Accordingly, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

denominated in Sterling or Euro for any Interest Period, an interest rate per
annum equal to the sum of (i) the LIBO Rate for such currency and such
Interest Period plus (ii) the Mandatory Costs Rate.

means JPMCB, in its capacity as administrative agent hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents, and its successors in such capacity as provided in Article VIII;
provided, that the Administrative Agent may from time to time designate

Rate.

 

“Alternate Currencies”

precedent set forth in Section 4.02(a) or 4.02(b) would not be
satisfied if such Swingline Loan were then made (in which case the Swingline
Lender shall have no obligation to make such Swingline Loan).  Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees
that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to
this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default
or any reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment
shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever.  Each Lender shall comply
with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect
to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this
paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Swingline
Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this
paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such

 

35

 

Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the
Swingline Lender.  Any amounts received
by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other Person on behalf of the
Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender
of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted
to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative
Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders
that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the
Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such
payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the
Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is
required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.  The purchase of participations in a Swingline
Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not constitute a Loan and shall not
relieve the Borrower of its obligation to repay such Swingline Loan.

 

SECTION 2.05.  Letters of Credit.  (a)  General.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own
account, denominated in US Dollars, Euro or Sterling and in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any
time and from time to time during the Availability Period.  Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be
deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement (including paragraphs (d) and (f) of
this Section) to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder for the account of the
Borrower.  In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms
and conditions of any letter of credit application or other agreement submitted
by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with an Issuing Bank
relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement
shall control.

 

(b)  Notice of
Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.  To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit
or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit, the
Borrower shall hand deliver or fax (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the recipient) to the
applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, reasonably in advance of
the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, a notice
requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of
Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the requested date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the
date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with
paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount and currency of such
Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such
other information as shall be necessary to enable the applicable Issuing Bank
to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.  If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank,
the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing
Bank’s standard form in connection with any such request.  In the event and to the extent that the
provisions of any such application shall conflict with, or shall otherwise
include representations, warranties, covenants or defaults more restrictive
than those set forth in, this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall
govern and such provisions in such application shall be of no force or
effect.  A Letter of Credit shall be
issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon each issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be
deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension, 

 

36

 

(i) the LC Exposure will not exceed US$50,000,000 and (ii) the
aggregate Revolving Exposure will not exceed the aggregate Commitments.  Each Issuing Bank agrees that it shall not
permit any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit to
occur unless it shall have given to the Administrative Agent written notice
thereof required under paragraph (j) of this Section.

 

(c)  Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or
prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year
after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any
renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the
date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, unless arrangements
mutually satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrower shall
have been made at the time of issuance, renewal or extension to cash collateralize
such Letter of Credit; provided that any Letter of Credit may contain
customary automatic renewal provisions agreed upon by the Borrower and the
Issuing Bank pursuant to which the expiration date of such Letter of Credit
shall automatically be extended for a period of up to 12 months (but not to a
date later than the date set forth in clause (ii) above), subject to
a right on the part of such Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal from
occurring by giving notice to the beneficiary in advance of any such renewal.

 

(d)  Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an
amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any
further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender, the
Issuing Bank that is the issuer thereof hereby grants to each Lender, and each
Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter
of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the
foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank under
such Letter of Credit and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as
provided in paragraph (f) of this Section, or of any reimbursement
payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its
obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of
Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of
any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any
reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall
be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees
that, in issuing, amending, renewing or extending any Letter of Credit, the
applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any
liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the Borrower set
forth in Section 4.02, unless, at least one Business Day prior to the time
such Letter of Credit is issued, renewed or extended, the Required Lenders
shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or
circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent
set forth in Section 4.02(a) or 4.02(b) would not be satisfied
if such Letter of Credit were 

 

37

 

then issued, amended, renewed or extended (in which case the applicable
Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, renew or extend such Letter of
Credit).

 

(e)  Disbursements.  Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following
its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for
payment under a Letter of Credit and shall promptly notify the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery or facsimile)
of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make
an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or
delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to
reimburse such LC Disbursement.

 

(f)  Reimbursements.  If an Issuing Bank shall make an LC
Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse
such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to
such LC Disbursement, in the currency thereof, not later than (i) if the
Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on any Business Day, then 12:00 noon, New York City time,
on such Business Day or (ii) otherwise, 12:00 noon, New York City
time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower
receives such notice; provided that, if the amount of such LC
Disbursement is denominated in US Dollars and is US$1,000,000 or more, the
Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request
in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with
an ABR Borrowing or a Swingline Loan and, to the extent so financed, the
Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by
the resulting ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan. 
If the Borrower fails to reimburse any LC Disbursement by the time
specified above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of such
failure, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect of the applicable LC
Disbursement and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice,
each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of
the amount then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06
with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this
paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable
Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this
paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments
pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders
and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this
paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for an LC Disbursement (other than the
funding of an ABR Borrowing or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall
not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to
reimburse such LC Disbursement.

 

(g)  Obligations
Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligation
to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section is
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever
and irrespective of (i) any lack of 

 

38

 

validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement,
or any term or provision thereof or hereof, (ii) any draft or other
document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or
invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in
any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit
against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for
the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of,
or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations
hereunder.  None of the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their Related Parties shall
have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the
issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit, any payment or failure to make
any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in
the preceding sentence), any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in
transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or
relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a
drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any
other act, failure to act or other event or circumstance; provided that
the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability
to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to
consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower)
suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to
exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented
under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in
the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of an Issuing
Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
nonappealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised
care in each such determination.  In
furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the
parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their
face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an
Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon
such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of
any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment
upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the
terms of such Letter of Credit.

 

(h)  Interim Interest.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC
Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in
full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall
bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is
made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC
Disbursement in full, (i) in case of an LC Disbursement denominated in US
Dollars, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans, and (ii) in
the case of an LC Disbursement denominated in any other currency, at the rate
per annum determined by such Issuing Bank (which determination will be
conclusive absent demonstrable error) to represent its cost of funds plus
the Applicable Rate used to determine interest applicable to LIBOR Loans; provided
that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant
to paragraph (f) of this Section, then Section 2.12(d) shall
apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this
paragraph shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of
payment by 

 

39

 

any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to
reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender
to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand
has been made, on the date on which the Borrower reimburses the applicable LC
Disbursement in full.

