INTERCONNECTION FACILITIES LICENSE AGREEMENT

 

This
INTERCONNECTION FACILITIES LICENSE AGREEMENT
(“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 14, 2007 (“Effective
Date”) by and between COLO PROPERTIES ATLANTA,
LLC., a Delaware Limited Liability Company (hereinafter “Licensor”),
with its corporate headquarters at 17 State Street, 33rd Floor New York, NY 10004, and SECURITY ASSOCIATES INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware
corporation, (hereinafter “Customer”), with its corporate headquarters
located at 2101 S. Arlington Heights Road, Arlington Heights, IL 60005.

 

Introductory

 

(a)                               Licensor owns
that certain commercial building commonly known as 56 Marietta Street, Atlanta,
Georgia, USA and operates an Interconnection Facility therein known as the
Meet-Me-Room (collectively described herein as the “Premises”), for
the placement, operation and interconnection of communications and information
technology equipment.

 

(b)                              Customer has requested
that Licensor allow it access to a portion of the Premises for the purposes of
locating certain communications and information technology equipment, cabling
and other related activities in such designated portion of the Premises, as
identified on Exhibit A (the “Licensed
Area”).

 

(c)                               Licensor is
willing to provide specified services to Customer in the form of (i) a
grant to Customer of a revocable license for the non-exclusive access to and
use of the Licensed Area;  (ii) non-exclusive
access to the Premises for ingress and egress to and from the Licensed
Area;  (iii) the provision of other
specified support services, all on the terms and conditions set forth herein,
on the Master Service Order (“MSO”, attached as Exhibit B) and as
may be supplemented or modified by Customer Service Orders (“CSO”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants,
promises and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Licensor and Customer, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1.                                    Grant
of License; General Terms of Use

1.1                                  License
Grant.  Licensor hereby grants to
Customer, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, a revocable non-exclusive license (the “License”) for access
to and use of the Licensed Area for the installation and operation of
customer-provided communications and information technology equipment and
cabling (the “Equipment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer
acknowledges that other customers and tenants of the Premises will be using the
Meet-Me-Room and some of the Meet-Me-Room facilities; and that
Licensor reserves the right to install and maintain conduits, cables and wiring
along and adjacent to the ceiling above the Licensed Area and, in the case of
raised flooring, the floor below the Licensed Area.

 

1.2                                  Access to Premises and Licensed
Area.  During the period of
existence of the License, provided that Customer shall not be in material breach
or default hereunder and is otherwise current in payments of all fees and
charges then due Licensor, those individuals specifically identified by name on
Exhibit C attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference (the “Permitted Access List”) shall
have access to the Licensed Area twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days
per week. The persons on the Permitted Access List (the “Authorized
Personnel”) shall be employees, agents, or contractors of Customer (and if
contractors they must be approved in advance by Licensor, such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  The Authorized Personnel may enter the
Premises only for purposes of ingress to and egress from the Licensed Area to
perform work or services permitted by this Agreement.  No representatives, agents, employees or
invitees of Customer other than the Authorized Personnel shall have the right
to enter the Premises.  Authorized Personnel
must carry a photo-identification credential for presentation to Licensor or
Licensor’s agents, employees or representatives when entering the
Premises.  Upon written notice to
Licensor, Customer may amend the Permitted Access List; provided, however, in
no event may the Permitted Access List identify more than five (5) individuals.  In no event shall Customer or any agent,
representative, contractor or invitee of Customer, including without
limitation, Authorized Personnel, have the right to access any portion of the
Premises, other than those corridors, hallways,

doorways
and elevators designated by Licensor for access to the Licensed Area.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor
shall have the right to refuse access to the Premises and Licensed Area to
anyone in its reasonable sole discretion if it determines that such person
presents a hazard or security threat to Licensor or its other Customers.

 

1.3                                  Equipment-Installation/Removal.   Any delivery, installation,
replacement or removal work with respect to Customer’s Equipment shall be
subject to review and approval by Licensor. Customer may be required to utilize
certain suppliers or contractors which have been previously identified by the
Licensor as authorized to perform work on the Premises.  As a condition to granting or continuing the
License, Licensor may, from time to time, request information from Customer
regarding its Equipment, systems, proposed rack/cabinet layout and
interconnections/cross-connect diagrams, suppliers or contractors and may
require scheduling changes and substitution of suppliers and contractors as
conditions of its approval, all of which may be set forth in the Customer or
Master Service Order.  Approval by
Licensor is not an endorsement of Customer’s supplier or contractor, and
Customer will remain solely responsible for the selection of the supplier or
contractor and all payments for construction work. Customer shall not make, or
cause to be made, any construction changes or material alterations to the interior
or exterior portions of the Premises or Licensed Area, including any cabling or
power supplies for the Equipment, without obtaining Licensor’s written approval
for Customer to have the work performed and otherwise complying with the terms
of this Agreement; or have Licensor perform the work.  Licensor reserves the right to perform and
manage any construction or material alterations within the Premises or Licensed
Area at commonly reasonable rates. Customer agrees that, upon the expiration or
termination of the License, Customer (or, at Licensor’s election, the
contractor designated by Licensor) shall promptly remove, at Customer’s sole
cost and expense, all cable, wiring, connecting lines, and other installations,
equipment or property installed or placed by or for Customer in the Premises
(except the Meet Me Area, which shall be removed by Licensor), and restore
those portions of the Premises damaged by such removal to their condition
immediately prior to the installation or placement of such items.  If Customer fails to promptly remove all such
items pursuant to this Section 1.3, or if Licensor elects to have such
work performed by Licensor’s contractor, Licensor may remove such items and
restore those portions of the Premises damaged by such removal to their
condition immediately prior to the installation or placement of such items, in
which case Customer agrees promptly to pay Licensor’s reasonable costs of
removal and restoration.

 

1.4                           Cross-Connections.  Only upon the prior express written consent
of Licensor may Customer cross-connect its Equipment with equipment or services
of any other Customer or Tenant of Licensor, including any
sub-Tenant/sub-licensee within the Premises. 
Failure to obtain the prior written consent of Licensor shall constitute
a material breach of this Agreement and Licensor may pursue any legal or
equitable remedy available to it, including immediate removal of such
impermissible cross-connects and/or the immediate termination or suspension of
the License granted by this Agreement without any liability.  All installation and other work relating to
the establishment of cross-connections with any party for which Licensor gives
explicit written permission shall be established under the control and
direction of Licensor and shall be carried out in the Meet-Me-Area, as depicted
on Exhibit A.

 

1.5                               Licensed
Area Relocation.  Licensor
shall not arbitrarily or discriminatorily require Customer to relocate the
Equipment to a relocated Licensed Area; however, Licensor shall have the right
to relocate the License Area within the Premises upon thirty (30) days advance
written notice to Customer or, in the event of an emergency, as determined by
Licensor in its sole discretion, with such notice as Licensor may deem
reasonable under the circumstances.

 

1.6                               Compliance
with Laws, Facility Rules & Regulations.  Each party, at such party’s
sole cost and expense, shall comply with (a) all laws, ordinances, orders,
rules and regulations of state, federal, municipal or other agencies or
bodies having jurisdiction relating to its specific use or manner of use or
ownership, as applicable of the Premises, and (b) all industry standards,
practices and procedures.  Customer’s use
of the Licensed Area, installation of Equipment and access to the Premises shall
at all times be subject to and conditioned upon the Facility Rules and
Safety Specifications for the Premises and Licensed Area (“Facility Rules”)
annexed hereto as Exhibit D
and as may be posted at the Premises. 
Such Facility Rules may be amended or updated from time to time
with reasonable notice to Customer.

1.7                               Inspections.  Licensor may conduct
inspections of the Equipment and Licensed Area as Licensor deems necessary or
appropriate.  For routine inspections,
Licensor will attempt to give Customer reasonable notice of such inspection,
but under no circumstances will Licensor be required to notify Customer or
obtain Customer’s consent before entering the Licensed Area.

 

2.0                              Commencement
Procedures;  Fees and Charges; Security
Deposit.

2.1                              Commencement
Procedures.  The following
procedures apply to the Customer in connection with the initial set-up and
installation of the Equipment provided for in this Agreement and the related
Master Service Order.  Customer,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the MSO, shall be
permitted  to commence occupying the Licensed
Area, provided the Customer has returned to Licensor: 1) the executed MSO, 2)
first month’s Recurring Fee, 3) Security Deposit Amount, 4) executed Agreement,
5) executed Facility Rules, 6) acceptable certificate of insurance (as required
by Section 10 hereof), and 7) such other information and documents
as are required by this Agreement and the MSO.  In the event the Customer has not
completed (or reached, in the sole reasonable determination of Licensor
substantial completion of) occupancy of the Licensed Area within thirty (30)
days following the Effective Date (or such other date as may be designated in
the MSO as the “Start Date”), then Licensor may, in its sole discretion either (i) require
of Customer additional assurances as to a projected occupancy date (which
reasonable assurances may include Customer providing Licensor an additional
amount of Security Deposit), (ii) designate another Licensed Area for the
Customer, or (iii) elect by written notice to the Customer to revoke the
applicable License, and thereby Customer shall be required to promptly vacate
the originally designated Licensed Area, at Customer’s expense.

 

2.2                              Recurring
and Non-Recurring Fees and Charges.  Customer shall pay Licensor in advance
monthly recurring fees (the “Recurring Fees”) which shall include,
without limitation: charges for use and occupancy of the Licensed Area (the “License
Fees”) and Recurring Additional Power Charges (as defined below), if
applicable, all as quantified in the MSO. In addition to any Recurring Fees,
Customer shall be charged “Non-Recurring Fees” for build-out (if any) of the
Licensed Area in connection with any Customer-requested improvements or special
construction within the License Area, any cross-connect and/or rack
installation, labor and material charges for maintenance and Technical
Services, and any Non-Recurring Power Charges (defined below) as applicable,
all as set forth in the relevant MSO or CSO. 
Additionally, Customer will be charged for the use of the technical
support team at the hourly rate, and in such increments, that are in effect at
the time of the provision of service.  In
addition to the fees described above, Customer agrees to reimburse Licensor,
within 30 days after billing, for Customer’s prorata share, as reasonably
calculated by Licensor, of any reasonable out of pocket costs incurred by
Licensor for maintenance and repair of the Premises and of any governmental
fees, taxes, tariffs, or other charges imposed on Licensor due to the
installation, operation, maintenance, use or licensing of the Premises to
Customer including but not limited to any City business taxes or like charges.
All of the foregoing fees are sometimes referred to herein as “Fees and Charges”.  All Customer payments of Fees and Charges
shall be made without setoff against any claims or obligations which may arise
between Customer and Licensor under any other agreement or other contractual
arrangement.

 

2.3                              Taxes. Customer
agrees to pay or reimburse Licensor for any applicable taxes including those
levied based on the transactions hereunder, excluding only taxes on Licensor’s
income. Any such tax shall be invoiced and payable in accordance with the
payment terms of this Agreement. 
Licensor agrees to provide Customer with reasonable documentation to
support invoiced amounts for taxes within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt
of Customer’s written request.

 

2.4                               Invoices.  All payments from Customer for Recurring Fees
shall be due and payable on the first of the calendar month to which such
invoice relates (“Payment Date”). 
Any payments that remain unpaid five (5) days after the Payment
Date (“Late Fee Date”) shall be subject to a late fee equal to 10% of
the payment amount. Invoices for Non-Recurring Fees shall be sent to Customer
at the address indicated in the invoice and shall contain agreed-upon payment
terms.  All amounts are due in US dollars
and all fees associated with the transfer or collection of funds shall be the
responsibility of the Customer

2.5                               Adjustment
of Fees and Charges.  Except as may
be provided in the MSO or applicable CSO, all Recurring Fees shall be subject
to an annual increase of five percent (5%). Non-Recurring Fees and Additional
Power Charges shall be subject to change upon thirty (30) days’ prior written
notice to Customer.

