Line Loans to the extent the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Revolving
Lenders, including the Revolving Loan deemed to be made by Swing Line Lender,
are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans.  If any portion of any such amount paid (or
deemed to be paid) to Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of

any assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the
amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in the manner
contemplated by subsection 10.5.

Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such
Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the rate customarily used by
Swing Line Lender for the correction of errors among banks for three Business
Days and thereafter at the Base Rate.  In
the event Swing Line Lender receives a payment of any amount with respect to
which other Revolving Lenders have funded the purchase of assignments as
provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall promptly distribute to each
such other Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment.

(d)                                 Revolving
Lenders’ Obligations.  Anything
contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Revolving Lender’s
obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded
Swing Line Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1A(iii)(b) and each Revolving Lender’s
obligation to purchase an assignment of any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to
the immediately preceding paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (1) any set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender
may have against Swing Line Lender, Company or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or a
Potential Event of Default; (3) any adverse change in the business,
operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects
of Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (4) any breach of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document by any party thereto; or (5) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Revolving Lender
are subject to the condition that (x) Swing Line Lender believed in good
faith that all conditions under Section 4 to the making of the applicable
Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans, as the case may be,
were satisfied at the

 33
 

 

time such Refunded
Swing Line Loans or unpaid Swing Line Loans were made or (y) the
satisfaction of any such condition not satisfied had been waived in accordance
with subsection 10.6 prior to or at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or
other unpaid Swing Line Loans were made.

B.                                    Borrowing Mechanics.  Loans made on any Funding Date (other than
Swing Line Loans, Revolving Loans made pursuant to a request by Swing Line
Lender pursuant to subsection 2.1A(iii) or Revolving Loans made pursuant to
subsection 3.3B) shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $100,000 and
multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount; provided that Loans,
made as LIBOR Loans with a particular Interest Period shall be in an aggregate
minimum amount of $1,000,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.  Swing Line Loans made on any Funding Date
shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $100,000 and multiples of $100,000
in excess of that amount.  Whenever
Company desires that Lenders make Term Loans or Revolving Loans it shall
deliver to Administrative Agent a duly executed Notice of Borrowing not later
than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least three Business Days in advance of
the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a LIBOR Loan) or at least one
Business Day in advance of the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a Base
Rate Loan).  Whenever Company desires
that Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan, it shall deliver to
Administrative Agent a duly executed Notice of Borrowing not later than 12:00
Noon (New York City time) on the proposed Funding Date.  Term Loans and Revolving Loans may be
continued as or converted into Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans in the manner
provided in subsection 2.2D.  In lieu of
delivering a Notice of Borrowing, Company may give Administrative Agent
telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed borrowing under this
subsection 2.1B; provided that such notice shall be promptly confirmed
in writing by delivery of a duly executed Notice of Borrowing to Administrative
Agent on or before the applicable Funding Date.

Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall
incur any liability to Company in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to
above that Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by an
Officer or other person authorized to borrow on behalf of Company or for
otherwise acting in good faith under this subsection 2.1B or under subsection
2.2D, and upon funding of Loans by Lenders, and upon conversion or continuation
of the applicable basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any
Loans pursuant to subsection 2.2D, in each case in accordance with this
Agreement, pursuant to any such telephonic notice Company shall have effected
Loans or a conversion or continuation, as the case may be, hereunder.

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

Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2.6B, 2.6C
and 2.6G, a Notice of Borrowing for or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation for
conversion to, or continuation of, a LIBOR Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu
thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related

 34
 

 

Interest Rate Determination Date, and Company shall be
bound to make a borrowing or to effect a conversion or continuation in
accordance therewith.

C.                                    Disbursement of Funds.  All Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be
made by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata
Shares, it being understood that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender
shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s
obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any
Lender to make the particular type of Loan requested be increased or decreased
as a result of a default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation
to make a Loan requested hereunder. 
Promptly after receipt by Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing
pursuant to subsection 2.1B (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof),
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender for that type of Loan or Swing
Line Lender, as the case may be, of the proposed borrowing.  Each such Lender (other than Swing Line Lender)
shall make the amount of its Loan available to Administrative Agent not later
than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date, and Swing
Line Lender shall make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to
Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the
applicable Funding Date, in each case in same day funds in Dollars, at the
Funding and Payment Office.  Except as
provided in subsection 2.1A(iii) and subsection 3.3B with respect to Revolving
Loans used to repay Refunded Swing Line Loans or to reimburse any Issuing
Lender for the amount of a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it, upon
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified in subsections 4.1
(in the case of Loans made on the Restatement Date) and 4.2 (in the case of all
Loans), Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Loans available to
Company on the applicable Funding Date by causing an amount of same day funds
in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by Administrative
Agent from Lenders to be credited to the account of Company at the Funding and
Payment Office.

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

 35
 

 

D.                                    The Register.  Administrative Agent, acting for these
purposes solely as an agent of Company (it being acknowledged that
Administrative Agent, in such capacity, and its officers, directors, employees,
agent and affiliates shall constitute Indemnitees under subsection 10.3), shall
maintain at its address referred to in subsection 10.8 a register for the
recordation of, and shall record, the names and addresses of Lenders and the
respective amounts of the Term Loan Commitment, Revolving Loan Commitment, Swing
Line Loan Commitment, Term Loan, Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans of each
Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  Administrative Agent shall make the Register
available for inspection by the Company and the Lenders upon reasonable prior
notice at reasonable times, provided that a Lender shall only be
entitled to inspect its own entry in the Register and not that of any other
Lender.  Company, Administrative Agent
and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register
as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed
therein for all purposes hereof; all amounts owed with respect to any
Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the
owner thereof; and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the
time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in
the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent
holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans.  Each Lender shall record on its internal
records the amount of its Loans and Commitments and each payment in respect
hereof, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company,
absent manifest error, subject to the entries in the Register, which shall,
absent manifest error, govern in the event of any inconsistency with any Lender’s
records.  Failure to make any recordation
in the Register or in any Lender’s records, or any error in such recordation,
shall not affect any Loans or Commitments or any Obligations in respect of any
Loans.

E.                                      Optional
Notes.  If so requested by any Lender
by written notice to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at any time,
Company shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if
so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender
pursuant to subsection 10.1) promptly after Company’s receipt of such notice, a
promissory note or promissory notes to evidence such Lender’s Term Loan,
Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans, substantially in the form of Exhibit IV,
Exhibit V or Exhibit VI, annexed hereto, respectively, with
appropriate insertions.

2.2                               Interest on the Loans.

A.                                    Rate of Interest.  Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.6
and 2.7, each Term Loan and each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the
unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate
or LIBOR.  Subject to the provisions of
subsection 2.7, each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid
principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate.  The applicable basis for determining the rate
of interest with respect to any Term Loan or any Revolving Loan shall be
selected by Company initially at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given with
respect to such Loan pursuant to subsection 2.1B (subject to the last sentence
of subsection 2.1B), and the basis for determining the interest rate with
respect to any Term Loan or any Revolving Loan may be changed from time to time
pursuant to subsection 2.2D (subject to the last sentence of subsection 2.1B).  If on any day a Term Loan or Revolving Loan
is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been delivered to
Administrative Agent

 36
 

 

in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement specifying the applicable basis for determining the
rate of interest, then for that day that Loan shall bear interest determined by
reference to the Base Rate.

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

(a)                                  if
a Base Rate Loan, then at the sum of the Base Rate plus the Base Rate
Margin set forth in the table below opposite the Consolidated Leverage Ratio
for the four Fiscal Quarter period for which the applicable Pricing Certificate
has been delivered pursuant to subsection 6.1(iv); or

(b)                                 if
a LIBOR Loan, then at the sum of Adjusted LIBOR plus the LIBOR Margin
set forth in the table below opposite the Consolidated  Leverage Ratio for the four Fiscal Quarter
period for which the applicable Pricing Certificate has been delivered pursuant
to subsection 6.1(iv):

	
  Consolidated Leverage Ratio

  	
   

  	
  LIBOR Margin

  	
   

  	
  Base Rate Margin

  	
   

  
	
  Greater than or
  equal to 3.50:1.00

  	
   

  	
  2.75

  	
  %

  	
  1.75

  	
  %

  
	
  Less than
  3.50:1.00 but greater or equal to 2.50:1.00

  	
   

  	
  2.50

  	
  %

  	
  1.50

  2.25

  	
  %

  	
  1.25

  	
  %

  

 

; provided that,
until the delivery of the Pricing Certificate for the fourth Fiscal Quarter of
2006, the applicable margin for Term Loans and Revolving Loans that are LIBOR
Loans shall be 2.50% per annum and for Term Loans and Revolving Loans that are
Base Rate Loans shall be 1.50% per annum and provided, further,
that until such time as the Company has once delivered evidence to the
Administrative Agent that its (or Holdings’) corporate credit is rated no less
than B1 by Moody’s, the Company will not be eligible for the lowest interest
rate percentage specified in the above table. 
Upon delivery of the Pricing Certificate by Company to Administrative
Agent pursuant to subsection 6.1(iv), the Base Rate Margin and the LIBOR Margin
shall automatically be adjusted in accordance with such Pricing Certificate,
such adjustment to become effective as of the third Business Day after the 45th day following the end of the most recently
completed Fiscal Quarter; provided that, if at the time a Pricing
Certificate is not delivered by the time required pursuant to subsection
6.1(iv), from the time such Pricing Certificate was required to be delivered
until delivery of such Pricing Certificate, the applicable margins shall be the
maximum percentage amount for the relevant Loan set forth above.

B.                                    Interest Periods.  In connection with each Base Rate Loan,
interest shall be payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and
December 31 of each year, and in connection with each LIBOR Loan, Company may,
pursuant to the applicable Notice of

 37
 

 

Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, select an interest period (each an
“Interest Period”) to be
applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be, at Company’s option,
either a one, two, three or six month period; provided that:

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

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

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

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

(v)                                 no
Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Term Loans shall extend
beyond the Stated Maturity Date, and no Interest Period with respect to any
portion of the Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans shall extend beyond the
Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date;

(vi)                              there
shall be no more than five Interest Periods outstanding at any time; and

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

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

D.                                    Conversion or Continuation.  Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6,
Company shall have the option (i) to convert at any time all or any part
of its outstanding Term Loans or Revolving Loans equal to $1,000,000 and
multiples of $100,000 in excess of that

 38
 

 

amount from Loans bearing
interest at a rate determined by reference to one basis to Loans bearing
interest at a rate determined by reference to an alternative basis or
(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR
Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $1,000,000 and
multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount as a LIBOR Loan; provided,
however, that a LIBOR Loan may only be converted into a Base Rate Loan
on the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless Company
pays on such conversion date all amounts owing to Lenders under subsection
2.6D.

Company shall deliver a duly executed Notice of
Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (New
York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion
date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three
Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the
case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a LIBOR Loan).  In lieu of delivering a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, Company may give Administrative Agent telephonic
notice by the required time of any proposed conversion/continuation under this
subsection 2.2D; provided that such notice shall be promptly confirmed
in writing by delivery of a duly executed Notice of Conversion/Continuation to
Administrative Agent on or before the proposed conversion/continuation
date.  Upon receipt of written or
telephonic notice of any proposed conversion/continuation under this subsection
2.2D, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of any Loan subject to the
Notice of Conversion/Continuation.

E.                                      Default Rate.  Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Event of Default under any of subsection 8.1, 8.6 or 8.7,
the outstanding principal amount of all Loans and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, any interest payments thereon not paid when due and any fees
and other amounts then due and payable hereunder, shall thereafter bear
interest (including post-petition interest in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding) payable upon demand by Administrative Agent at a rate that is 2%
per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement
with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and
other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate
otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans); provided
that, in the case of LIBOR Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in
effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such LIBOR
Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest
payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest
rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans.  Payment or acceptance of the increased rates
of interest provided for in this subsection 2.2E is not a permitted
alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of
Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of
Administrative Agent or any Lender.

F.                                      Computation
of Interest.  Interest on the Loans shall be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed
in the period during which it accrues. 
In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan
or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect
to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a LIBOR Loan, the date of conversion
of such LIBOR Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be
included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an
Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan
being converted to a LIBOR Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan
to such

 39
 

 

LIBOR Loan, as the case
may be, shall be excluded; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same
day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

G.                                    Maximum Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this subsection 2.2, in no event shall the rate of interest payable by Company
with respect to any Loan exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be
charged under applicable law.

2.3                               Fees.

A.                                    Commitment Fees.  Company agrees to pay to Administrative
Agent, for distribution to each Revolving Lender in proportion to that
Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share, commitment fees for the period from and
including the Original Closing Date to and excluding the Revolving Commitment
Termination Date in an amount equal to the average of the daily excess of the
Revolving Loan Commitment Amount over the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan
Commitments (excluding Swing Line Loans) multiplied by 0.50% per annum,
such commitment fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the
actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on
March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, commencing on the first
such date to occur after the Original Closing Date, and on the Revolving Loan
Commitment Termination Date.

B.                                    Other Fees.  Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent
such fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between
Company and Administrative Agent.

2.4                               Repayments,
Prepayments and Reductions in Revolving Loan Commitments; General Provisions
Regarding Payments; Application of Proceeds of Collateral and Payments Under
Guaranties.

A.                                    Scheduled Payments of Term Loans.  Company shall make principal

; provided that the scheduled installments of
principal of the Term Loans set forth above shall be reduced in connection with
any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans in accordance with
subsection 2.4B(iv); and provided, further that the Term Loans
and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Term Loans shall be
paid in full no later than the Stated Maturity Date, and the final installment
payable by Company in respect of the Term Loans on such date shall be in an
amount, if such amount is different from that specified above, sufficient to
repay all amounts owing by Company under this Agreement with respect to the
Term Loans.

