      409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder, then the Company shall
      delay the commencement of such payments (without any reduction) by a
      period of six (6) months after Executive’s termination of
      employment.  Any payments that would have been paid during such
      six (6) month period but for the provisions of the preceding sentence

      payment delay requirement of this Section 2(c) shall apply only to the
      extent that the payments under this Section 2 are otherwise subject to
      Code Section 409A.  With respect to payments or benefits under
      this Agreement that are subject to Code Section 409A, whether Executive

      any business expenses within ninety (90) days of her termination date and
      any reimbursements of such expenses that are taxable to the Executive
      shall be made on or before the last day of the year following the year in
      which the expense was incurred, the amount of the expense eligible for
      reimbursement during one year shall not affect the amount of reimbursement
      in any other year, and the right to reimbursement shall not be subject to
      liquidation or exchange for another
benefit.

      employee benefit, retirement, or fringe benefit plans, policies,
      practices, or arrangements in which Executive participates, both in terms
      of the amount of benefits provided and the relative level of Executive’s
      participation as in effect immediately before a Change of Control and with
      all improvements therein subsequent thereto (other than those plans or
      improvements that have expired thereafter in accordance with their
      original terms), or the taking of any action which would materially reduce
      Executive’s benefits under such plans or deprive her of any material
      fringe benefit enjoyed by her immediately before a Change of
      Control.  For this purpose, the Company may eliminate and/or
      modify existing employee benefit plans and
  coverage

      on a consistent and non-discriminatory basis applicable to all such
      executives; provided, however, that Executive’s level of coverage under
      all such programs must be at least as great as is such coverage provided
      to employees who have the same or lesser levels of reporting
      responsibilities within the
organization.

      agreements between the parties with respect to the matters set forth
      herein.  No amendments or additions to such agreements shall be
      binding unless in writing and signed by both parties, provided, however,

      Law; Headings.  This Agreement and its construction,
      performance and enforceability shall be governed by, and construed in
      accordance with, the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to

              Jurisdiction.  Except
      as otherwise provided for herein, each of the parties: (a) irrevocably
      submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state court sitting in New
      Jersey or federal court sitting in New Jersey in any action or proceeding
      arising out of or relating to this Agreement; (b) agrees that all claims
      in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any
      such court; (c) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out
      of or relating to this Agreement in any other court; and (d) waives any
      right such party may have to a trial by jury with respect to any action or
      proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.  Each
      of the parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance
      of any action or proceedings so brought and waives any bond, surety or
      other security that might be required of any other party with respect
      thereto.  Any party may make service on another party by sending
      or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the
      address set forth above or such updated address as may be provided to the
      other party. Nothing in this Section 9, however, shall affect the right of
      any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by
      law.

all references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be
construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to,

      Section
1.03 
Accounting Terms;
GAAP. Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial
nature shall be construed in accordance with (i) except for purposes of Section
6.07, GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, if the
Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower requests an
amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change
occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the
operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the
Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof

before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been
withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith; and (ii) for
purposes of Section

      The
Credits

       

      Section
2.01 
Commitments.  Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the initial Lender agrees to make
on the Effective Date a single term loan to Borrower in an aggregate principal
amount of the Commitments.  Borrower shall repay all outstanding Loans
not later than the Maturity Date.  Borrower may not reborrow Loans
hereunder.

       

      Section
2.02  
Loans and
Interest.

       

      (a)    The
failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not
relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the
Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for
any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

       

      (b)    Subject
to Section
2.09, each Loan shall be a TIBO Rate Loan.  Each Lender at its
option may make any TIBO Rate Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or
Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such
option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

       

      Section
2.03 
Requests for initial
Loan. To
request the initial Loan, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent a written Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower. Such
written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information:

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          17

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (i)     
the
aggregate amount of the requested Loan;

       

      (ii)     the date
of such Loan, which shall be a Business Day; and

       

      (iii)    the
location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be
disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section
2.04.

       

      Section
2.04 
Funding of
Loans.

       

      (a)    Each
Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date
thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., New York
City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated
by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will
make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so
received, in like funds, to an account designated by the Borrower in the
Borrowing Request.

       

      (b)    Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Loan that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent
may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such
event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan
available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the
Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date
of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, 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 or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable
to such Loan. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then
such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan.

       

      Section
2.05 
Repayment of Loans; Evidence
of Debt.

       

      (a)    The
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the
Maturity Date.

       

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

       

      (c)    The
Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the
amount of each Loan made hereunder and the Interest Period applicable thereto,
(ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due
and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of
any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the
Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          18

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (d)    The
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this
Section shall be prima facie evidence of the
existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of
any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error
therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay
the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

       

      (e)    Any
Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In
such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a
promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such
Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and substantially in the form
of promissory note attached hereto as Exhibit
E  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and
interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to
Section
9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable
to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a
registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

       

      Section
2.06 
Prepayment of
Loans.

