ARTICLE 2
THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS
     2.01 Loans.
          (a) Revolving Loans: Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make loans to the Borrower (each such loan, a "Revolving Loan") in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (i) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments or the Revolving Borrowing Availability at such time, and (ii) the Revolving Exposure of each Revolving Lender shall not exceed such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment. Within the limits of each Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a). The

- 40 -


 
Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein; provided, however, that no Revolving Loan Borrowings shall be made on the Closing Date.
          (b) Term Loan: Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Loan Lender severally agrees to fund a term loan to the Borrower (the "Term Loan") on the Closing Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Term Loan Lender's Term Loan Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to the Borrowing under the Term Loan, the outstanding amount of the Term Loan shall not exceed the total Term Loan Commitments. The Term Loan may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. Any portion of the Term Loan that is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
     2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.
          (a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower's irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be delivered by telephone request (or such other means as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) one (1) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (or any conversation to Base Rate Loans). Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.
          (b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower as required by Section 2.02(a) with respect to any continuation of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion of such Eurodollar

- 41 -


 
Borrowing to Base Rate Loans as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent's Office not later than 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably satisfactory to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, to the Borrower as provided above.
          (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans.
          (d) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
          (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than six (6) Interest Periods in effect with respect to outstanding Loans.
          (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.02 shall not apply to Swingline Loans except as otherwise required by Section 2.04.
     2.03 Letters of Credit.
          (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.
          (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit in Dollars for the account of any Loan Party (other than Holdings) and guaranteed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to a guaranty or other agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (each a "L/C Guaranty"); provided, however, that if the L/C Issuer is a Revolving Lender, then such Letters of Credit shall not be guaranteed by the Administrative Agent but rather each Revolving Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, purchase (or be deemed to have purchased) risk participations in all such Letters of Credit issued with the written consent

- 42 -


 
of the Administrative Agent, as more specifically described in Section 2.03(c) hereof, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it and any related L/C Guaranty, each in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders with a Revolving Commitment severally agree to participate in such Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or any Guarantor (other than Holdings) and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments, (y) the Revolving Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender's Revolving Commitment, or (z) the total L/C Exposures shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso in the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower's ability to obtain Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or any Guarantor (other than Holdings) shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
          (ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if:
          (A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless the Required Lenders (excluding any Term Loan from the definition thereof) have approved such expiry date;
          (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date;
          (iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
          (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

- 43 -


 
          (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any Laws or one or more policies of the WC Issuer;
          (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than $50,000;
          (D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in currency other than Dollars; or
          (E) a default of any Lender's obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c) exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer's risk with respect to such Lender.
          (iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.
          (v) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
          (vi) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue or amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, on or prior to the Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of such Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article 4 shall not then be satisfied.
          (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit.
          (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or Guarantor (other than Holdings). Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other

- 44 -


 
matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.
          (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions in Article 4 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or any Guarantor (other than Holdings) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer's usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a participation interest in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share times the face amount of such Letter of Credit.
          (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an "Auto-Extension Letter of Credit"); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the "Non-Extension Notice Date") in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised (as extended) form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Loan Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in

- 45 -


 
Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.
          (iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
          (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
          (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (or, if such payment by the L/C Issuer is made after 1:00 p.m., not later than 9:00 a.m. the next succeeding Business Day) (each such date, an "Honor Date"), the Loan Parties shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing or shall reimburse the Administrative Agent in respect of any payment under the L/C Guaranty issued in respect of such Letter of Credit. If the Loan Parties fail to so reimburse the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed Letter of Credit drawing or L/C Guaranty payment (each, an "Unreimbursed Amount"), and the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the total Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). If the Unreimbursed Amount is paid on the Honor Date with a Revolving Loan or an L/C Borrowing as provided in Section 2.03(c)(iii), no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred. Any notice delivered by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be delivered by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
          (ii) Each Revolving Lender (including any Lender acting as the L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent's Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount and the Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.
          (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in

- 46 -


 
Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and, at the election of the Required Lenders, shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
          (iv) Until a Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit or to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any payment of an L/C Guaranty, interest in respect of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable.
          (v) Each Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit or to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any payment under an L/C Guaranty, as applicable,, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, any Loan Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice and the conditions of Section 4.02(b)). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
          (vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
          (d) Repayment of Participations.

