      Amendment
to Selling Agreement

    

    
       

      This
Amendment to Selling Agreement (“Amendment”), which is
effective as of January 1, 2009, amends that certain Selling Agreement (the
“Selling
Agreement”) dated April 25, 2007 by and between [*] and Investors Mortgage
Holdings, Inc. (“IMH”).

    

    
       

      Recitals

    

    
       

      
        	
              	
                1.

              	
                Section
      VI.B. of the Selling Agreement provides that IMH will pay to [*] and its registered
      Brokers (collectively “[*]/Brokers”) a
      trail commission based on the amount of invested capital that remained
      with the IMH Secured Loan Fund, LLC (the “Fund”), which
      trail was to be paid in perpetuity until investor funds to which the trail
      related were withdrawn from the
Fund.

              

      

    

    
       

      
        	
              	
                2.

              	
                On
      October 6, 2008, in an effort to maintain capital for operation of the
      Fund, IMH, among other things, suspended the acceptance of requests for
      redemption by members and ceased origination of loans, which was a primary
      revenue source to IMH.

              

      

    

    
       

      NOW
THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, [*] and IMH hereby agree that
Section VI.B. of the Selling Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced by the following:

    

    
       

      B. Additional Compensation for
Broker. [*]/Brokers are also entitled
to a Pro Rata Share of 50% of Net Recovery Proceeds earned and received by IMH.
The term “Net Recovery
Proceeds,” as used in this Section VI.B., is defined as that amount
earned and received by IMH after August 1, 2009, pursuant to the Operating
Agreement of the LLC, which provides that the LLC shall pay IMH 25% of late
fees, penalties, or any net proceeds from the sale of a foreclosed or related
asset after payment to the LLC of its principal and the contractual note rate
interest due in connection with the loan or asset associated with the foreclosed
asset. “Pro Rata
Share,” as used in this Section VI.B., is defined as that amount equal to
50 basis points (0.5%) annualized, of capital (excluding reinvestments and net
of redemptions) that was invested in the LLC as a result of sales of Units by
[*]/Brokers (the “[*] Trailing Compensation”) as of
the date of receipt of Net Recovery Proceeds (the “Receipt Date”)
divided by the total amount of all such similar compensation due to all
Broker-Dealers at the Receipt Date.

    

    
       

      All terms
and conditions of the Selling Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
except as specifically modified by this Amendment. By signing below, [*] confirms that it and its
registered representatives complied with the Selling Agreement and that it
waives any breaches or defaults that IMH may have committed thereunder in
connection with the matters that are the subject of this
Amendment.

    

    
       

      IN
WITNESS WHEROF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the first date
written above.

    (a)           On
the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement and the
Orders, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make loans in Dollars (each a
“Revolving Loan”) to
the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
Closing Date until the Revolving Termination Date in an aggregate principal
amount at any time outstanding for all such loans by such Revolving Lender not
to exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that at no
time shall any Revolving Lender be obligated to make a Revolving Loan in excess
of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Available Credit, provided, further, that (i) during the
period from the Closing Date until the Final Closing Date, the aggregate
principal amount of Revolving Loans shall at no time exceed the Revolving
Interim Availability Amount and (ii) at any time following the Final Closing
Date, the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans shall at no time exceed
that aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans permitted to be made to the
Borrower pursuant to the Orders.  Within the limits of the Revolving
Commitment of each Revolving Lender, amounts of Revolving Loans repaid may be
reborrowed under this Section 2.1(a).

     

    (b)           On
the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement and the
Orders, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (a “Term Loan”) in Dollars to the
Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term
Commitment.  Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.1(a) and repaid or
prepaid may not be reborrowed.

     

    Section
2.2          Borrowing
Procedures

     

    (a)           Each
Borrowing shall be made on irrevocable notice given by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent (i) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) the date of
the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing of CBFR Loans, and (ii) not
later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) 3 Business Days, in the case of a
Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, prior to the date of the proposed
Borrowing.  Each such notice shall be in substantially the form of
Exhibit B (a
“Notice of Borrowing”),
specifying (A) the date of such proposed Borrowing, (B) the aggregate amount of
such proposed Borrowing, (C) whether any portion of the proposed Borrowing will
be of CBFR Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, (D) whether the Loan will be a
Revolving Loan or a Term Loan, (E) the initial Interest Period or Periods for
any such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (F) for Revolving Borrowings, the Available
Credit (after giving effect to such proposed Revolving
Borrowing).  The Loans shall be made as CBFR Loans unless, subject to
Section 2.14, the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof
shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans, provided that all Borrowings
made on the Closing Date and the Final Closing Date shall be made initially as
CBFR Borrowings but may be converted into Eurodollar Borrowings in accordance
with Section 2.10.

     

    (b)           Each
Revolving Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of the
proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address
referred to in Section 13.7, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s
Revolving Percentage of such proposed Borrowing.  Upon fulfillment (or
due waiver in accordance with Section 13.1) (i) on the Closing Date, of
the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.1, (ii) on the Final Closing
Date, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2 and (iii) at any
time (including the Closing Date and Final Closing Date), of the applicable
conditions set forth in Section 3.3, as the case may be, and after the
Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds, the Administrative Agent shall
make such funds available to the Borrower.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        34

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

     

    (c)           Each
Term Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of the proposed
Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to
in Section 13.7, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Term Percentage
of such proposed Borrowing.  Upon fulfillment (or due waiver in
accordance with Section 13.1) (i) on the Closing Date, of
the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.1 and (ii) on the Final Closing
Date, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2, as the case may be,
and after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds, the Administrative
Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower.

     

    (d)           Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s Revolving Percentage or Term Percentage, as
applicable, of such Borrowing (or any portion thereof), the Administrative Agent
may assume that such Lender has made such Revolving Percentage or Term
Percentage, as applicable, available to the Administrative Agent on the date of
such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.2 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 Revolving Percentage or Term Percentage, as
applicable, available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower
severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on written demand
such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the
date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is
repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the
interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and
(ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first
Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the
Loans comprising such Borrowing.  If such Lender shall repay to the
Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such corresponding amount so
repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for
purposes of this Agreement.  If the Borrower shall repay to the
Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve
such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the
Borrower.

     

    (e)           The
failure of any Lender to make on the date specified any Loan or any payment
required by it (such Lender being a “Non-Funding Lender”),
including any payment in respect of its participation in Letter of Credit
Obligations, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such
Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for
the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan or payment required under
this Agreement.

     

    Section
2.3          Letters of
Credit

     

    (a)           Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the
Issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuer, at any time and from time
to time during the Availability Period.  Each Letter of Credit shall
(i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x)
the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five
Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date.  In the event
of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other
agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with,
the Issuer relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall control in all respects.

    
      
         

      

      
        35

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (b)           To
request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or
extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver
or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing
so have been approved by the Issuer) to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent
(prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to
the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice
requesting the Issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of
Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of Issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on
which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with
paragraph Section 2.3(c)), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name
and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be
reasonably necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of
Credit.  If requested by the Issuer, the Borrower also shall submit a
letter of credit application on the Issuer’s standard form in connection with
any request for a Letter of Credit.  A Letter of Credit shall be
Issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon Issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to
represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension (i) the Letter of Credit Obligations would not exceed the
Letter of Credit Sublimit or (ii) the aggregate amount of Revolving Outstandings
would not exceed the Maximum Credit

     

    (c)           Each
Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the
earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the Issuance of such
Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year
after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business
Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date.

     

    (d)           By
the Issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit
increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the
Issuer or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuer hereby grants to each Revolving
Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuer, a
participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's Revolving
Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each
Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuer, such Lender's Revolving
Percentage of each Letter of Credit Disbursement made by the Issuer and not
reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph Section
2.3(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower
for any reason.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that
its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect
of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of
any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction
or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be
made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever.

