    1.03 Accounting
      Terms.

     

    (a) Generally.
      All
      accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be
      construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios
      and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this
      Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent
      basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a manner consistent with
      that
      used in preparing the Audited Financial Statements, except
      as
      otherwise specifically prescribed herein.

     

    (b) Changes
      in GAAP.
      If at
      any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio
      or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the
      Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and
      the
      Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to
      preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject
      to
      the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that,
      until
      so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in
      accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower
      shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements
      and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested
      hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio
      or
      requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in
      GAAP.

     

    1.04 Rounding.
      Any
      financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this
      Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the
      other
      component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places
      by
      which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to
      the
      nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

     

    1.05 Times
      of Day.
      Unless
      otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references
      to Central time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

    THE
      COMMITMENTS AND TERM LOANS

     

    2.01 Term
      Loans.
      Subject
      to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees
      to
      make a single term loan (each such term loan, a "Term
      Loan")
      to the
      Borrower on the Closing Date in the amount of its Term Commitment. Term Loans
      may be repaid but may not thereafter be reborrowed. Term Loans may be Base
      Rate
      Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -23-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    2.02 Term
      Borrowing, Conversions and Continuations of Term Loans.

     

    (a) The
      Term
      Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and each
      continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower'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
      Term Borrowing of, any 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 Term Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each
      telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a)
      must be
      confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Term
      Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of
      the
      Borrower. 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
      $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Term Loan
      Notice (whether telephonic or written), shall specify (i) whether the
      Borrower is requesting the Term Borrowing, a conversion of Term Loans from
      one
      Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the
      requested date of the Term Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case
      may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of the
      Term Loans to be borrowed, 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 fails to specify a Type of Term Loan in a Term Loan
      Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion
      or continuation, then the applicable Term Loans shall be made as, or 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 requests a Term
      Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any
      such Term Loan Notice but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed
      to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

     

    (b) Following
      receipt of a Term 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,
      the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any
      automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection.
      In the case of the Term Borrowing, 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 Business Day specified in the Term Loan
      Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.01,
      the
      Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower
      in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by
      (i) crediting the account of the Borrower 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.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -24-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (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 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 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 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 the Term Borrowing, 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 five Interest Periods in effect with respect to Term
      Loans.

     

    2.03 Prepayments.

     

    (a) Voluntary
      Prepayments - Term Loans.
      The
      Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from
      time
      to time voluntarily prepay Term Loans in whole or in part without premium or
      penalty; provided
      that
      (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than
      11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of
      Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans;
      (ii) 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
      (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
      $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 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 Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify
      each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such
      Lender's
      Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the
      Borrower, the Borrower 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
      such prepayment shall be (i) applied to the unpaid principal installments
      thereof in inverse order of maturity and (ii) paid to the Lenders in
      accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

     

    (b) Mandatory
      Prepayments – Additional Senior Notes.
      Upon
      the issuance of any Additional Senior Notes, the Borrower shall make a mandatory
      prepayment of the Term Loans to the Administrative Agent for the Lenders in
      the
      aggregate amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance.

     

    (c) Mandatory
      Prepayments - Asset Dispositions.
      Upon
      the Disposition, in any single transaction or series of related transactions,
      of
      property of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries with a fair market value of
      $2,000,000 or more, other than Dispositions permitted by clauses (a)
      through (f) of Section 7.05,
      the
      Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans to the
      Administrative Agent for the Lenders in the aggregate amount equal to the Net
      Cash Proceeds of such Disposition.

      or

    2.05 Interest.

     

    (a) Subject
      to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (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 lesser of (x) the Highest
      Lawful Rate and (y) 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 lesser of (x) the Highest Lawful Rate and
      (y) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus
      the
      Applicable Rate.

     

    (b) (1) 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 lesser of (x) the Highest Lawful
      Rate and (y) the Default Rate, to the fullest extent permitted by
      applicable Laws.

     

    (ii) If
      any
      amount (other than principal of any Term Loan) payable by the 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,
      to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law at a fluctuating interest
      rate
      per annum at all times equal to the lesser of (x) the Highest Lawful Rate
      and (y) 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 Borrower
      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 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.

     

    2.06 Fees. 

     

    (a) The
      Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own
      respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee
      Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable
      for any reason whatsoever.

     

    (b) 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.

    2.07 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. Subject to Section 10.09,
      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 2.09(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
      the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine
      that
      (i) the Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable
      date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio
      would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall
      immediately 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 the 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 2.05(b)
      or under
Article VIII.
      The
      Borrower's obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of
      the
      Aggregate Term Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations
      hereunder.

     

    2.08 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 Borrower 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 Borrower 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 Borrower
      shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent)
      a
      Term Loan Note which shall evidence such Lender's Term Loan in addition to
      such
      accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Term Loan Note
      and
      endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its
      Term
      Loan and payments with respect thereto.

    2.09 Payments
      Generally; Administrative Agent's Clawback.

     

    (a) General.
      All
      payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction
      for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise
      expressly provided herein, all payments by the 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 1:00 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
      1:00 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 Borrower 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 in computing interest or fees, as the case may
      be.

     

    (b) (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 the Term Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case
      of
      any Term Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of
      such Term Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the
      Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Term 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 any Term 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 Borrower a
      corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share
      of the applicable Term Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then
      the
      applicable Lender and the Borrower 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 the 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 Borrower, the interest rate
      applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower 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 Borrower the amount of such
      interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share
      of
      the applicable Term Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount
      so
      paid shall constitute such Lender's Term Loan included in such Term Borrowing.
      Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower
      may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the
      Administrative Agent.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -29-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (ii) Payments
      by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.
      Unless
      the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior
      to
      the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account
      of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the
      Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has 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 Borrower has
      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 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 Borrower by the Administrative Agent
      because the conditions to the Term Borrowing 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 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 representation by
      any
      Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Term Loan in any
      particular place or manner.

     

    2.10 Sharing
      of Payments by Lenders. If
      any
      Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise,
      obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on the Term Loan
      made
      by it resulting in such Lender's receiving payment of a proportion of the
      aggregate amount of the Term Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than
      its
pro rata
      share
      thereof as provided herein, 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 principal of and accrued interest on
      their respective Term Loans, provided
      that:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -30-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (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 (x) any
      payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
      terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as
      consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
      Term Loan to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any
      Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall
      apply).

     

    Each
      Loan
      Party 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 such Loan Party rights of setoff
      and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender
      were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such
      participation.

