Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.02, Committed Borrowings of
more than one Type may be incurred at the same time. 

                    (b)
Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to
the other, and each continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made upon the
Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given
by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of
any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans or of any
conversion of LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested
date (which shall be a Business Day) of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each
telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) must be
confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written
Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of

other, or a continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the
Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a

duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to
specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower
fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the
applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans.
Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the
last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable
LIBOR Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or
continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails
to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest
Period of one month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swing
Line Loan may not be converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan. 

                    (c)
Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each applicable Lender of the amount of its Applicable
Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a
conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to
Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(b). In the case of a Committed
Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to
the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative
Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the
applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial
Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall promptly make
all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds (but in any event
shall use reasonable efforts to make such funds available by 4:00 p.m.) on the
day of receipt by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account
of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds
or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with
instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided,
however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to
such Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding,
then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the
payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made
available to the Borrower as provided above. 

                    (d)
In the event that the Borrower, after receipt of an invoice therefor, fails to
pay any interest, fee, service charge, expenses, or other payment to which any
Credit Party is entitled from the 

-46-

EXECUTION VERSION 

Loan
Parties pursuant hereto or any other Loan Document when due, the Administrative
Agent, without the request of the Borrower, may advance any such interest, fee,
service charge, expenses, or other payment to which any Credit Party is
entitled from the Loan Parties pursuant hereto or any other Loan Document and
may charge the same to the Loan Account notwithstanding that an Overadvance may
result thereby. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Borrower of any such
advance or charge promptly after the making thereof. Such action on the part of
the Administrative Agent shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative
Agent’s rights and the Borrower’s obligations under Section 2.05(c). Any amount
which is added to the principal balance of the Loan Account as provided in this
Section 2.02(d) shall bear interest at the interest rate then and thereafter
applicable to Base Rate Loans. 

                    (e)
Except as otherwise provided herein, a LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued or
converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan.
During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as,
converted to or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans without the Consent of the
Required Lenders. 

                    (f)
The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of
the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for LIBOR Rate Loans upon
determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are
outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders
of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate
promptly following the public announcement of such change. 

                    (g)
After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed
Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as
the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect
with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. 

                    (h)
The Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer
shall have no obligation to make any Loan or to provide any Letter of Credit if
an Overadvance would result. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion,
make Permitted Overadvances without the consent of the Lenders, the Swing Line
Lender and the L/C Issuer and each Lender shall be bound thereby. Any Permitted
Overadvance may, at the option of the Administrative Agent, constitute a Swing
Line Loan. A Permitted Overadvance is for the account of the Borrower and shall
constitute a Base Rate Loan and an Obligation and shall be repaid by the
Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05(c). The making of
any such Permitted Overadvance on any one occasion shall not obligate the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to make or permit any Permitted Overadvance
on any other occasion or to permit such Permitted Overadvances to remain
outstanding. The making by the Administrative Agent of a Permitted Overadvance
shall not modify or abrogate any of the provisions of Section 2.03 regarding
the Lenders’ obligations to purchase participations with respect to Letters of
Credit or of Section 2.04 regarding the Lenders’ obligations to purchase
participations with respect to Swing Line Loans. The Administrative Agent shall
have no liability for, and no Loan Party or Credit Party shall have the right
to, or shall, bring any claim of any kind whatsoever against the Administrative
Agent with respect to “inadvertent Overadvances” (i.e. where an Overadvance
results from changed circumstances beyond the control of the Administrative
Agent (such as a reduction in the collateral value)) regardless of the amount
of any such Overadvance(s).

The Letter of Credit Commitment. 

                              (i)
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer
agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this
Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from

Expiration
Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, and to amend
or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section
2.03(b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B)
the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the
account of the Borrower and any drawings thereunder; provided that after
giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit,
(w) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Loan Cap, (x) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations,
plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of
all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, (y) the
Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit
Sublimit, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations with respect to
Standby Letters of Credit shall not exceed the Standby Letter of Credit
Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a
Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that
the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in
the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of
Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the
foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that
have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. Any L/C Issuer (other
than Bank of America or any of its Affiliates) shall notify the Administrative
Agent in writing on each Business Day of all Letters of Credit issued on the
prior Business Day by such L/C Issuer, provided that (A) until the
Administrative Agent advises any such Issuing Bank that the provisions of
Section 4.02 are not satisfied, or (B) the aggregate amount of the Letters of
Credit issued in any such week exceeds such amount as shall be agreed by the
Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such L/C Issuer shall be required to
so notify the Administrative Agent in writing only once each week of the
Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer during the immediately preceding
week as well as the daily amounts outstanding for the prior week, such notice
to be furnished on such day of the week as the Administrative Agent and such
L/C Issuer may agree. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have
been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Effective Date shall be
subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                     (ii)
 The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if:

 Letter of Credit would occur more than one hundred and eighty (180) days
 after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders
 have approved such expiry date; or 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                               (C)
 the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the
 Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless either such Letter of Credit is Cash
 Collateralized on or prior to the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit
 or all the Lenders have approved such expiry date. 

 

                              (iii)
The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit without the prior consent
of the Administrative Agent if: 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                               (A)
 any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator
 shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing
 such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request
 or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
 Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall 

 

-48-

EXECUTION VERSION 

prohibit, or request that
the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or
such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with
respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital
requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder)
not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any
unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective
Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                               (B)
 the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of
 the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally; 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                               (C)
 such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; provided
 that if the L/C Issuer, in its discretion, issues a Letter of Credit
 denominated in a currency other than Dollars, all reimbursements by the
 Borrower of the honoring of any drawing under such Letter of Credit shall be
 paid in the currency in which such Letter of Credit was denominated; 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                               (D)
 such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of
 the Stated Amount after any drawing thereunder; or

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                               (E)
 any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has
 entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral,
 reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its reasonable discretion) with
 the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential
 Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)) with respect
 to the Defaulting Lender arising from that Letter of Credit and all other L/C
 Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting
 Exposure, as it may elect in its reasonable discretion. 

 

                              (iv)
The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not
be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form
under the terms hereof or if the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not
accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. 

                              (v)
The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters
of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C
Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the
Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or
omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit
issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to
such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used
in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or
omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C
Issuer. 

                    (b)
Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension
Letters of Credit. 

                              (i)
Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the
request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.
Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two (2) Business Days
(or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may
agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed
issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a
request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit
Application shall specify in form and detail 

-49-

EXECUTION VERSION 

reasonably
satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested
Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C)
the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof;
(E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such
beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other customary
matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for
an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit
Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C
Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of
amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the
proposed amendment; and (D) such other customary matters as the L/C Issuer may
reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer
and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to
such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer
Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably
require. 

                              (ii)
Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will
confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application
from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative
Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice
from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one
Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the
applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained
in Article IV shall not then be satisfied or unless the L/C Issuer would
not be permitted or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter
of Credit, in each case, under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of
Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise), then, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit
for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Loan Party) or enter into
the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with
the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the
issuance or amendment of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to
(without any further action), and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
to, purchase from the L/C Issuer, without recourse or warranty, a risk participation
in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage times the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Upon
any change in the Commitments under this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that
with respect to all L/C Obligations, there shall be an automatic adjustment to
the participations hereby created to reflect the new Applicable Percentages of
the assigning and assignee Lenders.  

                              (iii)
If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the
L/C Issuer shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.03, issue a
Standby Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension
Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit
must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each
twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Standby
Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later
than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month
period to be agreed upon at the time such Standby Letter of Credit is issued.
Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required
to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an
Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to
have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of
such Standby Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer
shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that
it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue
such Standby Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended), in each case,
under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of
Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by
telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before
the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the
Required Lenders have elected not to  

-50-

EXECUTION VERSION 

permit
such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower
that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not
then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit
such extension. 

                              (iv)
Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a
Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary
thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or
amendment. 

                    (c)
Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 

                              (i)
Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a
drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent thereof; provided, however, that any
failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower
of its obligation to reimburse the L/C Issuer and the Lenders with respect to
any such payment. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the
L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”),
the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in
an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so
reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing
(the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
requested a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor
Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum
and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate
Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate
Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the
delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by
telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of
such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding
effect of such notice. 

                              (ii)
Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the
Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage
of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day
specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available
shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount.
The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer. 

                              (iii)
With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be
deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of
the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be
due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at
the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall
be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and
shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
participation obligation under this Section 2.03. 

                              (iv)
Until each Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any
Letter of Credit, interest 

-51-

EXECUTION VERSION 

in
respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely
for the account of the L/C Issuer. 

                              (v)
Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse
the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by
this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C
Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the
occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or
condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however,
that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section
2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than
delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C
Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer
under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.  

                              (vi)
If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time
specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover
from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such
amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is
required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C
Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a
rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation plus any administrative, processing or similar fees
customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such
Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so
paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant
Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as
the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

                    (d)
Repayment of Participations. 

                              (i)
At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit
and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such
payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent
receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the
related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the
Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by
the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such
Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case
of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s
L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the
Administrative Agent. 

