Company so that the Company, as the surviving entity, will be a direct
wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Parent, (ii) each share of common stock of the
Parent will be converted into the right to receive cash and new common stock of
the Parent and (iii) each share of common stock of the Company will be converted
into one share of common stock of the Parent; (b) the Company has entered into
the Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the amended and
restated credit agreement dated as of April 12, 2006 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”,

$1,000,000,000 senior unsecured revolving credit facility on the terms set forth
herein; (d) the Company or the Parent will obtain $3,000,000,000 in cash
proceeds (before fees and original issue or market discount) from either (i) the
issuance of senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes”) in a public
offering or Rule 144A private placement or (ii) if the Company or the Parent, as
the case may be, is unable to issue the full amount of the Senior Notes on or
prior to the date (the “Closing
Date”) on which the Merger is consummated, a senior unsecured bridge term
loan facility dated as of the date hereof (the “Bridge Loan Facility”); and
(e) the Company or the Parent will enter into a new $3,000,000,000 senior
unsecured asset sale bridge revolving credit facility (“Asset Sale
Facility”).  This Agreement, the Bridge Loan Facility and the
Asset Sale Facility are sometimes herein referred to as the “New Credit Facilities.” The
New Credit Facilities together with the Amended Credit Agreement are sometimes
herein referred to as the “Credit

       “Adjusted LIBO Rate” means,
with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest
rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to
(a) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory
Reserve Rate.

       

      “Administrative Agent” means
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent for the
Lenders hereunder.

       

      “Administrative Questionnaire”
means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative

avoidance of doubt, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the
rate appearing on the Reuters BBA LIBOR Rates Page LIBOR01 (or on any successor
or substitute page of such page) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such
day.  Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the

        Article 2

        The Credits

         

        Section
2.01 .  Commitments.  Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make Loans
to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate
principal amount that will not result in such Lender’s Loan Exposure exceeding
such Lender’s Commitment.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and
reborrow Loans.

         

        Section
2.02 .  Loans and
Borrowings.  (a)  Each Loan shall
be made as part of a Borrowing made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with
their respective Commitments.  The failure of any Lender to make any
Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its
obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments
of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other
Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

         

        (b) Subject
to Section 2.11, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or
Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance
herewith.  Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by
causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such
Loan; provided that (i)
any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to
repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) in the
case of any such Loan made by an Affiliate of such Lender, such Lender shall not
be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14 than it
would have received had the Lender, and not such Affiliate, funded such Loan,
and such Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 with
respect to any payments on or with respect to such Loan unless such Affiliate
complies with Section 2.14(e) as if it were the Lender.

         

        (c) At the
commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000.  At the time that each ABR
Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000;  provided that an ABR
Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused
balance of the total Commitments.  Borrowings of more than one Type
may be outstanding at the same time.

         

        (d) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to
request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest
Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity
Date.

         

        Section
2.03 .  Requests for
Borrowings.  To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify
the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days
before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR
Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of the
proposed Borrowing.  Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be
irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the
Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in the form of Exhibit C
hereto and signed by the Borrower.  Each such telephonic and written
Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with
Section 2.02:

         

        (i) the
aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

         

        (ii) the date
of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

         

        (iii) whether
such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

         

        (iv) in the
case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable
thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term
“Interest Period;” and

         

        (v) the
location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be
disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section
2.04.

         

        If no
election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing
shall be an ABR Borrowing.  If no Interest Period is specified with
respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed
to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  Promptly
following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the
amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested
Borrowing.

         

        Section
2.04 .  Funding of
Borrowings.  (a)  Each Lender shall
make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire
transfer of immediately available funds by (x) in the case of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, 12:00 noon, New York City time and (y) in the case of an ABR
Borrowing, 3:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative
Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the
Lenders.  The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to
the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an
account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York
City and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing
Request.

         

        (b) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made
its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent,
then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available
to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at (i) in the case
of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the
Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans.  If such Lender
pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute
such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

         

        Section
2.05 .  Interest
Elections.  (a)  Each Borrowing
initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request
and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest
Period as specified in such Borrowing Request.  Thereafter, the
Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue
such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest
Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.  The Borrower may
elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected
Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the
Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising
each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

         

        (b) To make
an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing
Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a
Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective
date of such election.  Each such telephonic Interest Election Request
shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or
telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in
the form of Exhibit D hereto and signed by the Borrower.

         

        (c) Each
telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:

         

        (i) the
Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the
portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the
information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be
specified for each resulting Borrowing);

         

        (ii) the
effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request,
which shall be a Business Day;

         

        (iii) whether
the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
and

         

        (iv) if the
resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

         

        If any
such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not
specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected
an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

         

        (d) Promptly
following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent
shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of
each resulting Borrowing.

         

        (e) If the
Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a
Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto,
then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such
Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the
request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an
Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may
be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing without the prior consent
of the Required Lenders and (ii) unless repaid, each
Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the
Interest Period applicable thereto.

         

        Section
2.06 .  Termination and
Reduction of Commitments.  (a)  Unless previously
terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

         

        (b) The
Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the
Commitments; provided
that (i) each reduction of
the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000
and not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not
terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent
prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.08, the sum of the Loan
Exposures would exceed the total Commitments.

         

        (c) The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or
reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three
Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction,
specifying such election and the effective date thereof.  Promptly
following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the
Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of
termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such
notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in
which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such
condition is not satisfied.  Any termination or reduction of the
Commitments shall be permanent.  Each reduction of the Commitments
shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Commitments.

received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders
and each Lender’s share thereof.

         

        (d) The
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this
Section shall be prima
facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded
therein; provided that
the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts
or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the
Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

         

        (e) Any
Lender may request, through the Administrative Agent, that Loans made by it be
evidenced by a promissory note.  In such event, the Borrower shall
prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender through the Administrative Agent a
promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such
Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent (each such promissory note, a “Note”).  Thereafter,
the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all

specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or
portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of
prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of
the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.06, then such notice of prepayment
may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with
Section 2.06.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating
to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
contents thereof.  Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be
in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of
the same Type as provided in Section 2.02.  Each prepayment of a
Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid
Borrowing.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to
the extent required by Section 2.10.

         

        Section
2.09 .  Fees.  (a)  The Borrower
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a
facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Facility Fee Rate on the
daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during
the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of
(i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of termination of the Commitments in
their entirety; provided that, if such Lender
continues to have any Loan Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such
facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Loan
Exposure from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but
excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Loan
Exposure.  Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the
last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on
which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur
after the date hereof; provided that any facility
fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable
on demand.  All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day).  To the extent
that there is a change in the Applicable Facility Fee Rate during any quarter
period, the daily amount of the Commitment of each Lender (whether used or
unused) shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Facility Fee Rate
separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Facility Fee
Rate was in effect.

         

        (b) The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees
payable in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee
Letter.

         

        (c) All fees
payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available
funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of facility
fees, to the Lenders.  Fees paid shall not be refundable under any
circumstances.

         

        Section
2.10 .  Interest.  (a)  The Loans
comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin.

         

        (b) The Loans
comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO
Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable
Margin.

         

        (c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other
amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated
maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear
interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue
principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as
provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other
amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of
this Section.

         

        (d) Accrued
interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any
repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan
prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal
amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or
prepayment and (iii) in
the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the
current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable
on the effective date of such conversion.

         

        (e) All
interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except
that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the
Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of
a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).  The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted
LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

         

        Section
2.11 .  Alternate Rate of
Interest.  If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period
for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

         

        (a) the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

         

        (b) the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO
Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for
such Interest Period;

         

        then the
Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders
by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective
and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

         

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

         

        (i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO
Rate); or

         

        (ii) impose on
any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this
Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;

         

        and the
result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of
making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to
make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by
such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred
or reduction suffered.

         

        (b) If any
Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or
on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of
this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which
such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such
Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies
of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from
time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered.

         

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

         

        (d) Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such
compensation; provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior
to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to
claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.

         

        Section
2.13 .  Break Funding
Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal
of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, (c) the failure
to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified
in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may
be revoked under Section 2.08(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or
(d) the assignment of any
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then,
in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost
and expense attributable to such event.  In the case of a Eurodollar
Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an
amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which
would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not
occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such
Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then
current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for
such Loan), over (ii) the
amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period
at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the
commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and
period from other banks in the eurodollar market.  A certificate of
any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to
receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender
the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt
thereof.

         

        Section
2.14 .  Taxes.  (a)  Any and all
payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction
for any Taxes unless deduction of such Taxes is required by law (or by the
interpretation or administration thereof); provided that if the Borrower
shall be required by law (or by the interpretation or administration thereof) to
deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be
increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions of such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including deductions of such Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14(a))
the Administrative Agent or any Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions of such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make
such deductions of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.

         

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

         

        (c) The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30
days after written demand therefor, which written demand shall be made within 60
days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender received written demand
for payment of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from the relevant
Governmental Authority, for the full amount of such Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes properly imposed or asserted
on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14(c)) paid by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties,
interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto. A certificate setting forth the amount of such payment or liability
and, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount shall have been
determined, delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative
Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be presumptive evidence
of such payment or liability absent manifest error.

         

        (d) As soon
as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the
Borrower to any Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.

         

        (e) Each
Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or
before the date such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement and on or
before the date, if any, such Foreign Lender changes its Applicable Lending
Office (i) two duly
executed and properly completed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI or W-8BEN
(with respect to the benefit of an income tax treaty), or successor forms,
certifying to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from
United States withholding tax with respect to all payments to be made to it
under the Loan Documents, or (ii) if such Foreign Lender is
not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, either (x)
the forms referred to in clause (i) above certifying to such Foreign Lender’s
entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with
respect to all payments to be made to it under the Loan Documents, or (y) two
duly executed and properly completed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN (or
successor forms) and a duly executed certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit E (any such certificate, a “Section 2.14(e) Certificate”);
provided that in the
event that a Foreign Lender is not classified as a corporation for United States
federal income tax purposes, such Foreign Lender shall take any actions
necessary and shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent all
additional (or alternative) Internal Revenue Service forms and Section 2.14(e)
Certificates necessary to fully establish such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to a
complete exemption from United States withholding tax on all payments to be made
to it under the Loan Documents (including causing its partners, members,
beneficiaries or owners, or their beneficial owners, to take any actions and
deliver any Internal Revenue Service forms and Section 2.14(e) Certificates
necessary to establish such exemption). In addition, each Foreign Lender shall
deliver such Internal Revenue Service forms and the Section 2.14(e) Certificate
(as applicable) to the Company, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
promptly upon the obsolescence, inaccuracy or invalidity of any such Internal
Revenue Service forms or Section 2.14(e) Certificate previously delivered by
such Foreign Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14(e) unless such Foreign Lender
is not legally able to deliver such Internal Revenue Service forms or Section
2.14(e) Certificate.

         

        (f) Each
Lender agrees that, before making a demand under this Section 2.14, it shall use
reasonable efforts (consistent with its legal and regulatory restrictions) to
designate a different Applicable Lending Office or assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates if the
making of such a designation or assignment will avoid the need for, or reduce
the amount of, any additional amounts that would otherwise thereafter accrue and
will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, require such Lender to
incur a cost or expense, or legal or regulatory disadvantage, determined by such
Lender to be material. Upon any such change in any Applicable Lending Office or
assignment, such Lender shall provide or cause to be provided to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower the appropriate form specified in Section
2.14(e).

         

        (g) If the
Borrower pays any additional amount or indemnity payment pursuant to this
Section 2.14 with respect to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the
Administrative Agent or such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a
refund of tax or credit against its tax liabilities on account of such payment;
provided that the
Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have no obligation to use such
reasonable efforts if either (i) it is in an excess foreign
tax credit position, (ii)
it believes in good faith, in its sole discretion, that claiming a refund or
credit would cause adverse tax consequences to it or (iii) no such refund or credit
is available under applicable laws. In the event that the Administrative Agent
or such Lender receives such a refund or credit, the Administrative Agent or
such Lender shall promptly pay to the Borrower an amount that the Administrative
Agent or such Lender reasonably determines is equal to the net tax benefit
obtained by the Administrative Agent or such Lender as a result of such payment
by the Borrower. Nothing contained in this Section 2.14(g) shall require the
Administrative Agent or such Lender to disclose or detail the basis of its
calculation of the amount of any net tax benefit or its determination referred
to in the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 2.14(g) to the Borrower
or any other party.

         

        (h) Should a
Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required
hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably
request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes; provided that, in the
reasonable judgment of the Borrower, such steps shall not subject the Borrower
to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous
to the Borrower in any material respect.

         

        Section
2.15 .  Payments Generally; Pro
Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.  (a)  The Borrower
shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.12, 2.13 or
2.14, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when
due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or
counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may,
in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received
on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest
thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent
at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except that payments
pursuant to Section 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 or 9.03 shall be made directly to the
Persons entitled thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute
any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the
appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.  If any
payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for
payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case
of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the
period of such extension.  All payments hereunder shall be made in
dollars.

         

        (b) If at any
time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due
hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of
interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto
in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties and
(ii) second, towards
payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled
thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such
parties.

         

        (c) If any
Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans
resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion
received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion
shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other
Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall
be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of
principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations
are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this
paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower
pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to
the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions
of this paragraph shall apply).  The Borrower consents to the
foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable
law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation.

         

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

         

        (e) If any
Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.04(b), 2.15(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts
thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender
to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such
unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

         

        Section
2.16 .  Mitigation Obligations;
Replacement of Lenders.  (a)  If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.12, then such Lender shall use reasonable
efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans
hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 in the future and (ii) would not subject such
Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.

         

        (b) If any
Lender (i) requests
compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to make a
payment to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any
Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) becomes a Defaulting
Lender, or (iii) refuses
to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document
requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater percentage of
the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other
modification is consented to by the Required Lenders; then the Borrower may, at
its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative
Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04, with
the Borrower or the replacement Lender paying the processing and recording fee),
all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee
that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a
Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (w) the
Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent to such assignment (to the extent such consent would otherwise be required
pursuant to Section 9.04 or the definition of “Eligible Assignees”), which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (x) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder,
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) (in the
case of a Defaulting Lender, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any amount
to which such Defaulting Lender is not entitled in accordance with Section
2.17), (y) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in or elimination of
such compensation or payments in the future and (z) in the case of clause (iii)
above, such assignee consents to such amendment, waiver or other
modification.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such
Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply.

         

        Section
2.17 .  Defaulting
Lender.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following
provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting
Lender:

         

        (a) for so
long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, fees under Section 2.09(a) shall not
accrue on the unused Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; and

         

        (b) neither the Commitment nor the Loans of
such Defaulting Lender shall be included in determining whether all Lenders, all
affected Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action
hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to
Section 9.02); provided
that any waiver, amendment
or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender
which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders
shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; provided
further that no waiver,
amendment or modification of the type described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of
the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) may be made without the written
consent of any Defaulting Lender affected thereby.

         

        The
Administrative Agent shall provide to any Lender determined by the
Administrative Agent to be a “Defaulting Lender” written notice of such
determination (and shall provide a copy of such written notice to the
Borrower).

         

        Section
2.18 .  Borrower
Designation.  The Company and the Parent may elect to designate
the Parent to be the “Borrower” hereunder by executing and delivering to the
Administrative Agent, not later than 10 Business Days (or such shortened period
as the Administrative Agent may agree) prior to the Availability Date (a)
documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
which (i) the Parent expressly assumes all obligations of the Borrower hereunder
and (ii) the Company becomes a Guarantor of the Parent’s obligations as Borrower
hereunder and (b) such certificates and opinions of counsel with respect thereto
(which shall be consistent with such documentation deliverable by the Company
pursuant to Section 4.01) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request,
all of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent.  Subject to delivery of such items as aforesaid, with effect
from the Availability Date, (a) the Parent shall be the Borrower for all
purposes hereunder and shall have all the rights and obligations of the Borrower
hereunder (including being entitled to borrow Loans subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement) and (b) the Company shall be a “Guarantor” for all
purposes hereunder and shall have all of the rights and obligations of a
Guarantor hereunder.  The Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent
may make such technical or conforming changes to the terms of the Loan Documents
as it shall deem necessary to effect the foregoing.  The
Administrative Agent shall provide prompt written notice to the Lenders of any
election made by the Company and the Parent pursuant to this Section
2.18.

        Representations
and Warranties

         

        On the
Effective Date, on the Availability Date and (subject to the limitations in
Section 4.02) on the date of each Borrowing hereunder, each Credit Party
represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
that:

         

        Section
3.01 .  Organization; Corporate
Power and Authority.  Each Credit Party (a) is duly incorporated,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization, (b) has all
necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnership power and
authority to own and operate all of its material Property, to lease the material
Property which it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is
currently engaged and (c)
is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or
partnership and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the
ownership, lease or operation by it of its Property or the conduct of its
business requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to

        THEREUPON:
(1) in the case of an Event of Default other than an Event of Default of the

        ARTICLE

        The
Administrative Agent

         

        Each of
the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent
and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and
to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the
terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.

         

        The bank
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and
powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same
as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates
may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliate thereof
as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

         

        The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or
other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is
required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set
forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and
shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the
bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action
taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary
under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent
shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written
notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender,
and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii)
the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms
or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness
or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or
document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or
elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to
be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

         

        The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.  The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by
telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not
incur any liability for relying thereon.  The Administrative Agent may
consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such
counsel, accountants or experts.

         

        The
Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights
and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent
may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through
their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of the
preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to
their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative
Agent.

         

        Subject
to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as
provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by
giving at least fifteen days advance written notice thereof to the Lenders and
the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall
have the right to appoint a successor, which successor shall be approved by the
Borrower (such approval (x) not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (y)
not to be required following the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default; provided that during the
continuance of an Event of Default, such appointment shall be made in
consultation with the Borrower).  If no successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an
office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.  Upon
the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and
the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a
successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor.  After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder,
the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the
benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

         

        Each
Lender acknowledges 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 credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges
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 from
time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or
not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document,
any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder.

        (iii) if to any

Administrative Questionnaire.

         

        (b) Notices
and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished
by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the
Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing
shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article 2 unless otherwise agreed by the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender.  The Administrative
Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other
communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to
procedures approved by it; provided that approval of
such procedures may be limited to particular notices or

communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.  All
notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date

        Section
9.02 .  Waivers;
Amendments.  (a)  No failure or
delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power
under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
power.  The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any
provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Credit Party
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making
of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of
whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge
of such Default at the time.

         

        (b) No Loan
Document (other than the Fee Letter) nor any provision thereof may be waived,
amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such
agreement shall (i)
increase  the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of
such Lender, (ii) reduce
the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or
reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender
affected thereby, (iii)
postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or
any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of,
waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration
of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,
(iv) change Section
2.15(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments
required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions
of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision
hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend
or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent
hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; or (vi) release any Affiliate
Guarantee, (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any release pursuant to
Section 10.04(c) which shall occur in accordance with the terms of such Section
10.04(c)) without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such
agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent; and provided further that the
Administrative Agent may, with the written consent of the Borrower but without
the consent of any other Lender, amend, modify or supplement the Loan Documents
(i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such
amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of
any Lender, (ii) to reflect any change in the Company’s and the Parent’s name
occurring on or prior to the Closing Date and (iii) as contemplated by the final
sentence of Section 2.18.

         

        Section
9.03 .  Expenses; Indemnity;
Damage Waiver.  (a)  The Borrower
shall pay (i) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel
for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan
Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated) and (ii) all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or
protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its
rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made, including all
such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans; provided that the Borrower
shall not be required to reimburse the legal fees and expenses of more than one
outside counsel (in addition to any special counsel and up to one local counsel
in each applicable local jurisdiction) for all Persons indemnified under this
clause(a) unless, (w) in the written opinion of outside counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, representation of all
such indemnified persons would be inappropriate due to the existence of an
actual or potential conflict of interest; (x) the Administrative Agent or any
such Lender shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses
available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the
other indemnified persons; (y) the Administrative Agent or any such Lender shall
have reasonably concluded that it otherwise has interests divergent from those
of the indemnified persons; or (z) the Borrower shall authorize in writing the
Administrative Agent or any such Lender to employ separate counsel at the
Borrower’s expense.

         

        (b) The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against,
and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result, of (i) the execution or delivery of
the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the
performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or
the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated
thereby, (ii) any Loan or
the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged
presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any Property owned or
operated by any member of the Credit Group, or any Environmental Liability
related in any way to any member of the Credit Group or (iv) any actual or prospective
claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result
from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other member of the Credit Group
against any Indemnitee for material breach of such Indemnitee’s express
obligations hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any failure by
such Indemnitee to comply with its obligation to fund any portion of its Loans
as required hereby) or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such
other member of the Credit Group has obtained a final and non-appealable
judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction.

         

        (c) To the
extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to
the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender
severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense
or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related
expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; and provided further that any
such payment by any Lender shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations pursuant
to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section.

         

        (d) To the
extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan
Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions,
any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

         

        (e) All
amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand
therefor.

         

        Section
9.04 .  Successors and
Assigns.  (a)  The provisions of
this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that
(i) the Borrower may not
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or
transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with
this Section.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall
be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent
provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

         

        (b) (i)  Subject to the
conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or
more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the
time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld) of:

         

        (A) the
Borrower; provided that
no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, any other assignee; and

         

        (B) the
Administrative Agent.

         

        (ii) Assignments
shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

         

        (A) each
assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee;

         

        (B) except in
the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment
or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall
not be less than $10,000,000 (or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise
consent; provided that
no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing;

         

        (C) each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

         

        (D) the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500; and

         

        (E) the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more
credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain
material non-public information about the Credit Group) will be made available
and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s
compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state
securities laws.

         

        For the
purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the
following meaning:

         

        “Approved Fund” means any
Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing,
holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the
ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a
Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an
entity that administers or manages a Lender.

         

        (iii) Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of
the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender
thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12,
2.13, 2.14 and 9.03).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section.

         

        (iv) The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of
the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and the principal amount of the Loans owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

         

        (v) Upon its
receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire
(unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and
recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written
consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the
assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required
to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b),
2.15(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept
such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the
Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together
with all accrued interest thereon.  No assignment shall be effective
for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as
provided in this paragraph.

         

        (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the
consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one
or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a
portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (C) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement
or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the
first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such
Participant.  Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(c) as though it were a
Lender.

         

        (ii) A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
2.12 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with
respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the
participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written
consent.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a
Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless the Borrower
is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.14(e) as
though it were a Lender.

         

        (d) Any
Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender,
including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or
assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge
or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto.

         

        Section
9.05 .  Survival.  All
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower
herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with
or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon
by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the
Loan Documents and the making of any Loans regardless of any investigation made
by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is
extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the
Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of
Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 and Article 8 shall survive and remain in
full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination
of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision
hereof.

         

        Section
9.06 .  Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each
of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of
this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.

         

        Section
9.07 .  Severability.  Any
provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not
invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

         

        Section
9.08 .  Right of
Set-off.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such
Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party
against any of and all the obligations of such Credit Party now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or
not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although
such obligations may be unmatured.  The rights of each Lender under
this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

         

        Section
9.09 .  Governing Law;
Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.  (a)  This Agreement
shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of
New York; provided that
with respect to whether an Availability Date Material Adverse Effect shall have
occurred, and claims relating thereto, such matters shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey.

         

        (b) Each
Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
Property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of
New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of
the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in
any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or,
to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this
Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may
otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document
against any Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.

         

        (c) Each
Credit Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph
(b) of this Section.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such
court.

         

        (d) Each
party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section
9.01.  Nothing in any Loan Document will affect the right of
any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by
law.

         

        Section
9.10 .  WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT,
TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK
TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER
PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

         

        Section
9.11 .  Headings.  Article
and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience
of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the
construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this
Agreement.

         

        Section
9.12 .  Confidentiality.  Each
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to
its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including
accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority; provided that, except with
respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or by any
governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory
authority, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall use
reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Borrower of such disclosure (unless
such disclosure is not legally permissible), (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,
(d) to any other party to
this Agreement, (e) in
connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder,
(f) subject to an
agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section,
to (i) any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction, or any
actual or prospective credit insurance provider, relating to the Borrower and
its obligations, (g) with
the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such
Information (i) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than the Borrower.  For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all
information received from the Borrower relating to the Credit Group or its
business, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of
information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information
is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any
Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in
this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so
if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information.

         

        Section
9.13 .  USA PATRIOT
Act.  Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the
USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001))
(the “PATRIOT Act”) hereby notifies the
Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which
information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information
that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the
PATRIOT Act.

         

        ARTICLE
10

        Affiliate
Guarantees

         

        Section
10.01 .  Affiliate
Guarantees.  Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees the full
and punctual payment when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or
otherwise) of the principal of and interest on any and all Loans and all other
amounts whatsoever from time to time owing to the Lenders or the Administrative
Agent or any of them by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Guaranteed
Obligations”).  Upon failure by the Borrower to pay any
Guaranteed Obligation punctually when due, each Guarantor shall forthwith on
demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in
the relevant Loan Documents; provided that, in the case of
any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, the same will be punctually paid in full when due (whether at
extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of
such extension or renewal.

         

        Section
10.02 .  Affiliate Guarantees
Unconditional.  The obligations of each Guarantor under its
Affiliate Guarantee shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise
affected by:

         

        (a) any
extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any
obligation of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person under any
Loan Document, by operation of law or otherwise;

         

        (b) any
modification or amendment of or supplement to any Loan Document;

         

        (c) any
release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect
security for any obligation of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other
Person under any Loan Document;

         

        (d) any
change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower, any
other Guarantor or any other Person or any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any other Person or any of their assets or any resulting release or
discharge of any obligation of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other
Person under any Loan Document;

         

        (e) the
existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that such Guarantor may have at
any time against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any Lender or any other
Person, whether in connection with the Loan Documents or with any unrelated
transactions; provided
that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate
suit or compulsory counterclaim;

         

        (f) any
invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any other Person for any reason of any Loan Document, or any
provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment of
any Guaranteed Obligation by the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other
Person; or

         

        (g) any other
act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any other
Guarantor, any other party to any Loan Document, any Lender or any other Person,
or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this
clause (g), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to any
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

         

        Section
10.03 .  Limitation on
Obligations of Subsidiary Guarantor.  If any Guarantor (other
than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company in its capacity as a Guarantor) is
a Subsidiary of Parent (such Guarantor a “Subsidiary Guarantor”), the
obligation of such Guarantor under its Affiliate Guarantee shall be limited to
an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such
Affiliate Guarantee subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any other applicable
law.

         

        Section
10.04 .  Release of Affiliate
Guarantees.  (a)  Each Guarantor’s
obligations under this Article 10 shall, subject to clause (c) below, remain in
full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in
full  (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which
no claims have been asserted) and no Lender shall have any Commitment under this
Agreement.

         

        (b)  If
at any time any payment of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must be
otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization
of the Borrower or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with
respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due
but not made at such time.

         

        (c) If it
shall come to pass that any Subsidiary Guarantor is a guarantor neither with
respect to any other Credit Facility nor with respect to the Senior Notes, or
any Subsidiary Guarantor shall cease to be a Subsidiary of the Parent, or all
the assets of a Subsidiary Guarantor are sold to a Person other than (i) prior to the Availability
Date, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) from the Availability Date,
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, in a transaction not otherwise
prohibited by this Agreement (any such sale, a “Sale of Guarantor”), such
Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its Affiliate
Guarantee and the Administrative Agent shall, at the Borrower’s expense, execute
and deliver such documents as the Borrower shall reasonably require to evidence
such release.  Such release shall not require the consent of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall be fully
protected in relying on a certificate of the Borrower or Parent as to whether
the foregoing conditions are satisfied.

         

        (d) Each of
the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to release any
Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Affiliate Guarantee in
accordance with the terms of this Section 10.04.

         

        Section
10.05 .  Waiver by
Guarantors.  Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance
hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as
well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person
against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person.

         

        Section
10.06 .  Subrogation.
Upon making full payment with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation
hereunder, each Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against
the Borrower with respect to such payment; provided that the Guarantor
shall not enforce any payment by way of subrogation against the Borrower unless
all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent
indemnification obligations as to which no claims have been asserted) and no
Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder.

         

        Section
10.07 .  Stay of
Acceleration.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any
Guaranteed Obligation is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, all such Guaranteed Obligations
otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any Loan Document shall
nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the
Administrative Agent.

         

        Section
10.08 .  Continuing
Guarantee.  Each Affiliate Guarantee is a continuing guarantee,
shall be binding on the relevant Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and
shall be enforceable by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.  If
all or part of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s interest in any
Guaranteed Obligation is assigned or otherwise transferred, the transferor’s
rights under each Affiliate Guarantee, to the extent applicable to the
obligation so transferred, shall automatically be transferred with such
obligation.

         

        Section
10.09 .  Addition of
Guarantors.  Any Affiliate of the Borrower may become a party
hereto as a Guarantor and Credit Party by signing and delivering to the
Administrative Agent a Guarantor Joinder Agreement, together with such
certificates and opinions of counsel with respect thereto as the Administrative
Agent may reasonably request, all of which shall be in customary form reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            
            

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly
executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first

& Co., Inc., certain Designated Borrowers (if any), certain lenders parties
thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such

herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit

of Foreign Lender] (the “Lender”) hereby certifies
that:

                  The

      Loans and Commitments (the “Interest”) in respect of
      which it is providing this
certificate.

                  The
      Lender is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code,
      including that the Lender is not subject to regulatory or other legal
      requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction and has not been treated as a
      bank for purposes of any tax, securities law or other filing or submission
      made to any Governmental Authority, any application made to a rating
      agency or qualification for any exemption from tax, securities law or
      other legal requirements.

                  The
      Lender meets all of the requirements under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the
      Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder to be eligible for a
      complete exemption from withholding of United States federal income tax on
      interest payments made to it under the Loan Documents, including without
      limitation, that it is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of
      Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Company and amounts received by
      it pursuant to the Loan Documents are not effectively connected with its
      conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

                  The
      Lender shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent if
      any of the certifications made herein are no longer true and
      correct.

Reserve Rate.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent for the
Lenders hereunder.

the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000.  At the time that each ABR

        (d)           Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to

the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone b) in the case of a Eurodollar

Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in the form of Exhibit C
hereto and signed by the Borrower.  Each such telephonic and written
Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with
Section 2.02:

         

        (i)                 the
aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

         

        (ii)                 the
date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

         

        (iii)                 whether
such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable

        If no
election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing
shall be an ABR Borrowing.  If no Interest Period is specified with
respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed
to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  Promptly
following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the
amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested
Borrowing.

         

        Section

Borrowing, 3:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative
Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the
Lenders.  The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to
the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an
account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York
City and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing
Request.

         

        (b)           Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In
such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and
the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at i) in the case of
such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation or ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate
applicable to ABR Loans.  If such Lender pays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan
included in such Borrowing.

         

        Section
2.05.  Interest
Elections.  (a)  Each Borrowing
initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request
and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest
Period as specified in such Borrowing Request.  Thereafter, the
Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue
such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest
Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.  The Borrower may
elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected
Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the
Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising
each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

         

        (b)           To
make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing
Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a
Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective
date of such election.  Each such telephonic Interest Election Request
shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or
telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in
the form of Exhibit D hereto and signed by the Borrower.

         

        (c)           Each
telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:

Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the
portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the
information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be
specified for each resulting Borrowing);

         

        (ii)                 the

        (iii)                 whether
the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
and

         

        (iv)                 if
the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

         

        If any
such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not
specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected
an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

         

        (d)           Promptly
following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent
shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of
each resulting Borrowing.

         

        (e)           If
the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to
a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of
such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the
request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an
Event of Default is continuing i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to
or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing without the prior consent of the Required
Lenders and ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to
an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto.

integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and ii) the
Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect
to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.08, the
sum of the Loan Exposures would exceed the total Commitments.

         

        (c)           The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or
reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section or any required
reduction of the Commitments under Section 2.19 at least three Business Days
prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such
election and the effective date thereof.  Promptly following receipt
of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents
thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this
Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of
optional termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that
such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in
which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such
condition is not satisfied.  Any termination or reduction of the
Commitments shall be permanent.  Each reduction of the Commitments
shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Commitments.

         

        Section
2.07.  Repayment of
Loans; Evidence of Debt.  (a)  The Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Maturity
Date.

         

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

         

        (c)           The
Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record i) the
amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the 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)
the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the
account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

         

        (d)           The
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this
Section shall be prima
facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded
therein; provided that
the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts
or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the
Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

         

        (e)           Any
Lender may request, through the Administrative Agent, that Loans made by it be
evidenced by a promissory note.  In such event, the Borrower shall
prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender through the Administrative Agent a
promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such
Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent (each such promissory note, a “Note”).  Thereafter,
the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all
times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by
one or more Notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein
(or, if such Note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered
assigns).

         

        Section
2.08.  Optional
Prepayment of Loans; Prepayment Notices. (a)  The Borrower
shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing
in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of
this Section.

         

        (b)           The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone of any optional or
mandatory prepayment hereunder i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, not later than 11:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days
before the date of prepayment and ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR
Borrowing, not later than 11:30 a.m., New York City time, on the date of
prepayment.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify
the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion
thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of
prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of
the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.06, then such notice of prepayment
may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with
Section 2.06.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating
to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
contents thereof.  Each optional partial prepayment of any Borrowing
shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a
Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02.  Each
prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the
prepaid Borrowing.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued
interest to the extent required by Section 2.10.

         

        Section
2.09.  Fees.  (a)  The Borrower
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a
facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Facility Fee Rate on the
daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during
the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of
(i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of termination of the Commitments in
their entirety; provided that, if such Lender
continues to have any Loan Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such
facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Loan
Exposure from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but
excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Loan
Exposure.  Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the
last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on
which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur
after the date hereof; provided that any facility
fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable
on demand.  All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day).  To the extent
that there is a change in the Applicable Facility Fee Rate during any quarter
period, the daily amount of the Commitment of each Lender (whether used or
unused) shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Facility Fee Rate
separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Facility Fee
Rate was in effect.

         

        (b)           The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account fees
payable in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee
Letter.

         

        (c)           All
fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available
funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of facility
fees, to the Lenders.  Fees paid shall not be refundable under any
circumstances.

         

        Section
2.10.  Interest.  (a)  The Loans
comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin.

         

        (b)           The
Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted
LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the
Applicable Margin.

         

        (c)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other
amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated
maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear
interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to i) in
the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable
to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or ii) in
the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as
provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

         

        (d)           Accrued
interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest
accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand
(ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a
prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued
interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date
of such repayment or prepayment and (iii)  in the event of any conversion
of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor,
accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such
conversion.

         

        (e)           All
interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except
that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the
Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of
a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).  The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted
LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

         

        Section
2.11.  Alternate
Rate of Interest.  If prior to the commencement of any Interest
Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

         

        (a)           the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

         

        (b)           the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO
Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for
such Interest Period;

         

        then the
Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders
by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective
and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

         

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

         

        (i)                 impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO
Rate); or

         

        (ii)                 impose
on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this
Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;

         

        and the
result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of
making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to
make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by
such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred
or reduction suffered.

         

        (b)           If
any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has
or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital
or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of
this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which
such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such
Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies
of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from
time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered.

         

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

         

        (d)           Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such
compensation; provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior
to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to
claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.

         

        Section
2.13.  Break Funding
Payments.  In the event of (i) the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (ii) the conversion of any
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, n) the failure to
borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in
any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be
revoked under Section 2.08(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or
(iii) the assignment of
any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then,
in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost
and expense attributable to such event.  In the case of a Eurodollar
Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an
amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (1) the amount of interest which
would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not
occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such
Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then
current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for
such Loan), over (2) the
amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period
at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the
commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and
period from other banks in the eurodollar market.  A certificate of
any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to
receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender
the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt
thereof.

         

        Section
2.14.  Taxes.  (a)  Any and all
payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction
for any Taxes unless deduction of such Taxes is required by law (or by the
interpretation or administration thereof); provided that if the Borrower
shall be required by law (or by the interpretation or administration thereof) to
deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (1) the sum payable shall be
increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions of such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including deductions of such Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14(a))
the Administrative Agent or any Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions of such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes been made, (2) the Borrower shall make such
deductions of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, and (3) the Borrower shall pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.

         

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

         

        (c)           The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30
days after written demand therefor, which written demand shall be made within 60
days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender received written demand
for payment of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from the relevant
Governmental Authority, for the full amount of such Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes properly imposed or asserted
on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14(c)) paid by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties,
interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto. A certificate setting forth the amount of such payment or liability
and, in reasonable detail, the manner in which such amount shall have been
determined, delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative
Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be presumptive evidence
of such payment or liability absent manifest error.

         

        (d)           As
soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the
Borrower to any Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.

         

        (e)           Each
Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or
before the date such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement and on or
before the date, if any, such Foreign Lender changes its Applicable Lending
Office ii) two duly executed and properly completed Internal Revenue Service
Forms W-8ECI or W-8BEN (with respect to the benefit of an income tax treaty), or
successor forms, certifying to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to a complete
exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to all payments to be
made to it under the Loan Documents, or iii) if such Foreign Lender is not a
“bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, either (x) the
forms referred to in clause (i) above certifying to such Foreign Lender’s
entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with
respect to all payments to be made to it under the Loan Documents, or (y) two
duly executed and properly completed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN (or
successor forms) and a duly executed certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit E (any such certificate, a “Section 2.14(e) Certificate”);
provided that in the
event that a Foreign Lender is not classified as a corporation for United States
federal income tax purposes, such Foreign Lender shall take any actions
necessary and shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent all
additional (or alternative) Internal Revenue Service forms and Section 2.14(e)
Certificates necessary to fully establish such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to a
complete exemption from United States withholding tax on all payments to be made
to it under the Loan Documents (including causing its partners, members,
beneficiaries or owners, or their beneficial owners, to take any actions and
deliver any Internal Revenue Service forms and Section 2.14(e) Certificates
necessary to establish such exemption). In addition, each Foreign Lender shall
deliver such Internal Revenue Service forms and the Section 2.14(e) Certificate
(as applicable) to the Company, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
promptly upon the obsolescence, inaccuracy or invalidity of any such Internal
Revenue Service forms or Section 2.14(e) Certificate previously delivered by
such Foreign Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14(e) unless such Foreign Lender
is not legally able to deliver such Internal Revenue Service forms or Section
2.14(e) Certificate.

         

        (f)           Each
Lender agrees that, before making a demand under this Section 2.14, it shall use
reasonable efforts (consistent with its legal and regulatory restrictions) to
designate a different Applicable Lending Office or assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates if the
making of such a designation or assignment will avoid the need for, or reduce
the amount of, any additional amounts that would otherwise thereafter accrue and
will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, require such Lender to
incur a cost or expense, or legal or regulatory disadvantage, determined by such
Lender to be material. Upon any such change in any Applicable Lending Office or
assignment, such Lender shall provide or cause to be provided to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower the appropriate form specified in Section
2.14(e).

         

        (g)           If
the Borrower pays any additional amount or indemnity payment pursuant to this
Section 2.14 with respect to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the
Administrative Agent or such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a
refund of tax or credit against its tax liabilities on account of such payment;
provided that the
Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have no obligation to use such
reasonable efforts if either iv) it is in an excess foreign tax credit position,
v) it believes in good faith, in its sole discretion, that claiming a refund or
credit would cause adverse tax consequences to it or vi) no such refund or
credit is available under applicable laws. In the event that the Administrative
Agent or such Lender receives such a refund or credit, the Administrative Agent
or such Lender shall promptly pay to the Borrower an amount that the
Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably determines is equal to the net
tax benefit obtained by the Administrative Agent or such Lender as a result of
such payment by the Borrower. Nothing contained in this Section 2.14(g) shall
require the Administrative Agent or such Lender to disclose or detail the basis
of its calculation of the amount of any net tax benefit or its determination
referred to in the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 2.14(g) to the
Borrower or any other party.

         

        (h)           Should
a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form
required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as the Lender shall
reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes; provided that, in the
reasonable judgment of the Borrower, such steps shall not subject the Borrower
to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous
to the Borrower in any material respect.

         

        Section
2.15.  Payments
Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.  (a)  The Borrower
shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.12, 2.13 or
2.14, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when
due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or
counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may,
in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received
on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest
thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent
at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except that payments
pursuant to Section 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 or 9.03 shall be made directly to the
Persons entitled thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute
any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the
appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.  If any
payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for
payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case
of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the
period of such extension.  All payments hereunder shall be made in
dollars.

         

        (b)           If
at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees
then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied i) first, towards payment of
interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto
in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties and
ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to
such parties.

         

        (c)           If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of
the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the
proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans
of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate
amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that iii) if any
such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving
rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
iv) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for
the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee
or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate
thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall
apply).  The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the
extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring
a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the
Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount
of such participation.

         

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

         

        (e)           If
any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.04(b), 2.15(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts
thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender
to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such
unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

         

        Section
2.16.  Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  (a)  If any
Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, then such Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such
Lender, such designation or assignment (1) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 in the future and (2) would not subject such
Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.

         

        (b)           If
any Lender ii) requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is
required to make a payment to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, iii) becomes a Defaulting
Lender, or iv) refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification
of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a
greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment,
waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders; then the
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 9.04, with the Borrower or the replacement Lender paying the processing
and recording fee), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may
be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (w) the
Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent to such assignment (to the extent such consent would otherwise be required
pursuant to Section 9.04 or the definition of “Eligible Assignees”), which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (x) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder,
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) (in the
case of a Defaulting Lender, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any amount
to which such Defaulting Lender is not entitled in accordance with Section
2.17), (y) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in or elimination of
such compensation or payments in the future and (z) in the case of clause (iii)
above, such assignee consents to such amendment, waiver or other
modification.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such
Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply.

         

        Section
2.17.  Defaulting
Lender.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following
provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting
Lender:

         

        (a)           for
so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, fees under Section 2.09(a) shall
not accrue on the unused Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; and

         

        (b)           neither
the Commitment nor the Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall be included in
determining whether all Lenders, all affected Lenders or the Required Lenders
have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any
amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any waiver,
amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected
Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected
Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; provided further that no
waiver, amendment or modification of the type described in clause (i), (ii) or
(iii) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) may be made without the written
consent of any Defaulting Lender affected thereby.

         

        The
Administrative Agent shall provide to any Lender determined by the
Administrative Agent to be a “Defaulting Lender” written notice of such
determination (and shall provide a copy of such written notice to the
Borrower).

         

        Section
2.18.  Borrower
Designation.  The Company and the Parent may elect to designate
the Parent to be the “Borrower” hereunder by executing and delivering to the
Administrative Agent, not later than 10 Business Days (or such shortened period
as the Administrative Agent may agree) prior to the Availability Date (a)
documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
which (i) the Parent expressly assumes all obligations of the Borrower hereunder
and (ii) the Company becomes a Guarantor of the Parent’s obligations as Borrower
hereunder and (b) such certificates and opinions of counsel with respect thereto
(which shall be consistent with such documentation deliverable by the Company
pursuant to Section 4.01) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request,
all of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent.  Subject to delivery of such items as aforesaid, with effect
from the Availability Date, (a) the Parent shall be the Borrower for all
purposes hereunder and shall have all the rights and obligations of the Borrower
hereunder (including being entitled to borrow Loans subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement) and (b) the Company shall be a “Guarantor” for all
purposes hereunder and shall have all of the rights and obligations of a
Guarantor hereunder.  The Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent
may make such technical or conforming changes to the terms of the Loan Documents
as it shall deem necessary to effect the foregoing.  The
Administrative Agent shall provide prompt written notice to the Lenders of any
election made by the Company and the Parent pursuant to this Section
2.18.

         

        Section
2.19.  Mandatory
Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.  (a) Subject to the terms of this
Section 2.19, upon the occurrence of any Specified Asset Sale or Property Loss
Event, the Borrower shall permanently reduce the Commitments outstanding as of
the date of such Specified Asset Sale or Property Loss Event, in an aggregate
amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof.  The Borrower
shall effect such reduction within ten Business Days (if such Net Cash Proceeds
are received by any Credit Party or Domestic Subsidiary), or 30 Business Days
(if such Net Cash Proceeds are received by a Foreign Subsidiary), after the
consummation of such Specified Asset Sale or such Property Loss Event; provided that if the
Availability Date occurs during such period, such Commitment reduction shall be
effective immediately prior to the Availability Date.  If, immediately
after any reduction of Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19(a), the total
Loan Exposure would exceed the total Commitments, the Borrower shall,
concurrently with such reduction, prepay Loans in an amount equal to such
excess.

         

        (b)           Upon
any Specified Equity Issuance, the Borrower shall permanently reduce the
Commitments outstanding as of the date of such Equity Issuance, in an aggregate
amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof, such reduction to be
effective immediately.  If, immediately after any reduction of
Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19(b), the total Loan Exposure would
exceed the total Commitments, the Borrower shall, within 5 Business Days of such
reduction, prepay Loans in an amount equal to such excess.

         

        (c)           Upon
any Specified Incurrence of Indebtedness, the Borrower shall permanently reduce
the Commitments outstanding as of the date of such Incurrence of Indebtedness,
in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of the amount by which the Net Cash Proceeds
of such Incurrence of Indebtedness, together with the Net Cash Proceeds all
other Specified Incurrences of Indebtedness, exceeds $500,000,000 in the
aggregate, such reduction to be effective immediately.  If,
immediately after any reduction of Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19(c),
the total Loan Exposure would exceed the total Commitments, the Borrower shall,
within 5 Business Days (if such Incurrence of Indebtedness is by any Credit
Party or Domestic Subsidiary) or ten Business Days (if such Incurrence of
Indebtedness is by a Foreign Subsidiary) of such reduction, prepay Loans in an
amount equal to such excess.

accepted accounting principles in effect from time to time in the applicable

        Section

the attorney-client privilege and materials which such Credit Party or its
Subsidiaries may not disclose without violation of a confidentiality obligation
binding upon it), and to discuss its business, operations, finances and
condition with its officers and independent accountants; provided that such Credit
Party shall be given reasonable advance notice of any request of the
Administrative Agent in respect of any of the foregoing, none of the foregoing
shall occur outside normal office hours, and none of the foregoing shall be
conducted in a manner that materially interferes with the ordinary conduct of
the business of such Credit Party or such Subsidiary; provided that when an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or any
Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors),
may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Credit Parties at any time
during normal business hours and without advance notice.

in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

         

        Section
5.09.  Additional Guarantors.  If any
Subsidiary of the Parent shall at any time guarantee the obligations of the
Parent or the Company under any other Credit Facility or under the Senior Notes,
the Credit Parties shall cause such Subsidiary to simultaneously execute and
deliver a Guarantor Joinder Agreement, together with such certificates and
opinions of counsel with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent may

        The
Administrative Agent

         

        Each of
the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent
and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and
to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the
terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.

         

        The bank
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and
powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same
as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates
may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliate thereof
as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

         

        The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or
other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is
required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set
forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and
shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the
bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action
taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary
under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent
shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written
notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender,
and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii)
the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms
or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness
or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or
document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or
elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to
be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

         

        The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.  The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by
telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not
incur any liability for relying thereon.  The Administrative Agent may
consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such
counsel, accountants or experts.

         

        The
Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights
and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent
may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through
their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of the
preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to
their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative
Agent.

         

        Subject
to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as
provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by
giving at least fifteen days advance written notice thereof to the Lenders and
the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall
have the right to appoint a successor, which successor shall be approved by the
Borrower (such approval (x) not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (y)
not to be required following the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default; provided that during the
continuance of an Event of Default, such appointment shall be made in
consultation with the Borrower).  If no successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an
office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.  Upon
the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and
the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a
successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor.  After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder,
the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the
benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

         

        Each
Lender acknowledges 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 credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges
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 from
time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or
not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document,
any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder.

procedures approved by it; provided that approval of
such procedures may be limited to particular notices or

        Section
9.02.  Waivers;
Amendments.  (a)  No failure or delay by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power under
any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
power.  The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any
provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Credit Party
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making
of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of
whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge
of such Default at the time.

         

        (b)           No
Loan Document (other than the Fee Letter) nor any provision thereof may be
waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such
agreement shall (i) increase  the Commitment of any Lender
without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal
amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees
payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,
(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any
Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the
amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of
expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender
affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.15(b) or (c) in a manner that would
alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written
consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or
the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying
the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any
rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender; or (vi) release any Affiliate
Guarantee, (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any release pursuant to
Section 10.04(c) which shall occur in accordance with the terms of such Section
10.04(c)) without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such
agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent; and provided further that the
Administrative Agent may, with the written consent of the Borrower but without
the consent of any other Lender, amend, modify or supplement the Loan Documents
(i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such
amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of
any Lender, (ii) to reflect any change in the Company’s and the Parent’s name
occurring on or prior to the Closing Date and (iii) as contemplated by the final
sentence of Section 2.18.

         

        Section
9.03.  Expenses;
Indemnity; Damage Waiver.  (a)  The Borrower shall pay
(i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the
Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan
Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated) and (ii) all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or
protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its
rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made, including all
such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans; provided that the Borrower
shall not be required to reimburse the legal fees and expenses of more than one
outside counsel (in addition to any special counsel and up to one local counsel
in each applicable local jurisdiction) for all Persons indemnified under this
clause(a) unless, (w) in the written opinion of outside counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, representation of all
such indemnified persons would be inappropriate due to the existence of an
actual or potential conflict of interest; (x) the Administrative Agent or any
such Lender shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses
available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the
other indemnified persons; (y) the Administrative Agent or any such Lender shall
have reasonably concluded that it otherwise has interests divergent from those
of the indemnified persons; or (z) the Borrower shall authorize in writing the
Administrative Agent or any such Lender to employ separate counsel at the
Borrower’s expense.

         

        (b)           The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against,
and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result, of (iii) the
execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument
contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective
obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other
transactions contemplated thereby, (iv) any Loan or the use of the proceeds
therefrom, (v) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials
on or from any Property owned or operated by any member of the Credit Group, or
any Environmental Liability related in any way to any member of the Credit Group
or (vi) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other
theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result
from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other member of the Credit Group
against any Indemnitee for material breach of such Indemnitee’s express
obligations hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any failure by
such Indemnitee to comply with its obligation to fund any portion of its Loans
as required hereby) or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such
other member of the Credit Group has obtained a final and non-appealable
judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction.

         

        (c)           To
the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it
to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each
Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
provided that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related
expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; and provided further that any
such payment by any Lender shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations pursuant
to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section.

         

        (d)           To
the extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan
Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions,
any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

         

        (e)           All
amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand
therefor.

         

        Section
9.04.  Successors
and Assigns.  (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer
by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with
this Section.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall
be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent
provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

         

        (b)           (i)  Subject
to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to
one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the
time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld) of:

         

        (A)              the
Borrower; provided that
no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, any other assignee; and

         

        (B)              the
Administrative Agent.

         

        (ii)                 Assignments
shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

         

        (A)              each
assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee;

         

        (B)              except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment
or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall
not be less than $10,000,000 (or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise
consent; provided that
no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing;

         

        (C)              each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

         

        (D)              the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500; and

         

        (E)              the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more
credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain
material non-public information about the Credit Group) will be made available
and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s
compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state
securities laws.

         

        For the
purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the
following meaning:

         

        “Approved Fund” means any
Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing,
holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the
ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a
Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an
entity that administers or manages a Lender.

         

        (iii)                 Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of
the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender
thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12,
2.13, 2.14 and 9.03).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section.

         

        (iv)                 The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of
the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and the principal amount of the Loans owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

         

        (v)                 Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative
Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the
processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and
any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this
Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption
and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the
assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required
to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b),
2.15(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept
such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the
Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together
with all accrued interest thereon.  No assignment shall be effective
for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as
provided in this paragraph.

         

        (c)           (i)
Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a
portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender
sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement
or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the
first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such
Participant.  Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(c) as though it were a
Lender.

         

        (ii)                 A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
2.12 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with
respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the
participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written
consent.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a
Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless the Borrower
is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.14(e) as
though it were a Lender.

         

        (d)           Any
Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender,
including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or
assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge
or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto.

         

        Section
9.05.  Survival.  All
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower
herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with
or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon
by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the
Loan Documents and the making of any Loans regardless of any investigation made
by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is
extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the
Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of
Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 and Article 8 shall survive and remain in
full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination
of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision
hereof.

         

        Section
9.06.  Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each
of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of
this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.

         

        Section
9.07.  Severability.  Any
provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not
invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

         

        Section
9.08.  Right of
Set-off.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such
Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party
against any of and all the obligations of such Credit Party now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or
not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although
such obligations may be unmatured.  The rights of each Lender under
this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

         

        Section
9.09.  Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.  (a)  This Agreement shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York;
provided that with
respect to whether an Availability Date Material Adverse Effect shall have
occurred, and claims relating thereto, such matters shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey.

         

        (b)           Each
Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
Property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of
New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of
the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in
any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or,
to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this
Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may
otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document
against any Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.

         

        (c)           Each
Credit Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph
(b) of this Section.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such
court.

         

        (d)           Each
party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section
9.01.  Nothing in any Loan Document will affect the right of
any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by
law.

         

        Section
9.10.  WAIVER OF
JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT,
TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK
TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER
PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

         

        Section
9.11.  Headings.  Article
and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience
of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the
construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this
Agreement.

         

        Section
9.12.  Confidentiality.  Each
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers,
employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors
(it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be
informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep
such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority; provided that, except with
respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or by any
governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory
authority, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall use
reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Borrower of such disclosure (unless
such disclosure is not legally permissible), (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,
(d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an
agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section,
to (i) any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction, or any
actual or prospective credit insurance provider, relating to the Borrower and
its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent
such Information (i)
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or
(ii) becomes available to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than the Borrower.  For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all
information received from the Borrower relating to the Credit Group or its
business, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of
information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information
is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any
Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in
this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so
if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information.

         

        Section
9.13.  USA PATRIOT
Act.  Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the
USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001))
(the “PATRIOT Act”) hereby notifies the
Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which
information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information
that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the
PATRIOT Act.

        Affiliate
Guarantees

         

        Section
10.01.  Affiliate
Guarantees.  Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees the full
and punctual payment when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or
otherwise) of the principal of and interest on any and all Loans and all other
amounts whatsoever from time to time owing to the Lenders or the Administrative
Agent or any of them by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Guaranteed
Obligations”).  Upon failure by the Borrower to pay any
Guaranteed Obligation punctually when due, each Guarantor shall forthwith on
demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in
the relevant Loan Documents; provided that, in the case of
any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, the same will be punctually paid in full when due (whether at
extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of
such extension or renewal.

         

        Section
10.02.  Affiliate
Guarantees Unconditional.  The obligations of each Guarantor
under its Affiliate Guarantee shall be unconditional and absolute and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or
otherwise affected by:

         

        (a)           any
extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any
obligation of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person under any
Loan Document, by operation of law or otherwise;

         

        (b)           any
modification or amendment of or supplement to any Loan Document;

         

        (c)           any
release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect
security for any obligation of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other
Person under any Loan Document;

         

        (d)           any
change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower, any
other Guarantor or any other Person or any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any other Person or any of their assets or any resulting release or
discharge of any obligation of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other
Person under any Loan Document;

         

        (e)           the
existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that such Guarantor may have at
any time against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any Lender or any other
Person, whether in connection with the Loan Documents or with any unrelated
transactions; provided
that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate
suit or compulsory counterclaim;

         

        (f)           any
invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any other Person for any reason of any Loan Document, or any
provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment of
any Guaranteed Obligation by the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other
Person; or

         

        (g)           any
other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any other
Guarantor, any other party to any Loan Document, any Lender or any other Person,
or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this
clause (g), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to any
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

         

        Section
10.03.  Limitation
on Obligations of Subsidiary Guarantor.  If any Guarantor
(other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company in its capacity as a
Guarantor) is a Subsidiary of Parent (such Guarantor a “Subsidiary Guarantor”), the
obligation of such Guarantor under its Affiliate Guarantee shall be limited to
an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such
Affiliate Guarantee subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any other applicable
law.

         

        Section
10.04.  Release of
Affiliate Guarantees.  (a)  Each Guarantor’s
obligations under this Article 10 shall, subject to clause (c) below, remain in
full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in
full  (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which
no claims have been asserted) and no Lender shall have any Commitment under this
Agreement.

         

        (b)           
If at any time any payment of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must be
otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization
of the Borrower or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with
respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due
but not made at such time.

         

        (c)           If
it shall come to pass that any Subsidiary Guarantor is a guarantor neither with
respect to any other Credit Facility nor with respect to the Senior Notes, or
any Subsidiary Guarantor shall cease to be a Subsidiary of the Parent, or all
the assets of a Subsidiary Guarantor are sold to a Person other than i) prior to
the Availability Date, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and ii) from the
Availability Date, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, in a
transaction not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement (any such sale, a “Sale of Guarantor”), such
Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its Affiliate
Guarantee and the Administrative Agent shall, at the Borrower’s expense, execute
and deliver such documents as the Borrower shall reasonably require to evidence
such release.  Such release shall not require the consent of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall be fully
protected in relying on a certificate of the Borrower or Parent as to whether
the foregoing conditions are satisfied.

         

        (d)           Each
of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to release any
Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Affiliate Guarantee in
accordance with the terms of this Section 10.04.

         

        Section
10.05.  Waiver by
Guarantors.  Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance
hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as
well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person
against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person.

         

        Section
10.06.  Subrogation.
Upon making full payment with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation
hereunder, each Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against
the Borrower with respect to such payment; provided that the Guarantor
shall not enforce any payment by way of subrogation against the Borrower unless
all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent
indemnification obligations as to which no claims have been asserted) and no
Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder.

         

        Section
10.07.  Stay of
Acceleration.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any
Guaranteed Obligation is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, all such Guaranteed Obligations
otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any Loan Document shall
nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the
Administrative Agent.

         

        Section
10.08.  Continuing
Guarantee.  Each Affiliate Guarantee is a continuing guarantee,
shall be binding on the relevant Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and
shall be enforceable by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.  If
all or part of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s interest in any
Guaranteed Obligation is assigned or otherwise transferred, the transferor’s
rights under each Affiliate Guarantee, to the extent applicable to the
obligation so transferred, shall automatically be transferred with such
obligation.

         

        Section
10.09.  Addition of
Guarantors.  Any Affiliate of the Borrower may become a party
hereto as a Guarantor and Credit Party by signing and delivering to the
Administrative Agent a Guarantor Joinder Agreement, together with such
certificates and opinions of counsel with respect thereto as the Administrative
Agent may reasonably request, all of which shall be in customary form reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

         

        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly
executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first
above written.

        CERTIFICATE

        

        

        Reference
is made to the Asset Sale Facility Agreement dated as of May 6, 2009 (as from
time to time amended, the “Credit Agreement”) among Merck
& Co., Inc., certain Designated Borrowers (if any), certain lenders parties
thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such
capacity, the “Administrative
Agent”).  Capitalized terms used herein that are not defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit
Agreement.  Pursuant to Section 2.14(e) of the Credit Agreement, [Name
of Foreign Lender] (the “Lender”) hereby certifies
that:

        

        
          	
                  1.

                	
                  The
      Lender is the sole record and beneficial owner of the interest in the
      Loans and Commitments (the “Interest”) in respect of
      which it is providing this
certificate.

                

        

        

        
          	
                  2.

                	
                  The
      Lender is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code,
      including that the Lender is not subject to regulatory or other legal
      requirements as a bank in any jurisdiction and has not been treated as a
      bank for purposes of any tax, securities law or other filing or submission
      made to any Governmental Authority, any application made to a rating
      agency or qualification for any exemption from tax, securities law or
      other legal requirements.

                

        

        

        
          	
                  3.

                	
                  The
      Lender meets all of the requirements under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the
      Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder to be eligible for a
      complete exemption from withholding of United States federal income tax on
      interest payments made to it under the Loan Documents, including without
      limitation, that it is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of
      Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Company and amounts received by
      it pursuant to the Loan Documents are not effectively connected with its
      conduct of a trade or business in the United
  States.

                

        

        

        
          	
                  4.

                	
                  The
      Lender shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent if
      any of the certifications made herein are no longer true and
      correct.

                

        

         

        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has duly executed this
certificate.

      OF FOREIGN LENDER].

                       

                       

                       

                    
	 
      	
                      By:
