upon the Borrower Agent’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which
may be given by telephone.  Each such
notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.
(i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of,

shall notify the Borrower Agent (which notice may be by telephone) whether or
not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders.  Each telephonic notice by the Borrower Agent

to, Base Rate Loans.  Any such automatic conversion
to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period
then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans.  If the Borrower Agent requests a Borrowing
of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such
Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, the Borrowers
will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the
initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent
shall make all funds so received available to the Borrowers in like funds as
received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account
of the Borrowers on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds
or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with
instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative
Agent by the Borrower Agent; provided, however, that if, on the
date a Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Revolving Credit Borrowing is
given by the Borrower Agent, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the
proceeds of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, first, shall be applied to
the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be
made available to the Borrowers as provided above.

 

(c)           Except
as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or
converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate
Loan.  During the existence of a Default,
no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate
Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.

 

(d)           The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders
of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate
Loans upon determination of such interest rate. 
At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders of any change in Bank of
America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the
public announcement of such change.

 

(e)           After
giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans
from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans as the
same Type, there shall not be more than 4 Interest Periods in effect in respect
of the Term Facility.  After giving
effect to all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Credit
Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Revolving Credit
Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 4 Interest Periods in
effect in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

2.03         Letters
of Credit.

 

(a)  The Letter of Credit Commitment.  (i)  Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the
agreements of the Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03,
(1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of
Credit for the account of the Borrowers or
any of their respective Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of
Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b),
and (2) to honor 

 

34

 

drawings under the
Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to
participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of either of the
Borrowers or any of their respective
Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after
giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit,
(x) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving
Credit Facility, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving
Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender, plus such Lender’s
Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage
of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s
Revolving Credit Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C
Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.  Each request by the Borrower Agent for the
issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation
by the Borrowers that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the
conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of
Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrowers may, during the
foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that
have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

 

(ii)           The L/C Issuer
shall not issue any Letter of Credit if:

 

(A)                  subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii),
the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve
months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required
Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

 

(B)                   the expiry date of such
requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration
Date, unless all the Revolving Credit Lenders have approved such expiry date.

 

(iii)          The L/C Issuer shall not be under any
obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

 

(A)                  any order, judgment or decree
of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to
enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any
Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over
the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the
issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular
or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any
restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not
otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall
impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not
applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems
material to it;

 

(B)                   the issuance of such Letter
of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to
letters of credit generally;

 

35

 

(C)                   except as otherwise agreed by
the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an
initial stated amount less than $50,000;

 

(D)                  such Letter of Credit is to be
denominated in a currency other than Dollars;

 

(E)                   such
Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the
stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

 

(F)                   a default of any Lender’s
obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any Lender
is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has
entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender to
eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender.

 

(iv)          The L/C Issuer shall not amend any
Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue
such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

 

(v)           The L/C Issuer shall be under no
obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have
no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form
under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit
does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

 

(vi)          The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of
the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it
and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of
the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX
with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in
connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it
and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the
term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C
Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally
provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

 

(b)           Procedures
for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of
Credit.

 

(i)            Each Letter of
Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the
Borrower Agent delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed
and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Agent.  Such Letter of Credit Application must be
received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.
at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative
Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole
discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the
case may be.  In the case of a request
for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit
Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C
Issuer:  (A) the proposed issuance
date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the
amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the applicable
Borrower; (E) the

 

36

 

name and
address of the beneficiary thereof; (F) the documents to be presented by
such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the full text of
any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; (H) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit;
and (I) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require.  In the case of a request for an amendment of
any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall
specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (1) the Letter
of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which
shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such
other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. 
Additionally, the Borrower Agent shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such
requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer
Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

 

(ii)           Promptly after receipt of any Letter
of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative
Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a
copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower Agent and, if not,
the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.  Unless the L/C Issuer has received written
notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan
Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or
amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable
conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied,
then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the
requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable
Borrower (or the
applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the
case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and
customary business practices. 
Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving
Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of
Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s
Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Letter
of Credit.

 

(iii)          If the Borrower Agent so requests in any
applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic
extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such
Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such
extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date
of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary
thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be
agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer,
the Borrower Agent shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C
Issuer for any such extension.  Once an
Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders
shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to
permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not
later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however,
that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C
Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no
obligation 

 

37

 

at
such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended)
under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of
Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received
notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is
seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the
Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to
permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving
Credit Lender or the Borrower Agent that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in
each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

 

(iv)          Promptly after its delivery of any
Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank
with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also
deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent a true and complete
copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

 

(c)           Drawings
and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

 

(i)            Upon receipt from the beneficiary of
any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit,
the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent
thereof.  Not later than 11:00 a.m.
on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each
such date, an “Honor Date”), the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the
L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of
such drawing.  If such Borrower fails to
so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of
the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of
such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage
thereof.  In such event, the applicable
Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the
Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02
for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the
unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set
forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan
Notice).  Any notice given by the L/C
Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may
be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that
the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness
or binding effect of such notice.

 

(ii)           Each Revolving Credit Lender shall
upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the
Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving
Credit Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on
the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent,
whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each
Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have
made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds
so received to the L/C Issuer.

 

38

 

(iii)          With respect to any Unreimbursed
Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot
be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed
to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the
Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due
and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the
Default Rate.  In such event, each
Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be
deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall
constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation
obligation under this Section 2.03.

 

(iv)          Until each Revolving Credit Lender
funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit,
interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of
such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

 

(v)           Each Revolving Credit Lender’s
obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C
Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c),
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense
or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, any Borrower
or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however,
that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions
set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower
Agent of a Committed Loan Notice ).  No
such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation
of each Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made
by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as
provided herein.

 

(vi)          If any Revolving Credit Lender fails
to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer
any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii),
the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through
the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the
period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the
greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any
administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C
Issuer in connection with the foregoing. 
If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid),
the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in
the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C
Borrowing, as the case may be.  A
certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender 

 

39

 

(through the Administrative
Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)           Repayment
of Participations.

 

(i)            At any time after the L/C Issuer has
made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving
Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in
accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent
receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the
related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from a
Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by
the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such
Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof in the same funds as
those received by the Administrative Agent.

 

(ii)           If any payment received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is
required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its
discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage
thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such
Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time
in effect.  The obligations of the
Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations
and the termination of this Agreement.

 

(e)           Obligations
Absolute.  The obligation of the
Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of
Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be joint and several, absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

 

(i)            any lack of validity or
enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan
Document;

 

(ii)           the existence of any claim,
counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that either Borrower or any of
their respective Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary or
any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such
beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument
relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

 

(iii)          any draft, demand, certificate or
other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein
being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing
under such Letter of Credit;

 

40

 

(iv)          any payment by the L/C Issuer under
such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does
not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment
made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to
be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any
beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising
in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

 

(v)           any other circumstance or happening
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, either Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

 

The Borrower Agent shall promptly examine a copy of
each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and,
in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower Agent’s
instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower Agent will immediately notify
the L/C Issuer.  Each Borrower shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and
its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

 

(f)            Role
of L/C Issuer.  Each Lender and each
Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C
Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any
sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of
Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such
document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such
document.  None of the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any
correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any
Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the
request or with the approval of the Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required
Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due
execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or
instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document.  Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the
acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of
any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is
not intended to, and shall not, preclude each Borrower’s pursuing such rights
and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or
under any other agreement.  None of the
L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties
nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be
liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through
(v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that
anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the applicable
Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be
liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct,
as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the applicable
Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful
misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under
any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight
draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions
of a Letter of Credit.  In furtherance
and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that
appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of

 

41

 

any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not
be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring
or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the
rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which
may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

 

(g)           Cash
Collateral.  Upon the request of the
Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or
partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has
resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the
Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. 
Sections 2.05 and 8.02(c) set forth certain
additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder.  For purposes of this Section 2.03,
Section 2.05 and Section 8.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit
with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer
and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account
balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented
to by the Lenders).  Derivatives of such
term have corresponding meanings.  Each
Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C
Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts
and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing.  Cash Collateral shall be maintained in
blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America.  If at any time the Administrative Agent
determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or
claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or that the total
amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations, the Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative
Agent to either Borrower, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds
to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such
aggregate Outstanding Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any,
then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be
free and clear of any such right and claim. 
Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit
as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under
applicable Laws, to reimburse the L/C Issuer.

 

(h)           Applicability
of ISP.  Unless otherwise expressly
agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued,
the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.

 

(i)            Letter
of Credit Fees.  The Borrowers shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender
in accordance with its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage a Letter of
Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal
to the Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn
under such Letter of Credit.  For
purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter
of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in
accordance with Section 1.06. 
Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first
Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December,
commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter
of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and
(ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears.  If there is any change in the Applicable Rate
during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of
Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for
each period 

 

42

 

during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, upon the request of the Required Revolving Lenders, while any
Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default
Rate.

 

(j)            Fronting
Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.  The Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C
Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of
Credit, at a rate of 0.125%, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn
under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears.  Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on
the tenth Business Day after the end of each March,
June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or
portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first
such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter
of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.  For purposes of computing the daily amount
available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of
Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06.  In addition, the Borrowers shall pay directly
to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation,
amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of
the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.  Such customary fees and standard costs and
charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

 

(k)           Conflict
with Issuer Documents.  In the event
of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document,
the terms hereof shall control.

 

(l)            Letters
of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit
issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for
the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally
obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under
such Letter of Credit.  Each Borrower
hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of
any of their respective Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrowers,
and that the Borrowers’ business derives substantial benefits from the
businesses of such Subsidiaries.

 

2.04         Swing
Line Loans.

 

(a)  The Swing Line.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the
other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, to make loans (each
such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time on any
Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed
at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding
the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable
Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans
and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the
amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however,
that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving
Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility at such
time, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit
Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender at such time, plus such Revolving
Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time, plus such Revolving Credit
Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of
all Swing Line Loans at such time shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving
Credit Commitment, and provided  further  

 

43

 

that neither Borrower
shall use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding
Swing Line Loan.  Within the foregoing
limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may
borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05,
and reborrow under this Section 2.04.  Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only
at a rate based on the Base Rate. 
Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit
Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line
Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s
Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Swing
Line Loan.

 

(b)           Borrowing
Procedures.  Each Swing Line
Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower Agent’s irrevocable notice to the
Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone.  Each such notice must be
received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than
1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the
amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $500,000, (ii) the applicable Borrower,
and (iii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business
Day.  Each such telephonic notice must be
confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed
by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Agent. 
Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing
Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative
Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also
received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will
notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents
thereof.  Unless the Swing Line Lender
has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent
(including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m.
on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing
Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set
forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a),
or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV
is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date
specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line
Loan available to the applicable Borrower at its office by crediting the
account of the applicable Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in
immediately available funds.

 

(c)           Refinancing
of Swing Line Loans.

 

The Swing Line Lender at any
time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the
Borrowers (each of which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to
so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate
Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage
of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.  Such request shall be made in writing (which
written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes
hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02,
without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal
amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the
Revolving Credit Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.  The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the
Borrower Agent with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly
after delivering such notice to 

 

44

 

the Administrative Agent.  Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an
amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount
specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent
in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day
specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii),
each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to
have made a Base Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the
funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

 

(i)            If for any reason any Swing Line
Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit  Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i),
the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth
herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of
the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing
Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall
be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

 

(ii)           If any Revolving Credit Lender fails
to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line
Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i),
the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon
for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such
payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum
equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily
charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing.  If such Lender pays such amount (with
interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such
Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded
participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.  A certificate of the Swing Line Lender
submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any
amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

 

(iii)          Each Revolving Credit Lender’s
obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall
be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, either Borrower or
any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however,
that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions
set forth in Section 4.02. 
No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair
the obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swing Line Loans, together with
interest as provided herein.

 

45

 

(d)           Repayment
of Participations.

 

At any time after any Revolving
Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line
Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing
Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit
Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof in the same funds as
those received by the Swing Line Lender.

 

(i)            If any payment received by the Swing
Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is
required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances
described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit
Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit
Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest
thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a
rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. 
The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the
Swing Line Lender.  The obligations of
the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

(e)           Interest
for Account of Swing Line Lender. 
The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrowers
for interest on the Swing Line Loans. 
Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk
participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such
Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of any Swing
Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage
shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

 

(f)            Payments
Directly to Swing Line Lender.  The
Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the
Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

 

2.05         Prepayments.

 

(a) 
Optional.