     

    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 Borrower 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 the 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 each Lender, as the case may be,
      receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
      deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and
      (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the
      relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

     

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

     

    (c) Indemnification
      by the Borrower.
      The
      Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10
      days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or
      Other Taxes incurred by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower
      hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or
      Other
      Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
      Section) and 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 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.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -31-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (d) Evidence
      of Payments.
      As soon
      as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the
      Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the 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 the 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 (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times
      prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
      documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the
      Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower 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, in the event that the Borrower is
      resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver
      to the Borrower 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 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, (x) a certificate to the
      effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a "bank" within the meaning of
      section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a "10 percent shareholder" of
      the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or
      (C) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in
      section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of
      Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -32-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (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 Borrower 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 which it has been
      indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid
      additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an
      amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made,
      or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower 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
      Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees
      to
      repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or
      other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
      Administrative Agent or, such Lender in the event 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 the 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 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 that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
      exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower 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 Borrower shall also pay accrued
      interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -33-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    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 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 may revoke any pending request for a Term 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 Term 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));

     

    (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 Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
      receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any
      other
      amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower 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 Loan 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 Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts
      as
      will compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding company for any such
      reduction suffered.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -34-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (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
      shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower 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
      Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender 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 notifies
      the
      Borrower 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
      Borrower 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 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 Borrower 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 the 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;
      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 Borrower 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 Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged
      by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -35-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    For
      purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower 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 the
      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 Loan 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. The 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
      the 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,
      the
      Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

     

    3.07 Survival.
      All of
      the Borrower's
      obligations under this Article III
      shall
      survive termination of the Aggregate Term Commitments and repayment of all
      other
      Obligations hereunder.

      which such Person is a party or affecting such Person or the properties of
      such
      Person or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) any order, injunction, writ or
      decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which such Person
      or its property is subject; or (c) violate any Law. The Borrower and each
      Subsidiary is in compliance with all Contractual Obligations referred to in
      clause (b)(i), except to the extent that failure to do so could not
      reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    5.03 Governmental
      Authorization; Other Consents.
      No
      approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice
      to,
      or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary
      or
      required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by, or
      enforcement against, any Loan Party of this Agreement or any other Loan
      Document.

     

    5.04 Binding
      Effect.
      This
      Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document, when delivered hereunder,
      will
      have been, duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is party thereto.
      This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when so delivered
      will
      constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party,
      enforceable against each Loan Party that is party thereto in accordance with
      its
      terms, except as limited by (a) Debtor Relief Laws and (b) the effect
      of general principles of equity whether applied by a court of Law or
      equity.

     

    5.05 Financial
      Statements; No Material Adverse Effect; No Internal Control
      Event.

     

    (a) The
      Audited Financial Statements (i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP
      consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise
      expressly noted therein; (ii) fairly present the financial condition of the
      Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their results of
      operations for the period covered thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently
      applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly
      noted therein; and (iii) show all material consolidated indebtedness and
      other liabilities, direct or contingent, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
      as
      of the date thereof, including liabilities for taxes, material commitments
      and
      Debt, as and to the extent required to be reported in accordance with
      GAAP.

     

    (b) Since
      the
      date of the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to
      clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01
      (or,
      prior to the delivery of the first such financial statements, since the
      November 30, 2007 date of the Borrower's most recent quarterly financial
      statements), there has been no event or circumstance (including, without
      limitation, an Internal Control Event), either individually or in the aggregate,
      that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
      Effect.

     

    (c) The
      Borrower and its Subsidiaries have no Off-Balance Sheet
      Liabilities.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -39-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    5.06 Litigation.
      There
      are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to the
      knowledge of the Borrower after due and diligent investigation, threatened
      or
      contemplated, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental
      Authority, by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against
      any
      of their properties or revenues that (a) purport to affect or pertain to
      this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions
      contemplated hereby, or (b) either individually or in the aggregate, could
      reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    5.07 No
      Default.
      Neither
      the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default under or with respect to any
      Contractual Obligation that could, either individually or in the aggregate,
      reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has
      occurred and is continuing or would result from the consummation of the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan
      Document.

     

    5.08 Ownership
      of Property; Liens.
      Each of
      the Borrower and each Subsidiary has good record and marketable title in fee
      simple to, or valid leasehold interests in, all real property necessary or
      used
      in the ordinary conduct of its business, except for such defects in title as
      could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have
      a
      Material Adverse Effect. The property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
      is subject to no Liens, other than Liens permitted by Section 7.01.

     

    5.09 Environmental
      Compliance. 

     

    (a) Permits,
      Etc.
      The
      Borrower and its Subsidiaries (i) have obtained all material Environmental
      Permits required by Governmental Authorities necessary for the ownership and
      operation of their respective properties and the conduct of their respective
      businesses, except for such Environmental Permits that could not, individually
      or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
      (ii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of such Environmental
      Permits, if any, and with all other material requirements of applicable
      Environmental Laws, except where such failure to comply could not, individually
      or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
      (iii) have not received notice of any violation or alleged violation of any
      Environmental Law or Environmental Permit; and (iv) are not subject to any
      actual or contingent Environmental Liability, in each case in clauses (iii)
      and (iv) immediately preceding where the effect could individually or in the
      aggregate be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    (b) Certain
      Liabilities.
      None of
      the present or, to the Borrower's knowledge, previously owned or operated
      Properties of the Borrower or of any of its present or former Subsidiaries,
      wherever located, (i) has been placed on or proposed to be placed on the
      National Priorities List, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation
      Liability Information System list, or their state or local analogs, or have
      been
      otherwise investigated, designated, listed or identified as a potential site
      for
      removal, remediation, cleanup, closure, restoration, reclamation, or other
      response activity under any Environmental Laws, except for any such Property
      with respect to which such event could not, individually or in the aggregate,
      reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) is subject
      to a Lien, arising under or in connection with any Environmental Laws, that
      attaches to any revenues or to any Property owned or operated by the Borrower
      or
      any of its Subsidiaries, wherever located, which could individually or in the
      aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or
      (iii) has been the site of any Release of Hazardous Materials from present
      or past operations which has caused at the site or at any third party site
      any
      condition that has resulted in or could individually or in the aggregate
      reasonably be expected to result in the need for Response that would cause
      a
      Material Adverse Effect.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -40-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (c) Certified
      Actions.
      Without
      limiting the foregoing, (i) all necessary notices have been properly filed,
      and no further action is required under current Environmental Law as to each
      Response or other restoration or remedial project taken by the Borrower, or its
      present or former Subsidiaries on any of their presently or formerly owned
      or
      operated Properties, except where the failure to do so could not individually
      or
      in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and
      (ii) the present and future liability, if any, of the Borrower and its
      Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to arise in connection with
      requirements under Environmental Laws could not individually or in the aggregate
      be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    5.10 Insurance.
      The
      properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
      are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies not
      Affiliates of the Borrower, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering
      such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses
      and owning similar properties in localities where the Borrower or the applicable
      Subsidiary
      operates.

     

    5.11 Taxes.
      The
      Borrower and its Subsidiaries
      have filed all Federal, state and other material tax returns and reports
      required to be filed, and have paid all Federal, state and other material taxes
      shown on such returns and all other assessments, fees and other governmental
      charges levied or imposed upon them or their properties, income or assets
      otherwise due and payable, except those which are being contested in good faith
      by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves
      have been provided in accordance with GAAP. There is no proposed tax assessment
      against the Borrower or any Subsidiary
      that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect. Other than the Tax Sharing
      and Indemnity Agreement between the Borrower and Chaparral Steel Company, dated
      as of July 29, 2005, as amended, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is
      party to any tax sharing agreement with any party outside the Borrower's
      consolidated group.

