previous Competitive Bid Quote submitted by such Bank with respect to the same
Competitive Bid Quote Request. Any such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote shall
be disregarded by the Agent unless such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote is
submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Competitive Bid
Quote. The Agent’s notice to the Company shall specify (i) the aggregate
principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers have been received
for each Interest Period specified in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request,
(ii) the respective principal amounts and Competitive Bid Margins or Competitive
Bid Absolute Rates, as the case may be, so offered and (iii) if applicable,
limitations on the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which
offers in any single Competitive Bid Quote may be accepted. 

16 

    
(f) Acceptance and Notice by Company. Not
later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) on (x) the third Euro-Dollar Business
Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or
(y) the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or,
in either case, such other time or date as the Company and the Agent
shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later than
the date of the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or
Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective), the Company
shall notify the Agent of its acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers so
notified to it pursuant to subsection (e). In the case of acceptance, such
notice (a “Notice of Competitive Bid
Borrowing”) shall specify the aggregate
principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. A failure
by the Company to notify the Agent as aforesaid shall constitute non-acceptance
of the offers so notified to it. The Company may accept any Competitive Bid
Quote in whole or in part; provided that: 

     (i) the aggregate principal amount of each Competitive Bid
Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related
Competitive Bid Quote Request, 

     (ii)
the principal amount of each Competitive Bid
Borrowing must be $25,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, 

     (iii)
acceptance of offers may only be made on the
basis of ascending Competitive Bid Margins or Competitive Bid Absolute Rates, as
the case may be,

     (iv)
the Company may not accept any offer that is
described in subsection (d)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the
requirements of this Agreement, and 

     (v)
immediately after such Competitive Bid Borrowing
is made the Total Outstanding Amount shall not exceed the aggregate amount of
the Commitments. 

    
(g) Allocation by Agent. If offers are
made by two or more Banks with the same Competitive Bid Margins or Competitive
Bid Absolute Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount
than the amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related
Interest Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of
which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Agent among such Banks
as nearly as possible (in multiples of $1,000,000, as the Agent may deem
appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers.
Determinations by the Agent of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

     Section 2.04. Notice to Banks; Funding of Loans. (a)
Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank
of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s share (if any) of such Borrowing and
such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Company.

    
(b) Not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of each
Borrowing, each Bank participating therein shall make available its share of
such Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York
City, to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01. Unless the Agent
determines that any applicable condition specified in Article 3 has not been
satisfied, the Agent will make the funds so received from the Banks available to
the Company at the Agent’s aforesaid address. 

    
(c) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date
of any Borrowing (or, in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, prior to 12:00 Noon
(New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing) that such Bank will not make
available to the Agent such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume
that such Bank has made such share available to the Agent on the date of such
Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.04 and the Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company on such
date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have
so made such share available to the Agent, such Bank and the Company severally
agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount
together with interest thereon, for each day
from the date such amount is made available to the Company until the date such
amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Company, a rate per
annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate
applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.07 and (ii) in the case of such Bank,
the Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Agent such corresponding
amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such
Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. 

17 

     Section 2.05. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each
Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Company to such Bank resulting from each Loan
made by such Bank, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and
paid to such Bank from time to time hereunder. 

    
(b) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (a) of
this Section 2.05 shall be prima
facie evidence of the existence and amounts
of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Bank
to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect
the obligation of the Company to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. 

    
(c) The Company agrees that, upon the request to the Agent by any Bank, the
Company will promptly execute and deliver to such Bank a Note. 

    
Section 2.06. Maturity of Loans. (a) Each Committed Loan shall mature, and the principal
amount thereof shall be due and payable (together with interest accrued thereon)
on the Termination Date. 

    
(b) Each Competitive Bid Loan shall mature, and the principal amount thereof
shall be due and payable (together with accrued interest thereon) on the last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

    
Section 2.07. Interest Rates. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is
made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate
Margin and the Base Rate for such day. Such interest shall be payable at
maturity, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and, with respect
to the principal amount of any Base Rate Loan that is prepaid or converted to a
Euro-Dollar Loan, on the date of such prepayment or conversion. Any overdue
principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest, payable on
demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus
the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day. 

    
(b) Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at
a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Euro-Dollar Margin for such day plus
the London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Interest Period. Such
interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and,
if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three
months after the first day thereof. 

    
(c) Any overdue principal of or interest on any Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear
interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal
to the sum of 2% plus the Euro-Dollar Margin for such day plus the London
Interbank Offered Rate applicable to the Interest Period for such Loan (or, if
the circumstances described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.01 shall exist, at
a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans for such day). 

    
(d) Subject to Section 8.01(a), each Competitive Bid LIBOR Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period
applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the London Interbank
Offered Rate for such Interest Period (determined in accordance with Section
2.07(b) as if the related Competitive Bid LIBOR Borrowing were a Committed
Euro-Dollar Borrowing) plus (or minus) the
Competitive Bid Margin quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with
Section 2.03. Each Competitive Bid Absolute Rate Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable
thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Competitive Bid Absolute Rate quoted
by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03. Such interest
shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such
Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after
the first day thereof. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Competitive
Bid Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a
rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate for such day.

18 

     (e) The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans
hereunder. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Company and the
participating Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its
determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

    
Section 2.08. Method of Electing Interest
Rates. (a) The Loans included in each
Committed Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified
by the Company in the applicable Notice of Committed Borrowing. Thereafter, the
Company may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest
rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject to Section 2.08(d) and the provisions
of Article 8), as follows: 

    
(i) if
such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Company may elect to convert such Loans to
Euro-Dollar Loans as of any Euro-Dollar Business Day; and 

    
(ii) if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Company may elect to convert
such Loans to Base Rate Loans or continue such Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans for an
additional Interest Period, in each case as of the last day of the then current
Interest Period applicable thereto. 

Each such election shall be made by
delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest
Rate Election”) to the Agent not later than
12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Euro-Dollar Business Day before the
conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. A Notice
of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of
the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such
portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group and (ii) the
portion to which such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does
not apply, are each at least $25,000,000 (unless such portion is comprised of
Base Rate Loans). If no such notice is timely received before the end of an
Interest Period for any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans, the Company shall be deemed
to have elected that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Group of Loans be
continued as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period of one month
(subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period). 

    
(b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify: 

    
(i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

    
(ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice
is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of Section
2.08(a); 

    
(iii) if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new type of
Loans and, if the Loans resulting from such conversion are to be Euro-Dollar
Loans, the duration of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable thereto;
and 

    
(iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional
Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period. 

19 

Each Interest Period specified in a
Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the
definition of Interest Period. 

     (c) Promptly after receiving a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the
Company pursuant to Section 2.08(a), the Agent shall notify each Bank of the
contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the
Company. 

    
(d) The Company shall not be entitled to elect to convert any Committed Loans
to, or continue any Committed Loans for an additional Interest Period as,
Euro-Dollar Loans if (i) the aggregate principal amount of any Group of
Euro-Dollar Loans created or continued as a result of such election would be
less than $25,000,000 or (ii) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing
when the Company delivers notice of such election to the Agent. 

    
(e) If
any Committed Loan is converted to a different type of Loan, the Company shall
pay, on the date of such conversion, the interest accrued to such date on the
principal amount being converted. 

    
Section 2.09. Facility Fee. (a) The Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of
the Banks ratably a facility fee at the Facility Fee Rate. Such facility fee
shall accrue (i) from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the
Termination Date (or earlier date of termination of the Commitments in their
entirety), on the daily aggregate amount of the Commitments (whether used or
unused) and (ii) from and including the Termination Date or such earlier date of
termination to but excluding the date the Loans shall be repaid in their
entirety, on the daily Total Outstanding Amount. 

    
(b) The Company shall pay (i) to the Agent for the account of the Banks
ratably a letter of credit fee accruing daily on the aggregate undrawn amount of
all outstanding Letters of Credit at a rate per annum equal to the Euro-Dollar
Margin for such day and (ii) to each Issuing Bank for its own account, a letter
of credit fronting fee accruing daily on the aggregate amount then available for
drawing under all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at such rate as
may be mutually agreed between the Company and such Issuing Bank from time to
time. 

    
(c) Accrued fees under this Section 2.09 shall be payable quarterly in
arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, and upon the date of termination of the
Commitments in their entirety (and, if later, the date the Loans shall be repaid
in their entirety). 

    
Section 2.10. Optional Termination or Reduction of
Commitments. During the Revolving Credit
Period, the Company may, upon at least three Domestic Business Days’ notice to
the Agent, (i) terminate the Commitments at any time, if no Loans or Letter of
Credit Liabilities are outstanding at such time or (ii) ratably (except as
otherwise provided in Section 2.20) reduce from time to time by an aggregate
amount of $25,000,000 or any larger multiple thereof, the aggregate amount of
the Commitments in excess of the Total Outstanding Amount. Commitments
terminated or reduced pursuant to this Section 2.10 may not be reinstated.

    
Section 2.11. Scheduled Termination of
Commitments. The Commitments shall terminate
on the Termination Date. 

    
Section 2.12. Optional Prepayments. (a) Subject in the case of any Euro-Dollar Loans to Section
2.14, the Company may (i) upon at least one Domestic Business Day’s notice to
the Agent, prepay any Group of Base Rate Loans (or any Competitive Bid Borrowing
bearing interest at the Base Rate pursuant to Section 8.01(a)) or (ii) upon at
least three Euro-Dollar Business Days’ notice to the Agent, prepay any Group of
Euro-Dollar Loans, in each case in whole at any time, or from time to time in
part in amounts aggregating $25,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, by
paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with
accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional
prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks
included in such Group (or Borrowing), except as otherwise provided in Section
2.20. 

20 

     (b) Except as provided in Section 2.12(a), the Company may not prepay all or
any portion of the principal amount of any Competitive Bid Loan prior to the
maturity thereof. 

    
(c) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.12, the
Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s
ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter
be revocable by the Company. 

    
Section 2.13. General Provisions as to Payments. (a)
The Company shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans
and of fees hereunder, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the
date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City,
to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01, without set-off or
counterclaim. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable share
of each such payment received by the Agent for the account of the Banks.
Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of
fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for
payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day.
Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans
shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for
payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business
Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in
which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar
Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the
Competitive Bid Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business
Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended
by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such
extended time. 

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

    
Section 2.14. Funding Losses. If the Company makes
any payment of principal with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan or any Fixed Rate
Loan is converted to a different type of Loan (whether such payment or
conversion is pursuant to Article 2, 6 or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or the last day of an
applicable period fixed pursuant to Section 2.07(c), or if the Company fails to
borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Fixed Rate Loans after notice has been
given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.04(a), 2.08(c) or 2.12(c), the
Company shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after demand for any resulting
loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective Participant in
the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in
obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding
loss of margin for the period after any such payment or conversion or failure to
borrow, prepay, convert or continue; provided that such Bank shall have
delivered to the Company a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense,
which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

21 

     Section 2.15. Computation
of Interest and Fees. Interest based on the
Prime Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or
366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and
fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the
actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day). 

    
Section 2.16. Regulation D
Compensation. Each Bank may require the
Company to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on the
Euro-Dollar Loans, additional interest on the related Euro-Dollar Loan of such
Bank at a rate per annum determined by such Bank up to but not exceeding the
excess of (i) (A) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate divided by (B)
one minus
the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable London Interbank
Offered Rate. Any Bank wishing to require payment of such additional interest
(x) shall so notify the Company and the Agent, in which case such additional
interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans of such Bank shall be payable to such Bank at
the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period
commencing at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days after the giving of such
notice and (y) shall notify the Company at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days
prior to each date on which interest is payable on the Euro-Dollar Loans of the
amount then due it under this Section 2.16. 

    
Section 2.17. Commitment Increase; Additional Banks.
(a) The Company may, upon at least 30 days’ notice to the Agent (which shall
promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Banks), propose to increase the
aggregate amount of the Commitments by an amount not to exceed $350,000,000 (the
amount of any such increase, the “Commitment
Increase”). Each Bank party to this Agreement
at such time shall have the right (but no obligation), for a period of 15 days
following its receipt of such notice from the Agent, to elect by notice to the
Company and the Agent to increase its Commitment by a principal amount up to
that amount which bears the same ratio to the Commitment Increase as its then
existing Commitment bears to the aggregate Commitments then existing.

    
(b) If
any Bank party to this Agreement shall not elect to increase its Commitment by
the full amount permitted by subsection (a) of this Section 2.17, the Company
with the consent of the Agent may designate one or more other banks or other
financial institutions (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the
existing Banks) which at the time agree in the case of any such bank that is an
existing Bank to increase its Commitment and, in the case of any other such bank
(an “Additional Bank”), to become a party to this Agreement. The sum of the
increases in the Commitments of the existing Banks pursuant to this subsection
(b) plus the Commitments of the Additional Banks shall not in the aggregate
exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Commitment Increase. 

    
(c) An
increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section
2.17 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Agent of an agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to the Agent signed by the Company, by each
Additional Bank and by each other Bank whose Commitment is to be increased,
setting forth the new Commitments of such Banks and setting forth the agreement
of each Additional Bank to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by
all the terms and provisions hereof, together with such evidence of appropriate
corporate authorization on the part of the Company with respect to the
Commitment Increase and such opinions of counsel for the Company with respect to
the Commitment Increase as the Agent may reasonably request. 

    
(d) Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to
this Section 2.17, (i) the respective Letter of Credit Liabilities of the Banks
shall be redetermined on the basis of their Commitments after giving effect to
such increase and (ii) within five Domestic Business Days, in the case of Base
Rate Loans then outstanding, and at the end of the then current Interest Period
with respect thereto, in the case of Euro-Dollar Loans then outstanding, the
Company shall prepay or repay such Loans in their entirety and, to the extent
the Company elects to do so and subject to the conditions specified in Article 3 of this Agreement, the
Company shall reborrow Committed Loans from the Banks in proportion to their
respective Commitments after giving effect to such increase, until such time as
all outstanding Committed Loans are held by the Banks in such proportion.

22 

     Section 2.18. Letters of
Credit.