- 47 -


 
          (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit or the Administrative Agent has made any payment under an L/C Guaranty and has received from any Lender such Lender's L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for its own account or for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender's L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
          (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 12.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
          (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Loan Parties to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit or to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any payment under an L/C Guaranty and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
          (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
          (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that any Loan Party or Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the Transactions or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
          (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
          (iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit

- 48 -


 
to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or
          (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary.
     The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it; and, if there is any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower's instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is delivered as aforesaid.
          (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that (x) in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer, or (y) in issuing any L/C Guaranty, the Administrative Agent, shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Loan Parties hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to the use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude any Loan Party's pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, punitive or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer's bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer's willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable decision. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

          (g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit or L/C Guaranty for any reason remains outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn and not backstopped in an amount and in a manner satisfactory to the L/C Issuer, the Loan Parties shall immediately (but subject to the last sentence of this subsection (g)) Cash Collateralize 105% of the total L/C Exposures as of such date. Section 2.05 and 9.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver cash collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.05 and Section 9.02(c), "Cash Collateralize" means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent (or with and to a bank designated by the Administrative Agent to be held in a deposit account subject to a control agreement), for the benefit of the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as collateral for the total L/C Exposures, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of the term Cash Collateralize have corresponding meanings. The Loan Parties hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein pledged, deposited with or delivered to the Administrative Agent and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts with a bank designated by the Administrative Agent subject to a control agreements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer.
          (h) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
          (i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Loan Parties shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while an Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.
          (j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Loan Parties shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a one time fronting fee for each Letter of Credit in the amount equal to 0.125% of the face amount of each such Letter of Credit payable at the times agreed to by the Borrower and the L/C Issuer. In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such

- 50 -


 
customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
          (k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.
          (l) Letters of Credit Issued for Guarantors. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Guarantor (other than Holdings), the Loan Parties shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit or any L/C Guaranty related to such Letter of Credit, as the case may be. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit or any L/C Guaranty for the account of any such Guarantor inures to the benefit of the Loan Parties and that the Loan Parties' business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Guarantors.
     2.04 Swingline Loans.
          (a) Commitment to Make Swingline Loans. The Swingline Lender hereby agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, for the purposes identified in Section 6.11, notwithstanding the fact that the aggregate amount of the outstanding Swingline Loans, when added to the Swingline Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans and L/C Exposures, from time to time may exceed the amount of such Lender's Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Borrowing of a Swingline Loan, (i) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments, (ii) the Revolving Exposure of any Lender (other than Swingline Lender) shall not exceed such Lender's Revolving Commitment, or (z) the total Swingline Exposure shall not exceed the Swingline Loan Sublimit. Each Swingline Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. No Swingline Loan shall be used for the purpose of funding the payment of the principal of any other Swingline Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to purchase, from the Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying such Lender's Pro Rata Share by the amount of such Swingline Loan. Amounts borrowed by the Borrower under the Swingline Commitment may be prepaid and reborrowed from time to time during the Availability Period. The Swingline Lender's commitment to make Swingline Loans as provided in this Section 2.04(a) shall expire upon the expiration of the Availability Period, and all Swingline Loans shall be paid in full no later than the earlier of the date of the next Borrowing of Revolving Loans and on the Maturity Date.
          (b) Funding Procedures for Swingline Loans. The Borrower shall give to the Swingline Lender a Swingline Loan Notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (or telephonic notice to be confirmed promptly with a Swingline Loan Notice) of a proposed Borrowing consisting of a Swingline Loan, specifying the amount of the requested Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing; provided that, subject to the satisfaction of the other conditions of this Section 2.04, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Swingline Lender to make Swingline Loans (without receipt of a