 

(i)            Generally.              Subject to Section 2.05(a)(ii) and
the last two sentences of this Section 2.05(a)(i), the Borrowers
may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time
voluntarily prepay the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in
part; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) three Business
Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) on
the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any prepayment of
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (C) any prepayment of Base
Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount
thereof then outstanding.  Each such
notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of
Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the
Interest Period(s) of such Loans. 
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each

 

46

 

Lender of its
receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion
of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the
relevant Facility).  If such notice is
given by the Borrower Agent, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the
payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein.  Any prepayment of a
Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount
prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.  Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied to the
principal repayment installments thereof in inverse order of maturity, and each
such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Applicable Percentages in respect of each of the relevant
Facilities.

 

(ii)           Prepayment Premiums.

 

(A)       Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, all prepayments of the Term Loan that are made in accordance with
this Section 2.05(a) prior to the first anniversary of the
Closing Date shall be subject to a prepayment premium equal to the present
value, as determined by Holdings and certified by a Responsible Officer of
Holdings to the Administrative Agent, of (1) all required interest
payments due on such Term Loans from the date of prepayment through and
including the first anniversary of the Closing Date (excluding accrued
interest) (assuming that the interest rate applicable to all such interest is
the swap rate at the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the
date of such prepayment with the termination date nearest to the first anniversary
of the Closing Date plus the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans) plus (2) the
prepayment premium that would be due pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(ii)(B) if
such prepayment were made on the day after the first anniversary of the Closing
Date, in each case discounted to the date of prepayment on a quarterly basis
(assuming a 360-day year and actual days elapsed) at a rate equal to the sum of
such swap rate plus 0.50%.

 

(B)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, all prepayments of the Term Loan that are made in accordance with
this Section 2.05(a) prior to the second anniversary of the
Closing Date, but on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, shall
be subject to an additional premium equal to the amount of such prepayment
multiplied by 1%, with respect to each such prepayment made prior to the second
anniversary of the Closing Date.  On or
after the second  anniversary of the Closing Date,
no premiums or penalties shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(ii) in
connection with any prepayments of the Term Loan.

 

Swing Line
Loans.             The
Borrowers may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay
Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided
that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the
prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal
amount of $100,000.  Each such notice
shall specify the date and 

 

47

 

amount of such
prepayment.  If such notice is given by
the Borrower Agent, the applicable Borrower shall make such prepayment and the
payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein.

 

(b)           Mandatory.

 

(i)            Within five
Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and
the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(b),
the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to the
excess (if any) of (A) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year covered
by such financial statements over (B) the aggregate principal amount of Term
Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) (such prepayments
to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below).

 

(ii)           If any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries Disposes of any property (other than any Disposition of any
property permitted by Sections 7.05(b), (c), (d) or (e))
which results in the realization by such Person of Net Cash Proceeds, the
Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of
such Net Cash Proceeds immediately upon receipt thereof by such Person (such prepayments
to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below); provided, however, that, with respect to any Net Cash
Proceeds realized under a Disposition described in this Section 2.05(b)(ii),
at the election of the Borrowers (as notified by the Borrower Agent to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of such Disposition), and so long
as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers or such
Subsidiary may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in
operating assets so long as within 270 days after the receipt of such Net Cash
Proceeds, such purchase shall have been consummated (as certified by the
Borrowers in writing to the Administrative Agent); and provided  further,
however, that any Net Cash Proceeds not subject to such definitive
agreement or so reinvested shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of
the Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05(b)(ii).

 

(iii)          Upon the incurrence or issuance by either Borrower  or
any of their respective Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than
Indebtedness expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.02),
the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100%
of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by
either Borrower or such
Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below).

 

(iv)          Upon any Extraordinary Receipt
received by or paid to or for the account of either Borrower or any of their
Subsidiaries, and not otherwise included in clause (ii) or (iii) of
this Section 2.05(b), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate
principal amount of Loans equal to 50% of all Net Cash Proceeds received
therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by such Borrower or such Subsidiary
(such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below); provided, however, that
with respect to any proceeds of insurance, condemnation awards (or payments in
lieu thereof) or indemnity payments, at the election of the applicable Borrower
(as notified by the Borrower Agent to the Administrative Agent on or prior to
the date of receipt of such insurance proceeds, 

 

48

 

condemnation
awards or indemnity payments), and so long as no Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the applicable Borrower or such Subsidiary may apply within
270 days after the receipt of such cash proceeds to replace or repair the
equipment, fixed assets or real property in respect of which such cash proceeds
were received; and provided, further, however, that any
cash proceeds not so applied shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of
the Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05(b)(iv).

 

Each prepayment of Loans
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(b) shall
be applied first to the Term
Facility and to the principal repayment installments thereof in inverse order
of maturity, second to the extent
of any excess, to repay the Revolving Credit Loans (without  a corresponding permanent reduction in the
Revolving Credit Commitment),
and third, to the extent of any
excess, to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Second Lien Term
Loan as required pursuant to Section 2.05 of the Second Lien Credit
Agreement.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, regardless of whether there are amounts outstanding under the
Revolving Credit Facility, each Term Lender having outstanding Term Loans may
elect to decline its Applicable Percentage of any mandatory prepayment by
notifying the Administrative Agent within three days of receipt of the notice
of such prepayment.  All mandatory
prepayments declined in accordance with the foregoing shall be re-offered to
those Term Lenders under this Agreement who have initially accepted such
prepayment (such re-offer to be made to each such Term Lender based on the
percentage which such Lender’s Term Loans represents of the aggregate Term
Loans of all such Term Lenders who have initially accepted such
prepayment).  In the event of such a
re-offer, the relevant Term Lenders may elect to decline, by notice to the
Administrative Agent within two days of such re-offering, all of the amount of
such prepayment that is re-offered to them, in which case the aggregate amount
of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay such Term Loans pursuant
to such re-offer but was so declined shall be applied first to repay the Revolving Credit Loans
(without  a corresponding permanent
reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitment),
second to the extent of any excess, to reduce the outstanding principal balance
of the Second Lien Term Loan as required pursuant to Section 2.05
of the Second Lien Credit Agreement, and third, to the extent of any remaining funds, to the
Borrowers.  Any Term Lender that does not
promptly notify the Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing that
it is declining a mandatory prepayment shall automatically be deemed to have
accepted such prepayment and any re-offer in respect thereof.

 

(v)           If for any reason the Total Revolving
Credit Outstandings at any time exceed the Revolving Credit Facility at such
time, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line
Loans and L/C Borrowings and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (other
than the L/C Borrowings) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

 

2.06         Termination
or Reduction of Commitments.

 

(a) 
Optional.  The Borrowers may, upon
notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Revolving Credit Facility,
the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit, or from time to time
permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Facility, the Letter of Credit

 

49

 

Sublimit or the Swing
Line Sublimit; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received
by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days
prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial
reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrowers shall not
terminate or reduce (A) the Revolving Credit Facility if, after giving
effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving
Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Facility, (B) the
Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding
Amount of L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed
the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or (C) the Swing Line Sublimit if, after
giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the
Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans would exceed the Letter of Credit
Sublimit.

 

(b)           Mandatory.

 

(i)            The aggregate
Term  Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero
on the date of the Term Borrowing.

 

(ii)           If after giving effect to any
reduction or termination of Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.06,
the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the Revolving
Credit Facility at such time, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line
Sublimit, as the case may be, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of
such excess.

 

(c)           Application
of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. 
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any
termination or reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, Swing Line Sublimit
or the Revolving Credit Commitment under this Section 2.06.  Upon any reduction of the Revolving Credit
Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender
shall be reduced by such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of
such reduction amount.  All fees in
respect of the Revolving Credit Facility accrued until the effective date of
any termination of the Revolving Credit Facility shall be paid on the effective
date of such termination.

 

2.07         Repayment
of Loans.

 

(a)           Term
Loans.  The Borrowers, jointly and
severally, shall repay to the Term Lenders the aggregate principal amount of
all Term Loans outstanding on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date,
in equal quarterly installments of $1,250,000; provided, however,
that the final principal repayment installment of the Term Loans shall be
repaid on the Maturity Date for the Term Facility and in any event shall
be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans
outstanding on such date.

 

(b)           Revolving
Credit Loans.  The Borrowers, jointly
and severally, shall repay to the Revolving Credit Lenders on the Maturity Date
for the Revolving Credit Facility the aggregate principal amount of all

Line Loans.  The Borrowers, jointly
and severally, shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the
date ten Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date
for the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

2.08         Interest.

 

(a)           Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate
Loan under a Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar
Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate for such
Facility; (ii) each Base Rate Loan under a Facility shall bear interest on
the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at
a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for
such Facility; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a
rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for the
Revolving Credit Facility.

 

(b)           (i) 
If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to
any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest
rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Laws.

 

(ii)           If any amount (other than principal
of any Loan) payable by either Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid
when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders
such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per
annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws.

 

(iii)          Upon the request of the Required
Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrowers shall pay interest on
the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating
interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

(iv)          Accrued and unpaid interest on past
due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable
upon demand.

 

(c)           Interest
on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable
in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and
after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

 

2.09         Fees.  In addition to certain fees described in Sections
2.03(i) and (j):

 

(a)           Commitment
Fee.  The Borrowers, jointly and
severally, shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Revolving Credit
Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Fee Rate times the
actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Facility exceeds the sum of (i) the

 

51

 

Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans
and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations.  Swingline Loans shall not be considered
utilization of the Revolving Credit Facility for purposes of this
calculation.  The commitment fee shall
accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during
which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and
shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each
March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date
to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period
for the Revolving Credit Facility.  The
commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any
change in the Applicable Fee Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount
shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Fee Rate separately for each
period during such quarter that such Applicable Fee Rate was in effect.

 

(b)           Other
Fees.  (i)  The Borrowers,
jointly and severally, shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for
their own respective accounts and for the accounts of the Lenders fees in the
amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter (without duplication of
any fees payable pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement).  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and
shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

 

(ii)           The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders
such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts
and at the times so specified.  Such fees
shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason
whatsoever.

 

2.10         Computation
of Interest and Fees; Retroactive
Adjustments of Applicable Rate.

 

(a)  All
computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined
by Bank of America’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365
or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest
shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which
results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on
the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest
shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not
accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such
portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day
on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear
interest for one day.  Each determination
by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

(b)           If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment
to the financial statements of Holdings or for any other reason, either
Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio
as calculated by the Borrowers as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a
proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in
higher pricing for such period, the Borrowers shall immediately and
retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or,
after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with
respect to either Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States,
automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of
interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of
interest and fees actually paid for such period.  This

 

52

 

paragraph
shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(i) or
2.08(b) or under Article VIII.  The Borrowers’ obligations under this
paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the
repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

 

2.11         Evidence
of Debt.

 

(a)  The Credit Extensions made by each Lender
shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender
and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative
Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount
of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest
and payments thereon.  Any failure to so
record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect
the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect
to the Obligations.  In the event of any
conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters,
the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error.  Upon the
request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers
shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a
Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or
records.  Each Lender may attach
schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable),
amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

 

(b)           In
addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a),
each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its
usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such
Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans.  In the event of any conflict between the
accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts
and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records
of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

 

2.12         Payments
Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

 

(a)           General.  All payments to be made by either Borrower
shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff.  Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by either Borrower hereunder
shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective
Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in
Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the
date specified herein.  The
Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable
Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility (or other applicable share as
provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to
such Lender’s Lending Office.  All
payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be
deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest
or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any
payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a
Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and
such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the
case may be.

 

53

 

(b)           Presumptions
by Administrative Agent.

 

Funding by
Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of
Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans,
prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or,
in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such
share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02)
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a
corresponding amount.  In such event, if
a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available
to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender on the one hand and the
Borrowers on the other severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds
with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
made available to either Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such
Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees
customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers,
the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay
such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of
such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the
applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without
prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have
failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

 

(i)            Payments by Borrowers;
Presumptions by Administrative Agent. 
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrowers prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the
Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and
may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or
the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrowers have not in
fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer,
as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer,
in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date
of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

 

54

 

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or
the Borrower Agent with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall
be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(c)           Failure
to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If
any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be
made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II,
and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative
Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV
are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from
such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

 

(d)           Obligations
of Lenders Several.  The obligations
of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, to fund
participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments
pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan,
to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on
any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its
corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its
participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

 

(e)           Funding
Source.  Nothing herein shall be
deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any
particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that
it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place
or manner.

