A Person is deemed to be a holder of Transfer

Transfer Restricted Securities.

 

3.                                      Registered Exchange
Offer

 

(a)           Unless
the Exchange Offer shall not be permitted by applicable law or applicable
interpretation of the staff of the Commission, the Company shall (i) cause
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission on or
prior to 150 days after the Closing Date (such 150th day being the “Filing
Deadline”), (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such
Exchange Offer Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission on
or prior to 240 days after the Closing Date (such day being the “Effectiveness
Deadline”), (iii) in connection with the foregoing, (A) file all
pre-effective amendments to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement as may
be necessary in order to cause it to become effective, (B) file, if
applicable, a post-effective amendment to such Exchange Offer Registration
Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act and (C) cause all
necessary filings, if any, in connection with the registration and
qualification of the Exchange Notes to be made under the Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer,
and (iv) upon the effectiveness of such Exchange Offer Registration
Statement, commence and Consummate the Exchange Offer.  The Exchange Offer shall be on the
appropriate form permitting (i) registration of the Exchange Notes to be
offered in exchange for the Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) resales
of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers that tendered into the Exchange Offer Notes
that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Notes acquired
directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates) as contemplated by Section 3(c) below.

 

(b)           The
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously, and shall keep the
Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period required
under applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate the Exchange
Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall such period be
less than twenty (20) Business Days.  The
Company shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal
and state securities laws.  No securities
other than the Exchange Notes shall be included in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement.  The Company
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be
Consummated on the earliest practicable date after the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement has become effective, but in no event later than 270
days after the Closing Date (such day being the “Consummation Deadline”).

 

3

 

(c)           The
Company shall include a “Plan of Distribution” section in the Prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and indicate therein
that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that were
acquired for the account of such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities (other than Notes acquired directly from
the Company or any Affiliate of the Company), may exchange such Transfer
Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer.  Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall
also contain all other information with respect to such sales by such
Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit such sales
pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” section shall not name any
such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Transfer Restricted Securities
held by any such Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required by the Commission
as a result of a change in policy, rules or regulations after the date of
this Agreement.

 

Because such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter”
within the meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting
the requirements of the Act in connection with its initial sale of any Exchange
Notes received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, the Company shall
permit the use of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement by such Broker-Dealer to satisfy such prospectus delivery requirement.  To the extent necessary to ensure that the
prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is available
for sales of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers, the Company agrees to use its
commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and
subject to the provisions of Section 6(a) and (c) hereof and in
conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and
regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period the
earlier of (a) 180 days from the Consummation of the Exchange Offer and (b) such
shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered
by such Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto.  The Company shall provide sufficient copies
of the latest version of such Prospectus to such Broker- Dealers promptly upon
request and, in no event later than one day after such request, at any time
during such period.

 

4.                                      Shelf
Registration

 

(a)           Shelf Registration. 
If (i) the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or
applicable interpretation of the Staff of the Commission or (ii) if any
Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall notify the Company within twenty
(20) Business Days following the Consummation Deadline that (A) such
Holder was prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the
Exchange Offer or (B) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Notes
acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a
prospectus and the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement is not available for such resales by such Holder or (C) such
Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Notes acquired directly from the Company or
any of its Affiliates, then the Company shall:

 

4

 

(x)                                   cause to be filed, on or
prior to 30 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company
determines that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement cannot be filed as a
result of clause (a)(i) above or (ii) the date on which the Company receives
the notice specified in clause (a)(ii) above (such earlier date, the “Filing
Deadline”), a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under
the Act (which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
(the “Shelf Registration Statement”)), relating to all Transfer
Restricted Securities, and

 

(y)                                 shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared
effective by the Commission on or prior to 75 days after the Filing Deadline
for the Shelf Registration Statement (such 75th day the “Effectiveness Deadline”).

 

If, after the Company has filed an Exchange Offer
Registration Statement that satisfies the requirements of Section 3(a) above,
the Company is required to file and make effective a Shelf Registration
Statement solely because the Exchange Offer is not permitted under applicable
federal law (i.e., clause (a)(i) above), then the filing of the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of
clause (x) above; provided that, in such event, the Company shall remain
obligated to meet the Effectiveness Deadline set forth in clause (y).

 

To the extent necessary to ensure that the Shelf
Registration Statement is available for sales of Transfer Restricted Securities
by the Holders thereof entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a) and
the other securities required to be registered therein pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof,
the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep any Shelf
Registration Statement required by this Section 4(a) continuously
effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the
provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof and in conformity with the
requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and
regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of
at least two years (as extended pursuant to Section 6(c)(i)) following the
Closing Date, or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer
Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been
sold pursuant thereto.

 

(b)           Provision By Holders of Certain Information In Connection With The
Shelf Registration Statement. 
No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may include any of its
Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to
this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to the Company in
writing, within 20 days after receipt of a request therefor, the information
specified in Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, of the Act for
use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement, Prospectus,
preliminary Prospectus or “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405)
(an “Issuer FWP”) included therein. 
No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall be entitled to
liquidated damages pursuant to Section 5 hereof unless and until such
Holder shall have provided all such information.  Each selling Holder agrees to promptly
furnish additional information required to be disclosed in order to make the
information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially
misleading.

5.                                      Liquidated
Damages

 

If (i) any Registration Statement required by
this Agreement is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the applicable
Filing Deadline, (ii) any such Registration Statement has not been
declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the applicable
Effectiveness Deadline, (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated
on or prior to the Consummation Deadline or (iv) any Registration
Statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but shall
thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose
without being succeeded within two (2) Business Days by a post-effective
amendment to such Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is
itself declared effective within two (2) Business Days of filing such
post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement (each such event
referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration Default”),
then the Company hereby agrees to pay to each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities affected thereby Liquidated Damages. 
Liquidated Damages shall accrue at an annual rate of 0.25% of the
aggregate principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities on the date of
such Registration Default commencing on the date of such Registration Default,
payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth herein, (1) upon filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
(and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of (i) above,
(2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
(and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of (ii) above,
(3) upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer, in the case of (iii) above,
or (4) upon the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement or an additional Registration Statement that causes the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration
Statement) to again be declared effective or made usable in the case of (iv) above,
the liquidated damages payable with respect to the Transfer Restricted
Securities as a result of such clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), as applicable,
shall cease.

 

All accrued liquidated damages shall be paid to the
Holders entitled thereto, in the manner provided for the payment of interest in
the Indenture, on each Interest Payment Date, as more fully set forth in the Indenture
and the Notes.  Notwithstanding the fact
that any securities for which liquidated damages are due cease to be Transfer
Restricted Securities, all obligations of the Company to pay liquidated damages
with respect to securities shall survive until such time as such obligations
with respect to such securities shall have been satisfied in full.

 

6.                                      Registration
Procedures

 

(a)                                  Exchange Offer Registration
Statement.  In
connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall (x) comply with all
applicable provisions of Section 6(c) below, (y) use its
commercially reasonable efforts to effect such exchange and to permit the
resale of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers that tendered in the Exchange Offer
Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of its
market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Notes acquired
directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates) being sold in accordance
with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and (z) comply
with all of the following provisions:

 

6

 

(i)                                     As a condition
to its participation in the Exchange Offer, each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities (including, without limitation, any Holder who is a Broker-Dealer)
shall furnish, upon the request of the Company, prior to the Consummation of
the Exchange Offer, a written representation to the Company (which may be
contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an Affiliate of
the Company, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in,
and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a
distribution of the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it
is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business.  As a condition to its participation in the
Exchange Offer each Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a
distribution of the Exchange Notes shall acknowledge and agree that, if the
resales are of Exchange Notes obtained by such Holder in exchange for Notes
acquired directly from the Company or an Affiliate thereof, it (1) could
not, under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement, rely
on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan
Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13,
1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman &
Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters, and (2) must
comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act in
connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale
transaction must be covered by an effective registration statement containing
the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as
applicable, of Regulation S-K.

 

(ii)                                  Prior to
effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, if the Commission
so requests, the Company shall provide a supplemental letter to the Commission (A) stating
that the Company is registering the Exchange Offer in reliance on the position
of the Commission enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings
Corporation (available May 13, 1988), Morgan
Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991), as
interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2,
1993, and (B) including a representation that the Company has not entered
into any arrangement or understanding with any Person to distribute the
Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and that, to the best of
the Company’s information and belief, each Holder participating in the Exchange
Offer is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and
has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the
distribution of the Exchange Notes received in the Exchange Offer.

 

(b)                                 Shelf Registration Statement.

 

(i)                                     In connection
with the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall comply with all
applicable provisions of Section 6(c) below and use its commercially
reasonable efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the
Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended
method or methods of distribution thereof (as indicated in the information
furnished to the Company pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof), and
pursuant thereto the Company will prepare and file with the Commission a
Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate form
under the Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Transfer
Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of
distribution thereof within the time periods and otherwise in accordance with
the provisions hereof, and

 

7

 

(ii)                                  issue, upon the
request of any Holder or purchaser of Notes covered by any Shelf Registration
Statement contemplated by this Agreement, Exchange Notes having an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Notes sold pursuant
to the Shelf Registration Statement and surrendered to the Company for cancellation;
the Company shall register Exchange Notes on the Shelf Registration Statement
for this purpose and issue the Exchange Notes to the purchaser(s) of
securities subject to the Shelf Registration Statement in the names such purchaser(s) shall
designate.

 

(c)                                  General Provisions.  In connection with any Registration Statement
and any related Prospectus required by this Agreement, the Company shall:

 

(i)                                     use its
commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously
effective and provide all requisite financial statements for the period
specified in Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement, as applicable.  Upon the occurrence of any event that would
cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to
contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (B) not to be
effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the
period required by this Agreement, the Company shall file promptly an
appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement curing such defect, and,
if Commission review is required, use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such amendment to be declared effective as soon as practicable;

 

(ii)                                  prepare and
file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the
applicable Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration
Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4
hereof, as the case may be; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any
required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
under the Act, and to comply fully with Rules 424, 430A and 462, as applicable,
under the Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Act
with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration
Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method
or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such
Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;

 

(iii)                               advise each
Holder promptly and, if requested by such Holder, confirm such advice in
writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any applicable
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same
has become effective, (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments
to the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or
for additional information relating thereto, (C) of the issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement under the Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission
of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or sale
in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the
preceding purposes, (D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of
any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto or any document
incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any
additions to or changes in the Registration Statement in order to make the
statements therein not misleading, or that requires the making of any additions
to or changes in the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  If at any time the Commission shall issue any
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any
state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order
suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Transfer
Restricted Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal or
lifting of such order at the earliest possible time;

 

8

 

(iv)                              subject to Section 6(c)(i),
if any fact or event contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) above shall
exist or have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated
therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus
will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

 

(v)                                 furnish to each
Holder in connection with such exchange or sale, if any, before filing with the
Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any Prospectus included
therein or any amendments or supplements to any such Registration Statement or
Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference after the initial
filing of such Registration Statement), which documents will be subject to the
reasonable review and comment of such Holders in connection with such sale, if
any, for a period of at least two (2) Business Days, and the Company will
not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all such
documents incorporated by reference) to which such Holders shall reasonably
object within two (2) Business Days after the receipt thereof;

 

(vi)                              make available,
at reasonable times, for inspection by each Holder and any attorney or
accountant retained by such Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents of the Company and cause the Company’s officers, directors
and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such
Holder, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement
or any post-effective amendment thereto subsequent to the filing thereof and
prior to its effectiveness; provided, however, that such persons
shall first agree in writing with the Company that any information that is
reasonably and in good faith designated by the Company in writing as
confidential at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept
confidential by such Persons, unless (i) disclosure of such information is
required by court or administrative order or is necessary to respond to
inquiries of regulatory authorities, (ii) disclosure of such information
is required by law (including any disclosure requirements pursuant to federal
securities laws in connection with the filing of such Registration Statement or
the use of any Prospectus), (iii) such information becomes generally
available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to
safeguard such information by such person or (iv) such information becomes
available to such person from a source other than the Company and its
subsidiaries and such source is not known, after due inquiry, by the relevant
Holder to be bound by a confidentiality agreement; provided  further,
that the foregoing investigation shall be coordinated on behalf of the Holders
by one representative designated by and on behalf of such Holders and any such
confidential information shall be available from such representative to such
Holders so long as any Holder agrees to be bound by such confidentiality
agreement;

 

9

 

(vii)                           if requested by
any Holder in connection with such exchange or sale, promptly include in any
Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or
post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such Holders may reasonably
request to have included therein, including, without limitation, information
relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the Transfer Restricted Securities;
and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment as soon as practicable after the Company is notified of the matters
to be included in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

 

(viii)                        furnish to each
Holder in connection with such exchange or sale, without charge, at least one
copy of the Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of
each amendment thereto, including all documents incorporated by reference
therein and all exhibits (including exhibits incorporated therein by reference);

 

(ix)                                deliver to each
Holder without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each
preliminary prospectus and Issuer FWP) and any amendment or supplement thereto
as such Persons reasonably may request; and hereby consent to the use (in
accordance with law) of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto
by each selling Holder in connection with the offering and the sale of the
Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto;

 

(x)                                   upon the
request of any Holder, enter into such agreements (including underwriting
agreements) and make such representations and warranties and take all such
other actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the
disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any applicable
Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement as may be reasonably
requested by any Holder in connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any
applicable Registration Statement.  In
such connection, the Company shall:

 

(A)                              upon request of
any Holder, furnish (or in the case of paragraphs (2) and (3), use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be furnished) to the Holders, upon
Consummation of the Exchange Offer or upon the effectiveness of the Shelf
Registration Statement, as the case may be:

 

(1)                                  a certificate, dated such date, signed on behalf of the Company by (x) the President or
any Executive Vice President and (y) a principal
financial or accounting officer of the Company, confirming, as of the date
thereof, the matters set forth in Sections 7(d)-(f) of
the Purchase Agreement and such other similar matters as such Holders may reasonably
request;

 

10

 

(2)                                  an opinion, dated the date
of Consummation of the Exchange Offer or the date of effectiveness of the Shelf
Registration Statement, as the case may be, of counsel for the Company covering
matters customarily covered in opinions requested in similar sales of
securities or underwritten offerings;

 

(3)                                  a customary comfort letter,
dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, or as of the date of effectiveness
of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, from the Company’s independent
accountants, in the customary form and covering matters of the type customarily
covered in comfort letters to underwriters in connection with similar
underwritten offerings; and

 

(B)                                deliver such
other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the selling
Holders to evidence compliance with the matters covered in clause (A) above
and with any customary conditions contained in the any agreement entered into
by the Company pursuant to this clause (x);

 

(xi)                                prior to any
public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities,
cooperate with the selling Holders and their counsel in connection with the
registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the
securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling Holders may
request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to
enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted
Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to register or qualify as a foreign
corporation where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would
subject it to the service of process in suits or to taxation, other than as to
matters and transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any
jurisdiction where it is not now so subject;

 

(xii)                             in connection
with any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities that will result in such
securities no longer being Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with the
Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not bearing any
restrictive legends; and to register such Transfer Restricted Securities in
such denominations and such names as the selling Holders may request at least
two (2) Business Days prior to such sale of Transfer Restricted
Securities;

 

(xiii)                          use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the disposition of the Transfer
Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be
necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition
of such Transfer Restricted Securities, subject to the proviso contained in
clause (xi) above;

 

11

 

(xiv)                         provide a CUSIP
number for all Transfer Restricted Securities not later than the effective date
of a Registration Statement covering such Transfer Restricted Securities and
provide the Trustee under the Indenture with printed certificates for the
Transfer Restricted Securities which are in a form eligible for deposit with
The Depository Trust Company;

 

(xv)                            otherwise use
its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its security
holders with regard to any applicable Registration Statement, as soon as
practicable, a consolidated earnings statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158
(which need not be audited) covering a twelve-month period beginning after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (as such term is defined in
paragraph (c) of Rule 158 under the Act);

 

(xvi)                         cause the
Indenture to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective date of
the first Registration Statement required by this Agreement and, in connection
therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to
the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in
accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute and use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be
required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to
be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a
timely manner; and

 

(xvii)                      provide
promptly to each Holder, upon request, each document filed with the Commission
pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act.

 

(d)                                 Restrictions On Holders.  Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a
Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of the notice referred to in Section 6(c)(iii)(C) or
any notice from the Company of the existence of any fact of the kind described
in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof (in each case, a “Suspension Notice”),
such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted
Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until (i) such
Holder has received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
contemplated by Section 6(c)(iv) hereof, or (ii) such Holder is
advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be
resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that
are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (in each case, the “Recommencement
Date”).  Each Holder receiving a
Suspension Notice hereby agrees that it will either (i) destroy any
Prospectuses, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s
possession which have been replaced by the Company with more recently dated
Prospectuses or (ii) deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all
copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession of
the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that were current
at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice.  The time period regarding the effectiveness
of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as
applicable, shall be extended by a number of days equal to the number of days
in the period from and including the date of delivery of the Suspension Notice
to the date of delivery of the Recommencement Date.

7.                                      Registration
Expenses

 

(a)                                  All expenses incident to the
Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the
Company, regardless of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective,
including without limitation:  (i) all
registration and filing fees and expenses; (ii) all fees and expenses of
compliance with federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws; (iii) all
expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Exchange Notes to
be issued in the Exchange Offer) and printing of Prospectuses, messenger and
delivery services and telephone; (iv) all reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company and, subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 7(b), the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities; (v) all
application and filing fees in connection with listing the Exchange Notes on a
national securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the
requirements hereof; and (vi) all reasonable fees and disbursements of
independent certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses
of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such
performance).

 

The Company will, in any event, bear its internal
expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its
officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of
any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special
experts, retained by the Company.

 

(b)                                 In connection with any
Registration Statement required by this Agreement (including, without
limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the Shelf
Registration Statement), the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers and
the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities who are tendering Notes in the
Exchange Offer and/or selling or reselling Notes or Exchange Notes pursuant to
the “Plan of Distribution” section contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the
reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel, who shall be
Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, unless another
firm shall be chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Registration Statement is
being prepared.

 

8.                                      Indemnification

 

(a)                                  The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its directors, officers and each
Person, if any, who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15
of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, caused by any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, Issuer FWP or Prospectus (or
any amendment or supplement thereto) provided by the Company to any Holder or
any prospective purchaser of Exchange Notes or registered Notes, or caused by
any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments are
caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission that is based upon information relating to any of the Holders
furnished in writing to the Company by any of the Holders.

 

13

 

(b)                                 Each Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company and its directors and officers, and each person, if any,
who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act) the Company, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity
from the Company set forth in Section (a) above, but only with
reference to information relating to such Holder furnished in writing to the
Company by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement.  In no event shall any Holder, its directors, officers
or any Person who controls such Holder be liable or responsible for any amount
in excess of the amount by which the total amount received by such Holder with
respect to its sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a
Registration Statement exceeds (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such
Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) the amount of any damages that
such Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who controls such Holder has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission.

 

(c)                                  In case any action shall be
commenced involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought
pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) (the “Indemnified Party”),
the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the person against whom such
indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing and the
Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such action, including the
employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment
of all fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that in the case
of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to both
Sections 8(a) and 8(b), a Holder shall not be required to assume the
defense of such action pursuant to this Section 8(c), but may employ
separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel, except as provided below, shall be at the expense of
the Holder).  Any Indemnified Party shall
have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in
the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of such counsel
shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the
Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or
employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party or (iii) the
named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both
the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party
shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal
defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available
to the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have
the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified
Party).  In any such case, the
Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but
substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out
of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to one
separate firm of local counsel in each such jurisdiction) for all Indemnified
Parties and all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are
incurred.  Such firm shall be designated
in writing by a majority of the Holders, in the case of the parties indemnified
pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties
indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). 
The Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified
Party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
judgments by reason of any settlement of any action (i) effected with its
written consent or (ii) effected without its written consent if the
settlement is entered into more than forty (40) Business Days after the
Indemnifying Party shall have received a request from the Indemnified Party for
reimbursement for the fees and expenses of counsel (in any case where such fees
and expenses are at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) and, prior to the
date of such settlement, the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to comply
with such reimbursement request.  No
Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of
judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action in respect of which
the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity or
contribution may be or could have been sought hereunder by the Indemnified
Party, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an
unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability on claims
that are or could have been the subject matter of such action and (ii) does
not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a
failure to act, by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

 

14

 

(d)                                 To the extent that the
indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an
Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
judgments referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of
indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or judgments (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the
Holders, on the other hand, from their sale of Transfer Restricted Securities
or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) is not permitted
by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the
relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other
hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations.  The
relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other
hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the Company, on the one hand, or by the Holder, on the other hand, and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and judgments referred to above shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(c), any legal
or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with
investigating or defending any action or claim.

 

The Company and each Holder agree that it would not
be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were
determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity
for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph.  The amount paid or payable by
an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
judgments referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with
investigating or defending any matter, including any action that could have
given rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8,
no Holder, its directors, its officers or any Person, if any, who controls such
Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess
of the amount by which the total received by such Holder with respect to the
sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds
(i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities
and (ii) the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required
to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission.  No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty
of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are
several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Transfer Restricted
Securities held by each Holder hereunder and not joint.

 

15

 

9.                                      Rule 144A
and Rule 144

 

The Company agrees with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer
Restricted Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which the
Company (i) is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, to make available, upon request of any Holder, to such Holder or beneficial
owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and
any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities designated by
such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under
the Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities
pursuant to Rule 144A, and (ii) is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, to make all filings required thereby in a timely manner in
order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144.

