the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the
application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an
amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any
such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application
thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in
effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective
until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in
accordance herewith.

The Credits

 

SECTION 2.01.  Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower
from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal
amount that will not result in (a) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure
exceeding such Lender’s Commitment, or (b) the sum of the total Revolving
Credit Exposures plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive
Loans exceeding the total Commitments. 
Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

 

SECTION 2.02.  Loans and
Borrowings.  (a)   Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part
of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with their respective Commitments. 
Each Competitive Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures
set forth in Section 2.06.  The failure
of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any
other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments
and Competitive Bids of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be
responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

 

(b)  Subject to Section 2.14, (i)
each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar
Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith, and (ii) each
Competitive Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Loans or Fixed
Rate Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith.  Each Lender at its option may make any
Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such
Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option
shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(c)  At the commencement of each Interest Period
for any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate
amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than
$5,000,000.  At the time that each ABR
Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount
that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000; provided
that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to
the entire unused balance of the total Commitments.  Each Competitive Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that
is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000.  Borrowings of more than one Type and Class
may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at
any time be more than a total of ten (10) Eurodollar Revolving Borrowings
outstanding.

 

(d)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to
convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with
respect thereto would end after the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 

SECTION 2.03.  Requests for
Revolving Borrowings.  To
request a Revolving Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent of such request by telephone prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time (a)
three (3) Business Days before the date of the

 

17

 

proposed Borrowing in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, or (b) one
(1) Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of an
ABR Borrowing.  Each such telephonic
Revolving Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed
promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written
Revolving Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and
signed by the Borrower.  Each such
telephonic and written Revolving Borrowing Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:

 

(i)            the aggregate amount
of the requested Borrowing;

 

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

 

(iii)          whether such Borrowing
is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

 

(iv)          in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto,
which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest
Period”; and

 

(v)           the location and number
of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall
comply with the requirements of Section 2.07.

 

If no election as to the Type of Revolving
Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be an ABR
Borrowing.  If no Interest Period is
specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then
the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
duration.  Promptly following receipt of
a Revolving Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the
amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

 

SECTION 2.04.  Term Loans.  The Revolving Loans outstanding at
the close of business on the Revolving Credit Termination Date shall, at the
option of the Borrower by notice given to the Administrative Agent as provided
in Section 2.05, convert on such date into term loans (the “Term Loans”)
to the Borrower.  The Term Loans may
from time to time be (a) Eurodollar Loans, (b) ABR Loans, or (c) a combination
thereof, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent
in accordance with Sections 2.05 and 2.08.

 

SECTION 2.05.  Procedure for
Term Borrowing.  To request
the conversion of the Revolving Credit Loans to Term Loans as contemplated in
Section 2.04, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
request by telephone prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, (a) three (3)
Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, if all or any
part of the Term Loans are to be initially Eurodollar Borrowing, or (b) one (1)
Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, otherwise.  Such telephonic Term Borrowing Request shall
be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to
the Administrative Agent of a written Term Borrowing Request in a form approved
by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.  Each such telephonic and written Term Borrowing
Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section
2.02:

 

18

 

(i)            the aggregate amount
of the requested conversion;

 

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

 

(iii)          whether after giving
effect to such conversion, the outstanding Term Loans are to consist of an ABR
Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing, or a combination thereof; and

 

(iv)          in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto,
which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest
Period”.

 

If no election as to the Type of Term Loans
is specified, then the requested Term Loans shall be an ABR Borrowing.  If no Interest Period is specified with
respect to any requested Eurodollar Term Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be
deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration.  Promptly following receipt of a Term
Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent
shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such
Lender’s Loan converted as part of the requested Borrowing.  The aggregate principal amount of the Term
Loans shall be equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans
then outstanding and the Term Loans shall be made by conversion of such
Revolving Loans, without any payments being made by the Lenders.

 

SECTION 2.06.  Competitive Bid
Procedure.  (a)   Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, from time to time during the Availability Period the Borrower may
request Competitive Bids and may (but shall not have any obligation to) accept
Competitive Bids and borrow Competitive Loans; provided that the sum of
the total Revolving Credit Exposures plus the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Competitive Loans at any time shall not exceed the total
Commitments.  To request Competitive
Bids, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by
telephone, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, four (4) Business Days before the date of the proposed
Borrowing and, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 10:00
a.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of the proposed
Borrowing; provided that the Borrower may submit up to (but not more
than) two (2) Competitive Bid Requests on the same day, but a Competitive Bid
Request shall not be made within five (5) Business Days after the date of any
previous Competitive Bid Request, unless any and all such previous Competitive
Bid Requests shall have been withdrawn or all Competitive Bids received in
response thereto rejected.  Each such
telephonic Competitive Bid Request shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery
or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Competitive Bid Request in
a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.  Each such telephonic and written Competitive
Bid Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section
2.02:

of the requested Borrowing;

 

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

 

(iii)          whether such Borrowing
is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or a Fixed Rate Borrowing;

 

19

 

(iv)          the Interest Period to
be applicable to such Borrowing, which shall be a period contemplated by the
definition of the term “Interest Period”;

 

(v)           the location and number
of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall
comply with the requirements of Section 2.07; and

 

(vi)          the maturity date of
such Borrowing, which shall not be less than seven (7) or more than 364 days
from the date of such Borrowing and shall not be later than the Revolving Credit
Termination Date.

