                EPICUS COMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INC.

                     2004 STOCK OPTION PLAN
                     ----------------------

1.   Purpose
     -------

            The purpose of this plan (this "Plan") is to secure for
EPICUS COMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INC. (the "Company") and its
shareholders the benefits arising from capital stock ownership by
employees, officers, directors, consultants and other service
providers of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the
Company (each an "Affiliate") who are expected to contribute to
the Company's future growth and success.  This Plan is also
designed to attract and retain other persons who will provide
services to the Company.  Those provisions of this Plan which
make express reference to Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended or replaced from time to time (the
"Code"), shall apply only to Incentive Stock Options (as that
term is defined herein).

2.   Type of Options and Administration
     ----------------------------------

     (a)    Types of Options.  Options granted pursuant to the Plan
            ----------------
shall be authorized by action of the Board of Directors (the
"Board") of the Company (or the committee appointed by the Board
in accordance with Section 2(b) below) and may be either
incentive stock options ("Incentive Stock Options") intended to
meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code or non-statutory
options which are not intended to meet the requirements of
Section 422 of the Code ("Non-Qualified Options").

     (b)    Administration.  The Plan will be administered by the
            --------------
Board or by a committee consisting of two or more directors each
of whom shall be a "non-employee director," within the meaning of
Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or any successor rule ("Rule 16b-
3"), and an "outside director", within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.162-27(e)(3) promulgated under Section
162(m) of the Code, (the "Committee") appointed by the Board, in
each case whose construction and interpretation of the terms and
provisions of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding
upon the optionee and all other persons interested or claiming
interests under the Plan.  If the Board determines to create a
Committee to administer the Plan, the delegation of powers to the
Committee shall be consistent with applicable laws or regulations
(including, without limitation, applicable state law and Rule 16b-
3).  The Board or the Committee may in its sole discretion grant
options to purchase any class of the Company's shares (the
"Shares"), and issue Shares upon exercise of such options as
provided herein.  The Board or the Committee shall have
authority, subject to the express provisions of the Plan, to
construe the respective option agreements and the Plan; to
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to
the Plan; to determine the terms and provisions of the respective
option agreements, which need not be identical; and to make all
other determinations in the judgment of the Board or the
Committee necessary or desirable for the administration of the
Plan.  The Board or the Committee may correct any defect or
supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency herein or in
any option agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall
deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect and it shall be the

<PAGE>

sole and final judge of such expediency.  No director or person
acting pursuant to authority delegated by the Board shall be
liable for any action or determination under the Plan made in
good faith.

3.   Eligibility
     -----------

          Options may be granted to persons who are, at the time
of grant, employees, officers, directors, consultants or other
service providers of the Company or any Affiliate, provided that
Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to individuals who
are employees (within the meaning of Section 3401(c) of the Code)
of the Company or any Affiliate.  Options may also be granted to
other persons, provided that such options shall be Non-Qualified
Options.  A person who has been granted an option may, if he or
she is otherwise eligible, be granted additional options if the
Board or the Committee shall so determine.

4.   Stock Subject to Plan
     ---------------------

          The Shares subject to options granted under the Plan
shall be authorized but unissued Shares or reacquired Shares.
Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15 below, the
maximum number of Shares of the Company which may be issued and
sold under the Plan is 20,000,000.  If an option granted under
the Plan shall expire, terminate or is cancelled for any reason
without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased Shares
subject to such option shall again be available for subsequent
option grants under the Plan.

5.   Forms of Option Agreements
     --------------------------

          As a condition to the grant of an option under the
Plan, each recipient of an option shall execute an option
agreement in such form not inconsistent with the Plan and as may
be approved by the Board or the Committee.  The terms of such
option agreements may differ among recipients.

6.   Purchase Price
     --------------

          (a)  General.  The purchase price per Share issuable upon
               -------
the exercise of an option shall be determined by the Board or the
Committee at the time of grant of such option, provided, however,
that such exercise price in the case of Incentive Stock Options,
shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value (as
hereinafter defined) of such Shares at the time of grant of such
option, and for Incentive Stock Options granted to a "10%
Shareholder" (as defined in Section 11(b)), shall not be less
than 110% of such Fair Market Value.  "Fair Market Value" of a
Share as of a specified date for purposes of the Plan shall mean
the closing price of a Share on the principal securities exchange
(including, but not limited to, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the
Nasdaq National Market) on which such Shares are traded on the
day immediately preceding the date as of which Fair Market Value
is being determined, or on the next preceding date on which such
Shares are traded if no Shares were traded on such immediately
preceding day, or if the Shares are not traded on a securities
exchange, Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of
the high bid and low asked prices of the Shares in the over-the-
counter market on the day immediately preceding the date as of
which Fair Market Value is being determined or on the next
preceding date on which such high bid and low asked prices were
recorded.  If the Shares are not publicly traded, Fair Market
Value of a Share (including, in the case of any repurchase of

<PAGE>

Shares, any distributions with respect thereto which would be
repurchased with the Shares) shall be determined in good faith by
the Board taking into consideration prices at which the Company
has issued Shares during the preceding six months.  In no case
shall Fair Market Value be determined with regard to restrictions
other than restrictions which, by their terms, will never lapse.

     (b)    Payment of Purchase Price.  Options granted under
            -------------------------
the Plan may provide for the payment of the exercise price by
delivery of cash or a check to the order of the Company in an
amount equal to the exercise price of such options, or by any
other means which the Board determines are consistent with the
purpose of the Plan and with applicable laws and regulations
(including, without limitation, the provisions of Rule 16b-3).

7.   Option Exercise Period
     ----------------------

          Subject to earlier termination as provided herein, each
option and all rights thereunder shall expire on such date as
determined by the Board or the Committee and set  forth in the
applicable option agreement, provided that such date shall not be
later  than ten (10) years after the date on which the option is
granted, or as prescribed by Section 11(b) hereinbelow.

8.   Exercise of Options
     -------------------

          Each option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable
either in full or in installments at such time or times and
during such period as shall be set forth in the option agreement
evidencing such option, subject to the provisions of the Plan.
Subject to the requirements in the immediately preceding
sentence, if an option is not at the time of grant immediately
exercisable, the Board or the Committee may (i) in the agreement
evidencing such option, provide for the acceleration of the
exercise date or dates of the subject option upon the occurrence
of specified events and/or (ii) at any time prior to the complete
termination of an option, accelerate the exercise date or dates
of such option.

9.   Nontransferability of Options
     -----------------------------

          No option granted under this Plan shall be assignable
or otherwise transferable by the optionee, except by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution.  An option may be exercised
during the lifetime of the optionee only by the optionee.

<PAGE>

10.  Effect of Termination of Employment or Other Relationship
     ---------------------------------------------------------

     (a)    Except as provided in Section 11(b) with respect
to Incentive Stock Options and except as may otherwise be
determined by the Board or the Committee at the date of grant of
an option, and subject to the provisions of the Plan, an optionee
may exercise an option at any time within three (3) months
following the termination of the optionee's employment or other
relationship with the Company and its Affiliates or within one
(1) year if such termination was due to the death or disability
(within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or any
successor provisions thereto) of the optionee (to the extent such
option is otherwise exercisable at the time of such termination)
but in no event later than the expiration date of the option.

