NOW, THEREFORE, Holdings,
the Borrower, the Subsidiary Loan Parties party hereto, the Required

shall, unless the context requires otherwise, have the meanings assigned to
such terms in the Restated Credit Agreement or, if not defined therein, in the
Existing Credit Agreement.  As used in
this Agreement:

 

“Decreasing Term
Lenders” shall mean all Term Loan Lenders with outstanding Term Loans under
the Existing Credit Agreement that (A) consent to the amendment and
restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to this Agreement and
have the aggregate principal amount of their outstanding Term Loans reduced
pursuant to assignments of a portion of their outstanding Term Loans to one or
more Increasing Term Lenders pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, as
specified on Schedule 2 hereto, or (B) are Departing Lenders.

 

“Departing Lenders”
shall mean all Term Loan Lenders with outstanding Term Loans under the Existing
Credit Agreement that do not consent to the amendment and restatement of the
Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to this Agreement.

 

“Increasing Term Lenders”
shall mean the lenders, which may include Existing Lenders, identified on Schedule 2
hereto as “Increasing Term Lenders”.

 

“Required Restatement
Lenders” means, at any time, (i) each of the Lenders (as defined in
the Existing Credit Agreement) required by Section 9.02 of the Existing
Credit Agreement to approve the Restated Credit Agreement and (ii) each of
the other Restatement Revolving Lenders.

 

SECTION 2.  Restatement Effective Date.  (a)  The transactions provided for
in Sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof shall be consummated at a closing to be held on
the Restatement Effective Date at the offices of Cravath, Swaine &
Moore LLP, or at such other time and place as the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent shall agree upon.

 

(b)                                 The
“Restatement Effective Date” shall be specified by the Borrower, and
shall be a date not later than December 21, 2004, as of which date all the
conditions set forth or referred to in Section 6 hereof shall have been
satisfied.

 

SECTION 3.  Amendment and Restatement of the Existing Credit
Agreement; Loans and Letters of Credit. 
(a)  The Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and
restated to read in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, and the
Administrative Agent is hereby directed by the Required Restatement Lenders to
enter into such Loan Documents and to take such other actions as may be
required to give

 

2

 

effect to the
transactions contemplated hereby.  Holdings
by its signature below becomes a party to the Restated Credit Agreement and
agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Restated Credit Agreement
applicable to it as set forth therein.  From
and after the Restatement Effective Date, the terms “Agreement”, “this
Agreement”, “herein”, “hereinafter”, “hereto”, “hereof” and words of similar
import, as used in the Restated Credit Agreement, shall, unless the context
otherwise requires, refer to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended and
restated in the form of the Restated Credit Agreement, and the term “Credit
Agreement”, as used in the other Loan Documents, shall mean the Restated Credit
Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Holdings
and the Borrower hereby agree, immediately following the consummation of the
Initial Public Offering, (i) to repay not less than $31,250,000 in principal
amount of Term Loans under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Restatement
Effective Date (the “Repaid Term Loans”) and (ii) to repay the
entire aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans (if
any) outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Restatement
Effective Date (the “Repaid Revolving/Swingline Loans” and, together
with the Repaid Term Loans, the “Repaid Loans”), in each case together
with all accrued interest and other amounts owing in respect of the Repaid Loans
as of the Restatement Effective Date (including any amounts payable pursuant to
Section 2.16 of the Existing Credit Agreement).  The repayment of the Repaid Loans pursuant to
this clause (b) shall be effected pursuant to Section 2.11(a) of
the Existing Credit Agreement.  The
Required Restatement Lenders hereby waive the requirements of Section 2.11(f) of
the Existing Credit Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent, such Section requires
more than one Business Day’s notice of repayment to be given in connection with
the prepayment of the Repaid Term Loans on the Restatement Effective Date.  The aggregate principal amount of all Letters
of Credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Restatement
Effective Date shall continue to be outstanding under the Restated Credit
Agreement and the terms of the Restated Credit Agreement will govern the rights
of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank with respect thereto after the Restatement
Effective Date.

 

SECTION 4.  Fees and Expenses.  On the Restatement Effective Date, the
Borrower shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later
than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) to the Administrative Agent (a) for
the account of each Decreasing Term Lender other than a Departing Lender, all amounts
payable to such Decreasing Term Lender under Section 2.16 of the Existing
Credit Agreement (treating such Decreasing Term Lender’s assignment of Assigned
Interests (as defined below) hereunder as a prepayment of the Term Loans
included therein) and (b) for the account of each Departing Lender, all
amounts (other than principal of and accrued interest in respect of such
Departing Lender’s outstanding Term Loans) owed to such Departing Lender under
the Loan Documents, including all amounts payable to such Departing Lender
under Section 2.16 of the Existing Credit Agreement (treating such
Departing Lender’s assignment of Assigned Interests hereunder as a prepayment
of the Term Loans included therein).

 

SECTION 5.  Assignments.  (a)  On the Restatement Effective
Date, immediately after giving effect to the prepayment of the Repaid Term
Loans under

 

3

 

Section 3(c) hereof and subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, each of the Decreasing Term Lenders shall be deemed to have
sold and assigned to the Increasing Term Lenders, and each of the Increasing
Term Lenders shall be deemed to have purchased and assumed from the Decreasing
Term Lenders, at the principal amount thereof plus all unpaid interest accrued
to but excluding the Restatement Effective Date in respect thereof, such
interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans of the
Decreasing Term Lenders outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date,
including those interests, rights and obligations referenced in the second
paragraph of Exhibit A to the Existing Credit Agreement (all such
interests, rights and obligations to be referred to herein as the “Assigned
Interests”), as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to
all such sales and assignments and purchases and assumptions, (i) the
Decreasing Term Lenders will hold the principal amount of Term Loans set forth
under the heading “Decreasing Term Lenders” in the second column on Schedule 2
hereto, (ii) the Increasing Term Lenders will hold the principal amount of
Term Loans set forth under the heading “Increasing Term Lenders” in the second
column on Schedule 2 hereto and (iii) the Term Loan Lenders that are
neither Decreasing Term Lenders nor Increasing Term Lenders (the “Unchanged
Term Lenders”) will hold the principal amount of Term Loans set forth under
the heading “Unchanged Term Lenders” in the second column on Schedule 2
hereto.  Such sales and assignments and
purchases and assumptions shall be made on the terms set forth in Exhibit A
to the Existing Credit Agreement, including the terms incorporated by reference
into such Exhibit from Annex I thereto, and shall be deemed to comply with
Section 9.04(b) of the Existing Credit Agreement, notwithstanding the
failure of such sales, assignments, purchases and assumptions to comply with
the minimum assignment requirement in Section 9.04(b)(ii)(A) of the
Existing Credit Agreement, the requirement to pay the processing and
recordation fees referenced in Section 9.04(b)(ii)(C) of the Existing
Credit Agreement or the requirement to execute and deliver Assignment and
Assumption Agreements in respect thereof. 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Increasing Term
Lender and Decreasing Term Lender hereby makes the representations and
warranties required to be made under such Annex I by an Assignor and Assignee,
respectively, with respect to the Assigned Interests being assigned or assumed
by such Lender hereunder.

 

(b)                                 On
the Restatement Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, (i) each Increasing Term Lender purchasing and assuming the
Assigned Interests pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall pay the purchase
price for the Assigned Interests purchased by it pursuant to such paragraph (a) by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not
later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) and (ii) the Administrative
Agent shall pay to each Decreasing Term Lender selling and assigning the
Assigned Interests pursuant to paragraph (a) above, out of the amounts
received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (i) of this
paragraph (b) and pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the purchase price
for the Assigned Interests assigned by such Decreasing Term Lender pursuant to
such paragraph (a) and the other amounts payable to such Decreasing Term
Lender under Section 4 hereof by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account designated by such Decreasing Term Lender to the
Administrative Agent not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time).