 

10.                               Miscellaneous

 

(a)           Remedies.  The
Liquidated Damages contemplated hereby shall be the exclusive remedy available
to Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities for any failure by the Company to
comply with the registration requirements of this Agreement.

 

(b)           No Inconsistent Agreements. 
The Company will not, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into
any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the
rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the
provisions hereof.  The Company has not
previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with
respect to its securities to any Person. 
The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict
with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the
Company’s securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof.

 

(c)           Amendments and Waivers. 
The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions
hereof may not be given unless the Company has obtained the written consent of
Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer
Restricted Securities (excluding Transfer Restricted Securities held by the
Company or its Affiliates).  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the
provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose
Transfer Restricted Securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange
Offer, and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other
Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are not being tendered pursuant to
such Exchange Offer, may be given by the Holders of a majority of the
outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities subject to such
Exchange Offer.

 

(d)           Third Party Beneficiary. 
The Holders shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreements made
hereunder between the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on
the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to
the extent they may deem such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect
their rights.

 

16

Securities in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such
Transfer Restricted Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of

such Person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to
perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the
restrictions on resale set forth in this Agreement and, if applicable, the
Purchase Agreement, and such Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits
hereof.

 

17

 

(g)           Counterparts.  This

hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed
to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
same agreement.  Delivery of an executed

RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAWS OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK.

 

(j)            Severability.  In the
event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the
application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision
in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall
not be affected or impaired thereby.

exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in
respect of the subject matter contained herein.

interest rate margin” applicable to such new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans
by more than 0.50%, the margin per annum (expressed as a percentage) determined

required to cause the “effective interest rate margin” applicable to such then
existing Tranche of Term Loans to equal (i) the “effective interest rate
margin” applicable to such newly created Tranche of Incremental Term Loans

period ending on the last day of such Fiscal Quarter pursuant to Section 6.1(iii),
and (ii) “Pricing Period” means each period commencing on the first
Business Day after the delivery to Administrative Agent of a Pricing

a Compliance Certificate in respect of the Fiscal Quarter ending June 30,
2010, and the Pricing Certificate in respect of the first Pricing Period may be
delivered at any time on or after such date and shall relate to the most recent
financial statements delivered by Company to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.1(i),
(b) the Applicable Leverage Ratio for the period from the Closing Date to
but excluding the date of commencement of the first Pricing Period shall be

Compliance Certificate or a Pricing Certificate delivered after the Cutoff
Date) that the Applicable Leverage Ratio that would have been in effect if
Company had delivered a Pricing Certificate on the Cutoff Date is greater than
the Consolidated Leverage Ratio set forth in the most recent Pricing
Certificate actually delivered by Company, then (1) the Applicable
Leverage Ratio in effect for the period from the Cutoff Date to the date of
delivery by Company of the next Pricing Certificate (or, if earlier, the next
date on which an Agent Determination is made) shall be the Consolidated
Leverage Ratio determined pursuant to the Agent Determination and (2) on
the first Business Day after Administrative Agent delivers written notice to
Company of any Agent Determination, Company shall pay to Administrative Agent,
for distribution (as appropriate) to Lenders, an aggregate amount equal to the
additional interest and letter of credit fees Company would have been required
to pay in respect of all Loans or Letters of Credit in respect of which any
interest or Fees have been paid by Company during the period from the Cutoff
Date to the date such notice is given by Administrative Agent to Company if the
amount of such interest and fees had been calculated using the Applicable
Leverage Ratio based on such Agent Determination.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
above in this definition or elsewhere in this Agreement, if it is subsequently
determined that the Consolidated Leverage Ratio set forth in any Pricing
Certificate delivered for any period is inaccurate for any reason and the
result thereof is that the Lenders received interest for any period based on an
Applicable Revolving LIBOR Margin or an Applicable Revolving Base Rate Margin
that is less than that which would have been applicable had the Consolidated
Leverage Ratio been accurately determined, then, for all purposes of this
Agreement, the “Applicable Revolving LIBOR Margin” and the “Applicable
Revolving Base Rate Margin” for any day occurring within the period covered by
such Pricing Certificate shall retroactively be deemed to be the relevant
percentage as based upon the accurately determined Consolidated Leverage Ratio
for such period, and any shortfall in the interest theretofore paid by Company
for the relevant period pursuant to Sections 2.2A(ii)(a) and 2.2A(ii)(b) as
a result of the miscalculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be
deemed to be (and shall be) due and payable under the relevant provisions of Section 2.2A(ii)(a) or
2.2A(ii)(b), as applicable, at the time the interest or fees for such period
were required to be paid pursuant to said Section on the same basis as if
the Consolidated Leverage Ratio had been accurately set forth in such Pricing
Certificate (and shall remain due and payable until paid in full, together with
all amounts owing under Section 2.2E, in accordance with the terms of this

expire on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and all Revolving Loans and all
other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Revolving Loans and the
Revolving Loan Commitments shall be paid in full no later than that date.  Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.1A(ii) may
be repaid and reborrowed to but excluding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

 

42

 

Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments shall
be subject to the limitation that in no event shall the Total Utilization of
Revolving Loan Commitments at any time exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments
then in effect.

 

(iii)          Swing Line Loans.  Swing Line Lender hereby agrees, subject to
the limitations set forth below with respect to the maximum amount of Swing
Line Loans permitted to be outstanding from time to time, to make a portion of
the Revolving Loan Commitments available to Company from time to time during
the period on and after the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan
Maturity Date by making Swing Line Loans to Company in an aggregate amount not
exceeding the amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment to be used for the
purposes identified in Section 2.5B, notwithstanding the fact that such
Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with Swing Line Lender’s outstanding
Revolving Loans and Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
the Letter of Credit Usage then in effect, may exceed Swing Line Lender’s
Revolving Loan Commitment.  The original
amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment is $10,000,000; provided that
any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments made pursuant to Section 2.4B(ii) or
2.4B(v) which reduces the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments to an
amount less than the then current amount of the Swing Line Loan Commitment
shall result in an automatic corresponding reduction of the Swing Line Loan
Commitment to the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments, as so reduced,
without any further action on the part of Company, Administrative Agent or
Swing Line Lender.  The Swing Line Loan
Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and all Swing Line
Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swing Line Loans
shall be paid in full no later than that date. 
Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.1A(iii) may be repaid
and reborrowed to but excluding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

 

Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Swing Line Loans and the Swing Line Loan Commitment shall
be subject to the limitation that in no event shall the Total Utilization of
Revolving Loan Commitments at any time exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments
then in effect.

 

43

 

With respect to any Swing Line Loans which have not
been voluntarily prepaid by Company pursuant to Section 2.4B(i), Swing
Line Lender may, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to
Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (with a copy to Company), no later
than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the first Business Day in advance
of the proposed Funding Date, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Notice of
Borrowing given by Company and shall be deemed given on Friday of each week
regardless of whether an actual Notice of Borrowing is so delivered) requesting
Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on such Funding Date
in an amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded
Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given which Swing
Line Lender requests Lenders to prepay. 
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the
proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Lenders other than Swing Line Lender
shall be immediately delivered by Administrative Agent to Swing Line Lender
(and not to Company) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the
Refunded Swing Line Loans and (ii) on the day such Revolving Loans are
made, Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Refunded
Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving
Loan made by Swing Line Lender, and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed
to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no
longer be due under the Swing Line Note, if any, of Swing Line Lender but shall
instead constitute part of Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans and
shall be due under the Revolving Note, if any, of Swing Line Lender.  If any portion of any such amount paid (or
deemed to be paid) to Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of
Company from Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of
creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably
shared among all Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 10.5.

 

If for any reason the Revolving Loan Commitments are
terminated at a time when any Swing Line Loans are outstanding, each Lender
shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have purchased a participation in
such outstanding Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to its Pro Rata
Share (calculated immediately prior to such termination of the Revolving Loan
Commitments) of the unpaid amount of such Swing Line Loans together with
accrued interest thereon.  Upon one
Business Day’s notice from Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall deliver to
Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in same day
funds at the Funding and Payment Office. 
In order to further evidence such participation (and without prejudice
to the effectiveness of the participation provisions set forth above), each
Lender agrees to enter into a separate participation agreement at the request
of Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such
Lender and Swing Line Lender.  In the
event any Lender fails to make available to Swing Line Lender the amount of
such Lender’s participation as provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender
shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three Business
Days and thereafter at the Base Rate.  In
the event Swing Line Lender receives a payment of any amount in which other
Lenders have purchased participations as provided in this paragraph, Swing Line
Lender shall promptly distribute to each such other Lender its Pro Rata
Share of such payment.

 

Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans for the
purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to the second preceding
paragraph and each Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any
unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall
be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
right which such Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, Company or any
other Person for any reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuation
of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default; (c) any adverse
change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or
otherwise) or prospects of Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (d) any
breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; or (e) any
other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing.

 

44

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 2.1A(iii), (a) Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated
to make any Swing Line Loans at a time when a Funding Default exists with
respect to Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment unless Swing Line Lender
has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Company to eliminate the
Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to each Defaulting Lender’s participation
in such Swing Line Loans (which arrangements are hereby consented to by the Lenders),
including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s respective Pro Rata
Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans (such arrangements, the “Swing
Line Back-Stop Arrangements”), and (b) Swing Line Lender shall not
make any Swing Line Loan after it has received written notice from Company, any
other Loan Party or the Requisite Lenders stating that a Potential Event of
Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the
Swing Line Lender shall have received written notice (X) of rescission of
all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or
notices or (Y) of the waiver of such Potential Event of Default or Event
of Default by the Requisite Lenders.

 

(iv)          Incremental Term Loans.  Subject to and upon the terms and conditions
set forth herein, each Lender with an Incremental Term Loan Commitment for a
given Tranche of Incremental Term Loans severally agrees to make a term loan or
term loans (each, an “Incremental Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Incremental
Term Loans”) to Company, which Incremental Term Loans (i) shall be
incurred pursuant to a single drawing on the respective Incremental Term Loan
Funding Date, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) except as
hereinafter provided, shall, at the option of Company, be incurred and
maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, and (iv) shall
not exceed for any such Incremental Term Loan Lender at any time of any
incurrence thereof, the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental
Term Loan Lender for such Tranche on the respective Incremental Term Loan
Funding Date.  Once repaid, Incremental
Term Loans may not be reborrowed. The Incremental Term Loan Commitments under a given Tranche (and the
Incremental Term Loan Commitment of each Lender in respect of such Tranche)
shall terminate in its entirety on the Incremental Term Loan Funding Date for
such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (after giving effect to the incurrence
of the Incremental Term Loans of such Tranche on such date).

 

45

 

B.            Borrowing Mechanics.  Term Loans under a respective Tranche made on
any Funding Date as Base Rate Loans or as LIBOR Loans with a particular
Interest Period shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and
integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount.  Revolving Loans (other than Revolving Loans
made pursuant to a request by Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.1A(iii) for
the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans) made on any Funding Date
shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of
$100,000 in excess of that amount.  Swing
Line Loans made on any Funding Date shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of
$500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.  Whenever Company desires that Lenders make
Term Loans (whether Initial Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans) or Revolving
Loans (excluding Refunded Swing Line Loans) to Company it shall deliver to
Administrative Agent at the Notice Office a Notice of Borrowing no later than
11:00 A.M. (New York City time) at least three Business Days in advance of
the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a LIBOR Loan) or at least one
Business Day in advance of the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a Base
Rate Loan).  Whenever Company desires
that Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan, it shall deliver to
Administrative Agent at the Notice Office a Notice of Borrowing no later than
1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the proposed Funding Date.  The Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i) the
proposed Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of
such borrowing requested and whether the respective borrowing shall consist of
Initial Term Loans, Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans or Incremental Term
Loans, and if Incremental Term Loans, the specific Tranche thereof, (iii) in
the case of Swing Line Loans and any Loans made on the Closing Date, that such
Loans shall be Base Rate Loans, (iv) in the case of Revolving Loans not
made on the Closing Date, whether such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans or LIBOR
Loans, and (v) in the case of any Loans requested to be made as LIBOR
Loans, the initial Interest Period requested therefor.  Term Loans and Revolving Loans may be
continued as or converted into Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans in the manner
provided in Section 2.2D; provided that unless Administrative Agent has otherwise agreed
or has determined that the Syndication Date has occurred (at which time this proviso
shall no longer be applicable), LIBOR Loans may only have an Interest Period of
one month, and the first Funding Date with respect to Loans maintained as LIBOR
Loans may occur no earlier than three Business Days following the Closing Date,
with all subsequent Funding Dates with respect to Loans maintained as LIBOR
Loans to occur on the last day of the preceding one month Interest Period
theretofore in effect.  In
lieu of delivering the above-described Notice of Borrowing, Company may give
Administrative Agent telephonic notice of the required time of any borrowing
under this Section 2.1B; provided that such notice shall be
promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice of Borrowing to
Administrative Agent on or before the applicable Funding Date.  Administrative Agent shall promptly give each
Lender which is required to make Loans of the Tranche specified in the
respective Notice of Borrowing, written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) of each proposed borrowing, of such Lender’s
proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by this Section 2.1B
to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

 

Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall
incur any liability to Company in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to
above that Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a
duly authorized officer or other person authorized to borrow on behalf of
Company or for otherwise acting in good faith under this Section 2.1B, and
upon funding of Loans by Lenders in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to
any such telephonic notice Company shall have effected Loans hereunder.

 

Company shall notify Administrative Agent prior to the
funding of any Loans in the event that any of the matters to which Company is
required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing is no longer true and
correct as of the applicable Funding Date, and the acceptance by Company of the
proceeds of any Loans shall constitute a re-certification by Company, as of the
applicable Funding Date, as to matters to which Company is required to certify
in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

 

46

 

C.            Disbursement of Funds.  All Term Loans, Revolving Loans and
Incremental Term Loans under this Agreement shall be made by Lenders with a
Commitment under the respective Tranche of Loan simultaneously and
proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it
being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any
other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested
hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender to make the particular Tranche
of Loan requested be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any
other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested
hereunder.  Promptly after receipt by
Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.1B (or
telephonic notice in lieu thereof), Administrative Agent shall notify each
Lender or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, of the proposed
borrowing.  Each Lender shall make the
amount of its Loan available to Administrative Agent in Dollars not later than
1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date, and Swing
Line Lender shall make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to
Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the
applicable Funding Date, in each case in same day funds in Dollars, at the
Funding and Payment Office for such Loans. 
Except as provided in Section 2.1A(iii) with respect to
Revolving Loans used to repay Refunded Swing Line Loans, upon satisfaction or
waiver of the conditions precedent specified in Sections 4.1 (in the case of
Loans made on the Closing Date) and 4.2 (in the case of all Loans),
Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Loans available to Company
on the applicable Funding Date by causing an amount of same day funds in
Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by Administrative
Agent from Lenders or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, to be credited to
the account of Company at the Funding and Payment Office for such Loans; provided
that if, on any Funding Date of
Revolving Loans (other than a Refunded Swing Line Loans), there are Unpaid
Drawings or Swing Line Loans then outstanding, then the proceeds of such
Revolving Loans shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any
such Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit, second, to the
payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans, and third, to Company as
otherwise provided above.

 

Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified
by any Lender prior to the Funding Date for any Loans that such Lender does not
intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s
Loan requested on such Funding Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Funding
Date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be
obligated to, make available to Company a corresponding amount in Dollars on
such Funding Date.  If such corresponding
amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender,
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on
demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such
Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent in
Dollars, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three Business Days and
thereafter at the Base Rate.  If such
Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative
Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Company,
and Company shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative
Agent together with interest thereon, all in Dollars, for each day from such
Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the
rate payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans.  Nothing in this Section 2.1C shall be
deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments
hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Company may have against any Lender
as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

 

47

 

D.            The Register.

 

(i)            Company hereby designates
Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely for the purposes of this Section 2.1D,
to maintain, at its address referred to in Section 10.7, a register for
the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitments and
Loans (whether or not separately evidenced by one or more Notes) of each Lender
from time to time (the “Register”). 
The Register shall be available for inspection by Company or any Lender
(in the case of any such Lender, only in respect of its Commitments and
Obligations) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

 

(ii)           Administrative Agent shall
record in the Register the Initial Term Loan Commitment and Revolving Loan
Commitment and the Initial Term Loans and Revolving Loans from time to time of
each Lender, the Swing Line Loan Commitment and the Swing Line Loans from time
to time of Swing Line Lender, the Incremental Term Loan Commitment and
Incremental Term Loans from time to time of each Incremental Term Loan Lender,
and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Term
Loans or Revolving Loans of each Lender, the Swing Line Loans of Swing Line
Lender or the Incremental Term Loans of each Incremental Term Loan Lender.  Any such recordation shall be conclusive and
binding on Company and each Lender, absent clearly demonstrable error; provided
that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation,
shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or Company’s Obligations in respect
of any applicable Loans.

 

(iii)          Each Lender shall record on
its internal records (including any Notes held by such Lender) the amount of
each Term Loan, Revolving Loan and Incremental Term Loan (if any) made by it
and each payment in respect thereof.  Any
such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company, absent clearly
demonstrable error; provided that failure to make any such recordation,
or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or
Company’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided, further
that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s
records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

 

(iv)          Company, Administrative
Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the
Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans
listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any
such Commitment or the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan
shall be effective, in each case unless and until an Assignment Agreement
effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have

 

48

 

been accepted by Administrative Agent and
recorded in the Register as provided in Section 10.1B.  Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed
with respect to the applicable Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender
listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or
consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such
authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive
and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the
corresponding Commitments or Loans. 
Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment Agreement to
Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer
of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning
or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan,
and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount
shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at
the request of any such Lender.

 

(v)           Company hereby designates
Administrative Agent to serve as its agent solely for purposes of maintaining
the Register as provided in this Section 2.1D, and Company hereby agrees
that, to the extent Administrative Agent serves in such capacity,
Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and
Affiliates shall constitute Indemnified Persons for all purposes under Section 10.2.

 

E.             Optional Notes.  Upon the request of any Lender made through
Administrative Agent at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date or at
any time after the Closing Date, Company shall execute and deliver to such
Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person
who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.1) on the Closing
Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after
Company’s receipt of such notice) a promissory note or promissory notes to
evidence such Lender’s Initial Term Loans, Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans or
Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, substantially in the form of Exhibit IV, Exhibit V, Exhibit VI or Exhibit VII annexed
hereto, respectively, with appropriate insertions.

 

2.2           Interest on the Loans.

 

A.            Rate of Interest.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.6 and
2.7, each Term Loan and each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid
principal amount thereof from the date made to maturity (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) of such Loan at a rate determined by reference to
the Base Rate or LIBOR.  Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.7, each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the
unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) at a rate determined by reference to the Base
Rate.  The applicable basis for
determining the rate of interest with respect to any Initial Term Loan, any
Revolving Loan or any Incremental Term Loan shall be selected by Company
initially at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given with respect to such Loan
pursuant to Section 2.1B, and the basis for determining the interest rate
with respect to any Initial Term Loan, any Revolving Loan or any Incremental
Term Loan may be changed from time to time pursuant to Section 2.2D.  Subject to the last proviso to the first
paragraph of Section 2.2D, if on any day an Initial Term Loan, Revolving
Loan or Incremental Term Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has
not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest,
then for that day that Loan shall bear interest determined by reference to the
Base Rate.

 

49

 

(i)            Subject to the provisions of
Sections 2.2E and 2.7, the Term Loans shall bear interest through maturity, as
follows:

 

(a)           if a Base Rate Loan, then at
a rate per annum which shall at all times be equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus
the relevant Applicable Term Loan Base Rate Margin for the relevant Tranche of
Term Loan, each as in effect from time to time; or

 

(b)           if a LIBOR Loan, then at a
rate per annum which shall at all times, during the Interest Period applicable
thereto, be equal to the sum of LIBOR applicable to such Interest Period plus
the relevant Applicable Term Loan LIBOR Margin for the relevant Tranche of Term
Loan.

 

(ii)           Subject to the provisions of
Sections 2.2E and 2.7, the Revolving Loans shall bear interest through maturity
as follows:

 

(a)           if a Base Rate Loan, then at
a rate per annum which shall at all times be equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus
the Applicable Revolving Base Rate Margin; or

 

(b)           if a LIBOR Loan, then at a
rate per annum which shall at all times, during the Interest Period applicable
thereto, be equal to the sum of LIBOR applicable to such Interest Period plus
the Applicable Revolving LIBOR Margin.

 

(iii)          Subject to the provisions of
Sections 2.2E and 2.7, the Swing Line Loans shall bear interest through
maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall
be equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Revolving Base
Rate Margin minus the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage.

