A Participant’s Deferral Election for a Plan Year is
irrevocable for that applicable Plan Year; provided, however that a Deferral
Election for a Plan Year may be canceled if required under Section 6.8
(Unforeseeable Emergency) of this Plan. 
Such amounts deferred under the Plan shall not be made available to such

(a)                                  A Deferral Election
with respect to any Compensation must be submitted to the Administrator before

to which it relates.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the
foregoing and in the discretion of the Plan Sponsor, in a year in which an
Eligible Director is first eligible to participate, and provided that such
Eligible Director is not eligible to participate in any other similar account
balance arrangement subject to Code Section 409A, such Deferral Election
may be submitted within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Eligible
Director is first eligible to participate, and such Deferral 

 

3

 

Election shall apply to Compensation to be paid for services to be
performed during the remainder of the calendar year after such election is
made.

 

3.3                               Distribution Elections

 

At the time a Participant makes a
Deferral Election, he or she must also elect the time and form of the
distribution by establishing one or more In-Service Account(s) or
Retirement Account(s) as provided in Sections 5.1 and 6.1.  If the Participant fails to properly

be designated as a Retirement Account and shall be paid in a lump sum.

 

3.4                               Additional Requirements

following additional requirements, or as otherwise required by the
Administrator in its sole discretion:

may be deferred each Plan Year is one-hundred percent (100%) of the Participant’s
Compensation.

 

(c)                                  The distribution year for an In-Service
Account must be at least two (2) Plan Years subsequent to the Plan Year in
which the Participant first establishes the In-Service subaccount to be
credited with contributions.

 

3.5                               Crediting of Contributions

 

Deferrals shall be credited to a
Participant’s Account, and if applicable transferred to the Trust, at such time

Article 5 -
Accounts

 

5.1                               Accounts

 

The Administrator shall establish and maintain a
bookkeeping account in the name of each Participant.  The Administrator shall also establish
sub-accounts as provided in subsection (a) and (b), below, as elected by
the Participant pursuant to Article 3. 
A Participant may have a maximum of ten (10) sub-accounts at any
time.

 

(a)                                  A Participant may establish one or more
Retirement Account(s) (“Retirement sub-accounts”) by designating as such on
the Participant’s Deferral Election. 
Each Participant’s Retirement sub-account shall be credited with
Deferrals (as specified in the 

 

4

 

Participant’s
Deferral Election) and the Participant’s allocable share of any earnings or
losses on the foregoing.

 

(b)                                 A Participant may establish one or more
In-Service Accounts (“In-Service sub-accounts”) by designating as such in the
Participant’s Deferral Election the year in which payment shall be made.  Each Participant’s In-Service sub-account
shall be credited with Deferrals (as specified in the Participant’s Deferral
Election) and the Participant’s allocable share of any earnings or losses on
the foregoing.

 

5.2                               Investments, Gains and Losses

 

(a)                                  A Participant may direct that his or her
Retirement sub-accounts and or In-Service sub-accounts established pursuant to Section 5.1
may be valued as if they were invested in one or more Investment Funds as
selected by the Plan Sponsor in multiples of one percent (1%).  The Plan Sponsor may from time to time, at the discretion of the Administrator, change the
Investment Funds for purposes of this Plan.

 

(b)                                 The Administrator shall adjust the
amounts credited to each Participant’s Account to reflect Deferrals, investment
experience, distributions and any other appropriate adjustments.  Such adjustments shall be made as frequently
as is administratively feasible.

 

(c)                                  A Participant may change his or her
selection of Investment Funds no more than six (6) times each Plan Year with respect to his or her Account or sub-accounts
by filing a new election in accordance with procedures established by the
Administrator.  An election shall
be effective as soon as administratively feasible following the date the change
is submitted on a form prescribed by the Administrator.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding the
Participant’s ability to designate the Investment Fund in which his or her
deferred Compensation shall be deemed invested, the Plan Sponsor shall have no
obligation to invest any funds in accordance with the Participant’s
election.  Participants’ Accounts shall
merely be bookkeeping entries on the Plan Sponsor’s books, and no Participant
shall obtain any property right or interest in any Investment Fund.

 

Article 6 -
Distributions

 

6.1                               Distribution Election

 

Each Participant shall designate in his or her
Deferral Election the form and timing of his or her distribution by indicating
the type of sub-account as described under Section 5.1, and by designating
the form in which payments shall be made from the choices available under Section 6.2
and 6.3 hereof.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein provided, no acceleration of the time or
schedule of payments under the Plan shall occur except as permitted under this
Plan, Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder.

 

6.2                               Distributions Upon an
In-Service Account Triggering Date

 

In-Service sub-account distributions
shall begin as soon as administratively feasible but no later than ninety (90)
days following January 1 of the calendar year designated by the 

 

5

 

Participant
on a properly submitted Deferral Election, and are payable in either a lump-sum
payment or substantially equal annual installments, as described in Section 6.4
below, over a period of up to ten (10) years as elected by the Participant
in his or her Deferral Election.  If the
Participant fails to properly designate the form of the distribution, the
sub-account shall be paid in a lump-sum payment.

 

6.3                               Distributions Upon
Retirement

 

If the Participant has a Separation
from Service, the Participant’s Retirement sub-account(s) shall be
distributed as soon as administratively feasible but no later than ninety (90)
days following Participant’s Retirement, provided that the Participant shall
have no right to designate the taxable year of the payment.  Distribution shall be made either in a
lump-sum payment or in substantially equal annual installments, as defined in Section 6.4
below, over a period of up to ten (10) years as elected by the
Participant.  If the Participant fails to
properly designate the form of the distribution, the sub-account shall be paid
in a lump-sum payment.  If a Participant
has any In-Service sub-accounts at the time of his or her Retirement, said sub-accounts
shall not be distributed at Retirement; rather they shall be distributed
according to the Participant’s Deferral Election as it applies to that
sub-account.

 

6.4                               Substantially Equal
Annual Installments

 

(a)                                  The amount of the
substantially equal payments shall be determined by multiplying the Participant’s
Account or sub-account by a fraction, the denominator of which in the first
year of payment equals the number of years over which benefits are to be paid,
and the numerator of which is one (1).  The
amounts of the payments for each succeeding year shall be determined by
multiplying the Participant’s Account or sub-account as of the applicable
anniversary of the payout by a fraction, the denominator of which equals the
number of remaining years over which benefits are to be paid, and the numerator
of which is one (1). Installment payments made pursuant to this Section 6.4
shall be made as soon as administratively feasible but no later than ninety
(90) days following the distribution event and each anniversary of the
distribution event, provided that the Participant shall have no right to
designate the taxable year of any payment.

 

(b)                                 For purposes of the
Plan pursuant to Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder, a series of
annual installments from a particular subaccount shall be considered a single
payment.

 

6.5                               Distributions upon
Death

 

Upon the death of a Participant, all
amounts credited to his or her Account shall be paid, as soon as
administratively feasible but no later than ninety (90) days following
Participant’s date of death, to his or her beneficiary or beneficiaries, as
determined under Article 7 hereof, in a lump sum, provided that the
beneficiary or beneficiaries shall have no right to designate the taxable year
of the payment.

 

6.6                               Changes to Distribution Elections

 

A Participant will be permitted to elect to change the
form or timing of the distribution of the balance of his or her one or more
sub-accounts within his or her Account to the extent 

 

6

 

permitted and in
accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C), including
the requirement that (i) a redeferral election may not take effect until
at least twelve (12) months after such election is filed with the Plan Sponsor,
(ii) an election to further defer a distribution (other than a
distribution upon death or an unforeseeable emergency) must result in the first
distribution subject to the election being made at least five (5) years
after the previously elected date of distribution, and (iii) any
redeferral election affecting a distribution at a fixed date must be filed with
the Plan Sponsor at least twelve (12) months before the first scheduled payment
under the previous fixed date distribution election.  Once a sub-account begins distribution, no
such changes to distributions shall be permitted.

 

6.7                               Acceleration or Delay in Payments

 

To the extent permitted by Code Section 409A, and
notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Administrator,
in its sole discretion, may elect to (i) accelerate the time or form of
payment of a benefit owed to a Participant hereunder in accordance with the
terms and subject to the conditions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(j)(4),
or (ii) delay the time of payment of a benefit owed to a Participant
hereunder in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(7).

 

6.8                               Unforeseeable Emergency

 

The Administrator may permit an early distribution of
part or all of any deferred amounts; provided, however, that such distribution
shall be made only if the Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines
that the Participant, or the Participant’s beneficiary, has experienced an
Unforeseeable Emergency.  An
Unforeseeable Emergency is defined as a severe financial hardship resulting
from an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, the
Participant’s beneficiary, or a dependent (as defined in Code Section 152(a))
of the Participant, loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or
other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result
of events beyond the control of the Participant.  If an Unforeseeable Emergency is determined
to exist, a distribution may not exceed the amounts necessary to satisfy such
emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a
result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such
hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance
or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the
liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial
hardship).  Upon a distribution to a
Participant under this Section 6.10, the Participant’s Deferrals shall
cease and no further Deferrals shall be made for such Participant for the
remainder of the Plan Year and for the immediately succeeding Plan Year.

 

6.9                               Domestic Relations Orders

 

The Administrator may permit the acceleration of the
time or schedule of a payment under the Plan to an individual other than a
Participant as may be necessary to fulfill a domestic relations order (as
defined in Code Section 414(p)(1)(B)).

 

6.10                        Minimum Distribution

 

Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary, if the balance of a Participant’s Account at the time of a
distribution event or at the time of a scheduled installment payment does not
exceed $15,000 (or, if less, the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g)),
then the Participant shall be paid his or her Account as a single lump sum, provided that
the distribution 

 

7

 

results in the
termination and liquidation of the Participant’s entire interest in the
Plan, including all agreements, methods, programs or other arrangements with
respect to which deferrals of compensation are treated as having been deferred
under a single plan under the plan aggregation rules of Code Section 409A
and regulations thereunder.

 

6.11                        Form of Payment

 

All distributions shall be made in
the form of cash.

 

Article 7 -
Beneficiaries

 

7.1                               Beneficiaries

 

Each Participant may from time to time designate one
or more persons (who may be any one or more members of such person’s family or
other persons, administrators, trusts, foundations or other entities) as his or
her beneficiary under the Plan.  Such
designation shall be made in a form prescribed by the Administrator.  Each Participant may at any time and from
time to time, change any previous beneficiary designation, without notice to or
consent of any previously designated beneficiary, by amending his or her
previous designation in a form prescribed by the Administrator.  If the beneficiary does not survive the
Participant (or is otherwise unavailable to receive payment), or if no beneficiary
is validly designated then the amounts payable under this Plan shall be paid to
the Participant’s estate.  If more than
one person is the beneficiary of a deceased Participant, each such person shall
receive a pro rata share of any death benefit payable unless otherwise
designated in the applicable form.  If a
beneficiary who is receiving benefits dies, all benefits that were payable to
such beneficiary shall then be payable to the estate of that beneficiary.

 

7.2                               Lost Beneficiary

 

All Participants and beneficiaries shall have the
obligation to keep the Administrator informed of their current address until
such time as all benefits due have been paid. 
If a Participant or beneficiary cannot be located by the Administrator
exercising due diligence, then, in its sole discretion, the Administrator may
presume that the Participant or beneficiary is deceased for purposes of the
Plan and all unpaid amounts (net of due diligence expenses) owed to the
Participant or beneficiary shall be paid accordingly or, if a beneficiary
cannot be so located, then such amounts may be forfeited.  Any such presumption of death shall be final,
conclusive and binding on all parties.

 

Article 8 -
Funding

 

8.1                               Prohibition Against Funding

 

Should any investment be acquired in connection with
the liabilities assumed under this Plan, it is expressly understood and agreed
that the Participants and beneficiaries shall not have any right with respect
to, or claim against, such assets nor shall any such purchase be construed to
create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Plan Sponsor
and the Participants, their beneficiaries or any other person.  Any such assets shall be and remain a part of
the general, unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Plan Sponsor, subject to the
claims of its general creditors.  It is
the express intention of the parties hereto that this arrangement shall be
unfunded for tax purposes.  Each
Participant and beneficiary shall be required to look to the 

 

8

 

provisions of this Plan
and to the Plan Sponsor itself for enforcement of any and all benefits due
under this Plan, and to the extent any such person acquires a right to receive
payment under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any
unsecured general creditor of the Plan Sponsor. 
The Plan Sponsor or the Trust shall be designated the owner and
beneficiary of any investment acquired in connection with its obligation under
this Plan.

 

8.2                               Deposits in Trust

 

Notwithstanding Section 8.1, or any other
provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Plan Sponsor may deposit into the
Trust any amounts it deems appropriate to pay the benefits under this
Plan.  The amounts so deposited may
include all contributions made pursuant to a Deferral Election by a
Participant.

 

8.3                               Withholding of Participant Contributions

 

The Administrator is authorized to make any and all
necessary arrangements with the Plan Sponsor in order to withhold the
Participant’s Deferrals under Section 3.1 hereof from his or her
Compensation.  The Administrator shall
determine the amount and timing of such withholding.

 

Article 9 -
General Provisions

 

9.1                               Administrator

 

(a)                                  The Administrator is expressly empowered
to limit the amount of Compensation that may be deferred; to deposit amounts
into the Trust in accordance with Section 8.2 hereof; to interpret the
Plan, and to determine all questions arising in the administration,
interpretation and application of the Plan; to employ actuaries, accountants,
counsel, and other persons it deems necessary in connection with the
administration of the Plan; to request any information from the Plan Sponsor it
deems necessary to determine whether the Plan Sponsor would be considered
insolvent or subject to a proceeding in bankruptcy; and to take all other
necessary and proper actions to fulfill its duties as Administrator.

