          AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of August 13, 2001 and
amended and restated as of July 2, 2002, among UNITED DEFENSE INDUSTRIES,
INC., a Delaware corporation, the lenders from time to time party hereto
(each, a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”), DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST
COMPANY AMERICAS (f/k/a Bankers Trust Company), as Administrative Agent (the
“Administrative Agent”), LEHMAN COMMERCIAL PAPER INC., as Syndication Agent
(the “Syndication Agent”) and CITICORP USA, INC., THE BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA and
CREDIT LYONNAIS NEW YORK BRANCH, as Documentation Agents (the “Documentation
Agents” and together with the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent,
collectively, the “Agents”). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized
terms used herein and defined in Section 10 are used herein as so defined.

W I T N E S S E T H:

          WHEREAS, subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth,
the Lenders are willing to make available to the Borrower the credit
facilities provided for herein;

          NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:

          SECTION 1. Amount and Terms of Credit.

          1.01 Commitment. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set
forth, each Lender severally agrees to make or continue a loan or loans (each,
a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrower, as set forth below:

          (a) Loans designated as “A Term Loans” were made (i) on the Initial
Borrowing Date by each Lender with an A Term Loan Commitment under and as defined in
the Original Credit Agreement in the amount of such A Term Commitment and (ii) to the
extent made under Section 3 of the Agreement to Amend, on the Extended Cut-Off Date as
Replacement A Term Loans, with the principal amount of each such A Term Loan outstanding on
the Restatement
Effective Date to continue to remain outstanding hereunder as A Term Loans
I (collectively, the
“A Term Loans I”) subject to the same Interest Periods as theretofore
applicable to them. On the
Restatement Effective Date, each Additional Lender shall have made
available to the Borrower
an additional term loan (each an “A Term Loan II” and collectively the “A
Term Loans II”) in
the amount specified for such Additional Lender under the heading
“Additional A Term Loans”
on Schedule I to the Agreement to Amend. Once repaid, A Term Loans may not
be reborrowed.

          (b) Loans designated as “B Term Loans” were made (i) on the Initial
Borrowing Date by each Lender with a B Term Loan Commitment under and as defined in
the Original Credit Agreement in the amount of such B Term Commitment and (ii) to the
extent made under Section 3 of the Agreement to Amend, on the Extended Cut-Off Date as
Replacement B Term Loans, with the principal amount of each such B Term Loan outstanding on
the Restatement Effective Date to continue to remain outstanding hereunder as B Term Loans
I (collectively, the “B Term Loans I”) subject to the same Interest Periods as theretofore
applicable to them. On the Restatement Effective Date, each Additional Lender shall have made
available to the Borrower an additional term loan (each a “B Term Loan II” and collectively the “B
Term Loans II”) in the

 

 

amount specified for such Additional Lender under the heading “Additional B
Term Loans” on Schedule I to the Agreement to Amend. Once repaid, B Term Loans
may not be reborrowed.

          (c) Loans under the Revolving Facility (each, a “Revolving Loan” and,
collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) (i) that were outstanding on the
Restatement Effective Date shall continue to remain outstanding hereunder as Revolving Loans subject to the
same Interest Periods as were applicable to them immediately prior to the Restatement
Effective Date, (ii) may thereafter be made at any time and from time to time prior to the A/RF
Maturity Date, (iii) except as hereinafter provided, may, at the option of the Borrower, be
incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans provided
that all Revolving Loans made as part of the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise
specifically provided herein, consist of Revolving Loans of the same Type, (iv) may be repaid and
reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof and (v) shall not exceed (giving effect to any
incurrence thereof and the use of the proceeds of such incurrence) for any Lender in aggregate
principal amount at any time outstanding that amount which, when combined with such Lender’s
Adjusted RF Percentage of the sum of (x) the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time and (y)
the outstanding principal amount of Swingline Loans at such time, equals the Revolving Commitment of
such Lender.

          (d) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the
Swingline Lender agrees to make at any time and from time to time after the Initial
Borrowing Date and prior to the Swingline Expiry Date, a loan or loans to the Borrower (each,
a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”), which Swingline Loans (i) shall
be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans, (ii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance
with the provisions hereof and (iii) shall not exceed (giving effect to any incurrence thereof
and the use of the proceeds of such incurrence) in aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding that amount which, when combined with the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving
Loans made by Non-Defaulting Lenders then outstanding and the Letter of Credit
Outstandings at such time, equals the Adjusted Total Revolving Commitment then in effect (after
giving effect to any changes thereto on such date). The Swingline Lender will not make a
Swingline Loan after it has received written notice from the Required Lenders that one or more of
the applicable conditions to Credit Events specified in Section 5.01 are not then
satisfied until such conditions are satisfied.

          (e) On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion,
give notice to the RF Lenders that its outstanding Swingline Loans shall be
funded with a Borrowing of Revolving Loans (provided that each such notice shall be deemed to have
been automatically given upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.05 or
upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 9), in which
case a Borrowing of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing,
a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by
all RF Lenders pro rata based on each RF Lender’s Adjusted RF Percentage, and the proceeds
thereof shall be applied directly to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding
Swingline Loans. Each RF Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Base Rate Loans upon one Business
Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner
specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender
notwithstanding: (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the Minimum
Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified
in Section 5.01 are

-2-

 

then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing and (v) the amount of
the Total Revolving Commitment at such time. In the event that any Mandatory
Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above
(including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding
under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Borrower), each RF Lender (other
than the Swingline Lender) hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase from
the Swingline Lender (without recourse or warranty) such assignment of the
outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the RF Lenders to
share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Adjusted RF
Percentages, provided that all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be
for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date the respective assignment
is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased assignment, shall
be payable to the RF Lender purchasing same from and after such date of
purchase.

          1.02 Minimum Borrowing Amounts, etc. The aggregate principal
amount of each Borrowing shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount.
More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any day, provided that at no time
shall there be outstanding more than fifteen Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans.

          1.03 Notice of Borrowing. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to
incur Revolving Loans (excluding Mandatory Borrowings), it shall give the
Administrative Agent at its Notice Office, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time),
at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed incurrence of Eurodollar Loans
and at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed incurrence of Base Rate Loans.
Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be in the form of Exhibit
A and shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount
of the Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to such incurrence, (ii) the date of
incurrence (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) whether the respective
Borrowing shall consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans and, if
Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly give each RF Lender written notice (or
telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed incurrence of
Revolving Loans of such RF Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other
matters covered by the Notice of Borrowing.

          (b) (i) Whenever the Borrower desires to make a Borrowing of
Swingline Loans hereunder, it shall give the Swingline Lender, prior to 2:00
P.M. (New York time) on the day such Swingline Loan is to be made, written
notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Swingline
Loan to be made hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify in each case (x) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business
Day) and (y) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loan to be made
pursuant to such Borrowing.

          (ii) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice
specified in Section 1.01(e), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its
incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as set
forth in such Section 1.01(e).

          (c) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower
to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the
Administrative Agent, the

-3-

 

Swingline Lender (in the case of a Borrowing of Swingline Loans), or the Letter
of Credit Issuer (in the case of the issuance of Letters of Credit), as the case
may be, may prior to receipt of written confirmation act without liability upon
the basis of and consistent with such telephonic notice, believed by the
Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer in
good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. In each such case,
the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s, the
Swingline Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s record of the terms of such
telephonic notice, unless such record reflects gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the
Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be.

          1.04 Disbursement of Funds, (a) No later than 1:00 P.M. (New
York time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing or 2:00 P.M. (New
York time) on the date specified in a notice described in Section 1.03(b)(i),
each RF Lender will make available its pro rata share of each Borrowing
requested to be made on such date or in the case of Swingline Loans, the
Swingline Lender shall make available the full amount thereof in the manner
provided below. All such amounts shall be made available to the Administrative
Agent in Dollars and immediately available funds at the Payment Office and the
Administrative Agent promptly will make available to the Borrower by depositing
to its account at the Payment Office or as otherwise directed in the applicable
Notice of Borrowing the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type
of funds received. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by
any RF Lender prior to the date of the proposed incurrence that such RF Lender
does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the
Revolving Loans to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume
that such RF Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent
on such date, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption,
may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available
to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in
fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such RF Lender and the
Administrative Agent has made available same to the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such RF
Lender. If such RF Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon
the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may notify
the Borrower, and, upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall promptly pay
such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such RF Lender or the Borrower,
as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day
from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative
Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the
Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (x) if paid by such RF
Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate or (y) if paid by the
Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with
Section 1.08, for the respective Loans.

          (b) Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from
its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights
which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by
such Lender hereunder.