       

      (a)    The
Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any
Loan in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph
(b) of this Section.

       

      (b)    The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall
be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of
each Loan or portion thereof to be prepaid.  Promptly following
receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of
the contents thereof.  Each partial prepayment shall be in an amount
that is an integral multiple of the Yen equivalent of $1,000,000 and not less
than the Yen equivalent of $3,000,000. Each prepayment shall be applied ratably
to the Loans. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent
required by Section
2.08.

       

      Section
2.07 
Fees.

       

      (a)    The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees
payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

       

      (b)    All fees
payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available
funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of facility
fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable
under any circumstances.

       

      Section
2.08 
Interest.

       

      (a)    The Loans
shall bear interest at the TIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such
Loans plus the Applicable Rate.

       

      (b)    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other
amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated
maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear
interest, after as well 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          19

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      as before
judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate applicable to Loans as
provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

       

      (c)    Accrued
interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
for such Loan and on the Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued
pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, and (ii)
in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the
principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such
repayment or prepayment.

       

      (d)    All
interest determined by reference to the TIBO Rate shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days, and all other interest shall be computed on the basis of
a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day). The applicable TIBO Rate shall be determined by the
Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

       

      Section
2.09 
Alternate Rate of
Interest. If
prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a TIBO Rate
Loan:

       

      (a)    the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
the TIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

       

      (b)    the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the TIBO Rate, as
applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its
Loan) for such Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice
thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as
practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower
and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist;

       

      then the
Loans shall bear interest at the Prime Rate.

      

      Section
2.10 
Illegality; Increased
Costs.

       

      (a)    If any
Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make,
maintain or fund its TIBO Rate Loans, such Lender shall so notify the
Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent
shall immediately give notice thereof to the other Lenders and to the Borrower,
whereupon until such Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the
obligation of such Lender to make TIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended. If such
Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund
any of its outstanding TIBO Rate Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such
notice, the Borrower shall immediately prepay (which prepayment shall not be
subject to Section
2.06) in full the then outstanding principal amount of such TIBO Rate
Loans, together with the accrued interest thereon.

       

      (b)    If any
Change in Law shall:

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          20

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (i)     impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
any Lender; or

       

      (ii)    impose on
any Lender or the Tokyo interbank market any other condition affecting this
Agreement or TIBO Rate Loans made by such Lender;

       

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

       

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

       

      (d)    A
certificate of a Lender setting forth, in reasonable detail showing the
computation thereof, the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender
or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a), (b),
or (c) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Such certificate shall further certify that
such Lender is making similar demands of its other similarly situated borrowers.
The Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due
on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof, if such
certificate complies herewith.

       

      (e)    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; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a
Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred
more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of
the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such
Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period
of retroactive effect thereof (to the extent that such period of retroactive
effect is not already included in such 90-day period).

       

      Section
2.11 
Break Funding
Payments.  In
the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any TIBO Rate Loan other than
on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result
of an Event of Default), or (b) the assignment of any TIBO Rate Loan other than
on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a
request by the Borrower pursuant to Section
2.14, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          21

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      Lender
for the loss, cost and expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits)
attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth, in
reasonable detail showing the computation thereof, any amount or amounts that
such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered
to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower
shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10
days after receipt thereof, if such certificate complies herewith.

       

      Section
2.12 
Taxes.

       

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

       

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

       

      (c)    The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10
days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may
be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the
Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any
penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that the Borrower
shall not be required to indemnify or reimburse a Lender pursuant to this
Section for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted more than
90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted and of such Lender’s
intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted giving rise to such claims
are retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof (to the extent that such period
of retroactive effect is not already included in such 90-day period). A
certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail showing the computation thereof,
the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender,
or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.

       

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

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          22

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (e)    Any
Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any
treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under
this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at such reduced rate.

       

      (f)    Should
any Lender or the Administrative Agent during the term of this Agreement ever
receive any refund, credit or deduction from any taxing authority to which such
Lender or the Administrative Agent would not be entitled but for the payment by
the Borrower of Taxes (it being understood that the decision as to whether or
not to claim, and if claimed, as to the amount of any such refund, credit or
deduction shall be made by such Lender or the Administrative Agent in its sole
discretion), such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be,
thereupon shall repay to the Borrower an amount with respect to such refund,
credit or deduction equal to any net reduction in taxes actually obtained by
such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and determined by
such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to be attributable
to such refund, credit or deduction.

       

      (g)    Except
for a request by the Borrower under Section
2.14(b), no Foreign Lender shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.12(a) or 2.12(c) if
withholding tax is imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Lender at the time
such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or designates a new
lending office.