                              (ii)
If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C
Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of
the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable
Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such
Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time
in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the
payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

                    (e)
Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the
L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C
Borrowing shall be absolute, 

-52-

EXECUTION VERSION 

unconditional
and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 

                              (i)
any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement,
or any other Loan Document; 

                              (ii)
the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that
the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or
any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such
beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument
relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 

                              (iii)
any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of
Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect
or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss
or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to
make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; 

                              (iv)
any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation
of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter
of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to
any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other
representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such
Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under
any Debtor Relief Law; 

                              (v)
any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries; or 

                              (vi)
the fact that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

          The
Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each
amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of
noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the
Borrower will promptly notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and
its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 

                    (f)
Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying
any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any
responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates
and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of
the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer,
the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any
correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any
Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the
request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as
applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence
or willful misconduct; (iii) any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay
in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under
or relating to any Letter of Credit or any error in interpretation of technical
terms; (iv) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any
document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document; or
(v) any action, neglect or omission under or in connection with any Letter of
Credit or Issuer Documents, including, without limitation, the issuance or
amendment of any Letter of Credit, the failure to issue or 

-53-

EXECUTION VERSION 

amend
any Letter of Credit, or the honoring or dishonoring of any demand under any
Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or
omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any
Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not
intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and
remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under
any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of
their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee
of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters
described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however,
that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may
have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the
Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to
consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower
proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence
or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the
presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s)
strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept
documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for
further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary
(or the L/C Issuer may refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if
such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of
Credit), and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or
sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to
transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or
proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or
ineffective for any reason. 

                    (g)
Cash Collateral. Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent,
if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any
reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, within one
Business Day after such request, Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount
of all L/C Obligations. Sections 2.05 and 8.02(c) set forth certain additional
requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Section
2.03, Section 2.05 and Section 8.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to
pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash
or deposit account balances in an amount equal to 103% of the Outstanding
Amount of all L/C Obligations, pursuant to documentation in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which
documents are hereby Consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term
have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Collateral Agent
a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein
and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in
blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America, except that
Permitted Investments of the type listed in clauses (a) through (f) of the
definition thereof may be made at the request of the Borrower at the option and
in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent (and at the Borrower’s risk and
expense); interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in
such account. If at any time the Administrative Agent reasonably determines
that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any
Person other than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such
funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, the
Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the
Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral,
an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (y)
the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the
Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be free and clear of any such
right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are
on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent
permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse the L/C Issuer and, to the extent
not so applied, shall thereafter be applied to satisfy other Obligations and
Other Liabilities. 

                    (h)
Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the
L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any
such agreement applicable to an 

-54-

EXECUTION VERSION 

Existing Letter of Credit),
(i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii)
the rules of the UCP 600 shall apply to each Commercial Letter of Credit. 

                    (i)
Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable
Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each
Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily Stated
Amount under each such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily
amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of the
Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of
Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the fifteenth day after the end of
each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date
to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date and thereafter on demand, and (ii) computed on a quarterly
basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any
quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under of each Letter of Credit
shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each
period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of
Default exists, Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate as provided
in Section 2.08 hereof. 

                    (j)
Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.
The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a
fronting fee (i) with respect to each Commercial Letter of Credit, at a rate
equal to 0.125% per annum, computed on the amount of such Letter of Credit, and
payable upon the issuance or amendment thereof, and (ii) with respect to each
Standby Letter of Credit, at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum, computed on the
daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and on a
quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the
fifteenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of
such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter
on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn
under any Letter of Credit, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be
determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, the Borrower shall pay
directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance,
presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and
charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time
in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and
payable on demand (accompanied by an invoice therefor) and are nonrefundable. 

                    (k)
Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the
terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall
control. 

          2.04
Swing Line Loans.

                    (a)
The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other
Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing
Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during
the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact
that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of
the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender
acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment;
provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line
Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Loan Cap, and (ii) the
aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender at such time,
plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of
all L/C Obligations at such time, plus such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans at such time shall
not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and provided, further, that
the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance 

-55-

EXECUTION VERSION 

any outstanding Swing Line
Loan, and provided further that the Swing Line Lender shall not be under
any obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall reasonably determine
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error)
that it has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure. Within
the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the
Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and
reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only
at a rate based on the Base Rate. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line
Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk
participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. The
Swing Line Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to
the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or
omissions suffered by the Swing Line Lender in connection with Swing Line Loans
made by it or proposed to be made by it as if the term “Administrative Agent”
as used in Article IX included the Swing Line Lender with respect to
such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to
the Swing Line Lender.  

                    (b)
Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the
Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by
the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on
the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed,
which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date,
which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed
promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a
written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line
Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will
confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not,
the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in
writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received
notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent at the
request of the Required Lenders prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed
Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing
Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first
sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender may, not later than
3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make
the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower at its office by
crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in
immediately available funds; provided, however, that if, on the
date of the proposed Swing Line Loan, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding,
then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the
payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made
available to the Borrower as provided above. 

                    (c)
Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. 

                              (i)
The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may
request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorize the
Swing Line Lender to so request on their behalf), that each Lender make a Base
Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the
amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in
writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice
for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02,
without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal
amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the
Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing
Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed
Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.
Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable 

-56-

EXECUTION VERSION 

Percentage
of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the
Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m.
on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to
Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed
to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line
Lender. 

                              (ii)
If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed
Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate
Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to
be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk
participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to
Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 

                              (iii)
If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time
specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to
recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand,
such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is
required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the
Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation plus any administrative, processing or
similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with
the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as
aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan
included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the
relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line
Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect
to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. 

                              (iv)
Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any
other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a
Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each
Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk
participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower
to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 

                    (d)
Repayment of Participations. 

                              (i)
At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a
Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of
such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its
Applicable Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of
interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s
risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing
Line Lender. 

                              (ii)
If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or
interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line
Lender under any of the 

-57-

EXECUTION VERSION 

circumstances
described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into
by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing
Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent,
plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The
Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line
Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the
payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

                    (e)
Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall
be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans.
Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to
this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing
Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely
for the account of the Swing Line Lender. 

                    (f)
Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all
payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly
to the Swing Line Lender. 

          2.05
Prepayments.

                    (a)
The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from
time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole or in part without
premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by
the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) two (2) Business Days
prior to any date of prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans and (B) on the date of
prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be
in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal
amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in
each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each
such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the
Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if LIBOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period(s)
of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its
receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the
Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment
of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount
prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section
3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the
Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. 

                    (b)
The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay
Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that
(i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment,
and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of
$100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such
prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make
such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due
and payable on the date specified therein.  

                    (c)
If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Loan Cap, as
then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans, Swing Line Loans
and L/C Borrowings and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (other than
L/C Borrowings) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however,
that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) unless after the prepayment in
full of the Loans, the Total 

-58-

EXECUTION VERSION 

Outstandings exceed the Loan
Cap (and any such Cash Collateralization shall only be required with respect to
such additional amount). 

                    (d)
The Borrower shall prepay the Loans and Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations
in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13 hereof. 

                    (e)
If any transaction constituting a Prepayment Event is consummated at any time
while Availability is less than $50,000,000 after giving effect to such
transaction, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans and, after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default or to the extent required by the
provisions of Section 2.06(c), Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an
amount equal to the Net Proceeds received by a Loan Party on account of such
Prepayment Event, irrespective of whether a Triggering Event then exists and is
continuing. 

                    (f)
Prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.05(c), (d) and (e) above, first,
shall be applied ratably to the L/C Borrowings and the Swing Line Loans, second,
shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Committed Loans, third,
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall
be used to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C Obligations; and, fourth,
the amount remaining, if any, after the prepayment in full of all L/C
Borrowings, Swing Line Loans and Committed Loans outstanding at such time and
the Cash Collateralization of the remaining L/C Obligations in full may be
retained by the Borrower for use in the ordinary course of its business. Upon
the drawing of any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized, the
funds held as Cash Collateral shall be applied (without any further action by
or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to reimburse the L/C
Issuer or the Lenders, as applicable. 

                    (g)
Prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall not reduce the Aggregate
Commitments hereunder. 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 2.06
 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon irrevocable notice
 to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, the Letter
 of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit or from time to time
 permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit
 or the Swing Line Sublimit; provided that (i) any such notice shall be
 received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3)
 Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such
 partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole
 multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not
 terminate or reduce (A) the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect
 thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings
 would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if,
 after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not
 fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit
 Sublimit, and (C) the Swing Line Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto,
 and to any concurrent payments hereunder, the Outstanding Amount of Swing
 Line Loans hereunder would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit. 

 

	
  

 
	
          (b)
 If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the
 Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of
 the Aggregate Commitments, such Letter of Credit Sublimit or Swing Line
 Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. 

 
	
  

 
	
          (c)
 The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination
 or reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, Swing Line Sublimit or the
 Aggregate Commitments under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of the
 Aggregate Commitments, the Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by such
 Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount.

