Agent that it has become unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligations to
make or maintain LIBOR Advances hereunder; 

then the
Administrative Agent shall give Borrowers prompt notice thereof and, so long as
such condition remains in effect, all Advances of the Lenders or such Affected
Lender, as the case may be, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
Prime Commercial Rate plus six percent (6%). 

     Section 2.04 Payments of
Interest on the Advances; Waterfall. 

     (a) Interest on the Advances.
Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders
interest on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances for the
period from and including the respective dates of such Advances to but excluding
the respective dates such Advances are paid in full, in each case at a rate per
annum equal to the applicable Interest Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders
interest at the applicable Post-Default Rate (i) on the outstanding
principal amount of any Advances during any period when any Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing 

20

 

and
(ii) on any interest or amount (other than principal of any Advance)
payable by Borrowers hereunder or under the Note that shall not be paid in full
when due, for the period from and including the due date thereof to but
excluding the date the same is paid in full. Accrued and unpaid interest on each
Advance shall be payable monthly on each Payment Date and on the Termination
Date, except that interest payable at the applicable Post-Default Rate shall
accrue daily and shall be payable promptly upon demand. 

     (b) Payment Date Reports. No
later than two (2) Business Days prior to each Payment Date, the
Administrative Agent shall provide to each Borrower a report stating (i) the
amount of interest due for the current Interest Period pursuant to
Section 2.04(a), and (ii) if such Payment Date occurs on a Termination
Date, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Advances;
provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to make any such
report shall not affect the obligations of any Borrower to make payment when due
of any amount owing hereunder or under any Note in respect of the related
Advances. 

     (c) Distributions on Payment
Dates. Without in any way limiting the obligations of each Borrower to make
the payments of interest that are required to be made in respect of the Advances
pursuant to Section 2.04(a) (with respect to any Payment Date, the
“Required Payments”), each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the
Administrative Agent, on each Payment Date, to apply all Collections received
from and after the immediately preceding Payment Date to but excluding such
Payment Date (the aggregate amount of such Collections, after deducting any
Reserves, shall be referred to as the “Applicable Collections Amount” in
respect of such Payment Date) in the following order of priority: 

first, to pay any costs, expenses, fees, charges, or
indemnities due the Administrative Agent under the terms of this Agreement or
any Loan Document; 

second, to pay any costs, expenses, fees, charges, or
indemnities due any Lender under the terms of this Agreement or any Loan
Document; 

third, to pay any Letter of Credit Facing Fee, Letter of
Credit Fee, or other fees due in respect of any Letter of Credit; 

fourth, to the payment of interest on the Advances; 

fifth, on a pro rata basis to repay any Letter of
Credit Exposure, any Revolving Loan Advances, and any Draw Loan Advances to any
Lender in full; 

sixth, to any obligations secured by any Collateral then
remaining; and 

seventh, to FCMC for the benefit of the Borrowers. 

          Section 2.05
Mandatory Prepayments. Within five (5) Business Days after the
occurrence of any Mandatory Prepayment Event, Borrowers shall prepay the
Advances in an aggregate amount equal to the Net Proceeds of such Mandatory
Prepayment Event. 

21

 

          Section 2.06
Breakage. If any Borrower makes any prepayment of the Advances on a day
that is not a Payment Date, Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender and hold each
Lender harmless from and against any actual loss or expense that such Lender may
sustain or incur arising from (i) the re-employment of funds obtained by such
Lenders to maintain the portion of such Lender’s Advances so prepaid or
(ii) fees payable to terminate the arrangements from which such funds were
obtained, in either case which actual loss or expense shall be equal to the
excess, as determined by the such Lender, of (x) its cost of obtaining
funds for such portion of such Lender’s Advances for the period from the date of
such prepayment through the following Payment Date over (ii) the amount of
interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds not
utilized by reason of such prepayment for such period. This Section 2.06
shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment in full of any Note.

     Section 2.07 Requirements of
Law. 

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

	 	(i)	 	shall subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any tax of any
      kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, such Lender’s Note(s) or
      any Advance(s) made by it (excluding net income taxes), or change the
      basis of taxation of payments to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
      respect thereof;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	shall impose, modify, or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit,
      compulsory advance, or similar requirement against assets held by, or
      deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or other
      extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by any office
      of such Lender; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	shall impose on the Administrative Agent or any Lender any other
      condition;

and
the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, by an amount which the Administrative Agent or such Lender
deems to be material, of making, continuing, or maintaining any Advance or to
reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such
case, Borrowers shall promptly pay the Administrative Agent or such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent or such
Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable thereafter incurred.

     (b) If any Lender shall have determined
that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, or applicability of, or any change
in, any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation
or application thereof, or compliance by such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority 

22

 

made
subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on that Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its
obligations hereunder to a level below that which that Lender or such
corporation (taking into consideration that Lender’s or such corporation’s
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by that Lender to
be material, then from time to time, Borrowers shall promptly pay to that Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will thereafter compensate that Lender for
such reduction. 

     (c) If the Administrative Agent or any
Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.07, it shall promptly notify Borrowers of the event by reason of
which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts
payable pursuant to this Section 2.07 submitted by the Administrative Agent
or a Lender to any Borrower shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers in the
absence of manifest error. 

     (d) Failure or delay on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 2.07 shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or
such Lender’s right to demand such compensation. 

          Section 2.08
Purpose of Advances. Letters of Credit and Revolving Loan Advances shall
be used solely (i) to assure that all state licensing requirements of FCMC
are met, and (ii) to pay approved expenses to Holding. Draw Loan Advances
shall be used solely to provide for working capital of FCMC. 

          Section 2.09
Facility Fee. Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay the Facility
Fee to the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date, for the account of each
applicable Lender according to its Pro Rata Share. 

     Section 2.10 Letters of
Credit. 