 

B.            Interest Periods.  In connection with each LIBOR Loan, Company
may, pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, select an interest period (each an
“Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period
shall be, at Company’s option, either a one, two, three or six month period or,
with respect to the Loans of any Tranche, to the extent approved by each Lender
with outstanding Loans and/or Commitments under such Tranche, a nine or twelve
month period (or such other periods less than one month agreed to by
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); provided that:

 

(i)            the initial Interest Period
for any LIBOR Loan shall commence on the Funding Date in respect of such Loan,
in the case of a Loan initially made as a LIBOR Loan, or on the date specified
in the applicable Notice of Conversion/Continuation, in the case of a Loan converted
to a LIBOR Loan;

 

50

 

(ii)           in the case of immediately
successive Interest Periods applicable to a LIBOR Loan continued as such
pursuant to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, each successive Interest Period
shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

 

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

 

(iv)          any Interest Period that
begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which
there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of
such Interest Period) shall, subject to clauses (v) and (vi) of this Section 2.2B,
end on the last Business Day of a calendar month;

 

(v)           no Interest Period with
respect to any portion of Initial Term Loans shall extend beyond the Initial
Term Loan Maturity Date, no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the
Revolving Loans shall extend beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and no
Interest Period with respect to any portion of Incremental Term Loans shall
extend beyond the respective Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date;

 

(vi)          no Interest Period with
respect to any portion of any Tranche of Term Loans shall extend beyond a date
on which Company is required to make a Scheduled Repayment of principal of the
respective Tranche of Term Loans, unless the sum of (a) the aggregate
principal amount of such Tranche of Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans plus
(b) the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche of Term Loans that are
LIBOR Loans with Interest Periods expiring on or before such date equals or
exceeds the aggregate principal amount required to be paid in respect of such
Tranche of the Term Loans on such date;

 

(vii)         there shall be no more than
15 Interest Periods outstanding at any time (20 if any Incremental Term Loans
are outstanding at such time); and

 

(viii)        in the event Company fails
to specify an Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in the applicable Notice of
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month.

 

C.            Interest Payments.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2E,
interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on and to each Interest
Payment Date applicable to that Loan, upon any prepayment of that Loan (to the
extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and at maturity (including final
maturity); provided that in the event any Swing Line Loans or any
Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans are prepaid pursuant to Section 2.4B,
interest accrued on such Swing Line Loans or Revolving Loans through the date
of such prepayment shall be payable on the next succeeding Interest Payment
Date applicable to Base Rate Loans (or, if earlier, at final maturity).

 

51

 

D.            Conversion or Continuation.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6,
(i) Company shall have the option to convert on any Business Day all or
any part of its outstanding Term Loans or Revolving Loans under a single
Tranche equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of
that amount from Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to
one basis to Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to an
alternative basis and (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period
applicable to a LIBOR Loan, Company shall have the option to continue as a
LIBOR Loan all or any portion of such Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral
multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount; provided, however,
that if, upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR
Loan, Company shall have failed to give a Notice of Conversion/Continuation
with respect to such LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section 2.2D,
Company shall be deemed to have given a timely Notice of
Conversion/Continuation electing to continue such LIBOR Loan as a LIBOR Loan
with an Interest Period of one month; and provided, further,
no partial conversion of a borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the
outstanding principal amount of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such borrowing to
less than $5,000,000.  Borrowings of
LIBOR Loans resulting from this Section 2.2D shall be limited in number as
provided in Section 2.1B.

 

Company shall deliver a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent at the Notice Office no later
than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance
of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate
Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed
conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation
of, a LIBOR Loan).  A Notice of
Conversion/Continuation shall specify (i) the proposed conversion/continuation
date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount and type of the Loan
to be converted/continued, (iii) the nature of the proposed
conversion/continuation, (iv) in the case of a conversion to, or a
continuation of, a LIBOR Loan, the requested Interest Period, and (v) in
the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a LIBOR Loan, that no
Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.  In lieu of delivering the
above-described Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company may give
Administrative Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed
conversion/continuation under this Section 2.2D; provided that such
notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent on or before the proposed
conversion/continuation date.  Upon
receipt of written or telephonic notice of any proposed conversion/continuation
under this Section 2.2D, Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit such
notice by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender.

 

Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall
incur any liability to Company in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to
above that Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a
duly authorized officer or other person authorized to act on behalf of Company
or for otherwise acting in good faith under this Section 2.2D, and upon
conversion or continuation of the applicable basis for determining the interest
rate with respect to any Loans in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to
any such telephonic notice Company shall have effected a conversion or
continuation, as the case may be, hereunder.

 

52

 

Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.6B, 2.6C
and 2.6F, a Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or
continuation of, a LIBOR Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be
irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and
Company shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance
therewith.

 

E.             Default Interest.  Any principal payments on the Loans not paid
when due and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments
on the Loans, the Notes, the Unpaid Drawings, or any Fees or other amounts owed
hereunder not paid when due, in each case whether at stated maturity, by notice
of prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise, shall thereafter bear interest
(including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code
or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate per annum
equal to the greater of (x) the
rate which is 2.00% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans and (y) the
rate which is 2.00% in excess of the rate otherwise payable under this
Agreement for Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche from time to time.  Interest that accrues under this Section 2.2E
shall be payable on demand.  Payment or acceptance of the increased rates
of interest provided for in this Section 2.2E is not a permitted
alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of
Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of
Administrative Agent or any Lender.

 

F.             Computation of Interest.  Interest on the Loans shall be computed (i) in
the case of Base Rate Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference
to the Prime Rate, on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may
be, and (ii) in the case of LIBOR Loans and Base Rate Loans bearing
interest at a rate determined by reference to the Federal Funds Effective Rate
or LIBOR, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of
days elapsed in the period during which it accrues.  In computing interest on any Loan, the date
of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to
such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a LIBOR
Loan, the date of conversion of such LIBOR Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the
case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the
expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect
to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a LIBOR Loan, the date of conversion of
such Base Rate Loan to such LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided
that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s
interest shall be paid on that Loan.

 

2.3           Fees.

 

A.            Commitment Fees.  Company agrees to pay to Administrative
Agent, for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender having a Revolving Loan
Commitment in proportion to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share, a
commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for the period from and including
the Closing Date to and excluding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date equal to the
daily excess of the Revolving Loan Commitments over the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Usage (but not any
outstanding Swing Line Loans) multiplied by the Applicable
Commitment Fee Percentage, such Commitment Fee to be payable quarterly in
arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15
of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing
Date, and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

 

53

 

B.            Company agrees
to pay to Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender
having a Revolving Loan Commitment (based on each such Lender’s respective Pro Rata
Share) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”)
for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit
to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of
Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Revolving LIBOR
Margin as in effect from time to time during such period on the daily Stated
Amount of each such Letter of Credit. 
Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15
of each year and on the first day on or after the termination of the Revolving
Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

 

C.            Company agrees to pay to
each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee in respect of each
Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Facing Fee”) for the period from and
including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the
date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate
per annum equal to 1/4 of 1% on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of
Credit, provided that in any event the minimum amount of Facing Fees
payable in any twelve-month period for each Letter of Credit shall be not less
than $500, it being agreed that, on the day of issuance of any Letter of Credit
and on each anniversary thereof prior to the termination or expiration of such
Letter of Credit, if $500 will exceed the amount of Facing Fees that will
accrue with respect to such Letter of Credit for the immediately succeeding
twelve-month period, the full $500 shall be payable on the date of issuance of
such Letter of Credit and on each such anniversary thereof.  Except as otherwise provided in the proviso
to the immediately preceding sentence, accrued Facing Fees shall be due and
payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15
and December 15 of each year and upon the first day on or after the
termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments upon which no Letters of Credit
remain outstanding.

 

D.            Other Letter of Credit Fees.  Company agrees, with respect to the issuance,
amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each payment of a drawing
made thereunder, to pay customary documentary and processing charges payable
directly to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account in accordance with
such Issuing Lender’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time
of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.

 

E.             Other Fees.  Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent
and Syndication Agents such other fees in the amounts and at the times
separately agreed upon between Company and Administrative Agent and Syndication
Agents, as the case may be.

 

F.             All computations of Fees
hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual
number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day; except that
in the case of Letter of Credit Fees and Facing Fees, the last day shall be
included) occurring in the period for which such Fees are payable.

; provided that the Scheduled Initial Term Loan
Repayments set forth above shall be reduced in connection with any voluntary or
mandatory prepayments of the Initial Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.4B(iv) and
provided, further, that the Initial Term Loans and all other
amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Initial Term Loans shall be paid in
full on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date, and the final installment payable
by Company in respect of the Initial Term Loans on such date shall be in an
amount, if such amount is different from that specified above, sufficient to
repay all amounts owing by Company under this Agreement with respect to the
Initial Term Loans.

 

55

 

(ii)                                  Scheduled
Payments of Incremental Term Loans.  In addition to any other mandatory repayments
pursuant to this Section 2.4, Company shall be required to make, with
respect to each Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, to the extent then
outstanding, scheduled amortization payments of such Tranche of Incremental
Term Loans on the dates and in the principal amounts set forth in the
respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement (each such date, a “Scheduled
Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date”, and each such repayment, as the same
may be (x) reduced as provided in Section 2.4B(iv) or (y) increased
as provided in Section 2.11C, a “Scheduled Incremental Term Loan
Repayment”); provided that the Incremental Term Loans and all other
amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Incremental Term Loans shall be paid
in full on the Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date, and the final installment
payable by Company in respect of the Incremental Term Loans on such date shall
be in an amount, if such amount is different from that specified above,
sufficient to repay all amounts owing by Company under this Agreement with
respect to the Incremental Term Loans.

 

B.                                     Prepayments and
Reductions in Revolving Loan Commitments.

 

(i)                                     Voluntary
Prepayments.  Company
may, upon written or telephonic notice to Administrative Agent at the Notice
Office at or prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of
prepayment, which notice, if telephonic, shall be promptly confirmed in
writing, at any time and from time to time prepay any Swing Line Loan on any
Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and
integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.  Company may, upon not less than one Business
Day’s prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and
three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of LIBOR
Loans, in each case given to Administrative Agent by 12:00 Noon (New York City
time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in
writing to Administrative Agent (which original written or telephonic notice
Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to
each Lender), at any time and from time to time prepay any Initial Term Loans,
Revolving Loans or Incremental Term Loans under a given Tranche on any Business
Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and
integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount (other than any such
prepayment with proceeds received by Company in connection with its exercise of
the Cure Right); provided that a LIBOR Loan may only be prepaid on the
expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless Company pays all
amounts owing to Lenders under Section 2.6D.  Notice of prepayment having been given as
aforesaid, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall
become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein; provided
that a notice of prepayment in respect of all outstanding Loans delivered by
Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of
other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Company
(by notice to Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date)
if such condition is not satisfied.  Any
such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.4B(iv).

 

56

 

(ii)                                  Voluntary
Reductions of Revolving Loan Commitments.  Company may, upon not less than three
Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to
Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice Administrative Agent
will promptly transmit to each Lender), at any time and from time to time
terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty,
the Revolving Loan Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the
Revolving Loan Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan
Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided
that any such partial reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be in
an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in
excess of that amount.  Company’s notice
to Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business
Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction,
and such termination or reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be
effective on the date specified in Company’s notice and shall reduce the
Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro  Rata
Share provided that a notice of reduction in respect of all outstanding
Revolving Loan Commitments delivered by Company may state that such notice is
conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case
such notice may be revoked by Company (by notice to Administrative Agent on or
prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

 

(iii)                               Mandatory
Prepayments and Reductions in Commitments.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.4B(iv)(d),
the Loans shall be prepaid in the amounts and under the circumstances set forth
below, all such prepayments to be applied as set forth below or as more
specifically provided in Section 2.4B(iv):

 

(a)                                  Commitment
Reductions.  In addition to any other
mandatory repayments or commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 2.4, the Revolving Loan Commitments (and the
Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in their entirety on
the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

 

(b)                                 Prepayments
From Net Asset Sale Proceeds.  No later than the fifth Business Day
following the date on which any Net Asset Sale Proceeds become Unreinvested
Asset Sale Proceeds, Company shall prepay its outstanding Term Loans in an
aggregate amount equal to such Unreinvested Asset Sale Proceeds; provided
that Company may in its sole discretion elect, pursuant to a written notice
given by Company to Administrative Agent describing such election, to postpone
any mandatory prepayments otherwise required to be made by Company pursuant to
this Section 2.4B(iii)(b) (any such prepayment, until the time
actually made, being “Postponed Prepayments”) until such time as the
aggregate amount of Postponed Prepayments equals $10,000,000.

 

57

 

(c)                                  Prepayments
from Consolidated Excess Cash Flow.  In the event that there shall be Consolidated
Excess Cash Flow for any Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31,
2010), Company shall, no later than the date on which Company has delivered or
is required to deliver audited financial statements with respect to such Fiscal
Year pursuant to Section 6.1(ii), prepay its outstanding Term Loans in an
aggregate amount equal to (I) 50% of such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow; provided
that (x) if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be less than 3.25:1.00
but equal to or greater than 2.75:1.00 as of the last day of any such Fiscal
Year, then the percentage referred to above shall be reduced to 25% and (y) if
the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be less than 2.75:1.00 as of the last day
of any such Fiscal Year, then the percentage referred to above shall be reduced
to 0%; minus (II) voluntary prepayments of Term Loans made during such
Fiscal Year or in the subsequent Fiscal Year prior to the date of any required
prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.4B(iii)(c), provided that if
an amount is deducted pursuant to this clause (II) in any Fiscal Year
the same amount may not be deducted in the subsequent Fiscal Year.  The portion of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow
in respect of any Fiscal Year not required to be applied to prepay the Term
Loans pursuant to this Section 2.4B(iii)(c) minus any amount deducted
pursuant to clause (II) above, shall be deemed to be “Retained
Excess Cash Flow”.

 

(d)                                 Prepayments
from Incurrences of Indebtedness.  In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions
pursuant to this Section 2.4, on each date after the Closing Date upon
which Company or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any
issuance or incurrence by Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness
(other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.1
as in effect on the Closing Date), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash
Proceeds of the respective incurrence of Indebtedness shall be applied on such
date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of this Section 2.4B(iii).

 

(e)                                  Prepayments from
Recovery Events.  In addition
to any other mandatory repayments or commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 2.4,
on each date on or after the Closing Date upon which Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (other than any Designated Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries) receives
any cash proceeds from any Recovery Event (other than Recovery Events where the
Net Cash Proceeds therefrom do not exceed $2,500,000), an amount equal to 100%
of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Recovery Event shall be applied on such date
as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.4B(iv);
provided, however, that such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be
required to be so applied on such date so long as Company has delivered a
certificate to Administrative Agent on such date stating that such Net Cash
Proceeds shall be used to replace or restore any properties or assets in
respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid within one year following the
date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (which certificate shall set
forth the estimates of the Net Cash Proceeds to be so expended), and provided,
further, that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not
required to be so applied pursuant to the preceding proviso are not so used
within one year after the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or
such earlier date, if any, as Company or the relevant Subsidiary determines not
to reinvest the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Recovery Event as set forth
above), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period
(or such earlier date, as the case may be) as provided above in this Section 2.4B(iii)(e) without
regard to the immediately preceding proviso.

 

58

 

(f)                                    Mandatory
Prepayments Relating to Revolving Loan Commitments.  On any day on which the Total Utilization of
Revolving Loan Commitments exceeds the Revolving Loan Commitments then in
effect (whether as a result of a reduction of Revolving Loan Commitments, a
change in the applicable Exchange Rates pursuant to Section 1.4 or
otherwise), Company shall prepay on such day the principal of Swing Line Loans
and, after all Swing Line Loans have been repaid in full or if no Swing Line
Loans are outstanding, Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess.  If, after giving effect to the prepayment of
all outstanding Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of
the Letter of Credit Usage exceeds the Revolving Loan Commitments at such time,
Company shall pay to Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an
amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up
to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Usage at such time), such
cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all Obligations of
Company to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral
account to be established by Administrative Agent.

 

(iv)                              Application of
Prepayments.

 

(a)                                  Application of
Voluntary Prepayments by Tranche of Loans and Order of Maturity.  Any voluntary prepayments pursuant to Section 2.4B(i) shall
be applied as specified by Company in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided
that in the event Company fails to specify the Loans of Company to which any
such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied first
to repay outstanding Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof, second
to repay outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof, and third
to repay outstanding Term Loans, with such amount to be allocated (other than
in the case of and as provided in Section 2.4B(v)) among each of the
outstanding Tranches of Term Loans on a Pro Rata Basis
(based upon the Pro Rata Share of the then outstanding
principal amounts of the respective Tranches of Term Loans) to the full extent
thereof.  Any voluntary prepayment of any
Tranche of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.4B(i) shall be applied to
prepay the Term Loans in the manner specified by Company and to reduce the
relevant Scheduled Repayments of principal of such Tranche of Term Loans set
forth in Section 2.4A(i) or 2.4A(ii), as applicable, in such order as
Company shall direct.

 

(b)                                 Application of
Mandatory Prepayments of Term Loans and the Scheduled Repayments of Principal
Thereof.  Any mandatory prepayments of
Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.4B(iii) shall be applied to prepay
the Term Loans on a pro  rata basis (in accordance with the
respective outstanding principal amounts thereof) and to reduce the relevant
Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.4A(i) or
2.4A(ii), as applicable, on a pro  rata basis (based upon the then
remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Repayment of the respective
Tranche after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

 

59

 

(c)                                  Waiver of
Certain Mandatory Prepayments.  Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event Company is required to make any mandatory
prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Term Loans
pursuant to Section 2.4B(iii)(b) through (e), (V) Company may,
by written or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) given to
Administrative Agent not less than three Business Days prior to the date (the “Required
Prepayment Date”) on which Company is required to make such Waivable
Mandatory Prepayment, elect to offer each Lender holding an outstanding Term
Loan the option to refuse such Lender’s Pro  Rata Share of such
Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, (W) in the event Company gives such notice
to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent will promptly notify each such
Lender of the amount of such Lender’s Pro  Rata Share of such
Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount, (X) each
such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to Company and
Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business
Day (the “Cutoff Date”) prior to the Required Prepayment Date, (Y) on
the Required Prepayment Date, Company shall pay to Administrative Agent an
amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment payable to
those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option (it being
understood that any Lender which does not notify Company and Administrative
Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the Cutoff Date
shall be deemed to have elected, as of the Cutoff Date, not to exercise such
option), which amount shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans of such Lenders
in accordance with Section 2.4B(iv)(b), and (Z) Company shall be
entitled to retain that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment otherwise
payable to those Lenders that have elected to exercise such option (such amount
being a “Retained Prepayment”) to be used for general corporate
purposes.

 

(d)                                 Application of
Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans; Option to Defer
Certain Mandatory Prepayments of LIBOR Loans.  Considering Initial Term Loans, Revolving
Loans and Incremental Term Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment
thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof
before application to LIBOR Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the
amount of any payments required to be made by Company pursuant to Section 2.6D;
provided that anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event that (1) the application of any mandatory
prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4B(iii) in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4B(iv) would result in the
prepayment of all or any portion of a LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, and (2) no Potential Event of Default
or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Company shall have
the option to, by giving written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or
before the first Business Day prior to the date on which such prepayment would
otherwise be required to be made, (x) if the remaining term of such
Interest Period is less than three months, defer the making of such prepayment
until the last day of such Interest Period or such earlier date as Company may
specify in such notice or (y) deposit the amount of such prepayment
otherwise required to be made hereunder into the Collateral Account until the
last day of such Interest Period at which time Administrative Agent shall,
subject to the provisions of Section 2.4B(iv)(c), be authorized (without
any further action by or notice to or from Company) to apply such amount to the
prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.4B(iii).

 

60

 

(v)                                 Additional
Revolving Loan Commitment Reductions/Prepayments of Loans.  In the event of certain refusals by a Lender
to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations
with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Requisite
Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 10.6B, Company shall
have the right, subject to obtaining the consents required by Section 10.6B,
upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent at the
Notice Office (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to
each of the Lenders), to (x) terminate the entire Revolving Loan
Commitment of such Lender, so long as all Loans, together with accrued and
unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (including
all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.6D and Section 2.7
but excluding amounts owing in respect of any Tranche of Term Loans maintained
by such Lender, if such Tranche of Term Loans are not being repaid pursuant to Section 10.6B)
are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination (at which
time Schedule 2.1 shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed
amounts) and such Lender’s Pro  Rata Share of all outstanding
Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to
Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders, and at such time,
unless the respective Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans
hereunder, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of
this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, Sections 2.6, 2.7, 3.5C, 3.6, 9.6, 10.2 and
10.5), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender and/or (y) repay all
Loans of such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.6D
and Section 2.7), together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all
other amounts then owing to such Lender (or owing to such Lender with respect
to each Loan which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual
consent) in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of, said Section 10.6B,
so long as (A) in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any
Lender pursuant to this clause (y), (i) the Revolving Loan Commitment of
such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to clause (x) above
(at which time Schedule 2.1 shall be deemed modified to reflect the
changed Revolving Loan Commitments) and (ii) such Lender’s Pro  Rata
Share of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner
satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders and (B) the
consents, if any, required by Section 10.6B in connection with the
repayment pursuant to this clause (y) shall have been obtained; provided
that each prepayment of any Tranche of Term Loans pursuant to this clause (y) shall
reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of the respective Tranche of
Term Loans on a pro  rata basis (based upon the then remaining
principal amount of each such Scheduled Repayment of the respective Tranche
after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

 

61

 

C.                                     General
Provisions Regarding Payments.

 

(i)                                     Manner and Time
of Payment.  All
payments by Company of principal, interest, Fees and other Obligations
hereunder and under the Notes shall be made in Dollars in same day funds
without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition,
and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 P.M. (New York
City time) on the date due at the Funding and Payment Office for the account of
Lenders; funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due
date shall be deemed to have been paid by Company on the next succeeding
Business Day.

 

(ii)                                  Application of
Payments to Principal and Interest.  Except as provided in Section 2.2C, all
payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall include payment
of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all
such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date
when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to
the payment of interest before application to principal.