 

(f)            Insufficient
Funds.  If at any time insufficient
funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully
all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder,
such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest
and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second,
toward payment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal
and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.

 

2.13         Sharing
of Payments by Lenders.  If any
Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations in respect of any the
Facilities due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such
Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in
respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the
Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the
Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations in respect of any of the
Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according
to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due
and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of
the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to
all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of
payment 

 

55

 

on account of the
Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all
Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by
all of the Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase
(for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in
L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other
adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount
of Obligations in respect of the Facilities then due and payable to the Lenders
or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided
that:

 

(i)            if any such
participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or
subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, without interest; and

 

(ii)           the provisions of
this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made
by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or
subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or
participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which
the provisions of this Section shall apply).

 

Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to
the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender
acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
against the Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the
Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

 

2.14         Obligations
Joint and Several.

 

(a)                           Nature
of Obligations.  Each of the
Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for the Obligations, however incurred.  References to the Borrowers with respect to
the Obligations or any portion thereof shall mean each Borrower on a joint and
several basis.

 

(b)                           Bankruptcy
Limitations.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, it is the intention of each Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders that, in any proceeding involving the
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debts, relief of
debtors, dissolution or insolvency or any similar proceeding with respect to
any Borrower or its assets, the amount of such Borrower’s obligations with
respect to the Obligations shall be equal to, but not in excess of, the maximum
amount thereof not subject to avoidance or recovery by operation of Applicable
Insolvency Laws (as defined below) after giving effect to Section 2.14(c).  To that end, but only in the event and to the
extent that after giving effect to Section 2.14(c), such Borrower’s
obligations with respect to the Obligations or any payment made pursuant to
such Obligations would, but for the operation of the first sentence of this Section 2.14(b),
be subject to avoidance or recovery in any such proceeding under Applicable
Insolvency Laws after giving effect to Section 2.14(c), the amount
of such 

 

56

 

Borrower’s obligations with respect to the
Obligations shall be limited to the largest amount which, after giving effect
thereto, would not, under Applicable Insolvency Laws, render such Borrower’s
obligations with respect to the Obligations unenforceable or avoidable or
otherwise subject to recovery under Applicable Insolvency Laws.  To the extent any payment actually made
pursuant to the Obligations exceeds the limitation of the first sentence of
this Section 2.14(b) and is otherwise subject to avoidance and
recovery in any such proceeding under Applicable Insolvency Laws, the amount
subject to avoidance shall in all events be limited to the amount by which such
actual payment exceeds such limitation and the Obligations as limited by the
first sentence of this Section 2.14(b) shall in all events remain
in full force and effect and be fully enforceable against such Borrower.  The first sentence of this Section 2.14(b) is
intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders hereunder against such Borrower in such proceeding to the maximum
extent permitted by Applicable Insolvency Laws and neither such Borrower nor
any other Person shall have any right or claim under such sentence that would
not otherwise be available under Applicable Insolvency Laws in such
proceeding.  For the purposes of this Section 2.14(b),
“Applicable Insolvency Laws” means
all applicable laws governing bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment of debts, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency, fraudulent
transfers or conveyances or other similar laws, whether foreign or domestic
(including, without limitation, 11 U.S.C. Sections 544, 547, 548 and 550
and other “avoidance” provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code, as
amended or supplemented).

 

(c)           Agreement
for Contribution.  The Borrowers
hereby agree among themselves that, if either Borrower shall make an Excess
Payment (as defined below), such Borrower shall have a right of contribution
from the other Borrower in an amount equal to such other Borrower’s
Contribution Share (as defined below) of such Excess Payment.  The payment obligations of any Borrower under
this Section 2.14(c) shall be subordinate and subject in right
of payment to the Obligations until such time as the Obligations have been paid
in full, and neither Borrower shall exercise any right or remedy under this Section 2.14(c) against
the other Borrower until such Obligations have been paid in full.  For purposes of this Section 2.14(c),
(i) “Excess Payment” shall mean the amount paid by any Borrower in excess
of its Ratable Share of any Obligations; (ii) “Ratable Share” shall mean,
for any Borrower in respect of any payment of Obligations, the ratio (expressed
as a percentage) as of the date of such payment of Obligations of (A) the
amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets
and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Borrower
(including probable contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated
liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Borrower hereunder) to (B) the
amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and
other properties of all of the Borrowers exceeds the amount of all of the debts
and liabilities (including probable contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and
unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrowers
hereunder) of the Borrowers; provided, however, that, for purposes of
calculating the Ratable Shares of the Borrowers in respect of any payment of
Obligations, any Borrower that became a Borrower subsequent to the date of any
such payment shall be deemed to have been a Borrower on the date of such
payment and the financial information for such Borrower as of the date such
Borrower became a Borrower shall be utilized for such Borrower in connection
with such payment; and (iii) “Contribution Share” shall mean, for any
Borrower in respect of any Excess Payment made by any other Borrower, the ratio
(expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such Excess Payment of (A) the
amount by 

 

57

 

which the aggregate present fair salable
value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and
liabilities of such Borrower (including probable contingent, subordinated,
unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such
Borrower hereunder) to (B) the amount by which the aggregate present fair
salable value of all assets and other properties of the Borrower other than the
maker of such Excess Payment exceeds the amount of all of the debts and
liabilities (including probable contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and
unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrowers) of
the Borrower other than the maker of such Excess Payment.  Each Borrower recognizes and acknowledges
that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in
favor of the party entitled to such contribution.  No Borrower shall have any right of
subrogation, indemnity or reimbursement under applicable law in respect of any
payment of Obligations (other than the contribution rights set forth in this Section 2.14(c))
against any other Borrower.  No Person
other than a Lender or a Borrower may rely on the provisions of this Section 2.14(c).

 

2.15         PMG
as Borrower Agent.  Holdings hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes PMG, and PMG hereby accepts such appointment and agrees
to act, as the Borrower Agent (a) to provide the Administrative Agent with
all notices with respect to all Borrowings obtained for the benefit of the
Borrowers and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement, (b) to
take such action on behalf of the Borrowers as the Borrower Agent deems
appropriate on its behalf to obtain Borrowings and to exercise such other
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this
Agreement and (c) to act as its agent for service of process and notices
required to be delivered under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, it
being understood and agreed that receipt by the Borrower Agent of any summons,
notice or other similar item shall be deemed effective receipt by the Borrowers
and their Subsidiaries.

 

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

 

3.01         Taxes.

 

(a)  Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of the Borrowers
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and
without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided
that if either Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any
Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the
sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions
and (iii) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(b)           Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. 
Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the
Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

58

 

(c)           Indemnification
by the Borrowers.  The Borrowers
shall, jointly and severally,
indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, within 10
days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on
or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and
any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority.  A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Agent by a Lender
or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C
Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)           Evidence
of Payments.  As soon as practicable
after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by either Borrower to a
Governmental Authority, the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(e)           Status
of Lenders.  Any Foreign Lender that
is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law
of the jurisdiction in which either Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or
any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Agent
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if requested by the
Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if
either Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign
Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent (in
such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to
the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower Agent or the
Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do
so), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(i)            duly completed
copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for
benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

 

(ii)           duly completed
copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

 

59

 

(iii)          in the case of a
Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest
under section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate to the effect
that such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of either
Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the
Code and (B) duly completed copies of 
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

 

(iv)          any other form
prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with
such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to
permit the Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be
made.

 

(f)            Treatment
of Certain Refunds.  If the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the
Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall
pay to the Borrowers  an amount equal to
such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section with respect to the
Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the
Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer if the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. 
This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any
other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to either
Borrower or any other Person.

 

3.02         Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any Law has
made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is
unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or
fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon
the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material
restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take
deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by
such Lender to the Borrower Agent through the Administrative Agent, any
obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to
convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such
Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower
Agent shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such
Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor,
if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to
such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain
such Eurodollar Rate Loans.  Upon any
such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on
the amount so prepaid or converted.

 

60

 

3.03         Inability to Determine Rates.  If the Required Lenders determine that for
any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a
conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not
being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the
applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate
and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the
Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify
the Borrower Agent and each Lender. 
Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the
instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower
Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have
converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans in the amount specified therein.

 

3.04         Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

 

(a)  Increased
Costs Generally.  If any Change in
Law shall:

 

(i)            impose, modify or
deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge
or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of,
or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve
requirement contemplated
by Section 3.04(e)) or the L/C Issuer;

 

(ii)           subject any Lender
or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any
Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to
such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or
any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C
Issuer); or

 

(iii)          impose on any
Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition,
cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such
Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

 

and the result of any of
the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make
any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of
participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of
maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit),
or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the
L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then,
upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers will pay to such
Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

61

 

(b)           Capital
Requirements.  If any Lender or the
L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C
Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s
holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s
capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company,
if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or
the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender,
or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which
such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of
such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

(c)           Certificates
for Reimbursement.  A certificate of
a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case
may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and
delivered to the Borrower Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 

(d)           Delay
in Requests.  Failure or delay on the
part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided
that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C
Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any
increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to
the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the
Borrower Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred
to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof).

 

(e)           Reserves
on Eurodollar Rate Loans.  The
Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to
maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or
including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each
Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such
Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which
determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date
on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower Agent
shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days
prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be
due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

 

62

 

3.05         Compensation for Losses.  Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly
compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or
expense incurred by it as a result of:

 

(a)   any continuation, conversion, payment or
prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last
day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory,
automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

 

(b)   any failure by either Borrower (for a reason
other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow,
continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the
amount notified by the Borrower Agent; or

 

(c)   any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a
day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a
request by the Borrowers (through the Borrower Agent) pursuant to Section 10.13;

 

including any loss
of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the
liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or
from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.  The
Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such
Lender in connection with the foregoing.

 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the
Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each
Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar
Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the
London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable
period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

 

3.06         Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

 

(a)           Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or either
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01,
or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the
judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04,
as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice
pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each
case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and
would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any
such designation or assignment.

 

(b)           Replacement
of Lenders.  If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or if either Borrower is required
to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for
the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrowers
may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

 

63

 

3.07         Survival.  All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III
shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all
other Obligations hereunder.

not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

operation of a general acute care hospital in material compliance with
applicable Environmental Laws.

 

(c)                                  None
of the Real Property is listed or proposed for listing on the NPL or on the

above or underground storage tanks currently operated on any of the Real

Regulations; Investment Company Act.

 

(a)                                  Neither Borrower is engaged or
will engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business
of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U
issued by the FRB), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
margin stock.

 

77

 

(b)           None
of the Borrowers, any Person Controlling either Borrower, or any Subsidiary of
either Borrower is or is required to be registered as an “investment company”
under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

5.15         Disclosure.  The Borrowers have disclosed to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate
or other restrictions to which they or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other Loan Party is subject,
and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate,
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  No report, financial statement, certificate
or other information furnished (whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf
of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or
delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case as modified
or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material
misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial
information, the Borrowers represent only that such information was prepared in
good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

 

5.16         Compliance
with Laws.  Each Loan Party and each
Subsidiary thereof is in compliance in all respects with the requirements of
all Laws (including all Health Care Laws and Seismic Compliance Laws (giving
effect to any extensions or exemptions then in existence), all applicable
Medicare and Medicaid rules and regulations, and to the extent applicable,
the California Department of Managed Care financial solvency regulations) and
all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its
properties, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law
or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply
therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
There is no basis for (a) any Offsets asserted or threatened to be
asserted against any Loan Party by any Obligor (including but not limited to
amounts due to Medicare or the IRS), or (b) any overdue or delinquent
liabilities or Indebtedness which could give rise to a right of a federal
Governmental Authority or any other Person to offset or levy with respect to
such liabilities or Indebtedness against any accounts receivable of a Loan
Party or payments due thereon.  No
condition exists and no event has occurred which, in itself or with the giving
of notice or lapse of time or both, would result in the suspension, revocation,
impairment, forfeiture or non-renewal of any governmental consent or permit
applicable to any Loan Party or any facility owned or operated by it.