     (a) Letters of Credit. Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable Application and
Agreement for Letter of Credit, on any Business Day at least thirty
(30) Business Days prior to the Termination Date and upon Borrower’s
written request to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, the Issuing
Bank may issue such Letters of Credit in such face amounts as requested;
provided that: (i) on the date of issuance of any Letter of Credit
and after giving effect to the issuance thereof, the Letter of Credit Exposure
will not exceed the amount of such Letter of Credit Exposure stated in the
definition of Letter of Credit Commitment; (ii) the expiry date of any
Letter of Credit shall not be later than the date which is thirty (30) days
prior to the Termination Date; provided, however, that the Issuing
Bank may permit, in its sole discretion any Letter of Credit to remain
outstanding after the Termination Date if one or more Loan Parties shall deposit
prior to the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Termination
Date into an account with the Issuing Bank, in the name and for the benefit of
the Issuing Bank, an amount in cash equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of
the face amount of each such Letter of Credit as of such date,
(iii) Borrower has provided the information necessary for the Issuing Bank
to complete the form of Letter of Credit, and (iv) the issuance of such
Letter of Credit would not violate any policy of the Issuing 

23

 

Bank.
On and after the Effective Date, the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing
Bank for the account of any Borrower prior to the date of this Agreement and set
forth on Schedule 2.10 hereto shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement and deemed issued pursuant to the terms hereof. Any deposit held by
the Issuing Bank as collateral for the payment and performance of the
obligations of any Borrower under the outstanding Letters of Credit shall be
under the Administrative Agent’s exclusive dominion and control, including the
exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned
on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the
option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, such deposits shall not
bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate
in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative
Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for letter of credit disbursements for which
it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for
the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations or any other Obligations of
the Loan Parties at such time. 

     (b) Reimbursement Obligations;
Payment of Letter of Credit. Each Borrower agrees unconditionally,
irrevocably and absolutely to pay immediately to the Issuing Bank the amount of
each advance drawn under or pursuant to a Letter of Credit or any draft related
thereto (such obligation of each Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for an
advance made under a Letter of Credit or a related draft being hereinafter
referred to as a “L/C Reimbursement Obligation”), each such reimbursement
to be made by Loan Parties no later than the Business Day on which the Issuing
Bank makes payment of each such draft. If the Loan Parties at any time fail to
repay an L/C Reimbursement Obligation, the Loan Parties shall be deemed to have
elected to borrow pursuant to the Revolving Loan, as of the date of the advance
giving rise to the L/C Reimbursement Obligation in the amount of the unpaid L/C
Reimbursement Obligation. Such borrowing shall be made as of the date of the
payment giving rise to such L/C Reimbursement Obligation, automatically, without
notice and without any requirement to satisfy the conditions precedent otherwise
applicable to an advance under the Revolving Loan. If, for any reason, the Loan
Parties fail to repay an L/C Reimbursement Obligation on the day such L/C
Reimbursement Obligation arises, and, for any reason, the Administrative Agent
is unable to make or has no obligation to make an advance under the Revolving
Loan, then such L/C Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest from and after
such day, until paid in full, at the interest rate applicable to a LIBOR
Advance. Without limiting the foregoing in any way, in consideration for the
issuance by the Issuing Bank of the Letters of Credit, each Borrower hereby
authorizes, empowers, and directs the Administrative Agent to disburse directly
to the Issuing Bank from any Reserve Account, any other account maintain or
controlled by the Administrative Agent, or any other source, an amount equal to
the stated amount of each draft drawn under each Letter of Credit, plus all
interest, costs, expenses and fees due to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

     (c) Acceleration of Undrawn
Amounts. Should the Administrative Agent or any Lender demand payment of the
Obligations hereunder during the existence of an Event of Default prior to the
Termination Date, the Issuing Bank, by written notice to Borrower, may take one
or more of the following actions: (i) declare any obligation of the Issuing
Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder terminated, whereupon any such 

24

 

obligations shall forthwith terminate without any other notice of any
kind; or (ii) declare the outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure to be
forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived, and demand that the Loan
Parties pay to the Issuing Bank for deposit in a segregated non interest-bearing
cash collateral account, as security for the Obligations, an amount equal to the
Letters of Credit Exposure then outstanding at the time such notice is given.
Unless otherwise required by law, upon the full and final payment of the
Obligations, the Issuing Bank shall return to Borrower any amounts remaining in
said cash collateral account. 

     (d) Risk Participation. By the
issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing
the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing
Bank, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender with a
Letter of Credit Commitment, and each Lender with a Letter of Credit Commitment
shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit, in
an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability of
such Letter of Credit, and each such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any
payments made by the Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit. In consideration
and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender with a Letter of Credit
Commitment hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of such payment made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by
Borrower on the date due as provided in this Section 2.09(d), or of any
reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrower for any reason. Each
Lender with a Letter of Credit Commitment acknowledges and agrees that its
obligation to deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Issuing Bank, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share pursuant to this
Section 2.09(d) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance
shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of
Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in
Article 5 hereof. If any such Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any payments
made by the Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit as provided in this
Section 2.09(d), the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Issuing
Bank) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender
together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.

     (e) Letter of Credit Fees.
Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Bank: (a) a non-refundable fee equal to
fifty percent (50%) of the Applicable Margin, multiplied by the daily face
amount of each Letter of Credit outstanding, less the amount of any draws on
such Letter of Credit, payable in monthly installments in arrears, commencing on
the issuance date and continuing for so long as such Letter of Credit remains
outstanding; and (b) for the benefit of the Issuing Bank (i) the
Letter of Credit Facing Fee, and (ii) the Issuing Bank’s standard charges
for issuing letters of credit and for any amendments thereto, payable upon
demand by the Issuing Bank. 

     Section 2.11 Joint and Several
Liability. 

25

 

     (a) Each Borrower is accepting joint
and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in
consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lenders
under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each
Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of each other Borrower to
accept joint and several liability for the Obligations. 

     (b) Each Borrower, jointly and
severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, as a surety and as a
co-debtor, joint and several liability with each other Borrower, with respect to
the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without
limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section 2.11), it being the
intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and
several Obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among
them. 

     (c) If and to the extent that any
Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any Obligation as and
when due or to perform any Obligation in accordance with the terms thereof,
then, in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with
respect to, or perform, such Obligation, as applicable. 

     (d) The Obligations of each Borrower
under the provisions of this Section 2.11 constitute the absolute and
unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against
each such Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective
of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other
circumstances whatsoever. 