       

      Section
2.13 
Payments Generally; Pro Rata
Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

       

      (a)    The
Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of
principal, interest, or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.10,
2.11 or 2.12, or
otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in
immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts
received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such
payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 1251 Avenue
of the Americas, New York, New York, 10020 (Attention: Sandy Manticof), except
that payments pursuant to Sections 2.10,
2.11, 2.12 and 9.03 shall
be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person
to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment
hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any
payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of
such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

       

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

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          23

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal
then due to such parties.

       

      (c)    If any
Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans
resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion
received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion
shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other
Lenders to the extent necessary 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; 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 any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement or 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 Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate
thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower
consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the
foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation.

       

      (d)    Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to
the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such
date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to the Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if
the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders, as the
case may be, 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.

       

      (e)    If any
Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section
2.04(b) or 2.13(d),
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully
paid.

       

      Section
2.14 
Mitigation Obligations;
Replacement of Lenders.

       

      (a)    If any
Lender requests compensation under Section
2.10, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section
2.12, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          24

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      designate
a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to
assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches
or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section
2.10 or 2.12, as
the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
Subject to the foregoing, Lenders agree to use reasonable efforts to select
lending offices which will minimize taxes and other costs and expenses for the
Borrower.

       

      (b)    If any
Lender requests compensation under Section
2.10, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section
2.12, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans
hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to
such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section
9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to
an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower
shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder,
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii)
in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section
2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section
2.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and
delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply. If any Lender refuses to assign and delegate all
its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement after the Borrower
has required such Lender to do so as a result of a claim for compensation under
Section
2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section
2.12, such Lender shall not be entitled to receive such compensation or
required payments.

       

      Section
2.15 
Separateness.  The
Lenders acknowledge and affirm (i) their reliance on the separateness of EPD, GP
LLC, Borrower and Manager from each other and from other Persons, including EPCO
and Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. (“EPE”), (ii) that
other creditors of the Borrower, Manager, EPD or GP LLC have likely advanced
funds to such Persons in reliance upon the separateness of the Borrower,
Manager, EPD and GP LLC from each other and from other Persons, including EPCO
and EPE, (iii) that each of the Borrower, Manager, EPD and GP LLC have assets
and liabilities that are separate from those of each other and from other
Persons, including EPCO and EPE, (iv) that the Loans and other obligations owing
under this Agreement, the Notes and documents related hereto or thereto have not
been guaranteed by Manager, GP LLC, EPCO or EPE, and (v) that, except as other
Persons may expressly assume or guarantee  this Agreement, the Notes
or any documents related hereto or thereto or any of the Loans or other
obligations thereunder, the Lenders shall look solely to the Borrower, and,
pursuant to the EPD Guaranty Agreement, EPD, and their respective property and
assets, and any property pledged as collateral with respect hereto or thereto,
for the repayment of any amounts payable

      pursuant
hereto or thereto and for satisfaction of any obligations owing to the Lenders
hereunder or thereunder and that neither GP LLC nor Manager is personally liable
to the Lenders for any amounts payable or any liability hereunder or
thereunder.

result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries that is prohibited hereby.

no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental
Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened
against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) as to which
there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if
adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the

Matters) or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.

       

      (b)    Except
for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that,

the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations
and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property,

contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or
such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves or

Disclosure. Neither
the Information Memorandum nor any of the other reports, financial statements,
certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to

purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations U or X of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and no part of the

Effect): (i) all property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the
operations conducted thereon are in compliance with and do not violate the
requirements of any Environmental Laws, (ii) no oil or solid wastes are disposed
of or otherwise released on or to any property owned by the Borrower or its

      (a)    within 15
Business Days after the institution of or the withdrawal or partial withdrawal
by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate from any Multiemployer
Plan which would cause the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate to
incur withdrawal liability in excess of $25,000,000 (in the aggregate for all
such withdrawals), a written notice thereof signed by an executive officer of
the Borrower stating the applicable details; and

       

      (b)    within 15

faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted by or on behalf of the
Borrower or its Subsidiary, and if the Borrower or its Subsidiary shall have set

      Negative
Covenants

       

      Until the
principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees payable hereunder have been
paid in full, the Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lenders
that:

       

      Section
6.01 
Indebtedness. The
Borrower will not permit any Subsidiary to create, incur or assume any
Indebtedness, except:

       