 

2.6                               Security
Deposit.  Upon the signing and
delivery of this Agreement to Licensor, Customer shall deposit with Licensor as
security for performance of Customer’s obligations hereunder, cash, in an
amount equal to (a) one month’s projected Recurring Fees and (b) such
other amounts as may be specified in the MSO (the “Security Deposit”).  Licensor shall not be required to maintain
the Security Deposit in a separate account, and except as may be required by
law, Customer shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit.  In the event that Licensor shall transfer all
or any part of its interest in the Premises, Licensor may transfer the Security
Deposit to such transferee and shall thereupon be released by Customer from any
and all liability for the return of the Security Deposit and Customer agrees
thereafter to look only to such transferee for the return of the Security
Deposit. If Customer fails to pay any amount when due hereunder, then Licensor
may draw upon the Security Deposit in the amount of the payment due but not
made.  If Customer’s actual Recurring
Fees increase or Customer’s required monthly payments are received more than
five (5) days after the Payment Date for two (2) consecutive months,
Licensor, in addition to its other remedies hereunder, shall be entitled at its
sole discretion to increase the required Security Deposit and require, by
written notice, that the Customer provide such additional amount.  Within three (3) business days after
receipt of written notice of any deficiency in the amount of the Security
Deposit (either due to withdrawals by Licensor or an increase in the required
amount), Customer shall deposit with Licensor cash in an amount sufficient to
restore the Security Deposit to its original or required increased amount.  Customer’s failure to do so shall constitute
a material breach hereunder.  Within
forty-five (45) days after the later of (i) the expiration or earlier
termination of the Agreement, or (ii) Customer’s vacating the Premises,
and provided no default exists hereunder, Licensor shall return the Security
Deposit less any portion thereof as Licensor shall have used to satisfy
Customer’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

2.7                               Right
of First Refusal.  Licensor
hereby grants Customer a right of first refusal to license the Expansion Space
(as defined on Exhibit A).  Prior to
Licensor offering to license all or part of the Expansion Space to a third
party, Licensor shall first give Customer prior written notice of such desire
and the terms and other information under which Licensor intends to license the
Expansion Space.  Customer shall have the
option, which may be exercised by written notice to Licensor at any time within
ten (10) days after Customer’s receipt of Licensor’s notice, to agree to
lease the Expansion Space on the terms and condition specified in the
notice.  In the event Customer agrees to
license the Expansion Space, Licensor shall lease the Expansion Space to
Customer in accordance with the notice. In the event Customer fails to exercise
Customer’s option within said ten (10) days, Licensor shall have ninety
(90) days thereafter to license the Expansion Space.  In the event the Licensor fails to license
the Expansion Space to a third party within said ninety (90) day period or in
the event the Licensor proposes to license the Expansion Space to a third party
on materially more favorable terms than those proposed to Customer, Licensor
shall be required to resubmit such offer to Customer pursuant to the above
notice requirements.

 

3.                                    Term.  The License granted pursuant
to this Agreement for use of a Licensed Area shall be for a term of five (5) years,
commencing on the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”), and shall be
subject to the option set forth below and thereafter (or in the event such
option is not exercised) automatically renew for successive one year terms
(each, a “Renewal Term”), in each such case subject to earlier
termination or revocation for cause, as provided herein.  Customer shall have an option to renew the
License granted pursuant to this Agreement for a period of five (5) years
upon expiration of the Initial Term.  In
the event Customer elects to exercise such option, Customer must deliver
written notice thereof to Licensor no less than one hundred twenty (120) days
prior to expiration of the Initial Term and such five year period shall be
considered the first Renewal Term.  For
the purposes of this Agreement, “Term” shall refer to the Initial Term
or any Renewal Term, as applicable. 
During the Initial Term, Customer may effect elective termination or
revocation of the associated License(s) upon one hundred twenty (120) days
prior written notice.  Any such elective
termination shall require Customer to pay, by way of liquidated damages and not
a penalty, the aggregate monthly Recurring Fees otherwise due for the remainder
of the Initial Term (Licensor and Customer agreeing that Licensor’s actual
damages in such event are impossible to ascertain and that the

amount set forth above is a reasonable estimate
thereof).  Following the Initial Term,
either party may effect elective termination of any License, effective as of
the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, without payment of any
special termination fees, upon one hundred twenty (120) days prior written
notice to the non-terminating party.

 

4.           Interconnection Facility Services.

4.1        Licensor Services.  The following services are provided
by Licensor to Customer in addition to specific services described in any MSO
or CSO (collectively, “Interconnection Facility Services”).  Provided that the License granted hereby has
not otherwise been terminated, revoked or suspended, and provided further that
Customer is not in material breach or default in the performance of any of its
obligations under this Agreement, and is otherwise current in fulfilling its
payment obligations under this Agreement:

 

a.               Access. 
Licensor shall provide Customer access to the Premises and Licensed Area
consistent with Section 1.2 of this Agreement.  Owner shall
supply Tenant with five (5) swipe cards for the card key access
system.  Tenant may obtain additional swipe cards a fee of $25/per
additional swipe card.

 

b.              Power. 
Licensor shall provide DC power and/or AC power to the Licensed Area as per the
allotment specified in the MSO or applicable CSO (the “Allotted Power”). 
Power requirements in excess of the Allotted Power will be provided, subject to
availability, for additional one-time (“Non-Recurring Power Charges”) and
recurring charges (“Recurring Additional Power Charges”), as set forth
in the CSO. Licensor shall be responsible for repairing and maintaining the
electrical system of the Premises and shall provide a generator to back up the
power supply. Licensor makes no representation or warranty with respect to the
generator and shall be responsible for repairing and maintaining the generator
and for supplying fuel to the generator.

 

c.               Facility
Maintenance Services.  Licensor shall maintain the Premises (but
shall not have an obligation to maintain the Licensed Area) and shall provide
maintenance services in a professional workmanlike manner consistent with
telecommunications industry standards.

 

d.              Interconnection/Cross-Connect
Services.  Licensor shall provide interconnection and
cross-connect services (“Interconnection Services”) to facilitate
Customer needs of connectivity to other customers and carriers within the
Meet-Me-Room and Building, all at the pricing and rates provided in the
applicable CSO.  Unless otherwise agreed to by Licensor, all
Interconnection Services shall be performed in the Meet-Me-Area.  In the
event a conduit build is required, the terms and conditions for any conduit
build-outs extending connectivity to termination points outside of the Premises
or the Meet-Me-Area (e.g. to other carriers within the Building not in the
Meet-Me-Area) shall be on mutually agreed terms and shall be set forth on the
CSO.

Breach of Agreement; Revocation of License.     If (a) any payment due from

discretion,
upon written notice (“Default Notice”), to revoke or suspend (in whole
or in part) the revocable License granted hereby.

 

In addition to the foregoing, and without limiting
any other remedies of Licensor hereunder, or under applicable law or in equity,
in the event of Customer’s failure to cure any non-payment of fees and/or
charges described in the related Default Notice (“Payment Default Notice”),
then Licensor shall be entitled to immediately or at any time thereafter
terminate this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be deemed to have been
terminated upon receipt by Customer of written notice of such termination.  Upon such termination, Licensor shall be
entitled to recover from Customer all damages Licensor may suffer by reason of
such termination, all arrearages in Fees and Charges and other costs, charges,
assessments, and reimbursements, the cost (including, without limitation, court
costs and attorneys’ fees) of recovering possession of the Premises, and, in
addition thereto, Licensor may declare to be due and payable immediately, the
then present value (calculated with a discount factor of three percent 3% per
annum) of the entire amount of Fees and Charges and other charges and
assessments which in Licensor’s reasonable determination would become due and
payable during the remainder of the Term (in the absence of the termination of
this Agreement).   Upon the acceleration
of such amounts, Customer agrees to pay the same at once, in addition to all
Fees and Charges, costs, charges, assessments, and reimbursements theretofore
due; provided, however, that such payment shall not constitute a penalty or
forfeiture, but shall constitute liquidated damages for Customer’s failure to
comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement (Licensor and Customer
agreeing that Licensor’s actual damages in such event are impossible to
ascertain and that the amount set forth above is a reasonable estimate
thereof).

 

In addition to the foregoing, and without limiting any other remedies
of Licensor hereunder, or under applicable law or in equity, in the event of
Customer’s failure to cure any non-payment of fees and/or charges described in
the related Payment Default Notice, then Licensor shall be entitled to prevent
and otherwise take all commercially reasonable steps to restrict Customer’s
access to and/or removal of any Equipment from the affected Licensed Area (“Customer
Equipment Retention”).  Customer
Monthly Recurring Fees (including Additional Power Charges, to extent provision
of Electrical Power has not been suspended) shall continue to accrue and be
payable by Customer, notwithstanding Licensor exercise of available remedies
set forth in this Section 5. 
Licensor’s right to Customer Equipment Retention shall continue until
such time as Customer shall have paid in full all fees and charges due Licensor
under this Agreement.  In the event
Customer fails to pay in full all amounts due, and has not responded to the
Payment Default Notices within one hundred twenty (120) days of delivery
thereof, Licensor shall be entitled, in connection with any Customer Equipment
Retention, to treat such Equipment as having been abandoned, and Licensor shall
be entitled to retain ownership and possession of, and otherwise sell, transfer
and/or dispose of said Equipment, consistent with applicable law.

 

6.                                    Eminent
Domain.   In the event of a taking by eminent domain
of all or any portion of the Premises so as to prevent, in Licensor’s sole
reasonable judgment, the utilization by Customer of the Licensed Area, the
License shall terminate as of the date of such taking or conveyance with
respect to the Licensed Area which is affected by such taking or conveyance,
and the Recurring Fees to be paid by Customer shall be adjusted
accordingly.  Customer shall have no
claim against Licensor for the value of the unexpired Term of this Agreement or
the applicable MSO or CSO affected thereby (or any portion thereof) or any
claim or right to any portion of the amount that might be awarded to the
landlord of the Premises or Licensor as a result of any such payment for
condemnation or damages.

 

7.                                    Damage
to Premises.  If the Premises
are damaged by fire or other casualty, Licensor shall give notice to Customer
of such damage as quickly as practicable under the circumstances.   Licensor and Customer shall each have the
option to terminate the License due to damage or destruction of the Premises
and the License shall terminate as of the date of such exercise or decision as
to the affected Licensed Area, and the Recurring Fees to be paid by Customer
shall be adjusted accordingly.  If
Licensor and Customer do not exercise the right to terminate, then Licensor
shall restore the building and the Premises, to substantially the same
condition it was in prior to the damage, completing the same with reasonable
speed considering all of the facts and circumstances.  In no event shall Licensor have any
obligation to repair or replace Equipment.  
In the event that Licensor shall fail to complete the repair within a
reasonable time period under the circumstances, Customer shall thereupon have
the option to terminate the relevant License and applicable CSO’s with respect
to the affected Licensed Area, which option shall be the sole remedy available
to

Customer against Licensor
under this Agreement relating to such failure. 
If the Licensed Area or any portion thereof shall be rendered unusable
by reason of such damage, the Recurring Fees for such Licensed Area shall
proportionately abate, based on the amount of square footage of the Licensed
Area which is rendered unusable, for the period from the date of such damage to
the date when such damage shall have been repaired for the portion of the
Licensed Area rendered unusable.