B.                                    Prepayments and Unscheduled Reductions in
Revolving Loan Commitment Amount.

(i)                                     Voluntary
Prepayments.  Company may, upon
written or telephonic notice to Administrative Agent on or prior to 1:00 P.M.
(New York City time) on the date of prepayment, which notice, if telephonic,
shall be promptly confirmed in writing, at any time and from time to time
prepay any Swing Line Loan on any Business Day in whole or in part in an
aggregate minimum amount of $100,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess of
that amount.  Company may, upon not less
than one Business Day’s prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of Base
Rate Loans, and three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice, in the
case of LIBOR Loans, in each case given to Administrative Agent by 1:00 P.M.
(New York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly
confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent, who will promptly notify each
Lender whose Loans are to be prepaid of such prepayment), at any time and from
time to time prepay any Term Loans or Revolving Loans on any Business Day in
whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $100,000 and multiples of
$100,000 in excess of that amount; provided, however, that a
LIBOR Loan may only be prepaid on the expiration of the Interest Period
applicable thereto unless Company

 41
 

 

complies with
subsection 2.6D with respect to any breakage costs resulting from such
prepayment being made on a date prior to the expiration of the applicable
Interest Period.  Notice of prepayment
having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount of the Loans specified in
such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified
therein.  Any such voluntary prepayment
shall be applied as specified in subsection 2.4B(iv).

(ii)                                  Voluntary
Reductions of Revolving Loan Commitments. 
Company may, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or
telephonic notice confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent, or upon such
lesser number of days’ prior written or telephonic notice, as determined by
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time
terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty,
the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount in an amount up to the amount by which the
Revolving Loan Commitment Amount exceeds the Total Utilization of Revolving
Loan Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided
that any such partial reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall
be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and multiples of $100,000 in
excess of that amount.  Company’s notice
to Administrative Agent (who will promptly notify each Revolving Lender of such
notice) shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such
termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such
termination or reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall be
effective on the date specified in Company’s notice and shall reduce the amount
of the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Revolving Lender proportionately to
its Pro Rata Share.  Any such voluntary
reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall be applied as specified
in subsection 2.4B(iv).

(iii)                               Mandatory
Prepayments and Mandatory Reductions of Revolving Loan Commitments.  The Loans shall be prepaid and/or the
Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall be permanently reduced in the amounts
and under the circumstances set forth below, all such prepayments and/or
reductions to be applied as set forth below or as more specifically provided in
subsection 2.4B(iv) and subsection 2.4D:

(a)                                  Prepayments
and Reductions From Net Asset Sale Proceeds.  No later than five (5) Business Days
following the receipt by Holdings, Company or any of their Subsidiaries of any
Net Asset Sale Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale, Company shall either (1)
prepay the Loans and/or the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall be
permanently reduced in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Asset Sale
Proceeds or (2), so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, deliver to Administrative Agent an
Officer’s Certificate setting forth (x) that portion of such Net Asset Sale
Proceeds that Company or such Subsidiary intends to reinvest in equipment or
other productive assets of the general type used in the business of Company and
such Subsidiaries within 270 days of such date of receipt and (y) the proposed
use of such portion of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds and such other information
with respect to such reinvestment as Administrative Agent may reasonably request,
and Company shall, or shall cause one or more of such Subsidiaries to, promptly
and diligently apply such portion to such reinvestment purposes; provided,

 42
 

 

however,
that, pending such reinvestment, such portion of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds
shall be applied to prepay outstanding Revolving Loans (without a reduction in
the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount) to the full extent thereof if there are
any Revolving Loans then outstanding.  In
addition, Company shall, no later than 270 days after receipt of such Net Asset
Sale Proceeds that have not theretofore been applied to the Obligations or that
have not been so reinvested as provided above, make an additional prepayment of
the Loans (and/or the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall be permanently
reduced) in the full amount of all such Net Asset Sale Proceeds.

(b)                                 Prepayments
and Reductions from Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds.  No later than the five (5) Business Days
following the receipt by Administrative Agent or by Holdings, Company or any of
their Subsidiaries of any Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds that are required
to be applied to prepay the Loans and/or reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment
Amount pursuant to the provisions of subsection 6.4C, Company shall prepay the
Loans and/or the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall be permanently reduced
in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Net Insurance/Condemnation
Proceeds.

(c)                                  Prepayments
and Reductions Due to Issuance of Indebtedness.  On the date of receipt of the Net Securities
Proceeds from the issuance of any Indebtedness of Company, Holdings or any of
its other Subsidiaries after the Restatement Date (other than Indebtedness
permitted pursuant to subsection 7.1), Company shall prepay the Loans and/or the Revolving Loan
Commitment Amount shall be permanently reduced in an aggregate amount equal to
such Net Securities Proceeds.

(d)                                 Prepayments
and Reductions from Consolidated Excess Cash Flow.  In the event that there shall be Consolidated
Excess Cash Flow for any Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending on
January 1, 2006), Company shall, no later than 120 days after the end of such
Fiscal Year, prepay the Loans and/or the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall
be permanently reduced in an aggregate amount equal to 50% (the “Consolidated Excess Cash Flow Percentage”) of such
Consolidated Excess Cash Flow; provided that (I) if the Applicable
Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the end of such Fiscal Year is 4.00:1.00 or
less but greater than 2.25:1.00, Consolidated Excess Cash Flow Percentage shall
be 25%, and (II) if the Applicable Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the end of
such Fiscal Year is 2.25:1.00 or less, no prepayment or reduction shall be
required, and provided, further, that any prepayments and/or
reductions required under this subsection (d), shall be reduced on a dollar for
dollar basis by the amount of any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans made
during such Fiscal Year (it being agreed, however, that such credit may not be
carried forward to subsequent years).

(e)                                  Calculations
of Net Proceeds Amounts; Additional Prepayments and Reductions Based on
Subsequent Calculations. 
Concurrently with any

 43
 

 

prepayment of the
Loans and/or reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount pursuant to
subsections 2.4B(iii)(a)-(d), Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent an
Officer’s Certificate demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the
applicable Net Asset Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, Net
Securities Proceeds, or Consolidated Excess Cash Flow, as the case may be, that
gave rise to such prepayment and/or reduction. 
In the event that Company shall subsequently determine that the actual
amount was greater than the amount set forth in such Officer’s Certificate,
Company shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans (and/or, if
applicable, the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall be permanently reduced)
in an amount equal to the amount of such excess, and Company shall concurrently
therewith deliver to Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate
demonstrating the derivation of the additional amount resulting in such excess.

(f)                                    Prepayments
Due to Reductions or Restrictions of Revolving Loan Commitment Amount or due to
Insufficient Borrowing Base.  Company
shall from time to time prepay first the Swing Line Loans and second
the Revolving Loans (and, after prepaying all Revolving Loans, Cash
collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit by depositing the requisite
amount in the Collateral Account) to the extent necessary (1) so that the
Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments shall not at any time exceed
the lesser of (1) the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount then in effect or
(2) the Borrowing Base then in effect. 
At such time as the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments
shall be equal to or less than the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount and the
Borrowing Base then in effect if no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, to the extent any Cash collateral was provided by Company and has
not been applied to any Obligations as provided in the Security Agreement, such
amount may, at the request of Company, be released to Company.

(iv)                              Application
of Prepayments and Unscheduled Reductions of Revolving Loan Commitment Amount.

(a)                                  Application
of Voluntary Prepayments by Type of Loans and Order of Maturity.  Any voluntary prepayments pursuant to
subsection 2.4B(i) shall be applied as specified by Company in the applicable
notice of prepayment (subject to the next sentence); provided that in
the event Company fails to specify the Loans to which any such prepayment shall
be applied, such prepayment shall be applied first to repay outstanding
Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof, second to repay outstanding
Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof, and third to repay
outstanding Term Loans to the full extent thereof.  Any voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans
pursuant to subsection 2.4B(i) shall be applied to reduce the scheduled
installments of principal of the Term Loans set forth in subsection 2.4A on a
pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts
thereof) to each remaining scheduled installment of principal of the Term Loans
set forth in subsection 2.4A.

 44

 

(b)                                 Application
of Mandatory Prepayments by Type of Loans. 
Except as provided in subsection 2.4D, any amount required to be applied
as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans and/or a reduction of the Revolving Loan
Commitment Amount pursuant to subsections 2.4B(iii)(a)-(d) shall, be applied first
to prepay the Term Loans to the full extent thereof, second, to the
extent of any remaining portion of such amount, to prepay the Swing Line Loans
to the full extent thereof and to permanently reduce the Revolving Loan
Commitment Amount by the amount of such prepayment, and third, to the
extent of any remaining portion of such amount, to prepay the Revolving Loans
to the full extent thereof (and, after prepaying all Revolving Loans, Cash
collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit by depositing the requisite
amount in the Collateral Account) and to further permanently reduce the
Revolving Loan Commitment Amount by the amount of such prepayment.  Any mandatory reduction of the Revolving Loan
Commitment Amount pursuant to this subsection 2.4B shall be in proportion to
each Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share.

(c)                                  Application
of Mandatory Prepayments of Term Loans and the Scheduled Installments of
Principal Thereof.  Except as
provided in subsection 2.4D, any mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans
pursuant to subsection 2.4B(iii) shall be applied to reduce the scheduled
installments of principal of the Term Loans set forth in subsection 2.4A on a
pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts
thereof) to each scheduled installment of principal of the Term Loans set forth
in subsection 2.4A that is unpaid at the time of such prepayment.

(d)                                 Application
of Prepayments to Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans.  Considering Term Loans and Revolving Loans
being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base
Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to LIBOR Loans, in
each case in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be
made by Company pursuant to subsection 2.6D.

(e)                                  Application
of Unscheduled Reductions of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount.  Any voluntary or mandatory reduction of the
Revolving Loan Commitment Amount pursuant to subsection 2.4B(ii) or 2.4B(iii), respectively, shall be in proportion
of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share.

C.                                    General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(i)                                     Manner
and Time of Payment.  All payments by
Company of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in
Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any
restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than
1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date due at the Funding and Payment
Office for the account of Lenders.  Funds
received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be
deemed to have been paid by Company on the next succeeding Business Day.  Company hereby authorizes Administrative
Agent to charge its accounts with Administrative Agent in order to cause

 45
 

 

timely payment to
be made to Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses
due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for
that purpose).

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

(iii)                               Apportionment
of Payments.  Aggregate payments of
principal and interest shall be apportioned among all outstanding Loans to
which such payments relate, in each case proportionately to Lenders’ respective
Pro Rata Shares.  Administrative Agent
shall promptly distribute to each Lender, at the account specified in the
payment instructions delivered to Administrative Agent by such Lender, its Pro
Rata Share of all such payments received by Administrative Agent and the
commitment fees and letter of credit fees of such Lender, if any, when received
by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.3 and subsection
3.2.  Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this subsection 2.4C(iii), if, pursuant to the provisions of
subsection 2.6C, any Notice of Conversion/Continuation is withdrawn as to any
Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its
Pro Rata Share of any LIBOR Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect
thereto in apportioning interest payments received thereafter.

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

(v)                                 Notation
of Payment.  Each Lender agrees that
before disposing of any Note held by it, or any part thereof (other than by
granting participations therein), that Lender will make a notation thereon of
all Loans evidenced by that Note and all principal payments previously made
thereon and of the date to which interest thereon has been paid; provided
that the failure to make (or any error in the making of) a notation of any Loan
made under such Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of
Company hereunder or under such Note with respect to any Loan or any payments
of principal or interest on such Note.

D.                                    Application of Proceeds of Collateral and
Payments after Event of Default.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, if requested by Requisite Lenders, or upon acceleration of
the Obligations pursuant to Section 8, (a) all payments received by Administrative
Agent, whether from Company, Holdings or any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise,
and (b) all proceeds received by Administrative Agent in respect of any sale
of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral

 46
 

 

under any Collateral Document may, in the discretion
of Administrative Agent, be held by Administrative Agent as Collateral for,
and/or (then or at any time thereafter) applied in full or in part by
Administrative Agent, in each case in the following order of priority:

(i)                                     to
the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other
realization, all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by
Administrative Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which
Administrative Agent is entitled to compensation (including the fees described
in subsection 2.3), reimbursement and indemnification under any Loan Document
and all advances made by Administrative Agent thereunder for the account of the
applicable Loan Party, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or
incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan Documents, all in
accordance with subsections 9.4, 10.2 and 10.3 and the other terms of this
Agreement and the Loan Documents;

(ii)                                  thereafter,
to the payment of the Obligations and obligations of Loan Parties under any
Lender Hedge Agreement for the ratable benefit of the holders thereof (subject
to the provisions of subsection 2.4C(ii) hereof); and

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

2.5                               Use of Proceeds.

A.                                    Term Loans.  The proceeds of the Term Loans
outstanding on the Restatement Date have been applied to the purposes
contemplated by the Original Credit Agreement.

B.                                    Revolving
Loans and Swing Line Loans.  The
proceeds of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans shall be applied by
Company for the issuance of Letters of Credit and for working capital and other
general corporate purposes, which may include (1) the making of intercompany
loans to any wholly-owned Subsidiaries in accordance with subsection 7.1(iv),
for their own general corporate purposes and (2) Permitted Acquisitions.

C.                                    Margin Regulations.  No portion of the proceeds of any borrowing
under this Agreement shall be used by Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any
manner that might cause the borrowing or the application of such proceeds to
violate Regulation U, Regulation T or Regulation X of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board
or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect on the date or dates
of such borrowing and such use of proceeds.

2.6                               Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Loans.

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

A.                                    Determination of Applicable Interest Rate.  On each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative
Agent shall determine in accordance with the terms of this

 47
 

 

Agreement (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final conclusive and binding
upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the LIBOR Loans for
which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest
Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone
confirmed in writing) to Company and each applicable Lender.

