BIRDS EYE FOODS

MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM

 

Birds Eye Foods Management
Incentive Program is a discretionary annual cash bonus program. The objective
of the program is to align key managers’ financial objectives with those of
Birds Eye Foods owners. The Plan recognizes the impact key managers can have on
the achievement of Birds Eye Foods’ business goals by rewarding those
achievements.

 

Participation

 

Participation is limited to a
group of key managers selected by the management executive committee and
approved by the board of directors. Participation will be determined each year,
and participation in one year does not guarantee participation in future years.

 

Target Bonus Awards

 

Individual target bonus
awards are established solely to create a bonus pool. Each participating
manager’s target bonus award, or bonus opportunity, is based on competitive
bonuses paid at other food companies which are similar in size to Birds Eye
Foods and is expressed as a percentage of base salary paid during the fiscal
year. The sum of these individual target bonus awards represents the company’s
target bonus pool.

 

Vice President, Director, and
Facility Managers- Target bonus percentages for salaried exempt employees at a
vice president, director or facility manager level are determined according to
a sliding scale.

 

All other selected
participants- Any other managers selected to participate in this program have a
target bonus percentage of 10% of base salary paid during the fiscal year.

 

Targeted Bonus Pool

 

The sum of all participants’
individual target bonus awards creates the overall target bonus pool.

 

Performance Targets

 

Approximately seventy percent
(70%) of the bonus pool will be based on EBITDA pre-incentives. Approximately
twenty percent (20%) of the bonus pool will be based on debt levels and working
capital management. The remaining ten percent (10%) of the bonus pool will be
based on Board discretionary goals established by the Board of Directors. The
performance targets and this program overall are subject to change each year to
insure they are consistent with Birds Eye Foods annual business objectives and
strategic direction.

 

 

Incentive Awards

 

All individual awards are
discretionary and will be determined by the Management Executive Committee member
based on the associate’s individual performance, with final approval of the
Birds Eye Foods CEO. Therefore, favorable performance of Birds Eye Foods as a
whole does not guarantee a bonus payment to any individual participant; rather
it represents bonus opportunity. Participants’ individual target bonuses are
used solely to create the overall target bonus pool. Birds Eye Foods’
performance against pre-established targets will either increase or decrease
the bonus pool. The allocation to each individual of this bonus pool is totally
discretionary, based on individual performance. The maximum award any
participant may receive is 200% of his or her individual target bonus. Any
participant receiving a performance rating of ‘Below Expectations’ will be
ineligible for an annual bonus award.

 

The Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors must approve all bonus payments before they are paid.

 

Payment of Bonuses

 

Individual bonus awards will
be paid via payroll on the September 15th following each fiscal year end. (“Highly
compensated employees” have the ability to defer all or a portion of their
annual bonus into the Non-qualified 401(k) Plan.) The payments are subject to
the appropriate income and payroll tax withholding, 401(k) deductions, and
court-ordered garnishments. Deferred awards are subject to FICA withholding in
the year they are earned.

 

In order to receive an award,
an individual must be an actively employed associate of the company and on the
active payroll on the September 15th payment date. Exceptions to this are for
retirement, disability or death, which may occasion pro-rata payments, based
upon actual salary earned during the fiscal year. Any other exceptions are to
be made only with the approval of the Birds Eye Foods CEO.

 

Future of the Program

 

This program is reviewed
annually by the Company and its board of directors to insure that it is
consistent with the company’s business objectives. The Company reserves the
right to amend or terminate this Program at any time, at its discretion.Exhibit 10.6

As used in this Credit Agreement, the following
terms shall have the meanings specified below unless the context otherwise

Lender of, standby and trade Letters of Credit in Dollars from time to time

and (ii) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
Revolving Loans plus LOC Obligations plus Swingline Loans shall
not at any time exceed the Revolving Committed Amount. No Letter of Credit
shall (x) have an original expiry date more than one year from the date of
issuance (provided that any such Letter of Credit may contain customary “evergreen”
provisions pursuant to which the expiry date is automatically extended by a
specific time period unless the Issuing Lender gives notice to the beneficiary
of such Letter of Credit at least a specified time period prior to the expiry
date then in effect) or (y) as originally issued or as extended, have an
expiry date extending beyond the date five (5) days prior to the Maturity

which would violate any Requirement of Law applicable to the Issuing Lender.
Each Letter of Credit shall comply with the related LOC Documents. The issuance
and expiry dates of each Letter of Credit shall be a Business Day.  For purposes of this Credit Agreement, the
Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued on the Closing
Date.

 

(b)   NOTICE AND
REPORTS. The request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be submitted
by an Executive Officer of the Borrower to the Issuing Lender and the
Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
requested date of issuance. The Issuing Lender will provide to the
Administrative Agent, at least quarterly and more frequently upon request, who
will in turn disseminate to each of the Lenders a detailed report specifying
the Letters of Credit which are then issued and outstanding and any activity
with respect thereto which may have occurred since the date of the prior
report, and including therein, among other things, the beneficiary, the face
amount and the expiry date, as well as any payment or expirations which may
have occurred.

 

(c)   PARTICIPATION.
Each Revolving Lender, upon issuance of a Letter of Credit (or, in the case of
each Existing Letter of Credit, on the Closing Date), shall be deemed to have
purchased without recourse a Participation Interest from the Issuing Lender in
such Letter of Credit and the obligations arising thereunder and any collateral
relating thereto, in each case in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the
obligations under such Letter of Credit (based on the respective Revolving
Commitment Percentages of the Revolving Lenders) and shall absolutely,
unconditionally and irrevocably assume and be obligated to pay to the Issuing
Lender and discharge when due, its pro rata share of the obligations arising
under such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the scope and nature of each
Revolving Lender’s Participation Interest in any Letter of Credit, to the
extent that the Issuing Lender has not been reimbursed as required hereunder or
under any such Letter of Credit, each such Revolving Lender shall pay to the 

 

41

 

Administrative
Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender its pro rata share of such
unreimbursed drawing in same day funds on the day of notification by the
Administrative Agent of an unreimbursed drawing pursuant to the provisions of
subsection (d) below. The obligation of each Revolving Lender to so
reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not
be affected by the occurrence of a Default, an Event of Default or any other
occurrence or event. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise
impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender under any
Letter of Credit, together with interest as hereinafter provided.

 

(d)   REIMBURSEMENT. In
the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender will
promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower
shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender that
the Borrower intends to otherwise reimburse the Issuing Lender for such
drawing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that the Revolving
Lenders make a Revolving Loan in the amount of the drawing as provided in
subsection (e) below on the related Letter of Credit, the proceeds of
which will be used to satisfy the related reimbursement obligations. The
Borrower promises to reimburse the Issuing Lender on the day on which the
Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of a drawing under any Letter of Credit
(either with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan obtained hereunder or deemed to
have been requested hereunder or otherwise) in same day funds provided such
notice is received by the Borrower from the Issuing Lender on or before 12:00
Noon (New York City time) (otherwise such payment shall be made on or before
12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the Business Day next succeeding the day
such notice is received). The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Issuing
Lender interest on the unreimbursed amount of any drawing under a Letter of
Credit at a per annum rate equal to (i) for the first two (2) Business
Days following the date of the related drawing, the Adjusted Base Rate and (ii) thereafter,
the Adjusted Base Rate plus 2%. The Borrower’s reimbursement obligations
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under all circumstances
irrespective of any rights of setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment the
Borrower may claim or have against the Issuing Lender (other than that the
payment of such drawing by the Issuing Lender constituted gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender), the
Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders, the beneficiary of the Letter of
Credit drawn upon or any other Person, including without limitation any defense
based on any failure of the Borrower or any other Credit Party to receive
consideration or the legality, validity, regularity or unenforceability of the
Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Administrative
Agent, who shall in turn, promptly notify the other Revolving Lenders of the
amount of any unreimbursed drawing and each Revolving Lender shall promptly pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender in Dollars
and in immediately available funds, the amount of such Revolving Lender’s pro
rata share of such unreimbursed drawing. Such payment shall be made on the day
such notice is received by such Revolving Lender from the Administrative Agent
if such notice is received at or before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time),
and otherwise such payment shall be made at or before 12:00 Noon (New York City
time) on the Business Day next succeeding the day such notice is received. If
such Revolving Lender does not pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Issuing Lender in full upon such request, such Revolving
Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Issuing Lender interest on the unpaid amount during the period from the date of
such drawing until such Revolving Lender pays such amount to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender in full at a rate per annum equal
to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of 

 

42

 

the
date that such Revolving Lender is required to make payments of such amount
pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Federal Funds Rate and thereafter at a
rate equal to the Base Rate. Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make such
payment to the Issuing Lender, and the right of the Issuing Lender to receive
the same, shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever and without regard to the termination of this Credit
Agreement or the Commitments hereunder, the existence of a Default or Event of
Default or the acceleration of the obligations of the Borrower hereunder and
shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever. Simultaneously with the making of each such payment by a Revolving
Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, such
Revolving Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the
part of the Issuing Lender or such Revolving Lender, acquire a Participation
Interest in an amount equal to such payment (excluding the portion of such
payment constituting interest owing to the Issuing Lender) in the related unreimbursed
drawing portion of the LOC Obligation and in the interest thereon and in the
related LOC Documents, and shall have a claim against the Borrower with respect
thereto.

 

(e)           REPAYMENT WITH REVOLVING LOANS. On
any day on which the Borrower shall have requested, or been deemed to have
requested, a Revolving Loan advance to reimburse a drawing under a Letter of
Credit, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Revolving Lenders
that a Revolving Loan has been requested or deemed requested by the Borrower to
be made in connection with a drawing under a Letter of Credit, in which case a
Revolving Loan advance comprised of Base Rate Loans (or Eurodollar Loans to the
extent the Borrower has complied with the procedures of Section 2.1(b)(i) with
respect thereto) shall be immediately made to the Borrower by all Revolving
Lenders (notwithstanding any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 9.2)
pro rata based on the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of the
Revolving Lenders (determined before giving effect to any termination of the
Commitments pursuant to Section 9.2) and the proceeds thereof shall be
paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender
for application to the respective LOC Obligations. Each such Revolving Lender
hereby irrevocably agrees to make its pro rata share of each such Revolving
Loan immediately upon any such request or deemed request in the amount, in the
manner and on the date specified in the preceding sentence notwithstanding (i) the
amount of such borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for advances of
Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions
specified in Section 5.2 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default
or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) failure for any such request or
deemed request for Revolving Loan to be made by the time otherwise required
hereunder, (v) whether the date of such borrowing is a date on which
Revolving Loans are otherwise permitted to be made hereunder or (vi) any
termination of the Commitments relating thereto prior to or contemporaneously
with such borrowing. In the event that any Revolving Loan cannot for any reason
be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as
a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with
respect to the Borrower or any other Credit Party), then each such Revolving
Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date such
borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received
from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the
Issuing Lender such Participation Interests in the outstanding LOC Obligations
as shall be necessary to cause each such Revolving Lender to share in such LOC
Obligations ratably (based upon the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages
of the Revolving Lenders (determined before giving effect to any termination of
the 

 

43

 

Commitments
pursuant to Section 9.2)), provided that at the time any purchase
of Participation Interests pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the
purchasing Revolving Lender shall be required to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, to the extent not paid to the
Issuing Lender by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of subsection (d) above,
interest on the principal amount of Participation Interests purchased for each
day from and including the day upon which such borrowing would otherwise have
occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such Participation Interests,
at the rate equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of the date of
the Revolving Loan advance, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter at a rate
equal to the Base Rate.

 

(f)    DESIGNATION OF
CONSOLIDATED PARTIES AS ACCOUNT PARTIES. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Credit Agreement, including without limitation Section 2.2(a),
a Letter of Credit issued hereunder may contain a statement to the effect that
such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any Subsidiary of the
Borrower, provided that notwithstanding such statement, the Borrower shall be
the actual account party for all purposes of this Credit Agreement for such
Letter of Credit and such statement shall not affect the Borrower’s
reimbursement obligations hereunder with respect to such Letter of Credit.