 

(iii)                               Apportionment
of Payments.  Aggregate

Loans to which such payments relate, in each case proportionately to Lenders’
respective Pro  Rata Shares. 
Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender, at its
applicable Lending Office or at such other address as such Lender may request,
its Pro  Rata Share of all such payments received by
Administrative Agent and the Commitment Fees of such Lender when received by
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.3.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 2.4C(iii), if, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6B,
any Notice of Conversion/Continuation is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or
if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro  Rata
Share of any LIBOR Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in
apportioning payments received thereafter.

 

(iv)                              Payments on
Business Days.  Whenever
any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not
a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day
and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment
of interest hereunder or of the Commitment Fees hereunder, as the case may be.

Secured Obligations for the ratable benefit of the holders thereof; and

 

(c)                                  thereafter, to
the extent of any excess such proceeds, to the payment to or upon the order of
such Loan Party or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or
as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

 

(ii)                                  Application of

of the costs and expenses of any collection or other realization under the
Guaranties, including reasonable compensation to Administrative Agent and its
agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred
by Administrative Agent in connection therewith, all in accordance with the

the extent of any excess such payments, to the payment of all other Guarantied
Obligations (as defined in such Guaranty) for the ratable benefit of the
holders thereof; and

 

(c)                                  thereafter, to

2.6                                 Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Loans. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
the following provisions shall govern with respect to LIBOR Loans as to the
matters covered:

 

A.                                   Determination
of Applicable Interest Rate.  As soon as practicable after 10:00 A.M.
(New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative
Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable
error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate
that shall apply to LIBOR Loans for which an interest rate is then being
determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice
thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each
Lender.

 

B.                                     Inability to
Determine Applicable Interest Rate, Illegality, etc.  In the event that any Lender shall have
determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and
conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below,
may be made only by Administrative Agent):

 

(i)                                     on any Interest Rate
Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of
this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair
means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis
provided for in the definition of LIBOR; or

 

(ii)                                  at any time, that such Lender
shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable
hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loan because of (x) any change since
the Closing Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order,
guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the
interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any
new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as,
but not limited to a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all
events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included
in the computation of LIBOR and/or (y) other circumstances arising since
the Closing Date affecting such Lender, the interbank Eurodollar market or the
position of such Lender in such market (including that LIBOR with respect to
such LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender
of funding such LIBOR Loan), excluding in the case of both (x) and (y),
any such change in or new law or governmental rule, regulation, order,
guideline or request or any circumstances relating to Taxes); or

 

(iii)                               at any time, that the making
or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or
governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by
any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having
force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring
after the Closing Date which materially and adversely affects the interbank
Eurodollar market;

 

64

 

then, and in any such event, such Lender (the
“Affected Lender”) (or Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above)
shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to
Company and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to Administrative
Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly
transmit to each of the other Lenders). 
Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans
shall no longer be available until such time as Administrative Agent notifies
Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by
Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation given by Company with respect to LIBOR Loans which have
not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed
rescinded by Company, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, Company
agrees to pay to such Affected Lender, upon such Affected Lender’s written
request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of,
or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Affected
Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to
compensate such Affected Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts
received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts
owed to such Affected Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the
calculation thereof, submitted to Company by such Affected Lender shall, absent
manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto)
and (z) in the case of clause (ii) above, Company shall take one of
the actions specified in Section 2.6C as promptly as possible and, in any
event, within the time period required by law.

 

C.                                     Termination/Conversion
of Affected LIBOR Loans.  At
any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.6B(ii),
Company may, and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected by the circumstances
described in Section 2.6B(iii), Company shall, either (x) if the
affected LIBOR Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a borrowing,
cancel such borrowing by giving Administrative Agent telephonic notice
(confirmed in writing) on the same date that Company was notified by the Affected
Lender or Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.6B(ii) or (iii) or
(y) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three
Business Days’ written notice to Administrative Agent, require the Affected
Lender to convert such LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided that
if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all Affected Lenders must
be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.6C.

 

D.                                    Compensation
For Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods.  Company agrees to compensate each Lender,
upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail
the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses,
expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or
liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
other funds required by such Lender to fund its LIBOR Loans but excluding loss
of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain:  (i) if for any reason (other than a default
by such Lender or Administrative Agent) a borrowing of, or conversion from or
into, LIBOR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by
Company or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.6B); (ii) if any
prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to
Section 2.4B(i) or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans
pursuant to Section 8) or conversion of any of its LIBOR Loans under Section 2.2D
occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect
thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its LIBOR Loans is not made on
any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Company; or (iv) as
a consequence of (x) any other default by Company to repay LIBOR Loans
when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or
(y) any election made pursuant to Section 2.6C.

 

65

 

E.                                      Booking of LIBOR
Loans.  Any Lender may make, carry or
transfer LIBOR Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or
the office of an Affiliate of that Lender.

 

F.                                      LIBOR Loans
After Default.  If, after
the occurrence of and during the continuation of a Potential Event of Default
or an Event of Default, Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders have
determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit the making or
continuation of any Loans as, or the conversion of any Loans to, LIBOR Loans
and Administrative Agent has so notified Company in writing (i) Company
may not elect to have any Loans be made as or converted to LIBOR Loans or elect
to have any outstanding LIBOR Loans continued as such after the expiration of
the Interest Periods then in effect for such LIBOR Loans, and (ii) subject
to the provisions of Section 2.6D, any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation given by Company with respect to a requested borrowing
or conversion/continuation in respect of LIBOR Loans that has not yet occurred
shall be deemed to be rescinded by Company.

 

2.7                               Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

 

A.                                   Compensation
for Increased Costs.  In the
event that any Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall,
absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all
parties hereto) that the introduction or adoption (after the date hereof) of
any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or that any change
(after the date hereof) in any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or
order or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, or that
any determination (after the date hereof) by a court or governmental authority,
or that compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive
issued or made (after the date hereof) by any central bank or other
governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force
of law), in any such case:

 

(i)                                     imposes,
modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency,
supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC
insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other
liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit
extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender;
or

 

(ii)                                  imposes any
other condition (other than with respect to Taxes) on or affecting such Lender
(or its applicable Lending Office) or its obligations hereunder or the London
interbank market for Dollars;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase
the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans
hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its
applicable Lending Office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case,
Company shall pay to such Lender, promptly after receipt of the statement
referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the
form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or
otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as may
be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or
reduction.  Such Lender shall deliver to
Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting
forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts
owed to such Lender under this Section 2.7A, which statement shall be
conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent clearly demonstrable
error.

 

66

 

B.                                     Withholding of Taxes.

 

(i)                                     Payments to Be
Free and Clear.  All sums
payable by Company under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall,
except to the extent required by law (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
any regulation, rule, treaty or other governmental requirement), be paid free
and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax.

 

(ii)                                  Payments
Subject to Taxes.  If Company
(or any other Person making a payment on behalf of Company) is required by law
to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax from any sum paid or
payable by Company to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan
Documents:

 

(a)                                  Company shall
pay the amount of such Tax to the appropriate taxing or other authority;

 

(b)                                 to the extent
such Tax is a Non-Excluded Tax (as defined below), Company shall pay additional
amounts to Administrative Agent or such Lender so that, after the making of
such deduction or withholding, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case
may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received
had no such deduction or withholding been made;

 

(c)                                  to the extent
such Tax is a Non-Excluded Tax, Company shall indemnify each Lender against the
amount of any such Tax levied or imposed on and paid by such Lender; and

 

(d)                                 within 30 days
or as promptly as practicable after payment of any Excluded Tax pursuant to
clause (a) above, Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent a receipt
from the relevant taxing or other authority.

 

“Non-Excluded Tax” shall mean any Tax imposed
with respect to (i) the execution of this Agreement or (ii) on
payments by Company to Administrative Agent or a Lender other than (1) any
Tax imposed on or measured by the net income of Administrative Agent or a
Lender (including branch profits taxes) pursuant to the laws of the
jurisdiction in which it is organized, the jurisdiction in which the principal
office or applicable Lending Office of such Administrative Agent or Lender is
located or any subdivision thereof or therein; (2) any Tax imposed on
Administrative Agent or a Lender (A) as a result of a present connection
between the jurisdiction  imposing such Taxes and Administrative Agent or
such Lender or (B) by a jurisdiction which that Person (and/or, in the
case of a Lender, its applicable Lending Office) is deemed to be doing business
(with respect to (A) and (B), except as a result of a present connection
arising from Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or
performed its obligations or 

 

67

 

received a payment under, or enforced any Loan
Documents); and (3) (A) any U.S. federal withholding Tax that is in
effect and would apply to amounts payable hereunder at such time Lender or
Administrative Agent becomes a party to this Agreement; (B) any Tax
imposed solely by reason of any change in circumstances with respect to such
Administrative Agent or Lender that was not requested by Company (or Person
making payment on behalf of Company); or (C) any Tax imposed due to the
failure to comply with Section 2.7B(iii); provided, however, that a
Tax shall be a Non-Excluded Tax to the extent it arises as a result of any
change in applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or
order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to such Tax occurring after
such Administrative Agent or Lender becomes a party to this Agreement.

 

(e)                                  If Company pays
any indemnity or additional amount under this Section 2.7B(ii) to
Administrative Agent or Lender and such Administrative Agent or Lender
determines in its sole discretion that it has actually received or realized in
connection therewith any refund of Non-Excluded Taxes for which it was indemnified
or received additional amounts, such Administrative Agent or Lender shall pay
to Company the amounts of such refund; provided, however, that (i) the
Administrative Agent or Lender may determine, in its sole discretion consistent
with the policies of such Administrative Agent or Lender, whether to seek such
refund; (ii) to the extent that any Taxes are imposed on Administrative
Agent or Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction of such refund, such
Taxes shall be treated as a Tax for which Company is obligated to indemnify
such Administrative Agent or Lender pursuant to this Section 2.7B(ii); and
(iii) nothing in this Section 2.7B(ii) shall require
Administrative Agent or Lender to disclose any confidential information to
Company (including, without limitation, its tax returns).

 

(iii)                             Evidence of Exemption from Withholding
Tax.

 

(a)                                  Each Lender
that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United
States or any state or other political subdivision thereof (for purposes of
this Section 2.7B(iii), a “Non-US Lender”), to the extent that it
is legally entitled and eligible to do so, shall deliver to Administrative
Agent for transmission to Company, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case
of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof), or on or prior to
the date on which it becomes a Lender (in the case of any other Lender), and at
such other times as may be reasonably requested by Company or Administrative
Agent, (1) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY,
W-8ECI or W-8BEN (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed
by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption
required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder
(or the rules and regulations relating to any tax imposed by the relevant
subdivision of the United States) to establish that such Lender is not subject
to deduction (or is subject to a reduction in) or withholding of Tax with
respect to any payments to such Lender of amounts payable under any of the Loan
Documents or (2) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described
in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver
either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, W-8ECI or W-8BEN pursuant to
clause (1) above, a Certificate re Non-Bank Status together with two
original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or any successor
form), properly completed and duly 

 

68

 

executed by such Lender, together with any
other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue
Code or the regulations issued thereunder (or the rules and regulations
relating to any tax imposed by the relevant subdivision of the United States)
to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction (or is subject to a
reduction in) or withholding of Tax with respect to any payments to such Lender
of interest payable under any of the Loan Documents.

 

(b)                                 Each Lender
required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence pursuant to Section 2.7B(iii)(a) hereby
agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such
forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in
circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or
inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly (1) deliver
to Administrative Agent for transmission to Company two new original copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, W-8ECI or W-8BEN, or a Certificate
re Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8,
as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender,
together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order
to confirm or establish that such Lender is entitled to a continued exemption
from or reduction in withholding of Tax with respect to payments to such Lender
under the Loan Documents or (2) notify Administrative Agent and Company of
its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

 

(c)                                  To the extent
payment is made or to be made by or on behalf of Company from any non-U.S.
jurisdiction, each Lender that is organized outside such jurisdiction agrees to
use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and
reasonable overall policy considerations of the Lenders) to provide Company or
Administrative Agent with such forms, certificates or other evidence as may be
reasonably requested by the Company to establish the entitlement of such Lender
to any reduction in or exemption from any Tax that may be applicable to such
payments.

 

C.                                     Capital
Adequacy Adjustment.  If any
Lender determines that after the Closing Date the introduction of or any change
in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline,
directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning
capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by
the NAIC or any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, will
have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) or any corporation
controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Loans or
Commitments or Letters of Credit or participations therein or other obligations
hereunder, then Company agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand
therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such
Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such
other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such
other corporation as a result of such increase of capital.  In determining such additional amounts, each
Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and
attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s
determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.7C shall, absent
manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties
hereto.  Each Lender, upon determining
that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.7C,
will give prompt written notice thereof to Company, which notice shall show in
reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.

2.8                                 Notice of Certain Costs; Obligation of
Lenders and Issuing Lenders to Mitigate.  A.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent Section 2.6,
2.7 or 3.6 requires any Lender or Issuing Lender to give notice to Company of
an event or a condition that would entitle such Lender or Issuing Lender to
receive payments under Section 2.6, 2.7 or 3.6, as the case may be, in the
event such notice is given by such Lender or Issuing Lender more than 180 days
after such Lender or Issuing Lender has knowledge of the occurrence or
existence of such event or circumstance, such Lender or Issuing Lender shall
not be entitled to receive any such payments under Section 2.6, 2.7 or
3.6, as the case may be, in respect of the period ending on the Business Day
immediately preceding the date on which such notice is given to Company.

 

B.                                     Each Lender and
Issuing Lender agrees that, if an event occurs or a condition arises that would
cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such
Lender or Issuing Lender to receive payments under Section 2.7 or Section 3.6,
it will, if so requested by Company, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall
policy considerations of such Lender) to make, issue, fund or maintain the
Commitments of such Lender or the affected Loans or Letters of Credit (or
participations therein) of such Lender or Issuing Lender through another
lending or letter of credit office of such Lender or Issuing Lender, if as a
result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an
Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would
otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.7
or Section 3.6 would be materially reduced and if the making, issuing,
funding or maintaining of such Commitments or Loans or Letters of Credit (or
participations therein) through such other lending or letter of credit office
would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Commitments or Loans or
Letters of Credit (or participations therein) or cause such Lender or Issuing
Lender to suffer any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, each as
determined in the Lender’s sole discretion; provided that nothing in
this Section 2.8 shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of
Company or the rights of any Lender provided in Section 2.6C, 2.6F, 2.7 or
3.6.

 

2.9                                 Defaulting Lenders. 
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event
that any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) (A) defaults in (for a
period of three Business Days or more), or notifies Administrative Agent, the
Swing Line Lender, any Issuing Lender and/or any Loan Party that it does not
intend to comply with (in circumstances where such non-compliance would
constitute a breach of, and excluding a good faith dispute with respect to),
its obligation to fund (1) any Revolving Loan, including (without
limitation) any Refunded Swing Line Loan (a “Defaulted Revolving Loan”),
in accordance with Section 2.1, or (2) its portion of any
unreimbursed payment with respect to a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.4C
or 3.5, or (B) becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding or a takeover by a regulatory authority (the events described in
preceding clauses (A) and (B), a “Funding Default”), then (i) during
any Default Period (as defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender,
such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of
voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with
respect to any of the Loan Documents (other than for purposes of voting on
matters of the type described in clause (i) of the first proviso to Section 10.6A),
(ii) to the extent permitted by 

 

70

 

applicable law, until
such time as the Default Excess (as defined below) with respect to such
Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (a) any voluntary
prepayment of the Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.4B(i) shall,
if Company so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be
applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender
had no Revolving Loans outstanding and the Revolving Loan Exposure of such
Defaulting Lender were zero, and (b) any mandatory prepayment of the
Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.4B(iii) shall, if Company so
directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the
Revolving Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Revolving Loans of such
Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted
Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that
Company shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of
the Revolving Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a
result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (b), (iii) such
Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans
and such Defaulting Lender’s Pro  Rata Share of the Letter of
Credit Usage shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee
payable to Lenders pursuant to Section 2.3A in respect of any day during
any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting
Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.3A
with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment in respect
of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and (iv) the
Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments as at any date of determination
shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted
Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender; provided that, for purposes
of (and only for purposes of) the last paragraph of Section 2.1A(iii) and
Section 3.3B and any documentation entered into pursuant to the Back-Stop
Arrangements (and the term “Defaulting Lender” as used therein), the term “Funding
Default” shall also include, as to any Lender having a Revolving Loan
Commitment, (i) any Affiliate of such Lender that has “control” (within
the meaning provided in the definition of “Affiliate”) of such Lender having
become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or a takeover by a
regulatory authority, (ii) any previously cured “Funding Default” of such
Lender under this Agreement, unless such Funding Default has ceased to exist
for a period of at least 90 consecutive days, (iii) any default by such
Lender with respect to its obligations under any other credit facility to which
it is a party and which the Swing Line Lender, any Issuing Lender or
Administrative Agent believes in good faith has occurred and is continuing, and
(iv) the failure of such Lender to make available its portion of any
borrowing of Revolving Loans or to fund its portion of any unreimbursed payment
with respect to a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.4C or 3.5 within
one Business Day of the date (x) Administrative Agent (in its capacity as
a Lender) or (y) the Lenders constituting the Requisite Class Lenders
with Revolving Loan Commitments has or have, as applicable, funded its or their
portion thereof.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, (I) “Default
Period” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the period commencing
on the date of the applicable Funding Default and ending on the earliest of the
following dates:  (A) the date on
which all Revolving Loan Commitments are cancelled or terminated and/or the
Obligations are declared or become immediately due and payable, (B) the
date on which (1) the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting
Lender shall have been reduced to zero (whether by the funding by such
Defaulting Lender of any Defaulted Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender or
by the non-pro  rata application of any voluntary or mandatory
prepayments of the Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.9
or by a combination thereof) and (2) such Defaulting Lender 

 

71

 

shall have delivered to
Company and Administrative Agent a written reaffirmation of its intention to
honor its obligations under this Agreement with respect to its Revolving Loan
Commitment, and (C) the date on which Company, Administrative Agent and
Requisite Lenders waive all Funding Defaults of such Defaulting Lender in
writing, and (II) “Default Excess” means, with respect to any
Defaulting Lender, the excess, if any, of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro  Rata
Share of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans of all
Lenders (calculated as if all Defaulting Lenders (other than such Defaulting
Lender) had funded all of their respective Defaulted Revolving Loans) over the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans of such Defaulting
Lender.

 

No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or
otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.9,
performance by Company of its obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of any
Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.9.  The rights and remedies against a Defaulting
Lender under this Section 2.9 are in addition to other rights and remedies
which Company may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any
Funding Default and which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against
such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

 

2.10                         Removal or Replacement of a Lender.

 

A.                                   Anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that:

 

(i)                                     upon the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.6B(ii),
2.6B(iii), 2.7 or Section 3.6 with respect to any Lender (an “Increased-Cost
Lender”) which results in such Increased-Cost Lender charging to Company
increased costs in excess of those generally charged by other Lenders; or

 

(ii)                                  (a) any
Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (b) the Default Period for such
Defaulting Lender shall remain in effect, and (c) such Defaulting Lender
shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting
Lender within five Business Days after Company’s request that it cure such
default; or

 

(iii)                               in connection
with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with
respect to any of the provisions of this Agreement which has been approved by
the Requisite Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 10.6B but
the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting
Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained;

 

then, and in each such case, at its option, Company
may elect upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent
at the Notice Office (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit
to each of the Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender and/or Non-Consenting
Lender, as the case may be), to remove or replace such Increased-Cost Lender,
Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”) to
the extent permitted by Section 2.10B (and notwithstanding any provision
in this Agreement to the contrary).