    
(a) Commitment to Issue Letters of Credit.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Bank agrees to issue
Letters of Credit from time to time from and after the Closing Date and before
the Termination Date upon the request of the Company; provided that, immediately after each
Letter of Credit is issued (i) the Total Outstanding Amount shall not exceed the
aggregate amount of the Commitments and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Letter
of Credit Liabilities shall not exceed $125,000,000. Upon the date of issuance
by an Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed,
without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Bank, and each
Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have
purchased from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit and
the related Letter of Credit Liabilities in the proportion its respective
Commitment bears to the aggregate Commitments. If the terms and conditions of
any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the
Company to, or entered into by the Bank relating to any Letters of Credit are
not consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall control. 

    
(b) Method for Issuance; Terms; Extensions. 

     (i)
The Company shall give the Issuing Bank notice at
least three Domestic Business Days (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable
to the Issuing Bank in its discretion) prior to the requested issuance of a
Letter of Credit (or, in the case of renewal or extension, prior to the Issuing
Bank’s deadline for notice of nonextension) specifying the date such Letter of
Credit is to be issued, and describing the terms of such Letter of Credit and
the nature of the transactions to be supported thereby (such notice, including
any such notice given in connection with the extension of a Letter of Credit, a
“Notice of Issuance”). Upon receipt of a Notice of Issuance, the Issuing Bank shall promptly
notify the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents
thereof and of the amount of such Bank’s participation in such Letter of
Credit.

     (ii)
The obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue each
Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 3.03 be subject to the conditions precedent that such Letter of Credit
shall be in such form and contain such terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Issuing Bank and that the Company shall have executed and delivered such
other customary instruments and agreements relating to such Letter of Credit as
the Issuing Bank shall have reasonably requested. The Company shall also pay to
the Issuing Bank for its own account issuance, drawing, amendment, settlement
and extension charges, if any, in the amounts and at the times as agreed between
the Company and the Issuing Bank. 

     (iii)
The extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit
shall be deemed to be an issuance of such Letter of Credit, and if any Letter of
Credit contains a provision pursuant to which it is deemed to be extended unless
notice of termination is given by the Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank shall
timely give such notice of termination unless it has theretofore timely received
a Notice of Issuance and the other conditions to issuance of a Letter of Credit
have also theretofore been met with respect to such extension. Each Letter of
Credit shall expire at or before the close of business on a date no later than
the tenth day prior to the end of the Revolving Credit Period. 

23 

     (c) Payments; Reimbursement Obligations.

     (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any
Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent and the Agent shall promptly notify the
Company and each other Bank as to the amount to be paid as a result of such
demand or drawing and the date such payment is to be made by the Issuing Bank
(the “Payment Date”). The Company shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for any amounts paid by the Issuing Bank upon any
drawing under any Letter of Credit, without presentment, demand, protest or
other formalities of any kind. Such reimbursement shall be due on the Payment
Date; provided that no such payment shall be due from the Company any earlier than the
date of receipt by it of notice of its obligation to make such payment (or, if
such notice is received by the Company after 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on
any date, on the next succeeding Domestic Business Day); and provided further that if
and to the extent any such reimbursement is not made by the Company in
accordance with this clause (i) or clause (ii) below on the Payment Date, then
(irrespective of when notice thereof is received by the Company), such
reimbursement obligation shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day
from and including the Payment Date to but not including the date such
reimbursement obligation is paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the rate
applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day. 

    
(ii) If the Commitments remain in effect on the Payment Date, all such amounts
paid by the Issuing Bank and remaining unpaid by the Company after the date and
time required by Section 2.18(c)(i) (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) shall, if
and to the extent that the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation would be
permitted as a Borrowing of a Loan pursuant to Section 3.03, and unless the
Company otherwise instructs the Agent by not less than one Domestic Business
Day’s prior notice, convert automatically to Base Rate Loans on the date such
Reimbursement Obligation arises. The Agent shall, on behalf of the Company
(which hereby irrevocably directs the Agent so to act on its behalf), give
notice no later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) on such date requesting
each Bank to make, and each Bank hereby agrees to make, a Base Rate Loan, in an
amount equal to such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of the Reimbursement
Obligation with respect to which such notice relates. Each Bank shall make such
Loan available to the Agent at its address specified in or pursuant to Section
2.08(b)(i) in immediately available funds, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York
City time), on the date specified in such notice. The Agent shall pay the
proceeds of such Loans to the Issuing Bank, which shall immediately apply such
proceeds to repay the Reimbursement Obligation.

    
(iii) To the extent the Reimbursement Obligation is not refunded by a Bank
pursuant to clause (ii) above, such Bank will pay to the Agent, for the account
of the Issuing Bank, immediately upon the Issuing Bank’s demand at any time
during the period commencing after such Reimbursement Obligation arises until
reimbursement therefor in full by the Company, an amount equal to such Bank’s
Applicable Percentage of such Reimbursement Obligation, together with interest
on such amount for each day from the date of the Issuing Bank’s demand for such
payment (or, if such demand is made after 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such
date, from the next succeeding Domestic Business Day) to the date of payment by
such Bank of such amount at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate for the first three Domestic Business Days after the date of such
demand and thereafter at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for each
additional day. The Issuing Bank will pay to each Bank ratably all amounts
received from the Company for application in payment of its Reimbursement
Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit, but only to the extent such Bank
has made payment to the Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit
pursuant hereto; provided that in the event such payment received by the Issuing Bank
is required to be returned, such Bank will return to the Issuing Bank any
portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Issuing Bank. 

24 

     (d) Obligations Absolute. The obligations
of the Company and each Bank under subsection (c) above shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including
without limitation the following circumstances: 

     (i)
any lack of validity or enforceability of this
Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto;

     (ii)
any amendment or waiver of or any consent to
departure from all or any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Letter of
Credit or any document related hereto or thereto, provided by any party affected
thereby; 

     (iii)
the use which may be made of the Letter of Credit
by, or any acts or omission of, a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any
Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting); 

     (iv)
the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or
other rights that the Company may have at any time against a beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting), any
Bank (including the Issuing Bank) or any other Person, whether in connection
with this Agreement or the Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or
thereto or any unrelated transaction; 

     (v)
any statement or any 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
whatsoever;

     (vi)
payment under a Letter of Credit against
presentation to the Issuing Bank of documents that do not comply with the terms
of such Letter of Credit;

     (vii)
any termination of the Commitments prior to, on
or after the Payment Date for any Letter of Credit, whether at the scheduled
termination thereof, by operation of Section 6.01 or otherwise; or 

     (viii) any other act or omission to act or delay
of any kind by any Bank (including the Issuing Bank), the Agent or any other
Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the
provisions of this subsection (viii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge
of or defense to the Company’s or the Bank’s obligations hereunder; 

    
provided, that this Section
2.18(d) shall not limit the rights of the Company under Section 2.18(e)(ii).

    
(e) Indemnification; Expenses. 

     (i)
The Company hereby indemnifies and holds harmless
each Bank (including each Issuing Bank) and the Agent from and against any and
all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which it may
reasonably incur in connection with a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this
Section 2.18; provided that the Company shall not be required to indemnify any Bank,
or the Agent, for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses,
to the extent found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or material breach by
such Person of an obligation under this Agreement and shall not be required to
indemnify the Issuing Bank for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs
or expenses caused by any matter referred to in clause (x) or (y) of Section
2.18(e)(ii). 

25 

     (ii) None of the Banks (including an Issuing Bank) nor the Agent
nor any of their officers or directors or employees or agents shall be liable or
responsible, by reason of or in connection with the execution and delivery or
transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit, including
without limitation any of the circumstances enumerated in subsection (d) above;
provided
that, notwithstanding Sections 2.18(c) and 2.18(d), the Company shall have a
claim for direct and incidental (but not consequential) damage suffered by it,
to the extent finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
been caused by (x) subject to the following sentence, the Issuing Bank’s failure
to exercise reasonable care in determining whether documents presented under any
Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (y) the
Issuing Bank’s failure (i) to pay under any Letter of Credit after the
presentation to it of documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions
of the Letter of Credit or (ii) otherwise perform their express obligations
under any Letter of Credit. 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 Issuing Bank may, in its 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. 

     (iii)
Nothing in this subsection (e) is intended to
limit the obligations of the Company under any other provision of this
Agreement. To the extent the Company does not indemnify an Issuing Bank as
required by this subsection, the Banks agree to do so ratably in accordance with
their Commitments. 

    
(f) Stop Issuance Notice. If the Required
Banks reasonably determine at any time that the conditions set forth in Section
3.03 would not be satisfied in respect of a Borrowing at such time, then the
Required Banks may request that the Agent issue a “Stop Issuance Notice”, and the Agent
shall promptly issue such notice to each Issuing Bank. Such Stop Issuance Notice
shall be withdrawn upon a determination by the Required Banks that the
circumstances giving rise thereto no longer exist. No Letter of Credit shall be
issued while a Stop Issuance Notice is in effect. The Required Banks may request
issuance of a Stop Issuance Notice only if there is a reasonable basis therefor,
and shall consider reasonably and in good faith a request from the Company for
withdrawal of the same on the basis that the conditions in Section 3.03 are
satisfied, provided that the Agent and the Issuing Banks may and shall conclusively rely
upon any Stop Issuance Notice while it remains in effect. 

    
Section 2.19. Extension Option.
(a)
The Termination Date may be extended in the
manner set forth in this Section 2.19 for a period of one year from the
Termination Date then in effect; provided that the Termination Date may
only be extended for two additional one year periods. If the Company wishes to
request an extension of the Termination Date, the Company shall give written
notice to that effect to the Agent not less than 45 days nor more than 90 days
prior to each anniversary of the date hereof that occurs on or prior to the
Termination Date then in effect, whereupon the Agent shall promptly notify each
of the Banks of such request. Each Bank will use its best efforts to respond to
such request, whether affirmatively or negatively, as it may elect in its sole
and absolute discretion, within 30 days of such notice to the Agent. If any Bank
shall not have responded affirmatively within such 30-day period, such Bank
shall be deemed to have rejected the Company’s proposal to extend its Commitment
and only the Commitments of those Banks which have responded affirmatively shall
be extended, subject to receipt by the Agent of counterparts of an Extension
Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto (the “Extension Agreement”) duly
completed and signed by the Company, the Agent and all of the Banks which have
responded affirmatively. No extension of the Commitments pursuant to this
Section 2.19 shall be legally binding on any party
hereto unless and until such Extension Agreement is so executed and delivered by
Banks having at least 66 2/3% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments.

26 

     (b) If
any Bank rejects, or is deemed to have rejected, the Company’s proposal to
extend its Commitment, (i) this Agreement shall terminate on the Termination
Date then in effect with respect to such Bank, (ii) the Company shall pay to
such Bank on such Termination Date any amounts due and payable to such Bank on
such date and (iii) the Company may, if it so elects, designate a Person not
theretofore a Bank and acceptable to the Agent to become a Bank, or agree with
an existing Bank that such Bank’s Commitment shall be increased, provided that any
designation or agreement may not increase the aggregate amount of the
Commitments. Upon execution and delivery by the Company and such replacement
Bank or other Person of an instrument of assumption in form and amount
satisfactory to the Agent and execution and delivery of the Extension Agreement
pursuant to Section 2.19(a), such existing Bank shall have a Commitment as
therein set forth or such other Person shall become a Bank with a Commitment as
therein set forth and all the rights and obligations of a Bank with such a
Commitment hereunder. On the date of termination of any Bank’s Commitment as
contemplated by this subsection (b), the respective participations of the other
Banks in all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be redetermined on the basis of
their respective Commitments after giving effect to such termination, and the
participation therein of the Bank whose Commitment is terminated shall
terminate; provided that the Company shall, if and to the extent necessary to permit such
redetermination of participations in Letters of Credit within the limits of the
Commitments which are not terminated, prepay on such date a portion of the
outstanding Loans, and such redetermination and termination of participations in
outstanding Letters of Credit shall be conditioned upon its having done so.

    
(c) The Agent shall promptly notify the Banks of the effectiveness of each
extension of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19. 

    
Section 2.20. Defaulting Banks.
If any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then
the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting
Bank: 

    
(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of
such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.09(a); 

    
(b) the Commitment and Loans of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in
determining whether the Required Banks have taken or may take any action
hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification
permitted to be effected by the Required Banks pursuant to Section 9.05);

    
(c) if
any Letter of Credit Liabilities exist at the time such Bank becomes a
Defaulting Bank then: 

     (i)
the Letter of Credit Liabilities of such
Defaulting Bank shall be automatically reallocated among the non-Defaulting
Banks in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the
extent that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of
Committed Loans by any non-Defaulting Bank outstanding at such time plus the
aggregate amount of such non-Defaulting Bank’s Letter of Credit Liabilities at
such time shall not exceed the amount of its Commitment; 

     (ii)
if the reallocation described in clause (i) above
cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall within three
Domestic Business Days following notice by the Agent either (x) procure the
reduction or termination of the Defaulting Bank’s Letter of Credit Liabilities
(after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above)
or (y) cash collateralize for the benefit of the
Issuing Bank only the Company’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting
Bank’s Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to any partial
reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Section 6.03 for so long as such Letter of Credit Liabilities are
outstanding; 

27 

     (iii) if the Company cash collateralizes any portion of such
Defaulting Bank’s Letter of Credit Liabilities pursuant to clause (ii) above,
the Company shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Bank
pursuant to Section 2.09(b) with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s Letter of
Credit Liabilities during the period such Defaulting Bank’s Letter of Credit
Liabilities are cash collateralized; 

     (iv)
to the extent that the Letter of Credit
Liabilities of the non-Defaulting Banks are reallocated pursuant to clause (i)
above, then the letter of credit fees payable to the Banks pursuant to Section
2.09(b) shall to the same extent be adjusted in accordance with the reallocation
of such non-Defaulting Banks’ Applicable Percentages; and 

     (v)
if all or any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s
Letter of Credit Liabilities is not reallocated, reduced, terminated nor cash
collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to
any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Bank hereunder, all
letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.09(b) with respect to such
Defaulting Bank’s Letter of Credit Liabilities shall be payable to the Issuing
Bank until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Liabilities are
reallocated, reduced, terminated and/or cash collateralized; and 

    
(d) so
long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank, the Issuing Bank shall not be required
to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Defaulting
Bank’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities after giving effect thereto
will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Banks and/or
prepaid, reduced, terminated and/or cash collateralized in accordance with
Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased
Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Banks in a manner
consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Bank shall not
participate therein). 