      (a)    Indebtedness
of any Person that becomes a Subsidiary of the Borrower, to the extent such
Indebtedness is outstanding at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary of the
Borrower and was not incurred in contemplation thereof and Indebtedness
refinancing (but not increasing) such Indebtedness, and Indebtedness assumed by
any Subsidiary in connection with its acquisition (whether by merger,
consolidation, acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets or
acquisition that results in the ownership of greater than fifty percent (50%) of
the Equity Interests of a Person) of another Person and Indebtedness refinancing
(but not increasing) such Indebtedness, provided that at the time of and after
giving effect to the incurrence or assumption of such Indebtedness or
refinancing Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds thereof, as the
case may be, the aggregate principal amount of all such Indebtedness, and of all
Indebtedness previously incurred or assumed pursuant to this Section
6.01(a), and then outstanding, shall not exceed 75% of Consolidated
EBITDA for the period of four full fiscal quarters of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries (and such Person on a pro forma basis) then most recently
ended;

       

      (b)    Indebtedness
of the Subsidiaries not otherwise permitted by this Section
6.01, provided that at the time of and after giving effect to the
incurrence of such Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds thereof the
aggregate principal amount of all such Indebtedness, and of all Indebtedness
previously incurred pursuant to this Section
6.01(b), and then outstanding, shall not exceed 25% of Consolidated
EBITDA for the period of four fiscal quarters of the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries then most recently ended;

       

      (c)    Indebtedness
of Project Finance Subsidiaries;

       

      (d)    intercompany
Indebtedness;

       

      (e)    Indebtedness
existing on the date hereof and set forth on Schedule
6.01;

       

      (f)    guarantees
of the obligations and Indebtedness hereunder; and

      (g)    other
unsecured Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding
$25,000,000 at any time outstanding;

       

      provided, however, that no
Subsidiary (other than a Project Finance Subsidiary) shall create, incur or
assume any Indebtedness pursuant to any provision of this Section
6.01 if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or
would result from such creation, incurrence or assumption.

       

      Section
6.02 
Liens. The
Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary (other than Project
Finance Subsidiaries) or EPD to, create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any
Lien, other than a Permitted Lien, on any Principal Property or upon any Equity
Interests of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than Project Finance
Subsidiaries) owning or leasing any Principal Property, now owned or hereafter
acquired by the Borrower or such Subsidiary to secure any Indebtedness of the
Borrower, EPD or any other Person (other than the Indebtedness under this
Agreement), without in any such case making effective provision whereby any and
all Indebtedness under this Agreement then outstanding will be secured by a Lien
equally and ratably with, or prior to, such Indebtedness for so long as such
Indebtedness shall be so secured. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower
may, and may permit any Subsidiary (other than a Project Finance Subsidiary) and
EPD to, create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any Lien upon any Principal
Property to secure Indebtedness of the Borrower, EPD or any other Person (other
than the Indebtedness under this Agreement), other than a Permitted Lien without
securing the Indebtedness under this Agreement, provided that the aggregate
principal amount of all Indebtedness then outstanding secured by such Lien and
all similar Liens together with the aggregate amount of Attributable
Indebtedness deemed to be outstanding in respect of all Sale/Leaseback
Transactions (exclusive of any Permitted Sale/Leaseback Transactions), does not
exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

       

      Section
6.03 
Fundamental
Changes. The
Borrower will not merge into or consolidate with any other Person, or permit any
other Person to merge into or consolidate with it, or sell, transfer, lease or
otherwise dispose of (in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or
substantially all of its assets, or all or substantially all of the Equity
Interests of any of its Subsidiaries (other than Project Finance Subsidiaries)
(in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired), or liquidate or
dissolve, except that, if at the time thereof and immediately after giving
effect thereto no Default shall have occurred and be continuing (i) any Person
may merge into or consolidate with the Borrower in a transaction in which the
Borrower is the surviving entity and (ii) Borrower may sell or otherwise dispose
of all or any portion of the Equity Interests of any of its
Subsidiaries.

       

      Section
6.04 
Investment
Restriction. Neither
the Borrower nor any Subsidiary (other than a Project Finance Subsidiary) will
make or suffer to exist investments in Project Finance Subsidiaries, in the
aggregate at any one time outstanding, in excess of the sum of (i) the amount of
investments existing as of the Effective Date in Project Finance Subsidiaries,
(ii) $150,000,000, and (iii) the amount of any portion of the investments
permitted by this Section
6.04 repaid to the Borrower or any Subsidiary as a dividend, repayment of
a loan or advance, release or discharge of a guarantee or other obligation or
other transfer of property or return of capital, as the case may be, occurring
after the Effective Date. Computation of the amount of any investment shall be
made without any adjustment for increases or decreases in

write-ups, write-downs or write-offs with respect to such investment or interest
or other earnings on such investment.