     (b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as may
otherwise be determined by the Board or the Committee, if the
termination of the optionee's employment or other relationship
with the Company and/or its Affiliate is for cause, the option
shall expire immediately upon such termination.  The Board or the
Committee shall have the power to determine, in its sole
discretion, what constitutes a termination for cause, whether an
optionee has been terminated for cause, and the date upon which
such termination for cause occurs.  Any such determinations shall
be final and conclusive and binding upon the optionee and all
other persons interested or claiming interests under the Plan.

11.  Incentive Stock Options
     -----------------------

            Options granted under the Plan which are intended to be
Incentive Stock Options shall be subject to the following additional
terms and conditions:

     (a)    Express Designation.  All Incentive Stock Options
            -------------------
granted under the Plan shall, at the time of grant, be
specifically designated as such in the option agreement covering
such Incentive Stock Options.

     (b)    10% Shareholder.  If any employee to whom an
            ---------------
Incentive Stock Option is to be granted under the Plan is, at the
time of the grant of such option, the owner of stock possessing
more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes
of stock of the Company (after taking into account the
attribution of stock ownership rules of Section 424(d) of the
Code), then the following special provisions shall be applicable
to the Incentive Stock Option granted to such individual:

            (i)     the purchase price per Share subject to such
     Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 110% of the
     Fair Market Value of one Share at the time of grant; and

            (ii)    the option exercise period shall not exceed
     five (5) years from the date of grant.

     (c)    Dollar Limitation.  For so long as the Code shall so
            -----------------
provide, options granted to any employee under the Plan (and any
other incentive stock option plans of the Company) which are

<PAGE>

intended to constitute Incentive Stock Options shall not
constitute Incentive Stock Options to the extent that such
options, in the aggregate, become exercisable for the first time
in any one calendar year for Shares with an aggregate Fair Market
Value, as of the respective date or dates of grant, of more than
$100,000.

     (d)    Termination of Employment, Death or Disability.  No
            ----------------------------------------------
Incentive Stock Option may be exercised unless, at the time of
such exercise, the optionee is, and has been continuously since
the date of grant of his or her option, employed by the Company
or an Affiliate, except that:

            (i)     an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised
     within  the  period of three (3) months after the date the
     optionee ceases  to be an employee of the Company or an
     Affiliate (or within such lesser period as may be specified
     in the applicable option agreement), to the extent it is
     otherwise exercisable at the time of such cessation,

            (ii)    if the optionee dies while in the employ of
     the  Company  or  an Affiliate, or within three (3) months
     after the optionee ceases to be such an employee, the
     Incentive Stock Option may be exercised by the person to
     whom it is transferred by will or the laws of descent and
     distribution within the period of one (1) year after the
     date of death (or within such lesser period as may be
     specified in the applicable option agreement), to the extent
     it is otherwise exercisable at the time of the optionee's
     death, and

            (iii)   if the optionee becomes disabled (within
     the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or any successor
     provisions thereto) while in the employ of the Company or an
     Affiliate, the  Incentive Stock Option may be exercised
     within the period of one (1) year after the date the
     optionee ceases to be such an employee because of such
     disability (or within such lesser period as may be specified
     in the applicable option agreement), to the extent it is
     otherwise exercisable at the time of such cessation.

          For all purposes of the Plan and any option granted
hereunder, "employment" shall be defined in accordance with the
provisions of Section 1.421-7(h) of the Income Tax Regulations
(or any successor regulations).  Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions, no Incentive Stock Option may be exercised after its
expiration date.

12.  Additional Provisions
     ---------------------

     (a)    Additional Option Provisions.  The Board or the
            ----------------------------
Committee may, in its sole discretion, include additional
provisions in option agreements covering options granted under
the Plan, including without limitation, restrictions on transfer,
repurchase rights, rights of first refusal, commitments to pay
cash bonuses or to make, arrange for or guaranty loans or to
transfer other property to optionees upon exercise of options, or
such other provisions as shall be determined by the Board or the
Committee, provided that such additional provisions shall not be
inconsistent with the requirements of applicable law and such
additional provisions shall not cause any Incentive Stock Option
granted under the Plan to fail to qualify as an Incentive Stock
Option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

<PAGE>

     (b)    Acceleration, Extension, Etc.  The Board or the
            ----------------------------
Committee may, in its sole discretion (i) accelerate the date or
dates on which all or any particular option or options granted
under the Plan may be exercised, or (ii) extend the dates during
which all, or any particular, option or options granted under the
Plan may be exercised, provided, however, that no such
acceleration or extension shall be permitted if it would (i)
cause any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan to fail
to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code, or (ii) cause the Plan or any option
granted under the Plan to fail to comply with Rule 16b-3 (if
applicable to the Plan or such option).

13.  General Restrictions
     --------------------

     (a)    Investment Representations.  The Board or the
            --------------------------
Committee may require any person to whom an option is granted, as
a condition of exercising such option or award, to give written
assurances in substance and form satisfactory to the Board or the
Committee to the effect that such person is acquiring the Shares
subject to the option or award for his or her own account for
investment and not with any present intention of selling or
otherwise distributing the same, and to such other effects as the
Board or the Committee deems necessary or appropriate in order to
comply with applicable federal and state securities laws, or with
covenants or representations made by the Company in connection
with any public offering of its Shares, including any "lock-up"
or other restriction on transferability.

     (b)    Compliance With Securities Law.  Each option shall
            ------------------------------
be subject to the requirement that if, at any time, counsel to
the Company shall determine that the listing, registration or
qualification of the Shares subject to such option or award upon
any securities exchange or automated quotation system or under
any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any
governmental or regulatory body, or that the disclosure of non-
public information or the satisfaction of any other condition, is
necessary as a condition of, or in connection with the issuance
or purchase of Shares thereunder, except to the extent expressly
permitted by the Board, such option or award may not be
exercised, in whole or in part, unless such listing,
registration, qualification, consent or approval or satisfaction
of such condition shall have been effected or obtained on
conditions acceptable to the Board or the Committee.  Nothing
herein shall be deemed to require the Company to apply for or to
obtain such listing, registration, qualification, consent or
approval, or to satisfy such condition.  In addition, Shares
issued upon the exercise of options may bear such legends as the
Company may deem advisable to reflect restrictions which may be
imposed by law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, any state "blue sky" or other applicable
federal or state securities law.

14.  Rights as a Shareholder
     -----------------------

          The holder of an option shall have no rights as a
shareholder with respect to any shares covered by the option
(including, without limitation, any right to vote or to receive
dividends or non-cash distributions with respect to such shares)
until the effective date of exercise of such option and then only
to the extent of the Shares so purchased.  No adjustment shall be
made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is
prior to the date of exercise.