 

4

 

(c)                                  Each
of the parties hereto hereby consents to the sales, assignments, purchases and
assumptions provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, and agrees
that each Increasing Term Lender shall be a party to the Restated Credit
Agreement and, to the extent of the interests purchased by such Increasing Term
Lender pursuant to such paragraphs or held by such Increasing Term Lender prior
to the Restatement Effective Date, shall have the rights and obligations of a
Term Lender under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

 

(d)                                 If
the Restatement Effective Date shall not occur on the date specified therefor
pursuant hereto, the provisions of Section 2.16(c) of the Existing
Credit Agreement shall be applicable (treating the nonoccurrence of the sales
and assignments and purchases and assumptions contemplated by paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this Section for purposes of such Section 2.16 as the
failure by the Borrower to (i) repay Term Loans of the Decreasing Term
Lenders and (ii) borrow from the Increasing Term Lenders the Term Loans to
be purchased by the Increasing Lenders, in each case, as contemplated by
paragraph (a) of this Section).

thereto dated as of December 19, 2003, among the Borrower, the Lenders
party thereto, the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent (the “Existing

Holdings intends to
consummate an initial public offering of its common stock generating gross
proceeds of not less than $187,500,000 (the “Initial Public Offering”).  In connection with the Initial Public
Offering, the Borrower will merge (the “Merger”) with Interline
Subsidiary, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings, with the Borrower
as the surviving entity in the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of
Holdings.  In the Merger, all the
outstanding common stock of the Borrower will be converted into common stock of
Holdings and all the outstanding Existing Preferred Stock will be converted
into the right to receive $55,000,000 in cash and 19,187,500 shares of common
stock of Holdings.  The Net Proceeds from
the Initial Public Offering will be used by Holdings and the Borrower to (a) redeem
35% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes
of the Borrower for an aggregate redemption price (including prepayment
premiums and accrued interest) of approximately $78,100,000, (b) prepay
$31,250,000 aggregate principal amount of Term Loans under the Existing Credit
Agreement, (c) pay aggregate cash consideration in the Merger of
$55,000,000 to the holders of the Existing Preferred Stock, (d) pay
approximately $5,000,000 in costs in connection with the termination of certain
Swap Agreements of the Borrower and (e) pay fees and expenses in
connection with the foregoing of approximately $16,800,000.  The balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds from
the Initial Public Offering will be retained by the Borrower and used for
general corporate purposes.  The
transactions described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “IPO
Transactions”.

 

Subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Amendment and Restatement
Agreement dated as of the date hereof among Holdings, the Borrower, the
Required Restatement Lenders (as defined therein), the Administrative Agent and
the Syndication Agent (the “Amendment and Restatement Agreement”), the
Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated as provided herein.

unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees
that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to
this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default
or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment
shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever.  Each Revolving Lender shall
comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with
respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so
received by it from the Revolving Lenders. 
The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations
in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter
payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative
Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. 
Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other
party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt
by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein
shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts
received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their
payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their
interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall
be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, if and to

 

30

 

the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for
any reason.  The purchase of
participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve
the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

 

SECTION 2.05.  Letters of Credit.  (a)  General.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own
account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the
applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving
Availability Period.  In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms
and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement
submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, any Issuing
Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall control.

 

(b)                                 Notice
of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.  To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit
(or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit),
the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic
communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the
applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank (which may be any
Issuing Bank selected by the Borrower if there is more than one Issuing Bank)
and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of
a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed
or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of
Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this
Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare,
amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. 
If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall
submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in
connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.  A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended,
renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension
of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant
that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the
LC Exposure shall not exceed $20,000,000 and (ii) the aggregate amount of
the Lenders’ Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total amount of the
Lenders’ Revolving Commitments.

 

(c)                                  Expiration
Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall
expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date
one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the
case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or
extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the
Revolving Maturity Date; provided that any standby Letter of Credit may
contain customary automatic renewal provisions agreed upon by the Borrower and
the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to which the expiration date is
automatically extended by a specific time period (but not to a date later than
the date set forth in clause (ii) above) unless the applicable Issuing
Bank gives notice to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit at least 60 days
prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit.

 

31

 

(d)                                 Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an
amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any
further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the
applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each
Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in
such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the
aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the
foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees
to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing
Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such
Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in
paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to
be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. 
Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of
Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any
Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made
without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

 

(e)                                  Reimbursement.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC
Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse
such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to
such LC Disbursement not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received
notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on
such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to
such time on such date, then not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time,
on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such
notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of
receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the
Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such
time on the day of receipt; provided that, the Borrower may, subject to
the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03
or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or
Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the
Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by
the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan.  If the Borrower fails to make such payment
when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the
applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect
thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice,
each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable
Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as
provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06
shall apply, mutatis  mutandis, to the payment obligations of the
Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the
applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving
Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by
the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this
paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such

 

32

 

payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving
Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such
applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank
as their interests may appear.  Any
payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the
applicable Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR
Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute
a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such
LC Disbursement.

 

(f)                                    Obligations
Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligation
to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall
be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances
whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability
of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any
draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be
forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being
untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank
under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that
does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other
event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing,
that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or
equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s
obligations hereunder.  Neither the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their
Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in
connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment
or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the
circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission,
interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or
other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any
document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of
technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of
any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to
excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent
of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential or punitive damages, claims
in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted
by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s
failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents
presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in
the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of an Issuing
Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing
Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without
limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to
documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance
with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its
sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such
documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit.

 

33

 

(g)                                 Disbursement
Procedures.  An Issuing Bank shall,
promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to
represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit.  The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or
will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to
give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its
obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders
with respect to any such LC Disbursement in accordance with Section 2.05(e).

 

(h)                                 Interim
Interest.  If an Issuing Bank shall
make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC
Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid
amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date
such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower
reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR
Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such
LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall
apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this
paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that
interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender
pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing
Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

 

(i)                                     Issuing
Banks.  Any Issuing Bank may be
terminated, and any existing Revolving Lender may become an Issuing Bank, in
each case at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the terminated Issuing Bank or additional Issuing Bank
(as applicable).  The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such additional Issuing Bank.  At the time any such termination shall become
effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of
the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b).  From and after the effective date of any such
addition of an Issuing Bank, the additional Issuing Bank shall have all the
rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to
Letters of Credit issued by it.  After
the termination of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the terminated Issuing Bank shall
remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations
of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit
issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not be required to issue
additional Letters of Credit.

 

(j)                                     Cash
Collateralization.  If any Event of
Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower
receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if
the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC
Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposures) demanding
the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall
deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the
Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash
equal to the LC Exposures as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral
shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately
due and payable, without demand or other notice

 

34

 

of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect
to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII.  The Borrower also shall deposit cash
collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b).  Each such deposit shall be held by the
Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the
obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive
dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such
account.  Other than any interest earned
on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the
option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s
risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such
investments shall accumulate in such account. 
Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to
reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not
been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the
satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC
Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated
(but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposures representing
greater than 50% of the total LC Exposures), be applied to satisfy other obligations
of the Borrower under this Agreement.  If
the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a
result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not
applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business
Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

 

SECTION 2.06.  Funding of Borrowings.  (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 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account
of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by
notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as
provided in Section 2.04.  The
Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly
crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower
maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the
Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR
Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC
Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

 

(b)                                 Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with 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 Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally
agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount 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

 

35

 

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 ABR Loans.  If such Lender pays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan
included in such Borrowing as of the date of such Borrowing.