 All
 fees (including, without limitation, commitment fees and Letter of Credit
 Fees) and interest in respect of the Aggregate Commitments accrued until the
 effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid
 on the effective date of such termination. If, as a result of such
 termination or reduction, (i) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not
 fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit
 Sublimit, the Borrower shall contemporaneously with such reduction or
 termination, Cash Collateralize such excess amount, and (ii) the Committed
 Loans or the Swing Line Loans hereunder would exceed the Aggregate
 Commitments or the Swing Line Sublimit, as applicable, the Borrower shall
 contemporaneously with such reduction or termination, pay the Administrative
 Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount equal to such excess.

                     (a)
 The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate

                     (b)
 To the extent not previously paid, the Borrower shall repay the outstanding
 balance of the Swing Line Loans on the Termination Date. 

 
	
  

 
	
                     (c)
 On the Termination Date, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the L/C

Interest.

                    (a)
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b) below, (i) each LIBOR Rate Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each
Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest
Period plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest
on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date
at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and
(iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.  

                    (b)
(i) If any amount payable under any Loan Document is not paid when due (after
giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws for so long as such Event of
Default is continuing. 

                              (ii)
If any other Event of Default exists, then the Administrative Agent may, and
upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, notify the Borrower that all
outstanding Obligations shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating
interest rate per annum at all times while such Event of Default is continuing
equal to the Default Rate and thereafter such Obligations shall bear interest
at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 

                              (iii)
Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due
interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 

                    (c)
Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified
herein. Interest hereunder 

-60-

EXECUTION VERSION 

shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and
after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under
any Debtor Relief Law.

          2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees
described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.03:

                    (a)
Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a
commitment fee equal 0.25% per annum times the actual daily amount by
which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of
Loans (but excluding the principal amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding)
and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations. The commitment fee shall
accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time
during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and
shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the fifteenth day after the
end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such
date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the last day of the Availability
Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in calculating the Commitment Fee
payable to any Lender which is also the Swing Line Lender, the principal amount
of Swing Line Loans outstanding shall be included in the calculation of the
Outstanding Amount of Loans of such Lender. 

                    
(b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to MLPFS and the Administrative
Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times
specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and
shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

          2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All
computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined
by Bank of America’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365
or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other
computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year
and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable,
being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall
accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue
on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such
portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day
on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one
day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee
hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error.

          2.11 Evidence of Debt. 

                    
(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more
accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent (the “Loan
Account”) in the ordinary course of business. In addition, each Lender may
record in such Lender’s internal records, an appropriate notation evidencing
the date and amount of each Loan from such Lender, each payment and prepayment
of principal of any such Loan, and each payment of interest, fees and other
amounts due in connection with the Obligations and Other Liabilities due to
such Lender. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and
each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the
Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and
payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not,
however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to
pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations and Other Liabilities. In
the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any
Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of
such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall
control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made
through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to
such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence
such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may
attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if 

-61-

EXECUTION VERSION 

applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect
thereto. Upon receipt of an affidavit of a Lender as to the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of such Lender’s Note and upon cancellation of such
Note, the Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note in favor of
such Lender, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

                    (b)
In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each
Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender
of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of
any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative
Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters,
the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error.

          2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s
Clawback.

                    
(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made
without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or
setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower
hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s
Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m.
on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute
to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided
herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such
Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent
after 2:00 p.m. shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, be deemed
received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee
shall continue to accrue until such next succeeding Business Day. If any
payment (other than with respect to payment of a LIBOR Rate Loan) to be made by
the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall
be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be
reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

                    
(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to (A)
the proposed date of any Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans (or in the case of any
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such
Borrowing) or (B) the date that such Lender’s participation in a Letter of
Credit or Swing Line Loan is required to be funded, that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or in the case of
a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available
in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Committed Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender (on demand) and the Borrower (within two Business Days after
demand) severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith such
corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the
Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
(A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation plus any
administrative processing or similar fees customarily charged by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a
payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative
Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower
for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed 

-62-

EXECUTION VERSION 

Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing.
Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the
Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment
to the Administrative Agent.

                              (ii)
Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such
payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such
payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the
amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately
available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date
such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation.

          A notice of
the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any
amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error.

                    
(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available
to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as
provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds
are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the
conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV
are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof (subject to the
provisions of the last paragraph of Section 4.02 hereof), the Administrative
Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to
such Lender, without interest.

                    
(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders
hereunder to make Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit
and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are
several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan, to
fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on
any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its
corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan,
to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

                    
(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any
Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to
constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain
the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

          2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any
Credit Party shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, interest on, or other
amounts with respect to, any of the Obligations resulting in such Lender’s
receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Obligations
greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein
(including as in contravention of the priorities of payment set forth in
Section 8.03), then the Credit Party receiving such greater proportion shall
(a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at
face value) participations in the Obligations of the other Credit Parties, or
make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all
such payments shall be shared by the Credit Parties ratably and in the
priorities set forth in Section 8.03, provided that:

-63-

EXECUTION VERSION 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (i)
 if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any
 portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
 or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to
 the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (ii)
 the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any
 payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the
 express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising
 from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a
 Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in
 any of its Committed Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing
 Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any
 Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

 

          Each Loan
Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do
so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to
the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of
setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

          2.14 Settlement Amongst Lenders. 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (a)
 The amount of each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of outstanding Loans
 (including outstanding Swing Line Loans, shall be computed weekly (or more frequently
 in the Administrative Agent’s discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or
 downward based on all Loans (including Swing Line Loans) and repayments of
 Loans (including Swingline Loans) received by the Administrative Agent as of
 3:00 p.m. on the first Business Day (such date, the “Settlement Date”)
 following the end of the period specified by the Administrative Agent.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (b)
 The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders promptly after
 a Settlement Date a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Committed
 Loans and Swing Line Loans for the period and the amount of repayments
 received for the period. As reflected on the summary statement, (i) the
 Administrative Agent shall transfer to each Lender its Applicable Percentage
 of repayments, and (ii) each Lender shall transfer to the Administrative
 Agent (as provided below) or the Administrative Agent shall transfer to each
 Lender, such amounts as are necessary to insure that, after giving effect to
 all such transfers, the amount of Committed Loans made by each Lender shall
 be equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all Committed Loans
 outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If the summary statement requires
 transfers to be made to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and is
 received prior to 1:00 p.m. on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made
 in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. that day; and, if
 received after 1:00 p.m., then no later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business
 Day. The obligation of each Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable,
 unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative
 Agent. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its transfer to
 the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative
 Agent, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for
 each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative
 Agent, equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined
 by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
 interbank compensation plus any administrative, processing, or similar fees
 customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
 foregoing.

 

          2.15
Increase in Commitments. 

-64-

EXECUTION VERSION 

                    (a)
Request for Increase. Provided no Default or Event of Default then
exists or would arise therefrom, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which
shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time, request
an increase in the Aggregate Commitments by an amount (for all such requests)
not exceeding $200,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an
increase shall be in a minimum amount of $15,000,000, (ii) the Borrower may
make a maximum of four such requests, and (iii) such increase shall be on the
same terms as those set forth in this Agreement. At the time of sending such
notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall
specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which
shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of
such notice to the Lenders). 

                    
(b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the
Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to
increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater
than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any
Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined
to increase its Commitment. 

                    (c)
Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender of the
Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount
of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be
unreasonably withheld), to the extent that the existing Lenders decline to
increase their Commitments, or decline to increase their Commitments to the
amount requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, in consultation
with the Borrower, will provide the consenting Lenders with an opportunity to
further increase their Commitments in the amount equal to the total amount
requested by the Borrower and will use its reasonable efforts to arrange for
other Eligible Assignees to become a Lender hereunder and to issue commitments
in an amount equal to the amount of the increase in the Aggregate Commitments
requested by the Borrower and not accepted by the existing Lenders (and the
Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders) (such
Lenders which increase their Commitments and such additional Lenders, the “Additional
Commitment Lenders”), provided, however, that
without the consent of the Administrative Agent, at no time shall the
Commitment of any Additional Commitment Lender be less than $5,000,000. 

                    
(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are
increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent, in
consultation with the Borrower, shall determine the effective date (the “Increase
Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the
final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date and on the
Increase Effective Date (i) the Aggregate Commitments under, and for all
purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such
Commitment Increases, and (ii) Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed modified,
without further action, to reflect the revised Commitments and Applicable
Percentages of the Lenders. 