<PAGE>

15.  Adjustment Provisions for Recapitalizations, Reorganizations
     and Related Transactions
     ------------------------------------------------------------

     (a)    Recapitalizations, Reorganizations and Related
            ----------------------------------------------
Transactions.  If, through or as a result of any recapitalization,
------------
reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock
split or other similar transaction (i) the outstanding Shares are
increased, decreased or exchanged for a different number or kind
of shares or other securities of the Company, or (ii) additional
Shares or new or different shares or other non-cash assets are
distributed with respect to such Shares or other securities, an
appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made in (x) the
maximum number and kind of Shares reserved for issuance under or
otherwise referred to herein, (y) the number and kind of Shares
or other securities subject to any then-outstanding options under
the Plan, and (z) the price for each Share subject to any then-
outstanding options under the Plan, without changing the
aggregate purchase price as to which such options remain
exercisable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall
be made pursuant to this Section 15 if such adjustment (A) would
cause any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan to fail
to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code, (B) would cause the Plan or any option
granted under the Plan to fail to comply with Rule 16b-3 (if
applicable to the Plan or such option), or (C) would be
considered as the adoption of a new plan requiring shareholder
approval.

     (b)    Board Authority to Make Adjustments.  Any
            -----------------------------------
adjustments under this Section 15 will be made by the Board or
the Committee, whose determination as to what adjustments, if
any, will be made and the extent thereof will be final, binding
and conclusive.  No fractional shares will be issued under the
Plan on account of any such adjustments.

16.  No Employment Rights
     --------------------

           Nothing contained herein or in any option agreement
shall confer upon any optionee any right with respect to the
continuation of his or her employment or other relationship with
the  Company or an Affiliate or interfere in any way with the
right of the Company or an Affiliate at any time to terminate
such employment or relationship or to increase or decrease the
compensation of the optionee.

17.  Amendment, Modification or Termination of the Plan
     --------------------------------------------------

     (a)    The Board may at any time modify, amend or
terminate the Plan, provided that to the extent required by
applicable law, any such modification, amendment or termination
shall be subject to the approval of the shareholders of the
Company.

     (b)    The modification, amendment or termination of the
Plan shall not, without the consent of an optionee, affect his or
her rights under an option previously granted to him or her.
With the consent of the optionee affected, the Board or the
Committee may amend or modify outstanding option agreements in a
manner not inconsistent with the Plan.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Board shall have the right (but not the
obligation), without the consent of the optionee affected, to

<PAGE>

amend or modify (i) the terms and provisions of the Plan and of
any outstanding Incentive Stock Option agreements to the extent
necessary to qualify any or all such options for such favorable
federal income tax treatment (including deferral of taxation upon
exercise) as may be afforded incentive stock options under
Section 422 of the Code, (ii) the terms and provisions of the
Plan and the option agreements entered into in connection with
any outstanding options to the extent necessary to ensure the
qualification of the Plan and such options under Rule 16b-3 (if
applicable to the Plan and such options), and (iii) the terms and
provisions of the Plan and the option agreements entered into in
connection with any outstanding options to the extent that the
Board determines necessary to preserve the deduction of
compensation paid to certain optionees who are "covered
employees," within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.162-27(c)(2), as a result of the grant or exercise of options
under the Plan.

18.  Withholding
     -----------

     (a)    The Company shall have the right to deduct and
withhold from payments or distributions of any kind otherwise due
to the optionee any federal, state or local taxes of any kind
required by law to be so deducted and withheld with respect to
any Shares issued upon exercise of options under the Plan.
Subject to the prior approval of the Company, which may be
withheld by the Company in its sole discretion, the optionee may
elect to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part by (i)
causing the Company to withhold Shares otherwise issuable
pursuant to the exercise of an option, (ii) delivering to the
Company Shares already owned by the optionee, or (iii) delivering
to the Company cash or a check to the order of the Company in an
amount equal to the amount required to be so deducted and
withheld.  The Shares delivered in accordance with method (ii)
above or withheld in accordance with method (i) above shall have
a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligation as of
the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be
determined.  An optionee who has made (with the Company's
approval) an election pursuant to method (i) or (ii) of this
Section 18(a) may only satisfy his or her withholding obligation
with Shares which are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture,
unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements.

     (b)    The acceptance of Shares upon exercise of an
Incentive Stock Option shall constitute an agreement by the
optionee (i) to notify the Company if any or all of such Shares
are disposed of by the optionee within two (2) years from the
date the option was granted or within one (1) year from the date
the shares were issued to the optionee pursuant to the exercise
of the option, and (ii) if required by law, to remit to the
Company, at the time of and in the case of any such disposition,
an amount sufficient to satisfy the Company's federal, state and
local withholding tax obligations with respect to such
disposition, whether or not, as to both (i) and (ii), the
optionee is in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate at the
time of such disposition.

19.  Cancellation and New Grant of Options, etc.
     -------------------------------------------

           The Board or the Committee shall have the authority to
effect,  at  any time and from time to time, with the consent  of
the  affected  optionee(s) the (i) cancellation  of  any  or  all
outstanding  options under the Plan and the grant in substitution
therefor  of  new options under the Plan (or any successor  stock
option  plan  of  the  Company) covering the  same  or  different

<PAGE>

numbers of Shares and having an option exercise price per Share
which may be lower or higher than the exercise price per share of
the cancelled options, or (ii) amendment of the terms of the
option agreements entered into in connection with any and all
outstanding options under the Plan to provide an option exercise
price per share which is higher or lower than the then-current
exercise price per Share of such outstanding options.

20.  Effective Date and Duration of the Plan
     ---------------------------------------

     (a)    Effective Date.  The Plan shall become effective
            --------------
when adopted by the Board, but no Incentive Stock Option granted
under the Plan shall become exercisable unless and until the Plan
shall have been approved by the Company's shareholders.  If such
shareholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months
after the date of the Board's adoption of the Plan, no options
previously granted under the Plan shall be deemed to be Incentive
Stock Options and no Incentive Stock Options shall be granted
thereafter.  Amendments to the Plan shall become effective as of
the latest of (i) the date of adoption by the Board, (ii) the
date set forth in the amendments or (iii) in the case of any
amendment requiring shareholder approval (as set forth in Section
17), the date such amendment is approved by the Company's
shareholders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incentive Stock
Option granted on or after the effective date of such amendment
shall become exercisable unless and until such amendment shall
have been approved by the Company's shareholders.  If such
shareholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months of
the Board's adoption of such amendment, no options granted on or
after the effective date of such amendment shall be deemed
Incentive Stock Options and no Incentive Stock Options shall be
granted thereafter.  Subject to above limitations, options may be
granted under the Plan at any time after the effective date of
the Plan and before the date fixed for termination of the Plan.

     (b)    Termination.  Unless sooner terminated by the
            -----------
Board, the Plan shall terminate upon the close of business on the
day next preceding the tenth anniversary of the date of its
adoption by the Board.  After termination of the Plan, no further
options may be granted under the Plan; provided, however, that
such termination will not affect any options granted prior to
termination of the Plan.