 

(g)   RENEWAL,
EXTENSION. The renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit shall, for purposes
hereof, be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of
Credit hereunder.

 

(h)   UNIFORM CUSTOMS
AND PRACTICES. The Issuing Lender may have the Letters of Credit be subject to
The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (the “UCP”) or the
International Standby Practices No. ISP1998 (the “ISP98”), in either case
as published as of the date of issue by the International Chamber of Commerce,
in which case the UCP or the ISP98, as applicable, may be incorporated therein
and deemed in all respects to be a part thereof.

 

(i)    INDEMNIFICATION;
NATURE OF ISSUING LENDER’S DUTIES.

 

(i)            In
addition to its other obligations under this Section 2.2, the Borrower
hereby agrees to pay, and protect, indemnify and save each Lender harmless from
and against, any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, actual losses,
costs, charges and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
that such Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or
indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or (B) the
failure of such Lender to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result
of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future
de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority (all such acts or
omissions, herein called “GOVERNMENT ACTS”).

 

(ii)           As
between the Borrower and the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender), the
Borrower shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter
of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. No Lender (including the Issuing Lender)
shall be responsible: (A) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy,
genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in
connection with the application 

 

44

 

for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact
prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate,
fraudulent or forged; (B) for the validity or sufficiency of any
instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any
Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in
whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) for
errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any
messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be
in cipher; (D) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of
any document required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit or of
the proceeds thereof; and (E) for any consequences arising from causes
beyond the control of such Lender, including, without limitation, any
Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting
of the Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder.

 

(iii)          In
furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions
hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any Lender (including the
Issuing Lender), under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the
related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross
negligence, shall not put such Lender under any resulting liability to the
Borrower or any other Credit Party. It is the intention of the parties that
this Credit Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect and indemnify
each Lender (including the Issuing Lender) against any and all risks involved
in the issuance of the Letters of Credit, all of which risks are hereby assumed
by the Borrower (on behalf of itself and each of the other Credit Parties),
including, without limitation, any and all Government Acts. No Lender
(including the Issuing Lender) shall, in any way, be liable for any failure by
such Lender or anyone else to pay any drawing under any Letter of Credit as a
result of any Government Acts or any other cause beyond the control of such
Lender.

 

(iv)          Nothing
in this subsection (i) is intended to limit the reimbursement obligations
of the Borrower contained in subsection (d) above. The obligations of the
Borrower under this subsection (i) shall survive the termination of this
Credit Agreement. No act or omission of any current or prior beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the Lenders
(including the Issuing Lender) to enforce any right, power or benefit under
this Credit Agreement.

 

(v)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.2(i), no Credit Party
shall have any obligation to indemnify or reimburse any Lender (including the
Issuing Lender) in respect of any liability incurred by such Lender (A) arising
out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Lender, or
(B) caused by such Lender’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit
after presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and
conditions of such Letter of Credit unless such payment is prohibited by any
law, regulation, court order or decree.

 

(j)    RESPONSIBILITY
OF ISSUING LENDER. It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations
of the Issuing Lender hereunder to the Lenders are only those expressly set
forth in this Credit Agreement and that the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to
assume that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2 have been
satisfied unless it shall have acquired actual knowledge that any such
condition precedent has not been satisfied; 

 

45

 

provided, however, that nothing set forth in
this Section 2.2 shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to
recover from the Issuing Lender any amounts made available by such Lender to
the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.2 in the event that it is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment with respect
to a Letter of Credit constituted gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender.

 

(k)   CONFLICT WITH LOC
DOCUMENTS. In the event of any conflict between this Credit Agreement and any
LOC Document (including any letter of credit application), this Credit
Agreement shall control.

 

2.3.   
SWINGLINE LOAN SUBFACILITY

 

(a)           SWINGLINE COMMITMENT. Subject to the
terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and
warranties set forth herein, the Swingline Lender, in its individual capacity,
agrees to make certain revolving credit loans requested by the Borrower in
Dollars to the Borrower (each a “SWINGLINE LOAN” and, collectively, the “SWINGLINE
LOANS”) from time to time from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date for the
purposes hereinafter set forth; provided, however, (i) the
aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not
exceed TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS ($20,000,000) (the “SWINGLINE COMMITTED AMOUNT”),
and (ii) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
Revolving Loans plus LOC Obligations plus Swingline Loans shall
not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount. Swingline Loans hereunder shall be
made as Base Rate Loans or Quoted Rate Swingline Loans as the Borrower may
request in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3 and may be
repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

(b)           SWINGLINE LOAN ADVANCES.

 

(i)            NOTICES;
DISBURSEMENT. Whenever the Borrower desires a Swingline Loan advance hereunder
it shall give written notice from an Executive Officer of the Borrower (or
telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Swingline Lender not
later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day of the
requested Swingline Loan advance. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and
shall specify (A) that a Swingline Loan advance is requested, (B) the
date of the requested Swingline Loan advance (which shall be a Business Day)
and (C) the principal amount of the Swingline Loan advance requested. Each
Swingline Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan or a Quoted Rate Swingline
Loan and shall have such maturity date as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower
shall agree upon receipt by the Swingline Lender of any such notice from the
Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall initiate the transfer of funds representing
the Swingline Loan advance to the Borrower by 3:00 P.M. (New York City
time) on the Business Day of the requested borrowing.

 

(ii)           MINIMUM
AMOUNTS. Each Swingline Loan advance shall be in integral multiples of $100,000
(or the remaining amount of the Swingline Committed Amount, if less).

 

46

 

(iii)          REPAYMENT
OF SWINGLINE LOANS. The Borrower hereby promises to pay the outstanding
principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of (A) the Maturity
Date or (B) the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the
15th or the last day of a calendar month and is at
least three Business days after such Swingline Loan is made.  The Swingline Lender may, at any time, in its
sole discretion, by written notice to the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders,
demand repayment of its Swingline Loans by way of a Revolving Loan advance, in
which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan
advance comprised solely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such Swingline
Loans; provided, however, that any such demand shall be deemed to
have been given one Business Day prior to the Maturity Date and on the date of
the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 9.1 and upon
acceleration of the indebtedness hereunder and the exercise of remedies in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9.2. Each Revolving Lender
hereby irrevocably agrees to make its pro rata share of each such Revolving
Loan in the amount, in the manner and on the date specified in the preceding
sentence notwithstanding (I) the amount of such borrowing may not comply
with the minimum amount for advances of Revolving Loans otherwise required
hereunder, (II) whether any conditions specified in Section 5.2 are
then satisfied, (III) whether a Default or an Event of Default then
exists, (IV) failure of any such request or deemed request for a Revolving
Loan to be made by the time otherwise required hereunder, (V) whether the
date of such borrowing is a date on which Revolving Loans are otherwise
permitted to be made hereunder or (VI) any termination of the Commitments
relating thereto prior to or contemporaneously with such borrowing.  In the event that any Revolving Loan cannot
for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without
limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the
Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower or any other Credit Party), then
each Revolving Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the
date such borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any
payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such
purchase) from the Swingline Lender such Participation Interests in the
outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Revolving
Lender to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon its Revolving
Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount (determined before
giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 3.4),
provided that (A) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall
be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the
respective Participation Interest is purchased and (B) at the time any
purchase of Participation Interests pursuant to this sentence is actually made,
the purchasing Revolving Lender shall be required to pay to the Swingline
Lender, to the extent not paid to the Swingline Lender by the Borrower in
accordance with the terms of subsection (c)(ii) below, interest on the
principal amount of Participation Interests purchased for each day from and
including the day upon which such borrowing would otherwise have occurred to
but excluding the date of payment for such Participation Interests, at the rate
equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of the date upon which such
borrowing would otherwise have occurred, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter
at a rate equal to the Adjusted Base Rate.

 

47

 

(c)           INTEREST ON SWINGLINE LOANS.

 

(i)            RATE
OF INTEREST. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1, each Swingline Loan
shall bear interest as follows:

 

(A)                              BASE RATE LOANS.
If such Swingline Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the
Adjusted Base Rate.

 

(B)                                QUOTED RATE
SWINGLINE LOANS. If such Swingline Loan is a Quoted Rate Swingline Loan, at a
per annum rate equal to the Quoted Rate applicable thereto.

 

(ii)           PAYMENT
OF INTEREST. The Borrower hereby promises to pay interest on Swingline Loans in
arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date (or at such other times as may
be specified herein).

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision to the contrary set forth in this Credit Agreement, in the
event that the principal amount of any Quoted Rate Swingline Loan is not repaid
on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, then such Loan shall be
automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan at the end of such Interest
Period.

 

(d)           SWINGLINE NOTE. The Borrower hereby
agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by the Swingline
Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to the Swingline Lender a
promissory note evidencing the Swingline Loans of the Swingline Lender,
substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3(d), with appropriate insertions
as to date and principal amount (a “SWINGLINE NOTE”).

 

2.4.   
[INTENTIONALLY DELETED]

 

2.5.   
TRANCHE B TERM LOAN.

 

(a)           TRANCHE B TERM COMMITMENT.  (i)  Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof (including paragraph (ii) below) and in reliance upon the
representations and warranties set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees
to make available to the Borrower on the Closing Date such Lender’s Tranche B
Term Loan Percentage of a term loan in Dollars (the “TRANCHE B TERM LOAN”) in
the aggregate principal amount of FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS
($450,000,000) (the “TRANCHE B TERM LOAN COMMITTED AMOUNT”).  The full principal amount of the Tranche B
Term Loan shall be disbursed on the Closing Date as a Base Rate Loan.
Thereafter, the Term Loan may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans,
or a combination thereof, as the Borrower may request; provided, however,
that no more than 15 Eurodollar Loans shall be outstanding hereunder at any
time (it being understood that, for purposes hereof, Eurodollar Loans with
different Interest Periods shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans,
even if they begin on the same date, although borrowings, extensions and
conversions may, in accordance with the provisions hereof, be combined at the
end of existing Interest Periods to constitute a new Eurodollar Loan with a
single Interest Period). Amounts repaid or prepaid on the Tranche B Term Loan
may not be reborrowed.

 

48

 

(ii)           Any
Continuing Tranche B Term Lender shall be deemed to continue such Lender’s
Continuing Tranche B Term Loans to the extent requested by the Borrower in
accordance with Section 2.5(b).  On
the Closing Date, such Lender’s Continuing Tranche B Term Loans shall, to the
extent requested by the Borrower, be continued for all purposes of this Credit
Agreement as Tranche B Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall record in
the Register the aggregate amounts of Continuing Tranche B Term Loans continued
as Tranche B Term Loans.  From and after
the Closing Date, Continuing Tranche B Term Loans shall constitute Tranche B
Term Loans for all purposes of this Credit Agreement.

 

(b)           BORROWING PROCEDURES. The Borrower
shall submit an appropriate Notice of Borrowing for the Tranche B Term Loan to the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the
Closing Date. Such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) that
the funding of the Tranche B Term Loan is requested and (ii) that the
funding of the Tranche B Term Loan shall be comprised of Base Rate Loans. Each
Lender shall make its Tranche B Term Loan Percentage of the Tranche B Term Loan
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the
office of the Administrative Agent specified in Schedule 2.1(a), or at
such other office as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing, by 1:00 P.M.
(New York City time) on the Closing Date in Dollars and in funds immediately
available to the Administrative Agent. 
Each Continuing Tranche B Term Lender’s Continuing Tranche B Term Loans
shall be continued as Tranche B Term Loans hereunder to the extent requested by
the Borrower.

