     Section 1.1     Agreement to Vote. Each Shareholder irrevocably and unconditionally hereby agrees that from and after the date hereof until the earlier of (a) receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval and (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement (such earliest time, the “Expiration Time”), at any meeting (whether annual or special and each adjourned or postponed meeting) of the Company’s shareholders, however called, or in connection with any written consent of the Company’s shareholders, each Shareholder will (i) appear at such meeting or otherwise cause its Owned Shares (as defined below) to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (ii) vote or cause to be voted (including by written consent, if applicable) all of such Shareholder’s Shares beneficially owned by such Shareholder as of the relevant time (the “Owned Shares”), (A) for approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (without regard to any Company Change of Recommendation), (B) against any Company Alternative Proposal, without regard to the terms of such Company Alternative Proposal, or any other transaction, proposal, agreement or action made in opposition to adoption of the Merger Agreement or in competition or inconsistent with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (C) against any other action that is intended or could prevent, impede, or, in any material respect, interfere with, delay the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or (D) in favor of any other matter necessary to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

     Section 1.2     Restrictions on Transfers. The Shareholders hereby agree that, from the date hereof until the Expiration Time, they shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign, transfer, give, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, issue, bequeath or in any manner encumber or dispose of, or permit to be sold, assigned, transferred or to become subject to any Lien, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, with or without consideration (collectively, “Transfer”), any Owned Shares, (b) deposit any Owned Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement, or (c) agree (whether or not in writing) to take any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clause (a) or (b).

2

of the Shareholders and to provide for distributions by the Shareholders to their respective beneficiaries in amounts consistent with past practice, provided that the Shareholders shall not be entitled to sell Owned Shares, in the aggregate, in excess of one percent of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock in any three month period.

     Section 1.3     Inconsistent Agreements. Each Shareholder hereby agrees that, prior to the Expiration Time, he, she or it shall not enter into any agreement, contract or understanding with any person directly or indirectly to vote, grant a proxy or power of attorney or give instructions with respect to the voting of such Shareholder’s Owned Shares in any manner which is inconsistent with this Agreement.

Any party to this Agreement may notify any other party of any changes to the address or any of the other details specified in this paragraph; provided, however, that such notification shall only be effective on the date specified in such notice or five (5) business days after the notice is given, whichever is later. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice as of the date of such rejection, refusal or inability to deliver.

     Section 7.3     Amendments, Waivers, Etc. At any time prior to the Expiration Time, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed by the Company, the Purchaser and the Shareholders. The failure of any party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with his, her or its obligations hereunder, shall not constitute a waiver by such party of his, her or its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.

     Section 7.4     Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties.

     Section 7.5     No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any person, other than the parties to this Agreement, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

     Section 7.6     No Partnership, Agency, or Joint Venture. This Agreement is intended to create, and creates, a contractual relationship and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship between the parties hereto.

     Section 7.7     Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the attachment hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

8

     Section 7.8     Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

     Section 7.9     Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

     Section 7.10    Jurisdiction. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or another court sitting in the state of Delaware. The foregoing is in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law, in equity or otherwise. In addition, each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party hereto or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or another court sitting in the state of Delaware. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance applicable law, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

     Section 7.11    Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Shareholder hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right he, she or it may have to a trial by jury in respect of 

9

any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement. Each Shareholder certifies that no representative of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of any such litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver.

     Section 7.12    Construction. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant thereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. References to a person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

     Section 7.13    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more consecutive counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered (by telecopy or otherwise) to the other parties.

          SECTION
2.01. 
Commitments.

           

          (a)  Subject
to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties
herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make, based
on such Lender’s Commitment, Advances to the Borrower on each Advance Date (so
long as the Borrower shall request such Advance as provided below) until the
Commitment Termination Date; provided that no
Advance shall (i) for any Lender at any time, after giving effect thereto and to
the application of the proceeds thereof, result in such Lender’s Credit Exposure
at such time exceeding such Lender’s Commitment at such time and (ii) after
giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result at
any time in the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Credit Exposures at such time
exceeding the Total Commitment then in effect.  Such Advances may be
repaid and amounts repaid may be reborrowed, all in accordance with the terms
hereof.

           

          (b)  The
Borrower will borrow and repay Advances on and after the date hereof and prior
to the Commitment Termination Date subject to the terms, conditions and
limitations set forth herein.

           

          SECTION
2.02. 
Computation
of MTM Exposure.

           

          (a)  By no
later than 7:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Computation Date (unless it
has been prevented from doing so due to technical delay or failure or as a
result of a Market Disruption Event), the Borrower shall determine the MTM
Exposure as of the close of

          

          
            
              
                 

              

              
                15

                
                  

                

              

              
                 

              

            

          

          

          business
on such Business Day.  Promptly after making such determination, it
shall advise the Agent and the Lenders of that determination (each, an “MTM
Notice”) (which MTM Notice shall be provided via email).  If a
Market Disruption Event has occurred, then the Borrower shall, as promptly as
reasonably practicable, determine the MTM Exposure in accordance with the
Disruption Fallbacks and any other relevant provisions of the Commodity
Definitions.  If such determination is prevented due to a technical
delay or failure, the Borrower shall make such determination as promptly as
reasonably practicable after such matter is remedied.  If the Borrower
fails to make such calculation in with the foregoing, then the Agent shall make
such determination in the manner contemplated by Sections 2.02(b) and (c)
below.

           

          (b)  The Agent
shall promptly review each MTM Notice received by it from the Borrower and
advise the Borrower whether it agrees or disagrees with the computation of the
MTM Exposure set forth therein by no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time,
on the first Business Day following the related Computation Date.  In
the event the Agent disagrees (and has a reasonable basis for disagreeing) with
such computation, the parties shall promptly endeavor to resolve such
disagreement. If the parties are unable to resolve such disagreement within one
Business Day, then (i) until such disagreement is resolved, the amount
determined by the Agent shall be effective for purposes hereof and (ii) the
parties shall mutually select a dealer (with respect to commodity related
calculations) or a financial institution (with respect to financial
calculations) that customarily acts as a calculation agent for similar
transactions to calculate such MTM Exposure.  If the parties cannot
agree on a dealer or bank within one (1) Business Day, then each party shall
appoint a dealer or bank and the appointed dealers or banks shall together
appoint a third dealer or bank as calculation agent for making the relevant
determination, and the decision of such party shall be final and binding upon
the parties.  The leading dealers or financial institutions selected
by a party shall not be parties to this Agreement or Affiliates of a party to
this Agreement.

           

          (c)  Without
limiting Section 2.02(a) or (b) above, the Borrower acknowledges that in
reviewing the calculation of the MTM Exposure hereunder, the Agent may use the
services of one or more its affiliated entities and any determination by such
affiliated entity shall be deemed subject to the standard disclaimer relating to
mark-to-market calculations, a copy of which is set forth in Exhibit B
hereto.

           

          (d)  Any
calculation of the MTM Exposure made by either party shall be made in the manner
provided for in the Calculation Agent Determination as if such party was the
“Calculation Agent” referred to therein.

           

          SECTION
2.03. 
Computation
of Advance Amounts.

           

          (a)  The MTM
Exposure shall be calculated as of the close of business on the Computation Date
immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Date MTM
Exposure”).  The amount of the Advance to be made on the
Closing Date shall equal the greater of (i) US$100,000,000 and (ii) the Closing
Date MTM Exposure (the “Initial
Advance”).