 

(i)  Cash
Collateralization.  If any Event of
Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower
receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding
the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall
deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the
Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash in
US Dollars equal to 105% of the LC Exposure as of such date (determined, in the
case of Letters of Credit denominated in Alternate Currencies, on the basis of
Exchange Rates prevailing on such date) plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral
shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately
due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in
clause (h) or (i) of Article VII.  The Borrower also shall deposit cash
collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.10(b).  Each deposit of cash collateral shall be held
by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of
the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive
dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such
account.  The Administrative Agent shall,
to the extent funds in such account shall not be required for application
hereunder, be invested in overnight or short-term Permitted Investments
selected by the Administrative Agent, which investments shall be made at the
Borrower’s risk and expense.  Interest or
profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by
the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements
for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall
be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower
for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement.  If the Borrower is required
to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence
of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid)
shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events
of Default have been cured or waived.  If
the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder
pursuant to Section 2.10(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as and to the extent that, after
giving effect to such return, the aggregate Revolving Exposures would not
exceed the aggregate Commitment and no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.

 

(j)  Issuing Bank
Reports to the Administrative Agent. 
Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank
shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) reasonably prior
to the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter
of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the
face amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it
and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, 

 

40

 

amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall
have changed), (ii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes
any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iii) on
any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement
required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such
failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (iv) on any other
Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably
request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

 

SECTION 2.06.  Funding of Borrowings.  (a)  Each Lender shall make each Loan to
be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of
the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by
notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as
provided in Section 2.04.  The
Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly
remitting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower
or, in the case of ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC
Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f), to the Issuing Bank specified
by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.

 

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

 

SECTION 2.07.  Interest Elections.  (a)  Each Borrowing  initially shall be of the Type and, in the
case of a EURIBOR Borrowing or LIBOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest
Period as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or as otherwise
provided in Section 2.03. 
Thereafter, the Borrower may, in the case of a Borrowing denominated in
US Dollars, elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type
or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a EURIBOR Borrowing or LIBOR
Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.  The Borrower may elect different options with
respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each
such portion shall be allocated ratably among the 

 

41

 

Lenders, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered
a separate Borrowing.  This Section shall
not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

 

(b)  To make an election pursuant to
this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required
under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type
resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such
election.  Each such telephonic Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of an executed written
Interest Election Request.  Each telephonic
and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information
in compliance with Section 2.02:

 

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

 

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

 

(iii)          in
the case of a borrowing denominated in US Dollars, whether the resulting
Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing; and

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(d)  If the Borrower fails
to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a EURIBOR
Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing and fails, at or prior to the time at which such
Interest Election Request for the continuation of such Borrowing for an
additional Interest Period would be required to be delivered, to deliver a
notice pursuant to Section 2.09 to the effect that the Borrower will repay
such Borrowing at the end of the applicable interest period, then, unless such
Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such
Borrowing shall (i) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in US Dollars,
be converted to an ABR Borrowing and (ii) in the 

 

42

 

case of a Borrowing denominated in Euro or Sterling, be continued as a
EURIBOR Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing, as the case may be, with an interest
period of one month’s duration. 
Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of
the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of
Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in US
Dollars may be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Borrowing and (ii) unless
repaid, each LIBOR Borrowing denominated in US Dollars shall be converted to an
ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

 

SECTION 2.08.  Termination, Reduction and Expansion of
Commitments.  (a)  Unless
previously terminated, the Commitments shall automatically terminate on the
Maturity Date.

 

(b)  The Borrower may at
any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Commitments; provided
that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is
an integral multiple of US$1,000,000 and not less than US$5,000,000 and (ii) the
Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect
to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10,
the aggregate Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate Commitments.

 

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

 

(d)  The Borrower may at any
time and from time to time, by written notice to the Administrative Agent
(which shall promptly deliver a copy to the Lenders) executed by the Borrower
and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred
to in this Section being called an “Increasing Lender”), which may
include any Lender, cause Commitments of the Increasing Lenders to be increased
(or cause the Increasing Lenders to extend new Commitments) in an amount for
each Increasing Lender (which shall not be less than US$5,000,000) set forth in
such notice; provided, that (i) no Lender shall have any obligation
to increase its Commitment pursuant to this paragraph, (ii) all new
Commitments and increases in existing Commitments becoming effective under this
paragraph during the term of this Agreement shall not exceed US$50,000,000 in
the aggregate, (iii) each Increasing Lender, if not 

 

43

 

already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the
Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (iv) each
Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall become a party to
this Agreement by completing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a duly
executed accession agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “Accession Agreement”).   New Commitments and increases in Commitments
shall become effective on the date specified in the applicable notices
delivered pursuant to this paragraph. 
Upon the effectiveness of any Accession Agreement to which any
Increasing Lender is a party, (i) such Increasing Lender shall thereafter
be deemed to be a party to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights,
benefits and privileges accorded a Lender hereunder and subject to all
obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) Schedule 2.01 shall be
deemed to have been amended to reflect the Commitment of such Increasing Lender
as provided in such Accession Agreement. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in the
Commitment of any Lender) pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective
unless (i) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents
consistent with those delivered under Section 4.01(b) and (c) (in
each case, solely with respect to the Borrower), giving effect to such increase
and (ii) on the effective date of such increase, the representations and
warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement shall be true and
correct in all material respects and no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to
that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the
Borrower.  On the effective date (the “Increase
Effective Date”) of any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this
paragraph (a “Commitment Increase”), (i) the aggregate principal
amount of the Revolving Borrowings outstanding (the “Initial Borrowings”) immediately prior to the Commitment Increase on the
Increase Effective Date shall be deemed to be paid, (ii) each Increasing
Lender that shall have had a Commitment prior to the Commitment Increase shall
pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds (in the applicable
currencies), an amount equal to the difference between (A) the product of (1) such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the
Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the amount of each Subsequent
Borrowing (as hereinafter defined) and (B) the product of (1) such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the
Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the amount of each Initial
Borrowing, (iii) each Increasing Lender that shall not have had a
Commitment prior to the Commitment Increase shall pay to Administrative Agent
in same day funds (in the applicable currencies) an amount equal to the product
of (1) such Increasing Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after
giving effect to the Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the amount of
each Subsequent Borrowing, (iv) after the Administrative Agent receives
the funds specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the
Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender (in the applicable currencies)
the portion of such funds that is equal to the difference between (A) the
product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated without
giving effect to the Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the amount of
each Initial Borrowing, and (B) the product of (1) such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment
Increase) multiplied by (2) the amount of each Subsequent Borrowing, (v) after
the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase, the Borrower shall be deemed to
have made new Borrowings (the “Subsequent Borrowings”) in amounts (in
the 