 

Promptly following receipt of a Competitive
Bid Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Lenders of the details thereof by telecopy, inviting the Lenders to
submit Competitive Bids.

 

(b)  Each Lender may (but shall not have any
obligation to) make one (1) or more Competitive Bids to the Borrower in
response to a Competitive Bid Request. 
Each Competitive Bid by a Lender must be substantially in the form of
Exhibit D and must be received by the Administrative Agent by telecopy, in the
case of a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York
City time, three (3) Business Days before the proposed date of such Competitive
Borrowing, and in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 9:30 a.m.,
New York City time, on the proposed date of such Competitive Borrowing.  Competitive Bids that do not conform
substantially to the form of Exhibit D may be rejected by the Administrative Agent,
and the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Lender as promptly as
practicable.  Each Competitive Bid shall
specify (i) the principal amount (which shall be a minimum of $5,000,000 and an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 and which may equal the entire principal amount
of the Competitive Borrowing requested by the Borrower) of the Competitive Loan
or Loans that the Lender is willing to make, (ii) the Competitive Bid Rate or
Rates at which the Lender is prepared to make such Loan or Loans (expressed as
a percentage rate per annum in the form of a decimal to no more than four
decimal places), and (iii) the Interest Period applicable to each such Loan and
the last day thereof.

 

(c)  The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower by telecopy of the Competitive Bid Rate and the principal
amount specified in each Competitive Bid and the identity of the Lender that
shall have made such Competitive Bid.

 

(d)  Subject only to the provisions of this
paragraph, the Borrower may accept or reject any Competitive Bid.  The Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent by telephone, confirmed by telecopy in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent, whether and to what extent it has decided to accept or
reject each Competitive Bid, in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing,
not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before
the date of the proposed Competitive Borrowing, and in the case of a Fixed Rate
Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed date
of the Competitive Borrowing; provided that (i) the failure of the
Borrower to give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of each
Competitive Bid, (ii) the Borrower shall not accept a Competitive Bid made at a
particular Competitive Bid Rate if the Borrower rejects a Competitive Bid made
at a lower Competitive Bid Rate, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Competitive
Bids accepted by the Borrower shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the
requested Competitive

 

20

 

Borrowing specified in the related
Competitive Bid Request, (iv) to the extent necessary to comply with clause
(iii) above, the Borrower may accept Competitive Bids at the same Competitive
Bid Rate in part, which acceptance, in the case of multiple Competitive Bids at
such Competitive Bid Rate, shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount
of each such Competitive Bid, and (v) except pursuant to clause (iv) above, no
Competitive Bid shall be accepted for a Competitive Loan unless such
Competitive Loan is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and an integral
multiple of $1,000,000; provided  further that if a Competitive
Loan must be in an amount less than $5,000,000 because of the provisions of
clause (iv) above, such Competitive Loan may be for a minimum of $1,000,000 or
any integral multiple thereof, and in calculating the pro rata allocation of
acceptances of portions of multiple Competitive Bids at a particular
Competitive Bid Rate pursuant to clause (iv) the amounts shall be rounded to
integral multiples of $1,000,000 in a manner determined by the Borrower.  A notice given by the Borrower pursuant to
this paragraph shall be irrevocable.

 

(e)  The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each bidding Lender by telecopy whether or not its Competitive Bid has
been accepted (and, if so, the amount and Competitive Bid Rate so accepted),
and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its
Competitive Bid has been accepted.

 

(f)  If the Administrative Agent shall elect to
submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such
Competitive Bid directly to the Borrower at least one quarter of an hour
earlier than the time by which the other Lenders are required to submit their
Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section.

 

SECTION 2.07.  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.  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 Revolving Borrowing Request, Term Borrowing Request or
Competitive Bid Request.

 

(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 Federal Funds Effective Rate, or (ii) in the case of the
Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans.  If such Lender pays such

 

21

 

amount to the Administrative Agent, then such
amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

 

SECTION 2.08.  Interest
Elections.  (a)   Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be
of the Type specified in the applicable Revolving Borrowing Request and, in the
case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period
as specified in such Revolving 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 Revolving
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 Competitive 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 Revolving 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 in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the
Borrower.

 

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

 

(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”.

 

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.

 

22

 

(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 Revolving 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 continued as a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing with an
Interest Period of one month. 
Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) 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 (A) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be
converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, (B) no outstanding Term
Borrowing may be converted to a Eurodollar Borrowing, and (C) unless repaid, each
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the
end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (ii) no Revolving Loan or
Term Loan may be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing after
the date that is one month or 30 days, respectively, prior to the Revolving
Credit Termination Date or the Termination Date, as the case may be.

