Ratio” shall mean, with respect to any Person for any period, the ratio

retires or extinguishes any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred under
any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently
repaid and has not been replaced) or issues or redeems Disqualified Stock or
Preferred Stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously
with the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is
made (the “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date”),
then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee,
redemption, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption
of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as if the same had occurred at the
beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

 

For purposes of making the computation
referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers,
consolidations and disposed operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP)
that have been made by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period
and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis
assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations
and disposed operations (and the change in any associated fixed charge
obligations and the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the
first day of the four-quarter reference period. 
If, since the beginning of such period, any Person that subsequently
became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Borrower or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have
made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or
disposed operation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition,
then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such
Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or disposed operation
had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

 

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a
responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower (and may include,
for the avoidance of doubt, cost savings and operating expense reductions
resulting from such Investment, acquisition, merger or consolidation which is
being given pro forma effect that have been or are expected to be
realized).  If any Indebtedness bears a
floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma
effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in
effect on the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date had been the
applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging
Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). 
Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at
an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting
officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized
Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. 
For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on
any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average
daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period except as set
forth in the first paragraph of this definition.  Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally
be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or 

 

22

 

similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered
rate or other rate shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually
chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower
may designate.  Any such pro forma
calculation may include adjustments appropriate to exclude from EBITDA the
results of Integrated Payment Systems Inc. and Integrated Payment Systems
Canada Inc.

SECTION 2.              Amount and Terms
of Credit

 

2.1.            Commitments.

 

(a)           Subject to and upon the terms and conditions
herein set forth, each Lender made a loan or loans (each, a “Senior  Subordinated
Interim Loan”) in a single draw on the Original Closing Date to the Borrower
in Dollars, which Senior Subordinated Interim Loans did not exceed for any such
Lender the Senior Subordinated Interim Loan Commitment of such Lender and in
the aggregate equaled $2,500,000,000.

 

Such Senior
Subordinated Interim Loans (i) shall be incurred and maintained (except as
provided in Sections 2.6 and 2.10) as LIBOR Loans, (ii) may
be repaid or prepaid in accordance with the provisions hereof, but once repaid
or prepaid, may not be reborrowed, (iii) shall not exceed for any such
Lender the Senior Subordinated Interim Loan Commitment of such Lender and (iv) 

 

52

 

shall not
exceed in the aggregate the Total Senior Subordinated Interim Loan
Commitment.  On the Maturity Date, the
Borrower shall repay all then unpaid Loans in full in Dollars.

 

(b)           Each Lender may at its option make any LIBOR
Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to
make such Loan, provided that (A) any exercise of such option shall
not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan and (B) in
exercising such option, such Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to
minimize any increased costs to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which
obligation of the Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking,
actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will
not be compensated hereunder or that it determines would be otherwise
disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which
compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.10
shall apply).

 

2.2.            Maximum Number of
Borrowings.  More than one Borrowing
may be incurred on any date, provided that at no time shall there be
outstanding more than 30 Borrowings of LIBOR Loans under this Agreement.

 

2.3.            Notice of Borrowing.

 

(a)           The Borrower gave the Administrative Agent
at the Administrative Agent’s Office on the Original Closing Date, the notice
of the Borrowing of the Senior Subordinated Interim Loans.  Such notice (a “Notice of
Borrowing”) specified (i) the aggregate principal amount of the
Senior Subordinated Interim Loans to be borrowed (the “Senior Subordinated Interim Loans Requested Amount”) (such Senior Subordinated Interim
Loans Requested Amount not to exceed in the aggregate the Total Senior
Subordinated Interim Loan Commitment), (ii) the date of the Borrowing
(which was the Original Closing
Date) and (iii) the Interest Period to be initially applicable
thereto.  The Administrative Agent
promptly gave each Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) of the Borrowing of Senior Subordinated Interim Loans, of
such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters covered by
the related Notice of Borrowing.

 

(b)           Without in any way limiting the obligation
of the Borrower to confirm in writing any notice it may give hereunder by
telephone, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written
confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed
by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of
the Borrower.

 

2.4.            Disbursement of
Funds.

 

(a)           No later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on the date specified in the Notice of Borrowing, each Lender made available
its pro rata portion, if any, of each Borrowing
made on the Original Closing Date in the manner provided below; provided
that such funds were made available at such earlier time as was agreed among
the Lenders, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent for the purpose of
consummating the Transactions.

 

(b)           Each Lender made available all amounts it
was to fund to the Borrower under the Borrowing for its applicable Commitments,
and in immediately available funds to the 

 

53

 

Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and the
Administrative Agent made available to the Borrower, by depositing to an
account designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent the aggregate of
the amounts so made available in Dollars. 
Unless the Administrative Agent had been notified by any Lender prior to
the date of the Borrowing that such Lender did not intend to make available to
the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing made on such date, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender made such amount available to
the Administrative Agent on the date of the Borrowing, and the Administrative
Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, (in its sole discretion and without
any obligation to do so) made available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount.  If such corresponding amount is
not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative
Agent made available such amount to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender.  If such Lender did not pay such corresponding
amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall
immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent in
Dollars.  The Administrative Agent shall
also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such
corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding
amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the
date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a
rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by
such Lender, the Overnight Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the
then-applicable rate of interest or fees, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8,
for the respective Loans.

 

(c)           Nothing in this Section 2.4
shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to, fulfill its commitments
hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any
Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood,
however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).

 

2.5.            Repayment of Loans;
Evidence of Debt.

 

(a)           The Borrower shall repay to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, on the Term Loan Maturity
Date, the then-outstanding Loans, in Dollars.

 

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

 

(c)           The Administrative Agent shall maintain the
Register pursuant to Section 13.6(b), and a subaccount for each Lender,
in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the
amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of each Loan made and the Interest
Period, if any, 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 from the Borrower and each Lender’s share
thereof.

 

54

 

(d)           The entries made in the Register and
accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of
this Section 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the
Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of
any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register
or subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner
affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the
Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

 

2.6.            Conversions and
Continuations.

 

(a)           Subject to the penultimate sentence of this clause
(a), (x) the Borrower shall have the option, subject to Section 2.10,
on any Business Day to convert all or a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 of
the outstanding principal amount of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of
another Type and (y) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business
Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans as LIBOR
Loans for an additional Interest Period, provided that (i) ABR
Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Loans if a Default or Event of Default is
in existence on the date of the conversion and the Administrative Agent has or
the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to
permit such conversion, (ii) LIBOR Loans may not be continued as LIBOR
Loans for an additional Interest Period if a Default or Event of Default is in
existence on the date of the proposed continuation and the Administrative Agent
has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not
to permit such continuation and (iii) Borrowings resulting from conversions
pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be limited in number as provided
in Section 2.2.  Each such
conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 1:00 p.m.
(New York City time) at least (i) three Business Days’ prior written
notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) in the case of a
continuation of or conversion to LIBOR Loans (other than in the case of a
notice delivered on the Original Closing
Date pursuant to clause (c), which shall be deemed to be effective on the Original Closing Date) or (ii) one
Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in
writing) in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans  (each, a “Notice of
Conversion or Continuation”) specifying the Loans to be so converted
or continued, the Type of Loans to be converted or continued into and, if such
Loans are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period
to be initially applicable thereto.  The
Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender notice as promptly as
practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of
its Loans.

 

(b)           If any Default or Event of Default is in
existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any LIBOR Loans
denominated in Dollars and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders
have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such
continuation, such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day
of the current Interest Period into ABR Loans. 
If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans,
the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto
as provided in clause (a), the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected
to convert such Borrowing of LIBOR Loans into a Borrowing of ABR Loans,
effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

 

55

 

(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the Borrower may deliver a Notice of Conversion or Continuation
pursuant to which the Borrower elects to irrevocably continue the outstanding
principal amount of any Loans subject to an interest rate Hedging Obligations
as LIBOR Loans for each Interest Period until the expiration of the term of
such applicable Hedging Obligations.

 

2.7.            Pro Rata Borrowings.  Each Borrowing of Senior Subordinated Interim
Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rata
on the basis of their then-applicable Senior Subordinated Interim
Commitments.  It is understood that (a) no
Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its
obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender severally but not
jointly shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it
hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its
commitments hereunder and (b) other than as expressly provided herein with
respect to a Defaulting Lender, failure by a Lender to perform any of its obligations
under any of the Loan Documents shall not release any Person from performance
of its obligation under any Loan Document.

 

2.8.            Interest.

 

(a)           The unpaid principal amount of each Senior
Subordinated Loan that is an ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the
Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise)
at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the
Applicable ABR Margin plus the ABR, in effect from time to time.

 

(b)           The unpaid principal amount of each Senior
Subordinated Loan that is a LIBOR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the
Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise)
at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the
Applicable LIBOR Margin plus the relevant LIBOR Rate.

 

(c)           If all or a portion of (i) the
principal amount of any Loan or (ii) any interest payable thereon shall
not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise),
such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum
that is (the “Default Rate”) (x) in the
case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus
2% or (y) in the case of any overdue interest, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the rate described in Section 2.8(a) plus
2% from the date of such non-payment to the date on which such amount is paid
in full (after as well as before judgment).

 

(d)           Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and
including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment
thereof and shall be payable in Dollars; provided that any Loan that is
repaid on the same date on which it is made shall bear interest for one
day.  Except as provided below, interest
shall be payable (i) in respect of each ABR Loan, quarterly in arrears on
the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (provided
that the first such payment shall be on December 31, 2007), (ii) in
respect of each LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable
thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on
each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such
Interest Period, (iii) in respect of each Loan, (A) on any
prepayment, (B) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (C) after
such maturity, on demand.

 

56

 

(e)           All computations of interest hereunder shall
be made in accordance with Section 5.5.

 

(f)            The Administrative Agent, upon determining
the interest rate for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, shall promptly notify the
Borrower and the Lenders thereof.  Each
such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and
conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

 

2.9.            Interest Periods.  At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making of,
or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans in accordance
with Sections 2.3(a) and 2.6(a), the Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in
writing) of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest
Period shall, at the option of the Borrower be a one, two, three or six month period.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained above:

 

(a)              the initial Interest
Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall commence on the date of such
Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans)
and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing
shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

 

(b)              if any Interest
Period relating to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans begins on the last Business Day
of a calendar month or begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding
day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest
Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of
such Interest Period;

 

(c)              if any Interest
Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such
Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided
that if any Interest Period in respect of a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire
on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no
further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on
the next preceding Business Day; and

 

(d)              the Borrower shall
not be entitled to elect any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loan if
such Interest Period would extend beyond the Maturity Date of such Loan.

 

2.10.          Increased Costs,
Illegality, Etc.

 

(a)           In the event that (x) in the case of clause
(i) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of clauses
(ii) and (iii) below, any Lender shall have reasonably
determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be
final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

 

57

 

  (i)          on any date for determining
the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period that (x) deposits in the principal
amounts and currencies of the Loans comprising such LIBOR Borrowing are not
generally available in the relevant market or (y) by reason of any changes
arising on or after the Original Closing
Date affecting the interbank LIBOR market, adequate and fair means do not exist
for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the
definition of LIBOR Rate; or

 

 (ii)          at any time, that such Lender shall incur
increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder
with respect to any LIBOR Loans (other than any increase or reduction
attributable to Taxes, described in paragraph (d) of this Section 2.10)
because of (x) any change since the Original
Closing Date in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation,
guideline or order (or in the interpretation or administration thereof and
including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation,
guideline or order), such as, for example, without limitation, a change in official
reserve requirements, and/or (y) other circumstances affecting the
interbank LIBOR market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

 

(iii)          at any time, that the making or continuance
of any LIBOR Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good
faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would
conflict with any such governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not
having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not
be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency
occurring after the Original Closing
Date that materially and adversely affects the interbank LIBOR market;

 

then, and in
any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause
(i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if
by telephone, confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative
Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall
promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders).  Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above,
LIBOR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative
Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise
to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the
Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no
longer exist), and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation
given by the Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans that have not yet been
incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause
(ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, promptly after
receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an
increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise
as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be
required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in
amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the
additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis
for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall,
absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all
parties hereto) and (z) in the case of subclause (iii) above,
the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in subclause (x) or
(y), as applicable, of Section 2.10(b) as promptly as
possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

 

58

 

(b)                                         At
any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or
(iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected
pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the
affected LIBOR Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such
Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly
in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender
pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if
the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’
notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each
such LIBOR Loan into an ABR Loan, provided that if more than one Lender
is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same
manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

 

(c)                                  If,
after the Original Closing Date,
any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy of any Lender or compliance by
any Lender or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy
occurring after the Original Closing
Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
such Lender’s or its parent’s or its Affiliate’s capital or assets as a consequence
of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that
which such Lender or its parent or its Affiliate could have achieved but for
such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s
policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, promptly
after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the
Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or its parent for such reduction, it being understood
and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation
as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or
directive to comply with, any law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Original Closing Date.  Each Lender, upon determining in good faith
that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c),
will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set
forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional
amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13,
release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of such notice.

 

(d)                                 It
is understood that this Section 2.10 shall not apply to (i) Taxes
indemnifiable under Section 5.4, (ii) net income taxes and
franchise and excise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on any
Agent or Lender or (iii) Taxes described under clauses (b) and
(c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes.

 

2.11                           Compensation.  If (a) any payment of principal of any
LIBOR Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than
on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan as a result of a
payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.10,
5.1, 5.2 or 13.7, as a result of acceleration of the
maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 11 or for any other
reason, (b) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn
Notice of Borrowing, (c) any ABR Loan is not converted into a LIBOR Loan
as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d) any
LIBOR Loan is not continued as a LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, as a result of
a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (e) any prepayment of
principal of any LIBOR Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment
pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, the Borrower shall, after
receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in
reasonable detail the basis for 

 

59

 

requesting
such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender
any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs
or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment,
failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any
loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred
by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan.