 

SECTION 2.07.  Interest Elections.  (a)  Each Revolving Borrowing and Term
Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing
Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial
Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request.  Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert
such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the
case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as
provided in this Section.  The Borrower
may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected
Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the
Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising
each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.  This Section shall not apply to
Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

 

(b)                                 To
make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing
Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting
a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on
the effective date of such election. 
Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and
shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative
Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower.

 

(c)                                  Each
telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02 and paragraph (e) of this
Section:

 

(i)                                     the
Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the
portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the
information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below
shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

 

(ii)                                  the
effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request,
which shall be a Business Day;

 

(iii)                               whether
the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
and

 

(iv)                              if
the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a
period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

 

36

 

If any such Interest Election Request requests a
Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower
shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

 

(d)                                 Promptly
following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent
shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of
each resulting Borrowing.

 

(e)                                  If
the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect
to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end
of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing.  Notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the
Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no
outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar
Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be
converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto.

 

SECTION 2.08.  Termination and Reduction of Commitments.  (a) Unless previously terminated, the
Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date.

 

(b)                                 The
Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments
of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments
of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of
$5,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not
terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any
concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11,
the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Exposures would exceed the total
amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Commitments.

 

(c)                                  The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or
reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least
three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or
reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof.  Promptly following receipt of any notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant
to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of
termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state
that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice
to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify the Lenders, on or
prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Any termination or reduction of the
Commitments of any Class shall be permanent.  Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall
be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Commitments of such Class.

 

37

 

SECTION 2.09.  Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.  (a)  The Borrower hereby unconditionally
promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender
on the Revolving Maturity Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of
such Lender as provided in Section 2.10 and (iii) to the Swingline
Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the Revolving
Maturity Date; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is
made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans that were outstanding on the
date such Borrowing was requested.

 

(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, the Class and Type thereof 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.

 

(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 of any Class 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 in a form approved by the Administrative
Agent.  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 2.10. Amortization of Term Loans.  (a)  Subject to adjustment pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrower shall repay Term Borrowings on
each date set forth below in the aggregate principal amount set forth opposite
such date:

(b)                                 To
the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the
Term Loan Maturity Date.

 

(c)                                  Any
prepayment of a Term Borrowing or an Incremental Extension of Credit shall be (i) in
the case of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11(a), allocated
between the Term Borrowings and the Incremental Extensions of Credit as
directed by the Borrower and applied to reduce the remaining subsequent
scheduled repayments of the Term Borrowings or Incremental Extensions of
Credit, as applicable, pursuant to this Section in direct order of
maturity and (ii) in the case of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11(c),
Section 2.11(d) or Section 6.01(a)(viii), allocated between the
Term Borrowings and Incremental Extensions of Credit ratably and applied (x) in
the case of Term Borrowings, to reduce the subsequent scheduled

 

39

 

repayments of the Term Borrowings to be made pursuant to this Section within
such Class ratably and (y) in the case of Incremental Extensions of
Credit, as agreed in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment implementing
such Incremental Extension of Credit.

 

(d)                                 Prior
to any repayment of any Term Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select
the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative
Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than
11:00 a.m., New York City time, (i) three Business Days before the
scheduled date of such repayment in the case of Eurodollar Borrowings or (ii) one
Business Day before the scheduled date of repayment in the case of ABR
Borrowings.  Each repayment of a
Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid
Borrowing.  Repayments of Term Borrowings
shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.

 

SECTION 2.11.  Prepayment of Loans.  (a)  The Borrower shall have the right
at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part,
subject to the requirements of this Section.

 

(b)                                 In
the event and on such occasion that the aggregate amount of the Lenders’
Revolving Exposures exceeds the total amount of the Lenders’ Revolving
Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Borrowings or Swingline
Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in
an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) in
an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

 

(c)                                  In
the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on
behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event,
the Borrower shall, within three Business Days after such Net Proceeds are
received, prepay Term Borrowings and Incremental Extensions of Credit in an
aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds; provided that, in
the case of any event described in clauses (a) or (b) of the
definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, if the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that
the Borrower and the Subsidiaries intend to apply the Net Proceeds from such
event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate), within 360 days
after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire real property, equipment or
other tangible assets to be used in the business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries,
and certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing, then no
prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net
Proceeds in respect of such event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds
specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of any such
Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied or committed to be applied
pursuant to a bona fide contract by the end of such 360-day period, at
which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net
Proceeds that have not been so applied.

 

(d)                                 Commencing
with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005, the Borrower shall prepay
Term Borrowings and Incremental Extensions of Credit in an

 

40

 

aggregate amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) 50% of Excess
Cash Flow over (B) prepayments of Term Loans and Incremental Extensions of
Credit under Section 2.11 (a) during such fiscal year, for any fiscal
year for which the Net Leverage Ratio at the end of such fiscal year is greater
than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00, (ii) the excess of (A) 25% of Excess
Cash Flow over (B) prepayments of Term Loans and Incremental Extensions of
Credit under Section 2.11(a) during such fiscal year, for any fiscal
year for which the Net Leverage Ratio at the end of such fiscal year is greater
than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 and less than 3.75 to 1.00 and (iii) 0% of
Excess Cash Flow for any fiscal year for which the Net Leverage Ratio at the
end of such fiscal year is less than 3.00 to 1.00.  Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph
shall be made on or before the date on which financial statements are delivered
pursuant to Section 5.01 with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess
Cash Flow is being calculated (and in any event within 90 days after the end of
such fiscal year).

 

(e)                                  Prior
to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower
shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such
selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (f) of
this Section.

 

(f)                                    The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment
of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy)
of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business
Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an
ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business
Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a
Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of
prepayment.  Each such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each
Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory
prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment;
provided that, if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a
conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated
by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such
notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice
(other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative
Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing
shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a
Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as
necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment.  Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be
applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing; provided
that prepayments of Revolving Borrowings shall be deemed to be applied first,
to Revolving Borrowings used for purposes other than to finance Permitted
Acquisitions and second, to Revolving Borrowings used to finance Permitted
Acquisitions.  Prepayments shall be
accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

 

(g)                                 All
voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans effected on or prior to the first
anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date with the proceeds of a

 

41

 

substantially concurrent issuance or incurrence of new term loans under
this Agreement, as amended, amended and restated, supplemented, waived or
otherwise modified from time to time (excluding a refinancing of all the
facilities outstanding under this Agreement in connection with another
transaction not permitted by this Agreement (as determined prior to giving
effect to any amendment or waiver of this Agreement being adopted in connection
with such transaction)), shall be accompanied by a prepayment fee equal to
1.00% of the aggregate amount of such prepayments if the Applicable Rate (or
similar interest rate spread) applicable to such new term loans is or, upon the
satisfaction of certain conditions, could be less than the Applicable Rate
applicable to the Term Loans on the Restatement Effective Date.

 

SECTION 2.12.  Fees. 
(a)  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate
equal to 0.50% per annum on the average daily unused amount of each Revolving
Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Original
Closing Date to but excluding the date on which the Revolving Commitments
terminate.  Accrued commitment fees shall
be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December and on the date on which such Commitments terminate, commencing
on the first such date to occur after the date hereof.  All commitment fees shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  For purposes of computing commitment fees
with respect to Revolving Commitments, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall
be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC
Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be
disregarded for such purpose).

 

(b)                                 The
Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in
Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to
determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average
daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and
including the Original Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on
which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such
Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the applicable Issuing
Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum
separately agreed upon between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank on the
average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and
including the Original Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of
termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to
be any LC Exposure, as well as the applicable Issuing Bank’s standard fees with
respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of
Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. 
Participation fees and fronting fees shall be payable on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on
the first such date to occur after the Original Closing Date; provided
that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving
Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the
Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.  Any other fees

 

42

 

payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable
within 10 days after demand.  All
participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day).

 

(c)                                  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.

 

(d)                                 All
fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available
funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the
case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees
and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto.  Fees paid shall not be refundable under any
circumstances.

 

SECTION 2.13.  Interest.  (a)  The Loans comprising each ABR
Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate
Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

 

(b)                                 The
Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted
LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the
Applicable Rate.

 

(c)                                  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 as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in
the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise
applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or
(ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR
Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

 

(d)                                 Accrued
interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the
Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant
to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in
the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment
of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability
Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be
payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event
of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current
Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the
effective date of such conversion.

 

(e)                                  All
interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except
that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when
the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate 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

 

43

 

the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).  The applicable
Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the
Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

 

SECTION 2.14.  Alternate Rate of Interest.  If prior to the commencement of any Interest
Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

 

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

 

(b)                                 the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO
Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost
to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing
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 (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give promptly
after such circumstances cease to exist), (i) any Interest Election
Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of
any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if
any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be
made as an ABR Borrowing.

 

SECTION 2.15.  Increased Costs.  (a)  If any Change in Law shall:

 

(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 (except any such reserve requirement to the extent reflected in the
Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or

 

(ii)                                  impose
on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other
condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or
any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

 

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

 

(b)                                 If
any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding
capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of

 

44

 

return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of
such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of
this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit
held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to
a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or
Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the
policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to
capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender
or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

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

 

(d)                                 Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender or an Issuing Bank to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or
Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant
to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than
180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’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
180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period
of retroactive effect thereof.

 

SECTION 2.16.  Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the
conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or
prepay any Revolving Loan or Term Loan on the date specified in any notice
delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked
under Section 2.11(f) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the
assignment of any Eurodollar 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 2.19,
then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss
(other than loss of margin or anticipated profit), cost and expense
attributable to such event.  In the case
of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed
to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the
amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such
Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have
been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the
last day of the then current Interest

 

45

 

Period
therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the
period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the
amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period
at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the
commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and
period from other banks in the eurodollar market.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth 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.

 

SECTION 2.17.  Taxes. 
(a)  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the
Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and
clear of and without 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, a Lender or an Issuing Bank (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, each Lender and each Issuing
Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender
or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by
or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other
Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted
on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank,
or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an
Issuing Bank, 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.

 

46

 

(e)                                  Each
Foreign Lender 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 a reduced rate, pursuant 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.

 

(f)                                    If
the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole good faith
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to
which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17,
it shall upon such determination pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only
to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the
Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other
than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to
the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in
the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. 
This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative
Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other
Person.

 

SECTION 2.18.  Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment;
Sharing of Setoffs.  (a)  The
Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under
any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement
of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or
2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under
such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly
required, prior to 12:00 noon, 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 Eleven Madison
Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing
Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments
pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the
Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be
made to the Persons specified therein. 
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 under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a

 

47

 

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 under each Loan Document 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, unreimbursed LC
Disbursements, 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 and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such
parties.

 

(c)                                  If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or by
taking a credit against the purchase price payable in respect of Collateral
pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Collateral Agreement or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans,
Term Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting
in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate
amount of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline 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
Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and
Swingline 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
Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and
Swingline 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 or participations
in LC Disbursements 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 or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not
make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has
made

 

48

 

such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance
upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank,
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 or each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to
the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender or Issuing Bank 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(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c),
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 2.19.  Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of
Lenders.  (a)  If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.15, 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 2.17, then such Lender shall
use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder
to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such
Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, 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.

 

(b)                                 If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, 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 2.17, 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 (and
if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank and the
Swingline Lender), 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 and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline
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

 

49

 

other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments
required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result
in a material 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.

 

SECTION 2.20.  Incremental Extensions of Credit.  At any time prior to the Term Loan Maturity
Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may at
any time and from time to time, by notice to the Administrative Agent
(whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such
notice to each of the Lenders), request to add additional term loans (the “Incremental
Extensions of Credit”) in minimum principal amounts of $50,000,000; provided
that immediately prior to and after giving effect to any Incremental Facility
Amendment (as defined below), (a) no Default has occurred or is continuing
or shall result therefrom and (b) on a Pro Forma Basis, as of the last day
of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which financial
statements are available, (i) the Borrower shall be in compliance with the
covenants contained in Sections 6.12 and 6.13 and (ii) the Net Senior
Secured Leverage Ratio shall be less than 2.50 to 1.00.  The Incremental Extensions of Credit (a) shall
be in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $100,000,000, (b) shall
rank pari  passu in right of payment and right of security in
respect of the Collateral with the Term Loans and (c) other than
amortization, pricing and maturity date, shall have the same terms as the Term
Loans as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the applicable
Incremental Facility Amendment; provided that (i) if the Applicable
Rate (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all upfront or
similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing such
Incremental Extensions of Credit) relating to the Incremental Extensions of
Credit exceeds the Applicable Rate (which, for such purposes only, shall be
deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount
payable to all Term Loan Lenders) relating to the Term Loans by more than
0.25%, the Applicable Rate relating to the Term Loans shall be adjusted to be
equal to the Applicable Rate (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to
include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all
Lenders providing such Incremental Extensions of Credit) relating to the
applicable Incremental Extensions of Credit minus 0.25%, (ii) the
Incremental Extensions of Credit shall not have a final maturity date earlier
than the Term Loan Maturity Date and (iii) the Incremental Extensions of
Credit shall not have a weighted average life that is shorter than that of the
then-remaining weighted average life of the Term Loans.  No Term Loan Lender shall be obligated to
provide any Incremental Extension of Credit unless it so agrees.  Any additional bank, financial institution,
Term Loan Lender or other Person that elects to extend Incremental Extensions
of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (any such bank, financial institution, Term Loan Lender or
other Person being called an “Additional Lender”) and shall become a
Lender under this Agreement, pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental
Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement, giving effect to the modifications
permitted by this Section 2.20, and, as appropriate, the other Loan
Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Additional Lender and the
Administrative Agent.  Commitments in
respect of Incremental

 

50

 

Extensions
of Credit shall be Commitments under this Agreement.  An Incremental Facility Amendment may,
without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the
opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20
(including voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders comparable to
the provisions of clause (B) of the second proviso of Section 9.02).  The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility
Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental
Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02
(it being understood that all references to “the date of such Borrowing”
in such Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the Incremental Facility
Closing Date).  The proceeds of the
Incremental Extensions of Credit shall be used to make Permitted Acquisitions
or to repay outstanding Revolving Loans.

Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered
by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of
the Borrower or such Loan Party (as the case may be), enforceable in accordance
with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to
general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law.

 

SECTION 3.03.  Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts.  The Transactions (a) do not require any

in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of Holdings, the
Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, except Liens created under the Loan
Documents.

 

SECTION 3.04.  Financial Condition; No Material Adverse
Change.  (a)The Borrower has
heretofore furnished to the Lenders (i) its consolidated balance sheet as
of December 27, 2002 and December 26, 2003, (ii) its
consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the
fiscal years ended December 28, 2001, December 27, 2002 and December 26,
2003, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), reported on by Deloitte &
Touche LLP, independent public accountants, and (iii) its consolidated
balance sheet and consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and

Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public accountants, in accordance
with Statement on Auditing Standards No.  100 and certified by the chief
financial officer of the Borrower.  Such
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and the

accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of
footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (iii) above.

 

(b)                                 The
Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its pro forma consolidated
balance sheet as of September 24, 2004, prepared giving effect to the

as disclosed in the financial statements referred to above or the notes thereto
or in the Information Memorandum and except for the Disclosed Matters, after
giving effect to the Transactions, none of Holdings, the Borrower or the
Subsidiaries has, as of the Restatement Effective Date, any material contingent
liabilities, unusual long-term commitments or unrealized losses.

 

(d)                                 Since
December 27, 2002, there has been no material adverse change in the
condition (financial or otherwise), assets, operations or business of Holdings,
the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

 

52

 

SECTION 3.05.  Properties.  (a)  Each of Holdings, the Borrower and
the Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all the
real and personal property material to its business (including its Mortgaged
Properties), except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its
ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such
properties for their intended purposes.

 

(b)                                 Each
of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all
trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property
material to its business, and, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower,
the use thereof by Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries does not
infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements
that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(c)                                  Schedule 3.05
sets forth the address of each real property that is owned or leased by
Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries as of the Restatement
Effective Date after giving effect to the Transactions.

 

(d)                                 As
of the Restatement Effective Date, none of Holdings, the Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries has received notice of, or has knowledge of, any pending or
contemplated condemnation proceeding affecting any Mortgaged Property or any
Specified Property or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation.  Neither any Mortgaged Property or any
Specified Property nor any interest therein is subject to any right of first
refusal, option or other contractual right to purchase such Mortgaged Property
or Specified Property or interest therein.

 

SECTION 3.06.  Litigation and Environmental Matters.  (a)  There are no actions, suits or
proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending
against or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower, threatened against or
affecting Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary (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 aggregate, to
result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that
involve any of the Loan Documents or the Transactions.

 

(b)                                 Except
for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect, none of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary (i) has
failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply
with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental
Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has
received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows
of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

 

SECTION 3.07.  Compliance with Laws and Agreements.  Each of Holdings, the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any
Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures,
agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except

 

53

 

where
the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  No Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

SECTION 3.08.  Investment and Holding Company Status.  None of Holdings, the Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries is (a) an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to
regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940 or (b) a “holding
company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935.

 

SECTION 3.09.  Taxes. 
Each of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries has timely filed or
caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and
has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it,
except (a) any Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and for which Holdings, the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as
applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves to the extent required
by GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

SECTION 3.10.  ERISA. 
No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when
taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is
reasonably expected to result, could reasonably be expected to result in an
unsatisfied liability of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries in an
aggregate amount exceeding $5,000,000 for all periods.  The present value of all accumulated benefit
obligations under all Plans (based on the assumptions used by such Plan for
purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not,
as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts,
exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by an amount greater
than $5,000,000.  The minimum funding
standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan have been satisfied.

 

SECTION 3.11.  Disclosure.  The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all
agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which Holdings,
the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known
to any of them, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Information Memorandum nor any of
the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information
furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by
other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or
omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided
that, with respect to projected financial information, Holdings and the
Borrower represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based
upon assumptions believed by it to be reasonable at the time.

 

SECTION 3.12.  Subsidiaries.  Holdings does not have any subsidiaries other
than the Borrower and the Subsidiaries.  Schedule 3.12
sets forth the name of, and

 

54

 

the
ownership interest of the Borrower in, each Subsidiary and identifies each
Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Loan Party, in each case as of the Restatement
Effective Date.

 

SECTION 3.13.  Insurance.  Schedule 3.13 sets forth a description
of all insurance maintained by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries as of the Restatement Effective Date.  As of the Restatement Effective Date, all
premiums in respect of such insurance have been paid.  The Borrower believes that the insurance
maintained by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is
adequate.

 

SECTION 3.14.  Labor Matters.  As of the Restatement Effective Date, there
are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against Holdings, the Borrower or any
Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened.  The hours worked by and payments made to
employees of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have not been in
violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal,
state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters.  All payments due from Holdings, the Borrower
or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against Holdings, the
Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare
insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the
books of Holdings, the Borrower or such Subsidiary.  The consummation of the Transactions will not
give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of
any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which Holdings, the
Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound.

 

SECTION 3.15.  Solvency.  Immediately after the consummation of the
Transactions to occur on the Restatement Effective Date and immediately
following the making of each Loan made on the Restatement Effective Date and
after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans, (a) the
fair value of the assets of each Loan Party, at a fair valuation, will exceed
its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the
present fair saleable value of the property of each Loan Party will be greater
than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its
debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such
debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) each Loan
Party will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent
or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) each
Loan Party will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the
business in which it is engaged as such business is currently conducted and is
proposed to be conducted following the Restatement Effective Date.

 

SECTION 3.16.  Senior Indebtedness; Designated Senior
Indebtedness.  The Obligations
constitute “Senior Indebtedness” and “Designated Senior Indebtedness” under and
as defined in the Senior Subordinated Debt Documents and the Subordinated
Promissory Note (and to the extent any Additional Senior Subordinated Notes are
issued, the documents governing the Additional Senior Subordinated Notes).

ARTICLE IV

 

Conditions

 

SECTION 4.01.  [Intentionally Omitted.]

 

SECTION 4.02.  Each Credit Event.  The obligation of each Lender to make a Loan
on the occasion of any Borrowing, and of any Issuing Bank to issue, amend,
renew or extend any Letter of Credit, is subject to receipt of the request
therefor in accordance herewith and to the satisfaction of the following
conditions:

 

(a)                                  The
representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan
Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date
of such Borrowing or the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of
such Letter of Credit, except to the extent such representations and warranties
expressly relate to an earlier date, as applicable.

 

(b)                                 At
the time of and immediately after giving effect to such Borrowing or the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, as
applicable, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

Each Borrowing and each issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to constitute a
representation and warranty by Holdings and the Borrower on the date thereof as
to the matters specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section.

 

ARTICLE V

 

Affirmative
Covenants

 

Until the Commitments
have expired or been terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan
and all fees payable hereunder shall have been paid in full and all Letters of
Credit shall have expired or terminated and all LC Disbursements shall have
been reimbursed, each of Holdings and the Borrower covenants and agrees with
the Lenders that:

 

SECTION 5.01.  Financial Statements and Other Information.  Holdings and the Borrower will furnish to the
Administrative Agent and each Lender through the Administrative Agent:

 

(a)                                  within
90 days (or such shorter period as the SEC shall specify for the filing of
annual reports on Form 10-K) after the end of each fiscal year of
the Borrower, a copy of its audited consolidated balance sheet and related
statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as of the end of
and for such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures
as of the end of and for the previous fiscal year, all reported on by Deloitte
and Touche LLP or other independent public accountants of recognized national
standing (without a

 

56

 

“going concern” or like
qualification or exception and without any qualification or exception as to the
scope of such audit) to the effect that such consolidated financial statements
present fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of
operations of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied;

 

(b)                                 within
45 days (or such shorter period as the SEC shall specify for the filing of
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q) after the end of each of the first
three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year of the Borrower, its consolidated

SECTION 6.14.  Maximum Capital Expenditures.  (a)  The Borrower will not, nor will it
permit any Subsidiary to, incur or make any Capital Expenditures during any
fiscal year in an amount exceeding (i) 2.5% of Net Sales for such fiscal
year, plus (ii) Retained Excess Cash Flow for the immediately prior fiscal
year (to the extent such Retained Excess Cash Flow has not been applied
previously to repurchase Subordinated Debt, make Permitted Acquisitions or make
Capital Expenditures).

 

(b)                                 The
amount of any Capital Expenditures permitted to be made in respect of any
fiscal year shall be increased by the unused amount of Capital Expenditures
that were permitted to be made during the immediately preceding fiscal year
pursuant to Section 6.14(a). 
Capital Expenditures in any fiscal year shall be deemed to use, first,
the amount for such fiscal year set forth in Section 6.14(a) and,
second, any amount carried forward to such fiscal year pursuant to this Section 6.14(b).

 

(c)                                  In
addition to the Capital Expenditures permitted pursuant to the preceding
paragraphs (a) and (b), the Borrower and the Subsidiaries may make
additional Capital Expenditures with the Net Proceeds from the issuance of
Equity Interests of Holdings (other than the Initial Public Offering) during
the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended immediately prior to the
date of such Capital Expenditure (to the extent not previously applied to
repurchase Subordinated Debt, to make Permitted Acquisitions, to make Capital
Expenditures or to make investments under Section 6.04 (m)).

due and payable, whether at the due date thereof or at a date fixed for
prepayment thereof or otherwise;

 

(b)                                 the

Indebtedness, when and as the same shall become due and payable;

 

(g)                                 any
event or condition occurs that results in any Material Indebtedness becoming

substantial part of its assets, and, in any such case, such proceeding or

$3,000,000 shall be rendered against Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or
any combination thereof and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of
30 consecutive days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed, or
any action shall be legally taken by a judgment creditor to attach or levy upon
any assets of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary to enforce any such
judgment;

 

(l)                                     an
ERISA Event shall have occurred that, in the reasonable opinion of the Required
Lenders, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred,
could reasonably be expected to result in an unsatisfied liability of Holdings,
the Borrower and the Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount exceeding $5,000,000
for all periods;

 

(m)                               (i) any
Loan Document shall for any reason be asserted by Holdings, the Borrower or any
Subsidiary Loan Party not to be a legal, valid and binding obligation of any
party thereto; (ii) any Lien purported to be created under any Security
Document shall cease to be, or shall be asserted by any Loan Party not to be, a
valid and perfected Lien on any Collateral, with the priority required by the
applicable Security Document, except (A) as a result of the sale or other
disposition of the applicable Collateral in a transaction permitted under the
Loan Documents or (B) as a result of the Administrative Agent’s failure to
maintain possession of any stock certificates, promissory notes or other
instruments delivered to it under the Collateral Agreement or (iii) the
Guarantees pursuant to the Security Documents by the Subsidiary Loan Parties of
any of the Obligations shall cease to be in full force and effect (other than
in accordance with the terms hereof) or shall be asserted by any Subsidiary
Loan Party not to be in effect or not to be legal, valid and binding
obligations; or

 

(n)                                 a
Change in Control shall occur;

 

then, and in every such event (other than an event
with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this
Article), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the
Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by
notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the
same or different times:  (i) terminate
the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and
(ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or
in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable

 

77

 

may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and
thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable,
together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of
the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately,
without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which
are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to the
Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article, the
Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then
outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other

and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

The Administrative
Agent

 

Each of the Lenders and
the Issuing Banks 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 of the Loan Documents, 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
Holdings, 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 in
the Loan Documents.  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 by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to
exercise in writing as directed 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 in
the Loan Documents and except for documents, notices and other information to
be provided to the Lenders through the Administrative Agent, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any
of the 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
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 not be 

 

78

 

deemed not to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to
the Administrative Agent by Holdings, 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 any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any
certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection
therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants,
agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or
any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of
any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document,
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
Holdings or 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.

 

Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in
this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days’
notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which successor shall be
approved by the Borrower in writing, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld.  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, on behalf of
the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, 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.  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

 

79

 

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 other Loan Document or related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.

registered mail or sent by telecopy, as follows:

80

 

(v)                                 if

(b)                                 Notices
and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished
by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the
Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to
notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. 
The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree
to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic
communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that
approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or
communications.

 

(c)                                  Any
party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the Administrative Agent.  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, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or
power hereunder or under any other Loan Document 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, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party 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 or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be
construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such
Default at the time.

 

(b)                                 Except
as provided in Section 2.20 with respect to an Incremental Facility
Amendment, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision
hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of
this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into
by Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other
Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into
by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties
thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided
that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender
without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce or forgive the
principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement 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 maturity of any Loan, or
any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.10,

 

81

 

or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any
date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the
amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, postpone the scheduled date of
expiration of any Commitment or permit the expiration date of any Letter of
Credit to be after the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date,
without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(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) change any of the
provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition
of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document
specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class)
required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of
each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), (vi) release
any Subsidiary Loan Party from its Guarantee under the Collateral Agreement
(except as expressly provided in the Collateral Agreement), or limit its
liability in respect of such Guarantee, without the written consent of each
Lender, (vii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the
Liens of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Collateral
Agreement), without the written consent of each Lender, or (viii) change
any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely
affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently
than those holding Loans of any other Class, without the written consent of
Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused
Commitments of each adversely affected Class; provided  further
that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the
rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such
Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (B) any
waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects
the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Revolving Lenders (but not the
Term Loan Lenders) or the Term Loan Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders) may
be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the
Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of
Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if
such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the
time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered
into by Holdings, the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative
Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby, the Issuing
Banks and the Swingline Lender) if (i) by the terms of such agreement the
Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein
shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the
time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto
receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan
made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under
this Agreement.  In connection with any
proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”)
requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required
Lenders to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed
Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such
Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 9.02(b) being
referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the

 

82

 

Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent is not a
Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrower’s request, any assignee that is
acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right, with the
Administrative Agent’s consent, to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender,
and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Borrower’s
request, sell and assign to such assignee, at no expense to such Non-Consenting
Lender (including any processing and recordation fee as may be applicable
pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(ii)(C)), all of the Commitments, Term Loans
and Revolving Exposure of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the
principal balance of all Term Loans and Revolving Loans (and funded
participations in Swingline Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements) held by
such Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto
through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to
an executed Assignment and Assumption in accordance with Section 9.04(b).

 

SECTION 9.03.  Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.  (a)  The Borrower shall pay (i) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and their respective
Affiliates (including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence),
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the
Agents, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any
amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection
with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender,
including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the
enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents,
including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made
or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations
in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

 

(b)                                 The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank 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 reasonable 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 any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their
respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or
any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit
or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank
to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents
presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms
of such Letter of

 

83

 

Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of
Hazardous Materials on or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property
currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower
or any of the 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 to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Indemnitee.

 

(c)                                  To
the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it
to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender under
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, (i) in the case of amounts
required to be paid to the Administrative Agent, each Lender severally agrees
to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as
of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is
sought) of such unpaid amount and (ii) in the case of amounts required to
be paid to any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, each Revolving Lender
severally agrees to pay to the applicable Issuing Bank or applicable Swingline
Lender, as the case may be, such Revolving Lender’s pro rata share (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, the
applicable Issuing Bank or the applicable Swingline Lender in its capacity as
such.  For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro
rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total
Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

 

(d)                                 To
the extent permitted by applicable law, neither Holdings nor the Borrower shall
assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory
of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as
opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as
a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby,
the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds
thereof.

 

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

 

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 (including any Affiliate of
an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the
Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any such
attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be
null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its
rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any

 

84

 

Person

permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any
Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of
this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related
Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders)
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement.

 

(b)                                 (i) 
Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, 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 Commitments

consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

 

(A)                              the
Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for
an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if such assignment is made
in connection with the syndication of the Revolving Commitments by the Agents,
any other assignee;

 

(B)                                the
Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative
Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan
to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

 

(C)                                the
Issuing Banks; provided that no consent of the Issuing Banks shall be
required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan.

 

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

 

(A)                              except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender
subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent) shall not be less than $2,500,000 (or, in the case of the Term Loans,
$1,000,000) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise
consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided
that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing;

 

(B)                                each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of
all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided
that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in
respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

 

(C)                                the
parties to each assignment shall (1) electronically execute and deliver to
the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an

 

85

 

electronic settlement

ClearPar, LLC) or (2) if no such system shall be acceptable to the
Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500; provided that only one such fee shall be payable in connection
with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Approved Funds; and

 

(D)                               the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 

For purposes of this Section 9.04(b),
the terms “Approved Fund” and “CLO” have the following meanings:

 

“Approved Fund”
means (a) a CLO and (b) with respect to any Lender that is a fund
which invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit, any other fund
that invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit and is managed by
the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such
investment advisor.

 

“CLO” means any
entity (whether a corporation, partnership, trust or otherwise) that is engaged
in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar
extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its investing activities and is
administered or managed by a Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender.

 

(iii)                               Subject to acceptance
and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section,
from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption
the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender
thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03).  Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes
of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights
and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

 

(iv)                              The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses
of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC
Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to
time (the “Register”).  The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly
demonstrable error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Banks 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

 

86

 

notice to the contrary.  The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any
Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

 

(v)                                 Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption 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 Assumption
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.

 

(c)                                  (i) 
Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more
banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Banks 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.  Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this
Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of
this Section.  To the extent permitted by
law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08
as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as
though it were a Lender.

 

(ii)                                  A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15
or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect
to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the
participation to such Participant is made with the 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 2.17
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 2.17(e) as
though it were a Lender.

 

87

 

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

 

SECTION 9.05.  Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been
relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any
Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party
or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing
Bank 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 or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and
so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17
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, the expiration or termination of the Letters of
Credit and the Commitments 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, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with
respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire
contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede
any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating
to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided
in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have
been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall
have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto, 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

 

88

 

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, 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
applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of
such setoff or application; provided that any failure to give or delay
in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff or
application under this Section.  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.  (a)  This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the
State of New York.

 

(b)                                 Each
of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits,
for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United
States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate
court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and
each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that
all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such
Federal court.  Each of the parties
hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
or in any other manner provided by law. 
Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any
right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may
otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document against Holdings, the Borrower or their properties in
the courts of any jurisdiction.

 

(c)                                  Each
of Holdings and 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 or any other Loan
Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

89

 

(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 or any other Loan
Document 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

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.

Section.  For

 

90

 

the purposes of this
Section, “Information” means all information received from Holdings and

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 with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective
Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

 

SECTION 9.14.  USA Patriot Act.  Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that
pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information
includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will
allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot
Act.

 

SECTION 9.15.  Existing Credit Agreement; Effectiveness
of Amendment and Restatement.  Until
this Agreement becomes effective in accordance with the terms of the Amendment
and Restatement Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect and shall not be affected hereby.  After the Restatement Effective Date, all
obligations of the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement shall become
obligations of the Borrower hereunder, secured by the Security Documents, and
the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be superseded by the
provisions hereof.

(i)Vacation.
The Executive shall be provided four (4) weeks paid vacation per year, provided

(iii)

6.             Termination. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(a)           For Cause by the Company.  The Employment Term and the Executive’s
employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company for “Cause.”  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause”
shall mean (i) the Executive’s gross neglect of, or willful and continued
failure to substantially perform, his duties hereunder (other than as a result
of total or partial incapacity due to physical or mental illness); (ii) a
willful act by the Executive against the interests of the Company or which causes
or is intended to cause harm to the Company or its stockholders; (iii) the
Executive’s conviction, or plea of no contest or guilty, to a felony under the
laws of the United States or any state thereof or of a lesser offense involving
dishonesty, the theft of Company property or moral turpitude; or (iv) a
material breach of the Agreement by the Executive which is not cured by the
Executive within twenty (20) days (where the breach is curable) following
written notice to the Executive by the Company of the nature of the
breach.  Upon termination of the
Executive’s employment for Cause pursuant to this Section 6(a), the Executive
shall be paid any accrued and unpaid Base Salary and Benefits through the date
of termination and shall have no additional rights to any compensation or any
other benefits under the Agreement or otherwise.

(b)           Disability or Death.  The Employment Term and the Executive’s
employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death or if the Executive is
unable for an aggregate of six (6) months in any twelve (12) consecutive month
period to perform his duties due to the Executive’s physical or mental
incapacity, as reasonably determined by the Board (such incapacity is
hereinafter referred to as “Disability”).  Upon termination of the Executive’s
employment hereunder for either Disability or death, the Executive or his
estate (as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive (i) any accrued and
unpaid Base Salary and Benefits and (ii) a bonus for the calendar year in which
termination occurs, equal to the bonus which the Executive

 

3

 

would
have been entitled to if he had remained employed by the Company at the end of
such calendar year, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days in such calendar year preceding the date of death or termination
of employment and the denominator of which is 365 (a “Pro Rata Bonus”).  Upon termination of the Executive’s
employment due to Disability or death pursuant to this Section 6(b), the
Executive shall have no additional rights to any compensation or any other
benefits under this Agreement.  All other
benefits, if any, due the Executive following his termination for Disability or
death shall be determined in accordance with the plans, policies and practices
of the Company.

(c)           Without Cause by the Company.  The Employment Term and the Executive’s
employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company without “Cause.”  If the Executive’s employment is terminated
by the Company without “Cause” (other than by reason of Disability or death),
the Executive shall be entitled to receive any accrued and unpaid Base Salary
and Benefits.  The Executive shall be
entitled to the following additional payments or benefits, as applicable:

(i)            If
the Executive is terminated without Cause by the Company pursuant to Section
6(c) prior to December 31, 2005 then he shall be entitled to receive (i) continuation
of his Base Salary through December 31, 2005 (such Base Salary to be paid at
the rate set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement), (ii) continued
reimbursement of his automobile related expenses related to the Executive’s
primary automobile payable in accordance with the Company’s policies through
December 31, 2006 and (iii) continuation of his health and dental insurance
coverage on the same basis as those benefits are generally made available to
other executives of the Company through December 31, 2006.

 

(ii)            If
the Executive is terminated without Cause by the Company on or after December
31, 2005, then he shall be entitled to receive (i) continued reimbursement of
his automobile related expenses related to the Executive’s primary automobile
payable in accordance with the Company’s policies through December 31, 2006 and
(ii) continuation of his health and dental insurance coverage on the same basis
as those benefits are generally made available to other executives of the
Company through December 31, 2006.

 

                                Upon termination of Executive’s
employment by the Company without Cause pursuant to this Section 6(c),
Executive shall have no additional rights to any compensation or any other
benefits under this Agreement.  All other
benefits, if any, due Executive following Executive’s termination of employment
by the Company without Cause shall be determined in accordance with the plans,
policies and practices of the Company.

 

(d)           Voluntary Termination by Executive.  The Executive shall provide the Company
thirty (30) days’ advance written notice in the event the Executive terminates
his employment, other than for Good Reason (as hereinafter defined); provided
that the President may, in his sole discretion, terminate the Executive’s
employment with the Company prior to the expiration of the thirty-day notice
period.  In such event and upon the
expiration of such thirty-day period (or such shorter time as the President in
his sole discretion may determine), the Executive’s employment under this
Agreement shall immediately and automatically terminate,

 

4

 

and
the Executive shall be limited to receiving any Base Salary earned and unpaid
as of the Executive’s termination date.

(e)           Termination for Good Reason.  The Executive may terminate his employment
hereunder for “Good Reason” at any time during the Employment Term.  For purposes of the Agreement, “Good
Reason” shall mean (i) a material breach of the terms of this Agreement by
the Company, (ii) the Company requiring the Executive to move his primary place
of employment more than thirty-five (35) miles from the then current place of
employment, if such move materially increases his commute, or (iii) a material
diminution of the Executive’s responsibilities, provided that any of the
foregoing is not cured by the Company within twenty (20) days following receipt
of written notice by the Executive to the Company of the specific nature of the
breach.  No termination for Good Reason
shall be permitted unless the Company shall have first received written notice
from the Executive describing the basis of such termination for Good Reason.  A termination of the Executive’s employment
for Good Reason pursuant to this Section 6(e) shall be treated for purposes of
this Agreement as a termination by the Company without Cause and the applicable
provisions of Section 6(c) relating to the payment of compensation and benefits
shall apply.

(f)            Benefits/Release.  In addition to any amounts which may be
payable following a termination of employment pursuant to one of the paragraphs
of this Section 6, the Executive or his beneficiaries shall be entitled to
receive any benefits that may be provided for under the terms of an employee
benefit plan in which the Executive is participating at the time of
termination.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive acknowledges and
agrees that any and all payments, other than the payment of any accrued and
unpaid Base Salary and Benefits, to which the Executive is entitled under this
Section 6 are conditioned upon and subject to the Executive’s execution of
a general waiver and release, in such form as may be prepared by the Company’s
attorneys, of all claims and issues arising under the Employment Agreement,
except for such matters covered by provisions of this Agreement which expressly
survive the termination of this Agreement.

(g)           Except as provided in this Section 6, the
Company shall have no further obligation or liability under this Agreement
following a termination of employment by the Executive.

(h)           Notice of Termination.  Any purported termination of employment by the
Company or by the Executive shall be communicated by written notice of
termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 12(h)
hereof.

7.             Non-Competition.

(a)           The Executive acknowledges and
recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and
its affiliates, the valuable confidential business information in such
Executive’s possession and the customer goodwill associated with the ongoing
business practice of the Company, and accordingly agrees as follows:

 

5

 

(i)            During the Employment Term and, for
a period ending on the expiration of two years following the termination of the
Executive’s employment (the “Restricted Period”), the Executive will not
directly or indirectly, (i) engage in any business for the Executive’s own
account that competes with the business of the Company, (ii) enter the
employ of, or render any services to, any person engaged in any business that
competes with the business of the Company, (iii) acquire a financial
interest in, or otherwise become actively involved with, any person engaged in
any business that competes with the business of the Company, directly or
indirectly, as an individual, partner, shareholder, officer, director,
principal, agent, trustee or consultant, or (iv) interfere with business
relationships (whether formed before or after the date of this Agreement)
between the Company or any of its affiliates that are engaged in a business
similar to the business of the Company (the “Company Affiliates”) and
customers or suppliers of the Company or the Company Affiliates.

(ii)           Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the Executive may directly or indirectly own,
solely as a passive investment, securities of any person engaged in the
business of the Company which are publicly traded on a national or regional
stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market if the Executive (i) is
not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such person
and (ii) does not, directly or indirectly, own one percent (1%) or more of
any class of securities of such person.

(iii)          During the Restricted Period, and for
an additional one year after the end of the Restricted Period, the Executive
will not, directly or indirectly, (i) without the written consent of the
Company, solicit or encourage any employee of the Company or the Company
Affiliates to leave the employment of the Company or the Company Affiliates, or
(ii) without the written consent of the Company (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld), hire any such employee who has left the employment of
the Company or the Company Affiliates (other than as a result of the
termination of such employment by the Company or the Company Affiliates) within
one year after the termination of such employee’s employment with the Company
or the Company Affiliates.

(iv)          During the Restricted Period, the
Executive will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage to cease to
work with the Company or the Company Affiliates any consultant then under
contract with the Company or the Company Affiliates.

(b)           It is expressly understood and agreed
that although the Executive and the Company consider the restrictions contained
in this Section 8 to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made
by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other
restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against
the Executive, the provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but
shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to
such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be
enforceable.  Alternatively, if any court
of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this
Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to
make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of
the other restrictions contained herein.

 

6

 

8.             Confidentiality. 
The Executive will not at any time (whether during or after his
employment with the company) disclose or use for his own benefit or purposes or
the benefit or purposes of any other person, firm, partnership, joint venture,
association, corporation or other business organization, entity or enterprise
other than the Company and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, any trade
secrets, information, data, or other confidential information relating to
customers, development programs, costs, marketing, trading, investment, sales
activities, promotion, credit and financial data, manufacturing processes,
financing methods, plans, or the business and affairs of the Company generally,
or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, provided that the
foregoing shall not apply to information which is generally known to the
industry or the public other than as a result of the Executive’s breach of this
covenant.  The Executive agrees that upon
termination of his employment with the Company for any reason, he will return
to the Company immediately all memoranda, books, papers, plans, information,
letters and other data, and all copies thereof or therefrom, in any way
relating to the business of the Company and its affiliates, except that he may
retain personal notes, notebooks and diaries. 
The Executive further agrees that he will not retain or use for his
account at any time any trade names, trademark or other proprietary business
designation used or owned in connection with the business of the Company or its
affiliates.

9.             Specific Performance.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that
the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the
provisions of Section 8 or Section 9 would be inadequate and, in
recognition of this fact, the Executive agrees that, in the event of such a
breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company,
without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the
form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or
permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

10.           Independence, Severability and
Non-Exclusivity.  Each of the rights
and remedies set forth in this Agreement shall be independent of the others and
shall be severally enforceable and all of such rights and remedies shall be in
addition to and not in lieu of any other rights and remedies available to the
Company or its affiliates under the law or in equity.  If any of the provisions contained in this Agreement,
including without limitation, the rights and remedies enumerated herein, is
hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect
the remainder of the covenant or covenants, or rights or remedies, which shall
be given full effect without regard to the invalid portions.

11.           Miscellaneous.

(a)           Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to
its conflicts of law doctrine.

(b)           Entire Agreement/Amendments.  This Agreement contains the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the employment of the Executive by
the Company.  There are no restrictions,
agreements, promises, warranties, covenants or undertakings between the parties
with respect to the subject matter herein other than those

 

7

 

expressly
set forth herein.  This Agreement may not
be altered, modified, or amended except by written instrument signed by the
parties hereto.

(c)           No Waiver.  The failure of a party to insist upon strict
adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered
a waiver of such party’s rights or deprive such party of the right thereafter
to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this
Agreement.

(d)           Severability.  In the event that any one or more of the
provisions of this Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

(e)           Assignment.  This Agreement shall not be assignable by the
Executive.  This Agreement may be
assigned by the Company to a company which is a successor in interest to
substantially all of the business operations of the Company or to the financial
institution(s) providing the Company’s senior credit facility.  Such assignment shall become effective when
the Company notifies the Executive of such assignment or at such later date as
may be specified in such notice.  Upon
such assignment, the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder shall
become the rights and obligations of such successor company, provided
that any assignee expressly assumes the obligations, rights and privileges of
this Agreement.

(f)            No Mitigation.  The Executive shall not be required to
mitigate the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement by
seeking other employment and, to the extent that the Executive obtains or
undertakes other employment, the payment will not be reduced by the earnings of
the Executive from the other employment.

(g)           Successors; Binding Agreement.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of

administrators, successors, heirs, distributes, devises and legatees.

and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United
States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed,
in the case of the Executive, to the Executive’s address on file with the
Company; all notices to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the
President or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the
other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of
address shall be effective only upon receipt.

(i)            Withholding Taxes.  The Company may withhold from any amounts
payable under this Agreement such Federal, state and local taxes as may be
required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