     

    (e)           If
the Issuer shall make any Letter of Credit Disbursement in respect of a Letter
of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such Letter of Credit Disbursement by
paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such Letter of Credit
Disbursement not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day
immediately following the day that the Borrower receives written notice of such
payment.  If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable Letter
of Credit Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect
thereof and such Lender's Revolving Percentage thereof.  Promptly
following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent its Revolving Percentage of the payment then due from the
Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.2(b) with respect to
Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section
2.2(b)  shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of
the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the
Issuer the amounts so received by it from the Revolving
Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of
any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative
Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuer or, to the extent that
Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the
Issuer, then to such Revolving Lenders and the Issuer as their interests may
appear.  Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this
paragraph to reimburse the Issuer for any Letter of Credit Disbursement shall
not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to
reimburse such Letter of Credit Disbursement.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        36

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (f)           The
Borrower's obligation to reimburse Letter of Credit Disbursements as provided in
Section 2.3(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be
performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and
all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or
provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of
Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by
the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other
document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv)
any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.3, constitute a
legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the
Borrower's obligations hereunder (other than payment or
performance).  Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders
nor the Issuer, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or
responsibility by reason of or in connection with the Issuance or transfer of
any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder
(irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding
sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission
or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any
Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder),
any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from
causes beyond the control of the Issuer; provided that this assumption
is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower from pursuing such
rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary at law or under any
other agreement, provided further that the
foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuer from liability to the
Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential
damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the
extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by
such Issuer’s failure to exercise the standard of care set forth above when
determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of
Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly
agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part
of the Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the
Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such
determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting
the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents
presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the
terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either
accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or
refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not
in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

     

    (g)           The
Issuer shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents
purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit.  The Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment
and whether the Issuer has made or will make a Letter of Credit Disbursement
thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice
shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuer and the
Revolving Lenders with respect to any such Letter of Credit
Disbursement.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        37

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (h)           If
the Issuer shall make any Letter of Credit Disbursement, then, unless the
Borrower shall reimburse such Letter of Credit Disbursement in full on the date
such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for
each day from and including the date such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made
to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such Letter of Credit
Disbursement, at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in
effect with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility; provided that, if the
Borrower fails to reimburse such Letter of Credit Disbursement when due pursuant
to Section 2.3(e), then Section 2.9(b) shall apply.  Interest accrued
pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuer, except that
interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender
pursuant to Section 2.3(e) to reimburse the Issuer shall be for the account of
such Lender to the extent of such payment.

     

    (i)           The
Issuer may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuer and the successor
Issuer.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders
of any such replacement of the Issuer.  At the time any such
replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees
accrued for the account of the replaced Issuer pursuant to Section
2.11(b).  From and after the effective date of any such replacement,
(i) the successor Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuer
under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter
and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such
successor or to any previous Issuer, or to such successor and all previous
Issuers, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of an
Issuer hereunder, the replaced Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuer under this
Agreement solely with respect to Letters of Credit Issued by it prior to such
replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of
Credit.

     

    (j)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, on and after the Closing Date, each letter of
credit set forth on Schedule
2.3 will constitute a Letter of Credit, and the issuer of such letter of
credit shall constitute an Issuer, under this Agreement and for purposes hereof
will be deemed to have been issued on the Closing Date, provided that the Specified
Letter of Credit shall not be considered a Letter of Credit Obligation for the
purposes of (i) the definition of “Revolving Outstandings” and (ii) Section
2.11(a).  The Borrower agrees that it shall pay such other fees in
respect of the Specified Letter of Credit as may be mutually agreed to by the
Borrower and JPMorgan.

     

    Section
2.4          Reduction and
Termination of the Commitments

     

    The
Borrower may, upon at least 5 Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative
Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably the unused portions of the
respective Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders.  All
outstanding Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Scheduled Termination
Date.  Upon the Revolving Commitments being terminated, the Revolving
Loans having been paid and the Borrower providing cash collateral for the Letter
of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 in an amount equal to
105%, the Borrower may, upon at least 5 Business Days’ prior notice to the
Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably the unused
portions of the respective Term Commitments of the Term
Lenders.

    
      
         

      

      
        38

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    Section
2.5          Repayment of
Loans

     

    The
Borrower promises to repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Loans on
the Termination Date.

     

    Section
2.6          Evidence of
Debt

     

    Any
Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Promissory
Note.  In such event, the Borrower shall promptly prepare, execute and
deliver to such Lender a Promissory Note payable to the order of such Lender
(or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns)
substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit H-1 and Exhibit H-2, as
applicable.  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Promissory Note
and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to
Section 13.3) be represented by one or more Promissory Notes in such form
payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is
a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

     

    Section
2.7          Optional
Prepayments

     

    The
Borrower may voluntarily prepay the outstanding principal amount of the
Revolving Loans in whole or in part (without premium or penalty, except as set
forth herein).  Upon the Revolving Commitments being terminated, the
Revolving Loans having been paid and full and the Borrower providing cash
collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in
Section 9.3 in an
amount equal to 105%, the Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount
of the Term Loans in whole or in part.  Prepayments under this Section
2.7 may only be made upon notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later
than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the
case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
one Business Day prior thereto, in the case of CBFR Loans, which notice shall
specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of
Eurodollar Rate Loans or CBFR Loans.  If any prepayment of
any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made by the Borrower other than on the last day of
an Interest Period for such Loan, the Borrower shall also pay any amount owing
pursuant to Section 2.14(d).  Partial prepayments of Loans shall be in
an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof (or such
other amount that is equal to amount required to repay the Revolving Loans or
the Term Loans, as applicable, in full).

     

    Section
2.8          Mandatory
Prepayments

     

    (a)           Within
one Business Day of receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Net
Cash Proceeds arising (i) from an Asset Sale, Property Loss Event, Debt Issuance
or Equity Issuance, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans in an amount
equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds, provided that in the case of any Asset
Sale or Property Loss Event, if the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer to the effect that the Loan Parties
intend to apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof
specified in such certificate), within 150 days after receipt of such Net Cash
Proceeds, to acquire (or replace or rebuild) property (excluding Inventory) used
or useful in the business of the Loan Parties, and certifying that no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be
required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Cash Proceeds
specified in such certificate, provided however that to the extent
any such Net Cash Proceeds therefrom have not been so applied by the end of such
150 day period, at such time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal
to such Net Cash Proceeds that have not been so applied.  Any such
mandatory prepayment shall be applied in accordance with clause (b)
below.  The Borrower shall also prepay the Loans to the extent
required by clause (c)
below.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        39

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (b)           Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.12(g), any prepayments made by the Borrower
required to be applied in accordance with this clause (b) shall be applied
as follows:  first, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the
Revolving Loans until such Revolving Loans shall have been repaid in full; and
then, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans until such
Term Loans shall have been paid in full.  Repayments of Revolving
Loans required to be made pursuant to this clause (b) shall result in a
permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments.  Repayments of Term
Loans required to be made pursuant to this clause (b) may not be
reborrowed.

     

    (c)           If
at any time, the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Outstandings exceeds
the Maximum Credit at such time, the Borrower shall forthwith prepay the
Revolving Loans then outstanding in an amount equal to such
excess.  If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the
aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall provide cash
collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in
Section 9.3 in an
amount equal to 105% of such excess.  If any such excess remains after
repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans and cash
collateralization of the Letters of Credit as provided in the preceding
sentence, the Borrower shall forthwith prepay the Term Loans then outstanding in
an amount equal to such excess.

     

    (d)           The
Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of all
funds in the Cash Collateral Account and agrees that the Administrative Agent
shall, except as provided in Section 2.12(g) and clause (b) above, on each
Business Day apply payments in respect of any Obligations and all funds credited
to the Cash Collateral Account on such Business Day or the immediately preceding
Business Day (at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, whether or not
immediately available) as follows:  first, if such date is an
Interest Payment Date, to accrued but unpaid interest on the Revolving Loans,
ratably; second, to
repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans until such
Revolving Loans shall have been repaid in full (without, for the avoidance of
doubt, a permanent reduction in the Revolving Commitments); third, to be held as cash
collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in
Section 9.3 in an
amount equal to 105% of the aggregate Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts; fourth, to any other
Obligation owing to the Revolving Lenders then due and payable; and then as
otherwise directed by the Borrower so long as such direction does not violate
the terms of this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent agrees so to
apply such funds and the Borrower consents to such application.  If
(i) following such application or (ii) after all Letters of Credit shall have
expired or be fully drawn and all Commitments shall have been terminated, there
are no Loans outstanding and no other Obligations that are then due and payable,
then the Administrative Agent shall cause any remaining funds in the Cash
Collateral Account to be paid at the written direction of the Borrower (or, in
the absence of such direction, to the Borrower or another Person lawfully
entitled thereto).

     

    Section
2.9          Interest

     

    (a)           All
Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations (other than pursuant
to (i) Hedging Contracts, to the extent such Hedging Contracts provide for the
accrual of interest on unpaid obligations and (ii) Cash Management Obligations)
shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount
thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other
Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in
all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (b) below, as
follows:

     

    
      
         

      

      
        40

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (i)           if
a CBFR Loan or such other Obligation, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of
(A) the CB Floating Rate as in effect from time to time and (B) the Applicable
Margin; and

     

    (ii)          if
a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Adjusted
LIBO Rate determined for the applicable Interest Period and (B) the Applicable
Margin in effect from time to time during such Interest Period.

     

    (b)           Notwithstanding
the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere
herein, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and for
as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal
balance of all Loans and the amount of all other Obligations then due and
payable shall bear interest at a rate that is 2.0% percent per annum in excess
of the rate of interest applicable to such Loans or other Obligations from time
to time.  Such interest shall be payable on written
demand.