     

    5.12 ERISA
      Compliance.

     

    (a) Each
      Plan
      is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other
      Federal or state Laws, except such noncompliance as could not, individually
      or
      in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
      Each
      Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has
      qualified in form and operation under such Section and, to the best knowledge
      of
      the Borrower, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of,
      such qualification. The Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required
      contributions to each Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no
      application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period
      pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any
      Plan.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -41-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (b) There
      are
      no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened claims, actions
      or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan
      that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There
      has
      been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility
      rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected
      to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    (c) (i) No
      ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, individually
      or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
      Effect; (ii) no Pension Plans have any Unfunded Pension Liability,
      individually or in the aggregate for all Pension Plans, in an amount which
      could
      reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) neither the
      Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur,
      any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan
      (other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA);
      (iv) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or
      reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which,
      with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such
      liability) under Sections 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a
      Multiemployer Plan; and (v) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate
      has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Sections 4069 or
      4212(c) of ERISA.

     

    5.13 Subsidiaries;
      Equity Interests.
      As of
      the Closing Date, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than those specifically
      disclosed in Part (a) of Schedule 5.13,
      and all
      of the outstanding Equity Interests in such Subsidiaries have been validly
      issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by a Loan Party in the
      amounts specified on Part (a) of Schedule 5.13
      free and
      clear of all Liens. As of the Closing Date, the Borrower has no equity
      investments in any other corporation or entity other than those specifically
      disclosed in Part (b) of Schedule 5.13.
      All of
      the outstanding Equity Interests in the Borrower have been validly issued,
      are
      fully paid and nonassessable.

     

    5.14 Margin
      Regulations; Investment Company Act.

     

    (a) The
      Borrower is not engaged and will not 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. Following the
      application of the proceeds of the Term Borrowing, not more than 25% of the
      value of the assets (either of the Borrower only or of the Borrower and its
      Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) subject to the provisions of Section 7.01
      or
Section 7.05
      or
      subject to any restriction contained in any agreement or instrument between
      the
      Borrower and any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender relating to Debt and
      within the scope of Section 8.01(e)
      will be
      margin stock.

     

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

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -42-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    5.15 Disclosure.
      The
      Borrower has disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders all
      agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or
      any
      of its Subsidiaries 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
      and on the dates on which they were made, not misleading; provided
      that,
      with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents 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 of
      the Borrower and each Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects
      with
      the requirements of all Laws 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.

     

    5.17 Intellectual
      Property; Licenses, Etc. The
      Borrower and 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, except for such conflicts
      that, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected
      to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Borrower, no slogan
      or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other
      material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by the Borrower
      or
      any Subsidiary
      infringes upon any rights held by any other Person, except for such
      infringements that, either individually or in the aggregate, could not
      reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim or litigation
      regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of the
      Borrower, threatened, which, either individually or in the aggregate, could
      reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    5.18 Common
      Enterprise.
      The
      operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
      require financing on a basis such that the credit supplied can be made available
      from time to time to the Borrower and various of its Subsidiaries, as required
      for the continued successful operation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
      as a
      whole. The Borrower has requested the Lender to make credit available hereunder
      primarily for the purposes set forth in Section 6.11
      and
      generally for the purposes of financing the operations of the Borrower and
      its
      Subsidiaries. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries expects to derive
      benefit (and the Board of Directors or other similar governing body of the
      Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries
      has determined that such Subsidiary may reasonably be expected to derive
      benefit), directly or indirectly, from a portion of the credit extended by
      the
      Lenders hereunder, both in its separate capacity and as a member of the group
      of
      companies, since the successful operation and condition of the Borrower and
      each
      of its Subsidiaries
      is enhanced by the continued successful performance of the functions of the
      group as a whole. The Borrower acknowledges that, but for the agreement by
      each
      of the Guarantors to execute and deliver the Guaranty, the Administrative Agent
      and the Lenders would not have made available the credit facilities established
      hereby on the terms set forth herein.

    5.19 Solvent.
      The
      Borrower is, and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are on a consolidated basis,
      Solvent.

     

    5.20 Taxpayer
      Identification Number.
      The
      Borrower's true and correct U.S. taxpayer identification number is set forth
      on
Schedule 10.02.

      and
      (b) certain of the Lenders (each, a "Public

      respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of
      any
      of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market related
      activities with respect to such Persons' securities. The Borrower hereby agrees
      that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public
      Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked "PUBLIC" which, at a minimum,
      shall mean that the word "PUBLIC" shall appear prominently on the first page
      thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials "PUBLIC," the Borrower shall be
      deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders
      to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public
      information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of
      United States Federal and state securities laws (provided,
      however,
      that to
      the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated
      as set forth in Section 10.07);
      (y) all Borrower Materials marked "PUBLIC" are permitted to be made
      available through a portion of the Platform designated "Public Investor;" and

      any Borrower Materials that are not marked "PUBLIC" as being suitable only
      for
      posting on a portion of the Platform not designated "Public Investor."
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be under no obligation to
      mark
      any Borrower Materials "PUBLIC."

      the Lenders under the Loan Documents;

      however,
      that
      upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with
      respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the
      obligation of each Lender to make Term Loans shall automatically terminate,
      and
      the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Term Loans and all interest
      and
      other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, in each
      case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

     

    8.03 Application
      of Funds.
      After
      the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02
      (or
      after the Term Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable
      as
      set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02),

      held by
      them; and

     

    Last,

    ARTICLE
      IX.

    ADMINISTRATIVE
      AGENT

     

    9.01 Appointment
      and Authority. 

     

    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 the Borrower nor any
      other
      Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such
      provisions.

     

    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 the
      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

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -58-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (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 Borrower or any of its 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 or a Lender. The Administrative Agent shall promptly request any
      report, letter, statement or other information under Section 6.02(b)
      or
(c)
      which
      any Lender requests the Administrative Agent to obtain.

     

    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
      (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.

     

    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 Borrower), independent accountants
      and
      other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken
      or
      not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
      or experts.

    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 and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the
      Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, 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 and the Lenders that no
      qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall
      nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) 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 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 until such time as a successor Administrative
      Agent is appointed) and (2) 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 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 Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent
      shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed
      between the Borrower and such successor. After the 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 No
      Other Duties, Etc. Anything
      herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Arranger, Syndication Agent
      nor any Co-Documentation Agent 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 hereunder.

     

    9.09 Administrative
      Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In
      case
      of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
      reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or 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 the 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 2.06
      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, in the event
      that
      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 2.06
      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 or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote
      in
      respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

    9.10 Guaranty
      Matters. The
      Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in
      its
      discretion, to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty
      (i) if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction
      permitted hereunder or (ii) subject to Section 10.01,
      if
      approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders. Upon
      request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will
      confirm in writing the Administrative Agent's authority to release any Guarantor
      from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.

      TRANSMISSION OF BORROWER MATERIALS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT
      THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR EXPENSES ARE DETERMINED BY

      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

      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

      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
      shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise
      of

      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, the consummation of the transactions contemplated
      hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any

      other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party
      thereto,
      IN

      THE
      COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE
      INDEMNITEE;
      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 the 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 the

      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 sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of

    (d) WAIVER
      OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ETC.
      TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE BORROWER SHALL NOT
      ASSERT, AND 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

      TELECOMMUNICATIONS, ELECTRONIC OR OTHER INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN
      CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS

      Obligations.