           

          (b)  On the
first Business Day after each Computation Date after the Closing Date (each, an
“Availability
Date”), the Agent shall determine whether the Target Advance Level is
greater than the Aggregate Outstanding Advances as of that Computation
Date.  By no later than

          12:00
Noon, New York City time, on each Availability Date (unless it has been
prevented from doing so due to a technical delay or failure or as a result of a
Market Disruption Event), the Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Borrower
(each such notice, an “Availability
Notice”) of the amount, if any, by which such Target Advance Level
exceeds the sum of such Aggregate Outstanding Advances and any Pending Advances
(each such excess, an “Available
Amount”; provided that if there is no such excess, such Available Amount
shall equal zero), which notice may be provided via email.

           

          SECTION
2.04. 
Advances.

           

          (a)  On the
Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the
representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender shall advance to
the Borrower such Lender’s portion, based on its Commitment Percentage, of the
Initial Advance.

           

          (b)  If the
Available Amount determined as of any Availability Date is greater than zero,
then the Borrower may borrow on the Related Advance Date, subject to the terms
and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set
forth, an Advance in an amount up to but not exceeding such Available Amount;
provided that the Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing
Notice”) (which notice must be received by the Agent prior to 12:00 Noon,
New York City time on the first Business Day following such Availability Date)
specifying the amount of such Advance to be borrowed, which amount shall be no
less than $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of such
amount.  Each Borrowing Notice shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit C
attached hereto.

           

          (c)  Subject
to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties
herein set forth, each Lender shall advance to the Borrower such Lender’s
portion, based on its Commitment Percentage, of the Advance made on any Related
Advance Date.  Promptly after receipt of any Borrowing Notice, the
Agent shall notify each Lender and the Borrower of the Advance and such Lender’s
proportionate share thereof.

           

          (d)  All
Advances hereunder shall be made to the Borrower at: account no. 4430004366
Calpine Corporation – Commodity Collateral, ABA no. 122 000 496 at Union Bank of
California, Monterey Park, CA, subject to any alternative Payment , as from time
to time in effect, to the Agent, in which case Advances hereunder shall be made
as provided therein.  Subject to the foregoing, each Lender shall make
its portion of each Advance to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date
thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Agent in New
York, New York, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Agent
shall by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, credit the amounts so received to the
account or accounts specified from time to time in one or more notices delivered
by the Borrower to the Agent or, if an Advance shall not occur on such date
because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return
the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

           

          (e)  Each
Advance shall be made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitment Percentages; provided, however,
that the failure of any Lender to make any Advance shall not in itself relieve
any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood,
however, that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to make any Advance required to be made by such other Lender and each
Lender

          severally
but not jointly shall be obligated to make the Advances provided to be made by
it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its
commitments hereunder and (ii) failure by a Lender to perform any of its
obligations under any of the Credit Documents shall not release any Person from
performance of its obligations under any Credit Document).

           

          (f)  Unless
the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any
Advance that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s
portion of such Advance, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
portion available to the Agent on the date of such Advance in accordance with
subsection (c) and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If and
to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the
Agent, such Lender agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date
such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is
repaid to the Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to the
corresponding amounts comprising such Advance.  If such Lender shall
repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such
Lender’s portion of such Advance for purposes of this Agreement.  If
such Lender’s share of such Advance is not made available to the Agent by such
Lender within three (3) Business Days after demand therefor, the Agent shall
also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per
annum applicable to Advances, on demand, from the Borrower, such recovery to be
without prejudice to the rights of the Borrower against any such
Lender.

Borrower.

           

          On the
Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower shall repay to the Lenders the
Aggregate Outstanding Advances (including all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, accrued Fees and other Obligations incurred in respect
thereof).

           

          SECTION
2.06. 
Payment
Instructions.

           

          From time
to time, the Borrower may establish with the Agent Payment Instructions
regarding the making of Advances hereunder.  So long as any such
Payment Instruction remains in effect, the terms thereof shall supersede any
conflicting terms set forth herein.

           

          SECTION
2.07.

          (a)  The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders (in each
case pro rata according
to the respective Commitments of all such Lenders), a commitment fee (the “Commitment
Fee”) for each day from the Closing Date to the Commitment Termination
Date.  Each Commitment Fee shall be payable by the Borrower (i)
quarterly in arrears on the tenth Business Day following the end of each March,
June, September and December (for the three-month period (or portion thereof)
ended on such day for which no payment has been received) and (ii) on the
Commitment Termination Date (for the period ended on such date for which no
payment has been received pursuant to clause (i)), and shall be computed for
each day during such period at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate
on the applicable portion of the Available Commitment in effect on such
day.

           

          (b)  The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders (in each
case pro rata according
to the respective Commitments of all such Lenders), the Fees as provided in the
Fee Letter; provided that, to the
extent any Fee is required under the Fee Letter as well as under this Agreement
then such payment shall be made by the Borrower without
duplication.

           

          (c)  All Fees
shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Agent for
distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders.  Once paid,
none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

           

          SECTION
2.09. 
Evidence
of Indebtedness.

           

          (a)  Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or
accounts evidencing the indebtedness to such Lender resulting from each Advance
made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and
interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this
Agreement.

           

          (b)  The Agent
shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount and date of each
Advance made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and
payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder
and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from the
Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

          (c)  The
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsections (a) and (b)
above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence
of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure
of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall
not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the
Outstanding Advances in accordance with their terms.  In the event of
any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the
accounts and records of the Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and
records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest
error.

Computation
of Interest.

           

          (a)  Each
Advance shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with
respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Rate applicable to that
Interest Period plus the Spread.

           

          (b)  Interest
shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed over a year of 360
days.

           

          (c)  The Agent
shall compute the amount of interest due for each Interest Period and shall
notify the Borrower of such amount by no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City
time, on each Interest Payment Date.  Notice of such amount may be
provided by email. The Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to
the Borrower a statement sharing the quotations (and, if applicable, the
calculations) used by the Agent in determining the interest rate
hereunder.

of Interest.

           

          (a)  On each
Interest Payment Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of
the Lenders, the amount of interest applicable to the Interest Periods ending on
such Interest Payment Date as computed pursuant to Section 2.10 of this
Agreement.

           

          (b)  If all or
a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Advance or (ii) any interest
payable thereon or any other amount hereunder shall not be paid when due
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue
amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum (the “Default
Rate”) that is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would
be otherwise applicable thereto plus 2.0% or (y) in the case of any overdue
interest or other amounts due hereunder, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, the rate described in Section 2.10(a) plus 2.0% from the date of such
non-payment to the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as
before judgment).

           

          SECTION
2.12. 
Repayments
Prior to the Commitment Termination Date.

           

          (a)  The
Borrower may repay Advances prior to the Commitment Termination Date, without
penalty, in whole or in part, from time to time on and subject to the following
terms and conditions: (i) the Borrower shall give prior written notice (or
telephonic notice, confirmed in writing promptly) to the Agent of its intent to
make such repayment and the amount of such repayment, which notice shall be
given by the Borrower no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time on the
repayment date (which must be a Business Day), which notice shall promptly be
transmitted by the Agent to each Lender, (ii) each repayment shall be in an
aggregate principal

          

          
            
              
                 

              

              
                20

                
                  

                

              

              
                 

              

            

          

          

          amount of
at least US$500,000 and in whole multiples of US$100,000 in excess thereof;
provided that
no partial prepayment shall reduce the Aggregate Outstanding Advances to an
amount less than US$100,000,000, (iii) if the Commitments are not being
concurrently reduced by the amount of such repayment pursuant to Section 2.13(c)
below, then the Borrower shall concurrently with such repayment pay to the Agent
for the benefit of the Lenders a premium equal to 5% of such repayment amount
(each, a “Repayment
Premium”) and (iv) any such repayment pursuant to this Section 2.12 on
any day other than an Interest Payment Date shall be on and subject to
compliance by the Borrower with the applicable provisions of Section
2.18(c).