 

(b)                                 The Administrator shall not be liable for
any actions by it hereunder, unless due to its own negligence, willful
misconduct or lack of good faith.

 

(c)                                  The Administrator shall be indemnified
and saved harmless by the Plan Sponsor from and against all personal liability
to which it may be subject by reason of any act done or omitted to be done in
its official capacity as Administrator in good faith in the administration of
the Plan and Trust, including all expenses reasonably incurred in its defense
in the event the Plan Sponsor fails to provide such defense upon the request of
the Administrator.  The Administrator is
relieved of all responsibility in connection with its duties hereunder to the
fullest extent permitted by law, short of breach of duty to the beneficiaries.

 

9.2                               No Assignment

 

Benefits or payments under this Plan shall not be
subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment,
pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant
or the Participant’s beneficiary, whether voluntary or involuntary, and 

 

9

 

any attempt to so
anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, attach or
garnish the same shall not be valid, nor shall any such benefit or payment be
in any way liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities,
engagement or torts of any Participant or beneficiary, or any other person
entitled to such benefit or payment pursuant to the terms of this Plan, except
to such extent as may be required by law. 
If any Participant or beneficiary or any other person entitled to a
benefit or payment pursuant to the terms of this Plan becomes bankrupt or
attempts to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber,
attach or garnish any benefit or payment under this Plan, in whole or in part,
or if any attempt is made to subject any such benefit or payment, in whole or in
part, to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the
Participant or beneficiary or any other person entitled to any such benefit or
payment pursuant to the terms of this Plan, then such benefit or payment, in
the discretion of the Administrator, shall cease and terminate with respect to
such Participant or beneficiary, or any other such person.

 

9.3                               Incompetence

 

If the Administrator determines that any person to
whom a benefit is payable under this Plan is incompetent by reason of physical
or mental disability, the Administrator shall have the power to cause the
payments becoming due to such person to be made to another for his or her
benefit without responsibility of the Administrator or the Plan Sponsor to see
to the application of such payments.  Any
payment made pursuant to such power shall, as to such payment, operate as a
complete discharge of the Plan Sponsor, the Administrator and the Trustee.

 

9.4                               Identity

 

If, at any time, any doubt exists as to the identity
of any person entitled to any payment hereunder or the amount or time of such
payment, the Administrator shall be entitled to hold such sum until such
identity or amount or time is determined or until an order of a court of
competent jurisdiction is obtained.  The
Administrator shall also be entitled to pay such sum into court in accordance
with the appropriate rules of law. 
Any expenses incurred by the Plan Sponsor, Administrator, and Trust
incident to such proceeding or litigation shall be charged against the Account
of the affected Participant.

 

9.5                               Expenses

 

All expenses incurred in the administration of the
Plan whether incurred by the Plan Sponsor or the Plan shall be paid by the Plan
Sponsor.

 

9.6                               Insolvency

 

Should the Plan Sponsor be considered insolvent (as
defined by the Trust), the Plan Sponsor, through its Board and chief executive
officer, shall give immediate written notice of such to the Administrator of
the Plan and the Trustee.  Upon receipt
of such notice, the Administrator or Trustee shall cease to make any payments
to Participants or their beneficiaries and shall hold any and all assets
attributable to the Plan Sponsor for the benefit of the general creditors of
the Plan Sponsor.

 

9.7                               Amendment or Modification

 

The Plan Sponsor may, at any time,
in its sole discretion, amend or modify the Plan in whole or in part, except
that no such amendment or modification shall have any retroactive effect 

 

10

 

to
reduce any amounts allocated to a Participant’s Accounts, and provided that
such amendment or modification complies with Code Section 409A and related
regulations thereunder.

 

9.8                               Plan Suspension

 

The Plan Sponsor further reserves
the right to suspend the Plan in whole or in part, except that no such
suspension shall have any retroactive effect to reduce any amounts allocated to
a Participant’s Accounts, and provided that the distribution of the vested
Participant Accounts shall not be accelerated but shall be paid at such time
and in such manner as determined under the terms of the Plan immediately prior
to suspension as if the Plan had not been suspended.

 

9.9                               Plan Termination

 

The Plan Sponsor further reserves
the right to terminate the Plan in whole or in part, in the following manner,
except that no such termination shall have any retroactive effect to reduce any
amounts allocated to a Participant’s Accounts, and provided that any
distribution in connection with such termination complies with Code Section 409A
and related regulations thereunder:

 

(a)                                  The Plan Sponsor, in its sole discretion,
may terminate the Plan and distribute all vested Participants’ Accounts no
earlier than twelve (12) calendar months from the date of the Plan termination
and no later than twenty-four (24) calendar months from the date of the Plan
termination, provided however that all other similar arrangements are also
terminated by the Plan Sponsor for any affected Participant and no other
similar arrangements are adopted by the Plan Sponsor for any affected
Participant within a three (3) year period from the date of termination;
or

 

(b)                                 The Plan Sponsor may decide, in its sole
discretion, to terminate the Plan in the event of a corporate dissolution taxed
under Code Section 331, or with the approval of a bankruptcy court,
provided that the Participants vested Account balances are distributed to
Participants and are included in the Participants’ gross income in the latest
of:  (i) the calendar year in which
the termination occurs; (ii) the calendar year in which the amounts
deferred are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or (iii) the
first calendar year in which payment is administratively practicable.

 

9.10                        Plan Termination due to a Change-in-Control

 

The Plan Sponsor may decide, in its discretion, to
terminate the Plan in the event of a Change-in-Control and distribute all
vested Participants’ Account balances no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the
Change-in-Control and no later than twelve (12) months after the effective date
of the Change-in-Control, provided however that the Plan Sponsor terminates all
other similar arrangements for any affected Participant.

 

9.11                        Construction

 

All questions of interpretation, construction or
application arising under or concerning the terms of this Plan shall be decided
by the Administrator, in its sole and final discretion, whose decision shall be
final, binding and conclusive upon all persons.

 

11

 

9.12                        Governing Law

 

This Plan shall be governed by, construed and
administered in accordance with the applicable provisions of Code Section 409A,
and any other applicable federal law, provided, however, that to the extent not
preempted by federal law this Plan shall be governed by, construed and
administered under the laws of the State of Utah other than its laws respecting
choice of law.

 

9.13                        Severability

 

If any provision of this Plan is held invalid or
unenforceable, its invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provision of this Plan and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such
provision had not been included therein.

 

9.14                        Headings

 

The Article headings contained herein are
inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way
define, limit, enlarge or describe the scope or intent of this Plan nor in any

assignor’s Sub-Account to the assignee’s Sub-Account in accordance with
Section 10.04(b) and, if required by Section 10.04(b), the
Administrative Agent shall close such assignor’s Sub-Account.

 

(6) Upon the reduction of each of the
Tranche B-1 Total Commitment and the Undrawn/Unreimbursed Tranche B-1 LC
Exposure to zero, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the Deposit
Account and pay to each Tranche B-1 Lender the entire remaining amount of such
Tranche B-1 Lender’s Deposit, and shall close the Deposit Account.

 

Each Tranche B-1 Lender irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that its
Deposit may be applied or withdrawn from time to time as set forth in this
Section 2.01(a)(ii)(C).

 

(D) The Administrative Agent shall invest, or cause to be
invested, the Deposit of each Tranche B-1 Lender so as to earn for the account
of such Tranche B-1 Lender a return thereon (the “Deposit Return”) for each day at a rate per annum equal to
(1) the one month LIBOR rate as determined by the Administrative Agent on
such day (or if such day was not a Business Day, the first Business Day
immediately preceding such day) based on rates for deposits in dollars (as set
forth by Bloomberg L.P.-page BTMM or any other comparable publicly
available service as may be selected by the Administrative Agent) (the “Benchmark LIBO Rate”) minus
(2) 0.25% per annum (based on a 365/366 day year).  The Benchmark LIBO Rate will be reset on each
Business Day.  The Deposit Return accrued
through and including the last day of March, June, September and
December of each year shall be payable by the Administrative Agent to each
Tranche B-1 Lender on the third Business Day following such last day,
commencing on the first such date to occur after the First Restatement
Effective Date, and on the date on which each of the Tranche B-1 Total
Commitment and the Tranche B-1 LC Exposure shall have been reduced to zero, and
the Administrative Agent agrees to pay to each Tranche B-1 Lender the amount
due to it under this sentence.  No Loan
Party shall have any obligation under or in respect of the provisions of this
Section 2.01(a)(ii)(D).

 

(E) As provided in Article VIII, the Administrative Agent may
perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers contemplated
by this Section 2.01 by or through one or more sub-agents appointed by it
(which may include any of its Affiliates). 
The parties hereto acknowledge that on or prior to the First Restatement
Effective Date the Administrative Agent has engaged JPMorgan Chase
Institutional Trust Services to act as its sub-agent in connection with the
Deposit Account, and that in such capacity JPMorgan Chase Institutional Trust
Services shall be entitled to the benefit of all the provisions of this
Agreement contemplated by Article VIII, including the provisions of
Section 10.03.

 

51

 

(F) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
including Sections 2.02 and 2.05(a), no Tranche B-1 Loan shall be made, and no
Tranche B-1 Letter of Credit shall be issued or the stated amount thereof
increased, if after giving effect thereto the aggregate amount of the Deposits
would be less than the Undrawn/Unreimbursed Tranche B-1 LC Exposure.  The Administrative Agent agrees to provide,
at the request of any Issuing Bank, information to such Issuing Bank as to the
aggregate amount of the Deposits and the Undrawn/Unreimbursed Tranche B-1 LC
Exposure.

 

(G) The Parent Borrower and each Issuing Bank acknowledges and
agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the deposit
by each Tranche B-1 Lender in the Deposit Account on the First Restatement
Effective Date of funds equal to its Tranche B-1 Commitment (except as provided
in the second to last sentence of Section 2.05(d)) fully discharged the
obligation of such Tranche B-1 Lender to fund Tranche B-1 Loans by such Tranche
B-1 Lender pursuant to Section 2.02(a) and to reimburse such Lender’s
Tranche B-1 Applicable Percentage of Tranche B-1 LC Disbursements that are not
reimbursed by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(d) or (e),
and that no other or further payments shall be required to be made by any
Tranche B-1 Lender in respect of any such funding or reimbursement obligations.

 

(b) [Reserved].

 

(c) Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Parent Borrower and the Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers, as the case may be, may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans
or Tranche B-1 Loans.  Amounts repaid or
prepaid in respect of Tranche B Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

 

SECTION 2.02.  Loans and
Borrowings.  (a) (i) Each
Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing
consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably
in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class; provided
that for purposes of this paragraph (a), the Class A Tranche B-1
Commitments and Class B Tranche B-1 Commitments shall be deemed to be one
Class.  The failure of any Lender to make
any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its
obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are
several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to
make Loans as required.

 

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each
Tranche B-1 Lender agrees to make Tranche B-1 Loans to the Parent Borrower,
with amounts in its Sub-Account, from time to time during the Tranche B-1
Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not after giving
effect to any such Tranche B-1 Loan result in such Lender’s Tranche B-1 Credit
Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Tranche B-1 Commitment.  Each Tranche B-1 Loan shall be part of a
Tranche B-1 Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type held by the Tranche
B-1 Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective 

 

52

 

Tranche B-1 Applicable Percentages, without regard to whether any such
Lender is a Class A Tranche B-1 Lender or a Class B Tranche B-1
Lender.  Each Tranche B-1 Lender hereby
authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to make its portion of each
Tranche B-1 Borrowing available to the Parent Borrower by withdrawing from the
Deposit Account (and debiting such Tranche B-1 Lender’s Sub-Account in the
amount of) such Lender’s Tranche B-1 Applicable Percentage of such Tranche B-1
Borrowing and crediting such amount to the applicable account of the Parent
Borrower as provided in Section 2.06. 
Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Parent Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Tranche B-1
Loans.

 

(b) Subject to Section 2.14, each Loan (other than Foreign
Currency Loans) shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans
as the Parent Borrower may request in accordance herewith.  All Foreign Currency Borrowings shall be
comprised entirely of Eurocurrency Loans. 
Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan.  Each Lender at its option may make any
Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of
such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option
shall not affect the obligation of the Parent Borrower, a Subsidiary Term
Borrower or a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, to repay such
Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any
Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is
an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or 1,000,000 units of the applicable
Foreign Currency) and not less than $5,000,000 (or 5,000,000 units of the applicable
Foreign Currency).  At the time that each
ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount
that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000; provided
that (i) an ABR Revolving Borrowing of either Class may be in an
aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total
Revolving Commitments of such Class, and (ii) an ABR Class A
Revolving Borrowing or a Tranche B-1 Borrowing, or a Eurocurrency Class A
Revolving Borrowing, in the case of Foreign Currency Letters of Credit, may be
in an aggregate amount that is equal to the amount that is required to finance
the reimbursement of a Revolving LC Disbursement or Tranche B-1 LC Disbursement
as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). 
Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple
of $100,000 and not less than $500,000. 
Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at
the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a
total of 12 Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding.

 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, none of
the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary Term Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower shall be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any
Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after
(i) in the case of a Class A Revolving Borrowing, the Class A
Revolving Commitment Termination Date, (ii) in the case of a Class B
Revolving Borrowing or Tranche B-1 Borrowing, the Class B Revolving
Commitment Termination Date, (iii) in the case of a Class A Tranche B
Term 

 

53

 

Borrowing, the
Class A Tranche B Maturity Date and (iv) in the case of a
Class B Tranche B Term Borrowing, the Class B Tranche B Maturity
Date.

 

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but
subject to Article IX, a Lender with no Foreign Currency Commitment
hereunder shall not be obligated to make or participate in any Foreign Currency
Loans.