                    
(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to
such increase, (i) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a
certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed
by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the
resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such
increase, and (B) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and
after giving effect to such increase, the representations and warranties
contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct
on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such
representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which
case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for
purposes of this Section 2.15, the representations and warranties contained in
subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most
recent statements furnished pursuant to 

-65-

EXECUTION VERSION 

clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, (ii) the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent, and any Additional Commitment Lender shall have
executed and delivered a Joinder Agreement; (iii) the Borrower shall have paid
such fees and other compensation to the Additional Commitment Lenders as the
Borrower and such Additional Commitment Lenders shall agree; (iv) the Borrower
shall have paid such arrangement fees to the Administrative Agent as the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree; (v) the Borrower and the
Additional Commitment Lender shall have delivered such other instruments,
documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably have
requested; and (vi) no Default exists. The Borrower shall prepay any Committed
Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional
amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the
outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages
arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

                    
(f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions
in Sections 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

          2.16 Defaulting Lenders.

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (a)
 Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
 this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such
 time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted
 by applicable Law:

 

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (i)
 Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
 disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement
 shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and
 Section 10.01.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (ii)
 Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees
 or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
 Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to
 Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a
 Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or
 times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to
 the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the
 Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of
 any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line
 Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting
 Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section
 2.03(g); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event
 of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such
 Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this
 Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined
 by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account
 and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s
 potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement
 and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with
 respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit
 issued under this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.03(g); sixth,
 to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing
 Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
 obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against such
 Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its
 obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of
 Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a
 result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the
 Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting
 Lender’s breach of its obligations under this

 Agreement;
 and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of
 competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment
 of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which
 such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y)
 such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time
 when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such
 payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed
 to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to
 the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting
 Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in
 L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in
 accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section
 2.16(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a
 Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a
 Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section
 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender,
 and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (iii) Certain Fees.

 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                               (A)
 No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee payable
 under Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting
 Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that
 otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting
 Lender).

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                               (B)
 Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for
 any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent
 allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit
 for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof in
 accordance with Section 2.03(g).

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                               (C)
 With respect to any commitment fee payable under Section 2.09(a) or any
 Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender
 pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each
 Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such
 Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in
 L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such
 Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the L/C
 Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee
 otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such
 L/C Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting
 Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

 

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (iv)
 Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.
 All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations
 and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in
 accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without
 regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that
 (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of
 such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the
 Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
 represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time),
 and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Credit Extensions of
 any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.
 No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim
 of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender
 having become a Defaulting Lender,

 including any claim of a
 Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased
 exposure following such reallocation.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (v)
 Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation
 described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected,
 the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it
 hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an
 amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second,
 Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the
 procedures set forth in Section 2.03(g).

 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (b)
 Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
 Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no
 longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the
 parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice
 and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include
 arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the
 extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the
 other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may
 determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Loans and funded and
 unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held
 on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable
 Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon such
 Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments
 will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by
 or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and
 provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by
 the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender
 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder
 arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

           (i)
 Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party
 under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for
 any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as
 determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent) require
 the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the
 Administrative Agent or a Loan Party, then the Administrative Agent or such
 Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the
 basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to
 subsection (e) below.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (ii)
 If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code
 to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup
 withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the
 Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined
 by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and
 documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the
 Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full

 amount
 withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
 with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is
 made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan
 Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding
 or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
 additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient
 receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
 withholding or deduction been made.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (iii)
 If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any
 applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any
 payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as required by
 such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to
 be required based upon the information and documentation it has received
 pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Loan Party or the Administrative
 Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount
 withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
 with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is
 made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan
 Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding
 or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
 additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient
 receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
 withholding or deduction been made.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (b)
 Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the
 provisions of subsection (i) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other
 Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
 Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for
 the payment of any Other Taxes.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (c)
 Tax Indemnifications.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (i)
 Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally
 indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within
 ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
 Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
 amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or
 required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any
 penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
 thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally
 imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as
 to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a
 Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the
 Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C
 Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (ii)
 Each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify,
 and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand
 therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes
 attributable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer (but only to the extent that
 any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such
 Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to
 do so) and (y) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable,
 against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in
 each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Loan
 Party in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses
 arising

 therefrom
 or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally
 imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as
 to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the
 Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender
 and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and
 apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer,
 as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against
 any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (d)
 Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower or the
 Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the
 Borrower or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as
 provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the
 Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the
 Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt
 issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any
 return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such
 payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
 as the case may be.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (e)
 Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (i)
 Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
 Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to
 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably
 requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly
 completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or
 the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without
 withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if
 reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall
 deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
 requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the
 Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender
 is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the
 completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such
 documentation set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below)
 shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion,
 execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material
 unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or
 commercial position of such Lender.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (ii)
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the
 Borrower is a U.S. Person,

 

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
           (A)
 any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the
 Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a
 Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
 reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed
 originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S.
 federal backup withholding tax; 

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
           (B)
 any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
 deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of
 copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on
 which

 such
 Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
 thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
 Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
           (I)
 in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty
 to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of
 interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN
 establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax
 pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to
 any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN
 establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax
 pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax
 treaty;

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
           (II)
 executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
           (III)
 in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
 portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the
 effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section
 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within
 the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation”
 described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance
 Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
           (IV)
 to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed
 originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form
 W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate IRS Form W-9, and/or other
 certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided
 that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or
 indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest
 exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate
 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
           (C)
 any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
 deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of
 copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on
 which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from
 time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
 Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by
 applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S.
 federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary
 documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower
 or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction
 required to be made; and

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
           (D)
 if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
 U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to
 comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those
 contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such
 Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative

 Agent
 at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably
 requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation
 prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section
 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably
 requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for
 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations
 under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s
 obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold
 from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall
 include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
           (iii)
 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered
 pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in
 any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify
 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability
 to do so.

 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (f)
 Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time
 shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise
 pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay
 to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted
 from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case
 may be. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good
 faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been
 indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has
 paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the
 Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
 indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Loan Party under
 this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net
 of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient,
 and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
 Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan
 Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid
 over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed
 by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the
 Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will
 the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Loan Party
 pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in
 a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been
 in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such
 refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require
 any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information
 relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any
 other Person.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (g)
 Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall
 survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any
 assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer,
 the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
 discharge of all other Obligations.

 

          3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines
that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has
asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office
to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest
rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed
material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or
to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice
thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any
obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Rate Loans or to convert
Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be 

-72-

EXECUTION VERSION 

suspended
until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt
of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Rate
Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest
Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR
Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully
continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or
conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so
prepaid or converted.

          3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the
Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request
for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that
(a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank
market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loan,
(b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR
Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate
Loan , or (c) the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with
respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will
promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of
the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the
Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes
such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending
request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans
or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request
for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

          3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans. 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

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

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                     (i)
 impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
 loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits
 with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any
 Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or the
 L/C Issuer; 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                     (ii)
 subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
 respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a
 Letter of Credit or any LIBOR Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of
 taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof
 (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the
 imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such
 Lender or the L/C Issuer); or

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                     (iii)
 impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any
 other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Rate Loans
 made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

 

and
the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender
of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation
to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C
Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of
maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit),
or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the
L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then,
upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer and delivery of the certificate
contemplated by Section 3.04(c), the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer,

-73-

EXECUTION VERSION 

as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred
or reduction suffered.

                    (b)
Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that
any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office
of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any,
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital
of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of
this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or
participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of
Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the
L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or
the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon
delivery of the certificate contemplated by Section 3.04(c), the Borrower will
pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

                    (c)
Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C
Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender
or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, and the method
for calculating such amount or amounts as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of
this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may
be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof.

                    (d)
Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C
Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s
right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not
be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions
suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C
Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period
of retroactive effect thereof).

                    (e)
Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as
long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to
liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits
(currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of
such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such
Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be
due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided
the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a
Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment
Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of
such notice.

          3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon
demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to
time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such

           (a)
 any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a
 Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for
 such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of
 acceleration, or otherwise);

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (b)
 any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such
 Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other
 than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;
 or

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (c)
 any assignment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
 Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to
 Section 10.13;

 

including
any loss of anticipated profits and
any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds
obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained.
The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such
Lender in connection with the foregoing.

          For
purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under
this Section 3.05, each Lender shall
be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Rate Loan made by it at the LIBOR Rate for
such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank
market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such
LIBOR Rate Loan was in fact so funded. A certificate of any Lender setting
forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to
this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such
amount or amounts was determined shall be delivered to the Borrower.

          3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice
pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to
designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder
or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section
3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the
notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would
not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any
such designation or assignment.

                    (b)
Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to
any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant
to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with
Section 10.13.

          3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower’s
obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations and Other
Liabilities hereunder.

Parties (or through self-insurance arrangements), in such amounts (after giving
effect to any self-insurance), with such deductibles and covering such risks
(including, without limitation, worker’s compensation, public liability,
business interruption and property damage insurance) as are customarily carried
by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in
localities where the Loan Parties or the applicable Subsidiary operates. The
Due Diligence Certificate sets forth a description of all insurance maintained
by or on behalf of the Loan Parties as of the Effective Date and the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that such insurance and the
insurance carriers are acceptable as of the Effective Date. As of the Effective
Date, each insurance policy listed in the Due Diligence Certificate in full
force and effect and all premiums in respect thereof that are due and payable
have been paid. 

