    SECTION
      2.01.   The
      Advances and the Letters of Credit.
       (a)(i)
      The
      Term B-1 Advances.
      Each
      Term B-1 Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set
      forth, to make a single advance (a “Term
      B-1 Advance”)
      to the
      Borrower on or after the Effective Date in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s
      Term B-1 Commitment at such time, consisting of Term B-1 Advances made
      simultaneously by the Term B-1 Lenders ratably according to their Term B-1
      Commitments. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01(a)(i) and repaid or
      prepaid may not be reborrowed.

     

    (ii)
      The
      Term B-2 Advances.
      Each
      Term B-2 Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set
      forth, to make either one advance or two advances of equal principal amount
      (each, a “Term
      B-2 Advance”)
      to the
      Borrower on any Business Day during the Term B-2 Availability Period in an
      aggregate amount for all such advances not to exceed such Lender’s Term B-2
      Commitment at such time, consisting of Term B-2 Advances made simultaneously
      by
      the Term B-2 Lenders ratably according to their Term B-2 Commitments. Amounts
      borrowed under this Section 2.01(a)(ii) and repaid or prepaid may not be
      reborrowed.

     

    (b)  The
      Revolving Credit Advances.
      Each
      Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions
      hereinafter set forth, to make advances (each a “Revolving
      Credit Advance”)
      to the
      Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
      Business Day after the date of Initial Extension of Credit until the Termination
      Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility in an amount for each such
      Advance not to exceed such Lender’s Unused Revolving Credit Commitment at such
      time. Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be, in the case of a Eurodollar
      Rate
      Advance, in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of
      $100,000 in excess thereof, or, in the case of a Base Rate Advance, in an
      aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess
      thereof (other than a Revolving Credit Borrowing the proceeds of which shall
      be
      used solely to repay or prepay in full outstanding Swing Line Advances or
      outstanding L/C Credit Extensions) and shall consist of Revolving Credit
      Advances made simultaneously by the Revolving Credit Lenders ratably according
      to their Revolving Credit Commitments. Within the limits of each Revolving
      Credit Lender’s Unused Revolving Credit Commitment in effect from time to time,
      the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(b), prepay pursuant to
      Section 2.06(a) and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b).

     

    (c)  The
      Swing Line Advances.
      The
      Swing Line Bank agrees on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to
      make Swing Line Advances to the Borrower from time to time on any Business
      Day
      during the period from the Effective Date until the Termination Date in respect
      of the Revolving Credit Facility (i) in an aggregate amount for all Swing Line
      Advances not to exceed at any time outstanding the Swing Line Bank’s Swing Line
      Commitment at such time and (ii) in an amount for each such Swing Line Borrowing
      not to exceed the aggregate of the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments of the
      Revolving Credit Lenders at such time. No Swing Line Advance shall be used
      for
      the purpose of funding the payment of principal of any other Swing Line Advance.
      Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be in an amount of $100,000 or an integral
      multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and shall bear interest at the Base
      Rate
      plus the Applicable Percentage then applicable, or a rate mutually agreed by
      the
      Borrower and the Swing Line Bank. Within the limits of the Swing Line Facility
      and within the limits referred to in clause (ii) above, the Borrower may borrow
      under this Section 2.01(c), repay pursuant to Section 2.04(c) or prepay pursuant
      to Section 2.06(a) and reborrow under this Section 2.01(c). Immediately upon
      the
      making of a Swing Line Advance, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed
      to,
      and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing
      Line Bank a risk participation in such Swing Line Advance in an amount equal
      to
      such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Advance.

    (d)  The
      Letters of Credit.
      The
      Existing Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Borrower agree that effective as
      of
      the Effective Date, the Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been
      issued and maintained under, and to be governed by the terms and conditions
      of,
      this Agreement. Each Issuing Bank (other than the Existing Issuing Bank) agrees,
      on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue (or cause its
      Affiliate that is a commercial bank to issue on its behalf) letters of credit
      (together with the Existing Letter of Credit, the “Letters
      of Credit”)
      in
      U.S. Dollars for the account of the Borrower from time to time on any Business
      Day during the period from the Effective Date until 60 days before the
      Termination Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate
      Available Amount (i) for all Letters of Credit not to exceed at any time
      the lesser of (x) the Letter of Credit Facility at such time and (y) 
the Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment at such time and (ii) for
      each such Letter of Credit not to exceed the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments
      of the Revolving Credit Lenders at such time. No Letter of Credit shall have
      an
      expiration date (including all rights of the Borrower or the beneficiary to
      require renewal) later than the earlier of (a) one year after its date of
      issuance and (b) the 60th day prior to the Termination Date in respect of the
      Revolving Credit Facility, but may by its terms be renewable annually in
      accordance with the applicable Letter of Credit Agreement. Within the limits
      of
      the Letter of Credit Facility, and subject to the limits referred to above,
      the
      Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit under this
      Section 2.01(d), repay any L/C Credit Extensions resulting from drawings
      thereunder pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and request the issuance of
      additional Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(d). Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Existing Letter of Credit
      (including any automatic renewal provision), the Existing Letter of Credit
      may
      not be renewed after the Effective Date and shall expire on the expiration
      date
      in effect as of the Effective Date without giving effect to any renewal of
      the
      Existing Letter of Credit.

     

    SECTION
      2.02.   Making
      the Advances.
       (a)
       Except
      as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(b) or 2.03, each Borrowing shall be
      made on notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina
      time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing
      in
      the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or the date
      of
      the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate
      Advances, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to
      each
      Appropriate Lender prompt notice thereof. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a
      “Notice
      of Borrowing”)
      shall
      be in writing, or by telephone, confirmed promptly in writing, or telex or
      telecopier, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein
      the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Facility under which
      such Borrowing is to be made, (iii) Type of Advances comprising such
      Borrowing, (iv) aggregate amount of such Borrowing and (v) in the case
      of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period
      for each such Advance. Each Appropriate Lender shall, before 11:00 A.M.
      (Charlotte, North Carolina time) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of
      Eurodollar Rate Advances and 2:00 P.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) in
      the
      case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, in each case on the date
      of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending
      Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in
      same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing in accordance
      with the respective Commitments under the applicable Facility of such Lender
      and
      the other Appropriate Lenders. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such
      funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in
      Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the
      Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s Account no later than 2:00 P.M. (Charlotte,
      North Carolina time) on the date of such Borrowing); provided,
      however,
      that, in
      the case of any Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall
      first
      apply such funds to prepay ratably the aggregate principal amount of any Swing
      Line Advances and L/C Credit Extensions outstanding at such time, together
      with
      interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such date.

     

    
      
        27

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (b)  (i)
      Each
      Swing Line Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than
      11:00 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date of the proposed
      Swing Line Borrowing, by the Borrower to the Swing Line Bank and the
      Administrative Agent. Each such notice of a Swing Line Borrowing (a
“Notice
      of Swing Line Borrowing”)
      shall
      be in writing, or by telephone, confirmed promptly in writing, or telex or
      telecopier, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing,
      (ii) amount of such Borrowing and (iii) maturity of such Borrowing
      (which maturity shall be no later than the seventh day after the requested
      date
      of such Borrowing). The Swing Line Bank will make the amount of the requested
      Swing Line Advances available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative
      Agent’s Account, in same day funds. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of
      such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in
      Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the
      Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s Account no later than 2:00 P.M. (Charlotte,
      North Carolina time) on the date of such Borrowing).

     

    (ii)  The
      Swing
      Line Bank may, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, request on
      behalf of the Borrower (and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the
      Swing
      Line Bank to so request on its behalf) that each Revolving Credit Lender make
      a
      Base Rate Advance in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
      amount of Swing Line Advances then outstanding. Such request shall be deemed
      to
      be a Notice of Borrowing for purposes hereof and shall be made in accordance
      with the provisions of Section 2.02(a) without regard solely to the minimum
      amounts specified therein but subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
      set
      forth in Section 3.02. The Swing Line Bank shall furnish the Borrower with
      a
      copy of the applicable Notice of Borrowing promptly after delivering such notice
      to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount
      equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Notice of Borrowing
      available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative
      Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank, by deposit to the Administrative
      Agent’s Account, in same date funds, not later than 11:00 A.M. on the day
      specified in such Notice of Borrowing.

     

    (iii)  If
      for
      any reason any Swing Line Advance cannot be refinanced by a Revolving Credit
      Borrowing as contemplated by Section 2.02(b)(ii), the request for Base Rate
      Advances submitted by the Swing Line Bank as set forth in Section 2.02(b)(ii)
      shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Bank that each of the
      Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing
      Line
      Advance and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent
      for the account of the Swing Line Bank pursuant to Section 2.02(b)(ii) shall
      be
      deemed payment in respect of such participation.

     

    (iv)  If
      and to
      the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made the amount
      of
      its Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Advance available to the Administrative
      Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02(b)(ii), such Revolving
      Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
      such
      amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of the
      applicable Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Swing Line Bank until the date
      such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate
      plus
      1/2 of
      1%.

     

    
      
        28

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (v)  Each
      Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances or to
      purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Advance pursuant to this
      Section 2.02(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected
      by
      any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense
      or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Bank, the
      Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence
      or
      continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition,
      whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided,
      however,
      that
      each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances
      pursuant to Section 2.02(b)(ii) is subject to satisfaction of the conditions
      set
      forth in Section 3.02. No funding of risk participations shall relieve or
      otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Advances,
      together with interest as provided herein.

     

    (c)  Anything
      in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the
      Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for the initial Borrowing
      hereunder or for any Borrowing during the period from the date hereof until
      the
      earlier of (x) thirty days thereafter and (y) the completion of the primary
      syndication of the Facilities, as determined by the Administrative Agent in
      its
      sole discretion, or for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing
      is less than $5,000,000 or if the obligation of the Appropriate Lenders to
      make
      Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.09
      or Section 2.10 and (ii) the Term Advances may not be outstanding as part of
      more than 6 separate Borrowings and the Revolving Credit Advances may not be
      outstanding as part of more than 5 separate Borrowings.

     

    (d)  Each
      Notice of Borrowing and each Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall be irrevocable
      and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related
      Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances,
      the Borrower shall indemnify each Appropriate Lender against any loss, cost
      or
      expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure by the Loan Parties
      to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for
      such
      Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including,
      without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost
      or
      expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
      other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such
      Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure,
      is not made on such date.

     

    (e)  Unless
      the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from an Appropriate
      Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing under a Facility under which such
      Lender has a Commitment that such Lender will not make available to the
      Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the
      Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available
      to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with
      subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may,
      in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date
      a
      corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have
      so
      made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender
      and
      the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent
      forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon,
      for
      each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until
      the
      date such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in
      the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time under
      Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the
      case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate plus
      1/2 of
      1%. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding
      amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of
      such Borrowing for all purposes.

