THE LOANS; AMOUNT AND TERMS

 

Section 2.1                                   Revolving
Loans.

 

35

 

(a)                                  Revolving
Commitment.  During the Revolver
Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving
Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make revolving credit loans in
Dollars (“Revolving Loans”)
to the Borrowers from time to time in an aggregate principal amount of up to ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000) (as such
aggregate maximum amount may be reduced from time to time as provided in Section 2.6,
the “Revolving Committed Amount”)
for the purposes hereinafter set forth; provided, however, that (i) with
regard to each Revolving Lender individually, the sum of such Revolving Lender’s
Revolving Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Revolving Loans shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Commitment and (ii) with regard to the Revolving Lenders collectively, the
sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans shall not
exceed the Revolving Committed Amount then in effect.  No Revolving Loan shall be made by any
Revolving Lender if (i) such Revolving Loan and the Revolving Loan
Collateral therefor are not approved by the Administrative Agent in its
discretion, (ii) before or after giving effect to such Revolving Loan, the
Availability is or would be negative and/or (iii) the conditions to
Extensions of Credit in Section 4.2 are not satisfied.  Revolving Loans may be repaid and reborrowed
in accordance with the provisions hereof and will consist only of LIBOR Rate
Loans; provided, however, that if the LIBOR Rate is not
available, all LIBOR Rate Loans shall accrue interest at the Alternate Base
Rate until such time as the LIBOR Rate is available.  LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made by each
Revolving Lender at its LIBOR Lending Office.

 

(b)                                 Revolving
Loan Borrowings.

 

(i)                                     Notice
of Borrowing.

 

(1)                                  The
Borrowers may request Revolving Loans for the purpose of financing Eligible
Assets approved by the Administrative Agent in its discretion and for no other
purpose.  The Borrowers shall request a
Revolving Loan borrowing by delivering a written Notice of Borrowing (or
telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a written Notice
of Borrowing, which delivery may be by Electronic Transmission) to the
Administrative Agent along with a Compliance Certificate, Borrower Asset
Schedule and Underwriting Package for the related Eligible Asset(s) to be
financed not later than (A) twelve (12) Business Days for Non-Wachovia
Assets and (B) seven (7) Business Days for Wachovia Assets from the
delivery of the applicable Notice of Borrowing. 
Each such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) that
a Revolving Loan is requested, (B) the date of the requested borrowing
(which shall be a Business Day), (C) the aggregate principal amount to be
borrowed, (D) the applicable Borrower and the Eligible Asset to be
financed and (E) a calculation of the Availability.

 

(2)                                  The
Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower in writing of the
Administrative Agent’s tentative approval (and the proposed Allocated Revolving
Loan Amount for each Eligible Asset) or final disapproval of each proposed
Eligible Asset within, (i) in the case of Non–Wachovia Assets, ten (10) Business
Days (or such greater time as the Administrative Agent determines in its
discretion for multiple assets or assets with multiple Mortgaged Properties)
and, (ii) in the case of Wachovia Assets, five (5) Business Days (or
such greater time as the Administrative Agent determines in its discretion for
multiple assets or assets with multiple Mortgaged Properties) after its receipt
of the Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower Asset Schedule, the Compliance
Certificate, the complete Underwriting Package and any supplemental requests
(requested orally or in writing) relating to such proposed Eligible Asset.  Unless the Administrative Agent notifies the
Borrowers in writing of the Administrative Agent’s approval of such proposed
Eligible Asset within the applicable period, the Administrative Agent shall be 

 

36

 

deemed not to have
approved such proposed Eligible Asset. 
The Administrative Agent in its discretion may waive, shorten or
increase any of the applicable time periods for the review of proposed Eligible
Assets or the delivery of documents.

 

(3)                                  Provided
that the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders has tentatively agreed
to finance the Eligible Asset described in the Notice of Borrowing and the
proposed Allocated Revolving Loan Amount is acceptable to the applicable
Borrower, the applicable Borrower shall forward to the Administrative Agent,
via Electronic Transmission, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the
requested Borrowing Date (which must be received by the Administrative Agent no
later than 10:00 a.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the requested
Borrowing Date) an executed confirmation for each Eligible Asset, substantially
in the form of Exhibit 2.1(b) attached hereto (a “Confirmation”).  The Confirmation shall specify the Allocated
Revolving Loan Amount for the related Eligible Asset and any additional terms
or conditions of the related Revolving Loan not inconsistent with this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, whether the related Mortgage Asset is
one of multiple Mortgage Assets being pledged as a part of a portfolio or
package.  The Confirmation shall be
irrevocable.  The delivery of the
Confirmation to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be a certification
by the applicable Borrower that, among other things, all conditions precedent
to such Revolving Loan set forth in Articles II and IV have been satisfied
(except the Administrative Agent’s consent). 
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, upon receipt of the Confirmation,
the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may, in the Administrative
Agent’s discretion, agree to enter into the requested Revolving Loan with
respect to an Eligible Asset, and such agreement shall be evidenced by the
Administrative Agent’s signature on the Confirmation.  Any Confirmation executed by the
Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have been received by the applicable
Borrower on the date actually received by the applicable Borrower.

 

(4)                                  Upon receipt of the Confirmation executed by
the Administrative Agent, (i) the
applicable Borrower shall release or cause to be released to the Custodian in
accordance with the Custodial Agreement (1) in the case of a Non–Table
Funded Mortgage Asset, no later than 3:00 p.m. two (2) Business
Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, and (2) in the case of a Table
Funded Mortgage Asset, no later than 1:00 p.m. three (3) Business
Days following the applicable Borrowing Date, the Mortgage Asset File
pertaining to each Eligible Asset to be financed by the Revolving Lenders, and (ii) the applicable Borrower shall
deliver to the Custodian, in connection with the applicable delivery under
clause (i) above, a Custodial Identification Certificate and a
Mortgage Asset File Checklist, if and to the extent required under Section 3.2
of the Custodial Agreement.

 

(5)                                  Each
Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive
evidence of the terms agreed between the Administrative Agent and the
applicable Borrower with respect to the Revolving Loan to which the
Confirmation relates, and the applicable Borrower’s acceptance of the related
proceeds shall constitute the applicable Borrower’s agreement to the terms of
such Confirmation.  It is the intention
of the parties that each Confirmation shall not be separate from this Agreement
but shall be made a part of this Agreement. 
To the extent of a conflict between this Agreement and the related
Confirmation, the Confirmation shall control.

 

(6)                                  Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the
Custodian shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower
by 11:00 a.m. on the Borrowing Date 

 

37

 

for each Non–Table Funded Mortgage Asset a Trust Receipt (along with a
completed Mortgage Asset File Checklist attached thereto) and an Asset Schedule
and Exception Report relating to the Basic Mortgage Asset Documents with
respect to the Eligible Assets that the applicable Borrower has requested the
Revolving Lenders to finance on such Borrowing Date.  With respect to each Table Funded Mortgage
Asset, the applicable Borrower shall cause the Bailee to deliver to the
Custodian with a copy to the Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m.
on the Borrowing Date by facsimile the related Basic Mortgage Asset Documents,
the insured closing letter (if any), the escrow instructions (if any), a fully
executed Bailee Agreement, a Bailee’s Trust Receipt issued by the Bailee
thereunder and such other evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in
its discretion that all documents necessary to effect a pledge of the related
Eligible Asset and the related Revolving Loan Collateral to the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Lenders have been delivered to Bailee.  With respect to each Table Funded Mortgage
Asset, the Custodian shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Table Funded
Trust Receipt no later than 1:00 p.m. on the Borrowing Date, which
documents shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its
discretion.  In the case of a Table Funded
Mortgage Asset, on the second (2nd) Business Day following the Custodian’s
receipt of the related Mortgage Loan Documents comprising the Mortgage Asset
File, the Custodian shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Trust Receipt
(along with a completed Mortgage Asset File Checklist attached thereto)
certifying its receipt of the documents required to be delivered pursuant to
the Custodial Agreement, together with an Asset Schedule and Exception Report
relating to the Basic Mortgage Asset Documents, with any Exceptions identified
by the Custodian as of the date and time of delivery of such Asset Schedule and
Exception Report.  The Custodian shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Asset Schedule and Exception Report
relating to all of the Mortgage Loan Documents within five (5) Business
Days of its receipt of the related Mortgage Asset Files.

 

(7)                                  Once
the Confirmation is executed by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative
Agent shall give notice to each Revolving Lender at least one (1) Business
Day prior to the Borrowing Date of each such Revolving Lender’s share thereof.

 

(ii)                                  [Reserved].

 

(iii)                               Advances.  Each Revolving Lender will make its Revolving
Commitment Percentage of each Revolving Loan borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Borrower at the office
of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 10.2, or at such other
office as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing, by 1:00 p.m.
on the Borrowing Date, in Dollars and in funds immediately available to the
Administrative Agent.  Such borrowing
will then be made available to the applicable Borrower by 4:00 p.m. on the
Borrowing Date by the Administrative Agent by crediting the account of the
applicable Borrower on the books of such office (or such other account that the
Borrowers may designate in writing to the Administrative Agent) with the
aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the
Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

 

(c)                                  Repayment.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement,
Revolving Loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed during the Revolver
Commitment Period.  All outstanding
amounts under the Revolving Loans shall be due and payable in full and all
related Interest Rate Protection Agreements shall be terminated and all amounts
due thereunder shall be paid in full on the Maturity Date, 

 

38

 

unless accelerated
sooner pursuant to Section 7.2.  The
Borrowers shall have the right to repay Revolving Loans in whole or in part
from time to time in accordance with the terms and restrictions set forth in Section 2.7;
provided, however; that any related Interest Rate Protection
Agreements shall be terminated in whole or in part, as applicable, and any
amounts due thereunder paid in full. 
Such repayment will be applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans and
Revolving Loan Collateral in accordance with Section 2.10(a)(ii); provided,
however, that a repayment in full of a specific Revolving Loan will be
applied to the Revolving Loan Collateral securing such Loan.

 

(d)                                 Interest.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.8,
Revolving Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the sum of the
LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Percentage.  Interest on Revolving Loans shall be payable
in arrears on each Payment Date.

 

(e)                                  Revolving
Notes; Covenant to Pay.  The
Borrowers’ obligation to pay each Revolving Lender shall be evidenced by this
Agreement and, upon such Revolving Lender’s request, by a duly executed
promissory note of the Borrowers to such Revolving Lender in substantially the
form of Exhibit 2.1(e).  The
Borrowers covenant and agree to pay the Revolving Loans in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.

 

(f)                                    Confirmations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 2.1 and notwithstanding any oral or verbal approval of an
Extension of Credit by the Administrative Agent, no Extension of Credit shall
be deemed approved until a Confirmation or revised Confirmation, as applicable,
has been executed by the Administrative Agent. 
Each pledge of a Mortgage Asset, regardless of whether a Loan is made to
the Borrowers in connection therewith, shall be evidenced by a Confirmation.

 

Section 2.2                                   Term Loan.

 

(a)                                  Term
Loan.  Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof (including, without limitation, Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of this
Agreement) and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth
herein, each Term Loan Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make
available to the Borrowers (through the Administrative Agent) (i) on the
Closing Date such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of a term
loan in Dollars (the “Initial Term
Loan”) in the aggregate principal amount of SEVENTY-EIGHT MILLION NINE HUNDRED ELEVEN THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED
SEVENTY-NINE DOLLARS AND NINETY-ONE CENTS ($78,911,179.91) and (ii) from
time to time following the Closing Date such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan
Commitment Percentage of a term loan in Dollars (each such term loan, a “Delayed
Draw Term Loan”, and collectively, the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”),
in the case of each such term loan in an amount equal to the amount drawn on
any Non-Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(iii);
provided that, the aggregate amount of the Initial Term Loan and the
initial amounts of all Delayed Draw Term Loans (the Delayed Draw Term Loan and
the Initial Term Loan, the “Term Loan”), shall not exceed an amount
equal to ONE HUNDRED FIFTEEN MILLION SIX HUNDRED EIGHTY
THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY-NINE DOLLARS AND ONE CENT ($115,680,289.01)
(the “Term Loan Committed Amount”).  The Term Loan Collateral and the Allocated
Term Loan Amount for each item of Term Loan Collateral shall be evidenced by
Confirmations executed by the applicable Borrower and the Administrative
Agent.  Upon receipt by the
Administrative Agent of the proceeds of the Term Loan, such proceeds will then
be made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent by crediting the
account of the Borrowers on the books of the office of the Administrative Agent
specified in Section 10.2, or at such other office as the Borrowers may
designate in writing, with the aggregate of such proceeds made available to the
Administrative Agent by the Term Loan Lenders and in like funds as received by
the Administrative Agent (or by crediting such other account(s) as
directed by the Borrowers).  Term Loans
must be repaid in accordance with the provisions hereof and will consist only
of 

 

39

 

LIBOR Rate Loans; provided,
however, that if the LIBOR Rate is not available, all LIBOR Rate Loans
shall accrue interest at the Alternate Base Rate until such time as the LIBOR
Rate is available.  LIBOR Rate Loans
shall be made by each Term Loan Lender at its LIBOR Lending Office.

 

(b)                                 Repayment
of Term Loan.  All outstanding
amounts under the Term Loan shall be due and payable in full and all related
Interest Rate Protection Agreements shall be terminated and all amounts due
thereunder shall be paid in full on the Maturity Date unless accelerated sooner
pursuant to Section 7.2.  The
Borrowers shall have the right to repay Term Loans in whole or in part from
time to time in accordance with the terms and restrictions set forth in Section 2.7;
provided, however, that any related Interest Rate Protection
Agreements shall be terminated in whole or in part, as applicable, and any
amounts due thereunder paid in full. 
Such repayment will be applied to the outstanding Term Loans and Term
Loan Collateral in accordance with Section 2.10(a)(ii); provided, however,
that a repayment in full of a specific Term Loan will be applied to the Term
Loan Collateral securing such Loan. 
Amounts repaid or prepaid on the Term Loan may not be reborrowed.  Any repayment hereunder will be applied to
the outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.7(b)(v)(1)(A) until
the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans has been paid in full.

 

(c)                                  Interest
on the Term Loan.  Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.8, the Term Loan shall bear interest at a per
annum rate equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable
Percentage.  Interest on the Term Loan
shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date.

 

(d)                                 Term
Loan Notes; Covenant to Pay.  The
Borrowers’ obligation to pay each Term Loan Lender shall be evidenced by this
Agreement and, upon such Term Loan Lender’s request, by a duly executed
promissory note of the Borrowers to such Term Loan Lender in substantially the
form of Exhibit 2.2(d).  The
Borrowers covenant and agree to pay the Term Loan in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.

 

(e)                                  Confirmations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 2.2 and notwithstanding any oral or verbal approval of an
Extension of Credit by the Administrative Agent, no Extension of Credit shall
be deemed approved until a Confirmation or revised Confirmation, as applicable,
has been executed by the Administrative Agent.  
Each pledge of a Mortgage Asset, regardless of whether a Loan is made to
the Borrowers in connection therewith, shall be evidenced by a
Confirmation.  Each Confirmation,
together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the terms
agreed between the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower with
respect to the Term Loan to which the Confirmation relates, and the applicable
Borrower’s acceptance of the related proceeds shall constitute the applicable
Borrower’s agreement to the terms of such Confirmation.  It is the intention of the parties that each
Confirmation shall not be separate from this Agreement but shall be made a part
of this Agreement.  To the extent of a
conflict between this Agreement and the related Confirmation, the Confirmation
shall control.

amortization, if any, of each Letter of Credit described therein and
collectively, as of the Closing Date, have an aggregate face value of
$52,959,719.47 (such Letters of Credit set forth on Schedule 2.3(b), “Cash
Collateralized Letters of Credit”) or (B) are Cash Collateralized
prior to the Maturity Date in an amount equal to the undrawn face amount of
such Letter of Credit (any Letter of Credit which has been Cash Collateralized,
pursuant to this Section 2.3(a)(ii)(B) following the Closing Date shall be
considered a “Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit” and shall be added to Schedule
2.3(b) as such).

