Mr. Robert H. Skinner

 

 

Dear Bob:

 

As you know, at the time I became President
and CEO of Vastera, I informed our Board of Directors, our employees, and the
investment community that I expected we would need between 18 and 24 months to
implement the changes necessary to recharge the growth of the Company.  The first 12 months of this turnaround period
has been extremely challenging, and looking forward, I expect the next 12
months to be no less challenging.

 

On behalf of the Board of Directors and
myself, I want to let you know that we view you as being instrumental to the
Company as we continue to confront and master the challenges that face us.  Because we value you and the contributions
that you have made to the Company in the past and as a means of ensuring that
you will continue to make such contributions in the future, the Company is
offering you a retention bonus in the amount of $75,000 (the “Retention Amount”).

 

In addition to your regular compensation, so
long as you remain employed by the Company through September 1, 2005, you will
be paid the Retention Amount. 
Additionally, if anytime prior to September 1, 2005: (i) the Company
terminates your employment for any reason other than “for cause” (which is
defined below) or (ii) you resign from the Company with “good reason” (which is
defined below), you will be guaranteed payment of the Retention Amount. Payment
of the Retention Amount shall be made in a single lump sum, subject to all
federal and state statutory withholdings,
in the September 15, 2005 payroll run or, if your employment has been
terminated in the manner described above, in the next pay period immediately
following the termination of your employment.

 

For purposes of this
retention letter “for cause” shall mean

(a)          your conviction
of, or the entry of a pleading of guilty or nolo contendere (no contest) by you
to, any crime involving moral turpitude that may reasonably adversely reflect
on the Company or any felony;

(b)   any willful misconduct
engaged in by you in connection with your duties or your willful failure to use
reasonable effort to perform substantially your responsibilities in the best
interest of the Company, except in cases involving your mental or physical
incapacity or disability; provided  however, that the

 

 

Company may terminate your employment pursuant to this subsection (b)
only after you fail correct or cure, or to commence and continue to pursue the
correction or curing of, such refusals within 30 days after receipt by you of
written notice from the Company of each specific claim of any such misconduct
or failure.  You shall have the
opportunity to appear before the President and CEO to discuss such written
notice during such 30-day period.  “Willful misconduct”
and “willful failure to
perform” shall not include actions or inactions on the part of
the Employee that were taken or not taken in good faith by the Employee; and

(c)          the committing
of any act of fraud, material dishonesty, or gross misconduct in connection with
the Company by you.

 

 

For purposes of this
retention letter “good reason” shall mean:

 

(a)          a material change in your
reporting responsibilities;

(b)         a substantial diminution of
your responsibilities;

(c)          any reduction in your level
of compensation without the approval of the Employee; or

(D)        a transfer of your work
location for purposes of performing your duties hereunder to a location that is
beyond a 40-mile radius from your present work location.

 

This letter contains the entire agreement
with regard to the Company’s obligation to make a retention payment and what
will be expected of you to receive the Retention Amount.

 

I want to personally thank you for your past
contributions to the Company and your continuing cooperation going forward.

 

 

	 
	
  Sincerely,

SECTION 2.           Amount
and Terms of Credit.

 

2.01.        The Commitments. 
Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each
Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (each, a “Term Loan” and,
collectively, the “Term Loans”) to the Borrower, which Term Loans (i)
shall be incurred pursuant to a single drawing on the Borrowing Date in an
aggregate principal amount of not less than $100,000,000, (ii) shall be
denominated in Dollars, (iii) except as hereinafter provided, shall, at the
option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into,
Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that (A) except as
otherwise specifically provided in Section 2.10(b) and subject to Section 2.06,
all Term Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same
Type, and (B) unless the Administrative
Agent has determined that the Syndication Date has occurred (at which time this
clause (B) shall no longer be applicable), no more than two Borrowings of Term
Loans to be maintained as Eurodollar Loans may be incurred prior to the 60th
day after the Borrowing Date (or, if later, the last day of the Interest Period
applicable to the second Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans referred to below), each
of which Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans may only have an Interest Period of one
month, and the first of which Borrowings may be made no earlier than the third
Business Day, and no later than the seventh Business Day, after the Borrowing
Date and the second of which Borrowings may only be made on the last day of the
Interest Period of the first such Borrowing and (iv) shall be made by
each such Lender in that aggregate principal amount which does not exceed the
Commitment of such Lender on the Borrowing Date.  Once repaid, Term Loans incurred hereunder
may not be reborrowed.

 

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

 

32

 

2.03.        Notice of Borrowing.  (a)  Whenever the Borrower desires
to incur (x) Eurodollar Loans hereunder, it shall give the Administrative Agent
at the Notice Office at least three Business Days’ prior notice of each
Eurodollar Loan to be incurred hereunder and (y) Base Rate Loans hereunder, it
shall give the Administrative Agent same day notice of each Base Rate Loan to
be incurred hereunder, provided that (in each case) any such notice
shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 1:00
P.M. (New York time) on such day. 
Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as
otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be
in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing, in the form of
Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to specify:  (i) the aggregate principal amount of the
Term Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such
Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) whether the Term Loans being
incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate
Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, Eurodollar Loans and, if
Eurodollar Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly give
each Lender which is required to make Term Loans notice of such proposed
Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other
matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the
Notice of Borrowing.

 

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

 

2.04.        Disbursement of Funds.  No later than 2:00 P.M. (New York time)
on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make
available its pro  rata portion (determined in accordance with
Section 2.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date.  All such amounts will be made available in
Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the
Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower at the Payment Office
the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender
does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s
portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative
Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not
be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such
corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent
by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such
corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay
such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand
therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative
Agent.  The Administrative Agent also
shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the
case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in

 

33

 

respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made
available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such
corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per
annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds
Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to
such Term Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the
Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as
determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be
deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Term Loans hereunder
or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a
result of any failure by such Lender to make Term Loans hereunder.

 

2.05.        Notes.  (a)  The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal
of, and interest on, the Term Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in
the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15
and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced by a promissory note
duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of
Exhibit B, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Note”
and, collectively, the “Notes”).

 

(b)           The Note
issued to each Lender shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to
such Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Borrowing Date (or, if
issued after the Borrowing Date, be dated the date of issuance thereof), (iii)
be in a stated principal amount equal to the Term Loan made by such Lender on the
Borrowing Date (or, if issued after the Borrowing Date, be in a stated
principal amount equal to the outstanding Term Loan of such Lender at such
time) and be payable in the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan
evidenced thereby, (iv) mature on the Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as
provided in the appropriate clause of Section 2.08 in respect of the Base Rate
Loans and Eurodollar Loans, as the case may be, evidenced thereby, (vi) be
subject to voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 5.01, and mandatory
repayment as provided in Section 5.02, and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

 

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

 

(d)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in
this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time
specifically request the delivery of such Notes.  No failure of any Lender to request or obtain
a Note evidencing its Term Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner
impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Term Loans (and all related
Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced
thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in
any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the
various Credit Documents.  Any Lender
which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Term Loans shall in no
event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause
(c).  At any time when any Lender
requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Term Loans, the Borrower
shall promptly execute and deliver to the

 

34

 

respective Lender the requested Note in the
appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Term Loans.