 

5.17         Intellectual
Property; Licenses, Etc.  Each Loan
Party and each of its Subsidiaries own, or possess the right to use, all of the
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights,
franchises, licenses and other intellectual property rights (collectively, “IP
Rights”) that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their
respective businesses, without conflict with the rights of any other
Person.  To the best knowledge of each
Borrower, no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method,
substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be
employed, by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries infringes upon any
rights held by any other Person.  No
claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best
knowledge of each Borrower, 

 

78

 

threatened, which, either individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.18         Solvency.  Each Loan Party is, individually and together
with its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, Solvent.

 

5.19         Casualty,
Etc.  Neither the businesses nor the
properties of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries are affected by any
fire, explosion, accident, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, drought,
storm, hail, earthquake, embargo, act of God or of the public enemy or other
casualty (whether or not covered by insurance) that, either individually or in
the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.20         Health
Care Matters.

 

(a)           Compliance with Health Care Laws; Permits.  Without limiting the
generality of Section 5.16, each Loan Party and each of its
Subsidiaries, and any Person acting on their behalf, is in compliance in all
material respects with all Health Care Laws applicable to it, its products and
its properties or other assets or its business or operation, including its
provision of professional services.  Each
Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries, and any Person acting on their behalf,
has in effect all material Permits, including, without limitation, all material
Permits necessary for it to own, lease or operate its properties and other
assets and to carry on its business and operations, including its provision of
professional services, as presently conducted. 
All such material Permits are in full force and effect and there has
occurred no default under, or violation of, any such material Permit.  No action, demand, or investigation by any
Governmental Authority and no suit, action or proceeding by any other person,
in each case with respect to each Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries, any
Person acting on their behalf, or any of their respective properties, other
assets or provision of professional services under any requirements of Law, is
pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, threatened.

 

(b)           Filings. 
All reports,
documents, claims, notices or approvals required to be filed, obtained,
maintained or furnished to any Governmental Authority have been so filed,

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

9.01         Appointment
and Authority.

 

(a)           Each
of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America
to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on
its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto.  The
provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and neither Borrower nor
any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of
such provisions.

 

(b)           The Administrative Agent shall also
act as the “collateral agent”
and/or “control agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in
its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if applicable), potential Hedge
Bank and potential Cash Management Bank) and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such
Lender and the L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any
and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of
the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably
incidental thereto.  In this connection,
the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and/or “control agent” and any
co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing
any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the
Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at
the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits
of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X
(including Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents
and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” or “control agent” under the
Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

 

9.02         Rights
as a Lender.  The Person serving as
the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its
capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall,
unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, 

 

110

 

include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other
advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with either
Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were
not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor
to the Lenders.

 

9.03         Exculpatory
Provisions.  The Administrative Agent
shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents. 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent:

 

(a)   shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

(b)   shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the
Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided
that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in
its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent
to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

 

(c)   shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other
Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their
respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving
as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of
the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as
shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith
shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01
and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct.  The Administrative
Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until
notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.

 

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for
or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty
or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or
therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants,
agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or
priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the
value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, 

 

111

 

other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative
Agent.

 

9.04         Reliance
by Administrative Agent.  The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by
the proper Person.  The Administrative
Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon.  In
determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or
the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may
presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer
unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from
such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance
of such Letter of Credit.  The
Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the
advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

9.05         Delegation
of Duties.  The Administrative Agent
may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers
hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more
sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall
apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in
connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as
well as activities as Administrative Agent.

 

9.06         Resignation
of Administrative Agent.  The
Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the
Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower Agent. 
Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower Agent, to appoint a
successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an
Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the
Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting
the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders that no qualifying Person
has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become
effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents (except that
in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the
retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security
until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all
payments, communications and determinations 

 

112

 

provided to be made by,
to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each
Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders
appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this
Section.  Upon the acceptance of a
successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged
therefrom as provided above in this Section). 
The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent
shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed
between the Borrowers and such successor. 
After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent,
its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative
Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

 

Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as
L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender.  Upon
the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the
retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their
respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents,
and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in
substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such
succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer
to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect
to such Letters of Credit.

 

9.07         Non-Reliance
on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. 
Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any
of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement.  Each Lender and the L/C
Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties
and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

9.08         Intercreditor Agreement.    Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that
it has received and reviewed the Intercreditor Agreement and agrees to be bound
by the terms thereof.  Each Lender (and
each person that becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 10.06)
hereby (i) acknowledges that Bank of America is acting under the
Intercreditor Agreement in multiple capacities as the Administrative Agent, the
Second Lien Administrative Agent and the Control Agent (as defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement) and (ii) waives any conflict of interest, now
contemplated or arising hereafter, in connection therewith and agrees not to
assert against Bank of America any claims, cause of action, damages or
liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating thereto.  Each Lender (and each Person that becomes a
Lender 

 

113

 

hereunder pursuant
to Section 10.06) hereby authorizes and directs Bank of America to enter
into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lender and agrees that Bank
of America, in its various capacities thereunder, may take such actions on its
behalf as is contemplated by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

9.09         No
Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Syndication Agent, Bookrunners,
Arrangers or other titled entities listed on the cover page hereof shall
have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the
Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

 

9.10         Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. 
In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or
any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative
Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation
shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made
any demand on either Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
in such proceeding or otherwise

 

(a)   to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal
and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all
other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as
may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the
L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C
Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and
all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent
under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.09 and 10.04)
allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

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

 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such
payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C
Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent
and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent
under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

 

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

 

9.11         Collateral
and Guaranty Matters.  The Lenders
and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent at its option
and in its discretion,

 

114

 

(a)   to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than
contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of
all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in
connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
or (iii)  if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance
with Section 10.01;

 

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

 

(c)   to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such
property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i).

 

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time,
the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s
authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items
of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the
Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11.  In each case as specified in this Section 9.11,
the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver
to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably
request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment
and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate
its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations
under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents and this Section 9.11.

pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided
that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the L/C Issuer
pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as
applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of
receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.  The Administrative Agent or the Borrower
Agent may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications
to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by

AVAILABLE.”  THE AGENT PARTIES (AS
DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER
MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR
ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR
STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR
OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER
MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.  In no event
shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the
“Agent Parties”) have any liability to either Borrower, any Lender, the
L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of
either Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower
Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however,
that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to either Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for
indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to
direct or actual damages).

 

(d)           Change of Address, Etc.  Each of the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender may change its address,
telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder

Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number
for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender.  In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the
Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent
has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number,
telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other
communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such
Lender.  Furthermore, each Public Lender
agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender
to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar
designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to
enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public
Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States
Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that
are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the 

 

118

 

Platform
and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the
Borrowers or their securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities
laws.

 

(e)           Reliance by Administrative Agent,
L/C Issuer and Lenders.  The Administrative Agent, the L/C
Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices
(including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices)
purportedly given by or on behalf of either Borrower even if (i) such
notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not
preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the
terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation
thereof.  Each Borrower (jointly and
severally) shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, each
Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses
and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice
purportedly given by or on behalf of either Borrower.  All telephonic notices to and other
telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the
Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such
recording.

 

10.03       No
Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No
failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise,
and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power
or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges
herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative
and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by
law.

 

10.04       Expenses;

and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with
the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation,
negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the
provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment
thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the

119

 

(b)           Indemnification by the Borrowers.  The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and
the L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each
such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each
Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who
may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted
against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrowers or any other Loan
Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the
parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the
case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related
Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of
the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a
demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in
connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of
Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by either
Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Environmental
Liability related in any way to either Borrower or any of their respective
Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by
either Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of either Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s
directors, shareholders or creditors,
and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by either Borrower or
any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such
Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such
Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in
its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(c)           Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that either Borrower for any
reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of
this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any
sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the
foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or
any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be,
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the
applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid
amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss,
claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred
by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the
L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the
foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C
Issuer in connection with such capacity. 
The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are
subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

 

120

 

(d)           Waiver of Consequential Damages,
Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, neither Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of
Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable
for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any
information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by
such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information
transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for
direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(e)           Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall
be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

 

(f)            Survival.  The agreements in this Section shall
survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate
Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other
Obligations.

 

10.05       Payments
Set Aside.  To the extent that any
payment by or on behalf of either Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent,
the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or
any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of
such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such
Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other
party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or
otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in
full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had
not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without
duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date
such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from
time to time in effect.  The obligations
of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding
sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

 

10.06       Successors
and Assigns.

 

(a)  Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Borrower may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its respective rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender
and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of 

 

121

 

Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or
assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f) (and
any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null
and void).  Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and,
to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b)           Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including
for purposes of this Section 10.06(b), participations in L/C
Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided
that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)            Minimum Amounts.

 

(A)          in the case of an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility
and the Loans at the time owing to it under such Facility or in the case of an
assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no
minimum amount need be assigned; and

 

(B)           in any
case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate
amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding
thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal
outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such
assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with
respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade
Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date,
shall not be less than $5,000,000, in
the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility,
or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Term Facility,
unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrower Agent otherwise consents (each such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however,
that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent
assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or
to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a
single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has
been met;

 

(ii)           Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment
of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned,
except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line
Lender’s rights and obligations in 

 

122

 

respect of Swing Line Loans
or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights
and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis;

 

(iii)          Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any
assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and,
in addition:

 

(A)   the consent of the Borrower Agent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment
or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund;

 

(B)   the consent of the Administrative Agent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for
assignments in respect of (1) any Revolving Credit Commitment if such
assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Credit
Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to
such Lender or (2) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

 

(C)   the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any
assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in
exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding);
and

 

(D)   the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any
assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

(iv)          Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together
with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided,
however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion,
elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any
assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a
Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire.

 

(v)           No Assignment to Either Borrower.  No such assignment shall be made to either of
the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

 

(vi)          No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural
person.

 

Subject to acceptance and
recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of
this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment
and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and,
to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have
the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender
shall cease to be a party 

 

123

 

hereto) but shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05
and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the
effective date of such assignment.  Upon
request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to
the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does
not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement
as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with Section 10.06(d).

 

(c)           Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for
this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from
time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(d)           Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the
consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrowers or
any of the Borrowers’ respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations
and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement. 
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or
instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in
the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such
Participant.  Subject to subsection (e) of
this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05  to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired
its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b).  To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08  as though it were a Lender, provided such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were
a Lender.

 

(e)           Limitations upon Participant
Rights.  A Participant shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04  than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to
receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the
sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower Agent’s
prior written consent.  A Participant
that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the

 

124

 

benefits
of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower Agent is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the
benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as
though it were a Lender.

 

(f)            Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender,
including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank;
provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or
assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

(g)           Electronic Execution of
Assignments.  The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be
deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic
form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based
recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in
any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records
Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act.

 

(h)           Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing
Line Lender after Assignment. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any
time Bank of America assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and
Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 10.06(b), Bank of
America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower Agent and the
Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the
Borrower Agent, resign as Swing Line Lender. 
In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender,
the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor
L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however,
that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the
resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case
may be.  If Bank of America resigns as
L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as
of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations
with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base
Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).  If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line
Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for
hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the
effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders
to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line
Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). 
Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender,
(a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue
letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any,
outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements
satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank
of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 

10.07       Treatment
of Certain Information; Confidentiality. 
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees
to maintain the confidentiality of 

 

125

 

the Information (as
defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its
Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors,
officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood
that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority
purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory
authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to
the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection
with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or
any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an
agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this
Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this or (ii) any
actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative
transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, (g) with the
consent of the Borrowers, (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of
their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than
the Borrowers or (i) subject to each such Person being informed of the
confidential nature of the Information and to their agreement to keep such
Information confidential on substantially the same terms as required by this
Section, to (A) an investor or prospective investor in securities issued
by an Approved Fund that also agrees that the Information shall be used solely
for the purpose of evaluating an investment in such securities issued by the
Approved Fund, (B) a trustee, collateral manager, servicer, backup
servicer, noteholder or secured party in securities issued by an Approved Fund
in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on the assets
serving as collateral for securities issued by an Approved Fund, or (C) a
nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information
regarding the Loan Parties, the Loans and Loan Documents in connection with
rating issued in respect of securities issued by an Approved Fund.