          1.05 Notes. (a) On the Initial Borrowing Date, the Borrower
issued (i) to each Lender that made an A Term Loan on such date an A Term Note,
(ii) to each Lender that made a B Term Loan on such date a B Term Note, (iii) to
each Lender with a Revolving Commitment on

-4-

 

such date a Revolving Note and (iv) to the Swingline Lender a Swingline Note.
The Borrower has (i) from time to time thereafter, in connection with
assignments made pursuant to Section 12.04 hereof, issued new Notes as required
by such Section to the respective assignees, (ii) on the Extended Cut-Off Date,
issued to each Lender making a Replacement A Term Loan and/or a Replacement B
Term Loan that has requested same an A Term Note and/or B Term Note to evidence
same, in each case modified as provided in the Agreement to Amend, and (iii) on
the Restatement Effective Date, issued to each Additional Lender an A Term Note
II and/or a B Term Note II to evidence the A Term Loan II and/or B Term Loan II
made by such Additional Lender on such date. The Borrower and each Lender
holding an A Term Note and/or a B Term Note evidencing A Term Loans and/or B
Term Loans made prior to the Extended Cut-Off Date hereby agree that all
references therein to “A Term Loans” or “B Term Loans”, as the case may be,
shall be deemed, on and after the Restatement Effective Date to be references to
“A Term Loans I” or “B Term Loans I”, as the case may be.

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

          1.06 Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to
convert on any Business Day all or a portion at least equal to the applicable
Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans (other
than Swingline Loans which at all times shall be maintained as Base Rate Loans)
owing pursuant to a single Facility into a Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to
such Facility of another Type of Loan provided that (i) no partial conversion of
a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of
the Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to less than the Minimum
Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) Base Rate Loans may not be converted
into Eurodollar Loans when a Default under Section 9.01 or an Event of Default
is in existence on the date of the proposed conversion if the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders shall have determined in its or their sole
discretion not to permit such conversion and (iii) Borrowings of Eurodollar
Loans resulting from this Section 1.06 shall be limited in number as provided in
Section 1.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower giving the
Administrative Agent at its Notice Office, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time),
at least three Business Days’ (or one Business Day’s, in the case of a
conversion into Base Rate Loans) prior written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) (each, a “Notice of Conversion”) specifying the
Loans to be so converted (including the relevant Facility), the Type of Loans to
be converted into and, if to be converted into a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans,
the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent
shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting
any of its Loans.

          1.07 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Revolving Loans under this
Agreement shall be made by the RF Lenders pro rata on the basis of their
Revolving Commitments, provided that each Mandatory Borrowing shall be funded on
the basis of their Adjusted RF Percentages, if any. It is understood that no
Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its
obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to
make the Loans

-5-

 

provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other
Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder.

          1.08 Interest. (a) The unpaid principal amount of each Base
Rate Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the
earlier of repayment or conversion thereof and maturity (whether by acceleration
or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall at all times be the Applicable
Base Rate Margin plus the Base Rate in effect from time to time.

          (b) The unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan shall
bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the earlier of
repayment or conversion thereof and maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall at all times be the Applicable
Eurodollar Margin plus the relevant Eurodollar Rate.

          (c) All overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law,
overdue interest in respect of each Loan and any other overdue amount payable
hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in
effect from time to time plus the sum of (i) 2% and (ii) the Applicable Base
Rate Margin provided that principal in respect of Eurodollar Loans shall bear
interest from the date the same becomes due (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) until the end of the Interest Period then applicable to such
Eurodollar Loan at a rate per annum equal to 2% in excess of the rate of
interest applicable thereto on such date.

          (d) Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any
Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be
payable (A) if in respect of any Term Loans refinanced under Section 3 of the
Agreement to Amend, as provided therein and (B) otherwise (i) in respect of each
Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each January,
April, July and October, (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on the last
day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest
Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month
intervals after the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) in respect of
each Loan, on any prepayment or conversion (on the amount prepaid or converted),
at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on
demand.

          (e) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in
accordance with Section 12.07(b).

          (f) The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest
rate for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans for any Interest Period, shall
promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof.

          1.09 Interest Periods. (a) At the time the Borrower gives a
Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion in respect of the making of, or
conversion into, a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (in the case of the initial
Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on
the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable
to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, it shall have the right to elect by giving
the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed
in writing) of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest
Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two, three, six or, to
the extent available to all Lenders making or holding

-6-

 

the Loans subject to such Borrowing and so long as the Administrative Agent
consents thereto, nine or twelve month period. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained above:

          (i) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of
Eurodollar Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the
date of any conversion from a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and each Interest
Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the
day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

          (ii) if any Interest Period begins on a day for which there is
no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such
Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such
calendar month;

          (iii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day
which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next
succeeding Business Day, provided that if any Interest Period would otherwise
expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after
which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall
expire on the next preceding Business Day;

          (iv) no Interest Period with respect to a Borrowing of
Revolving Loans shall extend beyond the A/RF Maturity Date;

          (v) no Interest Period with respect to any Term Loans under a
Facility may be elected that would extend beyond any date upon which a Scheduled
Repayment is required to be made in respect of such Term Loans if, after giving
effect to the selection of such Interest Period, the aggregate principal amount
of Term Loans maintained under the respective Facility as Eurodollar Loans with
Interest Periods ending after such date would exceed the aggregate principal
amount of Term Loans under such Facility permitted to be outstanding after such
Scheduled Repayment;

          (vi) no Interest Period may be elected at any time when a
Default under Section 9.01 or an Event of Default is then in existence if the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall have determined in its or
their sole discretion not to permit such election; and

          (vii) Interest Periods applicable to the Additional Term Loans
of one or two weeks ending no later than the 60th day following the Restatement
Effective Date (or if earlier and known at the time, the Syndication Date) may
be elected by the Borrower at any time prior to the Syndication Date.

          (b) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period, the
Borrower has failed to (or may not) elect a new Interest Period to be applicable
to the respective Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans as provided above, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing into a Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans effective as of such expiration.

          1.10 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc, (a) In the event that
(x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case
of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender shall have determined (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding
upon all parties hereto):

-7-

 

          (i) on any date for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any
Interest Period that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this
Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do
not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided
for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate or the making or continuance of any
Eurodollar Loan has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring
after the Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the interbank
Eurodollar market;

          (ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs
or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to
any Eurodollar Loans (other than taxes covered by Section 4.04 and any increased
cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from the
imposition of or a change in the rate of taxes or similar charges) because of
(x) any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law, governmental
rule, regulation, guideline or order (or in the interpretation or administration
thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule,
regulation, guideline or order) (such as, for example, but not limited to, a
change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves
required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the
Eurodollar Rate) and/or (y) other circumstances first arising after the date
hereof affecting the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender
in such market; or

          (iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any
Eurodollar Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith
with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would
conflict with any such governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not
having the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies even
though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful);

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent in the
case of clause (i) above) shall (x) on such date and (y) within ten Business
Days of the date on which such event no longer exists give notice (by telephone
confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such
determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to
each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above,
Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer
exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion given by the Borrower
with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred shall be
deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the
Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within 10 Business Days after Borrower’s
receipt of written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an
increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise
as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine after consultation
with the Borrower) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such
increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (a written notice
as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, describing the basis for such
increased costs and showing the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower
by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding
upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower
shall take one of the actions specified in Section 1.10(b) as promptly as
possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

-8-

 

          (b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the
circumstances described in Section 1.10(a)(ii), the Borrower may (and in the
case of a Eurodollar Loan affected pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(iii), the
Borrower shall within the time period required by law) either (x) if the
affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel said
Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed
promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by
a Lender pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), or (y) if the affected
Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice
to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such
Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan (which conversion, in the case of the
circumstances described in Section 1.10(a)(iii), shall occur no later than the
last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (or such
earlier date as shall be required by applicable law)); provided that if more
than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be
treated the same pursuant to this Section 1.10(b). Each Lender, upon determining
in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this
Section 1.10(b), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which
notice shall set forth the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts,
although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the
Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section
1.10(b) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.

          (c) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption or
effectiveness of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital
adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, in each case
after the Effective Date, or compliance by such Lender or its parent corporation
with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having
the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency first
made after the Effective Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s capital or assets as a
consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that
which such Lender or its parent corporation could have achieved but for such
adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such
Lender’s or its parent corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy),
then from time to time, within 10 Business Days after demand by such Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent
corporation for such reduction. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that
any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 1.10(c), will
give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall describe
the basis for such claim and set forth in reasonable detail the calculation of
such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not
release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 1.10(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.

          1.11 Compensation. (a) The Borrower shall compensate each
Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth the basis for
requesting such compensation and reasonably detailed calculations thereof), for
all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation,
any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its
Eurodollar Loans but excluding in any event the loss of anticipated profits)
which such Lender may actually

-9-

 

sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the
Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date
specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion (whether or
not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 1.10(a));
(ii) if any prepayment, repayment or conversion of any of its Eurodollar Loans
occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on
any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a
consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay its Eurodollar
Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement, (y) an election made
pursuant to Section 1.10(b) or (z) the early termination of an, or the funding
of a shortened, Interest Period (other than an Interest Period elected pursuant
to Section 1.09(a)(vii)) which may be required by any Lender in connection with
any assignment effected after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the
Syndication Date.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, to the extent any notice or request required by Section 1.10, 1.11,
2.05 or 4.04 is given by any Lender more than 180 days after such Lender
obtained, or reasonably should have obtained, knowledge of the occurrence of the
event giving rise to the additional costs, reductions in amounts, losses, taxes
or other additional amounts of the type described in such Section, such Lender
shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.05 or 4.04 for
any amounts incurred or accruing prior to the giving of such notice to the
Borrower.

          1.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon
the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.10(a)(ii)
or (iii), 1.10(c), 2.05 or 4.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if
requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy
considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans
or Letter of Credit participations affected by such event, provided that such
designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer
no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of
avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such
Section. Nothing in this Section 1.12 shall affect or postpone any of the
obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section
1.10,2.05 or 4.04.