 

2.12         Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence
of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii),
2.10(b) or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if
requested by the Borrower use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy
considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any
Loans affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on
such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or
regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the
event giving rise to the operation of any such Section.  Nothing in this Section 2.12
shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of
any Lender provided in Section 2.10 or 5.4.

 

2.13.        Notice of Certain Costs.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10, 2.11
or 5.4 is given by any Lender more than 120 days after such Lender has knowledge
(or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to
the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional
amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to
compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4, as the
case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 121st day
prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower.

 

2.14         Permanent Refinancing.

 

(a)         On
the Interim Loan Conversion Date, all outstanding Senior Subordinated Interim
Loans shall be converted into term loans (each, a “Senior
Subordinated Term Loan”) having an aggregate principal amount equal
to the unpaid principal amount of such Senior Subordinated  Interim
Loans, in each case to the extent such Loans are not repaid in whole or in part
in cash or on or prior to such date.

 

(b)        (i) On
the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month (each, an “Exchange
Date”), or if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding
Business Day, on or after the Interim Loan Conversion Date, at the option of
the applicable Lender, the Senior Subordinated Term Loans may be exchanged in
whole or in part for one or more Senior Subordinated Notes having an aggregate
principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Senior
Subordinated Term Loans; provided, however, that the Borrower
shall not be required to issue Senior Subordinated Notes until the Borrower
shall have received requests to issue at least $150,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes and that the amount of Senior
Subordinated Term Loans exchanged for Senior Subordinated Notes must be in excess
of $1,000,000 in principal amount.

 

(ii)         Such Lender shall provide the Borrower prior
irrevocable written notice of such election (each such notice, an “Exchange Notice”), substantially in the form of Exhibit D,
at least five Business Days prior to the date of exchange.  The Exchange Notice shall specify 

 

60

 

the principal amount of Senior Subordinated
Term Loans to be exchanged and, subject to the terms of the Senior Subordinated
Refinancing Indenture, the name of the proposed registered holder and the
amount of each Senior Subordinated Note requested.  Senior Subordinated Term Loans exchanged for
Senior Subordinated Notes pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be
deemed repaid and canceled, and the Senior Subordinated Notes so issued shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the provisions of the Senior
Subordinated Refinancing Indenture.  The
Senior Subordinated Notes shall be issued in the form set forth in the Senior
Subordinated Refinancing Indenture.

 

(iii)        As more particularly
provided in the Senior Subordinated Refinancing Indenture, (A) Senior
Subordinated Notes issued pursuant to the Senior Subordinated Refinancing Indenture
shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Senior Subordinated Term Loans
(unless a Lender shall elect to have the interest rate fixed at the rate applicable
to Senior Subordinated Term Loans in effect on the date of such exchange if
necessary to effect an actual bona fide sale of Senior Subordinated Notes on
such date to a third party that is not an Affiliate of  such Lender), and (B) Senior
Subordinated Notes issued pursuant to the Senior Subordinated Refinancing Indenture
(I) shall mature on March 31, 2016 and (II) shall be redeemable
as set forth in the Senior Subordinated Refinancing Indenture and the
applicable form of Senior Subordinated Notes attached thereto.

 

(iv)       Not later than five
Business Days after the Exchange Date following delivery of any Exchange
Notice, the Borrower shall (A) deliver a written notice to the trustee under
the Senior Subordinated Refinancing Indenture (the “Trustee”), directing
such Trustee to authenticate and deliver Senior Subordinated Notes as specified
in the Exchange Notice and (B) use all commercially reasonable efforts to
effect delivery of such Senior Subordinated Notes to the requesting Lender.

 

(c)           The Borrower agrees that as a condition to
the effectiveness of the exchange of Senior Subordinated Term Loans for Senior
Subordinated Notes:

 

  (i)          The Borrower shall have
selected a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Lenders to act as
Trustee for the Senior Subordinated Notes.

 

 (ii)          The Borrower shall have issued the Senior
Subordinated Notes pursuant to the Senior Subordinated Refinancing Indenture
substantially in the applicable form set forth therein, and the Borrower and
each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered the Senior Subordinated Refinancing
Indenture.

 

(iii)          The Borrower and each Guarantor shall have
provided to the Administrative Agent copies of resolutions of its board of
directors approving the execution and delivery of the Senior Subordinated
Refinancing Indenture and, in the case of the Borrower, the issuance of the
Senior Subordinated Notes, together with a customary certificate of the
secretary of the Borrower or such Guarantor certifying such resolutions.

 

(iv)          The Borrower and each Guarantor shall have
executed and delivered the Senior Subordinated Refinancing Registration Rights
Agreement.

 

61

 

 (v)          The Borrower and each Guarantor shall have
provided to the Lenders copies of resolutions of its Board of Directors
approving the execution and delivery of the Senior Subordinated Refinancing
Registration Rights Agreement, together with a customary certificate of the
secretary of the Borrower or such Guarantor certifying such resolutions.

 

(d)           If the foregoing conditions set forth in Section 2.14(c) are
not satisfied on the Interim Loan Conversion Date, then the Lenders shall
retain all of their rights and remedies with respect to the Senior Subordinated
Term Loans pursuant to this Agreement until such conditions are satisfied and
the Senior Subordinated Term Loans are so exchanged for Senior Subordinated
Notes.  The Borrower agrees to satisfy
the conditions set forth in Section 2.14(c) no later than ten
Business Days after receipt of the first Exchange Notice.

 

(e)           Nothing in this Section 2.14
shall prevent or limit the ability of the Borrower from repaying or refinancing
the Loans in any other manner not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

 

SECTION 3.              [Reserved]

 

SECTION 4.              Fees; Commitments

 

4.1.            Administrative
Agent’s Fees.  The Borrower agrees to
pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent, solely for its own
account, an annual administrative fee equal to $100,000 per annum, payable annually in advance on
the Original Closing Date for
the twelve-month period following the Original
Closing Date and on each anniversary thereof until all Loans and all
Obligations with respect thereto have been paid in full.

 

4.2.            [Reserved].

 

4.3.            Mandatory
Termination of Commitments.  The
Senior Subordinated Interim Loan Commitments terminated at 5:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on the Original Closing
Date.

 

SECTION 5.              Payments

 

5.1.            Voluntary
Prepayments.  The Borrower shall have
the right to prepay Loans without premium or penalty, in whole or in part from
time to time on the following terms and conditions:  (a) the Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office written notice (or
telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to make such prepayment,
the amount of such prepayment and (in the case of LIBOR Loans) the specific
Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made, which notice shall be given by the
Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) (i) in the case
of LIBOR Loans, three Business Days prior to or (ii) in the case of ABR
Loans, one Business Day prior to, the date of such prepayment; (b) each partial
prepayment of (i) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall be in a minimum
amount of $5,000,000 and in multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) any
ABR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in multiples of
$100,000 in excess thereof, provided that no partial prepayment of LIBOR
Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall 

 

62

 

reduce the outstanding
LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than $5,000,000
and (c) any prepayment of LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1
on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto
shall be subject to compliance by the Borrower with the applicable provisions
of Section 2.11.  Each
prepayment in respect of any Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1
shall be applied to the Loans on a pro rata basis
based on the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding at such time.  At the Borrower’s election in connection with
any prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.1, such prepayment shall
not be applied to any Loan of a Defaulting Lender.

 

5.2.            Mandatory
Prepayments.

 

(a)           Loan Prepayments.  (i) Prior to Interim Loan Conversion
Date, on each occasion that a Prepayment Event occurs, the Borrower shall,
within three Business Days after its receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of a
Prepayment Event, prepay, in accordance with clause (c) below,
Loans with a principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such
Prepayment Event; provided that
the Borrower may, to the extent required by the Senior Secured Credit Agreement
or the Senior Unsecured Interim Loan Agreement, apply such Net Cash Proceeds to
prepay, repay or repurchase Indebtedness outstanding under the Senior Secured
Credit Agreement  or the Senior Unsecured
Interim Loan Agreement within three Business Days after receipt thereof, prior
to the application of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay Loans.

 

(ii)           At
any time on or after the Interim Loan Conversion Date, the provisions of Section 5.2(a)(i) shall
no longer be operative.

 

(b)           [Reserved].

 

(c)           Application to Repayment Amounts.  Subject
to Section 5.2(h), each prepayment of Senior Subordinated Interim
Loans required by Section 5.2(a)(i), the proceeds of which
are derived from the incurrence of Senior Subordinated Notes, shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Senior Subordinated Interim Loans.  Subject to Section 5.2(h), each
prepayment of Senior Subordinated Interim Loans required by Section 5.2(a)(i),
the proceeds of which are derived from any incurrence of Indebtedness
pursuant to Section 9.7(a), shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Senior Interim Loans and Senior Subordinated Interim Loans.  Subject
to Section 5.2(h), with respect to each such prepayment, the
Borrower will, not later than the date specified in Section 5.2(a) for
making such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice
(promptly confirmed in writing) requesting that the Administrative Agent
provide notice of such prepayment to each Lender.

 

(d)           Application to Loans.  With respect to each prepayment of Loans required
by Section 5.2(a) or required or permitted by Section 9.8(b),
the Borrower may, if applicable, designate the Types of Loans that are to be
prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made.  In the absence of a designation by the
Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent
shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion
with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

 

63

 

(e)           [Reserved].

 

(f)            LIBOR Interest Periods.  In lieu of making any payment pursuant to
this Section 5.2 or pursuant to Section 9.8(b) in
respect of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Borrower at its option may deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount
in Dollars equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loan to be prepaid and such LIBOR
Loan shall be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period therefor in the
required amount.  Such deposit shall be
held by the Administrative Agent in a corporate time deposit account
established on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
earning interest at the then-customary rate for accounts of such type.  Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral
for the LIBOR Loans to be so prepaid, provided that the Borrower may at
any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment
required pursuant to this Section 5.2.

 

(g)           [Reserved].

 

(h)           Rejection Right.  The Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Loans required to be made pursuant
to Section 5.2(a) at least three Business Days prior to the
date of such prepayment.  Each such
notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably
detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify
each Lender holding Loans of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice
and of such Lender’s pro rata share
of the prepayment.  Each Lender may
reject all (but not less than all) of its pro rata share
of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined
Proceeds”) of Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 5.2(a) by
providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”)
to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New
York time) one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice
from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment.  If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection
Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or
such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Loans to be
rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of
such mandatory prepayment of Loans.  Any
Declined Proceeds remaining thereafter shall be retained by the Borrower.

 

5.3.            Method and Place of
Payment.

 

(a)           Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrower,
without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative
Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto, not later than
2:00 p.m. (New York City time), in each case, on the date when due and
shall be made in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s
Office or at such other office as the Administrative Agent shall specify for
such purpose by notice to the Borrower, it being understood that written or
facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment
from the funds in the Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office
shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in
such account.  All repayments or
prepayments of any Loans (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) hereunder
shall be made in Dollars and all other payments under each Loan Document shall,
unless otherwise specified in such Loan Document, be made in Dollars.  The Administrative Agent

 

64

 

will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was
actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York
City time) or, otherwise, on the next Business Day) like funds relating to the
payment of principal or interest ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.

 

(b)           Any payments under this Agreement that are
made later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) may be deemed to have been
made on the next succeeding Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole
discretion.  Whenever any payment to be
made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day,
in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, the due date thereof shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal,
interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in
effect immediately prior to such extension.

 

5.4.            Net Payments.

 

(a)           Any and all payments made by or on behalf of
the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on
account of, any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if the Borrower, any
Guarantor or the Administrative Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements
of Law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the
sum payable by the Borrower or Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so
that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including
deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.4)
the applicable Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been
made, (ii) the Borrower, such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the
Borrower, such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall
timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental
Authority within the time allowed and in accordance with applicable
Requirements of Law.  Whenever any
Indemnified Taxes are payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor, as promptly as
possible thereafter, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall send to the Administrative
Agent for its own account or for the account of a Lender or Agent, as the case
may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt (or other evidence acceptable
to such Lender or Agent, acting reasonably) received by the Borrower or such Guarantor
showing payment thereof.

 

(b)           The Borrower shall timely pay and shall
indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and Lender (whether or not such Other
Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority) with regard to any Other Taxes.

 

(c)           The Borrower shall indemnify and hold
harmless each Agent and Lender within 20 Business Days after written demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes imposed on the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to
any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed
or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.4)
and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether
or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by
the relevant Governmental Authority.  A
certificate 

 

65

 

setting forth reasonable detail as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or Agent (as applicable) on its
own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)           Each Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it
is legally entitled to do so:

 

(i)           deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent prior to the date on which the first payment to such
Non-U.S. Lender is due hereunder  two
copies of either (x) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption
from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of
the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, United States
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (together with a certificate representing
that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of
the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of
the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related
to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the
Code)), (y) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI,
in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender
claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding
tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement or (z) Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and any attachments (including the forms described
in subclauses (x) and (y) above, as applicable); and

 

(ii)          deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification (or
any applicable successor form) on or before the date that any such form or
certification expires or becomes obsolete, after the occurrence of any event
requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the
Borrower and Administrative Agent and from time to time as reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

 

unless in any
such case any Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery
would otherwise be required that renders any such form inapplicable or would
prevent such Non-U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form
with respect to it and such Non-U.S. Lender promptly so advises the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent.  Each Person
that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 13.6 or a
Lender pursuant to Section 13.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of
the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements
required pursuant to this Section 5.4(d), provided that in
the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required
forms and statements to the Administrative Agent and to the Lender from which
the related participation shall have been purchased.

 

(e)           [Reserved].

 

(f)            Each Lender and Agent that is entitled to
an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the laws of
the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is organized, or any treaty to which
such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document by the Borrower or Guarantor shall deliver to such
Borrower or Guarantor (with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent), as
applicable, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and as reasonably
requested by the Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by 

 

66

 

applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without such withholding
or at such reduced rate, provided that such Lender or Agent is legally
entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and such
documentation is necessary in order for such exemption or reduction to apply.