 

SECTION 2.09.  Termination and
Reduction of Commitments.  (a)   Unless previously terminated, the
Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 

(b)  The Borrower may at any time terminate, or
from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each
reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple
of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000, and (ii) the Borrower shall not
terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent
prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the
Revolving Credit Exposures plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Competitive Loans would exceed the total 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 (3) 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 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 on or prior to the specified
effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be
permanent.  Termination of the Commitments
shall also terminate the obligation of the Lenders to make the Term Loans.  Each reduction of the Commitments shall be
made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

 

SECTION 2.10.  Repayment of
Loans; Evidence of Debt.  (a)   The Borrower hereby unconditionally
promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each

 

23

 

Lender (i) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on
the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the
Revolving Loans become due and payable pursuant to Article VII), (ii) the
principal amount of the Term Loan of such Lender on the Termination Date (or
the then unpaid principal amount of such Term Loan, on the date that the Term
Loans become due and payable pursuant to Article VII), and (iii) the then
unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Loan on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or such earlier date on which the Competitive
Loans become due and payable pursuant to Article VII).

 

(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 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 2.11.  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 prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section; provided
that the Borrower shall not have the right to prepay any Competitive Loan without
the prior consent of the Lender thereof.

 

(b)  The Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in
the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than
11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of
prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing,
not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the
date of prepayment.  Each such notice
shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and

 

24

 

the principal amount of each Borrowing or
portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment
is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the
Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may
be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section
2.09.  Promptly following receipt of any
such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall
advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. 
Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount
that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of
the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. 
Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the
Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. 
Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent
required by Section 2.13.  Amounts
prepaid on account of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

 

SECTION 2.12.  Fees.  (a)  
Prior to conversion of Revolving Loans into Term Loans pursuant to
Section 2.04, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable
Rate on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or
unused), during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding
the date on which such Commitment terminates; provided that, if such
Lender continues to have any outstanding Loans after its Commitment terminates
and such Loans are not Term Loans that have been converted from Revolving Loans
pursuant to Section 2.04, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue on
the daily amount of such Lender’s outstanding Loans from and including the date
on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such
Lender ceases to have any outstanding Loans. 
Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of
March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the
Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the
date hereof; provided that any facility fees accruing after the date on
which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.  All facility 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).

 

(b)  Prior to conversion of Revolving Loans into
Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.04, the Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a utilization fee equal to
(i) 0.125% per annum for each day on which the Commitment Utilization
Percentage exceeds 25%, which fee shall accrue on the daily amount of such
Lender’s outstanding Loans for each Excess Utilization Day during the period
from and including the day on which the Commitment Utilization Percentage
exceeds 25% to but excluding the day on which the Commitment Utilization
Percentage no longer exceeds 25%, and (ii) 0.250% per annum for each day on
which the Commitment Utilization Percentage exceeds 50%, which fee shall accrue
on the daily amount of such Lender’s outstanding Loans for each Excess
Utilization Day during the period from and including the day on which the
Commitment Utilization Percentage exceeds 50% to but excluding the day on which
the Commitment Utilization Percentage no longer exceeds 50%.  Accrued utilization fees shall be payable in
arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and
on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such
date to occur after the date hereof; provided that any utilization fees
accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on
demand.  All utilization 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).

 

25

 

(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 for
distribution, in the case of facility fees, to the Lenders.  Fees paid shall not be refundable under any
circumstances.

 

SECTION 2.13.  Interest.  (a)  
The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

 

(b)  The Loans comprising each Eurodollar
Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of a
Eurodollar Loan, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for
such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate, or (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar
Competitive Loan, the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such
Borrowing plus (or minus, as applicable) the Margin applicable to such Loan.

 

(c)  Each Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest at
a rate per annum equal to the Fixed Rate applicable to such Loan.

 

(d)  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 above,
or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR
Loans as provided above.

 

(e)  Accrued interest on each Loan shall be
payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided
that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) 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
Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or
prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, (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, and (iv) all accrued interest
shall be payable upon termination of the Commitments.

 

(f)  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 the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted
LIBO Rate or 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:

 

26

 

(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 or the LIBO Rate, as applicable,
for such Interest Period; or

 

(b)  
the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or, in the
case of a Eurodollar Competitive Loan, the Lender that is required to make such
Loan) that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such
Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders
(or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) 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, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion
of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a
Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, (ii) if any Revolving Borrowing
Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made
as an ABR Borrowing, and (iii) any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar
Competitive Borrowing shall be ineffective; provided that (A) if the
circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then
requests by the Borrower for Eurodollar Competitive Borrowings may be made to
Lenders that are not affected thereby, and (B) if the circumstances giving rise
to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of
Borrowings shall be permitted.

 

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 reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

 

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

 

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

 

(b)  If any Lender determines that any Change in
Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s
holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made
hereunder, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such

 

27

 

Lender’s policies and the policies of such
Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to
time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such
reduction suffered.