 

2.06.        Conversions. 
The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day, all
or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding
principal amount of Term Loans made pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one
or more Types of Term Loans into a Borrowing of another Type of Term Loan, provided
that, (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), Eurodollar Loans may
be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period
applicable to the Term Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of
Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such
Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum
Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) Base Rate Loans may not be converted
into Eurodollar Loans if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the
date of the conversion and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Required
Lenders) has given written notice that no such conversion is permitted while
such Default or Event of Default is continuing, (iii) unless the Administrative Agent has determined that the Syndication
Date has occurred (at which time this clause (iii) shall no longer be
applicable), prior to the 60th day after the Borrowing Date, conversions of
Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans may only be made if any such conversion
is effective on the first day of the first or second Interest Period referred
to in clause (B) of the proviso appearing in Section 2.01(iii) and so long as
such conversion does not result in a greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar
Loans prior to the 60th day after the Borrowing Date as are permitted under
Sections 2.01(iii), and (iv) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06
shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans than is
permitted under Section 2.02.  Each such
conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent
at the Notice Office prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) at least (x) in the
case of conversions of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, three Business
Days’ prior notice and (y) in the case of conversions of Eurodollar Loans into
Base Rate Loans, one Business Day’s prior notice (each, a “Notice of
Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately
completed to specify the Term Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or
Borrowings pursuant to which such Term Loans were incurred and, if to be
converted into 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 Term Loans.

 

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

 

2.08.        Interest.  (a)  The Borrower agrees to pay interest in
respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of
Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a
Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per

conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section
2.06, 2.09 or 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each
Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant
Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus
the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

 

(c)           Overdue
principal and interest shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by Term Loans.  All other overdue amounts payable hereunder
and under any other Credit Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate applicable to Term Loans
that are maintained at Base Rate Loans from time to time.  Interest that accrues under this Section
2.08(c) shall be payable on demand.

 

(d)           Accrued
(and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base
Rate Loan, (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (y) on the

and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such
maturity, on demand, and (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, (x) 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 (y) on the
date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at
maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on
demand.

 

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

 

2.09.        Interest Periods.  At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or
conversion into, any Eurodollar Loan (in the case of the initial Interest
Period applicable thereto) or prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the third
Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such
Eurodollar Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower
shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”)
applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option
of the Borrower (but otherwise subject to the provisions of clause (B) of the
proviso of Section 2.01(iii)), be a one, two, three, six or, to the extent
approved by each Lender, nine or twelve month period, provided that (in
each case):

 

(i)            all
Eurodollar Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same
Interest Period;

 

(ii)           the
initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the date of
Borrowing of such Eurodollar Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto
from a Base Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect
of such

 

36

 

Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding
Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

 

(iii)          if
any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan 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;

 

(iv)          if
any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which
is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding
Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for
a Eurodollar Loan 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;

 

(v)           unless
the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period may be selected at any
time when a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

(vi)          no
Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Term Loans shall be selected
which extends beyond the Maturity Date; and

 

(vii)         no
Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Term Loans shall be selected
which extends beyond any date upon which a mandatory repayment of Term Loans
will be required to be made under Section 5.02(b) if the aggregate principal
amount of the Term Loans which have Interest Periods which will expire after
such date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans
then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such required repayment.

 

If by 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the third Business
Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of
Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to
elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loans as
provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such
Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of
such current Interest Period.

 

2.10.        Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.  (a)  In
the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall,
absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties
hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the
Administrative Agent):

 

(i)            on
any Interest Determination Date 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

 

(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 Loan
because of (x) any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or
governmental

 

37

 

rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having
the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and
including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation,
order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to:  (A) a change in the basis of taxation of
payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Term Loans or the
Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of
tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such
Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in
which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or any
subdivision thereof or therein and Taxes covered by Section 5.04) or (B) a
change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves
required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the
Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Effective Date
affecting such Lender, the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such
Lender in such market; or

 

(iii)          at
any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has been made
(x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y)
impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental
request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result
of a contingency occurring after the Effective Date which materially and
adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market;

 

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the
Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give
notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except
in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such
determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to
each of the other Lenders).  Thereafter
(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/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans
which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be
deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the
Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent
applicable), to pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request
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
sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender
for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder
(a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in
reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the
Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive
and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii)
above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b)
as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by
applicable law.

 

(b)           At any
time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in
Section 2.10(a)(ii), the Borrower may, and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan
affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), the Borrower
shall, either (x) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made initially
or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative
Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the

 

38

 

same date that the Borrower was notified by the
affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or
(iii) or (y) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least
one Business Day’s written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the
affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, 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 2.10(b).

 

(c)           If any
Lender determines that after the Effective Date the introduction of or any
change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order,
guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law)
concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration
thereof by the NAIC or any governmental authority, central bank or comparable
agency, will have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or
any corporation controlling such Lender’s capital or assets as a consequence of
such Lender’s Commitment or its obligations hereunder to the Borrower to a
level below that which such Lender or such other corporation could have
achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking
into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to
capital adequacy), then from time to time, upon written demand by such Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower agrees, subject to the
provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
other corporation for such reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or
such other corporation.  In determining
such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and
will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided
that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section
2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all
the parties hereto.  Each Lender, upon
determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this
Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which
notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such
additional amounts.

 

2.11.        Compensation. 
The Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 13.18 (to the
extent applicable), to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which
request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such
compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without
limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the
liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender
to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which
such Lender may sustain:  (i) if for any
reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a
Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a
date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed
withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment
(including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 5.01, Section
5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Term Loans pursuant to Section
10) or conversion of any of its Eurodollar Loans occurs on a date which is not
the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any
prepayment of any of its 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 Eurodollar Loans when required by
the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (y) any election
made pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

 

39

 

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

 

2.13.        Replacement of Lenders.  (x)  If any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its obligations to make Term Loans,
(y) upon the occurrence of an event giving rise to the operation of Section
2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c) or Section 5.04 with respect to any
Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs in
excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders or (z) in the case
of a refusal by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers,
discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been
approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section
13.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default
then exists (or, in the case of preceding clause (z), will exist immediately
after giving effect to such replacement), to replace such Lender (the “Replaced
Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall
constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively,
the “Replacement Lender”) and each of whom shall be required to be
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that (i) at
the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement
Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements
pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said
Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Replaced
Lender (as may be agreed to at such time by and among the Borrower, the
Replacement Lender and the Replaced Lender)) pursuant to which the Replacement
Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Term Loans of the
Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender
in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (I) an amount equal to the
principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Term Loans of the
Replaced Lender and (II) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore
unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 4.01 and (ii) all
obligations of the Borrower due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time
(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 concurrently with such
replacement. Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be
paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled (but not obligated) and authorized to execute an Assignment and
Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment
and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent and the
Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and
Section 13.04.  Upon the execution of the
respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, 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 an appropriate Note or Notes
executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender
hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder,
except with respect to indemnification provisions under this

 

40

 

Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.04,
12.06 and 13.01), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender.

 

SECTION 3.           [Reserved].

 

SECTION 4.           Fees;
Reductions of Commitment.

 

4.01.        Fees.  The Borrower
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as may be agreed to in
writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 

4.02.        Voluntary Termination of Commitments.  Upon at least one Business Day’s prior
written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice
the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the
Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, without
premium or penalty, to terminate the Total Commitment in whole, or reduce it in
part, pursuant to this Section 4.02, in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in
the case of partial reductions to the Total Commitment, provided that
each such reduction shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the Commitment
of each Lender.

 

4.03.        Mandatory Reduction of Commitments.  (a)  The Total Commitment (and the
Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the earlier to
occur of (i) December 31, 2004 and (ii) the tenth Business Day following the Effective
Date (in either case, after giving effect to the incurrence of any Term Loans
on such date).

 

(b)           In
addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section
4.03, the Total Commitment (and the Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate
in its entirety on the Borrowing Date (after giving effect to the incurrence of
Term Loans on such date).

 

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

 

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

 

SECTION 5.           Prepayments;
Payments; Taxes.