     

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

     

    Section
2.10        Conversion/Continuation
Option

     

    (a)           The
Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Rate Loans to CBFR
Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such
election no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day
preceding the proposed conversion date, provided that any such
conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans may only be made on the last day of an
Interest Period with respect thereto.  The Borrower may elect from
time to time to convert CBFR Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans by giving the
Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than
11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed
conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest
Period therefor), provided that no CBFR Loan
under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Rate Loan when
any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Majority Facility
Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in their reasonable
discretion not to permit such conversions.  Upon receipt of any such
notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender
thereof.

     

    (b)           Any
Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then
current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable
notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the
next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar
Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Majority Facility Lenders in
respect of such Facility have determined in their reasonable discretion not to
permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if the Borrower
shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or
if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such
Loans shall be automatically converted to CBFR Loans on the last day of such
then expiring Interest Period.  Upon receipt of any such notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender
thereof.

    Section
2.11        Fees

     

    (a)           The
Borrower agrees to pay in immediately available Dollars to each Revolving Lender
a commitment fee on the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Commitment of
such Revolving Lender exceeds such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of
the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and
(ii) the outstanding amount of the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations (the “
Revolving Unused Commitment Fee”) from
the Closing Date through the Revolving Termination Date at the Applicable Unused
Commitment Fee Rate, payable in arrears (x) on the first Business Day of each
calendar month, commencing on the first such Business Day following the Closing
Date and (y) on the Revolving Termination Date.

     

    (b)           The
Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in
Letters of Credit, at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in
effect with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility on the
average daily amount of such Lender's Letter of Credit Obligations during the
period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the
date on which such Lender's Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on
which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any Letter of Credit Obligations and
(ii) to the Issuer a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.20% per
annum on the average daily amount of Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts during the
period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the
date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there
ceases to be any Letter of Credit Obligations, as well as the Issuer’s standard
fees with respect to the Issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter
of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.  Participation fees
and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each calendar
quarter shall be payable on the first Business Day of each January, April, July
and October following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur
after the Closing Date, provided that all such fees
shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and
any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments
terminate shall be payable on written demand.  Any other fees payable
to the Issuer pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 15 days after
written demand (including documentation reasonably supporting such
request).  All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of
days elapsed.

     

    Section
2.12        Payments and
Computations

     

    (a)           The
Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses) not
later than noon (New York time) on the day when due, in the currency specified
herein (or, if no such currency is specified, in Dollars) to the Administrative
Agent at its address referred to in Section 13.7 in immediately
available funds without set-off or counterclaim.  The Administrative
Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available
funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the Lenders, in
accordance with the application of payments set forth in clause (f) or (g) below, as applicable;
provided, however, that
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14(b), Section 2.14(c), Section 2.15 or
Section 2.16, shall be paid only to the affected Lender or
Lenders.  Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00
a.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business
Day.

     

    (b)           All
interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360
days, except that interest computed by reference to the CB Floating Rate at
times when the CB Floating Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on
the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case
shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.  The
applicable CB Floating Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined
by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        42

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (c)           Each
payment by a Borrower of any Loan, Reimbursement Obligation (including interest
or fees in respect thereof) and each reimbursement of various costs, expenses or
other Obligation shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made, such
Letter of Credit issued or such cost, expense or other Obligation was
incurred.

     

    (d)           Whenever
any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business
Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the
computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if
such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurodollar
Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on
the immediately preceding Business Day.  All repayments of any Loans
shall be applied as follows:  first, to repay such Loans outstanding
as CBFR Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate
Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans having earlier expiring Eurodollar
Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Eurodollar
Interest Periods.

     

    (e)           Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower to the
Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due 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 Lender on such due date an amount equal to the
amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent that the Borrower
shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each
Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount
distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the rate applicable
to CBFR Loans) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such
Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative
Agent.

     

    (f)           Except
for payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent and applied
in accordance with the provisions of clause (g) below (or required
to be applied in accordance with Section 2.8), all payments and any other
amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the
Borrower shall be applied as follows:  first, to pay principal of,
and interest on, any portion of the Loans the Administrative Agent may have
advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any
Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such
Lender or the Borrower, second, to pay all other
Obligations then due and payable (without, for the avoidance of doubt, in the
case of any repayment of any Revolving Loan, a permanent reduction in the
Revolving Commitments) and third, as the Borrower so
designates.  Payments in respect of Revolving Loans received by the
Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Revolving Lender in accordance
with such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage; payments in respect of Term
Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Term
Lender in accordance with such Term Lender’s Term Percentage and all payments of
fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be
allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuers as are entitled thereto and, for
such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective
Aggregate Exposure Percentage.

     

    (g)           The
Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any
and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and
agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8 and clause (f) above, the
Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the written direction of the
Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section
9.2 shall, apply
all payments in respect of any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any Cash
Collateral Account and all other proceeds of Collateral in the following
order:

     

    
      
         

      

      
        43

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (i)     
     first, to pay interest on and then
principal of any portion of the Revolving Loans that the Administrative Agent
may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has
not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower;

     

    (ii)          second, to pay Obligations in
respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the
Administrative Agent;

     

    (iii)         third, to pay Obligations in
respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and
the Issuers;

     

    (iv)         fourth, to pay Obligations in
respect of any fees then due to the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the
Lenders and the Issuers;

     

    (v)        
fifth, to pay interest then due
and payable in respect of the Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations
(including interest that would have accrued but for a bankruptcy proceeding
involving the Borrower);

     

    (vi)       
sixth, to pay or prepay principal
amounts on the Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, and to provide
cash collateral for outstanding Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts in the manner
described in Section 9.3, ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such
Revolving Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Letter of Credit Undrawn
Amounts;

     

    (vii)       seventh,
to pay Obligations in respect of Cash Management Obligations and Hedging
Contracts in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2,500,000, ratably;

     

    (viii)      eighth, to pay interest then due
and payable in respect of the Term Loans (including interest that would have
accrued but for a bankruptcy proceeding involving the Borrower);

     

    (ix)        ninth, to pay or prepay principal
amounts on the Term Loans;

     

    (x)         tenth,
to pay all other Obligations in respect of Cash Management Obligations
and Hedging Contracts, ratably;

     

    (xi)        eleventh, to the ratable payment of
all other Obligations; and

     

    (xii)       twelfth, to the payment of the
surplus, if any, to the Borrower;

     

    provided, however, that if
sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of
any Obligation described in any of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v),
(vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x) and (xi) above the available funds being
applied with respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such
clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligation ratably, based on
the proportion of the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s or Issuer’s
interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses;
provided, however, that
payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Revolving Lenders shall be
allocated first to repay Protective Advances pro rata until such Protective
Advances are repaid in full and then to repay the Revolving Loans or to provide
cash collateral for outstanding Letters of Credit.  The order of
priority set forth in clauses
(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi) and
(xii) above may at any time and from time to time be changed pursuant to
the terms of Section 13.1 without necessity of notice to or consent of or
approval by the Borrower, any Secured Party that is not a Lender or Issuer or by
any other Person that is not a Lender or Issuer.

    
      
         

      

      
        44

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (h)           At
the option of the Administrative Agent, (i) upon one Business Day prior written
notice to the Borrower, fees, expenses and other sums (other than principal), in
each case, then due and payable in respect of the Revolving Loans may be paid
from the proceeds of Revolving Loans and (ii) Reimbursement Obligations,
interest in respect of the Revolving Loans and Protective Advances may be paid
from the proceeds of Revolving Loans.  The Borrower hereby authorizes
the Revolving Lenders to make such Revolving Loans pursuant to Section
2.2(a) from time
to time in the amounts of any and all principal payable with respect to the
Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees, expenses and other sums payable in
respect of the Revolving Loans and Protective Advances, and further authorizes
the Administrative Agent to give the Lenders notice of any Revolving Borrowing
with respect to such Revolving Loans and to distribute the proceeds of such
Revolving Loans to pay such amounts.  The Borrower agrees that all
such Revolving Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by it
(irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 3.3, which
conditions the Revolving Lenders irrevocably waive) and directs that all
proceeds thereof shall be used to pay such amounts.

     

    Section
2.13        Alternate Rate of
Interest.

     

    If prior
to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar
Borrowing:

     

    (a)           the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest
Period; or

     

    (b)           the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Requisite Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO
Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or
maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such
Interest Period;

     

    then the
Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders
by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be
ineffective, and (ii) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Revolving Borrowing
for a Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Borrowing shall be made as an CBFR
Borrowing.

     

    Section
2.14        Special Provisions Governing
Eurodollar Rate Loans

     

    (a)           Determination of Interest
Rate

     

    The
Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be
determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in
the definition of “Adjusted
LIBO Rate.”  The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be
presumed to be correct absent manifest error and shall be binding on the
Borrower.