B.                                    Inability to Determine Applicable Interest
Rate.  In the event that
Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final,
conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate
Determination Date that by reason of circumstances affecting the London
interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the
interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the
definition of LIBOR, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by
telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender
of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted
to, LIBOR Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Company and
such Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist
and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation
given by Company with respect to the Loans in respect of which such
determination was made shall be deemed to be for a Base Rate Loan.

C.                                    Illegality or Impracticability of LIBOR Loans.  In the event that on any date any Lender
shall have determined (which determination shall be final, conclusive and
binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with
Company and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation
of its LIBOR Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by
such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation,
guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule,
regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the
failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful) or (ii) has become
impracticable, or would cause such Lender material hardship, as a result of
contingencies occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and
adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in
that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day
give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company
and Administrative Agent of such determination. 
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each other Lender of the
receipt of such notice.  Thereafter
(a) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert
Loans to, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn
by the Affected Lender, (b) to the extent such determination by the
Affected Lender relates to a LIBOR Loan then being requested by Company
pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the
Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or convert such Loan to, as the case
may be) a Base Rate Loan, (c) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain
its outstanding LIBOR Loans (the “Affected
Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the
expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected
Loans or when required by law, and (d) the Affected Loans shall
automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such
termination.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described
above relates to a LIBOR Loan then being requested by Company pursuant to a
Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company shall have
the option, subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6D, to rescind such
Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation as to all Lenders by
giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to
Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the

 48
 

 

Affected Lender gives
notice of its determination as described above. 
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each other Lender of the
receipt of such notice.  Except as provided
in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this subsection 2.6C shall
affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or
maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, LIBOR Loans in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.

D.                                    Compensation For Breakage or Non-Commencement
of Interest Periods.  Company
shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by that Lender pursuant to
subsection 2.8, for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including
any interest paid by that Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or
carry its LIBOR Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by that
Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but
excluding any loss of profit such as the LIBOR Margin) which that Lender may
sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by that Lender) a
borrowing of any LIBOR Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a
Notice of Borrowing or a telephonic request therefor, or a conversion to or
continuation of any LIBOR Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a
Notice of Conversion/Continuation or a telephonic request therefor,
(ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment or any conversion of any
of its LIBOR Loans (including any prepayment or conversion occasioned by the
circumstances described in subsection 2.6C) occurs on a date prior to the last
day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan, and (iii) if any
prepayment of any of its LIBOR Loans is not made on any date specified in a
notice of prepayment given by Company.

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

F.                                      Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.
 Calculation of all amounts payable to a
Lender under this subsection 2.6 and under subsection 2.7A shall be made as
though that Lender had funded each of its LIBOR Loans through the purchase of a
LIBOR deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition
of LIBOR in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Loan and having a
maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period, whether or not its LIBOR
Loans had been funded in such manner.

G.                                    LIBOR Loans After Default.  After the occurrence of and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, if Requisite Lenders so elect,
(i) Company may not elect to have a Loan be made or maintained as, or
converted to, a LIBOR Loan after the expiration of any Interest Period then in
effect for that Loan and (ii) subject to the provisions of subsection
2.6D, any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by
Company with respect to a requested borrowing or conversion/continuation that
has not yet occurred shall be deemed to be for a Base Rate Loan or, if the
conditions to making a Loan set forth in subsection 4.2 cannot then be
satisfied, to be rescinded by Company.

2.7                               Increased Costs; Taxes; Capital Adequacy.

A.                                    Compensation for Increased Costs.  Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7B
(which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in
the event that any Lender (including any Issuing Lender) shall determine (which
determination shall,

 49
 

 

be final and conclusive
and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule,
regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation,
administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new
law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of
a court or other Government Authority, in each case that becomes effective
after the date such Lender became a Lender, or compliance by such Lender with
any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any
central bank or other Government Authority (whether or not having the force of
law):

(i)                                     subjects
such Lender to any additional Tax with respect to this Agreement or any of its
obligations hereunder (including with respect to issuing or maintaining any
Letters of Credit or purchasing or maintaining any participations therein or
maintaining any Commitment hereunder) or any payments to such Lender of
principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder;

(ii)                                  imposes,
modifies or holds applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or
other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other
credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such
Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to LIBOR
Loans that are reflected in the definition of LIBOR); or

(iii)                               imposes
any other condition (other than with respect to Taxes) on or affecting such
Lender or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase
the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining its Loans or
Commitments or agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit
or agreeing to purchase, purchasing or maintaining any participation therein or
to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender with respect
thereto; then, in any such case, Company shall promptly pay to such Lender,
upon receipt of the statement referred to in subsection 2.8A, such additional
amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method
of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion
shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender on an after-tax
basis for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or
receivable hereunder; provided that Company shall not be obligated to
pay such additional amounts to the extent such additional amounts are incurred
more than nine (9) months prior to the giving of such statement; provided,
further, that, if such law, rule, regulation, order, guideline, request or
other legal requirement giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended
to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

B.                                    Taxes.

(i)                                     Payments
to Be Free and Clear.  All sums
payable by Company under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of,
any Tax imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the
United States of America or any political subdivision in or of the United
States of America or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is

 50
 

 

made by or on
behalf of Company or by any federation or organization of which the United
States of America or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment.

(ii)                                  Grossing-up
of Payments.  If Company or any other
Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of
any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by Company to Administrative Agent or
any Lender under any of the Loan Documents:

(a)                                  Company
shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any
such requirement as soon as Company becomes aware of it;

(b)                                 Company
shall pay any such Tax when such Tax is due, such payment to be made (if the
liability to pay is imposed on Company) for its own account or (if that
liability is imposed on Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may
be) on behalf of and in the name of Administrative Agent or such Lender;

(c)                                  the
sum payable by Company in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding
or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure
that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment,
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due
date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction,
withholding or payment been required or made; and

(d)                                 within
30 days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any
deduction or withholding, and within 30 days after the due date of payment of
any Tax which it is required by clause (b) above to pay, Company shall deliver
to Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of
such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the
relevant taxing or other authority;

provided that no such additional
amount shall be required to be paid to any Lender under clause (c) above except
to the extent that any change after the date on which such Lender became a
Lender in any such requirement for a deduction, withholding or payment as is
mentioned therein shall result in an increase in the rate of such deduction,
withholding or payment from that in effect on the date on which such Lender
became a Lender in respect of payments to such Lender.

(iii)                               Evidence of Exemption
from U.S. Withholding Tax.

(a)                                  Each
Non-US Lender shall deliver to
Administrative Agent and to Company, on or prior to the Original Closing Date
(in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof) or on or
prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a
Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be
necessary in the determination of Company or Administrative Agent (each in the
reasonable exercise of its discretion), two original copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor forms) properly completed and
duly executed by such 

 51
 

 

Lender, or, in the
case of a Non-US Lender claiming exemption from United States federal
withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code with
respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a form W-8BEN, and a certificate
of such Lender certifying that such Lender is not (i) a “bank” for
purposes of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (ii) a ten-percent
shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue
Code) of Company or Holdings or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation
related to Company (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal
Revenue Code), in each case together with any other certificate or statement of
exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued
thereunder to establish that such Lender is not subject to United States
withholding tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of amounts payable
under any of the Loan Documents.

(b)                                 Each
Non-US Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own
account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender
under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical
participation by such Lender), shall deliver to Administrative Agent and to
Company, on or prior to the Original Closing Date (in the case of each Lender
listed on the signature pages hereof), on or prior to the date of the
Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each
other Lender), or on such later date when such Lender ceases to act for its own
account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at
such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Company or
Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (1)
two original copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such
Lender under subsection 2.7B(iii)(a), properly completed and duly executed by
such Lender, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with
respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to
United States withholding tax, and (2) two original copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly
executed by such Lender, together with any information, if any, such Lender
chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of
exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued
thereunder, to establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account
with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Lender.

(c)                                  Each
Non-US Lender hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such
Lender of such forms, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances
renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered obsolete or
inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly
(1) deliver to Administrative Agent and to Company two original copies of
renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms, properly completed and
duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement
of exemption required in order to confirm or establish that such Lender is not
subject to United States withholding tax with respect to payments to such
Lender under the Loan Documents and, if applicable, that such Lender does not
act for its own

 52
 

 

account with
respect to any portion of such payment, or (2) notify Administrative Agent
and Company of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other
evidence.

(d)                                 Company
shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-US Lender under
clause (c) of subsection 2.7B(ii), (1) with respect to any Tax required to be
deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or
statements of exemption such Lender chooses to transmit with an Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8IMY pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iii)(b)(2) or (2) if
such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the requirements of clause (a), (b) or
(c)(1) of this subsection 2.7B(iii); provided that if such Lender shall
have satisfied the requirements of subsection 2.7B(iii)(a) on the date such
Lender became a Lender, nothing in this subsection 2.7B(iii)(d) shall relieve
Company of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to subsection 2.7B(ii)(c)
in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or
governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation,
administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly
entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date
establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as
described in subsection 2.7B(iii)(a).

C.                                    Capital Adequacy Adjustment.  If any Lender shall have determined that the
adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the date hereof of any
law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or
any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
Government Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof,
or compliance by any Lender with any guideline, request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
Government Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender
as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Commitments
or Letters of Credit or participations therein or other obligations hereunder
with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which
such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such
adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking
into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation
with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business
Days after receipt by Company from such Lender of the statement referred to in
subsection 2.8A, Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an
after-tax basis for such reduction; provided that Company shall not be
obligated to pay such additional amounts to the extent such additional amounts
are incurred more than nine (9) months prior to the giving of such statement; provided,
further, that, if such law, rule, regulation, order, guideline, request
or other legal requirement giving rise to such additional amounts is
retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended
to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

 53
 

 

2.8                               Statement of Lenders; Obligation of Lenders
and Issuing Lenders to Mitigate.

A.                                    Statements.  Each Lender claiming compensation or
reimbursement pursuant to subsection 2.6D, 2.7 or 2.8B shall deliver to Company
(with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis of the calculation of such compensation or reimbursement,
which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent
manifest error.

B.                                    Mitigation.  Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that,
as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender or Issuing Lender
responsible for administering the Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event
or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an
Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender or Issuing Lender to receive
payments under subsection 2.7, it will use reasonable efforts to make, issue,
fund or maintain the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans or Letters of
Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender through another lending or letter of
credit office of such Lender or Issuing Lender, if (i) as a result thereof the
circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would
cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to
be paid to such Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 2.7 would be
materially reduced and (ii) as determined by such Lender or Issuing Lender in
its sole discretion, such action would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender or Issuing Lender; provided that such Lender or Issuing Lender
will not be obligated to utilize such other lending or letter of credit office
pursuant to this subsection 2.8B unless Company agrees to pay all incremental
expenses incurred by such Lender or Issuing Lender as a result of utilizing
such other lending or letter of credit office as described above.

2.9                               Replacement of a Lender.

If Company receives a statement of amounts due
pursuant to subsection 2.8A from a Lender, a Revolving Lender defaults in its
obligations to fund a Revolving Loan pursuant to this Agreement, a Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) refuses to consent to an amendment,
modification or waiver of this Agreement that, pursuant to subsection 10.6,
requires consent of 100% of the Lenders or 100% of the Lenders with Obligations
directly affected or a Lender becomes an Affected Lender (any such Lender, a “Subject Lender”), so long as (i) no Potential Event
of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
Company has obtained a commitment from another Lender or an Eligible Assignee
to purchase at par the Subject Lender’s Loans and assume the Subject Lender’s
Commitments and all other obligations of the Subject Lender hereunder, (ii)
such Lender is not an Issuing Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit
outstanding (unless all such Letters of Credit are terminated or arrangements
acceptable to such Issuing Lender (such as a “back-to-back” letter of credit)
are made) and (iii), if applicable, the Subject Lender is unwilling to withdraw
the notice delivered to Company pursuant to subsection 2.8 and/or is unwilling
to remedy its default upon 10 days prior written notice to the Subject Lender
and Administrative Agent, Company may require the Subject Lender to assign all
of its Loans and Commitments to such other Lender, Lenders, Eligible Assignee
or Eligible Assignees pursuant to the provisions of subsection 10.1B; provided
that, prior to or concurrently with such replacement, (1) the Subject Lender
shall have received 

 54
 

 

payment in full of all principal, interest, fees and
other amounts (including all amounts under subsections 2.6D, 2.7 and/or 2.8B
(if applicable)) through such date of replacement and a release from its
obligations under the Loan Documents, (2) the processing fee required to be
paid by subsection 10.1B(i) shall have been paid to Administrative Agent, (3)
all of the requirements for such assignment contained in subsection 10.1B,
including, without limitation, the consent of Administrative Agent (if
required) and the receipt by Administrative Agent of an executed Assignment
Agreement and other supporting documents, have been fulfilled, and (4) in the
event such Subject Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each assignee shall
consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which
such Subject Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender and Company also requires each
other Subject Lender that is a Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and
Commitments.  For the avoidance of doubt,
if a Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender solely because it refused to consent to
an amendment, modification or waiver that required the consent of 100% of
Lenders with Obligations directly affected thereby (which amendment,
modification or waiver did not accordingly require the consent of 100% of all
Lenders), the Loans and Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender that are
subject to the assignments required by this subsection 2.9 shall include
only those Loans and Commitments that constitute the Obligations directly
affected by the amendment, modification or waiver to which such Non-Consenting
Lender refused to provide its consent.