 

8.                                    Limitation
of Liability; No Warranty.   In no event shall Licensor,
Customer, their respective members, managers, 
officers, directors, employees or representatives be liable for any
special, incidental, direct, indirect, punitive, reliance or consequential
damages, whether foreseeable or not.  The
Licensed Area is accepted “AS IS” by Customer. LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS AND
IMPLIED WARRANTIES RELATING TO THE PREMISES, AND THE PROVISION OF ALL
INTERCONNECTION SERVICES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

 

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY PROVIDED IN
THIS AGREEMENT, IT IS SPECIFICALLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED, SUCH AGREEMENT
BEING A PRIMARY CONSIDERATION FOR THE EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT BY LICENSOR,
THAT IF LICENSOR SHALL FAIL TO PERFORM ANY COVENANT, TERM OR CONDITION OF
THIS AGREEMENT UPON LICENSOR’S PART TO BE PERFORMED AND, AS A CONSEQUENCE
OF SUCH DEFAULT, CUSTOMER SHALL RECOVER A MONEY JUDGMENT AGAINST LICENSOR, SUCH
JUDGMENT SHALL BE SATISFIED ONLY OUT OF AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO LICENSOR’S EQUITY IN
THE PREMISES, AS THE SAME MAY THEN BE ENCUMBERED, AND NEITHER LICENSOR NOR
ANY OF ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR REPRESENTATIVES
SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DEFICIENCY.  IT
IS UNDERSTOOD THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL CUSTOMER HAVE ANY RIGHT TO LEVY EXECUTION
AGAINST ANY PROPERTY OF LICENSOR OTHER THAN ITS INTEREST IN THE PREMISES AS
HEREINBEFORE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED.  IN THE
EVENT OF THE SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER OF LICENSOR’S RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST IN
THE PREMISES, LICENSOR SHALL BE RELEASED FROM ALL LIABILITY AND OBLIGATIONS
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT THEREAFTER ACCRUING, PROVIDED THAT LICENSOR’S SUCCESSOR IN
INTEREST SHALL ASSUME THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF LICENSOR UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF SUCH TRANSFER.

suit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements

property, including death, as a result of any act or omission (whether
intentional, negligent or otherwise) by Customer in connection with the
Premises or Licensed Area, use of the Interconnection Facility or otherwise
related to the exercise by Customer of the License granted to Customer under
this Agreement.

 

10.                              Insurance.   Customer shall maintain, at
its expense, commercial general liability insurance for the Premises. Such
coverage shall (a) have a single limit of not less than One Million

11.                              No
Property Interest; Sole Use of Licensed Area by Customer; No Assignment or
Sub-License. Customer acknowledges that the rights granted to
Customer hereunder constitute a usufruct and do not constitute an easement of
any portion of the Premises.  Customer
further acknowledges that it has been granted only a license to occupy the
Licensed Area and that it has not been granted any real property interest in
the Licensed Area or the Premises. 
Customer further agrees that, subject to required procedures and
conditions to any sublicense (set forth below), neither this Agreement nor any

party.  Customer further agrees that
neither the Licensed Area or any part thereof shall be used or occupied, nor
permitted to be used or occupied, by any entity (including any affiliated
entity) other than Customer.  Any attempt
to allow the use or occupancy of the Licensed Area by any entity other than
Customer, or to assign, mortgage, sublease, sub-license or encumber any rights
under this Agreement by Customer shall be void and constitute a material breach
of the License granted hereby, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by
Licensor.

 

12.                              Liens.  If any mechanics lien or other liens shall be
filed against the building, the Premises or property of Licensor, or any
improvement thereon by reason of or arising out of any labor or materials furnished
or alleged to have been furnished or to be furnished to or for Customer or by
reason of any changes, or additions to Licensor property made at the request or
under the direction of the Customer, Customer shall, within thirty (30) days
after receipt of written notice from Licensor either pay such lien or cause the
same to be bonded off in the manner provided by law.  Customer shall also defend on behalf of
Licensor, at Customer’s sole cost and expense, any action, suit or proceeding
which may be brought for the enforcement of such liens and Customer shall pay
any damage and discharge any judgment entered thereon.

14.10            Confidentiality.  a) Each party expressly undertakes to retain
in confidence all information (including, with respect to Customer, the
identification of other licensees of space at the Premises) and know-how, in
whatever form transmitted, including, but not limited to, information
concerning its past, present and future business affairs, business plans,
operations or systems of such party (“Disclosing Party”) or another
party whose information the Disclosing Party has in its possession under
obligations of confidentiality, disclosed in any way to it (the “Receiving
Party”) that the Disclosing Party has identified as being proprietary
and/or confidential or that, by the nature of the circumstances surrounding the
disclosure, ought in good faith to be treated as proprietary and/or
confidential (“Confidential Information”).  The Receiving Party shall treat the
Confidential Information with the same degree of care, and will make no use of
such Confidential Information during the existence of this Agreement except as
otherwise specified herein; (b) the Receiving Party shall have no
obligation to maintain the confidentiality of information that: (i) it
received rightfully from another party without restrictions on disclosure prior
to its receipt from the Disclosing Party; (ii) the Disclosing Party has
disclosed to an unaffiliated third party without any obligation to maintain
such information in confidence; or (iii) is independently developed by the
Receiving Party; (c) except as otherwise provided, the Receiving Party
shall not disclose, disseminate, distribute or use any of the Disclosing Party’s
Confidential Information to any third party without the Disclosing Party’s
prior written permission; (d) The parties agree that a breach of the terms
of this Section 15.16 would result in irreparable injury to the Disclosing
Party for which a remedy in damages would be inadequate.  The parties agree that in the event of such
breach or threatened breach, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek an
injunction to prevent the breach or threatened breach, in addition to remedies
otherwise available for such specific performance or injunctive relief, that
the Disclosing Party has an adequate remedy at law.

cabinets, cases, square footage colo space) within the Licensor facilities:

 

The Vertical Common Area refers to the space
running throughout each Licensor facility, descending from the ceiling to the “trapeze”
area and, in the case of raised flooring, the space underneath the raised
flooring between the raised flooring and the floor (whether built or under
construction) for the physical support of all conduit pipe, innerducts and
junction boxes, and the like.  The
Vertical Common Area is intended for the use and access by Licensor, to
facilitate the effective functioning of the facility as a whole.

it being understood that Agent may rely on the authority of any individual
making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such
written confirmation.  Each Revolving
Credit Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify:  (a) the proposed Borrowing Date; and
(b) the aggregate amount of the proposed Revolving Credit Loans.

to Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests], notify Lenders of its
receipt of such Revolving Credit Loan Request specifying:  (a) the proposed Borrowing Date and the
time and method of disbursement of the Revolving Credit Loans requested
thereby; (b) the amount of each such Revolving Credit Loan; and
(c) the apportionment among Lenders of such Revolving Credit Loans as
determined by Agent in accordance with Section 2.2  [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations With Respect
to Revolving Credit Loans].  Each Lender
shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan to Agent such
that Agent is able to, and Agent shall, to the extent Lenders have made funds
available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 6.2 [Each
Additional Revolving Credit Loan], fund such Revolving Credit Loans to Borrower
in Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to

subject to the repayment obligation in Section 9.16 [Availability of
Funds].

Note dated the Closing Date payable to the order of such Lender in a face
amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender and in the form
of Exhibit 1.1(R).

 

2.8           Use of Proceeds.

 

The
proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used in accordance with
Section 7.1.10 [Use of Proceeds].

 

2.9           Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments.

 

Borrower
has elected to increase the Revolving Credit Commitments up to an aggregate
amount not to exceed $100,000,000, subject to the conditions set forth
herein.  Agent shall use its best efforts
to arrange for such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender
so agreeing to an increase in its Revolving Credit Commitments, an “Increasing
Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities
(each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting
Lender”), to increase their existing Revolving Credit Commitments, or extend
Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, provided that (i) each
Augmenting Lender, shall be subject to the approval of Agent and (ii) (x) in
the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender
execute an agreement (an “Increasing Lender Joinder”) substantially in the form
of Exhibit 2.9(a) hereto, and (y) in the case

 

23

 

of
an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an
agreement (an “Augmenting Lender Joinder”) substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.9(b) hereto.  Increased and new Revolving Credit
Commitments created pursuant to this subsection shall become effective on the
date agreed by Agent and the relevant Increasing Lender(s) or Augmenting
Lender(s); and, Agent shall notify each Lender thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in
the Revolving Credit Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender), shall
become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of
the effectiveness of such increase, the conditions set forth in Section 6.2
shall be satisfied and no Potential Default or Event of Default shall exist
after giving effect to such increase in Revolving Credit Commitments and Agent
shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed
by the Managing Director of Borrower, and (ii) Agent shall have received
Revolving Credit Notes, if requested by the respective Lenders, reflecting the
increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments and documents consistent with those
delivered by the Loan Parties under Section 6.1.2 as to the corporate
power and authority of Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such
increase.  On the effective date of any
increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments, (i) each Increasing Lender
and Augmenting Lender shall make available to Agent, for the benefit of the
other Lenders, such amounts in immediately available funds as Agent shall
determine as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such
increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders,
each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Lenders to
equal its Ratable Share of such outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (after
giving effect to the increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments occasioned by
the addition of the Increasing Lender(s) or Augmenting Lender(s), or both,
as the case may be) and (ii) Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and
reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans as of the date of any increase
in the Revolving Credit Commitments.  The
deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding
sentence in respect of each Revolving Credit Loan subject to the Euro-Rate
shall be subject to indemnification by Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.6.2
[Indemnity] if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the
related Interest Periods.  Upon the
request of Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent for the benefit
of the Lenders any and all other documents, instruments, and agreements
necessary or advisable in the reasonable judgment of Agent to evidence or
document the increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments, including any
amendments hereto, and each of the Lenders hereby provides its consent hereto
and thereto and each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to execute any such
documents, instruments, and agreements consistent with the terms of this
Section 2.9 on its behalf without the necessity of any further consent of
any Lender.  Agent and each Lender shall
have no obligation to provide any additional credit, commitment, or loan under
this Section 2.9.

 

3.             INTEREST RATES

 

3.1           Interest Rates.

 

Borrower
shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the
Revolving Credit Loans as set forth below, it being understood that, subject to
the provisions of this Agreement, Borrower may renew the Euro-Rate with respect
to all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Loans.  If at any time the designated rate applicable
to any Revolving Credit 

 

24

 

Loan
made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of
interest on such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s
highest lawful rate.

 

3.1.1        Revolving Credit Interest
Rate.

 

Borrower
shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding principal amount of the
Revolving Credit Loans at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of
360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Euro-Rate plus the Applicable
Margin.

 

3.1.2        Rate Quotations.

 

Borrower
may call Agent on or before the date on which a Revolving Credit Loan Request
is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but it
is acknowledged that such indication shall not be binding on Agent or Lenders
nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the
election is made.

 

3.2           Interest Periods.

 

In
the case of the renewal of a Euro-Rate Revolving Credit Loan at the end of an
Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day
of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest
for such day.

 

3.3           Interest After Default.

 

To
the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default and until the Event of Default shall have been cured or
waived:

 

3.3.1        Interest Rate.

 

The
rate of interest for each Revolving Credit Loan otherwise applicable pursuant
to Section 3.1 [Interest Rates], shall be increased by 3.0% per annum; and

 

3.3.2        Other Obligations.

 

Each
other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest otherwise applicable
pursuant to Section 3.1 [Interest Rates] plus an additional 3.0% per annum
from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable until it is paid in full.