     

    
      
        29

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

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

     

    SECTION
      2.03.   Issuance
      of and Drawings and Reimbursement Under Letters of Credit.
       (a) 
      Request
      for Issuance.
      Each
      Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than
      11:00 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the tenth Business Day prior
      to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit (or such later
      day
      as the Issuing Bank shall agree), by the Borrower to the Issuing Bank, which
      shall give to the Administrative Agent prompt notice thereof by telecopier
      or
      electronic communication. Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit
      (a
“Notice
      of Issuance”)
      shall
      be in writing, or by telephone, confirmed promptly in writing, or telecopier
      or
      electronic communication, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such
      issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) Available Amount of such
      Letter of Credit (which amount shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless
      otherwise agreed by the Issuing Bank and to the Administrative Agent),
      (iii) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (iv) name and address
      of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (v) form of such Letter of
      Credit, and shall be accompanied by such application and agreement for letter
      of
      credit as the Issuing Bank may specify to the Borrower for use in connection
      with such requested Letter of Credit (a “Letter
      of Credit Agreement”).
      If
      (A) the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to the
      Issuing Bank in its sole discretion and (B) it has not received notice of
      objection to such issuance from the Required Lenders, the Issuing Bank will,
      upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III,
      make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at the Issuing Bank’s
      office referred to in Section 9.02 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrower
      in connection with such issuance. In the event and to the extent that the
      provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement,
      the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

     

    (b)  Letter
      of Credit Reports.
      Upon
      request by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank shall furnish (i) to
      the Administrative Agent on or about the first Business Day of each month a
      written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit
      issued during the previous month and drawings during such month under all
      Letters of Credit, (ii) to each Revolving Credit Lender on or about the
      first Business Day of each month a written report summarizing issuance and
      expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued during the preceding month and
      drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit and (iii) to the
      Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender on or about the first
      Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average
      daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all
      Letters of Credit.

     

    (c)  Participations
      in Letters of Credit.
      Upon
      the issuance of a Letter of Credit by the Issuing Bank under Section 2.03(a)
      or
      the deemed issuance of the Existing Letter of Credit under Section 2.01(e),
      the
      Issuing Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to
      have sold to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Revolving Credit Lender
      shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased
      from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount
      for
      each Revolving Credit Lender equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
      Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such
      Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each
      Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay
      such
      Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and
      not reimbursed by the Borrower forthwith on the date due as provided in Section
      2.04(d) (or which has been so reimbursed but must be returned or restored by
      the
      Issuing Bank because of the occurrence of an event specified in Section 6.01(f)
      or otherwise) by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending
      Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank by
      deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount
      equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such L/C Disbursement. Each Revolving
      Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire and pay
      for
      participations pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) in respect of Letters of Credit
      is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
      whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event
      of
      Default or the termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall
      be made without any off-set, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
      If
      and to the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made the
      amount of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent, such
      Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith
      on
      demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date
      such L/C Disbursement is due pursuant to Section 2.04(d) until the date such
      amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its
      account or the account of the Issuing Bank, as applicable. If such Lender shall
      pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the Issuing
      Bank
      on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall
      constitute a L/C Credit Extension made by such Lender on such Business Day
      for
      purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the L/C
      Credit Extension made by the Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on
      such Business Day.

    (d)  Drawing
      and Reimbursement.
      The
      payment by the Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall
      constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by the Issuing Bank
      of
      a L/C Credit Extension, which shall be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of
      such draft.

     

    (e)  Failure
      to Make L/C Credit Extensions.
      The
      failure of any Lender to make the L/C Credit Extension to be made by it on
      the
      date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its
      obligation hereunder to make its L/C Credit Extension on such date, but no
      Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the
      L/C
      Credit Extension to be made by such other Lender on such date.

     

    (f)  Applicability
      of ISP98.
      Unless
      otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter
      of
      Credit is issued, the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998”
published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such
      later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply
      to each Letter of Credit.

      is
      less than or equal to 2.50:1.00, 25% of the amount of Excess Cash Flow for
      such
      Fiscal Year. Each such prepayment shall be applied first
      ratably
      to the amortization installments under the Term Facility and second
      to the
      Revolving Credit Facility without reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitment
      or the Letter of Credit Commitment as set forth below in clause (v) of this
      Section 2.06(b).

     

    (ii)  The

      Party or any of its Subsidiaries from (A) the sale, lease, transfer or
      other disposition of any assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries
      (other than any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of assets pursuant
      to
      clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii)(B) or (vii)(D)(except as provided
      in

      or issued pursuant to Section 5.02(b)), (C) the issuance of any class of
      equity (other than pursuant to a Permitted Disposition or the issuance of equity
      compensation to the employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries including
      stock option exercises and restricted stock issuance), (D) any capital
      contribution and (E) any Extraordinary Receipt received by or paid to or for
      the

      of
      the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowings and (if applicable pursuant
      to Section 2.06(b)(vi) below) deposit an amount in the Collateral Account in
      an
      amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds. Each such
      prepayment shall be applied first
      to the
      Term Facility to reduce in direct order the next four scheduled amortization
      payments thereunder immediately following the date of such prepayment unless
      and

      reductions and, thereafter ratably to the remaining amortization installments
      thereunder and second

      the Revolving Credit Advances comprising part of the same Borrowings, the L/C
      Credit Extensions and the Swing Line Advances and (if applicable pursuant to
      Section 2.06(b)(vi) below) deposit an amount in the Collateral Account in an
      amount equal to the amount by which (A) the sum of the aggregate principal
      amount of (x) the Revolving Credit Advances, (y) the L/C Credit Extensions
      and
      (z) the Swing Line Advances then outstanding plus
      the
      aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding exceeds
      (B) the Revolving Credit Facility on such Business Day.

     

    (iv)  The
      Borrower shall, on each Business Day, pay to the Administrative Agent for
      deposit in the L/C Collateral Account an amount sufficient to cause the
      aggregate amount on deposit in the L/C Collateral Account to equal the amount
      by
      which the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding
      exceeds the Letter of Credit Facility on such Business Day.

     

    (v)  Prepayments
      of the Revolving Credit Facility made pursuant to clause (i), (ii), or (iii)
      above shall be made without reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitment or
      the
      Letter of Credit Commitment and shall be first
      applied
      to prepay L/C Credit Extensions then outstanding until such Advances are paid
      in
      full, second
      applied
      to prepay Swing Line Advances then outstanding until such Advances are paid
      in
      full, and third
      applied
      to prepay Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding comprising part of the
      same
      Borrowings until such Advances are paid in full and, in the case of prepayments
      of the Revolving Credit Facility required pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above,
      the amount remaining (if any) after the prepayment in full of the Advances
      then
      outstanding may be retained by the Borrower. Upon the drawing of any Letter
      of
      Credit for which funds are on deposit in the L/C Collateral Account, such funds
      shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank or Revolving Credit Lenders,
      as
      applicable.

    (vi)  All
      prepayments under this subsection (b) shall be made together with accrued
      interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid,
      together with any amounts owing pursuant to Section 9.04(c). If any payment
      of
      Eurodollar Rate Advances otherwise required to be made under Section 2.06(b)
      would be made on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period
      therefor, the Borrower may direct the Administrative Agent to (and if so
      directed, the Administrative Agent shall) deposit such payment in the Collateral
      Account until the last day of the applicable Interest Period at which time
      the
      Administrative Agent shall apply the amount of such payment to the prepayment
      of
      such Advances; provided,
      however,
      that
      such Advances shall continue to bear interest as set forth in Section 2.07
      until the last day of the applicable Interest Period therefor.

      shall accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by
      the
      Administrative Agent and (y) at any time after the payment of Default Interest
      has been required, the Required Lenders may, if they so determine, rescind
      the
      accrual or payment of any or all Default Interest.

      The
      Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent
      not later than 11:00 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the third
      Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the
      provisions of Sections 2.07 and 2.10, Convert all or any portion of the
      Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other
      Type; provided,
      however,
      that
      this Section 2.09(a) shall not apply to Swing Line Advances; and provided
      further that
      except as provided in Section 2.10(a), any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate
      Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an
      Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate
      Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than
      the
      minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(c), no Conversion of any Advances
      shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under
      Section 2.02(c) and each Conversion of Advances comprising part of the same
      Borrowing under any Facility shall be made ratably among the Appropriate Lenders
      in accordance with their Commitments under such Facility. Each such notice
      of
      Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the
      date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted and
      (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of
      the initial Interest Period for such Advances. Each notice of Conversion shall
      be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

     

    (b)  Mandatory.
      (i)
      On the
      date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances
      comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or
      otherwise, to less than $5,000,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert
      into Base Rate Advances.

     

    (ii)  If
      the
      Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any
      Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the
      definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent
      will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Appropriate Lenders, whereupon
      each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the
      then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate
      Advance.

     

    (iii)  Upon
      the
      occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, (A) each Eurodollar
      Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest
      Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (B) the obligation of
      the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances
      shall
      be suspended, unless in any such case the Required Lenders shall otherwise
      agree.

     

    SECTION
      2.10.   Increased
      Costs, Etc.
       (a)
      If, due
      to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation
      of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or
      request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not
      having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender
      Party of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate
      Advances or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating
      in Letters of Credit or of agreeing to make or of making or maintaining L/C
      Credit Extensions (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.10, any such
      increased costs resulting from (x) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which
      Section 2.12 shall govern) and (y) changes in the basis of taxation of
      overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the
      foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender Party is
      organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision
      thereof), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender
      Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the
      Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts
      sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased
      cost; provided,
      however,
      that a
      Lender Party claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.10(a) agrees
      to
      use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and
      regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office
      if
      the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount
      of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the
      reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such
      Lender Party. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted
      to the Borrower by such Lender Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all
      purposes, absent manifest error. Upon receipt of notice from a Lender Party
      claiming compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) and so long as no Event
      of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower, in addition
      to
      its rights under Section 2.10(e), shall have the right, on or before the 30th
      day after receipt of such notice, to Convert each Eurodollar Rate Advance under
      which such Lender has a Commitment into a Base Rate Advance, subject to payment
      in full of (i) all amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such
      increased costs and (ii) any amounts owing pursuant to Section 9.04(c) as a
      result of such conversion.

    (b)  If,
      due
      to either (i) the introduction or effectiveness of or any change in or in
      the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any
      guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority
      (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the
      amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender Party
      or
      any corporation controlling such Lender Party as a result of or based upon
      the
      existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate
      in Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or the
      issuance or maintenance of or participation in the Letters of Credit (or similar
      guaranteed Debts), then, upon demand by such Lender Party or such corporation
      (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall
      pay
      to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time
      to
      time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to
      compensate such Lender Party in the light of such circumstances, to the extent
      that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be
      allocable to the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue
      or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance
      of or participation in any Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts
      submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party shall be conclusive and binding
      for all purposes, absent manifest error.