     (e) Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of
its joint and several liability, notice of any Advances issued under or pursuant
to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or
of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any
time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender under or in
respect of any Obligation, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages
and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices
and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement). Each Borrower hereby assents to, and
waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of
any Obligation, the acceptance of any payment of any Obligation, the acceptance
of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or
acquiescence by the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time or times in
respect of any Default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any
term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other
indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of
any Obligation, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or
in part, at any time or times, of any security for any Obligation or the
addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other
action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with
any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure
strictly or diligently to assert any right or to 

26

 

pursue
any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder,
which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.11 afford grounds for
terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from
any of its Obligations under this Section 2.11, it being the intention of
each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain
unsatisfied, the Obligations of such Borrower under this Section 2.11 shall
not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such
performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.11 shall
not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization,
arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to
any Borrower. The joint and several liability of Borrowers hereunder shall
continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger,
amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, constitution or place
of formation of the other Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

     (f) Each Borrower represents and
warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that such Borrower is
currently informed of the financial condition of each other Borrower and of all
other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon
the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby covenants that
such Borrower will continue to keep informed of each other Borrower’s financial
condition, the financial condition of any Guarantors, if any, and of all other
circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the
Obligations. 

     (g) The provisions of this
Section 2.11 are made for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by any
of them from time to time against any or all Borrowers as often as occasion
therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, or any or their respective successors or assigns first to
marshal any claims or to exercise any rights against any other Borrower or to
exhaust any remedies available against any other Borrower or to resort to any
other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder
or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.11 shall
remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or
otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof,
made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon any
insolvency proceeding of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this
Section 2.11 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment
had not been made. 

     (h) Each Borrower hereby agrees that it
will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against any
other Borrower with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under
any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral
security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in
full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower
with respect to any payments to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder
or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and
junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the
Obligations arising hereunder or 

27

 

thereunder, to the prior payment in full of the Obligations and, in
the event of any insolvency proceeding relating to any Borrower, its debts or
its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid
in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in
cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower
therefor. 

     (i) Each Borrower hereby agrees that,
after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of
Default, the payment of any amounts due with respect to the Indebtedness owing
by any Borrower to any other Borrower is hereby subordinated to the prior
payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees that
after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of
Default, such Borrower will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect
any Indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to such Borrower until the
Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts
in respect of such Indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and
received by such Borrower as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders. 

          Section 2.12
Disbursements from Reserve Account. Upon the request of Borrowers for a
disbursement from the Reserve Account, the Administrative Agent, in its sole
discretion, may disburse any such amount to any Disbursement Account.

     Section 3.01 Payments.

     (a) On or before the Effective Date,
Borrowers shall establish one or more blocked accounts at Huntington, including
without limitation the Reserve Account (“Blocked Accounts”), and
thereafter Borrowers shall (i) request in writing and otherwise take such
reasonable steps to ensure proceeds of Collateral and other payments due any
Borrower are forwarded directly to the Blocked Accounts, (ii) irrevocably
instruct the bank which maintains each Blocked account to transfer to the
Collection Account, on each Business Day, cleared funds in respect of all cash,
checks, drafts, or other similar items of payment so received in any Blocked
Account and (iii) deposit promptly, and in any event no later than the
first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, any cash, checks, drafts,
or other similar items of payment relating to or constituting payments made in
respect of any and all Collateral that are received directly by any Borrower
(notwithstanding the requirements of clause (i) above) into the Collection
Account. 

     (b) Borrowers may maintain at
Huntington or other bank reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in
the name of Borrowers, one or more accounts, including without limitation,
account number 01580177302, subject to a Control Agreement (a “Disbursement
Account”), into which the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time,
deposit the proceeds of Collections or Reserves, as applicable, for the payment
of any Approved Expenses and any other expenses approved by the Administrative
Agent to be 

28

 

paid
from the Reserves. 

     (c) On or before the Effective Date (or
such later date as the Administrative Agent shall consent to in writing with
respect to any deposit account entered into after the Effective Date), Borrowers
shall cause any bank where a Disbursement Account is maintained to enter into a
Control Agreement with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties and each Borrower, in form and substance acceptable to the
Administrative Agent, which shall become operative on or prior to the Effective
Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent shall consent to in
writing). No Borrower shall accumulate or maintain cash in any Disbursement
Account as of any date of determination in excess of checks outstanding against
such accounts as of that date and amounts necessary to pay Approved Expenses.

     (d) Each Blocked Account and
Disbursement Account shall be controlled accounts, with all cash, checks, and
other similar items of payment in such accounts securing payment of the Advances
and all other Obligations, and in which Borrowers shall have granted a Lien to
the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the
Security Agreement. 

     (e) All amounts deposited in the
Collection Account shall be deemed received by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with Section 2.04 and shall be applied (and allocated) by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.04. In no event shall any
amount be so applied unless and until such amount shall have been credited in
immediately available funds to the Collection Account. Each Borrower hereby
acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the Collection Account or
any Blocked Account established for Reserves. 

     (f) Each Borrower shall (i) hold
in trust for the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
all checks, cash, and other items of payment received by such Borrower or
Related Party for the account of any Borrower, and (ii) within one Business
Day after receipt by such Borrower or any Related Party of any checks, cash, or
other items of payment, deposit the same into the Collection Account or a
Blocked Account of such Borrower, as applicable. All proceeds of the sale or
other disposition of any Collateral shall be deposited directly into the
applicable Blocked Accounts. 

          Section 3.02
Computations. Interest on the Advances and fees and other charges
expressed as a percentage shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for
the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day)
occurring in the period for which payable. 

     Section 3.03 U.S. Taxes.

     (a) Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender such additional amount as is necessary
in order that the net payment of any amount due to the Administrative Agent or
that Lender hereunder after deduction for or withholding in respect of any U.S.
Tax imposed with respect to such payment (or in lieu thereof, payment of such
U.S. Tax by the Secured Parties), will not be less than the 

29

 

amount
stated herein to be then due and payable; provided that the foregoing
obligation to pay such additional amounts shall not apply: 

	 	(i)	 	to any payment to any Secured Party hereunder unless that Secured
      Party is entitled to submit a Form W-8BEN (relating to that Secured Party
      and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding on all interest
      to be received by it hereunder in respect of the Advances) or Form W-8ECI
      (relating to all interest to be received by that Secured Party hereunder
      in respect of the Advances), or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	to any U.S. Tax imposed solely by reason of the failure by that
      Secured Party to comply with applicable certification, information,
      documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality,
      residence, identity or connections with the United States of America of
      Secured Party if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of
      the United States of America as a precondition to relief or exemption from
      such U.S. Tax.