 

72

 

B.                                     Company may, by
giving five Business Days’ written notice to Administrative Agent and any
Terminated Lender of its election to do so:

 

(i)                                     so long as no
Potential Event of Default or Event of Default then exists or would exist after
giving effect to such removal, elect to (a) terminate the entire Revolving
Loan Commitment, if any, of such Terminated Lender and concurrently prepay on
the date of such termination any outstanding Loans made by such Terminated
Lender, and/or (b) repay all outstanding Loans of such Terminated Lender,
in each case (under both clauses (a) and (b) above) together with
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, Fees and all other amounts payable to such
Terminated Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 2.6, Section 2.7 or Section 3.6
or otherwise in accordance with Section 2.4B(v) hereof; provided
that in the event such Terminated Lender has any Loans outstanding at the time
of such termination, the written consent of Administrative Agent and Requisite
Lenders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be
required in order for Company to make the election set forth in this clause
(i); or

 

(ii)                                  elect to cause
such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees)
to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Loan Commitment, if any, in
full to one or more Eligible Assignees, none of whom shall constitute an
Increased-Cost Lender or a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (“Replacement
Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to Administrative
Agent or, in the case of a replacement as provided in Section 10.6B where
the consent of the respective Lender is required with respect to less than all
Tranches of its Loans or Commitments, to replace the Commitments and/or
outstanding Loans of such Lender in respect of each Tranche where the consent
of such Lender would otherwise be individually required, with identical
Commitments and/or Loans of the respective Tranche provided by the Replacement
Lender; provided that:

 

(a)                                  at the time of any
replacement pursuant to this Section 2.10B(ii), the Replacement Lender
shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements pursuant to Section 10.1B
(and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 10.1B to be paid by
the Replacement Lender and/or the Terminated Lender (as may be agreed to at
such time by and among Company, the Replacement Lender and the Terminated
Lender)), pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the
Commitments and outstanding Loans (or, in the case of the replacement of only (A) the
Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding
Revolving Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Usage and/or (B) the
outstanding Term Loans, the outstanding Term Loans with respect to which such
Lender is being replaced) of, and in each case (except for the replacement of
only the outstanding Term Loans of the respective Lender) all participations in
Letters of Credit pursuant to the respective Tranche by, the 

 

73

 

Terminated Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the
Terminated Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an
amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding
Loans (or of the Loans of the respective Tranche being replaced) of the
respective Terminated Lender with respect to which such Terminated Lender is
being replaced, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings (unless there
are no Unpaid Drawings with respect to the Tranche being replaced) that have
been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Terminated Lender, together with
all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an
amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the
Terminated Lender (but only with respect to the relevant Tranche, in the case
of the replacement of less than all Tranches of Loans then held by the
respective Terminated Lender) pursuant to Section 2.3, (y) except in
the case of the replacement of only the outstanding Term Loans of a Terminated
Lender, each Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Terminated Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by
such Issuing Lender (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the
extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Terminated Lender and (z) in
the case of any replacement of Revolving Loan Commitments, the Swing Line
Lender an amount equal to such Terminated Lender’s Pro  Rata Share
of any Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent such amount was not theretofore
funded by such Replaced Lender to the Swing Line Lender; and

 

(b)                                 all obligations of Company
then owing to the Terminated Lender (other than those (a) specifically
described in clause (a) above in respect of which the assignment purchase
price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if
any, owing under Section 2.6D or (b) relating to any Tranche of Loans
and/or Commitments of the respective Terminated Lender which will remain
outstanding after giving effect to the respective replacement) shall be paid in
full to such Terminated Lender concurrently with such replacement; and (c) in
the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement
Lender shall consent at the time of such replacement to each matter in respect
to which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender; and

 

provided that (X) Company may not make either of the
elections set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) above with respect to any
Non-Consenting Lender unless Company also makes one of such elections with
respect to each other Terminated Lender which is a Non-Consenting Lender and (Y) Company
may not make the elections set forth in clause (i) above with respect to (a) any
Terminated Lender that is an Issuing Lender unless, prior to the effectiveness
of such election, Company shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit
issued by such Issuing Lender to be cancelled and (b) in all other circumstances where
a Letter of Credit issued by any other Issuing Lender is outstanding, prior to
the effectiveness of such election, Company shall enter into the applicable
Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements with such Issuing Lender.

 

74

 

C.            Upon
receipt by the Terminated Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it
pursuant to this Section 2.10, Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but
not obligated) and authorized to execute an Assignment Agreement on behalf of
such Terminated Lender, and any such Assignment Agreement so executed by
Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes
of this Section 2.10 and Section 10.1.  Upon the execution of the respective
Assignment Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in Section 2.10B
above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 2.1D and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender,
delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by
Company, (w) with respect to the Terminated Lender’s Revolving Loan
Commitment (if any), Schedule 2.1 shall be deemed modified to reflect
any corresponding changes in the Revolving Loan Commitments, (x) the
Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and, unless the respective
Terminated Lender continues to have outstanding Term Loans and/or a Revolving
Loan Commitment hereunder, the Terminated Lender shall cease to constitute a
Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.6C, 2.6D, 2.7, 3.5C, 3.6,
9.6, 10.2 and 10.5), which shall survive as to such Terminated Lender (y) with
respect to the prepayment of any Tranche of Term Loans pursuant to this section
2.10C, such prepayment shall reduce the then remaining respective Scheduled
Repayments of such Tranche of Term Loans on a pro  rata basis
(based upon the then remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Payment
of the respective Tranche after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto)
and (z) the Pro Rata Share of the Lenders shall be
automatically adjusted at such time to give effect to such replacement.

 

2.11         Incremental Term Loan
Commitments.

 

A.            So long as the Incremental
Loan Commitment Request Requirements are satisfied at the time of the delivery
of the request referred to below, Company shall have the right, with the
consent of, and in coordination with, Administrative Agent as to all of the
matters set forth below in this Section 2.11, but without requiring the
consent of any of the Lenders, to request at any time and from time to time

Persons which are Eligible Assignees and which will become Lenders) provide
Incremental Term Loan Commitments to Company and, subject to the terms and
conditions contained in this Agreement and in the respective Incremental Term
Loan Commitment Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans pursuant thereto; it
being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be
obligated to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment as a result of any
such request by Company, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed

executed and delivered to Administrative Agent and Company an Incremental Term
Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in Section 2.11B, such Lender shall
not be obligated to fund any Incremental Term Loans, (ii) any Lender
(including any Eligible Assignee which will become a Lender) may so provide an
Incremental Term Loan Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, (iii) each
Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be denominated in Dollars, (iv) the

minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide an Incremental Term Loan
Commitment under such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (including Eligible
Assignees which will become Lenders) of at least $25,000,000 and in integral
multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, (v) the aggregate amount of all
Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 2.11,
when combined with the aggregate amount of all Incremental RL Commitments

75

 

pursuant to Section 2.12,
shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Commitment Amount, (vi) the
up-front fees and, if applicable, any unutilized commitment fees and/or other
fees, payable to each Incremental Term Loan Lender in respect of each
Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be separately agreed to by Company,
Administrative Agent and each such Incremental Term Loan Lender, (vii) each
Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall (I) have an Incremental Term Loan
Maturity Date of no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date, (II) have a
Weighted Average Life to Maturity of no less than the Weighted Average Life to
Maturity as then in effect for the Initial Term Loans and (III) be subject
to the Applicable Margins as are set forth in the Incremental Term Loan
Commitment Agreement governing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, provided
however, that if the “effective interest rate margin” for such
Incremental Term Loans as of the date of incurrence of such Tranche of
Incremental Term Loans (which, for such purposes only, shall be determined by
Administrative Agent and deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or
original issue discount (amortized over the life of such Incremental Term
Loans) payable to all Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans, but
exclusive of any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection
therewith that are not shared with all Lenders providing such Incremental Term
Loans) exceeds the “effective interest rate margin” then applicable to any
Tranche of then outstanding Term Loans (determined on the same
basis as provided in the immediately preceding parenthetical) by more than
0.50% per annum, the Applicable Margins for all then outstanding Term Loans
shall be increased as of such date in accordance with the requirements of
the definitions of “Applicable Term Loan Base Rate Margin” and “Applicable Term
Loan LIBOR Margin”, (viii) the proceeds of all Incremental Term Loans
shall be used only for the purposes permitted by Section 5.9C, (ix) each
Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall specifically designate the
Tranche of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being provided thereunder
(which Tranche shall be a new Tranche (i.e., not the same as any
existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans or Initial Term Loans) unless the
requirements of Section 2.11C are satisfied), (x) all Incremental
Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be
Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents and
shall be secured by the Collateral Documents, and guaranteed under the
Subsidiary Guaranty, on a pari  passu basis with all other
Obligations secured by the Collateral Documents and guaranteed under the
Subsidiary Guaranty, and (xi) each Lender (including any Eligible Assignee
which will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Term Loan
Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall,
subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this
Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans under the Tranche specified in such
Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in Section 2.1A(iv) and
such Loans shall thereafter be deemed to be Incremental Term Loans under such
Tranche for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Loan
Documents.

 

B.            At the time of the provision
of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.11,
Company, Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Assignee
which agrees to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (each, an “Incremental
Term Loan Lender”) shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an
Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, with the effectiveness of the
Incremental Term Loan Commitment provided therein to occur on the date set
forth in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, which date in any
event shall be no earlier than the date on which (w) all fees required to
be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have

arrangement fees owing to 

 

76

 

Administrative Agent (or any
Affiliate thereof)), (x) all Incremental Loan Commitment Requirements are
satisfied, (y) all other conditions set forth in this Section 2.11

satisfied.  Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term
Loan Commitment Agreement, and at such time, (i) Schedule 2.1 shall
be deemed modified to reflect the revised Incremental Term Loan Commitments of
the affected Lenders and (ii) to the extent requested by any Incremental
Term Loan Lender, Incremental Term Notes will be issued, at Company’s expense,
to such Incremental Term Loan Lender in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.1E.

 

C.            Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained above in this Section 2.11, the Incremental Term
Loan Commitments provided by an Incremental Term Loan Lender or Incremental
Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Term Loan
Commitment Agreement shall constitute a new Tranche, which shall be separate
and distinct from the existing Tranches pursuant to this Agreement (with a
designation which may be made in letters (i.e., A, B, C, etc.), numbers
(1, 2, 3, etc.) or a combination thereof (i.e., A-1, A-2, A-3, B-1, B-2,
B-3, C-1, C-2, C-3, etc.), provided that with the consent of
Administrative Agent, the parties to a given Incremental Term Loan Commitment
Agreement may specify therein that the respective Incremental Term Loans made
pursuant thereto shall constitute part of, and be added to, an existing Tranche
of Incremental Term Loans or the outstanding Tranche of Initial Term Loans, in
either case so long as the following requirements are satisfied:

 

(i)            the Incremental Term Loans to be made
pursuant to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall have the same
Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date and shall have the same Applicable Margins
as the Tranche of Term Loans to which the new Incremental Term Loans are being
added;

 

(ii)           the new Incremental Term Loans shall have
the same Scheduled Repayment Dates as then remain with respect to the Tranche
to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added (with the amount of
each Scheduled Repayment applicable to such new Incremental Term Loans to be
the same (on a proportionate basis) as is theretofore applicable to the Tranche
to which such new Incremental Term Loans are being added, thereby increasing
the amount of each then remaining Scheduled Repayment of the respective Tranche
proportionately); and

 

(iii)          on
the date of the making of such new Incremental Term Loans, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.2B, such new Incremental
Term Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each borrowing of outstanding
Term Loans of the respective Tranche on a pro  rata basis (based
on the relative sizes of the various outstanding borrowings), so that each
Lender will participate proportionately in each then outstanding borrowing (and
the related Interest Periods, if any) of Term Loans of the respective Tranche.

 

To the extent the
provisions of preceding clause (iii) require that Lenders making new
Incremental Term Loans add such Incremental Term Loans to the then outstanding
Interest Periods of LIBOR Loans of such Tranche, it is acknowledged that the
effect thereof may result in such new Incremental Term Loans having short
Interest Periods (i.e., an Interest Period that began during an Interest
Period then applicable to outstanding LIBOR Loans of such Tranche and which
will end on the last day of such Interest Period).  In connection therewith, Company hereby
agrees to compensate the Lenders making the new Incremental Term Loans of the
respective Tranche for funding LIBOR Loans during an existing Interest Period
on such basis as may be agreed by Company and the respective Lender or Lenders
as may be provided in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment
Agreement.

2.12         Incremental RL Commitments.

 

A.            So long as the Incremental
Loan Commitment Request Requirements are satisfied at the time of the delivery
of the request referred to below, Company shall have the right, with the
consent of, and in coordination with, Administrative Agent as to all of the
matters set forth below in this Section 2.12, but without requiring the
consent of any of the Lenders, to request at any time and from time to time
after the Closing Date and prior to the date which is 12 months prior to the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date, that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more
other Persons which are Eligible Assignees and which will become Lenders as
provided below) provide Incremental RL Commitments and, subject to the
applicable terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, make Revolving
Loans and participate in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans pursuant
thereto; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no
Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental RL Commitment as a result
of any such request by Company, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has
agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental RL Commitment and
executed and delivered to Administrative Agent an Incremental RL Commitment
Agreement in respect thereof as provided in Section 2.12B, such Lender
shall not be obligated to fund any Revolving Loans in excess of its Revolving
Loan Commitment as in effect prior to giving effect to such Incremental RL
Commitment provided pursuant to this Section 2.12, (ii) any Lender
(including any Eligible Assignee which will become a Lender) may so provide an
Incremental RL Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, (iii) each
provision of Incremental RL Commitments on a given date pursuant to this Section 2.12
shall be in a minimum aggregate amount (for all Lenders (including any Eligible
Assignee which will become a Lender)) of at least $25,000,000 and in integral
multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, (iv) the aggregate amount of
all Incremental RL Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 2.12
shall not exceed $50,000,000, and when combined with the aggregate amount of
all Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided pursuant to Section 2.11,
shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Commitment Amount, (v) the
Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to such Incremental RL Commitments shall be
subject to the Applicable Margins as are set forth in the Incremental RL
Commitment Agreement governing such Incremental RL Commitments, which
Applicable Margins shall be equal to or greater than the Applicable Margins in
effect for Revolving Loans at such time, provided, however, that
if the Applicable Margins for such Incremental RL Commitments exceed the
Applicable Margins for Revolving Loans then in effect, the Applicable Margins
for all then outstanding Revolving Loans shall be increased as of such date in
accordance with the requirements of the definitions of “Applicable Revolving
Loan Base Rate Margin” and “Applicable Revolving Loan LIBOR Margin”, (vi) in
the event that the upfront or similar fees payable to the Lenders providing
such Incremental RL Commitments (amortized over the life of such Incremental RL
Commitments) exceed the upfront or similar fees paid to the Lenders in
connection with the Revolving Loan Commitments previously in effect (amortized
over the life of such Revolving Loan 

 

78

 

Commitments), Company shall
pay to the Lenders providing such existing Revolving Loan Commitments a fee
equal to such excess (to be shared by such Lenders ratably on the basis of
their Pro  Rata Shares of such existing Revolving Loan
Commitments), which fee shall be paid on the effective date of any such
Incremental RL Commitments as provided in Section 2.12B, and (vii) all
Incremental Revolving Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable
thereon) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable
Loan Documents and shall be secured by the Collateral Documents, and guaranteed
under the Subsidiary Guaranty, on a pari  passu basis with all
other Obligations secured by the Collateral Documents and guaranteed under the
Subsidiary Guaranty.

 

B.            At the time of the provision
of Incremental RL Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.12, Company,
Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Assignee which
agrees to provide an Incremental RL Commitment (each, an “Incremental RL
Lender”) shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Incremental
RL Commitment Agreement, with the effectiveness of such Incremental RL Lender’s
Incremental RL Commitment to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental RL
Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date
on which (w) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the
time of such effectiveness shall have been paid (including, without limitation,
any agreed upon up-front or arrangement fees owing to Administrative Agent (or
any Affiliate thereof)), (x) all Incremental Loan Commitment Requirements
are satisfied, (y) all other conditions set forth in this Section 2.12
shall have been satisfied, and (z) all other conditions precedent that may
be set forth in such Incremental RL Commitment Agreement shall have been
satisfied.  Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental RL
Commitment Agreement, and at such time (i) the Revolving Loan Commitments
under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the
aggregate amount of such Incremental RL Commitments, (ii) Schedule 2.1
shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Revolving Loan Commitment of
the affected Lenders and (iii) to the extent requested by any Incremental
RL Lender, Revolving Notes will be issued, at Company’s expense, to such Incremental
RL Lender in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.1E.

 

C.            At the time of any provision
of Incremental RL Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.12, Company
shall, in coordination with Administrative Agent, repay outstanding Revolving
Loans of certain of the Lenders having a Revolving Loan Commitment, and incur
additional Revolving Loans from certain other Lenders having a Revolving Loan
Commitment (including the Incremental RL Lenders), in each case to the extent
necessary so that all of the Lenders having a Revolving Loan Commitment
participate in each outstanding borrowing of Revolving Loans (and the related
Interest Periods) pro  rata on the basis of their respective
Revolving Loan Commitment (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving
Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.12) and with Company being
obligated to pay to the respective Lenders having a Revolving Loan Commitment
any costs of the type referred to in Section 2.6D in connection with any
such repayment and/or borrowing.

 

2.13         Company, Investor and Affiliate Term Loan
Purchases.

 

A.            Company Purchases. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.4
or any other provision of this Agreement and without otherwise limiting the
rights in respect of prepayments of the Term Loans of Company, so long as no
Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Company or any Subsidiary of Company may repurchase outstanding Term Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.13A on the following basis:

 

79

 

(i)            Company or any Subsidiary of
Company may make one or more offers (each, an “Offer”) to repurchase all
or any portion of the Term Loans (such Term Loans, the “Offer Loans”) of
Lenders; provided that (i) Company or such Subsidiary delivers a
notice of such Offer to Administrative Agent and all Lenders holding Term Loans
no later than noon (New York City time) at least five Business Days in advance
of a proposed consummation date of such Offer indicating (a) the last date
on which such Offer may be accepted, (b) the maximum dollar amount of such
Offer, (c) the repurchase price per dollar of principal amount of such
Offer Loans at which Company or such Subsidiary is willing to repurchase such
Offer Loans (which repurchase price shall not exceed $0.95 per dollar) and (d) the
instructions, consistent with this Section 2.13A with respect to the
Offer, that a Term Lender must follow in order to have its Offer Loans
repurchased; (ii) the maximum dollar amount of each Offer shall be no less
than $10,000,000; (iii) Company or such Subsidiary shall hold such Offer
open for a minimum period of two Business Days; (iv) a Lender which elects
to participate in the Offer may choose to sell all or part of such Lender’s Offer
Loans; (v) such Offer shall be made to Lenders holding the Offer Loans on
a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective principal amounts of Term
Loans then due and owing to the Lenders; (vi) such Offer shall be made to
Lenders holding the Offer Loans either at a fixed price or on the basis of a
modified Dutch auction administered by Administrative Agent; (vii) no more
than ten Offers
may be made by Company and its Subsidiaries in the aggregate during the term of
this Agreement; and (viii) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans
repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.13A (calculated based on the par
amount thereof) shall not exceed $110,000,000; provided, further
that, if any Lender elects not to participate in the Offer, either in whole or
in part, the amount of such Lender’s Offer Loans not being tendered shall be
excluded in calculating the pro rata amount applicable to the balance of such
Offer Loans;

 

(ii)           with respect to all
repurchases made by Company or a Subsidiary of Company, such repurchases shall
be deemed to be voluntary prepayments pursuant to Section 2.4B(i) in
an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans, provided
that such repurchases shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 2.4
and Section 10.5;

 

(iii)          immediately upon repurchase
by Company or any Subsidiary of Company, (i) all principal and accrued and
unpaid interest on the Term Loans so repurchased shall be deemed to have been
paid for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by
Company or such Subsidiary), for all purposes of this Agreement and all other
Loan Documents and (ii) Company or any Subsidiary of Company, as the case
may be, will promptly advise Administrative Agent of the total amount of Offer
Loans that were repurchased from each Lender who elected to participate in the
Offer; and

 

80

 

(iv)          failure by Company or a
Subsidiary of Company to make any payment to a Lender required by an agreement
permitted by this Section 2.13A shall not constitute an Event of Default
under Section 8.1.

 

In connection with any
optional prepayments by Company of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13,
such prepayments shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding
Term Loans being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans
are Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans; provided that if all Lenders elect
to participate in the Offer on a pro rata basis in accordance with their
respective principal amounts then due and owing, such prepayments shall be
applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application
to LIBOR Loans.

 

B.            Investor and Affiliate Term Loan
Purchases.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the definition of Eligible Assignee or in Section 10.1, any Investor or
Affiliate of an Investor (other than Company or any Subsidiary or Unrestricted
Subsidiary of Company) may be an assignee in respect of Term Loans (and to such
extent shall constitute an “Eligible Assignee”); provided that:

 

(i)            at the time of (and after
giving effect to) any assignment the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans
held by Investors and Affiliates thereof at such time shall not exceed 30% of
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans;

 

(ii)           notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the definition of “Requisite Lenders”, or in Section 10.6,
the Investor or Affiliate of an Investor holding any Term Loans acquired
pursuant to this Section 2.13B shall not be entitled to vote such Term Loans
held by such Investor or Affiliate in any vote pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and for purposes of any such vote such
Term Loans shall be deemed not to be outstanding; provided that (I) no
amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deprive such Investor  or Affiliate of its Pro Rata Share of any
payments to which such Investor or Affiliate is entitled under the Loan
Documents without such Investor’s or Affiliate’s prior written consent and (II) such
Investor or Affiliate shall have the right to approve any amendment,
modification, waiver, or consent of the type referred to in Section 10.6A(i),
(ii), (iii) or (iv) (in the case of clause 10.6A(i) to the
extent that such Investor or Affiliate is directly affected thereby);

 

(iii)          Investors and Affiliates
thereof shall not be entitled to exercise any right pursuant to Section 2.4B(iv)(c) hereof
if such exercise would result in the Investors and Affiliates thereof holding
in aggregate more than 30% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Term Loans;

 

(iv)          Investors and Affiliates
thereof shall be prohibited from being appointed as, or succeeding to the
rights and duties of, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and

 

81

 

(v)           by acquiring a Term Loan
hereunder, each Investor and Affiliate thereof shall be deemed to have (I) waived
its right to receive information prepared by Administrative Agent or any Lender
(or any advisor, agent or counsel thereof) under or in connection with the Loan
Documents (in each case to the extent not provided to Company) and attend any
meeting or conference call with Administrative Agent or any Lender (except to
the extent attended by Company), and (II) agreed that it is prohibited
from making or bringing any claim, solely in its capacity as a Lender, against
Administrative Agent with respect to the duties and obligations of
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (it being understood and agreed
that nothing in this subclause (II) shall prevent any such Investor or
Affiliate which becomes a Lender hereunder (1) from taking action to
enforce the contractual duties and obligations of Administrative Agent
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (2) from making or bringing
any claim based on gross negligence or willful misconduct or (3) from
making or bringing any claim against Administrative Agent or other Person in
any other capacity).