3.                                          LETTERS
OF CREDIT

3.1                               Issuance of Letters of Credit and Lenders’
Purchase of Participations Therein.

A.                                    Letters of Credit.  In addition to Company requesting that
Lenders make Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1A, Company may request, in
accordance with the provisions of this subsection 3.1, from time to time during
the period from the Original Closing Date to but excluding the 30th day prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment
Termination Date, that one or more Revolving Lenders issue Letters of Credit
payable on a sight basis for the account of Company for the general corporate
purposes of Company or a Subsidiary of Company or Holdings.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Company
herein set forth, any one or more Revolving Lenders may, but (except as
provided in subsection 3.1B(ii)) shall not be obligated to, issue such Letters
of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 3.1; provided
that Company shall not request that any Revolving Lender issue (and no
Revolving Lender shall issue):

(i)                                     any
Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Total
Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the lesser of the
Revolving Loan Commitment Amount then in effect or the Borrowing Base then in
effect;

(ii)                                  any
Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Letter of Credit
Usage would exceed $5,000,000;

(iii)                               any
Standby Letter of Credit having an expiration date later than the earlier of
(a) ten days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and
(b) the date which is one year from the date of issuance of such Standby
Letter of Credit; provided that the immediately preceding clause (b)
shall not prevent any Issuing Lender

 55
 

 

from agreeing that
a Standby Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more
successive periods not to exceed one year each unless such Issuing Lender
elects not to extend for any such additional period; and provided, further
that such Issuing Lender shall elect not to extend such Standby Letter of
Credit if it has knowledge that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing (and has not been waived in accordance with subsection 10.6) at the
time such Issuing Lender must elect whether or not to allow such extension;

(iv)                              any
Standby Letter of Credit issued for the purpose of supporting (a) trade
payables or (b) any Indebtedness constituting “antecedent debt” (as that term
is used in Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code);

(v)                                 any
Commercial Letter of Credit having an expiration date (a) later than the
earlier of (1) the date which is 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan
Commitment Termination Date and (2) the date which is 180 days from the date of
issuance of such Commercial Letter of Credit or (b) that is otherwise
unacceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender in its reasonable discretion; or

(vi)                              any
Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars.

B.                                    Mechanics of Issuance.

(i)                                     Request
for Issuance.  Whenever Company
desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, it shall deliver to Administrative
Agent a Request for Issuance not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) at
least three Business Days (in the case of Standby Letters of Credit) or five
Business Days (in the case of Commercial Letters of Credit), or in each case
such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender in any particular
instance, in advance of the proposed date of issuance.  The Issuing Lender, in its reasonable
discretion, may require changes in the text of the proposed Letter of Credit or
any documents described in or attached to the Request for Issuance (it being
understood that if any term of such proposed Letter of Credit or such other
document shall contradict or otherwise conflict with any term or provision
contained in this Agreement, the term or provision contained in this Agreement
shall control).  In furtherance of the
provisions of subsection 10.8, and not in limitation thereof, Company may
submit Requests for Issuance by telefacsimile and Administrative Agent and
Issuing Lenders may rely and act upon any such Request for Issuance without
receiving an original signed copy thereof.

Company shall notify the applicable Issuing Lender
(and Administrative Agent, if Administrative Agent is not such Issuing Lender)
prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit in the event that any of the
matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Request for
Issuance is no longer true and correct as of the proposed date of issuance of
such Letter of Credit, and upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit Company
shall be deemed to have re-certified, as of the date of such issuance, as to
the matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Request
for Issuance.

 56
 

 

(ii)                                  Determination
of Issuing Lender.  Upon receipt by
Administrative Agent of a Request for Issuance pursuant to subsection 3.1B(i)
requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, in the event Administrative
Agent elects to issue such Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent shall
promptly so notify Company, and Administrative Agent shall be the Issuing Lender
with respect thereto.  In the event that
Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, elects not to issue such Letter
of Credit, Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify Company, whereupon
Company may request any other Revolving Lender to issue such Letter of Credit
by delivering to such Revolving Lender a copy of the applicable Request for
Issuance.  Any Revolving Lender so
requested to issue such Letter of Credit shall promptly notify Company and
Administrative Agent whether or not, in its sole discretion, it has elected to
issue such Letter of Credit, and any such Revolving Lender that so elects to
issue such Letter of Credit shall be the Issuing Lender with respect
thereto.  In the event that all other
Revolving Lenders shall have declined to issue such Letter of Credit,
notwithstanding the prior election of Administrative Agent not to issue such
Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent shall be obligated to issue such Letter
of Credit and shall be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto, notwithstanding
the fact that the Letter of Credit Usage with respect to such Letter of Credit
and with respect to all other Letters of Credit issued by Administrative Agent,
when aggregated with Administrative Agent’s outstanding Revolving Loans and
Swing Line Loans, may exceed the amount of Administrative Agent’s Revolving
Loan Commitment then in effect.

(iii)                               Issuance
of Letter of Credit.  Upon
satisfaction or waiver (in accordance with subsection 10.6) of the conditions
set forth in subsection 4.3, the Issuing Lender shall issue the requested
Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s standard operating
procedures.

(iv)                              Notification
to Revolving Lenders.  Upon the
issuance of or amendment to any Standby Letter of Credit the applicable Issuing
Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and Company of such issuance
or amendment in writing and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such
Standby Letter of Credit or amendment. 
Upon receipt of such notice (or, if Administrative Agent is the Issuing
Lender, together with such notice), Administrative Agent shall notify each
Revolving Lender in writing of such issuance or amendment and the amount of
such Revolving Lender’s respective participation in such Standby Letter of
Credit or amendment, and, if so requested by a Revolving Lender, Administrative
Agent shall provide such Lender with a copy of such Letter of Credit or
amendment.  In the case of Commercial
Letters of Credit, in the event that Issuing Lender is other than
Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender will send by facsimile transmission
to Administrative Agent, promptly upon the first Business Day of each week, a
report of its daily aggregate maximum amount available for drawing under
Commercial Letters of Credit for the previous week.  Upon receipt of such report, Administrative
Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender in writing of the contents thereof.

C.                                    Revolving Lenders’ Purchase of Participations
in Letters of Credit. 
Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving
Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have irrevocably purchased
from the Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and any
drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such

 57
 

 

Revolving Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of the maximum amount that is or at any time may become available to
be drawn thereunder.

3.2                               Letter of Credit Fees.

Company agrees to pay the
following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued hereunder:

(i)                                     with
respect to each Letter of Credit, (a) a fronting fee, payable directly to
the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account, equal to 0.25% per annum of
the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and
(b) a letter of credit fee, payable to Administrative Agent for the
account of Revolving Lenders, equal to the applicable LIBOR Margin for the
Revolving Loans multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn under such
Letter of Credit, each such fronting fee or letter of credit fee to be payable
in arrears on and to (but excluding) each March 31, June 30,
September 30 and December 31 of each year and computed on the basis
of a 360-day year for the actual
number of days elapsed; and

(ii)                                  with
respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each
payment of a drawing made thereunder (without duplication of the fees payable
under clause (i) above), documentary and processing charges payable directly to
the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account in accordance with such
Issuing Lender’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of
such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.

For purposes of
calculating any fees payable under clause (i) of this subsection 3.2,
the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall be
determined as of the close of business on any date of determination.

3.3                               Drawings and Reimbursement of Amounts Paid
Under Letters of Credit.

A.                                    Responsibility of Issuing Lender With Respect
to Drawings.  In determining
whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary
thereof, the Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to examine the documents
delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain
whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and
conditions of such Letter of Credit.

B.                                    Reimbursement by Company of Amounts Paid
Under Letters of Credit.  In
the event an Issuing Lender has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of
Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall immediately notify Company and
Administrative Agent, and Company shall reimburse such Issuing Lender on or
before the Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is
honored (the “Reimbursement Date”)
in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such
payment; provided that, anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless Company shall have notified Administrative
Agent and such Issuing Lender prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the
date such drawing is honored that Company intends to reimburse such Issuing
Lender for the amount of such payment with funds other than the proceeds of
Revolving

 58
 

 

Loans, Company shall be
deemed to have given a timely Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent
requesting Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans
on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such
payment and Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of
the proposed borrowing and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions specified in subsection 4.2B, Revolving Lenders shall, on the
Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount
of such payment, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by
Administrative Agent to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of such
payment; and provided, further that if for any reason proceeds of
Revolving Loans are not received by such Issuing Lender on the Reimbursement
Date in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, Company shall reimburse
such Issuing Lender, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the
excess of the amount of such payment over the aggregate amount of such
Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. 
Nothing in this subsection 3.3B shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving
Lender from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement, and Company shall retain any and all rights it may
have against any Revolving Lender resulting from the failure of such Revolving
Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this subsection 3.3B.

C.                                    Payment by Lenders of Unreimbursed Amounts
Paid Under Letters of Credit.

(i)                                     Payment
by Revolving Lenders.  In the event
that Company shall fail for any reason to reimburse any Issuing Lender as
provided in subsection 3.3B in an amount equal to the amount of any payment by
such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender
shall promptly notify Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify each
Revolving Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such
Revolving Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Revolving
Lender’s Pro Rata Share.  Each Revolving
Lender (other than such Issuing Lender) shall make available to Administrative
Agent an amount equal to its respective participation, in Dollars, in same day
funds, at the Funding and Payment Office, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York
City time) on the first Business Day after the date notified by Administrative
Agent, and Administrative Agent shall make available to such Issuing Lender in
Dollars, in same day funds, at the office of such Issuing Lender on such
Business Day the aggregate amount of the payments so received by Administrative
Agent.  In the event that any Revolving
Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent on such Business Day the
amount of such Revolving Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as
provided in this subsection 3.3C, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to
recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest
thereon at the rate customarily used by such Issuing Lender for the correction
of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base
Rate.  Nothing in this subsection 3.3C
shall be deemed to prejudice the right of Administrative Agent to recover, for
the benefit of Revolving Lenders, from any Issuing Lender any amounts made
available to such Issuing Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.3C in the event
that it is determined by the final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit by such
Issuing Lender in respect of which payments were made by Revolving Lenders
constituted gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of
such Issuing Lender.

 59

 

(ii)                                  Distribution
to Lenders of Reimbursements Received From Company.  In the event any Issuing Lender shall have
been reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3C(i) for
all or any portion of any payment by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of
Credit issued by it, and Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender thereafter
receives any payments from Company in reimbursement of such payment under the
Letter of Credit, to the extent any such payment is received by such Issuing
Lender, it shall distribute such payment to Administrative Agent, and
Administrative Agent shall (or, to the extent that Administrative Agent
receives any such payment directly, it shall) distribute to each other
Revolving Lender that has paid all amounts payable by it under subsection
3.3C(i) with respect to such payment such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
all payments subsequently received by Administrative Agent or by such Issuing
Lender from Company.  Any such
distribution shall be made to a Revolving Lender at the account specified in
subsection 2.4C(iii).

D.                                    Interest on Amounts Paid Under Letters of
Credit.

(i)                                     Payment
of Interest by Company.  Company
agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, with respect to payments under any
Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender, interest on the amount paid by
such Issuing Lender in respect of each such payment from the date a drawing is
honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by Company
(including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans
pursuant to subsection 3.3B) at a rate equal to (a) for the period from the
date such drawing is honored to but excluding the Reimbursement Date, the rate
then in effect under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans that are
Base Rate Loans and (b) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of
the rate of interest otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to
Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. 
Interest payable pursuant to this subsection 3.3D(i) shall be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year for
the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues and
shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the
related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full.

(ii)                                  Distribution
of Interest Payments by Administrative Agent.  Promptly upon receipt by Administrative Agent
of any payment of interest pursuant to subsection 3.3D(i) with respect to a
payment under a Letter of Credit, (a) Administrative Agent shall distribute to
(x) each Revolving Lender (including the Revolving Lender that paid such
drawing) out of the interest received by Administrative Agent in respect of the
period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which
the applicable Issuing Lender is reimbursed for the amount of such payment
(including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans
pursuant to subsection 3.3B), the amount that such Revolving Lender would have
been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have
been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period pursuant to
subsection 3.2 if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit, and
(y) such Issuing Lender the amount, if any, remaining after payment of the
amounts applied pursuant to clause (x), and (b) in the event such Issuing
Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders pursuant to
subsection 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of such payment, Administrative Agent
shall distribute to each Revolving Lender (including such Issuing Lender) that
has paid all amounts payable by it under

 60
 

 

subsection 3.3C(i)
with respect to such payment such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any
interest received by Administrative Agent in respect of that portion of such
payment so made by Revolving Lenders for the period from the date on which such
Issuing Lender was so reimbursed to but excluding the date on which such
portion of such payment is reimbursed by Company.  Any such distribution shall be made to a
Revolving Lender at the account specified in subsection 2.4C(iii).

E.                                      Cash
Collateralization.  If Administrative
Agent notifies Company at any time that the Letter of Credit Usage at such time
exceeds 105% of the sublimit for Letters of Credit specified in
subsection 3.1A(ii), then, within two Business Days after receipt of such
notice, Company shall deposit in the Collateral Account established pursuant to
the Security Agreement an amount equal to the amount by which the Letter of
Credit Usage exceeds such sublimit, which amount shall constitute Collateral
and be subject to the provisions of the Security Agreement.  At such time as the Letter of Credit Usage
shall be equal to or less than such sublimit, if no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, such amount may, at the request of Company, be
released to Company.