 

44

 

currencies of the Initial Borrowings) equal to the amounts of the
Initial Borrowings and of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a
Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.03,
(vi) each Lender shall be deemed to hold its Applicable Percentage of each
Subsequent Borrowing (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment
Increase) and (vii) the Borrower shall pay each Lender any and all accrued
but unpaid interest on its Loans comprising the Initial Borrowings.  The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (i) above
shall be subject to compensation by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.15
if the Increase Effective Date occurs other than on the last day of the
Interest Period relating thereto.

 

SECTION 2.09.  Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.  (a)  The Borrower hereby unconditionally
promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender on the
Maturity Date, and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first
date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a
calendar month and is at least three Business Days after such Swingline Loan is
made; provided that on each date on which a Borrowing (other than a
Swing Line Loan) is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans that
were outstanding on such date.

 

(b)  The records
maintained by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be prima  facie
evidence, absent demonstrable error, of the existence and amounts of the
obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements, interest
and fees due or accrued hereunder; provided that the failure of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such records or any error
therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay
any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

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

 

SECTION 2.10.  Prepayment of Loans.  (a)  The Borrower shall have the right
at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part,
subject to the requirements of this Section.

 

(b)  If the aggregate
Revolving Exposures shall at any time exceed the aggregate Commitments, then (i) on
the last day of any Interest Period for any EURIBOR Borrowing or LIBOR
Borrowing, and (ii) on each other date on which any ABR Revolving
Borrowing or Swingline Loan shall be outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay
Loans (or, if no Loans are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account
with the

 

45

 

Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.05(i)) in an
aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount necessary to
eliminate such excess and (B) the amount of the applicable Revolving
Borrowings or Swingline Loans referred to in clause (i) or (ii), as
applicable.  If the aggregate amount of
the Revolving Exposures at any time shall exceed 105% of the aggregate
Commitments, then the Borrower shall, within three Business Days, prepay one or
more Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash
collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.05(i))
in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

 

(c)  Prior to any optional
or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings under this Section, the Borrower shall
specify the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid in the notice of such
prepayment delivered pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section.

 

(d)  The Borrower shall
notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline
Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery or
facsimile) of any optional prepayment and, to the extent practicable, any
mandatory prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a EURIBOR
Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time,
three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of
prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, one
Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of
prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on
the date of prepayment.  Each such notice
shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal
amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a
mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such
prepayment; provided that if a notice of optional prepayment is given in
connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as
contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be
revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08.  Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing
shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a
Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02.  Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be
applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued
interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

 

SECTION 2.11.  Fees. 
(a)  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable
Rate on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the
period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which
such Commitment terminates.  Accrued
commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and
December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate,
commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof.  All commitment fees shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  For purposes of computing commitment fees, a
Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the
outstanding Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of
such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

 

46

 

(b)  The Borrower agrees
to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a
participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit,
which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate
applicable to LIBOR Revolving Loans on the daily amount of such Lender’s
LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed
LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date
to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment
terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure,
and (ii) to each Issuing Bank for its own account, a fronting fee equal to
0.125% per annum on the face amount of each Letter of Credit issued by it,
which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears, as well as such Issuing Bank’s
standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of
any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.  Participation fees and fronting fees accrued
through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of
each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day,
commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided
that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments
terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments
terminate shall be payable promptly on demand. 
Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph
shall be payable within 10 days after demand. 
All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

 

(c)  The Borrower agrees
to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the
amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent.

 

(d)  All fees payable
hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to
the Administrative Agent (or to an Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to
it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to
the Lenders entitled thereto.  In the
absence of demonstrable error in the calculation of the amount of any fees
hereunder, fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

 

SECTION 2.12.  Interest.  (a)  The Loans comprising each ABR
Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable
Rate.

 

(b)  The Loans comprising
each EURIBOR Borrowing and each LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest at the
Adjusted EURIBO Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, as the case may be, for the
Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

 

(c)  Each Swingline Loan
shall bear interest at the Federal Funds Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

 

(d)  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other
amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when 

 

47

 

due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such
overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2%
per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the
preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other
overdue amount, 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided
in paragraph (a) of this Section.

 

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

 

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

 

SECTION 2.13.  Alternate Rate of Interest.  If prior to the commencement of any Interest
Period for a EURIBOR Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing:

 

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

 

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

 

then the Administrative Agent
shall give notice (which may be telephonic, but shall be promptly confirmed in
writing) thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable
and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that
the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) if such
Borrowing is denominated in US Dollars, any Borrowing Request or Interest
Election Request that 

 

48

 

requests the making of such
Borrowing as or the conversion of such Borrowing to, or continuation of such
Borrowing as, a LIBOR Borrowing shall be ineffective, and such Borrowing shall
be continued as an ABR Borrowing, and (ii) if such Borrowing is
denominated in Euro or Sterling, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
shall determine a rate to be applicable to such Borrowing in lieu of the
Adjusted EURIBO Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate in its reasonable discretion
based on market conditions and in consultation with the Borrower and the
Lenders.