          5.11 Taxes. The Loan
Parties and their Subsidiaries have filed all Federal, state and other material
tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid all Federal, state
and other material taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges
levied or imposed upon them or their properties, income or assets otherwise due
and payable, except (a) those which are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings being diligently conducted, for which adequate reserves
have been provided in accordance with GAAP, as to which Taxes no Liens (other
than Permitted Encumbrances on account thereof) have been filed and which
contest effectively suspends the collection of the contested obligation and the
enforcement of any Lien securing such obligation, or (b) which would not be
reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

          5.12 ERISA Compliance.

                    (a) Each Plan is in compliance in all
material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other
Federal or state laws. Each Pension Plan that is intended to be a qualified 

-82-

EXECUTION VERSION

plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable
determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the
form of such Pension Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the
trust related thereto has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be
exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, or an
application for such a letter is currently being processed by the Internal
Revenue Service. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, nothing has occurred
that would prevent or cause the loss of such tax-qualified status. 

                    (b) There are no pending or, to the best
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by
any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited
transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to
any Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. 

                    (c) (i) No ERISA Event has occurred, and
neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate is aware of any fact, event or
circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or result in an
ERISA Event with respect to any Pension Plan; (ii) the Borrower and each ERISA
Affiliate has met all applicable requirements under the Pension Funding Rules
in respect of each Pension Plan, and no waiver of the minimum funding standards
under the Pension Funding Rules has been applied for or obtained; (iii) as of
the most recent valuation date for any Pension Plan, the funding target
attainment percentage (as defined in Section 430(d)(2) of the Code) is 80% or
higher and neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate knows of any facts or
circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause the funding target
attainment percentage for any such plan to drop below 80% as of the most recent
valuation date; (iv) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred
any liability to the PBGC other than for the payment of premiums, and there are
no premium payments which have become due that are unpaid; (v) neither the
Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be
subject to Section 4069 or Section 4212(c) of ERISA; and (vi) no Pension Plan
has been terminated by the plan administrator thereof nor by the PBGC, and no
event or circumstance has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected
to cause the PBGC to institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate
any Pension Plan. 

          5.13 Subsidiaries;
Equity Interests. As of the Effective Date, the Loan Parties have no
Subsidiaries other than those specifically disclosed in Part (a) of Schedule
5.13, which Schedule sets forth the legal name, jurisdiction of
incorporation or formation of each such Subsidiary. All of the outstanding
Equity Interests in such Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid
and non-assessable and, as of the Effective Date, are owned by a Loan Party (or
a Subsidiary of a Loan Party) in the amounts specified on Part (a) of Schedule
5.13 free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances. Except
as set forth in Schedule 5.13, as of the Effective Date, there are no
outstanding rights to purchase any Equity Interests in any Subsidiary. All of
the outstanding Equity Interests in the Loan Parties have been validly issued,
and are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned in the amounts specified on
Part (b) of Schedule 5.13 free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted
Encumbrances. The copies of the Organization Documents of each Loan Party and
each amendment thereto provided pursuant to Section 4.01 are true and correct
copies of each such document, each of which is valid and in full force and
effect. Neither Foot Locker Australia, Inc. nor Foot Locker New Zealand, Inc.
maintains any assets of the type included in the Borrowing Base (other than any
immaterial assets of a de minimus nature) in the United States.  

          5.14 Margin Regulations;
Investment Company Act. 

                    (a) None of the proceeds of the Credit
Extensions shall be used directly or indirectly for any purpose that would
entail a violation of Regulations T, U, or X issued by the FRB. 

-83-

(b) None
of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof is or is required to be
registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

          5.15 Disclosure. No
report, financial statement, certificate or other information previously or
hereafter furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and
the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other
Loan Document (excluding projected financial information and general industry
data) (in each case, as modified or supplemented by other information so
furnished (including public disclosures made pursuant to press releases and
public filings prior to the Effective Date) and when taken as a whole) contains
any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not materially misleading; provided that, with respect
to projected financial information, the Loan Parties represent only that such
information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be
reasonable at the time (it being understood that such projected financial
information is subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of
which are beyond the control of the Loan Parties, that no assurance is given
that any particular projections will be realized, that actual results may
differ and that such differences may be material). 

          5.16 Compliance with
Laws. Each of the Loan Parties and each Subsidiary is in compliance in all
material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs,
injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such
instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or
decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently
conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

          5.17 Intellectual
Property Except, in each case, as could not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, the Loan Parties
and their Subsidiaries own, or possess the right to use, all of the
Intellectual Property that is reasonably necessary for the operation of their
respective businesses. Except, in each case, as could not reasonably be
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect,
to the knowledge of the Borrower, no slogan or other advertising device,
product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed by any
Loan Party or any Subsidiary infringes upon any Intellectual Property rights
held by any other Person, and except as disclosed in Schedule 5.17, no
claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against any Loan Party or Subsidiary,
which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. 

          5.18 Labor Matters.

          There are
no strikes, lockouts, slowdowns or other material labor disputes against any
Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan
Party, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the
Loan Parties comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act and any other applicable
federal, state, local or foreign Law dealing with such matters, except to the
extent that any such violation could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries has incurred
any liability or obligation under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act or
similar state Law. All payments due from any Loan Party and its Subsidiaries,
or for which any claim may be made against any Loan Party, on account of wages
and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or
properly accrued in accordance with GAAP as a liability on the books of such
Loan Party. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.18, as of the Effective
Date, no Loan Party is a party to or bound by any collective bargaining
agreement. There are no complaints, unfair labor practice charges, grievances,
arbitrations, unfair employment practices charges or any other claims or
complaints against any Loan Party or any Subsidiary pending or, to the
knowledge of any Loan

to the employment or termination of employment of any employee of any Loan
Party or any of its Subsidiaries, which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 

          5.19 Security Documents.

          The
Security Agreement creates in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of
the Secured Parties referred to therein, a legal, valid, and enforceable
security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement), the
enforceability of which is subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally
and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law. The UCC financing statements, releases and
other filings are in appropriate form and have been or will be filed in the
offices specified in the Due Diligence Certificate. Upon such filings and/or
the obtaining of “control” (as such term is defined in the UCC), the Collateral
Agent will have a perfected Lien on, and security interest in, to and under all
right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in all Collateral that may
be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or
analogous document (including without limitation the proceeds of such
Collateral subject to the limitations relating to such proceeds in the UCC) or
by obtaining control, under the UCC (in effect on the date this representation
is made) in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person to the
extent required by the Loan Documents. 

          5.20 Solvency.

          After giving
effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and before and after
giving effect to each Credit Extension, the Loan Parties, on a Consolidated
basis, are Solvent.

any Loan Party is a party with respect to the processing and/or payment to such
Loan Party of the proceeds of any credit card charges and debit card charges
for sales made by such Loan Party. 

          5.22 Brokers. No broker
or finder brought about the obtaining, making or closing of the Loans or
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, and no Loan Party or Affiliate
thereof has any obligation to any Person in respect of any finder’s or
brokerage fees in connection therewith. 

          5.23 Customer and Trade
Relations. There exists no actual or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party,
threatened, termination or cancellation of, any agreement with any supplier of

Effect.

securities that are registered or issued pursuant to a private offering or is
actively contemplating issuing any such securities they will use commercially
reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may
be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials
shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall
mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof;
(x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Loan Parties shall be deemed to
have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the L/C Issuer and the
Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material
non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with
respect to the Loan Parties or their securities for purposes of United States
Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the
extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as
set forth in Section 10.07); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are
permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated

 the
 other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent,
 as applicable, is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required
 Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
 expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided
 that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its respective
 opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or
 that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (c)
 shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
 Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure
 to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of its
 Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the
 Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
 capacity.

 

No
Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the
Consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe
in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in
Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction. 

          The Agents
shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice
describing such Default is given to such Agent by the Loan Parties, a Lender or
the L/C Issuer. In the event that the Agents obtains such actual knowledge or
receives such a notice, the Agents shall give prompt notice thereof to each of
the other Credit Parties. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
Agents shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default
as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders. Unless and until the
Agents shall have received such direction, the Agents may (but shall not be
obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to any such Default or Event of Default as they shall deem advisable in
the best interest of the Credit Parties. In no event shall the Agents be
required to comply with any such directions to the extent that any Agent believes
that its compliance with such directions would be unlawful.

          The Agents
shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i)
any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection
herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein
or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority
of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or
the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition
set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agents.

          9.04 Reliance by Agents. 

          Each Agent
shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying
upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument,
document or other writing (including, but not limited to, any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by
the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it
orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper
Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the
issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may

-105-

EXECUTION VERSION

presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C
Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice to
the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such
Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with
legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Loan Party), independent accountants
and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken
or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel,
accountants or experts.

          9.05 Delegation of Duties. Each
Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers
hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more
sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this
Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Agents and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities
in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein
as well as activities as such Agent.

