Credit and Swing Loan Commitments.

 

2.1.1.                     Revolving
Credit Loans.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying
upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Bank severally
agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans in either Dollars or one or more Optional
Currencies to the Borrower at any time or from time to time on or after the
date hereof to the Expiration Date provided that (i) after giving

 

26

 

effect to each such
Revolving Credit Loan the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of Revolving
Credit Loans from such Bank shall not exceed such Bank’s Revolving Credit
Commitment minus such Bank’s Ratable Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of
Letters of Credit Outstanding, and (ii) no Loan to which the Base Rate Option
applies shall be made in an Optional Currency. Within such limits of time and
amount and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may
borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1.1.

 

2.1.2.                     Swing
Loans. 

 

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying
upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, and in order to
facilitate loans and repayments between Settlement Dates, PNC Bank may, at its
option, cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make swing loans (the
“Swing Loans”) to the Borrower at any time or from time to time after the date
hereof to, but not including, the Expiration Date, in an aggregate principal
amount up to but not in excess of Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars
($10,000,000.00) (the “Swing Loan Commitment”), provided that the aggregate
principal amount of PNC Bank’s Swing Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans of
all the Banks and the Letters of Credit Outstanding at any one time outstanding
shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of all the Banks. Within such
limits of time and amount and subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section
2.1.2.

 

2.2                                 Nature

Each Bank shall be obligated to participate in each
request for Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.4.1 [Revolving
Credit Loan Requests] in accordance with its Ratable Share. The aggregate
Dollar Equivalent amount of each Bank’s Revolving Credit Loans outstanding
hereunder to the Borrower at any time shall never exceed its Revolving Credit
Commitment minus its Ratable Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of Letters
of Credit Outstanding, subject to Section 4.5.1 [Currency Fluctuations]. The
obligations of each Bank hereunder are several. The failure of any Bank to
perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the
Borrower to any other party nor shall any other party be liable for the failure
of such Bank to perform its obligations hereunder. The Banks shall have no
obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans hereunder on or after the Expiration
Date.

 

2.3                                 Commitment

Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the
account of each Bank, as consideration for such Bank’s Revolving Credit
Commitment hereunder, a nonrefundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”)
equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (computed on the basis of a year of
three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the
case may be, and actual days elapsed) on the average daily difference between
the amount of (i) such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment as the same may be
constituted from time to time (for purposes of this computation, PNC Bank’s
Swing Loans shall be deemed to be borrowed amounts under its Revolving Credit
Commitment) and the (ii) sum of such Bank’s Dollar Equivalent Amount of
Revolving Credit Loans outstanding plus the Dollar Equivalent Amount of its
Ratable Share of

 

27

 

Letters of Credit Outstanding. All Commitment Fees
shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each April, July, October and
January after the date hereof and on the Expiration Date or upon acceleration
of the Loan.

in accordance with Section 2.2 [Nature of Banks’ Obligations]. Each Bank
shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan to the
Administrative Agent such that the Administrative Agent is able to, and the
Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the Banks have made funds available
to it for such purpose and subject to Section 6.2 [Each Additional Loan],
fund such Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower in the applicable currency and
immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 4:00 p.m.,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, on the applicable Borrowing Date, provided
that if any Bank fails to remit such funds to the Administrative Agent in a
timely manner, the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to

Borrowing Date, and such Bank shall be subject to the repayment obligation in

for any reason whatsoever, demand repayment of the Swing Loans, and each Bank
shall make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Bank’s Ratable

if PNC Bank so requests, accrued interest thereon, provided that no Bank
shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Credit Loans in excess of its

Optional Currency if any Bank notifies the Administrative Agent by 5:00 p.m.,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, four (4) Business Days prior to the Borrowing
Date for such Loans that such Bank cannot provide its share of such Loans in
such Optional Currency due to the introduction of, or any change in, any
applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by
any Official Body charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by such Bank (or any of its lending offices) with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such Official Body
which would make it unlawful or impossible for such Bank (or any of its lending
offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make a Loan in an Optional
Currency. In the event the Administrative Agent timely receives a notice from a
Bank pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will notify
the Borrower no later than 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, three (3)
Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date for such Loans that the Optional
Currency is not then available for such Loans, and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly thereafter notify the Banks of the same. If the Borrower

such Loans will be automatically cancelled.

 

2.8.3.                     Notices

Euro-Rate Option.

 

If the Borrower delivers a Loan Request requesting
that the Banks renew the Euro-Rate Option with respect to an outstanding
Borrowing Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional
Currency, the Banks shall be under no obligation to renew such Euro-Rate Option
if any Bank delivers to the Administrative Agent a notice by 5:00 p.m.,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, four (4) Business Days prior to effective date
of such renewal that such Bank cannot continue to provide Revolving Credit
Loans in such Optional Currency. In the event the Administrative Agent timely

Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower no later than 12:00 noon,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, three (3) Business Days prior to the renewal
date that the renewal of such Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency
is not then available, and the Administrative

 

31

 

Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Banks of
the same. If the Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Borrower that
any such continuation of Optional Currency Loans is not then available, any
notice of renewal with respect thereto shall be deemed withdrawn, and such
Optional Currency Loans shall be redenominated into Base Rate Loans in Dollars
with effect from the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such
Optional Currency Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the
Borrower and the Banks of any such redenomination, and in such notice, the
Administrative Agent will state the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of the
redenominated Optional Currency Loans as of the Computation Date with respect
thereto and such Bank’s Ratable Share thereof.

 

2.8.4.                     Requests
for Additional Optional Currencies.

 

The Borrower may deliver to the Administrative Agent a
written request that Revolving Credit Loans hereunder also be permitted to be

currencies specified in the definition of “Optional Currency” herein provided
that such currency must be freely traded in the offshore interbank foreign
exchange markets, freely transferable, freely convertible into Dollars and
available to the Banks in the applicable interbank market. The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify the Banks of any such request promptly after the
Administrative Agent receives such request. The Administrative Agent and each
Bank may grant or accept such request in their sole discretion. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the acceptance or
rejection by the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks of the Borrower’s
request. The requested currency shall be approved as an Optional Currency
hereunder only if the Administrative Agent and all of the Banks approve of the
Borrower’s request.

(5) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the
Administrative Agent, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Each Letter

and may be denominated in either Dollars or an Optional Currency. Subject to
the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of the other
Banks set forth in this Section 2.9 [Letter of Credit Subfacility], the
Administrative Agent or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates will issue
a Letter of Credit provided that each Letter of Credit shall (A) have a
maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, and
(B) in no event expire later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the
Expiration Date, provided, further, that a Letter of Credit may
expire after the Expiration Date if the Borrower provides cash collateral
acceptable to the Administrative Agent

 

32

 

in its sole discretion no
later than sixty (60) days prior to the Expiration Date, and providing that in
no event shall (i) the Dollar Equivalent amount of Letters of Credit
Outstanding exceed, at any one time, Sixty Million and 00/100 Dollars
($60,000,000.00) or (ii) the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage
exceed, at any one time, the Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Existing Letter

The Borrower shall pay (on behalf of RSC, in the case
of the RSC Letter of Credit (PNC)) in Dollars (i) to the Administrative
Agent for the ratable account of the Banks a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”)
equal to the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Percentage (computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed), and (ii) to the Administrative
Agent for its own account a fronting fee equal to one eighth of one percent
(.125%) per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days
elapsed), which fees shall be computed on the daily average Dollar Equivalent
amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding and shall be payable quarterly in
arrears commencing with the first day of each April, July, October and January
following issuance of each Letter of Credit and on the Expiration Date. The
Borrower shall also pay (on behalf of RSC, in the case of the RSC Letter of
Credit (PNC)) to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the Administrative
Agent’s sole account the Administrative Agent’s then in effect customary fees
and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit as
the Administrative Agent may generally charge or incur from time to time in
connection with the issuance, maintenance, modification (if any), assignment or
transfer (if any), negotiation,
and administration of Letters of Credit.

2.9.3.1               Immediately upon
the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Administrative
Agent a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in
an amount equal to such Bank’s Ratable Share of the maximum amount available to
be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing,
respectively.

 

2.9.3.2               In the event of any
request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee
thereof, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower (or RSC, in
the case of the RSC Letter of Credit (PNC)) thereof. Provided that it shall
have received such notice by 10:00 a.m., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time (any
notice received after 10:00 a.m., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, on a
particular day shall be deemed to have been received by 10:00 a.m., Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania time, on the next Business Day), on the applicable Drawing Date,
the Borrower (or RSC, in the case of the RSC Letter of Credit (PNC)) shall
reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent shall
sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) the Administrative
Agent in Dollars prior to 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, on each
date that an amount is paid by the Administrative Agent under any Letter of
Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the Dollar
Equivalent amount so paid by the Administrative Agent. In the event the Borrower
(or

 

33

 

RSC, in the case of the RSC Letter of Credit (PNC))
fails to pay the Administrative Agent the full Dollar Equivalent amount of any
drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
time, on the Drawing Date, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each
Bank thereof, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving
Credit Loans be made by the Banks in Dollars under the Base Rate Option to be
disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the
amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and subject
to the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 [Each Additional Loan] other
than any notice requirements. Any notice given by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 2.9.3.2 [Disbursements, Reimbursement] may be
oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an
immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of
such notice.

 

2.9.3.3               Each Bank shall
upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.9.3.2 [Disbursements, Reimbursement]
pay to the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars in immediately available
funds equal to its Ratable Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the
drawing, whereupon the participating Banks shall (subject to Section 2.9.3.4)
each be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan in Dollars under the Base
Rate Option to the Borrower in that amount. If any Bank so notified fails to
make available in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Administrative Agent the amount of such Bank’s Ratable Share of such Dollar
Equivalent amount by no later than 2:00 p.m., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, on
the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Bank’s obligation to make
such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Bank makes such
payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate
during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate
per annum equal to the rate applicable to Loans under the Revolving Credit Base
Rate Option on and after the fourth (4th) day following the Drawing
Date. The Administrative Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of
the Drawing Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent to give any such
notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Bank to effect
such payment on such date shall not relieve such Bank from its obligations to
fund under this Section 2.9.3.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement] upon
receipt of such notice.

 

2.9.3.4               With respect to any
unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit Loans under
the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in whole or in part as contemplated by
Section 2.9.3.2 [Disbursements, Reimbursement] because of the Borrower’s
failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 [Each Additional
Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements or for any other
reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Administrative
Agent a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in Dollars in the
Dollar Equivalent amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall
be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest
at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans under the Base
Rate Option. Each Bank’s payment to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 2.9.3.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement] shall be deemed to be a payment
in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall
constitute a “Participation Advance” from such Bank in satisfaction of its
participation obligation under this Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements,
Reimbursements].

 

34

 

2.9.4.                     Repayment
of Participation Advances.

 

2.9.4.1               Upon (and only
upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for its account of immediately
available funds from the Borrower (i) in reimbursement of any payment made
by the Administrative Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which
any Bank has made a Participation Advance to the Administrative Agent, or
(ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by the Administrative
Agent under such a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent will pay to each
Bank, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent, the
amount of such Bank’s Ratable Share of such funds, except the Administrative
Agent shall retain the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Bank
that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by
Administrative Agent.

 

2.9.4.2               If the
Administrative Agent is required at any time to return to any Loan Party, or to
a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency
Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by any Loan Party to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.9.4.1 [Repayment of
Participation Advances] in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of
Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Bank shall, on demand of the
Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent the amount
of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Administrative Agent
plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such
amounts are returned by such Bank to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per
annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time.

 

2.9.5.                     Documentation.

 

Each Loan Party (and RSC, in the case of the RSC
Letter of Credit (PNC)) agrees to be bound by the terms of the Administrative
Agent’s application and agreement for letters of credit and the Administrative
Agent’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of
credit, though such interpretation may be different from such Loan Party’s (or
RSC’s, in the case of the RSC Letter of Credit (PNC)) own. In the event of a
conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement, this
Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of
gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Administrative Agent shall not be
liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or
commission, in following any Loan Party’s (or RSC’s, in the case of the RSC
Letter of Credit (PNC)) instructions or those contained in the Letters of
Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

 

2.9.6.                     Determinations
to Honor Drawing Requests.

 

In determining whether to honor any request for
drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the
Administrative Agent shall be responsible only to determine that the documents
and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been
delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter
of Credit.

 

35

 

2.9.7.                     Nature of
Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.

 

Each Bank’s obligation in accordance with this
Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans or Participation Advances, as contemplated
by Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement], as a result of a drawing
under a Letter of Credit, and the Obligations of the Borrower (or RSC, in the
case of the RSC Letter of Credit (PNC)) to reimburse the Administrative Agent
upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of
this Section 2.9 [Letter of Credit Subfacility] under all circumstances,
including the following circumstances:

 

(i)                                     any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may
have against the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, the Borrower,
any other Loan Party, RSC or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

 

(ii)                                  the
failure of any Loan Party, RSC or any other Person to comply, in connection
with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in
Section 2.1 [Revolving Credit Commitments], 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan
Requests], 2.5 [Making Revolving Credit Loans] or 6.2 [Each Additional Loan] or
as otherwise set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Credit
Loan, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the
making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Banks to make
Participation Advances under Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement];

 

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

 

(iv)                              any
claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Loan Party, RSC or any
Bank against any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any
claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, crossclaim, defense or other right
which any Loan Party, RSC or any Bank may have at any time against a
beneficiary, successor beneficiary any transferee or assignee of any Letter of
Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may
be acting), the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates or any Bank or any other
Person or, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated
herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction
between any Loan Party, RSC or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party and the beneficiary
for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

 

(v)                                 the
lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any
signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency,
accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument,
certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter
of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of
Credit, or the transport of any property or provisions of services relating to
a Letter of Credit, in each case even if the Administrative Agent has been
notified thereof;

 

(vi)                              payment
by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates under any Letter of Credit
against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which
does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

 

36

 

(vii)                           the solvency of, or any acts
of omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person
having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit,
or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other
characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

 

(viii)                        any failure by the
Administrative Agent to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by any
Loan Party (or RSC, in the case of the RSC Letter of Credit (PNC)), unless the
Administrative Agent has received written notice from such Loan Party (or RSC,
in the case of the RSC Letter of Credit (PNC)) of such failure within six (6)
Business Days after the Administrative Agent shall have furnished such Loan
Party or RSC, as applicable, a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is
material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

 

(ix)                                any
adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party, RSC or Subsidiaries of
a Loan Party;

 

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

 

(xi)                                the
occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Loan
Party (or RSC, in the case of the RSC Letter of Credit (PNC));

 

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

 

(xiii)                          the fact that the Expiration
Date shall have passed or this Agreement or the Commitments hereunder shall
have been terminated; and,

 

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

 

2.9.8.                     Indemnity.

 

In addition to amounts payable as provided in
Section 9.5 [Reimbursement and Indemnification of Administrative Agent by
Loan Parties], the Loan Parties (and RSC, in the
case of the RSC Letter of Credit (PNC)) hereby agree to protect, indemnify, pay
and save harmless the Administrative Agent and any of its Affiliates that has
issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands,
liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs,
charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of
counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which the Administrative Agent
or any of its Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or
indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of
(A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent
or any of its Affiliates as determined by a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction or (B) the wrongful dishonor by the Administrative
Agent or any of its Affiliates of a proper demand for payment made under any
Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission,
whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or

 

37

 

future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts
or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).