For
the purposes of this Section 3.03(a), (w) “Form W-8BEN” shall
mean Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United
States Tax Withholding) of the Department of the Treasury of the United States
of America, (x) “Form W-8ECI” shall mean Form W-8ECI (Certificate of
Exemption from Withholding on Income Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a
Trade or Business in the United States) of the Department of the Treasury of the
United States of America (or in relation to either such Form such successor and
related forms as may from time to time be adopted by the relevant taxing
authorities of the United States of America to document a claim to which such
Form relates), and (y) “U.S. Taxes” shall mean any present or future tax,
assessment or other charge or levy imposed by or on behalf of the United States
of America or any taxing authority thereof or therein. 

     (b) Within thirty (30) days after
paying any such amount to a Secured Party, and within thirty (30) days
after it is required by law to remit such deduction or withholding to any
relevant taxing or other authority, each Borrower shall deliver to that Secured
Party evidence satisfactory to that Secured Party of such deduction, withholding
or payment (as the case may be). 

     (c) Each Secured Party, on its behalf,
represents and warrants to Borrowers that, on the date of this Agreement, such
Secured Party is either incorporated under the laws of the United States or a

the jurisdiction of its formation, (b) has all requisite power, and has all
governmental licenses, authorizations, consents, and approvals, necessary to own
its assets and carry on its business as now being conducted, except where the
lack of such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) is qualified
to do business and is in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which the
nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary,
except where failure so to qualify would not be reasonably likely (either
individually or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect and

          Section 6.02
Litigation. There are no actions, suits, arbitrations, investigations or
proceedings pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against any Borrower or any
of their respective Subsidiaries or affecting any of the property thereof before

Effect or (ii) which questions the validity or enforceability of any of the
Loan Documents. 

          Section 6.03
No Breach. Neither (a) the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents or (b) the consummation of the financing transactions therein
contemplated in compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will conflict
with or result in a breach of the charter, by-laws, limited liability company
agreement (written or oral), certificate of formation (or equivalent documents
or oral agreements) of any Borrower, or any applicable law, rule or regulation,
or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority or other
agreement or instrument to which Borrower or any of their respective
Subsidiaries, is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is
bound or to which any of them is subject, or constitute a default under any such
agreement or instrument, or (except for the Liens created pursuant to this
Agreement) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property of
any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of
any such agreement or instrument. 

          Section 6.04
Action. Each Borrower has all necessary power, authority and legal right
to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Loan Documents
to which it is a party; the execution, delivery, and performance by each
Borrower of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on its part; and each Loan Document has been
duly and validly executed and delivered by each Borrower and constitutes a
legal, valid, and binding obligation of each Borrower, enforceable against each
Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting
creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to
enforceability. 

          Section 6.05

in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect
to which adequate reserves have been provided. The charges, accruals, and
reserves on the books of each Borrower in respect of taxes and other
governmental charges are, in the opinion of each Borrower, adequate. 

          Section 6.07

35

and the Notes, the borrowings hereunder, and the use of the proceeds thereof
will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of any

Lien (other than the Liens created under any Loan Document) on any of its or
their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law
or Contractual Obligation. 

          Section 6.09

     (a) The information, reports, financial
statements, exhibits and schedules furnished in writing by or on behalf of any
Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the
negotiation, preparation or delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents or included herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto,
when taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or
omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements herein or
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. All written information furnished after the date hereof by or on
behalf of each Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection
with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the financing transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby will be true, complete and accurate in every
material respect, or (in the case of projections) based on reasonable good faith
estimates, on the date as of which such information is stated or certified.
There is no fact known to a Responsible Officer of any Borrower that, after due
inquiry, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has
not been disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents or in a report, financial
statement, exhibit, schedule, disclosure letter or other writing furnished to
the Administrative Agent for use in connection with the financing transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby. 

     (b) The unaudited pro forma balance
sheet of FCMC, dated as of the Effective Date, a copy of which has heretofore
been delivered to the Administrative Agent, gives pro forma effect to the
consummation of each Transfer Agreement, the initial extensions of credit made
under this Agreement, and the payment of transaction fees and expenses related
to the foregoing, all as if such events had occurred on such date (the “Pro
Forma Balance Sheet”). The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared in a
manner consistent with GAAP and the financial statements described in
Section 7.01(a) (subject to the absence of footnotes required by GAAP and
subject to normal year-end adjustments) and, made in good faith and having a
reasonable basis set forth therein, presents fairly in all material respects the
financial condition of FCMC on an unaudited pro forma basis as of the date set
forth therein after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions.

          Section 6.11
ERISA. No Borrower nor any of their respective Subsidiaries has any Plan

36

 

          Section 6.12
True Sales. Any and all interest of a prior owner in, to and under any
Mortgage Loan or other Collateral has been sold, transferred, conveyed, and
assigned to the applicable Borrower pursuant to a legal sale or capital
contribution and such prior owner retains no interest in such Mortgage Loan or
other Collateral. 

          Section 6.13
No Burdensome Restrictions. No Requirement of Law or Contractual
Obligation of any Borrower would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. 

          Section 6.14
Subsidiaries. All of the Subsidiaries of FCMC are listed on Schedule
6.14 to this Agreement. 

          Section 6.15
Financial Statements; Solvency; Fraudulent Conveyance. 