    
If the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Bank has defaulted
in fulfilling its funding obligations under one or more other agreements in
which such Bank commits to extend credit, the Issuing Bank shall not be required
to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing
Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Company or such Bank,
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank to defease any risk to the Issuing
Bank in respect of such Bank hereunder relating to Letter of Credit Liabilities.

    
In the event that the Agent, the Company and the Issuing Bank each agrees
that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank
to be a Defaulting Bank, then the Letter of Credit Liabilities of the Banks
shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Commitment and on
such date such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Banks
and such of the Letter of Credit Liabilities and unreimbursed Letter of Credit
Disbursements as the Agent shall determine is necessary in order for such Bank
to hold such Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities in accordance with its
Applicable Percentage; provided that there shall be no
retroactive effect on fees reallocated pursuant to Section 2.20(c)(iv) and (v).

    
(e) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, the Company may
(i) (A) prepay, without penalty or premium (but subject to Section 2.14), the
Loans made by an Affected Bank and (B) terminate the Commitment of an Affected
Bank, in each case, (x) without pro rata prepayment of Loans of other Banks or
pro rata termination of Commitments of other Banks and (y) upon not less than two Business Days’ prior notice to the
Agent (which will promptly notify the Banks thereof) or (ii) replace the
Affected Bank in accordance with Section 8.06(b), it being understood that such
prepayment and termination, or such replacement, will not be deemed to be a
waiver or release of any claim the Company or the Agent may have against such
Affected Bank. 

28 

     (f) Simultaneously with the termination of the Commitment of an Affected Bank
pursuant to clause (e) of this Section 2.20: 

    
(i) the Letter of Credit Liabilities of such Affected Bank shall be
automatically reallocated among the other Banks (other than Defaulting Banks) in
accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent
that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of Committed
Loans by any non-Affected Bank outstanding at such time plus the aggregate
amount of such non-Affected Bank’s Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time
shall not exceed the amount of its Commitment; and 

    
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) cannot be effected, such
Commitment termination shall not be effective unless the Company, at its option,
shall have cash collateralized the amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities of
such Affected Bank that has not been reallocated to the other Banks pursuant to
clause (i). 

    
(iii) Upon (and subject to) such reallocation and cash collateralization, the
participating interest of the Affected Bank in any outstanding Letters of Credit
shall terminate. 

    
(g) Nothing in this Section 2.20 shall affect any rights or remedies the
Company may have against any Defaulting Bank.

the knowledge of the Company any pending investigation or threatened suit,
proceeding or investigation against or affecting, the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries before any court or arbitrator or any Governmental Authority, in

relating thereto, as amended, and (b) the Patriot Act. No part of the proceeds
of the Loans shall be used by the Company, directly or indirectly, for any

transfer the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety
shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United

into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance or transfer is made
shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power
of, the Company under this Agreement with the same effect as if such successor
corporation had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter the predecessor
corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this
Agreement and the Notes and may be liquidated and dissolved. 

    
(c) If, upon any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any
corporation, or upon the conveyance or transfer by the Company of its properties
and assets substantially as an entirety in accordance with Section 5.06(a) to
any Person, any Principal Property owned by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary immediately prior
thereto would thereupon become subject to any Lien not permitted by Section
5.07, the Company will, prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance or
transfer, secure the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium,
if any) and interest, if any, on the Loans then outstanding (equally and ratably
with any other Debt of the Company then entitled to be so secured) by a direct
Lien on such Principal Property, together with any other properties and assets
of the Company or of any such Restricted Subsidiary, whichever shall be the
owner of any such Principal Property, which would thereupon become subject to
any such Lien, prior to all Liens other than any theretofore existing thereon.

Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 5.07, the Company and any one or more
Restricted Subsidiaries may create, incur, assume or suffer to exist Secured
Debt which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions in an
aggregate amount which, together with all other Secured Debt of the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing
restrictions (not including Secured Debt permitted under clauses (a) through (n)
above) and the aggregate value of the Sale and Lease-Back Transactions (as
defined in Section 5.08) in existence at such time (not including Sale and
Lease-Back Transactions the proceeds of which have been or will be applied in
accordance with clause (ii) of Section 5.08), does not at the time exceed 10% of

5.08. Limitations on Sale and Lease-Back. The Company will not, and will not permit any
Restricted Subsidiary to, sell or transfer (except to the Company or one or more
Restricted Subsidiaries, or both) any Principal Property owned by it and which
has been in full operation for more than 180 days prior to such sale or transfer
with the intention (a) of taking back a lease on such property, except a lease
for a temporary period (not exceeding 36 months) and (b) that the use by the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such property will be discontinued on
or before the expiration of the term of such lease (any such transaction being
herein referred to as a “Sale and
Lease-Back Transaction”), unless:

     (i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be
entitled, pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.07 hereof, to incur Secured
Debt equal in amount to the amount realized or to be realized upon such sale or
transfer secured by a mortgage on the property to be leased without equally and
ratably securing the Loans; or 

     (ii) the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary shall, within 180 days of the effective date
of any such transaction, apply an amount equal to the value of the property so
leased (x) to the retirement (other than any mandatory retirement) of
Consolidated Funded Debt or Debt then outstanding of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary that was Funded Debt at the time it was created (other
than Consolidated Funded Debt or such other Debt owned by the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary) or (y) to the purchase of Principal Property having a
value at least equal to the value of such property; provided, however, that the amount to be so applied pursuant to the
preceding clause (x) or (y) shall be reduced by (A) the principal amount of any
Loans repaid within 180 days of the effective date of any such transaction and
(B) the principal amount of Consolidated Funded Debt or Debt that was Funded
Debt at the time it was created (other than Loans) retired by the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary within 180 days of the effective date of any such
transaction; or 

     (iii) the
Sale and Lease-Back Transaction involved was an industrial revenue bond,
pollution control bond or similar financing arrangement between the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary and any Federal, State or municipal government or
other governmental body or agency. 

     The term “value”
shall mean, with respect to a Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, as of any
particular time, the amount equal to the greater of (x) the net proceeds of the
sale of the property leased pursuant to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction or
(y) the fair value of such property at the time of entering into such Sale and
Lease-Back Transaction, as determined by the board of directors of the Company
(or a duly authorized committee thereof), in either case divided first by the
number of full years of the term of the lease and then multiplied by the number
of full years of such term remaining at the time of determination, without
regard to any renewal or extension options contained in the lease. 

     Section
5.09. Limitations on Change in Subsidiary
Status. The Company may designate
any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or as a Restricted Subsidiary,
subject to the provisions set forth below: 

     (a) the

Subsidiary; 

37

Subsidiary or as a Restricted Subsidiary, there shall be filed with the Agent, a
certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Company stating that the
provisions of this Section 5.09 have been complied with in connection with such
designation.

generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company as if it were not the Agent hereunder. 

     Section

foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to
any Default, except as expressly provided in Article 6. 

39 

     Section
7.04. Consultation with Experts. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who
may be counsel for the Company), independent public accountants and other
experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts. 

     Section
7.05. Liability of Agent. Neither the Agent nor any of its affiliates nor
any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable
for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (a) with the
consent or at the request of the Required Banks or, when expressly required
hereby, all the Banks or (b) in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Neither the Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their
respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or
have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty
or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing or
issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of
any of the covenants or agreements of the Company; (iii) the satisfaction of any

(including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or
liability (except such as result from such indemnitee’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with
this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any action taken or omitted by such
indemnitees hereunder or thereunder. 

     Section

     Section
7.08. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving 30
days’ notice thereof to the Banks and the Company. Upon any such resignation,
the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no
successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall
have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives
notice of resignation (such 30-day period, the “Bank Appointment Period”), then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or
licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof
and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights
and duties of the retiring Agent. In addition and without any obligation on the

Agent, the retiring Agent may at any time following the occurrence of an Agent
Resignation Event and upon or after the end of the Bank Appointment Period
notify the Company and the Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted
appointment as successor Agent and the effective date of such retiring Agent’s
resignation, which effective date shall be no earlier than three Domestic
Business Days after the date of such notice. Upon the resignation effective date
established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Agent has been
appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall
nonetheless become effective and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations as Agent hereunder. After any retiring Agent’s
resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 7 shall inure to

ARTICLE 8 
Change in
Circumstances

     Section
8.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or
Unfair. If on or prior to the
first day of any Interest Period for any Fixed Rate Loans: 

     (a) the
Agent determines that (i) deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are
not generally available in the relevant market for such Interest Period or (ii)
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Dollar Rate, or

     (b) in the
case of Euro-Dollar Loans, Banks having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of
the Commitments advise the Agent that the London Interbank Offered Rate as
determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Banks of funding their Euro-Dollar Loans for such Interest Period, 

the Agent shall forthwith
give notice thereof to the Company and the Banks, whereupon until the Agent
notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no
longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to
continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be
suspended and (ii) each outstanding Euro-Dollar Loan shall be converted into a
Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable
thereto. Unless the Company notifies the Agent at least two Domestic Business
Days before the date of any Fixed Rate Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing
has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, (i) if such
Fixed Rate Borrowing is a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall instead be
made as a Base Rate Borrowing and (ii) if such Fixed Rate Borrowing is a
Competitive Bid LIBOR Borrowing, the Competitive Bid LIBOR Loans comprising such
Borrowing shall bear interest for each day from and including the first day to
but excluding the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto at the Base
Rate for such day. 

     Section
8.02. Illegality. (a) If a Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any
Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its
Euro-Dollar Loans and such Bank shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall
forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Company, whereupon
until such Bank notifies the Company and the Agent that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make
Euro-Dollar Loans, or to convert outstanding Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans or
continue outstanding Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be suspended. Before
giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section 8.02, such Bank shall
designate a different Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid
the need for giving such notice and will not, in the sole judgment of such Bank,
be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. 

     (b) If
such notice is given, each Euro-Dollar Loan of such Bank then outstanding shall
be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current
Interest Period applicable to such Euro-Dollar Loan if such Bank may lawfully
continue to maintain and fund such Loan as a Euro-Dollar Loan to such day or
(ii) immediately if such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue
to maintain and fund such Loan as a Euro-Dollar Loan to such day. Interest and
principal on any such Base Rate Loan shall be payable on the same dates as, and
on a pro rata basis with, the interest and principal payable on the related
Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks. 

41 

     Section 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If a Change in Law shall impose, modify or
deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement
imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding
with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement included in an
applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage), special deposit, insurance
assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the
account of, or credit (including letters of credit and participations therein)
extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or any Issuing Bank or
shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or any Issuing Bank
or on the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Fixed Rate
Loans or the Letters of Credit, its Note or its obligation to make Fixed Rate
Loans or its obligations hereunder in respect of Letters of Credit and the
result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its
Applicable Lending Office) or such Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any
Fixed Rate Loan or of issuing or participating in any Letters of Credit, or to
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its
Applicable Lending Office) or such Issuing Bank under this Agreement or under
its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank or Issuing Bank
to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank or Issuing Bank
(with a copy to the Agent), the Company shall pay to such Bank or Issuing Bank
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank
for such increased cost or reduction. 

     (b) If any
Bank shall have determined that a Change in Law has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a
consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which
such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking
into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after
demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Company shall pay to such
Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its
Parent) for such reduction. 

     (c) If a
Change in Law shall subject any Bank or Issuing Bank to any taxes (other than
Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of the
Company hereunder or under any Notes and Taxes described in clauses (a) through
(e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters
of credit, commitments, or other obligations hereunder, or its deposits,
reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result
shall be to increase the cost to such Bank or Issuing Bank of making or
maintaining any Euro-Dollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any
such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Bank or Issuing Bank of participating
in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any
sum received or receivable by such Bank or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or otherwise), then the Company will pay to such Bank or
Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or
Issuing Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

     (d) Each
Bank or Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event
of which it has knowledge, occurring after the Effective Date, which will
entitle such Bank or Issuing Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03
and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation
will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will
not, in the sole judgment of such Bank or Issuing Bank, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Bank or Issuing Bank. A certificate of any Bank or
Issuing Bank claiming compensation under this Section 8.03 and setting forth the
additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in
the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank or Issuing
Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Notwithstanding
the foregoing subsections of this Section 8.03, the Company shall only be
obligated to compensate any Bank or Issuing Bank for any amount arising or
accruing during (i) any time or period commencing not more than 90 days prior to
the date on which such Bank or Issuing Bank notifies the Agent and the Company
that it proposes to demand such compensation and identifies to the Agent and the
Company the statute, regulation or other basis upon which the claimed
compensation is or will be based and (ii) any time or period during which,
because of the retroactive application of such statute, regulation or other such
basis, such Bank or Issuing Bank did not know that such amount would arise or
accrue. 

42 

     (e) Failure or delay on the part of any Bank or the
Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall not
constitute a waiver of such Bank’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such
compensation, as the case may be; provided that the Company
shall not be required to compensate a Bank or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this
Section 8.03 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days
prior to the date that such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Bank’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

     Section
8.04. Taxes. 

     (a) Any
and all payments by the Company to or for the account of any Bank or Issuing
Bank or the Agent hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made free and
clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with
respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”), except as
required by applicable law. If the Company or the Agent (the “Withholding Agent”) shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes
from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Bank or
Issuing Bank or the Agent, (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum
payable by the Company shall be increased as necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 8.04) such Bank or Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may
be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been required; (ii) such Withholding Agent shall make such
deductions; (iii) such Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to
the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
law and (iv) if the Withholding Agent is the Company, such Company shall furnish
to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a
certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence
satisfactory to the Agent. 

     (b) In
addition, except to the extent attributable to a transfer under Section 9.06,
the Company agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary Taxes and
any other excise or property Taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise
from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or
delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note
(hereinafter referred to as “Other
Taxes”). 

     (c) The
Company agrees to indemnify each Bank or Issuing Bank and the Agent for the full
amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on
amounts payable under this Section 8.04) paid by such Bank, including any
Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto;
provided, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify
any party hereunder pursuant to this Section 8.04 for penalties, interest or
similar liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto to the extent such
penalties, interest or similar liabilities are attributable to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct by such party. This indemnification shall be
paid within 15 days after such Bank, including any Issuing Bank, or the Agent
(as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

43 

     (d) Any Bank, including any Issuing Bank, that is
entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to
payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the
Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent,
such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the
Company or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding
or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, including any
Issuing Bank, if requested by the Company or the Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Company or the Agent as will enable the Company or the Agent to determine
whether or not such Bank is subject to any withholding (including backup
withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and
submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Sections 8.04(e), (f), (g) and (h) below) shall not be required if in the Bank’s
judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any
material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or
commercial position of such Bank. 