 

2.9.9.                     Liability
for Acts and Omissions.

 

As between any Loan Party (or RSC, in the case of the
RSC Letter of Credit (PNC)) and the Administrative Agent, or any of its
Affiliates, such Loan Party (or RSC, in the case of the RSC Letter of Credit
(PNC)) assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters
of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible for any of the following including any losses or
damages to any Loan Party (or RSC, in the case of the RSC Letter of Credit
(PNC)) or other Person or property relating therefrom:  (i) the form, validity, sufficiency,
accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in
connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit,
even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid,
insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the Administrative
Agent or any of its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or
benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove
to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the
beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such
Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions
required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any
Loan Party (or RSC, in the case of the RSC Letter of Credit (PNC)) against any
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute
between or among any Loan Party (or RSC, in the case of the RSC Letter of
Credit (PNC)) and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such
transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission
or delivery of any messages, by mail, electronic mail, cable, telex or
otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation
of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or
otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such
Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by
the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing
under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from
causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates,
as applicable, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall
affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Administrative Agent’s
or any of its Affiliate’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding
sentence shall relieve the Administrative Agent from liability for the
Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection
with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such
sentence. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates
be liable to any Loan Party or RSC for any indirect, consequential, incidental,
punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation
attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of
any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or
other communication believed in good faith by the Administrative Agent or such
Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant
Loan Party (or RSC, in the case of the RSC Letter of Credit (PNC)) for a Letter
of

 

38

 

Credit, (ii) may honor
any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially
to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii)
may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit,
whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise
any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to
reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been
honored, together with any interest paid by the Administrative Agent or its
Affiliate; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a
statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even
if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered
separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other
document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of
Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully
honored under the Laws or practices of the place where such bank is located;
and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Administrative
Agent or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s
request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a
carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in
connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject to such Order,
notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with
such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

 

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of
the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates under or in connection with the
Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered
thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the Administrative
Agent or any of its Affiliates under any resulting liability to the Borrower or
any Bank.

 

2.10                           Increase
of Revolving Credit Commitments.

 

If at any time after the Closing Date, and so long as
no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Borrower desires to increase the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent, who will promptly notify each Bank
thereof, provided that any such increase shall be in a minimum amount of Twenty
Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00) and the aggregate of all such
increases shall not exceed Seventy-Five Million and 00/100 Dollars
($75,000,000.00), without the prior consent of all of the Banks. The existing
Banks shall have the right at any time within thirty (30) days following such
notice to increase their respective Revolving Credit Commitments so as to
provide such additional Revolving Credit Commitment pro-rata in accordance with
the Ratable Share of each, and any portion of such requested increase which is
not provided by any such existing Bank shall be available to the other existing
Banks; provided, that if more than one existing Bank desires to increase its
Revolving Credit Commitment in respect of the portion not provided by an
existing Bank, such participating Banks shall provide such portion of the
additional Revolving Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis in accordance with
the proportion that their respective Ratable Share bears to each other, and
thereafter, to the extent not provided by existing Banks, to any additional
lending institution or institutions proposed by the Borrower and which is
approved by the Administrative Agent and which becomes a party to this
Agreement pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and

 

39

 

prepared at the Borrower’s expense, which
documentation may be executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (as
agent for the Banks) without further consent or action of the Banks, such consent
hereby deemed to be irrevocably given to the Administrative Agent by the Banks;
provided, however, that the Borrower shall have the right to have
all of such increase provided by such approved additional lending institution
or institutions if all the existing Banks decline to increase their Revolving
Credit Commitments to accommodate any such requested increase. In the event of
any such increase in the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and in the
Revolving Credit Commitment of any Bank effected pursuant to the terms of this
Section 2.10, new Notes shall, to the extent deemed reasonably necessary or
appropriate by the Administrative Agent, be executed and delivered by the
Borrower and, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, the
surrender and cancellation of existing Note(s); and the Borrower shall execute
and deliver such additional documentation setting forth the new Revolving
Credit Commitments and Ratable Shares as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably request (which documentation may be executed by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (as agent for the Banks) without further consent or action
of the Banks, such consent herein is deemed to be irrevocably given to the
Administrative Agent by the Banks).

 

2.11                           Currency
Repayments.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the entire amount of principal of and interest on any Loan made in an
Optional Currency shall be repaid in the same Optional Currency in which such
Loan was made, provided, however, that if it is impossible or illegal for
Borrower to effect payment of a Loan in the Optional Currency in which such
Loan was made, or if Borrower defaults in its obligations to do so, the
Required Banks may at their option permit such payment to be made (i) at and to
a different location, subsidiary, affiliate or correspondent of Administrative
Agent, or (ii) in the Equivalent Amount of Dollars or (iii) in an Equivalent
Amount of such other currency (freely convertible into Dollars) as the Required
Banks may solely at their option designate. Upon any events described in (i)
through (iii) of the preceding sentence, Borrower shall make such payment and
Borrower agrees to hold each Bank harmless from and against any loss incurred
by any Bank arising from the cost to such Bank of any premium, any costs of
exchange, the cost of hedging and covering the Optional Currency in which such
Loan was originally made, and from any change in the value of Dollars, or such
other currency, in relation to the Optional Currency that was due and owing. Such
loss shall be calculated for the period commencing with the first day of the
Interest Period for such Loan and continuing through the date of payment
thereof. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower
hereunder, Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive
termination of this Agreement.

 

2.12                           Optional
Currency Amounts.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, Administrative Agent may, with respect to notices by Borrower for
Loans in an Optional Currency or voluntary prepayments of less than the full
amount of an Optional Currency Borrowing Tranche, engage in reasonable rounding
of the Optional Currency amounts requested to be loaned or repaid; and, in such
event, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Banks of
such rounded

 

40

 

amounts and Borrower’s request or notice shall thereby
be deemed to reflect such rounded amounts.

 

3.                                       INTEREST
RATES

 

3.1                                 Interest
Rate Options.

 

The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the
outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the
Base Rate Option or Euro-Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Loans,
it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the
Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest
Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing
Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with
respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche, provided
that there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than eight (8)
Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans (including a
Borrowing Tranche to which the Base Rate Option applies) and provided further
that only the Base Rate or such other interest rates as PNC Bank and the
Borrower may agree to from time to time shall apply to the Swing Loans. If at
any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Bank exceeds
such Bank’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Bank’s Loan shall
be limited to such Bank’s highest lawful rate. Notwithstanding any provisions
to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the
Borrower shall not be required to pay, and the Banks shall not be permitted to
collect, any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest
permitted by applicable Law (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is
provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been
provided for in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, then, in such
event:  (1) the provisions of this
subsection shall govern and control; (2) the Borrower shall not be obligated to
pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that the Banks may have
received hereunder shall be, at the option of the Required Banks, (a) applied
as a credit against the outstanding principal balance of the Obligations or
accrued and unpaid interest (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by
Law), (b) refunded to the payor thereof, or (c) any combination of the
foregoing; (4) the interest rates provided for herein shall be automatically
reduced to the maximum lawful rate allowed from time to time under applicable
Law, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have
been and shall be reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) the
Borrower shall have no action against the Administrative Agent or any Bank for
any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest
(other than to enforce this Section 3.1 [Interest Rate Options]). Interest on
the principal amount of each Loan made in an Optional Currency shall be paid by
the Borrower in such Optional Currency.

 

3.1.1.                     Revolving
Credit Interest Rate Options.

 

The Borrower shall have the right to select from the
following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans
(subject to the provisions above regarding Swing Loans), except that no Loan to
which a Base Rate shall apply may be made in an Optional Currency:

 

41

 

(i)                                     Revolving
Credit Base Rate Option:  A
fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366  days, as the case may
be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate, such interest rate to
change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of
each change in the Base Rate; or

 

(ii)                                  Revolving
Credit Euro-Rate Option:  A rate per
annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed, provided
that, for Loans made in an Optional Currency for which a three hundred
sixty five (365) day basis is the only market practice available to the
Administrative Agent, such rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of
three hundred sixty five (365) days) equal to the Euro-Rate plus the Applicable
Margin.

 

3.1.2.                     Swing Loan
Interest Rate.

 

Each Swing Loan shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to (i) the Base Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366
days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed), such interest rate to
change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of
each change in the Base Rate or (ii) such other interest rates (computed on the
basis of a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, as PNC may determine) as PNC Bank and
the Borrower may agree to from time to time.

 

3.1.3.                     Rate
Quotations.

 

The Borrower may call the Administrative Agent on or
before the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an
indication of the interest rates and the applicable currency exchange rates
then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be
binding on the Administrative Agent or the Banks nor affect the rate of
interest or the calculation of Equivalent Amounts which thereafter are actually
in effect when the election is made.

 

3.2                                 Interest
Periods.

 

At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to
or renew a Euro-Rate Option, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent
thereof at least four (4) Business Days prior to the effective date of such
Interest Rate Option, with respect to an Optional Currency Loan, and three (3)
Business Days prior to the effective date of such Interest Rate Option with
respect to a Dollar Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such
Interest Rate Option shall apply. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the
following provisions shall apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion
to a Euro-Rate Option:

 

3.2.1.                     Amount of
Borrowing Tranche

 

The Dollar Equivalent amount of each Borrowing Tranche
of Euro-Rate Loans shall be in integral multiples of Five Hundred Thousand and
00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) and not less than One Million and 00/100
Dollars ($1,000,000.00);

 

42

 

3.2.2.                     Renewals

 

In the case of the renewal of a Euro-Rate Option at
the end of an Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall
be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in
payment of interest for such day.

 

3.3                                 Interest
After Default.

 

To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been
cured or waived:

 

3.3.1.                     Interest
Rate.

 

The rate of interest for each Loan otherwise applicable
pursuant to Section 3.1 [Interest Rate Options], shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable under the
Base Rate Option plus an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum, each
Borrowing Tranche to which the Euro-Rate Option applies shall automatically
convert to the Base Rate Option at the end of the applicable Interest Period
and no Loans may be made as, renewed or converted into a Borrowing Tranche to
which the Euro-Rate Option applies;

 

3.3.2.                     Letter of Credit
Fees.

 

The Letter of Credit Fees otherwise applicable
pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] shall be increased by two
percent (2.0%) per annum;

 

3.3.3.                     Other
Obligations.

 

Each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due
shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of
interest applicable under the Base Rate Option plus an additional two percent
(2.0%) per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and
until it is paid in full; and

 

3.3.4.                     Acknowledgment.

 

The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates
referred to in this Section 3.3 [Interest After Default] reflects, among
other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a
substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Banks are
entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall
be payable by Borrower upon demand by Administrative Agent.

 

3.4                                 Euro-Rate
Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.

 

3.4.1.                     Unascertainable.

 

If on any date on which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be
determined, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that:

 

43

 

(i)                                     adequate
and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such Euro-Rate, or

 

(ii)                                  a
contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London
interbank Eurodollar market relating to the Euro-Rate, the Administrative Agent
shall have the rights specified in Section 3.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s
and Bank’s Rights].

 

3.4.2.                     Illegality;
Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.

 

If at any time any Bank shall have determined that:

 

(i)                                     the
making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies
has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Bank in good
faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official
Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not
having the force of Law), or

 

(ii)                                  such
Euro-Rate Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Bank
of the establishment or maintenance of any such Loan, or

 

(iii)                               after
making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars or
the Optional Currency (as applicable) for the relevant Interest Period for a
Loan, or to banks generally, to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, respectively,
are not available to such Bank with respect to such Loan, or to banks
generally, in the interbank Eurodollar market, then the Administrative Agent
shall have the rights specified in Section 3.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s
and Bank’s Rights].

 

3.4.3.                     Administrative
Agent’s and Bank’s Rights.

 

In the case of any event specified in
Section 3.4.1 [Unascertainable] above, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly so notify the Banks and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an
event specified in Section 3.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Etc.]
above, such Bank shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse
a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice,
and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and
certificate to the other Banks and the Borrower. Upon such date as shall be
specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice
is given), the obligation of (A) the Banks, in the case of such notice
given by the Administrative Agent, or (B) such Bank, in the case of such
notice given by such Bank, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew
a Euro-Rate Option or select an Optional Currency (as applicable) shall be
suspended until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the
Borrower, or such Bank shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of
the Administrative Agent’s or such Bank’s, as the case may be, determination
that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer
exist. If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under
Section 3.4.1 [Unascertainable] and the Borrower has previously notified
the Administrative Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a
Euro-Rate Option and

 

44

 

such Interest Rate Option
has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for
the selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise
available with respect to such Loans. If any Bank notifies the Administrative
Agent of a determination under Section 3.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs;
Etc.], the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower’s indemnification
Obligations under Section 4.6.2 [Indemnity], as to any Loan of the Bank to
which a Euro-Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either
(i) as applicable, convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise
available with respect to such Loan or select a different Optional Currency or
Dollars, or (ii) prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 4.4
[Voluntary Prepayments]. Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or
prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option
otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such specified date.

 

3.5                                 Selection
of Interest Rate Options; Selection of Optional Currency.

 

If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period
or Optional Currency to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the
Euro-Rate Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to
such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2
[Interest Periods], the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a one Month
Interest Period to apply to such Borrowing Tranche with no change in the
currency in which such Loan was originally made, commencing upon the last day
of the existing Interest Period.

 

4.                                       PAYMENTS

 

4.1                                 Payments.

 

All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of
principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Administrative
Agent’s Fee, or other fees or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be
payable prior to 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, on the date when
due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which
are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim
or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately
accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the
Principal Office for the account of PNC Bank with respect to the Swing Loans
and for the ratable accounts of the Banks with respect to the Revolving Credit
Loans in U.S. Dollars except that payments of principal or interest shall be
made in the currency in which such Loan was made, and in immediately available
funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to
the Banks, as applicable, in immediately available funds, provided that
in the event payments are received by 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
time, by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans
and such payments are not distributed to the Banks on the same day received by
the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay the Banks the
Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of Loans or other amounts due in
Dollars, or the Overnight Rate in the case of Loans or other amounts due in an
Optional Currency, with respect to the amount of such payments for each day
held by the Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Banks. The
Administrative Agent’s and each Bank’s statement of account, ledger or other
relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the
statement of the amount of principal

 

45

 

of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing
under this Agreement (including the Equivalent Amounts of the applicable
currencies where such computations are required) and shall be deemed an “account
stated.”

 

4.2                                 Pro
Rata Treatment of Banks.

 

Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans shall be
allocated to each Bank according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of,
conversion to or renewal of any Interest Rate Option and each payment or
prepayment by the Borrower with respect to principal or interest on the
Revolving Credit Loans, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, or other fees
(except for the Administrative Agent’s Fee) or amounts due from the Borrower
hereunder to the Banks with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans, shall
(except as provided in Section 3.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Bank’s
Rights] in the case of an event specified in Section 3.4 [Euro-Rate
Unascertainable; Etc.], Section 4.4.2 [Replacement of a Bank] or Section 4.6
[Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) be made in proportion to
the applicable Revolving Credit Loans outstanding from each Bank and, if no
such Loans are then outstanding, in proportion to the Ratable Share of each
Bank. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or
pre-payment by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees or other amounts from
the Borrower with respect to Swing Loans shall be made by or to PNC Bank
according to Section 2 [Revolving Credit and Swing Loan Facilities].