 

3.3.3        Acknowledgment.

 

Borrower
acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 3.3
reflects, among other things, the fact that such Revolving Credit Loans or
other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default
status and that Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk;
and all such interest shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by Agent.

 

25

 

3.4           Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased
Costs; Deposits Not Available.

 

3.4.1        Unascertainable.

 

If
on any date on which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be determined, Agent shall
have determined that:

 

(a)           adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining such Euro-Rate, or

 

(b)           a contingency has occurred
which materially and adversely affects the London interbank eurodollar market
relating to the Euro-Rate, Agent shall have the rights specified in
Section 3.4.3 [Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

 

3.4.2        Illegality; Increased Costs;
Deposits Not Available.

 

If
at any time any Lender shall have determined that:

 

(a)           the making,
maintenance or funding of any Revolving Credit Loan to which a Euro-Rate
applies has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in
good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any
Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body
(whether or not having the force of Law), or

 

(b)           such Euro-Rate
will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the
establishment or maintenance of any such Revolving Credit Loan, or

 

(c)           after making
all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars for the
relevant Interest Period for a Revolving Credit Loan, or to lenders generally,
to which a Euro-Rate applies, respectively, are not available to such Lender
with respect to such Revolving Credit Loan, or to lenders generally, in the
interbank eurodollar market, then Agent shall have the rights specified in
Section 3.4.3 [Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

 

3.4.3        Agent’s and Lenders’ Rights.

 

In
the case of any event specified in Section 3.4.1 [Unascertainable], Agent
shall promptly so notify Lenders and Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event
specified in Section 3.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not
Available], such Lender shall promptly so notify Agent and endorse a
certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and
Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other
Lenders and Borrower.  Upon such date as
shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date
such notice is given), the obligation of: 
(a) Lenders, in the case of such notice given by Agent, or
(b) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow
Borrower to renew an Interest Period under a Euro-Rate shall be suspended until
Agent shall have later notified Borrower, or such Lender shall have later
notified Agent, of Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, determination
that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer
exist.  If at any time Agent makes a
determination under Section 3.4.1 [Unascertainable] and the next Interest
Period has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall 

 

26

 

be
deemed to provide for conversion to the Base Rate.  If any Lender notifies Agent of a
determination under Section 3.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits
Not Available], Borrower shall, subject to Borrower’s indemnification
Obligations under Section 4.6.2 [Indemnity], as to any Revolving Credit
Loan of the Lender to which a Euro-Rate applies, on the date specified in such
notice either convert such Revolving Credit Loan to the Base Rate or prepay
such Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with Section 4.4 [Voluntary
Prepayments].  Absent due notice from
Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Revolving Credit Loan shall
automatically be converted to the Base Rate upon such specified date.

 

4.             PAYMENTS

 

4.1           Payments.

 

All
payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest, Annual
Fees, Origination Fees, or other fees or amounts due from Borrower hereunder
shall be payable prior to 12:00 p.m., Oklahoma City time, on the date when
due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which
are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim or
other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately
accrue.  Such payments shall be made to
Agent at the Principal Office for the ratable accounts of Lenders with respect
to the Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars and in immediately available funds,
and Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to Lenders in immediately
available funds, provided that in the event payments are received by
12:00 p.m., Oklahoma City time, by Agent with respect to the Revolving
Credit Loans and such payments are not distributed to Lenders on the same day
received by Agent, Agent shall pay Lenders the Federal Funds Effective Rate
with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by Agent and not
distributed to Lenders.  Agent’s and each
Lender’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of
principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans and other amounts owing
under this Agreement and shall be deemed an “account stated.”

 

4.2           Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders.

 

Each
borrowing of a Revolving Credit Loan shall be allocated to each Lender
according to its Ratable Share.  Each
selection of or renewal of the Euro-Rate and each payment or prepayment by
Borrower with respect to principal, interest, Annual Fees, Origination Fees, or
other fees or amounts due from Borrower hereunder to Lenders with respect to
the Revolving Credit Loans shall (except as provided in Section 3.4.3
[Agent’s and Lender’s Rights] in the case of an event specified in
Section 3.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Etc.], 4.4 [Voluntary
Prepayments], or 4.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) be
made in proportion to the applicable Revolving Credit Loans outstanding from
each Lender and, if no such Revolving Credit Loans are then outstanding, in
proportion to the Ratable Share of each Lender.

 

4.3           Interest Payment Dates.

 

Interest
on Revolving Credit Loans shall be due and payable in arrears on the first day
of each month after the date hereof and on the Expiration Date or upon
acceleration of the 

 

27

 

Revolving
Credit Loans.  Interest on mandatory
prepayments of principal under Section 4.5 [Mandatory Prepayments] shall
be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due.  Interest on the principal amount of each
Revolving Credit Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on
demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and
payable (whether on the stated maturity date, upon acceleration or otherwise).

 

4.4           Voluntary Prepayments.

 

4.4.1        Right to Prepay.

 

Borrower
shall have the right at its option from time to time to prepay the Revolving
Credit Loans in whole, but not in part,  without
premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 4.4.2 [Replacement of a
Lender], Section 4.4.3 [Prepayment Fee] or in Section 4.6 [Additional
Compensation in Certain Circumstances]):

 

(a)           on the last day of the
applicable Interest Period with respect to Revolving Credit Loans to which the
Euro-Rate applies,

 

(b)           on the date specified in a
notice by any Lender pursuant to Section 3.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable, Etc.]
with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan to which the Euro-Rate applies.

 

Whenever
Borrower desires to prepay the Revolving Credit Loans in full, it shall provide
a prepayment notice to Agent by 12:00 p.m., Oklahoma City time, at least
one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans
setting forth the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed
prepayment is to be made.

 

All
prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. 
The principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans for which a
prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount
shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the
date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made.  Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to
Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify Lenders under Section 4.6.2
[Indemnity].

 

4.4.2        [Reserved.]

 

4.4.3        Prepayment Fee.

 

In
the event Borrower repays all of the Revolving Credit Loans and terminates all
of the Revolving Credit Commitments after the Closing Date, but on or prior to May 25,
2008, Borrower shall pay Agent for the benefit of Lenders at the date of such
repayment and termination a prepayment fee equal to 3.0% of the maximum
aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments. In the event Borrower
repays all of the Revolving Credit Loans and terminates all of the Revolving
Credit Commitments after May 25, 2008, but on or prior to May 25,
2009, Borrower shall pay Agent for the benefit of Lenders at the date of such
repayment and termination a prepayment fee equal to 2% of the maximum aggregate
amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments. 
In the event Borrower repays all of the Revolving Credit Loans and
terminates all of the Revolving Credit Commitments after May 25, 2009, but
on or before May 25, 2010, Borrower shall pay Agent for the benefit of
Lenders at the date of such repayment and 

 

28

 

termination
a prepayment fee equal to 1% of the maximum amount of the Revolving Credit
Commitments.  After May 25, 2010, no
prepayment fee shall be due under this Section 4.4.3.

 

4.4.4        Change of Lending Office.

 

Each
Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to increased
costs or other special payments under Section 3.4.2 [Illegality, Etc.]
or 4.6.1 [Increased Costs or Reduced Return Resulting from Taxes, Etc.]
with respect to such Lender, it will if requested by Borrower, use reasonable
efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate
another lending office for any Revolving Credit Loans affected by such event, provided
that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending
office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of
avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such
Section.  Nothing in this
Section 4.4.4 shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of Borrower
or any other Borrower or the rights of Agent or any Lender provided in this
Agreement.

 

4.5           Mandatory Prepayments.

 

4.5.1        Euro-Rate.

 

In
accordance with Section 4.6.2 [Indemnity], Borrower shall indemnify
Lenders for any loss or expense, including loss of margin, incurred with
respect to any such prepayments applied against Revolving Credit Loans subject
to the Euro-Rate on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest
Period.

 

4.5.2        Borrowing Base Exceeded.

 

Whenever
the Revolving Facility Usage exceeds the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall
immediately make, without the necessity of any demand by Agent, a mandatory
prepayment of principal on the Revolving Credit Loans equal to the amount by
which the Revolving Facility Usage exceeds the Borrowing Base, together with
accrued interest on such principal amount; provided, however,
that in the event such a mandatory prepayment is due as a result of the payment
of interest of the first day of the month pursuant to Section 4.3
[Interest Payment Dates], Borrower shall have until the fifth day of such month
to either make such mandatory prepayment or ensure that the Borrowing Base is
not less than Revolving Facility Usage.

 

4.6           Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances.

 

4.6.1        Increased Costs or Reduced
Return Resulting from Taxes, Reserves, Capital Adequacy Requirements, Expenses, Etc.

 

If
any Law, guideline or interpretation or any change in any Law, guideline or
interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof or compliance with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of Law) of any central lender or
other Official Body:

 

(a)           subjects any Lender to any
tax or changes the basis of taxation with respect to this Agreement, any
Revolving Credit Notes, the Revolving Credit Loans or payments 

 

29

 

by Borrower of principal, interest, Annual Fees, or
other amounts due from Borrower hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Notes
(except for taxes on the overall net income of such Lender);

 

(b)           imposes, modifies or deems
applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against credits
or commitments to extend credit extended by, or assets (funded or contingent)
of, deposits with or for the account of, or other acquisitions of funds by, any
Lender; or

 

(c)           imposes, modifies or deems
applicable any capital adequacy or similar requirement: (i) against assets
(funded or contingent) of, or letters of credit, other credits or commitments
to extend credit extended by, any Lender, or (ii) otherwise applicable to
the obligations of any Lender under this Agreement, and the result of any of
the foregoing is to increase the cost to, reduce the income receivable by, or
impose any expense (including loss of margin) upon any Lender with respect to
this Agreement, any Revolving Credit Notes or the making, maintenance or
funding of any part of the Revolving Credit Loans (or, in the case of any
capital adequacy or similar requirement, to have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on any Lender’s capital, taking into consideration such Lender’s
customary policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount which such
Lender in its sole discretion deems to be material, such Lender shall from time
to time notify Borrower and Agent of the amount determined in good faith (using
any averaging and attribution methods employed in good faith) by such Lender to
be necessary to compensate such Lender for such increase in cost, reduction of
income, additional expense or reduced rate of return.  Such notice shall set forth in reasonable
detail the basis for such determination. 
Such amount shall be due and payable by Borrower to such Lender 10
Business Days after such notice is given.

 

4.6.2        Indemnity.

 

In
addition to the compensation required by Section 4.6.1 [Increased Costs or
Reduced Return Resulting from Taxes, Etc.], Borrower shall indemnify each
Lender against all liabilities, losses or expenses (including loss of margin,
any loss or expense incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third
parties and any loss or expense incurred in connection with funds acquired by a
Lender to fund or maintain Revolving Credit Loans subject to a Euro-Rate) which
such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of any:

 

(a)           payment, prepayment,
conversion or renewal of any Revolving Credit Loan to which the Euro-Rate
applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period
(whether or not such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic
and whether or not such payment or prepayment is then due);

 

(b)           attempt by Borrower to
revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part
any Revolving Credit Loan Requests under Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit
Loan Requests] or Section 3.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating to
prepayments under Section 4.4 [Voluntary Prepayments]; or

 

(c)           default by Borrower in the
performance or observance of any covenant or condition contained in any Credit
Document, including any failure of Borrower to 

 

30

 

pay when due (by acceleration or otherwise) any
principal, interest, Annual Fee or any other amount due hereunder.