          1.13 Replacement of Lenders. (x) Upon the occurrence of any
event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section
1.10(c), Section 1.11, Section 2.05 or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender
which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs materially
in excess of those being charged generally by the Lenders, (y) if a Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender and/or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to
consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to
this Agreement which has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower
shall have the right, if no Default under Section 9.01 or Event of Default then
exists, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other
Eligible Transferee or Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting
Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”)
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that (i) at the time
of any replacement pursuant to this Section 1.13, the Replacement Lender shall
enter into one or more Assignment Agreements pursuant to Section 12.04(b) (and
with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 12.04(b) to be paid by the
Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all
of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and in each case participations in
Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall

-10-

 

pay to (x) the Replaced Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal
to the principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all outstanding
Loans of the Replaced Lender, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings that
have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with
all accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an
amount equal to all accrued and unpaid Fees owing to the Replaced Lender
pursuant to Section 3.01, (y) each Letter of Credit Issuer an amount equal to
such Replaced Lender’s Adjusted RF Percentage (for this purpose, and for the
purposes of clause (z) below, determined as if the adjustment described in
clause (y) of the immediately succeeding sentence had been made with respect to
such Replaced Lender) of any Unpaid Drawing (which at such time remains an
Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such
Replaced Lender and (z) the Swingline Lender, any portion of a Mandatory
Borrowing as to which the Replaced Lender is then in default, and (ii) all
obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those
specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment
purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full
to such Replaced Lender by the Borrower concurrently with such replacement. Upon
the execution of the respective Assignment Agreements, the payment of amounts
referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and, if so requested by the
Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note
or Notes executed by the Borrower, (x) the Replacement Lender shall become a
Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender
hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions applicable to the
Replaced Lender under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Replaced
Lender and (y) in the case of a replacement of a Defaulting Lender with a
Non-Defaulting Lender, the Adjusted RF Percentages of the respective Lenders and
the Adjusted Total Revolving Commitment shall be automatically adjusted at such
time to give effect to such replacement.

          SECTION 2. Letters of Credit.

          2.01 Letters of Credit. (a) Each Letter of Credit (including
Existing Letters of Credit) issued pursuant to Section 2.01 (a) of the Original
Credit Agreement and outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date (to the
extent listed on Annex X, Part I, each an “OCA Letter of Credit”) shall continue
to remain outstanding as a Letter of Credit hereunder on and after such Date on
the same terms as applicable to it immediately prior to such Date. [Each
Existing USMR Letter of Credit outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date
shall continue to remain outstanding as a Letter of Credit hereunder on and
after such Date on the same terms as applicable to it immediately prior to such
Date.] Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the
Borrower may request that the Letter of Credit Issuer at any time and from time
to time on or after the Restatement Effective Date and prior to the fifth
Business Day prior to the A/RF Maturity Date to issue, for the account of the
Borrower and in support of (x) trade obligations of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries incurred in the ordinary course of business (letters of credit
issued for such purposes, “Trade Letters of Credit”) and (y) any other lawful
purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (letters of credit issued for such
purposes, “Standby Letters of Credit”), and subject to and upon the terms and
conditions herein set forth, the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to issue from
time to time, irrevocable letters of credit denominated in Dollars and issued on
a sight basis only, in such form as may be approved by the Letter of Credit
Issuer and the Administrative Agent. “Letters of Credit” shall include Trade
Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit, in each case issued pursuant to
this Section 2, the OCA Letters of Credit, including any Existing Letters of
Credit included therein (each of which

-11-

 

Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed issued as Letters of Credit for all
purposes of this Agreement on the Initial Borrowing Date) [and all Existing USMR
Letters of Credit (each of which Existing USMR Letter of Credit shall be deemed
issued as Letters of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement on the
Restatement Effective Date].

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit
shall be issued if after giving effect thereto the sum of the Letter of Credit
Outstandings plus the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by
Non-Defaulting Lenders then outstanding and Swingline Loans then outstanding
would exceed the Adjusted Total Revolving Commitment at such time; (ii) each
Standby Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date occurring not later than
three years after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance although (x) Standby
Letters of Credit issued to replace and/or support letters of credit existing on
the Initial Borrowing Date shall have an expiry date equal to the then expiry
date of the letter of credit being replaced or supported, (y) any Standby Letter
of Credit may be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but not
beyond the third Business Day next preceding the A/RF Maturity Date, on terms
acceptable to the Letter of Credit Issuer and in no event shall any Standby
Letter of Credit have an expiry date occurring later than the third Business Day
next preceding the A/RF Maturity Date and (z) Letters of Credit in an aggregate
Stated Amount of up to $100,000,000 may be issued with an initial expiry date
occurring more than three years after the respective dates of issuance thereof
provided that in each case such expiry date shall not be later than the date
three months prior to A/RF Maturity Date; and (iii) each Trade Letter of Credit
shall have an expiry date occurring not later than (x) 180 days after such Trade
Letter of Credit’s date of issuance or (y) the date three Business Days prior to
the A/RF Maturity Date.

          2.02 Letter of Credit Requests; Notices of Issuance. (a)
Whenever it desires that an Letter of Credit be issued, the Borrower shall give
the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer written notice
(including by way of facsimile transmission) in the form of Exhibit B thereof
prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) at least three Business Days (or such shorter
period as may be acceptable to the Letter of Credit Issuer) prior to the
proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day) (each, a “Letter of
Credit Request”), which Letter of Credit Request shall include any other
documents that the Letter of Credit Issuer customarily requires in connection
therewith.

          (b) The Letter of Credit Issuer shall, promptly after the
issuance of or amendment to a Standby Letter of Credit by it pursuant to this
Section 2, give the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, written notice of
such issuance or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of
such issuance or amendment. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly give each RF Lender a written notice of such issuance or
amendment. If any RF Lender should so request, the Administrative Agent shall
provide copies of such issuance or amendment to such RF Lender. With regards to
Trade Letters of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall on the first Business
Day of each week provide the Administrative Agent, by facsimile, with a report
of the daily aggregate outstanding Trade Letters of Credit issued by the Letter
of Credit Issuer for the previous calendar week.

          2.03 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings, (a) The
Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer, by making
payment to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, for any payment or
disbursement made by the Letter of Credit Issuer

-12-

 

under any Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid or disbursed until
reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”) promptly after, and in any event within three
Business Days after the date on which, the Borrower is notified by the Letter of
Credit Issuer of such payment or disbursement with interest on the amount so
paid or disbursed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed
prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date of such payment or disbursement,
from and including the date paid or disbursed to but not including the date the
Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum which shall
be the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin as in effect from time to
time (plus an additional 2% per annum if not reimbursed by the third Business
Day after the date of such notice of payment or disbursement), such interest
also to be payable on demand.

          (b) The Borrower’s obligation under this Section 2.03 to
reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings
(including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional
under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or
defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the Letter of
Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including, without
limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of
Credit to conform substantially to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any
non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such
drawing provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse the
Letter of Credit Issuer for any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit
Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting
willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit
Issuer as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

          2.04 Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the
issuance by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the Letter of
Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other RF
Lender, and each such RE Lender (each, a “Participant”) shall be deemed
irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Letter
of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation, to the extent of such Participant’s Adjusted RF Percentage, in
such Letter of Credit, each substitute letter of credit, each drawing made
thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect
thereto (although the Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable directly to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the RF Lenders as provided in Section
3.01(b) and the Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any
Facing Fees) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any
change in the Adjusted RF Percentages pursuant to Section 1.13 and/or 12.04(b)
and/or as a result of a Lender Default, it is hereby agreed that, with respect
to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings, there shall be an
automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2.04 to
reflect the new Adjusted RF Percentages of all of the Lenders with RF
Commitments as a result thereof.

          (b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit,
the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any obligation relative to the
Participants other than to determine that any documents required to be delivered
under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they substantially
comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action
taken or omitted to be taken by the Letter of Credit Issuer under or in
connection with any Letter of Credit if taken or omitted in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct as

-13-

 

determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not create for the Letter
of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.

          (c) In the event that the Letter of
Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower
shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to the Letter of Credit Issuer
pursuant to Section 2.03 (a), the Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify
the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and
unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of
Credit Issuer, the amount of such Participant’s Adjusted RF Percentage of such
payment in Dollars and in same day funds provided that no Participant shall be
obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent its Adjusted RF Percentage of such
unreimbursed amount for any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer
under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful
misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer. If the Administrative
Agent so notifies any Participant prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any
Business Day, such Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent,
such Participant’s Adjusted RF Percentage of the amount of such payment on such
Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not
have so made its Adjusted RF Percentage of the amount of such Unpaid Drawing
available to the Administrative Agent, such Participant agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith
on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such
date until the date such amount is so paid to the Administrative Agent at the
overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate. The failure of any Participant to so pay
to the Administrative Agent its Adjusted RF Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing
shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to so pay to
the Administrative Agent its Adjusted RF Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing on the
date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for
the failure of any other Participant to so pay to the Administrative Agent such
other Participant’s Adjusted RF Percentage of any such payment.