3.4                               Obligations
Absolute.

The obligation of Company to reimburse each Issuing
Lender for payments under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any
Revolving Loans made by Revolving Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3B and the
obligations of Revolving Lenders under subsection 3.3C(i) shall be
unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement under all circumstances including any of the following
circumstances:

(i)                                     any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(ii)                                  the
existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Company or any
Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any
Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting),
any Issuing Lender or other Revolving Lender or any other Person or, in the
case of a Revolving Lender, against Company, whether in connection with this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction
(including any underlying transaction between Company or one of its
Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(iii)                               any
draft or other document presented under any 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;

(iv)                              payment
by the applicable Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation
of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms
of such Letter of Credit;

(v)                                 any
adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

 61
 

 

(vi)                              any
breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto;

(vii)                           any
other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing; or

(viii)                        the fact
that an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing;

provided, in each case, that payment
by the applicable Issuing Lender under the applicable Letter of Credit shall
not have constituted gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such
Issuing Lender under the circumstances in question (as determined by a final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

3.5                               Nature of Issuing Lenders’ Duties.

As between Company and any Issuing Lender, Company
assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of
Credit issued by such Issuing Lender by, the respective beneficiaries of such
Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and
not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Lender shall not be
responsible for:  (i) the form,
validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document
submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of
any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all
respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign any such 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; (iii) failure of the
beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions
required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors,
omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages,
by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in
cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or
delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to
make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof;
(vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the
proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences
arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Lender, including any
act or omission by a Government Authority, and none of the above shall affect
or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of such Issuing Lender’s rights or
powers hereunder.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of
the specific provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this subsection
3.5, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection
with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates
delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such
Issuing Lender under any resulting liability to Company.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this subsection 3.5, Company shall retain any and all rights it may have
against any Issuing Lender for any liability arising solely out of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender, as determined by a
final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section
5.                                          REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce Lenders to enter into this
Agreement and to make the Loans, to induce Issuing Lenders to issue Letters of
Credit and to induce Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein, each
of Company and Holdings represents and warrants to each Lender:

5.1                               Organization, Powers, Qualification, Good
Standing, Business and Subsidiaries.

A.                                    Organization and Powers.  Each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries is a
corporation, partnership or limited liability company duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization as specified in Schedule 5.1 annexed hereto.  Each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries has all
requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on
its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, to enter into
the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions
contemplated thereby.

B.                                    Qualification and Good Standing.  Each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries is
qualified to do business and in good standing in every jurisdiction where its
assets are located and wherever necessary to carry out its business and
operations, except in jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or in
good standing has not had and could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

C.                                    Conduct of Business.  Holdings and its Subsidiaries are engaged
only in the businesses permitted to be engaged in pursuant to
subsection 7.9.

D.                                    Subsidiaries.  All of the Subsidiaries of Holdings and their
jurisdictions of organization are identified in Schedule 5.1
annexed hereto, as said Schedule 5.1 may be supplemented from time to
time pursuant to the provisions of subsection 6.1(xiii).  The Capital Stock of each of the Subsidiaries
of Holdings identified in Schedule 5.1 annexed hereto (as so
supplemented) is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and none of such Capital Stock constitutes Margin Stock.  Each of the Subsidiaries of Holdings
identified in Schedule 5.1 annexed hereto (as so supplemented) is a
corporation, partnership or limited liability company duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of
organization set forth therein, has all requisite power and authority to own
and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted, and is qualified to do business and in good standing
in every jurisdiction where its assets are located and wherever necessary to
carry out its business and operations, in each case

 66
 

 

except where failure to
be so qualified or in good standing or a lack of such power and authority has
not had and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.  Schedule 5.1 annexed
hereto (as so supplemented) correctly sets forth the ownership interest of
Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries in each of the Subsidiaries of Holdings
identified therein.

5.2                               Authorization of Borrowing, etc.

A.                                    Authorization of Borrowing.  The execution, delivery and performance of
the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the
part of each Loan Party that is a party thereto.

B.                                    No Conflict.  The execution, delivery and performance by
Loan Parties of the Loan Documents to which they are parties and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents do not and
will not (i) violate any provision of any law or any governmental rule or
regulation applicable to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, the
Organizational Documents of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or any order,
judgment or decree of any court or other Government Authority binding on
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) conflict with, result in a
breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default
under any Contractual Obligation of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries,
(iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any
of the properties or assets of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (other than
any Liens created under any of the Loan Documents in favor of the
Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders), or (iv) require any approval
of stockholders or any approval or consent of any Person under any Contractual
Obligation of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, except for such approvals or
consents which will be obtained on or before the Restatement Date and disclosed
in writing to Lenders and except, in each case, to the extent such violation,
conflict, Lien or failure to obtain such approval or consent could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

C.                                    Governmental Consents.  The execution, delivery and performance by
Loan Parties of the Loan Documents to which they are parties and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents do not and
will not require any Governmental Authorization, except as have been obtained.

D.                                    Binding Obligation.  Each of the Loan Documents has been duly
executed and delivered by each Person that is a party thereto and is the
legally valid and binding obligation of such Person, enforceable against such
Loan Party in accordance with its respective terms, except as may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to
or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to
enforceability.

E.                                      Valid
Issuance of Holdings Common Stock. 
The Holdings Common Stock sold before the Restatement Date was duly and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Material Adverse Change; No Restricted Junior Payments.

Since December 31, 2003, no event or change has
occurred that has resulted in or evidences, either in any case or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has directly or indirectly
declared, ordered, paid or made, or set apart any sum or property for, any
Restricted Junior Payment or agreed to do so except as permitted by subsection
7.4.

5.4                               Title to Properties; Liens; Real Property;
Intellectual Property.

Company and all other Subsidiaries of Holdings have
(i) good, sufficient and legal title to (in the case of fee interests in real
property), (ii) valid leasehold interests in (in the case of leasehold
interests in real or personal property), or (iii) good title to (in the case of
all other personal property), all of their respective properties and assets
reflected in the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to
subsection 6.1, in each case except for assets disposed of since the date of
such financial statements in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise
permitted under subsection 7.6.  Except
as permitted by this Agreement, all such properties and assets are free and
clear of Liens.

5.5                               Litigation; Adverse Facts.

There are no Proceedings (whether or not purportedly
on behalf of Holdings, Company or any of its Subsidiaries) at law or in equity,
or before or by any court or other Government Authority (including any
Environmental Claims) that are pending or, to the knowledge of Company,
threatened against or affecting any Loan Party or any property of any Loan
Party and that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
Neither Holdings nor Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) is in
violation of any applicable laws (including Environmental Laws) that,
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) is subject to or in default with respect
to any final judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees, rules or regulations of
any court or other Government Authority that, individually or in the aggregate,
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

5.6                               Payment of Taxes.

Except to the extent permitted by subsection 6.3, all
material tax returns and reports of Holdings and its Subsidiaries required to
be filed by any of them have been timely filed, and all taxes shown on such tax
returns to be due and payable and all assessments, fees and other governmental
charges upon Holdings and its Subsidiaries and upon their respective
properties, assets, income, businesses and franchises that are due and payable
have been paid when due and payable (subject to valid extensions).  Company knows of no proposed tax assessment
against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that is not being actively
contested by Holdings or such Subsidiary in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings; provided that such reserves or other appropriate
provisions, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have
been made or provided therefor and in the case of a Lien with respect to any
portion of the Collateral, such contest proceedings operate to stay the sale of
any portion of the Collateral on account of such Lien.

5.7                               Performance of Agreements; Material Contracts.

A.                                    Neither
Holdings nor Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the
performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or
conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations, and no condition
exists that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would
constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct or indirect,
of such default or defaults, if any, could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.

B.                                    Neither
Holdings nor Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or is otherwise
subject to any charter or other internal restrictions which, individually or in
the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

5.8                               Governmental Regulation.

Neither
Holdings nor Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under
the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act or the Investment Company
Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may
limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or
any portion of the Obligations unenforceable.

5.9                               Securities Activities.

A.                                    Neither
Holdings nor Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as
one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.

B.                                    Following

assets (either of Company only or of Company and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis) subject to the provisions of subsection 7.2 or 7.6 or
subject to any restriction contained in any agreement or instrument, between
Company and any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender, relating to Indebtedness
and within the scope of subsection 8.2, will be Margin Stock.

5.10                        Employee Benefit Plans.

A.                                    Company,
each of its Subsidiaries and, solely for purposes of Section 4980B of the
Internal Revenue Code and Title IV of ERISA, each of their respective ERISA
Affiliates are in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of
ERISA or applicable Law and the regulations and published interpretations
thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all
their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan, except as would not
reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended
to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a
favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating
that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred
subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would reasonably
be expected to cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status.

 69
 

 

B.                                    No
ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur which would result
in a liability in excess of $1,000,000 or is
reasonably likely to result in a Lien.

C.                                    Except
to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or
otherwise required by law, no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare
benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or
former employee of Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
ERISA Affiliates the liability for which would cause a Material Adverse Effect.

D.                                    As
of the most recent valuation date for any Pension Plan, the amount of unfunded
benefit liabilities (as defined in Section 4001(a)(18) of ERISA), individually
or in the aggregate for all Pension Plans (determined based on assumptions used
for purposes of GAAP) excluding for purposes of such computation any Pension
Plans with respect to which assets exceed benefit liabilities), does not exceed
an amount which, if payable, could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

5.11                        Certain Fees.

No broker’s or finder’s fee or commission will be
payable with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby, and Company hereby indemnifies Lenders against, and agrees that it will
hold Lenders harmless from, any claim, demand or liability for any such broker’s
or finder’s fees alleged to have been incurred in connection herewith or
therewith and any expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and
disbursements of counsel) arising in connection with any such claim, demand or
liability.

5.12                        Environmental Protection.

Except for such
exceptions as individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect:

(i)                                     neither
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Facilities or
operations are subject to any outstanding written order, consent decree or
settlement agreement with any Person relating to (a) any Environmental
Law, (b) any Environmental Claim, or (c) any Hazardous Materials Activity;

(ii)                                  neither
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any letter or request for
information under Section 104 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9604) or any comparable state
law;

(iii)                               there
are and, to Company’s knowledge, have been no conditions, occurrences, or
Hazardous Materials Activities that could reasonably be expected to form the
basis of an Environmental Claim against Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and

(iv)                              Company
and all other Subsidiaries of Holdings have been and are in compliance with all
current or reasonably foreseeable future requirements pursuant to or under
Environmental Laws, except where any non-compliance would not, individually or
in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

 70
 

 

5.13                        Employee Matters.

There is no strike or work stoppage in existence or
threatened involving Company or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

5.14                        Solvency.

Holdings and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis,
and Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis are and, upon the
incurrence of any Obligations on any date on which this representation is made,
will be, Solvent.

5.15                        Matters Relating to Collateral.

A.                                    Creation, Perfection and Priority of Liens.  The execution and delivery of the Collateral
Documents by Loan Parties, together with (i) the actions taken to date pursuant
to subsection 4.1 of the Original Credit Agreement, and subsections 6.8 and 6.9
thereof and hereof and (ii) the delivery to Administrative Agent of any Pledged
Collateral not delivered to Administrative Agent at the time of execution and
delivery of the applicable Collateral Document (all of which Pledged Collateral
has been so delivered) are effective to create in favor of Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, as security for the Obligations, a valid
First Priority Lien on all of the Collateral (except as provided to the contrary
in the Security Agreement), and all filings and other actions necessary or
desirable to perfect and maintain the perfection and priority status of such
Liens have been duly made or taken and remain in full force and effect, other
than the filing of any UCC financing statements delivered to Administrative
Agent for filing (but not yet filed) and the periodic filing of UCC
continuation statements in respect of UCC financing statements filed by or on
behalf of Administrative Agent.

B.                                    Governmental Authorizations.  No authorization, approval or other action
by, and no notice to or filing with, any Government Authority is required for
either (i) the pledge or grant by any Loan Party of the Liens purported to
be created in favor of Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Collateral
Documents or (ii) the exercise by Administrative Agent of any rights or
remedies in respect of any Collateral (whether specifically granted or created
pursuant to any of the Collateral Documents or created or provided for by applicable
law), except for filings or recordings contemplated by subsection 5.15A and
except as may be required, in connection with the disposition of any Pledged
Collateral, by laws generally affecting the offering and sale of securities.

C.                                    Absence of Third-Party Filings.  Except for filings perfecting Liens permitted
under subsection 7.2A and filings naming Administrative Agent as secured party,
in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (i) no
effective UCC financing statement, fixture filing or other instrument similar
in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any filing
or recording office and (ii) no effective filing covering all or any part of
the IP Collateral is on file in any IP Filing Office.

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

 71

 

5.16                        Disclosure.

No representation or warranty of any Loan Party
contained in the Confidential Information Memorandum (as of the date such
Confidential Information Memorandum was delivered to Administrative Agent), in
any Loan Document or in any other document, certificate or written statement
furnished to Lenders by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact (known to Company, in the case of any document not furnished by
it) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made.  Any projections and pro forma financial information contained
in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed
by Company to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by Lenders
that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and
that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such
projections may differ from the projected results.  There are no facts known (or which should
upon the reasonable exercise of diligence be known) to Company (other than matters
of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not
been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements
furnished to Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby.

by such an amount but the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall not be reduced
(and any Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds in excess of the Revolving Loans
shall be delivered to Company), if Company delivers to Administrative Agent an
Officer’s Certificate setting forth (A) that portion of such Net
Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds (the “Proposed Insurance
Reinvestment Proceeds”) that Holdings or such Subsidiary intends to

Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds were received and (B) the proposed use of the

participate in any such discussion), and (ii) any authorized representatives
designated by Administrative Agent to conduct one audit or appraisal of all
Collateral of Loan Parties during each Fiscal Year ending after the Restatement

A.            Prohibition on Liens. 
Each of Holdings and Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit to
exist any Lien on or with respect to any property or asset of any kind
(including any document or instrument in respect of goods or accounts
receivable) of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom, or file or permit the
filing of, or permit to remain in effect, any financing statement or other
similar notice of any Lien with respect to any such property, asset, income or
profits under the UCC or under any similar recording or notice statute, except:

(i)            Permitted Encumbrances;

annexed hereto;

(iii)          Liens securing Indebtedness incurred

$12,000,000 in Fiscal Year 2007, $16,000,000 in Fiscal Year 2008 and

owned or hereafter acquired, other than Liens excepted by the provisions of
subsection 7.2A, it

 86
 

 

shall make or cause to be
made effective provision whereby the Obligations will be secured by such Lien
equally and ratably with any and all other Indebtedness secured thereby as long
as any such Indebtedness shall be so secured; provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, this covenant shall not be construed as a
consent by Requisite Lenders to the creation or assumption of any such Lien not
permitted by the provisions of subsection 7.2A.