 

If
any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to
time notify Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender
(which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and
expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem
reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or
expense.  Such notice shall set forth in
reasonable detail the basis for such determination.  Such amount shall be due and payable by
Borrower to such Lender 10 Business Days after such notice is given.

 

4.7           Interbank Market Presumption.

 

For
all purposes of this Agreement and any Revolving Credit Note with respect to
any aspects of the Euro-Rate or any Revolving Credit Loan under the Euro-Rate,
each Lender and Agent shall be presumed to have obtained rates, fundings,
currencies, deposits, and the like in the applicable interbank market
regardless of whether it did so or not; and, each Lender’s and Agent’s
determination of amounts payable under, and actions required or authorized by,
Sections 3.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Etc.] and 4.6 [Additional Compensation
in Certain Circumstances] shall be calculated, at each Lender’s and Agent’s
option, as though each Lender and Agent funded each Revolving Credit Loan under
the Euro-Rate through the purchase of deposits of the types and maturities
corresponding to the deposits used as a reference in accordance with the terms
hereof in determining the Euro-Rate applicable to such Revolving Credit Loans,
whether in fact that is the case.

 

4.8           Taxes.

 

4.8.1        No Deductions.

 

All
payments made by Borrower hereunder and under any Revolving Credit Note shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, and all liabilities
with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on the net income of any Lender
and all income and franchise taxes applicable to any bank of the United States
(all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).  If Borrower shall be required by Law to
deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any
Revolving Credit Note, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as may be
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.8.1) each
Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (b) Borrower shall make such deductions, and
(c) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant tax
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law.

 

4.8.2        Stamp Taxes.

 

In
addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary
taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies which
arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, or
registration of, or otherwise with 

 

31

 

respect
to, this Agreement or any Revolving Credit Note (hereinafter referred to as “Other
Taxes”).

 

4.8.3        Indemnification for Taxes
Paid by a Lender.

 

Borrower
shall indemnify each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes
(including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts
payable under this Section 4.8.3) paid by any Lender and any liability
(including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
asserted.  This indemnification shall be
made within 30 days from the date a Lender makes written demand therefor.

 

4.8.4        Certificate.

 

Within
30 days after the date of any payment of any Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower,
Borrower shall furnish to each Lender, at its address referred to herein, the
original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.  If no Taxes or Other Taxes are payable in
respect of any payment by Borrower, such Borrower shall, if so requested by a
Lender, provide a certificate of an officer of Borrower to that effect.

 

4.8.5        Survival.

 

Without
prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the
agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in Sections 4.8.1 through
4.8.4 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder and
under any instrument delivered hereunder.

 

4.9           Judgment Currency.

 

4.9.1        Currency Conversion
Procedures for Judgments.

 

If
for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert
a sum due hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note in any currency (the “Original
Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties hereby
agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that the rate of exchange used
shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures each Lender
could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency after any premium
and costs of exchange on the Business Day preceding that on which final
judgment is given.

 

4.9.2        Indemnity in Certain Events.

 

The
obligation of Borrower in respect of any sum due from Borrower to any Lender
hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in an Other Currency, whether
pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, be discharged only to the extent that, on
the Business Day following receipt by any Lender of any sum adjudged to be so
due in such Other Currency, such Lender may in accordance with normal banking
procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency.  If the amount of the Original Currency so
purchased is less than the sum 

 

32

 

originally
due to such Lender in the Original Currency, Borrower agrees, as a separate
obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment or payment, to indemnify such
Lender against such loss.

 

5.             REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES

 

5.1           Representations and Warranties.

 

Borrower
represents and warrants to Agent and each Lender as follows:

 

5.1.1        Organization and
Qualification.

 

Borrower
is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization.  Borrower has the lawful power to own or lease
its properties and to engage in the business it presently conducts or proposes
to conduct.  Borrower is duly licensed or
qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction listed on Schedule 5.1.1
and in all other jurisdictions where the property owned or leased by it or the
nature of the business transacted by it or both makes such licensing or
qualification necessary, except where the failure to do so would not constitute
a Material Adverse Change.

 

5.1.2        Capitalization and Ownership.

 

The
authorized membership ownership interests of Borrower consist of 100 points (“Membership
Interests”) which are issued and outstanding. 
As of the Closing Date, Whitecap owns all of the issued and outstanding
Membership Interests of Borrower.  All of
the Membership Interests have been validly issued and are fully paid and
nonassessable.  There are no options,
warrants or other rights outstanding to purchase any of Borrower’s membership

workmanlike practices prevailing in the security alarm industry at the time of

for Borrower’s business and all Official Parties, and Borrower has not been
advised by its servicer of any facts that may indicate otherwise.  To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all such

Taxes, Etc.

 

Borrower

being contested in good faith and by appropriate and lawful proceedings
diligently conducted and for which such reserve or other appropriate
provisions, if any, as shall be required by GAAP, shall have been made, but
only to the extent that failure to discharge any such liabilities would not
result in any additional liability which would have a Material Adverse Change, provided
that Borrower will pay all such liabilities forthwith upon the commencement of
proceedings to foreclose any Lien which may have attached as security therefor
(other than a Lien expressly permitted under this Agreement).

 

7.1.3        Maintenance of Insurance.

 

Borrower
shall insure its properties and assets against loss or damage by fire and such
other insurable hazards as such assets are commonly insured (including fire,
extended coverage, public liability and business interruption insurance) and
against other risks (including errors and omissions coverage in an amount not

insured by prudent companies in similar circumstances carrying on similar
businesses, and with reputable and financially sound insurers, including
self-insurance to the extent customary with not less than $5,000,000 aggregate
coverage, all as reasonably determined by Agent.  At the request of Agent, Borrower shall
deliver to Agent and each Lender:

described in the next sentence attached to such certificate and (b) from

Agent as an additional insured, mortgagee and lender loss payee

interest of Lenders shall be insured regardless of any breach or violation by
Borrower of any warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such
policies or any action or inaction of Borrower or others insured under such
policies, (iii) provide a waiver of any right of the insurers to set off
or counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise,
(iv) provide that any and all rights of subrogation which the insurers may
have or acquire shall be, at all times and in all respects, junior and
subordinate to the prior payment in full of the Indebtedness hereunder and that
no insurer shall exercise or assert any right of subrogation until such time as
the Indebtedness hereunder has been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving
Credit Commitments have terminated, (v) provide, except in the case of
public liability insurance, that all insurance proceeds for losses of less than
$50,000  shall be adjusted with and
payable to Borrower and that all insurance proceeds for losses of $50,000  or more shall be adjusted with and payable
to Agent, (vi) include effective waivers by the insurer of all claims for
insurance premiums against Agent, (vii) provide that no cancellation of
such policies for any reason (including non-payment of premium) nor any change
therein shall be effective until at least 30 days after receipt by Agent of
written notice of such cancellation or change, (viii) be primary without
right of contribution of any other insurance carried by or on behalf of any
additional insureds with respect to their respective interests in the
Collateral, (ix) provide that inasmuch as the policy covers more than one
insured, all terms, conditions, insuring agreements and endorsements (except
limits of liability) shall operate as if there were a separate policy covering
each insured, and (x) not limit the errors and omissions coverage, or the
insurer’s obligation to defend, in the event that a written contract does not
exist, does not include a limitation of liability provision, or is found to be
void.  Borrower shall notify Agent
promptly of any occurrence causing a material loss or decline in value of the Collateral
and the estimated (or actual, if available) amount of such loss or
decline.  Any monies received by Agent
constituting insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds may, at the option of
Agent, (A) be applied by Agent to the payment of the Revolving Credit

8.1.11      Separateness Assumptions.

 

Any
of the assumptions contained in any “non-consolidation” opinion delivered to
Agent in connection with the Revolving Credit Loans is or shall become untrue
in any material respect; provided, however, that any such violation shall not
result in an Event of Default if (a) such violation was inadvertent, does
not result in a reasonable likelihood that a substantive consolidation of the
assets and liabilities of Borrower with those of any other Person in a bankruptcy
proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States would occur, and is
promptly corrected upon Borrower’s obtaining knowledge of such failure (unless
such failure to correct would not result in a future reasonable likelihood of
substantive consolidation and the opinion required in the following clause (b) opines
to the same) and (b) within fifteen (15) days of Agent’s request, Borrower
delivers to Agent an opinion of counsel to the effect that such breach shall
not negate or impair the substance of the “non-consolidation” opinion delivered
to Agent on the Closing Date;

Borrower or SAI is enjoined, restrained or in any way prevented by court order
from conducting all or any material part of its business, and such injunction,
restraint or other preventive order is not dismissed within 30 days after the
entry thereof;

 

8.1.14      Change of Control; Change of
Management.

 

(a) Whitecap
ceases to own 100%  of Borrower,
except as expressly permitted herein; (b) Whitecap Advisors, LLC ceases to
serve as the General Partner and advisor for Whitecap, or (c) any member
of the Senior Management Team ceases to
hold the office and title held by such member of the Senior Management Team as
of the Closing Date and to be substantially involved in the day-to-day
management of Borrower, and, in either case, Borrower has not hired or appointed
an individual reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders within 3 months of such
occurrence to replace such Person;

 

8.1.15      Involuntary Proceedings.

 

A
proceeding shall have been instituted in a court having jurisdiction in the
premises seeking a decree or order for relief in respect of Borrower or
Whitecap in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or for the
appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee,
sequestrator, conservator or similar official of Borrower for any substantial
part of its property, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and
such proceeding shall remain

 

64

by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator,
conservator or other similar official of itself or for any substantial part of
its property, (d) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (e) fail

Bankruptcy, Insolvency or Reorganization Proceedings.

 

If
an Event of Default specified under Sections 8.1.1 through 8.1.14 shall
occur and be continuing, Lenders and Agent shall be under no further obligation
to make Revolving Credit Loans and Agent may, and upon the request of Required
Lenders, shall, by written notice to Borrower, declare the unpaid principal

Section 9.13 [Equalization of Lenders] and any branch, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of such Lender or participant anywhere in the world shall have the
right, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it, without
notice to Borrower, to set-off against and apply to the then unpaid balance of
all the Revolving Credit Loans and all other Obligations of Borrower or under
any Credit Document any debt owing to, and any other funds held in any manner
for the account of, Borrower by such Lender or participant or by such branch,
Subsidiary or Affiliate, including all funds in all deposit accounts

 

65

 

(whether
time or demand, general or special, provisionally credited or finally credited,
or otherwise) now or hereafter maintained by Borrower for its own account (but
not including funds held in custodian or trust accounts) with such Lender or
participant or such branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate.  Such right shall exist whether or not any
Lender or Agent shall have made any demand under any Credit Document, whether
or not such debt owing to or funds held for the account of Borrower is or are
matured or unmatured and regardless of the existence or adequacy of any
Collateral, Guaranty or any other security, right or remedy available to any
Lender or Agent; and

If
an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and whether or not Agent

owed any amount with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans, may proceed to
protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity, action at law and/or other
appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or
agreement contained in any Credit Document, including as permitted by
applicable Law the obtaining of the ex  parte appointment of a
receiver, and, if such amount shall have become due, by declaration or
otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or
equitable right of Agent or such Lender; and

 

8.2.5        Application of Proceeds;
Collateral Sharing.

 

(a)           Application of Proceeds.  From and after the date on which Agent has
taken any action pursuant to this Section 8.2 and until all Obligations of
Borrower have been indefeasibly paid in full, any and all proceeds received by
Agent from any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part
thereof, or the exercise of any other remedy by Agent, shall be applied as
follows:

 

(i)            first, to reimburse Agent
and Lenders for out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements, including
reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and legal expenses, incurred by
Agent or Lenders in connection with realizing on the Collateral or collection
of any Obligations of Borrower under any of the Credit Documents, including
advances made by Lenders or any one of them or Agent for the reasonable
maintenance, preservation, protection or enforcement of, or realization upon,
the Collateral, including advances for taxes, insurance, repairs and the like
and reasonable expenses incurred to sell or otherwise realize on, or prepare
for sale or other realization on, any of the Collateral;

 

(ii)           second, to past due fees and
past due interest with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans pro rata according
to the aggregate amount of such fees and interest due to each Lender;

 

(iii)          third, to past due principal
of the Revolving Credit Loans pro rata according to the aggregate amount of
such principal due to each Lender;

 

(iv)          fourth, to other fees and
interest with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans pro rata according to the
aggregate amount of such fees and interest payable to each Lender;

 

66

 

(v)           fifth, to other principal of
the Revolving Credit Loans pro rata according to the aggregate amount of such
principal payable to each Lender;

 

(vi)          sixth, to other Obligations
due to Lenders hereunder or under the other Credit Documents pro rata according
to the amounts of such other Obligations payable to each Lender; and

 

(vii)         seventh, the balance, if
any, as required by Law.