 

(c)  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the
amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company,
as the case may be, as specified in 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 the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days
after receipt thereof.

 

(d)  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender
to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver
of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section
for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six (6) months prior
to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to
claim compensation therefor; provided  further that, if the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period
of retroactive effect thereof.

 

(e)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section, a Lender shall not be entitled to compensation pursuant to this
Section in respect of any Competitive Loan if the Change in Law that would
otherwise entitle it to such compensation shall have been publicly announced
prior to submission of the Competitive Bid pursuant to which such Loan was
made.

 

SECTION 2.16.  Break Funding
Payments.  In the event of
(a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate 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 is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.11(b) and is
revoked in accordance herewith), (d) the failure to borrow any Competitive Loan
after accepting the Competitive Bid to make such Loan, or (e) the assignment of
any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate
each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.  In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss
to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an
amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the
amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the
principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment,
conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest
Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or
continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from
such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on
such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (in the case of a Eurodollar
Loan) for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such
Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were
to invest such principal amount for such period at

 

28

 

the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of
such Lender) for dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market at
the commencement of such period.  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 ten (10) days after receipt
thereof.

 

SECTION 2.17.  Taxes.  (a)  
Any and all payments by or an account of any obligation of the Borrower
hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be
required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments,
then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may
be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii)
the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

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

 

(c)  The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent and each Lender within ten (10) days after written demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

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

 

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

 

29

 

SECTION 2.18.  Payments
Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.  (a)  
The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder
(whether of principal, interest, fees, or under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or
otherwise) 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, c/o The Loan and Agency Services
Group at the address set forth in Section 9.01, except that payments pursuant
to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons
entitled thereto.  The Administrative
Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any
other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt
thereof.  If any payment hereunder shall
be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment
accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such
extension.  All payments hereunder shall
be made in dollars.

 

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

 

(c)  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right
of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any
principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or Term Loans resulting
in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate
amount of its Revolving Loans or Term 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 or Term 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 or Term Loans; provided that (i) if any
such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving
rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration
for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any
assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall
apply).  The Borrower consents to the
foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable
law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

 

(d)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due
to the Administrative Agent for the

 

30

 

account of the Lenders hereunder that the
Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount
due.  In such event, if the Borrower has
not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to
repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed
to such Lender 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 Federal Funds Effective Rate.

 

(e)  If any Lender shall fail to make any payment
required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(b) or 2.18(d), then the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under
such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

 

SECTION 2.19.  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 (other than any outstanding Competitive Loans held by it) to an
assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the
Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall
have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its
Loans (other than Competitive Loans), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees
and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent
of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower
(in the case of all other amounts), and (iii) in the case of any such
assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or
payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will
result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.  A Lender shall not be required to make any
such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by
such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 

31

 

SECTION 2.20.  New Lenders;
Commitment Increases.  (a)   With the consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (which, in the case of the Administrative Agent, shall not
be unreasonably withheld), (i) one or more additional banks or other financial
institutions may become a party to this Agreement by executing a supplement
hereto, in form and substance satisfactory to such bank or other financial
institution, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, whereupon such bank or
other financial institution (a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender for all
purposes hereof and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall
be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, and Schedule 2.01
hereto shall be deemed to be amended to add the name, address and Commitment of
such New Lender, and (ii) any Lender may increase the amount of its Commitment
by executing a supplement hereto, in form and substance satisfactory to such
Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, whereupon such Lender shall
be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the
full amount of its Commitment as so increased, and Schedule 2.01 hereto shall
be deemed to be amended to reflect such increase in the Commitment of such
Lender.  In no event may the aggregate
Commitments be increased above $300,000,000 pursuant to any supplement
described in this Section 2.20(a).

 

(b)  If on the date upon which a bank or other
financial institution becomes a New Lender or upon which a Lender’s Commitment
is changed pursuant to Section 2.20(a), any Revolving Loans are then
outstanding, the Borrower shall borrow Revolving Loans from such Lender in such
amount and with such Interest Period such that, after giving effect thereto,
the quotient of (x) the Revolving Loan of such Lender of each Type and, in the
case of Eurodollar Loans, with each Interest Period and (y) such Lender’s Commitment
is equal to the corresponding comparable quotient of each other Lender.  Any Eurodollar Borrowing borrowed pursuant
to the preceding sentence shall bear interest at a rate equal to the respective
interest rates then applicable to the Eurodollar Revolving Loans of the other
Lenders or such other rate as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and such
Lender.