 

SECTION 2.14.  Increased Costs.  (a)  If any Change in Law shall:

 

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

 

(ii) subject any Lender or Issuing Bank to (or any increase in) any Other Connection Taxes, except any such
Taxes imposed on or measured by its net income or profits (however denominated) or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income or profits taxes, with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any
Letter of Credit, or any
participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan made or Letter of Credit
issued, by it; or

 

(iii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or any relevant
interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement
or EURIBOR Loans or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or
participation therein;

 

and the result of any of the
foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining
any EURIBOR Loan or LIBOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any
such Loan), to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of
participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of
maintaining its obligation to participate in or issue any Letter of Credit) or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or
Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then,
from time to time upon the written request of such Lender or Issuing Bank,
which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such request,
the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction
suffered.

 

(b)  If any Lender or
Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements
has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s
or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s
holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of
or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such
Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank, to a level below
that 

 

49

 

which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s
holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such
Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy),
then, from time to time upon request of such Lender or Issuing Bank, which
request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such request, the
Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or
such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered.

 

(c)  Any Lender or Issuing
Bank requesting compensation under this Section shall deliver a
certificate to the Borrower setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may
be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, which
certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.  In determining such additional amounts, each
Lender or Issuing Bank will act in good faith and will use allocation and
attribution methods that it in good faith determines to be reasonable.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 

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

 

SECTION 2.15.  Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any EURIBOR Loan or LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default), (b) the conversion of any EURIBOR Loan or LIBOR Loan other than
on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure
to borrow, convert or continue any EURIBOR Loan or LIBOR Loan on the date
specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of
any EURIBOR Loan or LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18,
then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the
loss, cost and expense attributable to such event upon written request by such
Lender, which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such
request.  Such loss, cost or expense to
any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be
the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued
on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the
Adjusted EURIBO Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to
such Loan (but not including the Applicable Rate applicable thereto), for the
period from 

 

50

 

the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest
Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue,
for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the
amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at
the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the
commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and
period from other banks in the London interbank market.  Together with the written request required by
the previous sentence, any Lender requesting compensation shall deliver a
certificate to the Borrower setting forth any amount or amounts that such
Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, which certificate shall
be conclusive absent demonstrable error. 
The Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to
this Section for any losses, costs or expenses described in this Section suffered
more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of
such losses, costs or expenses and of such Lender’s or intention to claim
compensation therefor.  In determining
such additional amounts, each Lender will act in good faith and will use
allocation and attribution methods determined by it in good faith to be
reasonable.  The Borrower shall pay such
Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof.

 

SECTION 2.16.  Taxes. 
(a)  Payments Free of Taxes. 
Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or
withholding for any Taxes, provided that if any applicable law (as
determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent (as
defined below)) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such
payment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such deduction or
withholding required to be made by the
applicable Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, or, in the case of
any Lender that is treated as a partnership for US federal income tax purposes,
by such Lender for the account of any of its direct or indirect beneficial
owners), the applicable Loan Party,
the Administrative Agent or the applicable direct or indirect Lender (any such
person a “Withholding Agent”) shall make such deductions and timely pay
the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum
payable by the applicable Loan Party shall
be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section)
the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank or its beneficial owner, as the case may be, receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

 

(b)  Payment of Other
Taxes by the Borrower.  Without
limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely
pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.

 

(c)  Indemnification by
the Borrower.  The Borrower shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and Issuing Bank, within 10
days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section) payable by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender or its beneficial owner, as the case may
be, and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with 

 

51

 

respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly
or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on
its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive
absent demonstrable error.

 

(d)  Indemnification of
the Administrative Agent.  Each
Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable by the Administrative Agent,
and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority.  A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any
Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent demonstrable
error.

 

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

 

(f)  Status of Fee Receivers.  Each Fee Receiver hereby represents that it
is a Permitted Investor and agrees to update Internal Revenue Service Form W-9
(or its successor form) or applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8
(or its successor form) upon any change in such Person’s circumstances or if
such form expires or becomes inaccurate or obsolete, and to promptly notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent if such Person becomes legally ineligible
to provide such form.

 

(g) 
Status of Lenders. 
Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
any applicable withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be
made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to
determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, in the case of any withholding tax other than the US
federal withholding tax,  the
completion, execution and submission of such
forms shall not be required if in the Foreign Lender’s judgment such
completion, execution or submission would subject such Foreign Lender to any
material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Foreign Lender.

 

52

 

Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be
requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign
Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter
upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the
following is applicable:

 

(i)             duly completed copies
of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits
of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,

 

(ii)          duly completed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

 

(iii) in the case of a
Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest
under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in
the Form of Exhibit I to the effect that such Foreign
Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of
the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the
meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (C) a “controlled
foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and to the effect that the interest payments
in question are not effectively connected with the United States trade or
business conducted by such Lender (a “US Tax Compliance Certificate”)
and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,

 

(iv) to the extent a Foreign
Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a
partnership or participating Lender granting a typical participation), an
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI,
W-8BEN, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign
Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more
beneficial owners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest
exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a US Tax Compliance Certificate on
behalf of such beneficial owner(s), or

 

(v) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for
claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax
duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed
by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or
deduction required to be made.

 

Each Lender agrees that if any
form or certification it previously delivered by it expires or becomes obsolete
or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly
notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability
to do so.

 

53

 

(h)  Treatment of
Certain Refunds.  If the
Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Lender determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which
it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including additional
amounts paid by any Loan Party pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the
indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Indemnified
Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including
any Taxes) of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, or such Lender, as
the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided
that such indemnifying party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent,
such Issuing Bank or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over pursuant
to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent,
such Issuing Bank or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, such
Issuing Bank or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will an Issuing
Bank or any Lender be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party the payment
of which would place such Issuing Bank or such Lender in a less favorable net
after-Tax position than such Issuing Bank or such Lender would have been in if
the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund
had never been paid.  This paragraph
shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or
any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating
to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

 

(i)  Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section shall
survive termination of the Loan Documents and repayment of any obligations
thereunder.