 

(iii)                               A

the earliest of (i) the expiration date for such Letters of Credit and (ii) the
date the entire amount available under such Letters of Credit are drawn and
such drawings are repaid; provided that, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 2.3(a)(iii), with respect to any Letter of Credit
having an expiration date following the Maturity Date (such a Letter of Credit,
a “Post-Term Loan Maturity LOC”), in no event shall the obligations of
the L/C Participants to purchase participations in the obligations of the
Issuing Lender under a Post-Term Loan Maturity LOC pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(i) expire
or terminate prior to the Business Day following the expiration, cancellation
or termination of the last remaining outstanding Post-Term Loan Maturity LOC.

any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement
of Law.

 

(b)                                 L/C

(i)                                     The
Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C
Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit
hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and
hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk,
an undivided interest in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each
Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder and the amounts paid by the Issuing
Lender thereunder equal to such L/C Participant’s Term Loan Commitment
Percentage.  Each L/C Participant
unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if an
amount is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not
reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at

thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

 

(ii)                                  Each
L/C Participant’s obligation to accept and purchase for such L/C Participant’s
own account and risk, an undivided interest in the Issuing Lender’s obligations
and rights under each Letter of Credit issued or provided by such Issuing
Lender and the amounts paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder equal to such L/C
Participant’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without
limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
right which such L/C Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, the
Borrowers, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the
occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change
in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Credit Party, (iv) any
breach of this Agreement by any Credit Party or any other Lender or (v) any
other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing.

 

(iii)                               If
any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender
pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(i) in respect of any unreimbursed portion
of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to
the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is
due (provided that such demand for payment is received prior to 2:00 p.m.,
New York City time), such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on
demand an amount equal to the product of (1) such amount, times, (2) the
daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate, as quoted by the Issuing Lender,
during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the
date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender,
times, (3) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that
elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360.  If any such amount required to be paid by any
L/C Participant pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(i) is not in fact made
available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business
Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled
to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest
thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum equal to the ABR
Default Rate.  A certificate of the
Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts
owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error.

 

(iv)                              Whenever,
at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of
Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such
payment in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(i), the Issuing Lender receives
any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the
Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral applied thereto by the
Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing
Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided,
however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing
Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C
Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously
distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

 

(c)                                  Reimbursement
Obligations of the Borrower.

 

(i)                                     Upon
receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing
or demand for payment under such Letter of Credit the Issuing Lender shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers of the date and
amount thereof.  The responsibility of
the Issuing Lender to the Borrowers in connection with any draft presented for
payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation
expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that
the documents (including 

 

42

 

each draft)
delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are
in conformity with such Letter of Credit. 
Each Lender and the Borrowers agree that the responsibility of the
Issuing Lender to the Borrowers in connection with any amount presented for
payment under any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of the Borrowers shall, in
addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of
Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft)
delivered by or on behalf of the beneficiary under such Letter of Credit in
connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of
Credit.  In addition, each Lender and the
Borrowers agree that, in paying any drawing or demand for payment under any
Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any document presented in connection
with such drawing or demand for payment or the authority of the Person
executing or delivering the same. The Borrowers agree to reimburse the Issuing
Lender through the Administrative Agent on the third Business Day following the
receipt of such notice for the amount of (1) such amount so paid and (2) any
Taxes and any reasonable fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by
the Issuing Lender in connection therewith at the Administrative Agent’s
address for notices specified herein in Dollars and in immediately available
funds (such amount that has not been reimbursed by the Borrowers being, the “Unreimbursed
Amount”); provided that, for any Cash Collateralized Letter of
Credit, the Borrowers may request such reimbursement to be made with the Cash
Collateral posted with respect to such Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit.

 

(ii)                                  Interest
shall be payable on any and all Unreimbursed Amounts from the date such amounts
become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until
payment in full (either in cash or upon the making of a Term Loan) at the rate
per annum equal to the ABR Default Rate.

 

(iii)                               Each
drawing under any Letter of Credit that is not timely reimbursed by the
Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.3(d)(i) shall (unless an event of the
type described in Section 7.1(g) shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to the Borrowers, in which case the procedures
specified in Section 2.3(b) for funding by L/C Participants shall
apply) constitute a request by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for a
borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2 of a Term Loan in the amount equal to
the Unreimbursed Amount of such Letter of Credit.  The Borrowing Date with respect to such
borrowing shall be the date of such drawing.

 

(d)                                 Obligations
Absolute.

 

(i)                                     The
Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 2.3 shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off,
counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrowers may have or have had
against the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, any beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit or any other Person.

 

(ii)                                  The
Borrowers also agree with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not
be responsible for, and the Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligations under Section 2.3(c)(i) shall
not be affected by, among other things, (i) the validity or genuineness of
documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in
fact prove to be invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged, (ii) any
dispute between or among the Borrowers and any beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, (iii) any
claims whatsoever of the Borrowers against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit
or any such transferee, (iv) any change in the time, manner and place of
payment of, or in any other term of all or any of the Obligations of the
Borrowers in respect of any Letter of Credit or any amendment or waiver or any
consent to departure from the terms of any Letter of Credit or any document
executed or delivered in connection with the issuance or payment thereof, or (v) 

 

43

 

any payment by the
Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit against presentation of any document or
certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit, or any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit to
any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other
representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of any
Letter of Credit, including arising in connection with any proceeding of the
type described in Section 7.1(g).

 

(iii)                               The
Issuing Lender shall not be liable for (i) any error, omission,
interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or
advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit; (ii) any
error in translation or interpretation of technical terms; (iii) the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iv) the failure of any beneficiary
or any transferee of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions
required in order to draw upon any Letter of Credit; or (v) any other
consequences arising from causes beyond the Issuing Lender’s or the Issuing
Lender’s correspondents’ control.

 

(iv)                              The
Borrowers agree that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or
in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if
done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance
with the standards of care specified in the UCC, shall be binding on the
Borrowers and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the
Borrowers.

 

(e)                                  Letter
of Credit Payments.  If any draft
shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender
shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the date and amount thereof.  The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to
the Borrowers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any
Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly
provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the
documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in
connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

 

(f)                                    Neither
the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall have any liability, obligation,
or responsibility whatsoever with respect to a Borrower’s use of the proceeds of
the Letters of Credit.

 

Section 2.4                                   Extension of
Maturity Date.

 

Not
less than sixty (60) days, but not more than ninety (90) days, prior to the
Maturity Date, the Borrowers may request in writing that the Lenders extend the
Maturity Date for an additional year (and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly give the Lenders notice of any such request).  Such request to extend the Maturity Date
shall be granted so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Borrowers and the Guarantors are in
compliance with all financial covenants contained in the Credit Documents, (iii) no
Collateral is in a Collateral Default, (iv) the weighted daily Average
Advance Rate for the Term Loan and the Revolving Loan during the time period
from the Closing Date until the date of the determination thereof is not
greater than 60%, (v) no Deficit exists and (vi) the Borrowers pay
any extension fees due under the Fee and Pricing Letter.

 

Section 2.5                                   Fees.

 

The
Borrowers shall pay all fees provided for in the Fee and Pricing Letter to the
Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent in accordance therewith.

 

44

 

Section 2.6                                   Commitment
Reductions.

 

(a)                                  Voluntary
Reductions.  The Borrowers shall have
the right to terminate or permanently reduce the unused portion of the
Revolving Committed Amount at any time or from time to time upon not less than
thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent
(which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable) of each such
termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof
and the amount of any such reduction which shall be in a minimum amount of
$10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall be
irrevocable and effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent; provided
that no such reduction or termination shall be permitted if after giving effect
thereto, and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective
date thereof, (i) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Revolving Loans would exceed the applicable Revolving Committed Amount then in
effect or (ii) the applicable Availability would be negative.  In the event that the aggregate outstanding
principal balance of all Loans hereunder is, or is at any time requested by the
Borrowers to be, less than $100,000,000, the outstanding principal balance of
the Loans may be reduced to $0 at the election of the Administrative Agent upon
five (5) days advance written notice to the Borrowers, whereupon the Maturity
Date shall be deemed to have occurred and all amounts outstanding under the
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be then due and payable.

 

(b)                                 Maturity
Date.  The Commitments shall
automatically terminate on the Maturity Date unless accelerated sooner pursuant
to Section 7.2 hereof.

 

Section 2.7                                   Prepayments.

 

(a)                                  Optional
Prepayments.  The Borrowers shall
have the right to prepay the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans in whole or in
part from time to time; provided, however, that any related
Interest Rate Protection Agreements shall be terminated in whole or in part, as
applicable, and any amounts due thereunder paid in full.  The Borrowers shall give three Business Days’
irrevocable notice of prepayment to the Administrative Agent (which shall
notify the Lenders and each Affiliated Hedge Counterparty thereof as soon as
practicable).  To the extent that the
Borrowers elect to prepay the Term Loans, amounts prepaid under this Section
shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10(a)(ii).  To the extent the Borrowers elect to prepay
the Revolving Loans, amounts prepaid under this Section shall be applied in
accordance with Section 2.10(a)(ii). 
Within the foregoing parameters, prepayments under this Section shall be
applied to LIBOR Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities.  All prepayments under this Section shall be
subject to Section 2.13, but otherwise without premium or penalty.  Interest on the principal amount prepaid
shall be payable on the next occurring Payment Date that would have occurred
had such loan not been prepaid or, at the request of the Administrative Agent,
interest on the principal amount prepaid shall be payable on any date that a
prepayment is made hereunder through the date of prepayment.

 

(b)                                 Mandatory
Prepayments.

 

(i)                                     Availability
and Revolving Committed Amount.

 

(A)                              Availability.  The Administrative Agent may calculate
Availability on any day.  If Availability
is negative on any day, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its
discretion, the Borrowers shall, immediately upon notice from the
Administrative Agent and, in any event, within one (1) Business Day upon notice
from the Administrative Agent, prepay the Revolving Loans in cash in an amount
determined by the Administrative Agent so that, after giving effect to such
payment, the Availability will not be negative.

 

45

 

(B)                                Revolving
Loan Committed Amount.  If at any
time after the Closing Date, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Revolving Loans shall exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, the
Borrowers shall immediately upon notice from the Administrative Agent and, in
any event, within one (1) Business Day upon notice from the Administrative
Agent, prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such
excess; provided, that any related Interest Rate Protection Agreements
shall be terminated in whole or in part, as applicable, and any amounts due
thereunder paid in full.

 

(ii)                                  Reduction
of Asset Value Prepayment.   The
terms and provisions governing mandatory prepayments in connection with
reductions in the Asset Value of the Collateral are set forth in the Fee and
Pricing Letter and are hereby incorporated by reference.

 

(iii)                               Defaulted Collateral
Prepayment.  To the extent any (A) Term
Loan Collateral is in a Collateral Default, the Borrowers shall prepay the Term
Loans, within one (1) Business Day of such Collateral Default, in an
amount equal to Allocated Term Loan Amount for such item of defaulted
Collateral which shall be applied to such defaulted Collateral and (B) Revolving
Loan Collateral is in a Collateral Default, the Borrowers shall prepay the
outstanding Revolving Loans, within one (1) Business Day of such
Collateral Default, in an amount equal to Allocated Revolving Loan Amount for
such item of defaulted Collateral which shall be applied to such defaulted
Collateral; provided, further, that any related Interest Rate
Protection Agreements shall be terminated in whole or in part, as applicable,
and any amounts due thereunder paid in full.

 

(iv)                              Collateral
Release Prepayment.  The terms and
provisions governing mandatory prepayments in connection with repayments,
prepayments and/or reductions of the Loans and/or under the Collateral and the
releases of Collateral are set forth in the Fee and Pricing Letter and are
hereby incorporated by reference.

 

(v)                                 Application
of Mandatory Prepayments.

 

(1)                                  Unless
otherwise set forth in this Section 2.7, all amounts required to be paid
pursuant to this Section shall be applied as follows: (A) first, to
the outstanding Term Loans and Term Loan Collateral, as the Administrative
Agent may elect in its discretion, in each case until the outstanding principal
amount of the Term Loans has been paid and full and (B) second, to the
outstanding Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Collateral in such manner as the
Administrative Agent may elect in its discretion until the outstanding
principal amount of the Revolving Loans has been paid in full; provided
that in either case, any related Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be
terminated in whole or in part, as applicable, and any amounts due thereunder paid
in full.  Within the parameters of the
applications set forth above, prepayments shall be applied to LIBOR Rate Loans
in direct order of Interest Period maturities.

 

(2)                                  All
amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be
deposited in the Collection Account and shall be accompanied by any applicable
costs incurred pursuant to Section 2.13 (if any) and any interest on the
principal amount through the date of prepayment.

 

(c)                                  Junior/Senior
Positions.  Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Borrowers pledge
to the Administrative Agent (whether simultaneously or on separate occasions)
the senior and junior positions with respect to certain Commercial Real Estate,
and the Loans with respect to such Eligible Asset(s) that are senior in
priority have been repaid or prepaid by

 

46

 

the Borrowers or
the related Obligors, (i) the Asset Value of the related junior–most
Eligible Asset(s) shall be reduced to zero (0) and (ii) the
Administrative Agent shall not release its Lien on such Eligible Asset(s) (including
any Income related thereto) that are senior in priority to the related junior–most
Eligible Asset(s) that the Administrative Agent continues to have a Lien
on (regardless of whether the outstanding Allocated Revolving Loan Amount or
Allocated Term Loan Amount, as applicable, and related amounts due have been
paid in full) until the related junior–most Eligible Asset(s) is repaid or
prepaid and the outstanding Allocated Revolving Loan Amount or Allocated Term
Loan Amount, as applicable, for such junior-most Eligible Asset plus any
accrued and unpaid interest and any related breakage costs under Section 2.13
are paid in full; provided, however, if (A) the Loans with
respect to the senior position are repaid due to repayments or prepayments by
the related Obligor in accordance with the Underlying Mortgage Loan, (B) the
Administrative Agent has reevaluated the remaining related junior–most Eligible
Asset(s), including, without limitation, a reassessment and possible
redetermination of the Asset Value of such Eligible Asset, and, based on the
reevaluation, the Administrative Agent is satisfied in its discretion with
continuing to hold such junior–most Eligible Asset(s) as Collateral as is
or upon certain specified conditions, including, without limitation, assigning
a new Asset Value to such Eligible Asset, which approval shall be in writing to
be effective, and (C) there are no Events of Default or Defaults
outstanding (each to be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate), then the
Administrative Agent will consent in writing to and effect the release of the
senior Eligible Asset from the Collateral and not reduce the Asset Value of the
related junior-most Eligible Asset to zero (0).

 

(d)                                 Hedging
Obligations Unaffected.  Subject to
the payment of any amounts due and payable, including any termination payments
owing in connection with any prepayment under this Section 2.7, any
repayment or prepayment made pursuant to this Section shall not affect the
Borrowers’ obligation to continue to make payments under any Interest Rate
Protection Agreement, which shall each remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding such repayment or prepayment, subject to the terms of such
Interest Rate Protection Agreements.