 

ARTICLE III

 

Representations and Warranties

 

The Borrower represents and warrants to the
Lenders that:

 

SECTION 3.01.  Organization;
Powers.  Each of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power
and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure
to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in
good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

 

SECTION 3.02.  Authorization;
Enforceability.  The
Transactions are within the Borrower’s corporate powers and have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder
action.  This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,

 

32

 

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 consent or approval of, registration or
filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as
have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) will not
violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other
organizational documents of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any
order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a
default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right
thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien
on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

SECTION 3.04.  Financial Condition; No Material Adverse
Effect.  (a)   The Borrower has heretofore furnished to
the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income,
stockholders equity and cash flows (i) as of and for the fiscal years ended
2002 and 2003, reported on by KPMG LLP, independent registered public
accounting firm, and (ii) as of and for the fiscal quarters and the portion of
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, certified by its
principal financial officer.  Such
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance
with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes
in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above.  The Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not
have any material Guarantees, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes,
or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including
any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other
obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected or disclosed in
the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph.

 

(b)  Since December 31, 2003, there has been no
event, development or circumstance that has had or could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

SECTION 3.05.  Properties.  (a)  
Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid
leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its
business, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted
by Section 6.03.

 

(b)  Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents
and other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof
by the Borrower and its 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.

 

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 the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an
adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate,

 

33

 

to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed
Matters), or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.

 

(b)  Except for the Disclosed Matters and except
with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (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.

 

(c)  Since the date of this Agreement, there has
been no change in the status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in
the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

SECTION 3.07.  Compliance with
Laws and Agreements.  Each of
the Borrower and its 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 (including any material
investment advisory or management agreements) binding upon it or its property,
except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

SECTION 3.08.  Investment and
Holding Company Status.  (a)   Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is (i) an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an
“investment company”, each as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the
Investment Company Act of 1940, or (ii) a “holding company” as defined in, or
subject to regulation under, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.  Except for net capital and other
requirements imposed on registered broker-dealers, neither the Borrower nor any
of its Subsidiaries is subject to any regulation under any Requirement of Law
(other than Regulation X of the Board) that limits its ability to incur
Indebtedness.

 

(b)  The Borrower and each Subsidiary of the
Borrower which is engaged in investment advisory or investment management
activities is, and at all times will be, duly registered as an investment
adviser as and to the extent required under the Investment Advisers Act of
1940, as amended; and each Subsidiary of the Borrower which is engaged in
broker-dealer business is, and at all times will be, duly registered as a
broker-dealer as and to the extent required under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and, as and to the extent required, is, and at all times will
be, a member in good standing of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc.

 

SECTION 3.09.  Taxes.  Each of the Borrower and its
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) Taxes that are being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such
Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves, or (b)
to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

34

 

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 occur, could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  The present value of all accumulated benefit
obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used 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 by more
than $5,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the
present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans
(based on the assumptions used 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 by more than $10,000,000
the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.

 

SECTION 3.11.  Disclosure.  The Borrower has disclosed to the
Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to
which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to
it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.  None of
the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished
by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (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, the Borrower represents only that such information was
prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the
time.

 

SECTION 3.12.  No Default.  Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual
Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.  No Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing.

(g)  any event or condition
occurs that results in any Material Indebtedness becoming due prior to its
scheduled maturity or that enables or permits (with or without the giving of
notice, the lapse of time or both) the holder or holders of any Material
Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause any
Material Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase,
redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity; provided
that this clause (g) shall not apply to secured Indebtedness that becomes due
as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets
securing such Indebtedness;

 

(h)  an involuntary proceeding
shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed seeking (i)
liquidation, reorganization or other relief in respect of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or its debts, or of a substantial part of its assets, under any  Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, or (ii) the
appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or
similar official for the Borrower or any Subsidiary or for a substantial part
of its assets, and, in any such case, such proceeding or petition shall continue
undismissed for 60 days or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the
foregoing shall be entered;

 

(i)  the Borrower or any
Subsidiary shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition
seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any Federal, state or
foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in
effect, (ii) consent to the institution of, or fail to contest in a timely and

occurred that, in the opinion of the Required Lenders, when taken together with
all other ERISA Events that have occurred, could reasonably be expected to

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/or (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 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
obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due
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

 

Except as
provided below, each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the
Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to
take such actions

 

47

 

on its behalf and to exercise such powers as
are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with
such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

 

The bank
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and
powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any
kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof
as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

 

The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall
not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether
a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall
not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing
by the Required Lenders, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be
liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving
as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable
for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of
the Required Lenders or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  The Administrative Agent
shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written
notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a
Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any
duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation
made by any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered by any other
Person hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance
of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth
herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness (other than its own
due execution) or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement,
instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly
required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

 

The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing reasonably believed by it to
be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon
any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made
by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon.  The Administrative Agent may
consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such
counsel, accountants or experts.

 

The
Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights
and powers through Related Parties of the Administrative Agent.  The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs shall apply to the Related Parties of the Administrative

 

48

 

Agent, and shall apply to their 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 by notifying
the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any
such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation
with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. 
If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and
shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New
York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. 
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder
by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and
the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder.  The fees payable
by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and
such successor.  After the Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03
shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

 

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

 

ARTICLE IX

any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be
deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

 

SECTION 9.02.  Waivers; Amendments.  (a)  
No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power.  The rights and remedies
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are
not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement
or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section,
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the purpose for which given. 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan
shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such
Default at the time.