 

For purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof
relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis
prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof, provided
that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any such
Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the
time of delivery as confidential.  Any
Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in
this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to
do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information.

 

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material
non-public information concerning the Borrowers or a Subsidiary, as the case
may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of
material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material
non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United
States Federal and state securities Laws.

 

126

 

10.08       Right
of Setoff.  If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of
their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to
time, after obtaining the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held
and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender,
the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of
either Borrower  against any and all of
the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the
Borrowers may be contingent or
unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer
different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such
indebtedness.  The rights of each Lender,
the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that
such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to
notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such
setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.08,
if at any time any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates
maintains one or more deposit accounts for either Borrower or any other Loan
Party into which Medicare and/or Medicaid receivables are deposited, such
Person shall waive the right of setoff set forth herein.

 

10.09       Interest
Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or
agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of
non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender
shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess
interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such
unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. 
In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received
by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person
may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any
payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than
interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize,
prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of
interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

10.10       Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness.  This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral
or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.01,
this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement.

 

127

 

10.11       Survival
of Representations and Warranties. 
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan
Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in
connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery
hereof and thereof.  Such representations
and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and
each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time
of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as
any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied
or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

 

10.12       Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the
legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired
thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to
replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions
the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The
invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

10.13       Replacement
of Lenders.  If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required
to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for
the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice
to such Lender and the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject
to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06),
all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which
assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided
that:

 

(a)   the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the
assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

 

(b)   such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

 

(c)   in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a
reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

 

(d)   such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

 

128

 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such
Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply.

10.16       California
Judicial Reference.

 

If any action or proceeding is filed in a court of the
State of California by or against any party hereto in connection with any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (a) the
court shall, and is hereby directed to, make a general reference pursuant to
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 to a referee (who shall be
a single active or retired judge) to hear and determine all of the issues in
such action or proceeding (whether of fact or of law) and to report a statement
of decision, provided that at the option of any party to such proceeding, any
such issues pertaining to a “provisional remedy” as defined in California Code
of Civil Procedure Section 1281.8 shall be heard and determined by the
court, and (b) without limiting the generality of Section 10.04, the
Borrowers shall be solely responsible to pay all fees and expenses of any
referee appointed in such action or proceeding.

 

10.17       No Advisory or Fiduciary
Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of each
transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment,
waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each
Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and
acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the
arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the
Administrative Agent and the
Arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between each Borrower and their respective Affiliates, on the
one hand, and the Administrative Agent and
the Arranger, on the other hand, (B) each of the Borrowers has consulted its own legal, accounting,
regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each
of the Borrowers is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the
terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the
other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger each is and has been
acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the
relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor,
agent or fiduciary for either Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither
the Administrative Agent nor the
Arranger has any obligation to either Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the
Administrative Agent and the
Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of
transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and
their respective Affiliates, and
neither the 

 

130

 

Administrative
Agent nor the Arranger has any
obligation to disclose any of such interests to either Borrower or any of their
respective Affiliates.  To the fullest
extent permitted by law, each of the
Borrowers hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the
Administrative Agent and the
Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary
duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

 

10.18       USA

(for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that
pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L.
107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan

ARTICLE

THE
COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

 

2.01         The
Term Loans.  Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a single
loan to the Borrowers on the Closing Date in an amount  not to exceed such Lender’s Term
Commitment.  The  Borrowing shall consist of Term Loans made
simultaneously by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Term
Commitments.  Amounts borrowed under this
Section 2.01 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

 

2.02         Borrowing;
Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

 

(a)  Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or
Eurodollar Rate Loans as further provided herein.  The Borrowing on the Closing Date, each
conversion of Term Loans from one Type to the other and each continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower Agent’s irrevocable
notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone.  Each such notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business
Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate
Loans to Base Rate Loans and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing
of Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that if the Borrower Agent
wishes to request Eurodollar Rate Loans having an Interest Period other than
one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest
Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m. four Business Days prior to the requested date of
such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent
shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request and determine whether
the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them.  Not
later than 11:00 a.m., three Business Days before the requested date of
such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower Agent (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the
requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders.  Each telephonic notice by the Borrower Agent
pursuant to this Section 2.02(a)

 

27

 

must be confirmed
promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan
Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower Agent.  Each conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Each conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be
in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof.  Each Committed Loan Notice  (whether telephonic or written) shall specify
(i) whether the Borrowers are requesting a conversion of Term Loans from
one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the
requested date of the conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which
shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Term Loans to be
converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Term Loans to be borrowed or to
which existing Term Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the
duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto.  If the Borrower Agent fails to specify a Type
of Term Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower Agent fails to give
a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable
Term Loans shall be converted to Base Rate Loans.  Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate
Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in
effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans.  If the Borrower Agent requests a Borrowing
of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such
Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, the Borrowers
will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

 

(b)           Following
receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the Term
Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by
the Borrower Agent, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the
details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(a).  In the case of the Term Loans to be made on
the Closing Date, each Lender shall make the amount of its Term Loan available
to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Closing
Date.   Upon satisfaction of the
applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.01, the Administrative
Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrowers in like funds
as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the
account of the Borrowers on the books of Bank of America with the amount of
such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds in accordance with
instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative
Agent by the Borrower Agent.

 

(c)           Except
as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or
converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate
Loan.  During the existence of a Default,
no Term Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without
the consent of the Required Lenders.

 

(d)           The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders
of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate
Loans upon determination of such interest rate. 
At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders of any change in Bank of
America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the
public announcement of such change.

(e)           After
giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans from one Type to
the other, and all continuations of Term Loans as the same Type, there shall
not be more than 4 Interest Periods in effect.

Omitted.

Omitted.

 

2.05         Prepayments.

 

(a) 
Optional.

 

(i)            Generally.   Subject to (A) the prior payment in full
of the First Lien Obligations, (B) Section 2.05(a)(ii) and (C) the
last two sentences of this Section 2.05(a)(i), the Borrowers may,
upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time
voluntarily prepay the Term Loans in whole or in part; provided that (A) such
notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.
(1) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate
Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any
prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (C) any
prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a
whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the
entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.  Each such notice shall specify the date and
amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Term Loans to be prepaid and,
if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such
Term Loans.  The Administrative Agent
will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the
amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage).  If such
notice is given by the Borrower Agent, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment
and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the
date specified therein.  Any prepayment
of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the
amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.  Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied to the
outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans, and each such prepayment shall
be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable
Percentages.

 

(ii)           Prepayment Premiums.

 

(A)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, all prepayments of the Term Loan that are made in accordance with
this Section 2.05(a) prior to the second anniversary of the Closing
Date shall be subject to a prepayment premium equal to the present value, as
determined by Holdings and certified by a Responsible Officer of Holdings to
the Administrative Agent, of (1) all required interest payments due on
such Term Loans from the date of prepayment through and including the second
anniversary of the Closing Date (excluding accrued interest) (assuming that the
interest rate applicable to all such interest is the swap 

 

29

 

rate at the close of business on the third Business
Day prior to the date of such prepayment with the termination date nearest to
the second anniversary of the Closing Date plus the Applicable Rate for
Eurodollar Rate Loans) plus (2) the prepayment premium that would be due
pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(ii)(B) if such prepayment were
made on the day after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, in each case
discounted to the date of prepayment on a quarterly basis (assuming a 360-day
year and actual days elapsed) at a rate equal to the sum of such swap rate plus
0.50%.

 

(B)           Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, all prepayments of the Term Loan that are made in accordance with
this Section 2.05(a) prior to (1) the third anniversary
of the Closing Date, but on or after the second anniversary of the Closing
Date, shall be subject to an additional premium equal to the amount of such
prepayment multiplied by 3%, with respect to each such prepayment made prior to
the third anniversary of the Closing Date, (2) the fourth anniversary of
the Closing Date but on or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date
shall be subject to an additional premium equal to the amount of such
prepayment multiplied by 2%; and (3) the fifth anniversary of the Closing
Date but on or after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date shall be
subject to an additional premium equal to the amount of such prepayment
multiplied by 1%.  On or after the fifth  anniversary of the Closing Date, no premiums or penalties
shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(ii) in
connection with any prepayments of the Term Loan.

 

(b)  Mandatory.  Subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement and subject to the prior payment in full of (1) the
First Lien Term Loan and (2) the First Lien Revolving Loans (but not
including the permanent reduction of the First Lien Revolving Credit
Commitment), in each case as provided in Section 2.05 of the First
Lien Credit Agreement (or the waiver of such payment in accordance with Section 10.01
of the First Lien Credit Agreement), the Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loans
pursuant to, and in accordance with, clauses (i) through (iv) below.  For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood
and agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be required or permitted to prepay the Term
Loans hereunder as a result of any incurrence of Indebtedness, any Asset Disposition,
any Extraordinary Receipt or any Excess Cash Flow if the First Lien Term Loan
or the First Lien Revolving Loans (but not the First Lien Revolving Credit
Commitment) remain outstanding.

 

(i)            Subject to the first two sentences
of this subsection (b), within five Business Days after financial statements
have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the
related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(b),
the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to
the excess (if any) of (A) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year
covered by such financial statements over (B) the aggregate principal
amount of Term Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) (such
prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below).

 

(ii)           Subject to the first two sentences of this subsection (b),
if any Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries Disposes of any property (other than any Disposition
of any 

 

30

 

property permitted by Sections 7.05(b),
(c), (d) or (e)) which results in the realization by
such Person of Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate
principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds
immediately upon receipt thereof by such Person (such prepayments to be applied
as set forth in clause (v) below); provided, however, that,
with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized under a Disposition described in
this Section 2.05(b)(ii), at the election of the Borrowers (as notified
by the Borrower Agent to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of
such Disposition), and so long as no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Borrowers or such Subsidiary may reinvest all or any portion of
such Net Cash Proceeds in operating assets so long as within 270 days after the
receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, such purchase shall have been consummated
(as certified by the Borrowers in writing to the Administrative Agent); and provided
further, however, that any Net Cash Proceeds not subject to such
definitive agreement or so reinvested shall be immediately applied to the
prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05(b)(ii).

 

(iii)          Subject to the first two sentences of this subsection (b),
upon the incurrence or issuance by either Borrower  or any
of their respective Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness
expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.02),
the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to
100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt
thereof by either Borrower or
such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below).

 

(iv)          Subject to the first two sentences of this subsection (b),
upon any Extraordinary Receipt received by or paid to or for the account of
either Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, and not otherwise included in
clause (ii) or (iii) of this Section 2.05(b), the
Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 50%
of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by
such Borrower or
such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below); provided, however, that
with respect to any proceeds of insurance, condemnation awards (or payments in
lieu thereof) or indemnity payments, at the election of the applicable Borrower
(as notified by the Borrower Agent to the Administrative Agent on or prior to
the date of receipt of such insurance proceeds, condemnation awards or
indemnity payments), and so long as no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the applicable Borrower or such Subsidiary may apply within 270
days after the receipt of such cash proceeds to replace or repair the
equipment, fixed assets or real property in respect of which such cash proceeds
were received; and provided, further, however, that any
cash proceeds not so applied shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of
the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05(b)(iv).

 

(v)           Each prepayment of Term Loans
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(b) shall
be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans; provided
that each Lender having outstanding Term Loans may elect to decline its
Applicable Percentage of any mandatory prepayment by notifying the
Administrative Agent within three days of receipt of the notice of such
prepayment. All mandatory prepayments declined in accordance with the foregoing
shall be re-offered to those Lenders under this Agreement who have initially
accepted such prepayment (such re-

 

31

 

offer to be made to each such
Lender based on the percentage which such Lender’s Term Loans represents of the
aggregate Term Loans of all such Lenders who have initially accepted such
prepayment).  In the event of such a
re-offer, the relevant Lenders may elect to decline, by notice to the
Administrative Agent within two days of such re-offering, all of the amount of
such prepayment that is re-offered to them, in which case the aggregate amount
of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay such Loans pursuant to
such re-offer but was so declined shall be returned to the Borrowers.  Any Lender that does not promptly notify the
Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing that it is declining a
mandatory prepayment shall automatically be deemed to have accepted such
prepayment and any re-offer in respect thereof.