C.            No Further Negative Pledges.  Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries
shall enter into any agreement (other than the Loan Documents) prohibiting the
creation or assumption of any Lien upon any of its properties or assets,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except with respect to (i)
restrictions by reason of customary provisions restricting assignment,
subletting or other transfers contained in leases, licenses and similar
agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business (provided
that such restrictions are limited to the property or assets secured by such
Liens or the property or assets subject to such leases, licenses or similar
agreements, as the case may be), (ii) purchase money Indebtedness and Capital
Leases permitted to be incurred under this subsection, Permitted Encumbrances described in
clause (iii) of such defined term or Liens permitted under subsection 7.2A(ii) and
restrictions in the agreements relating thereto that limit the right of the
Company to dispose of or transfer the assets subject to such Liens, (iii)
restrictions imposed by customary provisions in partnership agreements, limited
liability company organizational governance documents, joint venture agreements
and other similar agreements that restrict the transfer of ownership interests
in such partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or similar
Person, (iv) specific property encumbered to secure payment of particular
Indebtedness or to be sold pursuant to an executed agreement with respect to a
permitted Asset Sale and other permitted sales of assets, (v) restrictions
contained in agreements with respect to Indebtedness incurred by any Foreign
Subsidiary in accordance with this Agreement; provided that such
restrictions are limited to the property or assets of such Foreign Subsidiary,
and (vi) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or
property in joint venture agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale
agreements and other similar agreements, which limitation is applicable only to
the assets that are the subject of such agreements.

D.            No Restrictions on Subsidiary Distributions to Company or Other
Subsidiaries.  Except
as provided in the Loan Documents, each of Holdings and Company will not, and
will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create or otherwise cause or suffer
to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any
kind on the ability of any such Subsidiary to (i) pay dividends or make any
other distributions on any of such Subsidiary’s Capital Stock owned by Holdings
or any other Subsidiary of Holdings, (ii) repay or prepay any Indebtedness
owed by such Subsidiary to Holdings or any other Subsidiary of Holdings, (iii)

permitted Asset Sale and other permitted sales of assets, (c) by
reason of customary provisions restricting assignments, subletting or other
transfers contained in leases, licenses, joint venture agreements and similar
agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business (provided that such

licenses, joint venture agreements or similar agreements, as the case may be),
(d) that are or were created by virtue of any transfer of, agreement to
transfer or option or

 87

assets or Capital Stock not otherwise prohibited under this Agreement, (e) in
any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by Holdings or any of
its Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the
extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in
contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not
applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than
the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided

not any beneficiary under any such Letter of Credit shall have presented, or
shall be entitled at such time to present, the drafts or other documents or
certificates required to draw under such Letter of Credit), and (c) all
other Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable,
without presentment, demand, protest or other requirements of any kind, all of
which are hereby expressly waived by Company, and the obligation of each Lender
to make any Loan, the obligation of Administrative Agent to issue any Letter of
Credit and the right of any Lender to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder
shall thereupon terminate, and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of any other Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall, upon
the written request or with the written consent of Requisite Lenders, by

in clauses (a) through (c) above to be, and the same shall forthwith become,
immediately due and payable, and the obligation of each Lender to make any
Loan, the obligation of Administrative Agent to issue any Letter of Credit and
the right of any Lender to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder shall thereupon
terminate; provided that the foregoing shall not affect in any way the
obligations of Revolving Lenders under subsection 3.3C(i) or the obligations of
Revolving Lenders to purchase assignments of any unpaid Swing Line Loans as
provided in subsection 2.1A(iii).

Any amounts described in
clause (b) above, when received by Administrative Agent, shall be held by

 97
 

 

extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in
this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Potential Events of Default
(other than non-payment of the principal of and accrued interest on the Loans,
in each case which is due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall
be remedied or waived pursuant to subsection 10.6, then Requisite Lenders, by
written notice to Company, may at their option rescind and annul such
acceleration and its consequences; but such action shall not affect any
subsequent Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.  The provisions of
this paragraph are intended merely to bind Lenders to a decision which may be
made at the election of Requisite Lenders and are not intended, directly or
indirectly, to benefit Company, and such provisions shall not at any time be
construed so as to grant Company the right to require Lenders to rescind or
annul any acceleration hereunder or to preclude Administrative Agent or Lenders
from exercising any of the rights or remedies available to them under any of
the Loan Documents, even if the conditions set forth in this paragraph are met.

Section
9.                                          ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT

9.1                               Appointment.

A.                                    Appointment
of Administrative Agent.  BNP
Paribas is hereby appointed Administrative Agent hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents.  Each Lender hereby
authorizes Administrative Agent to act as Administrative Agent in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Administrative Agent agrees to act upon the
express conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as
applicable.  The provisions of this
Section 9 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders
and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the
provisions thereof.  In performing its
functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative Agent (other than as
provided in subsection 2.1D) shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does
not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or
relationship of agency or trust with or for Company or any other Loan Party.

B.                                    Appointment
of Supplemental Collateral Agents. 
It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that
there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or
restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact
business as Administrative Agent or trustee in such jurisdiction.  It is recognized that in case of litigation
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in
case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case Administrative
Agent deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it
may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any
of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or
necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that Administrative
Agent appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate trustee,
co-trustee, collateral agent or collateral co-agent (any such additional
individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Collateral Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Collateral Agents”).

In the event that
Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Collateral Agent with respect to
any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or
intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised
by or vested in

 98
 

 

or conveyed to
Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by
and vest in such Supplemental Collateral Agent to the extent, and only to the
extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Collateral Agent to exercise such
rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform
such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation
contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance
thereof by such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall run to and be enforceable
by Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and (ii) the
provisions of this Section 9 and of subsections 10.2 and 10.3 that refer to
Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Collateral
Agent and all references therein to Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be
references to Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, as
the context may require.

Should any instrument in
writing from Company or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental
Collateral Agent so appointed by Administrative Agent for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers,
privileges and duties, Company shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to,
execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon
request by Administrative Agent.  In case
any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by
law, shall vest in and be exercised by Administrative Agent until the appointment
of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent.

C.                                    Control.   Each Lender and Administrative Agent hereby appoint
each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Administrative Agent’s
security interest in assets that, in accordance with the UCC, can be perfected
by possession or control.

9.2                               Powers and Duties; General Immunity.

A.                                    Powers; Duties Specified.  Each Lender irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to
exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to Administrative Agent by
the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as
are reasonably incidental thereto. 
Administrative Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities
that are expressly specified in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.  Administrative Agent may
exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through
its agents or employees.  Administrative
Agent shall not have, by reason of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or Company; and
nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or
implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon
Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.  Administrative Agent is further authorized by
the Lenders to enter into agreements supplemental hereto with any Loan Party
for the purpose of curing any formal defect, inconsistency, omission or
ambiguity in this Agreement or any Loan Document to which it is a party
(without any consent or approval by the Lenders).

B.                                    No Responsibility for Certain Matters.  Administrative Agent shall not be responsible
to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity,

 99
 

 

enforceability,
collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or
therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other
statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents
furnished or made by Administrative Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of
Sponsors, Holdings, Company or any of their Subsidiaries to Administrative
Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of
Sponsors, Holdings, Company or any of their Subsidiaries or any other Person
liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall Administrative Agent be
required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of
the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of
the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of
the Letters of Credit or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event
of Default or Potential Event of Default. 
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
Administrative Agent shall have no liability arising from confirmations of the
amount of outstanding Loans or the Letter of Credit Usage or the component
amounts thereof.

C.                                    Exculpatory Provisions.  Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its
officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any
action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under or in connection with any
of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by Administrative Agent’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the
taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection
with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of
any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless
and until Administrative Agent shall have received instructions in respect
thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to
give such instructions under subsection 10.6) and, upon receipt of such
instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may
be), Administrative Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed)
refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in
accordance with such instructions; provided that Administrative Agent
shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of
its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary
to any Loan Document or applicable law. 
Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing,
(i) Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any communication (including any electronic message,
Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution), instrument or
document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or
sent by the proper person or persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall
be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be
attorneys for Holdings, Company and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and
other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have
any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of
Administrative Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the
instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to
give such instructions under subsection 10.6).

D.                                    Administrative Agent Entitled to Act as
Lender.  The agency hereby
created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose
any duties or obligations upon, Administrative Agent in its individual capacity
as a Lender hereunder.  With respect to
its participation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, Administrative Agent
shall

 100
 

 

have the same
rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it
hereunder, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” or any similar term shall, unless
the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its
individual capacity.  Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire
equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of commercial banking,
investment banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Company or
any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein,
and may accept fees and other consideration from Company for services in
connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the
same to Lenders.

9.3                               Independent Investigation by Lenders; No
Responsibility For Appraisal of Creditworthiness.

Each Lender agrees that
it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and
affairs of Holdings, Company and their Subsidiaries in connection with the
making of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder and that it
has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness
of Holdings, Company and its Subsidiaries. Administrative Agent shall have no
duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any
such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any
Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether
coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or
times thereafter, Administrative shall have no responsibility with respect to
the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.

 

9.4                               Right to Indemnity.

Each Lender, in
proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify Administrative
Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, professional
advisors and Affiliates to the extent that any such Person shall not have been
reimbursed by Company, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
(including counsel fees and disbursements and fees and disbursements of any
financial advisor engaged by Administrative Agent) or disbursements of any kind
or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
Administrative Agent or such other Person in exercising the powers, rights and
remedies of Administrative Agent or performing duties of Administrative Agent
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as
Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for
any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of Administrative
Agent resulting solely from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction.  If any indemnity furnished
to Administrative Agent or any other such Person for any purpose shall, in the
opinion of Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired,
Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not
commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is
furnished.

 101
 

 

9.5                               Resignation
of Administrative Agent; Successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender.

A.                                    Resignation;
Successor Administrative Agent. 
Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior
written notice thereof to Lenders and Company. 
Upon any such notice of resignation by Administrative Agent, Requisite
Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to Company, to
appoint a successor Administrative Agent. 
If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Requisite Lenders
and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative
Agent gives notice of its resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent may,
on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent.  If such Administrative Agent shall notify
Lenders and Company that no Person has accepted such appointment as successor
Administrative Agent, such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with  Administrative Agent’s
notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, except that any Collateral
held by Administrative Agent will continue to be held by it until a Person
shall have accepted the appointment of successor Administrative Agent, and
(ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made
by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by, to or through
each Lender directly, until such time as Requisite Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent in accordance with this subsection 9.5A.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that
successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested
with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations under this Agreement (if not already discharged
as set forth above).  After any retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

B.                                    Successor Swing Line Lender.  Any resignation of Administrative Agent
pursuant to subsection 9.5A shall also constitute the resignation of
Administrative Agent or its successor as Swing Line Lender, and any successor
Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to subsection 9.5A shall, upon its
acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Swing Line Lender for all
purposes hereunder.  In such event (i) Company
shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by the retiring
Administrative Agent in its capacity as Swing Line Lender, (ii) upon such
prepayment, the retiring Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender shall
surrender any Swing Line Note held by it to Company for cancellation, and
(iii) if so requested by the successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line
Lender in accordance with subsection 2.1E, Company shall issue a new Swing Line
Note to the successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender substantially
in the form of Exhibit VI annexed hereto, in the amount of the Swing
Line Loan Commitment then in effect and with other appropriate insertions.

9.6                               Collateral Documents and Guaranties.

Each Lender (which term
shall include, for purposes of this subsection 9.6, any Lender in its capacity
as a counterparty to a Hedge Agreement with Company or one of its Subsidiaries)
hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the
benefit of

 102
 

 

Lenders, to enter
into each Collateral Document as secured party and to be the agent for and
representative of Lenders under each Guaranty, and each Lender agrees to be
bound by the terms of each Collateral Document, the Intercreditor Agreement,
the Holdings Subordination Agreement and each Guaranty; provided that
Administrative Agent shall not (i) enter into or consent to any material
amendment, modification, termination or waiver of or departure from any
provision contained in any Collateral Document, the Intercreditor Agreement,
the Holdings Subordination Agreement or the Guaranties or (ii) release any
Collateral (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement or the applicable Collateral Document), in each case
without the prior written consent of Requisite Lenders (or, if required
pursuant to subsection 10.6, all Lenders); provided  further, however,
that, without further written consent or authorization from Lenders,
Administrative Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to
(a) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the
subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or
to which Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented, (b) release any
Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty if all of the Capital Stock
of such Subsidiary Guarantor is sold to any Person (other than an Affiliate of
Company) pursuant to a sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or to
which Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented or (c) subordinate the
Liens of  Administrative Agent, on behalf
of Lenders, to any Liens permitted by subsection 7.2; provided that, in
the case of a sale of such item of Collateral or stock referred to in
subdivision (a) or (b), the requirements of subsection 10.14 are satisfied.  Anything contained in any of the Loan
Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Company, Administrative Agent and
each Lender hereby agree that (1) no Lender shall have any right individually
to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Collateral Document or to
enforce any Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights
and remedies under the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and
the Guaranties may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent for the benefit
of Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof, and (2) in the event of a
foreclosure by Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a
public or private sale, Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser
of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and Administrative Agent, as
agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its
or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall
otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and
making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of
the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the
Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral
payable by Administrative Agent at such sale.