 

(c)           MINIMUM AMOUNTS. Each Eurodollar Loan
or Base Rate Loan that is part of the Tranche B Term Loan shall be in an
aggregate principal amount that is not less than $2,000,000 and integral
multiples of $100,000 (or the then remaining principal balance of the Tranche B
Term Loan).

 

(d)           REPAYMENT OF TRANCHE B TERM LOAN. The
Borrower hereby promises to pay the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche
B Term Loan in twenty-four (24) consecutive quarterly installments as follows
(as such installments may hereafter be adjusted as a result of prepayments made
pursuant to Section 3.3), unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9.2:

(e)           INTEREST. Subject to the provisions
of Section 3.1, the outstanding Tranche B Term Loan shall bear interest at
a per annum rate equal to:

 

(i)            BASE
RATE LOANS. During such periods as the Tranche B Term Loan shall be comprised
in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans, such Base Rate Loans shall bear
interest at a per annum rate equal to the Adjusted Base Rate.

 

(ii)           EURODOLLAR
LOANS. During such periods as the Tranche B Term Loan shall be comprised in
whole or in part of Eurodollar Loans, such Eurodollar Loans shall bear interest
at a per annum rate equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate.

 

The Borrower hereby promises to pay interest
on the Tranche B Term Loan in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date
(or at such other times as may be specified herein).

 

(f)            TRANCHE B TERM NOTES. The Borrower
hereby agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender,
the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note
evidencing the Tranche B Term Loan of such Lender, substantially in the form of
Exhibit 2.5(f), with appropriate insertions as to date and
principal amount (a “TRANCHE B TERM NOTE”).

 

2.6.    INCREMENTAL TERM LOANS;
REVOLVING COMMITMENT INCREASE.

 

(a)           The Borrower may at any time or from
time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent
(whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of
the Lenders) request (i) additional Tranche B Term Loans or one or more
additional tranches of term loans (the “INCREMENTAL TERM LOANS”) or (ii) one
or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Committed Amount (each such
increase, a “REVOLVING COMMITMENT INCREASE”), provided
that, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and be continuing at
the time that any such Incremental Term Loan is made or any such Revolving
Commitment Increase becomes effective (and after giving effect thereto), and (ii) the
Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of the Borrower determined on a
Pro Forma Basis as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of
the Borrower as if such Incremental Term Loans had been outstanding on the last
day of such fiscal quarter shall be

 

50

 

equal to or less than the then applicable Consolidated
Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio.  Each
tranche of Incremental Term Loans and each Revolving Commitment Increase shall
be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $25,000,000 if
such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in
the next sentence).  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the Incremental Term
Loans and the Revolving Commitment Increases shall not exceed
$125,000,000.  The Incremental Term Loans
and the Revolving Commitment Increases (a) shall rank pari passu
in right of payment and of collateral security with the Tranche B Term Loan and
the Revolving Loans and (b) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date
with respect to the Tranche B Term Loan (but may have nominal amortization
prior to such date) and shall have an average life to maturity no shorter than
the remaining average life to maturity of the Tranche B Term Loan and the
Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Loans (in the case of Revolving
Commitment Increases) and (c) except as set forth above, shall be treated
substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Term Loans
and the Revolving Loans(in each case, including with respect to mandatory and
voluntary prepayments), provided that (i) the terms and conditions applicable
to Incremental Term Loans maturing after the Maturity Date with respect to the
Tranche B Term Loans may provide for material additional or different financial
or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during periods
after the Maturity Date with respect to the Tranche B Term Loans and (ii) the
Incremental Term Loans may be priced differently than the Term Loans.  Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to
this Section 2.6 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the
relevant Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitment Increases.  Incremental Term Loans may be made, and
Revolving Commitment Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender or by
any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other
financial institution being called an “ADDITIONAL LENDER”), provided that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or
Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such
Revolving Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under Section
11.3(b) for an assignment of Tranche B Term Loans or Revolving Commitments to
such Lender or Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term
Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in the
case of a Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving
Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment) under
this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “INCREMENTAL AMENDMENT”) to this
Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by the
Parent, the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any,
each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent.  The Incremental Amendment may, without the
consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable
opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section
2.6.  The effectiveness of any Incremental
Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an
“INCREMENTAL FACILITY CLOSING DATE”) of such conditions as the parties thereto
shall agree.  The Borrower may use the
proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases for
any purpose not prohibited by this Credit Agreement.  No Lender shall be obligated to provide any
Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitment Increases unless it so
agrees.  Upon each increase in the
Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.6, (a) each Revolving Lender
immediately prior to such increase will automatically and

 

51

 

without further act be deemed to have assigned to each
Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Commitment Increase (each a
“REVOLVING COMMITMENT INCREASE LENDER”) in respect of such increase, and each
such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without
further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of such Revolving Lender’s
participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans
such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of
participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding
(i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations
hereunder in Swing Line Loans held by each Revolving Lender (including each
such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the
aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders represented by such
Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (b) if, on the date of such
increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall
on or prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase be
prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder
(reflecting such increase in Revolving Commitments), which prepayment shall be
accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any
costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 3.12.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders
hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing
and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in
this Credit Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to
this Section.  Each of the parties hereto
hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, this
Credit Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent)
necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loans
and/or Revolving Commitment Increase evidenced thereby as provided for in
Section 11.6.  Any such deemed
amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the
Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other
parties hereto.

 

(b)           This Section 2.6 shall supersede
any provisions in Section 2.5 or 11.6 to the contrary.

 

2.7.   
REDESIGNATION OF EXISTING LOANS AND COMMITMENTS.  As of the Closing Date, the Existing Loans
and Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement)
immediately prior to the Closing Date shall automatically, without any action
on the part of any Person, be redesignated for all purposes of this Credit
Agreement and the other Credit Documents as follows: (a) $125,000,000 of
Revolving Commitments; and (b) $450,000,000 principal amount of Tranche B
Term Loans, and for the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge that
the Loans outstanding hereunder on the Closing Date were not made in repayment
of all or any portion of any Existing Loan. 
The Administrative Agent shall modify the Register accordingly to
provide for such redesignation of the Existing Loans and Revolving Commitments
(as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) among the Lenders according to
their respective proportionate shares thereof, as applicable.  Each Exiting Lender shall be deemed, by its
acceptance of any such payment, to have assigned and sold its Commitments and
Loans under the Existing Credit Agreement to the Lenders in exchange for
payment on the Closing Date of obligations owed to it under the Existing Credit
Agreement.

SECTION III

 

OTHER
PROVISIONS RELATING TO CREDIT FACILITIES

 

3.1.   
DEFAULT RATE.

 

Upon the
occurrence, and during the continuance, of a default in the payment of any
amount hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, such overdue
amount shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a per annum rate 2% greater
than the rate which would otherwise be applicable (or if no rate is applicable,
whether in respect of interest, fees or other amounts, then the Adjusted Base
Rate plus 2%).

 

3.2.   
EXTENSION AND CONVERSION.

 

The Borrower shall
have the option, on any Business Day, to extend existing Loans into a
subsequent permissible Interest Period or to convert Loans into Loans of
another interest rate type; provided, however, that (i) except
as provided in Section 3.8, Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base
Rate Loans or extended as Eurodollar Loans for new Interest Periods only on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless the Borrower makes
payment of any amounts then due and owing pursuant to Section 3.12, (ii) Loans
extended as, or converted into, Eurodollar Loans shall be subject to the terms
of the definition of “INTEREST PERIOD” set forth in Section 1.1 and shall
be in such minimum amounts as provided in, with respect to Revolving Loans, Section 2.1(b)(ii),
or, with respect to the Tranche B Term Loan, Section 2.5(c), (iii) no
more than 15 Eurodollar Loans shall be outstanding hereunder at any time (it
being understood that, for purposes hereof, Eurodollar Loans with different
Interest Periods shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans, even if they
begin on the same date, although borrowings, extensions and conversions may, in
accordance with the provisions hereof, be combined at the end of existing
Interest Periods to constitute a new Eurodollar Loan with a single Interest
Period), (iv) any request for extension or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan
which shall fail to specify an Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request
for an Interest Period of one month and (v) Swingline Loans may not be
extended or converted pursuant to this Section 3.2. Each such extension or
conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving a Notice of
Extension/Conversion (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to
the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Schedule 2.1(a), or
at such other office as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing,
prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day of, in the
case of the conversion of a Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, and on the
third Business Day prior to, in the case of the extension of a Eurodollar Loan
as, or conversion of a Base Rate Loan into, a Eurodollar Loan, the date of the
proposed extension or conversion, specifying the date of the proposed extension
or conversion, the Loans to be so extended or converted, the types of Loans
into which such Loans are to be converted and, if appropriate, the applicable
Interest Periods with respect thereto. In the event the Borrower fails to
request extension or conversion of any Eurodollar Loan in accordance with this Section 3.2,
or any such conversion or extension is not permitted or required by this Section 3.2,
then such Eurodollar Loan shall be automatically converted into a Base Rate
Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Administrative
Agent shall give each Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such
proposed extension or conversion affecting any Loan.

 

53

 

3.3.    PREPAYMENTS

 

(a)           VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS

 

The
Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans in whole or in part from time to
time upon providing at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the
Administrative Agent (which notice may be waived by the Administrative Agent)
other than in connection with Revolving Loans; provided, however,
that each partial prepayment of Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be in
a minimum principal amount of $2,000,000 (or $500,000 in the case of Revolving
Loans) and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or the then
remaining principal balance of the Revolving Loans or the Tranche B Term Loan,
as applicable, if less).  Subject to the
foregoing terms, amounts prepaid under this Section 3.3(a) shall be
applied as the Borrower may elect; provided that if the Borrower shall
fail to specify with respect to any voluntary prepayment, such voluntary
prepayment shall be applied first to Swingline Loans, then Revolving Loans and
then to the Tranche B Term Loan (and applied to the remaining Principal
Amortization Payments ratably), in each case first to Base Rate Loans and then
to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All
prepayments under this Section 3.3(a) shall be subject to Section 3.12,
but otherwise without premium or penalty, and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans,
shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid through the
date of prepayment.

 

(b)           MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS

 

(i)            (A) 
REVOLVING COMMITTED AMOUNT. If at any time, the sum of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans plus LOC Obligations plus
Swingline Loans shall exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, the Borrower
immediately shall prepay the Revolving Loans and (after all Revolving Loans
have been repaid) cash collateralize the LOC Obligations, in an amount
sufficient to eliminate such excess.

 

(B)  LOC COMMITTED AMOUNT. If at any time, the sum of the aggregate
principal amount of LOC Obligations shall exceed the LOC Committed Amount, the
Borrower immediately shall cash collateralize the LOC Obligations in an amount
sufficient to eliminate such excess.

 

(ii)           EXCESS
CASH FLOW. Within 105 days after the end of each fiscal year (commencing with
the fiscal year ending on or about June 30, 2008), the Borrower shall
prepay the Loans in an amount equal to (A) 50% (if the Consolidated Net
Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year is equal to or greater than
4.00 to 1.00), 25% (if the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of
such fiscal year is less than 4.00 to 1.00 but equal to or greater than 3.50 to
1.00) or 0% (if the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of such
fiscal year is less than 3.50 to 1.00) 
of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year minus (B) the
amount of any voluntary prepayments made during such fiscal year of the Tranche
B Term Loan or (to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction in the
Revolving Committed Amount) the Revolving Loans (such prepayment to be applied
as set forth in clause (vi) below).

 

54

 

(iii)          ASSET
DISPOSITIONS.  Immediately upon the
occurrence of any Asset Disposition Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall prepay
the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such
Asset Disposition not applied (or caused to be applied) by the Credit Parties
during the related Application Period to make Eligible Reinvestments (in each
case, such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below).

 

(A)          INVOLUNTARY
DISPOSITIONS.  Immediately upon the
occurrence of an Involuntary Disposition Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall
prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Excess Proceeds
(such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below).