          9.06
Resignation of Agents. Either Agent may at any time give written
notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon
receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the
right to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the
United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United
States and shall, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at
the time of such appointment, be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no
such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall
have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent
gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the
Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, as applicable, meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided
that if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall notify the
Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such
appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent on behalf
of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring
Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such
time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C
Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance
of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as
applicable, hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with
all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired)
Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and
obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by
the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and
such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents
and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder.

          Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a)
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender,
(b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all
of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in
substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such
succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the

-106-

EXECUTION VERSION

retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the
retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

          9.07
Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each
Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender
and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Agents or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based
on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except as provided
in Section 9.12, the Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to
provide any Credit Party with any other credit or other information concerning
the affairs, financial condition or business of any Loan Party that may come
into the possession of the Agents.

          9.08
No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents or
Documentation Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers,
duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

          9.09
Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case
of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other
judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then
be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the
Loan Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (a)
 to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest
 owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other
 Obligations and Other Liabilities that are owing and unpaid and to file such
 other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
 of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the other Credit
 Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
 disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, the Administrative
 Agent, such Credit Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all
 other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer the Administrative Agent and
 such Credit Parties under Sections 2.03(i), 2.03(j) and 2.03(k) as
 applicable, 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (b)
 to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on
 any such claims and to distribute the same;

 

and
any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent
and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent
any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

          Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C
Issuer any plan of reorganization,

-107-

EXECUTION VERSION

arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or
Other Liabilities or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer or to authorize
the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the
L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

          9.10
Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Credit Parties irrevocably authorize the
Agents, at their option and in their discretion,

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (a)
 to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral
 Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate
 Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification
 obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and the expiration or
 termination of all Letters of Credit (unless cash collateralized or supported
 by back-to-back letters of credit reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer),
 (ii) that is Disposed of or to be Disposed of as part of or in connection
 with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or
 (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders
 (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly
 provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) in accordance with
 Section 10.01;

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (b)
 to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral
 Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that
 is permitted by clause (h) of the definition of Permitted Encumbrances; and

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (c)
 to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Facility Guaranty and
 each other applicable Loan Document) if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary
 as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

 

Upon
request by any Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the
other Loan Documents) will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release
or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to
release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Facility Guaranty and each
other applicable Loan Document pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as
specified in this Section 9.10, the Agents will, at the Loan Parties’ expense,
execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan
Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral
from the assignment and Lien granted under the Security Documents or to
subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its
obligations under the Facility Guaranty and each other applicable Loan
Document, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and
this Section 9.10.

          9.11
Notice of Transfer.

          The Agents
may deem and treat a Lender party to this Agreement as the owner of such
Lender’s portion of the Obligations for all purposes, unless and until, and

as set forth in Section 10.06.

          9.12

 agrees to furnish the Administrative Agent after the occurrence and during
 the continuance of a Triggering Event (and thereafter at such frequency as
 the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) with a summary of all Other
 Liabilities due or to become due to such Lender. In connection with any
 distributions to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall be
 entitled to assume that no amounts are due to any Lender on account of Other
 Liabilities

EXECUTION VERSION

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 unless
 the Administrative Agent has received written notice thereof from such Lender
 and if such notice is received, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to

 Liabilities is the amount set forth in such notice;

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (b)
 is deemed to have requested that the Administrative Agent furnish such
 Lender, promptly after they become available, copies of all Borrowing Base

           (e)

 without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision
 contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Agents and any such
 other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying
 Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from

 participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a Loan or Loans;

 might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

 

          9.13
Agency for Perfection.

          Each Lender
hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens
for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance
with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable Law of the United States can
be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Agents)
obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agents thereof,
and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such
Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in
accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

          9.14 Indemnification of Agents. The Lenders
shall indemnify the Agents, the L/C Issuer and any other Related Party (to the
extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting the obligations
of Loan Parties hereunder), ratably according to their respective Applicable

damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or
asserted against any Agent, the L/C Issuer and any other Related Party in any
way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Agent, the L/C Issuer and any
other Related Party in connection therewith; provided, that no Lender
shall

be
liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting from such Agent’s, the L/C Issuer’s and their Related Parties’ gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and nonappealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

          9.15 Relation among Lenders. The Lenders
are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or
omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Agents)

 to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the
 foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant
 to Article II if such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, has
 notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices
 under such Article by electronic communication. Each Agent or the Borrower
 may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to
 it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by
 it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to
 particular notices or communications.

 

          Unless the
Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other
communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s
receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the
“return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other
written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other
communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient,
such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening
of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices
or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed
received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail
address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such
notice or communication is available and identifying the website address
therefor.

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (c) The
 Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT
 PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE
 BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM
 LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY
 OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
 MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-

 INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER
 CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER
 MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Agents or any of their
 Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability
 to any Loan Party, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses,
 claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort,
 contract or otherwise) arising out of the Loan Parties’ or the Administrative
 Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to
 the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are
 determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable
 judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
 such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any
 Agent Party have any liability to any
 Loan Party, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for
 indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed
 to direct or actual damages).

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (d) Change
 of Address, Etc. Each of the Loan Parties, the Agents, the L/C Issuer and
 the Swing Line Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number
 for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties
 hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone
 number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the
 Borrower, the Agents, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender. In addition,
 each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to
 ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address,
 contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address
 to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire
 instructions for such Lender.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (e) Reliance by Agents, L/C Issuer and Lenders. The Agents,
 the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any
 notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan
 Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Loan Parties even if (i)
 such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or
 were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein,
 or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any
 confirmation thereof. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Agents, the L/C
 Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses,
 costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on
 each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Loan Parties. All
 telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Agents may
 be recorded by the Agents, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to
 such recording.

 

          10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No
failure by any Credit Party to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in
exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy,
power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided herein
and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights,
remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of
Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether
any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

          10.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

 commercial finance examiners, and (4) all such out-of-pocket expenses
 incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the
 Obligations and Other Liabilities, as wells as expenses of any outside

 of the credit facilities provided for herein, (2) the preparation,
 negotiation, administration, management, execution and delivery of this
 Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or
 waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions
 contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (3) the enforcement or
 protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement or the Loan
 Documents or efforts to preserve, protect, collect, or enforce the Collateral
 or in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws, or (4) any
 workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of any Obligations and
 Other Liabilities, and (ii) with respect to the L/C Issuer, all reasonable
 out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the issuance, amendment,
 renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment
 thereunder; and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
 Credit Parties who are not the Agents, the Arranger, the L/C Issuer or any
 Person providing Cash Management Services or furnishing Bank Products to any
 of the Loan Parties, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
 Event of Default, provided that such Credit Parties shall be entitled to
 reimbursement for no more than one counsel representing all such Credit
 Parties (absent a conflict of interest in which case the Credit Parties may
 engage and be reimbursed for additional counsel).

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (b) Indemnification
 by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Agents (and any
 sub-agent thereof), each other Credit Party, and each Related Party of any of
 the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)
 against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
 causes of action, damages, liabilities, settlement payments, costs, and
 related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any
 counsel for any Indemnitee but excluding Taxes, which shall be governed by
 Section 3.01), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee
 by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of,
 in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of
 this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
 contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of
 their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of
 the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the
 Agents (and any sub-agents thereof) and their Related Parties only, the
 administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any
 Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom
 (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under
 a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand
 do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit,
 (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials
 on or from any property owned or operated by any Loan Party or any of its
 Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan
 Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) any claims of, or amounts paid by any
 Credit Party to, a Blocked Account Bank or other Person which has entered
 into a control agreement with any Credit Party hereunder, or (v) any actual
 or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any
 of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory,
 whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party
 or any of the Loan Parties’ directors, shareholders or creditors, and
 regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases,
 whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the
 comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided
 that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the
 extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses
 (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
 nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the 

 

-114-

EXECUTION VERSION

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee
 or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party
 against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s
 obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or
 such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor
 on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (c) Reimbursement
 by Lenders. Without limiting their obligations under Section 9.14 hereof,
 to the extent that the Loan Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay
 any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section
 10.04 to be paid by it, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agents (or
 any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may
 be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the
 applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such
 unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified
 loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was
 incurred by or asserted against the Agents (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C
 Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the
 foregoing acting for the Agents (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in
 connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c)
 are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (d) Waiver
 of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
 applicable Law, the Loan Parties shall not assert, and hereby waive, any
 claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special,
 indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual
 damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this
 Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
 hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter
 of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable
 for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any
 information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by
 such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information
 transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan
 Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for
 direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful
 misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable
 judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (e) Payments.
 All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on demand (accompanied by
 back-up documentation to the extent available).