21.  Governing Law
     -------------

            The provisions of this Plan shall be governed and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida
without regard to the principles thereof relating to the
conflicts of laws.

ARTICLE II

The Credits

     SECTION 2.01. Commitments to Lend. On the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to lend to the Borrower, from
time to time during the Revolving Credit Period, amounts not to exceed in the
aggregate at any one time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment.
Each Borrowing under this Section 2.01 shall be in an aggregate principal
amount of $15,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 (except that any
such Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Commitments) and
shall be made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to their
respective Commitments. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow
under this Section, repay, or to the extent permitted by Section 2.12, prepay
Loans and reborrow at any time during the Revolving Credit Period under this
Section. Failure by any Lender to make Loans as required under the terms of
this Agreement will not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Money Market Loans made by a Lender shall be
deemed usage of the total Commitments for the purpose of availability, but
shall not reduce such Lender’s obligation to lend its pro rata share of its
Commitment.

     SECTION 2.02. Notice of Committed Borrowings. The Borrower shall give the
Agent notice (a “Notice of Committed Borrowing”) not later than 10:30 A.M. (New

	 	     (b) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing,
	 
	 	     (c) whether the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be Base Rate
Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, and
	 
	 	     (d) in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, the duration of the

Interest Period in a single Money Market Quote Request. No Money Market Quote
Request shall be given within five Euro-Dollar Business Days (or following

     (c)  Invitation for Money Market Quotes. Promptly upon receipt of a Money
Market Quote Request, the Agent shall send to the Lenders by telex or facsimile

     (e)  Notice to Borrower. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of
the terms (x) of any Money Market Quote submitted by a Lender that is in
accordance with subsection (d) and (y) of any Money Market Quote that amends,
modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Money Market Quote
submitted by such Lender with respect to the same Money Market Quote Request.
Any such subsequent Money Market Quote shall be disregarded by the Agent unless
such subsequent Money Market Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest

York City time) on (x) the third Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to the proposed

Money Market Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction
for which such change is to be effective), the Borrower shall notify the Agent
of its acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to

Market Borrowing”) shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for
each Interest Period that are accepted. The Borrower may accept any Money
Market Quote for any Interest Period in whole or in part; provided that:

		
	 	     (i) the aggregate principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing
may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Money
Market Quote Request,
	 
	 	     (ii) the principal amount of each Money Market Borrowing must be

	 	     (iv) the Borrower may not accept any offer that is described in
subsection (d)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the
requirements of this Agreement.

     (g)  Allocation by Agent. If offers are made by two or more Lenders with

be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of
which such offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal
amount of Money Market Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall
be allocated by the Agent among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in
multiples of such number, not greater than $1,000,000 as the Agent may deem
appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers.
Determinations by the Agent of the pro rata amounts of Money Market Loans shall

Borrowing, each Lender participating therein shall make available its share of
such Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York

Unless the Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article
III has not been satisfied, the Agent will make the funds so received from the
Lenders available to the Borrower at the Agent’s aforesaid address.

     (c)  Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent
such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender
has made such share available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in
accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.04 and the Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so
made such share available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally
agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at
(i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the
Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section
2.09 and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such
Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so
repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing for
purposes of this Agreement.

accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the

Commitment of each Lender and the amount of each Loan made hereunder by such

amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the accounts of the
Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

     (c)  The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b)
of this Section 2.05 shall be evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations recorded therein and shall be presumptively correct absent
demonstrable error; provided that the failure of the Agent to maintain such
accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of
the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     (d)  Any Lender may request in writing that Loans made by it be evidenced
by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to
such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender in the form of Exhibit
A. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at
all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.05) be represented
by one or more Notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named
therein.

     (e)  Each Lender agrees that it will cancel and return to the Borrower all
Notes then held by it upon the earlier of (i) the Termination Date (or, in the
case of any Note or Notes evidencing Term Loans, the Term-Out Maturity Date);
provided that no Default shall have then occurred and be continuing or (ii) the
date such Lender’s Commitment has been terminated and there are no Loans
outstanding to or accrued interest owing to such Lender.

     SECTION 2.06. Maturity of Loans. (a) The Committed Loans of each Lender
shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable,
together with accrued interest thereon, on the Termination Date (or, in the
case of Term Loans, the Term-Out Maturity Date).

     (b)  Each Money Market Loan shall mature, and the principal amount thereof
shall be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon, on the last
day of the Interest Period applicable to such Money Market Loan.

     SECTION 2.07. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) The
Commitments of each Lender shall terminate on the Termination Date.

     (b)  During the Revolving Credit Period the Borrower may, upon at least
three Domestic Business Days’ notice to the Agent, terminate the Commitments at
any time, if no Loans are outstanding at such time.

     (c) During the Revolving Credit Period the Borrower may, upon at least
three Domestic Business Days’ notice to the Agent, ratably reduce the
Commitments from time to time by an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any
larger multiple of

$1,000,000, but only to the extent that the aggregate amount of the
Commitments exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans.

     SECTION 2.08. Increase in Commitments. (a) During the Revolving Credit
Period, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly
deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request at any time or from time to
time that the total Commitments be increased; provided that (i) the aggregate
amount of all such increases pursuant to this Section shall not exceed
$75,000,000, (ii) the Borrower shall offer each Lender the opportunity to
increase its Commitment by its Applicable Percentage of the proposed increased
amount, and (iii) each Lender, in its sole discretion, may either (A) agree to
increase its Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount or (B)
decline to increase its Commitment. Any such notice shall set forth the amount
of the requested increase in the total Commitments and the date on which such
increase is requested to become effective. In the event that the Lenders shall
have agreed to increase their Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the
increase in the total Commitments requested by the Borrower, the Borrower may
arrange for one or more banks or other financial institutions (any such bank or
other financial institution being called an “Augmenting Lender”), which may
include any Lender, to extend Commitments or increase its existing Commitments
in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount; provided that (i) each
Augmenting Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the
approval of the Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and
(ii) each Augmenting Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall become a
party to this Agreement by completing and delivering to the Agent a duly
executed accession agreement in a form satisfactory to the Agent and the
Borrower. Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this paragraph (a)
shall become effective on the date specified in the notice delivered by the
Borrower pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no increase in the total Commitments (or in the Commitment of any
Lender) shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the date of
such increase, the conditions set forth in clauses (b) and (d) of Section 3.02
shall be satisfied (as though a Borrowing were being made on such date) and the
Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and
executed by a Responsible Financial Officer of the Borrower, and (ii) the Agent
shall have received (to the extent requested by the Agent reasonably in advance
of such date) documents consistent with those delivered under clauses (c) and
(d) of Section 3.01 as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to
borrow hereunder and as to the enforceability of this Agreement after giving
effect to such increase.