 

(b)           Collateral Sharing.  All Liens granted under the Security
Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, and any other Credit Document (the “Collateral
Documents”) shall secure ratably and on a pari passu basis the Obligations in
favor of Agent and Lenders hereunder. 
Agent under the Collateral Documents shall be deemed to serve as the
collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) for Lenders, provided that the
Collateral Agent shall comply with the instructions and directions of Agent (or
Lenders under this Agreement to the extent that any Credit Document empowers
Lenders to direct Agent), as to all matters relating to the Collateral,
including the maintenance and disposition thereof.

 

8.2.6        Other Rights and Remedies.

 

In
addition to all of the rights and remedies contained in any of the Credit
Documents, Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable Law, all of which rights
and remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive, to the extent permitted by
Law.  Agent may, and upon the request of
Required Lenders shall, exercise all post-default rights granted to Agent and
Lenders under the Credit Documents or applicable Law.

 

8.3           Notice of Sale.

 

Any
notice required to be given by Agent of a sale, lease or other disposition of
the Collateral or any other intended action by Agent, if given 10 days prior to
such proposed action, shall constitute commercially reasonable and fair notice
thereof to Borrower.

 

9.             AGENT

 

9.1           Appointment.

 

Each
Lender hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and authorizes FCC, LLC to act
as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and to execute and deliver or
accept on behalf of each Lender each of the Credit Documents. Each Lender
hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Revolving Credit Note by
the acceptance of a Revolving Credit Note shall be deemed irrevocably to
authorize, Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and
agreements referred to herein, and to exercise such powers and to perform such
duties hereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the
terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.  FCC, LLC agrees to act as Agent
on behalf of Lenders to the extent provided in this Agreement.

 

67

 

9.2           Delegation of Duties.

 

Agent
may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through agents or employees (provided
such delegation does not constitute a relinquishment of its duties as Agent)
and, subject to Sections 9.5 [Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent
by Borrower] and 9.6 [Exculpatory Provisions; Limitation of Liability], shall
be entitled to engage and pay for the advice or services of any attorneys,
accountants or other experts concerning all matters pertaining to its duties
hereunder and to rely upon any advice so obtained.

 

9.3           Nature of Duties; Independent Credit Investigation.

 

Agent
shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in
this Agreement and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations
or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise be deemed to
exist.  The duties of Agent shall be
mechanical and administrative in nature. 
Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary or trust
relationship in respect of any Lender. 
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall
be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this
Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent”
in this Agreement with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any
fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency
doctrine of any applicable Law.  Instead,
such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent
contracting parties.  Each Lender
expressly acknowledges that: 
(a) Agent has not made any representations or warranties to it and
that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of
Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent
to any Lender; (b) it has made and will continue to make, without reliance
upon Agent, its own independent investigation of the financial condition and
affairs and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower in connection
with this Agreement and the making and continuance of the Revolving Credit
Loans hereunder; and (c) except as expressly provided herein, Agent shall
have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to
provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto,
whether coming into its possession before the making of any Revolving Credit Loan
or at any time or times thereafter.

 

9.4           Actions in Discretion of Agent; Instructions From
Lenders.

 

Agent
agrees, upon the written request of Required Lenders, to take or refrain from
taking any action of the type specified as being within Agent’s rights, powers
or discretion herein, provided that Agent shall not be required to take
any action which exposes Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to
this Agreement or any other Credit Document or applicable Law.  In the absence of a request by Required
Lenders, Agent shall have authority, in its sole discretion, to take or not to
take any such action, unless this Agreement specifically requires the consent
of Required Lenders or all Lenders.  Any
action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions or discretion
shall be binding on Lenders, subject to Section 9.6 [Exculpatory
Provisions; Limitation of Liability]. 
Subject to the provisions of Section 9.6 [Exculpatory Provisions;
Limitation of Liability], no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever
against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder
in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders, or in the absence of
such instructions, in the absolute discretion of Agent.

 

68

 

9.5           Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by
Borrower.

 

Borrower
unconditionally agrees to pay or reimburse Agent and hold Agent harmless
against: (a) liability for the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs, expenses and disbursements, including fees and expenses of counsel
(including the allocated costs of staff counsel), appraisers and environmental
consultants, incurred by Agent: (i) in connection with the development,
negotiation, preparation, printing, execution, administration, syndication,
interpretation and performance of Agent’s February 16, 2007 Term Sheet and
the Credit Documents;  provided, however,
Agent agrees to apply the Expense Deposit previously received from Borrower
against such costs and expenses; provided  further that Borrower’s
reimbursement obligation for such out-of-pocket costs, expenses and
disbursements up to and including the Closing Date for (a) Agent’s
financial, legal and collateral due diligence and (b) the preparation and
negotiation of the Credit Documents shall be limited to $100,000;  (ii) relating to any requested
amendments, waivers or consents pursuant to the provisions hereof;
(iii) in connection with the enforcement of any Credit Document or
collection of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or the proof and allowability
of any claim arising under any Credit Document, whether in bankruptcy or
receivership proceedings or otherwise; and (iv) in any workout or
restructuring or in connection with the protection, preservation, exercise or
enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any rights hereunder or under any
other Credit Document or in connection with any foreclosure, collection or
bankruptcy proceedings; and (b) all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against Agent, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or
arising out of any Credit Document or any action taken or omitted by Agent
hereunder or thereunder, provided that Borrower shall not be liable for
any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements if the same results
from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or if Borrower were not
given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the
defense thereof, at its expense (except that Borrower shall remain liable to
the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a loss to Borrower),
or if the same results from a compromise or settlement agreement entered into
without the consent of Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In addition, Borrower agrees to reimburse and
pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Agent’s regular employees and
agents engaged periodically to perform audits of Borrower’s books, records and
business properties.

 

9.6           Exculpatory Provisions; Limitation of Liability.

 

Neither
Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or
Affiliates shall: (a) be liable to any Lender for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in connection herewith
including pursuant to any Credit Document, unless caused by its or their own
gross negligence or willful misconduct, (b) be responsible in any manner
to any Lender for the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity or
the due execution of any Credit Document or for any recital, representation,
warranty, document, certificate, report or statement herein or made or
furnished under or in connection with any Credit Document, or (c) be under
any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance
or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof or thereof on
the part of Borrower, or the financial condition of Borrower, or the existence
or possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential Default. No claim
may be made by Borrower, any Lender, Agent or

 

69

 

any
of their respective Subsidiaries against Agent, any Lender or any of their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates, or
any of them, for any special, indirect or consequential damages or, to the
fullest extent permitted by Law, for any punitive damages in respect of any
claim or cause of action (whether based on contract, tort, statutory liability,
or any other ground) based on, arising out of or related to any Credit Document
or the transactions contemplated hereby or any act, omission or event occurring
in connection therewith, including the negotiation, documentation,
administration or collection of the Revolving Credit Loans, and Borrower, Agent
and each Lender hereby waive, release and agree never to sue upon any claim for
any such damages, whether such claim now exists or hereafter arises and whether
or not it is now known or suspected to exist in its favor.  Each Lender agrees that, except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by
Agent hereunder or given to Agent for the account of or with copies for
Lenders, Agent and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents,
attorneys or Affiliates shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide
any Lender with credit or other information concerning the business,
operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or
creditworthiness of Borrower which may come into the possession of Agent or any
of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates.

 

9.7           Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by
Lenders.

 

Each
Lender agrees to reimburse and indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by
Borrower and without limiting the Obligation of Borrower to do so) in proportion
to its Ratable Share from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (including the
allocated costs of staff counsel), and costs of appraisers and environmental
consultants, of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against Agent, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to
or arising out of any Credit Document or any action taken or omitted by Agent
hereunder or thereunder, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements: (a) if the same
results from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) if
such Lender were not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to
participate in the defense thereof, at its expense (except that such Lender
shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result
in a loss to the Lender), or (c) if the same results from a compromise and
settlement agreement entered into without the consent of such Lender, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
In addition, each Lender agrees promptly upon demand to reimburse Agent
(to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the Obligation
of Borrower to do so) in proportion to its Ratable Share for all amounts due
and payable by Borrower to Agent in connection with Agent’s periodic audit of
Borrower’s books, records and business properties.

 

9.8           Reliance by Agent.

 

Agent
shall be entitled to rely upon any writing, telegram, telex or teletype
message, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, letter, cablegram, statement,
order or other document or conversation by telephone or otherwise believed by
it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the
proper Person or Persons, and upon the advice and opinions of counsel and other
professional advisers selected by Agent. 
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action
hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its

 

70

 

satisfaction
by Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by
it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

 

9.9           Notice of Default.

 

Agent
shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any
Potential Default or Event of Default unless Agent has received written notice
from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such
Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice
of default.”

 

9.10         Notices.

 

Agent
shall send to each Lender a copy of all notices received from Borrower pursuant
to the provisions of the Credit Documents promptly upon receipt thereof.

 

9.11         Lenders in Their Individual Capacities; Agent in its
Individual Capacity.

 

With
respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Revolving Credit Loans made
by it and any other rights and powers given to it as a Lender hereunder or
under any of the other Credit Documents, Agent shall have the same rights and
powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not Agent, and the term “Lender” and “Lenders” shall, unless the context
otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity.  FCC, LLC  and
its Affiliates and each Lender and such Lender’s Affiliates may, without
liability to account, except as prohibited herein, make Revolving Credit Loans
to, issue letters of credit for the account of, acquire equity interests in,
accept deposits from, discount drafts for, act as trustee under indentures of,
and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory,
underwriting or other business with, Borrower and its Affiliates, in the case
of Agent, as though it were not acting as Agent hereunder, and in the case of
each Lender, as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder, in each case,
without notice to or consent of the other Lenders.  Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such
activities, Agent or its Affiliates may: (a) receive information regarding
Borrower or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to
confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such Affiliate) and
acknowledge that Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information
to them, and (b) accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for
services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to
account for the same to Lenders.  Lenders
acknowledge that FCC, LLC has entered into the Servicing Agreement with
Borrower.

 

9.12         Holders of Notes.

 

Agent
may deem and treat any payee of any Revolving Credit Note as the owner thereof
for all purposes hereof unless and until written notice of the assignment or
transfer thereof shall have been filed with Agent.  Any request, authority or consent of any
Person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent
is the holder of any Revolving Credit Note shall be conclusive and binding on
any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Revolving Credit Note or
of any Revolving Credit Note or Revolving Credit Notes issued in exchange
therefor.