 

SECTION 3.           LETTERS
OF CREDIT

 

3.1           Issuance of Letters of Credit.

 

A.            In addition to Company
requesting that Lenders make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.1A(ii) and
that Swing Line Lender make Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.1A(iii),
subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Company may
request that an Issuing Lender issue, at any time and from time to time on and
after the Closing Date and prior to the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date, for the account of Company and for the benefit of
(x) any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for
any such holders) of L/C Supportable Obligations, an irrevocable standby letter
of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other
form as is reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender, and (y) sellers
of goods to Company or any of its Subsidiaries, an irrevocable trade letter of
credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form
as has been approved by such Issuing Lender (each such letter of credit, a “Letter
of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”).  All Letters of Credit shall be issued on a
sight basis only and shall be denominated in Dollars or such other readily and
freely available foreign currency as shall be agreed by the Issuing Lender (any
amount which is denominated in a currency other than Dollars being determined
by reference to the applicable Exchange Rate for such currency as at any date
of determination).

 

B.            Subject to and upon the
terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Lender agrees that it will,
at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to
the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, following
its receipt of the respective Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit in the
form of Exhibit III annexed hereto as provided in Section 3.3
below, issue for account of Company, one or more Letters of Credit as are permitted
to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Potential Event
Default or an Event of Default; provided that no Issuing Lender shall be
under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit of the types described above
if at the time of such issuance:

 

82

 

(i)            any order, judgment or
decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms
to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or
any requirement of law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental
authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request
that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit
generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such
Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve
or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise
compensated hereunder) not in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender on the
date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable
or in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender as of the date hereof and
which such Issuing Lender reasonably and in good faith deems material to it; or

 

(ii)           such Issuing Lender shall
have received from Company, any other Loan Party or the Requisite Lenders prior
to the issuance of such Letter of Credit notice of the type described in the second
sentence of Section 3.3B.

 

3.2           Maximum Letter of Credit Usage; Final
Maturities.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no
Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the
Letter of Credit Usage (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the
date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such
time (calculating any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than
Dollars by reference to the applicable Exchange Rate for such currency as at
any date of determination) would exceed either (x) $20,000,000 or (y) when
added to the sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving
Loans then outstanding and (II) the aggregate principal amount of all
Swing Line Loans then outstanding, an amount equal to the Revolving Loan
Commitments at such time, and (ii) each Letter of Credit shall by its
terms terminate (x) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, on or before
the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the
issuance thereof (although any such standby Letter of Credit may be extendible
for successive periods of up to 12 months, but, in each case, not beyond the
tenth (10th) Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, on terms
acceptable to the Issuing Lender) and (B) ten (10) Business Days
prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and (y) in the case of trade
Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs
180 days after the date of issuance thereof and (B) thirty (30) days prior
to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

 

3.3           Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount.

 

A.            Whenever Company desires
that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, Company shall deliver to
Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender a Request for Issuance
of Letter of Credit in the form of Exhibit III annexed hereto no
later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least five Business Days’ (or
such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) prior to the
proposed date of issuance thereof (including by way of facsimile).

 

83

 

B.            The making of each Request
for Issuance of Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation and
warranty by Company to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in
accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.2.  Unless the respective Issuing Lender has
received notice from Company, any other Loan Party or the Requisite Lenders
before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions
specified in Section 4 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of
such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.2, then such Issuing Lender
shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the
requested Letter of Credit for the account of Company in accordance with such
Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. 
Upon the issuance of or modification or amendment to any standby Letter
of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Company and Administrative
Agent, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice
shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective
modification or amendment thereto, as the case may be.  Promptly after receipt of such notice
Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such
issuance, modification or amendment.  On
the first Business Day of each week, each Issuing Lender shall furnish
Administrative Agent with a written (including via facsimile) report of the
daily aggregate outstandings of trade Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing
Lender for the immediately preceding week. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in
the event that a Funding Default exists with respect to any Lender having a
Revolving Loan Commitment, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, renew,
extend or amend any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Lender has entered
into arrangements satisfactory to it and Company to eliminate such Issuing
Lender’s risk with respect to each Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters
of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which arrangements are hereby
consented to by the Lenders), including by cash collateralizing each Defaulting
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of
Credit Usage with respect to such Letters of Credit (such arrangements, the “Letter
of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements”).

 

C.            The initial Stated Amount of
each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 or such lesser amount as
is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.

 

3.4           Letter of Credit Participations.

 

A.            Immediately upon the
issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender
shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender having a Revolving
Loan Commitment, and each such Lender (in its capacity under this Section 3.4,
a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have
purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty,
an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate
amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments, in such Letter of Credit, each
drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of Company under this
Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty
pertaining thereto.  Upon any change in
the Revolving Loan Commitments or Pro Rata Share of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10
or 10.1B, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of
Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic
adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.4 to reflect
the new Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments
of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be.

 

84

 

B.            In determining whether to
pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation
relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required
to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and
that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of
such Letter of Credit.  Any action taken
or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any
Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any
resulting liability to Company, any other Loan Party, any Lender or any other
Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence
or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

 

C.            In the event that an Issuing
Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and Company
shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant
to Section 3.5A, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative
Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each
Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the
amount of such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such
unreimbursed payment in Dollars (which amount, in the case of a drawing under a
Letter of Credit which is denominated in a currency other than Dollars, shall
be calculated by reference to the applicable Exchange Rate) and in same day
funds.  If Administrative Agent so
notifies, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any Business Day, any
Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such
Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Lender in Dollars
(which amount, in the case of a drawing under a Letter of Credit which is
denominated in a currency other than Dollars, shall be calculated by reference
to the applicable Exchange Rate) such Participant’s Pro Rata
Share of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day
funds.  If and to the extent such
Participant shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of the
amount of such payment available to the respective Issuing Lender, such
Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand, such
amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the
date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds
Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Revolving
Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter.  The failure of any Participant to make
available to an Issuing Lender its Pro Rata Share of any
payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not
relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to
such Issuing Lender its Pro Rata Share of any payment under
any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no
Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to
make available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s Pro Rata
Share of any such payment.

 

D.            Whenever an Issuing Lender
receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received
any payments from the Participants pursuant to Section 3.4C above, such
Issuing Lender shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its Pro Rata
Share thereof, in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such
Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally
funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants)
of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon
accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

 

85

 

E.             Upon the request of any
Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant copies of
any standby Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may
reasonably be requested by such Participant.

 

F.             The obligations of the
Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of
Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception
whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of
the following circumstances:

 

(i)            any lack of validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

 

(ii)           the existence of any claim,
setoff, defense or other right which Company or any of its Subsidiaries may
have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any
transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee
may be acting), Administrative Agent, any Participant, or any other Person,

A.            Company agrees to reimburse
each Issuing Lender, by making payment to Administrative Agent in immediately
available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by
such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount,
so paid until reimbursed by Company, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later
than one Business Day following receipt by Company of notice of such payment or
disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given
if a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default under Section 8.6
shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall
be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice
of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by Company)), with interest on the
amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not
reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of such payment
or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding
the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by Company therefor at a rate per
annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable
Revolving Base Rate Margin as in effect from time to time; provided, however,
to the extent 

 

86

 

such amounts are not
reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day
following the receipt by Company of notice of such payment or disbursement or
following the occurrence of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default
under Section 8.6, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid
or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by Company) at a rate
per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the
Applicable Revolving Base Rate Margin as in effect from time to time plus
2.00%, with such interest to be payable on demand.  Company shall make all payments required
pursuant to this Section 3.5 in Dollars (which amount, in the case of a
drawing under a Letter of Credit which is denominated in a currency other than
Dollars, shall be calculated by reference to the applicable Exchange
Rate).  Each Issuing Lender shall give
Company prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit issued
by it, provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way
affect, impair or diminish Company’s obligations hereunder.

 

B.            The obligations of Company
under this Section 3.5 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to
drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit
issued by it (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest
thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances
and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which
Company or any Subsidiary of Company may have or have had against any Lender
(including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant),
including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any
drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of
Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the
proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that Company shall
not be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made
by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of
acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the
part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a final and non-appealable decision).

 

C.            In addition to amounts
payable as provided in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 3.5
and in Section 3.6, Company hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and
save harmless each Issuing Lender from and against any and all claims, demands,
liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable
fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal
counsel) which such Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence,
direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by such
Issuing Lender, other than as a result of (a) the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (b) the
wrongful dishonor by such Issuing Lender of a proper demand for payment made
under any Letter of Credit issued by it or (ii) the failure of such
Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result
of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future
de jure or de facto government or governmental authority.

 

3.6           Increased Costs. 
If at any time after the Closing Date, the introduction of or any change
in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the
interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any governmental
authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Participant with any request or
directive by the NAIC or by any such governmental authority (whether or not
having the force of law) shall either (i) impose, modify or make
applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement
against letters of credit issued by any 

 

87

 

Issuing Lender or
participated in by any Participant, or (ii) impose on any Issuing Lender
or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to
this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing
is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Participant of issuing,
maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of
any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant
hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters
of Credit (except for changes relating to Taxes), then, upon the delivery of
the certificate referred to below to Company by any Issuing Lender or any
Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender
or such Participant to Administrative Agent), Company agrees to pay to such
Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant for such increased cost or
reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its
capital.  Any Issuing Lender or any
Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable to it
pursuant to this Section 3.6, will give prompt written notice thereof to
Company, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to Company by such
Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent
by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to Administrative Agent), setting
forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional
amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant.  The certificate required to be delivered
pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall, absent manifest error, be final and
conclusive and binding on Company.

 

3.7           Existing Letters of Credit.  Schedule
3.7 contains a description of letters of credit that were issued pursuant
to the Existing Credit Agreement and which remain outstanding on the Closing
Date (and setting forth, with respect to each such letter of credit, (i) the
name of the issuing lender, (ii) the letter of credit number, (iii) the
name(s) of the account party or account parties, (iv) the stated
amount, (v) the currency in which the letter of credit is denominated, (vi) the

such letter of credit constitutes a standby letter of credit or a trade letter
of credit).  Each such letter of credit,
including any extension or renewal thereof in accordance with the terms thereof
and hereof (each, as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms
thereof and hereof, an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall constitute a “Letter
of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be deemed issued on the
Closing Date.

94

 

4.4           Satisfaction of Conditions to Closing
Date.  In determining the satisfaction of the
conditions specified in Section 4.1, (i) to the extent any item is
required to be satisfactory to any Lender, such item shall be deemed
satisfactory to each Lender which has not notified Administrative Agent in
writing prior to the occurrence of the Closing Date that the respective item or
matter does not meet its satisfaction and (y) in determining whether any
Lender is aware of any fact, condition or event that has occurred and which
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or a material

has not notified Administrative Agent in writing prior to the occurrence of the

of any such fact, condition or event on the Closing Date.  Upon Administrative Agent’s good faith
determination that the conditions specified in Section 4.1 have been met
(after giving effect to the preceding sentence), then the Closing Date shall
have been deemed to have occurred, regardless of any subsequent determination
that one or more of the conditions thereto had not been met (although the
occurrence of the Closing Date shall not release Company from any liability for
failure to satisfy one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Section 4.1).

The acceptance of the benefits of each Loan and Letter of Credit shall

each of the Lenders that all the conditions specified in Section 4.1 (with
respect to Loans and Letters of Credit on the Closing Date), in Section 4.2
(with respect to all Loans) and in Section 4.3 (with respect to all
Letters of Credit) are satisfied as of that time.

shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and
the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, on the date
of this Agreement, on each Funding Date and on the date of issuance of each
Letter of Credit, that the following statements are true, correct and complete

sheet of Company and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2008 and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows
of Company and its Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year then ended.  All such statements present fairly in all
material respects the consolidated financial condition of Company and its
Subsidiaries at the date of said financial statements and the results for the

of Company and its Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Quarter then ended.  All such statements present fairly in all
material respects the consolidated financial condition of Company and its
Subsidiaries at the date of said financial statements and the results for the
period covered thereby, and were prepared in conformity with GAAP consistently
applied except to the extent provided in the notes to said financial statements
and subject to normal year-end audit adjustments (all of which are of a
recurring nature and none of which, individually or in the aggregate, would be
material) and the absence of footnotes.

 

5.4           No Material Adverse Effect. 
Since December 31, 2008, no event or change has occurred that has
caused or evidences, either in any case or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

5.5           Title to Properties; Liens. 
Neither Company nor any other Loan Party owns in fee simple any Real
Property as of the Closing Date.  Company
and each of its Subsidiaries have good title to, or valid leasehold interests
in, all properties that are necessary for the conduct of their respective
businesses as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, free and clear of
all Liens (other than any Liens permitted by this Agreement), except where the
failure to have such good title or leasehold interests could not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.6           Intellectual Property. 
Company and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all
Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of their respective businesses
as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, free and clear of all Liens,
except where the failure to so own or license could not, individually or in the

5.7           Litigation; Adverse Facts. 
Except as set forth in Schedule 5.6 annexed hereto, there are no
actions, suits, proceedings, arbitrations or governmental investigations
(whether or not purportedly on behalf of Company or any of its Subsidiaries) at
law or in equity, or before or by any federal, state, municipal or other
governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality,
domestic or foreign (including any Environmental Claims) that are pending or,
to the knowledge of Company, threatened against or affecting Company or any of
its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate (taking into
consideration, among other things, the ability of Company and its Subsidiaries
to obtain indemnification in respect thereof from Persons that are willing and
able to honor any existing indemnification obligations with respect thereto),
could reasonably be expected to result in, either individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

97

 

5.8           Payment of Taxes. 
Each of Company, each of its Subsidiaries and each other corporation
(each a “Consolidated Corporation”) with whom Company or any of its
Subsidiaries joins in the filing of a consolidated return has filed all Federal
income tax returns and other material tax returns and reports, domestic and
foreign, required to be filed by it, and has paid all material taxes,
assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or imposed upon it or
its respective properties, income or assets to the extent the same have become
due and payable, except those which are not yet delinquent or which are being
contested in good faith and with respect to which a reserve has been
established in accordance with GAAP.  There
is no proposed tax assessment action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit or
claim now pending or, to the best knowledge of Company, threatened against
Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Consolidated Corporation that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.9           Use of Proceeds; Governmental Regulation.

Term Loans will be used by Company to finance the Closing Date Refinancing, to
repurchase or redeem all remaining Existing Senior Subordinated Notes not
repurchased on the Closing Date and to pay fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the Transaction.

 

B.            All proceeds of the
Revolving Loans and the Swing Line Loans will be used for the working capital

for the purposes described in Section 5.9A and (y) the proceeds of
Swing Line Loans shall not be used to refinance then outstanding Swing Line Loans.

 

C.            All proceeds of the
Incremental Term Loans shall be utilized for general corporate purposes of
Company and its Subsidiaries.

Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit (or the proceeds thereof) will be used
to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, in violation of Regulation U.  Neither the making of any extension of credit
hereunder, nor use of any of the proceeds thereof, will violate or be inconsistent
with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.

 

E.             Neither Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

5.10         Employee Benefit Plans.

 

A.            Schedule 5.10A set forth each
Pension Plan and Multiemployer Plan as of the Closing Date.  Company and each of its Subsidiaries are in
compliance with all applicable provisions of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code
and other applicable federal, state or foreign law with respect to each Plan,
and have performed all of their obligations under each Plan, except to the
extent that failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Company and each of its Subsidiaries have
made all required contributions to any Pension Plan, except to the extent that
a failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no application for a funding
waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412
of the Internal Revenue Code has been made with respect to any Pension Plan.

 

98

 

B.            There are no pending or, to
the knowledge of Company, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by
any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan which, individually or in
the aggregate, have resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

 

C.            (i) No ERISA Event has
occurred or is reasonably expected to occur except to the extent that any such
event, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) no Pension Plan has any Unfunded
Pension Liability in an amount which, individually or in the aggregate for all
Pension Plans (excluding for purposes of such computation any Pension Plans
with respect to which assets exceed benefit liabilities), would reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect if such Pension Plan or Pension Plans were
then terminated; and (iii) neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
engaged in a transaction described in Section 4069 or 4212(c) of
ERISA that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.11         Environmental Protection. 
Company and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all
applicable Environmental Laws in respect of the conduct of its business and the
ownership of its property, except such noncompliance as could not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.  Without limiting the effect of
the preceding sentence:

 

(a)           neither Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries has received a complaint, order, citation, notice or other
written communication with respect to the existence or alleged existence of a
violation of, or liability arising under, any Environmental Law, the outcome of
which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect; and

 

(b)           there are no environmental,
health or safety conditions existing or reasonably expected to exist at any
real property owned, operated, leased or used by Company or any of its existing
or former Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors, including
off-site treatment or disposal facilities used by Company or its existing or
former Subsidiaries for wastes treatment or disposal, which could reasonably be
expected to require any construction or other capital costs or any clean-up
obligations to be incurred prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date in order to
assure compliance with any Environmental Law, including provisions regarding
clean-up, to the extent that any of such conditions, construction or other
capital costs or clean-up obligations, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

99

 

5.12         Disclosure.  All factual
information (taken as a whole) furnished by or on behalf of Company or any of
its Subsidiaries to Administrative Agent or any Lender in writing on or before
the Closing Date (including any such information contained in the Confidential
Information Memorandum or in any Loan Document or Related Agreement or in any
other document, certificate or written statement furnished to Lenders by or on
behalf of Company or any of its Subsidiaries) for purposes of or use in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein is, and all other
such factual information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf
of Company in writing to Administrative Agent or any Lender will be true and
correct in all material respects and not incomplete by omitting to state any
fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and therein,
taken as a whole, not materially misleading at such time in light of the
circumstances in which the same were made, it being understood that, for
purposes of this Section 5.12, such factual information does not include
projections and pro  forma financial information.  Any projections and pro  forma
financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith
estimates and assumptions believed by Company to be reasonable at the time
made, it being recognized by Lenders that such projections as to future events
are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods
covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results.

 

5.13         Compliance with Statutes, etc. 
Each of Company and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all
applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions
imposed by, all governmental authorities in respect of the conduct of its
business and the ownership of its property (including, without limitation,
applicable statutes, regulations, orders and restrictions relating to
environmental standards and controls), except such non-compliances as could
not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.14         Matters Relating to Collateral.

 

A.            Creation, Perfection and
Priority of Liens.  (i) The
execution and delivery of the Collateral Documents by the Loan Parties,
together with (a) the actions taken on or prior to the date hereof
pursuant to Sections 4.1G, 4.1H and 6.7 hereof and (b) the delivery to
Collateral Agent of any Pledged Collateral not delivered to Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent at the time of execution and delivery of the
applicable Collateral Document (all of which Pledged Collateral has been so
delivered and, if such Pledged Collateral had been previously delivered to
Administrative Agent, such Pledged Collateral has been delivered by
Administrative Agent to Collateral Agent) are effective to create in favor of
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, for the benefit
of the appropriate Secured Parties (as defined in such Collateral Document), as
security for the respective Secured Obligations (as defined in the applicable
Collateral Document in respect of any Collateral), a valid and perfected First
Priority Lien on all of the Collateral, and all filings and other actions
necessary or desirable to perfect and maintain the perfection and First
Priority status of such Liens have been duly made or taken and remain in full
force and effect, other than the filing or recording of any UCC financing
statements or other Collateral Documents delivered to Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent for filing or recordation (but not yet filed or recorded) and
the periodic filing of UCC continuation statements in respect of UCC financing
statements filed by or on behalf of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.

 

100

 

(ii)           Once executed and delivered
pursuant to the terms of Section 6.7B, each Mortgage creates, as security
for the obligations purported to be secured thereby, a valid and enforceable
perfected security interest in and mortgage lien on the respective Mortgaged
Property in favor of Collateral Agent (or such other trustee as may be required
or desired under local law) for the benefit of the Secured Parties, superior and
prior to the rights of all third Persons (except that the security interest and
mortgage lien created on such Mortgaged Property may be subject to the
Permitted Encumbrances related thereto) and subject to no other Liens (other
than Permitted Encumbrances related thereto).

 

B.            Governmental Authorizations.  No authorization, approval or other action
by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory
body is required for either (i) the pledge or grant by any Loan Party of
the Liens purported to be created in favor of Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent pursuant to any of the Collateral Documents or (ii) the
exercise by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies
in respect of any Collateral (whether specifically granted or created pursuant
to any of the Collateral Documents or created or provided for by applicable
law), except for filings or recordings contemplated by Section 5.14A and
except as may be required, in connection with the disposition of any Pledged
Collateral, by laws generally affecting the offering and sale of securities.

 

C.            Absence of Third-Party
Filings.  Except such as may have been
filed in favor of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as contemplated by Section 5.14A
and filings for Liens permitted hereunder, (i) no effective UCC financing
statement, fixture filing or other instrument similar in effect covering all or
any part of the Collateral is on file in any filing or recording office (except
as may have been filed (a) to secure Indebtedness which is no longer
outstanding and (b) with respect to commitments to lend which have been
terminated) and (ii) no effective filing concerning a security interest or
other Lien covering all or any part of the IP Collateral material to the Company’s
business is on file in the PTO or the United States Copyright Office.

 

D.            Margin Regulations.  The pledge of the Pledged Collateral pursuant
to the Collateral Documents does not violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

 

E.             Information Regarding
Collateral.  All
information supplied to Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent by or on
behalf of any Loan Party with respect to any of the Collateral (in each case
taken as a whole with respect to any particular Collateral) is accurate and
complete in all material respects.

 

5.15            Insurance.  Schedule
5.15 sets forth a listing of all insurance maintained by Company and its
Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (other than local insurance policies
maintained by Foreign Subsidiaries of Company that are not material), with the
amounts insured (and any deductibles) set forth therein.