 

(iv)          DEBT
ISSUANCES. Immediately upon the occurrence of a Debt Issuance Prepayment Event,
the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the
Net Cash Proceeds of the related Debt Issuance (such prepayment to be applied
as set forth in clause (vi) below).

 

(v)           [INTENTIONALLY
OMITTED].

 

(vi)          APPLICATION
OF MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS.  All amounts
required to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) shall be applied
as follows: (A) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(i)(A),
to Revolving Loans and (after all Revolving Loans have been repaid) to a cash
collateral account in respect of LOC Obligations, (B) with respect to all
amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(i)(B), to a cash collateral
account in respect of LOC Obligations, (C) with respect to all amounts
prepaid pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(ii), as the Borrower may elect, and (D) with
respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Sections 3.3(b)(iii) and
3.3(b)(iv), FIRST, to the Tranche B Term Loans (with such prepayment being
applied ratably to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments thereof) and
SECOND, to the Revolving Loans and (after all Revolving Loans have been repaid)
to a cash collateral account in respect of LOC Obligations (without any
reduction in the Revolving Committed Amount). 
Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments
shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans in
direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section 3.3(b) shall
be subject to Section 3.12, but otherwise without premium or penalty, and
shall, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, be accompanied by interest on the
principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.

 

(vii)         PREPAYMENT
ACCOUNT.  If the Borrower is required to
make a mandatory prepayment of Eurodollar Loans under this Section 3.3(b),
the Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making such prepayment in full, to
deposit an amount equal to such mandatory prepayment with the Administrative
Agent in a cash collateral account maintained (pursuant to documentation
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) by and in the sole
dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. Any amounts so deposited
shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the prepayment of
such Eurodollar Loans and shall be applied to the prepayment of the applicable
Eurodollar Loans at the end of the current Interest Periods applicable thereto

 

55

 

or, subject to the terms of Section 3.12, as earlier requested in
writing by the Borrower. At the request of the Borrower, amounts so deposited
shall be invested by the Administrative Agent in Cash Equivalents maturing
prior to the date or dates on which it is anticipated that such amounts will be
applied to prepay such Eurodollar Loans; any interest earned on such Cash
Equivalents will be for the account of the Borrower and the Borrower will
deposit with the Administrative Agent the amount of any loss on any such Cash
Equivalents to the extent necessary in order that the amount of the prepayment
to be made with the deposited amounts may not be reduced.

 

(viii)        NOTICE
OF MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. The Borrower agrees to use reasonable efforts to
notify the Administrative Agent of any mandatory prepayments of the Loans
required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.3(b).

 

3.4.    TERMINATION AND REDUCTION OF
REVOLVING COMMITTED AMOUNT.

 

(a)           VOLUNTARY REDUCTIONS. The Borrower
may from time to time permanently reduce or terminate the Revolving Committed
Amount in whole or in part (in minimum aggregate amounts of $2,500,000 or in
integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the full
remaining amount of the then applicable Revolving Committed Amount)) upon five
Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided,
however, no such termination or reduction shall be made which would
cause the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans plus
LOC Obligations plus Swingline Loans to exceed the Revolving Committed
Amount, unless, concurrently with such termination or reduction, the Revolving
Loans are repaid to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of receipt by
the Administrative Agent of any notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.4(a).

 

(b)           TERM LOAN COMMITMENTS.  The Tranche B Term Loan Commitment of each
Lender, if any, shall automatically terminate at such time as such Lender shall
have made available to the Borrower such Lender’s share of the Tranche B Term
Loan.

 

(c)           MANDATORY REDUCTIONS. The Revolving
Committed Amount and the Swingline Committed Amount automatically shall be
permanently reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3(b)(vi).

 

(d)           MATURITY DATE. Unless terminated
sooner pursuant to Section 3.4(a) or Section 9.2, the Revolving
Commitments of the Lenders and the LOC Commitment of the Issuing Lender shall
automatically terminate on the Maturity Date.

 

(e)           GENERAL. The Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders (except to the extent
that any Lender was a Defaulting Lender during the applicable period in which
such fee accrued) in accordance with the terms of Section 3.5(a), on the
date of each termination or reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount, the
Unused Fee accrued through the date of such termination or reduction on the
amount of the Revolving Committed Amount so terminated or reduced.

 

56

 

3.5.   
FEES.

 

(a)           UNUSED FEE. In consideration of the
Revolving Commitments of the Lenders hereunder, the Borrower hereby promises to
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (except to the
extent that any Lender was a Defaulting Lender during the applicable period in
which such fee accrued) a fee (the “UNUSED FEE”) on the Unused Revolving
Committed Amount computed at a per annum rate for each day during the
applicable Unused Fee Calculation Period (hereinafter defined) at a rate equal
to the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time. The Unused Fee shall
commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall be due and payable in arrears
on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (and
on any date that the Revolving Committed Amount is reduced pursuant to Section 3.4(a) and
on the Maturity Date) for the immediately preceding quarter (or portion
thereof) (each such quarter or portion thereof for which the Unused Fee is
payable hereunder being herein referred to as an “UNUSED FEE CALCULATION
PERIOD”), beginning with the first of such dates to occur after the Closing
Date.

 

(b)           LETTER OF CREDIT FEES

 

(i)            STANDBY
LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUANCE FEE.  In
consideration of the issuance of standby Letters of Credit hereunder, the
Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Lender (except to the extent that any Lender was a Defaulting Lender
during the applicable period in which such fee accrued) a fee (the “STANDBY
LETTER OF CREDIT FEE”) on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the
average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each such standby Letter
of Credit computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance
to the date of expiration equal to the Applicable Percentage. The Standby
Letter of Credit Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business
Day of each March, June, September and December for the immediately
preceding quarter (or a portion thereof) and on the Maturity Date for the
Revolving Commitments.

 

(ii)           TRADE
LETTER OF CREDIT DRAWING FEE. In consideration of the issuance of trade Letters
of Credit hereunder, the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender (except to the extent that any Lender was
a Defaulting Lender during the applicable period in which such fee accrued) a
fee (the “TRADE LETTER OF CREDIT FEE”) on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment
Percentage of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each
such trade Letter of Credit computed at a per annum rate for each day from the
date of issuance to the date of expiration equal to 1.25%.  The Trade Letter of Credit Fee will be
payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December for the immediately preceding quarter (or a portion thereof) and
on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Commitments.

 

(iii)          ISSUING
LENDER FEES. In addition to the Standby Letter of Credit Fee payable pursuant
to clause (i) above and the Trade Letter of Credit Fee payable pursuant to
clause (ii) above, the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the

the other Lenders (i) a letter of credit fronting fee of 0.125% on the
average daily maximum

 

57

 

amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit computed at a
per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration
(which fronting fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business
Day of each March, June, September and December for the immediately
preceding quarter (or a portion thereof)) and on the Maturity Date for the
Revolving Commitments and (ii) the customary charges from time to time of
the Issuing Lender with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer,
administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, such
Letters of Credit.

 

(c)           ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S FEES. The
Borrower hereby (i) absolutely accepts and assumes all of the duties,
obligations and liabilities of the Sponsor in, to and under the Administrative
Agent’s Fee Letter to the same extent as if the Borrower had executed the
Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter and (ii) promises to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for its own account and for the account of JPMorgan
Securities Inc., as applicable, the fees referred to in the Administrative
Agent’s Fee Letter.

 

3.6.   
CAPITAL ADEQUACY.

 

(a)           If any Lender has determined, after
the date hereof, that the adoption or the becoming effective of, or any change
in, or any change by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof in the
interpretation or administration of, any applicable law, rule or
regulation regarding capital adequacy, or compliance by such Lender with any
request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the
force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital
or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a
level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption,
effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender
to be material, then, upon notice from such Lender through the Administrative
Agent to the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the
calculation of such reduced rate of return to the Borrower, the Borrower shall
be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender for such reduction to the extent that such Lender
reasonably determines that such additional amount is allocable to the existence
of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder. Each determination by
any such Lender of amounts owing under this Section shall, absent
demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.

 

(b)           The Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.6 for any additional amounts
incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the
Borrower of the change of law giving rise to such additional amounts and of
such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that,
if the change of law giving rise to such additional amounts is retroactive,
then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof.

 

3.7.   
LIMITATION ON EURODOLLAR LOANS.  If on or
prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan:

 

58

 

(a)           the Administrative Agent determines
(which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances
affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or

 

(b)           the Required Lenders determine (which
determination shall be conclusive) and notify the Administrative Agent that the
Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders
of funding Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period;

 

then the Administrative Agent shall give the
Borrower prompt notice thereof, and so long as such condition remains in
effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar
Loans, Continue Eurodollar Loans, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar
Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current
Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurodollar Loans, either prepay
such Eurodollar Loans or Convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans in
accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent or
the Required Lenders, as the case may be, will withdraw such determination
pursuant to this Section promptly as circumstances allow.

 

3.8.   
ILLEGALITY.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Credit Agreement, in the event that it becomes
unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain, or
fund Eurodollar Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the
Borrower thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue Eurodollar
Loans and to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended
until such time as such Lender may again make, maintain, and fund Eurodollar
Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 3.10 shall be applicable).
Each Lender will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such
designation will permit such Lender to continue to make, maintain, or fund
Eurodollar Loans hereunder and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be
otherwise materially disadvantageous to it.

 

3.9.   
REQUIREMENTS OF LAW.

 

(a)           If, after the date hereof, the
adoption of any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or any change in any
applicable law, rule, or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank, or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental
Authority, central bank, or comparable agency:

 

(i)            shall
subject such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any tax, duty, or
other charge with respect to any Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make
Eurodollar Loans, or change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to
such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Credit Agreement in
respect of any Eurodollar Loans (other than Taxes and taxes imposed on the
overall net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has
its principal office or such Applicable Lending Office);

 

59

 

(ii)           shall
impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, or
similar requirement (other than the Eurodollar Reserve Requirement utilized in
the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate) relating to any extensions
of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or
commitments of, such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office), including the
Commitment of such Lender hereunder; or

 

(iii)          shall
impose on such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or the London
interbank market any other condition affecting this Credit Agreement or any of
such extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to
increase, by an amount deemed by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office)
to be material, the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of
making, Converting into, Continuing, or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans or to
reduce any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending
Office) under this Credit Agreement with respect to any Eurodollar Loans, then
the Borrower shall pay to such Lender on demand such amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. If any Lender
requests compensation by the Borrower under this Section 3.9, the Borrower
may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans, or
to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, until the event or condition
giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the
provisions of Section 3.10 shall be applicable); provided that such
suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the
compensation so requested. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring
after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant
to this Section 3.9 and will designate a different Applicable Lending
Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of,
such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
materially disadvantageous to it. Any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 3.9
shall furnish to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a statement setting
forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it
hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In
determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods.

 

(b)   The Borrower
shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.9
for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the
date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the change of law giving rise to
such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided that, if the change of law giving rise
to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then such 180-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof.

 

3.10.   
TREATMENT OF AFFECTED LOANS.

 

If the obligation
of any Lender to make any Eurodollar Loan or to Continue, or to Convert Base
Rate Loans into, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.7,
3.8 or 3.9 hereof, such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically
Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current
Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Loans (or, in

 

60

 

the
case of a Conversion required by Section 3.8, on such earlier date as
required by law as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as
provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9
hereof that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

 

(a)           to the extent that such Lender’s
Eurodollar Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of
principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans
shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

 

(b)           all Loans that would otherwise be
made or Continued by such Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be made or Continued
instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would
otherwise be Converted into Eurodollar Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

 

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.7,
3.8 or 3.9 hereof that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar
Loans pursuant to this Section 3.10 no longer exist (which such Lender
agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when
Eurodollar Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate
Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next
succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Loans, to
the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by
the Lenders holding Eurodollar Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as
to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance
with their respective Commitments.