 

Section 2.8                                   Default Rate
and Payment Dates.

 

(a)                                  (i) If
all or a portion of the principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loan shall not be
paid when due, such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which
is equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the sum of the Applicable
Percentage and 5.0% (the “ABR
Default Rate”) or (ii) if any interest payable on the
principal amount of any Loan or any fee or other amount payable 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 which
is equal to the ABR Default Rate, in each case from the date of such
non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before
judgment).  Upon the occurrence, and
during the continuance, of any other Event of Default hereunder, at the option
of the Required Lenders, the principal of and, to the extent permitted by
Requirements of Law, interest on the Loans and any other amounts owing
hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall bear interest, payable on
demand, at a per annum rate which is (A) in the case of principal, the
rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 5.0% or (B) in
the case of interest, fees or other amounts, the ABR Default Rate (after as
well as before judgment).

 

(b)                                 Interest
on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date; provided
that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section shall
be payable from time to time on demand.

 

Section 2.9                                   Computation
of Interest and Fees; Usury.

 

(a)                                  All
fees, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be calculated on
the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as

 

47

 

practicable notify
the Borrowers and the Lenders of each determination of a LIBOR Rate on the
Business Day of the determination thereof. 
Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the
Alternate Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the
day on which such change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become
effective.  The Administrative Agent
shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the
effective date and the amount of each such change.

 

(b)                                 Each
determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers
and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.  The Administrative Agent shall, at the
request of the Borrowers, deliver to the Borrowers a statement showing the
computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate.

 

(c)                                  It
is the intent of the Lenders and the Credit Parties to conform to and contract
in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in
effect.  All agreements between the
Lenders and the Credit Parties are hereby limited by the provisions of this
subsection which shall override and control all such agreements, whether now
existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral.  In no way, nor in any event or contingency
(including, but not limited to, prepayment or acceleration of the maturity of
any Obligation), shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged,
or received under this Agreement, under the Notes or otherwise, exceed the
maximum nonusurious amount permissible under Requirements of Law.  If, from any possible construction of any of
the Credit Documents or any other document, interest would otherwise be payable
in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, any such construction shall be
subject to the provisions of this paragraph and such interest shall be
automatically reduced to the maximum nonusurious amount permitted under
Requirements of Law, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new
document.  If any Lender shall ever
receive anything of value which is characterized as interest on the Loans under
Requirements of Law and which would, apart from this provision, be in excess of
the maximum nonusurious amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have
been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of
the principal amount owing on the Loans and not to the payment of interest, or
refunded to the Borrowers or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such
amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal amount of
the Loans.  The right to demand payment
of the Loans or any other Indebtedness evidenced by any of the Credit Documents
does not include the right to receive any interest which has not otherwise
accrued on the date of such demand, and the Lenders do not intend to charge or
receive any unearned interest in the event of such demand.  All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the
Lenders with respect to the Loans shall, to the extent permitted by
Requirements of Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout
the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of the Loans so that
the amount of interest on account of such Indebtedness does not exceed the
maximum nonusurious amount permitted by Requirements of Law.

 

Section 2.10                            Pro Rata
Treatment and Payments.

 

(a)                                  Allocation
of Payments Prior to Exercise of Remedies.

 

(i)                                     Each
borrowing of Revolving Loans and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments
shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Commitment
Percentages of the Revolving Lenders. 
Each payment on account of any fees pursuant to Section 2.5 shall
be made pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts due and owing.  Each payment (other than prepayments) by the
Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans and on
the Term Loan, as applicable, shall be applied to such Loans, as applicable, on
a pro rata basis in accordance with the terms of Section 2.7(a) hereof.  Each optional prepayment on account of
principal of the Loans shall be applied in accordance with 

 

48

 

Section 2.7(a).  Each mandatory prepayment on account of
principal of the Loans shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.7(b).  Unless this Agreement otherwise expressly
provides for or requires a different manner for application of payments, all
payments are shared pari
passu and pro rata (based on the amounts of such Loans) between
Revolving Loans and Term Loans. All payments (including prepayments) to be made
by the Borrowers on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without
defense, set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s office specified
on Section 10.2 in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later
than 1:00 p.m. on the date when due. 
The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders
entitled thereto promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.  If any payment on a Loan becomes due and
payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment date shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would
be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such
payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

 

(ii)                                  The
Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured Parties shall be entitled to
receive an amount equal to all Income paid or distributed on or in respect of
the Collateral, which amount shall be deposited by the Borrowers, the Credit
Parties, any Servicer or PSA Servicer under a Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and any counterparty to any Interest Rate Protection Agreement into the
Collection Account.  The Borrowers hereby
agree (a) to instruct each applicable Servicer to transfer within two (2) Business
Days of receipt thereof, (b) to instruct each applicable PSA Servicer
under a Pooling and Servicing Agreement to deposit within two (2) Business
Days of the date on which such Person is obligated under the applicable Pooling
and Servicing Agreement to disburse such funds and (c) to itself deposit,
and to instruct each counterparty to any Interest Rate Protection Agreement to
transfer, all Income with respect to the Collateral directly into the
Collection Account.  On each Payment
Date, any Cash Collateral and any amounts on deposit in the Collection Account
shall be withdrawn by the Administrative Agent and shall be applied as follows:

 

FIRST, pari passu and pro rata (based on the
amounts owed to such Persons under this clause) to the payment of all fees,
expenses, and other obligations then due to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Fee and Pricing Letter, other
than the interest and principal on the Loans;

 

SECOND, to the extent not paid by
the Borrowers, to the payment of fees and expenses owed to the Custodian under
the Custodial Agreement or Custodial Fee Letter;

 

THIRD, pari passu and pro rata (based on the
amounts owed to such Persons under this clause) to the Lenders for the payment
of accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans outstanding and any amounts (other
than breakage costs and termination payment amounts) then due and payable to an
Affiliated Hedge Counterparty under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement;

 

FOURTH,
without limiting
the Borrowers’ obligations to make mandatory prepayments under Section 2.7(b) in
a timely manner as provided in this Article II, pari passu and pro rata
(based on the amounts owed to such Persons under this clause) for the payment
of the amounts and Loans provided for in Section 2.7(b);

 

FIFTH,
pari passu and pro rata (based on the amounts owed to
such Persons under this clause) to the extent any Income or Cash Collateral
includes payments or prepayments of principal on or from any Collateral
(including, without limitation, 

 

49

 

insurance or condemnation proceeds or recoveries from
any foreclosures not otherwise applied under Section 2.7(b) or clause
FOURTH above), such payments shall be
applied to reduce the Allocated Term Loan Amount and/or Allocated Revolving
Loan Amount for the related Term Loan Collateral or Revolving Loan Collateral,
as applicable, and, solely with respect to any Interest Rate Protection
Agreement with an Affiliated Hedge Counterparty, to any accrued and unpaid
breakage costs and termination payment amounts then due and payable to an
Affiliated Hedge Counterparty under such Interest Rate Protection Agreement;

 

SIXTH, pari passu and pro rata (based on the
amounts owed to such Persons under this clause) to the extent not previously
paid pursuant to Article II, to the Lenders to pay any other principal
payments then due or required to be paid, in such manner as the Administrative
Agent may elect in its discretion;

 

SEVENTH,  pari passu and pro rata (based on the amounts owed to such
Persons under this clause) to the payment of all other Obligations then due and
owing to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; and

 

EIGHTH,  to the Borrowers, for such purposes as the
Borrowers shall determine in their sole discretion;

 

provided,
however, that if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or a mandatory prepayment under Section 2.7 is due but the
applicable time period for payment of such amount has not expired, such amounts
under clause “EIGHTH” shall not be transferred
to the Borrowers but shall be applied (i) in the case of a mandatory
prepayment under Section 2.7, in reduction of such mandatory prepayments
when due and payable, with the balance being remitted to the Borrowers and (ii) in
the case of a Default or Event of Default, in reduction of the Obligations in
accordance with Section 2.10(b).

 

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Obligor Reserve
Payments are deposited into the Collection Account, such Obligor Reserve
Payments shall, upon written request of the Borrowers, be promptly transferred
from the Collection Account to the Borrowers for the Borrowers to transfer into
the appropriate escrow or reserve accounts.

 

In
carrying out the foregoing, amounts received shall be applied in the numerical
order provided until exhausted prior to application of the next succeeding
category.

 

(b)                                 Allocation
of Payments After Exercise of Remedies. 
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary,
after the exercise of remedies (other than the invocation of default interest
pursuant to Section 2.8) by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
pursuant to Section 7.2 (or after the Commitments shall automatically
terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts
under the Credit Documents shall automatically become due and payable in
accordance with the terms of such Section), all amounts collected or received
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the Obligations or any
other amounts outstanding under any of the Credit Documents or in respect of
the Collateral and all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and the
Securities Account shall be paid over or delivered to the Administrative Agent
and applied as follows (irrespective of whether the following costs, expenses,
fees, interest, premiums, scheduled periodic payments or Obligations are
allowed, permitted or recognized as a claim in any proceeding resulting from
the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event):

 

50

 

FIRST, to the payment of all
costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees) of the
Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders
under the Credit Documents and any protective advances made by the
Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral under or pursuant to the
terms of the Security Documents;

 

SECOND, pari passu and pro rata
(based on the amounts owed to such Persons under this clause) to the payment of
any fees owed to the Administrative Agent and any amounts due and payable to an
Affiliated Hedge Counterparty under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement;

 

THIRD, pari passu and pro rata (based on the
amounts owed to such Persons under this clause) to the payment of all costs and
expenses (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees) of each of the Lenders
in connection with enforcing its rights under the Credit Documents or otherwise
with respect to the Obligations owing to such Lender;

 

FOURTH, pari passu and pro rata (based on the
amounts owed to such Persons under this clause) to the payment of all of the
Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest;

 

FIFTH, pari passu and pro rata (based on the
amounts owed to such Persons under this clause) to the payment of the
outstanding principal amount of the Obligations;

 

SIXTH, pari passu and pro rata (based on the
amounts owed to such Persons under this clause) to all other Obligations which
shall have become due and payable under the Credit Documents or otherwise and
not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “FIFTH” above; and

 

SEVENTH, pari passu and pro rata (based on the
amounts owed to such Persons under this clause) to the payment of the surplus,
if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

 

In
carrying out the foregoing, (a) amounts received shall be applied in the
numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next
succeeding category and (b) each of the Lenders shall receive an amount
equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion of the then outstanding
Loans held by such Lender) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to
clauses “THIRD”, “FOURTH”, “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above.

 

Section 2.11                            Non-Receipt
of Funds by the Administrative Agent.

 

(a)                                  Funding
by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received written notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any
Extension of Credit that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Extension of Credit, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available
on such date in accordance with this Agreement and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact
made its share of the applicable Extension of Credit available to the Administrative
Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith advance such unpaid share
on behalf of the underlying Lender in question and, until such amount is paid
to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, be entitled to receive interest
from such Lender on such corresponding amount, for each day from and including
the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the
date of payment of such amount to the

 

51

 

Administrative
Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation.  If such Lender
pays its share of the applicable Extension of Credit to the Administrative
Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in
such Extension of Credit.  Any payment by
the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have
against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative
Agent.

 

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

 

A
notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect
to any amount owing under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall
be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

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

 

(d)                                 Obligations
of Lenders Several.  The obligations
of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and Revolving Loans, and to make
payments pursuant to Section 10.5(c) are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan,
to fund any such participation or to make any such payment under Sections 8.6
and 10.5(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other
Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan,
to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Sections 8.6 and
10.5(c).

 

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

 

Section 2.12                            Inability to
Determine Interest Rate.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if (a) the Administrative Agent
shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant
market, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR
Rate for such Interest Period, or (b) the Required Lenders shall
reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding LIBOR Rate Loans, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly give telephone notice of such
determination, confirmed in writing, to the Borrowers and the Lenders.  Unless the Borrowers shall have notified the

 

52

 

Administrative Agent upon receipt of such telephone
notice that it wishes to rescind or modify its request regarding such Loans,
any Loans that were requested to be made and all further Loans shall accrue
interest at the Alternate Base Rate until any such notice has been withdrawn by
the Administrative Agent.

 

Section 2.13                            Indemnity;
Eurocurrency Liabilities.

 

(a)                                  The
Credit Parties hereby agree to indemnify each Lender and to hold such Lender
harmless from any funding loss or expense which each Lender may sustain or
incur as a consequence of (a) the failure by the Borrowers to pay the
principal amount of or interest on any Loan by any Lender in accordance with
the terms hereof, (b) the failure by the Borrowers to accept a borrowing
after the Borrowers have given a notice in accordance with the terms hereof, (c) default
by the Borrowers in making any prepayment after the Borrowers have given a
notice in accordance with the terms hereof, and/or (d) the making by the
Borrowers of a prepayment of a Loan on a day which is not the last day of the
Interest Period with respect thereto, in each case including, but not limited
to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by any
Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Loans
hereunder.  A certificate setting forth
in reasonable detail as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted
by any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrowers shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
The agreements in this Section shall survive termination of this
Agreement and payment of the Obligations.

 

(b)                                 The
Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to
maintain reserves under Regulation D with respect to “Eurocurrency liabilities” within the meaning of
Regulation D, or under any similar or successor regulation with respect to
Eurocurrency liabilities or Eurocurrency funding, additional interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan equal to the actual costs of such
reserves allocated to such LIBOR Loan by such Lender (as determined by such
Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be
due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such LIBOR Loan
or, if later demanded by the Administrative Agent, promptly on demand.

 

Section 2.14                            Taxes.

 

(a)                                  Any
and all payments by a Credit Party under or in respect of this Agreement or any
other Credit Documents to which a Credit Party is a party shall be made free
and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any
and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions
to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied,
collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental
Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law.  If a Credit Party shall be required under any
applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in
respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the
other Credit Documents to the Lenders (including for purposes of Section 2.14
and this Section 2.17, any assignee, successor or participant), (i) Credit
Party shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Credit
Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the
relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with
any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by Credit
Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after the Credit Party has
made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and
withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.14)
such Lenders receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no
such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded
Taxes.  For purposes of this Agreement
the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of
Lenders, Taxes that are imposed on their overall net income (and franchise
taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such
Lenders are organized or of their applicable lending office, or any political
subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result

 

53

 

of such Lenders
having executed, delivered or performed their obligations or received payments
under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (in
which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).

 

(b)                                 In
addition, the Credit Party hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp,
recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar
taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect
of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or from the execution, delivery
or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or any other Credit Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

 

(c)                                  The
Credit Party hereby agrees to indemnify Lenders for, and to hold them harmless
against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full
amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable
under this Section 2.14 imposed on or paid by such Lenders and any
liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses)
arising therefrom or with respect thereto. 
The indemnity by the Credit Party provided for in this Section 2.14(c) shall
apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for
which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally
asserted.  Amounts payable by the Credit
Party under the indemnity set forth in this Section 2.14(c) shall be
paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Lenders make written
demand therefor.

 

(d)                                 Within
thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Credit Party (or
any Person making such payment on behalf of the Credit Party) shall furnish to
Lenders for their own account a certified copy of the original official receipt
evidencing payment thereof.

