Exhibit 10.30

 

SEVERANCE
AGREEMENT

 

THIS SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into
as of September 10, 2004 by and between Equity Residential, a Maryland
real estate investment trust (the “Company”), and Donna Brandin (the “Executive”).

 

WITNESSETH

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Company (the “Board”)
recognizes that the possibility of a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined)
exists or may exist in the future and that the threat or the occurrence of
such an event can result in significant distractions of its key management
personnel because of the uncertainties inherent in such a situation;

 

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is essential
and in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to retain the
services of the Executive in the event of a threat or occurrence of a Change in
Control of the Company and to ensure her continued dedication and efforts in
such event without undue concern for her personal financial and employment
security; and

 

WHEREAS, in order to induce the Executive to remain in
the employ of the Company, particularly in the event of a threat or the
occurrence of either a Change in Control or a termination of her employment by
the Company without cause, the Company desires to enter into this Agreement with
the Executive to provide the Executive with certain benefits in the event her
employment is terminated as a result of such an event.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the respective
agreements of the parties contained herein and other good and valuation
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it
is agreed as follows:

 

1.                                       Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence as of the
date hereof and shall continue in effect until the date the Executive’s employment
is terminated.

 

2.                                       Definitions

 

2.1                                 Accrued Compensation. “Accrued Compensation” shall mean an
amount which shall include all amounts earned or accrued through the “Termination
Date” (as hereinafter defined) but not paid as of the Termination Date for: (i) base
salary, (ii) reimbursement for reasonable and necessary expenses incurred
by the Executive on behalf of the Company during the period ending on the
Termination Date, and (iii) vacation and sick leave pay (to the extent
provided by Company policy or applicable law).

 

2.2                                 Base Amount. “Base Amount” shall mean the Executive’s
annual base salary at the rate in effect on the Termination Date.

 

2.3                                 Bonus Amount. “Bonus Amount” shall mean the annual
average of the cash amount paid to the Executive under the Company’s annual
cash bonus plan for the two years immediately preceding the year in which the
Executive’s employment terminates. If the Executive’s employment is terminated
prior to payment of the 2005 calendar year bonus,

 

 

 “Bonus Amount” shall mean 100%
of the target bonus that the Executive would have been eligible to receive for
such year.

 

2.4                                 Cause. A termination of employment is for “Cause”
if the Executive has been convicted of a felony involving fraud or dishonesty
or the termination is evidenced by a resolution adopted in good faith by at
least two-thirds of the Board that the Executive: (i) intentionally and
continually failed substantially to perform her reasonably assigned duties
with the Company (other than a failure resulting from the Executive’s
incapacity due to physical or mental illness or from the Executive’s assignment
of duties that would constitute “Good Reason” as hereinafter defined) which
failure continued for a period of at least thirty (30) days after a written
notice of demand for substantial performance has been delivered to the
Executive specifying the manner in which the Executive has failed substantially
to perform or (ii) intentionally engaged in conduct which is
demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company; provided, however,
that no termination of the Executive’s employment shall be for Cause as set
forth in clause (ii) above until (x) there shall have been delivered to
the Executive a copy of a written notice setting forth that the Executive was
guilty of the conduct set forth in clause (ii) and specifying the
particulars thereof in detail and (y) the Executive shall have been provided an
opportunity to be heard in person by the Board (with the assistance of the
Executive’s counsel if the Executive so desires). Neither an act nor a failure
to act, on the Executive’s part shall be considered “intentional” unless
the Executive has acted or failed to act with a lack of good faith and with a
lack of reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or failure to act was in
the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, no failure to perform by the Executive after a
Notice of Termination (as defined in Section 2.9) is given by the
Executive shall constitute Cause for purposes of this Agreement.

 

2.5                                 Change in Control. A “Change in Control” shall mean any of
the following events:

 

(a)                                  An acquisition (other than directly from
the Company) of any voting securities of the Company (the “Voting Securities”)
by any “Person” (as the term person is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or
14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)),
immediately after which such Person has “Beneficial Ownership” (within the
meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of 30% or more of
the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities; provided,
however, that in determining whether a Change in Control has occurred,
Voting Securities which are acquired in a “Non-Control Acquisition” (as
hereinafter defined) shall not constitute an acquisition which would cause a
Change in Control. A “Non-Control Acquisition” shall mean an acquisition by (i) an
employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by
(x) the Company or (y) any corporation or other Person of which a majority of
its voting power or its equity securities or equity interest is owned directly
or indirectly by the Company (a “Subsidiary”), (ii) the Company or any
Subsidiary or (iii) any Person in connection with a “Non-Control
Transaction” (as hereinafter defined).

 

(b)                                 Approval by stockholders of the Company
of:

 

(i)                                     A merger, consolidation or reorganization
involving the Company, unless:

 

(A)                              the stockholders of the Company,
immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own, directly
or indirectly, immediately following such merger, consolidation or
reorganization, at

 

2

 

least
seventy percent (70%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding Voting
Securities of the corporation or other entity resulting from such merger or
consolidation or reorganization (the “Surviving Corporation”) in substantially
the same proportion as their ownership of the Voting Securities immediately
before such merger, consolidation or reorganization; and

 

(B)                                the individuals who were members of the
Incumbent Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing
for such merger, consolidation or reorganization constitute at least a majority
of the members of the board of directors or similar governing body of the
Surviving Corporation or a corporation or other entity beneficially owning,
directly or indirectly, a majority of the Voting Securities of the Surviving
Corporation;

 

(ii)                                  A complete liquidation or dissolution of
the Company; or

 

(iii)                               An agreement for the sale or other disposition of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any Person (other than to
an entity of which the Company directly or indirectly owns at least 70% of the
voting shares).

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any
Person (the “Subject Person”) acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the
permitted amount of the outstanding Voting Securities as a result of the
acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number
of Voting Securities outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares
Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, provided that if a Change in Control
would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the
acquisition of Voting Securities by the Company, and after such share
acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of
any additional Voting Securities which increases the percentage of the then
outstanding Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a
Change in Control shall occur.

 

(c)                                  The rejection by the voting Beneficial
Owners of the outstanding Shares of the entire slate of trustees that the Board
proposes at a single election of trustees; or

 

(d)                                 The rejection by the voting Beneficial
Owners of the outstanding Shares of one-half or more of the trustees that the
Board proposes over any two or more consecutive elections of trustees.

 

(e)                                  Notwithstanding anything contained in
this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive’s employment is terminated
prior to a Change in Control and the Executive reasonably demonstrates that
such termination: (i) was at the request of a third party who has
indicated an intention or taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change
in Control and who effectuates a Change in Control (a “Third Party”) or (ii) otherwise
occurred in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Change in Control which
actually occurs, then for all purposes of this Agreement, the date of a Change
in Control with respect to the Executive shall mean the date immediately prior
to the date of such termination of the Executive’s employment.

2.6                                 Company. The “Company” shall include the Company’s
“Successors and Assigns” (as hereinafter defined).

 

2.7                                 Disability. “Disability” shall mean a physical or
mental infirmity that entitles the Executive to benefits under the Company
sponsored long-term disability plan in which he or she participates.

 

2.8                                 Good Reason.

 

(a)                                  “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence
of any of the events or conditions described in subsections (i) through (vii) hereof:

 

(i)                                     a change in the Executive’s status,
position or responsibilities (including reporting responsibilities) which, in
the Executive’s reasonable judgment, represents a substantial adverse change
from her status, position or responsibilities; or the assignment to the
Executive of any duties or responsibilities which, in the Executive’s
reasonable judgment, are inconsistent with her status, title, position or
responsibilities.

 

(ii)                                  a reduction in the Executive’s base
salary or any failure to pay the Executive any compensation or benefits to
which she is entitled within five days of written notice thereof;

 

(iii)                               the Company’s requiring the Executive to be based at
any place outside a 30-mile radius from the Executive’s principal location of
business in Chicago, Illinois, except for reasonably required travel on the
Company’s business;

 

(iv)                              the insolvency or the filing (by any
party, including the Company) of a petition for bankruptcy of the Company,
which petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days;

 

(v)                                 any material breach by the Company of any
provision of this Agreement;

 

(vi)                              any purported termination of the
Executive’s employment for Cause by the Company which does not comply with the
terms of Section 2.4; or

 

(vii)                           the failure of the Company to obtain an agreement,
satisfactory to the Executive, from any Successors and Assigns to assume and
agree to perform this Agreement, as contemplated in Section 6 hereof.