 

(g)           If any Lender or Agent, as applicable,
determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received and retained a refund
of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax for which a payment has been made by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, which refund in the good faith judgment of
such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made
by the Borrower, then the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may
be, shall reimburse the Borrower for such amount (together with any interest
received thereon) as the Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be,
determines in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, to be the
proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no
better or worse after-tax financial position (taking into account expenses or
any taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in if the payment had
not been required; provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Lender or Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority)
to the Lender or Agent in the event the Lender or Agent is required to repay
such refund to such Governmental Authority. 
A Lender or Agent shall claim any refund of Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes that it determines in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, is
available to it, unless it concludes in its sole discretion that it would be
adversely affected by making such a claim. 
No Lender or Agent shall be obliged to disclose any information regarding
its tax affairs or computations or any other information it deems confidential
to any Loan Party in connection with this clause (h) or any other
provision of this Section 5.4.

 

(h)           If the Borrower determines that a reasonable
basis exists for contesting a Tax, each Lender or Agent, as the case may be,
shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower as the Borrower may
reasonably request in challenging such Tax. 
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12, each Lender and
Agent agree to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower as the
Borrower may reasonably request to minimize any amount payable by the Borrower
or any Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5.4.  The Borrower shall indemnify and hold each
Lender and Agent harmless against any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such
Person in connection with any request made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.4(h).  Nothing in this Section 5.4(h) shall
obligate any Lender or Agent to take any action that such Person, in its sole
judgment, determines may result in a material detriment to such Person.

 

(i)            Each Lender and Agent that is a United
States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it can legally do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two United States Internal
Revenue Service Forms W-9 (or substitute or successor form), properly completed
and duly executed, certifying that such Lender or Agent is exempt from United
States federal backup withholding tax (i) on or prior to the Original
Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement),
(ii) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, (iii) after
the occurrence of a change in the Agent’s or Lender’s circumstances requiring a
change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent, and (iv) 

 

67

 

from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent.

 

(j)            The agreements in this Section 5.4
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans
and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

5.5.            Computations of
Interest.  Interest on LIBOR Loans
and ABR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual
days elapsed and interest on overdue interest shall be calculated on the basis
of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.

 

5.6.            Limit on Rate of
Interest.

 

(a)           No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate.  Notwithstanding any other term of this
Agreement, the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any interest or other
amounts under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in respect of
the Obligations in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent
with any applicable law, rule or regulation.

 

(b)           Payment at Highest Lawful Rate.  If the Borrower is not obliged to make a
payment that it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of Section 5.6(a),
the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or
consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 

(c)           Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful
Rate.  If any provision of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Borrower to
make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount
or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any applicable law, rule or
regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be
deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or
rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law,
such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount
or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender
under Section 2.8.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after
giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have
received from the Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any
applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower shall be entitled,
by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent to obtain reimbursement from
that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement,
such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the
Borrower.

 

SECTION 6.              Conditions
Precedent to Initial Borrowing Under Original Senior Subordinated Loan
Agreement.

 

The initial Borrowing under the Original
Senior Subordinated Loan Agreement was subject to the satisfaction of the

and the Administrative Agent.  The
Borrower and Lenders agree that all such conditions were satisfied or waived at
the time of the Original Closing Date.

 

68

(a)              this Agreement,

Lender; and

 

(b)              the Guarantee,

Subordinated Interim Loan, the Administrative Agent received a Notice of
Borrowing (whether in writing or by telephone) meeting the requirements of Section 2.3.

 

6.5.            Equity Investments.  Equity Investments, which, to the extent constituting
Stock other than common Stock, were on terms and conditions and pursuant to
documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Joint Lead Arrangers and
Bookrunners to the extent material to the interests of the Lenders, in an
amount not less than the Minimum Equity Amount shall have been made.

 

6.6.            Closing
Certificates.  The Administrative
Agent received a certificate of the Loan Parties, dated the Original Closing
Date, substantially in the form of Exhibit F, with appropriate
insertions, executed by the President or any Vice President and the Secretary
or any Assistant Secretary of each Loan Party, and attaching the documents
referred to in Section 6.7.

 

6.7.            Authorization of
Proceedings of Each Loan Party.  The
Administrative Agent shall have received a copy of the resolutions, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of the board of directors
or other managers of each Loan Party (or a duly authorized committee thereof) authorizing
(a) the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents (and any
agreements relating thereto) to which it is a party and (b) in the case of
the Borrower, the extensions of credit contemplated hereunder.

 

6.8.            Fees.  The Agents received the fees in the amounts
previously agreed in writing by the Agents to be received on the Original
Closing Date and all expenses (including the reasonable fees, disbursements and
other charges of counsel) payable by the Loan Parties for which invoices have
been presented prior to the Original Closing Date shall have been paid.

 

6.9.            Representations and
Warranties.  On the Original Closing
Date, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in Section 8.1(a),
Section 8.2, Section 8.5 and 

 

69

 

Section 8.7,
as they relate to the Loan Parties at such time, shall have been true and
correct in all material respects.

 

6.10.          Solvency Certificate.  On the Original Closing Date, the
Administrative Agent received a certificate from an Authorized Officer of the
Borrower to the effect that after giving effect to the consummation of the
Transactions, the Borrower on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries is
Solvent.

 

6.11.          Merger.  Concurrently with the initial Credit Event
hereunder, the Merger was consummated in accordance with the terms of the
Acquisition Agreement (or the Lead Arrangers shall be reasonably satisfied with
the arrangements in place for the consummation of the Merger reasonably
promptly after the initial Credit Event hereunder and shall have received confirmation
from representatives of the Borrower that such actions shall be taken promptly
after the initial Credit Event hereunder), without giving effect to any amendments
or waivers thereto that are materially adverse to the Lenders (including,
without limitation, the definition of, and representations, warranties and
conditions relating to the absence of any, “Material Adverse Change” or
Material Adverse Effect on the Company” therein) without the reasonable consent
of the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners.

 

6.12.          Patriot Act.  On the Original Closing Date, the Joint Lead
Arrangers and Bookrunners received such documentation and information as was
reasonably requested in writing at least 10 days prior to the Original Closing
Date by the Administrative Agent about the Borrower and the Guarantors in
respect of applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and
regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act.

 

The acceptance of the benefits of the
Borrowing on the Original Closing Date shall have constituted a representation
and warranty on such date by each Loan Party to each of the Lenders that all
the applicable conditions specified in Section 6 above have been
satisfied as of that time.

 

SECTION 7.              Conditions
Precedent to Entering This Agreement.

 

The
effectiveness of this Agreement shall be subject to the execution and delivery
of this Agreement by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower and each Lender
on the Closing Date.

 

SECTION 8.              Representations,
Warranties and Agreements

 

In order to induce the Lenders to enter into
this Agreement and to make the Loans as provided for herein, the Borrower made
(on, and as of, the Original Closing Date) the following representations and
warranties to, and agreements with, the Lenders, all of which shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Original Senior Subordinated Loan Agreement and
the making of the Loans (it being understood that the following representations
and warranties shall be deemed made with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary only
to the extent relevant under applicable law):

 

70

 

8.1.            Corporate Status.  The Borrower and each Material Subsidiary (a) is
a duly organized and validly existing corporation or other entity in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has the
corporate or other organizational power and authority to own its property and
assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and (b) has
duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing (if
applicable) in all jurisdictions where it is required to be so qualified,
except where the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

8.2.            Corporate Power and
Authority.  Each Loan Party has the
corporate or other organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and
carry out the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents to which it is a party
and has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to
which it is a party.  Each Loan Party has
duly executed and delivered each Loan Document to which it is a party and each
such Loan Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such
Loan Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability
thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’
rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

 

8.3.            No Violation.  Neither the execution, delivery or
performance by any Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party nor
compliance with the terms and provisions thereof nor the consummation of the
Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will (a) contravene
any applicable provision of any material law, statute, rule, regulation, order,
writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (b) except
as set forth on Schedule 8.3, result in any breach of any of the terms,
covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or
result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose)
any Lien upon any of the property or assets of such Loan Party or any of the
Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Liens created under the Senior Secured
Credit Agreement and the documents related thereto) pursuant to, the terms of
any material indenture, loan agreement, lease agreement, mortgage, deed of
trust, agreement or other material instrument to which such Loan Party or any
of the Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property
or assets is bound (any such term, covenant, condition or provision, a “Contractual Requirement”) other than any such breach,
default or Lien that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect or (c) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation,
by-laws or other organizational documents of such Loan Party or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries.

 

8.4.            Litigation.  Except as set forth on Schedule 8.4,
there are no actions, suits or proceedings (including Environmental Claims)
pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened with respect to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

8.5.            Margin Regulations.  Neither the making of any Loan hereunder nor
the use of the proceeds thereof will violate the provisions of Regulation T, U
or X of the Board.

 

8.6.            Governmental
Approvals.  The execution, delivery
and performance of the Acquisition Agreement or any Loan Document do not
require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or other action
by, any Governmental Authority, except for (i) such as 

 

71

 

have been
obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) such licenses,
approvals, authorizations or consents the failure of which to obtain could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

8.7.            Investment Company
Act.  The Borrower is not an “investment
company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

8.8.            True and Complete
Disclosure.

 

(a)           None of the written factual information and
written data (taken as a whole) heretofore or contemporaneously furnished by or
on behalf of the Borrower, any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective
authorized representatives to the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger
and Bookrunner and/or any Lender on or before the Original Closing Date
(including all such information and data contained in the Loan Documents) for
purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated
herein contained any untrue statement of any material fact or omitted to state
any material fact necessary to make such information and data (taken as a
whole) not misleading at such time in light of the circumstances under which
such information or data was furnished, it being understood and agreed that for
purposes of this Section 8.8(a), such factual information and data
shall not include pro forma financial information, projections or estimates
(including financial estimates, forecasts and other forward-looking
information) and information of a general economic or general industry nature.

 

(b)           The projections (including financial
estimates, forecasts and other forward-looking information) contained in the
information and data referred to in paragraph (a) above were based on good
faith estimates and assumptions believed by such Persons to be reasonable at
the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections as to
future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the
period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected
results.

 

8.9.            Financial
Condition; Financial Statements.  The
Historical Financial Statements present fairly in all material respects the
consolidated financial position of the Borrower at the respective dates of said
information, statements and results of operations for the periods covered
thereby.  The unaudited pro forma
consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at June 30,
2007 (including the notes thereto) (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”)
and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries for the 12-month period ending on such date (together with
the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, the “Pro Forma Financial
Statements”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the
Administrative Agent, have been prepared based on (x) the Historical Financial
Statements and (y) the unaudited historical consolidated financial
information described in clause (a) of this Section 8.9
and have been prepared in good faith, based on assumptions believed by the Borrower
to be reasonable as of the date of delivery thereof, and present fairly in all
material respects on a pro forma basis
the estimated financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at June 30,
2007 and their estimated results of operations for the period covered
thereby.  The financial statements
referred to in this Section 8.9 have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP consistently applied except to the extent provided in the notes to
said financial 

 

72

 

statements.  Immediately after the Original Closing Date,
there had been no Material Adverse Effect.

 

8.10.          Tax Matters.  Except as could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, (a) each of the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries has filed all federal income tax returns and all other tax
returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed by it and has timely paid
all taxes payable by it (whether or not shown on a tax return) that have become
due, (b) the Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries have paid, or have
provided adequate reserves (in the good faith judgment of management of the
Borrower or such Subsidiary) in accordance with GAAP for the payment of, all
federal, state, provincial and foreign taxes applicable for the current fiscal
year to the Original Closing Date and (c) the Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries has withheld amounts from their respective employees for all
periods in compliance with the tax, social, security and unemployment
withholding provisions of applicable law and timely paid such withholdings to
the respective Governmental Authorities.

 

8.11.          Compliance with ERISA.

 

(a)           Each Plan is in compliance with ERISA, the
Code and any applicable Requirement of Law; no Reportable Event has occurred
(or is reasonably likely to occur) with respect to any Plan; no Plan is
insolvent or in reorganization (or is reasonably likely to be insolvent or in
reorganization), and no written notice of any such insolvency or reorganization
has been given to the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate; no Plan (other than a
Multiemployer Plan) has an accumulated or waived funding deficiency (or is
reasonably likely to have such a deficiency); on and after the effectiveness of
the Pension Act, each Plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA has satisfied
the minimum funding standards (within the meaning of Section 412 of the
Code or Section 302 of ERISA) applicable to such Plan, and there has been
no determination that any such Plan is, or is expected to be, in “at risk”
status (within the meaning of Section 4010(d)(2) of ERISA); none of
the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred (or is reasonably likely to
incur) any liability to or on account of a Plan pursuant to Section 409,
502(i), 502(1), 515, 4062, 4063, 4064, 4069, 4201 or 4204 of ERISA or Section 4971
or 4975 of the Code or has been notified in writing that it will incur any
liability under any of the foregoing Sections with respect to any Plan; no
proceedings have been instituted (or are reasonably likely to be instituted) to
terminate or to reorganize any Plan or to appoint a trustee to administer any
Plan, and no written notice of any such proceedings has been given to the Borrower
or any ERISA Affiliate; and no lien imposed under the Code or ERISA on the
assets of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate exists (or is reasonably likely
to exist) nor has the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate been notified in writing
that such a lien will be imposed on the assets of the Borrower or any ERISA
Affiliate on account of any Plan, except to the extent that a breach of any of
the representations, warranties or agreements in this Section 8.11(a) would
not result, individually or in the aggregate, in an amount of liability that
would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) has
an Unfunded Current Liability that would, individually or when taken together
with any other liabilities referenced in this Section 8.11(a), be
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.  With respect to Plans that are Multiemployer
Plans (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA), the representations and warranties
in this Section 8.11(a), other than any made with respect to (i) liability
under Section 

 

73

 

4201 or 4204 of ERISA or (ii) liability for termination or
reorganization of such Plans under ERISA, are made to the best knowledge of the
Borrower.