     (a) The balance sheet of each Borrower
and any Subsidiaries as of the specific date and the related statements of
income and cashflows for that fiscal year, previously furnished to the Secured
Parties, fairly present the financial condition of each Borrowers as of that
date and the results of its operations for that fiscal period. No Borrower had,
on that date, any known liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent,
matured or unmatured, or liabilities for taxes, long-term leases, or unusual
forward or long-term commitments not disclosed by, or reserved against in, said
balance sheet and related statements, except for the Lenders’ extensions of
credit to Borrowers. Except for financial statements prepared for interim
periods between the fiscal year-end, all financial statements were prepared in
accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods
involved. Since the date of the statement, there has been no change in the
business, operations, assets or financial condition of any Borrower that could
reasonably be expected to have any Material Adverse Effect, nor is any Borrower
aware of any state of facts that (with or without notice or lapse of time or
both) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

     (b) As of the date hereof and
immediately after giving effect to each Advance and the application of the
proceeds thereof by Borrowers, the fair value of the tangible assets of FCMC is
greater than the fair value of the liabilities (including, without limitation,
contingent liabilities if and to the extent required to be recorded as a
liability on the financial statements of FCMC in accordance with GAAP) of FCMC,
and FCMC is and will be solvent, is and will be able to pay its debts as they
mature and does not and will not have an unreasonably small capital to engage in
the business in which it is engaged and proposes to engage. No Borrower intends
to incur, or believes that it has incurred, debt beyond its ability to pay such
debts as they mature. No Borrower is taking any action to commence insolvency,
bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a
receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of
such Borrower or any of its assets. No Borrower is pledging or transferring any
Assets with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors. 

     (c) FCMC is solvent and will not be
rendered insolvent by the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and the application of the proceeds thereof by such
Borrower, and, after giving effect to such 

37

 

financing transactions and the payment by such Borrower of any
dividends, shall not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with
which to engage in its business. 

          Section 6.16
Regulation U. No part of the proceeds of any Advance will be used to
purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose
of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. 

          Section 6.17
Licenses. Schedule 6.17 contains a complete and accurate
listing of all licenses currently held by FCMC and the status of each such
license. FCMC has all licenses necessary to carry on its business as now being
conducted and is licensed, qualified, and in good standing in each state where a
Mortgaged Property or REO Property is located if the laws of such state require
licensing or qualification in order to conduct business of the type conducted by
the Servicer, and in any event the Servicer is in compliance with the laws of
any such state to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of each
related Mortgage Loan and REO Property, and the servicing of each Mortgage Loan
and REO Property in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement. 

          Article VII.
Covenants of Borrower. Each Borrower hereby covenants and agrees
with the Secured Parties that, so long as any Advance is outstanding and until

and the portion of the fiscal year through the end of such period, setting forth
in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous year and
accompanied by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of each Borrower, which
certificate shall state that said financial statements fairly present the

Subsidiaries, if any, in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, as at the
end of, and for, such period (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments);

     (b) as soon as available and in any
event within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of

and its consolidated Subsidiaries, if any, for such year, setting forth in each
case in comparative form the figures for the previous year, and (ii) an
audit report on the items listed in clause (i) hereof prepared and
certified by independent certified public accountants of recognized standing and
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which audit report shall be unqualified
as to FCMC and shall state that such financial statements fairly present the
financial position of each Borrower and its Subsidiaries, if any, at the dates
indicated and the results of their operations and cash flows for the periods
indicated in conformity with GAAP and that the examination by such accountants
in connection with such financial 

38

auditing standards. The deliveries made pursuant to this clause shall be
accompanied by (X) any management letter prepared by the above-referenced
accountants and (Y) a certificate of such accountants that, in the course
of their examination necessary for their certification of the foregoing, they
have obtained no knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, or if, in the
opinion of such accountants, any Default or Event of Default shall exist, a
statement of the nature and status thereof; 

     (c) at the time that any Borrower
delivers financial statements to the Administrative Agent in accordance with
this Section 7.01 as the end of a quarter, Borrowers shall forward to the
Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of each Borrower
that demonstrates that Borrowers are in compliance with the financial covenants
set forth in Section 7.07; 

     (d) Borrowers shall furnish to the
Administrative Agent, at the time as it furnishes each set of financial
statements pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above, a certificate of
a Responsible Officer of each Borrower to the effect that, to the best of such
Responsible Officer’s knowledge, such Borrower, as applicable, during such
fiscal period or year has observed or performed all of its covenants and other
agreements, and satisfied every condition, contained in this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents to be observed, performed or satisfied by it, and that such
Responsible Officer has obtained no knowledge of any Default or Event of Default
except as specified in such certificate (and, if any Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, describing the same in reasonable detail and
describing the action such Borrower, as applicable, has taken or proposes to
take with respect thereto); 

     (e) (i) within 30 days
following the Effective Date, and thereafter within 30 days prior to the
end of each fiscal year, Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent an
annual budget of prospective cash receipts, cash payments, disbursements and
advances, which budget shall be updated and furnished to the Administrative
Agent within 30 days following the end of each quarter, in detail satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders; and 

     (f) from time to time such other
information regarding the financial condition, operations, or business of any
Borrower as the Administrative Agent may request. 

          Section 7.02
Litigation. Each Borrower shall promptly, and in any event within two
(2) Business Days after service of process on any of the following, give to
the Administrative Agent notice of all legal or arbitral proceedings affecting
any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries that questions or
challenges the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or as to
which there is a reasonable likelihood of an adverse determination that would
result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

          Section 7.03
Existence. Each Borrower and its respective Subsidiaries will: 

     (a) preserve and maintain its legal
existence and all of its material rights, privileges, licenses, and franchises;

39

 

     (b) comply with the requirements of all
applicable laws, rules, regulations, and orders of Governmental Authorities and
other Requirements of Law (including, without limitation, truth in lending, real
estate settlement procedures, consumer protection and all environmental laws) if
failure to comply with such requirements would be reasonably likely (either
individually or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect; 

     (c) keep adequate records and books of
account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied; 

     (d) pay and discharge all taxes,
assessments, and governmental charges or levies imposed on it or on its income

which is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and against
which adequate reserves are being maintained; 

     (e) permit representatives of the
Administrative Agent, during normal business hours upon prior written notice at
a mutually desirable time (or at any time and from time to time upon the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and during the continuance
thereof), to examine, copy and make extracts from any Borrower’s books and
records, to inspect any of its Properties, and to discuss its business and
affairs with its officers, all to the extent reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent; and

          Section 10.13
Non-liability of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to any
Borrower to review or inform any Borrower of any matter in connection with any
phase of any Borrower’s business or operations. Each Borrower agrees that
neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have liability to any
Borrower for losses suffered by any Borrower in connection with, arising out of,
or in anyway related to, the Transactions or any financing transaction
contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act,
omission, or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in
a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such
losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party
from which recovery is sought. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender
shall have any liability with respect to, and each Borrower hereby waives,
releases, and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect, consequential, or
punitive damages suffered by any Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or
in any way related to the Loan Documents, the financing transactions
contemplated thereby or any of the Transactions. 