     (b) At the time that any increase in the total Commitments pursuant to
paragraph (a) above (a “Commitment Increase”) becomes effective, if any
Committed Loans are outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay in accordance with
Section 2.12 the aggregate principal amount of all Committed Loans outstanding
(the “Initial Loans”); provided that (i) nothing in this Section shall prevent
the Borrower from funding the prepayment of Initial Loans with concurrent
Borrowings hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,
giving effect to the Commitment Increase, and (ii) no such prepayment shall be
required if, after giving effect to the Commitment Increase, each Lender has
the same Applicable Percentage as immediately prior to such Commitment
Increase.

Base Rate Margin plus the Base Rate for such day. Such interest shall be
payable for each Interest Period on the earlier of (i) the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto or (ii) the Termination Date (or, in the
case of Term Loans, the Term-Out Maturity Date). Any overdue principal of and,
to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest on any Base Rate Loan shall

equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate Margin plus the Base Rate for such
day.

     The “Base Rate Margin” applicable to any Base Rate Loan outstanding on any
day, subject to paragraph (c) of this Section, means:

		
	 	     (i) if such day falls within a Level I Period, Level II Period,
Level III Period or Level IV Period, then 0%;

		
	 	     (ii) if such day falls within a Level V Period, then 0.400%;

annum equal to the sum of the Euro-Dollar Margin plus the applicable London
Interbank Offered Rate. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest
Period on the earlier of (i) the last day thereof, (ii) three months after the
initial date thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months,
at intervals of three months thereafter or (iii) the Termination Date (or, in
the case of Term Loans, the Term-Out Maturity Date).

     “Euro-Dollar Margin” applicable to any Euro-Dollar Loan outstanding on any
day, subject to paragraph (c) of this Section, means: (A) if Usage on such day
is less than or equal to 33%:

		
	 	     (i) if such day falls within a Level I Period, then 0.420%;

		
	 	     (ii) if such day falls within a Level II Period, then 0.525%;
	 
	 	     (iii) if such day falls within a Level III Period, then 0.750%;
	 
	 	     (iv) if such day falls within a Level IV Period, then 0.850%;
	 
	 	     (v) if such day falls within a Level V Period, then 1.150%;

	 	     (iv) if such day falls within a Level IV Period, then 1.100%;
	 
	 	     (v) if such day falls within a Level V Period, then 1.400%;
	 
	 	     (vi) if such day falls within a Level VI Period, then 1.700%; and
	 
	 	     (vii) if such day falls within a Level VII Period, then 2.250%.

     The “London Interbank Offered Rate” applicable to any Interest Period
means the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/32 of
1%) appearing on the Moneyline Telerate Screen page 3750 (or any successor
page) as the London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars at
11:00 A.M. (London time) two Euro-Dollar Business Days before the first day of
such Interest Period for a period equal to such Interest Period; provided that,
if for any reason such rate is not available, the term “London Interbank
Offered Rate” applicable to any Interest Period shall mean the rate per annum
(rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/32 of 1%) appearing on Reuters
Screen LIBO Page (or any successor page) as the London interbank offered rate
for deposits in U.S. dollars at approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) two
Euro-Dollar Business Days before the first day of such Interest Period for a
period equal to such Interest Period; provided, however, if more than one rate
is specified on Reuters Screen LIBO Page (or any successor page), the
applicable rate shall be the arithmetic mean of all such rates.

     (c)  After the Termination Date, the Base Rate Margin or Euro-Dollar Margin
applicable to any Term Loan shall be increased by 0.250%.

     (d) Any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue
interest on any Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for
each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding
the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the
Euro-Dollar Margin plus the higher of (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate
applicable to such Loan and (ii) the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to
the next higher 1/100 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum at which one day
(or, if such amount due remains unpaid more than three Euro-Dollar Business
Days, then for such other period of time not longer than three months as the
Agent may select) deposits in dollars in an amount approximately equal to such
overdue payment due to the Agent are offered to the Agent in the London
interbank market for the applicable period determined as provided above (or, if
the circumstances described in Section 8.01 shall exist, at a rate per annum
equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate Margin plus the Base Rate for such
day).

 

Table of Contents

22

     (e)  Subject to clause (y) of Section 8.01, each Money Market LIBOR Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the
Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the
London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period plus (or minus) the
Money Market Margin quoted by the Lender making such Loan in accordance with
Section 2.03. Each Money Market Absolute Rate Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable
thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Money Market Absolute Rate quoted by
the Lender making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03. Such interest
shall be payable for each Interest Period on the earlier of (i) the last day
thereof, (ii) three months after the initial date thereof and, if such Interest
Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months thereafter or
(iii) the Termination Date. Any overdue principal of and, to the extent
permitted by law, overdue interest on any Money Market Loan shall bear
interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal
to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate Margin plus the Base Rate for such day.

     (f)  The Agent shall determine (in accordance with this Agreement) each
interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Agent shall give prompt
notice to the Borrower by telecopy and the participating Lenders by telex,
cable or telecopy of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination
thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

     SECTION 2.10. Fees. (a) Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the
Agent for the account of the Lenders, ratably in proportion to their
Commitments (or, if the Commitments have terminated, ratably in proportion to
their outstanding Loans), a facility fee at the rate of (i) 0.080% per annum
during each Level I Period, (ii) 0.100% per annum during each Level II Period,
(iii) 0.125% per annum during each Level III Period, (iv) 0.150% per annum
during each Level IV Period, (v) 0.225% per annum during each Level V Period,
(vi) 0.300% during each Level VI Period and (vii) 0.500% during each Level VII
Period. Such facility fee shall accrue (i) from and including the Effective
Date to but excluding the last day of the Revolving Credit Period, in each
case, on the daily average aggregate amount of the Commitments (whether used or
unused) and (ii) if any Loans remain outstanding after the Revolving Credit
Period (including any Term Loans), from and including the last day of the
Revolving Credit Period to but excluding the date such Loans shall be repaid in
full, on the daily average aggregate outstanding principal amount of such
Loans.

     (b)  Payments. Except as otherwise indicated, accrued facility fees under
this Section 2.10 shall be payable quarterly in arrears on (i) each Quarterly
Date, (ii) the Termination Date and (iii) if any Loans remain outstanding after
the Revolving Credit Period, the date such Loans shall be repaid in full;
provided that accrued facility fees on outstanding Term Loans shall constitute
additional interest on such Loans and shall be payable at the times that
accrued interest thereon is payable under this Agreement.

     SECTION 2.11. Method of Electing Interest Rates. (a) The Loans included
in each Committed Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate
specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Committed Borrowing.
Thereafter,

 

Table of Contents

23

the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of
interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject in each case to the
provisions of Article VIII), as follows:

		
	 	     (i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to
convert such Loans to Euro-Dollar Loans as of any Euro-Dollar Business
Day; and

		
	 	     (ii) if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower may (x) elect
to convert such Euro-Dollar Loans to Base Rate Loans as of any Domestic
Business Day, (y) elect to convert such Euro-Dollar Loans to Euro-Dollar
Loans with an Interest Period different from the then current Interest
Period applicable to such Loans as of any Euro-Dollar Business Day or (z)
elect to continue such Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional
Interest Period beginning on the last day of the then current Interest
Period applicable to such Loans;

provided that, if the Borrower elects to convert any Euro-Dollar Loans to Base
Rate Loans or to Euro-Dollar Loans with a different Interest Period, as of any
day other than the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to
such Loans, the Borrower shall reimburse each Lender in accordance with Section
2.14.

     Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of
Interest Rate Election”) to the Agent (i) at least one Domestic Business Day
before such notice is to be effective if the relevant Loans are to be converted
into Base Rate Loans or (ii) at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days before
such conversion or continuation is to be effective if such Loans are to be
converted into, or continued as, Euro-Dollar Loans.

     A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only
a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans;
provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising
such Group and (ii) the portion to which such Notice applies, and the remaining
portion to which it does not apply, are each $15,000,000 or any larger multiple
of $1,000,000.

     (b)  Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

		
	 	     (i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice
applies;

		
	 	     (ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in
such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable
clause of subsection (a) above;

		
	 	     (iii) whether such Group of Loans (or portion thereof) is to be
converted to Base Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans or continued as
Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period; and

		
	 	     (iv) if such Loans (or portions thereof) are to be converted to or
continued as Euro-Dollar Loans, the duration of the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto immediately after such conversion or continuation.

 

Table of Contents

24

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall
comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

     (c)  Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower
pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender
of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by
the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest
Rate Election to the Agent for any Euro-Dollar Loans, such Loans shall be
converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest
Period applicable thereto.

     SECTION 2.12. Prepayments. (a) The Borrower may (i) upon notice to the
Agent to be received no later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time), prepay the
Base Rate Loans (or any Money Market LIBOR Loans which bear interest at the
Base Rate at such time for the reason stated in Section 8.01), in whole or in
part, on any Domestic Business Day and (ii) upon at least two Euro-Dollar
Business Days’ notice to the Agent, prepay any Euro-Dollar Loan, in whole or in
part, in amounts aggregating $15,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000,
by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest
thereon to the date of prepayment; provided that a Money Market Loan may not be
prepaid without the prior written consent of the Lender that holds such Money
Market Loan, other than as contemplated by clause (i) above. Each such
optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the relevant Loans of
the several Lenders. Prepayment of a Euro-Dollar Loan on any day other than
the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to
Section 2.14.

     (b)  Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.12,
the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such
Lender’s ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not
thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

     SECTION 2.13. General Provisions as to Payments. (a) The Borrower shall
make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees
hereunder, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date when due,
in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Agent
at its address referred to in its Administrative Questionnaire, without set-off
or counterclaim. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable
share of each such payment received by the Agent for the account of the
Lenders. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Base Rate
Loans or fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the
date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic
Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the
Euro-Dollar Loans and Money Market LIBOR Loans shall be due on a day which is
not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended
to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar
Business Day falls in another calendar month or falls after the Termination
Date (or, in the case of Term Loans, the Term-Out Maturity Date), in which case
the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar Business
Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Money Market
Absolute Rate Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business
Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next

 

Table of Contents

25

succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of
principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall
be payable for such extended time.

     (b)  Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to
the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower
will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has
made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such
due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the
extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Lender shall
repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the
Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

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

     SECTION 2.14. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of
principal with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan or any Fixed Rate Loan is
converted to a Base Rate Loan (pursuant to Section 2.11, Section 2.12, Article
VI or Article VIII) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto or the end of an applicable period fixed pursuant to Section
2.09(d), or if any Lender assigns any Fixed Rate Loan as required by Section
8.06 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto, or if the Borrower fails to borrow or prepay any Fixed Rate Loan after
notice has been given to any Lender in accordance with Section 2.04(a) or
Section 2.12, the Borrower shall reimburse each Lender within 15 days after
demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or
prospective Participant

 

Table of Contents

26

in the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss reasonably
incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties,
but excluding loss of margin for the period after such payment or conversion or
assignment or failure to borrow or prepay; provided that such Lender shall have
delivered to the Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or
expense with an explanation of the calculation of such loss or expense, which
certificate shall be conclusive if made reasonably and in good faith.

     SECTION 2.15. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on the
Prime Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or
366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and
facility fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days
and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).

     SECTION 2.16. Regulation D Compensation. For each day for which a Lender
is required to maintain reserves in respect of either (x) “Eurocurrency
Liabilities” (as defined in all regulations of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System) or (y) any other category of liabilities which includes
deposits by reference to which the interest rate in Euro-Dollar Loans is
determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which
includes loans by a non-United States office of any Lender to United States
residents, such Lender may require the Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with
each payment of interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans, additional interest on the
related Euro-Dollar Loan of such Lender at a rate per annum determined by such
Lender up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the applicable London
Interbank Offered Rate divided by (B) one minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve
Percentage over (ii) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate. Any Lender
wishing to require payment of such additional interest (x) shall so notify the
Borrower and the Agent, in which case such additional interest on the
Euro-Dollar Loans of such Lender shall be payable to such Lender at the place
indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at
least five Euro-Dollar Business Days after the giving of such notice and (y)
shall notify the Borrower at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days prior to each
date on which interest is payable on the Euro-Dollar Loans of the amount then
due to such Lender under this Section. Such Lender’s notice to the Borrower
shall set forth its calculation of such additional interest and such
calculation shall be conclusive if made reasonably and in good faith.

     SECTION 2.17. Term-Out Option. The Borrower may, upon written notice to
the Agent on a date that is prior to the Termination Date, elect that all
Committed Loans outstanding on the Termination Date remain outstanding after
the Termination Date as Term Loans maturing on the Term-Out Maturity Date;
provided that any such election shall be subject to the satisfaction, on the
Termination Date, of the conditions set forth in clauses (b) and (d) of Section
3.02 (as though a Borrowing were being made on such date) and to the receipt by
the Agent on the Termination Date of a certificate to that effect dated such
date and executed by a Responsible Financial Officer of the Borrower. The
Agent will notify the Lenders of such election promptly following receipt by
the Agent of any such notice. Notwithstanding any such election, all

 

Table of Contents

27

Commitments will terminate on the Termination Date, and additional
Borrowings will not be permitted after the Termination Date. This Section 2.17
shall not apply to Money Market Loans, which must be repaid on or prior to the
Termination Date. After the Termination Date, any Term Loans outstanding as a
result of the exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall
continue to constitute “Loans” and “Committed Loans” for all purposes of this
Agreement.

fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the
Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan and is not in violation of the

others).

     SECTION 4.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Borrower
and its Consolidated Subsidiaries has complied in all material respects with

Agent or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement (in
each case taken as a whole with all other information so furnished) contained,
as of the time it was furnished, any material misstatement of fact or omitted
as of such time to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein taken as a whole not misleading, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made; provided that with respect to information
consisting of statements, estimates and projections regarding the future
performance of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, the Borrower
represents only that such information has been prepared in good faith based
upon assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time of
preparation thereof.

compliance therewith is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings; provided, however, that with respect to compliance with ERISA,

Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Agent hereunder.