 

SECTION 2.17.  Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment;
Sharing of Setoffs.  (a)  The
Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under
any other Loan Document prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under
such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly
required, prior to 12:00 noon, Local Time), on the date when due, in
immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any
date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been
received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating
interest thereon.  All such payments
shall be made to such account as may be specified by the Administrative Agent,
except that payments required to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender shall be so made, payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15,
2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and
payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons
specified therein.  The Administrative
Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any
other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt
thereof.  If any payment under any Loan
Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any
payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of
such extension.  All payments hereunder
of principal or interest in respect of any Loan or any LC Disbursement shall,
except as otherwise provided herein, be made in the currency of 

 

54

 

such Loan or LC Disbursement; all other payments hereunder shall be
made in US Dollars.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

55

 

Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation.

 

(e)  If any Lender shall fail to make
any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c),
2.05(d), 2.05(f), 2.06(b), 2.16(d), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), then the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under
such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

 

SECTION 2.18.  Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of
Lenders.  (a)  If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then
such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different
lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and
delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or Affiliates if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable
pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would
not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. 
The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment
and delegation.

 

(b)  If (i) any Lender requests
compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay
any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, (iii) any Lender
defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder or (iv) any Lender has
failed to consent to a proposed amendment or waiver that under Section 9.02
requires the consent of all the Lenders and with respect to which the Required
Lenders shall have granted their consent or (v) any Lender becomes
insolvent and its assets become subject to a receiver, liquidator, trustee,
custodian or other Person having similar powers, then the Borrower may, at its
sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative
Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04),
all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and
delegation); provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (B) such Lender shall have
received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans
and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the
assignee or the Borrower, (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting
from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to
be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a
reduction in such compensation or payments and (D) in the case of any such
assignment resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the assignee shall
have given such consent 

 

56

 

and, as a result of such assignment and any contemporaneous assignments
and consents, the applicable amendment, waiver, discharge or termination shall
be susceptible of being effected.  A
Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise,
the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and
delegation have ceased to apply.  Each
party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may
be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make
such assignment need not be a party thereto.

 

ARTICLE III

 

Representations and Warranties

 

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders
that:

 

SECTION 3.01.  Organization; Powers.  The Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly
organized, validly existing and (to the extent the concept is applicable in
such jurisdiction) in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, has all power and authority and all material Governmental
Approvals required for the ownership and operation of its properties and the conduct
of its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted and is
qualified to do business and (to the extent the concept is applicable in such
jurisdiction) is in good standing, in every jurisdiction where the nature of
the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and where the
failure to so qualify could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

SECTION 3.02.  Authorization; Enforceability.  The Transactions to be effected by each Loan
Party are within such Loan Party’s corporate or other organizational powers and
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational
and, if required, stockholder or other equityholder action.  This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to
which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan
Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower
or such Loan Party, as the case may be, enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general
principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law.

 

SECTION 3.03.  Governmental Approvals; Absence of
Conflicts.  The Transactions (a) do
not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with or any
other action by any Governmental Authority, except (i) such as have been
or on the Effective Date will be obtained or made and are (or will on the
Effective Date be) in full force and effect and (ii) filings necessary to
perfect Liens created under the Loan Documents, (b) will not violate any
applicable law, including any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will
not violate the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the
Borrower, any Loan Party or any Material Subsidiary, (d) will not 

 

57

 

violate or result (alone or with notice or lapse of time, or both) in a
default under any indenture or other agreement or instrument binding upon the
Borrower, any Loan Party or any Material Subsidiary or any of their assets, or
give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment, repurchase or
redemption to be made by the Borrower, any Loan Party or any Material
Subsidiary, or give rise to a right of, or result in, any termination,
cancellation, acceleration or right of renegotiation of any obligation
thereunder, and (e) except for Liens created under the Loan Documents,
will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the
Borrower, any Loan Party or any Material Subsidiary.

 

SECTION 3.04.  Financial Condition; No Material Adverse
Change.  (a)  The Borrower has
heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheets and
statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows (i) as of
and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, audited by and
accompanied by the opinion of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent
registered public accountants, and (ii) as of and for the fiscal quarter
ended  March 31, 2008.  Such financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash
flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and
for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to normal year-end audit
adjustments and the absence of certain footnotes in the case of the statements
referred to in clause (ii) above.

 

(b)  Since December 31, 2007, there
has been no event or condition that has resulted, or could reasonably be
expected to result, in a material adverse change in the business, operations or
financial condition of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

 

SECTION 3.05.  Properties.  (a)  The Borrower and each Subsidiary
has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its property material
to its business, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with
its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such
properties for their intended purposes.

 

(b)  The Borrower and each Subsidiary
owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents
and other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof
by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any
other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

SECTION 3.06.  Litigation and Environmental Matters.  (a)  There are no actions, suits or
proceedings by or before any Governmental Authority or arbitrator pending or,
to the knowledge of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, threatened against or
affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary (i) that could reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse
Effect (except that no representation is made in this clause (i) as to any
such actions, suits or proceedings the existence of which has been specifically
disclosed in the SEC Reports) or (ii) that involve any of the Loan
Documents or the Transactions.

 

58

 

(b)  Except with respect to any matters
that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, none of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (i) has
failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply
with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental
Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has
received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows
of any basis for any Environmental Liability (except that no representation is
made in this paragraph (b) as to any such matters the existence of which
has been specifically disclosed in the SEC Reports).

 

SECTION 3.07.  Compliance with Laws and Agreements.  The Borrower and each Subsidiary is in
compliance with all laws, including all orders of Governmental Authorities,
applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other
instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to
comply, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect (except that no representation is made with
respect to any such failure to comply that has been specifically disclosed in
the SEC Reports).

 

SECTION 3.08.  Investment Company Status.  None of the Borrower or any Subsidiary is an “investment
company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company
Act of 1940.