 

3.11.    TAXES.

 

(a)           Except as otherwise provided herein,
any and all payments by any Credit Party to or for the account of any Lender or
the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be
made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future
taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, EXCLUDING, in the case of each Lender and the
Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on it as a result of a present or former
connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction
of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising
solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered
or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced this
Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document) (all such non-excluded taxes,
duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities
being hereinafter referred to as “TAXES”). If any Credit Party shall be
required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under
this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document to any Lender or the
Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary
so that after making all required deductions of Taxes (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.11) such Lender
or the Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Credit Party shall
make such deductions, (iii) such Credit Party shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance
with applicable law, and (iv) such

 

61

 

Credit Party
shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.1,
the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no additional sums shall be payable pursuant to
this Section 3.11(a) with respect to Taxes (A) that are
attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with Section 3.11(d), or (B) that
are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender
at the time the Lender becomes a party to this Credit Agreement or (C) unless
imposed as a result of a change in treaty, law or regulation.

 

(b)           In addition, the Borrower agrees to
pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other
excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any
payment made under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or from
the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as “OTHER
TAXES”).

 

(c)           The Borrower agrees to indemnify each
Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other
Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.11)
paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any
liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or
with respect thereto.

 

(d)           Each Lender that is not a United
States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, on or prior to the
date of its execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement in the case of each
Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on
which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to
time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall
provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with (i) Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI, as appropriate, or any successor
form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is
entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a
party which reduces to zero the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest
or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Credit Agreement is
effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United
States and/or (ii) any other form or certificate required by any taxing
authority (including any certificate required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of
the Code), certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from tax on
payments pursuant to this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit
Documents. In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the
obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender.
Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that
it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form to the
Borrower (or any other form adopted by the United States taxing authorities for
such purposes). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender
shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such
Lender is not legally able to deliver.

 

(e)           For any period with respect to which
a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with
the appropriate form pursuant to Section 3.11(d) (unless such failure
is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the
date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall
not be entitled to indemnification under Section 3.11(a) or 3.11(b) with
respect to Taxes imposed by the United

 

62

 

States; provided,
however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from
withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a
form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender
shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

 

(f)            If any Credit Party is required to
pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.11,
then such Lender will agree to use reasonable efforts to change the
jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any
such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the
judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise materially disadvantageous to such
Lender.

 

(g)           Without prejudice to the survival of
any other agreement of the Credit Parties hereunder, the agreements and
obligations of the Credit Parties contained in this Section 3.11 shall
survive the repayment of the Loans, LOC Obligations and other obligations under
the Credit Documents and the termination of the Commitments hereunder.

 

(h)           If the Administrative Agent or any
Lender receives a refund with respect to Taxes paid by the Borrower, which in
the good faith judgment of such Lender is allocable to such payment, the
Administrative Agent or Lender, respectively shall promptly pay such refund,
together with any other amounts paid by the Borrower in connection with such
refunded Taxes, to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such
Lender incurred in obtaining such refund, provided, however, that
the Borrower agrees to promptly return such refund to the Administrative Agent
or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, if it receives notice from the
Administrative Agent or applicable Lender that such Administrative Agent or
Lender is required to repay such refund. 
This section shall not be construed to require any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Credit Party
or any other Person.

 

3.12.    COMPENSATION.  Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower
shall pay to such Lender such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the
reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or
expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) incurred by it as a result of:

 

(a)           any payment, prepayment, or
Conversion of a Eurodollar Loan or Quoted Rate Swingline Loan for any reason
(other than in connection with any assignment by any Lender pursuant to Section 11.3(b),
but including acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.2) on a date
other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

 

(b)           any failure by the Borrower for any
reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any condition precedent
specified in Section 5 to be satisfied) to borrow, Convert, Continue, or
prepay a Eurodollar Loan or Quoted Rate Swingline Loan on the date for such
borrowing, Conversion, Continuation, or prepayment specified in the relevant
notice of borrowing, prepayment, Continuation, or Conversion under this Credit
Agreement.

 

With respect to Eurodollar Loans, such
indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the
amount of interest (other than the Applicable Percentage) which would have
accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, Converted or Continued,
for the

 

63

 

period from the date of such prepayment or of
such failure to borrow, Convert or Continue to the last day of the applicable
Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, Convert or Continue,
the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in
each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurodollar Loans provided
for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Percentage included therein, if
any) over (b) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such
Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such
amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank
Eurodollar market. Any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 3.12
shall furnish to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a statement setting
forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts to be paid to it
hereunder. The covenants of the Borrower set forth in this Section 3.12
shall survive the repayment of the Loans, LOC Obligations and other obligations
under the Credit Documents and the termination of the Commitments hereunder; provided,
however, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender
pursuant to this Section 3.12 for any such loss, cost or expense incurred
more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of
the incurrence of such loss, cost or expense.

 

3.13.    PRO RATA TREATMENT.

 

Except to the
extent otherwise provided herein:

 

(a)           LOANS. Each Loan, each payment or
(subject to the terms of Section 3.3) prepayment of principal of any Loan
or reimbursement obligations arising from drawings under Letters of Credit,
each payment of interest on the Loans or reimbursement obligations arising from
drawings under Letters of Credit, each payment of Unused Fees, each payment of
the Standby Letter of Credit Fee, each payment of the Trade Letter of Credit
Fee, each reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount and each conversion or
extension of any Loan, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in
accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans of
the applicable type and Participation Interests in Loans of the applicable type
and Letters of Credit.

 

(b)           ADVANCES. No Lender shall be
responsible for the failure or delay by any other Lender in its obligation to
make its ratable share of a borrowing hereunder; provided, however,
that the failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder shall not
relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date
of any requested borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available
to the Administrative Agent its ratable share of such borrowing to be made on
such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
amount available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such borrowing, and
the Administrative Agent in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole
discretion but without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower
a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made
available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be able
to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not
pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand
therefor, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the
Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the
Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount
in respect of each day from the date such corresponding

 

64

 

amount was
made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such
corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per annum
rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for the
applicable borrowing pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing and (ii) from a
Lender at the Federal Funds Rate.

 

3.14.    SHARING OF PAYMENTS.

 

(a)           The Lenders agree among themselves
that, in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Loan,
LOC Obligations or any other obligation owing to such Lender under this Credit
Agreement through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien or
counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11
of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in
lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other
means, in excess of its pro rata share of such payment as provided for in this
Credit Agreement, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders a
Participation Interest in such Loans, LOC Obligations and other obligations in
such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be
equitable to the end that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with
their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Credit Agreement. The
Lenders further agree among themselves that if payment to a Lender obtained by
such Lender through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien,
counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or must otherwise
be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment
shall, by repurchase of a Participation Interest theretofore sold, return its
share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable
with respect thereto) to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or
otherwise restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a
Participation Interest may, to the fullest extent permitted by law and in a
manner not inconsistent with this Credit Agreement, exercise all rights of
payment, including setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such
Participation Interest as fully as if such Lender were a holder of such Loan,
LOC Obligations or other obligation in the amount of such Participation
Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, if
any Lender shall fail to remit to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender
an amount payable by such Lender to the Administrative Agent or such other
Lender pursuant to this Credit Agreement on the date when such amount is due,
such payments shall be made together with interest thereon for each date from
the date such amount is due until the date such amount is paid to the
Administrative Agent or such other Lender at a rate per annum equal to, for the
first two days, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter, the Adjusted Base Rate.
If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender
receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 3.14
applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in
respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the
Lenders under this Section 3.14 to share in the benefits of any recovery
on such secured claim.

 

3.15.   
PAYMENTS, COMPUTATIONS, ETC.

 

(a)           GENERALLY. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, all payments hereunder shall be made to the
Administrative Agent in Dollars in immediately available funds, without setoff,
deduction, counterclaim or withholding of any kind, at the Administrative Agent’s
office specified in Schedule 2.1(a) not later than 2:00 P.M.
(New York

 

65

 

City time) on
the date when due. Payments received after such time shall be deemed to have
been received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Borrower shall, at the
time it makes any payment under this Credit Agreement, specify to the
Administrative Agent the Loans, LOC Obligations, Fees, interest or other
amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be
applied (and in the event that it fails so to specify, or if such application
would be inconsistent with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall
distribute such payment to the Lenders in such manner as the Administrative
Agent may determine to be appropriate in respect of obligations owing by the
Borrower hereunder, subject to the terms of Sections 3.3 and 3.13(a)). The
Administrative Agent will distribute such payments to such Lenders, if any such
payment is received prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on a Business
Day in like funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day and
otherwise the Administrative Agent will distribute such payment to such Lenders
on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated
to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day (subject to accrual of interest
and Fees for the period of such extension), except that in the case of
Eurodollar Loans, if the extension would cause the payment to be made in the
next following calendar month, then such payment shall instead be made on the
next preceding Business Day. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, all
computations of interest and fees shall be made on the basis of actual number
of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, except with respect to computation of
interest on Base Rate Loans which shall be calculated based on a year of 365 or
366 days, as appropriate. Interest shall accrue from and include the date of
borrowing, but exclude the date of payment.

 

(b)           ALLOCATION OF PAYMENTS AFTER
ACCELERATION. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement to
the contrary, after acceleration of the Credit Party Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2(b),
all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on
account of the Credit Party Obligations or in respect of the Collateral shall
be applied as set forth in Section 6.5 of the Collateral Agreement.

 

3.16.    EVIDENCE OF DEBT.

 

(a)           Each Lender shall maintain an account
or accounts evidencing each Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower from time
to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to
such Lender from time to time under this Credit Agreement. Each Lender will
make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of its account or accounts and
to promptly update its account or accounts from time to time, as necessary.

 

(b)           The Administrative Agent shall
maintain the Register pursuant to Section 11.3(b), and a subaccount for
each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be
recorded (i) the amount, type and Interest Period of each such Loan
hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or
to become due and payable to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of
any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from or for the account
of any Credit Party and each Lender’s share thereof. The Administrative Agent
will make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of the subaccounts
referred to in the preceding sentence and to promptly update such subaccounts
from time to time, as necessary.

 

66

 

(c)           The entries made in the accounts,
Register and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 3.16
(and, if consistent with the entries of the Administrative Agent, clause (a))
shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations
of the Credit Parties therein recorded; provided, however, that
the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain any such
account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein,
shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Credit Parties to repay
the Credit Party Obligations owing to such Lender.

 

3.17.    REPLACEMENT OF AFFECTED
LENDERS.

 

If (i) any Lender having a Revolving Commitment
becomes a Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its Revolving Commitment, (ii) any
Credit Party is required to make any payments to any Lender under Section 3.6,
Section 3.8, Section 3.9 or Section 3.11 in excess of the
proportionate amount (based on the respective Commitments and/or Loans of the
Lenders) of corresponding payments required to be made to the other Lenders or (iii) in
the event of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver,
discharge or termination which requires the consent of all Lenders or all
affected Lenders and for which approval of such Lenders holding more than a majority
in interest has already been obtained, the Borrower shall have the right to
replace such Lender (the “REPLACED LENDER”) with one or more other Eligible
Assignee or Eligible Assignees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting
Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “REPLACEMENT LENDER”),
provided that (a) except in the case of clause (iii) above, no
Event of Default then exists, (b) at the time of any replacement pursuant
to this Section 3.17, the Replaced Lender and Replacement Lender shall
enter into an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which the Replacement
Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the Commitments
and outstanding Loans of, and participation in Letters of Credit by, the
Replaced Lender and (c) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the
Replaced Lender relating to the Loans so replaced (including, without
limitation, such increased costs and excluding those specifically described in
clause (b) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has
been, or is concurrently being paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced
Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the
appropriate Assignment and Acceptance, the payment of amounts referred to in
clauses (b) and (c) above and, if so requested by the Replacement
Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes
executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender
hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder
with respect to such replaced Loans, except with respect to indemnification
provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Replaced
Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, (1) the
Lender that acts as the Issuing Lender may not be replaced hereunder at any
time that it has Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements
satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (including the furnishing of a back-up
standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer,
satisfactory to such Issuing Lender or the depositing of cash collateral into a
cash collateral account maintained with the Administrative Agent in amounts and
pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to such Issuing Lender) have been made
with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit and (2) the Lender that
acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in
accordance with the terms of Section 10.7. The Replaced Lender shall be
required to deliver for cancellation its applicable Notes, if any, to be
canceled on the date of replacement, or if any such Note is lost or

 

67

 

unavailable, such other
assurances or indemnification therefor as the Borrower may reasonably request.