 

SECTION 2.03.  Requests
for Borrowings.  (a) To request
a Revolving Loan or Tranche B-1 Loan, the Parent Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (i) in the case of a
Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City
time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or
(ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon,
New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing;
provided that any such notice of an ABR Class A Revolving Loan to
finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by
Section 2.05(e) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing, and (b) to
request a Foreign Currency Borrowing, the applicable Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower shall notify the Foreign Currency Administrative Agent of such request
by telephone not later than 11:00 a.m., London Time, three Business Days
before the date of the proposed Borrowing. 
Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be
confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of
a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and
signed by the Parent Borrower and, in the case of a Foreign Currency Borrowing,
the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower. 
Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the
following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

 

(i) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Revolving Borrowing
or Tranche B-1 Borrowing;

 

(ii) in the case of a Revolving Borrowing, whether the requested
Borrowing is a Class A Revolving Borrowing or a Class B Revolving
Borrowing;

 

(iii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

 

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

 

(v) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
Eurocurrency Borrowing, unless such Borrowing is a Foreign Currency Borrowing;

 

(vi) if such Borrowing is a Foreign Currency Borrowing, the relevant
Foreign Currency;

 

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

 

54

 

(viii) the location and number of the Parent Borrower’s or the
applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower’s, as the case may be, account to which
funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of
Section 2.06.

 

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

 

SECTION 2.04.  Swingline
Loans.  (a) Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline
Loans to the Parent Borrower from time to time during the Class A
Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $20,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the
total Class A Revolving Exposures exceeding the total Class A
Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be
required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline
Loan.  On the last day of each month
during the Class A Revolving Availability Period, the Parent Borrower
shall repay any outstanding Swingline Loans. 
Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Parent Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline
Loans.

 

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Parent Borrower shall notify
the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy),
not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of a
proposed Swingline Loan.  Each such
notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall
be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan.  The Administrative Agent will promptly advise
the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Parent Borrower.  The Swingline Lender shall make each
Swingline Loan available to the Parent Borrower by means of a credit to the
general deposit account of the Parent Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or,
in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC
Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the Issuing
Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such
Swingline Loan. The Parent Borrower shall not request a Swingline Loan if at
the time of and immediately after giving effect to such request a Default has
occurred and is continuing.

 

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the
Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any
Business 

 

55

 

Day require
the Class A Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business
Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding.  Such notice shall specify the aggregate
amount of Swingline Loans in which Class A Revolving Lenders will
participate.  Promptly upon receipt of
such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each
Class A Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s
Class A Revolving Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.  Each Class A Revolving Lender hereby absolutely
and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such
Lender’s Class A Revolving Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or
Loans.  Each Class A Revolving
Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in
Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence
and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Class A
Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any
offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever (provided that
such payment shall not cause such Class A Revolving Lender’s Class A
Revolving Exposure to exceed such Class A Revolving Lender’s Class A
Revolving Commitment).  Each Class A
Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire
transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and
Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis  mutandis, to the payment
obligations of the Class A Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it
from the Class A Revolving Lenders. 
The Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower of any
participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and
thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the
Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender.  Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender
from the Parent Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Parent Borrower) in respect
of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a
sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative
Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly
remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Class A Revolving Lenders that
shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline
Lender, as their interests may appear. 
The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph
shall not relieve the Parent Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

 

SECTION 2.05.  Letters of
Credit.  (a) General.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Parent
Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account or
the account of a Subsidiary and any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower may request the
issuance of Foreign Currency Letters of Credit for its own account or the
account of a Subsidiary of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, in each case in a
form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at
any time and from time to time during the Class A Revolving Availability
Period and the Tranche B-1 Availability Period, as applicable (provided
that the Parent Borrower or a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be,
shall be a co-applicant with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the
account of or in favor of a Subsidiary that is not a Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower).  In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms and 

 

56

 

conditions of
this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit
application or other agreement submitted by the Parent Borrower or any Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, to, or entered into by the Parent
Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, with, the
Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall control.

 

(ii) The Parent Borrower may at any time redesignate Tranche B-1
Letters of Credit as Revolving Letters of Credit and Revolving Letters of
Credit (other than Revolving Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign
Currency) as Tranche B-1 Letters of Credit; provided, that (A) the
Parent Borrower shall by notice to the Administrative Agent identify the
Letters of Credit to be redesignated hereunder and certify that the conditions
to such redesignation set forth in the following clause (B) are satisfied
and that no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (B) no redesignation
of a Letter of Credit shall become effective hereunder unless after giving
effect to such redesignation the conditions precedent to the issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit under the third sentence
of paragraph (b) below shall be satisfied. 
The Class A Revolving Lenders hereby agree that upon the
effectiveness of any redesignation of a Tranche B-1 Letter of Credit as a
Revolving Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit
shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have granted to
each Class A Revolving Lender, and each Class A Revolving Lender
shall be deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank, a participation in
such Letter of Credit in accordance with paragraph (d) below, and on and
after the effectiveness of any such redesignation, such Letter of Credit shall
constitute a Revolving Letter of Credit for all purposes hereof.  The Tranche B-1 Lenders hereby agree that
upon the effectiveness of any redesignation of a Revolving Letter of Credit as
a Tranche B-1 Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of
Credit shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have
granted to each Tranche B-1 Lender, and each Tranche B-1 Lender shall be deemed
to have purchased from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of
Credit in accordance with paragraph (d) below, and on and after the
effectiveness of any such redesignation, such Letter of Credit shall constitute
a Tranche B-1 Letter of Credit for all purposes hereof.  No Tranche B-1 Letter of Credit may be
redesignated as a Revolving Letter of Credit if the Parent Borrower and the
Issuing Bank in respect thereof shall have agreed at the time such Issuing Bank
became an Issuing Bank that such Issuing Bank will not be required to issue
Revolving Letters of Credit, or that Tranche B-1 Letters of Credit issued by
such Issuing Bank may not be redesignated by the Parent Borrower as Revolving
Letters of Credit, and shall not have subsequently agreed otherwise.

 

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain
Conditions.  To request the issuance
of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding
Letter of Credit), the Parent Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower, as the case may be, shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by
electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved 

 

57

 

by the Issuing
Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance
of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice
requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of
Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on
which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with
paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the
currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be issued (which in the case of a
Tranche B-1 Letter of Credit, shall be dollars, and in the case of a Revolving
Letter of Credit, shall be dollars or a Foreign Currency), whether such Letter
of Credit is to be a Revolving Letter of Credit or a Tranche B-1 Letter of
Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other
information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such
Letter of Credit.  If requested by the
Issuing Bank, the Parent Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower, as the case may be, also shall submit a letter of credit application
on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter
of Credit.  A Letter of Credit shall be
issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Parent Borrower or the
applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, shall be deemed to
represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $65,000,000,
(ii) the total Revolving LC Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000,
(iii) the total Class A Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the total
Class A Revolving Commitments, (iv) the total Tranche B-1 Exposure shall
not exceed the total Tranche B-1 Commitments and (v) the total
Class A Foreign Currency Exposures shall not exceed the total Class A
Foreign Currency Commitments.

 

(c) Expiration Date. 
Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business
on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of
such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one
year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five
Business Days prior to(A) in the case of a Revolving Letter of Credit, the
Class A Revolving Commitment Termination Date and (B) in the case of
a Tranche B-1 Letter of Credit, the Class B Revolving Commitment
Termination Date.

 

(d) Participations. 
By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of
Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the
part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants
(i) to each Class A Revolving Lender, and each Class A Revolving
Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Revolving
Letters of Credit equal to such Class A Revolving Lender’s Class A
Revolving Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn
under such Revolving Letters of Credit and (ii) to each Tranche B-1
Lender, and each Tranche B-1 Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a
participation in such Tranche B-1 Letters of Credit equal to such Lender’s
Tranche B-1 Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn
under such Tranche B-1 Letters of Credit. 
In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, (A) each
Class A Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such
Class A Revolving 

 

58

 

Lender’s
Class A Revolving Applicable Percentage of each Revolving LC Disbursement
made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Parent Borrower or the
applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, on the date due as
provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment
in respect of a Revolving LC Disbursement required to be refunded to the Parent
Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, for
any reason, and (B) each Tranche B-1 Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent agrees, to withdraw from the Deposit Account (and debit
such Lender’s Sub-Account in the amount of) such Lender’s Tranche B-1
Applicable Percentage of each Tranche B-1 LC Disbursement made by such Issuing
Bank and not reimbursed by the Parent Borrower on the date due as provided in
paragraph (e) of this Section, or such Lender’s Tranche B-1 Applicable
Percentage of any reimbursement payment in respect of a Tranche B-1 LC
Disbursement required to be refunded to the Parent Borrower for any reason (it being
understood and agreed that, except as provided in the last sentence of this
paragraph, each Tranche B-1 Lender’s obligations in respect of participations
in Tranche B-1 Letters of Credit shall be payable solely from, and limited to,
such Tranche B-1 Lender’s Deposit).  Each
Class A Revolving Lender and Tranche B-1 Lender acknowledges and agrees
that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in
respect of Letters of Credit is, subject in the case of Tranche B-1 Lenders to
the preceding sentence, absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of
any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or
reduction or termination of its Class A Revolving Commitment, its Tranche
B-1 Commitment, all Class A Revolving Commitments or the Tranche B-1 Total
Commitment, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever; provided that in the event
any reimbursement payment in respect of a Tranche B-1 LC Disbursement shall be
required to be refunded by an Issuing Bank to the Parent Borrower after the
return of the Deposits to the Lenders as provided in
Section 2.01(a)(ii)(C), each Tranche B-1 Lender agrees to acquire and fund
a participation in such refunded amount equal to the lesser of its Tranche B-1
Applicable Percentage thereof and the amount of its Deposit that shall have
been so returned.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to
Article IX, a Lender with no Foreign Currency Commitment hereunder shall
not be obligated to participate in any Foreign Currency Letter of Credit.

 

(e) Reimbursement. 
If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a
Letter of Credit, the Parent Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower, as the case may be, shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to
the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than
12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement
is made, if the Parent Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower,
as the case may be, shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to
10:00 a.m., New York City time or London time (in the case of Foreign
Currency Letters of Credit), on such date, or, if such notice has not been
received by the Parent Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower,
as the case may be, prior to such time on such date, then not later than
12:00 noon, New York City time or London time (in the case of Foreign
Currency 

 

59

 

Letters of
Credit), on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Parent
Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be,
receives such notice; provided that (i) the Parent Borrower
may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in
accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an
ABR Borrowing (which will be a Borrowing of Class A Revolving Loans in the
case of a Revolving Letter of Credit or of Tranche B-1 Loans in the case of a
Tranche B-1 Letter of Credit) in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so
financed, the Parent Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be
discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Class A Revolving Loan,
Swingline Loan or Tranche B-1 Loan and (ii) such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower
may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in
accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with a
Eurocurrency Class A Revolving Loan in an equivalent amount in the
applicable Foreign Currency and, to the extent so financed, such Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and
replaced by the resulting Eurocurrency Class A Revolving Loan.  If the Parent Borrower or the applicable
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, fails to make such payment
when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable
LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Parent Borrower or the
applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, in respect thereof
and such Lender’s Class A Revolving Applicable Percentage or Tranche B-1
Applicable Percentage, as the case may be, thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice,
each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Class A Revolving
Applicable Percentage or its Tranche B-1 Applicable Percentage, as the case may
be, of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and
Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis  mutandis, to the payment
obligations of the Class A Revolving Lenders and the Tranche B-1 Lenders),
and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts
so received by it from the Class A Revolving Lenders and the Tranche B-1
Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by
the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Parent Borrower or the
applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, pursuant to this
paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Class A Revolving Lenders or Tranche
B-1 Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the
Issuing Bank, then distribute such payment to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank
as their interests may appear.  Any
payment made by a Class A Revolving Lender or a Tranche B-1 Lender
pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC
Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Class A Revolving Loans or
Tranche B-1 Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not
constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Parent Borrower or the applicable
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, of its obligation to reimburse
such LC Disbursement.

 

(f) Obligations Absolute. 
The obligation of the Parent Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower
to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this
Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be
performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and
all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of 

 

60

 

any Letter of
Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft
or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of
Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or
circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that
might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of the
Parent Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereunder.  None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
or the Issuing Bank, or any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability
or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer
of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment
thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the
preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in
transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or
relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a
drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any
consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided
that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from
liability to the Parent Borrower or any applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower,
as the case may be, to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to
consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the
Parent Borrower or any applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may
be, to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Parent Borrower
or any applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, that are
caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether
drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the
terms thereof.  The parties hereto
expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct
on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each
such determination.  In furtherance of
the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree
that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in
substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank
may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such
documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit.

 

(g) Disbursement Procedures.  The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following
its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for
payment under a Letter of Credit.  The Issuing
Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower or
any applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank
has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any
failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not (i) relieve the
Parent Borrower or any applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may
be, of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with
respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of
such reimbursement obligation set 

 

61

 

forth in
Section 2.05(e)) or (ii) relieve (A) any Lender’s obligations to
acquire participations as required pursuant to paragraph (d) of this
Section 2.05 or (B) in the case of a Tranche B-1 LC Disbursement, the
obligation of the Administrative Agent, promptly after receipt of such notice,
to withdraw from the Deposit Account each Lender’s Tranche B-1 Applicable
Percentage of such Tranche B-1 LC Disbursement and apply such amounts to make
payments to the Issuing Bank as provided herein.