       

      Section
6.05 
Restricted
Payments. The
Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries (other than
Project Finance Subsidiaries) to, declare or make, or agree to pay or make,
directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment, except as long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, (i) the
Borrower and the Subsidiaries may make Restricted Payments necessary to fund the
Program, (ii) the Borrower may make Restricted Payments from Available Cash (as
defined in the Company Agreement) from Operating Surplus (as defined in the
Company Agreement) cumulative from January 1, 1999 through the date of such
Restricted Payment, (iii) any Subsidiary may buy back any of its own Equity
Interests, and (iv) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may make payments or other
distributions to officers, directors or employees with respect to the exercise
by any such Persons of options, warrants or other rights to acquire Equity
Interests in EPD, the Borrower or such Subsidiary issued pursuant to an
employment, equity award, equity option or equity appreciation agreement or
plans entered into by EPD, the Borrower or such Subsidiary in the ordinary
course of business; provided, that even if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and is continuing, no Subsidiary shall be prohibited from upstreaming
dividends or other payments to the Borrower or any Subsidiary (which is not a
Project Finance Subsidiary) or making, in the case of any Subsidiary that is not
wholly-owned (directly or indirectly) by the Borrower, ratable dividends or
payments, as the case may be, to the other owners of Equity Interests in such
Subsidiary.

       

      Section
6.06 
Restrictive
Agreements. The
Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries (other than
Project Finance Subsidiaries) to, directly or indirectly, enter into, incur or
permit to exist any agreement or other arrangement with any Person, other than
the Lenders pursuant hereto, which prohibits, restricts or imposes any
conditions upon the ability of any Subsidiary (other than Project Finance
Subsidiaries) to (a) pay dividends or make other distributions or pay any
Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (b) make subordinate
loans or advances to or make other investments in the Borrower or any Subsidiary
in each case, other than restrictions or conditions contained in, or existing by
reasons of, any agreement or instrument (i) existing on the date hereof and
identified on Schedule
6.06, (ii) relating to property existing at the time of the acquisition
thereof, so long as the restriction or condition relates only to the property so
acquired, (iii) relating to any Indebtedness of, or otherwise to, any Subsidiary
at the time such Subsidiary was merged or consolidated with or into, or acquired
by, the Borrower or a Subsidiary or became a Subsidiary and not created in
contemplation thereof, (iv) effecting a renewal, extension, refinancing, refund
or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals, refinancings, refunds or
replacements) of Indebtedness issued under an agreement referred to in clauses
(i) through (iii) above, so long as the restrictions and conditions contained in
any such renewal, extension, refinancing, refund or replacement agreement, taken
as a whole, are not materially more restrictive than the restrictions and
conditions contained in the original agreement, as determined in good faith by
the board of directors of the Manager, (v) constituting customary provisions
restricting subletting or assignment of any leases of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or provisions in agreements that restrict the assignment of such
agreement or any rights thereunder, (vi) constituting restrictions on the sale
or other disposition of any property securing Indebtedness as a result of a Lien
on such property permitted hereunder, (vii) constituting any temporary
encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Subsidiary under an agreement that
has been entered into for the disposition of

      all or
substantially all of the outstanding Equity Interests of or assets of such
Subsidiary, provided that such disposition is otherwise permitted hereunder,
(viii) constituting customary restrictions on cash, other deposits or assets
imposed by customers and other persons under contracts entered into in the
ordinary course of business, (ix) constituting provisions contained in
agreements or instruments relating to Indebtedness that prohibit the transfer of

instrument unless the transferee assumes the obligations of the obligor under
such agreement or instrument or such assets may be transferred subject to such
prohibition, (x) constituting a requirement that a certain amount of
Indebtedness be maintained between a Subsidiary and the Borrower or another
Subsidiary, (xi) constituting any restriction or condition with respect to
property under an agreement that has been entered into for the disposition of

      Section
6.07 Financial Condition
Covenant.

       

      Ratio of Consolidated
Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA. The Borrower shall not permit its
ratio of Consolidated Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA in each case for the
four full fiscal quarters most recently ended to exceed:

       

      5.00 to 1.00 as of the last
day of any fiscal quarter;

      

      provided, following a
Specified Acquisition (defined below), such ratio shall not exceed

       

      5.50 to 1.00 as of the last
day of (i) the fiscal quarter in which the Specified Acquisition occurred (the
“Acquisition
Quarter”), and (ii) the first fiscal quarter following the Acquisition
Quarter.

      

      As used
herein, “Specified
Acquisition” means, at the election of Borrower, one or more acquisitions
of assets or entities or operating lines or divisions in any rolling 12-month
period for an aggregate purchase price of not less than $100,000,000; provided,
in the event the Debt Coverage Ratio exceeds 5.00 to 1.00 at the end of any
fiscal quarter in which one or more acquisitions otherwise qualifying as a
Specified Acquisition but for Borrower’s failure to so elect shall have
occurred, Borrower shall be deemed to have so elected a Specified Acquisition
with respect thereto; provided, further, following
the election (or deemed election) of a Specified Acquisition, Borrower may not
elect (or be deemed to have elected) a subsequent Specified Acquisition unless,
at the time of such subsequent election, the Debt Coverage Ratio does not exceed
5.00 to 1.00.