           

          (b)  In lieu
of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.12 other than on an Interest
Payment Date so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Borrower at its option may deposit with the Agent the amount
required to be repaid and the Advances shall be repaid on the next Interest
Payment Date in the required amount.  Such deposit shall be held by
the Agent in a corporate time deposit account established on terms reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent, earning interest at the then customary rate for
accounts of such type.  Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral
for the Advances to be so prepaid; provided that the
Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the
applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 2.12.

           

          SECTION
2.13. 
Termination and Reduction of
Commitments.

           

          (a)  The
Commitments shall terminate automatically on the Commitment Termination
Date.

           

          (b)  Upon at
least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice to the Agent, the
Borrower may at any time, in whole or in part permanently terminate the
Commitments.  The Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given
pursuant to this subsection (b).

           

          (c)  In
connection with any repayment of any Advances pursuant to Section 2.12 above,
the Borrower may, at its option, permanently reduce the Commitments by the
amount of such repayment (a “Commitment
Reduction”), with each Lender’s Commitment being reduced by its share of
such payment based on its Commitment Percentage; provided that the Borrower
shall notify the Agent of such reduction in the notice of such repayment that it
provides to the Agent pursuant to Section 2.12.

           

          (d)  The
Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the date of
the termination of the Commitments, any Fees accrued through the date of such
termination.

           

          SECTION
2.14. 
Reserve Requirements; Change in
Circumstances.

           

          (a)  Notwithstanding
any other provision herein, if after the date of this Agreement any change in
applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof
by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof (whether or not having the force of law) shall (i) subject any Lender to
any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Advance
made by it or change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender hereunder
(except for changes in respect of taxes on the overall net income of such Lender
(as the case may be) or its lending office imposed by the jurisdiction in which
such Lender’s (as the case may be) principal executive office or lending office
is located),

          

          
            
              
                 

              

              
                21

                
                  

                

              

              
                 

              

            

          

          

          (ii)
shall result in the imposition, modification or applicability of any reserve,
special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
the account of or credit extended by any Lender or (iii) shall result in the
imposition on any Lender or the London interbank market of any other condition
affecting this Agreement, such Lender’s Commitment or any Advance 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 Outstanding Advances or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender
to be material, then the Borrower shall, upon receipt of the notice and
certificate provided for in subsection (c) below promptly pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

           

          (b)  If any
Lender shall have determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any law,
rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any
of the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the
foregoing by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any
Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or any Lender’s holding company
with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having
the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, 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, such Lender’s Commitment or the Advances made by such Lender
pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding
company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking
into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed
by such Lender to be material, then from time to time such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender for any such reduction suffered will be
paid to such Lender by the Borrower.  It is acknowledged that this
Agreement is being entered into by the Lenders on the understanding that the
Lenders will be required to maintain capital against their Commitments, under
currently applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidelines.  In
the event the Lenders shall otherwise determine that such understanding is
incorrect, it is agreed that the Lenders will be entitled to make claims under
this subsection (b) based upon market requirements prevailing on the date hereof
for commitments under comparable credit facilities against which capital is
required to be maintained.

           

          (c)  A
certificate of each Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be
necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in
subsection (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, and containing an explanation
in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have
been determined, shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent)
and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay
each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it
within 10 days after its receipt of the same.  Each Lender shall give
prompt notice to the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring
after the date hereof, that it has determined will require compensation by the
Borrower pursuant to this Section; provided,
however, that failure
by such Lender to give such notice shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s right to demand compensation hereunder.

          

          
            
              
                 

              

              
                22

                
                  

                

              

              
                 

              

            

          

          

          (d)  Failure
on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or
reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital
with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right
to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period; provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such
Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim
have a retroactive effect, then such 180 days period shall be extended to
include the period of such retroactive effect.  The obligations of the
Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.  The
protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any
possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule,
regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or
been imposed.

           

          (e)  Each
Lender agrees that it will designate a different lending office if such
designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation
or any payment under Section 2.19 hereof and will not, in the reasonable
judgment of such Lender be disadvantageous to such Lender.

           

          SECTION
2.15. 
Change in
Legality.

           

          (a)  Notwithstanding
any other provision herein, if any change in any law or regulation or in the
interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the
administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender
to make or maintain any Advance or to give effect to its obligations as
contemplated hereby with respect to any Advance, then, by written notice to the
Borrower and to the Agent, such Lender may:

           

          (i)  declare
that Advances will not thereafter be made by such Lender (any Lender delivering
such a declaration hereby agreeing to withdraw such declaration promptly upon
determining that such event of illegality no longer exists); and

           

          (ii)  require
that all outstanding Advances made by it be subject to a rate equal to the costs
of funds of such Lender as reasonably determined by such Lender.

           

          (b)  For
purposes of this Section, a notice by any Lender shall be effective as to each
Advance, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable
to such Advance; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date
of receipt.

           

          SECTION
2.16. 
Pro Rata
Treatment.

           

          Except as
required under Sections 2.14 and 2.17, each Advance, each repayment of any
Advance, each payment of interest on the Advances and each payment of the Fees
shall be allocated pro rata
among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if
such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the
respective principal amounts of their Outstanding Advances).  Each
Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Advance to be made
hereunder, the Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of
such Advance to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

          

          
            
              
                 

              

              
                23

                
                  

                

              

              
                 

              

            

          

          

          SECTION
2.17. 
Sharing of
Setoffs.

           

          (a)  Except to
the extent that this Agreement, any other Credit Document or a court order
expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the
Lenders hereunder, if any Lender (a “Benefited
Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations
owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment or participation made
pursuant to Section 9.05), or receive any collateral in respect thereof
(whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set off, pursuant to events or
proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7(f)), or otherwise), in a
greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other
Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such
Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating
interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or
shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as
shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or
benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided that if all
or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from
such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price
and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without
interest.

           

          SECTION
2.18. 
Payments.

           

          (a)  The
Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any
Advance or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder from an account in the United
States not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in
dollars to the Agent in immediately available funds.  Each Payment
shall be made without off-set, deduction or counterclaim; provided that the
foregoing shall not constitute a relinquishment or waiver of the Borrower’s
rights to any independent claim that the Borrower may have against the Agent or
any Lender.

           

          (b)  Any
payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m., New York City
time (other than payments made by the Agent in accordance with Section 2.04(d)),
shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business
Day.  Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on
Advance or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder shall become due, or otherwise
would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on
the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case
be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

           

          (c)  The
Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless
from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence
of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of Advances after the
Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any
prepayment of Advances after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a
prepayment of Advances on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period
with respect thereto.  Such indemnification may include an amount
equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have
accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, for the period from the
date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow to the last day of such
Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period
that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the
applicable rate of interest for such Advances provided for herein

          

          
            
              
                 

              

              
                24

                
                  

                

              

              
                 

              

            

          

          

          over (ii)
the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have
accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a
comparable period with leading banks in the London interbank
market.  A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this
Section submitted to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) by any Lender shall
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than
180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such
Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the
circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 180
days period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive
effect.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment of the Advances and all other amounts payable
hereunder.