 

5.01.        Voluntary Prepayments. (a)  The
Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Term Loans, without premium or
penalty, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on the following
terms and conditions:  (i) the Borrower
shall give the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) at
the Notice Office (x) at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or
telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Base
Rate Loans and (y) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or
telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay
Eurodollar Loans, which notice (in each case) shall specify the amount of such
prepayment and the Types of Term Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of
Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such
Eurodollar Loans were made, and which notice the Administrative Agent shall
promptly

 

41

 

transmit to each of the Lenders; (ii) each partial prepayment of Term
Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal
amount of at least $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the
Administrative Agent in any given case), provided that if any partial
prepayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the
outstanding principal amount of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such
Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto,
then such Borrowing may not be continued as a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans
(and same shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans)
and any election of an Interest Period with respect thereto given by the
Borrower shall have no force or effect; (iii) each prepayment pursuant to this
Section 5.01(a) in respect of any Term Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall
be applied pro  rata among such Term Loans; and (iv) each
prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall reduce the then
remaining Scheduled Repayments on a pro  rata basis (based upon
the then remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Repayment after
giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

 

(b)           In the
event of a refusal by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers,
discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been
approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section
13.12(b), the Borrower may, at any time after the Borrowing Date, upon two
Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice
Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each
of the Lenders) repay all Term Loans, together with accrued and unpaid
interest, Fees, and other amounts owing to such Lender in accordance with, and
subject to the requirements of, said Section 13.12(b) so long as the
consents, if any, required under Section 13.12(b) in connection with the
repayment pursuant to this clause (b) have been obtained.  Each prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to
this Section 5.01(b) shall reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments on a pro
rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount of each such
Scheduled Repayment after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

 

5.02.        Mandatory Repayments, etc..  (a)   [Reserved].

 

(b)           In
addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on
each date set forth below (each, a “Scheduled Repayment Date”), the
Borrower shall be required to repay that principal amount of Term Loans, to the
extent then outstanding, as is set forth opposite each such date below (each
such repayment, as the same may be reduced as provided in Section 5.01(a),
5.01(b) or 5.02(h), a “Scheduled Repayment”):

In the event that less

incurred on the Borrowing Date, the Scheduled Repayments shall be reduced on a pro
rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amount of such
Scheduled Repayments after giving

effect to all prior
reductions thereto) by an amount equal to the remainder of $150,000,000 less
the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans incurred on the Borrowing
Date.

 

(c)           In
addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on
each date on or after the Borrowing Date upon which the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any capital contribution or any
sale or issuance of its Equity Interests (other than (w) cash proceeds from an
issuance of Permitted Disqualified Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 10.13(c),
to the extent that the gross cash proceeds therefrom, when aggregated with the
gross cash proceeds of (i) all other issuances of Permitted Disqualified
Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 10.13(c) after the Effective Date and (ii)
all issuances of Permitted Subordinated Notes pursuant to Section 10.04(vi)

the Borrower by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower), an amount
equal to the Applicable Prepayment Percentage of the Net Cash Proceeds of such
capital contribution or sale or issuance of Equity Interests shall be applied
on such date as a mandatory repayment of Term Loans in accordance with the
requirements of Sections 5.02(h) and (i). 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 5.02(c), so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, no mandatory repayment shall be required pursuant
to this Section 5.02(c) until the date on which the sum of (x) the Net
Cash Proceeds required to be applied as mandatory repayments in the absence of
this sentence plus (y) the Net Sale Proceeds required to be applied as
mandatory repayments pursuant to Section 5.02(e) in the absence of the
last sentence in said Section plus (z) the Net Cash Proceeds required to
be applied as mandatory repayments and/or commitment reductions pursuant to
Section 5.02(g) in the absence of the last sentence in said Section,
equals or exceeds $2,500,000.

 

(d)           In
addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on
each date on or after the Borrowing Date upon which the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any issuance or incurrence by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness (other than (x)
Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 10.04 (other than
clause (vi) thereof) as in effect on the Effective Date and (y) cash proceeds
from an issuance of Permitted Subordinated Notes pursuant to Section 10.04(vi),
to the extent that the gross cash proceeds therefrom, when aggregated with the
gross cash proceeds of (i) all other issuances of Permitted Subordinated Notes
pursuant to Section 10.04(vi) after the Effective Date and (ii) all issuances
of Permitted Disqualified Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 10.13(c) after

respective incurrence of Indebtedness shall be applied on such date as a
mandatory repayment of Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of
Sections 5.02(h) and (i).

 

(e)           In
addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on
each date on or after the Borrowing Date upon which the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any Asset Sale, an amount equal to
100% of the

 

44

 

Net Sale Proceeds therefrom shall be applied on such date as a
mandatory repayment of Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of
Sections 5.02(h) and (i); provided, however, that with respect to
no more than $2,500,000 in the aggregate of such Net Sale Proceeds received by
the Borrower or its Subsidiaries in any fiscal year of the Borrower, such Net
Sale Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date so long as no
Default and no Event of Default then exists and such Net Sale Proceeds shall be
used to purchase assets (other than inventory and working capital) used or to
be used in a Permitted Business within 360 days following the date of such
Asset Sale, and provided further, that if all or any portion of such Net
Sale Proceeds not required to be so applied as provided above in this Section
5.02(e) are not so reinvested within such 360-day period (or such earlier date,
if any, as the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary determines not to reinvest
the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale as set forth above), such remaining
portion shall be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date,
as the case may be) as provided above in this Section 5.02(e) without regard to
the immediately preceding proviso.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.02(e),
so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, no mandatory repayment shall be required pursuant to this
Section 5.02(e) until the date on which the sum of (x) the Net Sale Proceeds
required to be applied as mandatory repayments in the absence of this sentence plus
(y) the Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied as mandatory repayments and/or
commitment reductions pursuant to Sections 5.02(c) and (g) in the absence
of the last sentences in respective such Sections, equals or exceeds
$2,500,000.

 

(f)            In
addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on
each Excess Cash Payment Date, an amount equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow
for the related Excess Cash Payment Period shall be applied as a mandatory
repayment of Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(h)
and (i).

 

(g)           In
addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on
each date on or after the Effective Date upon which the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any Recovery Event (other than
Recovery Events where the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom do not exceed $500,000),
an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Recovery Event shall
be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in
accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(h) and (i); provided, however,
that with respect to no more than $2,500,000 in the aggregate of such Net Cash
Proceeds received by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries in any fiscal year of the
Borrower, such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such
date so long as no Default and no Event of Default then exists and the Borrower
has delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent on such date stating
that such Net Cash Proceeds shall be used to replace or restore any properties
or assets in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid within 360 days
following the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (which certificate
shall set forth the estimates of the Net Cash Proceeds to be so expended), and provided
further, that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not required
to be so applied pursuant to the preceding proviso are not so used within 360
days after the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or such earlier
date, if any, as the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary determines not to
reinvest the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Recovery Event as set forth
above), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period
(or such earlier date, as the case may be) as provided above in this Section
5.02(g) without regard to the immediately preceding proviso.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 5.02(g), so long as no Default or Event 

 

45

 

of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no mandatory
repayment or commitment reduction shall be required pursuant to this
Section 5.02(g) until the date on which the sum of (x) the Net Cash
Proceeds required to be applied as mandatory repayments and/or commitment
reductions in the absence of this sentence plus (y) the Net Cash
Proceeds required to be applied as mandatory repayments pursuant to
Section 5.02(c) in the absence of the last sentence in said Section plus
(z) the Net Sale Proceeds required to be applied as mandatory repayments
pursuant to Section 5.02(e) in the absence of the last sentence of said
Section, equals or exceeds $2,500,000.