 

SECTION 3.09.  Taxes. 
The Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed or caused to be filed
all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused
to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) any
Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for
which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its
books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent the failure to do so could
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

SECTION 3.10.  ERISA; Labor Matters.  (a) No ERISA Events have  occurred or are reasonably expected to occur
that could, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.  The present value of all
accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used
for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did
not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such
amounts, exceed by more than US$5,000,000 the fair market value of the assets
of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of
all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date or dates
of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more
than US$10,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded
Plans.

 

(b) As of the Effective Date, there are
no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against the Borrower or any Subsidiary pending
or, to their knowledge, threatened.  The
hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any
other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law relating to such
matters.  All material payments due 

 

59

 

from the Borrower or any
Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against the Borrower or any
Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and
other benefits, have been paid or accrued as liabilities on the books of the
Borrower or such Subsidiary.  The
consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination
or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective
bargaining agreement under which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound.

 

SECTION 3.11.  Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures.  Schedule 3.11 sets forth, as of the
Effective Date, the name and jurisdiction of organization of, and the
percentage of each class of Equity Interests owned by the Borrower or any
Subsidiary in, (a) each Subsidiary and (b) each joint venture in
which the Borrower or any Subsidiary owns any Equity Interests, and identifies
each Subsidiary Loan Party and each Material Subsidiary.

 

SECTION 3.12.  Disclosure.  The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all
agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which the
Borrower or any Subsidiary is subject, and all other matters known to the
Borrower, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
All written or formally presented information, including the
Confidential Information Memorandum, other than any projections and information
of a general economic or general industry nature, furnished by or on behalf of,
the Borrower or any Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent, any of its
Affiliates or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, taken as a whole together with all other written
information so delivered on or prior to any date of determination and all
information contained in regular or periodic reports filed by or on behalf of
the Borrower with the SEC on or prior to such date is (or will when furnished
be) complete and correct in all material respects and does not (or will not
when furnished) contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state
a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not
materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements
are made; provided that, with respect to forecasts or projected
financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was
prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by it to be reasonable
at the time so furnished and, if furnished prior to the Effective Date, as of
the Effective Date (it being understood by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders that any such projections are subject to significant uncertainties and
contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries, that no assurances can be given that such projections will be
realized and that actual results may differ materially from such projections).

 

SECTION 3.13.  Collateral Matters.  The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, upon
execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, will create in favor of
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid and
enforceable security interest in the Collateral (as defined therein) and (i) when
the Collateral (as defined therein) constituting certificated securities (as
defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) is delivered to the Administrative
Agent, together with instruments of transfer duly endorsed in blank, the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement will constitute a fully perfected security
interest in all right, title and interest of the 

 

60

 

pledgors thereunder in such Collateral, prior and superior in right to
any other Person, and (ii) when financing statements in appropriate form
are filed in the applicable filing offices, the security interest created under
the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement will constitute a fully perfected
security interest in all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the
remaining Collateral (as defined therein) to the extent perfection can be
obtained by filing Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, prior and
superior to the rights of any other Person, except for rights secured by Liens
permitted by Section 6.02 that are prior by operation of law or contract.

 

SECTION 3.14.  Federal Reserve Regulations.  None of the Borrower or any Subsidiary is
engaged or will engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in
the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of
Regulation U of the Board of Governors), or extending credit for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying margin stock.  No part
of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, to purchase
or carry any margin stock or to refinance any Indebtedness originally incurred
for such purpose, or for any other purpose that entails a violation (including
on the part of any Lender) of any of the regulations of the Board of Governors,
including Regulations U and X.

Collateral Agreement or a Foreign Pledge Agreement) that is required to be
delivered in order to satisfy the requirements of the Guarantee and Collateral
Requirement, such delivery (and the delivery of the related opinion pursuant to

(a) within
90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower (or, if earlier,

the filing of such form), its audited consolidated balance sheet and related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as
of the end of and for such fiscal year, setting forth in each case in
comparative form the figures for the prior fiscal year, all audited by and

registered public accounting firm of recognized national standing (without a “going
concern” or like qualification or exception and without any qualification or
exception as to the scope of such audit; provided, that if the Borrower
switches from one independent public accounting firm to another and if such
switch has occurred during any fiscal period being audited by such new
accounting firm, the audit report of any such new accounting firm may contain a
qualification or exception as to the scope of such consolidated financial
statements that relates to the period of such fiscal period prior to its
retention) to the effect that such consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations
and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis as of the end of and for such year in accordance with GAAP;

 

(b) within
45 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each
fiscal year of the Borrower (or, if earlier, by the date that the Quarterly

effect to any automatic extension available thereunder for the filing of such
form), its consolidated balance sheet and related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders’ 

 

64

 

equity and cash flows as of
the end of and for such fiscal quarter and the then elapsed portion of the
fiscal year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the
corresponding period or periods of (or, in the case of the balance sheet, as of
the end of) the prior fiscal year, all certified by a Financial Officer of the
Borrower in the corresponding Compliance Certificate as presenting fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash
flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis

(c) concurrently
with any delivery of financial statements under clause (a) or (b) above,
a completed Compliance Certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the
Borrower, (i) certifying as to whether a Default has occurred and, if a
Default has occurred, specifying the details thereof and any action taken or
proposed to be taken with respect thereto, (ii) setting forth reasonably
detailed calculations demonstrating compliance with Sections 6.12, 6.13
and 6.14, (iii) stating whether any change in GAAP or in the application
thereof has occurred since the date of the consolidated balance sheet of the
Borrower most recently theretofore delivered under clause (a) or (b) above
(or, prior to the first such delivery, referred to in Section 3.04) and,
if any such change has occurred, specifying the effect of such change on the
financial statements (including those for the prior periods) accompanying such
certificate, and (iv) certifying that all notices required to be provided
under Sections 5.03 and 5.04 have been provided;

 

(d) concurrently
with any delivery of financial statements under clause (a) above, a
certificate of the accounting firm that audited such financial statements
stating whether it obtained knowledge during the course of its examination of
such financial statements of any Event of Default under Sections 6.12, 6.13 or
6.14 (which certificate may be limited to the extent required by accounting rules or
guidelines);

 

(e) within
90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, a certificate
of a Financial Officer or other executive officer of the Borrower setting forth

shall not prohibit any merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution permitted
under Section 6.03; and provided, further that neither the
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to preserve any right,
license, permit, privilege, franchise, patent, copyright, trademark or trade
name if the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall determine that the preservation

disadvantageous in any material respect to the Borrower, such Subsidiary or the
Lenders.