     Section 10.14 Amendment and
Restatement. 

     (a) On the Closing Date, the Credit
Agreements and the Existing Forbearance Agreement shall be amended and restated
in their entirety by this Agreement in respect of “Tranche D”, as defined in the
Existing Forbearance Agreement, and the Credit Agreements, and the Existing
Forbearance Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force and effect except
to evidence (i) the incurrence by any Borrower of the indebtedness
evidenced thereby, (ii) the representations and warranties made by any
Borrower prior to the Effective Date, and (iii) any action or omission performed
or required to be performed pursuant to such Credit Agreements and the Existing
Forbearance Agreement prior to the Effective Date. This Agreement is not in any
way intended to constitute a novation of any obligation or liability of any
Borrower existing under any Credit Agreement or Existing Forbearance Agreement
or evidence payment of all or any portion of any such obligation and liability.
Each security agreement and financing statement filed pursuant to any Credit
Agreement or Existing Forbearance Agreement or any predecessor thereto shall
remain in full force and effect in all respects as if such obligation or
liability had been payable and effective originally as provided by this
Agreement. 

     (b) The terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the Administrative Agent’s, Lenders’, and Huntington’s rights and
remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall apply to all of
the obligations and liabilities incurred under any Credit Agreement or any
Existing Forbearance Agreement and any promissory notes or other instruments
issued thereunder. 

     (c) Each Borrower reaffirms each Lien
granted by it pursuant to any Existing Loan Document executed and delivered in
connection with any Credit Agreement or any Existing Forbearance Agreement to
the extent of the Collateral in favor of The Huntington National Bank, as Lender
and the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders and the Issuing Bank,
which Liens shall continue in full force and effect during the term of this
Agreement and any renewals thereof and shall continue to secure the Obligations.

52

 

     (d) On and after the Effective Date,
(i) all references to any Credit Agreement or any Existing Forbearance
Agreement (or to any amendment or any amendment and restatement thereof) in any
Loan Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to refer to the such
Credit Agreement or Existing Forbearance Agreement, as amended and restated
hereby, (ii) all references to any section (or subsection) of any Credit
Agreement or any Existing Forbearance Agreement in any Loan Document (but not
herein) shall be amended to become, mutatis mutandis, references to the
corresponding provisions of this Agreement, when applicable, and
(iii) except as the context otherwise provides, on or after the Effective
Date, all references to this Agreement herein (including for purposes of
indemnification and reimbursement of fees) shall be deemed to refer to each
Credit Agreement or Existing Forbearance Agreement, insofar as each is amended
and restated hereby. 

     (e) This amendment and restatement is
limited as written and is not a consent to any other amendment, restatement, or
waiver, whether or not similar and, except as expressly provided herein or in
any other Loan Document, all terms and conditions of each Existing Loan Document
remain in full force and effect unless otherwise specifically amended hereby or
any other Loan Document. 

          Section 10.15
Assignment of Liens. As of the Effective Date, Huntington hereby assigns
to the Administrative Agent all Liens and security interests in the Collateral
granted by any Borrower pursuant to any Credit Agreement, the Existing
Forbearance Agreement, and any assignment, pledge, security agreement, or other
Existing Loan Document executed in connection therewith. 

          Section 10.16
Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of each Lender and the
Administrative Agent provided by this Agreement and by law, the Administrative
Agent and each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any
Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent
permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any
Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply
against such amount any and all Property and deposits (general or special, time
or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits,
Indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or
owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or
for the credit or the account of any Borrower, irrespective of whether the
Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of any
Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender different from the branch or office holding
such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. Each Lender may set-off cash,
the proceeds of the liquidation of any Collateral and all other sums or
obligations owed by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of their
Affiliates to any Borrower against all of any Borrower’s obligations to the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or any of their Affiliates, whether under this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or under any other agreement between the
parties or between any Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or
otherwise, without prejudice to the Administrative Agent’s, any Lender’s or any
of their Affiliate’s right to recover any deficiency. Each Lender and the
Administrative Agent agrees promptly to notify 

53

 

each Borrower after
any such set-off and application made by such Lender or the Administrative
Agent; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such set-off and application. All amounts set off pursuant to
this Section 10.16 shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.04(d) or
Section 9.01(d), as applicable. 

          Section 10.17
Entire Agreement; Continuation of Agreement. This Agreement embodies the
entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and supersedes any and
all prior agreements, arrangements, and understandings relating to the matters
provided for herein. No alteration, waiver, amendments, change, or supplement
hereto shall be binding or effective unless the same is set forth in writing by
a duly authorized representative of each party hereto. 

          Section 10.18
Full-Recourse. The Obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall be full
recourse to each Borrower and all property and assets of each Borrower, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired, including, without limitation, the property and
assets of any Borrower which such Borrower pledges on the date hereof, or may
hereinafter from time to time pledge, as Collateral pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement. 

          Section 10.19
Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agree to hold
any confidential information that it may receive from any Borrower in connection
with this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (i) to its
Affiliates and to the Administrative Agent and any other Lender and their
respective Affiliates, (ii) to legal counsel, accountants, and other
professional advisors to such Lender, (iii) to regulatory officials,
(iv) to any Person as requested pursuant to or as required by law,
regulation, or legal process, (v) to any Person in connection with any
legal proceeding to which it is a party, (vi) to its direct or indirect
contractual counterparties in swap agreements or to legal counsel, accountants,
and other professional advisors to such counterparties, and (vii) to rating
agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating
relating to the Advances. Each Borrower agrees that the terms of this
Section 10.19 shall set forth the entire agreement between Borrowers and
each Lender (including the Administrative Agent) with respect to any
confidential information previously or hereafter received by such Lender in
connection with this Agreement, and this Section 10.19 shall supersede any
and all prior confidentiality agreements entered into by such Lender with
respect to such confidential information. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, confidential information shall not include, and each
party to any of the Loan Documents and their respective Affiliates (and the
respective partners, directors, officers, employees, advisors, representatives,
and other agents of each of the foregoing and their Affiliates) may disclose to
any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, (i) any information
with respect to the U.S. federal and state income tax treatment of the
transactions contemplated hereby and any facts that may be relevant to
understanding such tax treatment, which facts shall not include for this purpose
the names of the parties or any other Person named herein, or information that
would permit identification of the parties or such other Persons, or any pricing
terms or other nonpublic business or financial information that is unrelated to
such tax treatment or facts, and (ii) all materials of any kind (including
opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such tax treatment or facts that are
provided to any of the Persons referred to above, and it is hereby confirmed
that each of the Persons referred to above has been authorized to make such
disclosures since the commencement of discussions regarding the transactions
contemplated hereby. 