 

2.06         
Reduction of Term Commitments.  The
Term Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the
date of the Borrowing.

 

2.07         Repayment
of the Term Loans.  The Borrowers,
jointly and severally, shall repay to the Lenders the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Term Loans on the Maturity Date (or on such earlier
date on which the Term Loans become due and payable pursuant to Article VIII).

 

2.08         Interest.

 

(a)           Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate
Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each
Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate
Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the
applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus
the Applicable Rate.

 

(b)           (i) 
If any amount of principal of any Term Loan is not paid when due (without
regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

(ii)           If any amount (other than principal of any Term Loan)
payable by either Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due
(without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders
such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per
annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws.

 

(iii)          Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event
of Default exists, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of
all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum
at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws.

 

(iv)          Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including
interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

 

32

 

(c)           Interest
on each Term Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified
herein.  Interest hereunder shall be due
and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and
before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief
Law.

 

2.09         Fees  The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall
pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective
accounts and for the accounts of the Lenders, fees in the amounts and at the
times specified in the Fee Letter (without duplication of any fees payable
pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement). 
Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable
for any reason whatsoever.

 

2.10         Computation
of Interest and Fees; Retroactive
Adjustments of Applicable Rate.

 

(a)  All
computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined
by Bank of America’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365
or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest
shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which
results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on
the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest
shall accrue on each Term Loan for the day on which the Term Loan is made, and
shall not accrue on a Term Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which
the Term Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Term Loan that
is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a),
bear interest for one day.  Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

(b)           If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment
to the financial statements of Holdings or for any other reason, either
Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio
as calculated by the Borrowers as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a
proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in
higher pricing for such period, the Borrowers shall immediately and
retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or,
after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with
respect to either Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States,
automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that
should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees
actually paid for such period.  This
paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
as the case may be, under Section 2.08(b) or under Article VIII.  The Borrowers’ obligations under this
paragraph shall survive the repayment of all Obligations hereunder.

 

2.11         Evidence
of Debt.  The Term Loans made by each
Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such
Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error
of the amount of the Term Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the
interest and payments 

 

33

 

thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in
doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the
Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the
Obligations.  In the event of any
conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters,
the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error.  Upon the
request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers
shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a
Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Term Loans in addition to such
accounts or records.  Each Lender may
attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if
applicable), amount and maturity of its Term Loans and payments with respect
thereto.

 

2.12         Payments
Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

 

(a)           General.  All payments to be made by either Borrower
shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all payments by either Borrower hereunder shall be
made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders at the
Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not
later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.  The Administrative Agent will promptly
distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share
as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer
to such Lender’s Lending Office.  All
payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be
deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest
or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any
payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a
Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and
such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the
case may be.

 

(b)           Presumptions
by Administrative Agent.

 

(i)            Funding by Lenders; Presumption
by Administrative Agent.  Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such
Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent
such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that
such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02
(or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made
such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02)
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a
corresponding amount.  In such event, if
a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available
to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender on the one hand and the
Borrowers on the other severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds
with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
made available to either Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such
Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank 

 

34

 

compensation, plus any
administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case
of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base
Rate Loans.  If the Borrowers and such
Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an
overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the
Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the
applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender’s Term Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without
prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have
failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

 

(ii)           Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative
Agent.  Unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the time at which
any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders
hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative
Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in
accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to
the Lenders the amount due.  In such
event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the
Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds
with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation.

 

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or
the Borrower Agent with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall
be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(c)           Failure
to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If
any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Term Loan
to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II,
and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative
Agent because the conditions to the Term Loans set forth in Article IV
are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from
such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

 

(d)           Obligations
of Lenders Several.  The obligations
of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and to make payments pursuant to  Section 10.04(c) are
several and not joint.  The failure of
any Lender to make any Term Loan on the Closing Date or to make any payment
under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall
not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such
date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to
so make its Term Loan or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

 

(e)           Funding
Source.  Nothing herein shall be
deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Term Loan in any
particular place or manner or to constitute a 

 

35

 

representation by
any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Term Loan in
any particular place or manner.

 

(f)            Insufficient
Funds.  If at any time insufficient
funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully
all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds
shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees
then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance
with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second,
toward payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled
thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

 

2.13         Sharing
of Payments by Lenders.  If any
Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations due and payable to such
Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of
its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such
Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the
aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the
Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations
owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and
payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the
Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations
owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time then
the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face
value) participations in the Term Loans of the other Lenders, or make such
other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the
aggregate amount of Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or owing
(but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided
that:

 

(i)            if any such participations are
purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered,
such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, without interest; and

 

(ii)           the provisions of this Section shall
not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrowers
pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of
a participation in any of its Term Loans, other than to the Borrowers or any
Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall
apply).

 

Each Borrower
consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the
foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim 

 

36

 

with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such
participation.

 

2.14         Obligations Joint and Several.

 

(a)                           Nature
of Obligations.  Each of the
Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for the Obligations, however
incurred.  References to the Borrowers
with respect to the Obligations or any portion thereof shall mean each Borrower
on a joint and several basis.

 

(b)                           Bankruptcy
Limitations.   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, it is the intention of
each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that, in any proceeding
involving the bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debts,
relief of debtors, dissolution or insolvency or any similar proceeding with
respect to any Borrower or its assets, the amount of such Borrower’s
obligations with respect to the Obligations shall be equal to, but not in
excess of, the maximum amount thereof not subject to avoidance or recovery by
operation of Applicable Insolvency Laws (as defined below) after giving effect
to Section 2.14(c).   To that end, but only in the event and to the
extent that after giving effect to Section 2.14(c), such Borrower’s
obligations with respect to the Obligations or any payment made pursuant to
such Obligations would, but for the operation of the first sentence of this Section 2.14(b),
be subject to avoidance or recovery in any such proceeding under Applicable
Insolvency Laws after giving effect to Section 2.14(c), the amount
of such Borrower’s obligations with respect to the Obligations shall be limited
to the largest amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not, under
Applicable Insolvency Laws, render such Borrower’s obligations with respect to
the Obligations unenforceable or avoidable or otherwise subject to recovery
under Applicable Insolvency Laws.  To the
extent any payment actually made pursuant to the Obligations exceeds the
limitation of the first sentence of this Section 2.14(b) and
is otherwise subject to avoidance and recovery in any such proceeding under
Applicable Insolvency Laws, the amount subject to avoidance shall in all events
be limited to the amount by which such actual payment exceeds such limitation
and the Obligations as limited by the first sentence of this Section 2.14(b) shall
in all events remain in full force and effect and be fully enforceable against
such Borrower.   The first sentence of this Section 2.14(b) is
intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders hereunder against such Borrower in such proceeding to the maximum
extent permitted by Applicable Insolvency Laws and neither such Borrower nor
any other Person shall have any right or claim under such sentence that would
not otherwise be available under Applicable Insolvency Laws in such
proceeding.  For the purposes of this Section 2.14(b),
“Applicable Insolvency Laws” means
all applicable laws governing bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment of debts, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency, fraudulent
transfers or conveyances or other similar laws, whether foreign or domestic
(including, without limitation, 11 U.S.C. Sections 544, 547, 548 and 550
and other “avoidance” provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code, as
amended or supplemented).

 

(c)           Agreement
for Contribution.  The Borrowers
hereby agree among themselves that, if either Borrower shall make an Excess
Payment (as defined below), such Borrower shall have a right of contribution
from the other Borrower in an amount equal to such other Borrower’s
Contribution Share (as defined below) of such Excess Payment.  The payment obligations of any Borrower under
this Section 2.14(c) shall be subordinate and subject in right

 

37

 

of payment to the Obligations until such time
as the Obligations have been paid in full, and neither Borrower shall exercise
any right or remedy under this Section 2.14(c) against the
other Borrower until such Obligations have been paid in full.  For purposes of this Section 2.14(c),
(i) “Excess Payment” shall mean the amount paid by any Borrower in excess
of its Ratable Share of any Obligations; (ii) “Ratable Share” shall mean,
for any Borrower in respect of any payment of Obligations, the ratio (expressed
as a percentage) as of the date of such payment of Obligations of (A) the
amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets
and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Borrower
(including probable contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated
liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Borrower hereunder) to (B) the
amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and
other properties of all of the Borrowers exceeds the amount of all of the debts
and liabilities (including probable contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and
unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrowers
hereunder) of the Borrowers; provided, however, that, for purposes of
calculating the Ratable Shares of the Borrowers in respect of any payment of
Obligations, any Borrower that became a Borrower subsequent to the date of any
such payment shall be deemed to have been a Borrower on the date of such
payment and the financial information for such Borrower as of the date such
Borrower became a Borrower shall be utilized for such Borrower in connection
with such payment; and (iii) “Contribution Share” shall mean, for any
Borrower in respect of any Excess Payment made by any other Borrower, the ratio
(expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such Excess Payment of (A) the
amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets
and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Borrower
(including probable contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated
liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Borrower hereunder) to (B) the
amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and
other properties of the Borrower other than the maker of such Excess Payment
exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including probable
contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but
excluding the obligations of the Borrowers) of the Borrower other than the
maker of such Excess Payment.  Each
Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising
hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such
contribution.  No Borrower shall have any
right of subrogation, indemnity or reimbursement under applicable law in
respect of any payment of Obligations (other than the contribution rights set
forth in this Section 2.14(c)) against any other Borrower.  No Person other than a Lender or a Borrower
may rely on the provisions of this Section 2.14(c).

2.15         PMG as Borrower Agent.  Holdings hereby irrevocably appoints and
authorizes PMG, and PMG hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act, as
the Borrower Agent (a) to provide the Administrative Agent with all
notices with respect to the Borrowings obtained for the benefit of the
Borrowers and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement, (b) to

appropriate on its behalf to obtain Borrowings and to exercise such other powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this
Agreement and (c) to act as its agent for service of process and notices
required to be delivered under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, it
being understood and agreed that receipt by the Borrower Agent of any summons,
notice or other similar item shall be deemed effective receipt by the Borrowers
and their Subsidiaries.

 

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

 

3.01         Taxes.

 

(a)  Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of the Borrowers
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and
without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided
that if either Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any
Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the
sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be,
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the
Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(b)           Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers.  Without limiting
the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any
Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.

 

(c)           Indemnification by the Borrowers.  The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within
10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on
or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Agent by a Lender (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf
or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)           Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by either Borrower to a Governmental
Authority, the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
the original or a certified copy of a 

 

39

 

receipt
issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the
return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(e)           Status of Lenders.  Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the
jurisdiction in which either Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any
treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Agent
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative
Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by
applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or
at a reduced rate of withholding.  In
addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative
Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent as will
enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such
Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if
either Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign
Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent (in
such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to
the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower Agent or the
Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do
so), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(i)            duly completed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of
an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

 

(ii)           duly completed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

 

(iii)          in the case of a Foreign
Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate to the effect that such
Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of
the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of either Borrower within the
meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) duly
completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

 

(iv)          any other form prescribed by
applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United
States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers to
determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

 

(f)            Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender
determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes
or Other Taxes as to

 

40

 

which
it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers
have
paid additional amounts pursuant
to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund
(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid,
by the Borrowers under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other
Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund), provided that the Borrowers, upon the request
of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over
to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed
by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such
Lender if the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. 
This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative
Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to either Borrower or any
other Person.

 

3.02         Illegality.  If any Lender
determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority
has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending
Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or
charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental
Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to
purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank
market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower Agent through
the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue
Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrower Agent shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate
Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest
Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not
lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the
Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or
converted.

 

3.03         Inability to Determine Rates. 
If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with
any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation
thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the
London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest
Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do
not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period
with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar
Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar
Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of
funding such Term Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the
Borrower Agent and each Lender. 
Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the
instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower
Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have
converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans in the amount specified therein.

 

41

 

3.04         Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

 

(a)  Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:

 

(i)            impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve
requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e));

 

(ii)           subject any Lender to any
tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar
Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such
Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered
by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate
of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or

 

(iii)          impose on any Lender or the
London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this
Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender;

 

and the result of any of
the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make
any such Eurodollar Rate Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount)
then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional
costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

(b)           Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in
Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the
capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Term Commitment of such Lender or the Term Loans made by such
Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such
Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with
respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to
such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered.