           

          SECTION
2.19. 
Taxes.

           

          (a)  All
payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding
for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or
hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental
Authority, excluding net income taxes, gross receipt taxes (imposed in lieu of
net income taxes) and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes)
imposed on the Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection
between the Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental
Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Agent
or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or
received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Credit
Document).  If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded
Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts
payable to the Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the
Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the
Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes)
interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the
amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall
not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect
to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to
comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (f) of this Section or (ii)
that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such
Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the
extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of
assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such
Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.

           

          (b)  In
addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.

           

          (c)  Whenever
any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly
as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Agent for its own account
or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy
of an original official receipt received, if any, by the Borrower or other
documentary evidence showing payment

          

          
            
              
                 

              

              
                25

                
                  

                

              

              
                 

              

            

          

          

          thereof.  If
the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the
appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent the required
receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify
the Agent or the Lenders for any such taxes and for any incremental taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a
result of any such failure.

           

          (d)  Each
Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non U.S.
Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (or, in the case of
a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have
been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,
Form W-8ECI or W-8IMY (and all necessary attachments), or, in the case of a Non
U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section
871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a
statement substantially in the form of Exhibit G to the Existing Facility Credit
Agreement and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors
thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non U.S. Lender claiming
complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on
all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents.  Such forms shall be delivered by each Non U.S. Lender on
or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any
Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related
participation).  In addition, each Non U.S. Lender shall deliver such
forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously
delivered by such Non U.S. Lender.  Each Non-U.S. Lender shall
promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a
position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any
other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such
purpose).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a
Non U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this
paragraph that such Non U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

           

          (e)  A Lender
that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax
under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any
treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under
this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the
time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower, 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, provided that such
Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation
and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not
materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

           

          (f)  Any
Lender that is a United States person, as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the
Internal Revenue Code, and is not an exempt recipient within the meaning of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-4(c), shall deliver to the Borrower (with a
copy to the Agent) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor form that such person is entitled to
provide at such time in order to comply with United States back-up withholding
requirements.

           

          (g)  If the
Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a
refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been

          The
Borrower represents and warrants to the Agent and to each Lender as follows on
the Closing Date and on each date required pursuant to Article IV:

           

          SECTION
3.01. 
Existence;
Compliance with Law.

Party (a) is duly organized, validly existing and (to the extent such concept is
applicable) in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and
operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct
the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a
foreign corporation or other organization and (to the extent such concept is
applicable) in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its
ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business
requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of
Law, except, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (a) through (d), to
the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

           

          SECTION
3.02. 
Power;
Authorizations; Enforceable Obligations.

           

          Each Loan
Party has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and
perform the Credit Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the
Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder.  Each Loan Party
has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and, in
the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.  No consent or authorization of, filing
with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or
any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of credit
hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Credit Documents, except (i) that
have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) the filings
made in respect of the

          

          
            
              
                 

              

              
                27

                
                  

                

              

              
                 

              

            

          

          

          Security
Documents.  Each Credit Document has been duly executed and delivered
on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto.  This Agreement
constitutes, and each other Credit Document upon execution will constitute, a
legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto,
enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether
enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

           

          SECTION
3.03. 
No
Legal Bar.

           

          The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not
violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Loan Party
and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on
any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of
Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the
Security Documents).  No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation
applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

           

          SECTION

financial information) or any other document, certificate or statement furnished
by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, for
use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
other Credit Documents, contained as of the date such statement, information,
document or certificate was so furnished, taken as a whole and in light of the
circumstances in which made, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or
therein not misleading.  The projections and pro forma financial
information contained in the materials referenced above were prepared in good
faith based on assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be
reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such
financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact
and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial
information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a
material amount.  There is no fact known to any Loan Party that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been
expressly disclosed herein, in the other Credit Documents, in the Confidential
Information Memorandum or in any other documents, certificates and statements
furnished to the Agent and the Lenders for use in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents.

being understood that the release of Collateral from the Security Documents or
the discharge of a Guarantor therefrom shall not be construed (x) as any of the

Agreement ceasing to be in full force and effect);

           

          (k)  the Lien
subordination provisions or any other provision of the Collateral Agency and
Intercreditor Agreement shall cease for any reason to be valid (other than by
its express terms) and, in the case of any provision of the Collateral Agency
and Intercreditor Agreement other than the Lien subordination provisions, the
result thereof is that the interests of the Lenders are materially and adversely
affected, or the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall assert in writing
that the Lien subordination provisions or any such other provision of the
Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement shall not for any reason be valid
(other than by its express terms); or

any
Subordinated Indebtedness or the guarantees thereof shall cease, for any reason,
to be validly subordinated to the Obligations or the obligations of the
Subsidiary Guarantors under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, as the case
may be, as provided in any Subordinated Indebtedness Agreement, or the Borrower,
any Affiliate of the Borrower, the trustee in respect of the Subordinated
Indebtedness or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Subordinated Indebtedness shall so assert; or

           

          (m)  there
shall occur a Change of Control; or

           

          (n)  all or
any portion of the Indebtedness under the Existing Facility Credit Agreement or
the “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Facility Credit Agreement)
shall become or be declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity, or
there shall be a default in making any payment of principal or interest on the
scheduled or original due date of such Indebtedness beyond the period of grace,
if any, provided under the Existing Facility Credit Agreement or the “Loan
Documents” (as defined in the Existing Facility Credit Agreement);

           

          then, and
in every such event, and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such
event, the Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall, by notice to
the Borrower, take one or all of the following actions, at the same or different
times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments, including without limitation the
right of the Borrower to request and receive Advances; and (ii) declare the
Advances of the Borrower then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in
whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Advances so declared to be due
and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees
and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become
forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower,
anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided that in the
case of any event described in subsection (f) above affecting the Borrower, the
right of the Borrower to request and receive Advances shall automatically
terminate and the principal of the Advances then outstanding of the Borrower,
together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other
liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder shall automatically become due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

respect to this Agreement, which constitutes a “Series of First Lien Debt”
thereunder.

           

          (d)  As used

an Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.01(c) above, the Payment Agent
with respect to the Payment Agent Duties and the Lead Lender with respect to the
actions, decisions and functions hereunder for which it is responsible and (ii)
from and after such appointment of an Administrative Agent, such Administrative
Agent.

           

          (e)  GSCP, by

Certain Matters.  No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender
for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability,
collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other document,

          statements
or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or
any other documents furnished or made by any Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf
of the Borrower to any Lender in connection with this Agreement or any other
document, instrument or agreement executed for the benefit of any Agent or a
Lender in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of the Borrower or
any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall any Agent
be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any
of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in this
Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement executed for the
benefit of any Agent or a Lender in connection with this Agreement or as to the
use of the proceeds of the Advances or as to the existence or possible existence
of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to
the foregoing.  Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Agent shall have liability arising from confirmations of the
amount of outstanding Advances or the component amounts thereof.

           

          (b)  Exculpatory
Provisions.  No Agent nor any of its officers, partners,
directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken
or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other
document, instrument or agreement executed for the benefit of any Agent or a
Lender in connection with this Agreement except to the extent caused by such
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  Each
Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action
(including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any other
document, instrument or agreement executed for the benefit of any Agent or a
Lender in connection with this Agreement or from the exercise of any power,
discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until
such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from the Required
Lenders and, upon receipt of such instructions from the Required Lenders, such
Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or
to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such
instructions.  Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing,
(i) any Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or
Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on
opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the Borrower),
accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no
Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result
of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder
or any other document, instrument or agreement executed for the benefit of any
Agent or a Lender in connection with this Agreement in accordance with the
instructions of Required Lenders.