     

    10.05 Payments
      Set Aside. To
      the
      extent that any payment by or on behalf of the 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 the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or
      otherwise transfer any of its 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 Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of
      subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in
      accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section,

      accordance with the provisions of subsection (h) of this Section (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 Eligible Assignees all or a portion
      of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
      of its Term Commitment and the Term Loan at the time owing to it); provided
      that

     

    (i) except
      in
      the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
      Lender's Term Commitment and the Term Loan at the time owing to it or in the
      case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
      Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Term Commitment
      (which for this purpose includes the Term Loan outstanding thereunder) or,
      if
      the Term Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance
      of
      the Term Loan 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, unless
      each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has
      occurred and is continuing, the Borrower 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) 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 Loan or the Term Commitment assigned;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -68-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (iii) any
      assignment of a Term Commitment must be approved by the Borrower (provided
      no
      Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and provided such approval
      shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Administrative Agent,
      unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether
      or
      not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee);
      and

     

    (iv) 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, and the Eligible
      Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
      Agent
      an Administrative Questionnaire.

     

    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 Eligible 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 Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and
      deliver a Term Loan 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
      subsection (d) of this Section.

     

    (c) Register.
      The
      Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
      Borrower, 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 Borrower, 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 Borrower 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 Borrower
      or
      the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a
      natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower's 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 Term Commitment and/or its Term Loan;
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 Borrower, the
      Administrative Agent, 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, the
      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 subsection (b) of this Section. 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
      2.10
      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'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 is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and
      such
      Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section
      3.01(e)
      as
      though it were a Lender and performs such agreement.

     

    (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 Term Loan 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) Special
      Purpose Funding Vehicles.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a
      "Granting
      Lender")
      may
      grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from
      time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
      (an "SPC")
      the
      option to provide all or any part of any Term Loan that such Granting Lender
      would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided
      that
      (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any
      Term Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or
      otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Term Loan, the Granting Lender
      shall be obligated to make such Term Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or,
      if it
      fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required
      under Section 2.09(b).
      Each
      party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the
      exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or
      otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this
      Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04),
      (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation
      under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the
      Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment,
      waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain
      the
      lender of record hereunder. The making of a Term Loan by an SPC hereunder shall
      utilize the Term Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and
      as
      if, such Term Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the
      foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the
      termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and
      one
      day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other
      senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person
      in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
      insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or
      any
      State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any
      SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and
      the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount
      of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in
      its
      sole discretion), assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment
      with
      respect to any Term Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a
      confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Term
      Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety
      or
      Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

     

    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) as reasonably required 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 Agreement or (ii) any actual or
      prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction
      relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the
      Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly
      available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) 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
      Borrower.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -71-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    For
      purposes of this Section, "Information"
      means
      all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the
      Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of 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 the Borrower or any Subsidiary,
      provided
      that, in
      the case of information received from the Borrower or any 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 Borrower
      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 Federal and state securities Laws.

     

    10.08 Right
      of Setoff. If
      an
      Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each
      of
      its 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
      the
      Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of
      the
      Borrower or such Loan Party 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 Borrower or such Loan Party may
      be
      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 Borrower 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.

     

    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 Highest Lawful
      Rate. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an
      amount that exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the excess interest shall be
      applied to the principal of the Term Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid
      principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest
      contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender
      exceeds the Highest Lawful 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.

     

    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 the Term Borrowing, and shall continue in full force
      and effect as long as any Term Loan or any other Obligations hereunder shall
      remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

     

    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 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 is a Defaulting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder
      that
      gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the
      Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and
      the
      Administrative 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:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -73-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (a) the
      Borrower 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 Borrower (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.

     

    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 Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to
      apply.

      Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. 

     

    (a) GOVERNING
      LAW.

      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 THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN

      other Loan Document), the Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and

      (together with all amendments and restatements and Guaranty Supplements, this
      "Guaranty"),
      dated
      as of March 20, 2008, made by each of the parties listed on the signature
      pages hereof and each other Person who may from time to time become a party
      to
      this Guaranty pursuant to Section 22
      (collectively, the "Additional
      Guarantors,"
      and
      each, an "Additional
      Guarantor,"
      and
      together with each of the signatories party hereto, collectively the
      "Guarantors,"
      and
      each, a "Guarantor"),
      in
      favor of the Guarantied Parties referred to below.

     

    WITNESSETH.

     

    WHEREAS,
      Texas Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"),
      has
      entered into the Term Credit Agreement dated as of March 20, 2008, among
      Bank of America, N.A., as the Administrative Agent (hereinafter, the
      "Administrative
      Agent")
      and
      the Lenders party thereto (said Credit Agreement, as it may be amended,
      supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit
      Agreement";
      and
      capitalized terms not defined herein but defined therein being used herein
      as
      therein defined); and

     

    WHEREAS,
      the Borrower and each of the Guarantors are members of the same consolidated
      group of companies and are engaged in operations which require financing on
      a
      basis in which credit can be made available from time to time to the Borrower
      and the Guarantors, and the Guarantors will derive direct and indirect economic
      benefit from the Term Loans under the Credit Agreement and financial
      accommodations made pursuant to Swap Contracts and Cash Management Documents;
      and

     

    WHEREAS,
      it is a condition precedent to the obligation of the Lenders to make Term Loans
      under the Credit Agreement that the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered
      this Guaranty; and

     

    WHEREAS,
      the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, any Lender or Affiliate of any Lender
      that is a party to any Swap Contract with the Borrower or any Subsidiary of
      the
      Borrower, any Lender or Affiliate of any Lender that is owed any Cash Management
      Obligation (provided that at the time such Cash Management Obligation arose
      such
      Lender is a party to the Credit Agreement), and the beneficiaries of each
      indemnification obligation undertaken by any Loan Party under any Loan Document
      are herein referred to as the "Guarantied
      Parties";
      provided that any Person that ceases to be a Lender (and any Affiliate of such
      Person) shall be a Guarantied Party only with respect to transactions under
      Swap
      Contracts that were entered into during or prior to the time that such Person
      was a Lender.

     

    AGREEMENT.

     

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Lenders to make
      Term Loans and Guarantied Parties to make financial accommodations under Swap
      Contracts and Cash Management Documents, the Guarantors hereby agree as
      follows:

     

    
      
         