          (d) Whenever the Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment of
a reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for
the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the Participants
pursuant to clause (c) above, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay to the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each
Participant which has paid its Adjusted RF Percentage thereof, in Dollars and in
same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s Adjusted RF Percentage of
the principal amount thereof and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of
the respective participations.

          (e) The obligations of the Participants to make
payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit
Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject
to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or
exception whatsoever (provided that no Participant shall be required to make
payments resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall be made
in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

-14-

 

          (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement
or any of the other Credit Documents;

          (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other
right which any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries may have at any time
against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter
of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Agent,
the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or other Person, whether in connection
with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein
or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the
Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

          (iii) any draft, certificate or other document presented under
the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect;

          (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the
performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

          (v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

          (f) To the extent the Letter of Credit Issuer is not
indemnified by the Borrower, the Participants will reimburse and indemnify the
Letter of Credit Issuer, in proportion to their respective RF Percentages, for
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind
or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Letter of
Credit Issuer in performing its respective duties in any way relating to or
arising out of its issuance of Letters of Credit; provided that no Participants
shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting from the Letter of Credit Issuer’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

          2.05 Increased Costs. If at any time after the Effective Date,
the adoption or initial effectiveness of any applicable law, rule or regulation,
or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Letter
of Credit Issuer or any Participant with any request or directive (whether or
not having the force of law) first made by any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, in each case after the Effective Date, shall either (i)
impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or
similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit
Issuer or such Participant’s participation therein, or (ii) shall impose on the
Letter of Credit Issuer or any Participant any other conditions affecting this
Agreement, any Letter of Credit or such Participant’s participation therein; and
the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Letter of
Credit Issuer or such Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in
any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable
by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant hereunder (other than any
increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from
the imposition of or a change in the rate of taxes or similar charges), then,
within 10 Business Days of Borrower’s receipt of a written

-15-

 

demand to the Borrower by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant (a
copy of which notice shall be sent by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such
Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Letter
of Credit Issuer or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant for such increased
cost or reduction. A certificate submitted to the Borrower by the Letter of
Credit Issuer or such Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which
certificate shall be sent by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant to
the Administrative Agent), setting forth the basis for, and reasonably detailed
calculations of, the determination of such additional amount or amounts
necessary to compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant as
aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error,
although the failure to deliver any such certificate shall not release or
diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to
this Section 2.05 upon the subsequent receipt thereof.

          SECTIONS.
Fees; Commitments.

          3.01 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent a commitment commission (“Commitment Commission”) for the
account of each RF Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender for the period from
and including the Initial Borrowing Date to but not including the date upon
which the Total Revolving Commitment has been terminated, computed for each day
at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage for such day on the
Unutilized Revolving Commitment on such day of such Lender. Such Commitment
Commission shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each
January, April, July and October and on the date upon which the Total Revolving
Commitment is terminated.

          (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of each RF Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender, pro rata on
the basis of their respective Adjusted RF Percentages, a fee in respect of all
Letters of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) computed for each day at a per
annum rate equal to 50% of the Applicable Eurodollar Margin for Revolving Loans
on such day multiplied by the Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding
on such day. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each January, April, July and October of
each year and on the date upon which the Total Revolving Commitment is
terminated.

          (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer
a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Facing Fee”)
computed for each day at the rate of 1/4 of 1% per annum on the Stated Amount of
all Letters of Credit outstanding on such day, provided that in no event shall
the annual Facing Fee with respect to any Letter of Credit be less than $500.
Accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Business Day of each January, April, July and October of each year and on the
date upon which the Total Revolving Commitment is terminated.

          (d) The Borrower agrees to pay directly to the Letter of
Credit Issuer upon each issuance of, payment under, and/or amendment of, a
Letter of Credit such amount as shall at the time of such issuance, payment or
amendment be the administrative charge which the Letter of Credit Issuer is
customarily charging for issuances of, payments under or amendments of, letters
of credit issued by it.

-16-

 

          (e) The Borrower shall pay to (x) each Agent on the
Restatement Effective Date, for its own account and/or for distribution to the
Lenders, such fees as heretofore agreed by the Borrower and the Agents and (y)
the Administrative Agent, for its own account, such other fees as agreed to
between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, when and as due.

          (f) All
computations of Fees shall be made in accordance with Section 12.07(b).

          3.02 Reduction of Revolving Commitments. (a) Upon at least one
Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing)
to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which notice shall be deemed
to be given on a certain day only if given before 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on
such day and shall be promptly transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each
of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, without premium or penalty,
to terminate or partially reduce the Total Unutilized Revolving Commitment
provided that (x) any such partial reduction shall apply to proportionately and
permanently reduce the Revolving Commitment of each Lender, (y) no such
reduction shall reduce any Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment in an
amount greater than the then Unutilized Revolving Commitment of such Lender and
(z) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be in the amount
of at least $1,000,000.

          (b) The Total Revolving Commitment shall terminate in its
entirety on the A/RF Maturity Date.

          SECTION 4. Payments.

          4.01 Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right
to prepay Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, from time to
time on the following terms and conditions: (i) the Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent at the Payment Office written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay the Loans, whether such
Loans are A Term Loans, B Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, the
amount of such prepayment and (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) the specific
Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made, which notice shall be given by the Borrower
prior to 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Business Day prior to the date of such
prepayment (or in the case of Swingline Loans on the day of prepayment), and
which notice shall promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each
of the Lenders; (ii) (x) each partial prepayment of any Loans (other than of
Swingline Loans) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least
$1,000,000 and (y) each partial prepayment of Swingline Loans shall be in an
aggregate principal amount of at least $250,000, provided that no partial
prepayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall reduce the
aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing
to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto; (iii)
each prepayment in respect of A Term Loans or B Term Loans shall be applied pro
rata among all the then outstanding A Term Loans or B Term Loans, as the case
may be, and each prepayment in respect of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing
shall be applied pro rata among such Loans provided that at the Borrower’s
election in connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this
Section 4.01, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Revolving Loans of a
Defaulting Lender; and (iv) each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this
Section 4.01 shall be applied between the A Term Loans on the one hand and B
Term Loans on the other as the Borrower may elect, with any such prepayments to
be allocated (I) first, in

-17-

 

direct order of maturity to those Scheduled Repayments applicable to the Term
Loans being repaid which will be due and payable within 12 months after the date
of the respective payment and (II) second, to the extent in excess thereof, on a
pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount thereof) to all
remaining Scheduled Repayments applicable to the Term Loans being repaid.

          4.02 Mandatory Prepayments.

          (A) Requirements:

          (a) (i) If on any date (and after giving effect to all other
repayments on such date) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount
of Revolving Loans made by Non-Defaulting Lenders, the principal amount of
Swingline Loans and the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Adjusted Total
Revolving Commitment as then in effect, the Borrower shall repay on such date
the principal of outstanding Swingline Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have
been repaid in full, Revolving Loans of Non-Defaulting Lenders in an aggregate
amount equal to such excess. If after giving effect to the repayment of all
outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans of Non-Defaulting Lenders, the
Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Adjusted Total Revolving Commitment
then in effect, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount in
cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to such excess and the Administrative Agent
shall hold such payment as security for the obligations of the Borrower in
respect of Letters of Credit pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be
entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent (which shall permit certain investments in Cash Equivalents reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, until all proceeds are applied to the
secured obligations or until all Letters of Credit so secured expire undrawn or
are otherwise terminated or all drawings thereunder are paid, at which time such
amount shall be returned to the Borrower).

          (ii) If on any date the aggregate outstanding principal amount
of the Revolving Loans made by a Defaulting Lender exceeds the Revolving
Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall repay principal of
Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender in an amount equal to such excess.

          (b) (i) On each date set forth below, the Borrower shall repay
the principal amount of A Term Loans set forth opposite such date (each such
repayment, together with each repayment of B Term Loans required by clause
(b)(ii) below, as the same may be reduced as provided in Sections 4.01 and
4.02(B), a “Scheduled Repayment”):

          (c) On the third Business Day following the date of receipt
thereof by the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries of the Net Cash Proceeds
from any Asset Sale, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such
Asset Sale shall be applied as a mandatory repayment of principal of the then
outstanding Term Loans, provided that up to an aggregate of $20,000,000 per year
(but no more than $50,000,000 in the aggregate for all Asset Sales after the
Initial Borrowing Date) of the Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales shall not be
required to be used to so repay Term Loans to the extent the Borrower elects,
as hereinafter provided, to cause such Net Cash Proceeds to be reinvested in
Reinvestment Assets (a “Reinvestment Election”). The Borrower may exercise its
Reinvestment Election (within the parameters specified in the preceding
sentence) with respect to an Asset Sale if (x) no Default or Event of Default
exists and (y) the Borrower delivers a Reinvestment Notice to the Administrative
Agent no later than three Business Days following the date of the consummation
of the respective Asset Sale, with such Reinvestment Election being effective
with respect to the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale equal to the
Anticipated Reinvestment Amount specified in such Reinvestment Notice.

          (d) On the date of the receipt thereof by the Borrower and/or
any of its Subsidiaries, an amount equal to 100% of the proceeds (net of
underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs associated
therewith) of the incurrence of Indebtedness by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness permitted by Section 8.04), shall be
applied as a mandatory repayment of principal of the then outstanding Term
Loans.