    
      
         

      

      
        45

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (b)           Increased Costs

     

    If at any
time any Lender reasonably determines in good faith that the introduction of, or
any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule,
regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of
reserve requirements included in determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the
compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of
law) in each case after the Closing Date, shall have the effect of increasing
the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
any Eurodollar Rate Loans, then the Borrower shall upon 10 days of written
demand (including documentation reasonably supporting such request) by such
Lender (with a copy of such written demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost.  A
certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error.

     

    (c)           Illegality

     

    Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender reasonably determines in
good faith that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation
of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order in each case after
the Closing Date shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other
Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make
Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans,
then, on written notice thereof and written demand therefor by such Lender to
the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender
to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert CBFR Loans into
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a CBFR
Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if the
affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall
immediately convert each such Loan into a CBFR Loan.  If, at any time
after a Lender gives notice under this clause (d), such Lender determines that
it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give
notice of that determination to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and
the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other
Lender.  The Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s
obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be
restored.

     

    (d)           Breakage Costs

     

    In
addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section
2.9, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, within 10 days’ of written
demand (including documentation reasonably supporting such request), for all
losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by
reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by
such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans to the
Borrower or that would have been incurred if the Lender had match-funded such
Loans in such manner, but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the
relevant Loans or other consequential damages) that such Lender may sustain (i)
if for any reason (other than solely by reason of such Lender being a
Non-Funding Lender) a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Borrowing
notice or notice given in connection with a conversion or continuation of a Loan
given by the Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for Revolving Borrowing
or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence
after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.10, (ii) if for any reason
any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid (including mandatorily pursuant to Section
2.8) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii)
as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a CBFR
Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above or (iv) as a
consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when
required by the terms hereof.  The Lender making demand for such
compensation shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a
written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this
statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to such
Lender, absent manifest error.

    
      
         

      

      
        46

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    The
agreements contained in this Section 2.14 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder;
provided, however, that
the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to clauses (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 2.14 for any such increased
cost or reduction incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender
demands, or notifies the Borrower of its intention to demand, compensation
therefor; provided,
that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is
retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

     

    Section
2.15        Capital
Adequacy

     

    If at any
time any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of, or any change in or in the
interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order
after the Closing Date regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such
law, treaty, rule, regulation or order enacted after the Closing Date or (c)
compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or
other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) enacted
after the Closing Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
such Lender’s (or any corporation controlling such Lender’s) capital as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of
Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have
achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon
demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender,
additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such
reduction.  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes absent manifest error.

     

    The
agreements contained in this Section 2.15 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder;
provided, however, that
the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section 2.15 for
any such increased cost or reduction incurred more than 180 days prior to the
date that such Lender demands, or notifies the Borrower of its intention to
demand, compensation therefor; provided, that, if the
circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive,
then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof.

    Section
2.16        Taxes

     

    (a)           Except
as otherwise provided in this Section 2.16, any and all payments by or on behalf
of any Loan Party under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction or withholding for or on account of any and all present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto (including any interest, additions to tax or
penalties applicable thereto), excluding in the case of the Administrative
Agent, each Lender or each Issuer, taxes measured by its net income and
franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on it as a result
of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent, such Lender
or such Issuer (as the case may be) and the jurisdiction of the Governmental
Authority imposing such tax or any taxing authority thereof or therein, other
than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or such Issuer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or
received a payment under, or enforced, any Loan Document (all such non-excluded
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being
hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).  If any
Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum
payable under any Loan Document to any Lender, any Issuer or the Administrative
Agent, as determined in good faith by the applicable withholding agent, (i) the
sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as may be necessary
so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable
to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16), such Lender, such Issuer or
the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant
Loan Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Loan Party shall pay
the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law and (iv) the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent evidence of such payment in accordance with Section
2.16(d) below;
provided, however, that the Borrower
shall not be required to increase any sum payable to any Lender with respect to
any Taxes (y) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the
requirements of Section 2.16 (f), or (z) that are
United States withholding taxes payable with respect to payments under the Loan
Documents under laws (including any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect on
the Closing Date (or, in the case of (A) an Eligible Assignee, the date of the
Assignment and Acceptance, (B) a successor Administrative Agent, the date of the
appointment of such Administrative Agent, and (C) a successor Issuer, the date
such Issuer becomes an Issuer) applicable to such Lender, such Issuer or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be (each such date, the “Applicable
Date”), except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any), a predecessor
Administrative Agent or a predecessor Issuer, as the case may be, was entitled,
on the Applicable Date, to receive additional sums payable with respect to such
Taxes under this Section 2.16 or that such Taxes are
payable as a result of any change in such laws occurring after the Applicable
Date.

     

    (b)          In
addition, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law any present or future stamp or documentary taxes
or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies of the United
States or any political subdivision thereof or any foreign jurisdiction, and all
liabilities with respect thereto (including any interest, additions to tax or
penalties applicable thereto), in each case arising from any payment made under
any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration
of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

     

    (c)           The
Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Lender, each Issuer
and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes
(including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts
payable under this Section 2.16) paid or payable by such Lender, such Issuer or
the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for
penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto
(including as a result of any Loan Party’s failure to pay such Taxes or Other
Taxes when due to the relevant Governmental Authority or to furnish the required
receipts under Section 2.16(d)), whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally asserted.  This indemnification shall be made
within 30 days from the date such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative
Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand (including documentation
reasonably supporting such request) therefor.

     

    (d)          Within
30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party,
the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred
to in Section 13.7, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing
payment thereof.

     

    (e)                   Without
prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the
agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the
payment in full of the Obligations, provided, however, that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section
2.16 for any taxes incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such
Lender demands, or notifies the borrower of its intention to demand,
compensation therefor; provided, that, it the
circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive,
then such 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof.

    (f)           (i)
Prior to the Closing Date in the case of each Non-U.S. Lender that is a
signatory hereto, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to
which it becomes a Lender or on the date a successor Issuer becomes an Issuer or
on the date a successor Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent,
as the case may be, in the case of each other Non-U.S. Lender, on or before the
date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or
certification previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, and from time to time thereafter if requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled at such time to an
exemption from United States withholding tax, or that is subject to such tax at
a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall provide the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower with two properly completed and duly executed originals
of each of the following, as applicable: (v) Form W-8IMY (together with any
applicable underlying IRS forms, documentation or certificates) or successor
form, (w) Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the
income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business) or any successor
form, (x) Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S.
withholding tax under an income tax treaty) or any successor form, (y) in the
case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of
the Code, a Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the
portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit F or (z) any other
applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS or any applicable
law certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lender’s entitlement to such exemption from
United States withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be
made to such Non-U.S. Lender under the Loan Documents.  Unless the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents
satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for
a Non-U.S. Lender are not subject to United States withholding tax or are
subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Loan
Parties and the Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts required to be
withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable
statutory rate.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
2.16(f) a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to
this Section 2.16 that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to
deliver.

     

    (ii)          Prior
to the Closing Date in the case of each U.S. Lender that is a signatory hereto,
and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a
Lender, or on the date a successor Issuer becomes an Issuer or on the date a
successor Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent, as the case may
be, in the case of each other U.S. Lender, on or before the date that any such
form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, after the occurrence of any
event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously
delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and from time to
time thereafter if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each
U.S. Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two
completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to
an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor
form.  Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(f), a U.S. Lender
shall not include a Lender, an Issuer or an Administrative Agent that may be
treated as an exempt recipient based on the indicators described in Treasury
Regulation section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii).

     

    
      
         

      

      
        49

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (g)           Any
Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section
2.16 shall, if
requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with
its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction if the
making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any
such additional amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would
not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to
such Lender; provided,
that, nothing in this
Section 2.16(g) shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower
or any other Loan Party or the rights of any Lender under this Section
2.16.

     

    (h)           Each
Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for the full amount of any
taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or
similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to
such Lender and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together
with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good
faith.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

     

    Section
2.17        Substitution of
Lenders

     

    (a)           In
the event that (i)(A) any Lender makes a claim under Section 2.14(b) or Section 2.15, (B) it
becomes illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate
Loan and such Lender notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14(c), (C) any
Loan Party is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.16 that is attributable to
a particular Lender or (D) any Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender and (ii) in
the case of clause
(i)(A) above, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which
such claim is made, the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under
this Agreement with respect to its Loans materially exceeds the effective
average annual rate of interest payable to the Requisite Lenders under this
Agreement (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), the
Borrower may substitute any Lender and any other Eligible Assignee (a “Substitute Institution”) for
such Affected Lender hereunder, after delivery of a written notice (a “Substitution Notice”) by the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender within a reasonable
time (in any case not to exceed 90 days) following the occurrence of any of the
events described in clause
(i) above that the Borrower intends to make such substitution; provided, however, that, if
more than one Lender claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment
arising from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the
Borrower within 30 days of each other, then the Borrower may substitute all, but
not (except to the extent the Borrower has already substituted one of such
Affected Lenders before the Borrower’s receipt of the other Affected Lenders’
claim) less than all, Lenders making such claims.