 

SECTION 5.06.  Payment of Taxes.  The Borrower and each Subsidiary will pay its
Tax liabilities before the same shall become delinquent or in default, except
where (a) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by
appropriate 

 

67

 

proceedings, (b) the Borrower or such Subsidiary has set aside on
its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP, (c) such
contest effectively suspends collection of the contested obligation and the
enforcement of any Lien securing such obligation and (d) the failure to
make payment pending such contest could not reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect.

 

SECTION 5.07.  Maintenance of Properties.  The Borrower and each Subsidiary will keep
and maintain all property material to the conduct of its business in good
working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

exist), (a) to visit and inspect its properties, (b) to examine and
make extracts from its books and records and (c) to discuss its

mutually convenient times.

 

SECTION 5.10.  Compliance with Laws.  The Borrower and each other Subsidiary will
comply with all laws, including all orders of any Governmental Authority,
applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect.

 

SECTION 5.11.  Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit.  The proceeds of the Revolving Loans and
Swingline Loans and the Letters of Credit will be used only for working capital
and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries,

of business that are reasonably related or complementary thereto.

68

 

instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing

required under any applicable law, or that the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request, to cause the Guarantee and Collateral Requirement to be and
remain satisfied at all times or otherwise to effectuate the provisions of the
Loan Documents, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.  The Borrower will provide to the
Administrative Agent, from time to time upon request, evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of
the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents.

 

SECTION 5.13.  Certain Post-Closing Collateral
Obligations.  As promptly as
practicable, and in any event within 30 days, after the Effective Date,  the Borrower and each other Loan Party will
deliver to the Administrative Agent any pledge of Equity Interests in any

in each case except to the extent otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to its authority as set forth in the definition of the term “Guarantee
and Collateral Requirement”.

hereby waived by the Borrower.

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

The Administrative Agent

 

Each of the Lenders and the
Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative
Agent in the heading of this Agreement to serve as administrative agent,
collateral agent and trustee under the Loan Documents, and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.  The provisions of this Article are
solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing
Banks, and none of the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall have any rights
as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.

 

The Person serving as the
Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its
capacity as a Lender or Issuing Bank as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial
advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind
of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as
if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty
to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

The Administrative Agent shall
not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan
Documents.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be
subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall
not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any
discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to
exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in 

 

82

 

the Loan
Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required
to take any action that, in its opinion, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except
as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall
not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to
disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other
Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the
Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity.  The Administrative Agent shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at
the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in
good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02)
or in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or wilful
misconduct.  The Administrative Agent
shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written
notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender
or an Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for
or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty
or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or
in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan
Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other
agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other
than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not have any
liability arising from any confirmation of the Revolving Exposure or the
component amounts thereof.

 

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

 

The Administrative Agent may
perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder
or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their
duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related
Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of
this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related 

 

83

 

Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their
respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

 

Subject to the appointment and
acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph,
the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the
Issuing Banks and the Borrower.  Upon
receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the
right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor.  If no successor shall have been so appointed
by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within
30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which
shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any
such bank.  Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents.  The fees
payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same
as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and
such successor.  After the Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the
provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect
for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

 

Each Lender and each Issuing
Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related
Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as
it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter
into this Agreement.  Each Lender and
each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender, or any
of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make
its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

Each Lender, by delivering its
signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans on the Effective
Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption
pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have
acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and
each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or
satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, neither the Arrangers nor any Person named on the cover page of
this Agreement as a Syndication Agent or a 

 

84

 

Documentation
Agent shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender), but all
such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.

specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of a Loan

Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any
Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into

thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided
that (i) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be
amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency
so long as, in each case, such amendment does not adversely affect the rights
of any Lender or any Issuing Bank; and (ii) no such agreement shall (A) increase
the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (B) reduce

without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (D) change Section 2.17(b) or
2.17(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments
required thereby without the written consent of each Lender, (E) change
any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the
definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan
Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive,
amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any
consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (F) release
all or substantially all the Subsidiary Loan Parties from their Guarantees
under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (except as expressly provided in Section 9.14),
or limit their liability in respect of such Guarantees, without the written
consent of each Lender, or (G) release all or substantially all the
Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents without the written consent
of each Lender; provided  further that no such agreement shall
amend, modify, extend or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be.

 

SECTION 9.03.  Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.  (a)  
The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single law firm
acting as counsel for the Administrative Agent and, in connection with pledges
of Equity Interests in Foreign Subsidiaries, such local counsel as the
Administrative Agent may deem advisable, in connection with the structuring,
arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the
preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Commitment Letter,
the Fee Letters, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank
in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter
of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank
or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any outside
counsel for any of the foregoing, in connection with the enforcement or
protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its
rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of
Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred
during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or
Letters of Credit.

 

(b)  The Borrower shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender,
each Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each
such Person being called an “Indemnitee”), against, and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties,
liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for 

 

87

 

any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted
against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
structuring, arrangement and the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the
Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or
any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the
performance by the parties to the Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents of their obligations thereunder or the
consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated
thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds
therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for
payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with
such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any
actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property
currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or
any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory and whether initiated against or by the
Borrower or any other party to the Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or
any third party (and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto); provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or wilful
misconduct of such Indemnitee or from a material breach by such Indemnitee of
its agreements under the Loan Documents. 
This paragraph shall not require indemnification for Taxes other than
any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from non-Tax claims.

 

(c)  To the extent the
Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it under paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent
thereof), any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Related Party of any of
the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
(or any such sub-agent), any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Related
Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the
time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought)
of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may
be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or such
sub-agent), any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such,
or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), any Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender in such capacity.  For purposes
hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of
the sum of the total Revolving Exposures and unused Commitments at the time (or
most recently outstanding and in effect).