 

(h)           Each
amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e), (f) and
(j) in accordance with this Section 5.02(h) shall be applied to repay the
outstanding principal amount of Term Loans. 
Each amount required to be applied pursuant to Section 5.02(g) in
accordance with this Section 5.02(h) shall be applied (i) at any time prior to
the termination of the Total Commitment pursuant to Section 4.03, to reduce the
Total Commitment in the manner provided in Section 4.03(d) (it being understood
and agreed that the amount of any reduction to the Total Commitment as provided
in this clause (i) shall be deemed to be an application of proceeds for
purposes of this Section 5.02(h) even though cash is not actually applied) and
(ii) thereafter, to repay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans.  The amount of each principal repayment of
Term Loans made as required by Sections 5.02(c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (j)
shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments in inverse
order of maturity (based upon the then remaining principal amounts of the
Scheduled Repayments after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto); provided,
however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, if at the time of the respective repayment of Term Loans the
Senior Leverage Ratio is less than 1.0:1.0 (as set forth in the officer’s
certificate delivered pursuant to Section 9.01(f) for the fiscal quarter or
fiscal year of the Borrower then last ended for which financial statements are
available), such principal repayment of Term Loans shall be applied to reduce
the then remaining Scheduled Repayments on a pro  rata basis
(based upon the then remaining amounts of such Scheduled Repayments after
giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

 

(i)            With
respect to each repayment of Term Loans required by this Section 5.02, the
Borrower may designate the Types of Term Loans which are to be repaid and, in
the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to
which such Eurodollar Loans were made, provided that:  (i) repayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant
to this Section 5.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto unless all Eurodollar Loans with Interest Periods ending on
such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans have been paid in full;
(ii) if any repayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing
shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing
to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such
Borrowing shall be automatically converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans;
and (iii) each repayment of any Term Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall
be applied pro  rata among such Term 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.

 

(j)            In
addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on
the 5th Business Day following the Borrowing Date (or such later
date following the Borrowing Date as shall be acceptable to the Administrative
Agent in its sole discretion), an amount equal to the remainder 

 

46

 

(if positive) of (i) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans
incurred on the Borrowing Date less (ii) $100,000,000 less (iii)
the aggregate amount of cash used by the Borrower to finance the Share Repurchase
and pay related Transaction expenses, shall be applied as a mandatory repayment
of Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(h) and (i).

 

(k)           In
addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, (i)
all then outstanding Term Loans shall be repaid in full on the Maturity Date
and (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree in writing, all then
outstanding Term Loans shall be repaid in full on the date on which a Change of
Control occurs.

 

5.03.        Method
and Place of Payment.  Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, all payments under this Agreement and under any Note shall be made to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled
thereto not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date when due and
shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment
Office.  Whenever any payment to be made
hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a
Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be
payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

 

5.04.        Net Payments.  (a)  All payments made by the
Borrower hereunder and under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim
or other defense.  Except as provided in
Section 5.04(b), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without
deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts,
duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter
imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, except as
provided in the second succeeding sentence, any branch profits tax, any tax
imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits (or franchise tax
imposed in lieu thereof) 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 pursuant to this sentence.  The Borrower will furnish to the
Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is 

 

47

 

due pursuant to applicable law
certified copies of tax receipts or other evidence reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent of such payment by such 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 2.13 or 13.04(b) (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
W8ECI or Form W8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax
treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such
date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to
payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the
Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code
and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W8ECI or Form W8BEN
(with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or any
successor forms) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit C (any such certificate, a “Section
5.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original
signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W8BEN (with respect to the
portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s
entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States
withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this
Agreement and under any Note.  In
addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date,
when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous
certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Lender will
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and
complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W8ECI, Form
W8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W8BEN
(with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 5.04(b)(ii)
Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in
order to 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 such Lender shall immediately
notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver
any such Form or Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be required
to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 5.04(b).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 5.04(a), but subject to Section 13.04(b) and the immediately
succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it
is required to do so by law (including, without limitation, any treaty of the
United States), 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
5.04(a) to pay additional amounts to a Lender in respect of income (gross or
net) 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 

 

48

 

the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.04(b) or (II) in the case of a
payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to
the extent that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from
withholding of such taxes. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding
sentence or elsewhere in this Section 5.04 and except as set forth in Section
13.04(b), the Borrower agrees to pay any additional amounts and to indemnify
each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 5.04(a) (without regard to the
identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect
of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately
preceding sentence as a result of any changes that are effective after the
Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation,
guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting
or withholding of such Taxes.

 

(c)           If the
Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 5.04 to a Lender and
such Lender determines in its sole discretion that it has actually received or
realized in connection therewith any refund or any reduction of, or credit
against, its Tax liabilities in or with respect to the taxable year in which
the additional amount is paid (a “Tax Benefit”), such Lender shall pay
to the Borrower an amount that the Lender shall, in its sole discretion,
determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by the
Lender in such year as a consequence of such Tax Benefit; provided, however,
that (i) any Lender may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the
policies of such Lender, whether to seek a Tax Benefit; (ii) any Taxes that are
imposed on a Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction (including
through the expiration of any tax credit carryover or carryback of such Lender
that otherwise would not have expired) of any Tax Benefit with respect to which
such Lender has made a payment to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.04(c)
shall be treated as a Tax for which the Borrower is obligated to indemnify such
Lender pursuant to this Section 5.04 without any exclusions or defenses; (iii)
nothing in this Section 5.04(c) shall require the Lender to disclose any
confidential information to the Borrower (including, without limitation, its
tax returns); and (iv) no Lender shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant
to this Section 5.04(c) at any time which a Default or Event of Default exists.

 

(d)           The
provisions of this Section 5.04 are subject to the provisions of Section 13.18
(to the extent applicable).

all
of which Shareholders’ Agreements and Existing Indebtedness Agreements shall be

7.14.        No Default;

On the Borrowing Date and immediately after giving effect thereto, (i)
there shall exist no Default or Event of Default and 

 

54

 

(ii) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the

the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on
the date of the making of Term Loans (it being understood and agreed that any
representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date
shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of
such specified date).

Agent and each of the Lenders that all the conditions specified in this Section
7 are satisfied as of that time.  All of
the Notes, certificates and other documents and papers referred to in this Section
7, unless otherwise specified, shall have been delivered to the Administrative

representations, warranties and agreements on (x) the Effective Date (after
giving effect to the Transaction (as if same had been consummated on the
Effective Date)) and (y) the Borrowing Date (after giving effect to the
Transaction (as if each element of the same had been consummated on the
Effective Date)), all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Notes and the incurrence of the Term Loans, with the
occurrence of the Effective Date or the Borrowing Date, as the case may be,
being deemed to constitute a representation and warranty that the matters
specified in this Section 8 are true and correct in all material respects on
and as of the Effective Date or the Borrowing Date, as the case may be (it
being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its
terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct
in all material respects only as of such specified date).

 

8.01.        Company
Status. 
Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries (i) is a duly organized
and validly existing Company in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the Company power and authority, as
the case may be, to own its property and assets and to transact the business in
which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage and (iii) is duly
qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its property or the
conduct of its business requires such qualifications except for failures to be
so qualified or authorized which, either individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

55

 

8.02.        Power and
Authority.  Each Credit Party
has the Company power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the terms
and provisions of each of the Documents to which it is party and has taken all
necessary Company action, as the case may be, to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance by it of each of such Documents.  Each Credit Party has duly executed and
delivered each of the Documents to which it is party, and each of such
Documents constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable
principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law),
it being understood that, in the event this representation is being made prior
to the Borrowing Date, such representation is made only as to this Agreement
(and not to any other Credit Document).

 

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

 

8.04.        Approvals.  No order, consent, approval, license,
authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with
(except for (x) those that have otherwise been obtained or made on or prior to
the Effective Date and which remain in full force and effect on such date and
(y) in the event the representations in this Section 8.04 are being made on the
Effective Date, consents, approvals and authorizations of holders of Borrower
Common Stock and of the SEC and filings which are necessary to consummate the
Tender Offer in accordance with applicable law), or exemption by, any
governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is
required to be obtained or made by, or on behalf of, any Credit Party to
authorize, or is required to be obtained or made by, or on behalf of, any
Credit Party in connection with, (i) the execution, delivery and performance of
any Document or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability
of any such Document.