     (e) Without limiting the foregoing, at the times indicated herein, each Bank,
including any Issuing Bank, organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside
the United States shall provide the Company and the Agent with duly and
accurately executed originals of Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, W-8IMY
(accompanied by a form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-9 and other certification documents
from each beneficial owner, as applicable) or W-8ECI (in each case accompanied
by any statements which may be required under applicable Treasury regulations),
as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, certifying that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under this
Agreement (i) without deduction or withholding of any United States federal
income Taxes or (ii) subject to a reduced rate of United States federal
withholding Tax, unless, in each case of clause (i) and (ii) of this Section
8.04(e), an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or
regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would
otherwise be required which renders such forms inapplicable or which would
prevent the Bank from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect
to it and the Bank advises the Company and the Agent that it is not capable of
receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of such Taxes. Such
forms shall be provided (x) on or prior to the date of the Bank’s execution and
delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature
pages hereof, and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case
of each other Bank, and (y) on or before the date that such form expires or
becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
most recent form so delivered by the Bank. If the form provided by a Bank at the
time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States
interest withholding Tax rate in excess of zero or if at such time such Bank is
otherwise subject to a United States interest withholding Tax rate in excess of
zero, United States withholding Tax at such rate shall be considered “ Excluded
Taxes”, except to the extent the assignor of such Bank was entitled, at the time
of such assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Company with respect
to such withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 8.04(a). In addition, to the
extent that for reasons other than a change of treaty, law or regulation any
Bank becomes subject to an increased rate of United States interest withholding
Tax while it is a party to this Agreement, United States withholding Tax at such
increased rate shall be considered “ Excluded Taxes”. 

     (f) Any
Bank, including any Issuing Bank, that is a “United States person” within the
meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the
Company and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Bank becomes a Bank
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the
Company or the Agent), duly and accurately executed originals of Internal
Revenue Service form W-9 certifying, to the extent such Bank is legally entitled
to do so, that such Bank is not subject to U.S. Federal backup withholding Tax.
For the avoidance of doubt, such Tax is an “Excluded Taxes”.

44 

     (g) If a payment made to a Bank, including any Issuing
Bank, under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax
imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable
requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b)
of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the
Company and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or
times reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent such documentation
prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section
1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation
reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as may be necessary for the
Company or the Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine
that such Bank has or has not complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA
or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for
the purposes of this Section 8.04(g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made
to FATCA after the date of this Agreement, whether or not included in the
definition of FATCA. 

     (h) Each
Bank, including any Issuing Bank, agrees that if any form or certification it
previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect,
it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and
the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

     (i) For
any period with respect to which a Bank, including any Issuing Bank, organized
under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States has failed to provide
the Company and the Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.04(e)
(unless such failure is excused by the terms of Section 8.04(e)), such Bank
shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.04(a) or 8.04(c) with
respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that if a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced
rate of withholding Tax, becomes subject to Taxes because of its failure to
deliver a form required hereunder, the Company shall take such steps as such
Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes.

     (j) Each
Bank, including any Issuing Bank, shall severally indemnify the Agent for any
Taxes and Excluded Taxes (but only to the extent that the Company has not
already indemnified the Agent for such Taxes and Excluded Taxes and without
limiting the obligation, if any, of the Company to do so), in each case
attributable to such Bank that are paid or payable by the Agent in connection
with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date
the Agent makes demand therefor. 

     (k) Each
party’s obligations under this Section 8.04 shall survive any assignment of
rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the resignation or replacement of the
Agent, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all other obligations under any Loan Document, subject to Section
8.03(d). 

     (l) If the
Agent or a Bank, including any Issuing Bank, determines, in its sole discretion,
that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has
been indemnified by the Company or with respect to which the Company has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.04, it shall pay over such refund
to Company (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by the Company under this Section 8.04 with respect to the Taxes
or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
with respect to such refund of the Agent or such Bank and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund); provided that the Company,
upon the request of the Agent or such Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over
to the Company (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Bank in the event the
Agent or such Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. This Section 8.04(l) shall not be construed to require the Agent or
any Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to
its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Company or any other
Person.

45 

     Section 8.05. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Fixed
Rate Loans. If (a) the obligation
of any Bank to make, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or to,
Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (b) any Bank
has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04 with respect to its
Euro-Dollar Loans and the Company shall, by at least five Euro-Dollar Business
Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Agent, have elected that the
provisions of this Section 8.05 shall apply to such Bank, then, all Loans which
would otherwise be made by such Bank as (or continued as or converted to)
Euro-Dollar Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans (on which interest
and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Fixed Rate
Loans of the other Banks). If such Bank notifies the Company that the
circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no
longer exist, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall be
converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan on the first day of the next succeeding
Interest Period applicable to the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks.

     Section
8.06. Mitigation Obligations;
Replacement of Banks. (a) If any Bank, including any Issuing Bank, requests
compensation under Section 8.03, or if the Company is required to pay any
additional amount to any Bank, including any Issuing Bank, or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Bank, including any Issuing Bank, pursuant to
Section 8.04, then such Bank will designate a different Applicable Lending
Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in
the judgment of such Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or
reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.03 or Section 8.04, as the case may
be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Bank to any unreimbursed cost
or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank. The Company
hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in
connection with any such designation or assignment. 

     (b) If any
Bank, including any Issuing Bank, requests compensation under Section 8.03, or
if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Bank, including
any Issuing Bank, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank,
including any Issuing Bank, pursuant to Section 8.04, or if any Bank becomes a
Defaulting Bank or an Affected Bank or invokes Section 8.02, or if any Bank
shall refuse to consent to any waiver, amendment or other modification that
would otherwise require such Bank’s consent but to which the Required Banks have
consented, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to
such Bank and the Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 9.06), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to
an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that (i) in the
case of any such assignment to a Person that is not a Bank, the Company shall
have received the prior written consent of the Agent and the Issuing Bank, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld and (ii) such Bank shall have
received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans
and funded participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Company or the relevant Company (in the case of all other amounts).

Miscellaneous

     Section 9.01. Notices. (a) All notices,
requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing
(including bank wire, telex, facsimile transmission or similar writing) and
shall be given to such party: (x) in the case of the Company or the Agent, at
its address, facsimile number or telex number set forth on the signature pages
hereof, (y) in the case of any Bank, at its address, facsimile number or telex
number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or (z) in the case of any
party, such other address, facsimile number or telex number as such party may
hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Agent and the Company. Each
such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by
telex, when such telex is transmitted to the telex number specified in this
Section 9.01 and the appropriate answerback is received, (ii) if given by
facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the facsimile number specified in
this Section 9.01 and confirmation of receipt is received, (iii) if given by
mail, 72 hours after such communication is deposited in the mails with first
class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid or (iv) if given by any other
means, when delivered at the address specified in this Section 9.01;
provided that notices to the Agent under Article 2 or
Article 8 shall not be effective until received. 

     (b) Notices and other communications to the Banks hereunder may be delivered
or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the
Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices
pursuant to Article 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Agent and the applicable
Bank. The Agent or the Company may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices
and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant
to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of
such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

     Section
9.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Agent or any Bank in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder or under any Note or under any Letters of Credit
shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise
thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall
be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

     Section
9.03. Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the
Agent, including fees and disbursements of special counsel for the Agent, in
connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement, any waiver
or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default
hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Agent and each Bank (including any Issuing Bank),
including (without duplication) the fees and disbursements of outside counsel
and the allocated cost of inside counsel, in connection with such Event of
Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings
resulting therefrom. 

     (b) The
Company agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Bank (including any Issuing
Bank), their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers,
agents and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be
incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative
or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a
party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any actual or proposed use of any proceeds of any Loans or Letters
of Credit hereunder; provided that no
Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for such
Indemnitee’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach by such
Indemnitee of any obligations hereunder, in each case as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction. The Company shall not be liable for any compromise or
settlement entered into by an indemnified person without its consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Promptly after the receipt by the
indemnified person of notice of its involvement in any investigative,
administrative or judicial proceeding, such indemnified person shall, if a claim
in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this indemnification,
notify the Company in writing of such involvement, unless prohibited by
applicable law or regulations or if requested by any governmental agency or
other regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory organization having,
or claiming to have jurisdiction), but failure so to notify the Company shall
not relieve the Company from any liability which it may otherwise have to the
indemnified person under this indemnification except to the extent that the
Company actually suffers prejudice as a result of such failure.

47 

     Section 9.04. Sharing of Set-offs. Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising
any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then due with
respect to the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities held by it which is
greater than the proportion received by any other Bank in respect of the
aggregate amount of principal and interest then due with respect to the Loans
and Letter of Credit Liabilities held by such other Bank, the Bank receiving
such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the
Loans held by the other Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may
be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to
the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities held by the Banks shall be shared by
the Banks pro rata; provided that nothing in
this Section 9.04 shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of
set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such
exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Company other than its
indebtedness hereunder. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a
Loan or Letter of Credit Liability, if acquired pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements or if the Company has otherwise received notice of the granting of
such participation, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other
rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a
participation were a direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such
participation. 

     Section
9.05. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may
be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and
is signed by the Company and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of
any Issuing Bank or the Agent are affected thereby, by the Agent);
provided that no such amendment or waiver shall (a) unless
signed by each Bank affected by such amendment or waiver, (i) increase or
decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the
Commitments of all Banks) or subject any Bank to any additional obligation, (ii)
reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or the amount to be
reimbursed in respect of any Letter of Credit or any interest thereon, or any
fees hereunder (other than any fees referred to in Section 2.09(b)(ii) or
Section 2.18(b)(ii) which may be mutually agreed between the Company and the
Issuing Bank from time to time) or (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment
of principal of or interest on any Loan or for reimbursement in respect of any
Letter of Credit or any fees hereunder or for the termination of any Commitment,
or (except as expressly provided in Section 2.18) the expiry date of any Letter
of Credit or (b) unless signed by all Banks (other than a Defaulting Bank),
change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of the Loans, or the number of Banks which shall be required for the
Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section 9.05 or any other
provision of this Agreement. 

     Section
9.06. 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,
except that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Banks.

48 

    
(b) Any Bank may at any time grant to
one or more banks or other institutions (each a “Participant”)
participating interests in its Commitment, including all or a portion of its
Loans and/or Letter of Credit Liabilities at the time owing to it. In the event
of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant,
whether or not upon notice to the Company and the Agent, such Bank shall remain
responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Company
and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in
connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest
shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to
enforce the obligations of the Company hereunder including, without limitation,
the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide
that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this
Agreement described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 9.05 without the
consent of the Participant. The Company agrees that each Participant shall, to
the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits
of Article 8 with respect to its participating interest; provided the
Participant complies with the obligations of Sections 8.04(d), (e), (f), (g) and
(h) as if it were a Bank (it being understood that the documentation required
shall be delivered to the selling Bank and, if required by law for reduced
withholding, copies shall be delivered to the Company and the Agent). An
assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d)
below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of
a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b). Each
Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the
name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated
interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under
the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no
Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant
Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any
information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans,
letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to
the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment,
loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section
5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or, if different, under
Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error, and
such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant
Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 

     (c) Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more
banks or other institutions (each an “Assignee”) all, or a
proportionate part (equivalent to an initial Commitment of not less than
$5,000,000) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and its Note, and
such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit G
hereto executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank, with (and subject to)
the consent of the Issuing Bank, the Agent and (so long as no Event of Default
exists) of the Company, such consents of the Company, the Agent and Issuing Bank
not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that, (i) if an
Assignee is an Approved Fund, an affiliate of such transferor Bank or was a Bank
immediately before such assignment, no consent of the Company shall be required
and (ii) the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment
unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within ten
Domestic Business Days after having received notice thereof, and provided further that such assignment may, but need not, include
rights of the transferor Bank in respect of outstanding Competitive Bid Loans.
Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to
such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between
such transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to
this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a
Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor
Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent,
and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the
consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the Agent shall
record in the Register the information relating to such assignment, and the
transferor Bank, the Agent and the Company shall make appropriate arrangements
so that, if the underlying Note is outstanding, a new Note is issued to the
Assignee. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless
it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. In
connection with any such assignment, the transferor Bank shall pay to the Agent
an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. If
the Assignee is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America
or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the Company and the Agent certification
as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal
income Taxes in accordance with Section 8.04. The Agent, acting solely for this
purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its
offices in New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered
to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each
Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest
error, and the Company, the Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available
for inspection by the Company and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time
to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

49 

     (d) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion
of its rights under this Agreement and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank. No
such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations
hereunder. 

     (e) No
Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights shall be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or 8.04 than such Bank would
have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless
such transfer is made with the Company’s prior written consent or by reason of
the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 requiring such Bank to designate a
different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time
when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

     Section
9.07. Designated Banks. (a) Subject to the provisions of this subsection
(a), any Bank may at any time designate an Eligible Designee to provide all or a
portion of the Loans to be made by such Bank pursuant to this Agreement;
provided that such designation shall not be effective
unless the Company and the Agent consent thereto (which consents shall not be
unreasonably withheld). When a Bank and its Eligible Designee shall have signed
an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (a “Designation Agreement”) and the Company and the Agent shall have signed
their respective consents thereto, such Eligible Designee shall become a
Designated Bank for purposes of this Agreement. The Designating Bank shall
thereafter have the right to permit such Designated Bank to provide all or a
portion of the Loans to be made by such Designating Bank pursuant to Section
2.01 or 2.03, and the making of such Loans or portion thereof shall satisfy the
obligation of the Designating Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Loans or
portion thereof were made by the Designating Bank. As to any Loans or portion
thereof made by it, each Designated Bank shall have all the rights that a Bank
making such Loans or portion thereof would have had under this Agreement and
otherwise; provided that (x) its
voting rights under this Agreement shall be exercised solely by its Designating
Bank and (y) its Designating Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such Designated Bank’s obligations under
this Agreement, including its obligations in respect of the Loans or portion
thereof made by it. No additional Note shall be required to evidence the Loans
or portion thereof made by a Designated Bank; and the Designating Bank shall be
deemed to hold its Note as agent for its Designated Bank to the extent of the
Loans or portion thereof funded by such Designated Bank. Each Designating Bank
shall act as administrative agent for its Designated Bank and give and receive
notices and other communications on its behalf. Any payments for the account of
any Designated Bank shall be paid to its Designating Bank as administrative
agent for such Designated Bank and neither the Company nor the Agent shall be
responsible for any Designating Bank’s application of such payments. In
addition, any Designated Bank may, with notice to (but without the prior written
consent of) the Company and the Agent, (i) assign all or portions of its
interest in any Loans to its Designating Bank or to any financial institutions
consented to by the Company and the Agent that provide liquidity and/or credit
facilities to or for the account of such Designated Bank to support the funding
of Loans or portions thereof made by it and (ii) disclose on a confidential
basis pursuant to a confidentiality agreement satisfactory in form and substance
to the Company any non-public information relating to its Loans or portions
thereof to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any
guarantee, surety, credit or liquidity enhancement to such Designated Bank.