 

(h) Interim Interest. 
If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the
Parent Borrower or any applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may
be, shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC
Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each
day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding
the date that the Parent Borrower or any applicable Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower, as the case may be, reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per
annum then applicable to (i) in the case of interest for the account of
the Issuing Bank, ABR Class A Revolving Loans and (ii) in the case of
interest for the account of any Lender, ABR Loans made by such Lender; provided
that, if the Parent Borrower or any applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as
the case may be, fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05, then
Section 2.13(c) shall apply. 
Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of
the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment
by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 to
reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the
extent of such payment.

 

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank; Additional Issuing Banks.  The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time
by written agreement among the Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and the
Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers), the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing
Bank and the successor Issuing Bank.  One
or more Lenders may be appointed as additional Issuing Banks by written
agreement among the Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and the Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers), the Administrative Agent (whose consent will not be
unreasonably withheld) and the Lender that is to be so appointed.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the
Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank or any such additional
Issuing Bank.  At the time any such
replacement shall become effective, the Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself
and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the
account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b).  From and after the effective date of any such
replacement or addition, as applicable, (i) the successor or additional
Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank
under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter
and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to
refer to such successor or such addition or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to
such successor or such addition and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context
shall require.  After the replacement of
an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party
hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing
Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior
to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of
Credit.  If at any time there is more
than one Issuing Bank hereunder, the Parent 

 

62

 

Borrower (on
behalf of itself and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) may, in its discretion,
select which Issuing Bank is to issue any particular Letter of Credit.

 

(j) Cash Collateralization. 
If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business
Day that the Parent Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower receives notice
from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of
the Loans has been accelerated, Class A Revolving Lenders and/or Tranche
B-1 Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC
Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the
Parent Borrower and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers, as the case may be, shall
deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the
Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash in
the applicable currency equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any
accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to
deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such
deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other
notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to
the Parent Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower described in
clause (h) or (i) of Article VII.  Each such deposit shall be held by the
Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the
obligations of the Parent Borrower and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers under
this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent
shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of
withdrawal, over such account.  Other
than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments
shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and
at the risk and expense of the Parent Borrower and the Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such
investments shall accumulate in such account. 
Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been
reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the
satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Parent Borrower and the
Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity
of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Class A
Revolving Lenders and/or Tranche B-1 Lenders with LC Exposure representing
greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other
obligations of the Parent Borrower and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers under
this Agreement.  If the Parent Borrower
or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash
collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such
amount plus any accrued interest or realized profits of such amounts (to the
extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Parent Borrower or
such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of
Default have been cured or waived.  If
the Parent Borrower is required to provide an amount of such collateral
hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount plus any accrued
interest or realized profits on account of such amount (to the extent not
applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Parent Borrower as and to the
extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Parent Borrower would
remain in compliance with Section 2.11(b) and no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

63

 

SECTION 2.06.  Funding of
Borrowings.   (a) Each Lender
shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by
wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York
City time, or in the case of Foreign Currency Borrowings, London time, to the
account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such
purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be
made as provided in Section 2.04. 
The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Parent
Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, by
promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the
Parent Borrower or such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be,
maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City, or in the case
of Foreign Currency Borrowings, London, and designated by the Parent Borrower
or such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, in the applicable Borrowing
Request; provided that ABR Class A Revolving Loans made to finance
the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in
Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the
Issuing Bank.

 

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will
not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share
available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this
Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
Parent Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may
be, a corresponding amount.  In such event,
if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the
Parent Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may
be, severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the
date such amount is made available to the Parent Borrower or the applicable
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the
greater of (x) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (y) a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation, except with respect to Foreign Currency
Borrowings, the applicable rate shall be determined as specified in
clause (y) above, or (ii) in the case of the Parent Borrower or
any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR
Class A Revolving Loans.  If such
Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall
constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

 

(c) The Administrative Agent will make each Tranche B-1 Loan to be
made hereunder available to the Parent Borrower by promptly crediting the
amounts withdrawn by it from the Deposit Account in accordance with
Section 2.02(a)(ii), in like funds, to an account designated by the Parent
Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Tranche B-1
Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in
Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the
applicable Issuing Bank.

 

64

 

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

 

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Parent
Borrower, the applicable Subsidiary Term Borrower or the applicable Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, shall notify the Administrative Agent
of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be
required under Section 2.03 if the Parent Borrower, the applicable
Subsidiary Term Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the
case may be, were requesting a Revolving Loan, Tranche B-1 Loan or Tranche B
Term Loan of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective
date of such election.  Each such
telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be
confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of
a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative
Agent and signed by the Parent Borrower, the applicable Subsidiary Term
Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

65

 

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing
but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Parent Borrower, the
applicable Subsidiary Term Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one month’s duration.

 

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

 

(e) If an Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency
Borrowing is not timely delivered prior to the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein,
at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing (unless such Borrowing is a Foreign Currency Borrowing, in which case
such Borrowing shall become due and payable on the last day of such Interest
Period).  Notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the
Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers and the
Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers), then, so long as an Event of Default is
continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing (other than a Foreign Currency
Borrowing) may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and
(ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing (other than a Foreign
Currency Borrowing) shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the
Interest Period applicable thereto.

 

SECTION 2.08.  Termination
and Reduction of Commitments. 
(a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Class A
Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Class A Revolving Commitment
Termination Date and (ii) the Class B Revolving Commitments and
Tranche B-1 Commitments shall terminate on the Class B Revolving
Commitment Termination Date.  Each party
to this Agreement acknowledges that the Tranche B Commitments (as defined in
the Existing Credit Agreement) have terminated.

 

(b) The Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and the Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers) may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce,
the Commitments of any Class (it being understood that reductions of the
Class A Revolving Commitments or the Class B Revolving Commitments
will automatically reduce the related Foreign Currency Commitments on a pro
rata basis); provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of
any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000
and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) (A) the Revolving Commitments
of either Class shall not be terminated or reduced if, after giving effect
to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans of such Class in
accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving Exposures of such
Class would exceed the total Revolving Commitments of such Class or
(B) the Tranche B-1 Commitments shall not be reduced if, after giving
effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Tranche B-1 Loans in accordance with
Section 2.11, the sum of the Tranche B-1 Exposures would exceed the
Tranche B-1 Total Commitment.

 

66

 

(c) The Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and the Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers) shall notify the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of
Foreign Currency Commitments, the Foreign Currency Administrative Agent) of any
election to terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Class under paragraph (b) of
this Section at least three Business Days prior (and, in the case of
Foreign Currency Commitments, not later than 11 a.m., London Time, three
Business Days prior) to the effective date of such termination or reduction,
specifying such election and the effective date thereof.  Promptly following receipt of any notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Parent Borrower
(on behalf of itself and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) pursuant to this
Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination
of the Revolving Commitments of either Class or a notice of reduction of
the Tranche B-1 Commitments to zero delivered by the Parent Borrower (on behalf
of itself and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) may state that such notice is
conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the occurrence
of another transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Parent
Borrower (on behalf of itself and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) (by notice
to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if
such condition is not satisfied.  Any
reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent.  Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments of
either Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders of such Class, as
applicable, in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments of such
Class and each reduction of the Tranche B-1 Commitments shall be made
ratably among the Tranche B-1 Lenders in accordance with their respective
Tranche B-1 Commitments.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the conversion of a Class B Revolving
Commitment into a Class A Revolving Commitment pursuant to an Incremental
Amendment shall not be considered a reduction of Revolving Commitments and the
provisions of this Section 2.08 shall not apply to such conversion.

 

SECTION 2.09.  Repayment of
Loans; Evidence of Debt.  (a) The Parent Borrower, each
Subsidiary Term Borrower (with respect to Tranche B Term Loans made to such
Subsidiary Term Borrower) and each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower (with respect to
Foreign Currency Loans made to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) hereby
unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent
(A) for the account of each Class A Revolving Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of each Class A Revolving Loan of such Lender on the
Class A Revolving Commitment Termination Date, (B) for the account of
each Class B Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each
Class B Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Class B Revolving
Commitment Termination Date, (C) for the account of each Tranche B-1
Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Tranche B-1 Loan of such Lender
on the Class B Revolving Commitment Termination Date, (ii) to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Tranche B Term Loan of such Lender as provided in
Section 2.10 and (iii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Class A
Revolving Commitment Termination Date and the first date after such Swingline
Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least
two Business Days after such 

 

67

 

Swingline Loan
is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan (other than a
Foreign Currency Borrowing) is made, the Parent Borrower shall repay all
Swingline Loans that were outstanding on the date such Borrowing was requested.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it
be evidenced by a promissory note.  In
such event, the Parent Borrower, the applicable Subsidiary Term Borrower or the
applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, shall prepare,
execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of
such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered
assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent.  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such
promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after
assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more
promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein
(or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its
registered assigns).

 

SECTION 2.10.  Amortization
of Tranche B Term Loans. 
(a) Subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (e) of
this Section, the Term Loan Borrowers(i) shall repay Class A Tranche
B Term Loans on each date set forth below in an aggregate principal amount
equal to (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal
amount of Class A Tranche B Term Loans outstanding on the Restatement
Effective Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount
of Tranche B Term Loans outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date multiplied
by (B) the amount set forth opposite such date in the table below and (ii)
shall repay Class B Tranche B Term Loans on each date set forth below on
or before the Class B Tranche B 

 

68

 

Maturity Date
in an aggregate principal amount equal to (A) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the aggregate principal amount of Class B Tranche B Term Loans
outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date and the denominator of which is
the aggregate principal amount of Tranche B Term Loans outstanding on the
Restatement Effective Date multiplied by (B) the amount set forth opposite
such date in the table below (it being understood that the amounts set forth
below do not reflect adjustments in respect of prepayments, if any, of Tranche
B Term Loans prior to the Restatement Effective Date, which shall affect and
reduce the scheduled amortization payments set forth below in a manner
consistent with Section 2.10(d) of the Existing Credit Agreement):

provided that the foregoing scheduled
amortization payments shall be deemed to include, with respect to each
Class of Tranche B Term Loans, the entire remaining principal amount
of the Tranche B Term Loans of such Class payable on the applicable
Tranche B Maturity Date.  It is
understood that the foregoing scheduled repayments of Class A Tranche B
Term Loans and Class B Tranche B Term Loans are intended to result in
scheduled repayments of such Term Loans in the same amounts that would have
been required, as of the Restatement Effective Date, if the Restatement
Transactions had not occurred, but taking into account adjustments subsequent
to the Restatement Effective Date and, in the case of Class A
Tranche B Loans, scheduled repayments after the date that such Loans would
have matured under the Existing Credit Agreement.

 

(b) [Reserved].

 

(c) To the extent not previously paid, (i) all Class A
Tranche B Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Class A Tranche B
Maturity Date and (ii) all Class B Tranche B Term Loans shall be due
and payable on the Class B Tranche B Maturity Date.

 

(d) Any prepayment of Tranche B Term Loans of either
Class shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of
the Tranche B Term Loans of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section ratably;
provided that any prepayment made pursuant to
Section 2.11(a) shall be applied, first, to reduce the next two
scheduled repayments of the Tranche B Term Loans of such Class due to be
made within the next twelve months pursuant to this Section unless and
until such next scheduled repayment has been eliminated as a result of
reductions hereunder (provided, further, that the amount of such
prepayment that may be allocated as provided in this proviso may not exceed the
greater of 50% of such prepayment and the amount of such two scheduled
repayments).  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any prepayment of Eurocurrency Tranche B Term Loans made pursuant to
Section 2.11(a) on a date that is (x) the last day of an
Interest Period and (y) no more than five days prior to a scheduled
amortization payment pursuant this Section shall be applied, first, to
reduce such scheduled payment, and any excess shall be applied as required by
the first sentence of this Section 2.10(d).

 

(e) Prior to any repayment of any Tranche B Term Loans of either
Class hereunder, the Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and the
applicable Subsidiary Term Borrower) shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings
of the applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent
by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than
11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the
scheduled date of such repayment.  Each
repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the
repaid Borrowing.  Repayments of Tranche
B Term Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.

 

SECTION 2.11.  Prepayment
of Loans.  (a) The Parent
Borrower, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers,
as the case may be, shall have the right at any time and from time to time to
prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this
Section.

 

70

 

(b) In the event and on such occasion that (i) the sum of the
Class A Revolving Exposures exceeds the total Class A Revolving
Commitments, (ii) the sum of the Class B Revolving Exposures exceeds
the total Class B Revolving Commitments or (iii) the sum of the Tranche
B-1 Exposures exceeds the Tranche B-1 Total Commitment, the Parent Borrower and
the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers, as the case may be, shall prepay Loans (or,
if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account
with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) in an aggregate
amount equal to such excess.

 

(c) In the event and on such occasion that (i) the sum of the
Class A Foreign Currency Exposures exceeds (A) 105% of the total
Class A Foreign Currency Commitments solely as a result of currency
fluctuations or (B) the total Class A Foreign Currency Commitments
(other than as a result of currency fluctuations), the Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers shall prepay Class A Foreign Currency Borrowings (or if no such
Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) in an amount equal to
the amount by which the sum of Class A Foreign Currency Exposures exceed
the total Class A Foreign Currency Commitments no later than in the case
of clause (i)(A) above the next Interest Payment Date and in the case
of clause (i)(B) above, the first Business Day that such excess exists and
(ii) the sum of the Class B Foreign Currency Exposures exceeds
(A) 105% of the total Class B Foreign Currency Commitments solely as
a result of currency fluctuations or (B) the total Class B Foreign
Currency Commitments (other than as a result of currency fluctuations), the
Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers shall prepay Class B Foreign Currency
Borrowings (or if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral
in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j))
in an amount equal to the amount by which the sum of Class B Foreign
Currency Exposures exceed the total Class B Foreign Currency Commitments
no later than in the case of clause (ii)(A) above the next Interest
Payment Date and in the case of clause (ii)(B) above, the first Business
Day that such excess exists.