 

4.3                                 Interest
Payment Dates.

 

Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option
applies shall be due and payable in arrears on the first day of each April,
July, October and January after the date hereof and on the Expiration Date or
upon acceleration of the Notes. Interest on Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option
applies and shall be due and payable in the currency in which such Loan was
made on the last day of each Interest Period for such Loans and, if such
Interest Period is longer than ninety (90) days, also on the ninetieth (90th)
day of such Interest Period. Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal
under Section 4.5 [Mandatory Prepayments] shall be made in the currency in
which such Loan was made and shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment
is due. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary
obligation shall be due and payable in the currency in which such Loan was made
on demand after such principal amount or other monetary obligation becomes due
and payable (whether on the stated maturity date, upon acceleration or
otherwise).

 

4.4                                 Voluntary
Prepayments.

 

4.4.1.                     Right to
Prepay.

 

The Borrower shall have the right at its option from
time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty
(except as provided in Section 4.4.2 [Replacement of a Bank] below or in
Section 4.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) in the
currency in which such Loan was made:

 

46

 

(i)                                     at
any time with respect to any Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies,

 

(ii)                                  on
the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect to Loans to which a
Euro-Rate Option applies, and

 

(iii)                               on
the date specified in a notice by any Bank pursuant to Section 3.4
[Euro-Rate Unascertainable, Etc.] with respect to any Loan to which a Euro-Rate
Option applies.

 

Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of
the Loans, it shall provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by
11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, (a) at least one (1) Business Day
prior to the date of prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in U.S.
Dollars, (b) at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of
Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional Currency, and (c) no later
than 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, on the date of prepayment of
Swing Loans, setting forth the following information:

 

(x)                                   the
date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be
made;

 

(y)                                 a
statement indicating the application of the prepayment between the Swing Loans
and the Revolving Credit Loans; and

 

(z)                                   the
total principal amount and currency of such prepayment, the Dollar Equivalent
amount of which (i) with respect to Revolving Credit Loans shall be in integral
multiples of Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) and not
less than One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for each Borrowing
Tranche to which the Euro-Rate Option applies and in integral multiples of One
Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) and not less than the lesser
of Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) or the outstanding
principal amount or Revolving Credit Loans to which the Base Rate Option
applies and (ii) with respect to Swing Loans, in integral multiples of One
Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) and not less than the lesser
of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) or the outstanding
principal amount of the Swing Loans.

 

All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The
principal amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together
with interest on such principal amount except with respect to Loans to which the
Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified in
such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be
made in the currency in which such Loan was made. Except as provided in
Section 3.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Bank’s Rights], if the Borrower
prepays a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the
Borrower is prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied first to Loans to which
the Base Rate Option applies, then to Loans to which the Euro-

 

47

 

Rate Option applies, and
then to Optional Currency Loans. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to
the Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify the Banks under Section 4.6.2
[Indemnity].

 

4.4.2.                     Replacement
of a Bank.

 

In the event any Bank (i) gives notice under
Section 3.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable, Etc.] or Section 4.6.1
[Increased Costs, Etc.], (ii) does not fund Revolving Credit Loans because
the making of such Loans would contravene any Law applicable to such Bank,
(iii) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body (other than
normal and customary supervision), or (iv) has failed to consent to a proposed
modification, amendment or waiver which pursuant to the terms of Section 10.1
or any other provision of any Loan Document requires the consent of all of the
Banks and with respect to which the Super-Majority Required Banks shall have
granted their consent, (a) within ninety (90) days after (x) receipt of
such Bank’s notice under Section 3.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable, Etc.] or
4.6.1 [Increased Costs, Etc.], (y) the date such Bank has failed to fund
Revolving Credit Loans because the making of such Loans would contravene Law
applicable to such Bank, or (z) the date such Bank became subject to the
control of an Official Body, as applicable, or (b) within ninety (90) days
after such Bank has failed to consent to a proposed modification, amendment or
waiver, to prepay the Loans of such Bank in whole (together with all interest
accrued thereon and any amounts required under Section 4.6
[Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances] and any accrued interest due
on such amount and any related fees) and terminate such Bank’s Commitment or to
have such Bank’s Commitment replaced by one or more of the remaining Banks or a
replacement bank acceptable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
10.11 hereof; provided, that the remaining Banks shall have no
obligation hereunder to increase their Commitments; provided, further to
the extent the Borrower elects to replace a Bank which gave the Borrower notice
under Section 3.4 or 4.6.1 or which failed to fund a Revolving Credit Loan
because the making of such Loans would contravene any Law applicable to such
Bank, it shall be obligated to remove or replace, as the case may be, all Banks
that have made similar requests for compensation pursuant to Section 3.4 or
Section 4.6.1 or who have failed to fund such Loans. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent may only be replaced subject to the
requirements of Section 9.14 [Successor Administrative Agent] and provided
that all Letters of Credit have expired or been terminated or replaced.

 

4.4.3.                     Change of
Lending Office.

 

Each Bank agrees that upon the occurrence of any event
giving rise to increased costs or other special payments under
Section 3.4.2 [Illegality, Etc.] or 4.6.1 [Increased Costs, Etc.] with
respect to such Bank, it will if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable
efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Bank) to designate
another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such
event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such
Bank and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory
disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving
rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 4.3
[Interest Payment Dates] shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or RSC or the rights of the Administrative Agent
or any Bank provided in this Agreement.

 

48

 

4.5                                 Mandatory
Prepayments.

 

4.5.1.                     Currency
Fluctuations

 

If on any Computation Date (i) the Dollar Equivalent
Revolving Facility Usage is equal to or greater than one hundred percent (100%)
of the Commitments as a result of a change in exchange rates between one (1) or
more Optional Currencies and Dollars, then the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower of the same. The Borrower shall pay or prepay Loans
(subject to Borrower’s indemnity obligations under Sections 3.4 [Euro-Rate
Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs, etc.] and 4.6 [Additional
Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) within one (1) Business Day after
receiving such notice such that the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage
shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments after giving effect to such payments
or prepayments.

 

4.5.2.                     Application
among Interest Rate Options.

 

All prepayments required pursuant to this Section 4.5
[Mandatory Prepayments] shall first be applied among the Interest Rate Options
to the principal amount of the Loans subject to the Base Rate Option, then to
Dollar Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option and then to Optional Currency Loans
subject to the Euro-Rate Option. In accordance with Section 4.6.2 [Indemnity],
the Borrower shall indemnify the Banks for any loss or expense, including loss
of margin, incurred with respect to any such prepayments applied against Loans
subject to a Euro-Rate Option on any day other than the last day of the
applicable Interest Period.

 

4.6                                 Additional
Compensation in Certain Circumstances.

 

4.6.1.                     Increased
Costs or Reduced Return Resulting from Taxes, Reserves, Capital Adequacy
Requirements, Expenses, Etc.

 

If any Law, guideline or interpretation or any change
in any Law, guideline or interpretation or application thereof by any Official
Body charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance
with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) of any
central bank or other Official Body:

 

(i)                                     subjects
any Bank to any tax or changes the basis of taxation with respect to this
Agreement, the Notes, the Loans, the Letters of Credit or payments by the
Borrower of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, or other amounts due from the
Borrower hereunder or under the Notes (except for taxes on or measured by the
overall net income of such Bank),

 

(ii)                                  imposes,
modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against credits or commitments to extend credit extended by, or
assets (funded or contingent) of, deposits with or for the account of, or other
acquisitions of funds by, any Bank or any lending office of any Bank, or

 

(iii)                               imposes,
modifies or deems applicable any capital adequacy or similar requirement
(A) against assets (funded or contingent) of, or letters of credit,

 

49

 

other credits or commitments to extend credit extended by, any Bank, or
(B) otherwise applicable to the obligations of any Bank or any lending
office of any Bank under this Agreement, and the result of any of the foregoing
is to increase the cost to, reduce the income receivable by, or impose any
expense (including loss of margin) upon any Bank or its lending office with
respect to this Agreement, the Notes or the making, maintenance or funding of
any part of the Loans (or, in the case of any capital adequacy or similar
requirement, to have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Bank’s
capital, taking into consideration such Bank’s customary policies with respect
to capital adequacy) by an amount which such Bank in its sole discretion deems
to be material, such Bank shall from time to time notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of the amount determined in good faith (using any
averaging and attribution methods employed in good faith) by such Bank to be
necessary to compensate such Bank for such increase in cost, reduction of
income, additional expense or reduced rate of return. Such notice shall set
forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall
be due and payable by the Borrower to such Bank ten (10) Business Days after
such notice is given.

 

4.6.2.                     Indemnity.

 

In addition to the compensation required by
Section 4.6.1 [Increased Costs, Etc.], each Loan Party shall indemnify
each Bank against all liabilities, losses or expenses (including loss of
margin, any loss or expense incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from
third parties, any loss or expense incurred in connection with funds acquired
by a Bank to fund or maintain Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option and any
customary administrative expenses of such Bank) which such Bank sustains or
incurs as a consequence of any:

 

(i)                                     payment,
prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option
applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period
(whether or not such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic
and whether or not such payment or prepayment is then due),

 

(ii)                                  attempt
by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or
otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Requests under Section 2.4 [Revolving
Credit Loan Requests] or Section 3.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating
to prepayments under Section 4.4 [Voluntary Prepayments], or

 

(iii)                               default
by a Loan Party or RSC in the performance or observance of any covenant or
condition contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any
failure of the Borrower to pay when due (by acceleration or otherwise) any
principal, interest, Commitment Fee or any other amount due hereunder.

 

If any Bank sustains or incurs any such loss or
expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined
in good faith by such Bank (which determination may include such assumptions,
allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such
Bank shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Bank for such
loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for
such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Loan Parties to
such Bank ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

 

50

 

4.7                                 Interbank
Market Presumption.

 

For all purposes of this Agreement and each Note with
respect to any aspects of the Euro-Rate, any Loan under the Euro-Rate Option or
any Optional Currency, each Bank and the Administrative Agent shall be presumed
to have obtained rates, funding, currencies, deposits, and the like in the
applicable interbank market regardless whether it did so or not; and, each Bank’s
and the Administrative Agent’s determination of amounts payable under, and
actions required or authorized by, Sections 3.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable;
Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available] and 4.6 [Indemnity] shall
be calculated, at each Bank’s and the Administrative Agent’s option, as though
each Bank and the Administrative Agent funded each Borrowing Tranche of Loans
under the Euro-Rate Option through the purchase of deposits of the types and
maturities corresponding to the deposits used as a reference in accordance with
the terms hereof in determining the Euro-Rate applicable to such Loans, whether
in fact that is the case.

 

4.8                                 Taxes.

 

4.8.1.                     No
Deductions.

 

All payments made by Borrower hereunder and under each
Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on the net income of
any Bank and all income and franchise taxes applicable to any Bank of the
United States (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If
Borrower shall be required by Law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any
sum payable hereunder or under any Note, (i) the sum payable shall be
increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 4.8.1) each Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such
deductions and (iii) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to
the relevant tax authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
Law.

 

4.8.2.                     Stamp
Taxes.

 

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

 

4.8.3.                     Indemnification
for Taxes Paid by a Bank.

 

Borrower shall indemnify each Bank for the full amount
of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other
Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.8.3)
paid by any Bank and any liability (including penalties, interest, and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes
or Other

 

51

 

Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This
indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date a Bank
makes written demand therefor.

 

4.8.4.                     Certificate.

 

Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment
of any Taxes by Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to each Bank, at its address
referred to herein, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing
payment thereof. If no Taxes are payable in respect of any payment by Borrower,
such Borrower shall, if so requested by a Bank, provide a certificate of an
officer of Borrower to that effect.

 

4.8.5.                     Survival.

 

Without prejudice to the survival of any other
agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower
contained in Sections 4.8.1 through 4.8.4 shall survive the payment in full of
principal and interest hereunder and under any instrument delivered hereunder.

 

4.9                                 Judgment
Currency.

 

4.9.1.                     Currency
Conversion Procedures for Judgments.

 

If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court
it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under a Note in any currency
(the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the
parties hereby agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that the rate of
exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking
procedures each Bank could purchase the Original Currency with the Other
Currency after any premium and costs of exchange on the Business Day preceding
that on which final judgment is given.

 

4.9.2.                     Indemnity
in Certain Events.

 

The obligation of Borrower in respect of any sum due
from Borrower to any Bank hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in an
Other Currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, be discharged only
to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by any Bank of any
sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, such Bank may in accordance
with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other
Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the
sum originally due to such Bank in the Original Currency, Borrower agrees, as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment or payment, to
indemnify such Bank against such loss.

 

4.10                           Settlement
Date Procedures.

 

In order to minimize the transfer of funds between the
Banks and the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow
Swing Loans and PNC Bank may make Swing Loans as provided in Section 2.1.2
[Swing Loans] hereof during the period between Settlement Dates. Not later than
10:00 a.m., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time, on

 

52

 

each Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall
notify each Bank of its Ratable Share of the total of the Revolving Credit
Loans (each a “Required Share”). Prior to 2:00 p.m., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
time, on such Settlement Date, each Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent
the amount equal to the difference between its Required Share and its Revolving
Credit Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Bank its Ratable
Share of all payments made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent with
respect to the Revolving Credit Loans. The Administrative Agent shall also
effect settlement in accordance with the foregoing sentence on the proposed
Borrowing Dates for Revolving Credit Loans and may at its option effect
settlement on any other Business Day. These settlement procedures are
established solely as a matter of administrative convenience, and nothing
contained in this Section 4.10 [Settlement Date Procedures] shall relieve the
Banks of their obligations to fund Revolving Credit Loans on dates other than a
Settlement Date pursuant to Section 2.1.1 [Revolving Credit Loans]. The
Administrative Agent may at any time at its option for any reason whatsoever
require each Bank to pay immediately to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s
Ratable Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and each Bank may at
any time require the Administrative Agent to pay immediately to such Bank its
Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent
with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans.

5.1.6.                     No
Conflict.

 

Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents by any Loan Party or RSC nor the consummation of
the transactions herein or therein contemplated or compliance with the terms

property leased by such Loan Party, subject to the terms and conditions of the
applicable leases. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,

Statements. The Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent copies
of its audited consolidated year-end financial statements for and as of the end
of the two (2) fiscal years ended December 28, 2003 and December 26, 2004 (the “Annual

the Borrower’s management (the “Financial Projections”). The Financial
Projections represent a reasonable range of possible results in light of the

thereto, and except as disclosed therein there are no unrealized or anticipated
losses from any

5.1.11.               Full Disclosure.

 

Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document,
nor any certificate, statement, agreement or other documents furnished to the
Administrative Agent or any Bank in connection herewith or therewith, contains
any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact

Loan Documents which constitutes an Event of Default or Potential Default. None
of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party is in violation of
(i) any term of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of
limited partnership, partnership agreement, certificate of formation, limited

material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any
of its properties may be subject or bound where such violation would constitute
a Material Adverse Change.

Loan Party and each Subsidiary of any Loan Party in accordance with customary
business practice in the industry of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries.

 

5.1.17.               Compliance with
Laws.

 

The Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries are in
compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws (other than

Section 5.1.22 [Environmental Matters and Safety Matters]) in all
jurisdictions in which any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party is
presently or will be doing business except where the failure to do so would not
reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Change.

 

5.1.18.               Material
Contracts; Burdensome Restrictions.

 

All material contracts relating to the business
operations of each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of each Loan Party, including

in, and as of the date of, the most recent actuarial report for such Plan, does
not exceed the aggregate fair market value of the assets of such Plan.