50 

     (b) Each
party to this Agreement agrees that it will not institute against, or join any
other person in instituting against, any Designated Bank any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar proceeding under any federal or
state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and a day after all outstanding
senior indebtedness of such Designated Bank is paid in full. The Designating
Bank for each Designated Bank agrees to indemnify, save, and hold harmless each
other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage and expense arising out of its
inability to institute any such proceeding against such Designated Bank. This
subsection (b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

     (c) Each
Bank that designates a Designated Bank to provide all or a portion of the Loans
to be made by such Bank pursuant to this Agreement shall, acting solely for this
purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it
enters the name and address of each Designated Bank and the principal amounts
(and stated interest) of each Designated Bank’s interest in the Loans or other
obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Designated Bank Register”); provided that no Bank
shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Designated Bank
Register to any Person (including the identity of any Designated Bank or any
information relating to a Designated Bank’s interest in any commitments, loans,
or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such
disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other
obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States
Treasury Regulations or, if different, under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the
Internal Revenue Code. The entries in the Designated Bank Register shall be
conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error, and such Bank shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Designated Bank Register as the owner of
such Loan for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary. 

     Section
9.08. Collateral. Each of the Banks represents to the Agent and each of the other Banks
that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in
Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit
provided for in this Agreement. 

     Section
9.09. Governing Law; Submission to
Jurisdiction. This Agreement and
each Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York. The Company hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction
of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of
any New York State court sitting in New York City, for purposes of all legal
proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby. The Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that
any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient
forum. 

     Section
9.10. Counterparts; Integration.
This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall
be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto
were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
and understanding among the parties hereto and, except as expressly provided in
the Commitment Letter or in the Fee Letters, supersedes any and all prior
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof. 

51 

     Section
9.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH
OF THE COMPANY, THE AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

     Section
9.12. Confidentiality. Each of
the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks agree to maintain the confidentiality
of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed
(a) to their and their affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents,
including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood
that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority
(including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party
to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder

of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12 (in the case of the
following clauses (i) and (ii)), (i) to any assignee of or Participant in, or
any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement, (ii) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in
swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long
as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual
counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.12) or (iii)
to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar
organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to
information about a Bank’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings
issues with respect to such Bank, (g) with the consent of the Company or (h) to
the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section 9.12 or (ii) becomes available to the Agent,
the Issuing Bank or any Bank on a non-confidential basis from a source other
than the Company. For the purposes of this Section 9.12, “Information” means all information received directly or indirectly from the Company
relating to the Company, the Acquired Entity or their respective businesses,
other than any such information that is available to the Agent, the Issuing Bank
or any Bank on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company.

     Section
9.13. USA Patriot Act. Each Bank that is subject to the requirements of
the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of
the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the Company, which information includes the name and address of the
Company and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Company
in accordance with the Patriot Act. 

     Section
9.14. No Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of each
transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment,
waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Company
acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its affiliates’ understanding that
(i)(A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the
Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners and the

on the one hand, and the Agent and Bank Parties, on the other hand, (B) the
Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to
the extent it has deemed appropriate and (C) the Company is capable of
evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the

of the Agent and Bank Parties is and has been acting solely as a principal and,

Parties has any obligation to the Company or any of its affiliates with respect

SCHEDULE 2.01 

PRICING SCHEDULE 

     The
“Base Rate Margin,” “Euro-Dollar Margin” and “Facility Fee
Rate” for any day are the respective rates
per annum set forth below in the applicable row and column corresponding to the
Pricing Level that apply on such day: 

	Pricing	Level I	Level II	Level III	Level IV	Level V
	Base Rate Margin	-	-	-	-	0.10%
	Euro-Dollar Margin	0.68%	0.795%	0.90%	1.00%	1.10%
	Facility Fee Rate	0.07%	0.08%	0.10%	0.125%	0.15%

    
For purposes of this Pricing Schedule, the following terms have the
following meanings: 

    
“Level I Pricing” applies on any day if on such day the Company’s unsecured
long-term debt securities are rated A+ or higher by S&P or A1 or higher by Moody’s.

    
“Level II Pricing” applies on any day if on such day Level I Pricing does not
apply and the Company’s unsecured long-term debt securities are rated A or
higher by S&P or A2 or higher by Moody’s. 

    
“Level III Pricing” applies on any day if on such day Level II Pricing does not
apply and the Company’s unsecured long-term debt securities are rated A- or
higher by S&P or A3 or higher by Moody’s. 

    
“Level IV Pricing” applies on any day if on such day Level III Pricing does not
apply and the Company’s unsecured long-term debt securities are rated BBB+ or
higher by S&P or Baa1 or higher by Moody’s. 

    
“Level V Pricing” applies on any day if on such day no lower Pricing Level
applies. 

    
“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and its successors. 

    
“Pricing Level” refers to the determination of which of Level I Pricing,
Level II Pricing, Level III Pricing, Level IV Pricing or Level V Pricing
applies. Level I Pricing is the lowest Pricing Level and Level V Pricing the
highest. 

    
“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and its successors.

    
The credit ratings to be utilized for purposes of this Pricing Schedule
are those assigned to the senior unsecured long-term debt securities of the
Company without third-party credit enhancement, and any rating assigned to any
other debt security of the Company shall be disregarded. The credit ratings in
effect on any day are those in effect at the close of business on such day. If
the Company is split-rated and the ratings differential is one notch, the higher
of the two ratings will apply (e.g., A+/A2 results in Level I
Pricing). If the Company is split-rated and the ratings differential is more
than one notch, the average of the two ratings (or the higher of two
intermediate ratings) shall be used (e.g., A/Baa1 results in Level III
Pricing, as does A/Baa2). If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall
change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of
rating corporate debt obligations, the Company and the Banks shall negotiate in
good faith to amend the related definition in this Pricing Schedule to reflect
such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating
agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the rating shall be
determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such
change or cessation.

(b) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing, 

    
(c) whether the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to bear interest

(d) in
the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, the duration of the initial Interest Period
applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest
Period. 

    
Section 2.03. Competitive Bid
Borrowings. (a) The Competitive Bid Option. In
addition to Committed Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.01, the Company may, as
set forth in this Section 2.03, request the Banks during the Revolving Credit
Period to make offers to make Competitive Bid Loans to the Company. The Banks

shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in
this Section 2.03. 

13

     (b) Competitive Bid Quote Request. When
the Company wishes to request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans under this

Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to the date of Borrowing proposed therein, in the
case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) the Domestic Business Day next preceding the date
of Borrowing proposed therein, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in
either case, such other time or date as the Company and the Agent shall have
mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later than the date of
the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate
Auction for which such change is to be effective) specifying: 

    
(i) the proposed date of Borrowing, which shall be a Euro-Dollar Business Day
in the case of a LIBOR Auction or a Domestic Business Day in the case of an
Absolute Rate Auction, 

    
(ii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing, which shall be $10,000,000 or a
larger multiple of $1,000,000, 

    
(iii) the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the
provisions of the definition of Interest Period, and 

    
(iv) whether the Competitive Bid Quotes requested are to set forth a

The Company may request offers to make
Competitive Bid Loans for more than one Interest Period in a single Competitive
Bid Quote Request. No Competitive Bid Quote Request shall be given within five
Euro-Dollar Business Days (or such other number of days as the Company and the
Agent may agree) of any other Competitive Bid Quote Request. 

    
(c) Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes.
Promptly upon receipt of a Competitive Bid Quote Request, the Agent shall send
to the Banks by telex or facsimile transmission an Invitation for Competitive
Bid Quotes substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, which shall constitute
an invitation by the Company to each Bank to submit Competitive Bid Quotes
offering to make the Competitive Bid Loans to which such Competitive Bid Quote
Request relates in accordance with this Section 2.03. 

    
(d) Submission and Contents of Competitive Bid Quotes. (i) Each Bank may submit a Competitive Bid Quote containing
an offer or offers to make Competitive Bid Loans in response to any Invitation
for Competitive Bid Quotes. Each Competitive Bid Quote must comply with the
requirements of this subsection (d) and must be submitted to the Agent by telex
or facsimile transmission at its offices specified in or pursuant to Section
9.01 not later than (x) 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the fourth Euro-Dollar
Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR
Auction or (y) 9:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed date of Borrowing,
in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or
date as the Company and the Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have
notified to the Banks not later than the date of the Competitive Bid Quote
Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such
change is to be effective); provided that Competitive Bid Quotes
submitted by the Agent (or any affiliate of the Agent) in the capacity of a Bank
may be submitted, and may only be submitted, if the Agent or such affiliate
notifies the Company of the terms of the offer or offers contained therein not
later than (x) one hour prior to the deadline for the other Banks, in the case
of a LIBOR Auction or (y) 15 minutes prior to the deadline for the other Banks,
in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction. Subject to Articles 3 and 6, any
Competitive Bid Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the written
consent of the Agent given on the instructions of the Company. 

14

     (ii) Each Competitive Bid Quote shall be in substantially the form
of Exhibit D hereto and shall in any case specify: 

     (A)
the proposed date of Borrowing, 

     (B)
the principal amount of the Competitive Bid Loan
for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount (w) may be
greater than or less than the Commitment of the quoting Bank, (x) must be
$5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, (y) may not exceed the principal
amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers were requested and (z) may be
subject to an aggregate limitation as to the principal amount of Competitive Bid
Loans for which offers being made by such quoting Bank may be accepted,

     (C)
in the case of a LIBOR Auction, the margin above
or below the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate (the “Competitive Bid Margin”)
offered for each such Competitive Bid Loan, expressed as a percentage (specified
to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) to be added to or subtracted from such base
rate, 

     (D)
in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the rate
of interest per annum (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) (the
“Competitive Bid Absolute Rate”) offered for each such Competitive Bid Loan, and 

     (E)
the identity of the quoting Bank. 

A Competitive Bid Quote may set forth
up to five separate offers by the quoting Bank with respect to each Interest
Period specified in the related Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes.

     (iii)
Any Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded if
it: 

     (A)
is not substantially in conformity with Exhibit D
hereto or does not specify all of the information required by subsection
(d)(ii); 

     (B)
contains qualifying, conditional or similar
language; 

     (C)
proposes terms other than or in addition to those
set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes; or

     (D)
arrives after the time set forth in subsection
(d)(i). 

    
(e) Notice to Company. The Agent shall
promptly notify the Company of the terms (x) of any Competitive Bid Quote
submitted by a Bank that is in accordance with subsection (d) and (y) of any
Competitive Bid Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a
previous Competitive Bid Quote submitted by such Bank with respect to the same
Competitive Bid Quote Request. Any such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote shall
be disregarded by the Agent unless such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote is
submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Competitive Bid
Quote. The Agent’s notice to the Company shall specify (i) the aggregate
principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers have been received
for each Interest Period specified in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request,
(ii) the respective principal amounts and Competitive Bid Margins or Competitive
Bid Absolute Rates, as the case may be, so offered and (iii) if applicable,
limitations on the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which
offers in any single Competitive Bid Quote may be accepted. 

15

     (f) Acceptance and Notice by Company. Not
later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) on (x) the third Euro-Dollar Business
Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or
(y) the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or,
in either case, such other time or date as the Company and the Agent shall have
mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later than the date of
the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate
Auction for which such change is to be effective), the Company shall notify the
Agent of its acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers so notified to it
pursuant to subsection (e). In the case of acceptance, such notice (a
“Notice of Competitive Bid
Borrowing”) shall specify the aggregate
principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. A failure
by the Company to notify the Agent as aforesaid shall constitute non-acceptance
of the offers so notified to it. The Company may accept any Competitive Bid
Quote in whole or in part; provided that: 

     (i)
the aggregate principal amount of each
Competitive Bid Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the
related Competitive Bid Quote Request, 

     (ii)
the principal amount of each Competitive Bid
Borrowing must be $10,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, 

     (iii)
acceptance of offers may only be made on the
basis of ascending Competitive Bid Margins or Competitive Bid Absolute Rates, as
the case may be,

     (iv)
the Company may not accept any offer that is
described in subsection (d)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the
requirements of this Agreement, and 

     (v)
immediately after such Competitive Bid Borrowing
is made the Total Outstanding Amount shall not exceed the aggregate amount of
the Commitments. 

    
(g) Allocation by Agent. If offers are
made by two or more Banks with the same Competitive Bid Margins or Competitive
Bid Absolute Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount
than the amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related
Interest Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of
which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Agent among such Banks
as nearly as possible (in multiples of $1,000,000, as the Agent may deem
appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers.
Determinations by the Agent of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

    
Section 2.04. Notice to Banks; Funding of Loans. (a)
Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank
of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s share (if any) of such Borrowing and
such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Company.

    
(b) Not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of each
Borrowing, each Bank participating therein shall make available its share of
such Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York
City, to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01. Unless the Agent
determines that any applicable condition specified in Article 3 has not been
satisfied, the Agent will make the funds so received from the Banks available to
the Company at the Agent’s aforesaid address. 

16

    
(c) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date
of any Borrowing (or, in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, prior to 12:00 Noon
(New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing) that such Bank will not make
available to the Agent such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume
that such Bank has made such share available to the Agent on the date of such
Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.04 and the Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company on such
date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have
so made such share available to the Agent, such Bank and the Company severally
agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to the Company until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at
(i) in the case of the Company, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the
Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section
2.07 and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank
shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall
constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this
Agreement. 