54

 

          Article XI.
The Administrative Agent. 

          Section 11.01
Appointment; Nature of Relationship. Huntington is hereby appointed by
each of the Lenders as its contractual representative (referred to as the
“Administrative Agent”) under this Agreement and under each other Loan
Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative
Agent in this Agreement to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this
Agreement, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual
representative upon the express conditions contained in this Section 11.01.
Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is
expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any
fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the
contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The
Administrative Agent acknowledges, solely in its capacity as the Administrative
Agent, that (i) it is a “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of
the term “secured party” as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code, and
(ii) it is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of
which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any
other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to the
Administrative Agent, Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent shall have the
right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in
effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices,
ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral,
the Collections of each Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and related matters,
(b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices,
amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim,
notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents,
(c) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections of each
Borrower and its Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) open
and maintain such bank accounts as the Administrative Agent deems necessary and
appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes
with respect to the Collateral and the Collections of each Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, (e) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights
and remedies of the Lenders with respect to each Borrower, the Obligations, the
Collateral, the Collections of each Borrower and its Subsidiaries, or otherwise
related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (f) incur and
pay such expenses as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate
for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the
Loan Documents. 

          Section 11.02
Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its
Affiliates, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
or attorneys-in-fact, shall be liable to any Lender for any action lawfully
taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection
herewith or in connection with any of the other Loan Documents (except to the
extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a
court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the such Person) or responsible in any manner to any of
the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations, or warranties made by
any Borrower contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents
or in any certificate, report, document, financial statement, or other written
or oral statement referred to or provided for in, or received 

55

 

by the Administrative
Agent under or in connection herewith, or in connection with the other Loan
Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency therefor of any of the other Loan
Documents, or for any failure of any Borrower to perform its obligations under
this Agreement or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible
to any Lender for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability,
collectibility, or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the other Loan
Documents or for any representations, warranties, recitals, or statements made
herein or therein or made by any Borrower in any written or oral statement or in
any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates, or any
other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by the
Administrative Agent to the Lenders or by or on behalf of any Borrower to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender or be required to ascertain or inquire as to
the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions,
covenants, or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the
proceeds of the Advances or of the existence or possible existence of any
Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books, or records of
any Borrower. The Administrative Agent is not a trustee for the Lenders and owes
no fiduciary duty to the Lenders. Each Lender recognizes and agrees that the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to determine independently whether
the conditions described in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 have been satisfied and,
when the Administrative Agent disburses funds to any Borrower, it may rely fully
upon statements contained in the relevant requests by such Borrower. 

          Section 11.03
Reliance on Communications. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
rely upon, and shall not incur any liability of relying upon, any Note, notice,
consent, request, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex,
electronic mail message, statement, instrument, paper, document, or other
writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting,
or other distribution) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct
and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect
to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative
Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent. For purposes
of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Sections 5.01
and 5.02, each Lender that has signed this Agreement or has become a party
hereto pursuant to the terms of Section 12 hereof shall be deemed to have
consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each document or
other matter required thereunder to be consented to, approved by, or acceptable
or satisfactory to, a Lender, unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from such Lender prior to the applicable date specifying its
objection thereto. 

          Section 11.04
Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its
duties as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document
by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be
answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or
its authorized agents, and to the extent any conduct is found in a final
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or
any such agents or attorneys-in-fact. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to the advice of legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals selected by
the Administrative Agent concerning the contractual arrangement between the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the
Administrative Agent’s duties under this Agreement and under any other Loan
Document. Borrowers and Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate
any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates, and that any
such Affiliate that performs 

56

 

duties in connection
with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the
indemnification, waiver, and other protective provisions to which the
Administrative Agent is entitled under Section 10.03. 

          Section 11.05
The Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The
Administrative Agent may incur and pay expenses to the extent the Administrative
Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and
fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan
Documents, including court costs, attorneys fees and expenses, fees and expenses
of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of
collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and
costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral,
whether or not Borrowers are obligated to reimburse the Administrative Agent or
Lenders for such expenses pursuant to the Credit Agreement or otherwise. The
Administrative Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient
amounts from the Collections of any Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries
received by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Administrative Agent for
such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts
to any Lender or any other Person. In the event the Administrative Agent is not
reimbursed for such costs and expenses from the Collections of any Borrower and
its Subsidiaries received by the Administrative Agent, Lenders agree to
reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent for their Pro Rata Share of
(i) any amounts not reimbursed by such Borrower for which the
Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by such Borrower under the
Loan Documents, (ii) any other expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution,
delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including,
without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in
connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or
between two or more of the Lenders), and (iii) any liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses, or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered
in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including,
without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative
Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement
of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents;
provided, that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the
foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent and (ii) any
indemnification required pursuant to Section 2.06 shall, notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 11.05, be paid by the relevant Lender in
accordance with the provisions thereof. The obligations of the Lenders under
this Section 11.05 shall survive payment of the Advances and termination of
this Agreement. 

          Section 11.06
Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless
the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or any
Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Event of Default
and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the
Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give
prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall in all

57

 

cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or under
any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required
Lenders (or to the extent specifically required, all the Lenders) and such
request and any action or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binging upon
all the Lenders (including their successors and assigns). 

          Section 11.07
Rights as a Lender. If the Administrative Agent is also a Lender, the
Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement
and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its
Advances as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when
the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates,
include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally
engage in any kind of business, in addition to those contemplated by this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries in which such Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby
from engaging with any other Person and without any duty to account therefor to
the Lenders. 