 

SECTION IV

 

GUARANTY

 

4.1.    THE GUARANTY.

 

Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally
guarantees to each Lender, each Affiliate of a Lender that enters into a
Hedging Agreement, and the Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided, as
primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Credit Party
Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory
prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or
otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby
further agree that if any of the Credit Party Obligations are not paid in full
when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by
acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the
Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any
demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of
payment or renewal of any of the Credit Party Obligations, the same will be
promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory
prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or
otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

 

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents or Hedging Agreements,
the maximum liability of each Guarantor under this Credit Agreement and the
other Credit Documents shall in no event exceed the maximum amount which can be
guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating
to the insolvency of debtors and fraudulent conveyance or transfers (after
giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 4.6).

 

4.2.    OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL.

 

The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.1
are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value,
genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Credit
Documents or Hedging Agreements, or any other agreement or instrument referred
to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other
guarantee of or security for any of the Credit Party Obligations, and, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other
circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.2
that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such
Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or
contribution against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under
this Section IV until such time as the Credit Party Obligations have been
Fully Satisfied. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed
that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more
of the

 

68

 

following shall not alter or
impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall remain absolute and
unconditional as described above:

 

(a)           at any time or from time to time,
without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance
with any of the Credit Party Obligations shall be extended, or such performance
or compliance shall be waived;

 

(b)           any of the acts mentioned in any of
the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, any Hedging Agreement between
any Consolidated Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any
other agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Documents or such
Hedging Agreements shall be done or omitted;

 

(c)           the maturity of any of the Credit
Party Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Credit Party Obligations
shall be increased, modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any
right under any of the Credit Documents, any Hedging Agreement between any
Consolidated Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other
agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Documents or such Hedging
Agreements shall be waived or released or any other guarantee of any of the
Credit Party Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired
or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

 

(d)           any Lien granted to, or in favor of,
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of the
Credit Party Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected or shall be
released; or

 

(e)           any of the Credit Party Obligations
shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for
the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the
claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any
Guarantor).

 

With respect to its obligations hereunder,
each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of
payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or
proceed against any Person under any of the Credit Documents, any Hedging
Agreement between any Consolidated Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a
Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit
Documents or such Hedging Agreements, or against any other Person under any
other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Credit Party Obligations.

 

4.3.    REINSTATEMENT.

 

The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section IV
shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any
payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Credit Party
Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of
the Credit Party Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in
bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it
will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all
reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses
of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection
with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses
incurred in

 

69

 

defending against any claim
alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or
similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

 

4.4.    CERTAIN ADDITIONAL WAIVERS.

 

Without limiting the generality of the provisions of
this Section IV, each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no
right of recourse to security for the Credit Party Obligations, except through
the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 4.2 and through
the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.6.

 

4.5.    REMEDIES.

 

The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Credit Party
Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.2
(and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the
circumstances provided in said Section 9.2) for purposes of Section 4.1
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
declaration (or preventing the Credit Party Obligations from becoming
automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the
event of such declaration (or the Credit Party Obligations being deemed to have
become automatically due and payable), the Credit Party Obligations (whether or
not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable
by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.1. The Guarantors acknowledge
and agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the
terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Lenders may exercise their
remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

 

4.6.    RIGHTS OF CONTRIBUTION.

 

The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves
that, if any Guarantor shall make an Excess Payment (as defined below), such
Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor in an
amount equal to such other Guarantor’s Contribution Share (as defined below) of
such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 4.6
shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Credit Party
Obligations until such time as the Credit Party Obligations have been Fully
Satisfied, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any right or remedy under
this Section 4.6 against any other Guarantor until such Credit Party
Obligations have been Fully Satisfied. For purposes of this Section 4.6, (a) “EXCESS
PAYMENT” shall mean the amount paid by any Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata
Share of any Guaranteed Obligations; (b) “PRO RATA SHARE” shall mean, for
any Guarantor in respect of any payment of Credit Party Obligations, the ratio
(expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such payment of Guaranteed
Obligations of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable
value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and
liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured,
and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor
hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable
value of all assets and other properties of all of the Credit Parties exceeds
the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent,
subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the
obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder) of the Credit Parties; provided,
however, that, for purposes of calculating the

 

70

 

Pro Rata Shares of the
Guarantors in respect of any payment of Credit Party Obligations, any Guarantor
that became a Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such payment shall be
deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such payment and the financial
information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor
shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with such payment; and (C) “CONTRIBUTION
SHARE” shall mean, for any Guarantor in respect of any Excess Payment made by
any other Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of
such Excess Payment of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair
salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all
debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated,
unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such
Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present
fair salable value of all assets and other properties of the Credit Parties
other than the maker of such Excess Payment exceeds the amount of all of the
debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and
unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Credit Parties)
of the Credit Parties other than the maker of such Excess Payment; provided,
however, that, for purposes of calculating the Contribution Shares of
the Guarantors in respect of any Excess Payment, any Guarantor that became a
Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such Excess Payment shall be deemed to
have been a Guarantor on the date of such Excess Payment and the financial
information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor
shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with such Excess Payment.
This Section 4.6 shall not be deemed to affect any right of subrogation,
indemnity, reimbursement or contribution that any Guarantor may have under

POWER; AUTHORIZATION; ENFORCEABLE OBLIGATIONS.

 

Each of the Credit Parties has the corporate or
other necessary power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and

obligation of such Credit Party enforceable against such party in accordance
with its terms, except as enforceability 

 

76

 

may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by
general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in

NO DEFAULT.

 

No Consolidated Party is in default in any respect
under any contract, lease, loan agreement, indenture, mortgage, security

Lien other than Permitted Liens.

Material Adverse Effect.

 

(c)                                  Neither any Consolidated Party nor any

meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or
breach of fiduciary responsibility has occurred with respect to a Plan which
has subjected or may subject any Consolidated Party or any ERISA Affiliate to
any liability under Sections 406, 409, 502(i), or 502(l) of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code, or under any agreement or other instrument pursuant to which any
Consolidated Party or any ERISA Affiliate has agreed or is required to
indemnify any Person against any such liability.

Accounting Standards Board Statement 106. Each Plan which is a welfare plan (as
defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) to which Sections 601-609 of ERISA
and Section 4980B of the Code apply has been administered in compliance in
all material respects with the requirements of such sections.

 

(f)                                    Neither the execution and delivery of
this Credit Agreement nor the consummation of the financing transactions
contemplated hereunder will involve any transaction which is subject to the
prohibitions of Sections 404, 406 or 407 of ERISA or in connection with which a
tax could be imposed pursuant to Section 4975 of the Code. The

repair or replacement of the related Property); provided, however,

without limitation, independent accountants, agents, attorneys, and appraisers
to visit and inspect its property, including its books and records to the
extent allowed by applicable law and regulation, its accounts receivable and
inventory, its facilities and its other business assets, and to make
photocopies thereof and to write down and record any information such
representative obtains and shall permit the Administrative Agent or its
representatives to investigate and verify the accuracy of information provided

as a result of subordination provisions invoked by the Lenders), or (2) a default
in the observance or performance relating to such Indebtedness or contained in

the Administrative Agent, likely to result in the termination of such Plan for
purposes of Title IV of ERISA; (iii) an ERISA Event shall occur with
respect to a Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, which is, in the
reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, likely to result in (A) the
termination of such Plan for purposes of Title IV of ERISA, or (B) any
Consolidated Party or any ERISA Affiliate incurring any liability in connection
with a withdrawal from, reorganization of (within the meaning of Section 4241
of ERISA), or insolvency (within the meaning of Section 4245 of ERISA) of

the following actions (except in the case of an event under paragraph (c)(ii) of
Section 9.1 in respect of a failure to observe or perform the covenant in Section 7.10
if a Cure Notice has been given as set forth in Section 9.3), then the
following actions may not be taken until such time:

 

(a)                                  TERMINATION OF COMMITMENTS. Declare the
Commitments terminated whereupon the Commitments shall be immediately
terminated.

 

(b)                                 ACCELERATION. Declare the Credit Party
Obligations to be due and payable, whereupon the same shall be immediately due
and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby waived by the Credit Parties.

 

(c)                                  CASH COLLATERAL.  Direct the Borrower to pay (and the Borrower
hereby promises to pay, upon receipt of such notice) to the Administrative
Agent additional cash, to be held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of the Lenders, in a cash collateral account as additional security for the LOC
Obligations in respect of subsequent drawings under all then outstanding
Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the maximum aggregate amount which may
be drawn under all Letters of Credits then outstanding.

 

(d)                                 ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS.  Enforce any and all rights and interests

Borrower, then, without the giving of any notice or other action by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders, (i) the Commitments automatically
shall terminate, (ii) all of the outstanding Credit Party Obligations
under clause (i) of the definition thereof automatically shall immediately
become due and payable and (iii) the Borrower automatically shall be
obligated (and hereby promises) to pay to the Administrative Agent additional

an amount equal to the maximum aggregate amount which may be drawn under all
Letters of Credits then outstanding.

 

9.3.    RIGHT TO CURE.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 9, in the event that the Consolidated Parties
fail to comply with the requirements of 

 

106

 

the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.10
the Parent shall have the right (the “CURE RIGHT”), upon delivery by the Parent or the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent of a notice (“CURE NOTICE”) that Parent
intends to execute the Cure Right (which notice may be given during the period
beginning on the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter and ending on the
date delivery of the Parent’s compliance certificate calculating such covenant
is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(c)) to (i) issue
Capital Stock or subordinated debt for cash or otherwise receive cash
contributions to the equity of Parent and (ii) contribute the Net Cash
Proceeds therefrom (the “CURE AMOUNT”) to the Borrower as common equity and
thereupon such financial covenant shall be recalculated giving pro forma effect
to the following: (i) Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased solely for
the purpose of determining compliance or pro forma compliance with Section 7.10
as of the end of the applicable fiscal quarter and applicable subsequent
periods that include such fiscal quarter by an amount equal to the Cure Amount;
and (ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations (but not,
for the avoidance doubt, taking into account any repayment of Indebtedness in
connection therewith), the requirements of such financial covenant shall be
satisfied, then the requirements of such financial covenant shall be deemed
satisfied as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as
though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable
breach or default of such financial covenants that had occurred shall be deemed
cured for the purposes of this Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, (x) in each four fiscal quarter period there shall
be a period of at least one fiscal quarter in which the Cure Right is not
exercised, (y) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount
required for purposes of complying with such financial covenants and (z) during

on or take possession of the Collateral solely on the basis of an Event of
Default having occurred and being continuing under Section 7.10.