 

(b)           All Foreign Plans are in compliance with,
and have been established, administered and operated in accordance with, the
terms of such Foreign Plans and applicable law, except for any failure to so
comply, establish, administer or operate the Foreign Plans as would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  All contributions or other payments which are
due with respect to each Foreign Plan have been made in full and there are no
funding deficiencies thereunder, except to the extent any such events would
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

8.12.          Subsidiaries.  Schedule 8.12 lists each Subsidiary of
the Borrower (and the direct and indirect ownership interest of the Borrower
therein), in each case existing on the Original Closing Date.

 

8.13.          Intellectual Property.  The Borrower and each of the Restricted
Subsidiaries have obtained all intellectual property, free from burdensome
restrictions, that is necessary for the operation of their respective businesses
as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted, except where the
failure to obtain any such rights could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

8.14.          Environmental Laws.

 

(a)           Except as could not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect:  (i) the
Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries and all Real Estate are in compliance
with all Environmental Laws; (ii) neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary
is subject to any Environmental Claim or any other liability under any
Environmental Law; (iii) neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is
conducting any investigation, removal, remedial or other corrective action
pursuant to any Environmental Law at any location; and (iv) no underground
storage tank or related piping, or any impoundment or other disposal area
containing Hazardous Materials is located at, on or under any Real Estate
currently owned or leased by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(b)           Neither the Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries
has treated, stored, transported, released or disposed or arranged for disposal
or transport for disposal of Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any
currently or formerly owned or leased Real Estate or facility in a manner that
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

8.15.          Properties.  The Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries
have good and marketable title to or valid leasehold interests in all
properties that are necessary for the operation of their respective businesses
as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted, free and clear of all
Liens (other than any Liens permitted by this Agreement) and except where the
failure to have such good title could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

8.16.          Solvency.  On the Original Closing Date (after giving
effect to the Transactions), immediately following the making of each Loan and
after giving effect to the application 

 

74

 

of the
proceeds of such Loans, the Borrower on a consolidated basis with its
Subsidiaries will be Solvent.

 

SECTION 9.              Covenants

 

9.1.            Reports and Other
Information.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding that the Borrower may not be
subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act or otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms
provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and
regulations promulgated by the SEC, the Borrower shall file with the SEC (and
make available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (without exhibits),
without cost to any Lender, within 15 days after the Borrower files or
would be required to file them with the SEC) from and after the Original
Closing Date,

 

 (i)     within 90 days (or any other time period then
in effect under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act with respect
to the filing of a Form 10-K by a non-accelerated filer) after the end of
each fiscal year, annual reports on Form 10-K, or any successor or
comparable form, containing the information required to be contained therein,
or required in such successor or comparable form;

 

(ii)     within 45 days after the end of each of the first
three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, reports on Form 10-Q containing
all quarterly information that would be required to be contained in Form 10-Q,
or any successor or comparable form;

 

(iii)    promptly from time to time after the occurrence of
an event required to be therein reported, such other reports on Form 8-K,
or any successor or comparable form; and

 

(iv)    any other information, documents and other reports
which the Borrower would be required to file with the SEC if it were subject to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

 

in each case
in a manner that complies in all material respects with the requirements
specified in such form; provided that the Borrower shall not be so
obligated to file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such
filing, in which event the Borrower shall make available such information to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, which obligation may be satisfied by
posting such reports on the website of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and
the Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent when such reports
are posted on the website of the Borrower, in each case within 15 days after
the time the Borrower would be required to file such information with the SEC
if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
requirements of Section 9.1(a), shall be deemed satisfied (1) by
the filing with the SEC of a registration statement, and any amendments
thereto, with such financial information that satisfies Regulation S-X, subject
to exceptions consistent with the presentation of financial information in an
offering memorandum relating to securities sold in reliance on Rule 144A
of the Securities Act, to the extent filed within the times 

 

75

 

specified in Section 9.1(a),
or (2) by posting reports that would be required to be filed substantially
in the form required by the SEC on the Borrower’s website (or that of any of
its parent companies) or providing such reports to the Administrative Agent
within 15 days after the time the Borrower would be required to file such
information with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act or the financial information that would be required to be
included in such reports.  Additionally,
in the event that any direct or indirect parent company of the Borrower becomes
a Guarantor of the Loans, the Borrower may satisfy its obligations under this Section 9.1
with respect to financial information relating to the Borrower by furnishing financial
information relating to such parent; provided that the same is accompanied
by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences
between the information relating to such parent, on the one hand, and the
information relating to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a
standalone basis, on the other hand.

 

9.2.            Compliance
Certificate.

 

(a)           The Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year ending
after the Original Closing Date, a certificate from the principal executive
officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer stating
that a review of the activities of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries
during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the
signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Borrower has kept,
observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, and
further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best
of his or her knowledge the Borrower has kept, observed, performed and
fulfilled each and every condition and covenant contained in this Agreement and
is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms,
provisions, covenants and conditions of this Agreement (or, if a Default shall
have occurred, describing all such Defaults of which he or she may have knowledge
and what action the Borrower is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto).

 

(b)           When
any Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement, or if the
Administrative Agent or the holder of any other evidence of Indebtedness of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary gives any notice or takes any other action with
respect to a claimed Default, the Borrower shall promptly (which shall be no
more than five (5) Business Days) deliver to the Administrative Agent by
registered or certified mail or by facsimile transmission an Officer’s
Certificate specifying such event and what action the Borrower proposes to take
with respect thereto.

 

9.3.            Taxes.  The
Borrower shall pay, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay,
prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies
except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate negotiations or
proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any
material respect to the Lenders.

 

9.4.            Stay, Extension and
Usury Laws.  The Borrower and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that
they may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or
in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay,
extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force,
that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and the
Borrower and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do
so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage

 

76

 

of any such law, and
covenant that they shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede
the execution of any power herein granted to the Administrative Agent, but
shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law
has been enacted.

 

9.5.                                   Limitation on
Restricted Payments.

Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata
share of such dividend or distribution in accordance with its Equity Interests
in such class or series of securities;

 

(II)                                purchase,

of the Borrower or any direct or indirect parent of the Borrower, including in
connection with any merger or consolidation;

 

(III)                            make any
principal payment on, or redeem, repurchase, defease or otherwise acquire or
retire for value in each case, prior to any scheduled repayment, sinking fund
payment or maturity, any Subordinated Indebtedness, other than:

 

(A)                              Indebtedness permitted under
clauses (7) and (8) of Section 9.7(b) hereof;

in each case due within one year of the date of purchase, repurchase or
acquisition; or

 

(IV)                            make any

(1)                                  no Default shall have
occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;

 

(2)                                  immediately after giving
effect to such transaction on a pro forma
basis, the Borrower could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under Section 9.7(a) hereof;
and

 

(3)                                  such Restricted Payment,

respect to the payment of dividends on Refunding Capital Stock pursuant to clause
(b) thereof only), (6)(c), (9) and (14) of Section 9.5(b) hereof

since immediately after the Closing Date (other than net cash proceeds to the extent
such net cash proceeds have been used to incur Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock
or Preferred Stock pursuant to clause (12)(a) of Section 9.7(b) hereof)
from the issue or sale of:

 

(i)                                     (A) Equity Interests of

Borrower that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests
of the Borrower;

 

provided, however, that this clause (b) shall
not include the proceeds from (V) Refunding Capital Stock, (W) Equity

Subsidiary, as the case may be, (X) Disqualified Stock or debt securities
that have been converted into Disqualified Stock or (Y) Excluded

the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary was made by the
Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to clause (7) of Section 9.5(b) hereof
or to the extent such Investment constituted a Permitted Investment) or a
dividend from an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Original Closing Date; plus

 

(e)                                  in the case of the
redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary after
the Original Closing Date, the fair market value of the Investment in such
Unrestricted Subsidiary, as determined by the Borrower in good faith (or if
such fair market value exceeds $250.0 million, in writing by an
Independent Financial Advisor), at the time of the redesignation of such Unrestricted
Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary other than to the extent the Investment
in such Unrestricted Subsidiary was made by the Borrower or a Restricted 

 

79

 

Subsidiary pursuant to clause
(7) of Section 9.5(b) or to the extent such Investment
constituted a Permitted Investment.

 

(b)                                 The foregoing
provisions of Section 9.5(a) shall not prohibit:

Subordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Equity Interests of any direct
or indirect parent company of the Borrower, in exchange for, or out of the
proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Restricted
Subsidiary) of, Equity Interests of the Borrower or any direct or indirect

any of its direct or indirect parent companies pursuant to any management
equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit
plan or agreement, including any Equity Interests rolled over by management of
the Borrower or any of its direct or indirect parent companies in connection
with the Transactions; provided, however, that the aggregate
Restricted Payments made under this clause (4) do not exceed in any
calendar year $75.0 million (which shall increase to $150.0 million subsequent
to the consummation of an underwritten public Equity Offering by the Borrower
or any direct or indirect parent entity of the Borrower) (with unused amounts

not exceed the aggregate amount of cash actually contributed to the Borrower
from the sale of such Designated Preferred Stock; or

 

(c)                                  the declaration and payment

hereof;

Unrestricted Subsidiaries; provided that in each case the amount of such
payments in any fiscal year does not exceed the amount that the Borrower and
its Restricted Subsidiaries and its Unrestricted Subsidiaries (to the extent described
above) would be required to pay in respect of foreign, federal, state and local
taxes for such fiscal year were the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries and
its Unrestricted Subsidiaries (to the extent described above) to pay such taxes

permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except
pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.”  For purposes of designating any Restricted
Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the
Subsidiary so designated shall be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount
determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investments.”  Such designation shall be permitted only if a
Restricted Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time, whether pursuant
to Section 9.5(a) hereof or under clause (7), (10) or
(11) of Section 9.5(b), or pursuant to the definition of “Permitted
Investments,” and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an
Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(a)                                  The Borrower
shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly
or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become
directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise (collectively, “incur” and collectively, an “incurrence”),
with respect to any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), and the
Borrower shall not issue any shares of Disqualified Stock and shall not permit
any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or

Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified
Stock, and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including
Acquired Indebtedness), issue shares of Disqualified Stock and issue shares of
Preferred Stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio on a consolidated basis for
the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ most recently ended four fiscal
quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately
preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued would have been at least 2.00
to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis
(including a pro forma application of the net
proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or
the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be,
and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such
four-quarter period; provided, further, that Restricted Subsidiaries
that are not Guarantors may not incur Indebtedness or issue shares of
Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock if, after giving pro forma
effect to such incurrence or issuance (including a pro forma
application of the net proceeds therefrom), more than an aggregate of $2,000.0
million of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of Restricted
Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors would be outstanding pursuant to this Section 9.7(a) and

thereof), up to an aggregate principal amount of $16,500.0 million
outstanding at any one time;

 

(2)                                  the incurrence

this Section 9.7(b));

 

87

 

(4)                                  Indebtedness

finance the purchase, lease, improvement, development or construction of property
(real or personal), equipment or other fixed or capital assets that are used or
useful in a Similar Business, whether through the direct purchase of assets or
the Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets; provided that the
aggregate amount of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock
incurred pursuant to this clause (4), when aggregated with all other
outstanding amounts of Indebtedness incurred under clause (13) to refinance
Indebtedness initially incurred in reliance on this clause (4), does not
exceed (x) prior to the Interim Loan Conversion Date, $1,000.0 million and
(y) thereafter, 4.0% of the Borrower’s Total Assets, in each case at any
one time outstanding so long as such Indebtedness exists at the date of such
purchase, lease or improvement or is created within 270 days thereafter;

 

(5)                                  Indebtedness

reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit issued in the
ordinary course of business, including letters of credit in respect of workers’
compensation or employee health claims, or other Indebtedness with respect to
reimbursement-type obligations regarding workers’ compensation or employee
health claims; provided that upon the drawing of such letters of credit
or the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such obligations are reimbursed within
30 days following such drawing or incurrence;

arising from agreements of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries
providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations,
in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business,
assets or a Subsidiary, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any
Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or a Subsidiary
for the purpose of financing such acquisition; provided that such
Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of the Borrower or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to
financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not
be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause
(6));

 

(7)                                  Indebtedness of
the Borrower to a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that any such Indebtedness
having a term exceeding 364 days owing to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a
Guarantor is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Loans; provided,
further, that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock
or any other event which results in any Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a
Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness
(except to the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in
each case, to be an incurrence of such Indebtedness;

 

(8)                                  Indebtedness of
a Restricted Subsidiary to the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary; provided

owing to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, such Indebtedness is
expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantee of the Loans of

 

88

 

such
Guarantor; provided, further, that any subsequent transfer of any
such Indebtedness (except to the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary)
shall be deemed, in each case, to be an incurrence of such Indebtedness not
permitted by this clause (8);

Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary issued to the Borrower or another

of any Capital Stock or any other event which results in any such Restricted
Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent
transfer of any such shares of Preferred Stock (except to the Borrower or
another Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed in each case to be an issuance
of such shares of Preferred Stock not permitted by this clause (9);

interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or
amortization of original issue discounts and the payment of interest or dividends
in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock
shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or
Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 9.7.

 

(e)                                  For purposes of
determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the
incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of
Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the
relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was
incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of
revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to
refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing
would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded
if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of
such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not
to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing
Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being
refinanced.

 

92

 

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to
refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the
Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency
exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective
Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

 

9.8.                                   Asset Sales.

 

(a)                                  The Borrower
shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to
consummate, directly or indirectly, an Asset Sale, unless:

 

(1)                                  the Borrower or
such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the
time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as determined
in good faith by the Borrower) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

 

(2)                                  except in the
case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor
received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is
in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:

 

(A)                              any liabilities (as
reflected in the Borrower’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance
sheet or in the footnotes thereto, or if incurred or accrued subsequent to the
date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been shown on the
Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary’s balance sheet or in the footnotes
thereto if such incurrence or accrual have taken place on the date of such
balance sheet, as determined by the Borrower) of the Borrower or such
Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated
to the Loans, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for
which the Borrower and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released
by all creditors in writing,

 

(B)                                any securities, notes or
other obligations or assets received by the Borrower or such Restricted
Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Borrower or such
Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180
days following the closing of such Asset Sale, and

 

(C)                                any Designated Non-cash
Consideration received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary in such
Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other
Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that
is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 5% of the Borrower’s Total Assets at
the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the
fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being
measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes
in value,

 

shall
be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose.