     

    (b)           If
the Substitution Notice was properly issued under this Section 2.17, the
Affected Lender shall sell, and the Substitute Institution shall purchase, all
rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents, and the
Substitute Institution shall assume, and the Affected Lender shall be relieved
of, the Affected Lender’s Revolving Commitments and all other prior unperformed
obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than in
respect of any damages (other than exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent
permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed
obligations).  Such purchase and sale (and the corresponding
assignment of all rights and claims hereunder) shall be recorded in the Register
maintained by the Administrative Agent and shall be effective on (and not
earlier than) the later of (i) the receipt by the Affected Lender of its
Revolving Percentage of the Revolving Outstandings or Term Percentage of Term
Loans, as applicable, together with any other Obligations owing to it, (ii) the
receipt by the Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower whereby the Substitute
Institution shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (iii) the payment in
full to the Affected Lender in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and expenses
and indemnities accrued pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents and unpaid
through such effective date.  Upon the effectiveness of such sale,
purchase and assumption, the Substitute Institution shall become a “Lender” hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement having a Commitment in the amount of such Affected
Lender’s Commitment assumed by it and such Commitment of the Affected Lender
shall be terminated; provided,
however, that all indemnities under the Loan Documents shall continue in
favor of such Affected Lender.

    
      
         

      

      
        50

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (c)           Each
Lender agrees that, if it becomes an Affected Lender and its rights and claims
are assigned hereunder to a Substitute Institution pursuant to this Section
2.17, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Acceptance to evidence such assignment, together with any Promissory Note (if
such Loans are evidenced by a Promissory Note) evidencing the Loans subject to
such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the
failure of any Affected Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not
render such assignment invalid.

     

    Section
2.18        Defaulting
Lenders.

     

    Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Lender becomes
a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as
such Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender if any Letter of Credit Obligations
exist at the time a Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the
Borrower shall within 15 Business Days (or such longer period as the
Administrative Agent and relevant Issuer may agree to) following written notice
by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (A) cash collateralize such
Defaulting Lender’s share of the Letter of Credit Obligations in accordance with
the procedures set forth in Section 9.3 for so long as such
Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding, or (B) enter into other
arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and
the Borrower (it being understood and agreed that once a Revolving Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender and has satisfied all of its obligations under this
Agreement, the cash collateral referenced in clause (A) above of this
Section 2.18 shall
be returned promptly to the Borrower).

     

    The
rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.18 are in addition to
other rights and remedies that Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer
and the non-Defaulting Lenders may have against such Defaulting
Lender.  The arrangements permitted or required by this Section
2.18 shall be
permitted under this Agreement, notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or
otherwise.

    Section
2.19        Priority and
Liens.

     

    The
Debtors hereby covenant, represent and warrant that, upon entry of the Interim
Order (and the Final Order, as applicable), the Obligations of the Debtors
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, each Cash Management Document,
each Hedging Contract and the obligations of the Debtors pursuant to Article XI,
(i) pursuant to Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall at all times
constitute allowed Superpriority Claims, (ii) pursuant to Section 364(c)(2) of
the Bankruptcy Code, shall be secured by a perfected first priority Lien on all
Collateral that is otherwise not encumbered by a valid and perfected Lien as of
the Petition Date or a valid Lien perfected (but not granted) thereafter to the
extent such post-Petition Date perfection in respect of a pre-Petition Date
claim is expressly permitted under Section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and
(iii) pursuant to Section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be secured by
a perfected junior Lien upon all Collateral that is subject to valid, perfected
and non-avoidable Liens in existence on the Petition Date or valid Liens
perfected (but not granted) thereafter to the extent such post-Petition Date
perfection in respect of a pre-Petition Date claim is expressly permitted under
Section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, subject, in each case, only to (x) in the
event of the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
payment of allowed and unpaid professional fees and disbursements (the “Professional Fees”) incurred
at any time after the first business day following delivery of written notice
from the Administrative Agent to the U.S. Trustee and each of the lead counsel
for the Debtors and the Committee (as defined below) (the “Trigger Notice”) of the
occurrence of an Event of Default (to the extent allowed by the Bankruptcy Court
at any time) by the Loan Parties and any statutory committees appointed in the
Cases (each a “Committee”) in an aggregate
amount not in excess of $1,500,000 (the “Carve Out Cap”), (y) all
unpaid Professional Fees incurred by the Loan Parties and any Committee at any
time on or prior to the first business day following delivery of the Trigger
Notice to the extent allowed by the Bankruptcy Court at any time, and the
payment of fees pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1930 and (z) fees and expenses up to
$250,000 incurred by a trustee under Section 726(b) of the Bankruptcy Code
(without regard to the notice set forth in (x) or (y) above) (the amounts
described in clauses (x), (y)
and (z)
collectively, the “Carve
Out”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Carve Out shall not
be available to pay any professional fees and expenses incurred in connection
with the initiation or prosecution of any claims, causes of action, adversary
proceedings or other litigation against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or
the administrative agent under the Prepetition Credit Agreement, (ii) so long as
an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, the Debtors shall
be permitted to pay compensation and reimbursement of expenses allowed and
payable under 11 U.S.C. § 330 and § 331, as the same may be due and payable, and
the same shall not reduce the Carve Out and (iii) the Carve Out Cap shall not be
reduced by the payment of Professional Fees incurred on or prior to the first
business day following delivery of a Trigger Notice without regard to when such
amounts are allowed by the Bankruptcy Court.  Upon the commencement of a
liquidation, the Debtors are directed to deposit an amount equal to the unpaid
Professional Fees, including the Carve Out Cap, prior to making any
distributions to creditors in a segregated account solely for payment of
Professional Fees that are within the Carve Out. Nothing herein shall be
construed as a waiver of the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to
object to the allowance of any Professional Fees and disbursements.

     

    As to all
Collateral, including without limitation, all cash, Cash Equivalents and Real
Property the title to which is held by any Debtor, or the possession of which is
held by any Debtor in the form of a leasehold interest, each Debtor hereby
grants a security interest in, hypothecates, mortgages, pledges to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the other holders of
the Obligations, all of the right, title and interest of the Borrower and such
Debtor in all of such Collateral, including without limitation, all cash, Cash
Equivalents and owned Real Property and in all such leasehold interests,
together in each case with all of the right, title and interest of the Borrower
and such Debtor in and to all buildings, improvements, and fixtures related
thereto, any lease or sublease thereof, all general intangibles relating thereto
and all proceeds thereof.  The Borrower and each Debtor acknowledges
that, pursuant to the Orders, the Liens granted in favor of the Administrative
Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) in all of the Collateral shall be perfected
without the recordation of any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements,
notices of Lien or other instruments of mortgage or assignment.  The
Borrower and each Guarantor further agrees that (a) the Administrative Agent
shall have the rights and remedies set forth in Article IX and Article XII and
the Orders in respect of the Collateral and (b) if requested by the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each of the other Debtors shall enter
into separate security agreements, pledge agreements and fee mortgages with
respect to such Collateral on terms reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.

     

    Section
2.20        Payment of
Obligations. Upon the
maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of any of the Obligations under
this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, each Cash Management Document
and each Hedging Contract, the Lenders shall be entitled to immediate payment of
such Obligations without further application to or order of the Bankruptcy
Court.

    Section

Claims.

     

    Each
Debtor agrees that to the extent its Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification and fees obligations not yet due and owing) hereunder are not
satisfied in full, (a) its Obligations arising hereunder shall not be discharged
by the entry of a Confirmation Order (and each Debtor, pursuant to Section
1141(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, hereby waives any such discharge) and (b) the
Superpriority Claim granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant
to the Orders and described in Section 2.19 and the Liens granted to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the Orders and described in Section 2.19 shall
not be affected in any manner by the entry of a Confirmation Order.

     

    Section
2.22        Conflicts.

     

    To the
extent of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and provisions
contained in the Interim Order (or the Final Order, as applicable), the
provisions of the applicable Order shall govern in all respects.

of the Terms Loans, in each case as May 3, 2011;

     

    (c)           the

    (e)           no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of May 3,
2011; and

     

    (f)           the
representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Loan Party
contained in Article IV or any other Loan Document shall be true and correct in
all material respects on and as of May 3, 2011 and shall be true and correct in
all material respects on and as of May 3, 2011 with the same effect as though

respects as of such earlier date.

     

    The
Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower and the Lenders upon the

Subsidiary, other than the Loan Documents.