 

(vi)                              Neither

are no Regulated Substances present on, in, under, or emanating from, or to any

9.                                       THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

9.1                                 Appointment.

 

Each Bank hereby
irrevocably designates, appoints and authorizes PNC Bank to act as
Administrative Agent for such Bank under this Agreement and to execute and
deliver or accept on behalf of each of the Banks the other Loan Documents.  Each Bank hereby irrevocably authorizes, and
each holder of any Note by the acceptance of a Note shall be deemed irrevocably
to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under
the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other
instruments and agreements referred to herein, and to exercise such powers and
to perform such duties hereunder as are specifically delegated to or required
of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto.  PNC
Bank agrees to act as the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Banks to the
extent provided in this Agreement.

 

9.2                                 Delegation of Duties.

 

The Administrative Agent
may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through agents or employees (provided
such delegation does not constitute a relinquishment of its duties as
Administrative Agent) subject to Sections 9.5 [Reimbursement of
Administrative Agent by Loan Parties, Etc.] and 9.6 [Exculpatory Provisions,
Etc.], shall be entitled to engage and pay for the advice or services of any
attorneys, accountants or other experts concerning all matters pertaining to
its duties hereunder and to rely upon any advice so obtained.

 

87

 

9.3                                 Nature of Duties; Independent Credit
Investigation.

 

The Administrative Agent
shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in
this Agreement and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations, or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise
exist.  The duties of the Administrative
Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative
Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary or trust
relationship in respect of any Bank; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed
or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the
Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as
expressly set forth herein.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this
Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote
any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency
doctrine of any applicable Law.  Instead,
such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent
contracting parties.  Each Bank expressly
acknowledges (i) that the Administrative Agent has not made any
representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent
hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any of the Loan Parties
or RSC, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the
Administrative Agent to any Bank; (ii) that it has made and will continue
to make, without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, its own independent
investigation of the financial condition and affairs and its own appraisal of
the creditworthiness of each of the Loan Parties and RSC in connection with
this Agreement and the making and continuance of the Loans hereunder; and (iii) except
as expressly provided herein, that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty
or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any
Bank with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming
into its possession before the making of any Loan or at any time or times
thereafter.

 

9.4                                 Actions in Discretion of Administrative
Agent; Instructions From the Banks.

 

The Administrative Agent
agrees, upon the written request of the Required Banks, to take or refrain from
taking any action of the type specified as being within the Administrative
Agent’s rights, powers or discretion herein, provided that the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the
Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable Law.  In the absence of a request by the Required
Banks, the Administrative Agent shall have authority, in its sole discretion,
to take or not to take any such action, unless this Agreement specifically
requires the consent of the Required Banks or all of the Banks.  Any action taken or failure to act pursuant
to such instructions or discretion shall be binding on the Banks, subject to Section 9.6
[Exculpatory Provisions, Etc.].  Subject
to the provisions of Section 9.6 [Exculpatory Provisions, Etc.], no Bank
shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a
result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder
in accordance with the instructions of the Required Banks, or in the absence of
such instructions, in the absolute discretion of the Administrative Agent.

 

88

 

9.5                                 Reimbursement and
Indemnification of Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties and RSC.

 

Each Loan Party and RSC jointly, severally and
unconditionally agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and hold
the Administrative Agent harmless against (a) liability for the payment of
all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements, including fees
and expenses of counsel (including the allocated costs of staff counsel),
appraisers and environmental consultants, incurred by the Administrative Agent
(i) in connection with the development, negotiation, preparation,
printing, execution, administration, syndication, interpretation and
performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) relating
to any requested amendments, waivers or consents pursuant to the provisions
hereof, (iii) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or collection of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or the
proof and allowability of any claim arising under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, whether in bankruptcy or receivership proceedings or otherwise,
(iv) in any workout or restructuring or in connection with the protection,
preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any rights
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection with any
foreclosure, collection or bankruptcy proceedings, and (v) in connection with
any Environmental Complaint threatened or asserted against the Administrative
Agent or the Banks in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any other Loan Documents (including the protection, preservation, exercise or
enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any rights hereunder or under any
other Loan Document or in connection with any foreclosure, collection or
bankruptcy proceedings or in any workout or restructuring), and (b) all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which
may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, in
its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of (i) this
Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder, and (ii) any Environmental
Complaint in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent
hereunder or thereunder, provided that no Loan Party or RSC shall be liable
for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements if the same results
from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or if
the Borrower was not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to
participate in the defense thereof, at its expense (except that each Loan Party
and RSC shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not
result in a loss to such Loan Party or RSC), or if the same results from a
compromise or settlement agreement entered into without the consent of the
Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, the Loan
Parties and RSC, jointly and severally, agree to reimburse and pay all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent’s regular
employees and agents engaged periodically to perform audits of the Loan Parties’
and RSC’s books, records and business properties.

 

9.6                                 Exculpatory
Provisions; Limitation of Liability.

 

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates shall
(a) be liable to any Bank for any action taken or omitted to be taken by
it or them hereunder, or in connection herewith including pursuant to any Loan

 

89

 

Document, unless caused by its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct, (b) be responsible in any manner to any
of the Banks for the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity or
the due execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or for any
recital, representation, warranty, document, certificate, report or statement
herein or made or furnished under or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Loan Documents, or (c) be under any obligation to any of the Banks to
ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the
terms, covenants or conditions hereof or thereof on the part of the Loan
Parties or RSC, or the financial condition of the Loan Parties or RSC, or the
existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential Default.
No claim may be made by any of the Loan Parties, RSC, any Bank, the
Administrative Agent or any of their respective Subsidiaries against the
Administrative Agent, any Bank or any of their respective directors, officers,
employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates, or any of them, for any special,
indirect or consequential damages or, to the fullest extent permitted by Law,
for any punitive damages in respect of any claim or cause of action (whether
based on contract, tort, statutory liability, or any other ground) based on,
arising out of or related to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated
hereby or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith,
including the negotiation, documentation, administration or collection of the
Loans, and each of the Loan Parties, (for itself and on behalf of each of its
Subsidiaries), the Administrative Agent and each Bank hereby waive, release and
agree never to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether such claim now
exists or hereafter arises and whether or not it is now known or suspected to
exist in its favor. Each Bank agrees that, except for notices, reports and
other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the
Administrative Agent hereunder or given to the Administrative Agent for the
account of or with copies for the Banks, the Administrative Agent and each of
its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates shall not
have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial
or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Loan Parties or RSC which
may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates.

 

9.7                                 Reimbursement and
Indemnification of Administrative Agent by Banks.

 

Each Bank agrees to reimburse and indemnify the
Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties or RSC
and without limiting the Obligation of any Loan Party or RSC to do so) in
proportion to its Ratable Share from and against all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (including the
allocated costs of staff counsel), and costs of appraisers and environmental
consultants, of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, in
any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder
or thereunder, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of
such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (a) if the same results from the
Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) if
such Bank was not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to
participate in the defense thereof, at its expense (except that such Bank shall
remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a
loss to the Bank), or (c) if the same results from a compromise and

 

90

 

settlement agreement entered into without the consent
of such Bank, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, each Bank
agrees promptly upon demand to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the
extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties or RSC and without limiting the
Obligation of any Loan Party or RSC to do so) in proportion to its Ratable
Share for all amounts due and payable by the Loan Parties and RSC to the
Administrative Agent in connection with the Administrative Agent’s periodic
audit of the Loan Parties’ and RSC’s books, records and business properties.

 

9.8                                 Reliance by
Administrative Agent.

 

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon any writing, facsimile, telex or teletype message, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, letter, cablegram, statement, order or other document or
conversation by telephone or otherwise believed by it to be genuine and correct
and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon
the advice and opinions of counsel and other professional advisers selected by
the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and
expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take
any such action.

 

9.9                                 Notice of Default.

 

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of
Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Bank
or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Potential Default
or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of Event of
Default” or a “notice of Potential Default”, as the case may be.

 

9.10                           Notices.

 

The Administrative Agent shall promptly send to each
Bank a copy of all notices received from the Borrower pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents promptly upon receipt
thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
other Banks of each change in the Base Rate and the effective date thereof.

 

9.11                           Banks in Their Individual
Capacities; Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.

 

With respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment, the
Revolving Credit Loans made by it and any other rights and powers given to it
as a Bank hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the
Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any
other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative
Agent, and the term “Bank” and “Banks” shall, unless the context otherwise
indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. PNC
Bank and its Affiliates and each of the Banks and their respective Affiliates
may, without liability to account, except as prohibited herein, make loans to,
issue letters of credit for the account of, acquire equity interests in, accept

 

91

 

deposits from, discount drafts for, act as trustee
under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory, underwriting or other business with, the Loan Parties and
their Affiliates, in the case of the Administrative Agent, as though it were
not acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and in the case of each Bank, as
though such Bank were not a Bank hereunder, in each case without notice to or
consent of the other Banks. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such
activities, the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may (i) receive
information regarding the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or
Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality
obligations in favor of the Loan Parties or such Subsidiary or Affiliate) and
acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to
provide such information to them, and (ii) accept fees and other
consideration from the Loan Parties or RSC for services in connection with this
Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Banks.

 

9.12                           Holders of Notes.

 

The Administrative Agent may deem and treat any payee
of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until
written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with
the Administrative Agent. Subject to the foregoing, any request, authority or
consent of any Person who at the time of making such request or giving such
authority or consent is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding
on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or
Notes issued in exchange therefor.

 

9.13                           Equalization of Banks.

 

The Banks and the holders of any participations in any
Notes agree among themselves that, with respect
to all amounts received by any Bank or any such holder for application on any
Obligation hereunder or under any Note or under any such participation, whether
received by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of
the right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or by any other non-pro
rata source, equitable adjustment will be made in the manner stated in the
following sentence so that, in effect, all such excess amounts will be shared
ratably among the Banks and such holders in proportion to their interests in
payments under the Notes, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4.3
[Administrative Agent’s and Bank’s Rights], 4.4.2 [Replacement of a Bank] or
4.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]. The Banks or any such
holder receiving any such amount shall purchase for cash from each of the other
Banks an interest in such Bank’s Loans in such amount as shall result in a
ratable participation by the Banks and each such holder in the aggregate unpaid
amount under the Notes, provided that if all or any portion of such excess
amount is thereafter recovered from the Bank or the holder making such
purchase, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to
the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any,
required by Law (including court order) to be paid by the Bank or the holder
making such purchase.

 

9.14                           Successor Administrative
Agent.

 

The Administrative Agent (i) may resign as
Administrative Agent or (ii) shall resign if such resignation is requested
by the Required Banks (if the Administrative Agent is a

 

92

 

Bank, the Administrative Agent’s Loans and its
Commitment shall be considered in determining whether the Required Banks have
requested such resignation) or required by Section 4.4.2 [Replacement of a
Bank], in either case of (i) or (ii) by giving not less than thirty (30) days’
prior written notice to the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign
under this Agreement, then either (a) the Required Banks shall appoint from
among the Banks a successor agent for the Banks, subject to the consent of the
Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, or (b) if a
successor agent shall not be so appointed and approved within the thirty (30)
day period following the Administrative Agent’s notice to the Banks of its
resignation, then the Administrative Agent shall appoint, with the consent of
the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, a successor agent
who shall serve as Administrative Agent until such time as the Required Banks
appoint and the Borrower consents to the appointment of a successor agent,
provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if any Event of
Default then exists. Upon its appointment pursuant to either clause (a) or (b)
above, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of
the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such
successor agent, effective upon its appointment,
and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as
Administrative Agent shall be terminated without any other or further act or
deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to
this Agreement. After the resignation of any Administrative Agent hereunder,
the provisions of this Section 9 [The Administrative Agent] shall inure to
the benefit of such former Administrative Agent and such former Administrative
Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from
liability for any actions taken or not taken by it while it was an
Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

 

9.15                           Administrative Agent’s
Fee.

 

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent a
nonrefundable fee (the “Administrative Agent’s Letter”) between the Borrower
and Administrative Agent, as amended from time to time.

 

9.16                           Availability of Funds.

 

The Administrative Agent may assume that each Bank has
made or will make the proceeds of a Loan available to the Administrative Agent
in the applicable currency unless the Administrative Agent shall have been
notified by such Bank on or before the later of (1) the close of Business
on the Business Day preceding the Borrowing Date with respect to such Loan or
two (2) hours before the time on which the Administrative Agent actually funds
the proceeds of such Loan to the Borrower (whether using its own funds pursuant
to this Section 9.16 [Availability of Funds] or using proceeds deposited
with the Administrative Agent by the Banks and whether such funding occurs
before or after the time on which Banks are required to deposit the proceeds of
such Loan with the Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make available to
the Borrower a corresponding amount in the applicable currency. If such
corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent
by such Bank in the applicable currency, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Bank (or, if such Bank fails
to pay such amount forthwith upon such demand from the Borrower) together with
interest thereon, in respect of each day during the period commencing on the
date such amount was made available

 

93

 

to the Borrower and ending on the date the
Administrative Agent recovers such amount, at a rate per annum equal to (i) the
Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days after such
interest shall begin to accrue and (ii) the applicable interest rate in respect
of such Loan after the end of such three-day period.

 

9.17                           Calculations.

 

In the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any error in
computing the amount payable to any Bank whether in respect of the Loans, fees
or any other amounts due to the Banks under this Agreement. In the event an
error in computing any amount payable to any Bank is made, the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower and each affected Bank shall, forthwith upon discovery of
such error, make such adjustments as shall be required to correct such error,
and any compensation therefor will be calculated at the Federal Funds Effective
Rate or the Overnight Rate if such computation relates to a Loan made in an
Optional Currency.

 

9.18                           No Reliance on
Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program.

 

Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that neither such
Bank, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the
Administrative Agent to carry out such Bank’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or
assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or
imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder,
including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or
replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including
any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection
with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan
Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any
identity verification procedures, (2) any record keeping, (3) comparisons with
government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures required under
the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

 

9.19                           Beneficiaries.

 

Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of
this Section 9 [The Administrative Agent] are solely for the benefit of
the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and neither the Loan Parties nor RSC
shall have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof. In
performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Administrative
Agent shall act solely as agent of the Banks and does not assume and shall not
be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or
trust with or for any of the Loan Parties or RSC.

 

9.20                           Syndication Agent,
Co-Documentation Agents, Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner.