 

8.05.        Financial Statements; Financial
Condition; Undisclosed Liabilities; Projections.  (a) 
(i) (I) The audited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries at December
31, 2003, June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, and the related consolidated
statements of income and cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the six months ended December 31, 2003 and
for each of the fiscal years of the Borrower ended June 30, 2003, June 30, 2002
and June 30, 2001, in each case furnished to the Lenders prior to the
Effective Date, present fairly in all material respects the 

 

56

 

consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at
the date of said financial statements and the results for the respective
periods covered thereby, and (II) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at September 30, 2004 and the related
consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries for the nine-month period ended on such date, furnished to the
Lenders prior to the Effective Date, present fairly in all material respects
the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at
the date of said financial statements and the results for the period covered
thereby, subject to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of
footnotes.  All such financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied except to the
extent provided in the notes to said financial statements and subject, in the
case of the unaudited financial statements, to normal year-end audit
adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

 

(ii)           The pro
forma consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as
of September 30, 2004 (after giving effect to the Transaction and the financing
therefor and the Classmates Acquisition), a copy of which has been furnished to
the Lenders prior to the Effective Date, presents a good faith estimate of the pro
forma consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of such date (subject to the assumptions set forth therein,
including, without limitation, assumptions with respect to the number of shares
of Borrower Common Stock repurchased and the amount of Term Loans incurred in
connection with the Transaction).

 

(b)           On the
Borrowing Date, after giving effect to any Indebtedness (including the Term
Loans) being incurred or assumed and Liens created by the Credit Parties in
connection therewith, (i) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of the
Borrower (on a stand-alone basis) and of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
(taken as a whole) will exceed its or their respective debts, (ii) the Borrower
(on a stand-alone basis) and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as a
whole) has or have not incurred and does or do not intend to incur, and does or
do not believe that it or they will incur, debts beyond its or their respective
ability to pay such debts as such debts mature, and (iii) the Borrower (on
a stand-alone basis) and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole)
will have sufficient capital with which to conduct its or their respective
businesses.  For purposes of this Section
8.05(b), “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means
(a) 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 (b) 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.  The amount of contingent
liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of
all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount
that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

 

(c)           Except as
fully disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section
8.05(a), there were as of each of the Effective Date and the Borrowing Date no
liabilities or obligations with respect to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or
otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  As of each of the Effective Date and the
Borrowing Date, the Borrower does not know of any basis for the assertion
against it or any of its Subsidiaries of any liability or obligation of any

 

57

 

nature whatsoever that is not fully disclosed in the financial
statements delivered pursuant to Section 8.05(a) or referred to in the
immediately preceding sentence which, either individually or in the aggregate,
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(d)           The
Projections delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to the Effective Date
have been prepared in good faith and are based on reasonable assumptions under
the then known facts and circumstances. 
On each of the Effective Date and the Borrowing Date, the Borrower
believes that the Projections are reasonable and attainable based upon the then
known facts and circumstances, it being recognized by the Lenders, however,
that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the
actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections may
differ from the projected results and the Projections are based on many
assumptions and contingencies that are not within the control of the Borrower
or its Subsidiaries.

 

(e)           Since
December 31, 2003 (but after giving effect to the Transaction), nothing has
occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material
Adverse Effect.

 

8.06.        Litigation.  There are no actions, suits or proceedings
pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened (i) with respect to
the Transaction or any Document or (ii) that has had, or could reasonably be
expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

8.07.        True and
Complete Disclosure.  All
factual information (taken as a whole) furnished by or on behalf of the
Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including,
without limitation, all information contained in the Documents and all public
filings made by any Credit Party with the SEC) for purposes of or in connection
with this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated
herein or therein is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole)
hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender will not contain a material misstatement on
the date as of which such information is dated or certified (or if not dated or
certified, as of the date such information was furnished) which makes such
information misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the
circumstances under which such information was provided and will not be
incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information
(taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light
of the circumstances under which such information was provided, it being
understood and agreed that for purposes of this Section 8.07, such factual
information shall not include the Projections or any pro  forma
financial information.

 

8.08.        Use of
Proceeds; Margin Regulations. 
(a)  All proceeds of the Term
Loans will be used by the Borrower solely (i) first, on the Borrowing
Date, (x) to fund the Tender Offer Account (so long as such proceeds are
thereafter paid over to the Tender Offer Paying Agent and applied to finance,
in part, the Share Repurchase and/or, upon the termination of the Tender Offer
Adjustment Period, thereafter applied as provided in clause (ii) below and/or
Section 5.02(j)) and (y) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with
the Transaction and (ii) second, for other general corporate purposes
(including, without limitation, to finance Permitted Acquisitions and the
repurchase of Equity Interests of the Borrower permitted by 

 

58

 

Section 10.03(iv)); provided that no more than $100,000,000 of
proceeds of the Term Loans may be used for the purposes described in preceding
clause (ii) (it being understood that, upon the termination of the Tender Offer
Adjustment Period, the proceeds of Term Loans in the Tender Offer Account may
be withdrawn and shall be available to be applied by the Borrower as provided
above for the purposes described in preceding clause (ii)).

 

(b)           Except as
otherwise permitted by Section 10.03(iii) and (iv), no part of any Term Loans
(or the proceeds thereof) will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or
to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin
Stock.  Neither the making of any Term
Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof will violate or be inconsistent with
the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System.

 

8.09.        Tax Returns
and Payments.  Each of the
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be timely
filed with the appropriate taxing authority all material federal and state
income tax returns and all other material tax returns, domestic and foreign
(the “Returns”) required to be filed by, or with respect to the income,
properties or operations of, the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries.  The Returns accurately reflect in all
material respects all liability for taxes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
as applicable, for the periods covered thereby. 
Each of the Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries has paid all taxes and assessments payable by it which have become
due, other than those the validity or amount of which are being contested in
good faith and adequately disclosed and fully provided for on the financial
statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP.  There is no material action, suit,
proceeding, investigation, audit or claim now pending or, to the best knowledge
of the Borrower, threatened by any authority regarding any taxes relating to
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Except as set forth on the Schedule XIII,
neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into an agreement
or waiver or been requested to enter into an agreement or waiver extending any
statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of taxes of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or is aware of any circumstances that
would cause the taxable years or other taxable periods of the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries not to be subject to the normally applicable statute of
limitations.  Except as set forth on
Schedule XIII, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred,
nor will any of them incur, any material tax liability in connection with the
Transaction or any other transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood
that the representation contained in this sentence does not cover any future
tax liabilities of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries arising as a result
of the operation of their businesses in the ordinary course of business).