           

          (c)  Delegation of
Duties.  Any Agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other document,
instrument or agreement executed for the benefit of any Agent or a Lender in
connection with this Agreement, by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Agent. Any 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
Affiliates.  The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of
this Section 8.02 and of Section 8.04 shall apply to any the Affiliates of the
Agent and shall apply to their respective activities as Agent. All of the
rights, benefits, and privileges (including the

          exculpatory
and indemnification provisions) of this Section 8.02 and of Section 8.04 shall
apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and
shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and
Affiliates were named herein.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by an Agent, (i) such
sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect
to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and
rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a
third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce
such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to
indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person,
against the Borrower and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges
(including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be
modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such
sub-agent shall only have obligations to the Agent and not to the Borrower,
Lender or any other Person and no Borrower, Lender or any other Person shall
have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or
otherwise, against such sub-agent.

           

          SECTION
8.03. 
Lenders’
Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment.

           

          (a)  Each
Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent
investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower in
connection with Advances hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to
make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower.  No
Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing
basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders
or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect
thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of Advances or at
any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with
respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to
Lenders.

           

          (b)  Each
Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment and
Acceptance, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to
and approved this Agreement and any other document, instrument or agreement
executed for the benefit of any Agent or a Lender in connection with this
Agreement and each other document required to be approved by any Agent or the
Required Lenders, as applicable, on the Closing Date.

           

          SECTION
8.04. 
Right
to Indemnity.

           

          Each
Lender, in proportion to its Commitment, severally agrees to indemnify each
Agent, to the extent that such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by the
Borrower, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees
and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its
powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or any other
document, instrument or agreement executed for the benefit of any Agent or a
Lender in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in its capacity as such
Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other
document, instrument or agreement executed for the benefit of any Agent or a
Lender in connection with this Agreement; provided, no Lender
shall be liable for any

          

          
            
              
                 

              

              
                66

                
                  

                

              

              
                 

              

            

          

          

          portion
of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  If any indemnity
furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be
insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity
and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such
additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event
shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any
liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost,
expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Commitment; and provided further, this
sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent
against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment,
suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately
preceding sentence.

           

          SECTION
8.05. 
Withholding
Taxes.

           

          To the
extent required by any applicable law, any Agent may withhold from any payment
to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding
tax.  If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the
United States asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold tax from
amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form
was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to
notify the Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from,
or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such
Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or
indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or
interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated
internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

           

          SECTION
8.06. 
Successor
Agent.

           

          The
Administrative Agent shall have the right to resign at any time by giving 30
days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an
instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent and signed by the Required Lenders.  The
Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a financial institution to
act as the Administrative Agent hereunder, subject to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Required Lenders and approval by the Borrower (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Administrative
Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the earlier of (i) the acceptance
of such successor Administrative Agent by the Borrower and the Required Lenders
or (ii) the thirtieth day after such notice of resignation.  Upon any
such notice of resignation or any such removal, if a successor Administrative
Agent has not already been appointed by the retiring Administrative Agent, the
Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to the
Borrower and receipt of approval by the Borrower (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor Administrative
Agent.  If neither the Required Lenders nor the Administrative Agent
have appointed a successor Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall be
deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent.  Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor
Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and

          

          
            
              
                 

              

              
                67

                
                  

                

              

              
                 

              

            

          

          

          become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or
removed Administrative Agent and such retiring or removed Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  After
any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder
as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Administrative Agent hereunder.

IX

           

          MISCELLANEOUS

           

          SECTION
9.01. 
Certain
Modifications.

           

          (a)  Subject
to Section 9.01(b) below, if at any time that the Existing Facility Credit
Agreement remains in effect and any obligations are outstanding thereunder, any
amendment, modification, supplement, consent or waiver becomes effective
thereunder (or under the “Loan Documents” as defined therein) with respect to
any representation or warranty that corresponds to a representation or warranty
set forth in Article III hereof (it being understood and agreed that the
representations or warranties in Sections 3.02 and 3.03 to the extent relating
to the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement do not correspond to
any representation or warranty under the Existing Facility Credit Agreement), or
any affirmative covenant or negative covenant that corresponds to an affirmative
covenant or negative covenant, respectively, set forth in Article V or Article
VI hereof, respectively, or any default or event of default with respect to the
Credit Documents that corresponds to an Event of Default set forth in Sections
7.01(b), 7.01(c) or 7.01(d) hereof, or, in each case, any defined term used in
such representation, warranty, covenant, default or event of default, then (i)
the Borrower shall cause the Existing Facility Administrative Agent to notify
the Agent hereunder of such amendment, modification, supplement, consent or
waiver and (ii) upon such notice being given, and without any further action by
the Agent or any Lender hereunder, the representation, warranty, affirmative
covenant, negative covenant, default or event of default or definition hereunder
that corresponds to the representation, warranty, affirmative covenant, negative
covenant, default or event of default or definition (as applicable) under the
Existing Facility Credit Agreement affected by such amendment, modification,
supplement, consent or waiver shall be deemed to be subject to an identical
amendment, modification, supplement, consent or waiver for all purposes of this
Agreement; provided that, to the extent any such amendment, modification,
supplement, consent or waiver shall by its terms directly and disproportionately
disadvantage the Lenders hereunder relative to the Existing Facility Lenders or
affects any of the Excluded Provisions in a manner that either the Agent or the
Required Lenders reasonably deem to be adverse to the Lenders hereunder, then
(notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.01(a) to the contrary) such
amendment, modification, supplement, consent or waiver shall not become
effective for purposes of this Agreement without the prior consent of the
Required Lenders hereunder.

           

          (b)  If the
Existing Facility Credit Agreement terminates prior to the termination of this
Agreement, then (i) except as provided in clause (ii) and (iii) below, the
representations, warranties and covenants (and defined  terms used
therein) as in effect hereunder at the time the Existing Facility Credit
Agreement terminates (including any defined terms incorporated from the Existing
Facility Credit Agreement) shall continue in effect notwithstanding such
termination

          

          
            
              
                 

              

              
                68

                
                  

                

              

              
                 

              

            

          

          

          of the
Existing Facility Credit Agreement and, for such purpose, any terms, conditions
or definitions incorporated by reference from the Existing Facility Credit
Agreement shall be treated as if set forth in full in this Agreement at the time
of such termination, (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section
9.01(a), any amendment, modification, supplement, consent or waiver affecting
any of such representations, warranties or covenants (and defined terms used
herein) in the Existing Facility Credit Agreement that is entered into or
provided in connection with or in anticipation of the termination of the
Existing Facility Credit Agreement shall not become effective with respect to
the corresponding representations, warranties, covenants and definitions under
this Agreement without the prior consent of the Required Lenders hereunder and
(iii) references in such representations, warranties and covenants (and defined
terms used therein) to “Loan Documents”, “Existing Facility Administrative
Agent”, “Existing Facility Lenders” and “Existing Facility Credit Agreement”
shall instead be deemed to refer to “Credit Documents”, “Agent”, “Lenders” and
“this Agreement” and any similar conforming changes shall be deemed to be made
to implement the intent of this provision, including, by way of example, deeming
any requirement for the consent of the Existing Facility Lenders to be a
requirement for the consent of the Required Lenders.  In addition, the
Borrower agrees that it will execute such further documents or instruments as
the Lenders reasonably request to better or further implement the intent of this
provision.