    
Section 2.05. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Company to
such Bank resulting from each Loan made by such Bank, including the amounts of
principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time
hereunder. 

    
(b) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (a) of
this Section 2.05 shall be prima
facie evidence of the existence and amounts
of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Bank
to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect
the obligation of the Company to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. 

    
(c) The Company agrees that, upon the request to the Agent by any Bank, the
Company will promptly execute and deliver to such Bank a Note. 

    
Section 2.06. Maturity of Loans. (a) Each Committed Loan shall mature, and the principal
amount thereof shall be due and payable (together with interest accrued thereon)
on the Maturity Date. 

    
(b) Each Competitive Bid Loan shall mature, and the principal amount thereof
shall be due and payable (together with accrued interest thereon) on the last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

    
Section 2.07. Interest Rates. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is
made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate
Margin and the Base Rate for such day. Such interest shall be payable at
maturity, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and, with respect
to the principal amount of any Base Rate Loan that is prepaid or converted to a
Euro-Dollar Loan, on the date of such prepayment or conversion. Any overdue
principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest, payable on
demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus
the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day. 

    
(b) Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at
a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Euro-Dollar Margin for such day plus
the London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Interest Period. Such
interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and,
if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three
months after the first day thereof. 

    
(c) Any overdue principal of or interest on any Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear
interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal
to the sum of 2% plus the Euro-Dollar Margin for such day plus the London
Interbank Offered Rate applicable to the Interest Period for such Loan (or, if
the circumstances described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.01 shall exist, at
a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans for such day). 

17

     (d) Subject to Section 8.01(a), each Competitive Bid LIBOR Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period
applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the London Interbank
Offered Rate for such Interest Period (determined in accordance with Section
2.07(b) as if the related Competitive Bid LIBOR Borrowing were a Committed
Euro-Dollar Borrowing) plus (or minus) the Competitive Bid Margin quoted by the
Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03. Each Competitive Bid
Absolute Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal
to the Competitive Bid Absolute Rate quoted by the Bank making such Loan in
accordance with Section 2.03. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest
Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three
months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof. Any overdue
principal of or interest on any Competitive Bid Loan shall bear interest,
payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum
of 2% plus the Base Rate for such day. 

    
(e) The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans
hereunder. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Company and the
participating Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its
determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

    
Section 2.08. Method of Electing Interest
Rates. (a) The Loans included in each
Committed Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified
by the Company in the applicable Notice of Committed Borrowing. Thereafter, the
Company may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest
rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject to Section 2.08(d) and the provisions
of Article 8), as follows: 

     (i)
if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Company
may elect to convert such Loans to Euro-Dollar Loans as of any Euro-Dollar
Business Day; and 

     (ii)
if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Company
may elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or continue such Loans as
Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, in each case as of the last
day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. 

Each such election shall be made by
delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest
Rate Election”) to the Agent not later than
12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Euro-Dollar Business Day before the
conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. A Notice
of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of
the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such
portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group and (ii) the
portion to which such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does
not apply, are each at least $10,000,000 (unless such portion is comprised of
Base Rate Loans). If no such notice is timely received before the end of an
Interest Period for any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans, the Company shall be deemed
to have elected that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Group of Loans be
continued as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period of one month
(subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period). 

    
(b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify: 

     (i)
the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which
such notice applies; 

     (ii)
the date on which the conversion or continuation
selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the
applicable clause of Section 2.08(a); 

18

     (iii) if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the
new type of Loans and, if the Loans resulting from such conversion are to be
Euro-Dollar Loans, the duration of the next succeeding Interest Period
applicable thereto; and 

     (iv)
if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar
Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional
Interest Period. 

Each Interest Period specified in a
Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the
definition of Interest Period. 

    
(c) Promptly after receiving a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the
Company pursuant to Section 2.08(a), the Agent shall notify each Bank of the
contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the
Company. 

    
(d) The Company shall not be entitled to elect to convert any Committed Loans
to, or continue any Committed Loans for an additional Interest Period as,
Euro-Dollar Loans if (i) the aggregate principal amount of any Group of
Euro-Dollar Loans created or continued as a result of such election would be
less than $10,000,000 or (ii) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing
when the Company delivers notice of such election to the Agent. 

    
(e) If
any Committed Loan is converted to a different type of Loan, the Company shall
pay, on the date of such conversion, the interest accrued to such date on the
principal amount being converted. 

    
Section 2.09. Facility Fee. (a) The Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of
the Banks ratably a facility fee at the Facility Fee Rate. Such facility fee
shall accrue (i) from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the
Termination Date (or earlier date of termination of the Commitments in their
entirety), on the daily aggregate amount of the Commitments (whether used or
unused) and (ii) from and including the Termination Date or such earlier date of
termination to but excluding the date the Loans shall be repaid in their
entirety, on the daily Total Outstanding Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, if
the Maturity Date is extended pursuant to Section 2.21, the facility fee shall
cease to accrue on and after the Termination Date. 

    
(b) [Reserved] 

    
(c) Accrued fees under this Section 2.09 shall be payable quarterly in
arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, and upon the date of termination of the
Commitments in their entirety (and, if later, the date the Loans shall be repaid
in their entirety). 

    
Section 2.10. Optional Termination or Reduction of
Commitments. During the Revolving Credit
Period, the Company may, upon at least three Domestic Business Days’ notice to
the Agent, (i) terminate the Commitments at any time, if no Loans are
outstanding at such time or (ii) ratably (except as otherwise provided in
Section 2.20) reduce from time to time by an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or
any larger multiple thereof, the aggregate amount of the Commitments in excess
of the Total Outstanding Amount. Commitments terminated or reduced pursuant to
this Section 2.10 may not be reinstated. 

    
Section 2.11. Scheduled Termination of
Commitments. The Commitments shall terminate
on the Termination Date. 

    
Section 2.12. Optional Prepayments. (a) Subject in the case of any Euro-Dollar Loans to Section
2.14, the Company may (i) upon at least one Domestic Business Day’s notice to
the Agent, prepay any Group of Base Rate Loans (or any Competitive Bid Borrowing
bearing interest at the Base Rate pursuant to Section 8.01(a)) or (ii) upon at
least three Euro-Dollar Business Days’ notice to the Agent, prepay any Group of
Euro-Dollar Loans, in each case in whole at any time, or from time to time in
part in amounts aggregating $10,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, by
paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon
to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to
prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks included in such Group (or
Borrowing), except as otherwise provided in Section 2.20. 

19

     (b) Except as provided in Section 2.12(a), the Company may not prepay all or
any portion of the principal amount of any Competitive Bid Loan prior to the
maturity thereof. 

    
(c) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.12, the
Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s
ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter
be revocable by the Company. 

    
Section 2.13. General Provisions as to Payments. (a)
The Company shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans
and of fees hereunder, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the
date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City,
to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01, without set-off or
counterclaim. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable share
of each such payment received by the Agent for the account of the Banks.
Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of
fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for
payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day.
Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans
shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for
payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business
Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in
which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar
Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the
Competitive Bid Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business
Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended
by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such
extended time. 

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

    
Section 2.14. Funding Losses. If the Company makes
any payment of principal with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan or any Fixed Rate
Loan is converted to a different type of Loan (whether such payment or
conversion is pursuant to Article 2, 6 or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or the last day of an
applicable period fixed pursuant to Section 2.07(c), or if the Company fails to
borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Fixed Rate Loans after notice has been
given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.04(a), 2.08(c) or 2.12(c), the
Company shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after demand for any resulting
loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective Participant in
the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in
obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding
loss of margin for the period after any such payment or conversion or failure to
borrow, prepay, convert or continue; provided
that such Bank shall have delivered to the
Company a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense, which
certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

20

     Section 2.15. Computation
of Interest and Fees. Interest based on the
Prime Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or
366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and
fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the
actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day). 

    
Section 2.16. Regulation D
Compensation. Each Bank may require the
Company to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on the
Euro-Dollar Loans, additional interest on the related Euro-Dollar Loan of such
Bank at a rate per annum determined by such Bank up to but not exceeding the
excess of (i) (A) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate divided by (B)
one minus
the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable London Interbank
Offered Rate. Any Bank wishing to require payment of such additional interest
(x) shall so notify the Company and the Agent, in which case such additional
interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans of such Bank shall be payable to such Bank at
the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period
commencing at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days after the giving of such
notice and (y) shall notify the Company at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days
prior to each date on which interest is payable on the Euro-Dollar Loans of the
amount then due it under this Section 2.16. 

    
Section 2.17. [Reserved] 

     Section 2.18. [Reserved] 

     Section 2.19. [Reserved] 

    
Section 2.20. Defaulting Banks.
If any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then
the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting
Bank: 

    
(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of
such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.09(a); 

    
(b) the Commitment and Loans of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in
determining whether the Required Banks have taken or may take any action
hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification
permitted to be effected by the Required Banks pursuant to Section 9.05);

    
(c) [Reserved] 

    
(d) [Reserved] 

    
(e) Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, the Company may
(i) (A) prepay, without penalty or premium (but subject to Section 2.14), the
Loans made by an Affected Bank and (B) terminate the Commitment of an Affected
Bank, in each case, (x) without pro rata prepayment of Loans of other Banks or
pro rata termination of Commitments of other Banks and (y) upon not less than
two Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent (which will promptly notify the
Banks thereof) or (ii) replace the Affected Bank in accordance with Section
8.06(b), it being understood that such prepayment and termination, or such
replacement, will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the
Company or the Agent may have against such Affected Bank. 

21

     (f) [Reserved]; and 

    
(g) Nothing in this Section 2.20 shall affect any rights or remedies the
Company may have against any Defaulting Bank. 

    
Section 2.21. Extension of Maturity Date. The
Company may, by written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy
of such notice to each of the Banks) not less than 30 days prior to the
Termination Date, request that the Banks extend the Maturity Date to the date

Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of the Maturity Date
pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall become effective unless (a) the
representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement (other

Loans as of such date shall be the first anniversary of the Termination Date.

Subsidiaries before any court or arbitrator or any Governmental Authority, in

relating thereto, as amended, and (b) the Patriot Act. No part of the proceeds
of the Loans shall be used by the Company, directly or indirectly, for any

the net proceeds of the sale of the property leased pursuant to such Sale and
Lease-Back Transaction or (y) the fair value of such property at the time of
entering into such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, as determined by the board
of directors of the Company (or a duly authorized committee thereof), in either
case divided first by the number of full years of the term of the lease and then

determination, without regard to any renewal or extension options contained in

representation or warranty made by the Company (i) in Article 4 or (ii) pursuant
to Section 3.03 on the date of any Borrowing shall prove to have been incorrect
in any material respect when made (or deemed made); 

    
(d) the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall fail to pay the principal of or
interest on Material Debt when due, or within any applicable grace period, in

hereby waived by the Company; provided that in the case
of any of the Events of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) above, without
any notice to the Company or any other act by the Agent or the Banks, the

promptly upon being requested to do so by any Bank and shall thereupon notify
all the Banks thereof. 

ARTICLE 7

THE
AGENT 

    
Section 7.01. Appointment and Authorization. Each
Bank irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent
on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the Notes as
are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all
such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, none of the Lead Arrangers, Bookrunners, Syndication
Agent or Co-Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any
powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent or a Bank
hereunder. 

    
Section 7.02. Agent and Affiliates. JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A. shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any
other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it
were not the Agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and its affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with
the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company as if it were not the
Agent hereunder. 

    
Section 7.03. Action by Agent. The obligations of
the Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to take any
action with respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article 6.

    
Section 7.04. Consultation with Experts. The Agent
may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent
public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. 

    
Section 7.05. Liability of Agent. Neither the Agent
nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers,
agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in
connection herewith (a) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks
or, when expressly required hereby, all the Banks or (b) in the absence of its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Agent nor any of its
affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees
shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this
Agreement or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any
of the covenants or agreements of the Company; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article 3,
except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Agent; or (iv) the
validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the Notes or any other
instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. The Agent shall not
incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate,
statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex, facsimile
transmission or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by
the proper party or parties. 

32 

     Section
7.06.
Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitment, indemnify
the Agent, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and
employees, to the extent acting on behalf of the Agent and to the extent not
reimbursed by the Company, against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and
disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result
from such indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such
indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any action
taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder or thereunder. 

    
Section 7.07. Credit Decision. Each Bank
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or
any other Bank, 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 Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

    
Section 7.08. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign
at any time by giving 30 days’ notice thereof to the Banks and the Company. Upon
any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a
successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the
Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after
the retiring Agent gives notice of resignation (such 30-day period, the
“Bank Appointment Period”), then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks,
appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or
licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof
and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights
and duties of the retiring Agent. In addition and without any obligation on the
part of the retiring Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Banks, a successor
Agent, the retiring Agent may at any time following the occurrence of an Agent
Resignation Event and upon or after the end of the Bank Appointment Period
notify the Company and the Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted
appointment as successor Agent and the effective date of such retiring Agent’s
resignation, which effective date shall be no earlier than three Domestic
Business Days after the date of such notice. Upon the resignation effective date
established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Agent has been
appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall
nonetheless become effective and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations as Agent hereunder. After any retiring Agent’s
resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 7 shall inure to
its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Agent. 

    
Section 7.09. Agent’s Fee. The Company shall pay to
the Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously
agreed upon between the Company and the Agent. 

33 

ARTICLE 8

CHANGE IN
CIRCUMSTANCES 

    
Section 8.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for
any Fixed Rate Loans: 

     (a) the Agent determines that (i) deposits in dollars (in the applicable
amounts) are not generally available in the relevant market for such Interest
Period or (ii) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Dollar
Rate, or 

    
(b) in
the case of Euro-Dollar Loans, Banks having 50% or more of the aggregate amount
of the Commitments advise the Agent that the London Interbank Offered Rate as
determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Banks of funding their Euro-Dollar Loans for such Interest Period, 

the Agent shall forthwith give notice
thereof to the Company and the Banks, whereupon until the Agent notifies the
Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist,
(i) the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to continue or
convert outstanding Loans as or into Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be suspended and
(ii) each outstanding Euro-Dollar Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan
on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless
the Company notifies the Agent at least two Domestic Business Days before the
date of any Fixed Rate Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously
been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, (i) if such Fixed Rate
Borrowing is a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a
Base Rate Borrowing and (ii) if such Fixed Rate Borrowing is a Competitive Bid
LIBOR Borrowing, the Competitive Bid LIBOR Loans comprising such Borrowing shall
bear interest for each day from and including the first day to but excluding the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto at the Base Rate for such
day. 