          (e) On the date of the receipt thereof by the Borrower, an amount equal
to the EP Percentage of the proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and
commissions and other reasonable costs associated therewith) of any sale or
issuance of its equity or any equity contribution (other than equity issued to
management and other employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) shall be
applied as a mandatory repayment of principal of the then outstanding Term
Loans.

          (f) On each date which is 120 days after the last day of each fiscal year
of the Borrower (commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2002),
an amount equal to 75% (or, if the Leverage Ratio on the last day of such fiscal
year is less than 3.0:1.0, 50%) of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year then
last ended (if positive) shall be applied as a mandatory repayment of principal
of the then outstanding Term Loans.

          (g) On the Reinvestment Prepayment Date with respect to a
Reinvestment Election, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount, if
any, for such Reinvestment Election shall be applied as a repayment of the
principal amount of the then outstanding Term Loans.

-20-

 

          (h) To the extent not theretofore repaid pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, (i) all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be
repaid in full on the Swingline Expiry Date and (ii) all outstanding Swingline
Loans and Revolving Loans shall be repaid in full upon the termination of the
Total Revolving Commitment.

          (B) Application:

          (a) Each mandatory repayment of Term Loans required to be made
pursuant to Sections 4.02(A)(c) through (g) shall be applied to the outstanding
A Term Loans, if any, pro rata among same in an amount equal to the A TF
Percentage of such prepayment and to the outstanding B Term Loans, if any, pro
rata among same in an amount equal to the B TF Percentage of such prepayment,
with any such prepayments to be allocated to reduce the then remaining Scheduled
Repayments applicable to the Term Loans being repaid (I) first, in direct order
of maturity to those Scheduled Repayments which will be due and payable within
12 months after the date of the respective payment and (II) second, to the
extent in excess thereof, on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining
principal amount of each such Scheduled Repayment).

          (b) With respect to each prepayment of Loans required by
Section 4.02, the Borrower may designate the Types of Loans which are to be
prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) under the affected Facility pursuant to
which made provided that (i) if any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant
to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Loans made pursuant to such
Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount for such
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be immediately converted into Base Rate Loans;
(ii) each prepayment of any Loans under a Facility shall be applied pro rata
among such Loans; and (iii) except for the differing treatments of Defaulting
Lenders and Non-Defaulting Lenders as expressly provided in Section 4.02(A)(a),
each prepayment of any Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be
applied pro rata among such Eurodollar Loans. In the absence of a designation by
the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent
shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a
view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 1.11.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 4.02(B)(a), with respect to any mandatory repayments of B Term Loans
otherwise required pursuant to Section 4.02(A), if on or prior to the date the
respective mandatory repayment is otherwise required to be made pursuant to such
Section, the Borrower has given the Administrative Agent written notification
that the Borrower has elected, in its sole discretion, to give each Lender with
a B Term Loan the right to waive such Lender’s rights to receive its pro rata
percentage of such repayment (any such repayment, a “Specified Repayment”), the
Administrative Agent shall notify such Lenders thereof and the amount required
to be applied to each such Lender’s B Term Loans pursuant to the Specified
Repayment. In the event any such Lender desires to waive its right to receive
any or all of its percentage of the Specified Repayment, such Lender shall so
advise in writing the Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 P.M. (New York
time) two Business Days after the date of such notice from the Administrative
Agent, which reply shall also include the amount, if any, of its portion of the
Specified Repayment that such Lender still desires to receive. If any such
Lender does not reply to the Administrative Agent within the two Business Day
period or responds but does not specify the amount of the Specified Repayment

-21-

 

that such Lender wishes to receive, if any, such Lender will be deemed to have
elected to receive 100% of the Specified Repayment. In the event that any such
Lender waives its right to any such Specified Repayment, the Administrative
Agent shall apply 100% of the amount so waived by such Lenders to repay the A
Term Loans as otherwise provided in this Section 4.02(B). All payments of the B
Term Loans shall be made pro rata among same reduced for any Lender who has
waived any of its portion of a Specified Repayment by the amount so waived.

          4.03 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made to
the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled
thereto, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date when due and shall
be made in immediately available funds and in Dollars at the Payment Office, it
being understood that written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent
to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account at the Payment Office
shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in
such account. Any payments under this Agreement which are made later than 1:00
P.M. (New York time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding
Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made here- under shall be stated to be
due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal,
interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect
immediately prior to such extension.

          4.04
Net Payments. (a) All payments made by any Credit Party
hereunder or under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other
defense. Except as provided in Section 4.04(b), all such payments will be made
free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of
whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments
(but excluding, except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, any tax
imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of a Lender pursuant to
the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in
which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is
located or any subdivision thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or
similar liabilities with respect to such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts,
duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such non-excluded taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to
collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower
agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may
be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or
under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes,
will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note. If any
amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the preceding sentence, the
Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender, upon the written request of such
Lender, for taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of
such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is
organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such
Lender is located or under the laws of any political subdivision or taxing
authority of any such jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which
the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located and
for any withholding of taxes as such Lender shall determine are payable by, or
withheld from, such Lender, in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf
of such Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and in respect of any amounts
paid to or on behalf of such Lender

-22-

 

pursuant to this sentence. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent
within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to
applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the
Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and
reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so
levied or imposed and paid by such Lender.

          (b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such
term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or
prior to the Effective Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or
transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 1.13 or 12.04
(unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior
to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to
such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption
under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s
entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with
respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii)
if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form
W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty)
pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit C (or Exhibit C-l if on or after the Restatement Effective Date) (any
such certificate, a “Section 4.04 Certificate”) and (y)two accurate and complete
original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to
the portfolio interest exception) (or successor form) certifying to such
Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax
with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under
any Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the
Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the
previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and
complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN
(with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) or Form W-8BEN
(with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 4.04
Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in
order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued
exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to
payments under this Agreement and any Note, or it shall immediately notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form
or Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any
such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 4.04(b). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.04(a), but subject to Section
12.04(b) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower shall be
entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold
income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, Fees or other
amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United
States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for
U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided
to the Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete
exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the Borrower shall not be
obligated pursuant to Section 4.04(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to
a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States if
(I) such Lender has not provided to the Borrower the Internal Revenue Service
Forms
required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant

-23-

 

to this Section 4.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest,
to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such Forms do not
establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in
this Section 4.04 and except as set forth in Section 12.04(b), the Borrower
agrees to pay any additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner
set forth in Section 4.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction
requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any Taxes deducted or
withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of
any changes after the Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental
rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating
to the deducting or withholding of such Taxes.

          SECTION
5. Conditions Precedent.

          5.01 Conditions Precedent to All Credit Events. The obligation
of each Lender to make Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans and the obligation of
the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue any Letter of Credit is subject, at the
time of each such Credit Event, to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

          (a) Notice of Borrowing; Letter of Credit Request. The
Administrative Agent shall have received a Notice of Borrowing meeting the
requirements of Section 1.02 or a Letter of Credit Request meeting the
requirements of Section 2.02, as the case may be.

          (b) No Default; Representations and Warranties. At the time of
each Credit Event and also after giving effect thereto, (i) there shall exist no
Default or Event of Default and (ii) all representations and warranties made by
any Credit Party contained herein or in the other Credit Documents shall be true
and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such
representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such
Credit Event, except to the extent that such representations and warranties
expressly relate to an earlier date.

          The acceptance of the benefits of each Credit Event shall
constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the
applicable conditions specified in Section 5.01 exist as of that time.

          SECTION 6. Representations, Warranties and Agreements. In
order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans
and issue and/or participate in Letters of Credit provided for herein, the
Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to, and agreements
with, the Lenders, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the making of the Loans:

          6.01 Corporate Status. Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries (i) is a duly organized and validly existing corporation,
partnership and/or limited liability company and is in good standing, in each
case under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has the
organizational power and authority to own its property and assets and to
transact the business in which it is engaged and (ii) is duly qualified and is
authorized to do business and, to the extent relevant, is in good standing in
all jurisdictions where it is required to be so qualified and where the failure
to be so qualified, authorized or in good standing is reasonably likely to have
a Material Adverse Effect.

-24-

 

          6.02 Corporate Power and Authority. Each Credit Party has the
organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms
and provisions of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and has taken all
necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the
Credit Documents to which it is a party. Each Credit Party has duly executed and
delivered each Credit Document to which it is a party and each such Credit
Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the
enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting
creditors’ rights generally or general equitable principles (regardless of
whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

          6.03 No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or
performance by any Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party
nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof, (i) will contravene any
applicable provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ,
injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will
conflict or be inconsistent with or result in any breach of, any of the terms,
covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or (other
than pursuant to the Security Documents) result in the creation or imposition of
(or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or
assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other material agreement or instrument to
which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any
of its property or assets are bound or to which it may be subject or (iii) will
violate any provision of the organizational documents (including by-laws) of the
Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries.

          6.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits
or proceedings pending or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened with respect
to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) that have, or that could
reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that have, or
that could reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the
rights or remedies of the Lenders or on the ability of the Credit Parties taken
as a whole to perform their obligations under the other Credit Documents.