           

          (c)  If any
fee of any nature is paid directly or indirectly by one or more Loan Parties to
the Existing Facility Administrative Agent or the Existing Facility Lenders (or
a class thereof) in consideration for any amendment, modification, supplement,
consent or waiver that pursuant to Section 9.01(a) results in an identical
amendment, modification, supplement, consent or waiver to a corresponding
provision of this Agreement, an "equivalent fee" shall be payable to the Agent
or Lenders hereunder (as the case may be) to the extent such fee relates to such
identical amendment, modification, supplement, consent or waiver, with the
"equivalent" amount of such fee to be determined by multiplying the applicable
amount of such fee paid in connection with the Existing Facility Credit
Agreement by the ratio of (x) the total amount of Advances and unutilized
Commitments over (y) the total amount of loans, letters of credit and unutilized
commitments to extend credit under the Existing Facility Credit
Agreement.

           

          (d)  The
provisions of Section 9.01(a) above shall not affect any provisions of this
Agreement other than the representations and warranties, affirmative covenants,
negative covenants and definitions described in such Section and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall in no way limit (i) the
Borrower’s obligations under such unaffected provisions (including its
obligations to make payments as and when due hereunder), (ii) the right of the
Lenders to vote on all amendments, modifications, supplements, consents, waivers
and other matters relating to such unaffected provisions, including, without
limitation, the provisions referred to in Sections 9.04, 9.05, 9.06 and 9.09 or
(iii) any express rights to vote as a Series of First Lien Debt under (and as
such term is defined in) the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor
Agreement.

associated with such electronic distribution, except to the extent caused by the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Agent.

           

          (iii)  The
Platform and any Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as
available”.  None of the Agents or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (the “Agent
Affiliates”) warrant the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of the
Approved Electronic Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims
liability for errors or omissions in the Platform and the Approved Electronic
Communications.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or
statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other
code defects is made by the Agent Affiliates in connection with the Platform or
the Approved Electronic Communications.

           

          (iv)  The
Borrower, each of the Lenders, and the Agents agree that the Agent may, but
shall not be obligated to, store any Approved Electronic Communications on the
Platform in accordance with Agent’s customary document retention procedures and
policies.

shall bind and inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns.

           

          (b)  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 (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of
its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each
Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such
consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this
Section.

           

          (c)  (i)           Subject
to the conditions set forth in paragraph (c)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to
one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”)

all or a portion of its Commitments and the Advances at the time owing to it)
with the prior written consent of:

           

          (A)  the
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that no
consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an
affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and

           

          (B)  the
Agent, provided
that no consent of the Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an
affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

           

          (ii)  Assignments
shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

           

          (A)  except in
the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitments or Advances hereunder, the amount of the Commitments or Advances of
the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date
the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to
the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the
Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent, provided that
(1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be
aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if
any;

           

          (B)  (1) the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment
and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and
(2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to
the Agent; and

           

          (C)  the
Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent a
questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to
whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public
information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or
their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such
information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and
applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

          For the
purposes of this Section 9.05, “Approved
Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in
making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of
credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or
managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an
entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a
Lender.

           

          (iii)  Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (c)(iv) below, from
and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the
Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance 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 2.14, 2.15, 2.19 and 9.06). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this Section 9.05 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 paragraph (c) of this Section.

           

          (iv)  The
Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at
one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and
a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and
the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Advances 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 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 or any Lender at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Any assignment of any Loan
shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made
in the Register.

           

          (v)  Upon its
receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance (executed via an electronic settlement
system acceptable to the Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Agent,
manually)), by a transferor Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an
Assignee that is not then a Lender, by the Agent and the Borrower to the extent
required under paragraph (c) above) together with payment to the
Administrative Agent of a recordation and processing fee of $3,500 (which fee
may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent),
the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and
Acceptance, (ii) on the effective date of such transfer determined pursuant
thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and
(iii) give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the transferor
Lender, the Assignee and the Borrower.

           

          (d)          
(i)        Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all
or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or

          a portion
of its Commitments and the Advances owing to it); provided that
(A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Agent and
the other 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 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 may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that
(1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant
to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 9.1 and
(2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (d)(ii) of this
Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections
2.15, 2.15 and 2.19 to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17(b)
as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.17(a)
as though it were a Lender.

           

          (ii)  A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16
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. Any
Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of
Section 2.19
unless such Participant complies with Section 2.19(d).

           

          (e)  Any
Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender,
including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve
Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a
security interest; provided that no such
pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of
its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such
Lender as a party hereto.

           

          (f)      
[Reserved.]

           

          (g)  Subject
to Section 9.16,
the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Transferee and any
prospective Transferee (in each case which agrees to comply with the provisions
of Section 9.16 or
confidentiality requirements no less restrictive on such prospective transferee
than those set forth in Section 9.16)
any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the
Borrower and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on
behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document
or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in
connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its
Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

Expenses;
Indemnity.

           

          The
Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse each Agent and each Lender for all its
out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the
development, preparation and execution of, any amendment, supplement or
modification to this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other
documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, in the case of the
Agents, the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Agents and professionals engaged by the Agents, and filing and recording fees
and expenses, (b) to pay or reimburse each Agent and each Lender for all its
costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the enforcement or
preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and
any such other documents following the occurrence and during the continuance of
a Default or an Event of Default, including without limitation, the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agents and each Lender and
professionals engaged by the Agents and the Lenders, (c) to pay, and indemnify
and hold harmless each Lender, the Lead Arranger and each Agent from, any and
all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or
resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which
may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and
delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions
contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver
or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Credit Documents
and any such other documents and (d) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless
each Lender, the Lead Arranger, each Agent and each of their respective
Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”)
from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement,
performance, preservation of rights and administration of this Agreement, the
other Credit Documents or the use of the proceeds of the Advances, including
without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the violation of,
noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the
operations of the Loan Parties or any of their respective properties and the
reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions
or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Credit
Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “indemnified
liabilities”), provided that the
Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to
indemnified liabilities determined by the final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of such Indemnitee’s affiliates or any of
such Indemnitee’s directors, officers, employees or agents; provided, further, that the
Borrower shall in no event be responsible for punitive damages to any Indemnitee
pursuant to this Section 9.06 except such punitive damages required to be paid
by such Indemnitee in respect of any indemnified liabilities.  Without
limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and
hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for
contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims,
demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses
of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of
them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.  To
the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party nor any of their
respective Subsidiaries shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, on
behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, any claim against each Lender, the Lead
Arranger, each Agent and their

          respective
affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory
of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as
opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based
on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising
out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this
Agreement or any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or the use of the
proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection
therewith, and each Loan Party hereby waives, releases and agrees, on behalf of
themselves and each of their respective Subsidiaries, not to sue upon any such
claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or
suspected to exist in its favor.  All amounts due under this Section
9.06 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand
therefor.  Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section
9.06 shall be submitted to the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower (Telecopy
No. 408-995-0505), at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 9.02
(with copies (which shall not constitute notice) to the General Counsel of the
Borrower and Kirkland & Ellis LLP at the respective addresses set forth in
Section 9.02), or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated
by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent.  The
agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Advances and all other
amounts payable hereunder.

          SECTION
9.09. 
Waivers;
Amendment.

           

          (a)  No
failure or delay of any Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of
steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and
remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise
have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any
departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by subsection (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given.  No notice or demand on the Borrower or any Subsidiary in any
case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances.