 

(d) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are
received by or on behalf of Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary in
respect of any Prepayment Event, the Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and,
in the case of Tranche B Term Loans, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers) shall,
within three Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay Tranche
B Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Proceeds; provided
that, in the case of any event described in clause (a) of the
definition of the term Prepayment Event (other than sales, transfers or other
dispositions pursuant to Section 6.05(j) in excess of $25,000,000),
if Holdings or the Parent Borrower shall deliver, within such three Business
Days, to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the
effect that Holdings, the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries, intend to apply
the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such
certificate), within 365 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to
acquire real property, equipment or other tangible assets to be used in the
business of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries, and certifying that no
Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required
pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds in respect of such
event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds 

 

71

 

specified in
such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds
therefrom that have not been so applied by the end of such 365-day period, at
which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net
Proceeds that have not been so applied.

 

(e) Following the end of each fiscal year of the Parent Borrower,
commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, the Parent
Borrower (on behalf of itself and, in the case of Tranche B Term Loans, the
Subsidiary Term Borrowers) shall prepay Tranche B Term Loans in an aggregate
amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year; provided
that such percentage shall be reduced from 50% to 25% with respect to the
prepayment under this paragraph (e) if the Parent Borrower’s Leverage
Ratio as of the last fiscal quarter preceding the applicable prepayment date is
less than 3.00 to 1.00.  Each prepayment
pursuant to this paragraph shall be made on or before the date on which
financial statements are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 with respect
to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated (and in any
event within 95 days after the end of such fiscal year).

 

(f) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings
hereunder, the Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself, the Subsidiary Term
Borrowers and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) shall select the Borrowing or
Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such
prepayment pursuant to paragraph (g) of this Section.  In the event of any optional or mandatory
prepayment of Tranche B Term Loans made at a time when Tranche B Term Loans of
more than one Class remain outstanding, the Parent Borrower shall select
Tranche B Term Loans to be prepaid so that the aggregate amount of such
prepayment is allocated between the Class A Tranche B Term Loans and
Class B Tranche B Term Loans pro rata based on the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Borrowings of each such Class; provided that any
optional prepayment of Class B Tranche B Term Loans may be made pursuant
to Section 2.11(a) above without a pro rata prepayment of
Class A Tranche B Term Loans.  Any
optional prepayment of Tranche B-1 Loans shall be allocated ratably among the
Tranche B-1 Lenders based on the aggregate principal amount of each such
Lender’s outstanding Tranche B-1 Loans, without regard to whether any such
Lender is a Class A Tranche B-1 Lender or a Class B Tranche B-1
Lender.

 

(g) The Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself, the Subsidiary Term
Borrowers and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) shall notify the Administrative
Agent (or, in the case of a Foreign Currency Borrowing, the Foreign Currency
Administrative Agent) and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the
Swingline Lender by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment
hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not
later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before
the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR
Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one
Business Day before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case of
prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York
City time, on the date of prepayment and (iv) in the case of prepayment of
a Foreign Currency Borrowing, not later than 11 a.m. London Time, three
Business Days before the date of prepayment. 
Each such notice shall be 

 

72

 

irrevocable
and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing
or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a
reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided
that, if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a
conditional notice of termination of either Class of the Revolving
Commitments or a conditional notice of reduction of the Tranche B-1 Commitments
to zero as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment
may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with
Section 2.08.  Promptly following
receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline
Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents
thereof.  Each partial prepayment of any
Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an
advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02,
except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory
prepayment.  Each prepayment of a
Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid
Borrowing.  Prepayments shall be
accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.
Prepayments of Tranche B-1 Loans shall be deposited by the Administrative Agent
in the Deposit Account to the extent provided in Section 2.01(a)(ii)(B).

 

(h) In the event that any optional prepayment of Class A
Tranche B Term Loans or any reduction in the Class A Tranche B-1
Commitments is made substantially concurrently with (or with the proceeds from)
the incurrence of Indebtedness by Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any
Subsidiary of Indebtedness in the form of a term loan facility or a synthetic
letter of credit (or similar) facility, as applicable, having interest margins
that are, or upon satisfaction of certain conditions could be, lower than the
Applicable Margin then in effect for the Class A Tranche B Term Loans or
the Class A Tranche B-1 Loans, as applicable, such prepayment or reduction
shall be accompanied by, in the case of any such prepayment or reduction prior
to the first anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date, a prepayment
premium equal to 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of Class A Tranche
B Term Loans so prepaid and Class A Tranche B-1 Commitments so reduced
and, in the case of any such prepayment or reduction after the first
anniversary but prior to the second anniversary of the Restatement Effective
Date, a prepayment premium equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of
Class A Tranche B Term Loans so prepaid and Class A Tranche B-1
Commitments so reduced.

 

SECTION 2.12.  Fees.  (a) The Parent Borrower (on behalf of
itself, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers)
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a
commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable
Rate on the average daily unused amount of Class A Revolving Commitment or
Class B Revolving Commitment, as applicable, of such Lender during the
period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the
date on which such Commitment terminates. 
Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears in respect of either
Class of the Revolving Commitments, on the last day of March, June,
September and December of each year and on the date on which the
Revolving Commitments of such Class terminate, commencing on the first
such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date.  All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days and shall be 

 

73

 

payable for
the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day).  For purposes of computing
Commitment Fees with respect to Revolving Commitments, a Revolving Commitment
of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding
Revolving Loans and Revolving LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline
Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

 

(b) (i) The Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and the
Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) agrees to pay (A) to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Class A Revolving Lender a participation fee
with respect to its participations in Revolving Letters of Credit, which shall
accrue at the same Applicable Rate as interest on Eurocurrency Class A
Revolving Loans made by such Lender on the average daily amount of such
Lender’s Revolving LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to
unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the
Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which
(1) such Lender’s Class A Revolving Commitment terminates and (2) such
Lender ceases to have any Revolving LC Exposure, and (B) to the Issuing
Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the
average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and
including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date
on which (1) all Class A Revolving Commitments terminate and Tranche
B-1 Commitments are reduced to zero and (2) the date on which there ceases
to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect
to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
processing of drawings thereunder. 
Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the
last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be
payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the
first such date to occur after the First Restatement Effective Date; provided
that (x) all such fees in respect of Revolving Letters of Credit shall be
payable on the date on which the Class A Revolving Commitments terminate
and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Class A Revolving
Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand and (y) all such fees
payable in respect of Tranche B-1 Letters of Credit shall be payable on the
date on which the Tranche B-1 Total Commitment is reduced to zero and any such
fees accruing after the date on which the Tranche B-1 Total Commitment is
reduced to zero shall be payable on demand. 
Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph
shall be payable within 10 days after demand.  All participation fees and fronting fees
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable
for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding
the last day).

 

(ii) The Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and the Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers) agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Tranche B-1 Lender a fee, accruing at the rate of 4.00% per annum in
the case of a Class A Tranche B-1 Lender and 2.75% per annum in the case
of a Class B Tranche B-1 Lender, on the daily amount of the Deposit of
such Lender during the period from and including the date hereof to but
excluding the date on which each of the Tranche B-1 Total Commitment and the
Tranche B-1 LC Exposure have been reduced to zero.  In addition, the Parent Borrower agrees to
pay to the 

 

74

 

Administrative Agent for the account of each Tranche B-1 Lender an
additional amount, accruing at the rate per annum of (i) in the case of each
Class A Tranche B-1 Lender, 0.25% plus the excess of 2.00% over the
Benchmark LIBO Rate and (ii) in the case of each Class B Tranche B-1
Lender, 0.25%, in each case on the daily amount of the Deposit of such Lender
during the period from and including the First Restatement Effective Date to
but excluding the date on which each of the Tranche B-1 Total Commitment and
the Tranche B-1 LC Exposure have been reduced to zero.  Fees and other amounts under this paragraph
accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and
December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following
such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Restatement
Effective Date, and on the date on which each of the Tranche B-1 Total
Commitment and the Tranche B-1 LC Exposure have been reduced to zero.  All fees and amounts payable under this paragraph
shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366 day year and shall be payable for
the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day).

 

(c) The Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself, the Subsidiary Term
Borrowers and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at
the times separately agreed upon between the Parent Borrower and the
Administrative Agent.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest
on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Parent Borrower, the
Subsidiary Term Borrowers or the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers, as the case may
be, hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon
acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as
well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of
overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such
Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in
the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving
Loans of the Class as to which such overdue amount relates or the
Class of Lender as to which such overdue amount is owing (or, if such
overdue amount is not related to a particular Class, the rate 

 

75

 

applicable to
ABR Class A Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this
Section).

 

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on
each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans of
either Class, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments of such
Class and in the case of Tranche B-1 Loans, upon reduction of the Tranche
B-1 Commitment to zero; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant
to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand,
(ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a
prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Class A
Revolving Availability Period or Class B Revolving Availability Period, as
applicable), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall
be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the
event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current
Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the
effective date of such conversion.

 

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days, except that (i) interest on a Foreign Currency
Borrowing denominated in Sterling and (ii) interest computed by reference
to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on
the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or
366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day).  The applicable Alternate Base Rate
or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

SECTION 2.14.  Alternate
Rate of Interest.  If prior to the
commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in
any currency:

 

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

 

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders
that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans
included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

 

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Parent
Borrower (on behalf of itself, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers and the Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers) and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as
practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent
Borrower (on behalf of itself, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers and the Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers) and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to
such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that
requests the conversion of any Borrowing denominated in such currency to, or continuation
of any Borrowing denominated in such currency as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing
shall be ineffective, and any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such
currency that is requested to be continued (A) if such currency is the
dollar, shall be 

 

76

 

converted to an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto and (B) if such currency is a Foreign Currency, shall
be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (ii) if
any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such
currency (A) if such currency is the dollar, such Borrowing shall be made
as an ABR Borrowing and (B) if such currency is a Foreign Currency, such
Borrowing Request shall be ineffective.

 

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

 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit
or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of,
or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement
reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank or any Deposit or the
Deposit Account; or

 

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

 

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

 

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change
in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the
capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit
held by, such Lender, or the Deposit or Sub-Account of such Lender, or the
Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such
Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of
such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time the Parent Borrower, the applicable
Subsidiary Term Borrowers or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers, as
the case may be, will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the
Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any
such reduction suffered.

 

77

 

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

 

(d) Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or
the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that none
of the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary Term Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant
to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than
270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, notifies the Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself, the Subsidiary
Term Borrowers and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) of the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the
Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided  further
that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

 

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

 

78

 

such period, for deposits in
the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in
the Eurocurrency market.  A certificate
of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled
to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Parent
Borrower (on behalf of itself, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers and the Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Parent Borrower, the applicable
Subsidiary Term Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the
case may be, shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 

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

 

(b) In
addition, the Parent Borrower, each Subsidiary Term Borrower and each Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(c) The
Parent Borrower, each Subsidiary Term Borrower and each Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 Business Days after written demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (i) paid
by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the
Parent Borrower, each Subsidiary Term Borrower and each Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower, as the case may be,  hereunder
or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section)
and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto and (ii) withheld by the Administrative Agent with respect
to any and all payments of the Deposit Return to the Tranche B-1 Lenders
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section), in each case, whether or
not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary Term
Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, by a Lender or

 

79

 

the Issuing Bank, or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing
Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

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

 

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

 

(f) If
the Administrative Agent or a Lender (or a transferee) determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary Term
Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or with respect to which the Parent
Borrower (on behalf of itself, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers and the Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers) has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17,
it shall pay over such refund to the Parent Borrower (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Parent Borrower,
any Subsidiary Term Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this Section 2.17
with respect to the Taxes or the Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net
of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or
transferee) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however,
that the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary Term Borrower or any Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender (or transferee), agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Parent
Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or
transferee) in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or
transferee) is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.17(f) shall
require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax
returns or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems
confidential to the Parent Borrower or any other person.

 

80

 

SECTION 2.18.  Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment;
Sharing of Set-offs.  (a) The
Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers and the
Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest,
fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15,
2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder
or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is
expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, or if
the applicable Loan is a Foreign Currency Loan, London time), on the date when
due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any
date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been
received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating
interest thereon.  All such payments
shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue,
New York, New York (unless otherwise instructed in the case of
Foreign Currency Loans), except payments to be made directly to the Issuing
Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments
pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the
Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be
made to the Persons specified therein. 
The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by
it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly
following receipt thereof.  If any
payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business
Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall
be payable for the period of such extension. 
Subject to Section 9.01, (i) all payments under each Loan
Document of principal or interest in respect of any Loan or LC Disbursement
shall be made in the currency of such Loan or LC Disbursement, (ii) any
portion of the fees payable pursuant to Section 2.12(b) in respect of
Foreign Currency LC Exposure shall be made in the applicable Foreign Currency,
and (iii) all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document
shall be made in dollars.

 

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

 

(c) If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
its Revolving Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Tranche B-1 Loans or participations
in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving
payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans,
Tranche B Term Loans, Tranche B-1 Loans and participations in LC Disbursements
and Swingline Loans 

 

81

 

and accrued interest thereon
than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving
such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations
in the Revolving Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Tranche B-1 Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the
extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by
the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans, Tranche B Term Loans,
Tranche B-1 Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided
that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion
of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery,
without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be
construed to apply to any payment made by the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary
Term Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant,
other than to the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to
which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).  The Parent Borrower, each Subsidiary Term
Borrower and each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower consents to the foregoing and
agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any
Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may
exercise against the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary Term Borrower or any
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of the Parent Borrower, such Subsidiary Term Borrower or such
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower in the amount of such participation.