 

SECTION X

 

AGENCY
PROVISIONS

 

10.1.   
APPOINTMENT, POWERS AND IMMUNITIES.

 

(a)          Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to act as its agent under this Credit Agreement and the
other Credit Documents with such powers and discretion as are specifically
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Credit Agreement and
the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent (which term as used in this
sentence and in Section 10.5 and the first sentence of Section 10.6
hereof shall include its Affiliates and its own and its Affiliates’ officers,
directors, employees, and agents): (i) shall not have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Credit Agreement and
shall not be a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender; (ii) shall not be
responsible to the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation, or
warranty (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Credit
Document or any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in,
or received by any of them under, any Credit Document, or for the value,
validity, effectiveness, 

 

107

 

genuineness,
enforceability, or sufficiency of any Credit Document, or any other document
referred to or provided for therein or for any failure by any Credit Party or
any other Person to perform any of its obligations thereunder; (iii) shall
not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify
the performance or observance of any covenants or agreements by any Credit
Party or the satisfaction of any condition or to inspect the Property
(including the books and records) of any Credit Party or any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates; and (iv) shall not be responsible for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with any
Credit Document, except to the extent that the taking of such action or
omission is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to constitute its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact
and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such
agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.  The Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the
Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents
associated therewith until such time (and except for so long) as the
Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Required Lenders to act
for the Issuing Lender with respect thereto; provided, however,
that the Issuing Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided
to the Administrative Agent in this Section 10 with respect to any acts
taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Lender in connection with Letters of
Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and
agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully
as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Section 10 included the
Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as
additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Lender.

 

10.2.   
RELIANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

 

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon any certification, notice, instrument, writing, or other communication
(including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone or telecopy) believed
by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by or on
behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal
counsel (including counsel for any Credit Party or Lender), independent
accountants, and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof
for all purposes hereof unless and until the Administrative Agent receives and
accepts an Assignment and Acceptance executed in accordance with Section 11.3(b) hereof.
As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Credit Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take
any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall
be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the
instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding on
all of the Lenders; provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the
Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to any Credit
Document or applicable law or unless it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may
be incurred by it by reason of taking any such action.

 

10.3.   
DEFAULTS.

 

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless
the Administrative Agent has received written 

 

108

 

notice from a Lender or a
Credit Party specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent
receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 10.2 hereof) take such
action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall reasonably be
directed by the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as required by Section 11.6),
provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have
received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the
best interest of the Lenders.

 

10.4.   
RIGHTS AS A LENDER.

 

With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by
it, JPMorgan Chase Bank (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) in
its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not
acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall,
unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its
individual capacity.  JPMorgan Chase Bank
(and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may
(without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money
to, make investments in, provide services to, and generally engage in any kind
of lending, trust, or other business with any Credit Party or any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent,
and JPMorgan Chase Bank (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and
its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or
any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for services in connection with this
Credit Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the
Lenders.

 

10.5.   
INDEMNIFICATION.

 

The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative
Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 11.5 hereof, but without
limiting the obligations of the Credit Parties under such Section) ratably (in
accordance with their respective (i) Revolving Commitments (or, if the
Revolving Commitments have been terminated, the outstanding Revolving Loans and
Participation Interests in Letters of Credit (including the Participation
Interests of the Issuing Lender in Letters of Credit)) and (ii) outstanding
Tranche B Term Loans (and Participation Interests therein)) for, and hold the
Administrative Agent harmless from and against, any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses (including attorneys’ fees), or disbursements of any kind and nature
whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent (including by any Lender) in any way relating to or
arising out of any Credit Document or the transactions contemplated thereby or
any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under any Credit
Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the
foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified. Without limitation of the
foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly
upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or expenses payable by the
Credit Parties under Section 11.5, to the extent that the Administrative
Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Credit
Parties. The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive the 

 

109

 

repayment of the Loans, LOC
Obligations and other obligations under the Credit Documents and the
termination of the Commitments hereunder.

 

10.6.   
NON-RELIANCE ON ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS.

 

Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and
without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries and decision to
enter into this Credit Agreement and that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under the
Credit Documents. Except for notices, reports, and other documents and
information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the
Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any
duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the affairs, financial condition, or business of any
Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that may come into the
possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

 

10.7.   
SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

 

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by
giving 90 days prior notice thereof to the Lenders and the Credit Parties. Upon
any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right with the
consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld) to appoint a
successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have
been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s
giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on
behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be
a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States having combined
capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and
the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation
hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall
continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. If no successor
administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the
date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s
notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of
the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as
the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

 

10.8.   
CO-SYNDICATION AGENTS.

 

The Co-Syndication Agents, in their capacity as
such, shall have no rights, powers, duties, liabilities, fiduciary
relationships or obligations under this Credit Agreement or any of the other
Credit Documents.

 

110

 

10.9.        CO-DOCUMENTATION AGENTS.

 

The Co-Documentation Agents, in their capacity as
such, shall have no rights, powers, duties, liabilities, fiduciary
relationships or obligations under this Credit Agreement or any of the other
Credit Documents.

112

 

11.2.        RIGHT OF SET-OFF; ADJUSTMENTS.

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), 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, other than payroll
or trust accounts) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by
such Lender (or any of its Affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of
any Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of such Person then due
and owing under this Credit Agreement or under any other Credit Document,
irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or
thereunder. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify in writing any affected
Credit Party after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.2
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation,
other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

 

11.3.        BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT.

 

(a)           The provisions of this Credit 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 (i) the
Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and
void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.  Nothing in this Credit 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),
Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby,
the Indemnified Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or
by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b)           (i)  Subject to the conditions set
forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at
the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld) of:

 

(A)          the Borrower, provided
that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

 

(B)           the Administrative Agent,
the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender, provided that no consent of
the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender shall be
required for an assignment of a Term Loan to an assignee that is a Lender,
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund immediately prior to giving effect to
such assignment.

 

113

 

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

 

(A)          except in the case of an
assignment to a Lender, Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s and its
Affiliates’ or Approved Funds’ Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the
assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the
Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of
Revolving Commitments and $1,000,000 in the case of Tranche B Term Loans unless
each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent;

 

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

 

(C)           the parties to each assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

 

(D)          in the case of an assignment
by a Lender to a CLO managed by such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender,
unless such assignment  shall have been
approved by the Borrower (the Borrower agreeing that such an approval, if
requested, will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the assigning Lender
shall retain the sole right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement, provided that the Assignment and
Acceptance between such Lender and such CLO may provide that such Lender will
not, without the consent of such CLO, agree to any amendment, modification or
waiver described in the first proviso to Section 11.6(a) that affects
such CLO; and

 

(E)           the assignee, if it shall
not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative
questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to
whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public
information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or
their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such
information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and
applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

 

(iii)          Subject to acceptance and
recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from
and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of
a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to
the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be
released

 

114

 

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 3.9, 3.11,
3.12 and 11.5 for matters arising while such person was a Lender).  If the assignee is not a United States person
under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, it shall deliver to the Credit
Parties and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from
deduction or withholding of Taxes.  Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.3 shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

 

(iv)          The Administrative Agent,
acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of
its offices a copy of each Assignment and 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 LOC Obligations owing to,
each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “REGISTER”).  The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, 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 Borrower, the Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(v)           Upon its receipt of a duly
completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an
assignee, the assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (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.

 

(c)           Any Lender may, without the consent of
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline
Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”)
in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to
it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (C) the Consolidated Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Lender 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
Credit 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 Credit Documents
and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the
Credit 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

 

115

 

Section 11.6(A) that
affects such Participant.  Subject to
paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.9, 3.11 and 3.12 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 11.2 as
though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.14
as though it were a Lender.

 

(i)            A Participant
shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.9, 3.11
and 3.12 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with
respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the
participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written
consent.  A Participant that would be a
Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.11
unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant
and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.11(d) as
though it were a Lender.

 

(d)           Any Lender may at any time pledge or
assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Credit Agreement (i) to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal
Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any Operating
Circular issued by such 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, (ii) in the case of any Lender
which has made Tranche B Term Loans and is an investment fund, to the trustee
under the indenture to which such fund is a party in support of its obligations
to such trustee for the benefit of the applicable trust beneficiaries and (iii) to
appropriate entities within the Farm Credit System, as collateral security.

 

(e)           Any Lender may furnish any information
concerning the Consolidated Parties in the possession of such Lender from time
to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and
participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 11.14
hereof.

 

11.4.        NO WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

 

No failure or delay on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege
hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between
the Administrative Agent or any Lender and any of the Credit Parties shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein
are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the
Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand
on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle the Credit Parties to any other
or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a
waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any other or
further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

 

116

 

11.5.        EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION.

 

(a)           The Credit Parties jointly and
severally agree to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the
Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication, preparation,
execution, delivery, administration, modification, and amendment of this Credit
Agreement, the other Credit Documents, and the other documents to be delivered
hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto and with respect to
advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under
the Credit Documents. The Credit Parties further jointly and severally agree to
pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and
one counsel to all of the Lenders, if any, in connection with the enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of the Credit
Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, except to the
extent such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost, or expense results from the
gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct of the Person seeking
reimbursement or a breach by such Person of its obligations hereunder.

 

The Credit
Parties jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the
Administrative Agent and each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their
respective officers, directors, trustees, employees and agents (each, an “INDEMNIFIED
PARTY”) from and against any and all obligations, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits claims, damages, actual losses, liabilities, costs, expenses and
disbursements (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees of the
Administrative Agent and, except as provided below, one counsel to all of the
Lenders and excluding taxes) that may be incurred by or awarded against any
Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by
reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation,
litigation, or proceeding or preparation of defense in connection therewith)
the Credit Documents, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual
or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans, except to the extent such claim,
damage, loss, liability, cost, or expense results from the gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party (or any of its
Affiliates or any their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees or
agents) or from a breach by such Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates or
any their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees or agents) of its
obligations hereunder. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other
proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 11.5 applies, such
indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or
proceeding is brought by any of the Credit Parties, their respective directors,
shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any
Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. No party hereto shall assert
any claim against any other party hereto, any of their Affiliates, or any of
their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, attorneys, agents,
and advisers, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential,
or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Credit
Documents, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or
proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans. 
The Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense of any action for
which indemnification is sought by an Indemnified Party hereunder with counsel
of the Borrower’s choice at its expense (in which case the Borrower shall not
thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel
retained by an Indemnified Person except as set forth below); provided, however,
that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to each Indemnified
Party.  Notwithstanding the election by
the Borrower to assume the defense of any such action, each Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the
defense of such action, and the Borrower shall bear the reasonable fees, costs,
and expenses of

 

117

 

such separate
counsel, if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Borrower to represent
such Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the
actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both
the Borrower and such Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are
different from or additional to those available to the Borrower (in which case
the Borrower shall not have the right to assume the defense or such action on
behalf of such Indemnified Party); (iii) the Borrower shall not have
employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to represent
it within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the
Borrower shall authorize such Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at
the Borrower’s expense.

 

(b)           Without prejudice to the survival of
any other agreement of the Credit Parties hereunder, the agreements and
obligations of the Credit Parties contained in this Section 11.5 shall
survive the repayment of the Loans, LOC Obligations and other Credit Party
Obligations and the termination of the Commitments hereunder.