          Section 11.08
Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Except for any notice, report, document,
or other information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not
have any duty or responsibility (either initially or on a continuing basis) to
provide any Lender with any notice, report, document, credit information, or
other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, or business of
any Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of the
Administrative Agent (regardless of whether in its capacity as Administrative
Agent) or any of its Affiliates. 

          Section 11.09
Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign
at any time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Lenders and
to each Borrower. Upon such receipt of any such notice of resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with each Borrower, to
appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States
of America, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States
of America. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days
after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then
the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided
that if the Administrative Agent shall notify each Borrower and Lenders that no
qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall
nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the
case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of

58

 

the Lenders under any
of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold
such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is
appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to
be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or
to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph). Upon
the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder,
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent,
and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties
and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by
any Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrowers and such
successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 11.09 and
Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the
retiring Administrative Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent. 

          Section 11.10
Administrative Agent Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for its account, the Administrative Agent Fee on the
Effective Date and on each anniversary thereof. The Administrative Agent agrees
that no Administrative Agent Fee shall accrue while Huntington is the sole
Lender under this Agreement. 

          Section 11.11
Execution of Collateral Documents. Lenders hereby empower and authorize
the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to each Borrower on their behalf
the Loan Documents and all related financing statements and any financing
statements, agreements, documents, or instruments as shall be necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of this Agreement. 

          Section 11.12
Collateral. (a) Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the
Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any
Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and
payment and satisfaction in full by any Borrower of all Obligations,
(ii) constituting property in which no Borrower owned any interest at the
time the Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, (iii) constituting
property leased to any Borrower or its Subsidiary under a lease that has expired
or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement,
(iv) constituting property that any Borrower has authorization to Transfer
under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
(v) constituting property for which such release shall otherwise have been
approved by the Required Lenders. Upon request by the Administrative Agent or
any Borrower at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative
Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of
Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.12; provided, however, that
(1) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any document
necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in the Administrative Agent’s
opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any
obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without
recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in
any manner discharge, affect, or impair any Obligation of any Borrower or any
Lien (other than a 

59

 

Lien expressly being
released) upon any interest retained by any Borrower, including, the proceeds of
any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

     (b) The Administrative Agent shall
have no obligation whatsoever to any of Lenders to assure that the Collateral
exists or is owned by any Borrower or is cared for, protected, or insured or has
been encumbered, or that Liens of the Administrative Agent have been properly or
sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are
entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular
manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue
exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to
the Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being
understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission,
or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein,
the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its
sole discretion given the Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral
in its capacity as one of the Lenders, and that the Administrative Agent shall
have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the
foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein. 

          Section 11.13
Agency for Perfection. The Administrative Agent hereby appoints each
other Lender as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for
the purpose of perfecting the Administrative Agent’s Liens in assets which, in
accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession.
Should any Lender obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall
notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative
Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative
Agent or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions. 

          Article XII.
Assignments. 

          Section 12.01
Assignments. 

     (a) Successors and Assigns
Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement except
(i) to an assignee in accordance with Section 12.01(b), or
(ii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the
restrictions of Section 12.01(e) (and any other attempted assignment or
transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of
the Secured Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement. 

     (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any
Lender may at any time assign to one or more banks or other entities
(“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially 

60

 

in the
form of Exhibit E or in such other form as may be agreed to by the
parties thereto. Each such assignment shall be subject to the following: 

     1) Minimum Amounts. 

     i) in the case of any assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Advances at
the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate
of a Lender no minimum amount need be assigned; and 

     ii) in any case not described in clause
(b)(i)(A) of this Section 12.01, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which
for this purpose includes Advances outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable
Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the
Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as
of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the
Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than
$2,500,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a term facility, unless
each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, each Borrower otherwise consents (each such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

     2) Proportionate Amounts. Each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect
to the Advance or the Commitment assigned. 

     3) Required Consents. No consent
shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph
(b)(i)(B) of this Section 12.01 and, in addition: 

     i) the consent of each Borrower (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless
(x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such
assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender or is in connection with merger or consolidation of a Lender or a
Transfer by Lender of one or more of its loan portfolios; and 

     ii) the consent of the Administrative
Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be
required for assignments in respect of (i) an unfunded or revolving credit
facility if such assignment is to a person that is not a Lender with a
Commitment in respect of such facility or an Affiliate of such Lender with
respect to such Lender or (ii) a funded term facility to a Person who is not a
Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender. 

61

 

     4) Assignment and Acceptance.
The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation
fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in form prescribed by the
Administrative Agent. 

     5) No Assignment to any
Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to any Borrower or to any of its
Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 

     6) No Assignment to Natural
Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person. 

     (c) Effect; Effective Date. Upon
(i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of an assignment, together with
any consents required by Section 12.01(b), and (ii) payment of a
$3,500 fee to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment (unless
such fee is waived by the Administrative Agent), such assignment shall become
effective on the assignment effective date specified in such assignment. The
assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that
none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and
Advances under the applicable assignment agreement constitutes “plan assets” as
defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and
under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the
assignment effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all
purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document
executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and
obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it
were an original party thereto, and the transferor Lender shall be released with
respect to the Commitment and Advances assigned to such Purchaser without any
further consent or action by any Borrower, Lenders, or the Administrative Agent.
In the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender under
this Agreement but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject
to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that survive
payment of the Advances and termination of the applicable agreement. Upon the
consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this
Section 12.01, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent, and each
Borrower shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its
Advances be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes
or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and
new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser,
in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as
adjusted pursuant to such assignment. 

     (d) Register. The Administrative
Agent shall maintain at one of its offices in Columbus, Ohio a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal
amounts of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from
time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and Lenders may treat
each Person whose 

62

 

name
is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by each Borrower at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

     (e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender
may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of that Lender, including
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank;
provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release that Lender
from any of its obligations under this Agreement or substitute any such pledge
or assignee for such Lender as a party to this Agreement; provided, however that
such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any
manner permitted by applicable law. 

          Section 12.02
Dissemination of Information. Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to
disclose to any Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan
Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective
Transferee any and all documents and information in such Lender’s possession
relating to any Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided, that each
Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 10.19 of
this Agreement. 

          Section 12.03
Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any
Transferee that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or any
State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently
with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of
Section 3.03 of this Agreement.