 

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that no
Person shall have, solely by reason of its designation as syndication agent,
co-documentation agent, lead arranger or sole

 

94

 

bookrunner, any power, duty, responsibility or
liability whatsoever under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

10.                                 MISCELLANEOUS

 

10.1                           Modifications, Amendments
or Waivers.

 

With the written consent of the Required Banks, the
Administrative Agent, acting on behalf of all the Banks, and the Borrower, on
behalf of the Loan Parties and RSC, may from time to time enter into written
agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or the rights of the Banks, the Loan Parties or RSC hereunder or
thereunder, or may grant written waivers or consents to a departure from the
due performance of the Obligations of the Loan Parties and RSC hereunder or
thereunder. Any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written
consent shall be effective to bind all the Banks, the Loan Parties and RSC; provided,
that, without the written consent of all the Banks, no such agreement, waiver
or consent may be made which will:

 

10.1.1.               Increase
of Commitment; Extension of Expiration Date,

 

Increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment
of any Bank hereunder or extend the Expiration Date;

 

10.1.2.               Extension
of Payment; Reduction of Principal Interest or Fees; Modification of Terms of
Payment.

 

Whether or not any Loans are outstanding, extend the
time for payment of principal or interest of any Loan, the Commitment Fee or
any other fee payable to any Bank, or reduce the principal amount of or the
rate of interest borne by any Loan or reduce the Commitment Fee or any other
fee payable to any Bank, or otherwise affect the terms of payment of the
principal of or interest of any Loan, the Commitment Fee or any other fee
payable to any Bank;

 

10.1.3.               Release of Guarantor.

 

Except in connection with the dissolution of a Loan
Party permitted pursuant to Section 7.2.5 [Liquidations, Mergers,
Consolidations, Acquisitions], release any Guarantor from its Obligations under
the Guaranty Agreements, the Borrower/RSC Guaranty Agreement or any other
security for any of the Loan Parties’ or RSC’s Obligations; or

 

10.1.4.               Miscellaneous.

 

Amend Section 4.2 [Pro Rata Treatment of Banks],
9.6 [Exculpatory Provisions, Etc.] or 9.13 [Equalization of Banks] or this
Section 10.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers], alter any provision
regarding the pro rata treatment of the Banks, change the definition of
Required Banks, or change any requirement providing for the Banks or the Required
Banks to authorize the taking of any action hereunder;

 

95

 

provided, further, that no
agreement, waiver or consent which would modify the interests, rights or
obligations of (i) the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative
Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative
Agent or (ii) the Administrative Agent in its capacity as issuer of Letters of
Credit shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative
Agent.

 

10.2                           No Implied Waivers;
Cumulative Remedies; Writing Required.

 

No course of dealing and no delay or failure of the
Administrative Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power, remedy or
privilege under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any
other or future exercise thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of
steps to enforce such a right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any further
exercise thereof or of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. The rights
and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Banks under this Agreement and
any other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies which they would otherwise have. Any waiver, permit, consent or
approval of any kind or character on the part of any Bank of any breach or
default under this Agreement or any such waiver of any provision or condition
of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent
specifically set forth in such writing.

 

10.3                           Reimbursement and
Indemnification of Banks by the Loan Parties and RSC; Taxes.

 

The Loan Parties and RSC, jointly and severally, agree
unconditionally upon demand to pay or reimburse to each Bank (other than the
Administrative Agent, as to which the Loan Parties’ and RSC’s Obligations are
set forth in Section 9.5 [Reimbursement of Administrative Agent By Loan
Parties, Etc.]) and to save such Bank harmless against (i) liability for
the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements
(including fees and expenses of counsel (including allocated costs of staff
counsel) for each Bank except with respect to (a) and (b) below), incurred by
such Bank (a) in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution,
administration and interpretation of this Agreement, and other instruments and
documents to be delivered hereunder, (b) relating to any amendments,
waivers or consents pursuant to the provisions hereof, (c) in connection
with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or
collection of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or the proof and allowability
of any claim arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether
in bankruptcy or receivership proceedings or otherwise, (d) in any workout
or restructuring or in connection with the protection, preservation, exercise
or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any rights hereunder or under
any other Loan Document or in connection with any foreclosure, collection or
bankruptcy proceedings, and (e) in connection with any Environmental Complaint
threatened or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Banks in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents
(including the protection, preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of the
terms hereof or of any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in
connection with any foreclosure, collection or bankruptcy proceedings or in any
workout or restructuring), or (ii) all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or

 

96

 

asserted against such Bank, in its capacity as such,
in any way relating to or arising out of (y) this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Bank hereunder or thereunder
and (z) any Environmental Complaint in any way relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by
such Bank hereunder or thereunder, provided that no Loan Party or RSC
shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
(A) if the same results from such Bank’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct, or (B) if the Borrower was not given notice of the subject
claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its expense
(except that each Loan Party and RSC shall remain liable to the extent such
failure to give notice does not result in a loss to such Loan Party or RSC), or
(C) if the same results from a compromise or settlement agreement entered
into without the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Banks will attempt to minimize the fees and expenses of legal
counsel for the Banks which are subject to reimbursement by the Borrower
hereunder by considering the usage of one law firm to represent the Banks and
the Administrative Agent if appropriate under the circumstances. Each Loan
Party and RSC, jointly and severally, agrees unconditionally to pay all stamp,
document, transfer, recording or filing taxes or fees and similar impositions
now or hereafter determined by the Administrative Agent or any Bank to be
payable in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and each
Loan Party and RSC, jointly and severally, agrees unconditionally to save the
Administrative Agent and the Banks harmless from and against any and all
present or future claims, liabilities or losses with respect to or resulting
from any omission to pay or delay in paying any such taxes, fees or impositions.

 

10.4                           Holidays.

 

Whenever payment of a Loan to be made or taken
hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day such payment shall
be due on the next Business Day (except as provided in Section 3.2
[Interest Periods] with respect to Interest Periods under the Euro-Rate Option)
and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees,
except that the Loans shall be due on the Business Day preceding the Expiration
Date if the Expiration Date is not a Business Day. Whenever any payment or
action to be made or taken hereunder (other than payment of the Loans) shall be
stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment or action
shall be made or taken on the next following Business Day, and such extension of
time shall not be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection
with such payment or action.

 

10.5                           Funding by Branch,
Subsidiary or Affiliate.

 

10.5.1.               Notional Funding.

 

Each Bank shall have the right from time to time,
without notice to the Borrower, to deem any branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate
(which for the purposes of this Section 10.5 [Funding by Branch,
Subsidiary or Affiliate] shall mean any corporation or association which is
directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common
control with any corporation or association which directly or indirectly
controls such Bank) of such Bank to have made, maintained or funded any Loan to
which the Euro-Rate Option applies

 

97

 

at any time, provided
that immediately following (on the assumption that a payment were then due from
the Borrower to such other office), and as a result of such change, the
Borrower would not be under any greater financial obligation pursuant to
Section 4.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances] than it
would have been in the absence of such change. Notional funding offices may be
selected by each Bank without regard to such Bank’s actual methods of making,
maintaining or funding the Loans or any sources of funding actually used by or
available to such Bank.

 

10.5.2.               Actual Funding.

 

Each Bank shall have the right from time to time to
make or maintain any Loan by arranging for a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate of
such Bank to make or maintain such Loan subject to the last sentence of this
Section 10.5.2 [Actual Funding]. If any Bank causes a branch, Subsidiary
or Affiliate to make or maintain any part of the Loans hereunder, all terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall, except where the context clearly requires
otherwise, be applicable to such part of the Loans to the same extent as if
such Loans were made or maintained by such Bank, but in no event shall any Bank’s
use of such a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make or maintain any part of
the Loans hereunder cause such Bank or such branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to
incur any cost or expenses payable by the Borrower hereunder or require the
Borrower to pay any other compensation to any Bank (including any expenses
incurred or payable pursuant to Section 4.6 [Additional Compensation in
Certain Circumstances]) which would otherwise not be incurred.

 

10.6                           Notices; Lending Offices.

 

Any notice, request, demand, direction or other
communication (for purposes of this Section 10.6 [Notices] only, a “Notice” to
be given to or made upon any party hereto under any provision of this Agreement
shall be given or made by telephone or in writing (which includes means of
electronic transmission (i.e., “e-mail”) or facsimile transmission or by
setting forth such Notice on a site on the World Wide Web (a “Website Posting”)
if Notice of such Website Posting (including the information necessary to
access such site) has previously been delivered to the applicable parties
hereto by another means set forth in this Section 10.6 [Notices]) in accordance
with this Section 10.6 [Notices]. Any such Notice must be delivered to the

10.11                     Successors and Assigns.

 

(i)                                     This
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Banks,
the Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties, RSC and their respective successors
and assigns, except that none of the Loan Parties or RSC may assign or transfer
any of its rights and Obligations hereunder or any interest herein. Each Bank
may, at its own cost, make assignments of or sell participations in all or any
part of its Commitments and the Loans made by it to one or more banks or other
entities subject to the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
with respect to any assignee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned, provided that (i) no consent of the Borrower
shall be required (A) if an Event of Default exists and is continuing, or (B)
in the case of an assignment by a Bank to an Affiliate of such Bank, and (2)
any assignment by a Bank to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Bank may
not be made in amounts less than the lesser of Two Million Five Hundred
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00) or the amount of the assigning Bank’s
Commitment. In the case of an assignment, upon receipt by the Administrative
Agent of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee shall have, to
the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same
rights, benefits and obligations as it would have if it had been a signatory
Bank hereunder, the Commitments shall be adjusted accordingly, and upon
surrender of any Note subject to such assignment, the Borrower shall execute
and deliver a new Note to the assignee in an amount equal to the amount of the
Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by it and a new Revolving Credit Note to
the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment
retained by it hereunder. Any Bank which assigns any or all of its Commitment
or Loans to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Bank shall pay to the
Administrative Agent a service fee in the amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred
and 00/100 Dollars ($3,500.00) for each assignment. In the case of a
participation, the participant shall only have the rights specified in Section 8.2.3
[Set-off] (the participant’s rights against such Bank in respect of such
participation to be those set forth in the agreement

 

100

 

executed by such
Bank in favor of the participant relating thereto and not to include any voting
rights except with respect to changes of the type referenced in
Sections 10.1.1 [Increase of Commitment, Etc.], 10.1.2 [Extension of
Payment, Etc.], or 10.1.3 [Release of Guarantor]), all of such Bank’s
obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall remain
unchanged, and all amounts payable by any Loan Party or RSC hereunder or
thereunder shall be determined as if such Bank had not sold such participation.

 

(ii)                                  Any
assignee or participant which is not incorporated under the Laws of the United
States of America or a state thereof shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent the form of certificate described in Section 10.17.1
[Tax Withholding Clause] relating to federal income tax withholding. Each Bank
may furnish any publicly available information concerning any Loan Party or its
Subsidiaries and any other information concerning any Loan Party or its
Subsidiaries in the possession of such Bank from time to time to assignees and
participants (including prospective assignees or participants), provided
that such assignees and participants agree to be bound by the provisions of
Section 10.12 [Confidentiality].

 

(iii)                               Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Agreement, any Bank may at any time pledge or grant a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, its
Note and the other Loan Documents to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance
with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR
Section 203.14 without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent. No such pledge or grant of a security interest shall
release the transferor Bank of its obligations hereunder or under any other
Loan Document.

The Administrative Agent and the Banks each agree to
keep confidential all information obtained from any Loan Party or its
Subsidiaries which is nonpublic and confidential or proprietary in nature
(including any information such Loan Party or Subsidiary specifically
designates as confidential), except as provided below, and to use such
information only in connection with their respective capacities under this
Agreement and for the purposes contemplated hereby. The Administrative Agent
and the Banks shall be permitted to disclose such information (i) to their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, outside legal counsel,
accountants and other professional advisors who need to know such information
in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement,

otherwise required by applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal
process, or in connection with any investigation or proceeding arising out of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) if it becomes

restrictions, or (v) if the Borrower shall have consented to such
disclosure.

Information With Affiliates of the Banks.

 

Each Loan Party and RSC acknowledges that from time to
time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered
or provided to any Loan Party or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection
with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Bank or by one or more Subsidiaries or
Affiliates of such Bank and each of the Loan Parties hereby authorizes each
Bank to share any information delivered to such Bank by such Loan Party and its
Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of
such Bank to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of
such Bank, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of any
Bank receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of Section
10.12.1 [General] as if it were a Bank hereunder. Such authorization shall
survive the repayment of the Loans and other Obligations and the termination of
the Commitments.

 

10.13                     Counterparts.

 

This Agreement may be executed by different parties
hereto on any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed
and delivered, shall be an original, and all such counterparts shall together
constitute one and the same instrument.

Consent.

 

Unless otherwise provided herein, whenever the
Administrative Agent’s or any Bank’s consent is required to be obtained under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as a condition to any action,
inaction, condition or event, the Administrative Agent and each Bank shall be
authorized to give or withhold such consent in its sole and absolute discretion
and to condition its consent upon the giving of collateral, the payment of money
or any other matter.

 

10.15                     Exceptions.

 

The representations, warranties and covenants
contained herein shall be independent of each other, and no exception to any
representation, warranty or covenant shall be deemed to be an exception to any
other representation, warranty or covenant contained herein unless expressly
provided, nor shall any such exceptions be deemed to permit any action or

UPON ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF. EACH LOAN PARTY AND
RSC WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED
AGAINST IT AS PROVIDED HEREIN AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY DEFENSE BASED ON
LACK OF JURISDICTION OR VENUE. EACH LOAN PARTY, RSC, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.17                     Certifications From Banks and
Participants

 

10.17.1.         Tax Withholding Clause.

 

Each Bank or assignee or participant of a Bank that is
not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state
thereof (and, upon the written request of the Agent, each other Bank or
assignee or participant of a Bank) agrees that it will deliver to each of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent two (2) duly completed appropriate valid
Withholding Certificates (as defined under § 1.1441-1(c)(16) of the Income Tax
Regulations (the “Regulations”)) certifying its status (i.e. U.S. or foreign
person) and, if appropriate, making a claim of reduced, or exemption from, U.S.
withholding tax on the basis of an income tax treaty or an exemption provided
by the Internal Revenue Code. The term “Withholding Certificate” means a Form
W-9; a Form W-8BEN; a Form W-8ECI; a Form W-8IMY and the related statements and
certifications as required under § 1.1441-1(e)(2) and/or (3) of the
Regulations; a statement described in § 1.871-14(c)(2)(v) of the Regulations;
or any other certificates under the Internal Revenue Code or Regulations that
certify or establish the status of a payee or beneficial owner as a U.S. or
foreign person. Each Bank, assignee or participant required to deliver to the
Borrower and the Agent a Withholding Certificate pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate as follows:  (A) each Bank which is a party hereto on
the Closing Date shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five
(5) Business Days prior to the first date on which any interest or fees are
payable by the Borrower hereunder for the account of such Bank; (B) each
assignee or participant shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least
five (5) Business Days before the effective date of such assignment or
participation (unless the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall
permit such assignee or participant to deliver such valid Withholding
Certificate less than five (5) Business Days before such date in which case it
shall be due on the date specified by the Administrative Agent). Each Bank,
assignee or participant which so delivers a valid Withholding Certificate
further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent two (2) additional copies of such Withholding Certificate (or a successor
form) on or before the date that such Withholding Certificate expires or
becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
most recent Withholding Certificate so delivered by it, and such amendments
thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the submission of a
Withholding Certificate claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S.
withholding tax, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to withhold United
States federal income taxes at the full thirty percent (30%) withholding rate
if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence
requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the

 

103

 

Regulations. Further, the Administrative Agent is
indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the Regulations against any claims and
demands of any Bank or assignee or participant of a Bank for the amount of any
tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the
Internal Revenue Code.

 

10.17.2.                                                         USA
Patriot Act.

 

Each Bank or assignee or participant of a Bank that is
not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state
thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in
Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is
both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that
maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii)
subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated
depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that
such Bank is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by
Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within
ten (10) days after the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are
required under the USA Patriot Act.