 

8.10.        Compliance
with ERISA. 
(a)  Schedule IV sets forth each
Plan as of the Effective Date; each Plan (and each related trust, insurance
contract or fund) is in compliance with its terms and with all applicable laws,
including without limitation ERISA and the Code (except to the extent such
failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect); 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 such Plan, in form, meets
the requirements of Sections 401(a) of the Code; no Reportable Event has
occurred that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
no Plan which is a multiemployer plan (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of
ERISA) is insolvent or in reorganization (except to the extent such insolvency
or reorganization could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect); no Plan has an Unfunded Current 

 

59

 

Liability that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect; 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
(except to the extent any such accumulated funding deficiency or extension of
amortization period could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect); all contributions required to be made with respect to a Plan have been
timely made (except to the extent failure to timely make such contributions
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect); neither
the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has
incurred any liability that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect (including any indirect, contingent or secondary liability) to
or on account of a Plan pursuant to Section 409, 502(i), 502(l), 515, 4062,
4063, 4064, 4069, 4201, 4204 or 4212 of ERISA or Section 401(a)(29), 4971 or
4975 of the Code or expects to incur any such liability under any of the
foregoing sections with respect to any Plan; no condition exists which presents
a risk to the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate
of incurring a liability that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect to or on account of a 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
that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 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 that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 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 Plans which are multiemployer plans (as defined
in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) 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 Borrowing Date, could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect; 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 of the Borrower,
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 (except to the extent such failure to comply could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect); each group health plan (as defined
in 45 Code of Federal Regulations Section 160.103) which covers or has covered
employees or former employees of the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower,
or any ERISA Affiliate has at all times been operated in compliance with the
provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
and the regulations promulgated thereunder (except to the extent such failure
to comply could not reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse Effect); no
lien imposed under the Code or ERISA on the assets of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate exists or is likely to arise
on account of any Plan (except liens that could not reasonably be expected to
have Material Adverse Effect); and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may cease
contributions to or terminate any employee benefit plan maintained by any of
them without incurring any liability that could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b)           Each
Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with
the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations
and 

 

60

 

orders (except to the extent
failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect) and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with
applicable regulatory authorities (except to the extent failure to maintain
such good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect).  All contributions required to
be made with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely made(except to the extent failure to timely make such
contributions could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect).  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 (except obligations that could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect).  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 an amount that could reasonably be expected to have a Material

in all right, title and interest of the Credit Parties in the Security
Agreement Collateral described therein, and the Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Creditors, has (or, when financing statements on Form

connection with such compliance, and will take all actions reasonably necessary
to keep or cause to be kept all owned Real Property free and clear of any Liens
imposed pursuant to such Environmental Laws (except Permitted Liens).  Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries will generate, use, treat, store, Release or dispose of Hazardous
Materials, or permit the generation, use, treatment, storage, Release or
disposal of Hazardous Materials on any Real Property now or hereafter owned,
leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or transport
Hazardous Materials or permit the transportation of Hazardous Materials to or

generated, used, treated, stored, Released or disposed of at any such Real
Properties in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and as required
in connection with the operation, use and maintenance of the business or
operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except as any such

Subsidiaries are not in compliance with Section 9.06(a) or (iii) in the event
that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders have exercised any of the remedies
pursuant to the last 

 

68

the sole expense of the Borrower and at the request of the Administrative Agent,
an environmental site assessment report concerning the Real Property owned,
leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is the
subject of such notice, noncompliance or remedies, prepared by an environmental
consulting firm reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent, indicating the
presence or absence of Hazardous Materials and the potential cost of any
removal or remedial action in connection with such Hazardous Materials on such
Real Property.  If the Borrower fails to
provide the same within 60 days after such request was made, the Administrative
Agent may order the same, the cost of which shall be borne by the Borrower, and
the Borrower shall grant and hereby grants to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders and their respective agents access to such Real Property and
specifically grant the Administrative Agent and the Lenders an irrevocable
non-exclusive license, subject to the rights of tenants and landlords, to
undertake such an assessment at any reasonable time upon reasonable notice to
the Borrower, all at the sole expense of the Borrower.

SECTION 12.         The Administrative Agent.

 

12.01.      Appointment. 
The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas as Administrative Agent (for purposes of this Section 12 and
Section 13.01, the term “Administrative Agent” also shall include Deutsche Bank
Trust Company Americas in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant to the
Security Documents) to act as specified herein and in the other Credit
Documents.  Each Lender hereby
irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such
Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take
such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other
Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or
therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and
thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative
Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto.  The Administrative
Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its
officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

 

98

 

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

 

(b)           Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit
Document, the Lead Arranger is named as such for recognition purposes only, and
in its capacity as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or
liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed
that the Lead Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and
reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agents as, and to the
extent, provided for under Sections 12.06 and 13.01.  Without limitation of the foregoing, the Lead
Arranger shall not, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents,
have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

 

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

 

12.04.      Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent.  If the Administrative Agent requests
instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action
(including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other
Credit Document, the

 

99

 

Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative
Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the
Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so
refraining.  Without limiting the
foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right
of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the
Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any
other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required
Lenders.

 

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

 

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

 

12.07.      The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.  With respect to its obligation to make Term
Loans under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and
powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights
and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and
the terms “Lender,” “Required Lenders,” “Supermajority Lenders,”
“holders of Notes” and any similar terms shall, unless the context
clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective
individual capacities.  The
Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money
to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or
other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services
(including financial advisory services) to any Credit Party or any Affiliate of
any Credit Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit
Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties
specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit
Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party for services in connection with this
Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

 

12.08.      Holders.  The
Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner
thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the
assignment,

 

100

 

transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case
may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  Any request, authority or consent of any
Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or
consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any
subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of
such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

 

12.09.      Resignation by the Administrative Agent.  (a) 
The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its
respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit
Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the
Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 then
exists, the Borrower.  Such resignation
shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent
pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

 

(b)           Upon
any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required
Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder
who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the
Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided
that the Borrower’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then
exists).

 

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

 

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

 

(e)           Upon
a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.09, the
Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 12
shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of
its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

 

12.10.      Collateral Matters.  (a)  Each Lender authorizes and
directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the
benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors.  Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of
any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as
otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and
the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein,
together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be
authorized and

 

101

 

binding upon all of the Lenders.  The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on
behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further
consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to
take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may
be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and
liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

 

(b)           The
Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its
discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon
any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and
satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification
obligations) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the
Credit Documents, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed
of (to Persons other than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) upon the sale or
other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 10.02, (iii) if approved,
authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the
Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 13.12) or (iv) as
otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents.  Upon request by the Administrative Agent at
any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority
to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section
12.10.

 

(c)           The
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any
other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit
Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the
Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently
or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any
particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any
manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights,
authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this
Section 12.10 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and
agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related
thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in
its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the
Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no
duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or
willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final and non-appealable decision).

 

12.11.      Delivery of Information. 
The Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender
originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or
other information received by the Administrative Agent from any Credit Party,
any Subsidiary, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or
in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document except (i) as
specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (ii)
as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with
respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written
communication received by and in the possession of the Administrative Agent at the
time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific
request.

 

SECTION 13.         Miscellaneous.

 

13.01.      Payment of Expenses, etc.  The Borrower hereby agrees to:  (i)
whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are consummated, pay all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent
(including, without limitation, the reasonable

 

102

 

fees and disbursements of White & Case
LLP) in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments
referred to herein and therein and any amendment, waiver or consent relating
hereto or thereto, of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates in connection
with its or their syndication efforts with respect to this Agreement and of the
Administrative Agent and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, each of
the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein or
in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements
provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any

limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and consultants
for the Administrative Agent and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
counsel for each of the Lenders); (ii) pay and hold the Administrative Agent
and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and
future stamp, excise and other similar documentary taxes with respect to the
foregoing matters and save the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders
harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting
from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender) to pay such taxes; and (iii) indemnify the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each of their respective officers,
directors, employees, representatives, agents, affiliates, trustees and
investment advisors from and hold each of them harmless against any and all
liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses,
damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and
disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and
disbursements) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a
result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, (a)
any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the
Administrative Agent or any Lender is a party thereto and whether or not such
investigation, litigation or other proceeding is brought by or on behalf of any
Credit Party) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement
or any other Credit Document or the proceeds of any Term Loans hereunder or the
consummation of the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated herein
or in any other Credit Document or the exercise of any of their rights or
remedies provided herein or in the other Credit Documents, or (b) the actual or
alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater
or on the surface or subsurface of any Real Property at any time owned, leased
or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the generation,
storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at any location, whether or not owned,
leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the
non-compliance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with any
Environmental Law (including applicable permits thereunder) applicable to any
Real Property, or any Environmental Claim asserted against the Borrower, any of
its Subsidiaries or any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, including, in each case, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other
consultants incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or
other indemnified matter (but excluding any losses, liabilities, claims,
damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)).  To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify,
pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent or any Lender set forth in the
preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or
public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution

 

103

 

to the payment and satisfaction of each of
the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

 

13.02.      Right of Setoff. 
In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law
or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from
time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind
to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby
expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits
(general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by
the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including, without limitation, by
branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent or such Lender wherever
located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other
Credit Party against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the
Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement
or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all
interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 13.06(b),
and 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 the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand
hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them,
shall be contingent or unmatured.