     

    (c)  If
      (i)
      the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine (which determination shall
      be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that, by reason of
      circumstances affecting the relevant market, reasonable and adequate means
      do
      not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for an Interest Period or (ii)
      the Required Lenders shall reasonably determine (which determination shall
      be
      conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Eurodollar Rate does
      not
      adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding or maintaining
      the Eurodollar Rate Advances for any Interest Period that the Borrower has
      requested be outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify
      the
      Borrower and the Appropriate Lenders. Unless the Borrower shall have notified
      the Administrative Agent upon receipt of such notice that it wishes to rescind
      or modify its request regarding such Eurodollar Rate Advances, (x) each
      such Eurodollar Rate Advance that was requested to be Converted into or
      continued as a Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day
      of
      the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance
      and
      (y) the obligation of the Appropriate Lenders to make, or to Convert

      Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined
      that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

    (d)  Notwithstanding
      any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction or effectiveness
      of
      or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make
      it
      unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert
      that
      it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform
      its
      obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund
      or
      maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand
      therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent,
      (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance under each Facility under which such
      Lender has a Commitment will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into
      a
      Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Appropriate Lenders to
      make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended
      until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has
      determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist;
      provided,
      however,
      that,
      before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts
      (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions)
      to
      designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a
      designation would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue
      to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue
      to
      fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of
      such
      Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

     

    (e)  In
      the
      event that any Lender Party demands payment of costs or additional amounts
      pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.12 or asserts, pursuant to Section
      2.10(d), that it is unlawful for such Lender Party to make Eurodollar Rate
      Advances or becomes a Defaulting Lender then (subject to such Lender Party’s
      right to rescind such demand or assertion within 10 days after the notice from
      the Borrower referred to below) the Borrower may, so long as no Event of Default
      has occurred and is continuing and so long as such costs or additional amounts
      are materially more than those charged by other Lenders, upon 20 days’ prior
      written notice to such Lender Party and the Administrative Agent, elect to
      cause
      such Lender Party to assign its Advances and Commitments in full to one or
      more
      Persons selected by the Borrower so long as (a) each such Person satisfies
      the
      criteria of an Eligible Assignee and is reasonably satisfactory to the
      Administrative Agent, (b) such Lender Party receives payment in full of the
      outstanding principal amount of all Advances made by it and all accrued and
      unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due and payable to such Lender
      Party as of the date of such assignment (including, without limitation, amounts
      owing pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.12, 2.15 and 9.04) and (c) each such Lender
      Party assignee agrees to accept such assignment and to assume all obligations
      of
      such Lender Party hereunder in accordance with Section 9.07.

    SECTION
      2.11.   Payments
      and Computations.
       (a)
      The
      Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
      irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as otherwise
      provided in Section 2.15), not later than 11:00 A.M. (Charlotte, North
      Carolina time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Administrative Agent
      at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, with payments being
      received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been
      received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent will
      promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment
      by the Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any
      other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
      to
      more than one Lender Party, to such Lender Parties for the account of their
      respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts
      of
      such respective Obligations then payable to such Lender Parties and (ii) if
      such payment by the Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable
      hereunder to one Lender Party, to such Lender Party for the account of its
      Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the
      terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance
      and
      recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to
      Section 9.07(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and
      Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and
      under
      the other Loan Documents in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the
      Lender Party assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and
      Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods
      prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

     

    (b)  The
      Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender Party and each of its Affiliates, if
      and
      to the extent payment owed to such Lender Party is not made when due hereunder
      or under the other Loan Documents to charge from time to time, to the fullest
      extent permitted by law, against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such
      Lender Party or such Affiliate any amount so due.

     

    (c)  All
      computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the
      Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case
      may
      be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal
      Funds Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the
      Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the
      actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day)
      occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are
      payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate,
      fee
      or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
      manifest error.

     

    (d)  Whenever
      any payment hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be stated to
      be
      due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
      succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be
      included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment or letter
      of
      credit fee or commission, as the case may be; provided,
      however,
      that, if
      such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar
      Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment
      shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

     

    (e)  Unless
      the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior
      to
      the date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that the
      Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume
      that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent
      on
      such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,
      cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount
      equal to the amount then due such Lender Party. If and to the extent the
      Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative
      Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith
      on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest
      thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender
      Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative
      Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

    (f)  Whenever
      any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any
      of
      the other Loan Documents or any Secured Hedge Agreement is insufficient to
      pay
      in full all amounts due and payable to the Agents, the Lender Parties and the
      Hedge Banks under or in respect of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents
      and
      the Secured Hedge Agreement on any date, such payment shall be distributed
      by
      the Administrative Agent and applied by the Agents and the Lender Parties in
      the
      following order of priority:

     

    (i)  first,
      to the
      payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that
      are due and payable to the Agents (solely in their respective capacities as

      indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Agents on such
      date;

     

    (ii)  second,
      to the

      respective capacities as such) under or in respect of this Agreement and the
      other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate
      amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing
      to
      the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank on such date;

     

    (iii)  third,
      to the
      payment of all of the indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are
      due
      and payable to the Lenders under Sections 9.04 hereof, Section 14 of the Pledge
      Agreement and any similar section of any of the other Loan Documents on such
      date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such
      indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Lenders on such
      date;

     

    (iv)  fourth,
      to the
      payment of all of the amounts that are due and payable to the Administrative

      to
      the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(b) on such
      date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest
      owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such
      date;

     

    
      
        42

      to (A) the payment of the principal amount of all of the outstanding Advances
      that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties

      aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent

      the other Secured Parties on such date.

     

    If
      the
      Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the
      Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances
      for
      which the Loan Documents do not specify the Advances or the Facility to which,
      or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent

      of
      the Lender Parties in accordance with such Lender Party’s Pro Rata Share of the
      sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances outstanding at such

    SECTION
      2.12.   Taxes.
       (a)
      Any and
      all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of any Lender Party or
      any
      Agent hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with
      Section 2.11 or the applicable provisions of such other Loan Document, if
      any, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future
      taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, charges, assessments, fees or
      withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding,
      in the
      case of each Lender Party and each Agent, taxes that are imposed on its overall
      net income by the United States and taxes that are imposed on or measured by
      its
      overall net income (and franchise taxes or similar taxes imposed in lieu thereof
      including those imposed by Sections 67-4-2001 through 2121 of the Tennessee
      Code
      Annotated) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such
      Lender Party or such Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any political
      subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender Party, taxes that are
      imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof)
      by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender Party’s Applicable Lending
      Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes,
      levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect
      of
      payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document being hereinafter referred
      to as “Taxes”).
      If
      any Loan Party shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect
      of any sum payable hereunder or under Loan Document to any Lender Party or
      any
      Agent, (i) the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as may be
      necessary so that after such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent have made
      all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
      payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender Party or such Agent, as the
      case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had
      no
      such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make all such
      deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to
      the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
      law.

     

    (b)  In
      addition, each Loan Party shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary,
      excise, property, intangible, mortgage recording or similar taxes, charges
      or
      levies that arise from any payment made by such Loan Party hereunder or under
      any Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery or registration of,
      performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the other
      Loan Documents (hereinafter referred to as “Other
      Taxes”).

     

    
      
        43

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (c)  The
      Loan
      Parties shall indemnify each Lender Party and each Agent for and hold them
      harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full
      amount of taxes of any kind imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts
      payable under this Section 2.12, imposed on or paid by such Lender Party or
      such Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties,
      additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
      thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such
      Lender Party or such Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand
      therefor.

     

    (d)  Within
      30
      days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the appropriate Loan Party shall
      furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in
      Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such
      payment, to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written
      proof
      of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
      In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Loan Documents by or on behalf
      of a Loan Party through an account or branch outside the United States or by
      or
      on behalf of a Loan Party by a payor that is not a United States person, if
      such
      Loan Party determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, such Loan
      Party shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Administrative
      Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Administrative
      Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of
      subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 2.12, the terms “United
      States”
and
      “United
      States person”
shall
      have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue
      Code.

     

    (e)  Each
      Lender Party organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United
      States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this
      Agreement in the case of each Person that is a Lender Party as of the date
      hereof and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it
      becomes a Lender Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and from time
      to
      time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower (but only
      so
      long thereafter as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), provide
      each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two original Internal
      Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8EC1 or (in the case of a Lender Party
      that has certified in writing to the Administrative Agent that it is not (i)
      a
“bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code), (ii) a
      10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the
      Internal Revenue Code) of any Loan Party or (iii) a controlled foreign
      corporation related to any Loan Party (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4)
      of the Internal Revenue Code), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, as
      appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue
      Service, certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from or entitled to a
      reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this
      Agreement or any Loan Document or, in the case of a Lender Party that has
      certified that it is not a “bank” as described above, certifying that such
      Lender Party is a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust. If the
      forms provided by a Lender Party at the time such Lender Party first becomes
      a
      party to this Agreement indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate
      in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded
      from Taxes unless and until such Lender Party provides the appropriate forms
      certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser
      rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such
      forms; provided,
      however,
      that
      if, at the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which
      a
      Lender Party becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender Party assignor was
      entitled to payments under subsection (a) of this Section 2.12 in
      respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such
      date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to
      withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise
      includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with
      respect to the Lender Party assignee on such date. If any form or document
      referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information,
      other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information
      required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or
      W-8EC1 or the related certificate described above, that the applicable Lender
      Party reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender Party shall give
      notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such
      form or document such confidential information.

    (f)  For
      any
      period with respect to which a Lender Party has failed to provide the Borrower
      with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in
      subsection (e) above (other
      than
      if such
      failure is due to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application
      thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document
      originally was required to be provided or if such form, certificate or other
      document otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such Lender
      Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c)
      of this Section 2.12 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by
      reason of such failure; provided,
      however,
      that
      should a Lender Party become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver
      a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Loan Parties
      shall
      take such steps as such Lender Party shall reasonably request to assist such
      Lender Party to recover such Taxes.

     

    (g)  Any
      Lender Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
      Section 2.12 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal
      policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of
      its
      Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need
      for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter
      accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be
      otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party.