 

(e)                                  For
purposes of this Section 2.14(e), the terms “United States” and “United
States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of
the Internal Revenue Code.  Each Lender
(including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) that
either (i) is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any
State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not
include “Incorporated,” “Inc.,” “Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “N.A.,” “National
Association,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt
Lenders”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Credit Party the
following properly completed and duly executed documents:

 

(i)                                     in
the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that is not a United States person or is a
foreign disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is
entitled to provide such form, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal
Revenue Form W-8BEN with Part II completed in which the Lender claims
the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced
rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate
attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or
any successor forms thereto); or

 

(ii)                                  (ii) in
the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that is an individual, (x) a complete and
executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms
thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.15 (a “Section 2.14
Certificate”) or (y) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

 

(iii)                               in the case of a
Non-Exempt Lender that is organized under the laws of the United States, any
State thereof, or the District of Columbia, a complete and executed U.S.
Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

 

54

 

(iv)             in
the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that (x) is not organized under the laws
of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is
treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and
executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms
thereto) and a Section 2.14 Certificate; or

 

(v)                in
the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that (A) is treated as a partnership or
other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the
United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a
complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any
successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and
(ii) a Section 2.14 Certificate, and (y) without duplication,
with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such
beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities
that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such
owners, “beneficial owners”), the documents that would be provided by
each such beneficial owner pursuant to this Section 2.14(e) if each
such beneficial owner were a Lender, provided, however, that no
such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the
extent that the actual Lender is determined to be in compliance with the
requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be
provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the requirements of this
clause (v) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary, as determined by a
Credit Party in their sole discretion; provided, however, that
Lenders shall be provided an opportunity to establish such compliance as
reasonable; or

 

(vi)             in
the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, the document that would be provided by its beneficial owner pursuant
to this Section 2.14(e) if such beneficial owner were the Lender; or

 

(vii)          in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender that (A) is
not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity as an “intermediary”
(as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all
required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 2.14
Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary”
(as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf
the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be provided
by each such person pursuant to this Section 2.14(e) if each such
person were a Lender.

 

If the
Lender provides a form pursuant to clause (i)(x) and the form provided by
the Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement or,
with respect to a grant of a participation, the effective date thereof,
indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero,
withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other than “Non-Excluded
Taxes” (“Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes
unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate form certifying that a
lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be
considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form.  If, however, on the date a Person becomes an
assignee, successor or participant to this Agreement, the Lender transferor was
entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 2.14,
then the Lender assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to
indemnification or additional amounts to the extent (and only to the extent),
that the Lender transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional
amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and the Lender assignee, successor or
participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional
amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes.

 

(f)                                    For
any period with respect to which Lenders have failed to provide the Credit
Party with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 2.14(e),
if required, (other than (i) if such failure is due to a change in any
Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or 

 

55

 

application
thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other
document originally was required to be provided by such Lenders or (ii) if
it is legally inadvisable or otherwise commercially disadvantageous for such
Lenders to deliver such form, certificate or other document), such Lenders
shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under Section 2.14(a) or
(c) with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by
reason of such failure; provided, however, that should Lenders
become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of their failure to deliver a
form, certificate or other document required hereunder, Credit Party shall take
such steps as such Lenders shall reasonably request, to assist such Lenders in
recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.

 

Without
prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Credit Party hereunder,
the agreements and obligations of the Credit Party contained in this Section 2.14
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Credit documents.  Nothing contained in Section 2.17 or
this Section 2.14 shall require the Lenders to make available any of their
tax returns or any other information that they deem to be confidential or
proprietary.

 

Section 2.15                            Illegality.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Credit Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make
it unlawful for such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office to make or maintain
LIBOR Rate Loans as contemplated by this Credit Agreement or to obtain in the
interbank eurodollar market through its LIBOR Lending Office the funds with
which to make such Loans, (a) such Lender shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent and the Borrowers thereof, (b) the commitment of such
Lender hereunder to make LIBOR Rate Loans or continue LIBOR Rate Loans as such
shall forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall give notice
that the condition or situation which gave rise to the suspension shall no
longer exist, and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Rate
Loans, if any, shall thereafter accrue interest at the Alternate Base
Rate.  The Borrowers hereby agree to
promptly pay any Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender for actual and direct out-of-pocket costs reasonably
incurred by such Lender in making any repayment in accordance with this Section including,
but not limited to, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of
funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans
hereunder.  A certificate (which certificate
shall include a description of the basis for the computation) as to any
additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such
Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrowers shall be conclusive
in the absence of manifest error.  Each
Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change
its LIBOR Lending Office) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which may
otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section; provided, however,
that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any
additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender in its
sole discretion to be material.

 

Section 2.16                            Obligations
Absolute.

 

Except
as set forth to the contrary in the Credit Documents, all sums payable by the
Credit Parties hereunder or under the Credit Documents shall be paid without
notice, demand, counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense (as to any Person or
any reason whatsoever) and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution
or reduction (as to any Person or any reason whatsoever), and the obligations
and liabilities of each Credit Party hereunder shall in no way be released,
discharged or otherwise affected (except as expressly provided herein) by
reason of:  (a) any damage to or
destruction of or any taking of any asset, any Property, any Collateral or any
portion of the foregoing; (b) any restriction or prevention of or
interference with any use of any asset, any Property, any Collateral or any
portion of the foregoing; (c) any title defect or encumbrance or any
eviction from any Property, by title paramount or otherwise; (d) any
Insolvency Proceeding relating to any Credit Party, any Affiliate or Subsidiary
of the foregoing or any Obligor, account debtor or indemnitor under the
Collateral, or any 

 

56

 

action taken with respect to this Agreement or any
other Credit Document by any trustee or receiver of any Credit Party, any
Affiliate or Subsidiary of the foregoing or any Obligor, account debtor or
indemnitor under the Collateral, or by any court, in any such proceeding; (e) any
claim that any Credit Party has or might have against the Administrative Agent,
any Lender and/or any Indemnitee; (f) any default or failure on the part
of the Administrative Agent, any Lender and/or any Indemnitee to perform or
comply with any of the terms hereof, the Credit Documents or of any other
agreement with any Credit Party, any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the foregoing
and/or any other Person; (g) the invalidity or unenforceability of any
Collateral or Loan; (h) anything related to or arising out of any
Credit-Party-Related Obligation; or (i) any other occurrence whatsoever,
whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether or not any Credit Party
or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the foregoing shall have notice or knowledge
of any of the foregoing.

 

Section 2.17                            Requirements
of Law.

 

(a)                                  If
any Requirement of Law or any change in the interpretation or application
thereof or compliance by the Lenders with any request or directive (whether or
not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

 

(i)                                     shall
subject the Lenders to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, the Loans or the Letters of Credit or change the
basis of taxation of payments to the Lenders in respect thereof;

 

(ii)                                  shall
impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan
or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in
or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other
acquisition of funds by, any office of the Lenders; or

 

(iii)                               shall impose on the
Lenders any other condition;

 

and
the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lenders, by
an amount which the Lenders deems to be material, of entering, continuing or
maintaining any Loan or Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount due or owing
hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall
promptly pay the Lenders such additional amount or amounts as calculated by the
Lenders in good faith as will compensate the Lenders for such increased cost or
reduced amount receivable.

 

(b)                                 If
the Lenders shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest
error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that the
adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy
or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Lenders or
any corporation controlling the Lenders with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on the Lenders’ or such corporation’s capital as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the
Lenders or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration the Lenders’ or such corporation’s
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lenders
to be material, then from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to the
Lenders such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lenders for
such reduction.

 

(c)                                  If
the Lenders become entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
Section, they shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the event by reason of
which they have become so entitled; provided, however, that any
failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to
this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to
demand such compensation 

 

57

 

at any future
time.  A certificate as to any additional
amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by the Lenders to the
Borrowers shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  The Borrowers shall pay the Lenders the
amount shown as due on any such certificate promptly and in any event within
ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

 

The
provisions of this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment in full of the Obligations.

of the date of this Agreement and on any date a Loan is made hereunder and at
all times while any Credit Document or any Loan is in full force and effect, to
the Administrative Agent and to each Lender that:

 

Section 3.1                                   Financial
Condition.

 

(a)                                  The
audited consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statements of income
and cash flows of the Guarantors, the Borrowers and the Guarantors’ and the
Borrowers’ Consolidated Subsidiaries for the most recent quarter provided to
the Administrative Agent, copies of which, certified by a Responsible Officer
of the Parent, have heretofore been furnished to the Administrative Agent, are
complete and correct and present fairly in all material respects the
consolidated financial condition of the Guarantors, the Borrowers and the
Guarantors’ and the Borrowers’ Consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows
as of the date of such financial statements and other information.  All such financial statements, including the
related schedules and notes thereto (if any), have been prepared in accordance
with Tax Based Accounting Principles applied consistently throughout the
periods involved (except as disclosed therein). 
Except as disclosed in writing, neither the Guarantors, the Borrowers
nor any of the Guarantors’ or the Borrowers’ Consolidated Subsidiaries had, at
the date of the most recent balance sheet referred to above, any material
contingent liability or liability for Taxes, or any long term lease or unusual
forward or long term commitment, including, without limitation, any interest
rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other financial
derivative, that is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes
thereto.  During the period from the date
of the financial statements and other financial information delivered to the
Administrative Agent, to and including the date hereof, there has been no sale,
transfer or other disposition by the Guarantors, the Borrowers or any of the
Guarantors’ or the Borrowers’ Consolidated Subsidiaries of any material part of
their business or Property and no purchase or other acquisition of any business
or Property (including any Equity Interests of any other Person) material in
relation to the consolidated financial condition of the Guarantors, the Borrower
and the Guarantors’ or the Borrowers’ Consolidated Subsidiaries on the date
hereof.  Since the date of the most
recent financial statements delivered to the Administrative Agent, no change
having a Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

 

(b)                                 The
operating forecast and cash flow projections of the Guarantors, the Borrowers
and the Guarantors’ and the Borrowers’ Consolidated Subsidiaries, copies of
which have heretofore been furnished to the Administrative Agent, have been
prepared in good faith under the direction of a Responsible Officer of the
Parent.  The Guarantors and the Borrowers
have no reason to believe that as of the date of delivery thereof such
operating forecast and cash flow projections are materially incorrect or
misleading in any material respect or omit to state any material fact which
would render them misleading in any material respect.  The Guarantors and the Borrowers shall not be
required 

 

58

 

to provide
information in its projections if the disclosure of such information would
violate any Requirement of Law relating to insider trading.

Material Adverse Effect.  Each Credit

not conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the
Authority Documents of the Credit Parties or any Contractual Obligation,
Indebtedness or Guarantee Obligations of any Credit Party (except those as to
which waivers or consents were obtained) or any material approval or material
consent from any Governmental Authority relating to such Credit Party, and (c) will
not result in, or 

 

59

 

require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any
Credit Party’s Properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law,

(s)                                  Pledge

Administrative Agent that the applicable Borrower has given notice to the applicable
Persons of the Administrative Agent’s interest in such Eligible Asset and
otherwise satisfied any other applicable requirements under such pledgee
provisions so that the Administrative Agent is entitled to receive the benefits

have occurred and be continuing under any such Interest Rate Protection
Agreement.

Reports, Certifications, Etc.  The
Administrative Agent shall have received all such other and further documents,
reports, certifications, approvals and opinions of Counsel as the
Administrative Agent in its discretion shall reasonably require.

 

The
failure of any Credit Party, as applicable, to satisfy any of the foregoing
conditions precedent in respect of any Extension of Credit shall, unless such
failure was expressly waived in writing by the Administrative Agent on or prior
to the related Borrowing Date, give rise to a right of the Administrative
Agent, which right may be exercised at any time on the demand of the
Administrative Agent, to rescind the related Extension of Credit and direct the
Borrowers to pay to the Administrative Agent as agent for the Lenders an amount
equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Extension of Credit, accrued
interest and other amounts due in connection therewith during any such time
that any of the foregoing conditions precedent were not satisfied.

 

Each
request for an Extension of Credit and each acceptance by the Borrowers of any
such Extension of Credit shall be deemed to constitute representations and
warranties by the Credit Parties as of the date of the request and as of the
date of such Extension of Credit that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.1
and 4.2 have been satisfied.

Section 7.2                                   Acceleration;
Remedies.

an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the following rights
and remedies are available to the Administrative Agent.

 

(i)                                     At
the option of the Administrative Agent, exercised by written notice to the
Credit Parties (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no
notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency of any
Credit Party), the Loans (with accrued interest thereon), and all Obligations
and other amounts under the Credit Documents shall immediately become due and payable.  The Administrative 

 

98

 

Agent shall (except upon
the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency of any Credit Party) give notice to the
Credit Parties of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.

 

(ii)                                  With
respect to all Letters of Credit not previously Cash Collateralized with
respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of
an acceleration pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Borrowers shall at
such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative
Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired face amount
of such Letters of Credit.  The Borrowers
hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender
and the L/C Participants, a security interest in such cash collateral to secure
all obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents.  Amounts held in such cash
collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment
of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof
after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon,
if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and
under the other Credit Documents.  After
all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all
Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations
of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall have been
paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be
returned to the Borrowers (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled
thereto).  The Borrowers shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender and
the L/C Participants, such further documents and instruments as the
Administrative Agent may request to evidence the creation and perfection of the
within security interest in such cash collateral account.

 

(iii)                               If
the Administrative Agent exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option
referred to in Section 7.2(a)(i),

 

(A)                             (i) all
of the Credit Parties’ obligations in respect of such Loans shall thereupon
become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after such
exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by the Administrative Agent, for
the account of the Lenders and each Affiliated Hedge Counterparty, and applied
to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans and any other
amounts owed to the Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder and each
Affiliated Hedge Counterparty or under any other Credit Document and (iii) all
other Obligations shall be immediately due and payable;

 

(B)                               from
and after the exercise or deemed exercise of such option, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Loan balance with respect to each such Loan
shall be determined by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for
the actual number of days during the period from and including the date of the
exercise or deemed exercise of such option to but excluding the date of payment
of the Loan balance, (x) the ABR Default Rate to (y) the Loan balance
for such Loan as of the Maturity Date (decreased as of any day by (i) any
amounts actually in the possession of the Administrative Agent pursuant to
clause (C) of this subsection, (ii) any proceeds from the sale of
Mortgaged Assets applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Loans
pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(v), and (iii) any amounts applied to the
outstanding principal balance of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.2(a); and

 

99

 

(C)                                all
Income actually received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Lenders and Affiliated Hedge Counterparties shall be payable pursuant to Section 2.10.

 

(iv)                              Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of one or more Events of Default, the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to obtain physical possession of the
Servicing Records (subject to the provisions of the Custodial Agreement) and
all other files of the Credit Parties relating to the Mortgaged Assets and all
documents relating to the Mortgaged Assets which are then or may thereafter
come into the possession of the Credit Parties or any third party acting for
the Credit Parties and the Credit Parties shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent such assignments as the Administrative Agent shall request and the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint any Person to act as
Servicer for the Mortgaged Assets.  The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to specific performance of all
agreements of the Credit Parties contained in the Credit Documents.

 

(v)                                 At
any time on the Business Day following written notice to the Credit Parties
(which notice may be the written notice given under Section 7.2(a)(i)), in
the event the Credit Parties have not repaid all its Obligations under the
Credit Documents, the Administrative Agent may (A) immediately sell,
without demand or further notice of any kind, at a public or private sale and
at such price or prices as the Administrative Agent may deem satisfactory any
or all Mortgaged Assets subject to such Loans hereunder and apply the proceeds
thereof to the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Loans and any other amounts
owing by the Credit Parties hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect,
in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Mortgaged Assets, to give the
Credit Parties credit for such Mortgaged Assets in an amount equal to the Asset
Value of the Mortgaged Assets against the aggregate unpaid principal balance of
the Loans and any other amounts owing by the Credit Parties hereunder.  The proceeds of any disposition of Mortgaged
Assets shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10(b).