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    
       

      SECTION
        1. Guaranty. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally unconditionally
        and irrevocably guarantee the full and prompt payment when due, whether at
        stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of, and the performance of,
        (a) the Obligations, whether now or hereafter existing and whether for
        principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise, (b) all Swap Obligations
        owed to any Guarantied Party under a Swap Contract, each a "Guarantied Swap
        Contract"), (c) all Cash Management Obligations owed to any Lender or
        any Affiliate of such Lender (provided that at the time such Cash Management
        Obligation arose such Lender is a party to the Credit Agreement), (d) any
        and all out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, expenses and
        reasonable counsel fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the
        other
        Guarantied Parties) incurred by any of the Guarantied Parties in enforcing
        any
        rights under this Guaranty or under any other Loan Document, and (e) all
        present and future amounts in respect of the foregoing that would become
        due but
        for the operation of any provision of Debtor Relief Laws, and all present
        and
        future accrued and unpaid interest, including, without limitation, all
        post-petition interest if any Loan Party voluntarily or involuntarily becomes
        subject to any Debtor Relief Laws (the items set forth in clauses (a), (b),
        (c), (d) and (e) being herein referred to as the "Guarantied
        Obligations"). Upon failure of the Borrower to pay any of the Guarantied
        Obligations when due after the giving by the Administrative Agent and/or
        the
        Guarantied Parties of any notice and the expiration of any applicable cure
        period in each case provided for in the Credit Agreement, the other Loan
        Documents, any Guarantied Swap Contract or any Cash Management Document (whether
        at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the Guarantors hereby
        further
        jointly and severally agree to promptly pay the same after the Guarantors'
        receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of the Borrower's failure
        to pay
        the same, without any other demand or notice whatsoever, including without
        limitation, any notice having been given to any Guarantor of either the
        acceptance by the Guarantied Parties of this Guaranty or the creation or
        incurrence of any of the Guarantied Obligations. This Guaranty is an absolute
        guaranty of payment and performance of the Guarantied Obligations and not
        a
        guaranty of collection, meaning that it is not necessary for the Guarantied
        Parties, in order to enforce payment by the Guarantors, first or
        contemporaneously to accelerate payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations,
        to
        institute suit or exhaust any rights against any Loan Party, or to enforce
        any
        rights against any collateral. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any
        other
        Loan Document, any Guarantied Swap Contract or any Cash Management Document
        to
        the contrary, in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate or
        other
        entity Law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
        or
        other Law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if, as a result of
        applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer,
        including Section 548 of Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of
        comparable state Law (collectively, "Fraudulent Transfer Laws"), the
        obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 1 would otherwise,
        after giving effect to (a) all other liabilities of such Guarantor,
        contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under such Fraudulent Transfer
        Laws
        (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Guarantor in respect
        of intercompany Debt to the Borrower to the extent that such Debt would be
        discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder)
        and (b) to the value as assets of such Guarantor (as determined under the
        applicable provisions of such Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights of
        subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights held
        by
        such Guarantor pursuant to (i) applicable requirements of Law,
        (ii) Section 10 hereof or (iii) any other contractual
        obligations providing for an equitable allocation among such Guarantor and
        other
        Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Borrower of obligations arising under this
        Guaranty or other guaranties of the Guarantied Obligations by such parties,
        be
        held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated
        to the
        claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability
        under
        this Section 1, then the amount of such liability shall, without any
        further action by such Guarantor, any Guarantied Party, the Administrative
        Agent
        or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest
        amount
        that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other
        creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

      SECTION
        2. Guaranty
        Absolute.
        Each
        Guarantor guarantees that the Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly
        in
        accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Notes, the
        other Loan Documents, the Guarantied Swap Contracts and the Cash Management
        Documents, without set-off or counterclaim, and regardless of any Applicable
        Law
        now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms
        or
        the rights of the Guarantied Parties with respect thereto. The liability
        of each
        Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective
        of:

       

      (a) any
        lack
        of validity or enforceability of any provision of any other Loan Document,
        any
        Guarantied Swap Contract or any Cash Management Document or any other agreement
        or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, or avoidance or subordination
        of
        any of the Guarantied Obligations;

       

      (b) any
        change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of,
        or
        any increase in the amount of, all or any of the Guarantied Obligations,
        or any
        other amendment or waiver of any term of, or any consent to departure from
        any
        requirement of, the Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Notes or any of the other
        Loan Documents, any Guarantied Swap Contract or any Cash Management
        Document;

       

      (c) any
        exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on any collateral for, or
        any
        release of any other Loan Party or amendment or waiver of any term of any
        other
        guaranty of, or any consent to departure from any requirement of any other
        guaranty of, all or any of the Guarantied Obligations;

       

      (d) the
        absence of any attempt to collect any of the Guarantied Obligations from
        the
        Borrower or from any other Loan Party or any other action to enforce the
        same or
        the election of any remedy by any of the Guarantied Parties;

       

      (e) any
        waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by
        any of
        the Guarantied Parties with respect to any provision of any other Loan Document,
        any Guarantied Swap Contract or any Cash Management Document;

       

      (f) the
        election by any of the Guarantied Parties in any proceeding under any Debtor
        Relief Law;

       

      (g) any
        borrowing or grant of a security interest by the Borrower, as
        debtor-in-possession, under any Debtor Relief Law; or

       

      (h) any
        other
        circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge
        or
        defense of the Borrower or any Guarantor other than payment or performance
        of
        the Guarantied Obligations.

        3. Waiver.

       

      (a) Each
        Guarantor hereby (i) waives (A) promptness, diligence, and, except as
        otherwise provided herein, notice of acceptance and any and all other notices,
        including, without limitation, notice of intent to accelerate and notice
        of
        acceleration, with respect to any of the Guarantied Obligations or this
        Guaranty, (B) any requirement that any of the Guarantied Parties protect,
        secure, perfect or insure any security interest in or other Lien on any property
        subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower
        or
        any other Person or any collateral, (C) the filing of any claim with a
        court in the event of receivership or bankruptcy of the Borrower or any other
        Person, (D) except as otherwise provided herein, protest or notice with
        respect to nonpayment of all or any of the Guarantied Obligations, (E) to
        the extent not prohibited by Law, the benefit of any statute of limitation,
        (F) all demands whatsoever (and any requirement that demand be made on the
        Borrower or any other Person as a condition precedent to such Guarantor's
        obligations hereunder), (G) all rights by which any Guarantor might be
        entitled to require suit on an accrued right of action in respect of any
        of the
        Guarantied Obligations or require suit against the Borrower or any other
        Guarantor or Person, whether arising pursuant to Section 34.02 of the Texas
        Business and Commerce Code, as amended, Section 17.001 of the Texas Civil
        Practice and Remedies Code, as amended, Rule 31 of the Texas Rules of Civil
        Procedure, as amended, or otherwise, (H) any defense based upon an election
        of
        remedies by any Guarantied Party, or (I) notice of any events or
        circumstances set forth in clauses (a) through (h) of Section 2
        hereof;
        and (ii) covenants and agrees that, except as otherwise agreed by the
        parties, this Guaranty will not be discharged except by (A) complete
        payment and performance of the Guarantied Obligations and any other obligations
        of such Guarantor contained herein or (B) as to any Guarantor, upon the
        sale or other disposition of all of the Equity Interests of such Guarantor
        as
        permitted under the Credit Agreement.

       

      (b) If,
        in
        the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, any of the Guarantied Parties
        shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including, without limitation,
        its
        right to enter a deficiency judgment against the Borrower or any other Person,
        whether because of any Applicable Law pertaining to "election of remedies"
        or
        the like, each Guarantor hereby consents to such action by such Guarantied
        Party
        and waives any claim based upon such action. Any election of remedies which,
        by
        reason of such election, results in the denial or impairment of the right
        of
        such Guarantied Party to seek a deficiency judgment against the Borrower
        or any
        other Person shall not impair the obligation of such Guarantor to pay the
        full
        amount of the Guarantied Obligations or any other obligation of such Guarantor
        contained herein.

       

      (c) In
        the
        event any of the Guarantied Parties shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee's
        sale or at any private sale permitted by Law or under any of the Loan Documents,
        any Guarantied Swap Contract or any Cash Management Document, to the extent
        not
        prohibited by Applicable Law, such Guarantied Party may bid all or less than
        the
        amount of the Guarantied Obligations and the amount of such bid, if successful,
        need not be paid by such Guarantied Party but shall be credited against the
        Guarantied Obligations.