     SECTION 7.03. Action by Agent. The obligations of the Agent hereunder are

foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to

(which may be a bank wire, telex or similar writing) reasonably believed by it
to be genuine and to be signed by the proper party or parties.

     SECTION 7.06. Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance

action, loss or liability (except such as result from the Agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct) that the Agent may suffer or incur in
connection with this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent
hereunder.

     SECTION 7.07. Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,

Agent approved by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders, and approved by the Borrower and shall have accepted such appointment

retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which
shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United
States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and
surplus of at least two billion dollars. Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the
retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as

period or that the London Interbank Offered Rate cannot be determined in
accordance with the definition thereof, the Agent shall forthwith give notice
thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Agent notifies the
Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist,
(i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Euro-Dollar Loans, to convert
outstanding Base Rate Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans or to convert outstanding
Euro-Dollar Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans with a different Interest Period shall
be suspended, (ii) each outstanding Euro-Dollar Loan or Money Market LIBOR
Loan, as the case may be, shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last
day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, and (iii) unless
the Borrower notifies the Agent at least two Domestic Business Days before the
date of any Euro-Dollar Borrowing or Money Market LIBOR Borrowing, as the case
may be, for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it
elects not to borrow on such date, (x) if such Borrowing is a Euro-Dollar
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing and
(y) if such Borrowing is a Money Market LIBOR Borrowing, the Money Market LIBOR
Loans comprising such Borrowing shall bear interest for each day from and
including the first day to but excluding the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto at the Base Rate for such day.

     SECTION 8.02. Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, 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 authority,
central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any
Lender (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its
Euro-Dollar Loans and such Lender shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall
forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon
until such Lender notifies the Borrower and the Agent that the circumstances
giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender
to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to convert outstanding Base Rate Loans into
Euro-Dollar Loans, or to convert outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans into Euro-Dollar
Loans with a different Interest Period shall be suspended. Before giving any
notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section 8.02, such Lender shall designate
a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need
for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such notice is given, all
Euro-Dollar Loans of such Lender then outstanding shall be converted to Base
Rate Loans either (a) on the last day of the then current Interest Period
applicable to such Euro-Dollar

Loans if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loans
to such day or (b) immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to
maintain and fund such Loans to such day.

     SECTION 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If 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, made or adopted after the date hereof (other than a change
currently provided for in any existing law, rule or regulation) shall impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, insurance assessment or
similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement
imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding,
with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan, any such requirement with respect to
which such Lender is entitled to compensation during the relevant Interest
Period under Section 2.16) against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or
shall impose on any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the United
States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any
other condition affecting its Fixed Rate Loans (other than Money Market
Absolute Rate Loans), its Note (in respect of such Fixed Rate Loans) or its
obligation to make such Fixed Rate Loans; and the result of any of the
foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending
Office) of making or maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount
of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending
Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an
amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days
after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay
to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
for such increased cost or reduction.

     (b)  If any Lender shall have determined that any applicable law, rule or
regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such 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 any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, made or adopted
after the date hereof (other than a change currently provided for in any
existing law, rule or regulation), has or would have the effect of increasing
the amount of capital of such Lender (or its parent) required to be maintained
in respect of, or otherwise allocated to, such Lender’s obligations hereunder
(its “Required Capital”) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be
material, then such Lender may, by notice to the Borrower and the Agent,
increase the facility fee payable to such Lender hereunder to the extent
required so that the ratio of (w) the sum of the increased facility fee
applicable to such Lender’s Commitment or Loans hereunder to (x) the prior
facility fee applicable to such Lender’s Commitment or Loans hereunder is the
same as the ratio of (y) such Lender’s increased Required Capital to (z) its
prior

 

Table of Contents

41

Required Capital. Such Lender’s notice to the Borrower and the Agent
shall set forth its calculation of the foregoing ratios and the increased
facility fee to which it is entitled under this Section.

     (c)  Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the 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 (each, a “Trigger
Event”) 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 disadvantageous to
such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no Lender
shall be entitled to any compensation pursuant to this Section in respect of
any Trigger Event (i) for any period of time in excess of 120 days prior to
such notice or (ii) for any period of time prior to such notice if such Lender
shall not have given such notice within 120 days of the date on which such
Trigger Event shall have been enacted, promulgated, adopted or issued in
definitive or final form unless such Trigger Event is retroactive. A
certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under Section 8.03(a) or (b)
and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder
and describing the method of calculation thereof shall be conclusive if made
reasonably and in good faith. In determining such amount, such Lender may use
any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

     SECTION 8.04. Taxes. (a) For purposes of this Section 8.04, the
following terms have the following meanings:

     “Taxes” means any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings with respect to any payment by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or under any Note, and all liabilities with
respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes
imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by a
jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may
be) is organized or in which its principal executive office is located or, in
the case of each Lender, in which its Applicable Lending Office is located and
(ii) in the case of each Lender, any United States withholding tax imposed on
such payments but (x) only to the extent that such Lender is subject to United
States withholding tax at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this
Agreement and (y) if the Lender is an assignee pursuant to Section 9.05, only
to the extent of the amount of United States withholding tax in excess of the
amount that would not have been excluded pursuant to (x) had the assignment not
been made.

     “Other Taxes” means any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and
any other excise or property taxes, or similar charges or levies, which arise
from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement or under any Note or from the
execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any
Note.

     (b)  Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any
Lender or the Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made without deduction
for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower shall be required
by law to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from any such payments, (i) the sum
payable shall be

 

Table of Contents

42

increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
8.04) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the
Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the
Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified
copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

     (c)  The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Agent for the
full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under
this Section 8.04) paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and
any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses, except to the extent
attributable to the negligence or misconduct of such Lender or the Agent, as
the case may be) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This
indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date such Lender or the
Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

     (d)  Each Lender that is a banking institution organized under the laws of
a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its
execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each such 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, shall provide the Borrower with (i)
two Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) forms W-8BEN or any successor form
prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits
under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which exempts
such Lender from United States withholding tax or reduces the rate of
withholding tax on payments of interest and eliminates withholding tax on any
fees, or (ii) two IRS forms W-8ECI certifying that the income receivable
pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade
or business in the United States. In the case of a Lender which is claiming
exception from United States withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of
the Internal Revenue Code, with respect to payments of portfolio interest, such
Lender shall provide the Borrower with (i) two IRS forms W-8BEN and (ii) a
certificate representing that such Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code. Each such Lender undertakes to
deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent (A) a replacement form (or
successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes
obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most
recent form so delivered by it, and (B) such amendments thereto or extensions
or renewals thereof as may reasonably be required (but only so long as such
Lender remains lawfully able to do so).