           

          (b)  Neither
this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified
except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the
Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however,
that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the
maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date, or date for the payment of
any interest on, any Advance or date for the payment of any Fee, or waive or
excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on
any Advance

          (except
that waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates
shall require only the consent of the Required Lenders), without the prior
written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (ii)
increase the Commitment of any Lender or decrease any Fee payable to any Lender
without the prior written consent of such Lender, or (iii) release all or
substantially all of the liens, guarantees or collateral provided hereunder
without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected
thereby; provided, further,
that (A) no such agreement shall amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.16,
Section 2.17 or Section 9.04(i), the provisions of this Section or the
definition of the “Required Lenders”, without the prior written consent of each
Lender and (B) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the
rights or duties of any Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of
such Agent.  Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or
modification authorized by this Section, and any consent by any Lender or any
Agent pursuant to this Section shall bind any assignee of its rights and
interests hereunder.

           

          (c)  The
Borrower shall have the right to replace any non-consenting Lender in connection
with a waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or
of all Lenders affected thereby (including the matters referred to in clauses
(i), (ii), (iii), (A) and (B) of Section 9.08(b) above) pursuant to the
following terms and conditions of this Section 9.08(c).  If the
Borrower wishes to replace any such non-consenting Lender, it shall give written
notice to such Lender and the Agent of its desire to replace such Lender, which
notice shall identify the waiver, amendment or modification to which such Lender
was unwilling to consent and the party that the Borrower proposes as the
assignee of such Lender’s Commitment (which may, but is not required to, be an
existing Lender).  Promptly after receiving such notice, the Agent
shall fix a Business Day on which such non-consenting Lender and the proposed
assignee shall execute an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to the
non-consenting Lender’s Commitment.  The Borrower shall be responsible
for paying the assignment fee due pursuant to Section 9.04(b)
above.  On the effective date of such assignment, the assignee of such
Commitment shall purchase at par (a) all principal, interest, fees and other
amounts owing to the replaced Lender through that date and (b) such replaced
Lender shall be released from its future obligations under this Agreement and
any other related agreement or any document entered into in connection herewith
as if such Lender had assigned its Commitment to such assignee pursuant to
Section 9.05.

           

          (d)  The
Borrower shall have the right to replace any Lender that (i) is affected in the
manner described in Section 2.15 and as a result thereof any of the actions
described in such Section is required to be taken or (ii) becomes a Defaulting
Lender, pursuant to the following terms and conditions of this Section 9.08(d);
provided that
(x) such replacement does not conflict with any applicable law and (y) no Event
of Default under Section 7(a) or 7(f) shall have occurred or be continuing at
the time of such replacement.  If the Borrower wishes to replace any
such Lender, it shall give written notice to such Lender and the Agent of its
desire to replace such Lender, which notice shall identify the reason for such
replacement and the party that the Borrower proposes as the assignee of such
Lender’s Commitment (which may, but is not required to, be an existing
Lender).  Promptly after receiving such notice, the Agent shall fix a
Business Day on which such replaced Lender and the proposed assignee shall

anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.09, if the Agent and the
Borrower have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a
technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Credit
Documents, then the Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such
provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action
or consent of any other party to any Credit Document if the same is not objected
to in writing by the Required Lenders within ten Business Days following receipt
of notice thereof

Entire Agreement.

           

          This
Agreement (including the schedules, exhibits and annexes hereto) and the Fee
Letter represent the entire contract among the parties relative to the subject
matter hereof and thereof.  Any previous agreement, whether written or
oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, is superseded
by this Agreement, the Fee Letter and the Letter Agreement.  There are
no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.  Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than
the parties hereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by
reason of this Agreement.

           

          SECTION
9.11. 
Severability.

           

          In the
event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any
way be affected or impaired thereby.  The parties shall endeavor in
good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.

Counterparts.

           

          This

one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section
9.04.

9.14. 
Interest Rate
Limitation.

           

          (a)  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate,
together with all fees and charges which are treated as interest under
applicable law

          (collectively
the “Charges”),
as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith,
or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender,
shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum
Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved
by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable
on the Outstanding Advances of such Lender, together with all Charges payable to
such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate.

           

          (b)  If the
amount of interest, together with all Charges, payable for the account of any
Lender in respect of any interest computation period is reduced pursuant to
subsection (a) above and the amount of interest, together with all Charges,
payable for such Lender’s account in respect of any subsequent interest
computation period, would be less than the Maximum Rate, then the amount of
interest, together with all Charges, payable for such Lender’s account in
respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be automatically increased to such Maximum Rate;
provided that
at no time shall the aggregate amount by which interest paid for the account of
any Lender has been increased pursuant to this subsection (b) exceed the
aggregate amount by which interest, together with all Charges, paid for its
account has theretofore been reduced pursuant to subsection (a)
above.

           

          SECTION
9.15. 
Jurisdiction;
Venue.

           

          (a)  The
Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it
may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or thereafter
have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement in any New York State court or Federal court of the
United States of America sitting in New York City.  Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States
of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof,
in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or,
to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Subject to the
foregoing and to subsection (b) below, nothing in this Agreement shall affect
any right that any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement against any other party hereto in the
courts of any jurisdiction.

           

          (b)  The
Borrower hereby agrees to waive its respective rights to a jury trial of any
claim or cause of action based upon or arising under this Agreement, any
dealings between them relating to the subject matter of this transaction or the
lender/borrower relationship that is being established.  The scope of
this waiver is intended to be all encompassing of any and all disputes that may
be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this transaction,
including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other
common law and statutory claims.  The Borrower acknowledges that this
waiver is a material inducement to enter into a

          business
relationship, that it has already relied on this waiver in entering into this
agreement, and that each will continue to rely on this waiver in its related
future dealings.  The Borrower further warrants and represents that it
has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel and that it knowingly and
voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal
counsel.  This waiver is irrevocable, meaning that it may not be
modified either orally or in writing (other than by a mutual written waiver
specifically referring to this Section 9.14(b) and executed by each of the
parties hereto), and this waiver shall apply to any subsequent amendments,
renewals, supplements or modifications hereto or to any other documents or
agreements relating to the advances made hereunder.  In the event of
litigation, this agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the
court.

           

          SECTION
9.16. 
Confidentiality.

           

          Each
Agent, the Lead Arranger and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all
non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party, the Agent or any Lender
pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement that is designated by the
provider thereof as confidential; provided that nothing
herein shall prevent any Agent, the Arranger or any Lender from disclosing any
such information (a) to the Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate
thereof, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with provisions no less
restrictive than this Section, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any
direct or indirect counterparty to any Swap Agreement (or any professional
advisor to such counterparty), (c) to its employees, directors, agents,
attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its
affiliates, (d) upon the request or demand, or in accordance with the
requirements (including reporting requirements), of any Governmental Authority
having jurisdiction over such Lender, provided that such
Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the applicable Loan
Party of such disclosure, (e) in response to any order of any court or
other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any
Requirement of Law or other legal process, provided that such
Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the applicable Loan
Party of such disclosure, (f) if requested or required to do so in
connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has been
publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Agreement, (h) to the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or
any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information
about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with
respect to such Lender, or (i) in connection with the exercise of any
remedy hereunder or under any other Credit Document.