 

(d) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Parent Borrower
(on behalf of itself, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers and the Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers) prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the
Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary Term Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative
Agent may assume that the Parent Borrower, such Subsidiary Term Borrower or
such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, has made such payment on
such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be (or to the
extent provided in Section 2.01(a)(ii)(B), deposit in the Deposit
Account), the amount due.  In such event,
if the Parent Borrower, such Subsidiary Term Borrower or such Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment,
then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank (or, if such amount shall have been
deposited in the Deposit Account, each Tranche B-1 Lender authorizes the
Administrative Agent to withdraw such amount from the Deposit Account) with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at the greater of 

 

82

 

the Federal Funds Effective
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

 

(e) If
any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.18(d) or 10.03(c),
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are
fully paid.

 

SECTION 2.19.  Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of
Lenders.  (a) If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Parent Borrower,
any Subsidiary Term Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder
to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such
Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in
the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost
or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself, the
Subsidiary Term Borrowers and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) hereby agrees
to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection
with any such designation or assignment.

 

(b) If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Parent
Borrower, any Subsidiary Term Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if
any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder (or, in the case
of a Class A Revolving Lender, becomes a Defaulting Lender), then the
Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers and the
Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice
to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement to an assignee selected by the Parent Borrower that shall
assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Parent Borrower (on
behalf of itself, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers and the Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers) shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and
Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans, its Deposit and participations in LC Disbursements and
Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts
payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Parent Borrower, the Subsidiary
Term Borrowers and the 

 

83

 

Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers
(in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such
assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or
payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment
will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments.  A Lender shall not be required to make any
such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by
such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Parent Borrower, any
Subsidiary Term Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 

SECTION 2.20.  Additional Reserve Costs.  (a) If and so long as any Revolving
Lender is required to make special deposits with the Bank of England, to
maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such
Revolving Lender’s Foreign Currency Loans, such Revolving Lender may require
the relevant Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each
payment of interest on each of such Foreign Currency Loans, additional interest
on such Foreign Currency Loan at a rate per annum equal to the mandatory costs
rate (the “Mandatory Costs Rate”) calculated in accordance with the
formula and in the manner set forth in Exhibit K to the Existing Credit Agreement.

 

(b) If
and so long as any Revolving Lender is required to comply with reserve assets,
liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority
(including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the European
System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in the Statutory
Reserve Rate or the Mandatory Costs Rate) in respect of any of such Revolving
Lender’s Foreign Currency Loans, such Revolving Lender may require the relevant
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of
interest on each of such Revolving Lender’s Foreign Currency Loans subject to
such requirements, additional interest on such Foreign Currency Loan at a rate
per annum specified by such Revolving Lender to be the cost to such Revolving
Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such Foreign Currency
Loan.

 

(c) Any
additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above
shall be determined by the relevant Revolving Lender, which determination shall
be conclusive absent manifest error, and notified to the Parent Borrower (on
behalf of the relevant Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) at least five Business Days before each date on which
interest is payable for the relevant Foreign Currency Loan, and such additional
interest so notified by such Revolving Lender shall be payable to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Revolving Lender on each date on
which interest is payable for such Foreign Currency Loan.

 

SECTION 2.21.  Designation of Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers.  The Parent Borrower may
at any time and from time to time designate any Foreign Subsidiary as a Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower, by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowing Agreement executed by such Foreign Subsidiary and the
Parent Borrower, and upon such delivery such Foreign Subsidiary shall for all
purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents be a Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower until the 

 

84

 

Parent Borrower shall
terminate such designation pursuant to a termination agreement satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent, whereupon such Foreign Subsidiary shall cease to be a
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and a party to this Agreement and any other
applicable Loan Documents. 
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, but subject to Section 10.04(a),
no such termination will become effective as to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower
at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower is outstanding.  As
soon as practicable upon receipt of a Foreign Subsidiary Borrowing Agreement,
the Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Lender.

 

SECTION 2.22.  Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Costs.  (a) If the cost to any Revolving Lender
of making or maintaining any Foreign Currency Loan to a Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower is increased (or the amount of any sum received or receivable by any
Revolving Lender (or its applicable lending office) is reduced) by an amount
deemed in good faith by such Revolving Lender to be material, by reason of the
fact that such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is incorporated in, or conducts
business in, a jurisdiction outside the United States, such Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower shall indemnify such Revolving Lender for such increased
cost or reduction within 15 days after demand by such Revolving Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent). 
A certificate of such Revolving Lender claiming compensation under this
paragraph and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it
hereunder (and the basis for the calculation of such amount or amounts) shall
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

 

(b) Each
Revolving Lender will promptly notify the Parent Borrower (on behalf of the
relevant Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) and the Administrative Agent of any event
of which it has knowledge that will entitle such Revolving Lender to additional
interest or payments pursuant to paragraph (a) above, but in any
event within 45 days after such Revolving Lender obtains actual knowledge
thereof; provided that (i) if any Revolving Lender fails to give
such notice within 45 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an
event, such Revolving Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable
pursuant to this Section 2.22 in respect of any costs resulting from such
event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 2.22 for costs
incurred from and after the date 45 days prior to the date that such
Revolving Lender does give such notice and (ii) each Revolving Lender will
designate a different applicable lending office, if, in the judgment of such
Revolving Lender, such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the
amount of, such compensation and will not be otherwise disadvantageous to such
Revolving Lender.

 

SECTION 2.23.  Increase in or Conversion of Commitments.  (a)The Parent Borrower, by written notice to
the Administrative Agent, may (i) (A) from time to time request that
the Class A Revolving Commitments be increased and (B) on one
occasion, request that the Revolving Commitments be increased pursuant to the
creation of an additional class of Revolving Commitments (“Class C
Revolving Commitments” and the lender or lenders providing such Class C
Revolving Commitments, the “Class C Revolving Lenders”), which Class C
Revolving Commitments shall have the terms described in paragraph (e) below;
provided that (x) the aggregate amount of the Class C 

 

85

 

Revolving Commitments shall
not exceed $7,500,000 and (y) the aggregate amount of the Revolving
Commitments after giving effect to any increase in Revolving Commitments
pursuant to this clause (i) shall not exceed $90,000,000 and (ii) from
time to time convert the Class B Revolving Commitment of any Class B
Revolving Lender (that shall have elected in writing to so convert) to a Class A
Revolving Commitment, provided that no Class B Revolving Lender
shall have any obligation to so convert. 
Any such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the requested
increase or conversion, (ii) the date on which such increase or conversion
is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 Business Days
or more than 60 days after the date of such notice unless otherwise agreed by
the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent) and (iii) each financial
institution that is willing to extend Class A Revolving Commitments or Class C
Revolving Commitments and each Class B Revolving Lender that is willing to
convert its Class B Revolving Commitment to a Class A Revolving
Commitment, as applicable (each, a “New Revolving Lender”); provided
that each New Revolving Lender shall be subject to the approval of the
Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) and each New Revolving Lender shall execute all such documentation as
the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its Class A
Revolving Commitment or its Class C Revolving Commitment and/or its status
as a Class A Revolving Lender or a Class C Revolving Lender
hereunder, as the case may be.

 

(b) On
the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) of any increase in
the Class A Revolving Commitments or addition of Class C Revolving
Commitments or conversion of Class B Revolving Commitments pursuant to
this Section 2.23 (a “Commitment Increase”) (i) if any Class A
Revolving Loans are outstanding, the Parent Borrower (A) shall prepay all Class A
Revolving Loans then outstanding (including all accrued but unpaid interest
thereon) and (B) may, at its option, fund such prepayment by
simultaneously borrowing Class A Revolving Loans (and, if applicable,
loans under the Class C Revolving Commitments) in accordance with this
Agreement, which Class A Revolving Loans (and, if applicable, loans under
the Class C Revolving Commitments) shall be made by the Class A
Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective unused Revolving
Commitments (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) and (ii) in
the case of any conversion of a Class B Revolving Commitment to a Class A
Revolving Commitment, if any Class B Revolving Loans are outstanding, the
Parent Borrower (A) shall prepay all Class B Revolving Loans then
outstanding (including all accrued but unpaid interest thereon) and (ii) may,
at its option, fund such prepayment by simultaneously borrowing Class B
Revolving Loans in accordance with this Agreement, which Class B Revolving
Loans shall be made by the Class B Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance
with their respective Class B Revolving Applicable Percentages (calculated
after giving effect to the conversion of such New Class A Revolving
Lender’s Class B Revolving Commitment into a Class A Revolving
Commitment).  The payments made pursuant
to clauses (i) and (ii) above in respect of Eurodollar Revolving
Loans of each Class shall be subject to Section 2.16.

 

86

 

(c) New
Class A Revolving Commitments or Class C Revolving Commitments created
pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall become effective on the date specified
in the notice delivered by the Parent Borrower pursuant to the first sentence
of paragraph (a) above unless otherwise agreed by the Parent Borrower and
the Administrative Agent.  Any Commitment
Increase shall become effective pursuant to an amendment (the “Incremental
Amendment”) to this Agreement executed by the Parent Borrower, each New
Revolving Lender and the Administrative Agent. 
Any Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders,
effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be
necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent
and the Parent Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section.

 

(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no increase in the total Class A Revolving Commitments
(including any increase resulting from the conversion of Class B Revolving
Commitments) or addition of Class C Revolving Commitments or addition of a
New Revolving Lender shall become effective under this Section unless (i) on
the effective date of such increase or addition, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02
shall be satisfied as though a Borrowing were being made on such date and the
Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated
such date and executed by the President, a Vice President or a Financial
Officer of Holdings and the Parent Borrower and (ii) the Administrative
Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the Class A
Revolving Lenders and, if applicable, Class C Revolving Lenders) documents
consistent with those delivered on the Restatement Effective Date as to the
corporate power and authority of the Parent Borrower to borrow hereunder after
giving effect to such increase or addition (or, if such documents delivered on
the Restatement Effective Date already contemplate an increase in an amount at
least equal to the amount of such increase, stating that such documents remain
in full force and effect on the date of such increase and have not been
annulled, modified, rescinded or revoked).

 

(e) Any
Class C Revolving Commitments shall have the same terms as those
applicable to Class A Revolving Commitments hereunder (including maturity,
interest rate margin and commitment fees) and shall be treated as Class A
Revolving Commitments for all purposes, except that Class C Revolving
Lenders shall not participate in Revolving Letters of Credit or Swingline
Loans.

 

SECTION 2.24.  Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, if any Class A Revolving Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as
such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

 

(a) Fees
shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Class A Revolving
Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a).

 

87

 

(b) The
Class A Revolving Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such
Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the requisite
Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to
any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 10.02); provided that any
waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each
affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other
affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

 

(c) If
any Swingline Exposure or Revolving LC Exposure exists at the time a Class A
Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then (i) all or any part of
such Swingline Exposure and Revolving LC Exposure shall be reallocated among
the Class A Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in
accordance with their respective Class A Revolving Applicable Percentages
but only to the extent (x) the sum of all such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Class A
Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and
Revolving LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all such non-Defaulting
Lenders’ Class A Revolving Commitments and (y) the conditions set
forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time.  In the case of any such reallocation, the
fees payable to the Class A Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and
Section 2.12(b)(i) shall be adjusted in accordance with such
non-Defaulting Lenders’ Class A Revolving Applicable Percentages.

 

(d) If
the reallocation described in clause (c) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the Parent Borrower shall, within one Business Day
following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such
Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting
Lender’s Revolving LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation
pursuant to clause (c) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth
in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such Revolving LC Exposure is
outstanding.  In the case of any such
cash collateralization, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to pay any
fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(i) with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving LC Exposure for so long as such
Defaulting Lender’s Revolving LC Exposure is cash collateralized.

 

(e) If
any Defaulting Lender’s Revolving LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized
nor reallocated pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) above, then, without
prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Class A
Revolving Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender hereunder, all participation
fees payable under Section 2.12(b)(i) with respect to such Defaulting
Lender’s Revolving LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such
LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated pursuant to paragraph (c) and
(d) above.

 

(f) So
long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be
required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required
to issue, amend or increase any Revolving Letter of Credit, unless it is
satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Class A
Revolving 

 

88

 

Commitments
of the Class A Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders and/or
cash collateral will be provided by the Parent Borrower in accordance with
paragraph (c) above, and participating interests in any such newly issued
or increased Revolving Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be
allocated among Class A Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders
in a manner consistent with paragraph (c) above (and Defaulting Lenders
shall not participate therein).

 

(g) Any
amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of
principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would
otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.18,
but excluding Section 2.19(b)) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such
Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated
account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such
time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first,
to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of
any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or Swingline
Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Class A
Revolving Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participating
interest in any Swingline Loan or Revolving Letter of Credit in respect of
which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required
by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth,
if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, held in
such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the
Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Parent Borrower or the Class A
Revolving Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by the Parent Borrower or any Class A Revolving
Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, to such
Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the
principal amount of any Class A Revolving Loans or reimbursement
obligations in respect of Revolving LC Disbursements which a Defaulting Lender
has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied, such payment shall be
applied solely to prepay the Class A Revolving Loans of, and reimbursement
obligations owed to, all Class A Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting
Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Class A
Revolving Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

 

(h) In
the event that the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower, the Issuing Bank
and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately
remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then
the Swingline Exposure and Revolving LC Exposure of the Class A Revolving
Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s 

 

89

 

Commitment
and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Class A
Revolving Loans of the other Class A Revolving Lenders (but not Swingline
Loans) as the Administrative shall determine may be necessary in order for such
Lender to hold such Class A Revolving Loans in accordance with its Class A
Revolving Applicable Percentage.

Effect.

Holdings, the Parent Borrower or such Subsidiary (including the Receivables
Subsidiaries), as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to
the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

SECTION 3.10.  ERISA. 
No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that,
when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is
reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.  As of the First
Restatement Effective Date, the present value of all accumulated benefit

purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not,
as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts,

underfunded Plans.