Without derogating from
any other authority granted to Administrative Agent herein or in the Collateral
Documents or any other document relating thereto, each Lender hereby
specifically (i) authorizes Administrative Agent to enter into pledge
agreements pursuant to this subsection 9.6 with respect to the Capital Stock of
all existing and future Foreign Subsidiaries, which pledge agreements may be
governed by the laws of each of the jurisdictions of formation of such Foreign
Subsidiaries, as agent on behalf of each of Lenders, with the effect that
Lenders each become a secured party thereunder or, where relevant as agent and
trustee with the effect that the Lenders each become beneficiaries of the trust
and Administrative Agent has all the rights, powers, discretions, protections
and exemptions from liability set out in the pledge agreements and (ii) except
in connection with any such pledge agreement where Administrative Agent holds
the security as agent and trustee for the Lenders, appoints Administrative
Agent as its attorney-in-fact granting it the powers to execute each such
pledge agreement and any

 103
 

 

registrations of
the security interest thereby created, in each case in its name and on its
behalf, with the effect that each Lender becomes a secured party
thereunder.  With respect to each such
pledge agreement, Administrative Agent has the power to sub-delegate to third
parties its powers as attorney-in-fact of each Lender.

9.7                               Duties
of Other Agents.

To the extent that any
Lender is identified in this Agreement as a co-agent, documentation agent or
syndication agent, such Lender shall not have any right, power, obligation,
liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those
applicable to all Lenders as such. 
Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be
deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender.

9.8                               Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency
of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to
Holdings, Company or any of the Subsidiaries of Holdings or Company,
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then
be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on
Company) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise:

(i)                                     to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Loans and any other Obligations that are owing and
unpaid and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Administrative Agent
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of Lenders and Administrative Agent and their agents and counsel
and all other amounts due Lenders and Administrative Agent under subsections
2.3 and 10.2) allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(ii)                                  to
collect and receive any moneys 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 to make
such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative
Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay
to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due to Administrative Agent under subsections
2.3 and 10.2.

Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of
any Lenders or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the
claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 10.                                   MISCELLANEOUS

10.1                        Successors
and Assigns; Assignments and Participations in Loans and Letters of Credit.

A.                                    General.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders (it
being understood that Lenders’ rights of assignment are subject to the further
provisions of this subsection 10.1). 
Neither Company’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest
therein may be assigned or delegated by Company without the prior written
consent of all Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Company
without such consent shall be null and void). 
No sale, assignment or transfer or participation of any Letter of Credit
or any participation therein may be made separately from a sale, assignment,
transfer or participation of a corresponding interest in the Revolving Loan
Commitment and the Revolving Loans of the Revolving Lender effecting such sale,
assignment, transfer or participation. 
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as
provided in subsection 2.1A(iii) and subsection 10.5, the Swing Line Loan
Commitment and the Swing Line Loans of Swing Line Lender may not be sold,
assigned or transferred as described below to any Person other than a successor
Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender to the extent contemplated by
subsection 9.5.  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 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Affiliates of each of Administrative Agent and Lenders and Indemnitees) any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

B.                                    Assignments.

(i)                                     Amounts
and Terms of Assignments.  Any Lender
may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement; provided that (a), except (1) in
the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or (2) in the case of
an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a
Lender, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Exposure or Term Loan
Exposure, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender and the assignee subject
to each such assignment shall not be less than $2,500,000, in the case of any
assignment of a Revolving Loan, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment of
a Term Loan (or $250,000 in the case of any assignment of a Term Loan by a
Lender or an Approved Fund to a Lender or an Approved Fund that in each case
has, or is affiliated with or managed by a Lender with Affiliates and/or Approved
Funds that collectively have, aggregate Term Loan Exposure of not less than
$1,000,000), unless Administrative Agent otherwise consents (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (b) each partial assignment shall
be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the
Commitment assigned, (c) the parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless the assignee is an Affiliate
or an Approved Fund of the assignor, in which case no fee shall be required and
provided, further, that only one

 105
 

 

recordation fee will be charged where multiple assignments are made by
a single assignor to multiple Approved Funds administered or managed by the
same Person, or by multiple Approved Funds administered or managed by the same
Person to a single assignee), and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a
Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent information reasonably requested
by Administrative Agent, including such forms, certificates or other evidence,
if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as
the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to
Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iii) and (d) except in the
case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund of a Lender, Administrative Agent, and, if no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, Company, shall have consented thereto (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Upon such execution, and delivery
and consent, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment
Agreement, (y) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant
to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender
hereunder and (z) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent
that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such
Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which
survive the termination of this Agreement under subsection 10.9B) and be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease
to be a party hereto; provided that, anything contained in any of the
Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, if such Lender is an Issuing
Lender such Lender shall continue to have all rights and obligations of an
Issuing Lender until the cancellation or expiration of any Letters of Credit
issued by it and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder).  The assigning Lender shall, upon the
effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable,
surrender its Notes, if any, to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and
thereupon new Notes shall, if so requested by the assignee and/or the assigning
Lender in accordance with subsection 2.1E, be issued to the assignee and/or to
the assigning Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit IV, Exhibit
V or Exhibit VI annexed hereto, as the case may be, with appropriate
insertions, to reflect the amounts of the new Commitments and/or outstanding
Revolving Loans and/or outstanding Term Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning
Lender.  Other than as provided in
subsection 2.1A(iii) and subsection 10.5, any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this subsection 10.1B 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 subsection 10.1C.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of an assignment to an Eligible Assignee which is, immediately
prior to such assignment, an Affiliate of the assigning Lender or an Approved
Fund of the assigning Lender, such assignment shall be effective between such
assigning Lender and its Affiliate or Approved Fund (as the case may be)
immediately without compliance with the conditions for assignment under this
subsection 10.1B, but shall not be effective with respect to Company,
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender, and Company,
Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender shall be entitled

 106
 

 

to deal solely and
directly with such assigning Lender under any such assignment, in each case,
until the conditions for assignment under this subsection 10.1B have been
complied with.

(ii)                                  Acceptance
by Administrative Agent; Recordation in Register.  Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an
Eligible Assignee, together with the processing and recordation fee referred to
in subsection 10.1B(i) (if required) and any forms, certificates or other evidence
with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters that such
assignee may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to
subsection 2.7B(iii), Administrative Agent shall, if Administrative Agent and
Company have consented to the assignment evidenced thereby (in each case to the
extent such consent is required pursuant to subsection 10.1B(i)),
(a) accept such Assignment Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof as
provided therein (which acceptance shall evidence any required consent of
Administrative Agent to such assignment), (b) record the information
contained therein in the Register, and (c) give prompt notice thereof to
Company.  Administrative Agent shall
maintain a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it as
provided in this subsection 10.1B(ii).

(iii)                               Deemed Consent by
Company.  If the consent of Company
to an assignment or to an Eligible Assignee is required hereunder (including a
consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment thresholds
specified in subsection 10.1B(i)), Company shall be deemed to have given its
consent five Business Days after the date notice thereof has been delivered by
the assigning Lender (through Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly
refused by Company prior to such fifth Business Day.

C.                                    Participations.  Any Lender may, without the consent of, or
notice to, Company or Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more
Persons (other than a natural Person or Company or any of its Affiliates) in
all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this
Agreement; provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (iii) Company, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement. 
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or
instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver directly affecting
(i) the extension of the scheduled final maturity date of any Loan allocated
to such participation or (ii) a reduction of the principal amount of or
the rate of interest payable on any Loan allocated to such participation.  Subject to the further provisions of this
subsection 10.1C, Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of subsections 2.6D and 2.7 to the same extent as if it were a Lender
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection 10.1B.  To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 10.4 as though
it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to subsection
10.5 as though it were a Lender.  A
Participant

 107
 

 

shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under subsections 2.6D and 2.7 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 Company’s prior written consent.  A Participant that would be a Non-US Lender
if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of subsection 2.7
unless Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and
such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Company, to comply with subsection
2.7B(iii) as though it were a Lender.

D.                                    Pledges
and Assignments.  Any Lender may at
any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its
Loans, and the other Obligations owed to such Lender, to secure obligations of
such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank; provided that (i) no
Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any
such assignment or pledge and (ii) in no event shall any assignee or
pledgee be considered to be a “Lender” or be
entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action
hereunder.

E.                                      Information.  Each Lender may furnish any information
concerning Holdings, Company and their Subsidiaries in the possession of that
Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective
assignees and participants), subject to subsection 10.19.

F.                                      Agreements
of Lenders.  Each Lender listed on
the signature pages hereof hereby agrees, and each Lender that becomes a party
hereto pursuant to an Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to agree, (i) that
it is an Eligible Assignee described in clause (A) of the definition thereof;
(ii) that it has experience and expertise in the making of or purchasing loans
such as the Loans; and (iii) that it will make or purchase Loans for its own
account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to
distribution of such Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that,
subject to the provisions of this subsection 10.1, the disposition of such
Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive
control).

10.2                        Expenses.

Whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Company agrees to pay
promptly (i) all reasonable costs and expenses of negotiation, preparation
and execution of the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or
other modifications thereto; (ii) all costs and expenses of furnishing all
opinions by counsel for Company (including any opinions requested by
Administrative Agent or Lenders as to any legal matters arising hereunder) and
of Company’s performance of and compliance with all agreements and conditions
on its part to be performed or complied with under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents including with respect to confirming compliance with
environmental, insurance and solvency requirements; (iii) all reasonable
fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to Administrative Agent (including
allocated costs of internal counsel) in connection with the negotiation,
preparation, execution and administration of the Loan Documents and any
consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and any other
documents or matters requested by Company; (iv) all costs and expenses of
creating and perfecting Liens in favor of Administrative Agent on behalf of
Lenders pursuant to any

 108
 

 

Collateral Document, including filing and recording fees, expenses and
taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, title insurance premiums, and
reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to Administrative Agent
and of counsel providing any opinions that Administrative Agent or Requisite
Lenders may request in respect of the Collateral Documents or the Liens created
pursuant thereto; (v) all costs and expenses (including the reasonable
fees, expenses and disbursements of any auditors, accountants or appraisers and
any environmental or other consultants, advisors and agents employed or
retained by Administrative Agent or its counsel) of obtaining and reviewing any
appraisals provided for under this Agreement and any environmental audits or
reports provided for under this Agreement; (vi) all costs and expenses
incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the custody or preservation
of any of the Collateral; (vii) all other costs and expenses incurred by
Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication of the Commitments;
(viii) all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including
allocated costs of internal counsel) and fees, costs and expenses of
accountants, advisors and consultants, incurred by Administrative Agent and its
counsel relating to efforts to (a) evaluate or assess any Loan Party, its
business or financial condition and (b) protect, evaluate, assess or dispose of
any of the Collateral; and (ix) all costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel), fees, costs
and expenses of accountants, advisors and consultants and costs of settlement,
incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of or
in collecting any payments due from any Loan Party hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents (including in connection with the sale of, collection from, or
other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Loan
Documents) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit
arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or
pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings.

10.3                        Indemnity.

In addition to the
payment of expenses pursuant to subsection 10.2, whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Company agrees to defend
(subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold
harmless Administrative Agent and Lenders (including Issuing Lenders), and the
officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents, advisors and Affiliates of
Administrative Agent and Lenders (collectively called the “Indemnitees”),
from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); provided
that Company shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with
respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified
Liabilities arise solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
that Indemnitee as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction.

As used herein, “Indemnified Liabilities” means, collectively, any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (including natural resource damages),
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims (including Environmental Claims),
costs (including the costs of any investigation, study, sampling, testing,
abatement, cleanup, removal, remediation or other response action necessary to
remove, remediate, clean up or abate any Hazardous Materials Activity),
expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Indemnitees (including
allocated costs of internal counsel) in connection with any investigative,
administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened by any Person,
whether or not any such Indemnitee shall be designated

 109
 

 

as a party or a
potential party thereto and including any such proceeding initiated by or on
behalf of a Loan Party, and any fees or expenses incurred by Indemnitees in
enforcing this indemnity), whether direct, indirect or consequential and
whether based on any federal, state or foreign laws, statutes, rules or
regulations (including securities and commercial laws, statutes, rules or
regulations and Environmental Laws), on common law or equitable cause or on
contract or otherwise, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against
any such Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby (including Lenders’ agreement to make the Loans hereunder or the use
or intended use of the proceeds thereof or the issuance of Letters of Credit
hereunder or the use or intended use of any thereof, the failure of an Issuing
Lender to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or
omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de
facto Government Authority, or any enforcement of any of the Loan Documents
(including any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the
Collateral or the enforcement of the Guaranties)), (ii) the statements
contained in the commitment letter delivered by any Lender to Company with
respect thereto,  or (iii) any
Environmental Claim or any Hazardous Materials Activity relating to or arising
from, directly or indirectly, any past or present activity, operation, land
ownership, or practice of Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

To the extent that the
undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this
subsection 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are
violative of any law or public policy, Company shall contribute the maximum
portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the
payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees
or any of them.

10.4                        Set-Off.

In addition to any rights
now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of
any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event
of Default and consultation with Administrative Agent, each of Lenders and
their Affiliates is hereby authorized by Company at any time or from time to
time, without notice to Company or to any other Person, any such notice being
hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, including
Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or
unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any
time held or owing by that Lender or any Affiliate of that Lender to or for the
credit or the account of Company and each other Loan Party against and on
account of the Obligations of Company or any other Loan Party to that Lender
(or any Affiliate of that Lender) or to any other Lender (or any Affiliate of
any other Lender) under this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and
participations therein and the other Loan Documents, including all claims of
any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement, the
Letters of Credit and participations therein or any other Loan Document,
irrespective of whether or not (i) that Lender shall have made any demand
hereunder or (ii) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts
in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder shall
have become due and payable pursuant to Section 8 and although said
obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.