 

93

 

(b)                                 Within 450 days
after the receipt of any Net Asset Sale Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the
Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Asset
Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale,

 

(1)                                  to permanently
reduce:

 

(A)                              Obligations under Senior
Indebtedness, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

 

(B)                                Obligations under (i) this
Agreement or (ii) other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower
or any Guarantor (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect
thereto) through open market purchases or by making an Asset Sale Offer in
accordance with the procedures set forth below; provided that to the extent the Borrower or such Restricted
Subsidiary reduces or makes an offer to prepay, as applicable, Obligations
under Senior Subordinated Indebtedness other than the Loans, the Borrower shall
equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Loans as provided under Section 5.1
by making an offer in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an
Asset Sale Offer to all Lenders to equally and ratably reduce or make an offer
to prepay, as applicable, the Loans at 100% of the principal amount thereof,
plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of the
Loans that would otherwise be prepaid; or

 

(C)                                Indebtedness of a Restricted
Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the
Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary (or any Affiliate thereof);

 

(2)                                  to make (a) an
Investment in any one or more businesses, provided that if such business
is not a Restricted Subsidiary, such Investment is in the form of the acquisition
of Capital Stock and results in the Borrower or another of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such
business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) an
Investment in properties (c) capital expenditures or (d) acquisitions
of other assets, in each of clauses (a) through (d), that
are used or useful in a Similar Business or that replace the businesses,
properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale;

 

provided that, in the
case of clause (2) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as
a permitted application of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds from the date of such
commitment so long as the Borrower or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters
into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Asset Sale
Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such
commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in
the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any
reason before the Net Asset Sale Proceeds are applied in connection therewith,
the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable
Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within
180 days of such cancellation or termination; provided,  further,
that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason
before such Net Asset Sale Proceeds are applied, then such Net Asset Sale Proceeds
shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

 

94

 

(c)                                  Any Net Asset
Sale Proceeds that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time
period set forth in Section 9.8(b) shall be deemed to
constitute “Excess Proceeds.”  When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds
exceeds $200.0 million, the Borrower shall make an offer to all Lenders or
holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes, as applicable and, if required or
permitted by the terms of any Senior Subordinated Indebtedness, to the holders
of such Senior Subordinated Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale
Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the
Loans or Senior Subordinated Notes, as applicable, and such Senior Subordinated
Indebtedness that is a minimum of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer
price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer,
in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement and the Senior
Subordinated Refinancing Indenture.  The
Borrower will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds
within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed
$200.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement or the Senior Subordinated Refinancing Indenture, as applicable,
with a copy to the Administrative Agent.

 

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Loans or
Senior Subordinated Notes, as applicable, and any other Senior Subordinated
Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess
Proceeds, the Borrower may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general
corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Agreement or
the Senior Subordinated Refinancing Indenture, as applicable.  If the aggregate principal amount of Loans or
Senior Subordinated Notes, as applicable, or the Senior Subordinated
Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess
Proceeds, the Administrative Agent shall select the Loans or Senior
Subordinated Notes, as applicable, and such other Senior Subordinated
Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or
principal amount of the Loans or Senior Subordinated Notes, as applicable, or
such Senior Subordinated Indebtedness which have been accepted for repayment by
the applicable Lender.  Upon completion
of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at
zero.  Additionally, the Borrower may, at
its option, make an Asset Sale Offer using proceeds from any Asset Sale at any
time after consummation of such Asset Sale; provided that such Asset
Sale Offer shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than
$25.0 million.  Upon consummation of
such Asset Sale Offer, any Net Asset Sale Proceeds not required to be used to
purchase Loans or Senior Subordinated Notes, as applicable, shall not be deemed
Excess Proceeds.

 

(d)                                 Pending the
final application of any Net Asset Sale Proceeds pursuant to this Section 9.8,
the holder of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds may apply such Net Asset Sale Proceeds
temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit
facility or otherwise invest such Net Asset Sale Proceeds in any manner not
prohibited by this Agreement.

 

9.9.                                   Transactions
with Affiliates.

 

(a)                                  The Borrower
shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any
payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its
properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into
or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan,
advance or guarantee with, or for the

 

95

 

benefit of, any Affiliate of the Borrower
(each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate
Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess
of $40.0 million, unless:

 

(1)               such Affiliate
Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Borrower
or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained
in a comparable transaction by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary with
an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; and

 

(2)               the Borrower
delivers to the Administrative Agent with respect to any Affiliate Transaction
or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or
consideration in excess of $80.0 million, a resolution adopted by the
majority of the board of directors of the Borrower approving such Affiliate
Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such
Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) of this Section 9.9(a).

 

(b)              The provisions of Section 9.9(a) hereof
shall not apply to the following:

 

(1)               transactions
between or among the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

 

(2)               Restricted

accrued in any prior year) and the termination fees pursuant to the Sponsor Management
Agreement, in each case as in effect on the Closing Date, or any amendments
thereto (so long as any such amendment is not, in the good faith judgment of
the board of directors of the Borrower, disadvantageous to the Lenders when
taken as a whole compared to the Sponsor Management Agreement as in effect on
the Closing Date);

 

(4)               the payment of
reasonable and customary fees paid to, and indemnities provided for the benefit
of, former, current or future officers, directors, employees or consultants of
Borrower, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries;

 

(5)               transactions in
which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be,
delivers to the Administrative Agent a letter from an Independent Financial
Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Borrower or such
Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms
are not materially less favorable to the Borrower or its relevant Restricted
Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction
by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an
arm’s-length basis;

 

(6)               any agreement
or arrangement as in effect as of the Closing Date, or any amendment thereto
(so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Lenders 

 

96

 

when
taken as a whole as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the
Closing Date);

 

(7)               the existence
of, or the performance by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement or its
equivalent (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement
related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Closing Date and any similar
agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however,
that the existence of, or the performance by the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under any future amendment to any such
existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Closing
Date shall only be permitted by this clause (7) to the extent that
the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise
disadvantageous to the Lenders when taken as a whole;

 

(8)               the
Transactions, the Senior Take out Notes Offering and the payment of all fees
and expenses related to the Transactions and the Senior Take out Notes
Offering;

 

(9)               transactions

favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated
party;

 

(10)         the issuance or

direct or indirect parent companies or any of its Subsidiaries;

 

(11)         sales of
accounts receivable, or participations therein, in connection with any
Receivables Facility;

 

(12)         payments by the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to any of the Investors made for
any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement services or in
respect of other investment banking activities, including, without limitation,
in connection with acquisitions or divestitures, which payments are approved by
a majority of the board of directors of the Borrower in good faith;

 

(13)         payments or
loans (or cancellation of loans) to employees or consultants of the Borrower,
any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any of its Restricted

arrangements with such employees or consultants which, in each case, are
approved by the Borrower in good faith;

 

(14)         investments by
the Investors in securities of the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries (and the payment of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by

 

97

 

the
Investors in connection therewith) so long as (i) the investment is being

investment constitutes less than 5% of the proposed or outstanding issue amount
of such class of securities;

 

(15)         payments to and

or operation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided that in each case the amount of such payments in
any fiscal year does not exceed the amount that the Borrower, its Restricted
Subsidiaries and its Unrestricted Subsidiaries (to the extent of amounts
received from Unrestricted Subsidiaries) would be required to pay in respect of
foreign, federal, state and local taxes for such fiscal year were the Borrower
and its Restricted Subsidiaries and its Unrestricted Subsidiaries (to the
extent described above) to pay such taxes separately from any such parent
entity.

 

9.10.          Liens.  The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any
Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist
any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures obligations under any
Indebtedness ranking pari passu with
or subordinated to the Loans or any related Guarantee, on any asset or property
of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign
or convey any right to receive income therefrom, unless:

 

(1)               in the case of
Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Loans and related Guarantees are
secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority
to such Liens; or

 

(2)               in all other
cases, the Loans or the Guarantees are equally and ratably secured or are
secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority
to such Liens;

 

except that the foregoing shall not apply to
Liens securing Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor.

 

9.11.          Corporate Existence.  Subject to Sections 9.14
and 9.15, the Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary

Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as
the same may be amended from time to time) of the Borrower or any such
Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory),
licenses and franchises of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or
franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Borrower in good faith shall determine that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of
the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

 

98

 

9.12.                             Offer to
Repurchase upon Change of Control.

 

(a)                                  If a Change of
Control occurs, unless otherwise prepaid in accordance with Section 5.2(a) or
Section 9.8 hereof, the Borrower shall make an offer to prepay all
of the Loans pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Prepayment”)
equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest, to the date of purchase, subject to the right of Lenders of record on
the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest
payment date.  Within 30 days following
any Change of Control, the Borrower shall send notice of such Change of Control
Offer by first-class mail, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, to each
Lender to the address of such Lender appearing in the Register with a copy to
the Administrative Agent, with the following information:

 

(1)                        that a Change
of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 9.12 and
that such Lender has the right to require the Borrower to prepay such Lender’s
Loans;

 

(2)                        the prepayment
amount and the prepayment date, which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later
than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Prepayment Date”);

 

(3)                        that any Loans
not properly accepted for prepayment pursuant to this Section 9.12
will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

 

(4)                        that unless the
Borrower defaults in the prepayment of the Change of Control Prepayment, all
Loans accepted for prepayment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will
cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Prepayment Date;

 

(5)                        that Lenders
shall be entitled to withdraw their election to require the Borrower to prepay
such Loans, provided
that the Borrower receives, not later than the close of business on the
expiration date of the Change of Control Offer, a facsimile transmission or
letter setting forth the name of the Lender, the principal amount of Loans
accepted for prepayment, and a statement that such Lender is withdrawing its
election to have such Loans prepaid; and

 

(6)                        the other
instructions, as determined by the Borrower, consistent with this Section 9.12,
that a Lender must follow.

 

The notice, if mailed in a
manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given,
whether or not the Lender receives such notice. 
If (a) the notice is mailed in a manner herein provided and (b) any
Lender fails to receive such notice or a Lender receives such notice but it is
defective, such Lender’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall
not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Loans as to all
other Lenders that properly received such notice without defect.

 

99

 

(b)                       On the Change
of Control Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law,

 

(i)                                     prepay all
Loans, or portions thereof, accepted for prepayment in accordance with this Section 9.12
pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

 

(ii)                                  deposit with
the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control
Prepayment in respect of all Loans or portions thereof so accreted for
prepayment; and

 

(iii)                               deliver, or
cause to be delivered, to the Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate to
the Administrative Agent stating that such Loans or portions thereof have been
prepaid by the Borrower.

 

(c)                                  The Borrower
shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of
Control if a third-party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at
the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 9.12
applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Borrower and repays all
Loans accepted for prepayment pursuant to such Change of Control Offer.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of
Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is
in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of
Control Offer.

 

(d)                                 Other than as
specifically provided in this Section 9.12, any prepayment pursuant
to this Section 9.12 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections
5.2, 5.5 and 5.6 hereof.

 

9.13.                             Limitation on
Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries.  The Borrower shall not
permit any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries
(and non-Wholly Owned Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly Owned Subsidiaries guarantee
capital markets debt securities of the Borrower or any Guarantor), other than a
Guarantor, a Foreign Subsidiary or a Receivables Subsidiary, to guarantee the
payment of any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Guarantor unless:

 

(1)                                     such Restricted
Subsidiary within 30 days executes and delivers a Guarantee substantially in
the form of Exhibit A providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted
Subsidiary, provided that:

 

(a)                                  if the Loans or such
Guarantor’s Guarantee is subordinated in right of payment to such Indebtedness,
the Guarantee shall be subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary’s guarantee
with respect to such Indebtedness substantially to the same extent as the Loans are
subordinated to such Indebtedness; and

 

(b)                                 if such Indebtedness is by
its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Loans or such
Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with
respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in 

 

100

 

right of payment to such
Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated
to the Loans; and

 

(2)                                  such Restricted
Subsidiary waives, and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation
or any other rights against the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary as
a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee;

 

provided that this Section 9.13
shall not be applicable to (i) any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary
that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not
incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a
Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) guarantees of any Receivables Facility by any
Receivables Subsidiary and (iii) any guarantee relating to the Senior Take
out Notes Offering.

 

9.14.                             Merger,
Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets.

 

(a)                                  The Borrower shall not consolidate
or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Borrower is the
surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more
related transactions, to any Person unless:

District of Columbia or any territory thereof (such Person, as the case may be,
being herein called the “Successor Borrower”);
provided that if the surviving Person is not a corporation, a corporation
organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the
Borrower or the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of
Columbia or any territory thereof shall be a co-Borrower of the Loans;

 

(2)                                  the Successor

(A)                              the Successor Borrower would
be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 9.7(a) hereof,
or

 

101

 

(B)                                the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio for the Successor Borrower, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries
would be greater than such ratio for the Borrower and its Restricted

(5)                                  each Guarantor, unless it is
the other party to the transactions described above, in which case Section 9.14(c)(1)(B) hereof
shall apply, shall have by supplemental agreement confirmed that its Guarantee
shall apply to such Person’s obligations under this Agreement and the Loans;

Subsidiary may consolidate with or merge into or transfer all or part of its
properties and assets to the Borrower, and

 

(2)                                  the Borrower
may merge with an Affiliate of the Borrower, as the case may be, solely for the
purpose of reincorporating the Borrower in a State of the United States or any
state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof so long as the
amount of Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not
increased thereby.