     

    Section
4.4           Financial

stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the
fiscal years then ended, certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and the
unaudited Consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at
March 31, 2010, and the related unaudited Consolidated statements of
income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
for the twelve months then ended, copies of which have been furnished to each
Lender, fairly present in all material respects, subject, in the case of said
balance sheet as at March 31, 2010, and said statements of income,
stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the twelve months then ended, to the
absence of footnote disclosure and normal year-end audit adjustments, the
Consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such
dates and the Consolidated results of the operations of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries for the periods ended on such dates, all in conformity with
GAAP.

     

    (b)           None
of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has any material obligation,
contingent liability or liability for taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward
or long-term commitment that is not reflected in the Financial Statements
referred to in clause (a)
above or in the notes thereto and not otherwise permitted by this
Agreement.

    (c)           The
Budget and Cash Flow Forecast have each been prepared by the Borrower in light
of the past operations of its business.  The Budget and Cash Flow
Forecast are each based upon estimates and assumptions stated therein, all of
which the Borrower believes to be reasonable and fair in light of current
conditions and current facts known to the Borrower and, as of the Closing Date,
reflect the Borrower’s good faith and reasonable estimates of the future
financial performance of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and of the other
information projected therein for the periods set forth
therein.  While the assumptions and estimates upon which the Budget
and Cash Flow Forecast are based were made in good faith and on the basis of
information and assumptions that the Borrower believed to be reasonable at the
time made, the Lenders, the Issuers and the Administrative Agent understand,
acknowledge and agree that such assumptions and estimates as they relate to
future events are not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the
period or periods covered by such assumptions and estimates may differ from the
Budget and Cash Flow Forecast, respectively, by a material amount.

its Tax Affiliates (collectively, the “Tax Returns”) have been filed
with the appropriate Governmental Authorities in all jurisdictions in which such
Tax Returns are required to be filed, all such Tax Returns are true, complete
and correct in all material respects, and all taxes, charges and other
impositions reflected therein or otherwise due and payable have been paid prior
to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss may be
added thereto for non-payment thereof except (i) where contested in good faith
and by appropriate proceedings if adequate reserves therefor have been
established on the books of the Borrower or such Tax Affiliate in conformity
with GAAP or (ii) to the extent the aggregate liability of the Borrower or such
Tax Affiliate does not exceed $1,000,000 at any time or (iii) to the extent
stayed pursuant to the Cases.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7, no
Tax Return is under audit or examination by any Governmental Authority and no
notice of such an audit or examination or any assertion of any claim for Taxes
has been given or made by any Governmental Authority, in each case which would
have a Material Adverse Effect.  Proper and accurate amounts have been
withheld by the Borrower and each of its Tax Affiliates from their respective
employees for all periods in compliance in all material respects with the tax,
social security and unemployment withholding provisions of applicable
Requirements of Law and such withholdings have been timely paid to the
respective Governmental Authorities.  Except as set forth on Schedule
4.7, as of the Closing Date, no tax lien has been filed.

     

    (b)           Except
as set forth on Schedule 4.7, as of the Closing Date, in the last two years,

the IRS or any other Governmental Authority any agreement or other document
extending, or having the effect of extending, the period for the filing of any
Tax Return or the assessment or collection of any charges, (ii) incurred any
obligation under any tax sharing agreement or arrangement other than those of
which the Administrative Agent has received a copy prior to the Closing Date or

group of which the Borrower (or its Tax Affiliate) is the common
parent.

faith based on assumptions and estimates believed to be reasonable at the time
made, and the Lenders, the Issuers and the Administrative Agent understand,
acknowledge and agree that such assumptions and estimates as they relate to
future events are not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the

be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally and by principles of equity) security

necessary, and, if applicable, the taking of actions or making of filings with
respect to Intellectual Property registrations or applications issued or
pending, and, in the case of any real property, filing of the Mortgages as
necessary, such Liens constitute perfected and continuing liens on such
Collateral, securing the applicable obligations described in such Loan
Documents, enforceable (except, as it relates to any Non-Filer, as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by
principles of equity) against the applicable Loan Party and all third parties,
and having priority over all other Liens on such Collateral, except in the case
of Liens permitted pursuant to Section 8.2 hereunder, to the
extent such Liens would have priority over the Liens in favor of the

9.3          Actions in
Respect of Letters of Credit

       

      At any
time (i) upon the Revolving Termination Date or (ii) after the Revolving
Termination Date when the aggregate funds on deposit in Cash Collateral Accounts
shall be less than 105% of the Letter of Credit Obligations, the Borrower shall
pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the
Administrative Agent’s office referred to in Section 13.7, for deposit in a Cash
Collateral Account, the amount required to that, after such payment, the
aggregate funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Accounts equals or exceeds
105% of the sum of all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations.  The
Administrative Agent may, from time to time after funds are deposited in any
Cash Collateral Account, apply funds then held in such Cash Collateral Account
to the payment of any amounts, in accordance with Section 2.8(d) and Section 2.12(g), as
shall have become or shall become due and payable by the
Borrower.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly give written notice
of any such application; provided, however, that the
failure to give such written notice shall not invalidate any such
application.

      The
Administrative Agent

       

      (a)           Each
of the Lenders and the Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative
Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions
on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise
such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the
Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto.

      
        
           

        

        
          96

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (b)           The
bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights
and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its
Related Parties may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in
any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or
other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent
hereunder.

       

      (c)           The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be
subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall
not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the
Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing
as directed by the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary under the terms of this Agreement), and (c) except
as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not
have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose,
any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is
communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any
of its Related Parties in any capacity.  The Administrative Agent
shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or
at the request of the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of
the Lenders as shall be necessary under the terms of this Agreement) or in the
absence of its own (or its Affiliates’, agents’, officers’, directors’ or
advisors’) gross negligence or wilful misconduct.  The Administrative
Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until
written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a
Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any
duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in
connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of
any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any
Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document,
(v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the
existence of the Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set
forth in Article III or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative
Agent.

       

      (d)           The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing reasonably believed by it in
good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper
Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement
made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it in good faith to
be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who
may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or
experts.

       

      (e)           The
Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights
and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent
may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through
their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of the
preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to
their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative
Agent.

      (f)           Subject
to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as
provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by
notifying the Lenders, the Issuer and the Borrower.  Upon any such
resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, with the consent (not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower (provided that such consent
shall not be required if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing) to appoint a successor.  If no successor shall have been
so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders and the Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be
a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank.  Upon
the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and
the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a
successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor.  After the Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder,
the provisions of this Article X, Section 2.16(c) and Section 13.2 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its
sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative
Agent.

       

      (g)           Each
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent
or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from
time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or
not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder.

       

      (h)           Each
Lender hereby agrees that (i) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by
or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent (A)
makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness
or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any
inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (B) shall not be
liable for any information contained in any Report, (iii) the Reports are not
comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field
examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties
and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as
on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Administrative
Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports,
(iv) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use,
not share the Report with any other Person except as otherwise permitted
pursuant to this Agreement and (v) without limiting the generality of any other
indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and
protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such
other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions,
proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable
attorney fees) incurred by as the direct or indirect result of any third parties
who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying
Lender.

      Section
11.1        Guarantee

       

      (a)           Each
of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and
irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of
the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns
permitted hereunder, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the
Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise)
of the Obligations.

       

      (b)           Anything
herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the
maximum liability of each Guarantor under this Section 11.1 and under the other
Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which is permitted under
applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of
debtors.

       

      (c)           Each
Guarantor agrees to the extent permitted by applicable law that the Obligations
may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such
Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Article XI
or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
hereunder.

       

      (d)           The
guarantee contained in this Article XI shall remain in full force and effect
until all the Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the
guarantee contained in this Article XI shall have been satisfied by payment in
full (other than contingent obligations not then due and owing) and the
Commitments shall be terminated.

       

      (e)           No
payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any
other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other
Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or
application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of
the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect
the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such
payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the
Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect
of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum
liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations (other than
contingent obligations not then due and owing) are paid in full and the
Commitments are terminated.

       

      Section
11.2        Right of Contribution 
Each
Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more
than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall
be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other
Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such
payment.  Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to
the terms and conditions of Section 11.3.  The provisions of this
Section 11.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any
Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each Guarantor shall
remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full amount
guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

      Section
11.3        No Subrogation.

       

      Notwithstanding
any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of
funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, no Guarantor
shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any
collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor
seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower
or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder,
until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the
Borrower on account of the Obligations (other than contingent obligations not
then due and owing) are paid in full and the Commitments are
terminated.  If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account
of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations (other than
contingent obligations not then due and owing) shall not have been paid in full,
such amount shall be held by such Guarantor for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such
Guarantor, and shall, promptly upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to
the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly
indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be
applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

       

      Section
11.4        Amendments, etc. with
Respect to the Obligations.