 

10.18                     Joinder of Guarantors.

 

Any Subsidiary of the Borrower which is required to
join this Agreement as a Guarantor pursuant to Section 7.2.9
[Subsidiaries, Partnerships and Joint Ventures] and which has not yet done so
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a Guarantor
Joinder in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1(G)(1)
pursuant to which it shall join as a Guarantor each of the documents to which
the Guarantors are parties; and (ii) documents in the forms described in
Section 6.1 [First Loans] modified as appropriate to relate to such
Subsidiary. The Loan Parties shall deliver such Guarantor Joinder and related
documents to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after the
date of (a) the filing of such Subsidiary’s articles of incorporation if the
Subsidiary is a corporation, (b) the filing of its certificate of limited
partnership if it is a limited partnership or (c) if it is an entity other than
a limited partnership or corporation, its organization.

the Guarantors party thereto, RSC Insurance Services Ltd., a Bermuda company,
PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), various other financial institutions
which are now or hereafter become a party thereto (PNC and such other financial

defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein with the same meanings.

 

                                            
(the “Assignor”) and                                                     
(the “Assignee”), intending to be legally bound hereby, make this Assignment
and Assumption Agreement (“Assignment and Assumption”) this         
day of                             ,
200     and hereby agree as follows:

 

1.               The Assignor hereby sells and assigns to
the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor,
WITHOUT RECOURSE to the Assignor and without any representations and warranties
except as set forth in Section 2 below, a               
percent (      %) interest in and to all of the
Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement as of the
Effective Date (as defined below) including, without limitation, such
percentage interest in the Assignor’s Commitments as in effect on the Effective
Date, the Loans owing to the Assignor on the Effective Date and the Notes
evidencing the outstanding Loans held by the Assignor.

 

2.               The Assignor (i) represents and
warrants that, as of the date hereof, its Revolving Credit Commitment is $                            ,
the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans owing to the Assignor
is $                          ;
(ii) represents and warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of
the interest being assigned by it hereunder and that such interest is free and
clear of any adverse claim; (iii) makes no representation or warranty and
assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any of
the Loan Documents or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan
Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iv) makes
no representations or warranties and assumes no responsibility with respect to
the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the
Borrower of any of its obligations under the Credit Agreement or any of the
Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto;
and (v) attaches the Notes referred to in paragraph 1 above and requests
that the Agent exchange such Notes for new Notes as follows:

 

[INSERT ASSIGNOR’S INSTRUCTIONS]

 

 

3.               The Assignee (i) confirms that it
has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, together with copies of the
financial statements (if any) referred to in Section 5.1.9 [Financial
Statements] and Section 7.3 [Reporting Requirements] of the Credit
Agreement and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate
to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Assignment and
Assumption; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Agent, the Assignor or any other Bank, 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 the Credit Agreement; (iii) appoints
and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise
such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms
thereof; (iv) agrees that it will become a party to and be bound by the
Credit Agreement on the Effective Date (including without limitation, the
provisions of Section 10.11 [Successors and Assigns]) as if it were an
original Bank thereunder and will have all of the obligations which by the
terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank; and
(v) specifies as its address for notices the office set forth beneath its
name on the signature page hereof.

 

4.               The effective date of this Assignment
and Assumption shall be the             
day of                                           ,
20         (the “Effective Date”).  Following the execution of this Assignment
and Assumption, it will be delivered to the Agent for acceptance and recording
by the Agent.

 

5.               Upon such acceptance and recording, as
of the Effective Date, (i) the Assignee shall be a party to the Credit
Agreement and, to the extent provided in this Assignment and Assumption, have
the rights and obligations of a Bank thereunder and under the Loan Documents
and (ii) the Assignor shall, to the extent provided in this Assignment and
Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under
the Credit Agreement, and the Commitments of the Assignor and the Assignee
shall be as set forth in Schedule I hereto.

 

6.               Upon such acceptance and recording, from
and after the Effective Date, the Agent shall make all payments under the
Credit Agreement and the Notes in respect of the interest assigned hereby
(including, without limitation, all payments of principal, interest and
Commitment Fees with respect thereto) to the Assignee.  The Assignor and Assignee shall make all
appropriate adjustments in payments under the Credit Agreement and the Notes
for periods prior to the Effective Date directly between themselves.

 

7.               The Assignor makes this assignment to
the Assignee in consideration of the payment by the Assignor to the Agent of

hereby acknowledged by the Agent.

 

8.               This Assignment and Assumption shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Law, and not the Law
of conflicts, of the State of New York.

 

9.               Each of the parties to this Assignment
and Assumption agrees that at any time and from time to time upon the written
request of any other party, it will execute and deliver such further documents
and do such further acts and things as such other party may reasonably request
in order to effect the purposes of this Assignment and Assumption.

 

 

10.         The Assignee hereby agrees to indemnify and
hold the Assignor harmless from and against any and all losses, costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) and liabilities
incurred by the Assignor in connection with or arising in any manner from the
Assignee’s performance or non-performance of obligations assumed under this
Assignment and Assumption.

 

11.         This Assignment and Assumption embodies the
entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes
all prior agreements and understandings between the parties hereto relating to
the subject matter hereof.

 

12.         [This section is
applicable only if the Assignee is incorporated outside of the United States.]  [The Assignee has delivered at least five (5) Business
Days prior to the Effective Date two (2) duly completed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9, W-8BEN or W-8IMY, or other applicable form
prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Assignee is
entitled to receive payments under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income
taxes, or is subject to such tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax
treaty.]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Assignment and
Assumption by their duly authorized officers on the date first above written.

the Notes (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and the other Loan Documents (as
defined in the Credit Agreement) to be performed or complied with by the
Debtors and the accuracy of the Debtors’ representations and warranties
contained in each of the Loan Documents (hereinafter collectively referred to
as the “Debtor Liabilities”), whether or not such Debtor Liabilities or any
portion thereof shall hereafter be released or discharged or is for any reason
invalid or unenforceable (capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are
defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them therein
unless otherwise defined in this Agreement);

 

2.                                                               Assent to all agreements made or to be made
between the Agent or any Bank and any other Person(s) liable, either absolutely
or contingently, on any of the Debtor Liabilities, including any and all such agreements
made by the Debtors and any co-maker, endorser, pledgor, surety or guarantor
(any such Person being hereinafter referred to as an “Obligor”), and

 

 

further agrees that the
Guarantors’ liability hereunder shall not be reduced or diminished by such
agreements in any way;

 

3.                                                               Consent and agree that their obligations and
liabilities hereunder shall in no way be reduced, limited, waived or released
if any other Person or Persons is presently or in the future becomes a surety
or guarantor in regard to the Debtor Liabilities or any other liabilities among
any Debtor, the Agent and the Banks;

 

4.                                                               Consent that the Agent and the Banks may, at
their option, without in any way affecting the Guarantors’ liability
hereunder:  (i) exchange, surrender
or release any or all collateral security of any endorsement, guaranty or
surety held by the Agent or the Banks for any of the Debtor Liabilities; (ii) renew,
extend, modify, supplement, amend, release, alter or compromise the terms of
any or all of the Debtor Liabilities; and (iii) waive or fail to perfect
the Agent’s and the Banks’ rights or remedies against any Debtor or the
collateral security for any of the Debtor Liabilities; and

 

5.                                                               Warrant that the address specified on the
signature page hereof, immediately below each Guarantor’s name, is such
Guarantor’s true and correct address, and agrees to notify the Agent, in the
manner hereinafter specified, within three (3) days after any change in
such Guarantor’s address.

 

CONTINUING
GUARANTORS.  This
Agreement shall be a continuing one and shall continue in full force and effect
until (subject to the terms and conditions of the Section of this
Agreement entitled Bankruptcy of the Debtors), all Debtor Liabilities
and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents have been paid and
performed in full, and all Commitments have terminated.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Guarantors hereby irrevocably waive any right to terminate or
revoke this Agreement.

 

EXTENT OF GUARANTOR’S LIABILITY.  This Agreement shall be and is intended to be
an absolute and unconditional guaranty and suretyship for the aggregate of the
Debtor Liabilities, including, but not limited to, the Indebtedness evidenced
by the Notes; provided, however that the Guarantors’ liability hereunder shall
be limited as set forth below.  The
obligations of the Guarantors under this Agreement, when construed collectively
with the obligations of (i) the Borrower under that certain Borrower/RSC
Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement, dated of even date herewith, made by the
Borrower for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks, and (ii) any other
Person that becomes a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement, are intended to be the joint and several obligations of the
Guarantors, the Borrower and such other Persons that become Guarantors under
the Credit Agreement, and this Agreement, when construed in connection with
such other Guaranty and Suretyship Agreements, is intended to be an absolute
and unconditional guaranty and suretyship for the aggregate of the Debtor
Liabilities.

 

Subject to the remainder of this paragraph, but otherwise
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
maximum liability of each Guarantor under this Agreement shall not exceed the
sum of (i) that portion of the Debtor Liabilities, the proceeds of which
are used by the Debtors to make Valuable Transfers (as hereinafter defined) to
such Guarantor, plus (ii) ninety-five percent (95%) of the Adjusted Net
Worth (as hereinafter

 

2

 

defined), but only to the extent that Adjusted Net Worth is a positive
number, of such Guarantor at the date of this Agreement.  For purposes of this paragraph:

 

“Adjusted Net Worth” shall mean, as of any
date of determination thereof, the excess of (i) the amount of the fair
saleable value of the assets of such Guarantor as of the date of such
determination, determined in accordance with applicable federal and state laws
governing determinations of insolvency of debtors, over (ii) the amount of
all liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, as of the date of
such determination, determined on the basis provided in the preceding clause
(i), in all events prior to giving effect to Valuable Transfers.

 

“Valuable Transfers” shall mean the Dollar
Equivalent amount of the following:  (a) all
loans, advances, other credit accommodations, or capital contributions made to
such Guarantor with proceeds of the Loans, (b) Letters of Credit
Outstanding with respect to the Letters of Credit issued to support the
obligations or Indebtedness of such Guarantor, (c) all debt securities or
other obligations or Indebtedness of such Guarantor acquired from such
Guarantor or retired, redeemed, purchased or acquired by such Guarantor with
proceeds of any Loans or of any Letters of Credit issued to support the
obligations or Indebtedness of such Guarantor, (d) all equity securities
of such Guarantor acquired from such Guarantor with the proceeds of any Loans
or of any drawings on Letters of Credit issued to support the obligations of
such Guarantor, (e) the fair market value of all property acquired with
proceeds of the Loans or of any drawings on Letters of Credit issued to support
the obligations or Indebtedness of such Guarantor and transferred to such
Guarantor, (f) the interest on and the fees in respect of the Loans, the
proceeds of which are used to make such a Valuable Transfer, and (g) the
value of any quantifiable economic benefits not included in clauses (a) through
(f) above, but includable in accordance with applicable federal and state
Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, accruing to such
Guarantor as a result of the Loans or the Letters of Credit Outstanding.

 

The Guarantors agree that the Debtor Liabilities may at any time and
from time to time exceed the maximum liability of the Guarantors hereunder
without impairing this Agreement or affecting the rights and remedies of the
Agent and the Banks hereunder.  No
payment or payments made by the Debtors or any other Person or received or
collected by the Agent or any Bank from the Debtors, the Guarantors or any
other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or
appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of
or in payment of the Debtor Liabilities shall be deemed to modify, reduce,
release or otherwise affect the liability of the Guarantors under this
Agreement, and the Guarantors shall, notwithstanding any such payment or
payments (other than payments made to the Agent or any Bank by the Guarantors
or payments received or collected by the Agent or any Bank from the
Guarantors), remain liable for the Debtor Liabilities up to the maximum
liability amount of the Guarantors set forth in this paragraph until the Debtor
Liabilities are indefeasibly paid in full in cash, the Commitments are
terminated according to the terms of the Credit Agreement and all Letters of
Credit have either expired or have been cancelled and all Bank-Provided Hedges
have either expired or have been canceled; provided, however,
that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the
Guarantors’ liability under this paragraph exceed the maximum amount that,
after giving effect to the incurring of the obligations hereunder and to

 

3

 

any rights to contribution of the Guarantors from the Debtors and other
Affiliates of the Debtors, would not render the Agent’s and the Banks’ right to
payment hereunder void, voidable or avoidable under any applicable fraudulent
transfer law; and further provided that if a greater amount of the Debtor
Liabilities than the maximum liability set forth in this paragraph could be
repaid by the Guarantors as a result of an increase in any Guarantor’s Adjusted
Net Worth subsequent to the date of this Agreement, without rendering the Agent’s
and the Banks’ right to payment hereunder void, voidable or avoidable under any
applicable fraudulent transfer law, then the amount of such Guarantor’s maximum
liability calculated in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be
calculated based upon such Guarantor’s Adjusted Net Worth on such later date,
rather than the date of execution of this Agreement.

 

UNCONDITIONAL
LIABILITY.  The
Guarantors’ liability hereunder is absolute and unconditional and shall not be
reduced, limited, waived, or released in any way by reason of:  (i) any failure of the Agent or any Bank
to obtain, retain, preserve, perfect or enforce any rights against any Person
(including without limitation, any Obligor) or in any property securing any or
all of the Debtor Liabilities; (ii) the invalidity or irregularity of any
such rights that the Agent and the Banks may attempt to obtain; (iii) any
delay in enforcing or any failure to enforce such rights, even if such rights
are thereby lost; (iv) any delay in making demand on any Obligor for
payment or performance of any or all of the Debtor Liabilities; or (v) from
time to time, the payment in full and subsequent incurring of any Debtor Liabilities.

 

RIGHT OF SET-OFF.  If any liability of any Guarantor hereunder
is not paid to the Agent when due, the Agent and the Banks may forthwith, at
any time and from time to time without notice to any Guarantor, any right to
such notice being hereby expressly waived by each Guarantor: set-off,
appropriate and apply against the liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder (i) any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final,
excluding, however, trust accounts for Benefit Arrangements), in any currency,
in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held by the Agent or any Bank, not to exceed the amount
then due, as the Agent or such Bank may elect, whether or not the Agent or such
Bank shall have made any demand for payment and (ii) any and all moneys
owed by the Agent or any Bank to any Guarantor in any capacity, whether or not
then due, and whether provisionally or finally credited upon the Agent’s and
the Banks’ books and records.

 

WAIVER.  The Guarantors hereby waive all notice with
respect to the present existence or future incurrence of any Debtor Liabilities
including, but not limited to, the amount, terms and conditions thereof.  The Guarantors hereby consent to the taking
of, or failure to take, from time to time, any action of any nature whatsoever
permitted by Law with respect to the Debtor Liabilities and with respect to any
rights against any Person or Persons (including, without limitation, any
Obligor), or in any property including, without limitation, any renewals,
extensions, modifications, postponements, compromises, indulgences, waivers,
surrenders, exchanges and releases, and the Guarantors will remain fully liable
hereunder notwithstanding any or all of the foregoing.  The granting of an express written release of
any Guarantor’s liability hereunder or any other Obligor’s liability shall be
effective only with respect to the liability hereunder of such Guarantor or
Obligor who is specifically so expressly released but shall in no way affect
the liability hereunder of such Guarantor or any Obligor not so expressly
released.  The dissolution of any
Guarantor, or any other Obligor, shall in no way affect the liability hereunder
or that of any other Obligor.  The Guarantors
hereby expressly waive:  (i)

 

4

 

notices of
acceptance hereof; (ii) any presentment, demand, protest, notice of
default in connection with the Debtor Liabilities, dishonor or notice of
dishonor; (iii) any right of indemnification; and (iv) any defense
arising by reason of any disability or other defense whatsoever to the
liability of the Debtors, or any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or in discharge of, the Guarantors with
respect to their obligations hereunder.