    
Section 8.02. Illegality. (a) If a Change in Law
shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending
Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans and such Bank shall so
notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other
Banks and the Company, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Company and the
Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the
obligation of such Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to convert outstanding
Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans or continue outstanding Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans,
shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this
Section 8.02, such Bank shall designate a different Euro-Dollar Lending Office
if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in
the sole judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

    
(b) If
such notice is given, each Euro-Dollar Loan of such Bank then outstanding shall
be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current
Interest Period applicable to such Euro-Dollar Loan if such Bank may lawfully
continue to maintain and fund such Loan as a Euro-Dollar Loan to such day or
(ii) immediately if such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue
to maintain and fund such Loan as a Euro-Dollar Loan to such day. Interest and
principal on any such Base Rate Loan shall be payable on the same dates as, and
on a pro rata basis with, the interest and principal payable on the related
Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks. 

    
Section 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a)
If a Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve
(including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any
Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Euro-Dollar
Reserve Percentage), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any
Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the London interbank market any
other condition affecting its Fixed Rate Loans, its Note or its obligation to
make Fixed Rate Loans and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining
any Fixed Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable
by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under
its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with
a copy to the Agent), the Company shall pay to such Bank such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction.

34 

     (b) If any
Bank shall have determined that a Change in Law has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a
consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which
such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking
into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after
demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Company shall pay to such
Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its
Parent) for such reduction. 

    
(c) If a
Change in Law shall subject any Bank to any taxes (other than Taxes imposed on
or with respect to any payment made by or on account of the Company hereunder or
under any Notes and Taxes described in clauses (a) through (e) of the definition
of Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other
obligations hereunder, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital
attributable thereto, and the result shall be to increase the cost to such Bank
of making or maintaining any Euro-Dollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation
to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable
by such Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Company will pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

    
(d) Each
Bank will promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event of which it has
knowledge, occurring after the Effective Date, which will entitle such Bank to
compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03 and will designate a different
Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce
the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole judgment of such
Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate of any Bank
claiming compensation under this Section 8.03 and setting forth the additional
amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods. Notwithstanding the foregoing subsections of
this Section 8.03, the Company shall only be obligated to compensate any Bank
for any amount arising or accruing during (i) any time or period commencing not
more than 90 days prior to the date on which such Bank notifies the Agent and
the Company that it proposes to demand such compensation and identifies to the
Agent and the Company the statute, regulation or other basis upon which the
claimed compensation is or will be based and (ii) any time or period during
which, because of the retroactive application of such statute, regulation or
other such basis, such Bank did not know that such amount would arise or accrue.

    
(e) Failure
or delay on the part of any Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
8.03 shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s right to demand such
compensation, as the case may be; provided that the Company shall not be
required to compensate a Bank pursuant to this Section 8.03 for any increased
costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Bank
notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided
further
that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

    
Section 8.04. Taxes. 

    
(a) Any and
all payments by the Company to or for the account of any Bank or the Agent
hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”), except as required by
applicable law. If the Company or the Agent (the “Withholding Agent”) shall be required by law to deduct any
Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any
Bank or the Agent, (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by
the Company shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section 8.04) such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been
required; (ii) such Withholding Agent shall make such deductions; (iii) such
Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) if the
Withholding Agent is the Company, such Company shall furnish to the Agent, at
its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence satisfactory to the Agent.

35 

     (b) In
addition, except to the extent attributable to a transfer under Section 9.06,
the Company agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary Taxes and
any other excise or property Taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise
from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or
delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note
(hereinafter referred to as “Other
Taxes”). 

    
(c) The
Company agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Agent for the full amount of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable
under this Section 8.04) paid by such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) and
any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or
with respect thereto; provided, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any party
hereunder pursuant to this Section 8.04 for penalties, interest or similar
liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto to the extent such
penalties, interest or similar liabilities are attributable to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct by such party. This indemnification shall be
paid within 15 days after such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) makes
written demand therefor. 

    
(d) Any
Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with
respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company
and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the
Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested
by the Company or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if
requested by the Company or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent
as will enable the Company or the Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is
subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information
reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such
documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 8.04(e), (f),
(g) and (h) below) shall not be required if in the Bank’s judgment such
completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or
commercial position of such Bank. 

    
(e) Without
limiting the foregoing, at the times indicated herein, each Bank organized under
the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall provide the Company
and the Agent with duly and accurately executed originals of Internal Revenue
Service form W-8BEN, W-8IMY (accompanied by a form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-9 and other
certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable) or W-8ECI (in
each case accompanied by any statements which may be required under applicable
Treasury regulations), as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Bank is entitled to receive
payments under this Agreement (i) without deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income Taxes or (ii) subject to a reduced rate of United States
federal withholding Tax, unless, in each case of clause (i) and (ii) of this
Section 8.04(e), an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty,
law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery
would otherwise be required which renders such forms inapplicable or which would
prevent the Bank from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect
to it and the Bank advises the Company and the Agent that it is not capable of
receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of such Taxes. Such
forms shall be provided (x) on or prior to the date of the Bank’s execution and
delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature
pages hereof, and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case
of each other Bank, and (y) on or before the date that such form expires or
becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
most recent form so delivered by the Bank. If the form provided by a Bank at the
time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States
interest withholding Tax rate in excess of zero or if at such time such Bank is
otherwise subject to a United States interest withholding Tax rate in excess of
zero, United States withholding Tax at such rate shall be considered “ Excluded
Taxes”, except to the extent the assignor of such Bank was entitled, at the time
of such assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Company with respect
to such withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 8.04(a). In addition, to the
extent that for reasons other than a change of treaty, law or regulation any
Bank becomes subject to an increased rate of United States interest withholding
Tax while it is a party to this Agreement, United States withholding Tax at such
increased rate shall be considered “ Excluded Taxes”. 

36 

     (f) Any
Bank that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Company and the Agent on or
prior to the date on which such Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and
from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Company or the Agent), duly
and accurately executed originals of Internal Revenue Service form W-9
certifying, to the extent such Bank is legally entitled to do so, that such Bank
is not subject to U.S. Federal backup withholding Tax. For the avoidance of
doubt, such Tax is an “Excluded Taxes”.

    
(g) If a
payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal
withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the
applicable requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b)
or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver
to the Company and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such
time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent such
documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section
1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation
reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as may be necessary for the
Company or the Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine
that such Bank has or has not complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA
or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for
the purposes of this Section 8.04(g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made
to FATCA after the date of this Agreement, whether or not included in the
definition of FATCA. 

    
(h) Each
Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or
becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or
certification or promptly notify the Company and the Agent in writing of its
legal inability to do so. 

    
(i) For any
period with respect to which a Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
outside the United States has failed to provide the Company and the Agent with
the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.04(e) (unless such failure is excused
by the terms of Section 8.04(e)), such Bank shall not be entitled to
indemnification under Section 8.04(a) or 8.04(c) with respect to Taxes imposed
by the United States; provided that if a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to
a reduced rate of withholding Tax, becomes subject to Taxes because of its
failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Company shall take such steps
as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes.

37 

     (j) Each
Bank shall severally indemnify the Agent for any Taxes and Excluded Taxes (but
only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Agent for
such Taxes and Excluded Taxes and without limiting the obligation, if any, of
the Company to do so), in each case attributable to such Bank that are paid or
payable by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall
be made within 15 days from the date the Agent makes demand therefor.

    
(k) Each
party’s obligations under this Section 8.04 shall survive any assignment of
rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the resignation or replacement of the
Agent, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all other obligations under any Loan Document, subject to Section
8.03(d). 

    
(l) If the
Agent or a Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the
Company or with respect to which the Company has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 8.04, it shall pay over such refund to Company (but
only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by
the Company under this Section 8.04 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses with respect to
such refund of the Agent or such Bank and without interest (other than any
interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund); provided that the Company, upon the request of the Agent or such Bank, agrees to
repay the amount paid over to the Company (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such
Bank in the event the Agent or such Bank is required to repay such refund to
such Governmental Authority. This Section 8.04(l) shall not be construed to
require the Agent or any Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Company or
any other Person.

    
Section 8.05. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Fixed Rate Loans. If (a) the obligation of any Bank to make, or to continue or
convert outstanding Loans as or to, Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended
pursuant to Section 8.02 or (b) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section
8.03 or 8.04 with respect to its Euro-Dollar Loans and the Company shall, by at
least five Euro-Dollar Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the
Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section 8.05 shall apply to such
Bank, then, all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as (or
continued as or converted to) Euro-Dollar Loans shall be made instead as Base
Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously
with the related Fixed Rate Loans of the other Banks). If such Bank notifies the
Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for
compensation no longer exist, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan
shall be converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan on the first day of the next
succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the
other Banks. 

    
Section 8.06. Mitigation Obligations;
Replacement of Banks. (a) If any Bank requests
compensation under Section 8.03, or if the Company is required to pay any
additional amount to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of
any Bank pursuant to Section 8.04, then such Bank will designate a different
Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or assign
its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Bank, such designation or assignment (i)
would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.03 or Section
8.04, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Bank to
any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to
such Bank. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

38 

     (b) If any
Bank requests compensation under Section 8.03, or if the Company is required to
pay any additional amount to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Bank pursuant to Section 8.04, or if any Bank becomes a
Defaulting Bank or an Affected Bank or invokes Section 8.02, or if any Bank
shall refuse to consent to any waiver, amendment or other modification that
would otherwise require such Bank’s consent but to which the Required Banks have
consented, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to
such Bank and the Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 9.06), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to
an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that (i) in the case of any
such assignment to a Person that is not a Bank, the Company shall have received
the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld and (ii) such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to
the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees
and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent
of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company or
the relevant Company (in the case of all other amounts). 

ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS 

    
Section 9.01. Notices. (a) All notices, requests and other communications to any party
hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telex, facsimile
transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party: (x) in the
case of the Company or the Agent, at its address, facsimile number or telex
number set forth on the signature pages hereof, (y) in the case of any Bank, at
its address, facsimile number or telex number set forth in its Administrative
Questionnaire or (z) in the case of any party, such other address, facsimile
number or telex number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by
notice to the Agent and the Company. Each such notice, request or other
communication shall be effective (i) if given by telex, when such telex is
transmitted to the telex number specified in this Section 9.01 and the
appropriate answerback is received, (ii) if given by facsimile transmission,
when transmitted to the facsimile number specified in this Section 9.01 and
confirmation of receipt is received, (iii) if given by mail, 72 hours after such
communication is deposited in the mails with first class postage prepaid,
addressed as aforesaid or (iv) if given by any other means, when delivered at
the address specified in this Section 9.01; provided that notices to the Agent
under Article 2 or Article 8 shall not be effective until received. 

    
(b) Notices
and other communications to the Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by
electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent;
provided
that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article 2 unless
otherwise agreed by the Agent and the applicable Bank. The Agent or the Company
may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it
hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it;
provided
that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or
communications. 

    
Section 9.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the
Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under
any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided
shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

    
Section 9.03. Expenses;
Indemnification. (a) The Company shall pay
(i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, including fees and
disbursements of special counsel for the Agent, in connection with the
preparation and administration of this Agreement, any waiver or consent
hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or
alleged Default hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and each Bank, including (without
duplication) the fees and disbursements of outside counsel and the allocated
cost of inside counsel, in connection with such Event of Default and collection,
bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

39 

     (b) The
Company agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Bank, their respective affiliates
and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing
(each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and
all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may
be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative,
administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be
designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or any actual or proposed use of any proceeds of any Loans
hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for
such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach by
such Indemnitee of any obligations hereunder, in each case as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction. The Company shall not be liable for any
compromise or settlement entered into by an indemnified person without its
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Promptly after the
receipt by the indemnified person of notice of its involvement in any
investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, such indemnified person
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under
this indemnification, notify the Company in writing of such involvement, unless
prohibited by applicable law or regulations or if requested by any governmental
agency or other regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory organization
having, or claiming to have jurisdiction), but failure so to notify the Company
shall not relieve the Company from any liability which it may otherwise have to
the indemnified person under this indemnification except to the extent that the
Company actually suffers prejudice as a result of such failure. 

    
Section 9.04. Sharing of Set-offs. Each Bank agrees
that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or
otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal
and interest then due with respect to the Loans held by it which is greater than
the proportion received by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate amount of
principal and interest then due with respect to the Loans held by such other
Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase
such participations in the Loans held by the other Banks, and such other
adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of
principal and interest with respect to the Loans held by the Banks shall be
shared by the Banks pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section
9.04 shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or
counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the
payment of indebtedness of the Company other than its indebtedness hereunder.
The Company agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under
applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Loan, if acquired
pursuant to the foregoing arrangements or if the Company has otherwise received
notice of the granting of such participation, may exercise rights of set-off or
counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if
such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Company in the
amount of such participation. 

    
Section 9.05. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision
of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such
amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Company and the Required
Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby, by the
Agent); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall (a) unless signed by each Bank
affected by such amendment or waiver, (i) increase or decrease the Commitment of
any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks) or
subject any Bank to any additional obligation, (ii) reduce the principal of or
rate of interest on any Loan, or any fees hereunder or (iii) postpone the date
fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees
hereunder or for the termination of any Commitment or
(b) unless signed by all Banks (other than a Defaulting Bank), change the
percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the
Loans, or the number of Banks which shall be required for the Banks or any of
them to take any action under this Section 9.05 or any other provision of this
Agreement. 

40 

     Section
9.06.
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, except that the Company may not assign or otherwise transfer any of
its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all
Banks.