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (f) Survival.
 The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of any Agent and
 the L/C Issuer, the assignment of any Commitment or Loan by any Lender, the
 replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and
 the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

 

          10.05 Payments Set Aside. To
the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Loan Parties is made to any
Credit Party, or any Credit Party exercises its right of setoff, and such
payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Credit Party in its
discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then
(a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and
effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred,
and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Agents
upon demand its Applicable Percentage (without duplication) of any amount so
recovered from or repaid by the Agents, plus interest thereon from the date of
such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Rate from time to time in 

-115-

effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause
(b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

          10.06
Successors and Assigns.

                    (a)
Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party
may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or
under any other Loan Document without the prior written Consent of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible
Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b), (ii) by way of
participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection Section 10.06(d),
or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the
restrictions of Section 10.06(f) (and any other attempted assignment or
transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person
(other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this
Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties
of each of the Credit Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under or by reason of this Agreement.

                    (b)
Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans
(including for purposes of this Section 10.06(b), participations in L/C
Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided
that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

                              (i)
Minimum Amounts

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                               (A)
 in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
 Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of
 an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund
 with respect to a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                               (B)
 in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A)of this Section, the
 aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
 outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the
 principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to
 each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
 with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or,
 if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the
 Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the
 Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is
 continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
 unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that
 concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments
 from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an
 Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a
 single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has
 been met;

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                     (ii)
 Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
 assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
 obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment
 assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the Swing Line
 Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans;

EXECUTION VERSION

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                     (iii)
 Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except
 to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in
 addition:

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                               (A)
 the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
 delayed) shall be required unless (1) a Default has occurred and is
 continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a
 Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                               (B)
 the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably
 withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any
 Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an
 Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                               (C)
 the consent of the applicable L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably
 withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the
 obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more
 Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                     (iv)
 Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall
 execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
 together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided, however,
 that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive
 such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The
 assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
 Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
                     (v)
 Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of
 rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment
 shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions
 thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such
 additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount
 sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright
 payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or
 other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the
 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans
 previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of
 which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to
 (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting
 Lender to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender hereunder
 (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its
 full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and
 Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and
 obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under
 applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then
 the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for
 all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder
shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from
its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 

-117-

EXECUTION VERSION

3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring
prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to
the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by
a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any
party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to
the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations
under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated
for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in
such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.06(d).

                    (c)
Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a
copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of,
and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the
Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This
Section 10.06(c) shall be construed so that the Loans and L/C Obligations are
at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of section
163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c) of the Code.

                    (d)
Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to
any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Loan
Parties or any of the Loan Parties’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”)
in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans
(including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line
Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) such lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and owner
of its participation or other interest in any Letter of Credit for all purposes
hereunder, and (iv) the Loan Parties, the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C
Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
Participant shall agree in writing to comply with all confidentiality
obligations set forth in Section 10.07 as if such Participant was a Lender
hereunder.

          Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that
such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this
Section, the Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b). To
the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as
an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and
address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of
each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan
Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any
obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register
(including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any 

-118-

EXECUTION VERSION

commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under
any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is
necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other
obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States
Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation
for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as
Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a
Participant Register.

                    (e)
Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender
would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to
such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is
made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a
Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of
Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to
such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Loan
Parties, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

                    (f)
Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its
Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or
assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided
that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such
Lender as a party hereto.

                    (g)
Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be
deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic
form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based
recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in
any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records
Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act.

                    (h)
Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank
of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b)
above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 10 days’ notice to the Borrower and the
Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 10 days’ notice to the Borrower,
resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the
Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided,
however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor
shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall
retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer
hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective
date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect
thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or
fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)).
If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights
of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line
Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation,
including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).
Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a)
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender,
as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of
credit in

substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time
of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America
to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such
Letters of Credit.

          10.07
Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each
of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information
(as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its
Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors,
officers, employees, agents, funding sources, attorneys, advisors and
representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure
is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and
instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested
by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including
any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or
by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in
connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject
to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this
Section 10.07, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to
any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Loan Party and its
obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such
Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach
of this Section or (y) becomes available to any Credit Party or any of their
respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source (only if such
Credit Party has no knowledge that such source itself is not in breach of a
confidentiality obligation) other than the Loan Parties. 

          For
purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the
Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof relating to the Loan Parties or any
Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is available to any Credit Party on a non-confidential basis
prior to disclosure by the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof (provided
that if such information is furnished by a source known to such Credit Party to
be subject to a confidentiality obligation, such source, to the knowledge of
such Credit Party, is not in violation of such obligation by such disclosure).
Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided
in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do
so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information.

          Each of the
Credit Parties acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material
non-public information concerning the Loan Parties or a Subsidiary, as the case
may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of
material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public
information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state
securities Laws.

          10.08
Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after
obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and
apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in
whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such
Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan
Party against any and all of the Obligations and Other Liabilities then due
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, regardless of the adequacy of the Collateral, and irrespective of
whether or not 

-120-

EXECUTION VERSION

such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the
Borrower or such Loan Party are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or
the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or
obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any
Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so
set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further
application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 and, pending such
payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and
deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C
Issuer and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to
the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the
Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right
of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective
Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their
respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and
application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such setoff and application.

          10.09
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 the 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 the Borrower. In
determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the
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.

          10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement
and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when
the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when
taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
telecopy or other electronic image scan transmission (e.g., “pdf” or “tiff” via
email) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of
this Agreement.

          10.11
Survival. All representations and warranties made
hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant
hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the
execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties
have been or will be relied upon by the Credit Parties, regardless of any
investigation made by any Credit Party or on their behalf and notwithstanding
that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the
time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as
long as any Loan or any other Obligation (other than any contingent
indemnification obligations for which no claim has then been asserted)
hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall
remain outstanding. Further, the provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and
10.04 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect
regardless of the repayment of the Obligations, the expiration or termination
of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this
Agreement or any 

-121-

EXECUTION VERSION

provision hereof. In connection with the termination of this Agreement
and the release and termination of the security interests in the Collateral,
the Agents may require such indemnities and collateral security as they shall
reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Credit Parties against
(x) loss on account of credits previously applied to the Obligations that may
subsequently be reversed or revoked, and (y) any obligations that may
thereafter arise with respect to the Other Liabilities.

          10.12
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the
legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired
thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to
replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions
the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section
10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this
Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief
Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer
or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed
to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

          10.13
Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Lender delivers a notice described
in Section 3.02, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to
any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant
to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting
Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to
such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests,
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to
an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (a) the
 Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee
 specified in Section 10.06(b);

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (b) such
 Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
 principal of its Loans and L/C Advances being so assigned, accrued interest
 thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it in respect thereof
 hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under
 Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal
 and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other
 amounts);

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (c) in
 the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
 Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such
 assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments
 thereafter; and

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (d) such
 assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or
delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply.

with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Loan Parties each
acknowledge and agree that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other
services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment,
waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an
arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Loan Parties, on the one hand,
and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, and each of the Loan Parties is capable of evaluating and

USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject
to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself
and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant
to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed
into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which
information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information
that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to

          10.19
Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the
Loan Documents.

          10.20
Press Releases.

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (a) Each Credit Party agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will
 in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the
 name of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates or referring to this
 Agreement or the other Loan Documents without at least two (2) Business Days’
 prior notice to the Administrative Agent and without the prior written
 consent of the Administrative Agent unless (and only to the extent that) such
 Credit Party or Affiliate is required to do so under applicable Law and then,
 in any event, such Credit Party or Affiliate will consult with the
 Administrative Agent before issuing such press release or other public
 disclosure. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (b) Each Credit Party agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will
 in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the

 Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and without

 (and only to the extent that) such Credit Party or Affiliate is required to
 do so under applicable Law and then, in any event, such Credit Party or
 Affiliate will consult with the Borrower before issuing such press release or
 other public disclosure. Subject to the foregoing, each Loan Party consents
 to the publication by Administrative Agent or any Lender of advertising
 material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this
 Agreement using any Loan Party’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark
 upon the Borrower’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld. Administrative
 Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft reasonably in advance of any advertising
 material to the Borrower for review and comment prior to the publication
 thereof. Administrative Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade
 organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league
 table measurements.

 

          10.21
Additional Waivers.

                    (a)
The Obligations are the joint and several obligation of each Loan Party. To the
fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the obligations of each Loan Party
shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Credit Party to assert any
claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or 

-125-

EXECUTION VERSION

remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver,
amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or
provisions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (iii) the
failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the
Collateral or other security held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or
any other Credit Party.

                    (b)
The obligations of each Loan Party shall not be subject to any reduction,
limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations after the termination
of the Commitments), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender,
alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to
any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by
reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the
Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by the failure of any Agent or any other Credit Party to
assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of
any provision of any thereof, any default, failure or delay, willful or
otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, or by any other act or
omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any
Loan Party or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Party as
a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash
of all the Obligations after the termination of the Commitments). 

                    (c)
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any
defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Loan Party or the
unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the
cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Loan Party, other than
the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and the
termination of the Commitments. The Collateral Agent and the other Credit
Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more
of them by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, accept an assignment of
any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the
Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Loan Party, or
exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any other Loan
Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan
Party hereunder except to the extent that all the Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments have been terminated.
Each Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election even though
such election operates, pursuant to applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish
any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Loan
Party against any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.