      (d) Each
        Guarantor agrees that notwithstanding the foregoing and without limiting
        the
        generality of the foregoing if, after the occurrence and during the continuance
        of an Event of Default, the Guarantied Parties are prevented by Applicable
        Law
        from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the
        Guarantied Obligations, to collect interest on the Guarantied Obligations,
        or to
        enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Guarantied
        Obligations, or the Administrative Agent is prevented from taking any action
        to
        realize on the collateral, such Guarantor agrees to pay to the Administrative
        Agent for the account of the Guarantied Parties, upon demand therefor, for
        application to the Guarantied Obligations, the amount that would otherwise
        have
        been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised
        by the Guarantied Parties.

       

      (e) Each
        Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the
        financial condition of the Borrower and of each other Loan Party, and of
        all
        other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guarantied
        Obligations or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal. Each
        Guarantor hereby agrees that the Guarantied Parties shall have no duty to
        advise
        any Guarantor of information known to any of the Guarantied Parties regarding
        such condition or any such circumstance. In the event that any of the Guarantied
        Parties in its sole discretion undertakes at any time or from time to time
        to
        provide any such information to any Guarantor, such Guarantied Party shall
        be
        under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its
        regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information which, pursuant
        to accepted or reasonable banking or commercial finance practices, such
        Guarantied Party wishes to maintain as confidential, or (iii) to make any
        other or future disclosures of such information or any other information
        to such
        Guarantor.

       

      (f) Each
        Guarantor consents and agrees that the Guarantied Parties shall be under
        no
        obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor or any other Loan
        Party or otherwise in connection with obtaining payment of any or all of
        the
        Guarantied Obligations from any Person or source.

       

      SECTION
        4. Representations
        and Warranties.
        Each
        Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Guarantied Parties that the
        representations and warranties set forth in Article V
        of the
        Credit Agreement as they relate to such Guarantor or to the Loan Documents
        to
        which such Guarantor is a party are true and correct in all material respects
        in
        the manner specified in the Credit Agreement and the Guarantied Parties shall
        be
        entitled to rely on each of them as if they were fully set forth
        herein.

       

      SECTION
        5. Amendments,
        Etc.
        No
        amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, and no consent to
        any
        departure by any Guarantor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless
        the
        same shall be in writing, approved by the Required Lenders (or by all the
        Lenders where the approval of each Lender is required under the Credit
        Agreement) and signed by the Administrative Agent, and then such waiver or
        consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
        purpose for which given.

       

      SECTION
        6. Addresses
        for Notices.
        All
        notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be effectuated
        in
        the manner provided for in Section 10.02
        of the
        Credit Agreement; provided,
        that if
        a notice or communication hereunder is sent to a Guarantor, said notice shall
        be
        addressed to such Guarantor, in care of the Borrower at the Borrower's then
        current address (or facsimile number) for notice under the Credit
        Agreement.

      SECTION
        7. No
        Waiver; Remedies.

       

      (a) No
        failure on the part of any Guarantied Party to exercise, and no delay in
        exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall
        any
        single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further
        exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein
        provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by Applicable
        Law or any of the other Loan Documents, any Guarantied Swap Contract or any
        Cash
        Management Document.

       

      (b) No
        waiver
        by the Guarantied Parties of any default shall operate as a waiver of any
        other
        default or the same default on a future occasion, and no action by any of
        the
        Guarantied Parties permitted hereunder shall in way affect or impair any
        of the
        rights of the Guarantied Parties or the obligations of any Guarantor under
        this
        Guaranty or under any of the other Loan Documents, any Guarantied Swap Contract
        or any Cash Management Document, except as specifically set forth in any
        such
        waiver. Any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction of the amount
        of
        any principal and/or interest or other amount constituting any of the Guarantied
        Obligations shall be conclusive and binding on each Guarantor irrespective
        of
        whether such Guarantor was a party to the suit or action in which such
        determination was made, provided that the Borrower was so a party.

       

      SECTION
        8. Right
        of Set-off.
        Upon
        the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the
        Credit Agreement, each of the Guarantied Parties is hereby authorized at
        any
        time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable
        Law,
        to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special (except trust
        and
        escrow accounts), time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held
        and
        other Debt at any time owing by such Guarantied Party to or for the credit
        or
        the account of each Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of such
        Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty, irrespective of
        whether
        or not such Guarantied Party shall have made any demand under this Guaranty
        and
        although such obligations may be contingent and unmatured; provided,
        however,
        such
        Guarantied Party shall promptly notify such Guarantor and the Borrower after
        such set-off and the application made by such Guarantied Party. The rights
        of
        each Guarantied Party under this Section 8
        are in
        addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other
        rights of set-off) which such Guarantied Party may have.

       

      SECTION
        9. Continuing
        Guaranty; Transfer of Term Loan Notes.
        This
        Guaranty (a)(i) is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in full force and
        effect until the date upon which all Guarantied Obligations are finally paid
        in
        full, the Commitments are terminated and all Guarantied Swap Contracts have
        expired or terminated (the "Release
        Date")
        and
        (ii) binding upon each Guarantor, its permitted successors and assigns, and
        (b) inures to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Guarantied Parties
        and their respective successors, permitted transferees, and permitted assigns.
        Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (b), each of the
        Guarantied Parties may assign or otherwise transfer the Term Loan Note held
        by
        it or the Guarantied Obligations owed to it to any other Person, and such
        other
        Person shall thereupon become vested with all the rights in respect thereof
        granted to such Guarantied Party herein or otherwise with respect to the
        Term
        Loan Note and the Guarantied Obligations so transferred or assigned, subject,
        however, to compliance with the provisions of Section 10.06
        of the
        Credit Agreement in respect of assignments. No Guarantor may assign any of
        its
        obligations under this Guaranty without first obtaining the written consent
        of
        the Lenders as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

      SECTION
        10. Reimbursement.
        To the
        extent that any Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay a portion of
        the
        Guarantied Obligations exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the
        economic benefit actually received by such Guarantor from the Term Loans,
        Guarantied Swap Contracts and Cash Management Documents and (b) the amount
        such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor had paid the
        aggregate amount of the Guarantied Obligations (excluding the amount thereof
        repaid by the Borrower) in the same proportion as such Guarantor's net worth
        at
        the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth
        of all
        the Guarantors at the date enforcement is sought hereunder, then such Guarantor
        shall be reimbursed by such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess,
        pro
        rata, based on the respective net worths of such other Guarantors at the
        date
        enforcement hereunder is sought. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
        each
        Guarantor agrees that the Guarantied Obligations may at any time and from
        time
        to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without
        impairing its guaranty herein or effecting the rights and remedies of the
        Guarantied Parties hereunder. This Section 10
        is
        intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing
        set
        forth in this Section 10
        is
        intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and
        severally, to pay to the Guarantied Parties the Guarantied Obligations as
        and
        when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms
        hereof.

       

      SECTION
        11. Application
        of Payments.
        All
        amounts and property received by Administrative Agent and Guarantied Parties
        pursuant to this Guaranty (including amounts and property received or applied
        pursuant to Section 8
        or
        application of other rights of set-off) shall be applied as provided in
Section 8.03
        of the
        Credit Agreement.