       

      To the
extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor shall remain obligated
hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any
Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand
for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any of
the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other
Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee
therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in
whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated,
compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents
executed and delivered in connection herewith or therewith may be amended,
modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative
Agent (or the Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem
advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of
offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the
payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or
released.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect,
secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the
Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Article XI or any property
subject thereto.

      Section
11.5        Guarantee Absolute and
Unconditional.

       

      To the
extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any and all notice of
the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice
of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the
guarantee contained in this Article XI or acceptance of the guarantee contained
in this Article XI; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be
deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended,
amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article XI;
and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one
hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise
shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon
the guarantee contained in this Article XI.  To the extent permitted
by applicable law, each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand
for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any
of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations.  Each Guarantor
understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Article XI shall be
construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment
without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security
therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or
from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any
defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or
performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the
Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or
(c) any other circumstance (other than payment or performance) whatsoever (with
or without notice to or knowledge of such Borrower or such Guarantor) which
constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal
discharge of such Borrower for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the
guarantee contained in this Article XI, in bankruptcy or in any other
instance.  When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its
rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or
any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or
otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower,
any other Guarantor, or any other Person or against any collateral security or
guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and
any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand,
to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the
Borrower, any other Guarantor, or any other Person or to realize upon any such
collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any
release of the  Borrower, any other Guarantor, or any other Person or
any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve
any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or
affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a
matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any
Guarantor.  For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the
commencement and continuance of legal proceedings relating to this guarantee or
the Obligations.

       

      Section
11.6        Reinstatement

       

      The
guarantee contained in this Article XI shall continue to be effective, or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Loan Party, or upon or as a
result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or
trustee or similar officer for, any Loan Party or any substantial part of its
property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been
made.

       

      Section
11.7        Payments.

       

      Each
Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the
Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim.

Collateral Upon Default.

       

      Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and after notice
of such Event of Default, if required under the Orders), to the extent any such
action is permitted by the Interim Order (or the Final Order, as applicable) or
Article XI, the Administrative Agent, in addition to any rights now or hereafter
existing under applicable law, and without application to or order of the
Bankruptcy Court, shall have all rights as a secured creditor under the Uniform
Commercial Code in all relevant jurisdictions and may, and, at the request of
the Majority Facility Lenders for either the Revolving Facility or the Term
Facility, shall:

      (a)           personally,
or by agents or attorneys, immediately retake possession of the Collateral or
any part thereof, from the Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other Person who then
has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law (but
subject to any Requirements of Law), and for that purpose may enter upon the
Borrower’s, or any Guarantor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located
and remove the same and use in connection with such removal any and all
services, supplies, aids and other facilities of the Borrower, or such
Guarantor; 

       

      (b)           instruct
the obligor or obligors on any agreements, instrument or other obligation
constituting the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such
instrument or agreement directly to any Cash Collateral Account;

       

      (c)           sell,
assign or otherwise liquidate, or direct any Loan Party to sell, assign or
otherwise liquidate, any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof in
accordance with Section 12.2, and take possession of the proceeds of any such
sale, assignment or liquidation; and

       

      (d)           take
possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing the Borrower and
any Guarantor in writing to deliver the same to the Administrative Agent at any
place or places designated by the Administrative Agent, in which event the
Borrower and such Guarantor shall at its own expense:

       

      (i)           forthwith
cause the same to be moved to the place or places so designated by the
Administrative Agent and there delivered to the Administrative
Agent,

       

      (ii)          store
and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Administrative Agent at such place
or places pending further action by the Administrative Agent as provided in
Section 12.2, and

       

      (iii)         while
the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such guards and maintenance
services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain
them in satisfactory condition;

       

      it being
understood that the Borrower’s and each Guarantor’s obligation so to deliver the
Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon
application to the Bankruptcy Court, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to a decree requiring specific performance by the Borrower or such Guarantor of
such obligation.

       

      Section
12.2        Remedies; Disposition of the
Collateral.

       

      Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and after notice
of such Event of Default, if required under the Orders), and to the extent
permitted by the Interim Order (or the Final Order, as applicable) or Article
XI, without application to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, any Collateral
repossessed by the Administrative Agent under or pursuant to Section 12.1 or the
Interim Order (or the Final Order, as applicable) or any other Loan Document,
and any other Collateral whether or not so repossessed by the Administrative
Agent, may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more
contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place
of sale the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or
times, at such place or places and on commercially reasonable terms, in
compliance with any Requirements of Law.  Any of the Collateral may be
sold, leased or otherwise disposed of, in the condition in which the same
existed when taken by the Administrative Agent or after any overhaul or repair
which the Administrative Agent shall determine to be commercially
reasonable.  Any such disposition which shall be a private sale or
other private proceeding permitted by applicable Requirements of Law shall be
made upon not less than 10 days’ written notice to the Borrower specifying the
time at which such disposition is to be made and the intended sale price or
other consideration therefor, and shall be subject, for the 10 days after the
giving of such notice, to the right of the Borrower or any nominee of the
Borrower to acquire the Collateral involved at a price or for such other
consideration at least equal to the intended sale price or other consideration
so specified.  Any such disposition which shall be a public sale
permitted by applicable Requirements of Law shall be made upon not less than 10
days’ written notice to the Borrower specifying the time and place of such sale
and, in the absence of applicable Requirement of Law, shall be by public auction
(which may, at the Administrative Agent’s option, be subject to reserve), after
publication of notice of such auction not less than 10 days prior thereto in USA
Today and The Wall Street Journal, National Edition.  Subject to
Section 12.4, to the extent permitted by any such Requirement of Law, the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or any Lender may bid for and
become the purchaser of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for sale in
accordance with this Section 12.2 without accountability to the Borrower or any
Guarantor.  If, under mandatory Requirements of Law, the
Administrative Agent shall be required to make disposition of the Collateral
within a period of time which does not permit the giving of notice to the
Borrower as hereinabove specified, the Administrative Agent need give the
Borrower only such notice of disposition as shall be reasonably
practicable.

anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
(i) if the Administrative Agent takes action under Article XI upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or at any time on
or after the Termination Date, any payment by any Loan Party on account of
principal of, interest on and fees with respect to the Loans, or any Guaranty
Obligation with respect thereto, and any proceeds arising out of any realization
(including after foreclosure) upon the Collateral shall be applied in the order
set forth in Section 2.12(g) and (ii) any payments or distributions of any kind
or character, whether in cash, property or securities, made by any Loan Party or
otherwise in a manner inconsistent with clause (i) of this Section
12.3(a) shall be held in trust and paid over or delivered to the Administrative
Agent so that the priorities and requirements set forth in such clause (i) are
satisfied.

       

      (b)           It
is understood that the Loan Parties shall remain liable to the extent of any
deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the amount
of the Obligations.

       

      Section
12.4        WAIVER OF

INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY
PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT WHICH THE BORROWER, OR ANY
GUARANTOR WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER ANY REQUIREMENT OF LAW;

       

      (b)           ALL
DAMAGES OCCASIONED BY SUCH TAKING OF POSSESSION EXCEPT ANY DAMAGES WHICH ARE THE
DIRECT RESULT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OR ANY LENDER’S BAD FAITH, GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT;

      
        
           

        

        
          103

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (c)           ALL
OTHER REQUIREMENTS TO THE TIME, PLACE AND TERMS OF SALE OR OTHER REQUIREMENTS
WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RIGHTS HEREUNDER;
AND

       

      (d)           ALL
RIGHTS OF REDEMPTION, APPRAISEMENT, STAY, EXTENSION OR MORATORIUM NOW OR
HEREAFTER IN FORCE UNDER ANY APPLICABLE LAW IN ORDER TO PREVENT OR DELAY THE

PORTION THEREOF, AND EACH LOAN PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND ALL WHO MAY CLAIM UNDER IT,
INSOFAR AS IT OR THEY NOW OR HEREAFTER LAWFULLY MAY, HEREBY WAIVES THE BENEFIT

      Section
12.5        Remedies
Cumulative.

       

      Each and
every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall be in addition to every other right, power and
remedy specifically given under this Agreement, the Orders or the other Loan
Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute and
each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or
otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as
often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender.  All such rights, powers and remedies shall be
cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of exercise of one shall not be
deemed a waiver of the right to exercise of any other or others.  No
delay or omission of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of
any such right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any of the
Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed
to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein.  In the event that the Administrative Agent shall bring any
suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment,
then in such suit the Administrative Agent may recover reasonable expenses,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the amounts thereof shall be included
in such judgment.

       

      Section
12.6        Discontinuance of
Proceeding.

the Administrative Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any
right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or
otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Administrative Agent, then
and in every such case the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each holder of
any of the Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the Liens granted under this
Agreement and the Final Order, and all rights, remedies and powers of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue as if no such proceeding had
been instituted.