 

(d)  To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert or permit any of its
Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and each hereby waives, any claim
against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from the use by others
of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications,
electronic or other 

 

88

 

information transmission systems (including
the Internet), or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby,
the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds
thereof.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(B) the Administrative Agent; and

 

(C) in the case of any assignment of all or a portion of a
Commitment or any Lender’s obligations in respect of its LC Exposure, the
applicable Issuing Bank.

 

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

 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate
of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount
of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or
Loans of the assigning 

 

89

 

Lender subject
to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent) shall not be less than US$5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided that no such consent
of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a
party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering
all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03).

 

(iv) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at one of its offices
a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and records of the
names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount
of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms
hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and
the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant
to the terms 

 

90

 

hereof as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to
the contrary.  The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed
Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Section and
any written consent to such assignment required by this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
information contained therein in the Register. 
No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless
it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.  Each assignee, by its execution and delivery
of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the
assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent that such assignee is an Eligible
Assignee.

 

(c)  Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the
consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or
any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any Person that would be a
Fee Receiver that is not a Permitted Investor) (each, a “Participant”)
in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing
to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
and Issuing Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender
in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
and (iv) any Person that would be a Fee Receiver may not be a Participant
unless such Person is a Permitted Investor.  For
the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity
under Section 2.16(d) with respect to any payments made by such
Lender to its Participant(s).  Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any  provision of this Agreement; provided
that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not,
without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or
waiver referred to in the first proviso in Section 9.02(b) that
affects such Participant.  Subject to
paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14 or 2.16  (subject to the requirements and limitations
therein)  to the same extent as if it were
a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section. 
To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled
to the benefits of Section 9.08  as though it
were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.17(b) and
(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation
shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a
register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the
principal amounts (and 

 

91

 

stated interest) of each participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant
Register”).  The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and such
Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant
Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding
any notice to the contrary.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive
any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender
would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to
such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is
made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. 
A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall
not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is
notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(g) as
though it were a Lender.

 

(d)  Any Lender may at any
time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge
or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall
not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided
that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or
assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

SECTION 9.05.  Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been
relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of the Loans and issuance of the
Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party
or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing
Bank, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates may have had notice or
knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time
any Loan Document was executed and delivered or any credit was extended
hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal
of or any accrued interest on any Loan, any LC Disbursement or any fee or other
amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of
Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or been
terminated.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the
event that, in connection with the replacement in full of the credit facilities
provided for herein, an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Administrative
Agent a written consent to the release of the Lenders from their obligations
hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank
(whether as a result of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of such
Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with
such Issuing Bank, or being supported by a letter of credit that names such
Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after
such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit”
outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
and the Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of
Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under 

 

92

 

Section 2.05(d) or (f).  The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15,
2.16, 2.17(e) and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in
full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination
of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this
Agreement or any provision hereof.

 

SECTION 9.06.  Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each
of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract.  This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all
previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the
subject matter hereof (but do not supersede any provisions of the Commitment
Letter, the Fee Letters or any separate letter agreements with respect to fees
payable to the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank that do not by the terms
of such documents terminate upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all of
which provisions shall remain in full force and effect).  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement.

 

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

 

SECTION 9.08.  Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, and each Affiliate of any
of the foregoing, is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in
whatever currency) or other amounts at any time held and other obligations (in
whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, or by
such an Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against
any of and all the obligations then due of the Borrower now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made
any demand under this Agreement.  The
rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank, and each Affiliate of any of the
foregoing, under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such
Affiliate may have.

 

93

 

SECTION 9.09.  Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to
Service of Process.  (a)  This Agreement
shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of
New York.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

94

 

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

 

SECTION 9.12.  Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the Issuing Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information
(as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its
Related Parties, including accountants, legal counsel and other agents and
advisors, it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made
will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed
to keep such Information confidential, (b) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable law or by any
subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this
Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing
confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section, to
(i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any
actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap or
derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary and its
obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the
extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Affiliate of any of
the foregoing on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Borrower.  For purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or
any Subsidiary or their businesses, other than any such information that is
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided
that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date
hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential.  Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall
be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 

SECTION 9.13.  Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together
with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such
Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for,
charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in
accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such
Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be
limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges
that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a
result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the
interest and Charges payable to

 

95

 

such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of
repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

 

SECTION 9.14.  Release of Liens and Guarantees.  A Subsidiary Loan Party shall automatically
be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents upon the consummation
of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such
Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that, if so
required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall have consented to such
transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided
otherwise.  Upon any sale or other
transfer by any Loan Party (other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any
of their Related Parties) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under
this Agreement, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release
of the security interest created under any Security Document in any Collateral
pursuant to Section 9.02, the security interests in such Collateral
created by the Security Documents shall be automatically released.  In connection with any termination or release
pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to
any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan
Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.  Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant
to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the
Administrative Agent.

 

SECTION 9.15.  USA PATRIOT Act Notice.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for
itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant
to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act it is required to obtain, verify and
record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the
name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such
Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in
accordance with such Act.

 

SECTION 9.16.  No Fiduciary Relationship.  The Borrower, on behalf of itself and its
subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions
contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the
Borrower, the Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will
have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise,
any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or
their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection
with any such transactions or communications.

 

SECTION 9.17.  Non-Public Information.  (a)  Each Lender acknowledges that all
information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement by the Borrower on its
behalf and relating to the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or their businesses may
include material non-public information concerning  the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and their
securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding
the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such
material non-public information in accordance with such procedures and
applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws.

 

96

 

All such information,
including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by Holdings, the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of
administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may
contain material non-public information concerning the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries and their securities. 
Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire
a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public
information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law,
including Federal, state and foreign securities laws.

 

97

to the terms and conditions set forth in Article II of this
Amendment, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

Section 2.1.1                             Amendments to Section 1.1.

 

(a)                                  Section 1.1

EBITDA for the six (6) month period ending September 30, 2008