 

13.03.      Notices.  Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications
provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telex,
telecopier or cable communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telexed,
telecopied, cabled or delivered:  if to
any Credit Party, at the address specified opposite its signature below or in
the other relevant Credit Documents; if to any Lender, at its address specified
on Schedule II; and if to the Administrative Agent, at the Notice Office; or,
as to any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, at such other address as

hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by
such Lender in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative

case may be.

 

13.04.      Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations.  (a) 
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided,
however, the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights,
obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Lenders and, provided further, that, although any Lender may transfer,
assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall
remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign
all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections
2.13 and 13.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may
be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided further,
that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the
participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or
waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Term Loan or Note
in which such

 

104

 

participant is participating, or reduce the
rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in
connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in
interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount
of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it
being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a
mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute a change in
the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the
available portion thereof) or Term Loan shall be permitted without the consent
of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a
result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of
any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or
substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except
as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Term Loans
hereunder in which such participant is participating.  In the case of any such participation, the
participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other
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.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other
Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitments and related
outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments have terminated, outstanding
Obligations) hereunder to (i)(A) its parent company and/or any affiliate of
such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or
(B) to one or more other Lenders or any affiliate of any such other Lender
which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided
that any fund that invests in loans in the ordinary course of its business and
is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a
Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an
affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(i)(B)),
or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any
other fund that invests in loans in the ordinary course of its business and is
managed or advised by the same investment advisor of any Lender or by an
Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a
portion equal to at least $1,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender
or assigning Lenders, of such Commitments and related outstanding Obligations
(or, if the Commitments have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to
one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans in
the ordinary course of its business and any other fund that invests in loans in
the ordinary course of its business and is managed or advised by the same
investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor
as a single Eligible Transferee), each of which assignees shall become a party
to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption
Agreement, provided that (i) at such time, Schedule I shall be deemed
modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans, as the case
may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender
of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s
delivery to the Borrower of an affidavit of loss with respect thereto and
indemnifying the Borrower for any lost Note pursuant to a customary
indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense,
to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new
Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the
requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent
needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans, as the
case may be, (iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required in

 

105

 

connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause
(y) above (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iv)
the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from
the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment
fee of $3,500 and (v) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until
recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.15.  To the extent of any assignment pursuant to
this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its
obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and outstanding
Term Loans.  At the time of each assignment
pursuant to this Section 13.04(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, to the extent legally entitled to do so,
provide to the Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if
applicable, a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section
5.04(b).  To the extent that an
assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related
outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 13.04(b)
would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section
2.10 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior
to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such
increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the
other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other
increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the
date of the respective assignment).

 

(c)           Nothing
in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Term
Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings
made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification
to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of the Administrative
Agent or the Borrower), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any
portion of its Term Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent
providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations
to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the
case may be.  No pledge pursuant to this
clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder.

 

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

 

13.06.      Payments Pro Rata.  (a) 
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent
agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on

 

106

 

behalf of the Borrower in respect of any
Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment
to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in
writing to waive its pro  rata share of any such payment) pro
rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with
respect to which such payment was received.

 

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

 

(c)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding
Sections 13.06(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.

 

13.07.      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, to the extent expressly
provided herein, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro  Forma
Basis.

 

(b)           All
computations of interest and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of
a year of 360 days (except for interest calculated by reference to the Prime
Lending Rate, which shall be based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable)
for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last
day) occurring in the period for which such interest or Fees are payable.

 

13.08.      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
OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN ANY MORTGAGE, 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 ANY
OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR
OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN EACH CASE WHICH
ARE LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, THE BORROWER HEREBY 

 

107

 

IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT
OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE
AFORESAID COURTS.  THE BORROWER HEREBY
FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL
JURISDICTION OVER THE BORROWER, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL
ACTION PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT
BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL
JURISDICTION OVER THE BORROWER.  THE
BORROWER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF
THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF
COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE
BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH OPPOSITE ITS SIGNATURE BELOW, SUCH SERVICE TO
BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. 
THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF
PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT
THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE.  NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN
ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE
PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 

(b)           THE
BORROWER 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.

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.

 

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

constitute one and the same instrument. 
A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged
with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 

13.10.      Execution. 
This Agreement shall be fully executed on the date (the “Execution

Lenders, shall have given to the Administrative Agent telephonic (confirmed in
writing), written or telex notice (actually received) at such office that the

The Administrative Agent will give the Borrower and each Lender prompt
written notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date.

 

13.11.      Headings Descriptive.  The headings of the several sections and
subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not
in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this
Agreement.

 

13.12.      Amendment or Waiver; etc.  (a) 
Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any terms
hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such
change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the respective
Credit Parties party hereto or thereto and the Required Lenders (although
additional parties may be added to (and annexes may be modified to reflect such
additions), and Subsidiaries of the Borrower may be released from, the
Subsidiaries Guaranty and the Security Documents in accordance with the
provisions hereof and thereof without the consent of the other Credit Parties
party thereto or the Required Lenders), provided that no such change,
waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender
(other than a Defaulting Lender) (with Obligations being directly affected in
the case of following clause (i)), (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of
any Term Loan or Note beyond the Maturity Date, or reduce the rate or extend
the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with the
waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or
reduce the principal amount thereof, (ii) release all or substantially all of
the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) under all
the Security Documents, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this

extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford the protections to
such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Term Loans on
the Effective Date), (iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of
Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required
Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be
included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same
basis as the extensions of Term Loans are included on the Effective Date) or
(v) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement; provided further, that no such
change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (1) increase the Commitments of
any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such
Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions
precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction
in the Total Commitment shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of
any Lender), (2) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify
or waive any provision of Section 12 or any other provision as same relates to
the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, (3) without the consent
of Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the

determination of the Supermajority Lenders on substantially the same basis as
the extensions of Term Loans are included on the Effective Date) without the
consent of the Supermajority Lenders.

 

109

 

(b)           If,
in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of any
of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v),
inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 13.12(a), the consent of the
Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other
Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have
the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is
required are treated as described in either clauses (A) or (B) below, to either
(A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more
Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 so long as at the time of such
replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change,
waiver, discharge or termination or (B) repay all outstanding Term Loans of
such Lender in accordance with Section 5.01(b), provided that, unless
the Term Loans that are repaid pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately
replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the
increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans of existing Lenders
(who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any
action pursuant to preceding clause (B) the Required Lenders (determined after
giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto, provided
further, that in any event the Borrower shall not have the right to replace
a Lender, terminate its Commitments or repay its Term Loans solely as a result
of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required
consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 13.12(a).

 

13.13.      Survival.  All
indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.10,
2.11, 5.04, 12.06 and 13.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and
termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the
Obligations.

 

13.14.      Domicile of Term Loans.  Each Lender
may transfer and carry its Term Loans at, to or for the account of any office,
Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent
that a transfer of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 13.14 would, at the
time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11
or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such
transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs
(although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of
the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the
respective transfer).