 

(b)                                 Any event or condition described in Section 2.8(a)(i) through
(vii) which occurs prior to a Change in Control, but which the Executive
reasonably demonstrates arose in connection with, or in anticipation of, a
Change in Control, which actually occurs, shall constitute Good Reason for
purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding that it occurred prior to the Change
in Control.

2.9.                              Notice of Termination. “Notice of Termination” shall mean a

which sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to
provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the
provision so indicated.

 

2.10.                        Pro Rata Bonus. “Pro Rata Bonus” shall mean an amount
equal to 100% of the target bonus that the Executive would have been eligible
to receive for the Company’s fiscal year in which the Executive’s employment
terminates, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
days in such fiscal year through the Termination Date and the denominator of
which is 365.

 

2.11.                        Successors and Assigns. “Successors and Assigns” shall mean a
corporation or other entity acquiring all or substantially all the Voting

day of her employment; provided, however, that if the Executive’s
employment is terminated by the Company due to Disability, the date specified
in the Notice of Termination shall be the 30th day after receipt of
the Notice of Termination by the Executive, provided that the Executive shall
not have returned to the full-time performance of her duties within 30 days
after such receipt.

 

3.                                       Termination of Employment. The Executive shall be entitled to the
following compensation and benefits if her employment with the Company is
terminated:

 

(a)                                  If the Executive’s employment with the
Company shall be terminated: (i) by the Company for Cause or Disability, (ii) by
reason of the Executive’s death or (iii) by the Executive other than for
Good Reason, the Company shall pay to the Executive the Accrued Compensation; provided,
however, if an employment agreement is in existence between the Company
and/or any of its affiliates and the Executive on the Termination Date, the
Company and/or its affiliates, as the case may be, shall also pay to the
Executive any amounts owed to the Executive pursuant to such employment
agreement.

 

(b)                                 If the Executive’s employment with the

and 100% of any unpaid bonus with respect to the Company’s fiscal year ended
prior to the Termination Date.

 

(ii)                                  the Company shall pay the Executive as
severance pay and in lieu of any further compensation for periods subsequent to
the Termination Date, in a single payment an amount in cash equal to one (1) times
the sum of (A) the Base Amount and (B) the Bonus Amount; provided,
however, if an employment agreement is in existence between the Company
and/or any of its affiliates and

 

5

 

the
Executive on the Termination Date, any amount due the Executive under this Section 3(b)(ii) shall
be reduced by the amount of Base Amount and Bonus Amount paid as severance pay
to Executive pursuant to such employment agreement in lieu of compensation for
periods subsequent to the Termination Date.

 

(iii)                               for twelve (12) months following the Termination Date,
(the “Continuation Period”), the Company shall at its expense continue on
behalf of the Executive and her dependents and beneficiaries the same medical,
dental, life, disability and hospitalization benefits provided to the Executive
immediately prior to the termination of employment. The coverage and benefits
(including deductibles and costs) provided in this Section 3(b)(iii) during
the Continuation Period shall be no less favorable to the Executive and her or
her dependents and beneficiaries than the most favorable of such coverages and
benefits during any of the periods referred to in clauses (A) and (B) above.
The Company’s obligation hereunder with respect to the foregoing benefits shall
be limited to the extent that the Executive obtains any such benefits pursuant
to a subsequent employer’s benefit plans, in which case the Company may reduce
the coverage of any benefits it is required to provide the Executive hereunder
as long as the aggregate coverages and benefits of the combined benefits plans
is no less favorable to the Executive than the coverages and benefits required to
be provided hereunder. This subsection (iii) shall not be interpreted
so as to limit any benefits to which the Executive, her dependents or
beneficiaries may be otherwise entitled under any of the Company’s
employee benefit plans, programs or practices following the Executive’s
termination of employment, including without limitation, retiree medical and
life insurance benefits;

 

(iv)                              all theretofore unvested stock options,
restricted options, restricted stock, performance shares, phantom share awards,
share appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and any other awards issued to
the Executive pursuant to the Company’s Share Incentive Plan, as amended or
replaced time to time, shall immediately vest at the maximum possible amount;
with the exception of performance shares and other awards which have a variable
payout, in which case such performance shares/awards shall immediately vest at
the greater of: (i) the 100% target level; or (ii) the number of
shares earned calculated using the valuation method as of the date of
termination of employment; and

 

(c)                                  The amounts provided for in Sections 3(b)(i) and
(ii) shall be paid in a single lump sum cash payment in immediately
available funds within five (5) days following the expiration of any
required waiting period under the release agreement referenced in Section 11
hereof (or earlier, if required by applicable law).

 

(d)                                 The Executive shall not be required to
mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking
other employment or otherwise, and no such payment shall be offset or reduced
by the amount of any compensation or benefits provided to the Executive in any
subsequent employment except as provided in Section 3(b)(iii).

 

(e)                                  The Executive’s entitlement to any other
compensation or benefits or any indemnification shall be determined in
accordance with the Company’s employee benefit plans

 

6

 

and other applicable
programs, policies and practices or any indemnification agreement in effect.

 

4.                                       Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of the
Executive’s employment by the Company shall be communicated by Notice of
Termination to the Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, no such purported
termination shall be effective without such Notice of Termination.

 

5.                                       Successors; Binding
Agreement. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company,
its Successors and Assigns, and the Company shall require any Successors and
Assigns to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the
same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it
if no such succession or assignment had taken place. Neither this Agreement nor
any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by the
Executive, her beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal personal representative.

 

6.                                       Fees and Expenses. The Company shall pay all legal fees
and related expenses (including the costs of experts, evidence and counsel)
incurred by the Executive as a result of the Executive obtaining or enforcing
any right or benefit provided by this Agreement. Furthermore, any amounts due
Executive by the Company that are not paid when due under this Agreement shall
bear interest at the Prime Rate (as declared by Bank of America, N.A. from time
to time) plus 5% from the time when the payment is due until the date the
payment is made.

 

7.                                       Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement,
notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement (including
the Notice of Termination) shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given when personally delivered or sent by certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, by overnight courier or by facsimile, addressed to
the respective addresses and facsimile numbers last given by each party to the
other, provided that all notices to the Company shall be directed to the
attention of the Chairman of the Board with a copy to the Secretary of the
Company. All notices and communications shall be deemed to have been received
on the date of delivery thereof or on the third business day after the mailing
thereof, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon
receipt.

 

8.                                       Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent
or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit,
bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Company (except for
any severance or termination policies, plans, programs or practices) and for
which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or reduce
such rights as the Executive may have under any other agreements with the
Company (except for any severance or termination agreement). Amounts which are
vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under
any plan or program of the Company shall be payable in accordance with such
plan or program, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

 

9.                                       No Guaranteed Employment. The Executive and the Company
acknowledge that, except as may otherwise be provided under any other
written agreement between the Executive and the Company, the employment of the
Executive by the Company is “at will” and

 

7

 

may be terminated by either the Executive or the Company at any
time, subject, however to the rights of the Executive provided herein in the
event of any such termination.

 

10.                                 Settlement of Claims. The Company’s obligation to make the
payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its
obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including,
without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
right which the Company may have against the Executive or others.

 

11.                                 Full Satisfaction; Waiver
and Release; Non-Competition. As a condition to receiving the payments and
benefits hereunder, the Executive shall execute a document in customary form,
releasing and waiving any and all claims, causes of actions and the like
against the Company and its successors, shareholders, officers, trustees,
agents and employees, regarding all matters relating to the Executive’s service
as an employee of the Company or any affiliates and the termination of such
relationship. Said document shall also contain appropriate confidentiality
provisions and a one-year non-competition and employee non-solicitation covenant
by the Executive. Such claims include, without
limitation, any claims arising under Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967, as amended (the “ADEA”); Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991, as amended; the Equal
Pay Act of 1962; the American Disabilities Act of 1990; the Family Medical

amended; or any other federal, state or local statute or ordinance, but exclude any claims that arise out of an asserted breach
of the terms of this Agreement or current or future claims related to the
matters described in Section 8.

 

12.                                 Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be
modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is
agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and the Company. No waiver by
either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or
compliance with, any condition or provisions of this Agreement to be performed
by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar
provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No
agreement or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with
respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are
not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

 

13.                                 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois
without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof. Any action
brought by any party to this Agreement shall be brought and maintained in a
court of competent jurisdiction in Cook County in the State of Illinois.