 110
 

 

10.5                        Ratable
Sharing.

Lenders hereby agree
among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary or mandatory
payment (other than a payment or prepayment of Loans made and applied in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement), by realization upon security,
through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim
or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents
(including any bid or purchase at public or private sale) or otherwise, or as
adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the
Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate
amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit,
fees and other amounts then due and owing to that Lender hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due”
to such Lender) that is greater than the proportion received by any other
Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the
Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall, unless such
proportionately greater payment is required by the terms of this Agreement,
(i) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of
such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase
assignments (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of an
assignment simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of
such payment) of the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all
such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in
proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that (A) if
all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing
Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or
reorganization of Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and
the purchase prices paid for such assignments shall be returned to such
purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest
and (B) the foregoing provisions shall not apply to (1) any payment made by Company
pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (2)
any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment (other
than an assignment pursuant to this subsection 10.5) of or the sale of a
participation in any of its Obligations to any Eligible Assignee or Participant
pursuant to subsection 10.1B.  Company
expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any purchaser
of an assignment so purchased may exercise any and all rights of a Lender as to
such assignment as fully as if that Lender had complied with the provisions of
subsection 10.1B with respect to such assignment.  In order to further evidence such assignment
(and without prejudice to the effectiveness of the assignment provisions set
forth above), each purchasing Lender and each selling Lender agree to enter
into an Assignment Agreement at the request of a selling Lender or a purchasing
Lender, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
each such Lender.

10.6                        Amendments
and Waivers.

A.                                    No
amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or of the Notes or any other Loan Documents (other than Hedge
Agreements), and no consent to any departure by Loan Party or any other Person
therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the prior written
concurrence of Requisite Lenders; provided that any such amendment,
modification, termination, waiver or consent which:

(a)                                  extends
the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note, or extends the stated
maturity of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Loan

 111
 

 

Commitment Termination Date, or reduces the rate or extends the time of
payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of
applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduces the
principal amount thereof (except to the extent repaid in cash) shall not be
effective without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby; or

(b)                                 (i)
releases all or substantially all of (x) the Collateral (except as expressly
provided in the Loan Documents) under all the Collateral Documents, or (y) the
Loan Parties (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) from their
obligations under any of the Guaranties; (ii) amends, modifies or waives any
provision of this subsection 10.6; (iii) reduces the percentage specified in
the definition of “Requisite Lenders”
or “Requisite Class Lenders” (it being
understood that, with the consent of Requisite Lenders, additional extensions
of credit (within an existing Class or a new Class) pursuant to this Agreement
may be included in the determination of Requisite Lenders and Requisite Class
Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Term Loans and
Revolving Loan Commitments are included on the Restatement Date); and (iv)
consents to the assignment or transfer by Company of any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective
only if evidenced in a prior writing signed by or on behalf of all Lenders.

In addition, (i) no
amendment, modification, termination or waiver which shall increase the
Commitment of any Lender over the amount then in effect or postpone the
scheduled date of expiration of the Commitment of any Lender shall be effective
without the prior written consent of such Lender (it being understood that,
waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Potential Events
of Default or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitments
shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender and that an
increase in the available portion of the Commitment of any Lender shall not
constitute an increase in the Commitment of such Lender), (ii) no amendment,
modification, termination or waiver of any provision of subsection 2.1A(iii) or
of any other provision of this Agreement relating to the Swing Line Loan
Commitment or the Swing Line Loans shall be effective without the written
concurrence of Swing Line Lender, (iii) no amendment, modification, termination
or waiver of any provision of Section 9 or of any other provision of this
Agreement which, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence
of Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written concurrence of
Administrative Agent, (iv) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of
any provision of subsection 2.4 which has the effect of changing any interim
scheduled payments, voluntary or mandatory prepayments, or Commitment
reductions applicable to a Class in a manner that disproportionately
disadvantages such Class relative to any other Class shall be effective without
the written concurrence of Requisite Class Lenders of such affected Class; provided
that any change to the stated amount or specified date of scheduled amortization
payments set forth in subsection 2.4A shall not be effective without the
written concurrence of all Lenders of such affected Class (it being understood
and agreed that any amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any such
provision which only postpones or reduces any interim scheduled payment,
voluntary or mandatory prepayment, or Commitment reduction from those set forth
in subsection 2.4 with respect to one Class but not the other Class shall be
deemed to disproportionately disadvantage such one Class but not to
disproportionately disadvantage any such other Class for

 112
 

 

purposes of this
clause (iv)), and (v) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any
provision of Section 3 or other provisions in this Agreement relating to
Letters of Credit or Issuing Lender shall be effective without the written
concurrence of Issuing Lender which has a Letter of Credit then outstanding or
which has not been reimbursed for a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by
it.

B.                                    Administrative
Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender,
execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that
Lender.  Any waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
it was given.  No notice to or demand on
Company in any case shall entitle Company to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances. 
Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in
accordance with this subsection 10.6 shall be binding upon each Lender at
the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by Company, on Company.

10.7                        Independence
of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder
shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition
is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted
by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another
covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default or Potential
Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

10.8                        Notices;
Effectiveness of Signatures.

Unless otherwise
specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required
or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, or
sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be
deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon
receipt of telefacsimile in complete and legible form, or three Business Days
after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly
addressed; provided that notices to Administrative Agent, Swing Line
Lender and any Issuing Lender shall not be effective until received.  For the purposes hereof, the address of each
party hereto shall be as set forth under such party’s name on the signature
pages hereof or (i) as to Company and Administrative Agent, such other
address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice delivered to
the other parties hereto and (ii) as to each other party, such other
address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice delivered to
Administrative Agent.  Electronic mail
and Internet and intranet websites may be used to distribute routine
communications, such as financial statements and other information, and to
distribute agreements and other documents to be signed by Administrative Agent,
Lenders and the Loan Parties. 
Administrative Agent or Company 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.

Loan Documents and
notices under the Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by
telefacsimile and by signatures delivered in ‘PDF’ format by electronic mail; provided,
however, that no signature with respect to any notice, request,
agreement, waiver,

 113
 

 

amendment or other
document that is intended to have binding effect may be sent by electronic
mail.  The effectiveness of any such
documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the same force
and effect as an original copy with manual signatures and shall be binding on
all Loan Parties, Administrative Agent and Lenders.  Administrative Agent may also require that
any such documents and signature be confirmed by a manually-signed copy
thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or
deliver any such manually-signed copy shall not affect the effectiveness of any
facsimile document or signature.

10.9                        Survival of Representations, Warranties and
Agreements.

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

B.                                    Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of
Company set forth in subsections 2.6D, 2.7, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.17 and 10.18
and the agreements of Lenders set forth in subsections 9.2C, 9.4, 10.5 and
10.18 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation or expiration of
the Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder,
and the termination of this Agreement.

10.10                 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies
Cumulative.

No failure or delay on
the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power,
right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such
power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or
acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any
other power, right or privilege.  All
rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise
available.

10.11                 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.

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

 114
 

 

10.12                 Severability.

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

10.13                 Obligations
Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights; Damage Waiver.

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

To the extent permitted
by law, Company shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with or as a result of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, subsection 2.1C hereof), any other Loan Document, any transaction
contemplated by the Loan Documents, any Loan or the use of proceeds
thereof.  No Indemnitee shall be liable
for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any
information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with the
Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

10.14                 Release
of Security Interest or Guaranty.

Upon the proposed sale or
other disposition of any Collateral to any Person (other than an Affiliate of
Company) that is permitted by this Agreement or to which Requisite Lenders have
otherwise consented, or the sale or other disposition of all of the Capital
Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any Person (other than an Affiliate of
Company) that is permitted by this Agreement or to which Requisite Lenders have
otherwise consented, for which a Loan Party desires to obtain a security
interest release or a release of the Subsidiary Guaranty from Administrative
Agent, such Loan Party shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate (i) stating that
the Collateral or the Capital Stock subject to such disposition is being sold
or otherwise disposed of in compliance with the terms hereof and (ii)
specifying the Collateral or Capital Stock being sold or otherwise disposed of
in the proposed transaction.  Upon the
receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, Administrative Agent shall, at such Loan
Party’s expense, so long as Administrative Agent (a) has no reason to believe
that the facts stated in such Officer’s Certificate are not true and correct
and (b), if the sale or other disposition of such item of Collateral or Capital
Stock constitutes an Asset Sale, shall have received evidence satisfactory to
it that arrangements satisfactory to it have been made for delivery of the Net
Asset Sale Proceeds if and as required

 115
 

 

by subsection 2.4,
execute and deliver such releases of its security interest in such Collateral
or such Subsidiary Guaranty, as may be reasonably requested by such Loan Party.

10.15                 Applicable
Law.

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ANY SUCH LOAN DOCUMENT),
AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION
5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), WITHOUT REGARD
TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE APPLICATION OF ANOTHER LAW.

10.16                 Construction
of Agreement; Nature of Relationship.

Each of the parties
hereto acknowledges that (i) it has been represented by counsel in the
negotiation and documentation of the terms of this Agreement, (ii) it has had
full and fair opportunity to review and revise the terms of this Agreement,
(iii) this Agreement has been drafted jointly by all of the parties hereto, and
(iv) neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship
with or duty to Company arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative
Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and Company, on the other hand, in connection
herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor.  Accordingly, each of the parties hereto
acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Agreement shall not be construed
against or in favor of another party.

10.17                 Consent
to Jurisdiction and Service of Process.

ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT
AGAINST COMPANY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT, OR ANY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY
STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY
OF NEW YORK.  BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING
THIS AGREEMENT, COMPANY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES,
IRREVOCABLY

(I)                                    ACCEPTS
GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH
COURTS;

(II)                                WAIVES

(III)                            AGREES
THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE

ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUBSECTION 10.8;

 116
 

 

(IV)                           AGREES
THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (III) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL
JURISDICTION OVER COMPANY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND
OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT;

(V)                               AGREES
THAT LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY
LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST COMPANY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION; AND

(VI)                           AGREES
THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION 10.17 RELATING TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE
SHALL BE BINDING AND ENFORCEABLE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER NEW

EACH OF

JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM
RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER

claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and
statutory claims.  Each party hereto
acknowledges that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business
relationship, that each has already relied on this waiver in entering into this
Agreement, and that each will continue to rely on this waiver in their related
future dealings.  Each party hereto
further warrants and represents that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal
counsel and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights
following consultation with legal counsel. 
THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING
THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL
WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SUBSECTION 10.18 AND EXECUTED BY
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT
AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO
THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER.  In
the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a
trial by the court.

10.19                 Confidentiality.

Each Lender shall hold
all non-public information of a confidential nature obtained pursuant to the requirements
of this Agreement in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for
handling confidential information of this nature, it being understood

 117
 

 

and agreed by
Company that in any event a Lender may make disclosures (a) to its and its
Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants,

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 Government Authority, (c) to the extent
required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal
process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection
with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder,
(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same
as those of this subsection 10.19, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or
participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any pledgee referred to
in subsection 10.01D, or  (iii) any
direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or
such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional
advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of
Company, (g) with the consent of Company, (h) to the extent such
information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this subsection 10.19 or (ii) becomes available to
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than Company or (i) to the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners or any other similar organization or any nationally recognized
rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s or its
Affiliates’ investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect
to such Lender or its Affiliates; provided that, unless specifically
prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall notify Company
of any request by any Government Authority or representative thereof (other
than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial
condition or other routine examinations or inquiries of such Lender by such
Government Authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior
to disclosure of such information; and provided, further that in
no event shall any Lender be obligated or required to return any materials
furnished by Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  In addition, Administrative Agent and Lenders
may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this
Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending
industry, and service providers to Administrative Agent and Lenders, and
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates may place customary “tombstone” advertisements (which may include any of
Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ trade names or corporate logos) in publications
of its choice (including without limitation “e-tombstones” published or
otherwise circulated in electronic form and related
hyperlinks to any of Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ corporate websites) at its
own expense.

10.20                 USA Patriot
Act.

Each Lender hereby notifies
Company 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 Loan Parties, which information includes the
name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such
Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

 118
 

 

10.21                 Counterparts;
Effectiveness.

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

10.22                 Reaffirmation.

Each Subsidiary
Guarantor has read this Agreement and consents to the terms hereof and further
hereby confirms and agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this
Agreement, the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under, and the Liens
granted by such Subsidiary Guarantor as collateral security for the indebtedness,
obligations and liabilities evidenced by the Loan Documents pursuant to, each
of the Loan Documents to which
such Subsidiary Guarantor is a party shall not be impaired and each of the Loan Documents to which such
Subsidiary Guarantor is a party is, and shall continue to be, in full force and
effect and is hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects.

Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby acknowledges and agrees that the
Secured Obligations under, and as defined in, the Security Agreement will
include all Obligations under, and as defined in, this Agreement.

Each Subsidiary

to effectiveness set forth in this Agreement, such Subsidiary Guarantor is not
required by the terms of the Original Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document to consent to the restatement of the Original Credit Agreement

Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to

Dear
John:

I
am writing to confirm the amendment to your existing employment letter, dated
October 17, 2005, as amended on February 22, 2006 (the “Employment Letter”).
Pursuant to your relocation to join the company, VWR International, Inc. will
cause SIRVA Relocation LLC to purchase your former house at its current fair
market value of $970,000.00. VWR has agreed with SIRVA Relocation LLC that the
house will be resold and any difference in the resale price will be for the
benefit of, or will be the responsibility of, VWR. In recognition of the
decrease in the value of this house, VWR agrees to pay you a special one-time
bonus of $92,500.00.

The
remaining terms of your Employment Letter will continue to apply and are not
affected by this Amendment.

	
  Sincerely,