- 51 -


 
Swingline Loan Notice) pursuant to the terms of any automated cash management arrangement agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Swingline Lender. Each request for a Swingline Loan shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Borrower that (i) the requested Swingline Loan may be made in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, this Agreement, and (ii) the conditions specified in Section 4.02 have been satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable Borrowing. Subject to the foregoing, and not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender shall make the proceeds of the requested Swingline Loan available to the Borrower.
          (c) Repayment of Swingline Loans With Revolving Loans. Regardless of whether the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 have been or are capable of being satisfied and without limiting the requirements to repay the Swingline Loans as set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.04(a) on any Business Day the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that some part or all of the outstanding Swingline Loans are to be repaid on the next succeeding Business Day with a Borrowing of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01 (but not subject to the minimum borrowing requirements of Section 2.02) in the same manner and with the same force and effect as if the Borrower had submitted a Loan Notice therefor pursuant to Section 2.02. Subject to and in accordance with Sections 2.01 and 2.02, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, at the Administrative Agent's Office, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the applicable funding date. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to the Swingline Lender on such funding date by causing an amount of immediately available funds equal to the proceeds of all such Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent to be credited to an account of the Swingline Lender, or shall make such proceeds available to the Swingline Lender in such other manner as shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender.
          (d) Participations in Swingline Loans. If for any reason a requested Borrowing of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c) is not or cannot be effected, the Revolving Lenders will, as of the date such proposed Borrowing otherwise would have occurred but adjusted for any payments received in respect of such Swingline Loan(s) by or for the account of the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase, immediately fund their respective participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as necessary to cause such Lenders to share in such Swingline Loan(s) proportionately in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Whenever, at any time after any Lender has funded its purchase of a participating interest in a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its proportionate share of such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender's participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event any such payment received by the Swingline Lender is subsequently set aside or is required to be refunded, returned or repaid, such Lender will repay to the Swingline Lender its proportionate share thereof.
          (e) Failure to Pay by Lenders. If any Lender shall fail to perform its obligation to make a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.04(c) or to fund its purchase of a participation in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(d), the amount in default shall bear

- 52 -


 
interest for each day from the day such amount is payable until fully paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect, and such obligation may be satisfied by application by the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Swingline Lender) of any payment that such Lender otherwise is entitled to receive under this Agreement. Pending repayment, each such advance shall be secured by such Lender's participation interest, if any, in the Swingline Loans and any security therefor, and the Swingline Lender shall be subrogated to such Lender's rights hereunder in respect thereof.
          (f) Lenders' Obligations Absolute. The obligation of each Lender to make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c) and to purchase participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(d) shall be unconditional and irrevocable, shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances and shall be binding in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument, document or agreement relating to the transactions that are the subject thereof; (ii) the existence of any claim, defense, set-off or other right that the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Lender may have at any time against the any Agent-Related Person, the Swingline Lender, any other Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any related transactions; (iii) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Agreement; (v) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or failure of any condition in Article 4 to have been satisfied upon funding the Swingline Loan or thereafter; (vi) any adverse change in the condition (financial or other) of the Borrower or any Guarantor; or (vii) any other reason.
     2.05 Prepayments.
          (a) Voluntary Prepayments of Loans.
          (i) Revolving Loans and Term Loan. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.05(a), the Borrower may, upon notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Loans and/or the Term Loan in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any such prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding); (iii) any such prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is delivered by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein;

- 53 -


 
provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan and/or Base Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may not voluntarily prepay any Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans unless such Loans are prepaid at the end of the applicable Interest Period or unless the Borrower pays all breakage costs associated with such prepayment as provided in Section 3.05 hereof.
          (ii) Application of Voluntary Prepayments of Revolving Loans and Term Loan. At the Borrower's option, each voluntary prepayment shall be applied to Revolving Loans and/or the Term Loan. Any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled principal payments of the Term Loan. Prepayments of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall not reduce the total Revolving Commitments. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
          (iii) Prepayment of Swingline Loans. The Borrower may prepay Swingline Loans, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time. The Borrower shall, prior to or contemporaneously with making any such prepayment, give the Swingline Lender such notice of prepayment (written notice or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to the Swingline Lender) as is sufficient to enable the Swingline Lender to apply such prepayment properly to the repayment of Swingline Loans.
          (b) Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.
          (i) Total Revolving Exposure. If for any reason the total Revolving Exposures at any time exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments then in effect or the Revolving Borrowing Availability at such time, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposures in an aggregate amount equal to such excess (each such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below).
          (ii) Dispositions and Involuntary Dispositions. The Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof, prepay the Loans as hereinafter provided in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition or Involuntary Disposition (each such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below) in excess of $1,000,000 in any Fiscal Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of the receipt or application of such Net Cash Proceeds no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent a certificate, executed by the Borrower's chief financial officer, that it intends within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt thereof to use all of such Net Cash Proceeds either to purchase assets used in the ordinary course of business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, to make Capital Expenditures or to repair or restore assets, in each case to the extent permitted hereunder, the Borrower may use such Net Cash Proceeds in