 

14.                                 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall
be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

 

15.                                 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements, if
any, understandings and arrangements, oral or written, between the parties

such lease has been extended or may, at the option of the lessor, be extended.  Such present value shall be calculated using
a discount rate equal to the rate of interest implicit in such transaction,

SECTION 2.  AMOUNT
AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS; LETTERS OF CREDIT

2.1   Tranche C Term Loan Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof
including Section 2.2(b), the Tranche C Term Loan Lenders severally agree to
make term loans (each, a “Tranche C Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the
Restatement Date in an amount for each Tranche C Term Loan Lender not to exceed
the amount of the Tranche C Term Loan Commitment of such Lender.  The Tranche C Term Loans may from time to
time be Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower and
notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.11.

2.2   Procedure
for Tranche C Term Loan Borrowing. 
(a)   The Borrower shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable notice (which notice must be
received by the Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time,
one Business Day prior to the anticipated Restatement Date) requesting that the
Tranche C Term Loan Lenders make the Tranche C Term Loans on the Restatement
Date and specifying the amount to be borrowed. 
The Tranche C Term Loans made on the Restatement Date shall initially be
Base Rate Loans and may be converted to Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section
2.11.  Upon receipt of such notice of
borrowing the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Tranche C Term
Loan Lender thereof.  Not later than
12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Restatement Date each Tranche C Term
Loan Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding
Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Tranche C Term
Loan to be made by such Lender on the Restatement Date (or, in the case of a
Continuing Lender, provide the Administrative Agent with a Conversion Notice
with respect to its Existing Term Loans in lieu of such funding
requirement).  The Administrative Agent
shall make available to the Borrower the aggregate of the amounts made
available to the Administrative Agent by the Tranche C Term Loan Lenders, in
like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

(b)   Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.2 to the
contrary, at the option of each Continuing Lender, all or a portion of the
Existing Term Loans of such Continuing Lender

 28
 

may be
converted to Tranche C Term Loans and applied, dollar for dollar, toward
satisfaction of its funding requirements set forth in clause (a) above.

2.3   Repayment of Tranche C Term Loans.  The Tranche C
Term Loan of each Tranche C Term Loan Lender shall mature on the six-year
anniversary of the Restatement Date and no interim amortization shall be
required.  Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if the Senior Notes shall not be repaid, redeemed or
refinanced prior to April 1, 2011, the outstanding Tranche C Term Loans shall
become immediately due and payable on such date.

2.4   Revolving Credit Commitments; Swing Line Commitment.  (a)  Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make
revolving credit loans (“Revolving Credit Loans”) to the Borrower from
time to time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in an aggregate
principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s
Revolving Credit Percentage of the L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans then
outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment.  During the Revolving Credit
Commitment Period the Borrower may use the Revolving Credit Commitments by
borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part, and
reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.  The Revolving Credit Loans may from time to
time be Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower and
notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.5 and 2.11, provided
that no Revolving Credit Loan shall be made as a Eurodollar Loan after the day
that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date.  Any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding under
the Original Credit Agreement on the Restatement Date shall continue to be
outstanding and be deemed to be Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder subject
to the terms and conditions hereof.

(b)   Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing
Line Lender agrees to make available a portion of the credit otherwise
available to the Borrower under the Revolving Credit Commitments from time to
time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period by making swing line loans (“Swing
Line Loans”) to the Borrower; provided that (i) the aggregate
principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed
the Swing Line Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swing Line
Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swing Line Lender’s
other outstanding Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, may exceed the Swing Line
Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the Borrower shall not request, and the
Swing Line Lender shall not make, any Swing Line Loan if, after giving effect
to the making of such Swing Line Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available
Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero.  During the Revolving Credit Commitment
Period, the Borrower may use the Swing Line Commitment by borrowing, repaying
and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.  Swing Line Loans shall be Base Rate Loans
only.  Any Swing Line Loans outstanding
under the Original Credit Agreement on the Restatement Date shall continue to
be outstanding and be deemed to be Swing Line Loans made hereunder, subject to
the terms and conditions hereof.

(c)   The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving
Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 29
 

2.5   Procedure for Borrowing Revolving
Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans; Refunding of Swing Line Loans.  (a)    The Borrower may
borrow Revolving Credit Loans under the Revolving Credit Commitments during the
Revolving Credit Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that the
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice
must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City
time, (i) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the
case of Eurodollar Loans, or (ii) one Business Day prior to the requested
Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans), specifying (A) the amount and
Type of Revolving Credit Loans to be borrowed, (B) the requested Borrowing Date
and (C) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the length of the initial Interest
Period therefor.  Each borrowing under
the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case
of Base Rate Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof (or, if the then
aggregate Available Revolving Credit Commitments are less than $1,000,000, such
lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, provided, that the Swing Line
Lender may request, on behalf of the Borrower, borrowings under the Revolving
Credit Commitments which are Base Rate Loans in other amounts pursuant to
Section 2.5(c).  Upon receipt of any such
notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender thereof.  Each Lender will make
the amount of its pro  rata share of each borrowing of Revolving
Credit Loans available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the
Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the
Administrative Agent.  Such borrowing
will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent in like
funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

(b)   Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swing Line
Lender make Swing Line Loans it shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable
telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must
be received by the Swing Line Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed
and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the
Revolving Credit Commitment Period). 
Each borrowing under the Swing Line Commitment shall be in an amount
equal to $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time,
on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swing Line Loans, the
Swing Line Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the
Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of
the Swing Line Loan to be made by the Swing Line Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall make the
proceeds of such Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower on such Borrowing
Date in immediately available funds.

(c)   The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to
time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which
hereby irrevocably directs the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf), on one
Business Day’s notice given by the Swing Line Lender no later than 12:00 Noon,
New York City time, request each Lender to make, and each Revolving Credit
Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Credit Loan, in an amount equal to
such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate
amount of the Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”)
outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swing Line Lender.  Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the
amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent at
the Funding Office in

 30
 

immediately
available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business
Day after the date of such notice.  The
proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately made available by
the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender for application by the Swing
Line Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swing Line Loans.

(d)   If prior to the time a Revolving Credit Loan would have
otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.5(c), one of the events described in
Section 7(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower
or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swing Line Lender in its sole
discretion, Revolving Credit Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section
2.5(c), each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan was to have
been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.5(c) (the “Refunding
Date”), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then
outstanding Swing Line Loans by paying to the Swing Line Lender an amount (the “Swing
Line Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swing
Line Loans then outstanding which were to have been repaid with such Revolving
Credit Loans.

(e)   Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has
received from any Lender such Lender’s Swing Line Participation Amount, the
Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of the Swing Line Loans, the
Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swing Line Participation
Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect
the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was
outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to
reflect such Lender’s pro  rata portion of such payment if such
payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swing
Line Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that
such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such
Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously
distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender.

(f)   Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make the
Revolving Credit Loans referred to in Section 2.5(c) and to purchase
participating interests pursuant to Section 2.5(d) shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without
limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swing
Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii)
the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the
failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 4; (iii)
any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower;
(iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower,
any other Loan Party or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance,
happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.6   Repayment of Loans; Evidence of
Debt.  (a)    The
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the appropriate Lender (i) the then unpaid principal amount of
each Revolving Credit Loan and Swing Line Loan of such Lender on the Revolving
Credit Termination Date (or such earlier date on which such Loans become due
and payable pursuant to Section 7) and (ii) the principal amount of each
Tranche C Term Loan at maturity as set forth in Section 2.3 (or on such earlier
date on which such Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 7). The
Borrower hereby further agrees

 31
 

to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the
Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full
thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.13.

(b)   Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the
amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to
time under this Agreement.

(c)   The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower,
shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 9.6(d), and a subaccount
therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan
made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type thereof and each
Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each
Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share
thereof.

(d)   The entries made in the Register and the accounts of
each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.6(b) shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be prima  facie evidence of the
existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided,
however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to
maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in
any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable
interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.

(e)   The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the
Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to
such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Revolving Credit
Loans, Swing Line Loans or Tranche C Term Loans, as the case may be, of such
Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit G-1, G-2, and G-3, respectively,
with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount; provided
that delivery of such notes shall not be a condition precedent to the making of
the Loans on the Closing Date or the Restatement Date, as applicable.

2.7   Commitment Fees, etc.  (a)  The Borrower agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee for
the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving
Credit Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average
daily amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during
the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving
Credit Termination Date (or any earlier date of termination of the Revolving
Credit Commitments), commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the
date hereof.

(b)   The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agents the fees in
the amounts and on the dates agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the
Agents prior to the Restatement Date.