 

No payment by any
Guarantor shall entitle any other Obligor, by subrogation, contribution,
indemnification or otherwise, to succeed to any to the rights of the Agent and
the Banks, including rights to any payment made on account of the Debtor
Liabilities, regardless of the source of such payment until all of the Debtors’
obligations to the Agent and the Banks under the Loan Documents are satisfied
in full and are not subject to any right of disgorgement.  The Guarantors hereby waive any benefit of
and any right to participate in any collateral security now or hereafter held
by the Agent and the Banks or any failure or refusal by the Agent and the Banks
to perfect an interest in any collateral security.

 

BANKRUPTCY OF A
DEBTOR.  Neither the
Guarantors’ obligations to make payment in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement nor any remedy for the enforcement hereof shall be impaired,
modified, changed, released or limited in any manner whatsoever by any Debtor’s
bankruptcy or by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of
(i) the liability of any Debtor, any Person assuming the obligations of
any Debtor under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any
Debtor’s estate in bankruptcy or (ii) any remedy for the enforcement of
the Debtor Liabilities, either of which result from the operation of any
present or further provision of any bankruptcy act, Law or equitable cause or
from the decision of any court.  The
Guarantors agree that to the extent that a Debtor or any other Obligor makes a
payment or payments to the Agent or any Bank, which payment or payments or any
part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside and/or required to be paid to a trustee, receiver or
any other Person under any bankruptcy act, Law or equitable cause, then to the
extent of such payment, the Debtor Liabilities or part thereof intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said
payment had not been made.

 

PAYMENT OF COSTS.  In addition to all other liabilities of the
Guarantors hereunder, the Guarantors also agree to pay to the Agent on demand
all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
legal expenses) which may be incurred in the enforcement or collection of the
liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder.

 

PRIMARY LIABILITY
OF THE GUARANTORS.  The
Guarantors agree that this Agreement may be enforced by the Agent and the Banks
without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other
security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse
to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any collateral now or
hereafter securing the Debtor Liabilities or otherwise, and the Guarantors
hereby waive the right to require the Agent and the Banks to proceed against
any other Obligor or to require the Agent and the Banks to pursue any other
remedy or enforce any other right.  The
Guarantors further agree that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Agent
and the Banks from suing on the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
or any of them, or foreclosing their Lien, if any, on any collateral hereafter
securing the Debtor Liabilities or from exercising any other

 

5

 

rights available
under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any other
instrument of security if neither the Debtors nor the Guarantors satisfy the
Debtor Liabilities thereunder, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights
and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a
discharge of any of the obligations of the Guarantors thereunder; it being the
purpose and intent of the Guarantors that the obligations of the Guarantors
hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional.  Neither the obligations of the Guarantors
under this Agreement nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired,
modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment,
modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of the Debtors or
by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Debtor.  If acceleration of the time for payment of
any amount payable by each Debtor is stayed upon the insolvency or bankruptcy
of such Debtor, amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of
the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents including, without
limitation, interest at the rates set forth in the Credit Agreement occurring
after the date of such bankruptcy or insolvency, shall nonetheless be payable
by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Agent.  The Guarantors acknowledge that the term “Debtor
Liabilities” as used herein includes any payments made by the Debtors to the
Agent or the Banks and subsequently recovered by the Debtors or a trustee for
any Debtor pursuant to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.

 

ACCELERATION OF
THE GUARANTORS’ LIABILITIES. 
Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, all of the Debtor
Liabilities, at the Agent’s and the Banks’ option, shall be deemed to be
forthwith due and payable for the purposes of this Agreement and for
determining the liability of the Guarantors hereunder, whether or not the Agent
and the Banks have any such rights against any other Obligor, and whether or
not the Agent and the Banks elect to exercise any rights or remedies against
any other Person or property including, without limitation, any other
Obligor:  (1) the failure of any
Guarantor to perform any covenant or obligation hereunder; (2) the
occurrence of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement; (3) except
as otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the sale
of all or substantially all of the assets, or change in ownership, or the
dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of any Guarantor; (4) any
information or signature heretofore or hereafter furnished to the Agent or any
Bank by any Guarantor, or delivered to the Agent or any Bank by an Obligor in
connection with any of the Debtor Liabilities, is materially false or incorrect
at the time when made; or (5) the failure of any Guarantor or any Obligor
to furnish the Agent and the Banks such financial and other information as
required by the Loan Documents.

 

RIGHTS OF THE
GUARANTORS.  All rights
and remedies of the Guarantors against the Debtors or any property of the
Debtors or any collateral security for any of the Debtor Liabilities, whether
arising by promissory note, subrogation, security agreement, mortgage or
otherwise, shall in all respects be and remain subordinate and junior in right
of payment and priority to the prior and indefeasible payment in full to the
Agent and the Banks of all Debtor Liabilities and to the priority of the Agent and
the Banks in any property of the Debtors and any collateral security for any of
the Debtor Liabilities.  Any amount which
may have been paid to the Guarantors on account of any Indebtedness of the
Debtors to the Guarantors, or on account of any subrogation or other rights of
the Guarantors against the Debtors, when all of the Debtor Liabilities shall
not have been indefeasibly paid in full, shall be held by the undersigned in
trust for the benefit of the Banks and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent to
be credited and applied upon the Debtor Liabilities, whether matured or
unmatured.

 

6

 

NOTICE TO THE AGENT AND THE BANKS BY THE GUARANTORS.  Any notice to the Agent or the Banks by the
Guarantors pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be given as provided in the
Credit Agreement and such notice shall be effective as provided in the Credit
Agreement.

 

Notice by the
Guarantors shall not, in any way, reduce, diminish or release the liability of
any other Obligor.  In the event that
this Agreement is preceded or followed by any other guaranty or surety
agreement(s) regarding the Debtors or any other Person, all rights granted to
the Agent and the Banks in such agreement(s) shall be deemed to be cumulative
and this Agreement shall not, in such event, be deemed to be cancelled,
superseded, terminated or in any way limited.

 

COUNTERPARTS.  This
Agreement may be signed in any number of counterpart copies and by the parties
hereto on separate counterparts, but all such copies shall constitute one and
the same instrument.  Delivery of an
executed counterpart of signature page to this Agreement by facsimile
transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart.  Any party so executing this
Agreement by facsimile transmission shall promptly deliver a manually executed
counterpart, provided that any failure to do so shall not affect the validity
of the counterpart executed by facsimile transmission.

 

MISCELLANEOUS.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Guarantors and the Guarantors’ successors and assigns, and shall inure to the
benefit of the Agent and the Banks, their respective endorsers, successors and
assigns forever.  If any provision of
this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable,
such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision
hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.  All matters arising hereunder shall be
governed by the Laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts
of laws thereof, and the parties hereto agree to the jurisdiction and venue of
the Supreme Court of New York County and the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York with respect to any suit arising in
connection herewith.

 

WAIVER OF
TRIAL BY JURY.  THE
UNDERSIGNED HEREBY EXPRESSLY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE ALL BENEFIT AND
ADVANTAGE OF ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AND THEY WILL NOT AT ANY TIME INSIST
UPON, OR PLEAD OR IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER CLAIM OR TAKE THE BENEFIT OR
ADVANTAGE OF A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

EXHIBIT 1.1(G)(3)

 

FORM OF

BORROWER/RSC GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP
AGREEMENT

 

IN CONSIDERATION of credit granted or to be granted by PNC Bank,
National Association (“PNC Bank”) and various other financial institutions from
time to time (PNC Bank and such other financial institutions are each a “Bank”
and collectively, the “Banks”) pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement, dated

induce the Banks to issue letters of credit for the account of RSC (the “Debtor”),
Papa John’s International, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower/RSC

severally with each of the Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement):

 

1.                                       Becomes an
absolute and unconditional guarantor and surety as though it were a primary
obligor to the Agent and the Banks, their respective successors, endorsees and
assigns, for (i) the prompt payment and performance when due (whether at
maturity, by declaration, acceleration or otherwise) of all Reimbursement
Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Debtor and all other
Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Debtor including,
without limitation, all extensions, modifications, renewals thereof and
substitutions therefor, whether absolute or contingent, direct or indirect,
matured or unmatured, sole, joint or several, of any nature whatsoever, without
regard to the validity, enforceability or regularity thereof including, without
limitation, continuing interest thereon in accordance with the terms thereof
and all expenses (including any reasonable costs of legal expenses) incurred by

against the Borrower/RSC Guarantor under this Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement

unenforceable (capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the
Credit Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them therein unless
otherwise defined in this Agreement);

 

2.                                       Assents to all

Borrower/RSC Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not be reduced or diminished
by such agreements in any way;

 

 

3.                                       Consents
and agrees that its obligations and liabilities hereunder shall in no way be
reduced, limited, waived or released if any other Person or Persons is presently
or in the future becomes a surety or guarantor in regard to the Debtor
Liabilities or any other liabilities among the Debtor, the Agent and the Banks;

 

4.                                       Consents
that the Agent and the Banks may, at their option, without in any way affecting
the Borrower/RSC Guarantor’s liability hereunder:  (i) exchange, surrender or release any
or all collateral security of any endorsement, guaranty or surety held by the
Agent or the Banks for any of the Debtor Liabilities; (ii) renew, extend,
modify, supplement, amend, release, alter or compromise the terms of any or all
of the Debtor Liabilities; and (iii) waive or fail to perfect the Agent’s
and the Banks’ rights or remedies against the Debtor or the collateral security
for any of the Debtor Liabilities; and

 

5.                                       Warrants
that the address specified on the signature page hereof, immediately below
the Borrower/RSC Guarantor’s name, is the Borrower/RSC Guarantor’s true and
correct address, and agrees to notify the Agent, in the manner hereinafter
specified, within three (3) days after any change in the Borrower/RSC
Guarantor’s address.

 

CONTINUING
GUARANTOR.  This
Agreement shall be a continuing one and shall continue in full force and effect
until (subject to the terms and conditions of the Section of this
Agreement entitled Bankruptcy of the Debtor), all Debtor Liabilities and
all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement have been paid and
performed in full, and all Commitments thereunder have terminated.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Borrower/RSC Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to
terminate or revoke this Agreement.

 

EXTENT OF THE BORROWER/RSC GUARANTOR’S LIABILITY.  This Agreement shall be and is intended to be
an absolute and unconditional guaranty and suretyship for the aggregate of the
Debtor Liabilities.  The Agent may apply
any payment received on account of the Debtor Liabilities in such order as the
Banks, in their sole discretion, may elect. 
The obligations of the Borrower/RSC Guarantor under this Agreement, when
construed collectively with the obligations of (i) the Guarantors under
that certain Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement, dated of even date herewith,
and made by the Guarantors for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks, and (ii) any
other Person that becomes a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the
Credit Agreement, are intended to be the joint and several obligations of the
Borrower/RSC Guarantor, the Guarantors and such other Persons that become
Guarantors under the Credit Agreement, and this Agreement, when construed in
connection with such other Guaranty and Suretyship Agreements, is intended to
be an absolute and unconditional guaranty and suretyship for the aggregate of
the Debtor Liabilities.

 

UNCONDITIONAL
LIABILITY.  The
Borrower/RSC Guarantor’s liability hereunder is absolute and unconditional and
shall not be reduced, limited, waived, or released in any way by reason
of:  (i) any failure of the Agent or
any Bank to obtain, retain, preserve, perfect or enforce any rights against any
Person (including without limitation, any Obligor) or in any property securing
any or all of the Debtor Liabilities; (ii) the invalidity or irregularity
of any such rights that the Agent and the Banks may attempt to obtain; (iii) any
delay in enforcing or any failure to enforce such rights, even if such rights
are thereby lost; (iv) any delay in making demand on any

 

2

 

Obligor for
payment or performance of any or all of the Debtor Liabilities; or (v) from
time to time, the payment in full and subsequent incurring of any Debtor
Liabilities.

 

RIGHT OF SET-OFF.  If any liability of the Borrower/RSC
Guarantor hereunder is not paid to the Agent when due, the Agent and the Banks
may forthwith, at any time and from time to time without notice to the
Borrower/RSC Guarantor, any right to such notice being hereby expressly waived
by the Borrower/RSC Guarantor: set-off, appropriate and apply against the
liabilities of the Borrower/RSC Guarantor hereunder (i) any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, excluding,
however, trust accounts for Benefit Arrangements), in any currency, in each
case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured,
at any time held by the Agent or any Bank, not to exceed the amount then due,
as the Agent or such Bank may elect, whether or not the Agent or such Bank
shall have made any demand for payment and (ii) any and all moneys owed by
the Agent or any Bank to the Borrower/RSC Guarantor in any capacity, whether or
not then due, and whether provisionally or finally credited upon the Agent’s
and the Banks’ books and records.

 

WAIVER.  The Borrower/RSC Guarantor hereby waives all
notice with respect to the present existence or future incurrence of any Debtor
Liabilities including, but not limited to, the amount, terms and conditions
thereof.  The Borrower/RSC Guarantor
hereby consents to the taking of, or failure to take, from time to time, any
action of any nature whatsoever permitted by Law with respect to the Debtor
Liabilities and with respect to any rights against any Person or Persons
(including, without limitation, any Obligor), or in any property including,
without limitation, any renewals, extensions, modifications, postponements,
compromises, indulgences, waivers, surrenders, exchanges and releases, and the
Borrower/RSC Guarantor will remain fully liable hereunder notwithstanding any
or all of the foregoing.  The granting of
an express written release of the Borrower/RSC Guarantor’s liability hereunder
or any other Obligor’s liability shall be effective only with respect to the
liability hereunder of the Borrower/RSC Guarantor or Obligor who is
specifically so expressly released but shall in no way affect the liability
hereunder of the Borrower/RSC Guarantor or any Obligor not so expressly
released.  The dissolution of the
Borrower/RSC Guarantor, or any other Obligor, shall in no way affect the
liability hereunder or that of any other Obligor.  The Borrower/RSC Guarantor hereby expressly
waives:  (i) notices of acceptance
hereof; (ii) any presentment, demand, protest, notice of default in
connection with the Debtor Liabilities, dishonor or notice of dishonor; (iii) any
right of indemnification; and (iv) any defense arising by reason of any
disability or other defense whatsoever to the liability of the Debtor, or any
other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or
in discharge of, the Borrower/RSC Guarantor with respect to its obligations
hereunder.

 

No payment by the
Borrower/RSC Guarantor shall entitle any other Obligor, by subrogation,
contribution, indemnification or otherwise, to succeed to any of the rights of
the Agent and the Banks, including rights to any payment made on account of the
Debtor Liabilities, regardless of the source of such payment until all of the
Debtor’s obligations to the Agent and the Banks under the Credit Agreement are
satisfied in full and are not subject to any right of disgorgement.  The Borrower/RSC Guarantor hereby waives any
benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security now or
hereafter held by the Agent and the Banks or any failure or refusal by the
Agent and the Banks to perfect an interest in any collateral security.

BANKRUPTCY OF THE
DEBTOR.  Neither the
Borrower/RSC Guarantor’s obligations to make payment in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement nor any remedy for the enforcement hereof shall be
impaired, modified, changed, released or limited in any manner whatsoever by
the Debtor’s bankruptcy or by any impairment, modification, change, release or
limitation of (i) the liability of the Debtor, any Person assuming the
obligations of the Debtor under the Credit Agreement or the Debtor’s estate in
bankruptcy or (ii) any remedy for the enforcement of the Debtor
Liabilities, either of which result from the operation of any present or
further provision of any bankruptcy act, Law or equitable cause or from the
decision of any court.  The Borrower/RSC
Guarantor agrees that to the extent that the Debtor or any other Obligor makes
a payment or payments to the Agent or any Bank, which payment or payments or
any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside and/or required to be paid to a trustee, receiver or
any other Person under any bankruptcy act, Law or equitable cause, then to the
extent of such payment, the Debtor Liabilities or part thereof intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said
payment had not been made.