      2.13.   Sharing
      of Payments, Etc.
      If
      any
      Lender Party shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary,
      involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise, other
      than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 9.07) (a) on
      account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party hereunder and under
      the Notes and the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable
      share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations
      due and payable to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate
      amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and
      under the Notes and the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on
      account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder
      and
      under the Notes at such time obtained by all the Lender Parties at such time
      or
      (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such
      Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes and the other Loan Documents at
      such
      time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the
      amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time to
      (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and
      payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes and the other
      Loan
      Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but
      not
      due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such
      time obtained by all of the Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party
      shall
      forthwith purchase from the other Lender Parties such interests or participating
      interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case
      may
      be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the
      excess payment ratably with each of them; provided,
      however,
      that if
      all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such
      purchasing Lender Party, such purchase from each other Lender Party shall be
      rescinded and such other Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Lender
      Party
      the purchase price to the extent of such Lender Party’s ratable share (according
      to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender Party to
      (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender Parties) of such
      recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender Party’s ratable share
      (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender Party’s
      required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
      purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by
      the
      purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered;
provided
      further
      that, so
      long as the Obligations under the Loan Documents shall not have been
      accelerated, any excess payment received by any Appropriate Lender shall be
      shared on a pro rata basis only with other Appropriate Lenders. The Borrower
      agrees that any Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating interest
      from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest
      extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the
      right
      of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the
      case
      may be, as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the
      Borrower in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case
      may be.

    SECTION
      2.14.   Use
      of
      Proceeds.
      With
      respect to the proceeds of the Term B-1 Advances, at least $700 million of
      such
      proceeds shall be used to finance the Repurchase and the Refinancing, and to
      pay
      fees, expenses, and costs related thereto on the date of the Initial Extension
      of Credit, and the balance of such proceeds shall be used from time to time
      on
      and after such date to purchase additional shares of the Borrower’s outstanding
      common stock. The proceeds of the Term B-2 Advances shall be used to refinance
      the Convertible Notes and for other general corporate purposes. The proceeds
      of
      the Revolving Credit Advances and the Swing Line Advances and the issuance
      of
      the Letters of Credit shall be used for the account of the Borrower to provide
      working capital for and for other general corporate purposes of the Borrower
      and
      its Subsidiaries (other than to finance any portion of the Repurchase or the
      Refinancing).

     

    SECTION
      2.15.   Defaulting
      Lenders.
      (a)  In
      the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting
      Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Advance to the
      Borrower and (iii) the Borrower shall be required to make any payment hereunder
      or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting
      Lender, then the Borrower may, so long as no Default shall occur or be
      continuing at such time and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
      set off and otherwise apply the Obligation of the Borrower to make such payment
      to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender against the Obligation of such
      Defaulting Lender to make such Defaulted Advance. In the event that, on any
      date, the Borrower shall so set off and otherwise apply its obligation to make
      any such payment against the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make any
      such Defaulted Advance on or prior to such date, the amount so set off and
      otherwise applied by the Borrower shall constitute for all purposes of this
      Agreement and the other Loan Documents an Advance by such Defaulting Lender
      made
      on the date of such setoff under the Facility pursuant to which such Defaulted
      Advance was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01.
      Such
      Advance shall be considered, for all purposes of this Agreement, to comprise
      part of the Borrowing in connection with which such Defaulted Advance was
      originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01, even if the
      other Advances comprising such Borrowing shall be Eurodollar Rate Advances
      on
      the date such Advance is deemed to be made pursuant to this subsection (a).
      The
      Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent at any time the Borrower
      exercises its right of set-off pursuant to this subsection (a) and shall set
      forth in such notice (A) the name of the Defaulting Lender and the Defaulted
      Advance required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and (B) the amount set
      off
      and otherwise applied in respect of such Defaulted Advance pursuant to this
      subsection (a). Any portion of such payment otherwise required to be made by
      the
      Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender which is paid by the
      Borrower, after giving effect to the amount set off and otherwise applied by
      the
      Borrower pursuant to this subsection (a), shall be applied by the Administrative
      Agent as specified in subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 2.15.

    (b)  In
      the
      event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting Lender,
      (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Amount to any Agent or any
      of
      the other Lender Parties and (iii) the Borrower shall make any payment
      hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for
      the
      account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent may, on its
      behalf or on behalf of such other Agents or such other Lender Parties and to
      the
      fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply at such time the amount so
      paid by the Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender to the
      payment of each such Defaulted Amount to the extent required to pay such
      Defaulted Amount. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall so apply
      any
      such amount to the payment of any such Defaulted Amount on any date, the amount
      so applied by the Administrative Agent shall constitute for all purposes of
      this
      Agreement and the other Loan Documents payment, to such extent, of such
      Defaulted Amount on such date. Any such amount so applied by the Administrative
      Agent shall be retained by the Administrative Agent or distributed by the
      Administrative Agent to such other Agents or such other Lender Parties, ratably
      in accordance with the respective portions of such Defaulted Amounts payable
      at
      such time to the Administrative Agent, such other Agents and such other Lender
      Parties and, if the amount of such payment made by the Borrower shall at such
      time be insufficient to pay all Defaulted Amounts owing at such time to the
      Administrative Agent, such other Agents and such other Lender Parties, in the
      following order of priority:

     

    (i)  first,
      to the
      Agents for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to them, in their capacities as
      such, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing
      to
      the Agents;

     

    (ii)  second,
      to the
      Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to
      them, in their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective
      Defaulted Amounts then owing to the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank;
      and

     

    (iii)  third,
      to any
      other Lender Parties for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Lender
      Parties, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then
      owing
      to such other Lender Parties.

     

    Any
      portion of such amount paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting
      Lender remaining, after giving effect to the amount applied by the
      Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection (b), shall be applied by
      the Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (c) of this
      Section 2.15.

     

    (c)  In
      the
      event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting
      Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall not owe a Defaulted Advance or a
      Defaulted Amount and (iii) the Borrower, any Agent or any other Lender
      Party shall be required to pay or distribute any amount hereunder or under
      any
      other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the
      Borrower or such Agent or such other Lender Party shall pay such amount to
      the
      Administrative Agent to be held by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest
      extent permitted by applicable law, in escrow or the Administrative Agent shall,
      to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hold in escrow such amount
      otherwise held by it. Any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow
      under
      this subsection (c) shall be deposited by the Administrative Agent in an
      account with a bank (the “Escrow
      Bank”)
      selected by the Administrative Agent, in the name and under the control of
      the
      Administrative Agent, but subject to the provisions of this subsection (c).
      The terms applicable to such account, including the rate of interest payable
      with respect to the credit balance of such account from time to time, shall
      be
      the Escrow Bank’s standard terms applicable to escrow accounts maintained with
      it. Any interest credited to such account from time to time shall be held by
      the
      Administrative Agent in escrow under, and applied by the Administrative Agent
      from time to time in accordance with the provisions of, this
      subsection (c). The Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent
      permitted by applicable law, apply all funds so held in escrow from time to
      time
      to the extent necessary to make any Advances required to be made by such
      Defaulting Lender and to pay any amount payable by such Defaulting Lender
      hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent or
      any
      other Lender Party, as and when such Advances or amounts are required to be
      made
      or paid and, if the amount so held in escrow shall at any time be insufficient
      to make and pay all such Advances and amounts required to be made or paid at
      such time, in the following order of priority:

     

    
      
        47

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (i)  first,
      to the
      Agents for any amounts then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender to them
      hereunder, in their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such
      respective amounts then due and payable to the Agents;

     

    (ii)  second,
      to the
      Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to
      them, in their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective
      Defaulted Amounts then owing to the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line
      Bank;

     

    (iii)  third,
      to
      any
      other Lender Parties for any amount then due and payable by such Defaulting
      Lender to such other Lender Parties hereunder, ratably in accordance with such
      respective amounts then due and payable to such other Lender Parties;
      and

     

    (iv)  fourth,
      to the
      Borrower for any Advance then required to be made by such Defaulting Lender
      pursuant to a Commitment of such Defaulting Lender.

     

    In
      the
      event that any Lender Party that is a Defaulting Lender shall, at any time,
      cease to be a Defaulting Lender, any funds held by the Administrative Agent
      in
      escrow at such time with respect to such Lender Party shall be distributed
      by
      the Administrative Agent to such Lender Party and applied by such Lender Party
      to the Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time under this Agreement
      and the other Loan Documents ratably in accordance with the respective amounts
      of such Obligations outstanding at such time.

     

    (d)  The
      rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.15 are
      in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower may have against
      such
      Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Advance and that any Agent
      or
      any Lender Party may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any
      Defaulted Amount.

     

    SECTION
      2.16.   Evidence
      of Debt.
       (a)
      Each
      Lender Party shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account
      or
      accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting
      from each Advance owing to such Lender Party from time to time, including the
      amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time
      to
      time hereunder. The Borrower agrees that upon written notice by any Lender
      Party
      to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to
      the
      effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required
      or
      appropriate in order for such Lender Party to evidence (whether for purposes
      of
      pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by,
      such
      Lender Party, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender
      Party, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Revolving Credit Note and
      a
      Term Note, as applicable, in substantially the form of Exhibits A-1 and A-2
      hereto, respectively, payable to the order of such Lender Party in a principal
      amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Term Commitment,
      respectively, of such Lender Party. All references to Notes in the Loan
      Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder.

     

    
      
        48

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (b)  The
      Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d)
      shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender Party,
      in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and
      amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such
      Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto,
      (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted
      by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to
      become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender Party hereunder, and
      (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the
      Borrower hereunder and each Lender Party’s share thereof.

     

    (c)  Entries
      made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to
      subsection (b) above, and by each Lender Party in its account or accounts
      pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima
      facie
      evidence
      of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and
      payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender Party
      and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender Party, under this
      Agreement, absent manifest error; provided,
      however,
      that
      the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party to make an entry,
      or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account
      or
      accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower
      under this Agreement.

     

    SECTION
      2.17.   Replacement
      of Lenders.
      If any
      Lender (a) shall become affected by any of the changes or events described
      in
      Sections 2.10 or 2.12 and shall request that the Borrower pay for any increased
      cost or amounts thereunder, (b) is a Defaulting Lender or (c) has failed to
      consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant
      to the terms of Section 9.01 or any other provision of any Loan Document
      requires the consent of all affected Lenders and with respect to which the
      Required Lenders shall have granted their consent (any such Lender being
      hereinafter referred to as a “Replaced
      Lender”),
      then
      in such case, the Borrower may, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ notice to
      the Administrative Agent and such Replaced Lender (or such shorter notice period
      specified by the Administrative Agent), designate a replacement lender (a
“Replacement
      Lender”)
      acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, to which
      such Replaced Lender shall, subject to its receipt (unless a later date for
      the
      remittance thereof shall be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Replaced Lender)
      of all amounts owed to such Replaced Lender under Sections 2.10 and 2.12 assign
      all (but not less than all) of its rights, obligations, Advances and Commitments
      hereunder; provided,
      that
      all amounts owed to such Replaced Lender by the Borrower (except liabilities
      which by the terms hereof survive the payment in full of the Advances and
      termination of this Agreement) shall be paid in full as of the date of such
      assignment. Upon any assignment by any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17
      becoming effective, the Replacement Lender shall thereupon be deemed to be
      a
“Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement (unless such Replacement Lender was,
      itself, a Lender prior thereto) and such Replaced Lender shall thereupon cease
      to be a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall have no further
      rights or obligations hereunder (other than pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.12
      and
      Section 9.04 while such Replaced Lender was a Lender). Notwithstanding any
      Replaced Lender’s failure or refusal to assign its rights, obligations, Advances
      and Commitments under this Section 2.17, the Replaced Lender shall cease to
      be a
“Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the Replacement Lender shall be
      substituted therefor upon payment to the Replaced Lender by the Replacement
      Lender of all amounts set forth in this Section 2.17 without any further action
      of the Replaced Lender.