 

(c)           Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a
Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender
or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or
(b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower Agent shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.  The
Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 

(d)           Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to
demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall
not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided
that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section for any

 

42

 

increased
costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date
that such Lender notifies the Borrower Agent of the Change in Law giving rise
to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof).

 

(e)           Reserves on Eurodollar Rate
Loans.  The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as
long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to
liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits
(currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs
of such reserves allocated to such Term Loan by such Lender (as determined by
such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which
shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Term
Loan, provided the Borrower Agent shall have received at least 10 days’
prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional
interest from such Lender.  If a Lender
fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such
additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such
notice.

 

3.05         Compensation for Losses. 
Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from
time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold
such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result
of:

 

(a)   any continuation,
conversion, payment or prepayment of any Term Loan other than a Base Rate Loan
on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Term Loan
(whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or
otherwise);

 

(b)   any failure by either
Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Term
Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Term Loan other than a Base
Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower Agent; or

 

(c)   any assignment of a
Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
therefor as a result of a request by the Borrowers (through the Borrower Agent)
pursuant to Section 10.13;

 

including any loss
of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the
liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Term Loan
or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were
obtained. 
The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged
by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the
Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each
Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar
Rate for such Term Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the 

 

43

 

London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable
amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan
was in fact so funded.

 

3.06         Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of
Lenders.

 

(a)  Designation
of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 3.04, or either Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a
notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable
efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Term
Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of
its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable
pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the
future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02,
as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender.  Each Borrower hereby agrees to
pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with
any such designation or assignment.

 

(b)           Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04,
or if either Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01,
the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

 

3.07         Survival.  All of the
Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive the
repayment of all Obligations hereunder.

or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply
therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
There is no basis for (a) any Offsets asserted or threatened to be
asserted against any Loan Party by any Obligor (including but not limited to
amounts due to Medicare or the IRS), or (b) any overdue or delinquent
liabilities or Indebtedness which could give rise to a right of a federal
Governmental Authority or any other Person to offset or levy with respect to
such liabilities or Indebtedness against any accounts receivable of a Loan
Party or payments due thereon.  No
condition exists and no event has occurred which, in itself or with the giving
of notice or lapse of time or both, would result in the suspension, revocation,
impairment, forfeiture or non-renewal of any governmental consent or permit
applicable to any Loan Party or any facility owned or operated by it.

 

5.17         Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc.  Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries
own, or possess the right to use, all of the trademarks, service marks, trade
names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, franchises, licenses and other
intellectual property rights (collectively, “IP Rights”) that are
reasonably necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, without
conflict with the rights of any other Person. 
To the best knowledge of each Borrower, no slogan or other advertising
device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now
employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries infringes upon any rights held by any other Person.  No claim or litigation regarding any of the
foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of each Borrower, 

 

58

 

threatened, which, either
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.18         Solvency.  Each Loan Party is, individually and together
with its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, Solvent.

 

5.19         Casualty,
Etc.  Neither the businesses nor the
properties of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries are affected by any
fire, explosion, accident, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, drought,
storm, hail, earthquake, embargo, act of God or of the public enemy or other
casualty (whether or not covered by insurance) that, either individually or in
the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.20         Health Care Matters.

 

(a)           Compliance with Health Care Laws; Permits.  Without limiting the
generality of Section 5.16, each Loan Party and each of its
Subsidiaries, and any Person acting on their behalf, is in compliance in all
material respects with all Health Care Laws applicable to it, its products and
its properties or other assets or its business or operation, including its
provision of professional services.  Each
Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries, and any Person acting on their behalf,
has in effect all material Permits, including, without limitation, all material
Permits necessary for it to own, lease or operate its properties and other
assets and to carry on its business and operations, including its provision of
professional services, as presently conducted. 
All such material Permits are in full force and effect and there has
occurred no default under, or violation of, any such material Permit.  No action, demand, or investigation by any
Governmental Authority and no suit, action or proceeding by any other person,
in each case with respect to each Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries, any
Person acting on their behalf, or any of their respective properties, other
assets or provision of professional services under any requirements of Law, is
pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, threatened.

 

(b)           Filings. 
All reports,
documents, claims, notices or approvals required to be filed, obtained,
maintained or furnished to any Governmental Authority have been so filed,
obtained, maintained or furnished, and all such reports, documents, claims and
notices were complete and correct in all material respects on the date filed
(or were corrected in or supplemented by a subsequent filing).

 

(c)           Material Statements.  No Loan Party nor any of
its Subsidiaries, nor any officer, affiliate, employee or agent of any Loan
Party or any of its Subsidiaries, has made an untrue statement of a material
fact or fraudulent statement to any Governmental Authority, failed to disclose
a material fact required to any Governmental Authority, or committed an act,
made a statement, or failed to make a statement that, at the time such
disclosure was made, would reasonably be expected to constitute a violation of
any Health Care Law.  No Loan Party nor
any of its Subsidiaries, nor any officer, affiliate or employee of any Loan
Party, nor to any Loan Party’s knowledge, any agent of any Loan Party or any of
its Subsidiaries, has made any untrue statement of fact regarding claims
incurred but not reported.

 

59

 

(d)           Billing. 
Each Loan Party, each of its Subsidiaries and each
contracting physician of a Loan Party or Subsidiary (to the extent required)
has the requisite provider number or other Permit to bill the Medicare program
(to the extent such entity participates in the Medicare program), the
respective Medicaid program in the state or states in which such entity
operates, and all other Third Party Payor Programs, including but not limited
to Capitated Contracts with managed care organizations, that each Loan Party
and each of its Subsidiaries currently bill. 
There is no investigation, audit, claim review, or other action pending,
or to the knowledge of any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, threatened which
could result in a revocation, suspension, termination, probation, restriction,
limitation, or non-renewal of any Third Party Payor provider number or result
in any Loan Party’s or any Subsidiaries’ exclusion from any Third Party Payor
Program.  No Loan Party nor each of its
Subsidiaries has billed or received any payment or reimbursement in excess of
amounts allowed by any Health Care Law or other Law.

 

(e)           Proceedings.  There are no facts,
circumstances or conditions that would reasonably be expected to form the basis
for any material investigation, suit, claim, audit, action (legal or
regulatory) or proceeding (legal or regulatory) by a Governmental Authority
against or affecting any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any
of the Health Care Laws.

 

(f)            Prohibited Transactions.  Neither
the Loan Parties nor any Subsidiary nor any Person acting on behalf of the Loan
Parties or any Subsidiary is a party to any contract, lease agreement or other
arrangement (including any joint venture or consulting agreement) with any
physician, health care facility, hospital, nursing facility, home health agency
or other person who is in a position to make or influence referrals to or
otherwise generate business to provide services, lease space, lease equipment
or engage in any other venture or activity, other than agreements which are in
compliance with all applicable Health Care Laws.  Neither the Loan Parties nor any Subsidiary,
nor any person acting on behalf of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary, directly
or indirectly:  (1) offered, paid or
received any remuneration, in cash or in kind, to, or made any financial
arrangements with, any past, present or potential patient, supplier, medical
staff member, referral source, contractor or Third Party Payor of the Loan
Parties and/or any Subsidiary in order to illegally obtain or refer business or
receive payments from such person; (2) given, received or agreed to give
or receive, or is aware that there has been made or that there is any illegal

past, present or potential patient, supplier, contractor, Third Party Payor or
any other person; (3) made or agreed to make, or is aware that there has
been made or that there is  any agreement to make, any
contribution, payment or gift of funds or property to, or for the private use
of, any governmental official, employee or agent where either the contribution,
payment or gift or the purpose of such contribution, payment or gift is or was
illegal under the laws of any government entity having jurisdiction over such
payment, contribution or gift; (4) established or maintained any
unrecorded fund or asset for any purpose or made any misleading, false or
artificial entries on any of its books or records for any reason; or (5) made,
or agreed to make, or is aware that there has been made or that there is any
agreement to make, any payment to any person with the intention or understanding
that any part of such payment would be used or was given for any purpose other
than that described in the documents supporting such payment.

 

60

 

(g)           Medicare/Medicaid.  There are no Medicare or
Medicaid termination proceedings underway with respect to any  of the Loan Parties, each entity meets the
Medicare conditions of participation and no employee or independent contractor
to any of the Loan Parties has been excluded from participating in Medicare or Medicaid
or any similar federal programs.

 

(h)           Compliance. 
Each Loan Party possesses and implements all requisite
policies and procedures to ensure that all aspects of Loan Parties’ operations,
their employees, and all healthcare providers under contract with any Loan
Party,  comply with all applicable
Health Care Laws.

 

5.21         Labor Matters.   Except as set forth on Schedule 5.21,
there are no collective bargaining agreements or Multiemployer Plans covering
the employees of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date
and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has suffered any strikes, walkouts,
work stoppages or other material labor difficulty within the last five
years.

 

5.22         Collateral Documents.   The provisions of the Collateral Documents
are effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties a legal, valid and enforceable Second Priority Lien
(subject to Liens permitted by Section 7.01(a)-(i) and (k)-(l))
on all right, title and interest of the respective Loan Parties in the
Collateral described therein.  Except for
filings completed prior to the Closing Date and as contemplated hereby and by
the Collateral Documents, no filing or other action will be necessary to
perfect or protect such Liens.

an adverse determination under any criminal statute, or commencement or
threatened commencement of criminal or civil proceedings against a Loan Party
or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Loan Party, pursuant to which statute or
proceeding the penalties or remedies sought or available include forfeiture of (i) any
material portion of the Collateral, or (ii) any other assets of a Loan
Party that are necessary or material to the conduct of its business.

(b)     exercise on behalf of itself and the
Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an
actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to either Borrower
under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the unpaid principal amount of
all outstanding Term Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid

ARTICLE
IX

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

9.01         Appointment
and Authority.

 

(a)           Each
of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf
as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to
exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms
hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto.  The provisions of
this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders, and neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as
a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

 

(b)           The
Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” and/or “control agent” under the Loan
Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, potential
Hedge Bank and potential Cash Management Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for
purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral
granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together
with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In this connection, the Administrative Agent,
as “collateral agent” and/or “control agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05
for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion
thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights
and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be
entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X
(including Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents
and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” or “control agent” under the
Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

 

9.02         Rights
as a Lender.  The Person serving as
the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its
capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall,
unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires,
include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its
individual capacity.  Such Person and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial
advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind
of business with either Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof
as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any
duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

9.03         Exculpatory
Provisions.  The Administrative Agent
shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents. 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent:

 

(a)     shall not be subject to any fiduciary or
other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing;

 

(b)     shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents
that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by
the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as
shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided
that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any 

 

90

 

action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its
counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary
to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

 

(c)     shall not, except as expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall
not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the
Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or
obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity.

 

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of
the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as
shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith
shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01
and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct.  The Administrative
Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until
notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower Agent or a Lender.

 

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for
or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty
or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or
therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants,
agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or
priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the
value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than
to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.

 

91

 

9.04         Reliance
by Administrative Agent.  The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by
the proper Person.  The Administrative
Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon.  In
determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Term
Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the
contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Term Loan.  The Administrative Agent may consult with
legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants
and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken
or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel,
accountants or experts.

 

9.05         Delegation
of Duties.  The Administrative Agent
may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers
hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more
sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall
apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in
connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as
well as activities as Administrative Agent.

 

9.06         Resignation
of Administrative Agent.  The
Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the
Lenders and the Borrower Agent.  Upon
receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the
right, in consultation with the Borrower Agent, to appoint a successor, which
shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any
such bank with an office in the United States. 
If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the
retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided
that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent and the
Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such
resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice
and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral
security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of
the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold
such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is
appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations
provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be
made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders
appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the 

 

92

 

retiring (or retired)
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this
Section).  The fees payable by the
Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and
such successor.  After the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent,
its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative
Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

 

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

 

9.08         Intercreditor
Agreement.  Each of the Lenders
hereby acknowledges that it has received and reviewed the Intercreditor
Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof.  Each Lender (and each person that becomes a
Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 10.06) hereby (i) acknowledges
that Bank of America is acting under the Intercreditor Agreement in multiple
capacities as the Administrative Agent, the First Lien Administrative Agent and
the Control Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) and (ii) waives
any conflict of interest, now contemplated or arising hereafter, in connection
therewith and agrees not to assert against Bank of America any claims, cause of
action, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating
thereto.  Each Lender (and each Person
that becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 10.06) hereby
authorizes and directs Bank of America to enter into the Intercreditor
Agreement on behalf of such Lender and agrees that Bank of America, in its
various capacities thereunder, may take such actions on its behalf as is
contemplated by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time
during which the Administrative Agent hereunder is also the First Lien
Administrative Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Lenders holding 66 2/3rds percent of the aggregate
outstanding Loans (excluding, solely for purposes of this provision, the
Administrative Agent to the extent that it is also a Lender hereunder and any
Loans held by the Administrative Agent as a Lender hereunder) may, by
affirmative written consent, elect, in consultation with the Borrower Agent, to
remove the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and to appoint a
successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an
Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.