       

      SECTION
        12. Reinstatement.
        This
        Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective
        should any petition be filed by or against any Loan Party for liquidation
        or
        reorganization, should any Loan Party become insolvent or make an assignment
        for
        the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for
        all or
        any significant part of any Loan Party's assets, and shall, to the fullest
        extent permitted by Applicable Law, continue to be effective or be reinstated,
        as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Guarantied
        Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to Applicable Law, rescinded
        or
        reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligees
        of
        the Guarantied Obligations or such part thereof, whether as a "voidable
        preference," "fraudulent transfer," or otherwise, all as though such payment
        or
        performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part
        thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Guarantied Obligations
        shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be reinstated and deemed reduced
        only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or
        returned.

       

      SECTION

        BRING
        ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT

        shall be deemed to be an original, all of which taken together shall constitute

        17. Miscellaneous.
        All
        references herein to the Borrower or to any Guarantor shall include their
        respective successors and assigns, including, without limitation, a receiver,
        trustee or debtor-in-possession of or for the Borrower or such Guarantor.
        All
        references to the singular shall be deemed to include the plural where the
        context so requires.

       

      SECTION
        18. Subrogation
        and Subordination.

       

      (a) Subrogation.
        Notwithstanding any reference to subrogation contained herein to the contrary,
        each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that until the Release Date that
        such
        Guarantor shall not exercise any claim or other rights which it may have
        or
        hereafter acquire against the Borrower that arise from the existence, payment,
        performance or enforcement of such Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty,
        including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
        exoneration, contribution, indemnification, any right to participate in any
        claim or remedy of any Guarantied Party against the Borrower or any collateral
        which any Guarantied Party now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not
        such
        claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statutes or common
        law, including without limitation, the right to take or receive from the
        Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off
        or in
        any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights.
        If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding
        sentence and the Guarantied Obligations shall not have been paid in full,
        such
        amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit
        of,
        and held in trust for the benefit of, the Guarantied Parties, and shall
        forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied
        upon
        the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with
        the
        terms of the Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive
        direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated
        by the
        Credit Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this Section 18
        is
        knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          9

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (b) Subordination.
        With
        respect to each Guarantor, all debt and other liabilities of the Borrower
        or any
        other Loan Party to such Guarantor ("Loan
        Party Debt")
        are
        expressly subordinate and junior to the Guarantied Obligations and any
        instruments evidencing the Loan Party Debt to the extent provided
        below.

       

      (i) Until
        the
        Release Date, each Guarantor agrees that it will not request, demand, accept,
        or
        receive (by set-off or other manner) any payment amount, credit or reduction
        of
        all or any part of the amounts owing under the Loan Party Debt or any security
        therefor, except as specifically allowed pursuant to clause (ii)
        below;

       

      (ii) Notwithstanding
        the provisions of clause (i) above, the Borrower and each other Loan Party
        may pay to such Guarantor and such Guarantor may request, demand, accept
        and
        receive and retain from the Borrower or such other Loan Party payments, credits
        or reductions of all or any part of the amounts owing under the Loan Party
        Debt
        or any security therefor on the Loan Party Debt, provided that the Borrower's
        and such other Loan Party's right to pay and such Guarantor's right to receive
        any such amount shall automatically and be immediately suspended and cease
        (A) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
        or (B) if, after taking into account the effect of such payment, an Event
        of Default would occur and be continuing. Such Guarantor's right to receive
        amounts under this clause (ii) (including any amounts which theretofore may
        have been suspended) shall automatically be reinstated at such time as the
        Event
        of Default which was the basis of such suspension has been cured or waived
        (provided that no subsequent Event of Default has occurred) or such earlier
        date, if any, as the Administrative Agent gives notice to the Guarantors
        of
        reinstatement by the Required Lenders, in the Required Lenders' sole
        discretion;

       

      (iii) If
        any
        Guarantor receives any payment on the Loan Party Debt in violation of this
        Guaranty, such Guarantor will hold such payment in trust for the Guarantied
        Parties and will immediately deliver such payment to the Administrative Agent;
        and

       

      (iv) In
        the
        event of the commencement or joinder of any suit, action or proceeding of
        any
        type (judicial or otherwise) or proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law against
        the Borrower or any other Loan Party (an "Insolvency
        Proceeding")
        and
        subject to court orders issued pursuant to the applicable Debtor Relief Law,
        the
        Guarantied Obligations shall first be paid, discharged and performed in full
        before any payment or performance is made upon the Loan Party Debt
        notwithstanding any other provisions which may be made in such Insolvency
        Proceeding. In the event of any Insolvency Proceeding, each Guarantor will
        at
        any time prior to the Release Date (A) file, at the request of any
        Guarantied Party, any claim, proof of claim or similar instrument necessary
        to
        enforce the Borrower's or such other Loan Party's obligation to pay the Loan
        Party Debt, and (B) hold in trust for and pay to the Administrative Agent,
        for the benefit of Guarantied Parties, any and all monies, obligations,
        property, stock dividends or other assets received in any such proceeding
        on
        account of the Loan Party Debt in order that the Guarantied Parties may apply
        such monies or the cash proceeds of such other assets to the Guarantied
        Obligations.

      SECTION
        19. Guarantor
        Insolvency.
        Should
        any Guarantor voluntarily seek, consent to, or acquiesce in the benefits
        of any
        Debtor Relief Law or become a party to or be made the subject of any proceeding
        provided for by any Debtor Relief Law (other than as a creditor or claimant)
        that could suspend or otherwise adversely affect the rights of any Guarantied
        Party granted hereunder, then, the obligations of such Guarantor under this
        Guaranty shall be, as between such Guarantor and such Guarantied Party, a
        fully-matured, due, and payable obligation of such Guarantor to such Guarantied
        Party (without regard to whether there is an Event of Default under the Credit
        Agreement or whether any part of the Guarantied Obligations is then due and
        owing by the Borrower to such Guarantied Party), payable in full by such
        Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Guarantied
        Party,
        upon demand, which shall be the estimated amount owing in respect of the
        contingent claim created hereunder.

       

      SECTION
        20. Rate
        Provision.
        It is
        not the intention of any Guarantied Party to make an agreement violative
        of the
        Laws of any applicable jurisdiction relating to usury. Regardless of any
        provision in this Guaranty, no Guarantied Party shall ever be entitled to
        contract, charge, receive, collect or apply, as interest on the Guarantied
        Obligations, any amount in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. In no event
        shall
        any Guarantor be obligated to pay any amount in excess of the Highest Lawful
        Rate. If from any circumstance the Administrative Agent or any Guarantied
        Party
        shall ever receive, collect or apply anything of value deemed excess interest
        under Applicable Law, an amount equal to such excess shall be applied first
        to
        the reduction of the principal amount of outstanding Term Loans, second to
        the
        reduction of principal of any other Guarantied Obligations, and third any
        remainder shall be promptly refunded to the payor. In determining whether
        or not
        interest paid or payable with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, under
        any
        specified contingency, exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Guarantors and
        the
        Guarantied Parties shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law,
        (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium
        rather than as interest, (b) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the
        total amount of interest throughout the full term of such Guarantied Obligations
        so that the interest paid on account of such Guarantied Obligations does
        not
        exceed the Highest Lawful Rate and/or (c) allocate interest between
        portions of such Guarantied Obligations; provided, that if the Guarantied
        Obligations are paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full
        contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period
        of
        existence thereof exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Guarantied Parties
        shall
        refund to the payor the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such
        excess against the total principal amount owing, and, in such event, no
        Guarantied Party shall be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for
        contracting for, charging or receiving interest in excess of the Highest
        Lawful
        Rate.