    (b)  Set
      forth
      on Schedule 4.01(b) hereto is a complete and accurate list of all
      Subsidiaries of each Loan Party, showing as of the date hereof (as to each

      reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) purports
      to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document
      or the consummation of the Transaction, and there has been no Material Adverse
      Change in the status, or financial effect on any Loan Party or any of its
      Subsidiaries, of the Disclosed Litigation from that described on Schedule 4.01(f)

      and
      represented, at the time of delivery, the Borrower’s reasonable best estimate of
      its future financial performance, based upon the assumptions set forth in such
      forecast.

      Obligations from time to time outstanding under the Loan Documents, and each
      of
      such Collateral Documents, upon the taking of possession of the Security
      Collateral as provided in the Pledge Agreement shall create a fully perfected
      security interest in all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such
      collateral, superior in right to any liens, existing or future, which the Loan
      Parties or any creditors of or purchasers from, or any other Person, may have
      against such collateral or interests therein. The Loan Parties are the legal
      and

      the
      liens and security interests created or permitted under the Loan
      Documents.

      the Lender Parties within 60 days after such request, at the expense of the
      Borrower, an environmental site assessment report for any of its or its
      Subsidiaries’ properties affected by the event, condition or circumstance in

      environmental consulting firm to prepare such report at the expense of the
      Borrower, and the Borrower hereby grants and agrees to cause any Subsidiary

      keep such leases in full force and effect and not allow such leases to lapse
      or
      be terminated or any rights to renew such leases to be forfeited or cancelled,
      notify the Administrative Agent of any default by any party with respect to
      such
      leases and cooperate with the Administrative Agent in all respects to cure
      any
      such default, except, in any case, where the failure to do so, either
      individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to have a
      Material Adverse Effect.

      Loan
      Party or any of its Subsidiaries is entitled to make under such Material
      Contract, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to do so, except, in any case,
      where the failure to do so, either individually or in the aggregate, would

      any Advance, or any Loan Party shall fail to make any other payment under any
      Loan Document, in each case under this clause (ii) within 3 Business Days after
      the same becomes due and payable; or

     

    (b)  any
      representation or warranty made by any Loan Party (or any of its officers)
      under
      or in connection with any Loan Document shall have been incorrect in any
      material respect when made; or

     

    (c)  the
      Borrower shall fail to perform any term, covenant or agreement contained in
      Section 2.14, 5.01(e) or (j), 5.02, 5.03 or 5.04; or

     

    (d)  any
      Loan
      Party shall fail to perform any other term, covenant or agreement contained
      in
      any Loan Document on its part to be performed or observed if such failure shall
      remain unremedied for 30 days after the earlier of the date on which (i) a

      under any agreement or instrument relating to any such Debt and shall continue

      or
      to permit the holder thereof to cause, such Debt to mature; or any such Debt
      shall be declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid or redeemed

    (f)  any
      Loan
      Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall generally not pay its debts as such
      debts
      become due, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally,

      liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection,
      relief, or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy,
      insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of
      an
      order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or other similar
      official for it or for any substantial part of its property and, in the case
      of
      any such proceeding instituted against it (but not instituted by it) that is
      being diligently contested by it in good faith, either such proceeding shall
      remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of 30 days or any of the actions
      sought in such proceeding (including, without limitation, the entry of an order

      such
      judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be
      in
      effect provided, however, that any such judgment or court order shall not be
      an
      Event of Default under this Section 6.01(g) if and for so long as (i) the entire
      amount of such judgment or court order is covered by a valid and binding policy
      of insurance between the defendant and the insurer covering payment thereof
      and
      (ii) such insurer, which shall be rated at least “A” by A.M. Best Company, has

    (h)  any
      non-monetary judgment or order shall be rendered against any Loan Party or
      any
      of its Subsidiaries that could be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
      Effect, and there shall be any period of 30 consecutive days during which a
      stay
      of enforcement of such judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or
      otherwise, shall not be in effect; or

     

    (i)  any
      provision of any Loan Document after delivery thereof pursuant to
      Section 3.01 or 5.01(j) shall for any reason cease to be valid and binding
      on or enforceable against any Loan Party party to it, or any such Loan Party
      shall so state in writing; or

     

    (j)  any
      Collateral Document or financing statement after delivery thereof pursuant
      to
      Section 3.01 or 5.01(j) shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the
      terms thereof) cease to create a valid and perfected first priority lien on
      and
      security interest in the Collateral purported to be covered thereby (or any
      Loan
      Party shall so assert or shall take any action to discontinue or to assert
      the
      invalidity or unenforceability thereof) , other than in respect of any item
      or
      items of Collateral the fair market value of which, either individually or
      in
      the aggregate, does not exceed $10,000,000; or

     

    (k)  a
      Change

    (l)  any
      ERISA
      Event shall have occurred with respect to a Plan and the sum (determined as
      of
      the date of occurrence of such ERISA Event) of the Insufficiency of such Plan
      and the Insufficiency of any and all other Plans with respect to which an ERISA
      Event shall have occurred and then exist (or the liability of the Loan Parties
      and the ERISA Affiliates related to such ERISA Event) exceeds $15,000,000;
      or

     

    (m)  any
      Loan
      Party or any ERISA Affiliate shall have been notified by the sponsor of a
      Multiemployer Plan that it has incurred Withdrawal Liability to such
      Multiemployer Plan in an amount that, when aggregated with all other amounts
      required to be paid to Multiemployer Plans by the Loan Parties and the ERISA
      Affiliates as Withdrawal Liability (determined as of the date of such
      notification), exceeds $15,000,000; or

     

    (n)  any
      Loan
      Party or any ERISA Affiliate shall have been notified by the sponsor of a
      Multiemployer Plan that such Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or is
      being
      terminated, within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA, and as a result of such
      reorganization or termination the aggregate annual contributions of the Loan
      Parties and the ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans that are then in
      reorganization or being terminated have been or will be increased over the
      amounts contributed to such Multiemployer Plans for the plan years of such
      Multiemployer Plans immediately preceding the plan year in which such
      reorganization or termination occurs by an amount exceeding $15,000,000;

     

    then,
      and
      in any such event, the Administrative Agent (i) shall, at the written
      request of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare all or
      any
      portion of the Commitments of each Lender Party and the obligation of each
      Lender Party to make Advances (other than L/C Credit Extensions by the Issuing
      Bank or a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and Swing
      Line Advances by a Swing-Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.02) and of each
      Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit to be terminated, whereupon the same
      shall forthwith terminate, and (ii) shall at the request, or may with the
      consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare all or
      any
      portion of the Advances, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable
      under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be forthwith due and
      payable, whereupon all or such portion, as applicable, of the Advances, all
      such
      interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable,
      without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of
      which
      are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided,
      however,
      that in
      the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect
      to
      the Borrower under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, (x) the Commitments of each
      Lender Party and the obligation of each Lender Party to make Advances (other
      than L/C Credit Extensions by the Issuing Bank or a Revolving Credit Lender
      pursuant to Section 2.03(c)) and of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of
      Credit shall automatically be terminated and (y) the Advances, all such
      interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable,
      without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which
      are
      hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

     

    SECTION
      6.02.   Actions
      in Respect of the Letters of Credit upon Default.
       If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
      Administrative Agent may, or shall at the request of the Required Lenders,
      irrespective of whether it is taking any of the actions described in Section
      6.01 or otherwise, make demand upon the Borrower to, and forthwith upon such
      demand the Borrower will, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
      Lender Parties in same day funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office, for
      deposit in the L/C Collateral Account, an amount equal to the aggregate
      Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding; provided,
      however,
      that in
      the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect
      to
      the Borrower under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, the Borrower shall be obligated
      to pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties in same
      day
      funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office, for deposit in the L/C Collateral
      Account, an amount equal to the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of
      Credit then outstanding, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice
      of
      any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. If at any
      time the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent determines that any
      funds held in the L/C Collateral Account are subject to any right or claim
      of
      any Person other than the Agents and the Lender Parties or that the total amount
      of such funds is less than the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of
      Credit, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent,
      pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held
      in
      the L/C Collateral Account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such
      aggregate Available Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then
      held in the L/C Collateral Account that the Administrative Agent determines
      to
      be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter
      of
      Credit for which funds are on deposit in the L/C Collateral Account, such funds
      shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank or Revolving Credit Lenders,
      as
      applicable, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

    THE
      AGENTS

     

    SECTION
      7.01.   Authorization
      and Action.
       (a)
      Each
      Lender Party (in its capacities as a Lender, the Swing Line Bank (if
      applicable), the Issuing Bank (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its
      Affiliates as potential Hedge Banks) hereby appoints and authorizes each Agent
      to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and
      discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated
      to
      such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and
      discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly
      provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement
      or collection of the Obligations of the Loan Parties), no Agent shall be
      required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required
      to
      act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or
      refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders or such
      other Lenders required by Section 9.01, and such instructions shall be binding
      upon all Lender Parties, all Hedge Banks and all holders of Notes; provided,
      however,
      that,
      whether or not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Loan
      Documents, no Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes or such
      Agent reasonably believes may expose such Agent to personal liability or that
      is
      contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Administrative Agent may
      release the Liens on any assets permitted to be sold, leased, transferred or
      otherwise disposed of pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

     

    (b)  In
      furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender Party (in its capacities as a Lender,
      the Swing Line Bank (if applicable), the Issuing Bank (if applicable) and on
      behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential Hedge Banks) hereby appoints
      and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender Party
      for
      purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral
      granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations,
      together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.
      In this connection, the Collateral Agent (and any Supplemental Collateral Agents
      appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 7.01(c) for purposes
      of
      holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted
      under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights or remedies
      thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent) shall be entitled to the
      benefits of this Article VII (including, without limitation, Section 7.05)
      as
      though the Collateral Agent (and any such Supplemental Collateral Agents) were
      an “Agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect
      thereto.