           

          The
Borrower acknowledges that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders
(Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with
respect to the Borrower, its subsidiaries or their securities) (each, a “Public
Lender”) and, if documents required to be delivered pursuant to Sections
5.01 or 5.02 or otherwise are being distributed through the Platform, the
Borrower agrees to designate those documents or other information that are
suitable for delivery to the Public Lenders as such. Any document that the
Borrower has indicated contains non-public information shall not be posted on
that portion of the Platform designated for such Public Lenders. If the Borrower
has not indicated whether a document delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01 or 5.02
contains non-public information, the Agent reserves the right to post such
document or notice solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Lenders
who wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to the Borrower,
its Subsidiaries and their securities. Each such Lender confirms to the Borrower
and the Agent that

          (i) it
has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and (ii) it will handle such material non-public information in
accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state
securities laws.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that copies of
the Credit Documents may be distributed to Public Lenders (unless the Borrower
promptly notifies the Agent that any such document contains material non-public
information with respect to the Borrower or its securities).

           

          SECTION
9.17. 
Electronic
Communications.

           

          (a)  The
Borrower hereby agrees that it will provide to the Agent all information,
documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Agent under
this Agreement (collectively, the “Communications”)

faxing the Communications to (212) 357-4597, or to such other addressee as the
Agent may notify the Borrower from time to time.  In addition, the
Borrower agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Agent in the
manner otherwise specified in this Agreement, but only to the extent reasonably
requested by the Agent.

           

          (b)  The Agent
agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Agent at its e-mail address
set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the
Agent for purposes of this Agreement.  Each Lender agrees to notify
the Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time
of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by
electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail
address.

           

          (c)  Nothing
herein shall prejudice the right of any Agent or any Lender to give any notice
or other communication pursuant to this Agreement in any other manner specified
in this Agreement.

9.18. 
Patriot
Act.

           

          Each
Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies
each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan
Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and
other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in
accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such
information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by each Lender and
the Agent to maintain compliance with the Patriot Act.

Electronic
Execution of Assignments.

           

          The words
“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment
and Acceptance 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

9.20. 
No
Fiduciary Duty.

           

          Each
Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of
this paragraph, the “Lenders”),
may have economic interests that conflict with those of the
Borrower.  The Borrower agrees that nothing in this Agreement or any
agreement or instrument related hereto or otherwise will be deemed to create an
advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty
between the Lenders and the Borrower, its stockholders or its
affiliates.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the agreements and instruments
related hereto are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on
the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and
with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Lenders is acting
solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its
management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person, (iii) no Lender has
assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto
(irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its affiliates has advised or is
currently advising the Borrower on other matters) or any other obligation to the
Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and the
agreements and instruments related hereto and (iv) the Borrower has consulted
its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed
appropriate.  The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it is
responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such
transactions and the process leading thereto.  The Borrower agrees
that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any
nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in
connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

9.21. 
Trading
Acknowledgment.

           

          The
Borrower hereby acknowledges that, with respect to Original Lenders, (i) one or
more of their respective affiliates (“Trading
Affiliates”) are merchants of crude oil, petroleum products, natural gas,
electricity and other commodities and may, from time to time, be dealing with
prospective counterparties, or pursuing trading or hedging strategies, in
connection with aspects of such Trading Affiliates’ business that are unrelated
to the Facility and that such dealings and such trading or hedging strategies
may be different from or opposite to those being pursued by, for, or in
connection with, the Facility or by or for the Borrower or the Borrower’s
account, (ii) nothing herein or in the other Credit Documents shall be construed
to prevent any such Trading Affiliate, or any of its partners, officers,
employees or affiliates, in any way from purchasing, selling or otherwise
trading in crude oil, petroleum products, natural gas or any other commodity for
its or their own account or for the account of others, whether prior to,
simultaneously with or subsequent to the term of the Facility and (iii) such
trading and hedging activities may be in conflict with or have an adverse effect
on the trading or hedging activities of the Borrower or transactions to which
the Borrower is a party (including transactions that may be referenced in the
Facility).

          Disclaimer
for Mark-to-Market Calculations

           

          The
attached information represents the “MTM Exposure” as of the indicated Business
Day that is being calculated for purposes of Section 2.02(b) of the Commodity
Collateral Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of July 8, 2008, among the
Borrower, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”)
and GSCP, as Payment Agent for the Lenders and Lead Arranger (the “Credit
Agreement”).  This information is being provided for your
consideration and not for the purpose of soliciting or recommending any action
by you.  You should carefully review the explanations that are included
with the attached information and ensure that you understand the information
that is being provided.  Any questions regarding the nature of this
information should be raised promptly with your Goldman Sachs contact
person.

           

          If a
valuation listed in the attached information is designated as an “unwind” price,
then it represents the price at which Goldman Sachs or one of its affiliates
(“Goldman
Sachs”) is prepared to unwind the position.  If a valuation is
designated as a “mid-market” valuation, then it represents either (1) Goldman
Sachs’ good faith estimate of the mid-market value of the position, based on
estimated or actual bids and offers for the positions, or (2) a “mid-market”
price generated by proprietary valuation models utilized by Goldman Sachs or its
affiliates.  If designated as an “approximate mid-current rate,” then a
valuation represents Goldman Sachs’ good faith estimate of the mid-market fixed
rate of a new transaction with the same terms and conditions and the same
remaining term to maturity.  If a valuation is not designated as an
“unwind” or “mid-market” price or an “approximate mid-current rate,” then it has
been derived through the use of another methodology selected by Goldman Sachs at
its discretion.  Any valuation that is not designated as an “unwind” does
not reflect actual trading prices at any time and should not be relied upon as
the value at which a position may be unwound or terminated.  In determining
the valuation of positions through the use of any of the foregoing
methodologies, Goldman Sachs might not take into account certain factors,
including, without limitation, the creditworthiness of the parties, funding
costs, portfolio level adjustments and liquidity adjustments based on
size.  These factors, taken together with the size of the position and any
leverage embedded in the position, may affect the valuation.  For example,
if a valuation is designated as “without delta,” the bid/offer spread on the
relevant position is likely to be wider than would be the case if the valuation
was provided “with delta.”

           

          Any
valuations presented in the attached information represent Goldman Sachs’
assessment of the value of the particular position only as of the relevant
market close on the date indicated, unless otherwise specified, and any such
valuation is not applicable at any other time.  If other times are
specified, they are approximate only.

           

          If a
valuation listed in the attached information is expressed in terms of a position
of a specified size, then the valuation is applicable only with respect to that
size.  The valuation does not indicate a price at which Goldman Sachs would
be willing to enter into a transaction with respect to any other size, nor does
it reflect a valuation that relates to a position or transaction of any other
size.  If no size is specified with respect to an unwind valuation for a
position, then the valuation indicated refers to the full amount of the
position.  The valuations listed in the attached information do not
necessarily reflect your entire portfolio.

          

          
            
              
                 

              

              
                 

                
                  

                

              

              
                 

              

            

          

          

          The
information presented in this document is based on assumptions, historical
information and pricing data that Goldman Sachs in its discretion considers
appropriate.  Goldman Sachs does not represent that this information is
accurate, complete or current, and Goldman Sachs has no liability with respect
thereto.  This information and the valuation methodologies used are subject
to change without notice and Goldman Sachs has no obligation to update you as to
any such changes.  This information may not reflect valuations you would
receive from other dealers, or even from affiliates or other business units of
Goldman Sachs, and does not necessarily reflect valuations you would obtain by
using pricing models available from Goldman Sachs or valuations included in the
books and records of Goldman Sachs.  This information is intended only as a
reference and should not be relied upon without further evaluation by you, in
consultation with your professional advisors, for the maintenance of your books