          6.05 Margin Regulations. Neither the making of any Loan
hereunder (including the Additional Term Loans), nor the use of the proceeds
thereof, will violate the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System and no part of the proceeds of any Loan
will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for-the
purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. The proceeds of all Loans
have been utilized in conformity with Section 7.11.

          6.06 Governmental Approvals. Except for filings and recordings
in connection with the Security Documents and to the extent any Notices are
required to be filed, no order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or
validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any
foreign or domestic governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision
thereof, is required to authorize or is required in connection with (i) the
execution, delivery and performance of any Credit Document or (ii) the legality,
validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Credit Document except, in any
such case, as expressly provided herein or in the Security Documents.

-25-

 

          6.07 Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any of
its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an
“investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended.

          6.08 Public Utility Holding Company Act. Neither the Borrower
nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “holding company,” or a “subsidiary company” of
a “holding company,” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or of a
“subsidiary company” of a “holding company” within the meaning of the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

          6.09 True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information
(taken as a whole) heretofore or contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in writing to the Agents or any Lender
for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction
contemplated herein is, and all other such factual information (taken as a
whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party in writing to the
Lenders hereunder will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the
date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by
omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information (taken as
a whole) not misleading at such time in light of the circumstances under which
such information was provided. The projections and pro forma financial
information contained in such materials are based on good faith estimates and
assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being
recognized by the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to
be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered
by any such projections may differ from the projected results. There is no fact
known to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than matters relating to
general economic conditions or conditions affecting the Business generally)
which would have a Material Adverse Effect, which has not been disclosed herein
or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Lenders
for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

          6.10
Financial Condition; Financial Statements. (a) On and as
of the Restatement Effective Date, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to
the Transaction and all Indebtedness incurred, and to be incurred, and Liens
created, and to be created, by each Credit Party in connection therewith, (x)
the fair valuation of all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will exceed their debts, (y) the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries will not have incurred or intended to incur debts
beyond their ability to pay such debts as such debts mature and (z) the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries will not have unreasonably small capital with
which to conduct their business. For purposes of this Section 6.10, “debt” means
any liability on a claim, and “claim” means (i) right to payment whether or not
such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed,
contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured
or unsecured; or (ii) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if
such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable
remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed,
undisputed, secured or unsecured.

          (b) The consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower at December
31, 2001 and March 31, 2002 and the related consolidated statements of
operations and cash flows of the Borrower for the fiscal year or three month
ended as of said dates, which, in the case of the annual financial statements,
have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP independent certified

-26-

 

public accountants, who delivered an unqualified opinion in respect therewith,
copies of all of which have heretofore been furnished to the Administrative
Agent, present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries at the dates of said statements and the results for the periods
covered thereby in accordance with GAAP, except to the extent provided in the
notes to said financial statements and, in the case of the March 31, 2002
financial statements, subject to normal year-end audit adjustment. The
consolidated balance sheet of USMR at December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2002 and
the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows of USMR for the
fiscal year or three month ended as of said dates, which, in the case of the
annual financial statements, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent
certified public accountants, who delivered an unqualified opinion in respect
therewith, copies of all of which have heretofore been furnished to the
Administrative Agent, present fairly the consolidated financial position of USMR
and its Subsidiaries at the dates of said statements and the results for the
periods covered thereby in accordance with GAAP, except to the extent provided
in the notes to said financial statements and, in the case of the March 31, 2002
financial statements, subject to normal year-end audit adjustment. All of the
foregoing financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and
practices consistently applied except to the extent provided in the notes to
said financial statements. The pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the
Borrower as of June 30, 2002, a copy of which has heretofore been furnished to
the Administrative Agent, presents a good faith estimate of the consolidated pro
forma financial condition of the Borrower (after giving effect to the
Transaction) as at the date thereof. Nothing has occurred since December 31,
2001 that has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (c) Except as reflected in the financial statements described
in Section 6.10(b) or in the footnotes thereto, there were as of the Restatement
Effective Date no liabilities or obligations with respect to the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries of a nature (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or
otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in aggregate,
would be material to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except
as incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices.

          6.11 Security Interests. On and after the Restatement
Effective Date, each of the Security Documents creates, as security for the
obligations purported to be secured thereby, a valid and enforceable security
interest in and Lien on all of the Collateral subject thereto, superior to and
prior to the rights of all third Persons and subject to no other Liens (other
than Permitted Liens relating thereto), in favor of the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Creditors, which have been (or will be within the time
required by the Credit Documents) perfected under applicable law. No filings or
recordings are required in order to perfect, or continue the perfection of, the
security interests created under any Security Document except for filings or
recordings required in connection with any such Security Document (other than
the Pledge Agreement) which (x) shall have been made upon or prior to (or are
the subject of arrangements, reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent, for filing on or promptly after the date of) the execution and delivery
thereof and/or (y) constitute supplemental filings in respect of after acquired
property or continuation statements.

          6.12 Tax Returns and Payments. Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries has filed all federal income tax returns and all other material tax
returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed by it and has paid all
material taxes and assessments payable by it which

-27-

 

have become due, except for those contested in good faith and adequately
disclosed and fully provided for on the financial statements of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries if and to the extent required by GAAP. Each of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries have at all times paid, or have provided adequate reserves (in
the good faith judgment of the management of the Borrower) for the payment of,
all federal, state and foreign income taxes applicable for all prior fiscal
years which are still open for audit and for the current fiscal year to date.
There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit, or claim now pending
or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by any authority regarding any
taxes relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          6.13 Compliance with ERISA. (a) (i) Annex VI sets forth each
Plan and Multiemployer Plan as of the Restatement Effective Date, after giving
effect to the Transaction; (ii) except as set forth on Annex VI, each Plan (and
each related trust, insurance contract or fund) is in substantial compliance
with its terms and with all applicable laws, including, without limitation,
ERISA and the Code; each Plan (and each related trust, if any) which is intended
to be qualified under Section 401 (a) of the Code has received a determination
letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that it meets the
requirements of Sections 401 (a) and 501 (a) of the Code; no Reportable Event
has occurred with respect to a Plan; to the knowledge of Borrower, no
Multiemployer Plan is insolvent or in reorganization; no Plan has an Unfunded
Current Liability which, when added to the aggregate amount of Unfunded Current
Liabilities with respect to all other Plans, exceeds $10,000,000; no Plan which
is subject to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA has an accumulated
funding deficiency, within the meaning of such sections of the Code or ERISA, or
has applied for or received a waiver of an accumulated funding deficiency or an
extension of any amortization period, within the meaning of Section 412 of the
Code or Section 303 or 304 of ERISA; all contributions required to be made with
respect to a Plan or a Multiemployer Plan have been timely made; neither the
Borrower nor any Subsidiary nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material
liability (including any indirect, contingent or secondary liability) to or on
account of a Plan or a Multiemployer Plan pursuant to Section 409, 502(i),
502(1), 515, 4062, 4063, 4064, 4069, 4201, 4204 or 4212 of ERISA or Section
401(a)(29), 4971 or 4975 of the Code or reasonably expects to incur any such
liability under any of the foregoing sections with respect to any Plan or any
Multiemployer Plan; no condition exists which presents a material risk to the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring a liability to or
on account of a Plan or, to the knowledge of Borrower, of any Multiemployer Plan
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of ERISA and the Code; no proceedings have
been instituted to terminate or appoint a trustee to administer any Plan which
is subject to Title IV of ERISA; no action, suit, proceeding, hearing, audit or
investigation with respect to the administration, operation or the investment of
assets of any Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) is pending, expected
or threatened; using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent
with Part 1 of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries and its ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer
Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the
most recent fiscal year of each such Plan ended prior to the date of the most
recent Credit Event, would not exceed $10,000,000; except as would not result in
a material liability, each group health plan (as defined in Section 607(1) of
ERISA or Section 4980B(g)(2) of the Code) which covers or has covered employees
or former employees of the Borrower, any Subsidiary, or any ERISA Affiliate has
at all times been operated in compliance with the provisions of Part 6 of
subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code; no lien imposed
under the Code or ERISA on the assets of the

-28-

 

Borrower or any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate exists or is reasonably likely
to arise on account of any Plan or Multiemployer Plan; and the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries may cease contributions to or terminate any employee benefit plan
maintained by any of them without incurring any material liability.

          (ii) Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in
substantial compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all
applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been
maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory
authorities. All contributions required to be made with respect to a Foreign
Pension Plan have been timely made. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of
or withdrawal from any Foreign Pension Plan. The present value of the accrued
benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan,
determined as of the end of the Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year on
the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed
the current value of the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such
benefit liabilities by more than $1,000,000.

          6.14 Subsidiaries. On and as of the
Restatement Effective Date, after giving effect to the Transaction, the Borrower
has no Subsidiaries other than those Subsidiaries listed on Annex III. Annex III
correctly sets forth, as of the Restatement Effective Date, the percentage
ownership (direct and indirect) of the Borrower in each class of capital stock
of each of its Subsidiaries and also identifies the direct owner thereof.