 

5.16         Indebtedness. 
Schedule 7.1 sets forth a list of all Indebtedness (including contingent
obligations) of Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date and which
is to remain outstanding after giving effect to the Transaction (excluding the
Loans, the Letters of Credit, the New Senior Notes and any remaining
outstanding Existing Senior Subordinated Notes), in each case showing the aggregate
principal amount (as applicable) thereof and the name of the respective
borrower and any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries which directly or
indirectly guarantees such debt.

the Commitments hereunder shall remain in effect and until payment in full of
all of the Loans, Notes, Unpaid Drawings (in each case together with interest
thereon), Fees and all other Obligations and the cancellation or expiration of
all Letters of Credit, unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise give prior
written consent, Company shall perform, and shall cause each of its

material taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon it or
any of its properties or assets or in respect of any of its income, businesses
or franchises before any penalty accrues thereon, and all lawful material

Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that no such charge or
claim need be paid if it is being contested in good faith and by proper
proceedings, so long as it has maintained adequate reserves with respect

order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, all material properties
used or useful in the business of Company and its Subsidiaries (including all
material Intellectual Property) and from time to time will make or cause to be

maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurers (in the good faith
judgment of Company’s management), such public liability insurance, third party
property damage insurance, business interruption insurance and casualty
insurance with respect to liabilities, losses or damage in respect of the
assets, properties and businesses of the Loan Parties as may customarily be
carried or maintained under similar circumstances by corporations of
established reputation engaged in similar businesses, in each case in such
amounts (giving effect to self-insurance), with such deductibles, covering such
risks and otherwise on such terms and conditions as shall be customary for
corporations similarly situated in the industry.  Each such policy of insurance shall (a) name
Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties as an additional insured
thereunder as its interests may appear and (b) in the case of each
business interruption and casualty insurance policy, contain a loss payable
clause or endorsement, satisfactory in form and substance to Collateral Agent,
that names Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties as the loss
payee thereunder for any covered loss and provides for at least 30 days prior
written notice to Collateral Agent of any modification or cancellation of such
policy.  The provisions of this Section 6.4B
shall be deemed supplemental to, but not duplicative of, the provisions of any
Collateral Documents that require the maintenance of insurance.

 

6.5           Books, Records, and Inspection Rights. 
Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep proper

properties of Company or of any of its Material Subsidiaries, to inspect, copy
and make abstracts from its and their financial and accounting records, and to
discuss its and their affairs, finances and accounts with its and their
officers and independent public accountants (provided that Company may,
if it so chooses, be present at or participate in any such discussion), all
upon reasonable notice and at such reasonable times during normal business
hours and as often as may reasonably be requested.

 

107

 

6.6           Compliance with Laws, etc.

with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders (including
all Environmental Laws) of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over
it, except such as may be contested in good faith or as to which a bona fide
dispute may exist and except to the extent that noncompliance therewith could
not reasonably be expected to cause, individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

6.7           Execution of Loan Document by Future
Domestic Subsidiaries; Additional Collateral.

 

(i)            In the event that any
existing Domestic Subsidiary becomes a Pledged Subsidiary after the date hereof
or any Person becomes a Domestic Subsidiary after the date hereof and such
Domestic Subsidiary is a Pledged Subsidiary, in each case other than any
Designated Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (each, a “New Domestic Subsidiary”),
Company will promptly notify Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent of such
fact and cause such New Domestic Subsidiary to (i) execute and deliver to
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent a counterpart of the Subsidiary
Guaranty, the Pledge Agreement and the Security Agreement, (ii) cause the
capital stock owned by such New Domestic Subsidiary of any direct Domestic
Subsidiary (which is a Pledged Subsidiary) or direct any Material Foreign
Subsidiary of such New Domestic Subsidiary (or, if such New Domestic Subsidiary
owns 65% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Voting
Stock of any such direct Material Foreign Subsidiary, 65% of the Voting Stock
and 100% of the non-Voting Stock of such direct Material Foreign Subsidiary) to
be pledged under the Pledge Agreement and, in the case of any such direct
Material Foreign Subsidiary, also under any pledge agreements or instruments
that Collateral Agent deems necessary or advisable, or that Collateral Agent
may reasonably request, pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement to
effectuate such pledge in the jurisdiction in which such Material Foreign
Subsidiary is organized, and (iii) take all such further actions and
execute all such further documents and instruments (including actions, documents
and instruments comparable to those described in Section 4.1G and H) as
may be necessary or, in the opinion of Collateral Agent, desirable to create in
favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a valid and
perfected First Priority Lien on all of the personal and mixed property assets
of such Subsidiary described in the applicable forms of Collateral
Documents.  In the event that any Person
becomes a direct Domestic Subsidiary (which is a Pledged Subsidiary) of a
direct Material Foreign Subsidiary after the date hereof, Company will promptly
notify Collateral Agent of that fact and cause the capital stock owned by
Company of such direct Domestic Subsidiary or such direct

 

108

 

Material Foreign Subsidiary (or, if Company
owns 65% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Voting
Stock of any such direct Material Foreign Subsidiary, 65% of the Voting Stock
and 100% of the non-Voting Stock of such direct Material Foreign Subsidiary) to
be pledged under the Pledge Agreement and, in the case of any such direct
Material Foreign Subsidiary, also under any pledge agreements or instruments
that Collateral Agent deems necessary or advisable, or that Collateral Agent
may reasonably request, pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement to
effectuate such pledge in the jurisdiction in which such Material Foreign
Subsidiary is organized.

 

B.            Company will, and will cause
each other Loan Party to, grant to Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties Mortgages on Real Property not subject to a Permitted Lien
(such Mortgages limited to unencumbered owned Real Property with a fair market
value in excess of $3,500,000) as may be requested from time to time by
Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (collectively, the “Additional
Collateral Documents”). All such Mortgages shall be granted pursuant to
documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Collateral Agent
and shall constitute valid and enforceable First Priority Liens.  The Additional Collateral Documents or
instruments related thereto shall have been duly recorded or filed in such
manner and in such places as are required by law to establish, perfect,
preserve and protect the Liens in favor of Collateral Agent required to be
granted pursuant to the Additional Collateral Documents and all taxes, fees and
other charges payable in connection therewith shall have been paid in
full.  In the case of any Mortgages
pursuant to this Section 6.7B, Company or the respective Loan Party shall
deliver to Collateral Agent:

 

(i)            a fully executed counterpart
of such Mortgage and corresponding UCC Fixture Filings, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent, which Mortgage and UCC Fixture
Filings shall cover such Mortgaged Property, together with evidence that
counterparts of such Mortgage and UCC Fixture Filings have been delivered to
the title insurance company insuring the Lien of such Mortgage for recording;

 

(ii)           a Mortgage Policy relating
to such Mortgage of the respective Mortgaged Property, issued by a title
insurer reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent, in an insured amount
satisfactory to Collateral Agent and insuring Collateral Agent that the
Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property is a valid and enforceable first priority
mortgage lien on such Mortgaged Property, free and clear of all defects and
encumbrances except Permitted Encumbrances, with such Mortgage Policy (1) to
be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent, (2) to
include, as requested by Collateral Agent, to the extent available in the
applicable jurisdiction, supplemental endorsements (including, without
limitation, endorsements relating to future advances under this Agreement and
the Loans, usury, first loss, last dollar, tax parcel, subdivision, zoning,
contiguity, variable rate, doing business, public road access, survey,
environmental lien, mortgage tax and so-called comprehensive coverage over
covenants and restrictions and for any other matters that Collateral Agent in
its discretion may reasonably request), (3) to not include the “standard”
title exceptions, a survey exception or an exception for mechanics’ liens, and (4) to
provide for affirmative insurance and such reinsurance as Collateral Agent in its
discretion may reasonably request;

 

109

 

(iii)          to induce the title company
to issue the Mortgage Policy referred to in clause (ii) above, such
affidavits, certificates, information and instruments of indemnification
(including, without limitation, a so-called “gap” indemnification) as shall be
required by the title company, together with payment by Company of all Mortgage
Policy premiums, search and examination charges, mortgage recording taxes,
fees, charges, costs and expenses required for the recording of such Mortgage
and issuance of such Mortgage Policy;

 

(iv)          a survey of such Mortgaged
Property (and all improvements thereon) (1) prepared by a surveyor or
engineer licensed to perform surveys in the state where such Mortgaged Property
is located, (2) dated not earlier than six months prior to the date of
delivery thereof, (3) certified by the surveyor (in a manner reasonably
acceptable to Collateral Agent) to Collateral Agent in its capacity as such,
White & Case LLP and the title company, (4) complying in all
respects with the minimum detail requirements of the American Land Title
Association as such requirements are in effect on the date or preparation of
such survey, and (5) sufficient for the title company to remove all
standard survey exceptions from the Mortgage Policy relating to such Mortgaged
Property and issue the endorsements required pursuant to the provisions of
clause (ii) above;

 

(v)           to the extent requested by
Administrative Agent, copies of all leases in which Company or any other Loan
Party holds the lessor’s interest or other agreements relating to possessory
interests, if any; provided that, to the extent any of the foregoing
affect such Mortgaged Property, to the extent requested by Administrative
Agent, such agreements shall be subordinate to the Lien of the Mortgage to be
recorded against such Mortgaged Property, either expressly by its terms or
pursuant to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (with any
such agreement being reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent); and

 

(vi)          flood certificates covering
such Mortgaged Property in form and substance acceptable to Administrative
Agent, certified to Collateral Agent in its capacity as such and whether or not
such Mortgaged Property is located in a flood hazard area, as determined by
designation of each such Mortgaged Property in a specified flood hazard zone by
reference to the applicable FEMA map.

 

C.            Company will, and will cause
each of the other Loan Parties to, at the expense of Company, make, execute,
endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to Collateral Agent from time to time
such schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements,
transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, real property surveys,
reports, control agreements and other assurances or instruments and take such
further steps relating to the Collateral covered by any of the Collateral
Documents as Collateral Agent may reasonably require and are necessary for the
perfection or priority of the Liens intended to be granted by the Collateral
Documents. Furthermore, Company will, and will cause the other Loan Parties
that are Subsidiaries of Company to, deliver to Collateral Agent such opinions
of counsel, title insurance and other related documents as may be reasonably
requested by Administrative Agent to assure itself that this Section 6.7
has been complied with.

 

110

 

D.            If Administrative Agent or
the Requisite Lenders reasonably determine that they are required by law or
regulation to have appraisals prepared in respect of any Real Property of
Company and the other Loan Parties constituting Collateral, Company will, at
its own expense, provide to Administrative Agent appraisals which satisfy the
applicable requirements of the Real Estate Appraisal Reform Amendments of the
Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as amended,
and which shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Administrative Agent.

 

E.             Company agrees that each
action required by clauses (B) through (D) of this Section 6.7
shall be completed as soon as possible, but in no event later than 60 days
after such action is requested to be taken by Administrative Agent (unless
extended by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); provided that
in no event will Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required to take any
action, other than using its best efforts, to obtain consents from third
parties with respect to its compliance with this Section 6.7.

 

6.8           Transactions with Affiliates. 
Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, conduct all
transactions with any of its Affiliates (other than Company or any of its
Subsidiaries) upon terms that are substantially as favorable to Company or such
Subsidiary as it would obtain in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a
Person not an Affiliate of Company or such Subsidiary; provided that the
foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (a) reasonable and customary
fees paid to members of the Board of Directors of Company and its Subsidiaries,
and (b) transactions otherwise expressly permitted hereunder between
Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any such Affiliate.

in (i) the lines of business carried on by Company and its Subsidiaries on

reasonably similar thereto or that constitute a reasonable extension,
development or expansion thereof or that are ancillary or reasonably related
thereto.

 

6.10         Fiscal Year; Fiscal Quarter. 
Company shall maintain (i) its and each of its Subsidiaries’ Fiscal
Year-end at December 31 of each year and (ii) its and each of its
Subsidiaries’ Fiscal Quarters to end on March 31, June 30, September 30
and December 31 of each year; provided that in the case of clause (i) above,
Company may, upon prior written notice to Administrative Agent, change such
Fiscal Year-end to any other date reasonably acceptable to Administrative
Agent, in which case Company and Administrative Agent shall, and are hereby
authorized by Lenders to, make any adjustments to this Agreement that are
necessary in order to reflect any corresponding changes in financial reporting.

 

111

organizational records and (iii) the maintenance of separate bank accounts

Company nor any of its Significant Subsidiaries shall take any action, or
conduct its affairs in a manner, which would reasonably be expected to result
in the existence of Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries being
ignored, or in the assets and liabilities of Company or any of its Significant
Subsidiaries being substantively consolidated with those of any other such
Person in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding.

to be, and the same shall forthwith become, immediately due and payable, and
the Commitment of each Lender, the obligation of any Issuing Lender to issue
any Letter of Credit and the right of any Lender to issue any Letter of Credit
hereunder shall thereupon terminate; provided that the foregoing shall
not affect in any way the obligations of Lenders under Section 3.4C or the
obligations of Lenders to purchase participations in any unpaid Swing Line
Loans as provided in Section 2.1A(iii), (II) enforce, as Collateral Agent,
all of the Liens and security interests created pursuant to the Collateral
Documents, and/or (III) apply any cash collateral held by Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Agreement to the repayment of the Obligations.

 

Any amounts described in clause (b) above, when
received by Administrative Agent, shall be held by Administrative Agent
pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Account Agreement and shall be applied
as therein provided.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained in the second
preceding paragraph, if at any time within 60 days after an acceleration of the
Loans pursuant to clause (ii) of such paragraph Company shall pay all
arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal which shall have
become due otherwise than as a result of such acceleration (with interest on
principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the
rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Potential
Events of Default (other than non-payment of the principal of and accrued
interest on the Loans, in each case which is due and payable solely by virtue
of 

 

123

 

acceleration) shall be
remedied or waived pursuant to Section 10.6, then Requisite Lenders, by
written notice to Company, may at their option rescind and annul such
acceleration and its consequences; but such action shall not affect any
subsequent Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.  The provisions of
this paragraph are intended merely to bind Lenders to a decision which may be
made at the election of Requisite Lenders and are not intended, directly or
indirectly, to benefit Company, and such provisions shall not at any time be
construed so as to grant Company the right to require Lenders to rescind or
annul any acceleration hereunder or to preclude Administrative Agent or Lenders
from exercising any of the rights or remedies available to them under any of
the Loan Documents, even if the conditions set forth in this paragraph are met.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 8, in the event that Company fails to comply with the
requirements of Section 7.6 as of the end of any relevant Fiscal Quarter,
Company shall have the right (the “Cure Right”) (at any time during such
Fiscal Quarter or thereafter until the date that is 10 days after the date the
Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(iii))
to receive cash contributions to its common equity or cash proceeds of common
equity issuances in an amount equal to no greater than that needed to cause
Company to be in compliance with the requirements of Section 7.6 (the “Cure
Amount”), and, provided 100% of such cash contribution has been
contributed, or such cash proceeds received, as common equity to Company as
common equity, thereupon Company’s compliance with Section 7.6 shall be
recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:  (i) Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA shall
be increased, solely for the purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.6,
as of the end of such Fiscal Quarter and applicable subsequent periods that
include such Fiscal Quarter by an amount equal to the Cure Amount (provided
that, for such relevant Fiscal Quarter, Consolidated Total Debt shall not be
recalculated to give effect to any repayment of Indebtedness with the Cure
Amount) and (ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations,
the requirements of Section 7.6 shall be satisfied, then the requirements
of Section 7.6 shall be deemed satisfied as of the end of the relevant
Fiscal Quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to
comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of Section 7.6
that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this
Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, (a) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the
amount required for purposes of complying with Section 7.6, (b) Company
shall not be entitled to exercise the Cure Right more than two times during the
term of this Agreement, (c) all Cure Amounts shall be disregarded for
purposes of determining baskets with respect to the covenants contained in the
Loan Documents, for purposes of determining pricing and for any other purpose,
and may not be used to make a Restricted Junior Payment, and (d) upon
Administrative Agent’s receipt of a notice from Company that it intends to
exercise the Cure Right (a “Notice of Intent to Cure”), until the 10th
day following date of delivery of the Compliance Certificate under Section 6.1(iii) to
which such Notice of Intent to Cure relates, none of Administrative Agent nor
any Lender shall exercise the right to accelerate the Loans or terminate the
Commitments and none of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent nor any other
Lender or Secured Parties shall (i) exercise any right to foreclose on or
take possession of the Collateral or (ii) exercise any other remedy
hereunder or applicable law solely on the basis of an Event of Default having
occurred and being continuing under Section 7.6.

 

124

 

SECTION 9.           ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

9.1           Appointment. 
The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint DB as
Administrative Agent (for purposes of this Section 9 and Section 10.2,
the term “Administrative Agent” also shall include DB in its capacity as Collateral
Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents) to act as specified herein and in
the other Loan Documents.  Each Lender
hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of
such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, Administrative Agent to
take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to
herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder
and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Administrative
Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto.  Administrative Agent
may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its officers,
directors, agents, employees or Affiliates.

 

9.2           Nature of Duties.

 

A.            Administrative Agent shall not have any
duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement
and in the other Loan Documents.  Neither
Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or
Affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or
therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct
(as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision).  The duties of
Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature;
Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder
of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document,
expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon
Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

 

B.            Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each
Lead Arranger is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its
capacity as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities
with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that each Lead
Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in
favor of Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under Section 10.2.  Without limitation of the foregoing, none of
Lead Arrangers shall, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any
other Person.

 

9.3           Lack of Reliance on Administrative Agent. 
Independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, each
Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has
made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of
the financial condition and affairs of Company and its Subsidiaries in
connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or
not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal
of the creditworthiness of Company and its Subsidiaries and, except as
expressly provided in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not have any
duty or

 

125

 

responsibility, either
initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any
Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming
into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times
thereafter.  Administrative Agent shall
not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals,
statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any
document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for
the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability,
perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or the financial condition of Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the
performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the financial condition of Company or
any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Potential
Event of Default or Event of Default.

 

9.4           Certain Rights of Administrative Agent. 
If Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Requisite Lenders
with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until
Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Requisite
Lenders; and Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by
reason of so refraining.  Without
limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall
have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of
Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any
other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders.

 

9.5           Reliance. 
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement,
certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order
or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that
Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all
legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Loan Document and its
duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by
Administrative Agent.

 

9.6           Right to Indemnity. 
To the extent Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) is not
reimbursed and indemnified by Company, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify
Administrative Agent (and any Affiliate thereof) in proportion to their
respective “percentage” as used in determining the Requisite Lenders
(determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions,
judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which
may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by Administrative Agent (or any
Affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from
Administrative Agent’s (or such Affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful
misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision).

 

126

 

9.7           Administrative Agent in its Individual
Capacity.  With respect to its obligation to make Loans,
or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement,
Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender”
and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing
the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender”, “Requisite Class Lenders”,
“Requisite Lenders”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context
clearly indicates otherwise, include Administrative Agent in its respective
individual capacities.  Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally
engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with,
or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including
financial advisory services) to any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan
Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Loan Party or any
Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein,
and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party or any
Affiliate of any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement and
otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

 

9.8           Holders. 
Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the
owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the
assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have
been filed with Administrative 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
Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee
or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in
exchange therefor.

 

9.9           Resignation by Administrative Agent;
Replacement.

 

A.            Administrative Agent may resign from the
performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under
the other Loan Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written
notice to the Lenders and, unless a Potential Event of Default or an Event of
Default under Section 8.6 then exists, Company.  Any such resignation by an Administrative
Agent hereunder shall automatically, and with no further action required on the
part of Administrative Agent, also constitute its resignation as an Issuing
Lender and the Swing Line Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent
(x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make
any additional Swing Line Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of
its rights as Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, with
respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swing Line Loans made by it,
prior to the date of such resignation. 
Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor
Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (B) and (C) below or as
otherwise provided below.

 

B.            Upon any such notice of
resignation by Administrative Agent, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint a
successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a
commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Company, which
acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that
Company’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

 

C.            If a successor
Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 15 Business
Day period, Administrative Agent, with the consent of Company (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that Company’s
consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then
appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative
Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders
appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

 

127

 

D.            If no successor
Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (B) or (C) above
by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by
Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective
and the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of
Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such
time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent
as provided above.

 

E.             The Requisite Lenders may at
any time when Administrative Agent has become the subject of a proceeding under
any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating
to or limiting creditors’ rights generally, or had a receiver, conservator,
trustee or custodian appointed for it, upon no less than 15 Business Days’
prior notice, replace Administrative Agent. 
Any such replacement of Administrative Agent hereunder shall
automatically, and with no further action required on the part of
Administrative Agent, also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender and
the Swing Line Lender, in which case the replaced Administrative Agent (x) shall
not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional
Swing Line Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as
Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any
Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swing Line Loans made by it, prior to the
date of such replacement.  Such
resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative
Agent pursuant to clause (F) below or as otherwise provided below.

 

F.             If Administrative Agent is
replaced pursuant to the preceding clause (E), the Requisite Lenders shall have
the right to appoint a successor which successor Administrative Agent shall be
consented to by Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, provided that Company’s consent shall not be required if an
Event of Default then exists); provided that the successor
Administrative Agent shall not be the subject of a proceeding under any  bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally,
or had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it and shall
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the replaced Administrative Agent, and the replaced Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents.

 

G.            The fees payable by Company
to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Company and such successor.

 

H.            Upon a resignation or
replacement of Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.9,
Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Section 9
(and the analogous provisions of the other Loan Documents) shall continue in
effect for the benefit of Administrative Agent for all of its actions and
inactions while serving as Administrative Agent.