 

(b) 
Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended
or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided
that no such agreement shall (i) increase 
the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender,
(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest
thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of
each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of
the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable
hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or
postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the
written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(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) increase the aggregate
Commitments above $300,000,000, without the written consent of each Lender, or
(vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of
“Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or
percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder
or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the  written consent of each Lender; provided
further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect
the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent.

 

SECTION 9.03.  Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.  (a)  
The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent

 

50

 

and its
Affiliates in amounts previously agreed to in writing and the reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in
connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein,
the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or
protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its
rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made, including in
connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof.

 

(b) 
The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender,
and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being
called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from,
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and related expenses,
including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance
by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the
consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby,
(ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged
presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or
operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental
Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or
(iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other
theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee.

 

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

 

(d)  To
the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability,
for 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 the use of the proceeds thereof.

 

(e) 
All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than five
(5) days after written demand therefor.

 

51

 

SECTION 9.04.  Successors and Assigns.  (a)  
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without
such consent shall be null and void). 
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement.

 

(b) 
Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i)
except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender,
each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent must give their prior written
consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
(ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment, and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an
assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with
respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this
purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or principal outstanding balance
of the Term Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than
$5,000,000 or, in the case of any assignment of a Term Loan, $1,000,000, unless
each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iii) each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of
all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with
respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (iii)
shall not apply to rights in respect of outstanding Competitive Loans, (iv) the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation
fee of $3,500, and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; provided
further that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this
paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default under clause (h) or (i)
of Article VII has occurred and is continuing. 
Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section,
from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance,
the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.15, 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 paragraph shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section.

 

52

 

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

 

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

 

(e) 
Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities
(a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain
the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that
such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described
in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (f) 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.

 

(f)  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.

 

(g) 
Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such
Lender, including without limitation (i) any such pledge or assignment to a
Federal Reserve Bank, and (ii) in the case of

 

53

 

any Lender that is a Fund, any pledge or
assignment of all or any portion of such Lender’s rights under this Agreement
to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender as
security for such obligations or securities, or to any trustee for, or any
other representative of such holders and this Section shall not apply to any
such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such
pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of
its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a
party hereto.

 

SECTION 9.05.  Survival.  All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the
certificates or other instruments 
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be
considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any
Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its
behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have
had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty
at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force
and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or
any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and
unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Sections 2.15, 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 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 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 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 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 indebtedness at any time owing by such

 

54

 

Lender to or
for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the
obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held
by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any
demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be
unmatured.  The rights of each Lender
under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

 

SECTION 9.09.  Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to
Service of Process.  (a)   This Agreement and the rights and
obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and
interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience
of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the
construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this
Agreement.  

 

SECTION 9.12.  Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as
defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its
Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants,
legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of
any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any
assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant
in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent
of the Borrower, or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, (ii) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis
from a source other than the Borrower, or (iii) to the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization or nationally
recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s
investment portfolio in connection with rating issued with respect to such
Lender.  For the purposes of this
Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower
relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that
is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential
basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of
information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information
is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 

SECTION 9.13.  Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together
with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such
Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for,
charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in
accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such
Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be
limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges
that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a
result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the
interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or
periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such
cumulated amount, together 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 which is subject to Section 326 of
the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law
October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), hereby notifies the Borrower that,
pursuant to the requirements of the 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 Act.

For purposes of determining the Applicable Margins or the Facility Fee
Rates, (i) in the event of a “split rating” (i.e., if the Moody’s Rating
applicable to the Borrower at any time appears in the chart above in a
different column from that in which the S&P Rating then applicable to the
Borrower appears), the Applicable Margins and the Facility Fee Rates will be
based on the column which includes the higher rating (unless the higher rating
is more than one rating level higher than the lower rating, in which case the
pricing shall be that applicable to the rating level which is one rating level
lower than the higher rating level), (ii) if Moody’s or S&P shall not have
in effect a rating (other than because such rating agency shall no longer be in
the business of rating corporate debt obligations), then such rating agency
will be deemed to have established a rating one rating level lower than the
rating of either Moody’s or S&P, as the case may be, that remains in
effect, and (iii) the Applicable Margins and the Facility Fee Rates shall be
subject to adjustment (upwards or downwards, as appropriate), effective as of
the date on which S&P or Moody’s announces a rating change which results in
a change in the Applicable Margins and the Facility Fee Rates.

Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 8,
2004 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”), among Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. (the “Borrower”),
the Lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as administrative agent for
the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). Unless
otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein
shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement. 