 

SECTION 3.11.  Disclosure.  Each of Holdings and the Parent Borrower has
disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other
restrictions to which Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
(including the Receivables Subsidiary) is subject, and all other matters known

by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other
information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits
to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided

Borrower represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based
upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time such projections were
prepared.

 

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

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

 

SECTION 3.13.  Insurance.  Schedule 3.13 sets forth a description of all
material insurance policies maintained by or on behalf of Holdings, the Parent
Borrower and the Subsidiaries as of the First Restatement Effective Date.  As of the First Restatement Effective Date,
all premiums due in respect of such insurance have been paid.

 

93

 

SECTION 3.14.  Labor Matters.  As of the Restatement Effective Date, there
are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against Holdings, the Parent Borrower or
any Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Parent Borrower,

Borrower or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against

employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or
accrued as a liability on the books of Holdings, the Parent Borrower or such
Subsidiary except for those which, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The consummation of the Transactions or
Restatement Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or
right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining
agreement to which Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound.

 

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

Indebtedness” under and as defined in the Subordinated Notes Documents.

in such Collateral (other than the Intellectual Property (as defined in the
Security Agreement)), in each case prior and superior in right to any other
Person, other than with respect to Liens permitted by Section 6.02.

 

(c) When
the Security Agreement (or a summary thereof) is filed in the
United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States
Copyright Office and the financing statements referred to in Section 3.17(b) above
are appropriately filed, the security interest created by the Security
Agreement shall constitute a perfected security interest in all right, title
and interest of the grantors thereunder in the Intellectual Property (as
defined in the Security Agreement) in which a security interest may be
perfected by filing, recording or registering a security agreement, financing
statement or analogous document in the United States Patent and Trademark
Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, in each case prior
and superior in right to any other Person (it being understood that subsequent
recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the
United States Copyright Office and subsequent UCC filings may be necessary
to perfect a lien on registered trademarks, trademark applications and
copyrights acquired by the Loan Parties after the Original Effective Date),
other than with respect to Liens permitted by Section 6.02.

 

(d) The
Mortgages are effective to create, subject to the exceptions listed in each
title insurance policy covering such Mortgage, in favor of the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable
Lien on all of the applicable mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to
the Mortgaged Properties thereunder and the proceeds thereof, and when the
Mortgages are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.17(d), the Lien
created by each Mortgage shall constitute a perfected Lien on all right, title
and interest of the applicable mortgagor in such Mortgaged Properties and the
proceeds thereof, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person,
other than with respect to the rights of Persons pursuant to Liens permitted by
Section 6.02.

 

(e) Following
the execution of any Foreign Security Document pursuant to Section 4.03,

enforceable security interest in the applicable collateral covered by such
Foreign Security Document, and when the actions specified in such Foreign
Security Document, if any, are completed, the security interest created by such
Foreign Security Document shall constitute a perfected security interest in all
right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in such collateral to the
full extent possible under the laws of the applicable foreign jurisdiction, in
each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than with
respect to Liens permitted by Section 6.02.

 

SECTION 3.18.  Federal Reserve Regulations.  (a) None of Holdings, the Parent Borrower

(b) No
part of the proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit will be used, whether

general corporate purposes and, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01(a)(i),
Permitted Acquisitions.  Letters of
Credit will be available only for general corporate purposes.  No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be
used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation
of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations T, U and X.

aggregate are acquired by the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party
after the Original Effective Date or through the acquisition of a Subsidiary
Loan Party under Section 5.12 (other than, in each case, assets
constituting Collateral under the Security Agreement or the Pledge Agreement
that become subject to the Lien of the Security Agreement or the Pledge
Agreement upon acquisition thereof), the Parent Borrower or, if applicable, the
relevant Subsidiary Loan Party will notify the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders thereof, and, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or
the Required Lenders, the Parent Borrower will cause such assets to be
subjected to a Lien securing the Obligations and will take, and cause the
Subsidiary Loan Parties to take, such actions as shall be necessary or
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such

and (z) any other outstanding Indebtedness that may not be reborrowed

Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by

Borrowers and the 

 

121

 

Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers), take either or
both of the following actions, at the same or different times:  (i) terminate

the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest
thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Parent Borrower, any
Subsidiary Term Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower accrued hereunder,

Borrower, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers.

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

The Administrative Agent

 

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank
hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (it being understood that
reference in this Article VIII to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed
to include the Collateral Agent) as its agent and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

 

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

 

The Administrative Agent shall not have any
duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan
Documents.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be
subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall
not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to
exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage
of the Lenders as shall be 

 

122

 

necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (c) except as
expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not
have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose,
any information relating to Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable
for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of
the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as
shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02)
or in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not
to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is
given to the Administrative Agent by Holdings, the Parent Borrower, a
Subsidiary Term Borrower, a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or a Lender, and the
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain
or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or
in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any
certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection
therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants,
agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or
any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of
any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document,
other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to
the Administrative Agent.

 

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

 

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

 

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of
a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the
Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the
Issuing Bank and the Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself, the Subsidiary Term
Borrowers and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers).  Upon any such 

 

123

 

resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Parent Borrower and, if
applicable, the relevant Subsidiary Term Borrower and Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower, to appoint a successor from among the Lenders.  If no successor shall have been so appointed
by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within
30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which
shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate
of any such bank.  Upon the acceptance of
its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder.  The fees payable by the
Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers and the Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers) to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as
those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Parent
Borrower (on behalf of itself, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers and the Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers) and such successor. 
After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions
of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the
benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

 

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

 

The Lenders identified in this Agreement as
the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agents shall not have any right,
power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other
than those applicable to all Lenders. 
Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Syndication Agent or the
Documentation Agents shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship
with any Lender.  Each Lender hereby
makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the Syndication Agent and the
Documentation Agents as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent or
any other Lender in this Article VIII.

 

ARTICLE IX

 

Collection Allocation Mechanism

 

SECTION 9.01.  Implementation of CAM.  (a) On the CAM Exchange Date, (i) the
Commitments shall automatically and without further act be terminated as 

 

124

 

provided in Article VII, (ii) all Foreign Currency Borrowings
and the Commitments to make Foreign Currency Loans shall be converted into, and
all such amounts due thereunder shall accrue and be payable in, dollars at the
Exchange Rate on such date and (iii) the Lenders shall automatically and
without further act (and without regard to the provisions of Section 10.04)
be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Credit Facilities such that in
lieu of the interest of each Lender in each Credit Facility in which it shall
participate as of such date (including such Lender’s interest in the Specified
Obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such Credit Facility), such
Lender shall hold an interest in every one of the Credit Facilities (including
the Specified Obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such Credit
Facility and each LC Reserve Account established pursuant to Section 9.02
below), whether or not such Lender shall previously have participated therein,
equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage thereof. 
Each Lender and each Loan Party hereby consents and agrees to the CAM
Exchange, and each Lender agrees that the CAM Exchange shall be binding upon
its successors and assigns and any person that acquires a participation in its
interests in any Credit Facility.

 

(b) As a result of the CAM Exchange,
upon and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in
respect of the Specified Obligations, and each distribution made by the
Collateral Agent pursuant to any Security Documents in respect of the Specified
Obligations, shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with
their respective CAM Percentages.  Any
direct payment received by a Lender upon or after the CAM Exchange Date,
including by way of setoff, in respect of a Specified Obligation shall be paid
over to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders in accordance
herewith.

 

SECTION 9.02.  Letters of Credit.  (a) In the event that on the CAM
Exchange Date any Revolving Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and undrawn
in whole or in part, or any amount drawn under a Revolving Letter of Credit
shall not have been reimbursed either by the Parent Borrower or any Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, or with the proceeds of a Revolving
Loan, each Class A Revolving Lender shall promptly pay over to the
Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds and in the currency that
such Letters of Credit are denominated, an amount equal to such Class A
Revolving Lender’s Class A Revolving Applicable Percentage (as notified to
such Lender by the Administrative Agent) of such Letter of Credit’s undrawn
face amount or (to the extent it has not already done so) such Letter of
Credit’s unreimbursed drawing, together with interest thereon from the CAM
Exchange Date to the date on which such amount shall be paid to the
Administrative Agent at the rate that would be applicable at the time to an ABR
Class A Revolving Loan in a principal amount equal to such amount, as the
case may be.  The Administrative Agent
shall establish a separate account or accounts for each Class A Revolving
Lender (each, an “LC Reserve Account”) for the amounts received with
respect to each such Letter of Credit pursuant to the preceding sentence.  The Administrative Agent shall deposit in
each Class A Revolving Lender’s LC Reserve Account such Lender’s CAM
Percentage of the amounts received from the Class A Revolving Lenders as
provided above.  The Administrative Agent
shall have sole dominion and control over each LC Reserve Account, and the 

 

125

 

amounts deposited in each LC Reserve Account shall be held in such LC
Reserve Account until withdrawn as provided in paragraph (b), (c), (d) or
(e) below.  The Administrative Agent
shall maintain records enabling it to determine the amounts paid over to it and
deposited in the LC Reserve Accounts in respect of each Revolving Letter of
Credit and the amounts on deposit in respect of each Revolving Letter of Credit
attributable to each Lender’s CAM Percentage. 
The amounts held in each Lender’s LC Reserve Account shall be held as a
reserve against the Revolving LC Exposure, shall be the property of such
Lender, shall not constitute Loans to or give rise to any claim of or against
any Loan Party and shall not give rise to any obligation on the part of the
Parent Borrower or the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers to pay interest to such
Lender, it being agreed that the reimbursement obligations in respect of
Revolving Letters of Credit shall arise only at such times as drawings are made
thereunder, as provided in Section 2.05.

 

(b) In the event that after the CAM
Exchange Date any drawing shall be made in respect of a Revolving Letter of
Credit, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Issuing Bank,
withdraw from the LC Reserve Account of each Class A Revolving Lender any
amounts, up to the amount of such Lender’s CAM Percentage of such drawing,
deposited in respect of such Letter of Credit and remaining on deposit and
deliver such amounts to the Issuing Bank in satisfaction of the reimbursement
obligations of the Class A Revolving Lenders under Section 2.05(e) (but
not of the Parent Borrower and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers under Section 2.05(f),
respectively).  In the event any Class A
Revolving Lender shall default on its obligation to pay over any amount to the
Administrative Agent in respect of any Revolving Letter of Credit as provided
in this Section 9.02, the Issuing Bank shall, in the event of a drawing
thereunder, have a claim against such Class A Revolving Lender to the same
extent as if such Lender had defaulted on its obligations under Section 2.05(e),
but shall have no claim against any other Lender in respect of such defaulted
amount, notwithstanding the exchange of interests in the reimbursement
obligations pursuant to Section 9.01. 
Each other Lender shall have a claim against such defaulting Class A
Revolving Lender for any damages sustained by it as a result of such default,
including, in the event such Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, its CAM
Percentage of the defaulted amount.

 

(c) In the event that after the CAM
Exchange Date any Revolving Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, the
Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the LC Reserve Account of each Class A
Revolving Lender the amount remaining on deposit therein in respect of such
Letter of Credit and distribute such amount to such Lender.

 

(d) With the prior written approval of
the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, any Class A Revolving
Lender may withdraw the amount held in its LC Reserve Account in respect of the
undrawn amount of any Revolving Letter of Credit.  Any Class A Revolving Lender making such
a withdrawal shall be unconditionally obligated, in the event there shall
subsequently be a drawing under such Letter of Credit, to pay over to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank on demand, its CAM Percentage of
such drawing.

 

126

 

(e) Pending the withdrawal by any Class A
Revolving Lender of any amounts from its LC Reserve Account as contemplated by
the above paragraphs, the Administrative Agent will, at the direction of such
Lender and subject to such rules as the Administrative Agent may prescribe
for the avoidance of inconvenience, invest such amounts in Permitted Investments.  Each Class A Revolving Lender that has
not withdrawn its CAM Percentage of amounts in its LC Reserve Account as
provided in paragraph (d) above shall have the right, at intervals
reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent, to withdraw the earnings on
investments so made by the Administrative Agent with amounts in its LC Reserve
Account and to retain such earnings for its own account.

SECTION 10.02.  Waivers; Amendments.  (a) No failure or delay by the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or
power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power,
or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power.  The rights and remedies
of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document
or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this
Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be
construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such
Default at the time.

 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other
Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or
modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or
agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Parent Borrower, each
Subsidiary Term Borrower (but only to the extent such waiver, amendment or
modification relates to such Subsidiary Term Borrower), each Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower (but only to the extent such waiver, amendment or modification relates
to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower) and the Required Lenders or, in the case
of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties
that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required
Lenders; provided that 

 

128

 

no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender
without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal
amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon,
or reduce any fees payable hereunder, or reduce or forgive the Deposit Return,
without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone
the maturity of any Loan, or any scheduled date of payment of the principal
amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.10, or the required date of
reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any
interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce or forgive the amount of, waive
or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any
Commitment or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Letter of Credit
beyond the Commitment Termination Date, without the written consent of each
Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(a), (b) or (c) in
a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required
thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change the
percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other
provision of any Loan Document (including this Section) specifying the number
or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or
modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent
thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such
Class, as the case may be), (vi) release Holdings or any Subsidiary Loan
Party from its Guarantee under the Guarantee Agreement (except as expressly
provided in the Guarantee Agreement), or limit its liability in respect of such
Guarantee, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release all
or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents,
without the written consent of each Lender (except as expressly provided in the
Security Documents) or (viii) change any provisions of any Loan Document
in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of
payments due to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those
holding Loans of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders
holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments
of each affected Class; provided, further, that (A) no such
agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (B) any waiver, amendment or
modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties
under this Agreement of the Revolving Lenders (but not the Tranche B Lenders,
Tranche B-1 Lenders and Incremental Lenders), the Tranche B-1 Lenders (but not
the Revolving Lenders, Tranche B Lenders and Incremental Lenders) the Tranche B
Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders, Tranche B-1 Lenders and Incremental
Lenders), or the Incremental Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders, Tranche B
Lenders and Tranche B-1 Lenders) may be effected by an agreement or agreements
in writing entered into by Holdings, the Parent Borrower, each Subsidiary Term
Borrower (but only to the extent such waiver, amendment or modification relates
to such Subsidiary Term Borrower), each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower (but only
to the extent such waiver, amendment or modification relates to such Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower) and requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of
Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if
such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the
time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered
into by Holdings, the Parent Borrower, each 

 

129

 

Subsidiary Term Borrower (but only to the extent such waiver, amendment
or modification relates to such Subsidiary Term Borrower), each Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower (but only to the extent such waiver, amendment or
modification relates to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower), the Required Lenders
and the Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected
thereby, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender) if (i) by the terms of
such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment
provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment
and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not
consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of and interest
accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued
for its account under this Agreement.