       

      SECTION
        21. Severability.
        Any
        provision of this Guaranty which is for any reason prohibited or found or
        held
        invalid or unenforceable by any court or Governmental Authority shall be
        ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity or unenforceability,
        without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction
        or
        affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
        jurisdiction.

       

      SECTION
        22. Additional
        Guarantors.
        Upon
        the execution and delivery by any other Person of a Guaranty Supplement in
        substantially the form of Exhibit A
        (each, a
        "Guaranty
        Supplement"),
        such
        Person shall become a "Guarantor" hereunder with the same force and effect
        as if
        originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any
        Guaranty Supplement shall not require the consent of any other Guarantor.
        The
        rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force
        and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to
        this
        Guaranty.

      SECTION
        23. ENTIRE
        AGREEMENT.
        THIS
        GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG
        THE
        PARTIES REGARDING THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREIN AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY
        EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.
        THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

       

      SECTION
        24. Conflicts.
        If in
        the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Guaranty
        and
        the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions
        of
        the Credit Agreement shall control.

       

      SECTION
        25. Taxes.

       

      (a) Except
        as
        provided below in this Section 25,
        any and
        all payments by each Guarantor to or for the account of the Administrative
        Agent
        or any Lender under this Guaranty, any other Loan Document or any Guarantied
        Swap Contract shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
        and
        all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments,
        fees, withholdings or similar charges, now or thereafter imposed, and all
        liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of any Guarantied
        Party, or its applicable lending office, or any branch or affiliate thereof,
        taxes imposed on or measured by its net income (including net income taxes
        imposed by means of a backup withholding tax) franchise taxes, branch taxes,
        taxes on doing business or taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall
        capital
        or net worth of any Guarantied Party or its applicable lending office, or
        any
        branch or affiliate thereof, in each case imposed: (i) by the jurisdiction
        under the laws of which the Administrative Agent, or such Lender, applicable
        lending office, branch or affiliate is organized or is located, or in which
        the
        principal executive office of any Guarantied Party is located, or any nation
        within which such jurisdiction is located or any political subdivision thereof;
        or (ii) by reason of any present or former connection between the
        jurisdiction imposing such tax and such Guarantied Party, applicable lending
        office, branch or affiliate other than a connection arising solely from such
        Guarantied Party having executed, delivered or performed its obligation under,
        or received payment under or enforced this Agreement (all such non-excluded
        taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings
        or
        similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes").
        If
        any Guarantor shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in
        respect of any sum payable under this Guaranty, any other Loan Document or
        any
        Guarantied Swap Contract to any Guarantied Party, (i) the sum payable shall
        be increased as necessary to yield to such Guarantied Party an amount equal
        to
        the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such
        Guarantor shall make such deductions, (iii) such Guarantor shall pay the
        full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority
        in
        accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the date of
        such payment, such Guarantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which
        shall forward the same to such Guarantied Party) the original or a certified
        copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof; provided,
        however,
        that
        such Guarantor shall be entitled to deduct and withhold any Taxes and shall
        not
        be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Guarantied Party
        with
        respect to Taxes (i) that are directly attributable to such Guarantied
        Party's failure to comply with the requirements of Section 3.06(a)
        of the
        Credit Agreement or (ii) that are U.S. withholding taxes imposed on amounts
        payable to such Lender at the time such Guarantied Party becomes a party
        to the
        Credit Agreement.

    (b) In
      addition, each Guarantor agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp,
      court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges
      or
      similar levies which arise from any payment made under this Guaranty, any other
      Loan Document or any Guarantied Swap Contract or from the execution, delivery,
      performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to,
      this
      Guaranty, any other Loan Document or any Guarantied Swap Contract, except that
      no Guarantor shall be obligated to pay any such taxes, charges or similar levies
      that are incurred or payable by any Person in connection with any assignment
      referred to in Section 10.06(b)
      of the
      Credit Agreement, any participation referred to in Section 10.06(d)
      of the
      Credit Agreement or any pledge or security interest referred to in Section 10.06(f)
      of the
      Credit Agreement (such taxes, charges and similar levies with respect to which
      the Guarantors are obligated to pay are hereinafter referred to as "Other
      Taxes").

     

    (c) If
      any
      Guarantor shall be required to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect
      of any sum payable under this Guaranty, any other Loan Document or any
      Guarantied Swap Contract to any Guarantied Party, such Guarantor shall also
      pay
      to the Administrative Agent (for the account of such Guarantied Party) or to
      such Guarantied Party, but without duplication in respect of such amounts
      payable hereunder, at the time interest on the Guarantied Obligations is paid,
      such additional amount that such Guarantied Party specifies as necessary to
      preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes, including taxes
      imposed on or measured by net income) such Guarantied Party would have received
      if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

     

    (d) Each
      Guarantor agrees to indemnify each Guarantied Party for (i) the full amount
      of Taxes and Other Taxes incurred by or on account of any obligation of such
      Guarantor hereunder (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted
      by
      any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) that are paid by such
      Guarantied Party, (ii) amounts payable under Section 25(c)
      and
      (iii) any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising
      therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or
      Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
      Governmental Authority. Payment under this subsection (d) shall be made
      within 30 days after the date the Guarantied Party makes a demand
      therefor.

     

    (e) Any
      Guarantied Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section 25
      shall
      use its reasonable best efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal
      and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office,
      if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount
      of, any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not,
      in
      the reasonable judgment of such Guarantied Party, be disadvantageous to such
      Guarantied Party.

    (f) Each
      Guarantied Party agrees that (i) it will take all reasonable actions by all
      usual means to maintain all exemptions, if any, available to it from United
      States withholding taxes (whether available by treaty, existing administrative
      waiver, by virtue of the location of any Guarantied Party's lending office)
      and
      (ii) otherwise cooperate with the Borrower to minimize amounts payable by
      each Guarantor under this Section 25;
      provided,
      however,
      the
      Guarantied Parties shall not be obligated by reason of this Section 25(f)
      to
      contest the payment of any Taxes or Other Taxes or to disclose any information
      regarding its tax affairs or tax computations or reorder its tax or other
      affairs or tax or other planning. Subject to the foregoing, to the extent any
      Guarantor pays sums pursuant to this Section 25
      Guarantied Party receives a refund of any or all of such sums, such refund
      shall
      be promptly paid to such Guarantor, provided that no Default is in existence
      at
      such time. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 24
      to the
      contrary, the demand by any Guarantied Party for the payment of Taxes or Other
      Taxes under this Section 25
      shall
      not include any Taxes or Other Taxes that occurred 180 days prior to the date
      that such Guarantied Party notifies the Borrower of such Taxes or Other Taxes
      no
      later than 180 days after the date that such Guarantied Party had actual
      knowledge of such Taxes or Other Taxes, except to the extent that any such
      Taxes
      or Other Taxes are retroactive according to the terms of the applicable
      provisions related thereto.

     

    (g) The
      obligations of each Guarantor and each Lender or Participant under this
Section 25
      shall
      survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Term Loans
      and
      all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan
      Documents.