          6.15 Intellectual Property. Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries owns or holds a valid license to use all the patents, trademarks,
service marks, trade names, technology, know-how, copyrights, licenses,
franchises and formulas or rights with respect to the foregoing, that are used
in the operation of the business of the Borrower or such Subsidiary as presently
conducted and are material to such business where the failure to own or hold a
valid license is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          6.16 Environmental Matters. (a) Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws governing
its business for which failure to comply is reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect, and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is liable
for any material penalties, fines or forfeitures for failure to comply with any
of the foregoing in the manner set forth above. All licenses, permits,
registrations or approvals required for the business of the Borrower and each of
its Subsidiaries, as conducted as of the Restatement Effective Date, under any
Environmental Law have been secured and each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries is in substantial compliance therewith, except such licenses,
permits, registrations or approvals the failure to secure or to comply therewith
is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower
nor any of its Subsidiaries is in any respect in noncompliance with, breach of
or default under any applicable writ, order, judgment, injunction, or decree to
which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is a party or which could affect the
ability of the Borrower or such Subsidiary to operate any real property and no
event has occurred and is continuing which, with the passage of time or the
giving of notice or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute
noncompliance, breach of or default thereunder, except in each such case, such
noncompliance, breaches or defaults as are not reasonably likely to, in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. There are as of the

-29-

 

Restatement Effective Date no Environmental Claims pending or, to the best
knowledge of the Borrower threatened, which (i) question the validity, term or
entitlement of the Borrower or any Subsidiary for any permit, license, order or
registration required for the operation of any facility which the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries currently operates and (ii) wherein any decision, ruling
or finding is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no
facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences concerning the business or
operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Real Property at
any time owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or on any
property adjacent to any such Real Property that could reasonably be expected
(i) to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the Borrower, any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective Real Property or (ii) to cause any such
currently owned or operated Real Property to be subject to any restrictions on
the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of such Real Property under any
Environmental Law, except in each such case, such Environmental Claims or
restrictions that individually, or in the aggregate, are not reasonably likely
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) Hazardous Materials have not at any time been (i)
generated, used, treated or stored on, or transported to or from, any Real
Property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii)
released on or from any such Real Property, in each case where such occurrence
or event individually or in the aggregate is reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

          6.17 Properties. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries
have good and marketable title to, or a validly subsisting leasehold interest
in, all material properties owned and used by them, including all Real Property
reflected in the consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and USMR, in each
case at December 31, 2001 referred to in Section 6.10(b), free and clear of all
Liens, other than (i) as referred to in such consolidated balance sheets or in
the notes thereto or (ii) otherwise permitted by Section 8.03. Annex IV contains
a true and complete list of each Real Property owned or leased by the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries (with an annual base rental obligation in excess of
$250,000) as of the Restatement Effective Date, and the type of interest therein
held by the Borrower or the respective Subsidiary.

          6.18 Labor Relations. No Credit Party is engaged in any unfair
labor practice that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. There is (i) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against any
Credit Party or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened against any of them,
before the National Labor Relations Board, and no grievance or arbitration
proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement is so
pending against any Credit Party or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened
against any of them, (ii) no strike, labor dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending
against any Credit Party or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened against
any Credit Party and (iii) no union representation question existing with
respect to the employees of any Credit Party and no union organizing activities
are taking place, except with respect to any matter specified in clause (i),
(ii) or (iii) above, either individually or in the aggregate, such as is not
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          6.19 Compliance with Statutes, etc. Each of the Borrower and
each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable statutes,
regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all
governmental bodies, domestic or foreign, in respect of the

-30-

 

conduct of its business and the ownership of its property, except such
non-compliance as is not reasonably likely to, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 7. Affirmative Covenants. The Borrower hereby
covenants and agrees that for so long as this Agreement is in effect and until
the Commitments have terminated, no Letters of Credit or Notes are outstanding
and the Loans and Unpaid Drawings, together with interest, Fees and all other
Obligations (other than any indemnities described in Section 12.13 which are not
then owing) incurred hereunder, are paid in full:

          7.01 Information Covenants. The Borrower will furnish to each
Lender:

          (a) Annual Financial Statements. Within 120 days after the
close of each fiscal year of the Borrower, the audited consolidated balance

and the related consolidated statements of operations and of cash flows for such
fiscal year and setting forth comparative consolidated figures for the preceding
fiscal year, and examined by independent certified public accountants of
recognized national standing whose opinion shall not be qualified as to the
scope of audit and as to the status of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor
as a going concern, together with a certificate of such accounting firm stating
that in the course of its regular audit of the business of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, which audit was conducted in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, no Default or Event of Default which has occurred and is
continuing has come to their attention or, if such a Default or Event of Default
has come to their attention a statement as to the nature thereof.

          (b) Quarterly Financial Statements. Within 45 days after the
close of each of the first three quarterly accounting periods in each fiscal
year, the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, as at the end of such quarterly period and the related unaudited
consolidated statements of operations and of cash flows for such quarterly

Subsidiaries to undertake, any clean up, removal, remedial or other action

representation or covenant herein with respect to any environmental matters
affecting any Mortgaged Property and such breach is continuing and/or a notice
has been provided under Section 7.01(g), the Borrower will provide, at its sole
cost and expense (or will cause the relevant Subsidiary to provide at its sole
cost and expense), an environmental site assessment report reasonable in scope
concerning any Mortgaged Property that is the subject of the breach or notice of
the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, prepared by an environmental consulting firm
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, indicating the presence or
Release or absence of Hazardous Materials on or from any such Mortgaged Property
and the potential cost of any removal or remedial action in connection with any
Hazardous Materials on such Mortgaged Property. If the Borrower fails to provide
the same after thirty days’ notice and the Event of Default is continuing, the
Administrative Agent may order the same, and the Borrower shall grant and hereby
grants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their agents access to
such Mortgaged Property and specifically grants the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders an irrevocable non-exclusive license, subject to the rights of tenants,

occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Required
Banks may direct the Administrative Agent to file Notices with respect to any or
all of the contracts of the Credit Parties with the U.S. government or any
branch, agency, bureau or subdivision thereof. After any such filing and for so
long as an Event of Default is continuing, the Credit Parties shall take all
action necessary to maintain such filings and to make filings with respect to
any additional material contracts between a Credit Party and the U.S. government
or any branch, agency, bureau or subdivision thereof.

all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with
this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not
such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said
Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or
unmatured.

          12.03 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices
and
other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including
telegraphic, telex,
telecopier, facsimile or cable communication) and mailed, telegraphed,
telexed, telecopied,
faxed, cabled or delivered, if to a Credit Party, at the address specified
opposite its signature
below or in the other relevant Credit Documents, as the case may be; if to
any Lender, at its
address specified for such Lender on Annex II hereto; or, at such other
address as shall be
designated by any party in a written notice to the other parties hereto.
All such notices and
communications shall be mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, or

          12.04 Benefit of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors
and assigns of the parties
hereto, provided that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its
rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders. Each Lender
may at any time grant
participations in any of its rights hereunder or under any of the Notes to
another financial
institution, provided that in the case of any such participation, the
participant shall not have any
rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the
participant’s rights against
such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the
agreement executed by
such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts
payable by the Borrower
hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such
participation, except that the
participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 1.10, 2.05 and
4.04 of this Agreement to
the extent that such Lender would be entitled to such benefits if the
participation had not been
entered into or sold, and, provided further, that no Lender shall
transfer, grant or assign any
participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any
amendment to or
waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent
such amendment or
waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note
in which such
participant is participating (it being understood that any waiver of the
application of any
prepayment or the method of any application of any prepayment to, the
amortization of the Term
Loans shall not constitute an extension of the final maturity date), or
reduce the rate or extend the
time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a
waiver of the
applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce
the principal amount
thereof, or increase such participant’s participating interest in any
Commitment over the amount
thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default
or Event of Default or of a
mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment, or a mandatory prepayment,
shall not constitute a
change in the terms of any Commitment), (ii) release all or substantially
all of the Collateral or

-78-

 

(iii)  consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) any Lender may assign all or a
portion of its outstanding A Term Loans and/or B Term Loans and/or Revolving
Commitment and its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) one or more Lenders,
and/or any Affiliates of such Lender, in each case which are Eligible
Transferees, or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in
loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed and/or advised by
the same investment advisor of such Lender or by an Affiliate of such
investment advisor, and (y) with the consent of the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld and (I) in the
case of the Borrower, shall not be required (A) if a Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and is continuing or (B) in the case of assignments
of B Term Loans (other than B Term Loans II prior to the Syndication Date) and
(II) in the case of the Administrative Agent, shall not be required in the case
of assignments of B Term Loans by Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. (or any of its
affiliates)), any Lender may assign all or a portion of its outstanding A Term
Loans and/or B Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitment and its rights and
obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund
that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed
and/or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate
of such investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment
advisor as a single Eligible Transferee). No assignment pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence shall to the extent such assignment represents
an assignment to an institution other than one or more Lenders hereunder, be in
an aggregate amount less than (i) in the case of A Term Loans and Revolving
Commitments $5,000,000 (the “A/RF Minimum Assignment Amount”) and (ii) in the
case of B Term Loans, $2,000,000 (the “B Minimum Assignment Amount”), or result
in a Lender holding (x) A Term Loans and a Revolving Commitment in an amount
greater than zero but less than the A/RF Minimum Assignment Amount or (y) B
Term Loans in an amount greater than zero but less than B Minimum Assignment
Amount. If any Lender so sells or assigns all or a part of its rights hereunder
or under the Notes, any reference in this Agreement or the Notes to such
assigning Lender shall thereafter refer to such Lender and to the respective
assignee to the extent of their respective interests and the respective
assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise
provided therein), the same rights and benefits as it would if it were such
assigning Lender. Each assignment pursuant to this Section 12.04(b) shall be
effected by the assigning Lender and the assignee Lender executing an
Assignment Agreement and giving the Administrative Agent written notice
thereof. At the time of any such assignment, (i) either the assigning or the
assignee Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent a nonrefundable
assignment fee of $3,500 (or as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent),
(ii) Annex I shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the Commitments and Loans
of the respective assignee (which shall result in a direct reduction to the
Commitment or Commitments of the assigning Lender) and of the other Lenders,
and (iii) upon surrender of the old Notes the Borrower will, at its own
expense, issue new Notes to the respective assignee and to the assigning Lender
in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.05, provided further that such
transfer or assignment will not become effective until recorded by the
Administrative Agent on the Lender Register pursuant to Section 12.16. To the
extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 12.04(b) to a Person which is
not already a Lender
hereunder and which is not a United States Person (as such
term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax
purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Borrower and the
Administrative