     

    (c)  Any
      Agent
      may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
      (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral
      (or
      any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising
      any
      rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent) by
      or
      through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice
      of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining
      to
      such duties. The Collateral Agent may also from time to time, when the
      Collateral Agent deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more
      trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents or
      attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Supplemental
      Collateral Agent”)
      with
      respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided,
      however,
      that no
      such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall be authorized to take any action with
      respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized
      in writing by the Collateral Agent. Should any instrument in writing from any
      Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by
      the
      Collateral Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such
      Supplemental Collateral Agent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the
      Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and
      deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Collateral
      Agent. If any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or successor thereto, shall die,
      become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges
      and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by
      law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Collateral Agent until
      the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent. No Agent shall be
      responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, attorney-in-fact
      or
      Supplemental Collateral Agent that it selects in accordance with the foregoing
      provisions of this Section 7.01(c) in the absence of such Agent’s gross
      negligence or willful misconduct.

    SECTION
      7.02.   Agents’
      Reliance, Etc.
       Neither
      any Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees
      shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under
      or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross
      negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the
      foregoing, each Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder
      thereof until, in the case of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative
      Agent
      receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Lender
      that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as
      assignee, or, in the case of any other Agent, such Agent has received notice
      from the Administrative Agent that it has received and accepted such Assignment
      and Acceptance, in each case as provided in Section 9.07; (b) may consult
      with legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan Party), independent public
      accountants and other experts selected by it with reasonable care and shall
      not
      be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in
      accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts;
      (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender Party and shall not
      be responsible to any Lender Party for any statements, warranties or
      representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the
      Loan
      Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the
      performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or
      conditions of any Loan Document on the part of any Loan Party or the existence
      at any time of any Default under the Loan Documents or to inspect the property
      (including the books and records) of any Loan Party and shall not be deemed
      to
      have notice or knowledge of a Default or Event of Default unless it receives
      a
      written notice from the Borrower expressly stating that a Default or Event
      of
      Default has occurred; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for
      the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency
      or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest
      created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan
      Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and
      (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by
      acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing
      (which may be by telegram, telecopy or telex) believed by it to be genuine
      and
      signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

     

    SECTION
      7.03.   Wachovia
      and Affiliates.
       With respect to its Commitments, the Advances made by it and the Notes
      issued to it, if any, Wachovia shall have the same rights and powers under
      the
      Loan Documents as any other Lender Party and may exercise the same as though
      it
      were not an Agent; and the term “Lender Party” or “Lender Parties” shall, unless
      otherwise expressly indicated, include Wachovia in its individual capacity.
      Wachovia and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as
      trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and
      generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any of its
      Subsidiaries and any Person that may do business with or own securities of
      any
      Loan Party or any such Subsidiary, all as if Wachovia was not an Agent and
      without any duty to account therefor to the Lender Parties. No Agent shall
      have
      any duty to disclose any information obtained or received by it or any of its
      Affiliates relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent
      such information was obtained or received in any capacity other than as such
      Agent.

       Each Lender Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without
      reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender Party and based on the financial
      statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and
      information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
      decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender Party also acknowledges
      that
      it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender
      Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate
      at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking
      action under this Agreement.

     

    SECTION
      7.05.   Indemnification.
       (a)
      Each
      Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify each Agent (to the extent not
      promptly reimbursed by the Loan Parties ) from and against such Lender Party’s
      ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities,
      obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
      expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed
      on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or
      arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent
      under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified
      Costs”);
      provided,
      however,
      that no
      Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
      losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
      disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct
      as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent
      jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees
      to
      reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs
      and
      expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable
      by the Borrower under Section 9.04, to the extent that such Agent is not
      promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. In the case
      of
      any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified
      Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation
      or proceeding is brought by any Lender Party or any other Person.

     

    (b)  Each
      Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Issuing Bank (to
      the
      extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Revolving
      Credit Lender’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all
      liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
      costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may
      be
      imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Issuing Bank in any way
      relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted
      by the Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents; provided,
      however,
      that no
      Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
      losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
      disbursements resulting from the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful
      misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent
      jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender
      agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its ratable share
      of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses
      of
      counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 9.04, to the extent that the
      Issuing Bank is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the
      Borrower.

     

    (c)  For
      purposes of this Section 7.05, the Lender Parties’ respective ratable
      shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum
      of
      (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding at such time
      and owing to the respective Lender Parties, (ii) their respective Pro Rata
      Shares of the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding
      at
      such time and (iii) the aggregate unused portions of their respective
      Revolving Credit Commitments and Term Commitments at such time; provided
      that the
      aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Advances owing to the Swing Line Bank
      and the aggregate principal amount of L/C Credit Extensions owing to the Issuing
      Bank shall be considered to be owed to the Revolving Credit Lenders ratably
      in
      accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments. The failure
      of
      any Lender Party to reimburse any Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
      be,
      promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid
      by
      the Lender Parties to such Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as
      provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation
      hereunder to reimburse such Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
      for
      its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be responsible
      for
      the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse such Agent or the Issuing
      Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender Party’s ratable share of such
      amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender
      Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender Party contained
      in
      this Section 7.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest
      and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan
      Documents.

    SECTION
      7.06.   Successor
      Agents. Any
      Agent
      may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lender Parties
      and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have
      the
      right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so
      appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment,
      within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then
      the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor
      Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United
      States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of
      at
      least $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder
      by
      a successor Agent and, in the case of a successor Collateral Agent, upon the
      execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments
      thereto, and such amendments or supplements to such other instruments or
      notices, as the Required Lenders reasonably determine to be necessary, or as
      the
      Required Lenders may reasonably request, in order to continue the perfection
      of
      the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, such
      successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
      discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent
      shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.
      If
      within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Agent’s resignation
      under this Section 7.06 no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall
      have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th
      day
      (a) the retiring Agent’s resignation shall become effective, (b) the
      retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations
      under the Loan Documents and (c) the Required Lenders shall thereafter
      perform all duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents until such
      time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided
      above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent shall have
      become effective, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its
      benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent
      under this Agreement.

     

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

     

    (a)  to
      file
      and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing
      and
      unpaid in respect of the Advances, Letter of Credit Agreements and all other
      Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may
      be
      necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lender Parties and
      the
      Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
      expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lender Parties and the
      Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other
      amounts due the Lender Parties and the Administrative Agent under Sections
      2.07,
      2.08(b) and 9.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

     

    and
      any
      custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
      similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
      Lender Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the
      event
      that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
      directly to the Lender Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount
      due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
      the
      Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due
      the
      Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08 and 9.04.

     

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

     

    SECTION
      7.08.   Collateral
      and Guaranty Matters.
       The Lender Parties (on behalf of themselves and any affiliated Secured
      Hedge Banks) and the Secured Hedge Banks irrevocably authorize the
      Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, in connection with
      a
      sale of assets or Equity Interests of a Subsidiary of the Borrower permitted
      under the Loan Documents:

     

    (a)  to
      release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent
      (and/or the Lender Parties and the Secured Hedge Banks, as the case may be)
      under any Loan Document or Secured Hedge Agreement; and

     

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

     

    Upon
      request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will
      confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or
      subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release
      any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty in either case pursuant
      to
      this Section 7.08.

     

    SECTION
      7.09.   Other
      Agents; Arrangers and Managers.

      or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation
      agent,” “bookrunner manager,” “bookrunner,” “lead arranger,” “co-arranger” or
“arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or
      duty under this Agreement other than to the extent expressly set forth herein
      and, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable to all Lender Parties as
      such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lender Parties or other
      Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship
      with any Lender. Each Lender Party acknowledges that it has not relied, and

    GUARANTY

     

    SECTION
      8.01.   Guaranty;
      Limitation of Liability.  (a)
      Each
      Guarantor except when and as released upon the occurrence of a Permitted
      Disposition, jointly and severally, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and
      irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled
      maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand
      or
      otherwise, of all Obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing
      under or in respect of the Loan Documents and the Secured Hedge Agreements
      (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions,
      amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether
      direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal,
      reimbursement obligations, interest (including Post Petition Interest),
      premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or
      otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed
      Obligations”),
      and
      agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, fees and
      expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured
      Party in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document
      or
      any Secured Hedge Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
      each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of
      the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any
      Secured Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents or the Secured Hedge
      Agreements but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due
      to
      the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving
      such other Loan Party.

     

    (b)  Each
      Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent
      and
      each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such
      Persons that this Guaranty and the Obligations of each
      Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for
      purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform
      Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the
      extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor
      hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent,
      the
      other Secured Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the
      Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited
      to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under
      this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance (after taking
      into account the provisions of paragraph (c) below).

     

    (c)  Each
      Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any
      payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guaranty
      or
      any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent
      permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor and each other guarantor
      so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or
      in
      respect of the Loan Documents.

     

    SECTION
      8.02.   Guaranty
      Absolute.
      Each
      Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly
      in
      accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law,
      regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting
      any
      of such terms or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto. The
      Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are
      independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other
      Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action
      or
      actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this
      Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower
      or
      any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined
      in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this
      Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of,
      and
      each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or
      hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the
      following:

     

    
      
        86

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (a)  any
      lack
      of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or
      instrument relating thereto;

     

    (b)  any
      change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of,
      all
      or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other
      Loan
      Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or
      waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without
      limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the
      extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries
      or
      otherwise;

     

    (c)  any
      taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other
      collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to
      departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed
      Obligations;

     

    (d)  any
      manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds
      thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale
      or
      other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any
      of
      the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under
      the
      Loan Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its
      Subsidiaries;

     

    (e)  any
      change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence
      of
      any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

     

    (f)  any
      failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information
      relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations,
      performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter
      known to such Secured Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of
      the
      Secured Parties to disclose such information);

     

    (g)  the
      failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty, any Guaranty
      Supplement or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of
      liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the
      Guaranteed Obligations; or

     

    (h)  any
      other
      circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or
      any
      existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might
      otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party
      or any other guarantor or surety.

     

    This
      Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
      if
      at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or
      must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the
      insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan
      Party
      or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

     

    SECTION
      8.03.   Waivers
      and Acknowledgments.  (a)
       Each
      Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence,
      notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of
      nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice
      with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any
      requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien
      or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against
      any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral.

     

    (b)  Each
      Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke
      this
      Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies
      to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the
      future.