      Miscellaneous

       

      Section
13.1        Amendments, Waivers,
Etc.

       

      (a)           No
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document nor consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Requisite Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the
Requisite Lenders); provided,
however, that any amendment, waiver or consent that would constitute a
Credit Impairment Event shall become effective only if approved in writing by
the Supermajority Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of
the Supermajority Lenders); provided further, however,
that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each
Lender directly affected thereby (other than any Non-Funding Lender), in
addition to the consent of the Requisite Lenders or Supermajority Lenders, as
applicable (or the Administrative Agent with the consent thereof), do any of the
following:

      
        
           

        

        
          104

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (i)           increase
the Commitment of such Lender;

       

      (ii)          extend
the scheduled final maturity, or otherwise extend the maturity, of any Loan
(except pursuant to the Fifteen Month Facility Extension Option) owing to such
Lender, extend the expiration date of any Commitment hereunder, or waive, reduce
or postpone any scheduled date fixed for the payment or reduction of principal
or interest of any such Loan or fees owing to such Lender (it being understood
that Section 2.8 does not provide for
scheduled dates fixed for payment and no waiver of default rate interest
constitutes a waiver, reduction or postponement for purposes of this clause
(ii));

       

      (iii)         reduce,
or release the Borrower from its obligations to repay, the principal amount of
any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation owing to such Lender (other than by the
payment or prepayment thereof);

       

      (iv)         reduce
the rate of interest on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation outstanding and
owing to such Lender or any fee payable hereunder to such Lender (it being
understood that the rescission of any election to impose (or waiver of any
imposition of) default rate interest shall not be deemed to be a reduction to
the rate of interest on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation);

       

      (v)         except
as otherwise permitted by Section 2.19, expressly subordinate any of the
Obligations or any Liens securing the Obligations;

       

      (vi)         postpone
any scheduled date fixed for payment of interest or fees owing to such Lender or
waive any such payment;

       

      (vii)        release
all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all
of the Guarantors from their obligations under Article XI;

       

      (viii)       amend
this Section 13.1 or either definition of
the terms “Credit Impairment
Event”, “Requisite
Lenders” or “Supermajority Lenders”,
“Revolving Percentage”, “Term
Percentage”, “Aggregate
Exposure Percentage” or “Majority Facility
Lenders”;

       

      and provided, further, that (x)
no amendment or consent which shall increase the aggregate Commitments of all
Lenders hereunder above the Commitments in effect on the Closing Date shall be
effective unless in writing and signed by each Lender, (y) no amendment or
consent which shall increase the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans or
the Term Commitments of all Term Lenders hereunder above the Term Commitments in
effect on the Closing Date shall be effective unless in writing and signed by
the Majority Facility Lenders for the Term Facility or (z) any amendment, waiver
or consent which changes the definition of “Borrowing Base” or any
defined terms used in such definition shall be effective if in writing and
signed by (and only by) the Majority Facility Lenders for the Revolving
Facility; provided, further,
that the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower,
amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document to cure
any typographical error, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment,
modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or
any Issuer.

      
        
           

        

        
          105

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (b)           The
Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written
concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or
consents on behalf of such Lender.  Any waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
it was given.  No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case
shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances.

       

      (c)           If,
in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination
the consent of any Lender whose consent is required is not obtained (any such
Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 13.1 being referred to as a
“Non-Consenting
Lender”), then, at the Borrower’s request, any Eligible Assignee shall
purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees
that it shall, upon request made within 90 days of such non-consent, sell and
assign to the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible
Assignee, all of the Commitments, Revolving Outstandings and Term Loans of such
Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans
held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees
with respect thereto through the date of sale; provided, however, that such
purchase and sale shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the
Administrative Agent and shall not be effective until (x) the Administrative
Agent shall have received from such Eligible Assignee an agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and
(y) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payments of all Loans held by
it and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the
date of the sale.  Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a
Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Assignment an Acceptance to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent any Promissory Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans
are evidenced by a Promissory Note) subject to such Assignment and Acceptance;
provided, however, that
the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance
shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment)
invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

       

      Section
13.2        Expenses; Indemnity; Damage
Waiver

       

      (a)           The
Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent and its Related Parties, including the reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection
with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the
internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the Facilities provided for
herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any
amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuer
in connection with the Issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter
of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket

including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent, the Issuer or any Lender, in connection with the
enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan
Documents, including its rights under this Section 13.2, or in connection with
the Loans made or Letters of Credit Issued hereunder, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during  any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. Expenses being
reimbursed by the Borrower under this Section include, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, but subject to the limitations otherwise set forth
in this Agreement, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in
connection with:

      
        
           

        

        
          106

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (i)           appraisals
and insurance reviews;

       

      (ii)          field
examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third
party retained by the Administrative Agent or the internally allocated fees for
each Person employed by the Administrative Agent with respect to each field
examination;

       

      (iii)         background
checks regarding senior management and/or key investors, as deemed necessary or
appropriate in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent;

       

      (iv)         taxes,
fees and other charges for (A) lien and title searches and title insurance and
(B) recording the Mortgages, filing financing statements and continuations, and
other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Administrative Agent’s
Liens;

       

      (v)          sums
paid or incurred to take any action required of any Loan Party under the Loan
Documents that such Loan Party fails to pay or take after five Business Days
prior notice from the Administrative Agent; and

       

      (vi)         forwarding
loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing
and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of
preserving and protecting the Collateral.

       

      (b)           The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and each Lender,
and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being
called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any
agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties
hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or any other transactions
contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuer to honor a demand for
payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with
such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit),
(iii) any Environmental Liabilities and Costs related in any way to the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries or (iv) any actual claim, litigation, investigation
or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort
or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto,
provided that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such
Indemnitee (or such Indemnitee’s Related Parties).  For the avoidance
of doubt, any indemnification for Taxes or Other Taxes shall be subject to the
terms and conditions of Section 2.16(c) and Section 2.16(e).

       

      (c)           To
the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it
to the Administrative Agent or this Issuer under paragraph (a) or (b) above,
each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Issuer,
as the case may be, such Lender's Aggregate Exposure Percentage (determined as
of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is
sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the
case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the
Issuer in its capacity as such.

      
        
           

        

        
          107

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (d)           To
the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this
Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, any Loan or Letter
of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

       

      (e)           All
amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand
therefor (including documentation reasonably supporting such
request).

       

      Section
13.3        Successors and
Assigns

       

      (a)           The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby
(including any Affiliate of the Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit), except
that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any
attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be
null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section
13.3.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be
construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of
the Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent
provided in Section 13.3(f)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby,
the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and the
Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

       

      (b)           (i)
Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (ii) below, any Lender
may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of
the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment (x) of all or any
portion of a Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or
(y) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A)
except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or
an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment
and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless the
Administrative Agent otherwise consents, (B) each partial assignment shall be
made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause
shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of either (x) Revolving
Loans or (y) Term Loans, (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with
a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (D) the assignee, if it
shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the information
required by Section 2.16(e) and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the
assignee designates one or more contacts to whom all syndicate-level information
(which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower, the Loan
Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made
available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s
compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state
securities laws.

      
        
           

        

        
          108

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (c)           Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 13.3(d), from and after
the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14(b),  Section 2.15 and
Section 2.16, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
2.16(e)).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.3
shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section
13.3(f).

       

      (d)           The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of
the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and Letter
of Credit Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from
time to time (the “Register”).  The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and the Lenders may treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to
the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower, the Issuer and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice.

       

      (e)           Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed Administrative
Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the
processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 13.3(b) and any written
consent to such assignment required by Section 13.3(b), the Administrative Agent
shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained
therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the
assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it
pursuant to Section 2.3(d), Section 2.3(e), Section 2.2(d) or Section 13.2(c),
the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and
Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until
such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest
thereon.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this
Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this
paragraph.

       

      (f)            Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the
Issuer, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a
portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such
Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuer and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement.  Subject to Section 13.3(g), the Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14(b), Section 2.15
and Section 2.16 (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.16(e)) to
the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

      
        
           

        

        
          109

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (g)           A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
2.14(b), Section 2.15 and Section 2.16 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.  A Participant that would
be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits
of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to
such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower,
to comply with Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender.

       

      (h)           Any
Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender,
including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 13.3 shall not apply to any such pledge
or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment
of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto.

       

      Section
13.4        Limitation of
Liability

       

      The
Borrower agrees that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether in
contract, tort or otherwise) to any Loan Party or any of their respective
Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for or in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan
Documents, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
primarily from such Indemnitee’s (or such Indemnitee’s Related Parties’) gross
negligence or willful misconduct.  In no event, however, shall any
Indemnitee or Loan Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any