 

128

 

9.10         Collateral Matters.

 

A.            Each Lender authorizes and directs
Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents for the benefit of the
Lenders and the other Secured Parties. 
Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance
thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein,
any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement or the Collateral Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite
Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding
upon all of the Lenders.  Collateral
Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the
necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to
time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any
Collateral or Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and
maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral
granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

 

B.            The Lenders hereby authorize
Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien
granted to or held by Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon
termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the
Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations) at any time
arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property
being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than Company and its
Subsidiaries) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 7.7,
(iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite
Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 10.6)
or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Collateral
Documents.  Upon request by
Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing
Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral
pursuant to this Section 9.10.

 

C.            Collateral Agent shall have
no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that
the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected
or insured or that the Liens granted to Collateral Agent herein or pursuant
hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected,
protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to
exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of
care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted
or available to Collateral Agent in this Section 9.10 or in any of the
Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the
Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Collateral Agent may
act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given
Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and
that Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the
Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

 

9.11         Delivery of Information. 
Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender
originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or
other information received by Administrative Agent from any Loan Party, any
Subsidiary, the Requisite Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document except (i) as
specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) as
specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect
to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication
received by and in the possession of Administrative Agent at the time of
receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

 

129

 

SECTION 10.         MISCELLANEOUS

 

10.1         Benefit of Agreement; Assignments;
Participations.

 

A.            This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and
assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, Company may not
assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Lenders (and any purported assignment or
transfer without such consent shall be null and void) and, provided further,
that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its
rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes
hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments
hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.10 and 10.1B) and the transferee,
assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender”
hereunder and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant
any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any
amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except to
the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled
maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is
not extended beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) in which such participant
is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest
or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any
post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof
(it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial
definitions in this Agreement or to Section 1.2 shall not constitute a
reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable hereunder), or increase the
amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in
effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Potential Event of Default or
Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not
constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in
any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted
without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is
not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or
transfer by Company of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of
the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents)
supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such participant
is participating.  In the case of any
such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (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 all amounts payable by Company hereunder shall be determined as if such
Lender had not sold such participation.

 

B.            Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other
Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitments and related
outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant
Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to (i)(a) its
parent company and/or any Affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned
by such Lender or its parent company or (b) one or more other Lenders or
any Affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such
other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests
in loans and is 

 

130

 

managed
or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or
by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an Affiliate of
such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(i)(b)), or
(ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any
other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same
investment advisor of any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor
or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least
$1,000,000 (in the case of Term Loans) or $2,000,000 (in the case of Revolving
Loan Commitments) in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning
Lenders, of such Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the
Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding
Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Assignees (treating any fund
that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed
or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of
such investment advisor as a single Eligible Assignee), each of which assignees
shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an
Assignment Agreement, provided that (i) at such time, Schedule
2.1 shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding
Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon
the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such
assigning Lender’s indemnifying Company for any lost Note pursuant to a
customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at Company’s
expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of
such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with
the requirements of Section 2.1(E) (with appropriate modifications)
to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding
Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the consent of Administrative Agent and,
so long as no Potential Event of Default under Section 8.6 or Event of
Default then exists and the Syndication Date has thereto occurred, Company,
shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above
(such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned), provided that (I) Company shall be deemed to have
consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written
notice to Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received
notice thereof and (II) the consent of Administrative Agent shall not be
required in connection with a repurchase or assignment pursuant to Section 2.13,
(iv) Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such
assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a
non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 and (v) no such transfer or
assignment will be effective until recorded by Administrative Agent on the
Register pursuant to Section 2.1D. 
To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 10.1B, the
assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to
its assigned Commitments and outstanding Loans. 
At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 10.1B to a
Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States
person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal
Revenue Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender
shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to Company the
appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Certificate
re Non-Bank Status) described in Section 2.7B(iii) and, shall, for
the avoidance of doubt, comply with the provisions of Section 2.7B(iii) in
their entirety.  To the extent that an
assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related
outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.10 or this Section 10.1B
would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Sections
2.6, 2.7 or 3.6 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender
prior to such assignment, then Company shall not be obligated to pay such
increased costs (although Company, in accordance with and pursuant to the other
provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other 

 

131

 

increased
costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the
respective assignment).  If an assigning
Lender is entitled (on the date of assignment) to additional amounts pursuant
to Section 2.7B(ii)(b) (or pursuant to this sentence) with respect to
a United States withholding tax as a result of a change in applicable law,
treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the
interpretation thereof, after the Closing Date, an assignee Lender similarly
shall be entitled to such additional amounts (if not otherwise entitled to such
amounts pursuant to Section 2.7B(ii)(b)) to the extent such assigning
Lender was entitled to such additional amounts and such United States
withholding tax would have been a Non-Excluded Tax with respect to such
assignee Lender if such assignee Lender had been a party to this Agreement on
the Closing Date.

 

C.            Nothing in this
Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and
Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such
Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification to
Administrative Agent (but without the consent of Administrative Agent or
Company), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans
and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit
support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such
collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be.  No pledge pursuant to this Section 10.1C
shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

 

D.            Any Lender

and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and
disbursements) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a
result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, (a) any
investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not Administrative
Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender is a party thereto and whether or not
such investigation, litigation or other proceeding is brought by or on behalf
of any Loan Party) related to the entering into and/or performance of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the use of any Letter of Credit or the
proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of the Transaction or any

the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

 

B.            To the full extent permitted by
applicable law, Company shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against

or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any

to the extent the liability of such Indemnified Person results from such Indemnified
Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non appealable decision).

 

133

 

10.3         Patriot
Act.  Each Lender subject to the USA
PATRIOT ACT (Title 111 of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26,
2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies Company that pursuant to the
requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies Company and the other Loan Parties and other
information that will allow such Lender to identify Company and the other Loan
Parties in accordance with the Act.

 

10.4         Set-Off.  A.  In
addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by
way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default, Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender is hereby
authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand,
protest or other notice of any kind to any Loan Party or to any other Person,
any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate
and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness
evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not
including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing
by Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender (including, without
limitation, by branches and agencies of Administrative Agent, such Issuing
Lender or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of

Parties then due and payable to Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or
such Lender under this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations
therein and the other Loan Documents, and all other claims of any nature or description
arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
irrespective of whether or not Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or
such Lender shall have made any demand for payment thereof and although said
Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or
unmatured.

 

B.            NOTWITHSTANDING
THE FOREGOING SECTION 10.4A, AT ANY TIME THAT THE LOANS OR ANY OTHER
OBLIGATION SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER
SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF SETOFF, LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR
ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE REQUISITE
LENDERS OR APPROVED IN WRITING BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR
ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR
OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE
LIENS GRANTED TO COLLATERAL AGENT PURSUANT TO THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS OR THE
ENFORCEABILITY OF THE NOTES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED
EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OF ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE
REQUISITE LENDERS OR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID.  THIS SECTION 10.4B SHALL BE SOLELY FOR
THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER.

 

134

 

10.5         Ratable
Sharing.

 

A.            Lenders
hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary
payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement), by realization upon security,
through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim
or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or
otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral
under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the
aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Loans,
Unpaid Drawings, Letters of Credit, Fees and other amounts then due and owing
to that Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate
Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received
by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other
Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (i) notify
Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply
a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed
to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the
receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts
Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due
shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to
them; provided that if all or part of such proportionately greater
payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such
Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Company or otherwise, those
purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such
participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the
extent of such recovery, but without interest. 
Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any
holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of
banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing
by Company to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were
owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

 

B.            Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its
receipt of each payment from or on behalf of Company in respect of any
Obligations hereunder, Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to
the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in
writing to waive its Pro  Rata Share of any such payment) pro
rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with
respect to which such payment was received.

 

C.            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding
Sections 10.5A and B shall be subject to (i) Section 2.13 and (ii) the
express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing
payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

 

10.6         Amendments
and Waivers.

 

A.            Neither
this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may
be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver,
discharge or termination is in writing signed by the respective Loan Parties
party hereto or thereto and the Requisite Lenders (although additional parties
may be added to (and annexes may be modified to reflect such additions), and
Subsidiaries of Company may be released from, the 

 

135

 

Subsidiary Guaranty and
the Collateral Documents in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof
without the consent of the other Loan Parties party thereto or the Requisite
Lenders), provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination
shall, without the consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender,
except in the case of following clause (i) in connection with any extension
of final scheduled maturity or reduction (or forgiveness) of principal) (with
Obligations directly affected in the case of following clause (i)), (i) extend
the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or extend the stated
expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity
Date, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees
thereon (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any
post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce (or forgive) the principal
amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the
financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 1.2 shall not
constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees for the purposes of this
clause (i)), (ii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral
(except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) under all the Collateral
Documents, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 10.6A
(except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of
credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford the protections to such
additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Term Loans and the
Revolving Loan Commitments on the Closing Date), (iv) reduce the “majority”
voting threshold specified in the definition of “Requisite Lenders” (it being
understood that, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, additional
extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the
determination of “Requisite Lenders” on substantially the same basis as the
extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments are included on the
Closing Date), or (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by Company of
any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided further,
that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (1) increase
the Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without
the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications
of conditions precedent, covenants, Potential Events of Default or Events of
Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not constitute an
increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available
portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the
Commitment of such Lender), (2) without the consent of each Issuing
Lender, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 or alter its
rights or obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, (3) without the
consent of the Swing Line Lender, alter the Swing Line Lender’s rights or
obligations with respect to Swing Line Loans, (4) without the consent of
Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 or
any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of
Administrative Agent, (5) without the consent of Collateral Agent, amend,
modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of
Collateral Agent, (6) except in cases where additional extensions of term
loans and/or revolving loans are being afforded substantially the same
treatment afforded to the Term Loans and Revolving Loans pursuant to this
Agreement on the Closing Date, without the consent of the Requisite Class Lenders
of each Class which is being allocated a lesser prepayment, repayment or
commitment reduction as a result of the actions described below, alter the
required application of any prepayments or repayments (or commitment
reduction), as between the various Classes, pursuant to Section 2.4B(iv)(b) (it
being understood, however, that the Requisite Lenders may waive, in whole or in
part, any such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction, so long as the
application, as amongst the various Classes, of any such prepayment, repayment
or commitment reduction which is still required to be made is not altered), (7) without
the consent 

 

136

 

of the Requisite Class Lenders
of the respective Class affected thereby, amend the definition of
Requisite Class Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the
Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement
may be included in the determination of the Requisite Class Lenders on
substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans and Commitments are
included on the Closing Date), or (8) without the written consent of the
Requisite Class Lenders of Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Loan
Commitments, amend, modify or waive any condition precedent set forth in Section 4
with respect to the making of Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans or the issuance
of Letters of Credit.  This Section 10.6
and the other voting-related provisions in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents are subject to the terms of Section 2.13B.

 

B.            If, in connection
with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the
provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v),
inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 10.6A, the consent of the
Requisite Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other
Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then Company shall have the
right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is
required are treated as described in either clause (a) or (b) below,
to either (a) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at
the option of Company, if the respective Lender’s consent is required with
respect to less than all Loans (or related Commitments), to replace only the
Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Loans of the respective non-consenting Lender
which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) with
one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10 so long as at the
time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed
change, waiver, discharge or termination or (b) terminate such
non-consenting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment (if such Lender’s consent is
required as a result of its Revolving Loan Commitment) and/or repay all outstanding
Loans of such Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s
consent and/or cash collateralize its applicable Pro  Rata Share
of the Letter of Credit Usage, in accordance with Section 2.4B(v), provided
that unless the Commitments which are terminated and Loans which are repaid
pursuant to preceding clause (b) are immediately replaced in full at such
time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments
and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must
specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to
preceding clause (b), the Requisite Lenders (determined after giving effect to
the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto, provided further,
that Company shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its
Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s
rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to
the second proviso to Section 10.6A.

 

C.            Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (x) any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an
agreement in writing entered into by Company, the Requisite Lenders and
Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby,
each Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender) if (i) by the terms of such
agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment
provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment
and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not
consenting thereto receives payment (including pursuant to an assignment to a
Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 10.1) in full of the
principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts
owing to it or accrued for its account 

 

137

 

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

 

D.            In addition,
notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written
consent of Administrative Agent, Company and the Lenders providing the relevant
Replacement Term Loans to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans
(the “Refinanced Term Loans”), with a replacement term loan tranche
denominated in Dollars (the “Replacement Term Loans”) respectively,
hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such
Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such
Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable Margins for such Replacement
Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margins for such Refinanced
Term Loans, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement
Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of
such Refinanced Term Loans, at the time of such refinancing (except to the
extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been
eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Term Loans), and (d) all
other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially
identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term
Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent
necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period
after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior
to such refinancing.

 

E.             Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.1A, Company,
Administrative Agent and each Incremental Term Loan Lender and each Incremental
RL Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 or 2.12,
as the case may be, enter into an Incremental Loan Commitment Agreement, provided
that after the execution and delivery by the respective Company, Administrative
Agent and each such Lender party to such Incremental Loan Commitment Agreement,
such Incremental Loan Commitment Agreement may thereafter only be modified in
accordance with the requirements this Section 10.6A.

 

10.7         Notices.  Unless otherwise specifically provided
herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be
given shall be in writing (including telecopier) and may be personally served,
telecopied or sent by United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed
to have been given when deposited in the mails, delivered in person or to the
courier or sent by telecopier; provided that notices and communications
to Administrative Agent and Company shall not be effective until received by
Administrative Agent or Company, as the case may be.  For the purposes hereof, the address of each
party hereto shall be as set forth under such party’s name on the signature pages hereof
or (i) as to Administrative Agent, at the Notice Office or at such other
address as shall be designated by Administrative Agent in a written notice
delivered to the other parties hereto and (ii) as to each other party,
such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice delivered
to Administrative Agent.

 

138

 

10.8         Survival
of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

 

A.            All
representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and the
issuance of the Letters of Credit hereunder.

 

B.            Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of Company set
forth in Sections 2.6D, 2.7, 3.5C, 3.6, 10.2 and 10.4 and the agreements of
Lenders set forth in Sections 9.2A, 9.6, 9.10 and 10.5 shall survive the
payment of the Loans, the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit
and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the execution, delivery
and termination of this Agreement.

 

10.9         Failure
or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or delay on the part of
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in the
exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan
Document and no course of dealing between Company or any other Loan Party and
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall
impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be or operate as a
waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.  All rights and remedies existing under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of,
any rights or remedies which Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, and
Issuing Lender or any Lender would otherwise have.  No notice to or demand on any Loan Party in
any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand
in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to any
other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

 

10.10       Marshalling;
Payments Set Aside.  Neither
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal
any assets in favor of Company or any other party or against or in payment of
any or all of the Obligations.  To the
extent that Company makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or
Lenders (or to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders), or
Administrative Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise
their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such
enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any
other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the
extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to
be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto,
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or
payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

10.11       Severability.  In case any provision in or obligation under
this Agreement or the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

139

 

10.12       Obligations
Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights.  The obligations of Lenders hereunder are
several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments
of any other Lender hereunder.  Nothing
contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders
pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity.  The amounts payable at any time hereunder to
each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be
entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it
shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party
in any proceeding for such purpose.

 

10.13       Headings.  Section and Section headings in
this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall
not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any
substantive effect.

IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION
OVER COMPANY, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION PROCEEDING
WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER COMPANY.  COMPANY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE
SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION
OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL,
POSTAGE PREPAID, TO COMPANY AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH OPPOSITE ITS SIGNATURE

SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST COMPANY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 

140

 

B.            COMPANY
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE
TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING

SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN
INCONVENIENT FORUM.

 

C.            EACH
OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY OR THEREBY.

 

10.15       Successors
and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and
shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns
of Lenders (it being understood that Lenders’ rights of assignment are subject
to Section 10.1).  None of Company’s
rights or obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents nor any
interest therein may be assigned or delegated by Company without the prior
written consent of all Lenders.

 

10.16       Interest
Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or
agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of
non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall
receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess
interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such
unpaid principal, refunded to Company. 
In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received
by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment
that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude
voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate,
allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest
throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

10.17       Confidentiality.  Each Lender shall hold all non-public
information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement which has
been identified as confidential by Company in accordance with such Lender’s
customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and
in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, it being understood and
agreed by Company that in any event a Lender may make (i) disclosures to
Affiliates of such Lender and their respective employees, directors, agents,
attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors, (ii) disclosures
reasonably required by any bona fide assignee, transferee or participant and
their respective investment advisers in connection with the contemplated
assignment or transfer by such Lender of any Loans or any participations
therein, 

 

141

 

(iii) disclosures
required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof, or
the NAIC, (iv) disclosures required to any direct or indirect contractual
counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional
advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to
such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.17),
(v) disclosures pursuant to legal process or as required pursuant to
applicable law or (vi) disclosures to any other Person with the prior
written consent of Company and Administrative Agent in the exercise of their
respective sole discretion; provided that, unless specifically
prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall notify Company
of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof or the NAIC
(other than any such request in connection with any examination of the
financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency or the NAIC) for
disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such
information; and provided, further that in no event shall any Lender be
obligated or required to return any materials furnished by Company or any of
its Subsidiaries.

 

10.18       Counterparts;
Effectiveness.  This Agreement and
any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto or in connection
herewith may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered
shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall
constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached
from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so
that all signature pages are physically attached to the same
document.  This Agreement shall become
effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties
hereto and receipt by Company and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic
notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

 

10.19       Judgment
Currency.

 

A.            Currency Conversion Rate.  If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in
any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency (the “Original
Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties hereto
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
Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Other
Currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

 

B.            Discharge of Judgment.  The obligations of Company in respect of any
sum due from it to Lenders hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in
such Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day
following receipt by Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the
Other Currency, Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking
procedures purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency; if the
Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to Lenders
in the Original Currency, Company agrees, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Lenders against such loss, and
if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally
due to Lenders in the Original Currency, Lenders shall remit such excess to
Company.

 

142

 

10.20       Domicile
of Loans.  Each Lender may transfer
and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of such Lender. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent
that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 10.20 would, at the time
of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.6, 2.7 or 3.6
from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then
Company shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although Company
shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above
resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

 

10.21       Post-Closing
Actions.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that:

 

A.            UCC Filings;
Filings with respect to Intellectual Property; etc.  (i)  Company and its Subsidiaries
are not required to have filed (or cause to have filed) on or prior to the
Closing Date Financing Statements (Form UCC-1) or any filings with the PTO
or the United States Copyright Office necessary to perfect the security
interest purported to be created by the Security Agreement or the Pledge
Agreement, as applicable.  Not later than
the 5th day after the Closing Date, Company and its Subsidiaries shall have
filed (or cause to have filed) all of such Financing Statements (Form UCC-1)
and any filings with the PTO or the United States Copyright Office necessary to
perfect the security interest purported to be created by the Security Agreement
or the Pledge Agreement, as the case may be.

 

B.            Foreign Good
Standing Qualifications; Stock Certificates.  (i) Not later than the 10th Business Day
after the Closing Date (or such longer period of time as may be agreed to by
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), Administrative Agent shall have
received with respect to Company and each other Loan Party listed under the
heading “Foreign Good Standing Qualifications” on Schedule 10.21 a good
standing certificate from the Secretary of State of each jurisdiction set forth
opposite the name of such Person on such Schedule and, to the extent not already
delivered pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent generally available, other
evidence of good standing as to payment of any applicable franchise or similar
taxes from the appropriate taxing authority of each of such jurisdictions with
respect to such Person on Schedule 10.21, each dated a recent date on or prior
to the 10th Business Day after the Closing Date (or such later date as may be
agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), and (ii) not
later than the 45th day after the Closing Date (or such longer period of time
as may be agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion),
Administrative Agent shall have received with respect to each Loan Party listed
under the heading “Shares Certificates” on Schedule 10.21, new certificates
(accompanied by irrevocable undated stock powers, duly endorsed in blank and
otherwise satisfactory in form and substance to Administrative Agent)
representing all equity interests owned or held by such Loan Party in the
Pledged Subsidiaries listed opposite the name of such Loan Party on such
Schedule.

 

C.            Opinion of Oregon
Special Counsel.  Not later than the
30th day after the Closing Date (or such longer period of time as may be agreed
to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), Administrative Agent and
its counsel shall have received from special counsel in Oregon, an opinion
dated on or before such date covering such matters under Oregon law related or
incidental to the transactions contemplated herein and under the Collateral
Documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and other
documentation as Administrative Agent may reasonably require, in each case in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

 

143

 

All conditions precedent
and representations contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing (and
to permit the taking of the actions described above within the time periods required
above, rather than as elsewhere provided in the Loan Documents), provided
that (x) to the extent any representation and warranty would not be true
because the foregoing actions were not taken on the Closing Date, the
respective representation and warranty shall be required to be true and correct
in all material respects at the time the respective action is taken (or was
required to be taken) in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.21
and (y) all representations and warranties relating to the Collateral
Documents shall be required to be true immediately after the actions required
to be taken by this Section 10.21 have been taken (or were required to be
taken).  The acceptance of the benefits
of each Funding Date shall constitute a representation, warranty and covenant
by Company to each of the Lenders that the actions required pursuant to this Section 10.21
will be, or have been, taken within the relevant time periods referred to in
this Section 10.21 and that, at such time, all representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall then
be true and correct without any modification pursuant to this Section 10.21,
and the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the failure to take any of
the actions required above, within the relevant time periods required above,
shall give rise to an immediate Event of Default pursuant to this Agreement.