 

(c)                                  Subject to
certain limitations described in this Agreement governing release of a
Guarantee upon the sale, disposition or transfer of a Guarantor, no Guarantor

102

 

Guarantee pursuant to
supplemental agreements or other documents or instruments in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

 

(C)                                immediately after such
transaction, no Default exists; and

 

(D)                               the Borrower shall have

(2)                                  the transaction is made in
compliance with Section 9.8 hereof.

 

(d)                                 Subject to
certain limitations described in this Agreement, the Successor Person shall

shall be permitted without compliance with this Section 9.14.

 

9.15.                             Successor
Corporation Substituted.  Upon any
consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance
or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower
in accordance with Section 9.14 hereof, the successor corporation
formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Borrower is merged or to
which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition
is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the
date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition,
the provisions of this Agreement referring to the Borrower
shall refer instead to the successor corporation and not to the Borrower), and
may exercise every right and power of the Borrower under this Agreement with the same
effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Borrower herein; provided
that the predecessor Borrower shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay
the principal of and interest, if any, on the Loans except in the case of a
sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all of the
Borrower’s assets that meets the requirements of Section 9.14
hereof.

Layering.

 

The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any
Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including
Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinate in right of payment to any Senior
Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such
Indebtedness is either:

 

103

 

(1)                                  pari passu in right of
payment with the Loans or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, as the case may be; or

 

(2)                                  expressly subordinated in
right of payment to the Loans or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, as the case may
be.

 

This agreement shall not treat (1) unsecured
Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because
it is unsecured or (2) Senior Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to
any other Senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with
respect to the same collateral.

 

SECTION 10.                                    [Reserved].

constitute an “Event of Default”:

 

(a)                                          default in payment when due
and payable, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise, of principal of, or

by Section 14 hereto);

 

(b)                                         default for 30 days or more
in the payment when due of interest on or with respect to the Loans (whether or
not such payment will be prohibited by Section 14 hereto);

Required Debt or (y) on or after the Interim Loan Conversion Date, Holders
holding at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Required Debt then
outstanding, to comply with any of its obligations, covenants or agreements
contained in Section 9.1;

 

(d)                                         (1)  failure by the

secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Borrower or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the payment of which is guaranteed by the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, other than Indebtedness owed to
the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee
now exists or is created after the issuance of the Loans, if both:

 

(i)                                     such default
either results from the failure to pay any principal of such Indebtedness at
its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods)
or relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any
such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or
holders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become due prior to
its stated maturity; and

 

(ii)                                  the principal

of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $100.0 million or more at any one
time outstanding;

that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay final
non-appealable judgments aggregating in excess of $100.0 million, which
final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged and unstayed for a period of more
than 60 days after such judgment becomes final, and in the event such judgment
is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any
creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed;

 

(g)                                         the Borrower or any of its

105

 

(h)                                 a court of competent
jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

 

(i)                                     is for relief against the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary
or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute
a Significant Subsidiary, in a proceeding in which the Borrower or any such
Restricted Subsidiaries, that is a Significant Subsidiary
or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute
a Significant Subsidiary, is to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent;

 

(ii)                                  appoints a

(i)                                             the Guarantee
of any Significant Subsidiary (or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that
together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) shall for any reason cease
to be in full force and effect or be declared null and void or any responsible
officer of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or group of
Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), as the
case may be, denies that it has any further liability under its Guarantee or
gives notice to such effect, other than by reason of the termination of this
Agreement or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with this Agreement.

 

(II)                                In the event of
any Event of Default specified in clause (d) of Section 11.1(I) hereof,

days after such Event of Default arose:

 

(a)                                  the Indebtedness or
guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or

(c)                                  the default that is the
basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

Event of Default, Waivers of Past Defaults.

 

(a)                                  If any Event of
Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of
Section 11.1(I) hereof) occurs and is continuing under this
Agreement, (x) prior to the Interim Loan Conversion Date, the
Administrative Agent may and, upon the written request of the Required Holders
of a majority of the Required Debt or (y) on or after the Interim Loan
Conversion Date, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the written request of
Required Holders holding at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of Required
Debt then outstanding shall declare the principal, premium, if any, interest
and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Loans to be due
and payable immediately. Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such
principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately; provided, however, that so long as any Indebtedness under
the Senior Secured Credit Agreement permitted to be incurred under this
Agreement shall be outstanding, no such acceleration shall be effective until
the earlier of:

 

(1)                                  acceleration of any such
Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement; or

 

(2)                                  five Business Days after the
giving of written notice of such acceleration to the Borrower and the
administrative agent under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement.

 

107

 

Upon the effectiveness of such declaration,
such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an
Event of Default arising under clause (g) or (h) of Section 11.1(I)
hereof, all outstanding Loans shall be due and payable immediately without further
action or notice.

 

(b)                                 The Required
Holders holding at least a majority of the Required Debt by notice to the
Administrative Agent may on behalf of all Lenders waive any existing Default
and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default in the payment of
the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Loans (held by a
Non-Consenting Lender) and rescind any acceleration with respect to the Loans
and its consequences (provided such rescission would not conflict with
any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; and that the Required
Holders holding at least a majority of the Required Debt may rescind an
acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that
resulted from such acceleration.  Upon
any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this
Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

11.17.                       Application of
Proceeds.  Any amount
received by the Administrative Agent from any Loan Party following any
acceleration of the Obligations under this Agreement or any Event of Default
with respect to the Borrower under Section 11.1(I)(g) or (h) shall
be applied:

 

(i)                                     first, to the
payment of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent in connection with any collection or sale or otherwise in
connection with any Loan Document, including all court costs and the reasonable
fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances
made by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on
behalf of any Loan Party and any other reasonable and documented costs or
expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy
hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

 

(ii)                                  second, to the
Guaranteed Parties, an amount (x) equal to all Obligations owing to them on
the date of any distribution and such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such
amounts in full, then ratably (without priority of any one over any other) to
such Guaranteed Parties in proportion to the unpaid amounts thereof; and

 

(iii)                               third, any surplus
then remaining shall be paid to the applicable Loan Parties or their successors
or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as
a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

respect to the Joint Lead Arrangers and Section 12.9 with respect
to the Borrower) are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and

or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read
into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the
Administrative Agent.

 

(b)                                         [Reserved].

this Agreement but shall be entitled to all benefits of this Section 12.

Documents by or through agents, sub-agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and
shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to
such duties.  The Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents,
subagents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction).

 

12.3.                             Exculpatory
Provisions.  No Agent nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall
be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by any
of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as
determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in
connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or (b) responsible
in any manner to any of the Lenders or any participant for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Borrower, any
Guarantor, any other Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement
or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under
or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the
value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Borrower,
any Guarantor or any other Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or
thereunder.  No Agent 

 

109

 

shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire
as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or
conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the
properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

 

12.4.                             Reliance
by Agents.  The Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy,
telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or instruction
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made
by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel
(including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by the Administrative Agent. 
The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the
Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for
all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer
thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified
in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the
Required Lenders or Required Holders holding a majority of the Required Debt
(as applicable) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may
be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action.  The Administrative Agent shall
in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the
Required Lenders or Required Holders holding a majority of the Required Debt
(as applicable), and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders
of the Loans; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required
to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may
expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable
law.  For purposes of determining
compliance with the conditions specified in Sections 6 and 7 on
the Original Closing Date, each Lender that signed the Original Senior Subordinated
Loan Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to
be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be
consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to
the Original Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

 

12.5.                             Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed
to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice
from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such
Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default.”  In the event that the
Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to
the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent
shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as
shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders or Required Holders
holding a majority of the Required Debt (as applicable), provided that
unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions,
the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action,
or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default
as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the
extent that this Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the
approval 

 

110

 

of the Required Lenders or Required Holders holding a majority of the
Required Debt (as applicable)or each of the Lenders, as applicable).

 

12.6.                             Non-Reliance on
Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. 
Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent
nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to
it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any
review of the affairs of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Loan Party,
shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative
Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender
represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal
of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, Guarantor and other Loan
Party and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this
Agreement.  Each Lender also represents
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
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial
and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, any Guarantor and any
other Loan Party.  Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders
by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have
any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial
condition, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any
other Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent
any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

 

12.7.                             Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in
its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and
without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), ratably
according to their respective portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect
on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is
sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the
Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective
portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect immediately prior to such date),
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the
payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent
in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any
of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to
herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any
action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with
any of the foregoing, provided that no Lender shall be liable to an
Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as
determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided,
further, that no action taken by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with the directions of the Required 

 

111

 

Lenders or Required Holders holding a majority of the Required Debt (as
applicable) (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders or Required
Holders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to
constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 12.7.  In the case of any investigation, litigation
or proceeding giving rise to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind whatsoever that may at any time occur (including at any time following the
payment of the Loans), this Section 12.7 applies whether any such
investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other
Person.  Without limitation of the
foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent upon demand for its ratable
share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice rendered in
respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent
that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the
Borrower, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not
affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect
thereto.  If any indemnity furnished to
any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient
or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or
not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional
indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence
require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation,
loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in
excess of such Lender’s pro rata
portion thereof; and provided,  further, this sentence shall not
be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability,
obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or
disbursement resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  The agreements in this Section 12.7
shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

12.8.                             Agents in Their
Individual Capacities.  Each Agent
and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage
in any kind of business with the Borrower, any Guarantor, and any other Loan
Party as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents.  With respect to the Loans
made by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same
as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall
include each Agent in its individual capacity.

 

12.9.                             Successor Agents.  The Administrative Agent may at any time give
notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation,
the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the
Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no Default
under Section 11.1 is continuing, to appoint a successor, which
shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any
such bank with an office in the United States. 
If no such 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
meeting the qualifications set forth above. 
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative
Agent hereunder, and upon the transfer
by the retiring (or retired) Agent to the successor Agent 

 

112

 

of
all sums, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate
in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Agent under
the Loan Documents, such successor shall succeed to and become vested
with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or
retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its
duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not
already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees
payable by the Borrower (following the effectiveness of such appointment) to
such Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless
otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring
Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions
of this Section 12 (including 12.7) and Section 13.5
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent,
its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative
Agent was acting as an Administrative Agent.

 

12.10.                       Withholding Tax.  To the extent required by any applicable law,
the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount
equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. 
If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or
other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not
properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for
any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not
delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify
the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the
exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective), such Lender
shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative
Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or
indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including
penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal
expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.

 

12.11.                       [Reserved].

 

12.12.                       Agents under Guarantee.  Each Guaranteed Party hereby further authorizes
the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Guaranteed
Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Guaranteed Parties with
respect to the Guarantees.  Subject to Section 13.1,
without further written consent or authorization from any Guaranteed Party, the
Administrative Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to in
connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement,
release any Guarantor from the Guarantee, or with respect to which Required Lenders
(or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 13.1)
have otherwise consented.

 

12.13.                       Right to Enforce Guarantee.  Anything contained in any of the Loan
Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Agents and each
Guaranteed Party hereby agree that no Guaranteed Party shall have any right
individually to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all
powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Guaranteed Parties in accordance with
the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Guarantee may be
exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Guaranteed
Parties.

 

113

 

SECTION 13.                                    Miscellaneous

 

13.1.                             Amendments, Waivers and
Releases.  (a)Neither this Agreement
nor any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended,
supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.1.  The Required Holders holding a majority of
the Required Debt may, or, with the written consent of the Required Holders
holding a majority of the Required Debt, the Administrative Agent may, from
time to time, (a) enter into with the relevant Loan Party or Loan Parties
written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan
Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of
the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder, (b) waive in writing, on such
terms and conditions as the Required Holders holding a majority of the Required
Debt or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such
instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences or (c) consent to amendments,
supplements or modifications to the form of the Senior Subordinated Refinancing
Indenture; provided, however, that each such waiver and
each such amendment, supplement or modification shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given and provided,
further, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or
modification shall (i) forgive or reduce any portion of any Loan or extend
the final scheduled maturity date of any Loan or reduce the stated rate (it
being understood that any change to the definition of Consolidated Leverage
Ratio or Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or in the component definitions thereof
shall not constitute a reduction in the rate and only the consent of the
Required Holders holding a majority of the Required Debt shall be necessary to
waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the “default rate” or
amend Section 2.8(c)), or forgive any portion, or extend the date
for the payment, of any interest or fee payable hereunder (other than as a result
of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates),
or extend the final expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment or increase the
aggregate amount of the Commitments of any Lender, or amend or modify any provisions
of Section 5.3(a) (with respect to the ratable allocation of
any payments only) and 13.8(a) and 13.20, or make any Loan,
interest, Fee or other amount payable in any currency other than expressly
provided herein, in each case without the written consent of each Lender
directly and adversely affected thereby (or,
in the case of any Fees, the written consent of the Administrative Agent),
or (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.1
or reduce the percentages specified in the definitions of the terms “Required
Holders,” consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of its rights
and obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party (except as
permitted pursuant to Section 9.14) or alter the order of application
set forth in Section 11.17, in each case without the written
consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (iii) amend,
modify or waive any provision of Section 12 without the written
consent of the then-current Administrative Agent in a manner that directly and
adversely affects such Person, (iv) release all or substantially all of
the Guarantors under the Guarantees (except as expressly permitted by the
Guarantees or this Agreement) except with the prior written consent of each
Lender or (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.14
without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected
thereby or (vi) amend or modify any provision of the Senior Subordinated
Refinancing Indenture that requires (or would, if any Senior Subordinated Notes
were outstanding, require) the approval of all holders of Senior Subordinated
Notes, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely
affected thereby.  Any 

 

114

 

such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall
apply equally to each of the affected Lenders and shall be binding upon the
Borrower, such Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the
affected Loans.  In the case of any
waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to
be cured and not continuing, it being understood that no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereon.  In connection
with the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no
obligations to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications,
waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender.