 

11.6.        AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND CONSENTS.

 

Neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Credit
Document nor any of the terms hereof or thereof may be amended, changed,
waived, discharged or terminated unless such amendment, change, waiver,
discharge or termination is in writing entered into by, or approved in writing
by, each of the Credit Parties party thereto and the Required Lenders, provided,
however, that:

 

(a)           without the consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby, neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Credit
Document may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated so as to

 

(i)            extend any Commitment or the
final maturity of any Loan or of any reimbursement obligation, or any portion
thereof, arising from drawings under Letters of Credit, or extend or waive any
Principal Amortization Payment of any Loan, or any portion thereof,

 

(ii)           reduce the rate or extend
the time of payment of interest on any Loan or of any reimbursement obligation,
or any portion thereof, arising from drawings under Letters of Credit (other
than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in
interest rates) or of any Fees,

 

(iii)          reduce or waive the
principal amount of any Loan or of any reimbursement obligation, or any portion
thereof, arising from drawings under Letters of Credit,

 

(iv)          increase the Commitment of a
Lender over the amount thereof in effect (it being understood and agreed that a
waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.2 or of any
Default or Event of Default or mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not
constitute a change in the terms of any Commitment of any Lender),

 

118

 

(v)           except as the result of or
in connection with an Asset Disposition not prohibited by Section 8.5,
release all or substantially all of the Collateral,

 

(vi)          except as the result of or
in connection with a dissolution, merger or disposition of a Consolidated Party
not prohibited by Section 8.4 or Section 8.5, release the Borrower or
substantially all of the other Credit Parties from its or their obligations
under the Credit Documents,

 

(vii)         amend, modify or waive any
provision of this Section 11.6 or Section 3.13(a),

 

(viii)        reduce any percentage specified in the
definition of Required Lenders, or

 

(ix)           consent to the assignment or
transfer by the Borrower or all or substantially all of the other Credit
Parties of any of its or their rights and obligations under (or in respect of)
the Credit Documents except as permitted hereby or thereby;

 

(b)           without the consent of Lenders (other
than Defaulting Lenders) holding in the aggregate at least a majority of the
outstanding Tranche B Term Loans (and Participation Interests therein), Section 3.3(b)(vi) may
not be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated so as to extend the
time for or change the amount or the manner of application of proceeds of any
mandatory prepayment required by Section 3.3(b)(ii), (iii) or (iv) hereof;

 

(c)           without the consent of the
Administrative Agent, no provision of Section 10 may be amended, changed,
waived, discharged or terminated;

 

(d)           without the consent of the Issuing
Lender, no provision of Section 2.2 may be amended, changed, waived,
discharged or terminated;

 

(e)           without the consent of the Swingline
Lender, no provision of Section 2.3 may be amended;

 

(f)            without the consent of Lenders holding
in the aggregate at least two-thirds of (i) the aggregate Revolving
Commitments and the outstanding Tranche B Term Loans or (ii) if all of the
Revolving Commitments have been terminated, the outstanding Loans and LOC
Obligations (including, without limitation, Participation Interests), amend
this Section 11.6 to impose any greater restriction on the ability of any
Lender to assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder; and

 

(g)           Section 7.10 and defined terms
used for purposes of Section 7.10 may be amended, modified, waived or
eliminated with the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders.

 

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of
all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, (x) each
Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy
reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that
the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersedes
the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (y) the Required
Lenders shall determine whether or not to allow a Credit Party to use

 

119

 

cash collateral in the context of a
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding and such determination shall be binding on
all of the Lenders.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Credit Agreement
may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the
Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one
or more additional credit facilities to this Credit Agreement and to permit the
extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued
interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this
Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Tranche B Term Loans
and Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to
include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any
determination of the Required Lenders.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Credit Agreement
and the Credit Documents may be amended with the written consent of the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower to reflect and implement the provisions
of Section 2.6.

 

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Credit Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term
Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Tranche B
Term Loans (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement “B” or “C” term
loan tranche hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”), provided that (a) the
aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the
aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the weighted
average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter
than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the
time of such refinancing and (c) all other terms applicable to such
Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable
to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to
such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for
covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final
maturity of the Refinanced Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time on or
prior to the date that is 120 days after the Closing Date, this Credit
Agreement and any other Credit Document may be amended solely with the consent
of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower without the need to obtain the
consent of any other Lender if such amendment is delivered in order to cure
ambiguities or defects of a technical or immaterial nature in this Credit
Agreement or the applicable Credit Document; provided that (i) the
Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of such changes and (ii) such
changes shall not be adverse to any Lender in any material respect.

 

11.7.        COUNTERPARTS.

 

This Credit Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be an original, but all
of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be
necessary in making proof of this Credit Agreement to produce or account for
more than one such counterpart for each of the parties hereto. Delivery by facsimile
by any of the parties hereto of an executed counterpart of this Credit
Agreement shall be as

 

120

 

effective as an original
executed counterpart hereof and shall be deemed a representation that an
original executed counterpart hereof will be delivered.

 

11.8.        HEADINGS.

 

The headings of the sections hereof are provided for
convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of
any provision of this Credit Agreement.

 

11.9.        SURVIVAL.

 

All indemnities set forth herein, including, without
limitation, in Section 2.2(i), 3.11, 3.12, 10.5 or 11.5 shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans, the
issuance of the Letters of Credit, the repayment of the Loans, LOC Obligations
and other obligations under the Credit Documents and the termination of the
Commitments hereunder, and all representations and warranties made by the
Credit Parties herein shall survive until this Credit Agreement shall be terminated
in accordance with the terms of Section 11.13(b).

 

11.10.      GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE.

 

(a)           THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT AND, UNLESS
OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS
AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Credit Agreement or
any other Credit Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York
in New York County, or of the United States for the Southern District of New
York, and, by execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, each of the
Credit Parties hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its
property, generally and unconditionally, the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such
courts. Each of the Credit Parties further irrevocably consents to the service
of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or
proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, to it at the address set out for notices pursuant to Section 11.1,
such service to become effective three (3) days after such mailing.
Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal
proceedings or to otherwise proceed against any Credit Party in any other
jurisdiction.

 

(b)           Each of the Credit Parties hereby
irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of
or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document
brought in the courts referred to in subsection (a) above and hereby
further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court
that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought
in an inconvenient forum.

 

(c)           TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS AND EACH OF THE CREDIT PARTIES HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR
COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS

 

121

 

CREDIT AGREEMENT,
ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

11.11.      SEVERABILITY.

 

If any provision of any of the Credit Documents is
determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be
fully severable and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and
effect and shall be construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions.

 

11.12.      ENTIRETY.

 

This Credit Agreement together with the other Credit
Documents represent the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any,
including any commitment letters or correspondence relating to the Credit
Documents or the transactions contemplated herein and therein.

 

11.13.      BINDING EFFECT; TERMINATION.

 

(a)           This Credit Agreement shall become
effective at such time on or after the Closing Date when it shall have been
executed by each Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof (telefaxed or otherwise)
which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each Lender, and thereafter
this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each
Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective
successors and assigns.

 

(b)           The term of this Credit Agreement shall
be until the Credit Party Obligations under clause (i) of such definition
(other than contingent indemnity obligations) are Fully Satisfied.

 

11.14.      CONFIDENTIALITY.

 

i)              The
Administrative Agent and each Lender (each, a “LENDING PARTY”) agrees to keep
confidential any information furnished or made available to it by or on behalf
of the Credit Parties pursuant to this Credit Agreement; provided that
nothing herein shall prevent any Lending Party from disclosing such information
(a) to any other Lending Party or any Affiliate of any Lending Party, or
any officer, director, trustee, employee, agent, or advisor of any Lending
Party or Affiliate of any Lending Party, provided in each case that such Person
is informed of the confidential nature of such information, (b) to any
other Person if reasonably incidental to the administration of the Credit
Facilities, provided in each case that such Person is informed of the confidential
nature of such information, (c) as required by any law, rule, or
regulation, (d) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (e) upon
the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction
over such Lending Party, (f) that is or becomes available to the public or
that is or becomes available to any Lending Party other than as a result of a
disclosure by any Lending Party or other Person bound by this Section 11.14
prohibited by this Credit Agreement, (g) in connection with any litigation
to which such Lending Party or any of its Affiliates may be a party, provided,
such Lending Party will, to the extent practical, use reasonable efforts to
notify the Borrower prior to such disclosure, (h) to the

 

122

 

extent necessary in
connection with the exercise of any remedy under this Credit Agreement or any
other Credit Document, (i) to the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating
agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment
portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, (j) to
any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual
counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty
or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty (i) has been
approved in writing by the Borrower and (ii) agrees in a writing
enforceable by the Borrower to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.14)
and (k) subject to provisions substantially similar to those contained in
this Section 11.14, to any actual or proposed participant or assignee.

 

Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished
to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents may include
material non-public information concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates and
their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has
developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and that it will handle such material non-public information in
accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and
state securities laws.

 

All information, including requests for waivers and
amendments, furnished by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to,
or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other Credit Documents
will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public
information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or
their respective securities. 
Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent that it has identified in its administrative questionnaire
a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material
non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and
applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

 

11.15.      SOURCE OF FUNDS.

 

Each of the Lenders hereby represents and warrants
to the Borrower that at least one of the following statements is an accurate
representation as to the source of funds to be used by such Lender in
connection with the financing hereunder:

 

(a)           no part of such funds constitutes
assets allocated by such Lender to any separate account maintained by such
Lender in which any employee benefit plan (or its related trust) has any
interest;

 

(b)           to the extent that any part of such
funds constitutes assets allocated to any separate account maintained by such
Lender, such Lender has disclosed to the Borrower the name of each employee
benefit plan whose assets in such account exceed 10% of the total assets of
such account as of the date of such purchase (and, for purposes of this clause
(b), all employee benefit plans maintained by the same employer or employee
organization are deemed to be a single plan);

 

(c)           to the extent that any part of such
funds constitutes assets of an insurance company’s general account, such
insurance company has complied with all of the requirements of the regulations
issued under Section 401(c)(1)(A) of ERISA; or

 

123

 

(d)           such funds constitute assets of one or
more specific benefit plans which such Lender has identified in writing to the
Borrower.

 

As used in this Section 11.15, the terms
“employee benefit plan” and “separate account” shall have the respective
meanings assigned to such terms in Section 3 of ERISA.

 

11.16.      REGULATION D.

 

Each of the Lenders hereby represents and warrants
to the Borrower that it is a commercial lender, other financial institution or
other “accredited” investor (as defined in SEC Regulation D) which makes or
acquires or loans in the ordinary course of business and that it will make or
acquire Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of business.

 

11.17.      CONFLICT.

 

To the extent that there is a conflict or
inconsistency between any provision hereof, on the one hand, and any provision
of any Credit Document, on the other hand, this Credit Agreement shall control.

 

11.18.      USA PATRIOT ACT

 

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

 

11.19.      NO NOVATION;
AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT.

 

(a)           This Agreement does not extinguish the
outstanding indebtedness evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement or any
Credit Documents or discharge or release any lien or security interest or any
other security for the Loans or other obligations under the Existing Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Document, all of which liens and security
interests shall continue to secure the Loans and other Credit Party Obligations
under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed
as a substitution or novation of the original indebtedness or of the
instruments securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect,
except as amended hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith.

 

(b)           This Credit Agreement shall be deemed
to be an amendment to and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement.  All extensions of credit under the Existing
Credit Agreement on the Closing Date shall remain outstanding following the
Closing Date as specified in Sections 2.7 and 2.2(a) and shall be
continued under this Credit Agreement, as amended in the manner set forth
herein.  All references to the Existing
Credit Agreement in any other agreement or document shall, on and after the
Closing Date, be deemed to refer to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended
and restated hereby.  Each Credit Party
agrees, acknowledges and affirms that (i) each of the Collateral Documents
to which it is a party shall remain in full force and effect except to the
extent amended in connection hereunder and shall constitute security for

 

124

 

all
extensions of credit pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended and
restated hereby and (ii) any reference to the Existing Credit Agreement
appearing in any such Collateral Document shall on and after the Closing Date
be deemed to refer to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended and restated
hereby.

 

(c)           On the Closing Date, each Exiting
Lender shall be deemed to agree that, upon its acceptance of the outstanding
amounts owed to it under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Closing Date,
such Exiting Lender shall have consented to the amendment and restatement of
the Existing Credit Agreement as provided herein, the redesignation of certain
Loans and Commitments (each as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) set
forth in Sections 2.7 and 2.2(a) hereof and the assignment of the Loans
and all other rights under the Existing Credit Agreement to the extent
necessary to give effect to such redesignation set forth in Sections 2.7 and
2.2(a).