2.8   Termination or Reduction of
Revolving Credit Commitments.  The
Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice
to the Administrative Agent

 32
 

(which shall promptly notify each Lender thereof), to
terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the
amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that no such
termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if,
after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit
Loans and/or Swing Line Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total
Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Credit
Commitments.  Any such reduction shall be
in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce
permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

2.9   Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower may at any time and from time to
time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except
as otherwise provided herein), upon irrevocable notice delivered to the
Administrative Agent at least three Business Days prior thereto in the case of
Eurodollar Loans and at least one Business Day prior thereto in the case of
Base Rate Loans (or a shorter period agreed by the Administrative Agent in its
reasonable discretion), which notice shall specify the date and amount of
prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line
Loans or Tranche C Term Loans and whether of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate
Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other
than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall
also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19.  Upon receipt of any such notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.  If any such notice is given, the amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified
therein, together with (except in the case of prepayments of Base Rate Loans)
accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.  Partial prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans
shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple
thereof, and partial prepayments of Swing Line Loans shall be in an aggregate
principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

2.10   Mandatory Prepayments.  (a)    If
any Indebtedness shall be incurred by any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries
(excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 6.2), then on
the date of such incurrence, the Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to
the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds of such incurrence, as set forth in Section
2.10(c) (without any accompanying mandatory reduction of the Revolving Credit
Commitments).

(b)   If on any date the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then,
unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, not later
than five Business Days following the date of receipt by the Borrower of such
Net Cash Proceeds, the Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the amount
of such Net Cash Proceeds, as set forth in Section 2.10(c) (without any
accompanying mandatory reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments); provided,
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of Asset
Sales or Recovery Events that may be excluded from the foregoing requirement
pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice shall not exceed $15,000,000 and (ii) on each
Reinvestment Prepayment Date the Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to
the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment
Event, as set forth in Section 2.10(c). 
The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the
consummation of any Disposition not permitted by Section 6.5.

 33
 

(c)   Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments
made pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be applied, first, to the
prepayment of the Tranche C Term Loans and, second, to the prepayment of
outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swing Line Loans, and in each case, first
to Base Rate Loans and second to Eurodollar Loans.

2.11   Conversion and Continuation
Options.  (a)    The Borrower may elect from
time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the
Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of
such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may
only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  The Borrower may elect, from time to time, to
convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent
at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (which
notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided
that no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when
any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative
Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have
determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or
(ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination
or maturity date of such Facility.  Upon
receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
relevant Lender thereof.

(b)   Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the
expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the
Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in
Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such
Loan; provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may
be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in
respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to
permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the
final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility, and provided,
further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as
described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted
pursuant to the preceding proviso such Eurodollar Loan shall be automatically
converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of such then expiring Interest
Period.  Upon receipt of any such notice
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.12   Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number
of Eurodollar Tranches.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions,
continuations and optional prepayments of Eurodollar Loans hereunder and all
selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made
pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the
aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar
Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be
outstanding at any one time.

2.13   Interest Rates and Payment Dates.  (a)    Each

annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(c)   (i)    If all or a portion of the
principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligations shall not be paid

outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (whether or not overdue) shall
bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to (x) in the case of Loans,
the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section plus 2% and (y) in the case of Reimbursement
Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2%, and (ii) if
all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loans and Reimbursement Obligations
(whether or not overdue) or any commitment fee or other amount payable
hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2%,
in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such
non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before
judgment).

(d)   Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c)
of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.14   Computation of Interest and Fees.  (a)    Interest, fees and
commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base
Rate Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the
Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or
366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as
practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination
of a Eurodollar Rate.  Any change in the
interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the
Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of
business on the day on which such change becomes effective.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as
practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date
and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b)   Each determination of an interest rate by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be
conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of
manifest error.  The Administrative Agent
shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement
showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any
interest rate pursuant to Section 2.14(a).

2.15   Inability to Determine Interest
Rate.  If prior to the first day of
any Interest Period:

(a)  
the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances
affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

 35
 

(b)  
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility
Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined
or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of
making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or
telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as
practicable thereafter.  If such notice
is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be
made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans,
(y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted
on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued
as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant
Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest
Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate Loans.  Until such notice has been withdrawn by the
Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility
shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to
convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

2.16   Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.  (a)    Each
borrowing by the Borrower of Revolving Credit Loans and Tranche C Term Loans
hereunder, each payment by the Borrower of Revolving Credit Loans and Tranche C
Term Loans hereunder and any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of
the Lenders shall be made pro  rata according to the respective
Tranche C Term Loan Percentages or Revolving Credit Percentages of the Lenders
as applicable.  Other than with respect
to any substituted Lender in accordance with Section 2.22, each payment in respect
of principal or interest in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans and Tranche C
Term Loans, each payment in respect of commitment fees payable hereunder shall
be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro  rata
according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.  Each payment in respect of Reimbursement
Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing
Lender that issued such Letter of Credit.

(b)   All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the
Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or
otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior
to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Payment Office, in
Dollars and in immediately available funds. 
Any payment made after 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on any Business
Day shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute
such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as
received.  If any payment hereunder
(other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day
other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day.  If any payment
on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business
Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day
unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into
another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day.  In
the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding
two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate
during such extension.

 36
 

(c)   Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been
notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will
not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available
to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the Borrower a corresponding amount.  If
such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required
time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the
daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender
makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent
submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is
not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three
Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be
entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum
applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the
Borrower.

(d)   Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been
notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be
made hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is
making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders
their respective pro  rata shares of a corresponding amount.  If such payment is not made to the
Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days of such due
date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from
each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the
preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal
to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the
rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

2.17   Requirements of Law.  (a)    If the adoption of
or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application
thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or
not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i)  
shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by
it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof
(except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.18 and changes in the rate
of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);

(ii)  
shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or
other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions
of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender
that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder;
or

(iii)  
shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

 37
 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase
the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material,
of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or
issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower
shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount
receivable.  If any Lender becomes
entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall
promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the
event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b)   If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption
of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such
Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender
to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor,
the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(c)   A certificate as to any additional amounts payable
pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower setting out in
reasonable detail the method of determination of such additional amounts (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.  The obligations of the
Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of amounts payable hereunder.

2.18   Taxes.  (a)    All
payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear
of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or
future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees,
deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected,
withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and
franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the
Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former
connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction
of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising
solely from the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s having executed,
delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or
enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document).  If any such non-excluded taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded
Taxes”) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary
to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all
Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable
hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided,
however, that the Borrower

 38
 

shall not be required to increase any such amounts
payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are
attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of
paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding
taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes
a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if
any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts
from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to Section
2.18(a).

(b)   In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)   Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are
payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall
send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent or
relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official
receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof.  If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded
Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to
remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required
documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become
payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such
failure.  The agreements in this Section
2.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d)   Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a citizen or
resident of the United States of America, a corporation, partnership or other
entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States of
America (or any jurisdiction thereof), or any estate or trust that is subject
to federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income (a “Non-U.S.
Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and,
in the case of a Participant or a Lender participating in a conduit financing
arrangement, as defined in Section 7701(1) of the Code and the regulations
thereunder (a “Conduit Financing Arrangement”) (such Lender, a “Conduit
Lender”), also to the Lender from which the related participation shall
have been purchased or from which the designation of such Conduit Lender was
made, as the case may be) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY, or, in the case of a Non-U.S.
Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section
871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest” a
statement substantially in the form of Exhibit H and a Form W-8BEN or
Form W-8IMY, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto properly
completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete
exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all
payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.  Such forms shall be delivered
by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this
Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such
Participant purchases the related participation).  In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall
deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form
previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender.  Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify
the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to
provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form
of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be

 39
 

required to
deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is
not legally able to deliver.  If any
Non-U.S. Lender provides a Form W-8IMY, such Non-U.S. Lender must also attach
the additional documentation that must be transmitted with Form W-8IMY,
including the appropriate forms described in this Section 2.18(d).  A Conduit Lender shall provide two copies of
the appropriate withholding statements for all participants and parties to a
potential Conduit Financing Arrangement to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent on or before the date of commencement of the potential Conduit Financing
Arrangement.

(e)   A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in
which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a
party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such
properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as
will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided
that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation
and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

(f)   If the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a
refund in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower,
which in the good faith judgment of such Lender is allocable to such payment,
it shall promptly pay such refund, together with any other amounts paid by the
Borrower in connection with such refunded Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, to
the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender incurred in
obtaining such refund, provided, however, that the Borrower
agrees to promptly return such refund to the Administrative Agent or the
applicable Lender, as the case may be, if it receives notice from the
Administrative Agent or applicable Lender that the Administrative Agent or such
Lender is required to repay such refund.

(g)   No Conduit Lender or other
participant in a potential Conduit Financing Arrangement shall be entitled to
receive any greater amount pursuant to Section 2.18 than the financing entity
(as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.881-3(a)(2)) would be entitled to receive
pursuant to Section 2.18.

2.19   Indemnity.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender
for and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense that such Lender
may reasonably sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the
Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of
Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower
in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a
prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day
of an Interest Period with respect thereto. 
Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any,
of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid
or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from
the date of such prepayment or conversion or of such failure to borrow, convert
or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a
failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have
commenced on the date of such failure) in each

 40
 

case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans
provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included
therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably
determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such
amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading
banks in the interbank eurodollar market. 
A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section
submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.  This covenant shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all
other amounts payable hereunder.

2.20   Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein,
if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the
interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make
or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the
commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue
Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall
forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as
Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans
on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect
to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law.  If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan
occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period
with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if
any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.19.

2.21   Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence
of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.17, 2.18(a) or 2.20 with
respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable
efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate
another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of
avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation
is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender
and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory
disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section
shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights
of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18(a) or 2.20.

2.22   Substitution of Lenders.  Upon the receipt by the Borrower from any
Lender (an “Affected Lender”) of a claim under Section 2.17, 2.18 or
2.20, the Borrower may: (a) request one more of the other Lenders to acquire
and assume all or part of such Affected Lender’s Loans, Reimbursement
Obligations and Revolving Credit Commitment; or (b) replace such Affected
Lender by designating another Lender or a financial institution that is willing
to acquire such Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and assume such Revolving
Credit Commitment;  provided that
(i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such
replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or
institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and Reimbursement Obligations,
accrued interest and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the
date of replacement (including all amounts then owing to such replaced Lender
pursuant to Sections 2.17, 2.18 and 2.20), (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to
such replaced Lender under Section 2.19 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such
replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of
the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution,
if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent, and (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such

 41
 

replacement in accordance with the provisions of
Section 9.6 (provided that the Borrower or replacement Lender shall be
obligated to pay the registration and processing fee).

2.23   L/C Commitment. 
(a)  Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the
other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 2.26(a), agrees to issue
letters of credit (the letters of credit issued on and after the Restatement
Date, together with the Existing Letters of Credit, collectively, the “Letters
of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the
Revolving Credit Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to
time by such Issuing Lender; provided that no Issuing Lender shall have
any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such
issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii)
the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be
less than zero.  Each Letter of Credit
shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier
of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date which is
five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, provided
that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal
thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond
the date referred to in clause (y) above).

(b)        No
Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit
hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or
any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement
of Law.

2.24   Procedure for Issuance of Letter
of Credit.  The Borrower may from
time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by
delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein
an Application therefor, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such
Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and
information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request with respect to the
requested Letter of Credit.  Upon receipt
of any Application, an Issuing Lender will process such Application and the
certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in
connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall
promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall
any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three
Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other
certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by
issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise
may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower.  Promptly after issuance by an Issuing Lender
of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter
of Credit to the Borrower.  Each Issuing
Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn
promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of
Credit issued by it (including the amount thereof).

2.25   Fees and Other Charges.  (a)    The Borrower will
pay a fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit
at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect
to Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurodollar Loans, shared ratably among the
Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the
issuance date.  In addition, the Borrower
shall pay to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee on the
aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it in
an amount to be agreed upon from time to time between such Issuing

 42
 

Lender and the Borrower, payable quarterly in arrears
on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the date of Issuance.

(b)   In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall
pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and
expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing,
negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any
Letter of Credit.

2.26   L/C Participations.  (a)    Each
Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C
Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit
hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and
hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk
an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit
Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect
of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount
of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder.  Each L/C Participant unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any
Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not
reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at
such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to
such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft,
or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed.

(b)   If any amount required to be paid by any L/C
Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.26(a) in respect of any
unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any
Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days
after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to such
Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount,
times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period
from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such
payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction
the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and
the denominator of which is 360.  If any
such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section
2.26(a) is not made available to such Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant
within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing
Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such
amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per
annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility.  A certificate of such Issuing Lender
submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any such amounts owing under
this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c)   Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made
payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant
its pro  rata share of such payment in accordance with Section
2.26(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of
Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of
collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on
account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant
its pro  rata share thereof; provided, however, that
in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be

 43
 

required to be
returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such
Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing
Lender to it.

(d)   Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to purchase,
pursuant to Section 2.26(a), such Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage in each
Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of
Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without
limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
right which such Lender or the Borrower may have against such Issuing Lender,
the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence
or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy
any of the other conditions specified in Section 4; (iii) any adverse change in
the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;
(iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower,
any other Loan Party or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance,
happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.27   Reimbursement Obligation of the
Borrower.  The Borrower agrees to
reimburse each Issuing Lender on each date on which such Issuing Lender
notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any
Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender (but in any event no such
reimbursement shall be required before the date on which Base Rate Loans would
be made (or the procedure specified in Section 2.26 would become applicable) as
described in the last two sentences of this Section) for the amount of (a) such
draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses
incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts
described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing,
collectively, the “Payment Amount”). 
Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address
for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of America
and in immediately available funds. 
Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the
applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in
(i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable
drawing, Section 2.13(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.13(c).  Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall
(unless an event of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 7(f)
shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, in which
case the procedures specified in Section 2.26 for funding by L/C Participants
shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent
for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 of Base Rate Loans in the amount of
such drawing.  The Borrowing Date with
respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of
Revolving Credit Loans could be made, pursuant to Section 2.5, if the
Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time of
such drawing under such Letter of Credit.

2.28   Obligations Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligations under Sections
2.23 through 2.29 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances
and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the
Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any L/C Participant,
any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person.  The Borrower also agrees that each Issuing
Lender and the L/C Participant shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s
Reimbursement Obligations under Section 2.27 shall not be affected by, among
other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements
thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid,
fraudulent

 44
 

or forged, or any dispute between or among the
Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to
which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the
Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such
transferee.  No Issuing Lender or L/C
Participant shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in
transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however
transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or
omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Issuing Lender.  The Borrower
agrees that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in
connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or
documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and
in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial
Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not
result in any liability of such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to the
Borrower.

2.29   Letter of Credit Payments.  If any draft shall be presented for payment
under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify
the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. 
The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to the Borrower in
connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit
issued by such Issuing Lender shall, in addition to any payment obligation
expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that
the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in
connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such
Letter of Credit.

2.30   Applications.  To the extent that any provision of any
Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions
of Sections 2.23 through 2.29, the provisions of Sections 2.23 through 2.29
shall apply; provided, however, that any term, condition or
provision of any Application which is in addition to, or the subject matter of
which is not in, part of or covered by, the provisions of Sections 2.23 through
2.29 shall not be considered as being or deemed to be in conflict with or
inconsistent with the provisions of Sections 2.23 through 2.29.

SECTION 3.  REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into
this Agreement and to make the Loans and to issue or participate in Letters of
Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to each Agent and each
Lender that:

3.1   Financial Condition.  (a)  The unaudited pro  forma
consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as
at December 30, 2006 (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”), copies of which
have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, has been prepared giving effect
(as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the consummation of
the Acquisition, (ii) the Loans to be made hereunder, if any, on the
Restatement Date and the use of proceeds thereof and (iii) the payment of
fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing.  The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared
based on the best information available to the Borrower as of the date of
delivery thereof, and presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated
financial condition of Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at
December 30, 2006, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence
had actually occurred at such date.

 45

The unaudited statements of earnings before interest,
taxes and amortization of intangible assets for the Target for the fifty-two
week periods ending on each of December 31, 2005 (on a pro forma basis) and
December 30, 2006, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each
Lender, present fairly in all material respects the results of operations of
the Target as of the fifty-two week periods then ended.

(b)   The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower
as at January 3, 2004, January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2005, and the related
consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended
on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from
KPMG LLP, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower
as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its
consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended.  The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of
the Borrower as at December 30, 2006, and the related unaudited consolidated
statements of income and cash flows for the fifty-two week period ended on such
date, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of Borrower as at
such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated
cash flows for the fifty-two week period then ended (subject to normal year-end
audit adjustments).  All such financial
statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods
involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and
disclosed therein and subject, in the case of the financial statements as of
and for the period ended December 30, 2006, to normal year end audit
adjustments and the absence of notes). 
The Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not have any material Guarantee
Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term
leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including, without
limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction
or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the
most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph.  During the period from December 31, 2005, to
and including the date hereof there has been no Disposition by the Borrower of
any material part of its business or Property (other than any Disposition
permitted by Section 6.5).

3.2   No Change.  Since December 31, 2005, there has been no
development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

3.3   Corporate Existence; Compliance
with Law.  Each of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate
or business trust power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate
its Property, to lease the Property it operates as lessee and to conduct the
business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation or business trust and in good standing under the laws of each
jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct
of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance with all
Requirements of Law except, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (c)
and (d), to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.4   Corporate Power; Authorization;
Enforceable Obligations.  Each Loan
Party has the corporate or business trust power and authority, and the legal
right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party
and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow and obtain other extensions of
credit hereunder.  Each Loan Party has
taken all necessary

 46
 

corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery
and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case
of the Borrower, to authorize the borrowings and other extensions of credit on
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by
or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in
connection with the borrowings and other extensions of credit hereunder or with
the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i) consents,
authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 3.4, which consents,
authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full
force and effect, (ii) the filings referred to in Section 3.19 and (iii)
consents, notices and filings which the failure to make or obtain could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of
each Loan Party party thereto.  This
Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will
constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party thereto,
enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except
as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether
enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

3.5   No Legal Bar.  The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit,
borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any
Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of
any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any
Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens
created by the Security Documents).  No
Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable on the Restatement Date
to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.

3.6   No Material Litigation.  No litigation, investigation or proceeding of
or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the
knowledge the Borrower, threatened by or against the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with
respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

3.7   No Default.  Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual
Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.  No Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing.

3.8   Ownership of Property; Liens.  Each of the Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all
its real property, subject only to Liens and other matters permitted by Section
6.3, and good title to, or a valid leasehold or other property interest in, all
its other Property, and none of such Property is subject to any Lien except as
permitted by Section 6.3.

 47
 

3.9   Intellectual Property.  To the knowledge of the Borrower, the
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all
Intellectual Property necessary and material for the conduct of its business as
currently conducted.  To the knowledge of
the Borrower, except as indicated on Schedule 3.9, no material claim has been
asserted and is pending by any Person alleging that the use of any Intellectual
Property by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries infringes on the intellectual
property rights of any Person in any material respect nor does the Borrower
know of any valid basis for any such claim.

3.10   Taxes.  Each of the Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and other
material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown
to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or
any of its Property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or
any of its Property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or
validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have
been provided on the books of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may
be); and as of the Restatement Date no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such
tax, fee or other charge.

3.11   Federal Regulations.  No part of the proceeds of any Loans and no
Letters of Credit will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock”
within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U
as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that
violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board.  If requested by any Lender or the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and
each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the
requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1 referred to in Regulation U.

3.12   Labor Matters.  There are no strikes or other labor disputes
against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of
the Borrower, threatened that (individually or in the aggregate) could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Hours worked by and payment made to employees
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair
Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with
such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
All payments due from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on account
of employee health and welfare insurance that (individually or in the
aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if
not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower
or the relevant Subsidiary.

3.13   ERISA.  Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated
funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section
302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on
which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and
each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions
of ERISA and the Code.  No termination of
a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan
has arisen, during such five-year period. 
The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer
Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the
last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is
made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan

 48
 

allocable to such accrued benefits by more than
$10,000,000.  Neither the Borrower nor
any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from
any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to
result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any
Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA if
the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely
from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding
the date on which this representation is made or deemed made that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No such Multiemployer Plan is in
Reorganization or Insolvent as of the Restatement Date.

3.14   Investment Company Act; Other
Regulations.  No Loan Party is an “investment
company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  No Loan Party is subject to regulation under
any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the Board) which limits its
ability to incur Indebtedness.

3.15   Subsidiaries.  (a)  The Subsidiaries listed on
Schedule 3.15 constitute all the Subsidiaries of the Borrower at the date
hereof.  Schedule 3.15 sets forth as of
the Restatement Date the name and jurisdiction of incorporation of each
Subsidiary and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of
Capital Stock owned by any Loan Party.

(b)   Except as disclosed in the Borrower’s Registration
Statement on Form S-1, as amended, as filed on October 7, 2004 and as contained
in the Securities Holders Agreement, there are, as of the Restatement Date, no
outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements
or commitments (other than stock options granted to employees or directors and
directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of
the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

3.16   Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Tranche C Term Loans
shall be used by the Borrower to (i) consummate the Acquisition, (ii) repay in
full the Existing Term Loans that are not converting to Tranche C Term Loans on
the Restatement Date, and (iii) finance the working capital needs of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.  The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans
and the Swing Line Loans shall be used by the Borrower (i) to finance the
working capital needs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary
course of business, and (ii) for Permitted Acquisitions.  The Letters of Credit shall be used for the
working capital needs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

3.17   Environmental Matters.  Other than exceptions to any of the following
that could not, individually and in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect:

(a)  
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries:  (i)
are, and within the period of all applicable statutes of limitation have been,
in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; (ii) hold all
Environmental Permits (each of which is in full force and effect) required for
any of their current operations or for any property owned, leased, or otherwise
operated by any of them; (iii) are, and within the period of all applicable
statutes of limitation have been, in compliance with all of their

 49
 

Environmental Permits; and (iv) reasonably
believe that:  each of their
Environmental Permits will be timely renewed and complied with; any additional
Environmental Permits that may be required of any of them will be timely
obtained and complied with; and compliance with any Environmental Law that is
or is expected to become applicable to any of them will be timely attained and
maintained.

(b)  
Materials of Environmental Concern are not present at, on, under, in, or about
any real property now or, to the knowledge of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, formerly owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, at any
other location (including, without limitation, any location to which Materials
of Environmental Concern have been sent for re-use or recycling or for
treatment, storage, or disposal) which could reasonably be expected to (i) give
rise to liability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any
applicable Environmental Law or otherwise result in costs to the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) interfere with the Borrower’s or any of its
Subsidiaries’ continued operations.

(c)  
There is no judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding (including any
notice of violation or alleged violation) under or relating to any
Environmental Law to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is, or to
the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries will be, named as a
party that is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, threatened.

(d)  
Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written request
for information, or been notified that it is a potentially responsible party
under or relating to the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act or any similar Environmental Law, or with
respect to any Materials of Environmental Concern.

(e)  
Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into or agreed to
any consent decree, order, or settlement or other agreement, or is subject to
any judgment, decree, or order or other agreement, in any judicial, administrative,
arbitral, or other forum for dispute resolution, relating to compliance with or
liability under any Environmental Law.

(f)  
Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has assumed or retained, by
contract, any liabilities of any kind, fixed or contingent, known or unknown,
under any Environmental Law or with respect to any Material of Environmental
Concern.

3.18   Accuracy of Information, etc.  No written statement or written information
(other than projections and pro forma financial information) contained in this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document, certificate or
written statement furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any
of them, by or on behalf of any Loan Party for use in connection with the transactions
contemplated by or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate
was so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or
therein not misleading.  The

 50
 

projections and pro forma financial information
contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates
and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the
time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections and pro
forma financial information as it relates to future events are not to be viewed
as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such
projections and pro forma financial information may differ from the projected
and pro forma results set forth therein by a material amount.

3.19   Security Documents.  The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is
effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral
described therein and proceeds thereof. 
In the case of the Pledged Stock described in the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement, when any stock certificates representing such Pledged
Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent together with stock powers
endorsed to the Administrative Agent or in blank, and in the case of the other
Collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when financing
statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule
3.19(a)-1 as of the Restatement Date, (which financing statements have been
duly completed and delivered to the Administrative Agent) and such other
filings as are specified on Schedule 3 to the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement (all of which filings have been duly completed), the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security
interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such
Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as
defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each case prior and
superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other
than Pledged Stock, Liens permitted by Section 6.3).  Schedule 3.19(a)-2 lists each UCC Financing
Statement (other than any naming the Administrative Agent as secured party)
that (i) names any Loan Party as debtor and (ii) will remain on file after the
Restatement Date.

3.20   Solvency.  The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries
are, and after giving effect to the incurrence of all Indebtedness and
obligations being incurred in connection herewith and therewith will be and
will continue to be, Solvent.

3.21   Senior Indebtedness.  The Obligations constitute “Senior Debt” of
the Borrower under and as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note
Indenture.  The obligations of each
Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement constitute “Senior
Debt” of such Subsidiary Guarantor under and as defined in the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture.

under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such
Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be
applied to repay other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents.  After all such
Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all
Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations
of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been
paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be

SECTION
8.  THE AGENTS; THE ARRANGERS

8.1   Appointment.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and
appoints the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent of such Lender
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably
authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on
its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated
to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.   Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall
have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or
any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read
into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the
Administrative Agent.

8.2   Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of
its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through
agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of
counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care.

8.3   Exculpatory Provisions.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of
its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be
taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found
by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to
have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful
misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any
recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or
any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided
for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to
perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  The Administrative Agent shall not be under
any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or

 74
 

performance of any of the agreements contained in, or
conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the
properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

8.4   Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing,
resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or
teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed
by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the
proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel
(including, without limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent
accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat
the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written
notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed
with the Administrative Agent.  The
Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take
any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified
by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability
and expense (other than any liability or expense arising from its gross
negligence or willful misconduct) that may be incurred by it by reason of
taking or continuing to take any such action. 
The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so
specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders
and all future holders of the Loans and L/C Obligations.

8.5   Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed
to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a
Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or
Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent
receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to
the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent
shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as
shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by
this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative
Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it
shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

8.6   Non-Reliance
on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. 
Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent
nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact
or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act
by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the
affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any
Lender.  Each Lender represents to the
Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and
investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and
made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this
Agreement.  Each Lender

 75
 

also represents that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to
make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates.  Except for notices, reports and other
documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative
Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility
to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the
business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects
or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may
come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

8.7   Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by
the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so),
ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect
on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if
indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Credit
Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full,
ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately
prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without
limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to
or arising out of, the Revolving Credit Commitments, this Agreement, any of the
other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or
therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken
or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the
foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of
any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a
final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  The agreements in this
Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder.

8.8   Administrative Agent in Its
Individual Capacity.  The Person
serving as the Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to,
accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan
Party as though the Person serving as the Administrative Agent were not the
Administrative Agent hereunder.  With
respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of
Credit issued or participated in by it, the Person serving as the
Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though
it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders”
shall include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity.

8.9   Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign as
Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ written notice to the Lenders and the
Borrower.  If the Administrative Agent
shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other

 76
 

Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint
from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders, which
successor Administrative Agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section
7(a) or Section 7(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be
continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor Administrative
Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative
Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor
Administrative Agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the
former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent
shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of
such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any
holders of the Loans.  If no successor
Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the
date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of
resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless
thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the
duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for
above.  After any retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8
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 and the other Loan
Documents.

8.10   Authorization to Release Liens;
Other Actions Relating to Security Documents.  The Administrative Agent is hereby
irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to release any Lien covering any
Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is the subject of a
Disposition which is permitted by this Agreement or which has been consented to
in accordance with Section 9.1 of this Agreement.

8.11   The Arrangers; the Syndication
Agent.  None of the Arrangers or the
Syndication Agent, in their respective capacities as such, shall have any
duties or responsibilities, or incur any liability, under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents.

SECTION
9.  MISCELLANEOUS

9.1   Amendments and Waivers.  Neither this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, supplemented or
modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1.  Subject to the provisions of the immediately
following sentence, the Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the
relevant Loan Document may, or (with the written consent of the Required
Lenders) the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant
Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments,
supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents (including
amendments and restatements hereof or thereof) for the purpose of adding any
provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any
manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder
or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in the
instrument of waiver, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided,
however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or
modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final
scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, or reduce
the stated rate of any interest or fee payable

 77
 

hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment
thereof or modify the definition of Interest Period to permit an Interest
Period greater than six months in duration, or increase the amount or extend
the expiration date of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender, in each
case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) amend,
modify or waive any provision of this Section or reduce any percentage
specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or
transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the
Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their
guarantee obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each
case without the consent of all Lenders; (iii) amend, modify or waive any
provision of Section 8 without the consent of the Administrative Agent; (iv)
amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.16 without the consent of
each Lender directly affected thereby; (v) amend, modify, or waive any
provision of Sections 2.23 through 2.30 without the consent of the Issuing
Lenders, or of Section 2.4(b) or Section 2.5(b)-(f) without the consent of the
Swing Line Lender; (vi) extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit to a
date later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit
Termination Date without the consent of each Lender (including the Issuing
Lender) unless such Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized or
backstopped in a manner reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender or
(vii) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility
Lenders with respect to any Facility without the consent of all Lenders under
such Facility.  Any such waiver and any
such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the
Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans and L/C
Obligations.  In the case of any waiver,
the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to
their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not
continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.  Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or
modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties
required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided,
that delivery of an executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile
transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written
consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party
to each relevant Loan Document (x) to add one or more additional credit
facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time
to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect
thereof (collectively, the “Additional Extensions of Credit”) to share
ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the
Revolving Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect
thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit
facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders; provided, that  no Lender shall be required to make or
participate in such Additional Extensions of Credit without the consent of such
Lender in its sole discretion.

In addition to the foregoing, and notwithstanding the
first paragraph of this Section 10.1, this Agreement and any other Loan
Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the consent of the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing commitments
therefor, but without the consent of the other Lenders, to increase the
Revolving Credit Commitments (the “New Revolving Credit Commitments”) in
an aggregate principal

 78
 

amount of up to $30,000,000; so long as (i) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the
Borrower is in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants set forth in
Section 6.1 with respect to the most recently completed fiscal quarter for
which financial statements are then available. 
No Lenders will be required to commit to provide any portion of the New
Revolving Credit Commitments.  The
proceeds of the New Revolving Credit Commitments will be used for Permitted
Acquisitions or for general corporate purposes. 
On the date of effectiveness of any such New Revolving Credit
Commitments, each of the existing Lenders shall assign to each of the lenders
providing New Revolving Credit Commitments (the “New Lenders”) and each
of the New Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders, at the principal
amount therefor (together with accrued interest), such interests in the
Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such effective date as shall be necessary
in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such
Revolving Credit Loans will be held by existing Lenders and New Lenders ratably
in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to
the addition of the New Revolving Credit Commitments and each New Revolving
Credit Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit
Commitment and each Revolving Credit Loan made thereunder (a “New Revolving
Credit Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes to be a Revolving Credit
Loan and each New Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the New
Revolving Loan Commitment and all matters relating thereto.

9.2   Notices.  All notices, requests and demands to or upon
the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by
telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to

9.3   No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure to exercise and no delay in
exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right,
remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or
privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers
and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights,
remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

9.4   Survival of Representations and
Warranties.  All representations and
warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document,
certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of

9.5   Payment of Expenses.  The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse
the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Tranche C Term
Loan Commitments through the Restatement Date (other than fees payable to
syndicate members) and with the development, preparation and execution of, and

(b) to pay or reimburse each Lender including, without limitation, the Issuing
Lender and the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent for all their

of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other
documents, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel
(including the allocated fees and disbursements and other charges of in-house
counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent, (c) to pay,
and indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Administrative Agent from,
any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect
to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if
any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the
execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the
transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of,
or any waiver or consent

 80
 

under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, and indemnify and hold
harmless each Lender, each Agent, their respective affiliates, and their
respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents and
controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against, any and
all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance
and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such
other documents, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating
to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the use of the Letters of Credit or the
violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law
applicable to the operations of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of
the Properties and the fees and disbursements and other charges of legal
counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee
against the Borrower hereunder (all the foregoing in this clause (d),
collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the
Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to
Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by
a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee.  No Indemnitee, in the
absence of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, shall
be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of
information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or
other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such
persons.  Without limiting the foregoing,
and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to
assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and
agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution or
any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties,
fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind
or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have
by statute or otherwise against any indemnitee. 
All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 30
days after written demand therefor. 
Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be
submitted with reasonable supporting detail to the Borrower’s chief financial
officer, at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 9.2, or to such
other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a
written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each
Lender).  The agreements in this Section
shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.6   Successors and Assigns;
Participations and Assignments. 
(a)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future
holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that
the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted such assignment or
transfer without such consents shall be null and void).

(b)   Any Lender may, without the
consent of the Borrower, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to
one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”)
participating interests in any Revolving Credit Loan or Tranche C Term Loan
owing to such Lender, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or any
other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents.  In the event of any such sale
by a

 81
 

Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the
performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Revolving
Credit Loan or Tranche C Term Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation for all
purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with
such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any
right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document,
or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom and each Lender
shall retain the sole right to enforce any Loan Document and approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, except
that a selling Lender may agree that, without the Participant’s consent, such
selling Lender will not agree to any amendment, waiver or consent to any
provisions of the Loan Documents to the extent that such amendment, waiver or
consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or
Reimbursement Obligations or any fees payable hereunder, release all or
substantially all of the Collateral, release all or substantially all of the
Guarantors from their guarantee obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the Loans, in each
case to the extent subject to such participation.  The Borrower agrees that if amounts
outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared
or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating
interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the
amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender
under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating
interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the
Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 9.7(a) as fully as if it
were a Lender hereunder.  The Borrower
also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.17, 2.18 and 2.19 with respect to its participation in the Revolving Credit
Commitments and the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations outstanding from time
to time as if it were a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section
2.18, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section
and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to
receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor
Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the
participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no
such transfer occurred.

(c)   Any Lender (an “Assignor”)
may, in accordance with applicable law and upon written notice to the
Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or
any affiliate or Approved Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof or, with
the consent of each Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender, the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed), to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an “Assignee”)
all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to
an Assignment and Acceptance, executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and,
where the consent of the Borrower or any other Person is required pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and each such other Person) and
delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the
Register; provided that no such consent of the Issuing Lender or the
Swing Line Lender need be obtained with respect to any assignment of the
Tranche C Term Loans; provided that no such assignment to an

 82
 

Assignee (other than any Lender or any affiliate or Approved Fund
thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $3,000,000 with
respect to Revolving Credit Loans and $1,000,000 with respect to Tranche C Term
Loans (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests
under this Agreement), unless (i) otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent or (ii) such assignment is one of two or more assignments
being made simultaneously by or to affiliated Assignees or Approved Funds, the
sum of the aggregate principal amounts of which is at least $3,000,000 with
respect to Revolving Credit Loans and $1,000,000 with respect to Tranche C Term
Loans.  Upon such execution, delivery,
acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant
to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Revolving Credit Commitment
and/or Loans and other interests as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor
thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto except as
to Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.20 and 9.5 in respect of the period prior to such
effective date).  Notwithstanding any
provision of this Section, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required
for any assignment that occurs at any time when any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing.

(d)   The Administrative Agent
shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in
Section 9.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a
register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses
of the Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and principal amount of
the Revolving Extensions of Credit and Tranche C Term Loans owing to, each
Lender from time to time.  The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Revolving Extensions
of Credit, Tranche C Term Loans and any Notes evidencing the Loans recorded
therein for all purposes of this Agreement. 
Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be
effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the
Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide).  Any assignment or transfer of all or part of
a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon
surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing
such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon
one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to
the designated Assignee (to the extent requested by such designated Assignee),
and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower
marked “canceled”.  The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any
entry relating to such Lender’s Revolving Extensions of Credit and Tranche C
Term Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

(e)   Upon its receipt of an
Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any
case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 9.6(c), by
each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a
registration and processing fee of $3,500 payable by the Assignee thereof
(treating multiple, simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Approved
Funds as a single assignment) (except that no such registration and processing
fee shall be payable in the case of an Assignee which is

 83
 

an affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender, or a Person under common
management with such Lender), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly
accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined
pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and
give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower.  On or prior to such effective date, the
Borrower at its own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Notes of the assigning Lender) a new
Note to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit
Commitment and/or applicable Tranche C Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed
or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the
Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Tranche C Term
Loans, as the case may be, upon request, new Notes, as the case may be, to the
order of the Assignor in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment
and/or applicable Tranche C Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it
hereunder.  Such new Note or Notes shall
be dated the Restatement Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or
Notes replaced thereby.

(f)   For avoidance of doubt, the
parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section
concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments
and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security
interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender
of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable
law.

(g)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”),
identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower
all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be
obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided
that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make
any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise
fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be
obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) the
Granting Lender’s and the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement to the
other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, the Granting Lender
shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, and the Borrower,
the Lenders and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Granting Lender in connection with such Granting Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder
shall utilize the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Granting Lender to the
same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC
shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this
Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender).  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party
hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this
Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the
payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other indebtedness of
any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting
against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state
thereof.  In addition, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 9.6(g), any SPC may (A) with
notice to, but without the prior written

 84
 

consent of, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all
or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender, or with the
prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any financial institutions
providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to
support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose on a
confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any
rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or
credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided that non-public
information with respect to the Borrower may be disclosed only with the
Borrower’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld.  In the event that the consent
of all or any portion of the Lenders is required pursuant to any provision of
any Loan Document at a time when any Loan is held by any SPC, such SPC and the
Granting Lender that would otherwise have been obligated to make such Loan
shall agree between themselves as to which of them shall be entitled to grant
or withhold any consent applicable to such Loan, but such Granting Lender shall
communicate with the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as to the giving or
withholding of such consent, and the parties to the Loan Documents shall be
entitled to rely conclusively on the advice by such Granting Lender as to
whether such consent is being granted or withheld. This paragraph (g) may not be amended without the written consent of any
SPC with Loans outstanding at the time of such proposed amendment.

9.7   Adjustments; Set-off.  (a)  Except to the extent that this
Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender and
except to the extent that Section 2.22 of this Agreement provides for payments
to a substituted Lender, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at
any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or
receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the
nature referred to in Section 7(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than
any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in
respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall
purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such
portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, or shall provide such other
Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to
cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such
collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however,
that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter
recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the
purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but
without interest.

(b)   In addition to any rights and
remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without
prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the
Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming
due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such
amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any
currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or
agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application
made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall
not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

9.8   Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more
of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and
all of said counterparts

 85
 

taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and
the same instrument.  Delivery of an
executed signature page of this Agreement or of a Lender Addendum by facsimile
transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall
be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

9.9   Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability
in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction.

9.10   Integration.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Agents, the Arrangers and
the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there
are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Arrangers,
any Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof or thereof not
expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

9.11   GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS
AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

9.12   Submission To Jurisdiction;
Waivers.  The Borrower hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a)   submits for itself and its Property in any legal action
or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which
it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect
thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the
State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the
Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b)   consents that any such action or proceeding may be
brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter
have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that
such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not
to plead or claim the same;

(c)   agrees that service of process in any such action or
proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified
mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the
Borrower at its address set forth in Section 9.2 or at such other address of
which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d)   agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect
service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the
right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

 86
 

(e)   waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law,
any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding
referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential
damages.

9.13   Acknowledgments.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

(a)   it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation,
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b)   neither the Arrangers, any Agent nor any Lender has any
fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the
relationship between the Arrangers, the Agents and the Lenders, on the one
hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith
is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c)   no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan
Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby
among the Arrangers, the Agents and the Lenders or among the Borrower and the
Lenders.

9.14   Confidentiality.  Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to
keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party
pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by such Loan Party as
confidential; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Agent or
any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Arrangers, any
Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate or Approved Fund of any thereof, (b)
to any Participant, or Assignee, or pledgee of interests hereunder (each, a “Transferee”)
or prospective Transferee that agrees to comply with the provisions of this
Section, (c) to any of its employees, directors, trustees, agents, attorneys,
accountants and other professional advisors who are, or are expected to be,
engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering this Agreement
or otherwise on a “need-to-know basis” if reasonably incidental to the
administration of this Agreement (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (d) to any
financial institution that is a direct or indirect contractual counterparty in
swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so
long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such
contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section),
(e) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority (including,
without limitation, bank regulatory authorities) having jurisdiction over it,
(f) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority
(including, without limitation, bank regulatory authorities) or as may
otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (g) in connection
with any litigation or similar proceeding, (h) that has been publicly disclosed
other than in breach of this Section, (i) to the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally
recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s
investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such
Lender or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under
any other Loan Document.

9.15   Release of Collateral Security and
Guarantee Obligations. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, upon

 87
 

request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
shall (without notice to or vote or consent of any Lender) take action having
the effect of releasing any Collateral and/or guarantee obligations provided
for in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement to the extent necessary to permit
consummation, by the relevant Person in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, of any transaction not prohibited
hereunder.

9.16   Accounting Changes.  In the event that any “Accounting Change” (as
defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of
calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations in
order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect
such Accounting Change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating
the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting
Change as if such Accounting Change had not been made.  Until such time as such an amendment shall
have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this
Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting
Change had not occurred.  “Accounting
Change” refers to any change in accounting principles required by the
promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC.

9.17   Delivery of Lender Addenda.  Each initial Lender of Tranche C Term Loans

Agent a Lender Addendum duly executed by such Lender, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent.

TRIAL.  THE BORROWER, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS

COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