 

(vi)                              Each
Credit Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may seek to obtain an
injunction or an order of specific performance to compel the Credit Party to
fulfill any of its obligations as set forth in Article IX, if the Credit
Party fails or refuses to perform its obligations as set forth therein.

 

(vii)                           Each
Credit Party shall be liable to the Administrative Agent, payable as and when
incurred by the Administrative Agent, for (A) the amount of all expenses,
including legal or other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in
connection with or as a consequence of any Event of Default, and (B) all
costs incurred in connection with hedging or covering transactions.

 

(viii)                        The
Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any
rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law.

 

(b)                                 The
Administrative Agent may exercise one or more of the remedies available to the
Administrative Agent immediately upon and during the continuance of an Event of
Default and, except to the extent provided in Sections 7.2(a)(i) and
7.2(a)(v), at any time thereafter without notice to any Credit Party.  All rights and remedies arising under this
Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not
exclusive of any other rights or remedies which the Administrative Agent may
have.

 

100

 

(c)                                  The
Administrative Agent may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without
prior judicial process or hearing, and each Credit Party hereby expressly
waives any defenses the Credit Party might otherwise have to require the
Administrative Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process.  Each Credit Party also waives any defense
(other than a defense of payment or performance) the Credit Party might
otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and
sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Assets, or from any other election
of remedies.  Each Credit Party
recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the
trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain
at arm’s-length.

 

(d)                                 To
the extent permitted by applicable law each Credit Party shall be liable to the
Administrative Agent for interest on any amounts owing by the Credit Party
hereunder, from the date the Credit Party becomes liable for such amounts
hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full or (ii) satisfied
in full by the exercise of the Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder.  Interest on any sum payable by any Credit
Party to the Administrative Agent under this Section 7.2(d) shall be
at a rate equal to the ABR Default Rate.

 

ARTICLE
VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

Section 8.1                                   Appointment
and Authority; Nature of Duties.

 

Each
Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Wachovia to act on its behalf
as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative
Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions
of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers
and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to or conferred upon the
Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents
and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein,
together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The Administrative Agent agrees to act as
such upon the express conditions contained in this Article VIII.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties
or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the
Administrative Agent.  The provisions of
this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders, and neither the Manager nor any Credit Party shall have any
rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof.

 

The
Administrative Agent shall be responsible for administering the Loans on a
day-to-day basis.  In the exercise of
such administrative duties, the Administrative Agent shall use the same
diligence and standard of care that is customarily used by the Administrative
Agent with respect to similar loans entered into by the Administrative Agent
solely for its own account.

 

Each
Lender delegates to the Administrative Agent the full right and authority on
its behalf to take the following specific actions in connection with its
administration of the Loans:

 

(a)                                  to
enter into and fund Loans on behalf of the Lenders in accordance with the
provisions of the Credit Documents;

 

101

 

(b)                                 to
receive all amounts paid by, or on behalf of, the Credit Parties and, except
for fees to which the Administrative Agent is entitled pursuant to the Credit
Documents or otherwise, to distribute all such funds to the respective Lenders
as provided for hereunder;

 

(c)                                  to
keep and maintain complete and accurate files and records of all material
matters pertaining to the Loans, and make such files and records available for
inspection and copying by each Lender and its respective employees and agents
during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative
Agent; and

 

(d)                                 to
do or omit doing all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary or
incident to the implementation and administration of the Loans and the rights
and duties delegated hereinabove.

 

The
Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents by or through its agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall
be entitled to the advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its
rights and duties hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.  The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or willful misconduct of any agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

 

Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers or
other agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties
or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents,
except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, or a Lender
hereunder.  Without limiting the
foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be
deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has not
relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified
in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action
hereunder.

 

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

 

Section 8.2                                   Exculpatory
Provisions.

 

The
Administrative Agent and any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall not have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent and any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates:

 

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

 

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

 

102

 

take any action that,
in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative
Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or Requirements
of Law; and

 

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

 

The
Administrative Agent and any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders
(or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as
the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under
the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.1 and 7.2) or (ii) in the
absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

The
Administrative Agent and any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall not be responsible for or have any duty
to ascertain or inquire into (i) any recital, statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit
Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report, statement or other
document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or
therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants,
agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the value, validity,
enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness or sufficiency of this Agreement,
any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein,
other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.  The Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or willful misconduct of any
agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

 

Section 8.3                                   Reliance by
Administrative Agent.

 

The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any note, resolution, notice, request, certificate,
consent, statement, affidavit, order, instrument, document or other writing
(including any letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex, teletype message
or electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other
distribution) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent, made or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person or Persons.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon
any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been
made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon.  In determining compliance with
any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be
fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume
that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the
making of such Loan.  The Administrative
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under
this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such
advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as the Administrative Agent deems
appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders
against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason
of taking, continuing or failing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases
be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the
Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon each Lender.  The Administrative Agent may consult with
legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants
and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken
or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel,
accountants or experts.

 

103

 

Section 8.4                                   Notice of
Default.

 

The
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the
Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or one of the
Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent
receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Lenders.  The
Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided,
however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have
received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated
to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of
the Lenders (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that
such action be taken, or not taken, only with the consent or upon the
authorization of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, as the case may
be) and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by
reason of so acting or refraining from acting. 
Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action
whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative
Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit
Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

 

Section 8.5                                   Non-Reliance
on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

 

Each
Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of
its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has
made any representation or warranty to it and that no act by the Administrative
Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Credit
Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative
Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender
represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their
Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of
each Credit Party and made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement and each Loan hereunder. 
Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their
Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it deem appropriate
at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions
in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other
Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform
itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition
and creditworthiness of each Credit Party. 
Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be
furnished by a Credit Party to the Administrative Agent hereunder or under the
other Credit Documents, which the Administrative Agent must distribute promptly
to each Lender, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Credit Party which may come
into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers,
directors, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

 

Section 8.6                                   Indemnification.

 

The
Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity hereunder
and its Affiliates and its respective officers, directors, agents and employees
(to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers within five (5) Business
Days after the delivery of a written request by the Administrative Agent to the
Borrowers for such reimbursement or indemnification or, if earlier, upon
receipt by the Administrative Agent of a refusal from the Borrowers to comply
with any such request and without 

 

104

 

limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so),
ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the
date on which indemnification is sought under this Section, from and against
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which
may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the
payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any
such indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of any Credit Document or
any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by
any such indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided,
however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion
of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting from
such indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction.  The
provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment in full of the Obligations.

 

Section 8.7                                   Administrative
Agent in Its Individual Capacity.

 

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

 

Section 8.8                                   Successor Administrative
Agent.

 

The
Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the
Lenders and the Borrowers.  Upon receipt
of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right,
with the prior approval of the Borrowers, to appoint a successor, or an
Affiliate of any such bank.  If no
successor Administrative Agent has been appointed and shall have accepted such
appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s
giving notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent’s
resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall
perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such
time, if any, as the Lenders appoint and the Borrowers approve a successor
Administrative Agent and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring
Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as
a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until
such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided for above in this paragraph. 
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired)
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit
Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this
paragraph).  The fees payable by the
Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and
such successor.  After the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.5 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its
sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions 

 

105

 

taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the
retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

 

Section 8.9                                   Collateral
and Guaranty Matters.

 

(a)                                  The
Lenders irrevocably authorize and direct the Administrative Agent:

 

(i)                                     to
release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative
Agent under any Credit Document (A) upon termination of the Revolving
Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made or cannot be
reasonably identified by an Indemnitee based on the then-known facts and
circumstances), or (B) subject to Section 10.1, if approved,
authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders or (C) subject
to Sections 2.7(c) and 6.21 and other restrictions on releases, upon a
prepayment in full of all amounts owed hereunder with respect to a Pledged
Mortgage Asset by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(iv), provided
there is no Default, no Event of Default and no mandatory prepayment is due or
will become due upon such release or upon the expiration of the applicable time
period under Section 2.7.

 

(ii)                                  to
subordinate any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative
Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such Collateral
that is permitted by Section 6.2; and

 

(iii)                               to
release the Guarantors from their obligations under the applicable Guarantee
Agreement if any such Person ceases to be a Guarantor as a result of a
transaction permitted hereunder.

 

(b)                                 In
connection with a termination or release pursuant to this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the applicable
Credit Party, at the Borrowers’ expense, all documents that the applicable
Credit Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or
release.  Upon request by the
Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing
the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in
particular types or items of Collateral, or to release the Guarantors from
their obligations under the Guarantee Agreement pursuant to this Section.

 

Section 8.10                            Duties in
the Case of Enforcement.

 

In
case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and
whether or not acceleration of the Credit Parties’ obligations under the Credit
Documents shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request,
or may, upon the consent, of the Required Lenders, and provided that the
Lenders have given to the Administrative Agent such additional indemnities and
assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents respecting the sale or other disposition of all or any
of the Mortgage Assets and the exercise of any other legal or equitable rights
or remedies as it may have hereunder or under any other Credit Document or
otherwise by virtue of applicable law, or to refrain from so acting if
similarly requested by the Required Lenders. 
The Administrative Agent shall be fully protected in so acting or
refraining from acting upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, and such
instruction shall be binding upon all the Lenders.  The Required Lenders may direct the
Administrative Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such
foreclosure, sale or other disposition or the exercise of any other right or
remedy, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Administrative
Agent harmless from all costs and liabilities incurred in respect of all
actions taken or omitted in accordance with such direction, provided that the 

 

106

 

Administrative Agent need not comply with any such
direction to the extent that the Administrative Agent reasonably believes the
Administrative Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or
commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction.  The Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion but without obligation, in the absence of direction from the
Required Lenders, take such interim actions as it believes necessary to
preserve the rights of the Lenders hereunder and in and to any Mortgage Assets,
including but not limited to petitioning a court for injunctive relief,
appointment of a receiver or preservation of the proceeds of any Mortgage
Asset.  Each of the Lenders acknowledges
and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of
the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, other than through the
Administrative Agent.

 

ARTICLE
IX

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

 

Section 9.1                                   Servicing.

 

(a)                                  The
Administrative Agent hereby appoints each of the Borrowers as its agent to
service the Collateral and enforce its rights in and under such
Collateral.  The Borrowers hereby accept
such appointment and agree to perform the duties and obligations with respect
thereto as set forth herein.

 

(b)                                 The
Borrowers covenant to maintain or cause the servicing of the Collateral (other
than Junior Interests and GKK CRE CDO Securities) to be maintained in
conformity with Accepted Servicing Practices and in a manner at least equal in
quality to the servicing Borrowers provide for Mortgage Assets that it
owns.  In the event that the preceding
language is interpreted as constituting one or more servicing contracts, each
such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) an
Event of Default, (ii) the date on which this Agreement terminates or the
Administrative Agent releases its Lien with respect to the related item of
Collateral or (iii) the transfer of servicing approved in writing by the
Administrative Agent.

 

Section 9.2                                   Borrowers as
Servicer.

 

With
respect to Mortgage Assets other than Junior Interests and GKK CRE CDO
Securities, if the Collateral is serviced by an Affiliate of the Borrowers,
each Borrower agrees that, until the item of Collateral is released from the
Administrative Agent’s Lien, the Administrative Agent has a security interest
in all servicing records for the period that the Administrative Agent has a
Lien on the Collateral, including, but not limited to, any and all servicing
agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of
computer tapes, computer programs, proof of insurance coverage, insurance
policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and
any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of such Collateral
(the “Servicing Records”).  Each Borrower covenants to safeguard such
Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to the Administrative Agent or
its designee (including the Custodian) at the Administrative Agent’s request.

 

Section 9.3                                   Third Party
Servicer.

 

With
respect to Mortgage Assets other than Junior Interests and GKK CRE CDO Securities
(the “Serviced Assets”), if any Serviced Assets are serviced by a person
other than an Affiliate of the Borrowers (such third party, the “Servicer”),
(i) the Borrowers shall, in accordance with Section 4.2, provide to
the Administrative Agent a copy of the servicing agreement, which shall be in
form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent (the “Servicing
Agreement”) and a Servicer Redirection Notice, fully executed by the
Borrowers and the related Servicer and the Borrowers shall require each
Servicing Agreement to contain provisions relating to the delivery of
information and reports as will 

 

107

 

enable each Borrower to comply with its obligations
under this Agreement as and when required hereunder, and (ii) each
Borrower hereby irrevocably assigns to the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent’s successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Lenders,
all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under, and the benefits
of, each Servicing Agreement.  The
Borrowers shall not cause the Serviced Assets to be serviced by a third party
other than pursuant to the Servicing Agreements or, if not serviced thereunder,
by any Servicer other than a Servicer expressly approved in writing by the
Administrative Agent in its discretion, which approval shall be deemed granted
by the Administrative Agent with respect to each Servicer listed on Schedule
9.3 attached hereto, as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from
time to time, after the execution of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the fact that the Borrowers
have contracted with the Servicers to service the Serviced Assets, the
Borrowers shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent for the acts of the
Servicers and for the performance of the duties and obligations set forth
herein.  Each Borrower agrees that no
Person shall assume the servicing obligations with respect to any Serviced
Assets as successor to the Servicer unless such successor is a Qualified
Servicer and unless such successor is approved in writing by the Administrative
Agent prior to such assumption of servicing obligations.  The Administrative Agent hereby agrees that
upon the repayment of any Loan, the Administrative Agent shall assign back to
the Borrower all of its right, title and interest in, to and under, and the
benefits of, any Servicing Agreement pertaining to the related Serviced Assets.

 

Section 9.4                                   Duties of
the Borrowers.

 

(a)                                  Duties.  The Borrowers shall take or cause to be taken
all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect all Income and
other amounts due or recoverable with respect to the Collateral from time to
time, all in accordance with Applicable Laws, with reasonable care and
diligence, and in accordance with the standard set forth in Section 9.1(b).

 

(b)                                 Administrative
Agent’s Rights.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Administrative
Agent of its rights hereunder shall not release the Borrowers from any of its
duties or responsibilities with respect to the Collateral.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any
obligation or liability with respect to any Collateral, nor shall any of them
be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder.

 

(c)                                  Servicing
Programs.  In the event that the
Borrowers or the Servicers use any software program in servicing the Collateral
that is licensed from a third party, at the request of the Administrative
Agent, the Borrowers shall use their reasonable efforts to obtain, either
before the Closing Date or as soon as possible thereafter, whatever licenses or
approvals are necessary to allow the Administrative Agent to use such programs.

 

Section 9.5                                   Authorization
of the Borrowers.

 

(a)                                  The
Administrative Agent hereby authorizes the Borrowers (including any successor
thereto) to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf
necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with the pledge of the Collateral
to the Administrative Agent to collect all amounts due under any and all
Collateral, including, without limitation, endorsing any checks and other
instruments representing Income, executing and delivering any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or
discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral
and, after the delinquency of any Collateral and to the extent permitted under
and in compliance with Requirements of Law, to commence proceedings with
respect to enforcing payment thereof, to the same extent as the Borrowers could
have done if it had continued to own such Collateral free of the Lien of the
Administrative Agent.  The Administrative
Agent shall furnish the Borrowers (and any successors thereto) with any powers
of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to 

 

108

 

enable the
Borrowers to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder and
shall cooperate with the Borrowers to the fullest extent in order to ensure the
collectibility of the Collateral.  In no
event shall the Borrowers be entitled to make the Administrative Agent a party
to any litigation without the Administrative Agent’s express prior written
consent.