 

71

 

9.13         Equalization of Lenders.

 

Lenders
and the holders of any participations in any Revolving Credit Notes agree among
themselves that,  with respect to all amounts
received by any Lender or any such holder for application on any Obligation
hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note or under any such participation,
whether received by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the
exercise of the right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or by any other
non-pro rata source, equitable adjustment will be made in the manner stated in
the following sentence so that, in effect, all such excess amounts will be
shared ratably among Lenders and such holders in proportion to their interests
in payments under the Revolving Credit Notes, except as otherwise provided in
Section 3.4.3 [Agent’s and Lender’s Rights], 4.4.2 [Replacement of a
Lender] or 4.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances].  Lenders or any such holder receiving any such
amount shall purchase for cash from each of the other Lenders an interest in
such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans in such amount as shall result in a
ratable participation by Lenders and each such holder in the aggregate unpaid
amount under the Revolving Credit Notes, provided that if all or any
portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from the Lender or the
holder making such purchase, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other
amounts, if any, required by Law to be paid by the Lender or the holder making
such purchase.

 

9.14         Successor Agent.

 

Agent:
(a) may resign as Agent or (b) shall resign if such resignation is
requested by Required Lenders (if Agent is a Lender, Agent’s Revolving Credit
Loans and its Revolving Credit Commitment shall be considered in determining
whether Required Lenders have requested such resignation) or required by
Section 4.4.2 [Replacement of a Lender], in either case of (a) or (b) by
giving not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to Borrower.  If Agent shall resign under this Agreement,
then either: (i) Required Lenders shall appoint from among Lenders a
successor agent for Lenders, or (ii) if a successor agent shall not be so
appointed within the 30 day period following Agent’s notice to Lenders of its
resignation, then Agent shall appoint a successor agent who shall serve as
Agent until such time as Required Lenders appoint a successor agent in
accordance with clause (i) above. 
Upon its appointment pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) above,
such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent,
and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent,  effective
upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent
shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of
such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement.  After the resignation of any Agent hereunder,
the provisions of this Section 9 [Agent] shall inure to the benefit of
such former Agent and such former Agent shall not by reason of such resignation
be deemed to be released from liability for any actions taken or not taken by
it while it was an Agent under this Agreement.

 

9.15         Beneficiaries.

 

Except
as expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Section 9 [Agent] are
solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, and Borrower shall not have any
right to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof.  In performing its functions and duties under
this Agreement, Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume
and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship
of agency or trust with or for Borrower.

 

72

 

9.16         Availability of Funds.

 

Agent
may assume that each Lender has made or will make the proceeds of a Revolving
Credit Loan available to Agent unless Agent shall have been notified by such
Lender on or before the later of: (a) the close of business on the
Business Day preceding the Borrowing Date with respect to such Revolving Credit
Loan, or (b) 2 hours before the time on which Agent actually funds the
proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan to Borrower (whether using its own funds
pursuant to this Section 9.16 or using proceeds deposited with Agent by
Lenders and whether such funding occurs before or after the time on which
Lenders are required to deposit the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan with
Agent).  Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption (but shall not be required to), make available to Borrower a
corresponding amount.  If such
corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Lender,
Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender (or,
if such Lender fails to pay such amount forthwith upon such demand from
Borrower) together with interest thereon, in respect of each day during the
period commencing on the date such amount was made available to Borrower and
ending on the date Agent recovers such amount, at a rate per annum equal to: (i) the
Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first 3 days after such interest shall
begin to accrue and (ii) the applicable interest rate in respect of such
Revolving Credit Loan after the end of such 3-day period.

 

9.17         Calculations.

 

In
the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, Agent shall not be
liable for any error in computing the amount payable to any Lender whether in
respect of the Revolving Credit Loans, fees or any other amounts due to Lenders
under this Agreement.  In the event an
error in computing any amount payable to any Lender is made, Agent, Borrower
and each affected Lender shall, forthwith upon discovery of such error, make
such adjustments as shall be required to correct such error, and any compensation
therefor will be calculated at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

Program.

 

Each
Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its
Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out such
Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification
program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA
Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained
in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or
any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the

its agents, the Credit Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated
hereby: (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any

amending or changing any provision of any Credit Document or the rights of
Lenders or Borrower hereunder or thereunder, or may grant written waivers or
consents to a departure from the due performance of the Obligations of Borrower
hereunder or thereunder.  Any such
agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent shall be effective
to bind all Lenders and Borrower; provided, that no such agreement,
waiver or consent may be made which will:

 

10.1.1      Increase of Commitment;
Extension of Expiration Date.

 

Increase
the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender hereunder (except
as set forth in Section 2.9 [Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments])
or, extend the Expiration Date without the prior written consent of all
Lenders;

 

10.1.2      Extension of Payment;

prepayment hereunder), the Annual Fee or any other fee payable to any Lender,
or reduce the principal amount of or the rate of interest borne by any
Revolving Credit Loan or reduce the Annual Fee or any other fee payable to any

interest of any Revolving Credit Loan, the Annual Fee or any other fee payable
to any Lender without the prior written consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby;

 

10.1.3      Release of Collateral or
Guarantor (Anti-Fraud).

 

Except
for sales of assets permitted by Section 7.2.7 [Dispositions of Assets or

Lenders, change the definition of Required Lenders, or change any requirement
providing for Lenders or Required Lenders to authorize the taking of any action
hereunder without the prior written consent of all Lenders;

 

74

 

provided, further, that
no agreement, waiver or consent which would modify the interests, rights or
obligations of Agent in its capacity as Agent shall be effective without the
prior written consent of Agent.

 

10.2         No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies; Writing
Required.

 

No
course of dealing and no delay or failure of Agent or any Lender in exercising
any right, power, remedy or privilege under any Credit Document shall affect
any other or future exercise thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of
steps to enforce such a right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any further
exercise thereof or of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.  The rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders
under any Credit Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies which they would otherwise have. 
Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the
part of any Lender of any breach or default under this Agreement or any such
waiver of any provision or condition of this Agreement must be in writing and
shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

 

10.3         Reimbursement and Indemnification of Lenders by
Borrower; Taxes.

 

Borrower
agrees unconditionally upon demand to pay or reimburse to each Lender (other
than Agent, as to which Borrower’s Obligations are set forth in
Section 9.5 [Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent By Borrower]) and
to save such Lender harmless against: (a) liability for the payment of all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees and
expenses of counsel (including allocated costs of staff counsel) for one Lender
except with respect to (i) and (ii) below), incurred by such Lender:
(i) in connection with the administration and interpretation of this
Agreement, and other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder,
(ii) relating to any amendments, waivers or consents pursuant to the
provisions hereof, (iii) in connection with the enforcement of any Credit
Document, or collection of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or the proof and
allowability of any claim arising under any Credit Document, whether in
bankruptcy or receivership proceedings or otherwise, and (iv) in any
workout or restructuring or in connection with the protection, preservation,
exercise or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any rights hereunder
or under any other Credit Document or in connection with any foreclosure,
collection or bankruptcy proceedings, or (b) all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against such Lender, in its capacity as such, in any
way relating to or arising out of any Credit Document or any action taken or
omitted by such Lender hereunder or thereunder, provided that Borrower
shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements: (A) if the same results from such Lender’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct, or (B) if Borrower were not given notice of the
subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its
expense (except that Borrower shall remain liable to the extent such failure to
give notice does not result in a loss to Borrower), or (C) if the same
results from a compromise or settlement agreement entered into without the
consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by
Borrower.  Lenders will attempt to
minimize the fees and expenses of legal counsel for Lenders which are subject
to reimbursement by Borrower hereunder by considering the usage of one law firm
to represent Lenders and Agent if appropriate under the circumstances.

 

75

 

Borrower
agrees unconditionally to pay all stamp, document, transfer, recording or
filing taxes or fees and similar impositions now or hereafter determined by
Agent or any Lender to be payable in connection with any Credit Document, and
Borrower agrees unconditionally to save Agent and Lenders harmless from and
against any and all present or future claims, liabilities or losses with
respect to or resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any such
taxes, fees or impositions.

 

10.4         Holidays.

 

Whenever
payment of a Revolving Credit Loan to be made or taken hereunder shall be due
on a day which is not a Business Day such payment shall be due on the next
Business Day (except as provided in Section 3.2 [Interest Periods] with
respect to Interest Periods under the Euro-Rate) and such extension of time
shall be included in computing interest and fees, except that the Revolving
Credit Loans shall be due on the Business Day preceding the Expiration Date if
the Expiration Date is not a Business Day. 
Whenever any payment or action to be made or taken hereunder (other than
payment of the Revolving Credit Loans) shall be stated to be due on a day which
is not a Business Day, such payment or action shall be made or taken on the
next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall not be included
in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment or
action.

 

10.5         Funding by Branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate.

 

10.5.1      Notional Funding.

 

Each
Lender shall have the right from time to time, without notice to Borrower, to
deem any branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate (which for the purposes of this
Section 10.5 shall mean any corporation or association which is directly
or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with
any corporation or association which directly or indirectly controls such
Lender) of such Lender to have made, maintained or funded any Revolving Credit
Loan to which the Euro-Rate applies at any time, provided that
immediately following (on the assumption that a payment were then due from
Borrower to such other office), and as a result of such change, Borrower would
not be under any greater financial obligation pursuant to Section 4.6
[Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances] than it would have been in
the absence of such change.  Notional funding
offices may be selected by each Lender without regard to such Lender’s actual
methods of making, maintaining or funding the Revolving Credit Loans or any
sources of funding actually used by or available to such Lender.

 

10.5.2      Actual Funding.

 

Each
Lender shall have the right from time to time to make or maintain any Revolving
Credit Loan by arranging for a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender
to make or maintain such Revolving Credit Loan subject to the last sentence of
this Section 10.5.2.  If any Lender
causes a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make or maintain any part of the
Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, all terms and conditions of this Agreement
shall, except where the context clearly requires otherwise, be applicable to
such part of the Revolving Credit Loans to the same extent as if such Revolving
Credit Loans were made or maintained by such Lender, but in no event shall any
Lender’s use of such a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make or maintain any
part of the Revolving Credit Loans hereunder cause such Lender or such branch,
Subsidiary

 

76

 

or
Affiliate to incur any cost or expenses payable by Borrower hereunder or
require Borrower to pay any other compensation to any Lender (including any
expenses incurred or payable pursuant to Section 4.6 [Additional
Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) which would otherwise not be incurred.

 

10.6         Notices.

 

Any
notice, request, demand, direction or other communication (for purposes of this
Section 10.6 only, a “Notice”) to be given to or made upon any party
hereto under any provision of this Agreement shall be given or made by
telephone or in writing (which includes means of electronic transmission (i.e.,
“e-mail”) or facsimile transmission in accordance with this Section 10.6.  Any such Notice must be delivered to the
applicable parties hereto at the addresses and numbers set forth under their
respective names on Schedule 1.1(B) or in accordance with any
subsequent unrevoked Notice from any such party that is given in accordance
with this Section 10.6.  Any Notice

Notice, when a party is contacted by telephone, if delivery of such telephonic
Notice is confirmed no later than the next Business Day by hand delivery, a
facsimile or electronic transmission or overnight courier delivery of a
confirmatory notice (received at or before noon on such next Business Day);

 

(d)           In the case of a facsimile
transmission, when sent to the applicable party’s facsimile machine’s telephone
number if the party sending such Notice receives confirmation of the delivery
thereof from its own facsimile machine;

 

(e)           In the case of electronic
transmission, when actually received; and

 

(f)            If given by any other means
(including by overnight courier), when actually received.