 

9.09         No
Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers or other
titled entities listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers,
duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent
or a Lender.

 

93

 

9.10         Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. 
In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or
any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative
Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan shall then be due
and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective
of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on either
Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding
or otherwise

 

(a)   to file and prove a claim for the whole
amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Term
Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such
other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders
and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all
other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections
2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

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

 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the
Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent
any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

 

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

 

9.11         Collateral
and Guaranty Matters.  The Lenders
irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent at its option and in its
discretion,

 

(a)   to release any Lien on any property granted
to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon
payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification
obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection
with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) 
if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.01;

 

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

 

(c)   to subordinate any Lien on any property
granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the
holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i).

 

94

 

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time,
the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s
authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items
of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the
Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11.  In each case as specified in this Section 9.11,
the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver
to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably
request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment
and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate
its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations
under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents and this Section 9.11.

pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided
that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II

STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR
OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER

any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any
kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of either Borrower’s
or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the
Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no
event shall any Agent Party have any liability to either
Borrower, any
Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

instructions for such Lender. 
Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual
at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private
Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of
the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in
accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law,
including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to
Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side
Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public
information with respect to the Borrowers or their securities for purposes of
United States Federal or state securities laws.

Committed Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of either Borrower
even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were
incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice
specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the
recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.  Each Borrower (jointly and severally) shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each
of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the

either Borrower.  All telephonic notices
to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be
recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby
consents to such recording.

Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No
failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by
any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder
or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, remedy, power or privilege. 
The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and
provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of
any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

(including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for
the Administrative Agent or any Lender), and shall pay
all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the 

 

98

 

enforcement or protection
of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection
with Term Loans made, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during
any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Term Loans.

 

(b)           Indemnification
by the Borrowers.  The Borrowers,
jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any
sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing
Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and
hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold
harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for
attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or
asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrowers or any
other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the
parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the
case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related
Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, (ii) any Term Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds
therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous
Materials on or from any property owned or operated by either Borrower or any
of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any
way to either Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or (iv) any
actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating
to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory,
whether brought by a third party or by either Borrower or any other Loan Party or
any of either Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or
creditors, and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that
such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by either Borrower or
any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such
Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such
Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in
its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(c)           Reimbursement
by Lenders.  To the extent that
either Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required
under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid
by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related
Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case
may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the
applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid
amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss,
claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred
by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its
capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting
for the Administrative Agent (or any such 

 

99

 

sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this
subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

 

(d)           Waiver
of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither Borrower shall assert,
and each Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any
theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
(as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or
as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above
shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients
of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients
by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information
transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for
direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(e)           Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall
be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

 

(f)            Survival.  The agreements in this Section shall
survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any
Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations.

 

10.05       Payments
Set Aside.  To the extent that any
payment by or on behalf of either Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent
or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of
setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under
any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery,
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been
made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees
to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without
duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date
such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from
time to time in effect.  The obligations
of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive
the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

10.06       Successors
and Assigns.

 

(a)  Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Borrower may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its respective rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender
and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its

 

100

 

rights or obligations
hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b),
(ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(d),
or (iii) by way of pledge
or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f) (and
any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null
and void).  Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and,
to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b)           Assignments
by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any
time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loans
at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be
subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)            Minimum Amounts.

 

(A)               in
the case of an assignment of the entire amount of the Term Loans at the time owing
to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or
an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

 

(B)                in
any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
principal outstanding balance of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of
the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless each of the
Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrower Agent otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that
concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent
assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or
to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a
single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has
been met;

 

(ii)           Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loans or the Term Commitment
assigned;

 

(iii)          Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any
assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and,
in addition:

 

(A)  the consent of the Borrower Agent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an
Event of 

 

101

 

Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of
such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund; and

 

(B)   the consent of the Administrative Agent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for
assignments in respect of any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

 

(iv)          Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together
with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided,
however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion,
elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any
assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a
Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire.

 

(v)           No Assignment to Either Borrower.  No such assignment shall be made to either of
the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

 

(vi)          No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural
person.

 

Subject to acceptance and
recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of
this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to
the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender
shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date
of such assignment.  Upon request, the
Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee
Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by
such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance
with Section 10.06(d).

 

(c)           Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for
this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Term Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Term Loans owing to, each
Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time
to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

102

 

(d)           Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the
consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrowers or
any of the Borrowers’ respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans
owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under
this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain
the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that
such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification
described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such
Participant.  Subject to subsection (e) of
this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05  to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired
its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b).  To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08  as though it were a Lender, provided such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were
a Lender.

 

(e)           Limitations
upon Participant Rights.  A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01
or 3.04  than the applicable Lender would
have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such
Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made
with the Borrower Agent’s prior written consent.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender
if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01
unless the Borrower Agent is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to
comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

 

(f)            Certain
Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time
pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under
this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such
Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release
such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such
pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

(g)           Electronic
Execution of Assignments.  The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and
Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of
records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect,
validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a
paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as
provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures
and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act.

 

103

 

10.07       Treatment
of Certain Information; Confidentiality. 
Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’
respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and
representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure
is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and
instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent
requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it
(including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other
party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this or (ii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating
to the Borrowers and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the
Borrowers, (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers or
(i) subject to each such Person being informed of the confidential nature
of the Information and to their agreement to keep such Information confidential
on substantially the same terms as required by this Section, to (A) an
investor or prospective investor in securities issued by an Approved Fund that
also agrees that the Information shall be used solely for the purpose of
evaluating an investment in such securities issued by the Approved Fund, (B) a
trustee, collateral manager, servicer, backup servicer, noteholder or secured
party in securities issued by an Approved Fund in connection with the
administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for
securities issued by an Approved Fund, or (C) a nationally recognized rating
agency that requires access to information regarding the Loan Parties, the
Loans and Loan Documents in connection with rating issued in respect of
securities issued by an Approved Fund.

 

For purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof
relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof, provided that,
in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any such Subsidiary
after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of
delivery as confidential.  Any Person
required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall
be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public
information concerning the Borrowers or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it
has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in
accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state
securities Laws.

 

104

 

10.08       Right
of Setoff.  If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other
obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such
Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of either Borrower  against any and all of the obligations of such
Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have
made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although
such obligations of the Borrowers may
be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender
different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such
indebtedness.  The rights of each Lender
and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates
may have.  Each Lender agrees to notify
the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and
application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such setoff and application. 
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.08, if at
any time any Lender or any of its Affiliates maintains one or more deposit
accounts for either Borrower or any other Loan Party into which Medicare and/or
Medicaid receivables are deposited, such Person shall waive the right of setoff
set forth herein.

 

10.09       Interest
Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or
agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of
non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender
shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess
interest shall be applied to the principal of the Term Loans or, if it exceeds
such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers.  In determining whether the interest
contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender
exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an
expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary
prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate,
and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout
the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

10.10       Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness.  This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral
or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.01,
this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement.

 

105

 

10.11       Survival
of Representations and Warranties. 
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan
Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in
connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery
hereof and thereof.  Such representations
and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and
each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time
of Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Term
Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid.

 

10.12       Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the
legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired
thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to
replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions
the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The
invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

10.13       Replacement
of Lenders.  If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required
to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for
the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice
to such Lender and the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject
to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06),
all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which
assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided
that:

 

(a)   the Borrowers shall have paid to the
Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

 

(b)   such Lender shall have received payment of an
amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term Loans, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05)
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

 

(c)   in the case of any such assignment resulting
from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments
required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will
result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

 

(d)   such assignment does not conflict with
applicable Laws.

 

106

 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such
Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 

10.14       Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.  (a)  GOVERNING
LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

(b)           SUBMISSION
TO JURISDICTION.  EACH BORROWER
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE
NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK SITTING IN
BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN

DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN
RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN
SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.  EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON
THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY
LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST EITHER BORROWER OR ITS
PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

 

(c)           WAIVER
OF VENUE.  EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF
ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS
SECTION.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

 

(d)           SERVICE
OF PROCESS.  EACH PARTY HERETO
IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES
IN SECTION 10.02.  NOTHING IN
THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN
ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

 

107

 

10.15       Waiver
of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY HERETO
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY

DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON
CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH
PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF
ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER
PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN
INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 

10.16       California
Judicial Reference.

 

If any action or proceeding is filed in a court of the
State of California by or against any party hereto in connection with any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (a) the
court shall, and is hereby directed to, make a general reference pursuant to
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 to a referee (who shall be
a single active or retired judge) to hear and determine all of the issues in
such action or proceeding (whether of fact or of law) and to report a statement
of decision, provided that at the option of any party to such proceeding, any
such issues pertaining to a “provisional remedy” as defined in California Code
of Civil Procedure Section 1281.8 shall be heard and determined by the
court, and (b) without limiting the generality of Section 10.04, the
Borrowers shall be solely responsible to pay all fees and expenses of any
referee appointed in such action or proceeding.

 

10.17       No Advisory or Fiduciary
Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of each
transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment,
waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each
Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and
acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the
arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the
Administrative Agent and the
Arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between each Borrower and their respective Affiliates, on the
one hand, and the Administrative Agent and
the Arranger, on the other hand, (B) each of the Borrowers has consulted its own legal, accounting,
regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each
of the Borrowers is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the
terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the
other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger each is and has been
acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the
relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor,
agent or fiduciary for either Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither
the Administrative Agent nor the
Arranger has any obligation to either Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the
Administrative Agent and the
Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of
transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and
their respective Affiliates, and
neither the 

 

108

 

Administrative
Agent nor the Arranger has any
obligation to disclose any of such interests to either Borrower or any of their
respective Affiliates.  To the fullest
extent permitted by law, each of the
Borrowers hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the
Administrative Agent and the
Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary
duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

 

10.18       USA
PATRIOT Act Notice.  Each Lender that
is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent
(for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that
pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L.
107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan
Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and
other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

 

10.19       Intercreditor
Agreement.  Until the Discharge of
the First Lien Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement),
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest
granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document and the
exercise of any right or remedy in respect of the Collateral by the
Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to
the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. 
In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control with respect to any right or
remedy.  Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all
rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent (and the Secured Parties) shall
be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all rights and
remedies with respect to the Collateral of the Administrative Agent (and the
Secured Parties) shall be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement,
and until the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor
Agreement), (i) no Loan Party shall be required hereunder or under any
other Loan Document to take any action with respect to the Collateral that is
inconsistent with such Loan Parties’ obligations under the First Lien Loan
Documents and (ii) any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any
other Loan Document with respect to the delivery or control of any Collateral,
the novation of any lien on any certificate of title, bill of lading or other
document, the giving of any notice to any bailee or other Person, the provision
of voting rights or the obtaining of any consent of any Person, shall be deemed
to be satisfied if the Loan Party complies with the requirements of the similar
provision of the applicable First Lien Loan Document.  Until the Discharge of the First Lien
Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the Administrative
Agent may not require any Loan Party to take any action with respect to the
creation, perfection or priority of its security interest, whether pursuant to
the express terms hereof or of any other Loan Document or pursuant to the
further assurances provisions hereof or any other Loan Document, to the extent
the First Lien Administrative Agent under the First Lien Loan Documents shall
have required such Loan Party to take similar action, and delivery of any
Collateral to the First Lien Administrative Agent pursuant to the First Lien
Loan Documents shall satisfy any delivery requirement hereunder or under any
other Loan Document.