 

13.15.      Register.  The
Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as its agent,
solely for purposes of this Section 13.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”)
on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the
Lenders, the Term Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in
respect of the principal amount of the Term 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 Term 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 Term Loan made pursuant to such
Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the
Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of
such Commitments and Term Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing
to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Term Loans shall remain
owing to the transferor.  The
registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and
Term Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only
upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and
delivered

 

110

 

Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant
to Section 13.04(b).  Coincident with the
delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative
Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part
of a Term Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or
transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Term Loan,
and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount
shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at
the request of any such Lender.  The
Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be
imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in
performing its duties under this Section 13.15.

 

13.16.      Confidentiality.  (a) 
Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 13.16, each
Lender agrees that it will not disclose without the prior consent of the
Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another
Lender if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole
discretion determines that any such party should have access to such
information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect
to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future
furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided
that any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally
available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section
13.16(a) by the respective Lender or its affiliate, (ii) 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, (iii) as may be required or appropriate in
respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv)
in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such
Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (vi) to any
direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar
agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so
long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to
be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.16 and (vii) to any prospective
or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated
transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest
therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee agrees
to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.16.

 

(b)           The
Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of
its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Lender, any information
related to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without
limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such
Lender.

 

13.17.      Special Provisions Regarding Pledges of Equity
Interests in, and Promissory Notes Owed by, Persons Not Organized in the United
States.  The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that the provisions of the various Security Documents
executed and delivered by the Credit Parties require that, among other things,
all promissory notes executed by, and capital stock and other Equity Interests
in, various Persons owned by the respective

 

111

 

Credit Party be pledged, and delivered for
pledge, pursuant to the Security Documents. 
The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that each Credit Party
shall be required to take all actions under the laws of the jurisdiction in
which such Credit Party is organized to create and perfect all security
interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents and to take all
actions under the laws of the United States and any State thereof to perfect
the security interests in the capital stock and other Equity Interests of, and
promissory notes issued by, any Person organized under the laws of said
jurisdictions (in each case, to the extent said capital stock, other Equity
Interests or promissory notes are owned by any Credit Party).  Except as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence, to the extent any Security Document requires or provides
for the pledge of promissory notes issued by, or capital stock or other Equity
Interests in, any Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than
those specified in the immediately preceding sentence, it is acknowledged that,
as of the Borrowing Date, no actions have been required to be taken to perfect,
under local law of the jurisdiction of the Person who issued the respective
promissory notes or whose capital stock or other Equity Interests are pledged,
under the Security Documents.  The
Borrower hereby agrees that, following any request by the Administrative Agent
or Required Lenders to do so, the Borrower shall, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to, take such actions under the local law of any jurisdiction with
respect to which such actions have not already been taken as are determined by
the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to be reasonably necessary or
desirable in order to fully perfect, preserve or protect the security interests
granted pursuant to the various Security Documents under the laws of such
jurisdictions.  If requested to do so
pursuant to this Section 13.17, all such actions shall be taken in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 13.17 and Section 9.12 and within the time
periods set forth therein.  All
conditions and representations contained in this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the
foregoing and so that same are not violated by reason of the failure to take
actions under local law (but only with respect to capital stock of, other
Equity Interests in, and promissory notes issued by, Persons organized under
laws of jurisdictions other than the United States and any State thereof) not
required to be taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.17,
provided that to the extent any representation or warranty would not be true because
the foregoing actions were not taken, the respective representation of
warranties shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects at
such time as the respective action is required to be taken in accordance with
the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.17.

 

13.18.      Limitation on Additional Amounts, etc.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.04 of this Agreement, unless a Lender
gives notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay an amount under such
Section within six months after the later of (x) the date the Lender incurs the
respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in
amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital or (y) the
date such Lender has actual knowledge of its incurrence of the respective
increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reductions in amounts
received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, then such Lender
shall only be entitled to be compensated for such amount by the Borrower
pursuant to said Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.04, as the case may be, to the extent
of the costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received
or receivable or reduction in return on capital that are incurred or suffered
on or after the date which occurs six months prior to such Lender giving notice
to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay the respective amounts pursuant to
said Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.04, as the case may be.  This Section 13.18 shall

 

112

 

have no applicability to any Section of this
Agreement other than said Sections 2.10, 2.11 or 5.04.

 

13.19.      Post-Closing
Actions.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, the
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that:

 

(a)           (i)  The Credit Parties are not required to have
filed (or cause to have filed) on or prior to the Borrowing Date Financing
Statements (on Form UCC-1) or amendments thereto (on Form UCC-3) necessary to
perfect the security interests purported to be created by the Security
Agreement or the Pledge Agreement and (ii) not later than the 7th
day after the Borrowing Date (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent
shall agree to in its sole discretion), the Credit Parties shall have filed (or
cause to have filed) all of such Financing Statements (Form UCC-1) or
amendments thereto (on Form UCC-3) necessary to perfect the security interest
purported to be created by the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement.

 

(b)           (i)
None of NetZero, Inc., Juno Online Services, Inc. and Classmates International,

be,  pledged pursuant to the Pledge
Agreement and (ii) within 15 days following the Borrowing Date (or such longer
period as the Administrative Agent shall agree to in its sole discretion), the
respective Subsidiary of the Borrower shall deliver its relevant certificate to
the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Pledge Agreement.

 

(c)           The
Borrower and each relevant Subsidiary shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain and deliver to the Collateral Agent fully executed landlord waivers
and/or bailee agreements in respect of those Leaseholds designated as “Leaseholds
Subject to Landlord Waivers” on Schedule III hereto, each of which landlord
waivers and/or bailee agreements shall be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

 

(d)           Within
90 days after the Borrowing Date, the Borrower shall have caused the
organizational documents of Juno India to be amended to eliminate all
prohibitions and restrictions on the pledge, assignment or transfer of Equity
Interests of Juno India (including, without limitation, (i) any requirement of
notice of such pledge, transfer or assignment, (ii) any right of first refusal
in favor of existing shareholders and (iii) any prohibition on such pledge,
assignment or transfer without the sanction of the board of directors of Juno
India).

 

(e)           The
Borrower shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Form UCC-3
termination statements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in
respect of the Liens marked with an asterisk on Schedule VII hereto and caused
same to be filed in the appropriate governmental office within 60 days
following the Borrowing Date (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent
shall agree to in its sole discretion).

(f)            Within 45 days following the Borrowing Date,
NetZero, Inc. shall have closed, or delivered to the Collateral Agent “control”
agreements (in the form required by Section 3.2(b)(i) of the Pledge Agreement
and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent) with respect to, its securities accounts numbered CP-12695-G2, 19-78710,
19-78C87 and 19-21764 maintained with UBS or Morgan Stanley, as the case may
be.

 

All conditions precedent
and representations contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents
shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing (and
to permit the taking of the actions described above within the time periods
required above, rather than as elsewhere provided in the Credit Documents), provided
that (x) to the extent any representation and warranty would not be true
because the foregoing actions were not taken on the Borrowing Date, the
respective representation and warranty shall be required to be true and correct
in all material respects at the time the respective action is taken (or was
required to be taken) in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
Section 13.19 and (y) all representations and warranties relating to the
Security Documents shall be required to be true immediately after the actions
required to be taken by Section 13.19 have been taken (or were required to be
taken).  The incurrence of Term Loans on
the Borrowing Date shall constitute a representation, warranty and covenant by the
Borrower to each of the Lenders that the actions required pursuant to this
Section 13.19 will be, or have been, taken within the relevant time periods
referred to in this Section 13.19 and that, at such time, all representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall
then be true and correct without any modification pursuant to this Section
13.19, and the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the failure to take
any of the actions required above, within the relevant time periods required
above, shall give rise to an immediate Event of Default pursuant to this
Agreement.