-79-

 

Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a
Section 4.04 Certificate) described in Section 4.04(b). To the extent that an
assignment pursuant to this Section 12.04(b) would, at the time of such
assignment, result in increased costs under Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.05, or 4.04
from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such
assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased
costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased
costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the
respective assignment). Nothing in this clause (b) shall prevent or prohibit
any Lender from pledging its Notes or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank in
support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and,
with notice to (and, in the event such pledge or assignment effects a transfer
of voting rights from the pledgor to the pledgee, the consent of) the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, any Lender which is a fund may, for the
purpose of effecting a securitization program, pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to any holder of
obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender including to any
trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders. No pledge or
assignment pursuant to the preceding sentence shall release the transferor
Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower, Agents, Letter
of Credit Issuer and the other Lenders shall only be required to deal with
such transferor Lender for all purposes of this Agreement.

          (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 12.04, no
transfer or
assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender hereunder or any
grant of participation
therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would
require the Borrower to file
a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the
“Blue Sky” laws of any
State.

          (d) Each Lender initially party to this Agreement hereby represents, and
each
Person that became a Lender pursuant to an assignment permitted by this
Section 12 will, upon
its becoming party to this Agreement, represent that it is an Eligible
Transferee which makes or
invests in loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will
make or acquire Loans for
its own account in the ordinary course of such business, provided that
subject to the preceding
clauses (a) and (b), the disposition of any promissory notes or other
evidences of or interests in
Indebtedness held by such Lender shall at all times be within its
exclusive control.

          12.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of
any
Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder
or under any other
Credit Document and no course of dealing between any Credit Party and any
Agent or any
Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right,
power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude
any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege
hereunder or thereunder.
The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights
or remedies which any Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice
to or demand on
any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other
or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the
rights of the Agents or the
Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice
or demand.

          12.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) The Administrative Agent agrees that promptly
after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Credit Party in
respect of any

-80-

 

Obligations of such Credit Party hereunder, it shall distribute such payment
to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has expressly waived its right to
receive its pro rata share thereof) pro rata based upon their respective
shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was
received.

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

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
provisions of
the preceding Sections 12.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express
provisions of this
Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to
Non-Defaulting Lenders
as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

          12.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be
furnished
to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance
with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the
notes thereto or as
otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Lenders), provided
that (x) except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations of Excess
Cash Flow and all
computations determining compliance with Sections 8.11 through 8.13,
inclusive, including
definitions used therein, shall utilize accounting principles and policies
in effect at the time of the
preparation of, and in conformity with those used to prepare, the December
31, 2001 annual
consolidated financial statements of the Borrower delivered to the Lenders
pursuant to Section
6.10(b) and (y) that if at any time such computations utilize accounting
principles different from
those utilized in the financial statements furnished to the Lenders, such
financial statements shall
be accompanied by reconciliation work-sheets.

          (b) All computations of interest and Fees hereunder shall be made on the
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may
be, provided that interest on Eurodollar Loans shall be calculated on the
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.

          12.08 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury
Trial, (a) This Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the rights
and obligations of the
parties hereunder and thereunder shall, except as expressly provided for
in the other Credit
Documents, be construed in accordance with and be governed by the law of
the state of New
York. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or

of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to each
Credit Party located outside New York City and by hand delivery to each Credit
Party located within New York City, at its address for notices pursuant to
Section 12.03, such service to become effective 30 days after such mailing.
Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably designates appoints and empowers CT
Corporation System, with offices on the date hereof located at 111 Eighth
Avenue, New York, New York 10011, as its agent for service of process in
respect of any such action or proceeding. Nothing herein shall affect the
right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed
against any Credit Party in any other jurisdiction.

          (b) Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may
now
or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions
or proceedings arising out
of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document
brought in the courts
referred to in clause (a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and
agrees not to plead or
claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any
such court has been
brought in an inconvenient forum.

          (c) Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives all
right to a
trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or
relating to this
Agreement, the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby.

          12.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each

shall be lodged with the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

          12.10 Effectiveness. This Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
shall

in any way affect the
meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

          12.12 Amendment or Waiver. Neither this Agreement nor any terms hereof may
be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver,
discharge or
termination is in writing signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders,
provided that no
such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent
of each Lender (other
than a Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby, (i) extend the A/RF
Maturity Date or the B
Maturity Date (it being understood that any waiver of any prepayment of,
or the method of application of any prepayment to the amortization of, the Loans shall not
constitute any such exten-

-82-

 

sion), or extend any stated maturity or any Letter of Credit beyond the A/RF Maturity Date,
or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest (other than as a result of waiving the applicability
of any post-default increase in interest rates) or Fees thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the
Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or
Event of Default or on a mandatory reduction in the  Total Commitment on an adjustment of the Adjusted RF Percentages
as a result of a Defaulting Lender shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Commitment of any Lender), (ii) amend,
modify or waive any provision of this Section 12.12, (iii) reduce the percentage specified in, or (except to give effect to
any additional facilities hereunder) otherwise modify, the definition of “Required Lenders”, (iv) consent to the

substantially all of the Collateral; provided further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall,
(w) without the consent of each holder of A Term Loans II and/or B Term Loans II, effect an amendment to this Agreement
that is adverse to the interests of the holders of the A Term Loans II or B Term Loans II, as the case may be, in a greater
degree than it is adverse to the holders of A Term Loans I or B Term Loans I, as the case may be, (x) without the consent of
the Required TF Lenders with respect to the A Term Loans and B Term Loans, amend the definition of “Required TF Lenders”
or amend, waive or reduce any Scheduled Repayment applicable to such Term Loans, (y) without the consent of the Letter of Credit Issuer
or the Agents, as the case may be, amend any provision of Section 2, or 11, as the case may be or (z) without the consent of the
Supermajority Lenders, amend the definition of “Supermajority Lenders”
or release UDLP from the Subsidiary Guaranty.

          12.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth including,
without limitation, in Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.05, 4.04, 11.06 or 12.01 shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the making and repayment of the Loans.

          12.14 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may
transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender, provided that
the Borrower shall not be responsible for costs arising under Section 1.10, 2.05, or  4.04 resulting from any such transfer
(other than a transfer pursuant to Section 1.12) to the extent not otherwise applicable to such Lender prior to such transfer.

          12.15 Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders agrees that it
will use its best efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of the Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, counsel or other professional advisors,
to affiliates or to another Lender if the Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that an such party should have access
to such information) any information with respect to the Borrower or any of its
subsidiaries which is furnished pursuant to this Agreement and which is designated by the Borrower or the Borrower to the Lenders in writing as confidential;
provided, that any Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public, (b) as may be required or appropriate in any
report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have
jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether
in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors or to the NAIC, (c) as may be required or appropriate in response
to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation (notice of which will be promptly sent to the Borrower to the extent
permitted by Law),

-83-

 

(d)  in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to
such Lender, (e) to any prospective transferee in connection with any
contemplated transfer of any of the Notes or any interest therein by such
Lender; provided, that such prospective transferee is notified of the
confidentiality requirements relating thereto and agrees to abide by such
requirements and (f) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in
swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisors;
provided, that such contractual counterparty or such contractual
counterparty’s professional advisors, as the case may be, is notified of the
confidentiality requirements relating thereto and agrees to abide by such
requirements. No Lender shall be obligated or required to return any materials
furnished by the Borrower or any Subsidiary. The Borrower hereby agrees that
the failure of a Lender to comply with the provisions of this Section 12.15
shall not relieve the Credit Parties of any of their obligations to such
Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

          12.16 Lender Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative
Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section
12.16, to maintain a register (the “Lender Register”) on which it will record
the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lender, the Loans made by each
of the Lender and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the
Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in
such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such
Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such
Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made
pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is
recorded on the Lender Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with
respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such
recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such
Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of
assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be
recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Lender Register only upon the
acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered
Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 12.04(b). The Borrower agrees to
indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted
against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under
this Section 12.16 (but excluding such losses, claims, liabilities or
liabilities incurred by reason of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct). The Lender Register shall be available for inspection
by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time, and from time to time,
upon reasonable prior notice.

GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