    (c)  Each
      Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense
      arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies
      by
      any Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise
      adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution
      or
      indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor
      to
      proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other
      Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off
      or counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor
      hereunder.

     

    (d)  Each
      Guarantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may, without notice to or
      demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor
      under this Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and
      each
      Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Collateral Agent
      and
      the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such
      nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable
      law.

     

    (e)  Each
      Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part
      of
      any Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing
      relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations,
      performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party or any of its
      Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Secured Party.

     

    (f)  Each
      Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect
      benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents
      and
      that the waivers set forth in Section 8.02 and this Section 8.03 are
      knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

      and
      the Note or Notes held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall
      thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to

      Agent.

     

    SECTION
      8.06.   Subrogation. 
      Each
      Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any
      rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower, any
      other
      Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence,
      payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Obligations under or in
      respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including, without
      limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution
      or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any
      Secured Party against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider
      guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises
      in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without
      limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower, any other Loan
      Party
      or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other
      property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account
      of
      such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations
      and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full
      in cash, all Letters of Credit and all Secured Hedge Agreements shall have
      expired or been terminated and the Commitments shall have expired or been
      terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the
      immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of (a) the
      payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts
      payable under this Guaranty, (b) the Termination Date of all Facilities and
      (c) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit
      and all Secured Hedge Agreements, such amount shall be received and held in
      trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other
      property and funds of such Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered
      to
      the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary
      endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed
      Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured
      or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be
      held
      as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under
      this
      Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to any
      Secured Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of
      the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty
      shall have been paid in full in cash, (iii) the Termination Date for all
      Facilities shall have occurred and (iv) all Letters of Credit and all

      will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such
      Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation
      or
      warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor
      of

      Upon

      the form of Exhibit E hereto (each, a “Guaranty
      Supplement”),

      Guarantor”
and
      shall become and be a Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty
      to a “Guarantor”
shall
      also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and (b) each
      reference herein to “
      this Guaranty”,

    SECTION
      8.08.   Subordination.
      Each
      Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other
      Obligations owed to such Guarantor by each other Loan Party (the “Subordinated
      Obligations”)
      to the
      Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth
      below in this Section 8.08:

     

    (a)  Prohibited
      Payments, Etc.
      Except
      after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
      (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any
      Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor may receive
      regularly scheduled payments from any other Loan Party on account of the
      Subordinated Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of
      any
      Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under
      any
      Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), however, unless the Required
      Lenders otherwise agree, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action
      to
      collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.

     

    (b)  Prior
      Payment of Guaranteed Obligations.
      In any
      proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party, each
      Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive payment
      in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and
      expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy
      Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding
      (“Post
      Petition Interest”))
      before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated
      Obligations.

     

    
      
        89

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (c)  Turn-Over.
      After
      the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (including
      the
      commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law
      relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor shall, if the Administrative
      Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the
      Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Secured Parties and deliver such
      payments to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations
      (including all Post Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements
      or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any
      manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this
      Guaranty.

     

    (d)  Administrative
      Agent Authorization.
      After
      the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (including
      the
      commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law
      relating to any other Loan Party), the Administrative Agent is authorized and
      empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in
      the
      name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect
      of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the
      Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest), and
      (ii)
      to require each Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims
      in
      respect of, Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on
      such
      obligations to the Administrative Agent for application to the Guaranteed
      Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest).

      other
      Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan

      (including any change in any applicable defined term) used in determining the
      Applicable Percentage that would result in a reduction of any interest rate
      on
      any Loan or any fee payable hereunder without the written consent of each Lender
      directly affected thereby; provided,
      however,
      that
      only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (i) to amend the
      definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay
      interest at the Default Rate or (ii) to amend any financial covenant hereunder

      to reduce the rate of interest on any Advance or L/C Disbursement or to reduce
      any fee payable hereunder;

     

    (e)  change
      the order of application of any reduction in the Commitments or any prepayment

      the
      written consent of each Lender;

     

    (g)  release
      all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of
      related transactions, without the written consent of each Lender (it being
      understood that any Permitted Disposition of Logan’s pursuant to Section 5.02(e)
      shall not be subject to this clause);

     

    (h)  release
      one or more Guarantors (or otherwise limit such Guarantors’ liability with

      unused portion, if any, of the Commitments under such Facility plus
      (ii) the
      total outstanding amount of the Advances under such Facility, in each case,
      at
      such time then in effect. For purposes of this clause, the aggregate amount

      each Lender’s risk participation and funded participation in L/C Disbursements
      shall be deemed to be held by such Lender; or

     

    (j)  amend
      or

      Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
      exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
      the
      exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and
      not
      exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

      of each Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
      administration, modification and amendment of, or any consent or waiver under
      (in each case whether or not effective), the Loan Documents (including, without
      limitation, (A) all due diligence, collateral review, syndication,
      transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance, consultant,

      protection, interpretation or preservation of rights or interests, under the
      Loan Documents, with respect to negotiations with any Loan Party or with other
      creditors of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of any
      Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and
      with
      respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring
      any
      bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights
      generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto) and (ii) all costs and
      expenses of each Agent and each Lender Party in connection with the enforcement
      of the Loan Documents, whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any
      bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights

      of
      counsel for the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party with respect

    (b)  The
      Loan
      Parties agree to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Agent, each
      Lender Party and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers,
      directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified
      Party”)
      from
      and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses,
      liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
      expenses of counsel and settlement costs) that may be incurred by or asserted
      or
      awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in
      connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection
      with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense
      in
      connection therewith) (i) the Facilities, the actual or proposed use of the
      proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Transaction Documents
      or
      any of the transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) the actual or alleged
      presence of Hazardous Materials on any property of any Loan Party or any of
      its
      Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in any way to any Loan Party
      or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss,
      liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court
      of
      competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross
      negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation
      or
      other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such
      indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation
      or
      proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or
      creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not any
      Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the
      Transaction is consummated. Each Loan Party also agrees that, without the prior
      written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld),
      it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any
      pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which
      indemnification has been or could be sought under the indemnification provisions
      hereof (whether or not any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party
      to
      such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent
      (a) includes a full and unconditional written release of each Indemnified Party
      from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding and (b)
      does
      not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure
      to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

     

    In
      the
      event that an Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness
      in any action brought by or on behalf of or against any Loan Party or any of
      its
      Subsidiaries or Affiliates in which such Indemnified Party is not named as
      a
      defendant, such Loan Party agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Party for all
      reasonable expenses incurred by it in connection with such Indemnified Party’s
      appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including, without
      limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its legal counsel. Each Loan
      Party also agrees not to assert any claim against any Agent, any Lender Party
      or
      any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors,
      employees, agents and advisors, on any theory of liability, for special,
      indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating
      to the Facilities, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances
      or
      the Letters of Credit, the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions
      contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except for direct, as opposed to
      consequential, damages determined in a final nonappealable judgment by a court
      of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross
      negligence or willful misconduct.

     

    (c)  If
      any
      payment or prepayment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate
      Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender Party other
      than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of
      a
      payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09(b)(i) or 2.10(d),
      acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01 or
      for any other reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender Party other than
      on
      the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance upon an assignment of
      rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.07 as a result
      of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10(e), or if the Borrower
      fails to make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for which a notice of
      prepayment has been given or that is otherwise required to be made, whether
      pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.06 or 6.01 or otherwise, the Borrower shall,
      upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the
      Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such
      Lender Party any amounts required to compensate such Lender Party for any
      additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result
      of
      such payment or Conversion or such failure to pay or prepay, as the case may
      be,
      including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits),
      cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of
      deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender Party to fund or maintain such
      Advance.

     

    
      
        94

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (d)  If
      any
      Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable
      by
      it under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses
      of
      counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party
      by
      the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, in its sole
      discretion.

     

    (e)  Without
      prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder
      or
      under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations of the Loan
      Parties contained in Sections 2.10 and 2.12 and this Section 9.04 shall
      survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable
      hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents.

     

    SECTION
      9.05.   Right
      of Set-off.
       Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
      Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent
      specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare
      the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01,
      each Agent and each Lender Party and each of their respective Affiliates is
      hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
      permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general
      or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
      indebtedness at any time owing by such Agent, such Lender Party or such
      Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and
      all of the Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under the
      Loan
      Documents, irrespective of whether such Agent or such Lender Party shall have
      made any demand under this Agreement and although such Obligations may be
      unmatured. Each Agent and each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the
      Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided,
      however,
      that the
      failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
      application. The rights of each Agent and each Lender Party and their respective
      Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
      (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Agent, such
      Lender Party and their respective Affiliates may have.

     

    SECTION
      9.06.   Binding
      Effect.
       This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by
      each Loan Party and each Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have been
      notified by each Person that is a Lender Party as of the date hereof that such
      Lender Party has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure
      to
      the benefit of each Loan Party, each Agent and each Lender Party and their
      respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party shall have the
      right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior
      written consent of all the Lender Parties.

     

    SECTION
      9.07.   Assignments
      and Participations.
       (a)
      Each
      Lender (and the Existing Issuing Bank, Wachovia and any subsequent Issuing
      Bank)
      may, and so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if
      demanded by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10(e) upon at least five
      Business Days’ notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent will, assign
      to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations
      under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without
      limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances
      (including, for the purposes of this Section 9.07(a), participations in Letters
      of Credit and in Swing Line Advances) owing to it and the Note or Notes held
      by
      it); provided,
      however,
      that
      (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying,
      percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any or all
      Facilities (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect
      to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date”
is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date),
      (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately
      prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or an
      Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and
      obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being
      assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined
      as of
      the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment and
      treating related Approved Funds as one assignee for this purpose) shall in
      no
      event be less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be approved by
      the
      Administrative Agent) under each Facility for which a Commitment is being
      assigned, (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
      proportionate part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
      this Agreement with respect to the Advances or the Commitment assigned, except
      that this clause (iii) shall not (x) apply to rights in respect of Swing Line
      Advances or (y) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its
      rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis,
      (iv) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (v) each
      such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to
      Section 2.10(e) shall be arranged by the Borrower after consultation with
      the Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights
      and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment
      of
      a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such
      assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights
      and
      obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (vi) no Lender
      shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the
      Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10(e) unless and until such Lender shall have
      received one or more payments from either the Borrower or one or more Eligible
      Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding
      principal amount of the Advances owing to such Lender, together with accrued
      interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other
      amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, (vii) no such assignments
      shall be permitted without the consent of the Administrative Agent until the
      Administrative Agent shall have notified the Lender Parties that syndication
      of
      the Commitments hereunder has been completed and (viii) the parties to each
      such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for
      its
      acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together
      with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and
      recordation fee of $3,500; provided,
      however,
      that for
      each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant
      to
      Section 2.10(e), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the
      applicable processing and recordation fee; provided
      further
      that
      only one such fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments
      to or by two or more Approved Funds.