     (e)  For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide
the Borrower with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.04(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 8.04(b) or Section
8.04(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that if a
Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of
withholding tax, becomes subject to Taxes because of its

 

Table of Contents

43

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)  Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any
event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will
entitle such Lender to make any claim for indemnification in respect of Taxes
or Other Taxes pursuant to this Section 8.04 (each, a “Tax Event”) and will
designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid
the need for, or reduce the amount of, such claim or any other amounts payable
by the Borrower under this Section 8.04 and will not, in the judgment of such
Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Section, no Lender shall be entitled to any indemnification
pursuant to this Section in respect of any Tax Event (i) for any period of time
in excess of 180 days prior to such notice or (ii) for any period of time prior
to such notice if such Lender shall not have given such notice within 120 days
of the date on which such Lender became aware of such Tax Event unless such Tax
Event is retroactive.

     SECTION 8.05. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar Loans.
If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain Euro-Dollar Loans has
been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Lender has demanded
compensation under Section 8.03(a) and the Borrower shall, by at least five
Euro-Dollar Business Days prior notice to such Lender through the Agent, have
elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Lender, then,
unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer apply:

		
	 	     (a) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as (or
continued as or converted into) Euro-Dollar Loans shall instead be Base
Rate Loans, and

		
	 	     (b) after each of its outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans has been repaid
(or converted to a Base Rate Loan), all payments of principal which would
otherwise be applied to repay such Euro-Dollar Loans shall be applied to
repay its Base Rate Loans instead.

If such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
notice no longer apply, the Borrower shall elect that the principal amount of
each such Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan on the
first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related
Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Lenders.

     SECTION 8.06. Substitution of Lender. If (i) the obligation of any Lender
to make Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii)
any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04, the Borrower
shall have the right to seek a substitute bank or banks (“Substitute Lenders”)
(which may be one or more of the Lenders) to purchase the Loans and assume the
Commitment of such Lender (the “Affected Lender”) under this Agreement and, if
the Borrower locates a Substitute Lender, the Affected Lender shall, upon
payment to it of the purchase price agreed

 

Table of Contents

44

between it and the Substitute Lender (or, failing such agreement, a
purchase price in the amount of the outstanding principal amount of its Loans
and accrued interest thereon to the date of payment) plus any amount (other
than principal and interest) then due to it or accrued for its account
hereunder, assign all its rights and obligations under this Agreement and all
of its Notes to the Substitute Lender, and the Substitute Lender shall assume
such rights and obligations, whereupon the Substitute Lender shall be a Lender
party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a
Lender.

     SECTION 8.07. Election to Terminate. If during any Level I Period, Level
II Period or Level III Period (i) the obligation of any Lender to make
Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any
Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04, the Borrower may
elect to terminate this Agreement as to such Lender, and in connection
therewith not to borrow any Loan hereunder from such Lender or to prepay any
Base Rate Loan made pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.05 (without altering the
Commitments or Loans of the remaining Lenders); provided that the Borrower (i)
notifies such Lender through the Agent of such election at least two
Euro-Dollar Business Days before any date fixed for such borrowing or such a
prepayment, as the case may be, and (ii) repays all of such Lender’s
outstanding Loans, accrued interest thereon and any other amounts then due to
such Lender or accrued for its account hereunder concurrently with such
termination. Upon receipt by the Agent of such notice, the Commitment of such
Lender shall terminate.

ARTICLE IX

Miscellaneous

     SECTION 9.01. Notices. (a) Subject to paragraph (b) below, all notices,
requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing

its address or telex or telecopy number set forth on the signature pages
hereof, (y) in the case of any Lender, at its address, telex or telecopy number
set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or (z) in the case of any party,

specify for the purpose by notice to the Agent and the Borrower. All notices
from outside the United States to the Borrower shall only be given by telecopy
and all other notices to the Borrower given by telex shall also be given by
telecopy or non-telex method. Each such notice, request or other communication
shall be effective (i) if given by telex or telecopy, when such telex or
telecopy is transmitted to the number determined pursuant to this Section and
the appropriate answerback is received, (ii) if given by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, when such return receipt is signed by

the location where received, on the next business day in such location;
provided that notices to the Agent under Article II or Article VIII shall not

     (b)  Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder (including,
without limitation, the delivery of information required by Section 5.01) may
be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures
approved by the Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices
pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Agent and the applicable
Lender. The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept
notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications
pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such
procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

     (c)  Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into
law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name
and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender
to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. The Borrower hereby
agrees to cooperate with each Lender to provide such information promptly
following a request therefor from such Lender.

     SECTION 9.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Agent or any Lender
in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall
operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

     SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i)
all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, including reasonable fees and
disbursements of special counsel for the Agent, in connection with the
preparation and administration of this Agreement, any waiver or consent
hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder
and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Agent or any Lender, including fees and disbursements of counsel, in
connection with such Event of Default and collection and other enforcement
proceedings resulting therefrom.

     (b)  The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent, each Lender and each of
their respective Affiliates, and the directors, officers, employees, agents and
advisors of each of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnitee”) and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, losses,
damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by any
Indemnitee relating to or arising out of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement or the performance of the parties hereto of their respective
obligations hereunder or (ii) any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans
hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified
hereunder for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)

 

Table of Contents

46

arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any
Loan or the use of proceeds thereof.

     SECTION 9.04. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or
the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is
in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (and, if the
rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby, by the Agent); provided
that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by each Lender directly
affected thereby, (i) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Lender or
subject any Lender to any additional obligation, (ii) reduce or forgive the
principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or (iii)
postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan
or any fees hereunder or for any reduction or termination of any Commitment;
provided further that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all
the Lenders, amend this Section or otherwise change the percentage of the
Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the
number of Lenders, which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to
take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement.

     SECTION 9.05. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the
Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and
void), except as contemplated by Section 5.06. Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

     (b)  Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in
the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, each of the
Borrower and the Agent must give their prior written consent to such assignment
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, it being understood that it
shall, for example, be reasonable for the Borrower to withhold consent if the
proposed assignee does not have an investment grade rating), (ii) except in the
case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment
of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment (or, if the
Commitments have terminated, the entire amount of its outstanding Loans), the
amount of the Commitment (or, if the Commitments have terminated, the amount of
the outstanding Loans) of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless
each of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent, (iii) each partial
assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that
this clause (iii) shall not apply to rights in respect of outstanding Money
Market Loans, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall

 

Table of Contents

47

execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together
with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except that such fee shall not
be payable in the case of an assignment by a Lender to one of its Affiliates or
to another Lender), and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall
deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and provided further that
any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not
be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (g) or (h) of Section
6.01 has occurred and is continuing. Subject to acceptance and recording
thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall
be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 8.03, 8.05 and 9.03). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section.

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

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

     (e)  Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all
or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);
provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and

 

Table of Contents

48

(iii)  the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to
which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall
retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver
described in the first proviso to Section 9.04 that affects such Participant.
Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 8.03 and
8.04 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

     (f)  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 8.03 or 8.04 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 or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03 or
8.04 requiring such Lender to designate a different Applicable Lending Office
under certain circumstances.

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

     SECTION 9.06. New York Law. This Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

     SECTION 9.07. Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be signed in
any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same
effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
telecopy or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of
a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes
any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to
the subject matter hereof.

     SECTION 9.08. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND
