Purchaser that:

	 	a.	 	Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller and
constitutes Seller’s legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with
its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws
relating to creditors’ rights generally, now or hereafter in effect, and general principles
of equity. Seller need not give any notice to, make any filing with, or obtain any
authorization, consent, or approval of any court, government or governmental agency, or
third person, with the exception of various creditors whose consent is required, and all of
which consents shall be obtained on or prior to the Closing, in order to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

	 	b.	 	No Conflicts. Neither the execution and the delivery of this Agreement, nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will (i) violate any constitution,

and clear of any taxes, security interests, purchase rights, contracts, commitments,
equities, claims, demands, liens, encumbrances, or other restrictions whatsoever in law or
in equity; provided, however, that the Aloe Assets are subject to a security interest in
favor of various creditors, all of which shall all be released on or before the Closing
Date. Except for this Agreement, Seller is not a party to any purchase right, or other
contract or commitment that could require Seller to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of
the Aloe Assets.

	 	d.	 	Capacity. Seller has full legal power, right and authority and all authorizations and
approvals required by law to enter into and perform this Agreement and to sell, transfer
and deliver good, valid and marketable title to the Aloe Assets free and clear of any and

the terms of this Agreement.

	 	e.	 	Title. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and in
accordance with the terms hereof, the Purchaser will acquire good, valid and marketable
title to the Aloe Assets free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, or rights of

respects, of the sales of the Aloe Products by Seller. There have been no material changes
in the sales of the Aloe Products since such date, nor will there be prior to the Closing
Date.

	 	h.	 	Litigation. Except as disclosed on Schedule “4.2(h)”, to Seller’s knowledge there are
no actions, suits, proceedings, arbitrations, or investigations pending or, threatened
against Seller, or affecting the business of Seller, before any court, agency, or other
governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign nor is any order, writ,
judgment, injunction, or decree outstanding against the Seller. To Seller’s knowledge, the
business of Seller is not being, and has not been since November 1, 1999, conducted in
violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule, regulation, judgment, writ, decree,
injunction, or order of any Governmental Entity or arbitrator. To Sellers’ knowledge,
Seller (i) is not subject to any outstanding injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling,
or charge, and (ii) is not a party or, is not threatened to be made a party to any action,
suit, proceeding, hearing, or investigation of, in, or before any court or quasi-judicial
or administrative agency of any federal, state, local, or foreign jurisdiction or before
any arbitrator. Seller has no reason to believe that any such action, suit, proceeding,
hearing, or investigation may be brought or threatened against Seller.

	 	i.	 	Warranties. Seller has made no express warranties with regard to the Aloe Products
during the preceding six (6) years other than those attached hereto as Schedule “4.2(i)”.

	 	j.	 	Aloe Products Pricing. Attached hereto as Schedule “4.2(j)” is a copy of the pricing
for Aloe Products for the calendar year 2004 for each customer or class of customers.
Seller warrants and represents that Seller has not offered or contracted to receive a price
less than the price set forth on Schedule “4.2(j)”. Schedule “4.2(j)” also sets forth the
discount, credit, manufacturer charge back, advertising allowance, and/or any other
promotional program applicable to each such customer or class of customers with respect to
the Aloe Products. Except as specifically disclosed on Schedule “4.2(j)”, Seller has not
offered, advertised, nor marketed the Aloe Products at price less than that reflected on
Schedule “4.2(j)” whether by way of discount, credit, manufacturer charge back, advertising
allowance, or any other promotional means that is still in effect or was in effect during
the calendar year 2004.

	 	k.	 	No Change in Customer Relationships. Seller does not have any knowledge of any
termination or cancellation of, or any material modification or change in, the business
relationship of Seller with any material customer, or any existing condition or state of
facts or circumstances affecting the business or Seller generally which has adversely
affected or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect in any material way, the
business relationships of Seller with its customers with respect to the Aloe Products, or
has prevented or would reasonably be expected to prevent such business relationships from
being carried on by Purchaser subsequent to the Closing in essentially the same manner as
currently carried on with Seller.

	 	l.	 	No Charge Backs, Credits, or Product Returns. Seller does not have any outstanding
charge backs, credits, nor product returns for any Aloe Products, and Seller has no
knowledge that any such charge backs, credits, nor product returns will occur following
Closing for Aloe Products delivered to customers prior to Closing which has not been
disclosed to Purchaser in writing by Seller in Schedule “4.2(l)”.

	 	m.	 	No Bulk Sale. Seller shall pay or otherwise satisfy in the ordinary course of business
all of its liabilities and obligations with respect to the Aloe Products. Further the
inventory being transferred to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement constitutes less than
one-half of Seller’s inventories. Further, the transaction contemplated by this Agreement
is not subject to any bulk sales laws and/or any law requiring notice to any creditor of
Seller pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code.

	 	n.	 	Solvency. Seller is not now insolvent, and will not be rendered insolvent by the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement. As used in this Section, “insolvent” means
that the sum of Seller’s debts and other probable liabilities exceeds the present fair
saleable value of Seller’s assets. Immediately after giving effect to the consummation of
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, (i) Seller will be able to pay its
liabilities as they become due in the usual course of its business, (ii) Seller will not
have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct its present or proposed business,
(iii) Seller will have assets (calculated at fair market value) that exceed its liabilities
and (iv) taking into account all pending and threatened litigation, final judgments against
Seller in actions for money damages are not reasonably anticipated to be rendered at a time
when, or in amounts such that, Seller will be unable to satisfy any such judgments promptly
in accordance with their terms (taking into account the maximum probable amount of such
judgments in any such actions and the earliest reasonable time at which such judgments
might be rendered) as well as all other obligations of Seller. The cash available to
Seller, after taking into account all other anticipated uses of cash, will be sufficient to
pay all such debts and judgments promptly in accordance with their terms.

	 	•	 	. Intellectual Property. The Seller owns or is licensed to use all trademarks, trade
names, assumed names, service marks, logos, copyrights, trade secrets, technology,
know-how, and processes which are material to the business of the Seller with regard to the
Aloe Products as heretofore conducted (collectively, the “Proprietary Rights”) free and
clear of all liens, and all of such Proprietary Rights are included in the Aloe Assets.
With respect to Proprietary Rights which are registered or as to which application for
registration has been made, the Seller is owner thereof and is the record owner thereof. A
list of all Seller’s trademarks, trade names, and logos together with any registrations and
applications relating to any of the Proprietary Rights is set forth in Schedule 4.2(o)”.
To Seller’s knowledge, no Proprietary Rights used by the Seller, and no services or
products sold by the Seller, conflict with or infringe upon any proprietary rights of any
third party. The Seller has not entered into any consent, indemnification, forbearance to
sue, or settlement agreement with respect to Proprietary Rights. No claims have been
asserted in writing by any person with respect to the validity of or the Seller’s ownership
or right to use the Proprietary Rights and, to the knowledge of the Seller, there is no
reasonable basis for any such claim. The Proprietary Rights are valid and enforceable and
no registration relating thereto has lapsed, expired, or been abandoned or cancelled or is
the subject of a cancellation proceeding. Schedule 4.2(o)” sets forth all of the material
licenses to which the Seller is a party relating to the licensing of Proprietary Rights.
The Seller has complied with, in all material respects, its respective contractual
obligations relating to the protection of the Proprietary Rights used pursuant to licenses.
The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not alter or impair any
Proprietary Rights. To the best knowledge of the Seller, no person is infringing on or
violating the Proprietary rights owned or used by the Seller.

	 	p.	 	No Material Omission. The representations and warranties of Seller in this Agreement,
and all representations, warranties and statements of Seller contained in any schedule,
sales data, exhibit, list or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement do not omit to
state a material fact necessary in order to make such representations, warranties and
statements not misleading.

	 	10.3	 	The Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties. The Purchaser represents and
warrants to the Seller that:

	 	a.	 	Authority. The Purchaser has full power and authority to execute, deliver, and
perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

	 	b.	 	Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
Purchaser, and constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Purchaser,
enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as limited by

generally, now or hereafter in effect and general principles of equity.

	 	c.	 	Consents. Any notice, authorization, consent, approval, permit, or license of, or
filing with, any governmental or public body or authority, any lender or lessor, or any
other person or entity required to authorize or required in connection with, the
execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser has been
obtained.

	 	d.	 	No Conflicts. Neither the execution and the delivery of this Agreement, nor
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will (i) violate any statute,

subject, and/or (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under,
result in the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate,
modify, or cancel, or require any notice under any agreement, contract, lease, license,

Noncompete Agreement

NONCOMPETITION AND NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

This Noncompetition Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between L.O.D.C. Group,
LTD. a Texas limited partnership (the “LODC”) and Naturade, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the
“Naturade”).

Recitals:

	 	 	 	WHEREAS, LODC has entered into an agreement with Naturade to purchase various assets related to the
aloe vera based health and beauty aid products and aloe vera gel concentrate drinks
manufactured and sold by Naturade pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement; and

	 	 	 	WHEREAS, LODC desires to obtain an agreement not to compete from Naturade and requires that such
agreement not to compete be executed as part of the transaction to purchase the various assets
related to the aloe vera based health and beauty aid products and aloe vera gel concentrate
drinks manufactured and sold by Naturade pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement; and

	 	 	 	NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, Ten Dollars ($10.00),
and other good and valuable consideration the amount and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, LODC and Naturade, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows

Article One: Reasonableness of Agreement

	 	5.1	 	Naturade and LODC agree, warrant, and represent that this Agreement is necessary to protect
the business goodwill, business interests and proprietary rights that LODC is purchasing
pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and that the parties hereto have independently
discussed, reviewed and had the opportunity of legal counsel to consider this Agreement.

5.2 Naturade does hereby agree and stipulate to the following:

(a) This Agreement is fair and reasonable in its:

1. geographical area;

2. length of time; and

3. scope of activity being restrained.

	 	(a)	 	The limitations in this Agreement do not impose a greater restraint than is
necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interest of LODC.

Article Two: No Compete

	 	5.1	 	Naturade expressly agrees that, without prior written consent of LODC, for a period of
five (5) years following the Closing Date, Naturade shall not, for itself or as an investor,
partner, owner, director, shareholder, of any person, firm, partnership, company, and/or
corporation:

	 	a.	 	conduct any business that is in competition with the manufacture, sale or
distribution of any product that is the same or similar to the Aloe Products;

	 	b.	 	manufacture, sale or distribute any skin care, hair care, and/or body care product
whether containing aloe vera or not; or

	 	c.	 	induce or attempt to induce, directly or indirectly, any customer of Naturade to
discontinue their relationship with LODC.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Naturade shall not be prohibited by this Section 2.1 from
acting as a passive investor where it owns not more than one percent (1%) of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of any publicly held company.

Article Three: Remedies

	 	5.1	 	In the event of the breach or threatened breach by Naturade of any provision hereof, LODC
shall be entitled to relief by temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, or permanent
injunction or otherwise, in addition to any other legal and equitable relief to which it may
be entitled, including any and all monetary damages which LODC may incur as a result of said
breach, violation or threatened breach or violation. LODC may pursue any remedy available to
it concurrently or consecutively in any order as to any breach, violation, or threatened
breach or violation, and the pursuit of one of such remedies at any time will not be deemed an
election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other of such remedies as to such
breach, violation, or threatened breach or violation, or as to any other breach, violation, or
threatened breach or violation.

	 	5.2	 	In the event LODC should be required to resort to a court of competent jurisdiction to
enforce or construe this Agreement, LODC shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s
fees and related court costs.

Article Four: Severance

	 	5.1	 	The intent of each party hereto is that the restrictions and limitations on Naturade
described herein shall apply and be enforceable to the fullest extent allowed by law and shall
under no circumstances be terminated in full in the event that any portion of such limitations
or restrictions exceed applicable law. The illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any
term or provision of this Agreement shall have no effect on any other term or provision of
this Agreement and the provision held to be void, illegal or unenforceable shall be limited so
that it shall remain in effect to the extent permissible by law. In the event any court of
competent jurisdiction determines that any part of the provisions hereof exceed any applicable
geographical, temporal or other legal or equitable limitations or restrictions, then such
court is hereby authorized and requested by the parties to limit or reform the applicable
limitations and restrictions to the minimum extent necessary so that such limitations and
restrictions set forth herein are enforceable under applicable law.

Article Five: General And Administrative Provisions

	 	5.1	 	Parties Bound. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties and
their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and
assigns.

	 	5.2	 	No Waiver. A failure or delay in the enforcement of the rights detailed in this Agreement by
LODC shall not constitute a waiver of those rights or be considered a basis for estoppel. LODC
may exercise its rights under this Agreement despite any delay or failure to enforce those
rights.

	 	5.3	 	Paragraph Headings. The paragraph headings used in this Agreement are descriptive only and
shall have no legal force or effect whatever.

	 	5.4	 	Use of Pronouns. The use of the neuter, masculine, or singular to refer to a party described
in this Agreement shall be deemed a proper reference whether the party is an individual, a
partnership, a corporation, or a group of two or more individuals, partnerships, or
corporations. The grammatical changes required to make the provisions of this Agreement
applicable to corporations, partnerships, individuals, or groups of individuals, or to females
as well as males shall in all instances be assumed as though in each case fully expressed.

	 	5.5	 	Texas Law. This Agreement is made according to the laws of the State of Texas. The parties
expressly agree that this Agreement is governed by, and will be construed and enforced in
accordance with Texas law. Venue for any dispute arising out of or in any way related to this
Agreement shall be in a court of competent jurisdiction in Denton County, Texas.

	 	5.6	 	Entire Agreement. This Agreement along with the Asset Purchase Agreement contains the
complete agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
supersedes any existing agreements between such parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof and cannot be changed or terminated except by written instrument executed by each of
the parties.

	 	5.7	 	Continuation Following Assignment. Naturade agrees that this Agreement and the covenants
contained herein shall continue to be binding and controlling on Naturade notwithstanding the
assignment of all or any part of LODC’s rights to or interest in LODC’s business.

	 	5.8	 	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in a number of identical counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original for all purposes.

Effective this the   day of November 2004.

Each such notice of an A Borrowing (a "Notice of A Borrowing") shall be by telecopier, mail or delivery, confirmed immediately in writing, in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such A Borrowing, (ii) Type of A Advances comprising such A Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such A Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of an A Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the initial Interest Period for each such A Advance. The Borrower may, subject to the conditions herein provided, borrow more than one A Borrowing on any Business Day. Each Lender shall, before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances and before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, in each case on the date of such A Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 8.02, in same day funds, such Lender's ratable portion of such A Borrowing. After the Agent's receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the Agent's aforesaid address.

	
 

	
                         (b)     Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding,

	
 
	
 

	
 
	
                    (i)          the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any A Borrowing or with respect to the Conversion or continuance of any A Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such A Borrowing or such Conversion or continuance is less than $5,000,000;

	
 
	
 

	
 
	
                    (ii)         there shall be no more than five Interest Periods relating to Eurodollar Rate Advances outstanding at any time;

	
 
	
 

	
 
	
                    (iii)        if any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, the Commitment of such Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to Convert all or any portion of Base Rate Advances shall forthwith be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and such Lender's then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Advances, if any, shall be Base Rate Advances; to the extent that such affected Eurodollar Rate

	
 
	
 

	
12

 

	
 
	
Advances become Base Rate Advances, all payments of principal that would have been otherwise applied to such Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be applied instead to such Lender's Base Rate Advances; provided that if Majority Lenders are subject to the same illegality or assertion of illegality, then the right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Rate Advances for such A Borrowing or any subsequent A Borrowing or to Convert all or any portion of Base Rate Advances shall forthwith be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each A Advance comprising such A Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance;

	
 
	
 

	
 
	
                    (iv)         if the Majority Lenders shall, at least one Business Day before the date of any requested A Borrowing, notify the Agent that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising such A Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Majority Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate Advances for such A Borrowing, the right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Rate Advances for such A Borrowing or any subsequent A Borrowing shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each A Advance comprising such A Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Advance.

	
 
	
 

	
                         (c)     Each Notice of A Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower requesting the proposed A Borrowing. In the case of any A Borrowing which the related Notice of A Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower requesting the proposed A Borrowing shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the A Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such A Borrowing or by reason of the termination of hedging or other similar arrangements, in each case when such A Advance is not made on such date, including without limitation, as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of A Borrowing for such A Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III.

	
 

	
                         (d)     Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any A Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender's ratable portion of such A Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such A Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to A Advances comprising such A Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender's A Advance as part of such A Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

	
 

	
                         (e)     The failure of any Lender to make the A Advance to be made by it as part of any A Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make

	
 

	
13

 

	
its A Advance on the date of such A Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the A Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any A Borrowing.

	
 

	
                         Section 2.03     The B Advances. (a) Each Lender severally agrees that the Borrower may make B Borrowings under this Section 2.03 from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the date occurring 30 days prior to the latest Commitment Termination Date of any Lender then in effect in the manner set forth below; provided that, (i) following the making of each B Borrowing, (1) the aggregate amount of the Advances then outstanding to the Borrower shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders then in effect (computed without regard to any B Reduction), and (2) the aggregate amount of the B Advances scheduled to be outstanding to the Borrower at any time through the maturity of such B Advances shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders scheduled to be in effect at such time (computed without regard to any B Reduction), and (ii) no Lender may make a B Advance if the maturity date of such B Advance occurs after the Commitment Termination Date of such Lender.

	
 

	
 
	
                    (i)          The Borrower may request a B Borrowing under this Section 2.03 by delivering to the Agent, by telecopier or delivery, confirmed immediately in writing, a notice of a B Borrowing (a "Notice of B Borrowing"), in substantially the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto, specifying the date and aggregate amount of the proposed B Borrowing, the maturity date for repayment of each B Advance to be made as part of such B Borrowing (which maturity date (x) in the case of a fixed rate B Borrowing may not be earlier than the date occurring 14 days after the date of such B Borrowing or later than the date occurring 180 days after the date of such B Borrowing, and (y) in the case of any other B Borrowing may not be earlier than the date occurring 30 days after the date of such B Borrowing or later than the date occurring 180 days after the date of such B Borrowing), the interest payment date or dates relating thereto, and any other terms to be applicable to such B Borrowing, not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) (A) at least one Business Day prior to the date of the proposed B Borrowing, if the Borrower shall specify in the Notice of B Borrowing that the rates of interest to be offered by the Lenders shall be fixed rates per annum and (B) at least four Business Days prior to the date of the proposed B Borrowing, if the Borrower shall instead specify in the Notice of B Borrowing the basis to be used by the Lenders in determining the rates of interest to be offered by them. The Borrower may not select a maturity date for any B Borrowing which ends after the latest Commitment Termination Date of any Lender then in effect. The Agent shall in turn promptly notify each Lender of each request for a B Borrowing received by it from the Borrower by sending such Lender a copy of the related Notice of B Borrowing.

	
 
	
 

	
 
	
                    (ii)          Each Lender may, if, in its sole discretion, it elects to do so, irrevocably offer to make one or more B Advances to the Borrower as part of such proposed B Borrowing at a rate or rates of interest specified by such Lender in its sole discretion, by notifying the Agent (which shall give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower), before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) (A) on the date of such proposed B Borrowing, in the case of a Notice of B Borrowing delivered pursuant to clause (A) of

	
 
	
 

	
14

 

	
 
	
paragraph (i) above and (B) three Business Days before the date of such proposed B Borrowing, in the case of a Notice of B Borrowing delivered pursuant to clause (B) of paragraph (i) above, of the minimum amount and maximum amount of each B Advance which such Lender would be willing to make as part of such proposed B Borrowing (which amounts may, subject to the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 2.03(a), exceed such Lender's Commitment), the rate or rates of interest therefor and such Lender's Applicable Lending Office with respect to such B Advance; provided that if the Agent in its capacity as a Lender shall, in its sole discretion, elect to make any such offer, it shall notify the Borrower of such offer before 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date on which notice of such election is to be given to the Agent by the other Lenders. If any Lender shall elect not to make such an offer, such Lender shall so notify the Agent, before 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date on which notice of such election is to be given to the Agent by the other Lenders, and such Lender shall not be obligated to, and shall not, make any B Advance as part of such B Borrowing; provided that the failure by any Lender to give such notice shall not cause such Lender to be obligated to make any B Advance as part of such proposed B Borrowing.

	
 
	
 

	
 
	
                    (iii)        The Borrower shall, in turn, (A) before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date of such proposed B Borrowing, in the case of a Notice of B Borrowing delivered pursuant to clause (A) of paragraph (i) above and (B) before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) three Business Days before the date of such proposed B Borrowing, in the case of a Notice of B Borrowing delivered pursuant to clause (B) of paragraph (i) above, either

	
 
	
 

	
 
	
 
	
(x)          cancel such B Borrowing by giving the Agent notice to that effect, or

	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	
 
	
(y)          accept one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders pursuant to paragraph (ii) above (which acceptance shall be irrevocable) in its sole discretion, by giving notice to the Agent of the amount of each B Advance (which amount shall be equal to or greater than the minimum amount, and equal to or less than the maximum amount, notified to the Borrower by the Agent on behalf of such Lender for such B Advance pursuant to paragraph (ii) above) to be made by each Lender as part of such B Borrowing (provided that the aggregate amount of such B Borrowing shall not exceed the amount specified on the Notice of B Borrowing delivered by the Borrower pursuant to paragraph (i) above), and reject any remaining offers made by Lenders pursuant to paragraph (ii) above by giving the Agent notice to that effect; provided that acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending rates for B Borrowings of the same type and duration for up to the maximum amounts offered by Lenders; and provided further that if offers are made by two or more Lenders for the same type of B Borrowing for the same duration and with the same rate of interest, in an aggregate amount which is greater than the amount requested, such offers shall be accepted on a pro rata basis based on the maximum amounts offered by such Lenders at such rate of interest.

	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	
                    (iv)         If the Borrower notifies the Agent that such B Borrowing is cancelled pursuant to paragraph (iii)(x) above or if the Borrower rejects any offers made

	
 
	
 
	
 

	
15

 

	
 
	
by Lenders pursuant to paragraph (iii)(y) above, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders or affected Lenders, as the case may be, and in the case of a cancellation, such B Borrowing shall not be made.

	
 
	
 
	
 

	
 
	
                    (v)          If the Borrower accepts one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders pursuant to paragraph (iii)(y) above, the Agent shall in turn promptly notify (A) each Lender that has made an offer as described in paragraph (ii) above, of the date and aggregate amount of such B Borrowing and whether or not any offer or offers made by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (ii) above have been accepted by the Borrower, (B) each Lender that is to make a B Advance as part of such B Borrowing, of the amount of each B Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such B Borrowing, and (C) each Lender that is to make a B Advance as part of such B Borrowing, upon receipt, that the Agent has received forms of documents appearing to fulfill the applicable conditions set forth in Article III. Each Lender that is to make a B Advance as part of such B Borrowing shall, before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such B Borrowing specified in the notice received from the Agent pursuant to clause (A) of the preceding sentence or any later time when such Lender shall have received notice from the Agent pursuant to clause (C) of the preceding sentence, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 8.02 such Lender's portion of such B Borrowing, in same day funds. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III and after receipt by the Agent of such funds, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the Agent's aforesaid address. Promptly after each B Borrowing, the Agent will notify each Lender of the amount of the B Borrowing, the consequent B Reduction and the dates upon which such B Reduction commenced and will terminate.

	
 
	
 

	
 
	
                    (vi)         The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the Agent's account an auction fee in an amount agreed to in a separate letter agreement between the Borrower and the Agent for each Notice of B Borrowing delivered by the Borrower to the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(a), whether or not a B Borrowing is made pursuant thereto.

	
 
	
 

	
                         (b)     Each B Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and, following the making of each B Borrowing, the Borrower and each Lender shall be in compliance with the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of subsection (a) above.

	
 
	
 

	
                         (c)     Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in this Section 2.03, the Borrower may from time to time borrow under this Section 2.03, repay or prepay pursuant to subsection (d) below, and reborrow under this Section 2.03, and more than one B Borrowing may be made on a Business Day; provided that, except for B Borrowings made on the same Business Day, a B Borrowing shall not be made within three Business Days of the date of any other B Borrowing.

	
 

	
                         (d)     The Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the account of each Lender which has made a B Advance to the Borrower, on the maturity date of each B Advance made to the Borrower (such maturity date being that specified by the Borrower for repayment of such B Advance in the related Notice of B Borrowing delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above), the

	
 

	
16

 

	
then unpaid principal amount of such B Advance. The Borrower shall not have any right to prepay any principal amount of any B Advance unless, and then only on the terms, specified by the Borrower for such B Advance in the related Notice of B Borrowing delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above.

	
 

	
                         (e)     The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each B Advance made to the Borrower from the date of such B Advance to the date the principal amount of such B Advance is repaid in full, at the rate of interest for such B Advance specified by the Lender making such B Advance in its notice with respect thereto delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) above, payable on the interest payment date or dates specified by the Borrower for such B Advance in the related Notice of B Borrowing delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above; provided that any principal amount of any B Advance which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to (A) until the stated maturity date of such B Advance, the greater of (x) 2% per annum above the Base Rate in effect from time to time and (y) 2% above the stated rate per annum of such B Advance, and (B) after the stated maturity of such B Advance, 2% per annum above the Base Rate in effect from time to time.

	
 

	
                         Section 2.04     Fees.

	
 

	
                         (a)     Facility Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee on the amount of such Lender's Commitment (or if no Commitment is in effect, Advances), whether used or unused and without giving effect to any B Reduction, from the date hereof in the case of each Bank and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date of such Lender, payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December during the term of such Lender's Commitment, commencing September 30, 2004, and on the Termination Date of such Lender, in an amount equal to the product of (i) the average daily amount of such Lender's Commitment (whether used or unused and without giving effect to any B Reduction) in effect during the period for which such payment that is to be made times (ii) the weighted average rate per annum that is derived from the following rates: (a) a rate of 0.07% per annum with respect to each day during such period that the higher of the Ratings was Level 1, (b) a rate of 0.10% per annum with respect to each day during such period that the higher of such Ratings was Level 2, (c) a rate of 0.125% per annum with respect to each day during such period that the higher of such Ratings was Level 3, and (d) a rate of 0.15% per annum with respect to each day during such period that the higher of such Ratings was Level 4. If any change in the Rating shall result in a change in the Level, the change in the facility fee shall be effective as of the date on which such rating change is publicly announced (in the case of a public rating) or is disclosed to the Borrower (in the case of a private rating). If Ratings are available from both S&P and Moody's, then the higher of such Ratings shall apply, unless there is a split in such Ratings of more than one Level, in which case the Level that is one Level higher than the Level of the lower Rating shall apply. If Ratings are unavailable from both S&P or Moody's for any reason for any day, then the applicable Level for purposes of calculating the facility fee for such day shall be deemed to be Level 4 (or, if the Majority Lenders consent in writing, such other Level as may be reasonably determined by the

	
 

	
17

 

	
Majority Lenders from a rating with respect to Long-Term Debt or the Borrower for such day established by another rating agency reasonably acceptable to the Majority Lenders). If no Rating is available from S&P or Moody's (but not both) for any reason for any day, then the applicable Level shall be set by reference to the Rating of S&P or Moody's that is available for such day.

	
 

	
                         (b)     Agents' Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent the fees payable pursuant to the fee letter dated as of June 18, 2004 between the Borrower and CUSA, in the amounts and at the times specified in such letter.

	
 

	
                         Section 2.05     Optional Reduction of the Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days' notice to the Agent by the Borrower, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders, provided that the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall not be reduced to an amount which is less than the aggregate principal amount of the Advances then outstanding, and provided, further, that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

	
 

	
                         Section 2.06     Repayment and Prepayment of A Advances.

	
 

	
                         (a)     Mandatory Repayment on Termination Date. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of each A Advance made by each Lender to the Borrower on the Termination Date of such Lender.

	
 

	
                         (b)     Mandatory Prepayment Due to Reductions of Commitments. The Borrower shall from time to time prepay the A Advances made to the Borrower to the extent necessary so that the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Advances then outstanding does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders then in effect (computed without regard to any B Reduction).

	
 

	
                         (c)     Voluntary Prepayments of A Borrowings. The Borrower shall not have any right to prepay any principal amount of any A Advances other than as provided in this subsection (c). The Borrower may, upon at least one Business Day's notice to the Agent in the case of Base Rate Advances and at least three Business Days' notice to the Agent in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Advances made to the Borrower comprising part of the same A Borrowing in whole or ratably in part; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the case of any such prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower shall pay all accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the portion of such Eurodollar Rate Advance being prepaid and shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(b).

	
 

	
                         Section 2.07     Interest on A Advances. The Borrower shall pay interest accrued on the principal amount of each A Advance that was made to the Borrower outstanding

	
 

	
18

 

	
from time to time from the date of such A Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

	
 

	
                         (a)     Base Rate Advances. If such A Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the Base Rate in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December during the term of this Agreement, commencing September 30, 2004, and on the Termination Date of the applicable Lender; provided that any amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the principal amount of Base Rate Advances, but excluding the principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances and B Advances) which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the Base Rate in effect from time to time.

	
 

	
                         (b)     Eurodollar Rate Advances. If such A Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during the Interest Period for such A Advance to the sum of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on the day which occurs during such Interest Period three months from the first day of such Interest Period; provided that any principal amount of any Eurodollar Rate Advance which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to (A) during the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Advance, the greater of (x) 2% per annum above the Base Rate in effect from time to time and (y) 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such amount immediately prior to the date on which such amount became due and (B) after the expiration of such Interest Period, 2% per annum above the Base Rate in effect from time to time.

	
 

	
                         Section 2.08     Interest Rate Determination. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.07(a) or 2.07(b).

	
 

	
                         Section 2.09     Voluntary Conversion or Continuation of A Advances.

	
 

	
                         (a)     The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion or continuance (a "Notice of Conversion/Continuation") and subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(b), (1) Convert all Advances of one Type comprising the same A Borrowing made to the Borrower into A Advances of another Type and (2) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to A Advances which are Eurodollar Rate Advances made to the Borrower, continue all (or, subject to Section 2.02(b), any portion of) such A Advances as Eurodollar Rate Advances and the succeeding Interest Period(s) of such continued A Advances shall commence on the last day of the Interest Period of the A Advances to be continued; provided, however, that any Conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Advances into A Advances of another Type shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall, within the restrictions

	
 

	
19

 

	
specified above, specify (i) the date of such continuation or Conversion, (ii) the A Advances (or, subject to Section 2.02(b), any portion thereof) to be continued or Converted, (iii) if such continuation is of, or such Conversion is into, Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the Interest Period for each such A Advance and (iv) that no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

	
 

	
                         (b)     If upon the expiration of the then existing Interest Period applicable to any A Advance which is a Eurodollar Rate Advance made to the Borrower, the Borrower shall not have delivered a Notice of Conversion/Continuation in accordance with this Section 2.09, then such Advance shall upon such expiration automatically be Converted to a Base Rate Advance.

	
 

	
                         (c)     After the occurrence of and during the continuance of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default, the Borrower may not elect to have an A Advance be made or continued as, or Converted into, a Eurodollar Rate Advance after the expiration of any Interest Rate then in effect for that A Advance.

	
 

	
                         Section 2.10     Increased Costs.

	
 

	
                         (a)     If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances included in the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances made to the Borrower, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A reasonably detailed certificate as to the amount and manner of calculation of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

	
 

	
                         (b)     If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender's commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender's commitment to lend hereunder. A reasonably detailed certificate as to such amounts and the manner of calculation thereof submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

	
 

	
                         (c)     If a Lender shall change its Applicable Lending Office, such Lender shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 and 2.12 than the amount such 

	
 

	
20

 

	
Lender would have been entitled to receive if it had not changed its Applicable Lending Office, unless such change was made at the request of the Borrower or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

	
 

	
                         Section 2.11     Payments and Computations.

	
 

	
                         (a)     The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 8.02 in same day funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, the Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or facility fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.10 or 2.12 or, to the extent the Termination Date is not the same for all Lenders, pursuant to Section 2.06(a)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon receipt of principal or interest paid after an Event of Default and an acceleration or a deemed acceleration of amounts due hereunder, the Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest ratably in accordance with each Lender's outstanding A Advances and B Advances (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.12) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

	
 

	
                         (b)     All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of facility fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or such fees are payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

	
 

	
                         (c)     Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or facility fee, as the case may be; provided, however, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

	
 

	
                         (d)     Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the

	
 

	
21

 

	

Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate

	
 

	
                         Section 2.12     Taxes.

	
 

	
                         (a)     Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.11, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Agent, (i) taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof or in which its principal office is located, (ii) taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender's Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) taxes imposed upon or measured by the overall net income of such Lender by the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, and (iv) United States income taxes (including withholding taxes with respect to payments hereunder) payable with respect to payments hereunder under laws (including without limitation any statute, treaty, ruling, determination or regulation) in effect on the date hereof in the case of each Bank and on the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

	
 

	
                         (b)     In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").

	
 

	
                         (c)     The Borrower will indemnify each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.12) and the Borrower will indemnify each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.12), in each case paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This

	
 

	
22

 

	
indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

	
 

	
                         (d)     Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

	
 

	
                         (e)     (i) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower with Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8BCI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, to establish that such Lender is not subject to United States withholding tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under this Agreement. If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from "Taxes" as defined in Section 2.12(a).

	
 

	
                              (ii)     In addition, each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under this Agreement (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Lender), on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower with Internal Revenue Service form W-8BIMY, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, to establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Lender.

	
 

	
                         (f)     For any period (i) during which any Tax is required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption a Lender chooses to transmit with an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY pursuant to subsection 2.12(e)(ii), or (ii) with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in Section 2.12(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided, or if such form otherwise is not required under the first sentence of subsection 2.12(e)(i) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.12(a) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall, at the expense of such Lender, take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes.

	
 

	
23

 

	
                         (g)     Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.12 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder.

	
 

	
                         Section 2.13     Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the A Advances made by it (other than pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.12 or, to the extent the Termination Date is not the same for all Lenders, pursuant to Section 2.06(a)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the A Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the A Advances made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them, provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

	
 

	
                         Section 2.14     Evidence of Debt.

	
 

	
                         (a)     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 Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the A Advances or the B Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender promissory notes or other evidence of such indebtedness, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and such Lender, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal, in the case of the A Advances, to the aggregate principal amount of the Commitment of such Lender and, in the case of the B Advances, to the outstanding principal amount of B Advances of such Lender; provided, however, that the execution and delivery of such promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness shall not be a condition precedent to the making of any Advance under this Agreement.

	
 

	
                         (b)     The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date, amount and tenor, as applicable, of each Borrowing, the Borrower that received the proceeds of such Borrowing, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and

	
 

	
24

 

	
Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender's share thereof.

	
 

	
                         (c)     The entries made in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

	
 

	
                         Section 2.15     Use of Proceeds.

	
 

	
                         (a)     Advances shall be used by the Borrower for Commercial Paper backup, for Non-Hostile Acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.

	
 

	
                         (b)     No portion of the proceeds of any Advances under this Agreement shall be used by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in any manner which might cause the Advances or the application of such proceeds to violate, or require any Lender to make any filing or take any other action under, Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board or to violate the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in each case as in effect on the date or dates of such Advances and such use of proceeds.

	
 

	
                         Section 2.16     Extension of the Commitment Termination Date. The Borrower may, not later than 30 days prior to each anniversary of the Effective Date (the "Current Anniversary Date"), and not more than once in any calendar year, commencing not later than 60 days prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, from time to time request that the Commitment Termination Date for all Eligible Lenders (as defined below) be extended for a period of one year by delivering to the Agent a copy of an extension request signed by the Borrower (an "Extension Request") in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto; provided that at the time of such request and as of the date of any such extension of the Commitment Termination Date, (i) the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article IV are correct on and as of such date, as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates only to an earlier date, in which case they were correct as of such earlier date, and (ii) no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default exists and is continuing. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of such Extension Request. On or prior to the fifteenth day (the "Determination Date") prior to the Current Anniversary Date, each Eligible Lender shall notify the Agent and the Borrower of its willingness or unwillingness to extend its Commitment Termination Date hereunder. Any Eligible Lender that shall fail to so notify the Agent and the Borrower on or prior to the Determination Date shall be deemed to have declined to so extend. In the event that, on or prior to the Determination Date, Eligible Lenders representing more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all Eligible Lenders then in effect shall consent to such extension, the Agent shall so advise the Lenders and the Borrower and, subject to execution of documentation evidencing such extension and consents, the Commitment Termination Date of each Eligible Lender (each a "Consenting Lender") that has consented on or prior to the Determination Date to so extend shall be extended to the date indicated in the Extension Request. Thereafter, (i) for each Consenting Lender, the term "Commitment Termination Date" as used herein and in any promissory note executed and delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof, shall at

	
 

	
25

 

	
all times refer to such date, unless it is later extended pursuant to this Section 2.16, and (ii) for each Lender that is not an Eligible Lender and for each Eligible Lender that either has declined on or prior to the Determination Date to so extend or is deemed to have so declined, the term "Commitment Termination Date" shall at all times refer to the date which was the Commitment Termination Date of such Lender immediately prior to the delivery to the Agent of such Extension Request. In the event that, as of the Determination Date, the Consenting Lenders represent 50% or less of the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all Eligible Lenders then in effect, the Agent shall so advise the Lenders and the Borrower, and none of the Lenders' Commitment Termination Dates shall be extended to the date indicated in the Extension Request and each Lender's Commitment Termination Date shall continue to be the date which was the Commitment Termination Date of such Lender immediately prior to the delivery to the Agent of such Extension Request. For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term "Eligible Lenders" means, with respect to any Extension Request, (i) all Lenders if no Lender's Commitment Termination Date had been extended pursuant to this Section 2.16 prior to the delivery to the Agent of such Extension Request, and (ii) in all other cases, those Lenders which had extended their Commitment Termination Date in the most recent extension of any Commitment Termination Date effected pursuant to this Section 2.16.

	
 

	
                         Section 2.17     Substitution of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation from the Borrower under Section 2.10(a) or (b) or if any Lender declines to extend its Commitment Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.16, the Borrower shall have the right, with the assistance of the Agent, to seek one or more substitute banks or financial institutions (which may be one or more of the Lenders) reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Borrower to purchase the Advances and assume the Commitments of such Lender, and the Borrower, the Agent, such Lender, and such substitute banks or financial institutions shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 8.07(a) hereof to effect the assignment of rights to and the assumption of obligations by such substitute banks or financial institutions; provided that such requesting Lender shall be entitled to (i) compensation under Section 2.10 for any costs incurred by it prior to its replacement, (ii) payment of all A Advances of such Lender then outstanding and all interest and fees accrued to the date of such payment, and (iii) if any Eurodollar Rate Advances of such Lender are then outstanding, any reimbursement which would be payable under Section 8.04(b) in connection with a prepayment of such Eurodollar Rate Advances on such date.

	
 

	
                         Section 2.18     Increased Commitments; Additional Lenders. 

	
 

	
                         (a)     No more than once per year from the Effective Date, the Borrower may, upon at least thirty (30) days notice to the Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Lenders), propose to increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments in increments of $25,000,000, the total amount of all such increases not to exceed $300,000,000 (the amount of any such increase, the "Increased Commitments"); provided that at the time of and after giving effect to any increase in the Commitments (and the delivery of the applicable commitment increase notice shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that on the effective date of such increase such statements are true) (i) the Borrower's Long-Term Debt ratings from Moody's and S&P are better than or equal to Baa2 and BBB, respectively; (ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article IV are correct on and as

	
 

	
26

 

	
of the date of such increase, before and after giving effect to such increase, as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates only to an earlier date, in which case they were correct as of such earlier date; (iii) no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default exists and is continuing; (iv) on the date of such increase, (x) there shall be no A Advances outstanding or all Interest Periods shall have ended and (y) and all accrued and unpaid interest on the A Advances and all accrued and unpaid Facility Fees shall have been paid in full and (v) after any such increase, no Lender's Commitment shall exceed 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments. Each Lender party to this Agreement at such time shall have the right (but no obligation), for a period of fifteen (15) days following receipt of such notice, to elect by notice to the Borrower and the Agent to increase its Commitment by a principal amount which bears the same ratio to the Increased Commitments as its then Commitment bears to the aggregate Commitments then existing.

	
 

	
                         (b)     If any Lender party to this Agreement shall not elect to increase its Commitment pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section, the Borrower may designate another lender or other lenders (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) which at the time agree to (i) in the case of any such lender that is an existing Lender, increase its Commitment and (ii) in the case of any other such lender (an "Additional Lender"), become a party to this Agreement. The sum of the increases in the Commitments of the existing Lenders pursuant to this subsection (b) plus the Commitments of the Additional Lenders shall not in the aggregate exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Increased Commitments.

	
 

	
                         (c)     An increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Agent of an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent signed by the Borrower, by each Additional Lender and by each other Lender whose Commitment is to be increased, setting forth the new Commitments of such Lenders and Additional Lenders on a revised Schedule II to this Agreement and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, together with such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to the Increased Commitments and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower with respect to the Increased Commitments as the Agent may reasonably request.

	
 

	
                         Section 2.19     Special Purpose Funding Vehicles.

	
 

	
                         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender, (a "Granting Lender") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an "SPC") the option to fund all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to fund pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by an SPC to fund any Advance, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund all or any part of such Advance, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Advance pursuant to the terms hereof. The funding of an Advance by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Advance were funded by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable for so long as, and to the extent, the Granting Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any SPC may

	
 

	
27

 

	
disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Advances to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee to such SPC.

There has been no material adverse change in the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations or properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, since April 2, 2004.

	
 

	
                         (f)     Litigation.

                         (h)     Payment of Taxes. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have filed or caused to be filed all material tax returns (federal, state, local and foreign) required to be filed and paid all material amounts of taxes shown thereon to be due, including interest and penalties, except for such taxes as are being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and with respect to which appropriate reserves are being maintained by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

                    (iii)        Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, is reasonably expected to incur, any Withdrawal Liability to any Multiemployer Plan.

                         (k)     Disclosure. No representation or warranty of the Borrower contained in this Agreement (including any Schedule furnished in connection herewith) contains any untrue statement of a material fact. No other document, certificate or written statement furnished to the Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower for use in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, taken as a whole with other documents, certificates or written statements furnished contemporaneously therewith, contains any untrue statement of fact or omits to state a material fact (known to the Borrower in the case of any documents not furnished by it) necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which the same were made.

Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Advances and other amounts owing hereunder), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.

The Lenders identified on the cover page of this Agreement as co-syndication agents shall not have any powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities under this Agreement other than those applicable to

Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: (i) may treat the payee of any Advance as the holder thereof until the Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Lender which is the payee of such Advance, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided in Section 8.07; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (vi) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier, telegram, or delivery) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

	
 

	
                         Section 7.03     CUSA and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, the Advances made by it, CUSA shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include CUSA in its individual capacity.

                         Section 7.04     Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other 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 Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

	
 

	
                         Section 7.05     Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the A Advances then held by each of them (or if no A Advances are at the time

	
 

	
41

 

	
outstanding or if any A Advances are held by Persons which are not Lenders, ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, syndication, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

	
 

	
                         Section 7.06     Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders' removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof or any Bank and, in each case having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

pay promptly on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent and of each Lender, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and out-of-pocket expenses), in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 8.04(a).

	
 

	
                         (b)     If any payment of principal of any Eurodollar Rate Advance or B Advance extended to the Borrower is made other than on the last day of the interest period for such Advance, as a result of a payment pursuant to Section 2.06 or acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, the Borrower shall, upon demand by any Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.

	
 

	
                         (c)     The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, each Lender and each director, officer, employee, agent, attorney and affiliate of the Agent and each Lender (each an "indemnified person") in connection with any expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Agent, a Lender or such indemnified persons may become subject, insofar as such expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or other proceedings commenced or threatened in respect thereof) arise out of the transactions referred to in this Agreement or arise from any use or intended use of the proceeds of the Advances, or in any way arise out of activities of the Borrower that violate Environmental Laws, and to reimburse the Agent, each Lender and each indemnified person, upon their demand, for any reasonable legal or other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or participating in any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action or other proceeding, whether commenced or threatened (whether or not the Agent, such Lender or any such person is a party to any action or proceeding out of which any such expense arises). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to an indemnified person with respect to indemnified liabilities which have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such indemnified person.

	
 

	
                         (d)     To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any indemnified person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby, any Advance or the use of the proceeds thereof.

	
 

	
                         Section 8.05     Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender 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 (time or demand, provisional or final, or general, but not special) at any time held and

	
 

	
45

 

	
other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement that are then due and payable, whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement, and each such Affiliate is hereby irrevocably authorized to permit such setoff and application. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.

	
 

	
                         Section 8.06     Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed and delivered when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Agent and when the Agent shall have been notified by each Bank that such Bank has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all Lenders. This Agreement and the fee letter referred to in Section 2.04(b) 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.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Any Lender may at any time (i) upon notice to Borrower, assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder to an Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender or (ii) without notice to or consent of the Borrower, pledge as security all or

	
 

	
46

 

	
any portion of its rights hereunder to any Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

	
 

	
                         (b)     By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

	
 

	
                         (c)     The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, the Commitment Termination Date of, and, with respect to the Borrower, principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

	
 

	
                         (d)     Within five days of its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee (together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 with respect thereto) and upon consent of the Agent and, so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default then exists and is continuing (and except for assignments to an Affiliate of the Lender or to another Lender), the Borrower thereto, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, (1) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (2) record the information contained

	
 

	
47

 

	
therein in the Register.

                         (g)     Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 8.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower received by it from such Lender.