 

(b)                                 Subject
to all other rights of the Administrative Agent contained herein, after an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the direction of the
Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall take such action as the
Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of
the Collateral; provided, however, subject to all other rights of
the Administrative Agent contained herein, the Administrative Agent may, at any
time that an Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing, notify
any Obligor with respect to any Collateral of the assignment of such Collateral
to the Administrative Agent and direct that payments of all amounts due or to
become due be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer,
collection agent or lock–box or other account designated by the Administrative
Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent may enforce collection of any such Collateral and adjust,
settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

 

Section 9.6                                   Event of Default.

 

With
respect to Mortgage Assets other than Junior Interests and GKK CRE CDO
Securities, if the servicer of the Collateral is any Borrower or an Affiliate
of any Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to terminate the
Borrower or Affiliate of Borrower as the servicer of the Collateral and
transfer servicing to its designee, at no cost or expense to the Administrative
Agent, at any time thereafter.  If the
servicer of the Collateral is not any of the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent shall have the right, as contemplated in the applicable Servicer
Redirection Notice, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to terminate
any Servicer and any applicable Servicing Agreement and any PSA Servicer and
any applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent a PSA Servicer
signed a Servicer Redirection Notice and, in each case, to transfer servicing
to its designee, at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, it being
agreed that the Borrowers will pay any and all fees required to terminate each
such Servicer, PSA Servicer, Servicing Agreement and Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and to terminate such Servicing Agreement and effectuate the transfer
of servicing to the designee of the Administrative Agent.  The Borrowers shall cooperate fully and shall
cause all Servicers and applicable PSA Servicers to cooperate fully with the
Administrative Agent in transferring the servicing of the Collateral to the
Administrative Agent’s designee.

 

Section 9.7                                   Modification.

 

Unless
otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its discretion until the
Administrative Agent releases its Lien on any item of Collateral, neither the
Borrowers, the Servicers, PSA Servicer (unless otherwise provided in a Pooling
and Servicing Agreement) nor any other Person acting on behalf of the foregoing
shall have any right without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent
in its discretion to (i) waive, amend, modify or alter the material terms
of any item of Collateral (including, without limitation, the related Mortgage
Loan Documents), the Servicing Agreements or the Pooling and Servicing
Agreements or (ii) exercise any material rights of a holder of any item of
Collateral under any document or agreement governing or relating to such
Collateral, in each case except as provided in the Custodial Agreement.  The Administrative Agent agrees to promptly
consider any request for consent under this Section 9.7.

 

109

 

Section 9.8                                   Inspection.

 

In the
event the Borrowers or their Affiliates are servicing the Collateral, the
Borrowers or Affiliates shall permit the Administrative Agent to inspect the
Borrowers’ and any of their Affiliates’ servicing facilities, books and records
and related documents and information, as the case may be, for the purpose of
satisfying the Administrative Agent that that Borrowers or their Affiliates, as
the case may be, have the ability to service and are servicing the Collateral
as provided in this Agreement.  If a
Servicer or PSA Servicer is servicing any Collateral, the Borrowers shall
cooperate with the Administrative Agent in causing each Servicer and PSA
Servicer to permit the Administrative Agent to inspect the Servicer’s and PSA
Servicer’s facilities, books and records and related documents and information
relating to the Collateral.

 

Section 9.9                                   Payment of
Certain Expenses by Servicer.

 

The
Borrowers and any Servicer will be required to pay all expenses incurred by
them in connection with their activities under this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents, including fees and disbursements of independent accountants,
Taxes imposed on the Borrowers or the Servicers, expenses incurred in
connection with payments and reports pursuant to this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents, and all other fees and expenses under this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents for the account of the Borrowers.  The Borrowers shall be required to pay all
fees and expenses owing to any bank or trust company in connection with the
maintenance of the Collection Account and all other collection, reserve or lock–box
accounts related to the Collateral.  The
Borrowers shall be required to pay such expenses for their own account and shall
not be entitled to any payment therefor.

 

Section 9.10                            Pooling and
Servicing Agreements.

 

Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Article IX, to the extent the Collateral (or
portions thereof) are serviced by a PSA Servicer (other than the Borrowers or
any Servicer) under a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (a) the standards
for servicing such items of Collateral shall be those set forth in the
applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to the extent of the items covered
therein, and otherwise as provided in this Agreement, (b) the Borrowers
shall enforce its rights and interests under such agreements for and on behalf
of the Administrative Agent, (c) the Borrowers shall instruct the

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 10.1                            Amendments,
Waivers and Release of Collateral.

 

Neither
this Agreement nor any of the other Credit Documents, nor any terms hereof or
thereof may be amended, modified, waived, extended, restated, replaced, or
supplemented (by amendment, waiver, consent or otherwise) except in accordance
with the provisions of this Section nor may Collateral be released except
as specifically provided herein or in the Security Documents or in accordance
with the provisions of this Section.  The
Required Lenders may, with the consent of each Affiliated Hedge Counterparty,
or the Administrative Agent may, with the written consent of the Required
Lenders and each Affiliated Hedge Counterparty, from time to time, (a) enter
into with the Borrowers written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto
and to the other Credit Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to
this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or changing in any manner the
rights of the Lenders or of the Borrowers hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive
or consent to the departure from, on such terms and conditions as the Required
Lenders may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this
Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any Default or Event of Default and
its consequences; provided, however, that no such amendment,
supplement, modification, release, waiver or consent shall:

 

(i)                                     reduce
the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Note or any
installment thereon (except in accordance with Section 2.4), or reduce the
stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except in connection with
a waiver of interest at the increased post-default rate set forth in Section 2.8
which shall be determined by a vote of the Required Lenders) or extend the
scheduled date of any payment thereof or increase the amount or extend the
expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written
consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that, it is
understood and agreed that (A) no waiver, reduction or deferral of a
mandatory prepayment required pursuant to Section 2.7(b), nor any
amendment of Section 2.7(b) or the definition of Asset Value shall
constitute a reduction of the amount of, or an extension of the scheduled date
of, the scheduled date of maturity of, or any installment of, any Loan or Note,
(B) any reduction in the stated rate of interest on Revolving Loans shall
only require the written consent of each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment
and (C) any reduction in the stated rate of interest on the Term Loan
shall only require the written consent of each Lender holding a portion of the
outstanding Term Loan; or

 

(ii)                                  amend,
modify or waive any provision of this Section or reduce the percentage specified
in the definition of Required Lenders, without the written consent of all the
Lenders; or

 

(iii)                               release any Borrower or
Guarantor from obligations under the Guarantee Agreement, without the written
consent of all of the Lenders; or

 

(iv)                             release
any Borrower or Guarantor from obligations under the Derivatives Guarantee
Agreement, without the written consent of each Affiliated Hedge Counterparty;
or

 

(v)                                 release
all or substantially all of the Collateral without the written consent of all
of the Lenders; or

 

(vi)                              subordinate
the Loans to any other Indebtedness without the written consent of all of the
Lenders; or

 

111

 

(vii)                           permit any Borrower to
assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or
other Credit Documents without the written consent of all of the Lenders; or

 

(viii)                        amend, modify or waive any
provision of the Credit Documents requiring consent, approval or request of the
Required Lenders or all Lenders without the written consent of the Required
Lenders or all the Lenders as appropriate; or

 

(ix)                                without
the consent of Revolving Lenders holding in the aggregate more than 50% of the
outstanding Revolving Commitments (or if the Revolving Commitments have been
terminated, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans),
amend, modify or waive any provision in Section 4.2 or waive any Default
or Event of Default (or amend any Credit Document to effectively waive any
Default or Event of Default) if the effect of such amendment, modification or
waiver is that the Revolving Lenders shall be required to fund Revolving Loans
when such Lenders would otherwise not be required to do so; or

 

(x)                                   amend,
modify or waive the order in which Obligations are paid or in a manner that
would alter the pro rata sharing of payments by and among the Lenders in Section 2.10
without the written consent of each Lender and directly affected thereby; or

 

(xi)                                amend,
modify or waive any provision of Article VIII without the written consent
of the then Administrative Agent; or

 

(xii)                             amend or modify the
definition of Obligations to delete or exclude any obligation or liability
described therein without the written consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby;

 

provided,
further, that no amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or
duties of the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document shall in any event
be effective, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in
addition to the Lenders and each Affiliated Hedge Counterparty required
hereinabove to take such action.  Unless
otherwise expressly provided herein, waivers shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

 

Any
such waiver, any such amendment, supplement or modification and any such
release shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon
the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent,
each Affiliated Hedge Counterparty and all future holders of the Notes.  In the case of any waiver, the Borrowers, the
other Credit Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Affiliated
Hedge Counterparty shall be restored to their former position and rights
hereunder and under the outstanding Loans and Notes and other Credit Documents,
and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not
continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing to the contrary, the consent of the Borrowers and the
other Credit Parties shall not be required for any amendment, modification or
waiver of the provisions of Article VIII (other than the provisions of Section 8.8).

 

Notwithstanding
the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain
circumstances as set forth above, (a) each Lender is entitled to vote as
such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the
Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of
the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth
herein and (b) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to
use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

 

112

 

For
the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in this Section 10.1, this Agreement may be amended (or amended
and restated) with the written consent of the Credit Parties and the Required
Lenders (i) to increase the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders (provided
that no Lender shall be required to increase its commitment without its
consent), (ii) to add one or more additional borrowing Tranches to this
Agreement and to provide for the ratable sharing of the benefits of this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the other then outstanding
Obligations in respect of the extensions of credit from time to time
outstanding under such additional borrowing Tranche(s) and the accrued
interest and fees in respect thereof and (iii) to include appropriately
the lenders under such additional borrowing Tranches in any determination of
the Required Lenders and/or to provide consent rights to such lenders under
subsections (x) and/or (xi) of Section 10.1 corresponding to the
consent rights of the other Lenders thereunder.

failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising
any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit

rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies
which the Agent or any Lender would otherwise have.  No notice to or demand on any Borrower in any
case shall entitle any Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand. 
An Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly

or arising out of any of 

 

116

 

the foregoing
clauses of this Section that, in each case, results from anything other
than any Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  In any suit, proceeding or action brought by
an Indemnitee in connection with any Collateral or any other collateral under
the Credit Documents for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions
of any Collateral or any other collateral under the Credit Documents, the
Credit Parties shall save, indemnify and hold such Indemnitee harmless from and
against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set–off,
counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the account
debtor, obligor or Obligor thereunder arising out of a breach by any Credit
Party of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement,
indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account
debtor, obligor or Obligor or its successors from any Credit Party.  Each of the Credit Parties also agrees to
reimburse an Indemnitee as and when billed by such Indemnitee for all such
Indemnitee’s costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the
enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnitee’s rights under this
Agreement, the Credit Documents, the Mortgage Loan Documents and any transaction
or Extension of Credit contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without
limitation, the fees and disbursements of its counsel.  In the case of an investigation, litigation
or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section applies, such
indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or
proceeding is brought by any Credit Party and/or any of their officers,
directors, shareholders, employees or creditors, an Indemnitee or any other
Person or any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any
transaction contemplated hereby is consummated.

 

(ii)                                  Each
Borrower shall, whether or not any transaction contemplated hereby is
consummated: (i) pay as when billed by the Administrative Agent, and in
any event within three (3) days after demand from the Administrative
Agent, all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all fees and
disbursements of outside legal counsel, accounting, consulting, brokerage or
other similar professional fees or expenses, and any fees and expenses
associated with travel or other costs relating to any appraisals or
examinations conducted in connection with any Loans or any proposed Collateral,
and the amount of such costs and expenses shall, until paid, bear interest at
the greater of (x) 5.25% per annum in excess of the Prime Rate in effect
from time to time or (y) 0.50% per annum in excess of the Alternate Base
Rate in effect from time to time (or at such greater rate plus 6.00%, at any
time the ABR Default Rate is applicable to any Loan)) (A) of the
Administrative Agent in connection with the development, preparation, execution
and delivery of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this
Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other documents prepared in
connection herewith or therewith and the documents and instruments referred to
herein and therein (including, without limitation, all fees, disbursements and
expenses of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP and/or other counsel
incurred as of the date of this Agreement) and (B) of the Administrative
Agent in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto or thereto and
the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein; (ii) pay and
hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all present and future
stamp, documentary, issue, sales and use, value added, property and other
similar Taxes (other than Taxes imposed on net income) with respect to the
matters described in foregoing clause (i) and hold each Indemnitee
harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting
from any delay or omission to pay such Taxes; and (iii) indemnify each
Indemnitee from and hold each of them harmless against any and all Indemnified
Amounts incurred by any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any
way related to, or by reason of, the entering into and/or performance of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document or the use of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder
or the consummation of any transactions contemplated herein or in any other
Credit Document, including, without limitation, (A) the out-of-pocket due
diligence, inspection, appraisals, testing and review costs and expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent with respect to Collateral submitted by
any Borrower under this Agreement, including, but not limited 

 

117

 

to, those costs
and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article IX
and Section 10.26, (B) the fees and disbursements of counsel incurred
in connection therewith and (C) any environmental liabilities with respect
to any real estate or other assets held by any Borrower or any of its
Affiliates (but excluding any such Indemnified Amounts to the extent incurred
by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be
indemnified).

 

(iii)                               For the avoidance of
doubt, an Indemnitee may seek payment of any Indemnified Amount at any time and
regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists or is
continuing.

 

(iv)                              If
for any reason the indemnification provided in this Section is unavailable
to the Indemnitee or is insufficient to hold an Indemnitee harmless, then the
Credit Parties shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnitee as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received
by such Indemnitee on the one hand and the Credit Parties on the other hand but
also the relative fault of such Indemnitee as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.

 

(v)                                 Without
prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Borrower hereunder, the
obligations of the Credit Parties under this Article X are joint and
several and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

(vi)                              Indemnification
under this Section shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnitee
whole after taking into account any tax consequences to the Indemnitee of the
receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder, including the effect of such tax
or refund on the amount of tax measured by net income or profits that is or was
payable by the Indemnitee.

 

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

 

(d)                                 Waiver
of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To
the fullest extent permitted by Requirements of Law, the Credit Parties shall
not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory
of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as
opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as
a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above
shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients
of any information or other materials distributed by it through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in
connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby.  The
provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment in full of the Obligations.

Section 10.6                            Successors
and Assigns; Participations.

 

(a)                                  Successors
and Assigns Generally.  The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby, except that neither the Borrowers nor any other Credit Party may assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and any attempt by any Credit
Party to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent shall be null and void.

 

(b)                                 Assignments
by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any
time assign to any Person which is an Eligible Transferee (each such Person, an
“Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the
time owing to it) and the other Credit Documents; provided that any such
assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)                                     Minimum
Amounts.

 

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

 

(B)                                in
any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate principal amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes
Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect,
the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent or, if “Trade Date”
is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not
be less than $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a
revolving facility, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of
a term facility (provided, however, that simultaneous assignments
shall be aggregated in respect of a Lender and its Approved Funds), unless the
Administrative Agent consents.

 

(ii)                                  Proportionate
Amounts.  Each partial assignment
shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan
or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not
prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and
obligations among separate Tranches on a non-pro rata basis.

 

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

 

(A)                            the
consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such
assignment is to an existing Lender, an Affiliate of an existing Lender or an
Approved Fund; and

 

(B)                              the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect
of (i) a Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is
not a 

 

119

 

Lender with a
Commitment in respect of such facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an
Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) a Term Loan Commitment
to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

 

(iv)                              Assignment
and Assumption.  The parties to each
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment
and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and the
assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire.

 

(v)                                 No
Assignment to Credit Parties.  No
such assignment shall be made to any Credit Party or any of the Credit Parties’
Affiliates or Subsidiaries of a Credit Party.

 

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

 

Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to
this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering
all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 2.18 and 10.5 with respect to facts and circumstances
occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
paragraph 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 (d) of this Section.

 

(c)                                  Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for
this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a register within the
meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103 1(c) (the “Register”)
on which it will record the Loans made hereunder, and each assignment and
acceptance and participation.  The
Register shall include the names and addresses of Lenders (including all
assignees, successors and Participants), and the principal amount of the Loans
owing to such Lender.  Failure to make
any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the
Borrowers’ obligations in respect of such Loans.  If a Lender sells a participation in any
Loan, it shall provide Borrowers, or maintain as agent of Borrowers, the
information described in this paragraph and permit Borrowers to review such
information as reasonably needed for Borrowers to comply with their obligations
under this Agreement or under any applicable law or governmental regulation or
procedure.

 

(d)                                 Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, upon notice to
the Borrowers, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person
or the Credit Parties or any of the Credit Parties’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries
of a Credit Party) which is an Eligible Transferee (each such Person, a “Participant”) in all
or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided
that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

 

120

 

Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant,
agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that affects such
Participant.  Subject to paragraph (e) of
this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 2.15 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of
this Section.  To the extent permitted by
Requirements of Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees
to be subject to Section 2.10 as though it were a Lender.

 

(e)                                  Limitations
upon Participant Rights.  A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections
2.14 and 2.17 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 Borrowers’ prior written
consent.  A Participant that would be a
Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14
unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant
and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.14
as though it were a Lender.

 

(f)                                    Disclosures.  Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to
disclose to any Assignee or Participant (including any prospective Assignee or
Participant) any and all of the information in the possession of such Lender
relating to the Borrower and its Affiliates or to any aspect of the Loans that
has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the credit
evaluation of the Lenders and their Affiliates prior to becoming a party to
this Agreement; provided, that such Assignee or Participant shall have
agreed to be bound by the provisions of Section 10.13 hereof.  Each Borrower agrees to cooperate with the
applicable Lender in connection with any such sale of participating interests
or assignments and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments,
supplements and other modifications to, this Agreement to give effect to any
such sale or transfer; provided, that the Borrower’s further consent
shall be required with respect to any such restatement, amendment, supplement
or other modification which adversely changes any economic or other material
term of this Agreement.

 

(g)                                 Certain
Pledges.   The parties to this
Agreement acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement shall limit or otherwise
restrict the right of any Lender to grant security interests in its rights
hereunder, including, without limitation, (i) any security interest in all
or any portion of any Lender’s rights under this Agreement to any Federal
Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal
Reserve Bank, and (ii) any pledge or assignment for the benefit of the
assignor’s trustee and/or its investors or financing parties to secure its
obligations under any indenture, credit facility or Authority Documents to
which it is a party; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a
security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto.

 

Section 10.7                            Right of Set
off; Sharing of Payments.

 

(a)                                  In
addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or
otherwise, and not by way of limitation of such rights, each Borrower hereby
grants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a right of offset, to secure
repayment of all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the
Borrowers under the Credit Documents, upon any and all monies, securities,
collateral or other property of the Borrower and the proceeds therefrom, now or
hereafter held or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any
entity under the control of the Administrative Agent or 

 

121

 

any Lender and
their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation,
branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent, wherever located), for the
account of the Borrower, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge,
transmission, collection, or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits
(general or specified) and credits of the Borrower at any time existing.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time
to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
without notice to any Borrower, to offset, appropriate, apply and enforce such
right of offset against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any
amounts owing to any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent by the
Borrowers under the Credit Documents, irrespective of whether any of the
Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand hereunder and
although such amounts, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured and
regardless of any other collateral securing such amounts.  Each Borrower shall be deemed directly
indebted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the full amount of all
amounts owing to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers
under the Credit Documents, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to exercise the rights of offset provided for above.  ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE ANY OF THE
LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH
RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE AMOUNTS OWING TO ANY OF THE
LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT BY THE BORROWERS UNDER THE CREDIT
DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF OFFSET WITH RESPECT TO SUCH MONIES,
SECURITIES, COLLATERAL, DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF ANY BORROWER,
ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY EACH BORROWER.

 

(b)                                 If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving
payment of a proportion of the aggregate principal amount of its Loans and
accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro  rata
share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase
(for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations
of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so
that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

 

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

 

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

 

(c)                                  Each
Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each
Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit
Party in the amount of such participation.

Integration; Effectiveness.  This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to
the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous

Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties

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

 

Section 10.10                     Severability.

 

Any
provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of

other jurisdiction.

Agreement or any other Credit Document to which such Credit Party is a party
may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States
for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Credit Party hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in
respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the
aforesaid courts.  Each Credit Party irrevocably
consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in
any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid to the Credit Party at its address as
designated in Section 10.2 of this Agreement, such service to become 

 

123

 

effective ten (10) days
after such mailing.  Nothing herein shall
affect the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed
against any Credit Party in any other jurisdiction.

 

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

 

(c)                                  Except
as prohibited by law, each Credit Party hereby waives any right it may have to
claim or recover in any litigation any special, exemplary, punitive or
consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual
damages.  Each Credit Party certifies
that no representative, agent or attorney of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Administrative Agent or any
Lender would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing
waiver.  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
without limitation contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all
other common law and statutory claims.

party hereto acknowledges that this waiver is a material inducement to enter
into a business relationship, that each has already relied on this waiver in
entering into this agreement, and that each will continue to rely on this
waiver in their related future dealings. 
Each party hereto further warrants and represents that it has reviewed
this waiver with its legal counsel and that knowingly and voluntarily waives
its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel.

 

(e)                                  This
waiver is irrevocable, meaning that it may not be modified either orally or in
writing, and this waiver shall apply to any subsequent amendments, renewals,
supplements or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Credit
Documents or to any other documents or agreements relating to any transaction
entered into hereunder.  In the event of
litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the
court.

and the payment in full of the Obligations.

other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as

Borrowers, deliver all the Collateral in its possession to the Borrowers and
release all Liens on the Collateral; provided that should any payment,

Credit Party acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and each Lender has the
right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the
Collateral and the Credit Parties and Consolidated Subsidiaries of the
foregoing for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations,
warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and each Credit
Party agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Day’s)

Several Liability; Full Recourse Obligations.

 

(a)                                  At
all times during which there is more than one (1) Borrower under this
Agreement, each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such
Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable to the Administrative Agent and

absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect (or be
reinstated) until all the Obligations shall have been paid in full and the
expiration of any applicable preference or similar period pursuant to any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law, or at law or
in equity, without any claim having been made before the expiration of such
period asserting an interest in all or any part of any payment(s) received
by the Administrative Agent, and (B) until such payment has been made,
shall not be discharged, affected, modified or impaired on the happening from
time to time of any event, including, without limitation, any of the following,
whether or not with notice to or the consent of the Credit Parties or any other
Person, (1) the waiver, compromise, settlement, release, termination or
amendment (including, without limitation, any extension or postponement of the
time for payment or performance or renewal or refinancing) of any or all of the
obligations or agreements of any Credit Party under this Agreement or any
Credit Document, (2) the failure to give notice to the Credit Parties of
the occurrence of an Event of Default under any of the Credit Documents, (3) the
release, substitution or exchange by the Administrative Agent of any or all of
the Collateral (whether with or without consideration) or the acceptance by the
Administrative Agent of any additional collateral or the availability or
claimed availability of any other collateral or source of repayment or any
nonperfection or other impairment of collateral, (4) the release of any
Person primarily or secondarily liable for all or any part of the Obligations,
whether by the Administrative Agent or in connection with any voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy,
assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar event or proceeding
affecting any or all of the Credit Parties or any other Person who, or any of
whose Property, shall at the time in question be obligated in respect of the
Obligations or any part thereof, or (5) to the extent permitted by
Requirements of Law, any other event, occurrence, action or circumstance that
would, in the absence of this Section, result in the release or discharge of
any or all of the Borrowers from the performance or observance of any
obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the Credit
Documents, (iv) the Administrative Agent shall not be required first to
initiate any suit or to exhaust its remedies against the Credit Parties or any
other Person to become liable, or against any of the Collateral, in order to
enforce this Agreement or the Credit Documents and the Credit Parties expressly
agree that, notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the foregoing, each
Borrower shall be and remain directly and primarily liable for all sums due
under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, (v) when making
any demand hereunder against any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the
other Borrowers, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or Lenders to make
any such demand or to collect any payments from the other Borrowers, or any
release of such other Borrowers, shall not relieve any Borrower in respect of
which a demand or collection is not made or the Borrowers not so released of
their obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the
rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders against the Borrowers and (vi) on
disposition by the Administrative Agent of any Property 

 

129

 

encumbered by any
Collateral, each Borrower shall be and shall remain jointly and severally
liable for any deficiency.

 

(b)                                 Each
Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent another Borrower shall have paid
more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, the Borrowers
shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other
Borrowers which have not paid their proportionate share of such payment; provided
however, that the provisions of this Section shall in no respect
limit the obligations and liabilities of each Borrower to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders and, notwithstanding any payment or payments made by a
Borrower (the “Paying Borrower”)
hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of the Paying Borrower by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders, the Paying Borrower shall not be entitled
to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders against any other Borrowers or any collateral security or guarantee or
right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor shall the
Paying Borrower seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement
from the other Borrowers in respect of payments made by the Paying Borrower
hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
by the Borrowers under the Credit Documents and the Obligations (but only to
the extent that an event of default, an event that, with the notice or the
lapse of time, would become an event of default, or any acceleration has
occurred with respect to such other Obligations) are paid in full.  If any amount shall be paid to the Paying
Borrower on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all such
amounts shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the
Paying Borrower in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregated from other
funds of the Paying Borrower, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Paying
Borrower, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received
by the Paying Borrower (duly indorsed by the Paying Borrower to the
Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against amounts owing to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrowers under the Credit
Documents and the Obligations (but only to the extent that an event of default,
an event that, with the notice or the lapse of time, would become an event of
default, or any acceleration has occurred with respect to such other
Obligations) in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine in its
discretion.

 

(c)                                  Each
Borrower shall remain obligated under this Section 10.28 notwithstanding
that, without any reservation of rights against the Borrower and without notice
to or further assent by the Borrower, any demand by the Administrative Agent
for payment of any amounts owing to the Administrative Agent or any Borrower by
any other Borrower under the Credit Documents may be rescinded by the
Administrative Agent and any the payment of any such amounts may be continued, and
the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any
collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect
thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended,
amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by
the Administrative Agent, and this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and
any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be
amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the
Administrative Agent may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral
security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative
Agent for the payment of amounts owing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender
by the Borrowers under the Credit Documents may be sold, exchanged, waived,
surrendered or released.  The
Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect
or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for amounts owing to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender by the Borrowers under the Credit Documents,
or any property subject thereto.  When
making any demand hereunder against any Borrower, the Administrative Agent may,
but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any other
Borrower, and any failure by the Administrative Agent to make any such demand
or to collect any payments from any other Borrower, or any release of such
other Borrower shall not relieve any Borrower in respect of which a demand or collection
is not made or the Borrowers not so released of their obligations or
liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies,
express or implied, or as a matter of law, 

 

130

 

of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders against the Borrowers.  For the purposes hereof “demand” shall
include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

 

(d)                                 Each
Borrower waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual
of any amounts at any time owing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by
any other Borrower under the Credit Documents and notice of or proof of
reliance by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders upon the Borrower or
acceptance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.28,
and all such amounts, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have
been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived,
in reliance upon the obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 10.28;
and all dealings between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively
presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the obligations of
the Borrowers under this Section 10.28. 
Each Borrower waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment
and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower with respect to any
amounts at any time owing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders by the
Borrower under the Credit Documents, other than such notices as are expressly
required to be given under this Agreement or any of the other Credit
Documents.  Each Borrower understands and
agrees that it shall continue to be liable under this Section 10.28
without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of any
other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, any amounts at
any time owing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders by the Borrowers
under the Credit Documents, or any other collateral security therefor or
guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to
time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense,
set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which
may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower against the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance
whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrowers) which
constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal
discharge of the Borrowers for any amounts owing to the Administrative Agent or
the Lenders by the Borrowers under the Credit Documents, or of the Borrowers
under this Agreement, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.  When pursuing its rights and remedies
hereunder against any Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may,
but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may
have against the Borrower or any other Person or against any collateral
security or guarantee related thereto or any right of offset with respect
thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to pursue
such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower or
any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or
guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the
Borrower or any such other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or
right of offset, shall not relieve Borrower of any liability hereunder, and
shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or
available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against
Borrower.

 

(e)                                  Anything
herein or in any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the
maximum liability of any Borrower hereunder in respect of the liabilities of
the other Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall
in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by the Borrower under
applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.

 

(f)                                    The
obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors under the Credit Documents are
full recourse obligations to each Borrower and Guarantor and the Borrowers and
the Guarantors hereby forever waive, demise, acquit and discharge any and all
defenses, and shall at no time assert or allege any defense, to the contrary.

 

Section 10.29                     Administrative
Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

 

131

 

(a)                                  Following
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any
officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact (coupled with an interest) with full irrevocable power
and authority in the place and stead of the Borrower and in the name of the
Borrower or in its own name, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s
discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to
take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and
instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Borrower hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and
right, on behalf of the Borrower, without assent by, but with written notice
to, the Borrower, to do the following:

 

(i)                                     in
the name of the Borrower, or in its own name, or otherwise, to take possession
of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other
instruments for the payment of moneys due under any mortgage insurance or with
respect to any other Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other
action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed
appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and
all such moneys due under any such mortgage insurance or with respect to any
other Collateral whenever payable;

 

(ii)                                  to
pay or discharge Taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the
Collateral;

 

(iii)                               (A) to
direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of
any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the
Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (B) to
ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all
moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of
or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices,
assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any
Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or
proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to
collect the Collateral or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right
in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding
brought against the Borrower with respect to any Collateral; (F) to
settle, compromise or adjust without the Borrower’s consent any suit, action or
proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to
give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate;
and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with
respect to or otherwise deal with any Collateral as fully and completely as
though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all
purposes, and to do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and the Borrower’s
expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which the
Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the
Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s Liens thereon and to effect the
intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Borrower might
do;

 

(iv)                              to
direct the actions of the Custodian with respect to the Collateral under the
Custodial Agreement; and

 

(v)                                 to
execute, from time to time, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 7.2,
any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer
with respect to the Purchased Items.

 

Each
Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to
be done by the express terms hereof. 
This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable.

 

132

 

(b)                                 The
powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the
interests of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Collateral and
Mortgage Assets and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such
powers.  The Administrative Agent shall
be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the
exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to any Borrower for any act or failure
to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

Liability of the Guarantor.