                    (d)
Upon payment by any Loan Party of any Obligations, all rights of such Loan
Party against any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right
of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in
all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior
indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and the termination
of the Commitments. In addition, any indebtedness of any Loan Party now or
hereafter held by any other Loan Party is hereby subordinated in right of
payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and no
Loan Party will demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such
indebtedness. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Loan Party on
account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or
similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Loan Party, such amount
shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall
forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited against the
payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Subject to the
foregoing, to the extent that any Loan Party shall, under this Agreement as a
joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Loans made
to the Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily
by the Borrower or any other Loan Party (an “Accommodation Payment”), 

-126-

EXECUTION VERSION

then the Loan Party making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled
to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the
other Loan Parties in an amount, for each of such other Loan Parties, equal to
a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is
such other Loan Party’s Allocable Amount and the denominator of which is the
sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Loan Parties. As of any date of
determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Loan Party shall be equal
to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be
asserted against such Loan Party hereunder without (a) rendering such Loan
Party “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101 (31) of the Bankruptcy
Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or
Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”),
(b) leaving such Loan Party with unreasonably small capital or assets, within
the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or
Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Loan Party unable to pay its

_________________, 20__ 

          For good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, ________________, a
_____________ (the “Landlord”), executes this waiver in favor of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as collateral agent
(in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for its own benefit and the
benefit of certain other lenders (the “Lenders”) which are making loans
or furnishing other financial accommodations to [Foot Locker, Inc., a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York]
(the “Tenant”)1 pursuant to (i) that certain Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 27, 2012 (as amended, restated,
amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from
time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by, among others, the Tenant,
certain of the Tenant’s affiliates, the Lenders and the Collateral Agent, and
(ii) the other “Loan Documents” (as such term is defined in the Credit
Agreement). 

WITNESSETH:

          WHEREAS,
the Landlord owns real property located at ___________________ (collectively,
the “Leased Premises”), which real property the Landlord leases to the
Tenant pursuant to that certain [Lease Agreement] dated as of [___________] (as
amended and in effect as of the date hereof, the “Lease”). 

          WHEREAS,
the Tenant has entered into certain loan arrangements with the Collateral Agent
and the Lenders, pursuant to which the Collateral Agent and the Lenders have
agreed to make loans or furnish other financial accommodations to the Tenant. 

          WHEREAS,
loans and financial accommodations under the loan arrangement will be secured
by, among other things, certain of the Tenant’s present and after acquired
assets, including, without limitation, the Tenant’s inventory and books and
records located, and to be located, upon the Leased Premises (the “Collateral”).

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	

 

 

          1
The identity of the Tenant
should be changed to the appropriate Loan Party as necessary.

          WHEREAS, in
order to induce the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to make loans or furnish
other financial accommodations to the Tenant, the Landlord hereby represents,
warrants, covenants and agrees as follows: 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
 1.

 	
 To the best of the Landlord’s knowledge, the Tenant is not in default
 under the terms of the Lease. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 2.

 	
 The Landlord hereby waives and releases in favor of the Collateral
 Agent and the Lenders: (a) any and all rights of distraint, levy, and
 execution which the Landlord may now or hereafter have against the
 Collateral; (b) any and all statutory liens, security interests, or other
 liens which the Landlord may now or hereafter have in the Collateral; and (c)
 any and all other interests or claims of every nature whatsoever which the
 Landlord may now or hereafter have in or against the Collateral for any rent,
 storage charges, or other sums due, or to become due, to the Landlord by the
 Tenant. The Landlord agrees not to exercise any of the Landlord’s rights,
 remedies, powers, privileges, or discretions with respect to the Collateral,
 or the Landlord’s liens or security interests in the Collateral, unless and
 until the Landlord receives written notice from an officer of the Collateral
 Agent that the Tenant’s obligations to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders
 have been paid in full, and that the commitment of the Collateral Agent and
 the Lenders to make loans or furnish other financial accommodations to the
 Tenant has been terminated. The foregoing waiver is for the benefit of the
 Collateral Agent and the Lenders only and does not affect the obligations of
 the Tenant to the Landlord. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 3.

 	
 In the event of the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its rights
 upon default with respect to the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have
 a reasonable time (but in any event not to exceed one hundred and twenty
 (120) days) in which to repossess and/or dispose of the Collateral from the
 Leased Premises; provided, however, that such period will be
 tolled during any period in which the Collateral Agent has been stayed from
 taking action to remove the Collateral in any bankruptcy, insolvency or
 similar proceeding, and the Collateral Agent shall have an additional period
 of time thereafter in which to repossess and/or dispose of the Collateral
 from the Leased Premises. In those circumstances, the Landlord will, upon
 reasonable prior written notice from the Collateral Agent, (a) refrain from
 hindering the Collateral Agent’s actions in gaining access to the Leased
 Premises for the purpose of repossessing said Collateral and (b) if requested
 by the Collateral Agent, permit the Collateral Agent, or its agents or
 nominees, to dispose of the Collateral on the Leased Premises in a manner
 reasonably designed to minimize any interference with any of the Landlord’s
 other tenants at the Leased Premises. The Collateral Agent shall promptly
 restore and repair, at the Collateral Agent’s cost and expense, any physical
 damage to the Leased Premises resulting from any action taken by the
 Collateral Agent or its agents and employees upon the Leased Premises, but
 shall not be liable for any diminution in value of the Leased Premises caused
 by the removal or absence of the Collateral. 

 

	
  

 	
  

 
	
 4.

 	
 To the extent not paid or prepaid by the Tenant, the Collateral Agent
 shall pay the Landlord a sum for its use and occupancy of the Leased Premises
 on a per diem basis in an amount equal to the monthly base rent required to
 be paid by the Tenant under the lease between the Landlord and the Tenant
 from the date on which the Collateral Agent shall have taken possession of
 the Collateral on the Leased Premises until the date on which the Collateral
 Agent vacates the Leased Premises, it
 being understood, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not, thereby,
 have assumed any of the obligations of the Tenant to the Landlord, including,
 without limitation, any obligation to pay any past due rent owing by the
 Tenant. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 5.

 	
 Prior to the Landlord’s terminating its lease with the Tenant or
 evicting the Tenant from the Leased Premises for breach of the lease, the
 Landlord shall give the Collateral Agent not less than thirty (30) days’
 written notice of such action at the address set forth below, and a
 reasonable opportunity to preserve, protect, liquidate, or remove any
 Collateral on the Leased Premises and, if the Collateral Agent so elects, to
 cure such breach of the lease. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
 paragraph, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to cure any such
 breach or default. The cure of any such breach or default by the Collateral
 Agent on any one occasion shall not obligate the Collateral Agent to cure any
 other breach or default or to cure such default on any other occasion. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 6.

 	
 All notices under this waiver shall be made to the following
 addresses by recognized overnight courier, by hand delivery or by facsimile
 transmission:

 and their respective successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon the
 Landlord, its heirs, assigns, representatives, and successors.

 This waiver
 may not be amended or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the
 Collateral Agent, the Landlord, and the Tenant. This waiver shall be governed
 by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

with offices at 100 Federal Street, 9th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, as
collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for its own benefit
and the benefit of certain other credit parties (the “Credit Parties”),
pursuant to which the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties may from
time to time make loans or furnish certain other financial accommodations to the
Borrower. The Borrower’s obligations on account of such loans and financial
accommodations are secured by, among other things, all credit card charges
submitted by the Borrower to the Processor for processing and the amounts which
the Processor owes to the Borrower on account thereof (the “Credit Card
Proceeds”). 

          Until the
Processor receives written notification from the Collateral Agent that the
interest of the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties in the Credit
Card Proceeds has been terminated, all amounts as may become due from time to
time from the Processor to the Borrower (including, without limitation, Credit
Card Proceeds, payments from any reserve account or the like, or other
payments) shall be transferred only as follows: 

          (a) By ACH, Depository Transfer Check,
or Electronic Depository Transfer to:

 writing by an officer of the Collateral Agent. 

 

          Upon the
written request of the Collateral Agent, a copy of each periodic statement
issued by the Processor to the Borrower should be provided to the Collateral
Agent at the following address (which address may be changed upon seven (7)
days’ written notice given to the Processor by the Collateral Agent):

 Re: Foot Locker, Inc. 

 

          The
Processor shall be fully protected in acting on any order or direction by the
Collateral Agent respecting the Credit Card Proceeds and other amounts without
making any inquiry whatsoever as to the Collateral Agent’s right or authority
to give such order or direction or as to the application of any payment made
pursuant thereto. Nothing contained herein is intended to, nor shall it be
deemed to, modify the rights and obligations of the Borrower and the Collateral
Agent under the terms of the loan arrangement and the loan documents executed
in connection therewith between, among others, the Borrower and the Collateral
Agent. 

          This Credit
Card Notification may be amended only by the written
agreement of the Processor, the Borrower and the Collateral Agent and may be
terminated solely by written notice signed by an officer of the Collateral
Agent. The Borrower shall not have any right to terminate this Credit Card
Notification or, except as provided in this Credit Card Notification, amend it.