       

      For
purposes of calculating such ratio the Project Finance Subsidiaries shall be
disregarded and: (i) Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense in
any prior fiscal quarters attributable to assets contributed to DEP shall be
excluded from the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest
Expense for such prior fiscal quarters; however, such 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          36

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      exclusion
does not apply to, and there shall be included in such calculation, (A) the
amount of cash dividends or distributions payable with respect to such a period
by a Project Finance Subsidiary or DEP which are actually received by the
Borrower or a Subsidiary (other than a Project Finance Subsidiary) on or prior
to the date the financial statements with respect to such period referred to in
Section
5.01 are required to be delivered by Borrower, and (B) with respect to
EBITDA of a subsidiary owned jointly by DEP and the Borrower, excluding amounts
actually dividended or distributed by such subsidiary and received by the owners
thereof, an amount equal to such subsidiary’s EBITDA times the Borrower’s direct
or indirect ownership percentage of the Equity Interests in such subsidiary
(other than through DEP), and (ii) for purposes of calculating such ratio for
the fiscal quarters ending prior to March 31, 2008, any dividends or
distributions paid by DEP, without duplication, which are actually received by
the Borrower shall be annualized as follows: (A) for the fiscal quarter ending
September 30, 2007, such dividends or distributions received during the period
commencing January 5, 2007 and ending on the date the financial statements with
respect to such period are required to be delivered by the Borrower times 365
divided by the number of days from January 5, 2007 to September 30, 2007, and
(B) for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2007, such dividends or
distributions received during the period commencing January 5, 2007 and ending
on the date the financial statements with respect to such period are required to
be delivered by the Borrower times 365 divided by the number of days from
January 5, 2007 to December 31, 2007. For purposes of this Section
6.07, if during any period of four fiscal quarters the Borrower or any
Subsidiary acquires any Person (or any interest in any Person) or all or
substantially all of the assets of any Person, the EBITDA attributable to such
assets or an amount equal to the percentage of ownership of the Borrower or a
Subsidiary, as the case may be, in such Person times the EBITDA of such Person,
for such period determined on a pro forma basis (which determination, in each
case, shall be subject to approval of the Administrative Agent, not to be
unreasonably withheld) may be included as Consolidated EBITDA for such period as
if such acquisition occurred on the first day of such four fiscal quarter
period; provided that during the portion of such period that follows such
acquisition, the computation in respect of the EBITDA of such Person or such
assets, as the case may be, shall be made on the basis of actual (rather than
pro forma) results.

       

      In
addition, for purposes of this Section
6.07, Hybrid Securities up to an aggregate amount of 15% of Consolidated
Total Capitalization shall be excluded from Consolidated Indebtedness and
Consolidated EBITDA may include, at Borrower’s option, any Material Project
EBITDA Adjustments as provided in the definition thereof.

the following events (“Events of Default”)
shall occur:

Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan when and as the same shall
become due and payable, whether at the due date thereof or at a date fixed for
prepayment thereof or otherwise;

       

      (b)    the
Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan or any fee or any other
amount (other than an amount referred to in clause (a) of this Article) payable
under this

      Agreement,
when and as the same shall become due and payable, and such failure shall
continue unremedied for a period of five (5) Business Days;

       

      (c)    any
representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of the Borrower,
EPD or any Subsidiary of the Borrower in or in connection with this Agreement or
any amendment or modification hereof or waiver hereunder, or in any report,
certificate, financial statement or other document furnished pursuant to or in
connection with this Agreement or any amendment or modification hereof or waiver
hereunder, shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made
or deemed made and such materiality is continuing;

       

      (d)    the
Borrower shall fail to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement
contained in Section 5.02,
5.03 (with respect to the Borrower’s existence) or 5.07 or in
Article
VI;

       

      (e)    the
Borrower shall fail to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement
contained in this Agreement (other than those specified in clause (a), (b) or
(d) of this Article), and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of
30 days after written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent to the
Borrower (which notice will be given at the request of any Lender);

       