 

Any
Lender giving a Notice to Borrower shall concurrently send a copy thereof to
Agent, and Agent shall promptly notify the other Lenders of Agent’s receipt of
such Notice.  Borrower authorizes Agent
and Lenders to send commercial, business and other information to Borrower via
facsimile and/or electronic transmission.

 

10.7         Severability.

 

The
provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be
held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such
provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or
enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions
hereof in any jurisdiction.

Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws of the State of New
York and shall, pursuant to New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401,
for all purposes be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.

 

10.9                           Prior Understanding.

Agreement and the other Credit Documents supersede all prior understandings and
agreements, whether written or oral, among the parties hereto and thereto
relating to the transactions provided for herein and therein, including any
prior confidentiality agreements, proposals, term sheets and commitments.

 

10.10                     Duration; Survival.

 

All
representations and warranties of Borrower contained herein or made in
connection herewith shall survive the making of Revolving Credit Loans and
shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any
investigation by Agent or Lenders, the making of Revolving Credit Loans or
payment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans. 
All covenants and agreements of Borrower contained in Sections 7.1
[Affirmative Covenants], 7.2 [Negative Covenants] and 7.3 [Reporting
Requirements] shall continue in full force and effect from and after the date
hereof so long as Borrower may borrow and until termination of the Revolving
Credit Commitments and payment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans.  All covenants and agreements of Borrower
contained herein relating to the payment of principal, interest, premiums,
additional compensation or expenses and indemnification, including those set
forth in any Revolving Credit Notes, Section 4 [Payments] and
Sections 9.5 [Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by Borrower], 9.7
[Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by Lenders] and 10.3 [Reimbursement

10.11                     Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)                                  This Agreement
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Lenders, Agent,
Borrower and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may
not assign or transfer any of its rights and Obligations hereunder or any
interest herein.  Each Lender may, at its
own cost, make assignments of or sell participations in all or any part of its
Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Credit Loans made by it to one
or more banks or other entities, subject to the consent of Agent with respect
to any assignee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, provided
that:  (i) any assignment by a
Lender to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Lender may not be made in
amounts less than the lesser of $5,000,000 or the amount of the assigning
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and (ii) any assignment made by a
Lender of any portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment, or Revolving Credit
Loans, shall be a pro rata assignment of its Revolving Credit Commitment and
Revolving Credit Loans.  In the case of
an assignment, upon receipt by Agent of the Assignment and Assumption
Agreement, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless
otherwise provided therein), the same rights, benefits and obligations as it
would have if it had been a signatory

 

78

 

Lender
hereunder, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be adjusted accordingly, and
upon surrender of any Revolving Credit Note subject to such assignment,
Borrower shall execute and deliver a new Revolving Credit Note to the assignee
in an amount equal to the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by
it and a new Revolving Credit Note to the assigning Lender in an amount equal
to the Revolving Credit Commitment retained by it hereunder.  Any Lender that assigns any or all of its
Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Loans to a Person other than an
Affiliate of such Lender shall pay to Agent a service fee in the amount of
$3,500 for each assignment.  In the case
of a participation, the participant shall only have the rights specified in
Section 8.2.3 [Set-off] (the participant’s rights against such Lender in
respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed
by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto and not to include
any voting rights except with respect to changes of the type referenced in
Sections 10.1.1 [Increase of Revolving Credit Commitment, Etc.],
10.1.2 [Extension of Payment, Etc.], or 10.1.3 [Release of Collateral or
Guarantor (Anti-Fraud)]), all of such Lender’s obligations under any Credit
Document shall remain unchanged, and all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder
or thereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such
participation.

 

(b)                                 Any assignee or
participant which is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of
America or a state thereof shall deliver to Borrower and Agent the Withholding
Certificate described in Section 10.17.1 [Tax Withholding].  Each Lender may furnish any publicly
available information concerning Borrower and any other information concerning
Borrower in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and
participants (including prospective assignees or participants), provided
that such assignees and participants agree to be bound by the provisions of
Section 10.12 [Confidentiality].

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or
grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement, any Revolving Credit Note and the other Credit Documents to any
Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S.
Treasury Regulation 31 CFR Section 203.14 without notice to or consent of
Borrower or Agent.  No such pledge or
grant of a security interest shall release the transferor Lender of its
obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document.

 

10.12                     Confidentiality.

 

10.12.1            General.

 

Agent
and Lenders each agree to keep confidential all information obtained from
Borrower which is nonpublic and confidential or proprietary in nature
(including any information Borrower specifically designates as confidential),
except as provided below, and to use such information only in connection with
their respective capacities under this Agreement and for the purposes
contemplated hereby.  Agent and Lenders
shall be permitted to disclose such information: (a) to outside legal
counsel, accountants and other professional advisors who need to know such
information in connection with the administration and enforcement of this
Agreement, subject to agreement of such Persons to maintain confidentiality,
(b) to assignees and participants as contemplated by Section 10.11
[Successors and Assigns], and prospective assignees and participants, provided,
however, that the Whitecap financial statements shall not be provided to any
prospective assignee or participant unless such prospective assignee or

 

79

 

participant
is a U.S. or foreign bank, a lender to Agent, Siemens Financial Services, Inc.
(or any Affiliate thereof), or Siemens First Capital Commercial Finance, LLC
(or any Affiliate thereof), (c) to the extent requested by any Official
Body or, with notice to Borrower, as otherwise required by applicable Law or by
any subpoena or similar legal process, or in connection with any investigation
or proceeding arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
(d) if it becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Agreement or becomes available from a source not known to be subject to
confidentiality restrictions, or (e) if Borrower shall have consented to
such disclosure.

 

Borrower
agrees to keep confidential the terms of Agent’s February 16, 2007 Term
Sheet and the Credit Documents, except Borrower shall be permitted to disclose
such terms: (i) to outside legal counsel, accountants and other
professional advisors who need to know such information, subject to agreement
of such Persons to maintain confidentiality, (ii) to the extent requested
by any Official Body or, with notice to Agent, as otherwise required by
applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, or in connection
with any investigation or proceeding arising out of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) if it becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or becomes available from
a source not known to be subject to confidentiality restrictions, or (iv) if
Agent shall have consented to such disclosure.

Information With Affiliates of Lenders.

 

Borrower
acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and
other services may be offered or provided to Borrower or one or more of its
Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by
one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and Borrower hereby
authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such
Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of
such Lender, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of any
Lender receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of Section 10.12.1
[General] as if it were a Lender hereunder. 
Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the Revolving Credit
Loans and other Obligations and the termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitments.

 

10.13                     Counterparts.

 

This
Agreement may be executed by different parties hereto on any number of separate
counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an
original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.

 

10.14                     Agent’s or Lender’s Consent.

 

Whenever
Agent’s or any Lender’s consent is required to be obtained under any Credit
Document as a condition to any action, inaction, condition or event, Agent and
each Lender shall be authorized to give or withhold such consent in its sole
and absolute discretion (unless expressly stated otherwise herein) and to
condition its consent upon the giving of additional collateral, the payment of
money or any other matter.

 

80

 

10.15                     Exceptions.

 

The
representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall be independent
of each other, and no exception to any representation, warranty or covenant
shall be deemed to be an exception to any other representation, warranty or
covenant contained herein unless expressly provided, nor shall any such
exceptions be deemed to permit any action or omission that would be in
contravention of applicable Law.

 

10.16                     CONSENT TO FORUM; WAIVER OF
JURY TRIAL.

 

EACH OF BORROWER, AGENT, AND LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE
NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN NEW
YORK, NEW YORK, AND WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS UPON IT AND
CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED
MAIL DIRECTED TO SUCH BORROWER AT THE ADDRESSES PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION 10.6
[NOTICES] AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED UPON ACTUAL
RECEIPT THEREOF.  EACH OF BORROWER,
AGENT, AND LENDERS WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY ACTION
INSTITUTED AGAINST IT AS PROVIDED HEREIN AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY DEFENSE
BASED ON LACK OF JURISDICTION OR VENUE. 
BORROWER, AGENT AND LENDERS HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
SUIT, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS
AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT OR THE COLLATERAL TO THE FULL EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW.

 

10.17                     Certifications From Lenders
and Participants.

 

10.17.1                                    Tax Withholding.

 

Each
Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under
the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and, upon the
written request of Agent, each other Lender or assignee or participant of a
Lender) agrees that it will deliver to Borrower and Agent 2 duly completed
appropriate valid Withholding Certificates (as defined under § 1.1441-1(c)(16)
of the Income Tax Regulations (the “Regulations”)) certifying its status (i.e.
U.S. or foreign person) and, if appropriate, making a claim of reduced, or
exemption from, U.S. withholding tax on the basis of an income tax treaty or an
exemption provided by the Internal Revenue Code.  The term “Withholding Certificate” means a Form W-9;
a Form W-8BEN; a Form W-8ECI; a Form W-8IMY and the related
statements and certifications as required under § 1.1441-1(e)(2) and/or
(3) of the Regulations; a statement described in §1.871-14(c)(2)(v) of
the Regulations; or any other certificates under the Internal Revenue Code or
Regulations that certify or establish the status of a payee or beneficial owner
as a U.S. or foreign person.  Each
Lender, assignee or participant required to deliver to Borrower and Agent a
Withholding Certificate pursuant to the preceding sentence shall deliver such
valid Withholding Certificate as follows: 
(a) each Lender which is a party hereto on the Closing Date shall
deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least 5 Business Days prior to
the first date on which any interest or fees are payable by Borrower hereunder
for the account of such Lender;  and (b) each

 

81

 

assignee
or participant shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least 5
Business Days before the effective date of such assignment or participation
(unless Agent in its sole discretion shall permit such assignee or participant
to deliver such valid Withholding Certificate less than 5 Business Days before
such date in which case, it shall be due on the date specified by Agent).  Each Lender, assignee or participant which so
delivers a valid Withholding Certificate further undertakes to deliver to
Borrower and Agent 2 additional copies of such Withholding Certificate (or a
successor form) on or before the date that such Withholding Certificate expires
or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in
the most recent Withholding Certificate so delivered by it, and such amendments
thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by
Borrower or Agent.  Notwithstanding the
submission of a Withholding Certificate claiming a reduced rate of or exemption
from U.S. withholding tax, Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States
federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable
judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed
upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the Regulations.  Further, Agent is indemnified under
§ 1.1461-1(e) of the Regulations against any claims and demands of
any Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender for the amount of any tax it
deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the
Internal Revenue Code.

 

10.17.2                                    USA Patriot Act.

 

Each
Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under
the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not
excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of
the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both: (a) an
affiliate of a depository institution or foreign Lender that maintains a
physical presence in the United states or foreign county, and (b) subject
to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository
institution or foreign lender) shall deliver to Agent the certification, or, if
applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and
certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot
Act and the applicable regulations: (i) within 10 days after the Closing
Date, and (ii) at such other times as are required under the USA Patriot
Act.

 

10.18                     Related Entities.

 

Nothing
in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit Whitecap, in the event that no
Availability exists and the Lenders do not increase the Revolving Credit
Commitments to increase Availability, from creating an additional entity for
the purpose of entering the security alarm business and purchasing security
alarm accounts, so long as such entity is separate from Borrower, operates
under a different name, and is not a party to the SAI Servicer Agreement or the
Put-Call Agreement, and no customers or contracts are transferred from Borrower
to such new entity.