 

The Assignor identified on Schedule l hereto (the “Assignor”)
and the Assignee identified on Schedule l hereto (the “Assignee”)
agree as follows: 

 

i.              The Assignor hereby
irrevocably sells and assigns to the Assignee without recourse to the Assignor,
and the Assignee hereby irrevocably purchases and assumes from the Assignor
without recourse to the Assignor, as of the Effective Date (as defined below),
the interest described in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Assigned Interest”)
in and to the Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement with
respect to those credit facilities contained in the Credit Agreement as are set
forth on Schedule 1 hereto (individually, an “Assigned Facility”;
collectively, the “Assigned Facilities”), in a principal amount for each
Assigned Facility as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto. 

 

ii.             The Assignor (a)
makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect
to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with
the Credit Agreement or with respect to the execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Credit Agreement or
any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto, other than that
the Assignor has not created any adverse claim upon the interest being assigned
by it hereunder and that such interest is free and clear of any such adverse
claim; (b) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility
with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower, any of its
Subsidiaries or any other obligor or the performance or observance by the
Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any other obligor of any of their
respective obligations under the Credit Agreement or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (c) attaches any promissory
notes held by it evidencing the Assigned Facilities and (i) requests that the
Administrative Agent, upon request by the Assignee, exchange the attached
promissory notes for a new promissory note or notes payable to

 

the Assignor, in each case in amounts which
reflect the assignment being made hereby (and after giving effect to any other

iii.            The Assignee (a) represents and warrants
that it is legally authorized to enter into this Assignment and Acceptance; (b)

Acceptance; (c) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon
the Assignor, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and  based on such documents and information as
it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit
decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (d) appoints
and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its
behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement or
any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such
powers as are incidental thereto; and (e) agrees that it will be bound by the
provisions of the Credit Agreement and will perform in accordance with its
terms all the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are
required to be performed by it as a Lender including, if it is organized under
the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, its obligation pursuant
to subsection 2.17(e) of the Credit Agreement.

 

iv.            The effective date of this Assignment and
Acceptance shall be the Effective Date of Assignment described in Schedule 1
hereto (the “Effective Date”). 
Following the execution of this Assignment and Acceptance, it will be
delivered to the Administrative Agent for acceptance by it and recording by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement, effective as of the
Effective Date (which shall not, unless otherwise agreed to by the
Administrative Agent, be earlier than five Business Days after the date of such
acceptance and recording by the Administrative Agent).

in respect of the Assigned Interest (including payments of principal, interest,
fees and other amounts) to the Assignor for amounts which have accrued to the
Effective Date and to the Assignee for amounts which have accrued subsequent to

the Assignee shall make all appropriate adjustments in payments by the
Administrative Agent for periods prior to the Effective Date or with respect to
the making of this assignment directly between themselves.

Re:          Credit
Agreement dated as of October 8, 2004 (the “Credit Agreement”) among
Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. (the “Company”), the lending
institutions identified in the Credit Agreement (the “Lenders”) and the
Agent

 

Ladies and
Gentlemen:

 

I am General Counsel of Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. (the “Company”).  As General Counsel, I have been requested to
provide you my opinion as to certain matters in connection with  the preparation, execution and delivery of
the Credit Agreement and the promissory notes (the “Notes”) delivered to
the Lenders thereunder on the date hereof. 
Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit
Agreement.  This opinion is furnished to
you pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of the Credit Agreement.

 

In connection with this opinion, I have examined the Credit Agreement,
signed by the Company and by the Agent and certain of the Lenders.  I also have examined the originals, or
duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements,
instruments and other documents and have made such other investigations as I
have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions expressed
herein.  As to questions of fact
material to this opinion, I have relied upon certificates of public officials
and of officers and representatives of the Company.  In addition, I have examined, and have relied as to matters of
fact upon, the representations made in the Credit Agreement.

 

In rendering the opinions set forth below, I have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to
original documents of all documents submitted to me as duplicates or certified
or conformed copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter
documents.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the
qualifications and limitations set forth herein, I am of the opinion that:

 

 

1.             The Company (a) has
been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing as a
corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, (b) has the corporate
power and authority to execute and deliver the Credit Agreement and the Notes
and to borrow, and perform its obligations thereunder and (c) has duly
authorized, executed and delivered the Credit Agreement and the Notes.

 

2.             The execution and
delivery by the Company of the Credit Agreement and the Notes, its borrowings
in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and performance of its
payment obligations thereunder (a) will not result in any violation of (1) the
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated
Bylaws of the Company, (2) assuming that proceeds of borrowings will be used in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, any Federal or Kansas
statute or the Delaware General Corporation Law or any rule or regulation
issued pursuant to any Kansas or Federal statute or the Delaware General
Corporation Law or any order  known to
us issued by any court or governmental agency or body and (b) will not breach
or result  in a default under or result
in the creation of any lien upon, or security interest in, the Company’s  properties pursuant to the terms of any
agreement or instrument.

 

3.             No consent, approval,
authorization, order, filing, registration or qualification of or with any
Federal or Kansas governmental agency or body or any Delaware governmental
agency or body acting pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law is
required for the execution and delivery by the Company of the Credit Agreement
and the Notes, the borrowings by the Company in accordance with the terms of
the Credit Agreement or the performance by the Company of its payment
obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Notes.

 

4.             Assuming that the
Credit Agreement is a valid and legally binding obligation of each of the
Lenders parties thereto, the Credit Agreement and the Notes constitutes the
valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the
Company in accordance with their respective terms.

 

5.             To our knowledge
there is no action, suit or proceeding before or by any court, arbitrator or
governmental agency, body or official, now pending, to which the Company is a
party or to which the business, assets or property of the Company is subject
and no such action, suit or proceeding is threatened to which the Company or
the business, assets or property of the Company would be subject that in either
case questions the validity of the Credit Agreement.

 

My opinion in paragraph 4 above is subject to (i) the effects of
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and
other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii)
general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or
at law) and (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

 

My opinion is limited to applicable laws of the United States of
America and the applicable laws of the states thereof, as appropriate, and is
based on the facts in existence and the laws in effect on the date hereof.  In rendering this opinion, note that I am a
member of the bar of

 

 

the States of
Kansas and Missouri only.  My opinion
with respect to the law of the State of Delaware is limited to the Delaware
General Corporation Law.

 

This opinion letter is being delivered to you and your successors and
assigns solely for your use in connection with the Credit Agreement and is not
to be relied on, quoted or used, in whole or in part, by any other party or for
any other purpose or transaction except with my prior written consent.  The opinions contained herein are as of the
date of this letter, and no obligation or responsibility is undertaken to
update or supplement this opinion in response to or to make you aware of any
subsequent changes in events or information affecting opinions contained
herein.

 

	
   

  	
  Very truly yours,

SECOND
AMENDMENT TO CONSOLIDATION AGREEMENT

 

This is the Second Amendment to Consolidation
Agreement which was dated as of May 13, 1993 (“Consolidation Agreement”) by and
among Clayton W. Williams, Jr. (“Williams”), Clayton Williams Energy, LLC
(“CWEL”), Clayton Williams Partnership, Ltd. (“Williams Partnership”),
Prospectors Gas Ltd. (“Prospectors”), Clajon Holding Corporation (“CHC”),
Clajon Industrial Gas, Inc. (“Clajon Industrial”), Williams International, Inc.
(“Williams Int’l”), Warrior Gas Co. (“Warrior”) and Clayton Williams Energy,
Inc. (“CWEI”).

 

WHEREAS, since the execution of the
Consolidation Agreement, CWEL, Prospectors, Williams International, Inc. and
various other original parties have either been merged into CWEI or dissolved.

 

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed to
amend the Consolidation Agreement which amendment has been approved by the
Audit Committee of CWEI on March 24, 2004.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.  Future
Activities Relating to the Excluded Properties.  The provisions of paragraph 12(a) of the Consolidation Agreement
are hereby deleted and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

 

12(a)                      The Company hereby acknowledges
that following the Effective Date certain of the Williams Entities and Mr.
Williams will continue to own the properties and assets identified in Exhibit F
attached hereto (the “Excluded Properties”) and the Company will not have any
interest therein, except as provided in this Section 12.  The Williams Entities may conduct activities
following the Effective Date on that portion of the Excluded Properties which
consists of developed acreage currently producing oil and gas and undeveloped
acreage held by production (“Unrestricted Acreage”).  For purposes hereof, Unrestricted Acreage shall also include (w)
mineral interests underlying farms, ranches or other surface enterprises where
a mineral interest is acquired by virtue of the acquisition of the surface
estate, and in which the interest in the land was acquired, before or after the
Effective Date, primarily for a surface activity, (x) producing undivided
mineral interests or leasehold interests in land in which an undivided mineral
or leasehold interest is owned by Mr. Williams or a Williams Entity on the date
hereof, (y) minerals or leases acquired on lands in which Mr. Williams or a
Williams Entity had a leasehold interest and has existing liabilities with
respect to such lands to plug or re-plug abandoned wellbores and (z) minerals
or leases acquired after the Effective Date under land in which Mr. Williams or
a Williams Entity owns the

 

 

surface and the primary use is a surface
activity.  With respect to that portion
of the Excluded Properties which consists of undeveloped acreage not held by
production or undeveloped mineral interests (the “Restricted Acreage”), the
Williams Entities may conduct only such activities thereon as are permitted
under the terms of Section 12(b) hereof. 
In addition, the Williams Entities may sell or otherwise dispose of
their interests in the Restricted Acreage (the “Option Property”) only in
accordance with the terms of Section 12(c) hereof (provided, however, that
nothing contained in this Section 12 shall (i) prohibit the sale or other
disposition of any Option Property pursuant to any judicial order, legal
process, execution or attachment if such sale or other disposition is effected
without the consent or concurrence of the Williams Entities or (ii) prohibit
the sale of mineral interests solely in connection with a sale of the surface
estate with which such mineral interests are associated.)

 

2.                                       Ratification.  The parties hereto ratify and confirm the Consolidation Agreement
as amended herein.

 

Executed this 19th day of May to
be effective the 24th day of March, 2004.