 

(a)                                  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, without notice to or the consent of any Lenders and without any
further action necessary by the parties hereto, effective as of the Initial
Loan Maturity Date, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms
contained in Sections 8, 9 and 11 of this Agreement and
the corresponding terms contained in the Senior Subordinated Refinancing
Indenture, such provisions of this Agreement shall be replaced with corresponding
provisions of the Senior Subordinated Refinancing Indenture, and, to the extent
necessary to give effect to the foregoing, each defined term used in the
sections of the Senior Subordinated Refinancing Indenture shall have the
meaning set forth in the Senior Subordinated Refinancing Indenture, subject to
the terms of Section 1.2(h), as applicable.  The applicable provisions of the Senior
Subordinated Refinancing Indenture as described in Exhibit B shall
be deemed incorporated and set forth in this Agreement to the extent necessary
to give effect to the foregoing.  In
furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent will (and the Lenders
hereby authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to), at the request of the
Borrower, enter into such technical amendments and other modifications to this
Agreement as are reasonably necessary to effect the foregoing.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve
or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment
of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such
Lender (it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held
by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder
requiring any consent of the Lenders).

 

(d)                                 The Lenders hereby
irrevocably agree that the Guarantors shall be released from the Guarantees and
no further action by such Guarantor, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
is required for the release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee, upon: (1)(A) 
any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of the Capital Stock of
such Guarantor (including any sale, exchange or transfer), after which the
applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or all or substantially
all the assets of such Guarantor which sale, exchange or transfer is made in
compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement; (B) the
release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of the Senior Secured
Credit Agreement or such other guarantee that resulted in the creation of such
Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under
such guarantee; (C) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a
Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with Section 9.5
hereof and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary” hereunder; or (D) the
Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement 

 

115

 

being
discharged in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (2) such
Guarantor delivering to the Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in
this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with.

 

(e)                                  The Lenders hereby
authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver any instruments,
documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the
release of any Guarantor pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph,
all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender.

 

(f)                                    Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, (i) if any amendment, waiver or other
modification would by its terms disproportionately affect the holders of any
one or more classes of Required Debt, such amendment, waiver or other
modification shall also require the consent of the holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding amount of such
class or classes of Required Debt, voting as a single class and (ii) if
any amendment, waiver or other modification would only affect the holders of
any one class of Required Debt, consent of the respective holders, if
applicable, holding at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding amount of such class of Required Debt, if any are outstanding,
and not the consent of the Required Holders of a majority of the Required Debt,
as the case may be, acting as a single class, shall be required

 

13.2.                        Notices.  Unless otherwise expressly provided herein,
all notices and other communications provided for hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission).  All such written notices shall be mailed,
faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or electronic
mail address, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted
hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone
number, as follows:

 

(a)                                  if to the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail
address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 13.2
or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone
number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties;
and

 

(b)                                 if to any Lender, to
the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number
specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address,
facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated
by such party in a notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 

All such notices and other communications
shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to occur of (i) actual
receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered by
hand or by courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party
hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, three (3) Business Days after
deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when
sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; and (D) if delivered by
electronic mail, when delivered; provided that notices and other
communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Sections
2.3, 2.6, 2.9 and 5.1 shall not be effective until
received.

 

116

 

13.3.                             No Waiver; Cumulative
Remedies.  No failure to exercise and
no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power
or privilege.  The rights, remedies,
powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

13.4.                             Survival of
Representations and Warranties.  All
representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and
in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in
connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the making of the Loans hereunder.

 

13.5.                             Payment of Expenses;
Indemnification.  The Borrower agrees
(a) to pay or reimburse the Agents for all their reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and
execution and delivery of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to,
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in
connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable
fees, disbursements and other charges of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP
and one counsel in each relevant local jurisdiction, (b) to pay or
reimburse each Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents, including the
reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of Cahill Gordon & Reindel
LLP,
as counsel to the Agents, or such other counsel retained with the Borrower’s
consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), (c) to pay,
indemnify, and hold harmless each Lender and Agent from, any and all recording
and filing fees and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Lender
and Agent and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees,
trustees, investment advisors and agents from and against any and all other
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever, including reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other
charges of one primary counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction
to such indemnified Persons (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of
interest or the availability of different claims or defenses in which case each
such Person may retain its own counsel), related to the Transactions
(including, without limitation, the Merger) or, with respect to the execution,
delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents and any other documents, including, without limitation,
any of the foregoing relating to the violation of, noncompliance with or
liability under, any Environmental Law (other than by such indemnified person
or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents) or to any actual
or alleged presence, release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials
involving or attributable to the operations of the Borrower, any of its
Subsidiaries or any of the Real Estate (all the foregoing in this clause (d),
collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”),
provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any
Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors,
employees or agents with respect to indemnified liabilities to the extent it
has been determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of the party 

 

117

 

to be indemnified or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors,
employees or agents, or (ii) any material breach of any Loan Document by
the party to be indemnified.  No Person
entitled to indemnification under clause (d) of this Section 13.5
shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any
information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar
information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall
any such Person have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential
damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of
its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the
Original Closing Date).  In the case of
an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this
Section 13.5 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or
not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party,
its directors, stockholders or creditors or any other Person, whether or not
any Person entitled to indemnification under clause (d) of this Section 13.5
is otherwise a party thereto.  All
amounts payable under this Section 13.5 shall be paid within ten
Business Days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting
forth such expense in reasonable retail. 
The agreements in this Section 13.5 shall survive repayment
of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

13.6.                        Successors
and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

 

(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 (i) except as expressly permitted by Section 10.3,
the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower
without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign
or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance
with this Section 13.6. 
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, Participants (to the extent provided
in clause (c) of this Section 13.6) and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each other Person entitled to
indemnification under Section 13.5) any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 (i) 
Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) below, any
Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written
consent (such consent not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being
understood that, without limitation, the Borrower shall have the right to
withhold or delay its consent to any assignment if, in order for such
assignment to comply with applicable law, the Borrower would be required to
obtain the consent of, or make any filing or registration with, any
Governmental Authority) of:

 

(A)                              the
Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for
an assignment to (1) a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund,
(2) if an Event of Default under Section 11.1(I)(a), (b),
(g) or (h) has occurred and is continuing, any other
assignee or (3) to a Person not more than 14 days following the Original 

 

118

 

Closing Date to the extent the
Borrower has previously consented to an allocation of Loans of Commitments in
an amount greater than or equal to the amount assigned to a Person in such time
period; and

 

(B)                                the Administrative
Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided
that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment
of any Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such
assignment shall be made to a natural person.

 

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

 

(A)                              except in the case of an
assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment
or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans 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 $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, unless each of
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such
consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 11.1(I)(a),
(b), (g) or (h) has occurred and is continuing; provided
further that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by Affiliates
of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting
the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;

 

(B)                                each partial assignment
shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

 

(C)                                The parties to each
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment
and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent, together with a processing and recordation fee in the
amount of $3,500 via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative
Agent; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole
discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of
any assignment;

 

(D)                               the assignee, if it
shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
administrative questionnaire in a form approved by the Administrative Agent
(the “Administrative Questionnaire”) and
applicable tax form; and

 

(E)                                 prior
to the Interim Loan Conversion Date, no Committed Lender shall assign to
another Lender (other than another Committed Lender) any Loans without the Borrower’s
prior consent if, after giving effect to such assignment, the Committed Lenders
would hold, in the aggregate, less than 51% of the aggregate principal amount
of outstanding Loans.

 

119

 

(iii)                               Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of
this Section 13.6, from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender
shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 5.4 and 13.5).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.6
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 clause (c) of
this Section 13.6.

 

(iv)                              The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment
and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names
and addresses of the Lenders, the Commitments of, and principal amount of the
Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  Further,
each Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent
and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this
Agreement.  The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the
terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. 
The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any
Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(v)                                 Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire
and applicable tax forms(unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of
this Section 13.6 and any written consent to such assignment
required by clause (b) of this Section 13.6, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and
record the information contained therein in the Register.

 

(c)                                  (i) 
Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, or the Administrative
Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitments and the Loans owing to it), provided that (A) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent 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 or any
other Loan Document, provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not,

 

120

 

without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i) of
the proviso to Section 13.1. 
that
affects such Participant.  Subject
to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 13.6, the Borrower
agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender
and provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the requirements
of those Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6.  To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.8(b) as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject
to Section 13.8(a) as though it were a Lender.

 

(ii)                                          A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10,
2.11 or 5.4 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 (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).  Each Lender that sells a participation shall,
acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register
on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal
amounts of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under
this Agreement (the “Participant Register”).  The entries in the Participant Register shall
be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Loan or
other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this
Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  Any such Participant Register shall be
available for inspection by the Administrative Agent at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(d)                                         Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at
any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 13.6
shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided
that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or
assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time
and from time to time after the Borrower has made its initial borrowing
hereunder, the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s own
expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit H,
evidencing the Loans, owing to such Lender.

 

(e)                                          Subject
to Section 13.16, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose
to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all
financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and
its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the
Borrower and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been
delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates in
connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its
Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

 

(f)                                            The
words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any
Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or
the 

 

121

 

keeping of records in electronic form, each
of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a
manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system,
as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law,
including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce
Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other
similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

 

(g)                                         SPV
Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by
the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to
provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender
would otherwise be obligated to make the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided
that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make
any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or
otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender
shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making
of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting
Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting
Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any
indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for
which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing,
each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination
of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after
the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior
indebtedness of any SPV, it shall not institute against, or join any other
person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings under the laws of the United
States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 13.6, any SPV may (i) with
notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all
or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any
financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent)
providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to
support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a
confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any
rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or
credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. This Section 13.6(g) may
not be amended without the written consent of the SPV. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) no SPV shall be entitled to any
greater rights under Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 than its
Granting Lender would have been entitled to absent the use of such SPV and (y) each
SPV agrees to be subject to the requirements of Sections 2.10, 2.11
and 5.4 as though it were a Lender and has acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6.

 

13.7.                             Replacements
of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.

 

(a)                                          The
Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests
reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.11
or 5.4, (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and
as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is
required to be taken or (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a
replacement 

 

122

 

bank or other financial institution, provided
that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no
Event of Default under Section 11.1 or 11.5 shall have
occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the
Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at
par) all Loans and other amounts (other than any disputed amounts), pursuant to
Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4, as the case may be) owing
to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the
replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and
conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, (v) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make
such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6
(provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration
and processing fee referred to therein) and (vi) any such replacement
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced
Lender.

 

(b)                                         If
any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”)
has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination
that pursuant to the terms of Section 13.1 requires the consent of
all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders
shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists,
the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants
such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such
Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one
or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided
that (a) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting
Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender
concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall
purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to
the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (c) the
Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender the amount, if any, owing to
such Lender pursuant to Section 5.1(b).  In connection with any such assignment, the
Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement
Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 13.6.

 

13.8.                             Adjustments;
Set-off.

 

(a)                                          If
any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any
time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or
receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily,
by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 11.1(I)(g) or
(h), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or
collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other
Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for
cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each
such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits
of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause
such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such
collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however,
that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered
from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase
price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without
interest.

 

123

 

(b)                                         After
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition
to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall
have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being
expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law,
upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at
the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate
and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits,
indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or
owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or
the account of the Borrower (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Settlement
Assets except to effect Settlement Payments such Lender is obligated to make to
a third party in respect of such Settlement Assets or as otherwise agreed in
writing between the Borrower and such Lender). 
Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application.

 

13.9.                             Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more
of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts
(including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument.  A set of the copies of this
Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent.

 

13.10.                       Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

13.11.                       Integration.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
represent the agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises,
undertakings, representations or warranties by the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent nor any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth
or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Fee Letter
and the Engagement Letter remain in full force and effect in accordance with
their terms.

 

13.12.                       GOVERNING
LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS
AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

13.13.                       Submission
to Jurisdiction; Waivers.  The
Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

(a)                                          submits
for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition
and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive
general 

 

124

 

jurisdiction of the courts of the State of
New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District
of New York and appellate courts from any thereof;

 

(b)                                         consents
that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or
proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in
an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

 

(c)                                          agrees
that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by
mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially
similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Person at its address set forth
on Schedule 13.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative
Agent shall have been notified pursuant to Section 13.2;

 

(d)                                         agrees
that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any
other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction;
and

 

(e)                                          waives,
to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or
recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 13.13
any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

 

13.14.                       Acknowledgments.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

 

(a)                                          it
has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

 

(b)                                         (i) the
Loans provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in
connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or
other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length
commercial transaction between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Agents on the other hand, and
the Borrower and the other Loan Parties are capable of evaluating and
understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the
transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any
amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in
connection with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Administrative
Agent and the other Agents, is and has been acting solely as a principal and is
not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, any other Loan
Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or
employees or any other Person; (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor
any other Agent has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary
responsibility in favor of the Borrower or any other Loan Party with respect to
any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto,
including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or
of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or
other Agent has advised or is currently advising the Borrower, the other Loan
Parties or their respective Affiliates on other matters) and neither the
Administrative Agent or other Agent has any obligation to the Borrower, the
other Loan Parties or their respective 

 

125

 

Affiliates with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in
the other Loan Documents; (iv) the Administrative Agent, each other Agent
and each Affiliate of the foregoing may be engaged in a broad range of
transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and
its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent has
any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory,
agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) neither the Administrative Agent
nor any other Agent has provided and none will provide any legal, accounting,
regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated
hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any
other Loan Document) and the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting,
regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate.  The Borrower hereby waives and releases, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the
Administrative Agent or any other Agent with respect to any breach or alleged
breach of agency or fiduciary duty; and

 

(c)                                          no
joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise
exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or
among the Borrower, on the one hand, and any Lender, on the other hand.