 

PAYMENT OF COSTS.  In addition to all other liabilities of the
Borrower/RSC Guarantor hereunder, the Borrower/RSC Guarantor also agrees to pay
to the Agent on demand all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) which may be incurred in the enforcement or
collection of the liabilities of the Borrower/RSC Guarantor hereunder.

 

PRIMARY LIABILITY
OF THE BORROWER/RSC GUARANTOR.  The Borrower/RSC Guarantor agrees that this
Agreement may be enforced by the Agent and the Banks without the necessity at
any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and
without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the Credit Agreement,
or any collateral now or hereafter securing the Debtor Liabilities or
otherwise, and the Borrower/RSC Guarantor hereby waives the right to require
the Agent and the Banks to proceed against any other Obligor or to require the
Agent and the Banks to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right.  The Borrower/RSC Guarantor further agrees
that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Agent and the Banks from suing
on the Credit Agreement, or any of them, or foreclosing their Lien, if any, on
any collateral hereafter securing the Debtor Liabilities or from exercising any
other rights available under the Credit Agreement, or any other instrument of
security if neither the Debtor nor the Borrower/RSC Guarantor satisfy the
Debtor Liabilities thereunder, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights
and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a
discharge of any of the obligations of the Borrower/RSC Guarantor thereunder;
it being the purpose and intent of the Borrower/RSC Guarantor that the obligations
of the Borrower/RSC Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, independent and
unconditional.  Neither the obligations
of the Borrower/RSC Guarantor under this Agreement nor any remedy for the
enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any
manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation
of the liability of the Debtor or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of
the Debtor.  If acceleration of the time
for payment of any amount payable by the Debtor is stayed upon the insolvency
or bankruptcy of the Debtor, amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under
the terms of the Credit Agreement including, without limitation, interest at
the rates set forth in the Credit Agreement occurring after the date of such
bankruptcy or insolvency, shall nonetheless be payable by the Borrower/RSC
Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the

 

4

 

Agent.  The Borrower/RSC Guarantor acknowledges that
the term “Debtor Liabilities” as used herein includes any payments made by the
Debtor to the Agent or the Banks and subsequently recovered by the Debtor or a
trustee for the Debtor pursuant to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.

 

ACCELERATION OF
THE BORROWER/RSC GUARANTOR’S LIABILITIES.  Upon the occurrence of any of the following
events, all of the Debtor Liabilities, at the Agent’s and the Banks’ option,
shall be deemed to be forthwith due and payable for the purposes of this
Agreement and for determining the liability of the Borrower/RSC Guarantor
hereunder, whether or not the Agent and the Banks have any such rights against
any other Obligor, and whether or not the Agent and the Banks elect to exercise
any rights or remedies against any other Person or property including, without
limitation, any other Obligor:  (1) the
failure of the Borrower/RSC Guarantor to perform any covenant or obligation
hereunder; (2) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Credit
Agreement; (3) except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of the
Credit Agreement, the sale of all or substantially all of the assets, or change
in ownership, or the dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of
any Guarantor; (4) any information or signature heretofore or hereafter
furnished to the Agent or any Bank by the Borrower/RSC Guarantor, or delivered
to the Agent or any Bank by an Obligor in connection with any of the Debtor
Liabilities, is materially false or incorrect at the time when made; or (5) the
failure of the Borrower/RSC Guarantor or any Obligor to furnish the Agent and
the Banks such financial and other information as required by the Loan
Documents.

 

RIGHTS OF THE
BORROWER/RSC GUARANTOR. 
All rights and remedies of the Borrower/RSC Guarantor against the Debtor
or any property of the Debtor or any collateral security for any of the Debtor
Liabilities, whether arising by promissory note, subrogation, security
agreement, mortgage or otherwise, shall in all respects be and remain
subordinate and junior in right of payment and priority to the prior and
indefeasible payment in full to the Agent and the Banks of all Debtor
Liabilities and to the priority of the Agent and the Banks in any property of
the Debtor and any collateral security for any of the Debtor Liabilities.  Any amount which may have been paid to the
Borrower/RSC Guarantor on account of any Indebtedness of the Debtor to the
Borrower/RSC Guarantor, or on account of any subrogation or other rights of the
Borrower/RSC Guarantor against the Debtor, when all of the Debtor Liabilities
shall not have been indefeasibly paid in full, shall be held by the undersigned
in trust for the benefit of the Banks and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent
to be credited and applied upon the Debtor Liabilities, whether matured or
unmatured.

 

NOTICE TO THE AGENT AND THE BANKS BY THE BORROWER/RSC GUARANTOR.  Any notice to the Agent or the Banks by the
Borrower/RSC Guarantor pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be given as
provided in the Credit Agreement and such notice shall be effective as provided
in the Credit Agreement.

 

Notice by the
Borrower/RSC Guarantor shall not, in any way, reduce, diminish or release the
liability of any other Obligor.  In the
event that this Agreement is preceded or followed by any other guaranty or
surety agreement(s) regarding the Debtor or any other Person, all rights
granted to the Agent and the Banks in such agreement(s) shall be deemed to be
cumulative and this Agreement shall not, in such event, be deemed to be
cancelled, superseded, terminated or in any way limited.

 

5

 

MISCELLANEOUS.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Borrower/RSC Guarantor and the Borrower/RSC Guarantor’s successors and assigns
and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and the Banks, their respective
endorsers, successors and assigns forever. 
If any provision of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be
invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect
any other provision hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such
invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.  All matters arising hereunder shall be
governed by the Laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of
laws thereof, and the parties hereto agree to the jurisdiction and venue of the
Supreme Court of New York County and the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York with respect to any suit arising in connection
herewith.

 

WAIVER OF
TRIAL BY JURY.  THE
UNDERSIGNED HEREBY EXPRESSLY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ALL BENEFIT AND
ADVANTAGE OF ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AND IT WILL NOT AT ANY TIME INSIST
UPON, OR PLEAD OR IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER CLAIM OR TAKE THE BENEFIT OR
ADVANTAGE OF A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

EXHIBIT 1.1(I)

 

FORM OF

INTERCOMPANY SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT

 

THIS INTERCOMPANY SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”)
is dated the 31st day of January, 2006 and is made by and among the
entities listed on the signature page hereto (or subsequently joining this
Agreement) (each being individually referred to herein as a “Company” and
collectively as the “Companies”).

 

WITNESSETH THAT:

 

WHEREAS, each capitalized term used herein shall,
unless otherwise defined herein, have the meaning specified in the Credit
Agreement, dated the 31st day of January, 2006 (as it may be
hereafter amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Papa John’s International, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors party thereto, RSC
Insurance Services Ltd., a Bermuda company, the Banks party thereto (the “Banks”)
and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Agent”) for
the Banks; and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, the Banks intend to make Loans to the Borrower; and

 

WHEREAS, the Companies are or may become indebted to
each other (the Indebtedness of each of the Companies to any other Company, now
existing or hereafter incurred (whether created directly or acquired by
assignment or otherwise), and interest and premiums, if any, thereon and other
amounts payable in respect thereof are hereinafter collectively referred to as
the “Intercompany Indebtedness”); and

 

WHEREAS, the obligations of the Banks to maintain the
Commitments and make Loans to the Borrower from time to time are subject to the
condition, among others, that the Companies subordinate the Intercompany
Indebtedness to the Indebtedness and all other Obligations of the Borrower or
any other Company to the Agent or the Banks or any Affiliate of any Bank pursuant
to the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Senior
Debt”) in the manner set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound hereby,
the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Intercompany Indebtedness Subordinated to
Senior Debt.  The recitals set forth above are hereby
incorporated by reference.  All
Intercompany Indebtedness shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment
to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all Senior Debt pursuant to the
provisions contained herein.

 

2.                                       Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution,
Etc.  Upon any distribution of assets of any
Company in the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or
proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar
case or proceeding in connection

 

 

therewith,
relative to any such Company or to its creditors, as such, or to its assets, or
(b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of any such Company,
whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or
bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any
marshalling of assets and liabilities of any such Company (a Company
distributing assets as set forth herein being referred to in such capacity as a
“Distributing Company”), then and in any such event, the Agent shall be
entitled to receive, for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks as their
respective interests may appear, indefeasible payment in full of all amounts
due or to become due (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred under the
terms of the Loan Documents or the Senior Debt has been declared due and
payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and
payable) on or in respect of any and all Senior Debt before the holder of any
Intercompany Indebtedness owed by the Distributing Company is entitled to
receive any payment on account of the principal of or interest on such
Intercompany Indebtedness, and to that end, the Agent shall be entitled to
receive, for application to the payment of the Senior Debt, any payment or
distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities,
which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Intercompany Indebtedness
owed by the Distributing Company in any such case, proceeding, dissolution,
liquidation or other winding up event.

 

If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section, a Company which is owed Intercompany Indebtedness by a Distributing
Company shall have received any payment or distribution of assets from the
Distributing Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be held
in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks as their respective
interests may appear, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by
such Company, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Agent in the same form as
so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of
cash) to or held as collateral (in the case of noncash property or securities)
for the payment or prepayment of the Senior Debt in accordance with the terms
of the Credit Agreement.

 

3.                                       No Commencement of Any Proceeding.  Each
Company agrees that, so long as the Senior Debt shall remain unpaid, it will
not commence, or join with any creditor other than the Banks and the Agent in
commencing any proceeding referred to in the first paragraph of Section 2
against any other Company which owes it any Intercompany Indebtedness.

 

4.                                       Prior Payment of Senior Debt Upon
Acceleration of Intercompany Indebtedness.  If any
portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness owed by any Company becomes or is
declared due and payable before its stated maturity, then and in such event the
Agent and the Banks shall be entitled to receive indefeasible payment in full
of all amounts due and to become due on or in respect of the Senior Debt
(whether or not an Event of Default has occurred under the terms of the Loan
Documents or the Senior Debt has been declared due and payable prior to the
date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable) before the holder
of any such Intercompany Indebtedness is entitled to receive any payment
thereon.

 

If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Company shall
make any payment of Intercompany Indebtedness prohibited by the foregoing
provisions of this Section, such payment shall be paid over and delivered
forthwith to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks as their
respective interests may appear.

 

2

 

The provisions of this Section shall not apply
to any payment with respect to which Section 2 hereof would be applicable.

 

5.                                       No Payment When Senior Debt in Default.  If
any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or such an Event of
Default or Potential Default would result from or exist after giving effect to
a payment with respect to any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness, unless
the Required Banks shall have consented to or waived the same, so long as any
of the Senior Debt shall remain outstanding, no payment shall be made by any
Company owing such Intercompany Indebtedness on account of principal or
interest on any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness.

 

If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Company shall
make any payment of the Intercompany Indebtedness to another Company prohibited
by the foregoing provisions of this Section, such payment shall be paid over
and delivered forthwith to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the
Banks as their respective interests may appear.

 

The provisions of this Section shall not apply
to any payment with respect to which Section 2 hereof would be applicable.

 

6.                                       Payment Permitted if No Default. 
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent any of the Companies,
at any time except during the pendency of any of the conditions described in
Sections 2, 4 and 5, from making payments at any time of principal of or
interest on any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness, or the retention
thereof by any of the Companies of any money deposited with them for the
payment of or on account of the principal of or interest on the Intercompany
Indebtedness.

 

7.                                       Rights of Subrogation.  Each
Company agrees that no payment or distribution to the Agent or the Banks pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle it to exercise any rights of
subrogation in respect thereof until the Senior Debt shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated.

 

8.                                       Instruments Evidencing Intercompany
Indebtedness.  Each Company shall cause each instrument
which now or hereafter evidences all or a portion of the Intercompany
Indebtedness to be conspicuously marked as follows:

 

“This instrument is
subject to the terms of an Intercompany Subordination Agreement dated January 31,
2006, in favor of PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for
the Banks referred to therein, which Intercompany Subordination Agreement is
incorporated herein by reference. 
Notwithstanding any contrary statement contained in the within
instrument, no payment on account of the principal thereof or interest thereon
shall become due or payable except in accordance with the express terms of said
Intercompany Subordination Agreement.”

 

Each
Company will further mark its books of account in such a manner as shall be
effective to give proper notice to the effect of this Agreement.

 

3

 

9.                                       Agreement Solely to Define Relative Rights.  The
purpose of this Agreement is solely to define the relative rights of the
Companies, on the one hand, and the Agent and the Banks, on the other
hand.  Nothing contained in this
Agreement is intended to or shall impair, as between any of the Companies and
their creditors other than the Agent and the Banks, the obligation of the
Companies to each other to pay the principal of and interest on the
Intercompany Indebtedness as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with its terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative
rights among the Companies and their creditors other than the Agent and the
Banks, nor shall anything herein prevent any of the Companies from exercising
all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable Law upon default under any
agreement pursuant to which the Intercompany Indebtedness is created, subject
to the rights, if any, under this Agreement of the Agent and the Banks to
receive cash, property or securities otherwise payable or deliverable with
respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness.

 

10.                                 No Implied Waivers of Subordination.  No
right of the Agent or any Bank to enforce subordination, as herein provided,
shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to
act on the part of any Company or by any act or failure to act by the Agent or
any Bank, or by any non-compliance by any Company with the terms, provisions
and covenants of any agreement pursuant to which the Intercompany Indebtedness
is created, regardless of any knowledge thereof the Agent or any Bank may have
or be otherwise charged with.  Each
Company by its acceptance hereof shall agree that, so long as there is Senior
Debt outstanding or Commitments in effect under the Credit Agreement, such
Company shall not agree to sell, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose
of, or to compromise, the obligations of the other Companies with respect to
their Intercompany Indebtedness, other than by means of payment of such
Intercompany Indebtedness according to its terms, without the prior written
consent of the Agent.

 

Without in any way limiting the generality of the
foregoing paragraph, the Agent or any of the Banks may, at any time and from
time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Companies except the
Borrower to the extent provided in the Credit Agreement, without incurring
responsibility to the Companies and without impairing or releasing the
subordination provided in this Agreement or the obligations hereunder of the
Companies to the Agent and the Banks, do any one or more of the following: (i) change
the manner, place or terms of payment, or extend the time of payment, renew or
alter the Senior Debt or otherwise amend or supplement the Senior Debt or the
Loan Documents; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any
property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing the Senior Debt; (iii) release
any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Senior
Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any
of the Companies and any other Person.

 

11.                                 Additional Subsidiaries.  The
Companies covenant and agree that they shall cause any Subsidiaries required to
join this Agreement pursuant to or otherwise under the Credit Agreement, to
execute a Joinder in the form of Exhibit 1.1(G)(1) to the
Credit Agreement, whereby such Subsidiary joins this Agreement and subordinates
all Indebtedness owed to any such Subsidiary by any of the Companies or other
Subsidiaries hereafter created or acquired to the Senior Debt.

 

12.                                 Continuing Force and Effect.  This
Agreement shall continue in force for so long as any portion of the Senior Debt
remains unpaid and any Commitments under the Credit

 

4

 

Agreement
remain outstanding, it being contemplated that this Agreement be of a
continuing nature.

 

13.                                 Modification, Amendments or Waivers.  Any
and all agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or the