 

(c) In connection with any proposed
amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring
the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, if the consent of the
Required Lenders (and, to the extent any Proposed Change requires the consent
of Lenders holding Loans of any Class pursuant to clause (v) or (viii) of
paragraph (b) of this Section, the consent of at least 50% in
interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of such Class) to such
Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other
Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose
consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being
referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is
acting as Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Parent
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such
Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject
to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights
and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment), provided that (a) the Parent Borrower shall have received the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving
Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender), which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (b) such Non-Consenting Lender
shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of
its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (c) the
Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the
processing and recordation fee specified in Section 10.04(b), (d) such
assignee shall consent to such Proposed Change and (e) if such

required to assign and delegate its interests, rights and obligations as
Administrative agent under this Agreement.

 

SECTION 10.03.  Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.  (a) Holdings, the Parent Borrower, each
Subsidiary Term Borrower and each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, jointly and
severally, shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Agents and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of one counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for each of the
Agents, in 

 

130

 

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

 

(b) Holdings, the Parent Borrower, each
Subsidiary Term Borrower and each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, jointly and
severally, shall indemnify the Agents, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and
each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being
called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from,
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses,
including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any
Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective
obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions, the Restatement
Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan
or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal
by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if
the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged
presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any Mortgaged Property or
any other property currently or formerly owned or operated by Holdings, the
Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in
any way to Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any
actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating
to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory
and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of
such Indemnitee.

 

(c) To the extent that Holdings, the
Parent Borrower, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers and the Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section (and without limiting such party’s obligation to
do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro
rata share (determined as of 

 

131

 

the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment
is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense
or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case
may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or a Swingline Lender in its capacity as such; provided  further
that to the extent indemnification of (i) the Issuing Bank in respect of a
Revolving Letter of Credit or (ii) the Swingline Lender is required
pursuant to this Section 10.03(c), such obligation will be limited to Class A
Revolving Lenders only.  For purposes
hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of
the sum of the total Revolving Exposures, outstanding Tranche B Term Loans,
unused Commitments and Tranche B-1 Total Commitment at the time.

 

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable
law, none of Holdings, the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary Term Borrower or any
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim
against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, the Restatement
Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

 

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall
be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

 

(f) Neither Heartland nor any director,
officer, employee, stockholder or member, as such, of any Loan Party or
Heartland shall have any liability for the Obligations or for any claim based
on, in respect of or by reason of the Obligations or their creation; provided
that the foregoing shall not be construed to relieve any Loan Party of its
Obligations under any Loan Document.

 

SECTION 10.04.  Successors and Assigns.  (a) The provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of
the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that, subject to Section 10.15(g),
none of Holdings, the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary Term Borrower or any
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights
or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and
any attempted assignment or transfer by Holdings, the Parent Borrower, any
Subsidiary Term Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower without such
consent shall be null and void).  Nothing
in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any
Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related
Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders)
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement.

 

(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more
assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its 

 

132

 

Commitments, the Loans at the time owing to it and its Deposit); provided  that (i) except in the case of an
assignment to a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund, each of the
Parent Borrower, each Subsidiary Term Borrower (but only to the extent such
assignment relates to a Tranche B Term Loan to such Subsidiary Term Borrower),
each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case
of an assignment of all or a portion of a Class A Revolving Commitment or
any Lender’s obligations in respect of its LC Exposure or Swingline Exposure,
the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender) must give their prior written
consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, a Lender
Affiliate 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 (x) in the
case of Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans, $5,000,000, and (y) in
the case of Tranche B-1 Commitments and Tranche B Term Loans and Tranche
B-1 Loans, $1,000,000 unless each of the Parent Borrower, each Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower (but only to the extent such assignment relates to Foreign
Currency Commitments or Foreign Currency Loans relating to such Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower) and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iii) each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of
all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, except
that this clause (iii) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment
of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in
respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans, (iv) notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, assignments by any Revolving Lender of any portion of
its Revolving Commitments or any portion of Revolving Loans must include a
ratable portion of its Foreign Currency Commitments and ratable portion of its
Foreign Currency Loans and visa versa, (v) the parties to each assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, (vi) the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and (vii) in connection with each assignment of a Tranche B-1 Commitment, Tranche
B-1 Loan or Tranche B-1 LC Exposure, (A) the Deposit of the assignor
Lender shall not be released, but shall instead be purchased by the relevant
assignee and continue to be held for application (to the extent not already
applied) in accordance with Article II to satisfy such assignee’s
obligations in respect of such Tranche B-1 Loans and such Tranche B-1 LC
Exposure and (B) each Lender agrees that immediately prior to each
assignment (1) the Administrative Agent shall establish a new Sub-Account
in the name of the assignee, (2) a corresponding portion of the Deposit
credited to the Sub-Account of the assignor Lender shall be purchased by the
assignee and shall be transferred from the assignor’s Sub-Account to the
assignee’s Sub-Account and (3) if after giving effect to such assignment
the Tranche B-1 Commitment of the assignor Lender shall be zero, the
Administrative Agent shall close the Sub-Account of such assignor Lender;
and provided  further that any consent of the Parent Borrower or
any Subsidiary Term Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower otherwise
required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default
under Article VII has occurred and is continuing.  Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
pursuant to 

 

133

 

paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall
be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement (provided that any liability of the Parent Borrower, any
Subsidiary Term Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to such assignee
under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 shall be limited to the amount, if any,
that would have been payable thereunder by the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary
Term Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower in the absence of such
assignment), and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and
10.03).  Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by
such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance
with paragraph (e) of this Section.

 

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

 

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

 

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent
of the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary Term Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender,
sell participations to one or more banks 

 

134

 

or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and the Loans and its Deposit owing to it); provided
that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Holdings,
the Parent Borrower, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers, the Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided
that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not,
without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or
waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that
affects such Participant.  Subject to
paragraph (f) of this Section, the Parent Borrower, the Subsidiary Term
Borrowers and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers agree that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as
though it were a Lender.

 

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Parent Borrower
and, to the extent applicable, each relevant Subsidiary Term Borrower and
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower.  A Participant
that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the
benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Parent Borrower and, to the extent
applicable, each relevant Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the
benefit of the Parent Borrower and, to the extent applicable, each relevant
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though
it were a Lender.

 

(g) Any Lender may, without the consent
of the Parent 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 shall
not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided
that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or
assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

SECTION 10.05.  Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to
this Agreement or any other 

 

135

 

Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other
parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit,
regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf
and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect
representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any
accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and
so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17
and 10.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and
effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of
Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any
provision hereof.

 

SECTION 10.06.  Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each
of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract.  This
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with
respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire
contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede
any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating
to the subject matter hereof.  This
Agreement shall become effective as provided in the Amendment and Restatement
Agreement, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

 

SECTION 10.07.  Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

 

SECTION 10.08.  Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized
at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to
set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing
by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Parent
Borrower, any Subsidiary Term Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower
against any of and all the obligations of the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary
Term Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower now or hereafter existing
under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such
Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such
obligations may be unmatured.  The rights
of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

 

136

 

SECTION 10.09.  Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to
Service of Process.  (a) This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the
State of New York.

 

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

 

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

 

(d) Each party to this Agreement
irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices
in Section 10.01.  Nothing in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this
Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

SECTION 10.10.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN  ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON
CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). 
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO 

 

137

 

ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE
OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 

SECTION 10.11.  Headings.  Article and Section headings and
the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are
not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be
taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

 

SECTION 10.12.  Confidentiality.  Each of the 
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Lender Affiliates’
directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel
and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential pursuant to
the terms hereof), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory or
quasi-regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws
or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any
other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or
thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative
transaction relating to the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary Term Borrower, any
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and their respective obligations, (g) with the
consent of the Parent Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) is
publicly available at the time of disclosure or becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than Holdings, the Parent Borrower or
any Subsidiary (including the Receivables Subsidiary).  For the purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any
Subsidiary  (including the Receivables
Subsidiary) relating to Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary
(including the Receivables Subsidiary) or its business, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or
any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings, the
Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary (including the Receivables Subsidiary); provided
that, in the case of information received from Holdings, the Parent Borrower or
any Subsidiary (including the Receivables Subsidiary) after the First
Restatement Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time
of delivery as confidential.  Any Person
required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall
be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 

138

 

SECTION 10.13.  Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together
with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such
Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for,
charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in
accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such
Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be
limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges
that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a
result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the
interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or
periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such
cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective
Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

 

SECTION 10.14.  Judgment Currency.  (a) The obligations hereunder of the
Parent Borrower, the Subsidiary Term Borrowers and the Foreign Subsidiary
Borrowers and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in dollars or in
the Foreign Currencies, as the case may be, (the “Obligation Currency”)
shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any
judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation
Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the
effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Lender
of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lender under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents.  If, for the
purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Parent Borrower, any
Subsidiary Term Borrower, any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or any other Loan
Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into
or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency
being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due
in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the Dollar
Equivalent of such amount, in each case, as of the date immediately preceding
the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter
referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

 

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

 

139

 

(c) For purposes of determining the
Dollar Equivalent, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in
connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

 

SECTION 10.15.  Obligations Joint and Several.  (a) Each Term Loan Borrower agrees that
it shall, jointly with the other Term Loan Borrowers and severally, be liable
for all the Obligations in respect of the Tranche B Term Loans (the “Term
Loan Obligations”).  Each Term Loan
Borrower further agrees that the Term Loan Obligations of the other Term Loan
Borrowers may be extended and renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to
or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its agreement
hereunder notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Term Loan Obligation
of the other Term Loan Borrowers.

 

(b) Each Term Loan Borrower waives
presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the other Term Loan
Borrowers of any of the Term Loan Obligations or the other Term Loan Borrowers
of any Term Loan Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its
obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment.  The Term Loan Obligations of a Term Loan
Borrower hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Tranche
B Lender or the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against
the other Term Loan Borrowers under the provisions of this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver,
amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement,
any of the other Loan Documents or any other agreement; or (iii) the
failure of any Tranche B Lender or the Issuing Bank to exercise any right or
remedy against any other Term Loan Borrower.

 

(c) Each Term Loan Borrower further
agrees that its agreement hereunder constitutes a promise of payment when due
and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by
any Tranche B Lender or the Issuing Bank to any balance of any deposit account
or credit on the books of any Tranche B Lender or the Issuing Bank in favor of
any other Term Loan Borrower or any other person.

 

(d) The Term Loan Obligations of each
Term Loan Borrower hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation,
impairment or termination for any reason, including compromise, and shall not
be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the
Term Loan Obligations of the other Term Loan Borrowers or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Term Loan Obligations of each Term Loan Borrower hereunder shall
not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Tranche B Lender or the
Issuing Bank to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this
Agreement or under any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any
waiver or modification in respect of any thereof, by any default, failure or
delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Term Loan Obligations of
the other Term Loan Borrowers or by any other act or omission which may or
might in any manner or to any

extent vary the risk of such Term Loan Borrower or otherwise operate as
a discharge of such Term Loan Borrower as a matter of law or equity.

 

(e) Each Term Loan Borrower further
agrees that its obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
principal of or interest on any Term Loan Obligation of the other Term Loan
Borrowers is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Tranche B Lender or the Issuing Bank upon
the bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the other Term Loan Borrowers or
otherwise.

 

(f) In furtherance of the foregoing and
not in limitation of any other right which the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or any Tranche B Lender or the Issuing Bank may have at law or
in equity against any Term Loan Borrower by virtue hereof, upon the failure of
a Term Loan Borrower to pay any Term Loan Obligation when and as the same shall
become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or
otherwise, each other Term Loan Borrower hereby promises to and will, upon
receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent, forthwith pay, or cause
to be paid, in cash the amount of such unpaid Term Loan Obligations, and
thereupon each Tranche B Lender shall, in a reasonable manner, assign the
amount of the Term Loan Obligations of the other Term Loan Borrowers owed to it
and paid by such Term Loan Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.15 to such
Term Loan Borrower, such assignment to be pro
tanto to the extent to which the Term Loan Obligations in question
were discharged by such Term Loan Borrower or make such disposition thereof as
such Term Loan Borrower shall direct (all without recourse to any Term Loan
Lender and without any representation or warranty by any Term Loan Lender).

 

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision
herein, the Parent Borrower shall be entitled, at any time and in its sole
discretion, to designate any Term Loan Borrower (including itself) to replace
any other Term Borrower as a borrower hereunder with respect to any outstanding
Tranche B Term Loans.