    (b)  Upon
      such
      execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective
      date
      specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder
      shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder
      have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the
      rights and obligations of a Lender, the Swing Line Bank or the Issuing Bank,
      as
      the case may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender Party assignor thereunder
      shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned
      by
      it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other
      than
      its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 9.04 to the extent any claim
      thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released
      from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment
      and
      Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender Party’s
      rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender Party shall cease
      to be
      a party hereto).

     

    (c)  By
      executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender Party
      assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with
      each
      other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than
      as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender Party
      makes
      no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to
      any
      statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any
      Loan
      Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
      sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security
      interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any
      Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto;
      (ii) such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and
      assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan
      Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its
      obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document
      furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has
      received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial
      statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and
      information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and
      decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee
      will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, such assigning Lender
      Party or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information
      as
      it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions
      in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee
      confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and
      authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise
      such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to such
      Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion
      as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that
      it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that
      by
      the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender,
      Swing Line Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

     

    (d)  The
      Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02
      a
      copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and
      a
      register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender Parties
      and the Commitment under each Facility of, and principal amount of the Advances
      owing under each Facility to, each Lender Party from time to time (the
“Register”).
      The
      entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
      manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lender Parties may treat
      each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender Party hereunder
      for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for
      inspection by the Borrower or any Agent at any reasonable time and from time
      to
      time upon reasonable prior notice.

     

    (e)  Upon
      its
      receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender Party
      and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes (if any) subject to such
      assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance
      has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto,
      (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information
      (the “Ownership Information”) contained therein in the Register and
      (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and each other Agent. Any
      transfer of an ownership interest in any Advance, including any right to
      principal or interest payable with respect to the Advance, shall be subject
      to
      and conditioned upon the due recordation of such transfer and the Ownership
      Information with respect to the transferee in the Register and such transfer
      shall be effective only upon such recordation (and not prior thereto). In the
      case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt
      of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver
      to
      the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes (if
      any)
      a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the
      Commitment assumed by it under each Facility pursuant to such Assignment and
      Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender that had a Note or Notes prior to such
      Assignment has retained a Commitment hereunder under such Facility, a new Note
      to the order of such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment
      retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate
      principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered
      Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and
      Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1
      or A-2 hereto, as the case may be.

     

    
      
        96

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (f)  The
      Issuing Bank may assign to an Eligible Assignee all of its rights and
      obligations under the undrawn portion of its Letter of Credit Commitment at
      any
      time; provided,
      however,
      that (i)
      each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and (ii) the parties
      to
      each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent,
      for
      its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance,
      together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.

     

    (g)  Each
      Lender Party may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any
      Loan
      Party or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and
      obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a
      portion of its Commitments, the Advances (including such Lender’s participations
      in L/C Credit Extensions and/or Swing Line Advances) owing to it and the Note
      or
      Notes (if any) held by it); provided,
      however,
      that
      (i) such Lender Party’s obligations under this Agreement (including,
      without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
      Lender Party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for
      the
      performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender Party shall remain the
      holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Loan
      Parties, the Agents and the other Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely
      and directly with such Lender Party in connection with such Lender Party’s
      rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under
      any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver
      of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any
      Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or
      consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any
      fees
      or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such
      participation, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or
      interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in
      each case to the extent subject to such participation, or release all or
      substantially all of the Collateral
      or
      release any of the Subsidiary Guarantors from any of their Obligations under
      the
      Loan Documents if such release is in respect of all or substantially all of
      the
      value of the Guaranties. Each of the Loan Parties agrees that each participant
      shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 8.04 and 9.04(b)
      to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
      assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section. To the extent permitted
      by
      law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.05
      as
      though it were a Lender, provided
      such
      participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a
      Lender.
      A
      participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections
      2.10 and 2.12 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive
      with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale
      of
      the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written
      consent.

     

    (h)  Any
      Lender Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed
      assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the
      assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information
      relating to the Loan Parties furnished to such Lender Party by or on behalf
      of
      the Loan Parties; provided,
      however,
      that,
      prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee
      or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential
      Information received by it from such Lender Party.

     

    (i)  Notwithstanding
      any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender Party may at any
      time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
      Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the
      Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it) in favor of
      any
      Federal Reserve Bank.

    (j)  Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may create
      a security interest in all or any portion of the Advances owing to it and any
      Note or Notes held by it to a creditor or the trustee for holders of obligations
      owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or
      securities, provided,
      that
      unless and until such creditor or trustee actually becomes a Lender in
      compliance with the other provisions of this Section 9.07, (i) no such pledge
      shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan
      Documents and (ii) such creditor or trustee shall not be entitled to exercise
      any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee
      may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through
      foreclosure or otherwise.

     

    (k)  Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender Party (a “Granting
      Lender”)
      may
      grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from
      time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
      (an “SPC”)
      the
      option to provide all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender
      would
      otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement, provided
      that
      (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any
      Advance, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise
      fails to make all or any part of such Advance, the Granting Lender shall be
      obligated to make such Advance pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of
      an
      Advance by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender
      to the same extent, and as if, such Advance were made by such Granting Lender.
      Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) no SPC shall be liable for any
      indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender
      Party would be liable, (ii) no SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
      2.10 and 2.12 (or any other increased costs protection provision) and (iii)
      the
      Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including, without limitation, the
      approval of any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document,
      remain the Lender Party of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing,
      each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination
      of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after
      the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior Debt
      of
      any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting
      against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency,
      or
      liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any SPC
      may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of, the Borrower and the
      Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign
      all
      or any portion of its interest in any Advance to the Granting Lender and
      (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating
      to its funding of Advances to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or
      provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such
      SPC. This subsection (k) may not be amended without the prior written consent
      of
      each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Advances are being funded by
      the
      SPC at the time of such amendment.

     

    (l)  Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Wachovia assigns
      all
      of its Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Advances pursuant
      to
      Section 9.07(a), Wachovia may, (i) upon 10 days’ notice to the Loan Parties
      and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Bank and/or (ii) upon 10 days’ notice to the
      Loan Parties, resign as Swing Line Bank. In the event of any such resignation
      as
      Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank, the Loan Parties shall be entitled to appoint
      from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank hereunder;
      provided,
      however,
      that no
      failure by the Loan Parties to appoint any such successor shall affect the
      resignation of Wachovia as Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank, as the case may
      be.
      If Wachovia resigns as Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights and
      obligations of the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all L/C Credit
      Extensions outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing
      Bank and all L/C Credit Extensions with respect thereto (including the right
      to
      require the Lenders to make Base Rate Advances or fund risk participations
      in
      unreimbursed amounts pursuant to Section 2.03). If Wachovia resigns as Swing
      Line Bank, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Bank provided for
      hereunder with respect to Swing Line Advances made by it and outstanding as
      of
      the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the
      Lenders to make Base Rate Advances or fund risk participations in outstanding
      Swing Line Advances pursuant to Section 2.02.

    SECTION
      9.08.   Execution
      in Counterparts.
       This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
      different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
      executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together
      shall
      constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery by telecopier or electronic
      mail
      of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be
      effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this
      Agreement.

     

    SECTION
      9.09.   No
      Liability of the Issuing Bank.
       The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary
      or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter
      of
      Credit. Neither the Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall
      be
      liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit
      or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection
      therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of
      any
      endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all
      respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by the Issuing
      Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of
      a
      Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference
      or
      adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances
      whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit,
      except that the Borrower shall have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the
      Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any direct,
      but
      not consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower that the Borrower proves
      were caused by (i) the Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as
      determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent
      jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of
      Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) the Issuing Bank’s
      willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the
      presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the
      terms
      and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation
      of
      the foregoing, the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face
      to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless
      of
      any notice or information to the contrary.

     

    SECTION
      9.10.   Confidentiality.
       Neither any Agent nor any Lender Party shall disclose any Confidential
      Information to any Person without the consent of the Borrower, other than
      (a) to such Agent’s or such Lender Party’s Affiliates and their officers,
      directors, employees, agents and advisors and to any pledgee referred to in
      Section 9.07(j) and any actual or prospective Eligible Assignees and
      participants, and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any
      law, rule or regulation or judicial process, (c) as requested or required
      by any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National
      Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or
      quasi-regulatory authority) regulating such Lender Party, (d) to any rating
      agency when required by it, provided
      that,
      prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve
      the
      confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Loan Parties
      received by it from such Lender Party, (e) in connection with any litigation
      or
      proceeding to which such Agent or such Lender Party or any of its Affiliates
      may
      be a party or (f) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under
      this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

     

    SECTION
      9.11.   Release
      of Collateral.  Upon
      the
      sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of or
      by
      any Loan Party (including, without limitation, as a result of the sale, in
      accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, of the Loan Party that owns
      such Collateral) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the
      Collateral Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to such
      Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence
      the release of such item of Collateral from the Liens granted under the
      Collateral Documents in accordance with the terms of the Loan
      Documents.

    SECTION
      9.12.   Patriot
      Act Notice.
       Each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on
      behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the
      requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record
      information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the
      name
      and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender
      or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in
      accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of
      its
      Subsidiaries to, provide such information and take such actions as are
      reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party in order
      to
      assist the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties in maintaining compliance
      with the Patriot Act.

     

    SECTION
      9.13.   Jurisdiction,
      Etc.  (a)
       EACH
      OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF
      AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT
      OR FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY,
      AND
      ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND FOR PURPOSES OF ENFORCEMENT OF
      COLLATERAL SECURITY OR RELATED MATTERS, THE COURTS OF THE JURISDICTION WHERE
      SUCH COLLATERAL IS LOCATED, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
      RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR FOR RECOGNITION

      AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR
      PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR, TO THE EXTENT
      PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES
      THAT
      A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY
      BE
      ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER
      PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY
      PARTY
      MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT
      OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

     

    (b)  EACH
      OF
      THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
      EXTENT IT MAY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO SO, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW

      OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS IN ANY NEW
      YORK
      STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES,
      TO
      THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO
      THE
      MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

     

    SECTION
      9.14.   GOVERNING
      LAW.
       THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
      ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

    SECTION
      9.15.   WAIVER
      OF JURY TRIAL.
       EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
      APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY
      LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH
      THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO
      (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY
      HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN
      THE
      EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
      (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO
      ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY,
      AMONG
      OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION
      9.15.