 

Without  limiting  the  foregoing  provisions,  each  Guarantor  agrees  that  this  Guarantee  may  be  enforced  by  the  Administrative  Agent  and  the  Lenders  without  the  necessity  at  any  time  of  resorting  to  or  exhausting  any  other  security  or  collateral  and  without  the  necessity  at  any  time  of  having  recourse  to  any  of  the  Credit  Documents,  the  Collateral,  the  Pledged  Collateral  or  any  collateral,  security  or  Property  now  or  hereafter  securing  the  Guarantee  or  the  Guarantee  Obligations  or  otherwise,  and  each  Guarantor  hereby  waives  the  right  to  require  the  Administrative  Agent  or  the  Lenders  to  proceed  against  the  Borrowers,  the  Pledgors,  any  other  Credit  Party,  any  Obligor  or  any  other  Person  (including  a  co–guarantor)  or  to  require  the  Administrative  Agent  or  the  Lenders  to  pursue  any  other  remedy  or  enforce  any  other  right.  Each  Guarantor  further  agrees  that  such  Guarantor  shall  have  no  right  of  subrogation,  reimbursement  or  indemnity  whatsoever  against  any  Person,  or  any  right  of  recourse  to  the  Collateral,  the  Pledged  Collateral  or  any  collateral,  security  or  Property  for  the  Guarantee  or  the  Guarantee  Obligations,  so  long  as  any  such  Guarantee  Obligations  remain  outstanding.  Each  Guarantor  further  agrees  that  nothing  contained  herein  shall  prevent  the  Administrative  Agent  or  the  Lenders  from  suing  on  the  Credit  Agreement  or  any  of  the  other  Credit  Documents  or  foreclosing  its  security  interest  in  or  Lien  on  any  Collateral,  the  Pledged  Collateral  or  any  collateral,  security  or  Property  now  or  hereafter  securing  the  Guarantee  or  the  Guarantee  Obligations  or  from  exercising  any  other  rights  available  to  it  under  the  Credit  Agreement  or  any  of  the  other  Credit  Documents  or  any  other  instrument  of  security  if  none  of  the  Borrowers,  the  Pledgors,  the  Guarantors  or  any  other  Credit  Party  timely  perform  the  obligations  of  the  Borrowers,  the  Pledgors,  all  other  Credit  Parties  or  other  Persons  thereunder,  and  the  exercise  of  any  of  the  aforesaid  rights  and  the  completion  of  any  foreclosure  proceedings  shall  not  constitute  a  discharge  of  such  Guarantor’s  obligations  hereunder;  it  being  the  purpose  and  intent  of  each  Guarantor  that  such  Guarantor’s  obligations  hereunder  shall  be  absolute,  independent  and  unconditional  under  any  and  all  circumstances.  Each  Guarantor  recognizes,  acknowledges  and  agrees  that  such  Guarantor  may  be  

 

10

 

required  to  pay  the  Guarantee  Obligations  in  full  (subject  to  the  limit  set  forth  in  Section  2)  without  assistance  or  support  of  any  other  Person,  and  such  Guarantor  has  not  been  induced  to  enter  into  this  Guarantee  on  the  basis  of  a  contemplation,  belief,  understanding  or  agreement  that  other  parties  will  be  liable  to  pay  or  perform  the  Guarantee  Obligations,  or  that  the  Administrative  Agent  or  the  Lenders  will  look  to  other  parties  to  pay  or  perform  the  Guarantee  Obligations.  Each  Guarantor  recognizes,  acknowledges  and  agrees  that  it  is  not  entering  into  this  Guarantee  in  reliance  on,  or  in  contemplation  of  the  benefits  of,  the  validity,  enforceability,  collectability  or  value  of  the  Collateral,  the  Pledged  Collateral  or  any  of  the  collateral,  security  or  Property  for  the  Guarantee  or  the  Guarantee  Obligations  or  of  the  validity,  enforceability  or  collectability  of  this  Guarantee  against  any  other  Guarantor.

and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent
or the Lenders to pursue collection, to preserve or enforce its rights under
this Guarantee, or to intervene, to sue for enforcement of the terms of this
Guarantee or to file a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleading in
any suit or proceeding relating to this Guarantee, and, in such event, all of
the attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses relating thereto and all other amounts
(if any) owed by the Guarantor under this Guarantee (other than the Guarantee Obligations)
shall be an additional liability of the Guarantor to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders (over and above any limitation set forth in Section 2,
if any), payable on demand.  The
obligations contained in this Section 8 shall survive the termination
of this Guarantee.

 

9.                                      Security
Interests and Setoff.

 

Each Guarantor agrees that in the event any Guarantor
fails to pay its obligations hereunder when due and payable under this
Guarantee, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to (a) any
and all remedies available to it including, without limitation, all rights of
setoff and (b) the benefit of all Liens heretofore, now and at any time or

hereunder.

 

10.                               Term of Guarantee.

 

This Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect
until the Guarantee Obligations are fully and indefeasibly paid, performed and
discharged and the Credit Documents are terminated.  This Guarantee covers the Guarantee

Guarantee Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders as a preference, fraudulent conveyance
or otherwise upon or in connection with an Insolvency, Act of Insolvency,
Insolvency Proceeding, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization

Borrowers or such other Person or any substantial part
of such Borrowers’ or such other Person’s Property or assets, or otherwise, all

payment of all or any part of the Guarantee Obligations is rescinded or must be
restored or returned, all costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
any legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as
a part of the Guarantee Obligations.

or as security for the Guarantee Obligations or under Requirements of Law are

concurrently, or not pursued, without affecting, limiting or impairing any
other right of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and without limiting,
affecting or impairing the liability of the Guarantor.

 

17

 

15.                               Assignments.

 

(a)                                  Assignments
by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. 
This Guarantee is intended for and shall inure to the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each and every Person who shall from time
to time be or become the owner or holder of any of the Guarantee Obligations,
and each and every reference herein to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall include and refer to each and every successor, assignee, pledgee and
participant of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the successors,
assignees and participants of the foregoing at any time holding or owning any
part of or interest in any part of the Guarantee Obligations.  This Guarantee shall be transferable and
negotiable by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with the same force and
effect, and to the same extent, that the Guarantee Obligations are transferable
and negotiable, it being understood and stipulated that, upon assignment or any
such transfer by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any of the Guarantee
Obligations, the legal holder or owner of said Guarantee Obligations (or a part
thereof or interest therein thus transferred or assigned) shall (except as
otherwise stipulated by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in its
assignment) have and may exercise all of the rights granted to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Guarantee to the extent of that
part of or interest in the Guarantee Obligations thus assigned or so
transferred to said Person.  Each
Guarantor expressly waives notice of any such transfer or assignment of the
Guarantee Obligations, or any part thereof, or of the rights of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder. 
Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any action taken hereunder
shall not release or discharge this Guarantee or any obligations of such
Guarantor hereunder.

 

(b)                                 Assignments
by Guarantor.  This Guarantee may not
be assigned, and the Guarantor’s agreements, duties, obligations and covenants
hereunder may not be delegated, in whole or in part by the Guarantor.  All agreements, duties, obligations and
covenants of the Guarantor hereunder shall bind and shall be enforceable
against the Guarantor’s successors and assigns.

 

16.                               Application
of Payments.

 

The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may apply any payments received by them
from any source against such portion of the Guarantee Obligations and in such
priority and fashion as they may deem appropriate in their sole and absolute
discretion.

 

17.                               Counterclaims;
Setoff.

 

Each
Guarantor waives all rights to interpose any claims, deduction or counterclaims
of any kind, nature or description in any action or proceeding instituted by
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to this Guarantee, the
Guarantee Obligations, the Collateral, the Pledged Collateral, the collateral,
security or Property for the Guarantee or the Guarantee Obligations or any
matter arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, except compulsory
counterclaims.  Each Guarantor hereby
waives any right of setoff it may have or to which it may be entitled under
this Guarantee, the Credit Documents or Requirements of Law from time to time
against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or their assets or
Property.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Guarantee, until the Guarantee Obligations have
been indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates any and all rights it may now or
hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without
limitation, any law subrogating such Guarantor to the rights of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders), to assert any claim against or seek
contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from the
Borrowers, the Pledgors, any other Credit Party or any other Person liable for
payment of any or all of the Guarantee Obligations for any payment made by such
Guarantor under or in connection with this Guarantee or otherwise.

 

18

 

18.                               Bankruptcy
Code Waiver.

 

In the
event that a Borrower becomes a debtor in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy
Code, no Guarantor shall be deemed to be a “creditor” (as defined in Section 101
of the Bankruptcy Code) of such Borrower, by reason of the existence of this
Guarantee, and in connection herewith, each Guarantor hereby waives any such
right as a “creditor” under the Bankruptcy Code.  This waiver is given to induce the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into the transactions contemplated
by the Credit Documents.  After the
Guarantee Obligations are paid in full and there shall be no obligations or
liabilities under this Guarantee outstanding, this waiver shall be deemed to be
terminated.

 

19.                               The
Borrowers’ and Pledgor’s Actions.

 

No
encumbrance, assignment, leasing, subletting, sale or other transfer by a
Borrower or a Pledgor of any of the Borrowers’ or the Pledgors’ assets or
Property shall operate to extinguish or diminish the liability of any Guarantor
under this Guarantee.

 

20.                               Subordination.

 

(a)                                  As
used in this Guarantee, the term “Guarantor
Claims” shall mean all debts, liabilities and other
Indebtedness of the Borrowers, the Pledgors, any Guarantor, any other Credit
Party or any other Person obligated to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or
any other Person specified under any Credit Document to a Guarantor, whether
such debts, liabilities and other Indebtedness now exist or are hereafter
incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of such Borrower, Pledgor, Guarantor,
other Credit Party or such other Person thereon be direct, contingent, primary,
secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of
whether such debts, liabilities or other Indebtedness be evidenced by note,
contract, open account or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons
in whose favor such debts, liabilities or other Indebtedness may, at their
inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they
have been or may hereafter be acquired by a Guarantor.  The Guarantor Claims shall include, without
limitation, all rights and claims of a Guarantor against the Borrowers, the
Pledgors, any other Guarantor, other Credit Parties or other Persons (arising
as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of a Guarantor’s payment
of all or a portion of the Guarantee Obligations.  All Guarantor Claims are and shall be
subordinate to the Guarantee Obligations.

 

(b)                                 In
the event of any Insolvency Proceedings involving any Guarantor as debtor, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the right to prove its claim in
any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive
directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and any
payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims to the extent
of any sums owed by the Guarantors hereunder. 
Each Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to the
Administrative Agent as agent for the Lenders. 
Should the Administrative Agent as agent for the Lenders receive, for
application upon the Guarantee Obligations, any such dividend or payment which
is otherwise payable to a Guarantor, and which, as between the Borrowers, the
Pledgors, any other Guarantor or any other Person described in clause (a) above
on the one hand and the applicable Guarantor on the other, shall constitute a
credit upon the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment to the Administrative Agent
as agent for the Lenders in full of the Guarantee Obligations, such Guarantor
shall become subrogated to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders to the extent that such payments to the Administrative Agent as agent
for the Lenders on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation
of the Guarantee Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to
that proportion of the Guarantee Obligations which would have been unpaid if
the Administrative Agent as agent for the Lenders had not received dividends or
payments upon the Guarantor Claims.

 

19

 

(c)                                  In
the event that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guarantee, any
Guarantor should receive any funds, payment, claim or distribution which is
prohibited by this Guarantee, such Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for the
Administrative Agent as agent for the Lenders an amount equal to the amount of
all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and agrees that it
shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments,
claims or distributions so received except to pay them promptly to the
Administrative Agent as agent for the Lenders, and the Guarantor covenants
promptly to pay the same to the Administrative Agent as agent for the Lenders.

 

(d)                                 Each
Guarantor agrees that any claims, charges or Liens against the Borrowers, the
Pledgors, any other Guarantor, other Credit Parties or any other Persons
described under clause (a) above and/or such Borrower’s, such
Pledgor’s, any other Guarantor’s, any other Credit Party’s or such other Person’s
assets and Property with respect to the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain
inferior and subordinate to any claims, charges or Liens of the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders against the Borrowers, the Pledgors, any Guarantor, any
other Credit Party or any such other Person and/or such Borrower’s, such
Pledgor’s, any Guarantor’s, any such other Credit Party’s or such other Person’s

it may have against the Borrowers, the Pledgors, any other Guarantor, any other
Credit Party or any other Person described under clause (a) above,
or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or

pursuant to Section 25 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or
otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have
acquiesced in any default or event of default or in any breach of any of the
terms and conditions hereof.  No failure
to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative
Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof.  No single or partial exercise
of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  A waiver by the Administrative Agent of any
right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar
to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent would otherwise have on
any future occasion.

 

25.                               Amendments
and Waivers.

or inaction), the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction or as applied to any other Person, fact, circumstance, action or
inaction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  This Guarantee contains the final and
complete integration of all prior expressions by each Guarantor hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement
of each Guarantor hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding
all prior oral or written understandings and there are no promises or
representations by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the
subject matter hereof not reflected herein.

GUARANTOR HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 29
CONSTITUTE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT

23

 

33.                               Discretion.

 

Reference
herein or in any Credit Document to the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’

Guarantee, the Credit Documents or any other agreement, instrument or document

In
addition to any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
provided by this Guarantee, the Credit Documents and by Requirements of Law,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the right, without prior
notice to the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Pledgors or any other Credit
Party, any such notice being expressly waived by the Guarantors to the extent
permitted by Requirements of Law, and regardless of the existence of any other
collateral, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Guarantors to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, under the Credit Documents or
otherwise (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or 

 

24

 

otherwise) to set–off and appropriate and apply

Guarantors, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,

REQUIRE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR
REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE AMOUNTS OWING
TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS BY THE BORROWERS, THE GUARANTORS,

ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY EACH GUARANTOR.

(b)                                 neither

Lenders and the Guarantor is solely that of surety and creditor; and

 

(c)                                  no
joint venture exists between or among any of the Administrative Agent, the

reorganization, moratorium or similar law, or at law or in equity, without any
claim having been made before the expiration of such period asserting an
interest in all or any part of any payment(s) received by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders, and (ii) until such payment has been
made and such obligations satisfied, shall not be discharged, affected,

failure to give notice to 

 

25

 

the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Pledgors
or any other Credit Party of the occurrence of an Event of Default under any of

other Person who, or any of whose Property or assets, shall at the time in
question be obligated in respect of the Obligations or the Guarantee
Obligations or any part thereof, or (E) to the extent permitted by
Requirements of Law, any other event, occurrence, action or circumstance that
would, in the absence of this Section 37, result in the release or
discharge of any or all of the Guarantors from the performance or observance of
any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Credit Agreement or the
Credit Documents; (b) each Guarantor expressly agrees that the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be required first to initiate
any suit or to exhaust its remedies against the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the

against any of the Collateral, the Pledged Collateral or any collateral,
security or Property for this Guarantee or the Guarantee Obligations, in order

agrees that, notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the foregoing, each
Guarantor shall be and remain directly and primarily liable for all sums due

(b)                                 Each
Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the extent another Guarantor shall have paid
more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor
shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other
Guarantor which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment; provided,
however, that the provisions of this Subsection 37(b) shall
in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and, notwithstanding any payment or
payments made by a Guarantor (the “paying Guarantor”) hereunder or any set-off or
application of funds of the paying Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders, the paying Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of
the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against any other
Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor shall the paying Guarantor seek or
be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the other Guarantors
in respect of payments made by the paying Guarantor hereunder, until all
amounts owing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders by the Guarantors
under this Guarantee and the other Credit Documents are paid in full.  If any amount shall be paid to the paying
Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all such
amounts shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the
paying Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
segregated from other funds of the paying Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon
receipt by the paying Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent as
agent for the Lenders, in the exact form received by the paying Guarantor (duly
indorsed by the paying Guarantor to the Administrative Agent as agent for the
Lenders, if required), to be applied against amounts owing to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders by the Guarantors under this Guarantee and the other
Credit Documents, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may determine in their discretion.