 

13.15.                       WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL.  THE BORROWER, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION
OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY
COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

 

13.16.                       Confidentiality.  The Administrative Agent, each other Agent
and each Lender shall hold all non-public information furnished by or on behalf
of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such Lender’s
evaluation of whether to become a Lender hereunder or obtained by such Lender,
the Administrative Agent or such other Agent pursuant to the requirements of
this Agreement (“Confidential Information”),
confidential in accordance with its customary procedure for handling
confidential information of this nature and (in the case of a Lender that is a
bank) in accordance with safe and sound banking practices and in any event may
make disclosure as required or requested by any governmental, regulatory or
self-regulatory agency or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process
or applicable law or regulation or (a) to such Lender’s or the
Administrative Agent’s or other Agent’s attorneys, professional advisors, independent
auditors, trustees or Affiliates, (b) to an investor or prospective
investor in a Securitization that agrees its access to information regarding
the Loan Parties, the Loans and the Loan Documents is solely for purposes of
evaluating an investment in a Securitization and who agrees to treat such
information as confidential, (c) to a trustee, collateral manager,
servicer, backup servicer, noteholder or secured party in connection with the
administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for
a securitization and who agrees to treat such information as confidential and (d) to
a nationally recognized ratings agency that requires access to information
regarding the Loan Parties, the Loans and Loan Documents in connection with ratings
issued with respect to a Securitization; provided that unless
specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender, the
Administrative Agent and each other Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to notify the Borrower of any request made to such Lender, the 

 

126

 

Administrative
Agent or such other Agent by any governmental, regulatory or self regulatory
agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection
with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such agency)
for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such
information, and provided  further that in no event shall any
Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Agent be obligated or required to
return any materials furnished by the Borrower or any Subsidiary.  Each Lender, the Administrative Agent and
each other Agent agrees that it will not provide to prospective Transferees or
to any pledgee referred to in Section 13.6 or to prospective direct
or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements to be entered into in
connection with Loans made hereunder any of the Confidential Information unless
such Person is advised of and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.16
or confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those set forth in
this Section 13.16.

 

13.17.                       Direct
Website Communications.

 

(a)                                          The
Borrower may, at its option, provide to the Administrative Agent any
information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to
the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, without
limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other
reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such
communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of
an existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of
an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (B) relates to the
payment of any principal or other amount due under the Senior Secured Credit
Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (C) provides notice of any
default or event of default under this Agreement or (D) is required to be
delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Senior
Secured Credit Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit
thereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein
collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting
the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent at an email
address provided by the Administrative Agent from time to time; provided
that: (i) upon written request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent for
further distribution to each Lender until a written request to cease delivering
paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Borrower
shall notify (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) the Administrative
Agent of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative
Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such
documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for timely accessing posted
documents or requesting delivery of paper copies of such documents from the
Administrative Agent and maintaining its copies of such documents.  Nothing in this Section 13.17
shall prejudice the right of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any other
Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any
Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

 

The Administrative Agent agrees that the
receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address
set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to
the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents.  Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as
provided in the next sentence) specifying that the 

 

127

 

Communications have been posted to the
Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such
Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. 
Each Lender agrees (A) to notify the Administrative Agent in
writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such
Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic
transmission and (B) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail
address.

 

(b)                                         The
Borrower further agrees that any Agent may make the Communications available to
the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially
similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”),
so long as the access to such Platform (i) is limited to the Agents and
the Lenders and Transferees or Prospective Transferees and (ii) remains
subject to the confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 13.16.

 

(c)                                          THE
PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”.  THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT
WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY
OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS
FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS.  NO WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR
FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN
CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or
any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent
Parties” and each an “Agent Party”)
have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, or any other Person for losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract
or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s
transmission of Borrower Materials through the internet, except to the extent
the liability of any Agent Party resulted from such Agent Party’s (or any of
its Related Parties’ (other than any trustee or advisor)) gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct or material breach of the Loan Documents.

 

(d)                                         The
Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side”
Lenders (Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information
with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities) and, if
documents or notices required to be delivered pursuant to the Loan Documents or
otherwise are being distributed through the Platform, any document or notice
that the Borrower has indicated contains only publicly available information
with respect to the Borrower may be posted on that portion of the Platform designated
for such public-side Lenders.  If the
Borrower has not indicated whether a document or notice delivered contains only
publicly available information, the Administrative Agent shall post such
document or notice solely on that portion of the Platform designated for
Lenders who wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to the
Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their securities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to indicate whether any document or notice
contains only publicly available information.

 

13.18.                       USA
PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender hereby
notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act
(Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law 

 

128

 

October 26,
2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which
information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other
information that will allow such Lender to identify each Loan Party in accordance
with the Patriot Act.

 

13.19.                       Judgment
Currency.  If, for the purposes of
obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder
or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange
used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the
Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency
on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.  The obligation of the Borrower in respect of
any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a
currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that
in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”),
be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by
the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment
Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking
procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so
purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from
the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate
obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the
Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such
loss.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency
so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent
in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any
excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto
under applicable law).

 

13.20.                       Payments
Set Aside.  To the extent that any
payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or
any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the
proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its
discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of
such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had
not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender
severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable
share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest
thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate
per annum equal to the applicable Overnight
Rate from time to time in effect.

 

13.21.                  Acknowledgements
Relating to the Closing Date.  Each
Loan Party hereby (i) expressly acknowledges the terms of this Agreement, (ii) ratifies
and affirms its obligations under the Loan Documents executed by such Loan
Party and (iii) acknowledges, renews and extends its continued liability
under all such Loan Documents and agrees such Loan Documents remain in full
force and effect, including with respect to the obligations of the Borrower as
modified by this Agreement.

 

129

 

SECTION 14.                          Subordination.

 

14.1.                        Agreement
To Subordinate.  The Borrower agrees,
and each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees, that the payment of all principal, premium, if any, and
interest on Indebtedness under this Agreement is subordinated in right of
payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 14,
to the prior payment in full of all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of
the Borrower, and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable
by the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. 
The Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred under this Agreement
shall in all respects rank pari passu in
right of payment with all existing and future Senior Subordinated Indebtedness
of the Borrower, and will be senior in right of payment to all existing and
future Subordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower; and only Indebtedness of the
Borrower that is Senior Indebtedness shall rank senior to the Indebtedness that
is permitted to be incurred under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions
set forth herein.

 

14.2.                        Liquidation,
Dissolution or Bankruptcy.  Upon any payment or distribution of the
assets of the Borrower to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a
total or partial dissolution of the Borrower or in a reorganization,
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership of or similar proceeding relating to the
Borrower or its property:

 

(i)                                     the holders of
Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower shall be entitled to receive payment in
full of such Senior Indebtedness in cash or Permitted Investments before
Lenders shall be entitled to receive any payment; and

 

(ii)                                  until the Senior
Indebtedness of the Borrower is paid in full in cash or Permitted Investments,
any payment or distribution to which Lenders would be entitled but for this Section 14
shall be made to holders of such Senior Indebtedness as their interests may
appear, except that Lenders may receive Permitted Junior Securities.

 

14.3.                        Default
on Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower. 
The Borrower shall not pay principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
the Loans (or pay any other Obligations relating to the Loans, including fees,
costs, expenses, indemnities and rescission or damage claims) and may not
purchase, redeem or otherwise retire any Loans (collectively, “pay the Loans”) (except in the form of Permitted Junior
Securities) if either of the following occurs (a “Payment Default”):

 

(i)                                     any Obligation on
any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower is not paid in full in cash
or Permitted Investments when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace
periods); or

 

(ii)                                  any other default on
Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower occurs and the maturity of such
Designated Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms;

 

unless, in either case, the
Payment Default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been
rescinded or such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash
or Permitted Investments; provided, however, that the Borrower
shall be entitled to pay the Loans 

 

130

 

without regard to the foregoing
if the Borrower and the Administrative Agent receive written notice approving
such payment from the Representatives of all Designated Senior Indebtedness
with respect to which the Payment Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

During the continuance of any default (other
than a Payment Default) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness of
the Borrower pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated without
further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such
acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods (a “Non-Payment Default”), the Borrower shall not pay the Loans
(except in the form of Permitted Junior Securities) for a period (a “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing upon the receipt by the
Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) of written notice (a “Blockage Notice”) of such Non-Payment Default from the
Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to
effect a Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter.  So long as there shall remain outstanding any
Senior Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, a Blockage Notice
may be given only by the administrative agent thereunder unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by the requisite lenders named therein.  The Payment Blockage Period shall end earlier
if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated (i) by written notice to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower from the Person or Persons who gave such
Blockage Notice; (ii) because the Non-Payment Default giving rise to such
Blockage Notice is cured, waived or otherwise no longer continuing; or (iii) because
such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been discharged or repaid in full in
cash or Permitted Investments.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions described in
the immediately preceding two sentences (but subject to the provisions
contained in the first sentence of this Section 14.3 and Section 14.2
hereof), unless the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative
of such Designated Senior Indebtedness shall have accelerated the maturity of
such Designated Senior Indebtedness or a Payment Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrower shall be entitled to resume paying the Loans after the
end of such Payment Blockage Period.  The
Loans shall not be subject to more than one Payment Blockage Period in any
consecutive 360-day period irrespective of the number of defaults with respect
to Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower during such period; provided that if any Blockage
Notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the holders
of Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower (other than the holders of
Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement), a Representative of
holders of Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement may give
another Blockage Notice within such period. 
However, in no event shall the total number of days during which any
Payment Blockage Period or Periods on the Loans is in effect exceed 179 days in
the aggregate during any consecutive 360-day period, and there must be at least
181 days during any consecutive 360-day period during which no Payment Blockage
Period is in effect.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, no default that existed or was continuing on the date of
delivery of any Blockage Notice to the Administrative Agent shall be, or be
made, the basis for a subsequent Blockage Notice unless such default shall have
been waived for a period of not less than 90 days (it being acknowledged that
any subsequent action, or any breach of any financial covenants during the
period after the date of delivery of a Blockage Notice, that, in either case,
would give rise to a Non-Payment Default pursuant to any provisions under which
a Non-Payment Default previously existed or was continuing shall constitute a
new Non-Payment Default for this purpose).

 

131

 

14.4.                        Acceleration
of Payment of Loans.  If payment of
the Loans is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall
promptly notify the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness of the
Borrower or the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness of the
acceleration; provided that any failure to give such notice shall have
no effect whatsoever on the provisions of this Section 14.  If any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the
Borrower is outstanding, the Borrower may not pay the Loans until five Business
Days after the Representatives of each Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower
receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, the Borrower may pay the
Loans only if this Section 14 otherwise permits payment at that
time.

 

14.5.                        When
Distribution Must Be Paid Over.  If a
distribution is made to Lenders that, due to the provisions of this Section 14,
should not have been made to them, such Lenders are required to hold it in
trust for holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower and pay it over to
them as their interests may appear.

 

14.6.                        Subrogation.  After all Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower
is paid in full in cash or Permitted Investments and until the Loans are paid
in full, Lenders shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Senior
Subordinated Indebtedness pari passu with the Loans) to the rights of holders
of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower to receive distributions applicable to
such Senior Indebtedness.  A distribution
made under this Section 14 to holders of such Senior Indebtedness
that otherwise would have been made to Lenders is not, as between the Borrower
and Lenders, a payment by the Borrower on such Senior Indebtedness.

 

14.7.                        Relative
Rights.  This Section 14
defines the relative rights of Lenders and holders of Senior Indebtedness of
the Borrower.  Nothing in this Agreement
shall:

 

(i)                                     impair, as between
the Borrower and Lenders, the obligation of the Borrower, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the Loans in accordance with
their terms;

 

(ii)                                  prevent the
Administrative Agent or any Lender from exercising its available remedies upon
a Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness of the
Borrower to receive payments or distributions otherwise payable to Lenders and
such other rights of such holders of Senior Indebtedness as set forth herein;
or

 

(iii)                               affect the relative
rights of Lenders and creditors of the Borrower, other than rights of Lenders
in relation to holders of Senior Indebtedness.

 

14.8.                        Subordination
May Not Be Impaired by Borrower. 
No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower to enforce
the subordination of the Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under this
Agreement shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Borrower or by
its failure to comply with this Agreement.

 

14.9.                        Rights
of Administrative Agent and Paying Agent. 
Each Agent in its individual or any other capacity shall be entitled to
hold Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower with the same rights it would have if
it were not an Agent.  The Agent shall be
entitled to all the rights set forth in this Section 14 with
respect to any Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower which may at

 

132

 

any time be
held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior
Indebtedness.  Nothing in this Section 14
shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Agent under or pursuant to Section 13.5
hereof or any other Section of this Agreement.

 

14.10.        Distribution or Notice to
Representative.  Whenever a
distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness
of the Borrower, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their
Representative (if any).

 

14.11.        Section 14 Not To Prevent Events
of Default or Limit Right To Accelerate. 
The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Loans by reason of any
provision in this Section 14 shall not be construed as preventing
the occurrence of a Default.  Subject to Section 14.4,
nothing in this Section 14 shall have any effect on the right of
the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to accelerate the maturity of the
Loans.

 

14.12.        Subordination of Subsidiary
Guarantees.  The obligations of each
Guarantor under its Guarantee are subordinated in right of payment to the
obligations of such Guarantor under its Senior Indebtedness in the same manner
and to the same extent that the Loans are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness
of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 14.

 

14.13.        Reliance
by Lenders of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower on Subordination Provisions.  Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and
are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior
Indebtedness of the Borrower, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or
acquired before or after the Closing Date, to acquire and continue to hold, or
to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of such Senior
Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination
provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such
Senior Indebtedness.

 

Without in any way limiting the generality of
the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower
may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders, without incurring responsibility to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders and without impairing or releasing the subordination
provided in this Section 14 or the obligations hereunder of the
Lenders to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower, do any one
or more of the following:  (i) change the manner, place or terms
of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness
of the Borrower, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior
Indebtedness of the Borrower, or any instrument evidencing the same or any
agreement under which Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower is outstanding; (ii) sell,
exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or
otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower; (iii) release any
Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of Senior
Indebtedness of the Borrower; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising
any rights against the Borrower and any other Person.

 

133