      (f)    the
Borrower or any Material Subsidiary (other than Project Finance Subsidiaries)
shall (i) fail to pay (A) any principal of or premium or interest on any
Material Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Material Subsidiary (as the case
may be), or (B) aggregate net obligations under one or more Hedging Agreements
(excluding amounts the validity of which are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings, if necessary, and for which adequate reserves with
respect thereto are maintained on the books of the Borrower or such Material
Subsidiary (as the case may be)) in excess of $25,000,000, in each case when the
same becomes due and payable (whether by scheduled maturity, required
prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise), and such failure shall continue
after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or
instrument relating to such Material Indebtedness or such Hedging Agreements; or
(ii) default in the observance or performance of any covenant or obligation
contained in any agreement or instrument relating to any such Material
Indebtedness that in substance is customarily considered a default in loan
documents (in each case, other than a failure to pay specified in clause (i) of
this subsection (f)) and such default shall continue after the applicable grace
period, if any, specified in such agreement or instrument, if the effect thereof
is to accelerate the maturity of such Material Indebtedness or require such
Material Indebtedness to be prepaid prior to the stated maturity thereof; for
the avoidance of doubt the parties acknowledge and agree that any payment
required to be made under a guaranty of payment or collection described in
clause (c) of the definition of Indebtedness shall be due and payable at the
time such payment is due and payable under the terms of such guaranty (taking
into account any applicable grace period) and such payment shall be deemed not
to have been accelerated or required to be prepaid prior to its stated maturity
as a result of the obligation guaranteed having become due;

       

      (g)    an
involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be
filed seeking (i) liquidation, reorganization or other relief in respect of the
Borrower or any Material Subsidiary (other than Project Finance Subsidiaries) or
its debts, or of a substantial part

or similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) the appointment of a receiver,
trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for the
Borrower or any Material Subsidiary (other than Project Finance Subsidiaries) or

      ARTICLE
VIII

       

      The Administrative
Agent

       

      Each of
the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent
and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and
to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the
terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.

       

      The bank
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 such bank and its Affiliates
may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it
were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

       

      The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other
implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing,
(b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary
action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and
powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required
to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section
9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or
not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section
9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of
any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the
Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i)
any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this
Agreement, 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          40

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in
connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement 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 be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for
relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who
may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or
experts.

       

      The
Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights
and powers 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 its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their
respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs 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. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Sole Lead
Arranger listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement, the Notes or any documents related hereto
or thereto, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Administrative Agent or a
Lender hereunder.

       

      Subject
to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as
provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by
notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, with the Borrower’s approval (which will not be
unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been
so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, with the Borrower’s
approval (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the Borrower’s
approval shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred which is
continuing), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent
which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of
any such bank and such bank, or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall have capital
and surplus equal to or greater than $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees
payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as
those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower
and such successor.

      After the
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and
Section
9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was
acting as Administrative Agent.

       

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

      (c)    if to any
other Lender, to it at its address (or telecopy number) of record with the
Administrative Agent, which Administrative Agent shall provide to the Borrower

      (d)    the
Borrower will have the option to provide to the Administrative Agent all
information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to
the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other document
executed in connection herewith, including, without limitation, all notices,
requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and

required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness
of this Agreement and/or any Loan or any other extension of credit hereunder
(all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as
“Communications”), by
transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format
acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower further agrees that the

      Administrative
Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the
Communications on SyndTrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission
system (the “Platform”). The
Borrower acknowledges that the distribution of material through an electronic
medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other
risks associated with such distribution. The
Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”. The Agent Parties (as defined
below) do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications, or the
adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or
omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or
statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability,
fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or
freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Agent Parties in
connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the
Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives
(collectively, “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender
or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without
limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages,
losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the
Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through
the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party is found in
a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted primarily from such Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The
Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the
Administrative Agent at its e-mail address as specified by the Administrative
Agent from time to time shall constitute effective delivery of the
Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of this Agreement and
any other documents executed in connection herewith. Each of the Lenders agrees
that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the
Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective
delivery of the Communications to such Lender, as the case may be, for purposes
of this Agreement and any other documents executed in connection herewith. Each
of the Lenders agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing
(including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s
e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic
transmission, and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail
address. Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant hereto or any
other document executed in connection herewith in any other manner specified
herein or therein.

       

      Any party
hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and
other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of
receipt.

       

      Section
9.02 
Waivers;
Amendments.

       

      (a)    No
failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any
right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would
otherwise have. No

      waiver of
any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not
be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such
Default at the time.

       

      (b)    Neither
this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified
except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the
Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such
agreement shall (i) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or
reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the
scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or any interest
thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse
any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any
Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv)
change Section
2.13(b) or (c) in a
manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby,
without the written consent of each Lender, (v) release EPD from any of its
monetary obligations under the EPD Guaranty Agreement without the written
consent of each Lender, or (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or
the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying
the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any
rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such
agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent.

       

      Section
9.03 
Expenses; Indemnity; Damage
Waiver.

       

      (a)    The
Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of one law firm as counsel for the Administrative Agent, in
connection with the syndication (prior to the Effective Date) of the credit
facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this
Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated), and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred during the
existence of an Event of Default by the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or
protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights
under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans.