    
(b) Any
Bank may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (each a
“Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment, including all or a portion
of its Loans at the time owing to it. In the event of any such grant by a Bank
of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the
Company and the Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of
its obligations hereunder, and the Company and the Agent shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may
grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain
the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Company
hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any
modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i),
(ii) or (iii) of Section 9.05 without the consent of the Participant. The
Company agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its
participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article 8 with respect
to its participating interest; provided the Participant complies with
the obligations of Sections 8.04(d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) as if it were a Bank
(it being understood that the documentation required shall be delivered to the
selling Bank and, if required by law for reduced withholding, copies shall be
delivered to the Company and the Agent). An assignment or other transfer which
is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for
purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest
granted in accordance with this subsection (b). Each Bank that sells a
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of
the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each
Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each
Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan
Documents (the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any
obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any
Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to
a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, or its other obligations
under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary
to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered
form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or, if
different, under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. The
entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent clearly
demonstrable error, and such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes
of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 

41 

    
(c) Any
Bank may at any time assign to one or more banks or other institutions (each an
“Assignee”)
all, or a proportionate part (equivalent to an initial Commitment of not less
than $5,000,000) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and its
Note, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit G
hereto executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank, with (and subject to)
the consent of the Agent and (so long as no Event of Default exists) of the
Company, such consents of the Company and the Agent not to be unreasonably
withheld; provided that, (i) if an
Assignee is an Approved Fund, an affiliate of such transferor Bank or was a Bank
immediately before such assignment, no consent of the Company shall be required
and (ii) the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment
unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within ten
Domestic Business Days after having received notice thereof, and provided further that such
assignment may, but need not, include rights of the transferor Bank in respect
of outstanding Competitive Bid Loans. Upon execution and delivery of such
instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount
equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such
Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have
all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Commitment as set forth in such
instrument of assumption, and the transferor Bank shall be released from its
obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or
action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment
pursuant to this subsection (c), the Agent shall record in the Register the
information relating to such assignment, and the transferor Bank, the Agent and
the Company shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if the underlying Note
is outstanding, a new Note is issued to the Assignee. No assignment shall be
effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the
Register as provided in this paragraph. In connection with any such assignment,
the transferor Bank shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee for processing
such assignment in the amount of $3,500. If the Assignee is not incorporated
under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall
deliver to the Company and the Agent certification as to exemption from
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income Taxes in accordance
with Section 8.04. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York a copy of
each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and
principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof
from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Company, the Agent
and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any
Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     (d) Any
Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall
release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder. 

    
(e) No
Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights shall be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or 8.04 than such Bank would
have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless
such transfer is made with the Company’s prior written consent or by reason of
the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 requiring such Bank to designate a
different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time
when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

    
Section 9.07. Designated Banks. (a) Subject to the
provisions of this subsection (a), any Bank may at any time designate an
Eligible Designee to provide all or a portion of the Loans to be made by such
Bank pursuant to this Agreement; provided that such designation shall
not be effective unless the Company and the Agent consent thereto (which
consents shall not be unreasonably withheld). When a Bank and its Eligible
Designee shall have signed an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H
hereto (a “Designation
Agreement”) and the Company and the Agent
shall have signed their respective consents thereto, such Eligible Designee
shall become a Designated Bank for purposes of this Agreement. The Designating
Bank shall thereafter have the right to permit such Designated Bank to provide
all or a portion of the Loans to be made by such Designating Bank pursuant to
Section 2.01 or 2.03, and the making of such Loans or portion thereof shall
satisfy the obligation of the Designating Bank to the same extent, and as if,
such Loans or portion thereof were made by the Designating Bank. As to any Loans
or portion thereof made by it, each Designated Bank shall have all the rights
that a Bank making such Loans or portion thereof would have had under this
Agreement and otherwise; provided that (x) its voting rights
under this Agreement shall be exercised solely by its Designating Bank and (y)
its Designating Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such Designated Bank’s obligations under
this Agreement, including its obligations in respect of the Loans or portion
thereof made by it. No additional Note shall be required to evidence the Loans
or portion thereof made by a Designated Bank; and the Designating Bank shall be
deemed to hold its Note as agent for its Designated Bank to the extent of the
Loans or portion thereof funded by such Designated Bank. Each Designating Bank
shall act as administrative agent for its Designated Bank and give and receive
notices and other communications on its behalf. Any payments for the account of
any Designated Bank shall be paid to its Designating Bank as administrative
agent for such Designated Bank and neither the Company nor the Agent shall be
responsible for any Designating Bank’s application of such payments. In
addition, any Designated Bank may, with notice to (but without the prior written
consent of) the Company and the Agent, (i) assign all or portions of its
interest in any Loans to its Designating Bank or to any financial institutions
consented to by the Company and the Agent that provide liquidity and/or credit
facilities to or for the account of such Designated Bank to support the funding
of Loans or portions thereof made by it and (ii) disclose on a confidential
basis pursuant to a confidentiality agreement satisfactory in form and substance
to the Company any non-public information relating to its Loans or portions
thereof to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any
guarantee, surety, credit or liquidity enhancement to such Designated Bank.

42 

    
(b) Each
party to this Agreement agrees that it will not institute against, or join any
other person in instituting against, any Designated Bank any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar proceeding under any federal or
state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and a day after all outstanding
senior indebtedness of such Designated Bank is paid in full. The Designating
Bank for each Designated Bank agrees to indemnify, save, and hold harmless each
other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage and expense arising out of its
inability to institute any such proceeding against such Designated Bank. This
subsection (b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

    
(c) Each
Bank that designates a Designated Bank to provide all or a portion of the Loans
to be made by such Bank pursuant to this Agreement shall, acting solely for this
purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it
enters the name and address of each Designated Bank and the principal amounts
(and stated interest) of each Designated Bank’s interest in the Loans or other
obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Designated Bank Register”);
provided
that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the
Designated Bank Register to any Person (including the identity of any Designated
Bank or any information relating to a Designated Bank’s interest in any
commitments, loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to
the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment,
loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the
United States Treasury Regulations or, if different, under Section 871(h) or
881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. The entries in the Designated Bank Register
shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error, and such Bank shall treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Designated Bank Register as the owner
of such Loan for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary. 

    
Section 9.08. Collateral. Each of the Banks
represents to the Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not
relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in
the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

     Section
9.09. Governing
Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This
Agreement and each Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York. The Company hereby submits to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City,
for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now
or hereafter have to the laying of the
venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such
proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

43 

     Section
9.10.
Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures
thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and, except as
expressly provided in the Commitment Letter or in the Fee Letters, supersedes
any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to
the subject matter hereof.

    
Section 9.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY. 

    
Section 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Agent and the Banks agree to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to their and their affiliates’ directors, officers,
employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors
(it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be
informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep
such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing
provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12 (in the case of
the following clauses (i) and (ii)), (i) to any assignee of or Participant in,
or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement, (ii) to any direct or indirect contractual
counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional
advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to
such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this
Section 9.12) or (iii) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or
any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that
requires access to information about a Bank’s investment portfolio in connection
with ratings issues with respect to such Bank, (g) with the consent of the
Company or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12 or (ii) becomes
available to the Agent or any Bank on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than the Company. For the purposes of this Section 9.12, “Information” means all
information received directly or indirectly from the Company relating to the
Company, the Acquired Entity or their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is available to the Agent or any Bank on a non-confidential
basis prior to disclosure by the Company. 

    
Section 9.13. USA Patriot Act. Each Bank that is
subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Company that
pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies the Company, which information
includes the name and address of the Company and other information that will
allow such Bank to identify the Company in accordance with the Patriot Act.

44 

     Section 9.14.
No Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of each transaction
contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other
modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Company acknowledges and
agrees, and acknowledges its affiliates’ understanding that (i)(A) the arranging
and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agent, the
Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners and the Banks (as
used in this paragraph “Agent and
Bank Parties”) are arm’s-length commercial
transactions between the Company and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the
Agent and Bank Parties, on the other hand, (B) the Company has consulted its own
legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed
appropriate and (C) the Company is capable of evaluating, and understands and
accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby
and by the other Loan Documents; (ii)(A) each of the Agent and Bank Parties is
and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in
writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as
an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Company or any of its affiliates, or any
other Person and (B) none of the Agent and Bank Parties has any obligation to
the Company or any of its affiliates with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in
the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Agent and Bank Parties and their
respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that
involve interests that differ from those of the Company and its affiliates, and
none of the Agent, the Agent and Bank Parties has any obligation to disclose any
of such interests to the Company or any of its affiliates. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, the Company hereby waives and releases any claims that it may
have against the Agent and Bank Parties with respect to any breach or alleged
breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any
transaction contemplated hereby.

SCHEDULE 2.01 

PRICING SCHEDULE 

     The
“Base Rate Margin,” “Euro-Dollar Margin” and “Facility Fee
Rate” for any day are the respective rates
per annum set forth below in the applicable row and column corresponding to the
Pricing Level that apply on such day: 

	Pricing	Level I	Level II	Level III	Level IV	Level V
	Base
      Rate Margin	-	-	-	0.055%	0.17%
	Euro-Dollar Margin	0.71%	0.825%	0.94%	1.055%	1.17%
	Facility
      Fee Rate	0.04%	0.05%	0.06%	0.07%	0.08%

    
For purposes of this Pricing Schedule, the following terms have the
following meanings: 

    
“Level I Pricing” applies on any day if on such day the Company’s unsecured
long-term debt securities are rated A+ or higher by S&P or A1 or higher by Moody’s.

    
“Level II Pricing” applies on any day if on such day Level I Pricing does not
apply and the Company’s unsecured long-term debt securities are rated A or
higher by S&P or A2 or higher by Moody’s. 

    
“Level III Pricing” applies on any day if on such day Level II Pricing does not
apply and the Company’s unsecured long-term debt securities are rated A- or
higher by S&P or A3 or higher by Moody’s. 

    
“Level IV Pricing” applies on any day if on such day Level III Pricing does not
apply and the Company’s unsecured long-term debt securities are rated BBB+ or
higher by S&P or Baa1 or higher by Moody’s. 

    
“Level V Pricing” applies on any day if no lower Pricing Level applies on such
day. 

    
“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and its successors. 

    
“Pricing Level” refers to the determination of which of Level I Pricing,
Level II Pricing, Level III Pricing, Level IV Pricing or Level V Pricing
applies. Level I Pricing is the lowest Pricing Level and Level V Pricing the
highest. 

    
“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and its successors.

     The credit
ratings to be utilized for purposes of this Pricing Schedule are those assigned
to the senior unsecured long-term debt securities of the Company without
third-party credit enhancement, and any rating assigned to any other debt
security of the Company shall be disregarded. The credit ratings in effect on
any day are those in effect at the close of business on such day. If the Company
is split-rated and the ratings differential is one notch, the higher of the two
ratings will apply (e.g., A+/A2 results in Level I Pricing). If the Company is
split-rated and the ratings differential is more than one notch, the average of
the two ratings (or the higher of two intermediate ratings) shall be used
(e.g.,
A/Baa1 results in Level III Pricing, as does A/Baa2). If the rating system of
Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to
be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Company and the
Banks shall negotiate in good faith to amend the related definition in this
Pricing Schedule to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of
ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such
amendment, the rating shall be determined by reference to the rating most
recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

EXHIBIT A 

NOTE 

New York, New York 
__________ 
__ , 20__ 

     For value
received, Rockwell Collins, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay
to (the “Bank”), for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, or to its
registered Assignee, the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by the Bank
to the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement referred to below on the
Maturity Date provided for in the Credit Agreement. The Company promises to pay

WHEREAS, this Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) relates to the

WHEREAS, Committed Loans made to the Company by the Assignor under the

corresponding obligations from the Assignor on such terms; 

    
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

    
SECTION 1. Definitions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall
have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement. 

    
SECTION 2. Assignment. The Assignor hereby assigns and sells to the Assignee all of
the rights of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement to the extent of the
Assigned Amount, and the Assignee hereby accepts such assignment from the
Assignor and assumes all of the obligations of the Assignor under the Credit
Agreement to the extent of the Assigned Amount, including the purchase from the
Assignor of the corresponding portion of its outstanding Committed Loans at the
date hereof. Upon the execution and delivery hereof by the Assignor, the
Assignee, the Company and the Agent and the payment of the amounts specified in
Section 3 required to be paid on the date hereof (i) the Assignee shall, as of
the date hereof, succeed to the rights and be obligated to perform the
obligations of a Bank under the Credit Agreement with a Commitment in an amount
equal to the Assigned Amount and acquire the rights of the Assignor with respect
to a corresponding portion of its outstanding Committed Loans, and (ii) the
Commitment of the Assignor shall, as of the date hereof, be reduced by a like
amount and the Assignor released from its obligations under the Credit Agreement

provided for herein shall be without recourse to the Assignor.  

G-1

     SECTION 3.
Payments.
As consideration for the assignment and sale contemplated in Section 2 hereof,
the Assignee shall pay to the Assignor on the date hereof in Federal funds the
amount heretofore agreed between them.* It is understood that
facility fees accrued to the date hereof are for the account of the Assignor and
such fees accruing from and including the date hereof with respect to the
Assigned Amount are for the account of the Assignee. Each of the Assignor and
the Assignee hereby agrees that if it receives any amount under the Credit
Agreement which is for the account of the other party hereto, it shall receive
the same for the account of such other party to the extent of such other party’s
interest therein and shall promptly pay the same to such other party.

    
SECTION 4. Consent of the Company and
the Agent. This Agreement is conditioned upon
the consent of [the Agent and the Company] pursuant to Section 9.06(c) of the
Credit Agreement. The execution of this Agreement by [the Agent and the Company]
is evidence of this consent. 

    
SECTION 5. Note. Pursuant to Section 9.06(c) of the Credit Agreement, the
Company agrees, if requested by the Assignee, to execute and deliver a Note
payable to the Assignee or its registered assignee to evidence the assignment

representation or warranty in connection with, and shall have no responsibility
with respect to, the solvency, financial condition, or statements of the
Company, or the validity and enforceability of the obligations of the Company in
respect of the Credit Agreement or any Note. The Assignee acknowledges that it
has, independently and without reliance on the Assignor, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and will continue to be

and financial condition of the Company. 

    
SECTION 7. Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. 

    
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed
and delivered by their duly authorized officers as of the date first above
written. 
____________________

    
* Amount should combine principal together with accrued
interest and breakage compensation, if any, to be paid by Assignee, net of any
portion of any upfront fee to be paid by the Assignor to the Assignee. It may be
preferable in an appropriate case to specify these amounts generically or by
formula rather than as a fixed sum.