       

      (b)    The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any

      counsel
for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out
of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by
the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation
of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan
or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or
release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in
any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of
the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available (x) to the extent that
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any Related Party
of such Indemnitee, or (y) in connection with disputes among or between the
Administrative Agent, Lenders, and/or their respective Related
Parties.

       

      (c)    To the
extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to
the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender
severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
provided that the unreimbursed
expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the
case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its
capacity as such.

       

      (d)    To the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the
proceeds thereof.

       

      (e)    All
amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 30 days after
written demand therefor, such demand to be in reasonable detail setting forth
the basis for and method of calculation of such amounts.

       

      Section
9.04 
Successors and
Assigns.

       

      (a)    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 the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights
or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and
any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall
be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be
construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

      (b)    Any
Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i)
except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender,
each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of an
assignment of all or a portion of a Commitment) must give their prior written
consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate
of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender
subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent) shall not be less than the Yen equivalent of $5,000,000 unless each of
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iii) each partial
assignment shall result in the assignor retaining a Commitment of not less than
the Yen equivalent of $10,000,000 and shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, (iv) the parties (other than the Borrower) to each assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, (v) the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Administrative Questionnaire and (vi) no assignment to a foreign bank shall
be made hereunder unless, at the time of such assignment, there is no
withholding tax applicable with respect to such foreign bank for which the
Borrower would be or become responsible under Section
2.12; and provided further that
any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be
required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Subject to
acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from
and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10,
2.11, 2.12 and 9.03 as to
matters occurring on or prior to date of 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 (e) of this Section.

       

      (c)    The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York, the address of which
shall be made available to any party to this Agreement upon request: a copy of
each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of,
and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms
hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any
Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          46

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (d)    Upon its
receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire
(unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and
recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written
consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the
information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective
for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as
provided in this paragraph.

       

      (e)    Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all
or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and 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 Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with
such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement 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 described in the
first proviso to Section
9.02(b) that affects such Participant.

       

      (f)    A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
2.10 or 2.12 than
the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section
2.12 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to
comply with Section 2.12(e)
as though it were a Lender and has zero withholding at the time of
participation.

       

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

       

      Section
9.05 
Survival. All
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower
herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with
or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by
the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by
any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is
extended

      hereunder,
and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any
accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not
expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.10,
2.11, 2.12 and 9.03 and
Article
VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans
or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

       

      Section
9.06 
Counterparts; Integration;
Effectiveness. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement 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 agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This
Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date, and thereafter shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page
of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement.

       

      Section
9.07 
Severability. Any
provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not
invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

       

      Section
9.08 
Right of
Setoff. If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Required Lenders
have directed the Administrative Agent to accelerate under Article
VII, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such
Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against
any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under
this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender
shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations
may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition
to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such
Lender may have.

       

      Section
9.09 
Governing Law; Jurisdiction;
Consent to Service of Process.

      parties
hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect
of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York
State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall
affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have
to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the
Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

       

      (c)    The
Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it
may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this
Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance
of such action or proceeding in any such court.

       

      (d)    Each
party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section
9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to
this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by
law.

       

      Section
9.10 
WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL. EACH
PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH
PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality
of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed

      the same
as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent
such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower and
its Related Parties. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all
information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business,
other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the
Borrower.

       

      Section
9.13 
Interest Rate
Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest
rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts
which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively
the “Charges”),
shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which
may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender
holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest
payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in
respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful,
the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan
but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be
cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of
other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate
therefor) until such cumulated amount, together (to the extent lawful) with
interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment,
shall have been received by such Lender.

       

      Section
9.14 
Liability of
Manager. It is
hereby understood and agreed that Manager shall have no personal liability, as a
member of the Borrower or otherwise, for the payment of any amount owing or to

      Section
9.15 
USA Patriot Act
Notice. Each
Lender and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender)
hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot
Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2003)) (the “Act”), it is required
to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which
information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that
will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify
Borrower in accordance with the Act.

       

      Section
9.16 
Judgment
Currency.

       

      (a)    Borrower’s
obligations hereunder to make payments in Yen (the “Obligation Currency”)
shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any
judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation
Currency except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the
effective receipt by Administrative Agent of the full amount of the Obligation
Currency expressed to be payable to Administrative Agent under this
Agreement.  If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment
against Borrower in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to
convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other
currency being hereafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”)
an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made at the
rate of exchange as quoted by Administrative Agent, and if Administrative Agent

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          50

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      does not
quote a rate of exchange on such currency then by a known dealer in such
currency designated by Administrative Agent, determined, in each case, as of the
Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such
Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion
Date”).

       

      (b)    If there
is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency
Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, Borrower
covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any judgment, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event
not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the
Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date
of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have
been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment
or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency
Conversion Date.