- 54 -


 
the manner set forth in such certificate; provided, however, that, (A) such Net Cash Proceeds shall be held in a bank account subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement until such time as such Net Cash Proceeds are used to purchase such assets or to make such Capital Expenditures or applied to the Obligations upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, as the case may be, and (B) any such Net Cash Proceeds not so used within one hundred eighty day-period shall, on the first Business Day immediately following such period, be applied as a prepayment in accordance with clause (vi) below and (C) any assets so acquired shall be subject to the security interests under the Collateral Documents in the same priority as the assets subject to such Disposition or Involuntary Disposition.
          (iii) Equity Issuances. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Equity Issuance, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans as hereinafter provided in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of such Net Cash Proceeds (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below).
          (iv) Debt Issuances. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Debt Issuance (other than proceeds of Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under this Agreement), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of all such Net Cash Proceeds or other amounts received (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below).
          (v) Excess Cash Flow. On the date on which the annual financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) for each Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2008), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75.00%) of Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year minus any payments made pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) made during such Fiscal Year (including voluntary payments of Revolving Loans but only to the extent accompanied by permanent reductions of the Revolving Commitments). Simultaneously with the delivery by the Loan Parties of the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) for each Fiscal Year, the Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a calculation (in such detail as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require) of the Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year; provided such percentage of Excess Cash Flow shall be reduced to fifty percent (50.00%) for each Fiscal Year for which the Borrower delivers a Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 6.02(b) together with the annual financial statements under Section 6.01(a) demonstrating that the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio for such Fiscal Year is less than 2.50 to 1.00. Each prepayment with respect to Excess Cash Flow shall be accompanied by a certificate executed by the Borrower's chief financial officer certifying the manner in which Excess Cash Flow and the resulting prepayment were calculated, which certificate shall be in form, substance and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below.

- 55 -


 
          (vi) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied as follows:
          (A) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i), (x) to the Swingline Loans, to the full extent thereof, (y) after all Swingline Loans have been repaid, to the Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof and, after all Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans have been repaid, to Cash Collateralize any L/C Exposures; and
          (B) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Sections 2.05(b)(ii) through (v), to the Term Loan (applied pro rata to the remaining principal amortization payments thereof).
      Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. Prepayments of the Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall not reduce the total Revolving Commitments. All prepayments under this Section 2.05(b) shall be subject to Section 3.05, but otherwise without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by a payment of all interest accrued on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.
     2.06 Termination or Reduction of Total Revolving Commitments.
          (a) The Borrower may, upon prior written notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, terminate the total Revolving Commitments or from time to time permanently reduce in part the total Revolving Commitments; provided, however, that (a) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to the date of termination or reduction, (b) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and (c) after giving effect to any reduction of the Revolving Commitments, the total Revolving Commitments shall not be less than (i) the total Revolving Exposures or (ii) the sum of the Letter of Credit Sublimit and the Swingline Loan Sublimit. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the total Revolving Commitments. Any reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Commitment of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share. All fees accrued with respect thereto until the effective date of any termination of the total Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
     2.07 Repayment of Loans.
          (a) Revolving Loans. On the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding on such date.
          (b) Term Loan. The Borrower shall pay the principal amount of the Term Loan in consecutive quarterly installments in the aggregate amounts set forth below (as such

- 57 -


 
          (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. If a Loan is repaid on the same day that it is made, one (1) day's interest shall be charged.
     2.09 Fees.
          (a) Unused Fee. The Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, an unused fee equal to the product of (i) one half of one percent (0.5%) per annum times (ii) the actual daily amount by which the total Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of (y) the total outstanding amount of Revolving Loans (including any outstanding Swingline Loans) and (z) the total L/C Exposures. The unused fee shall accrue daily at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article 4 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each of March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date.
          (b) Other Fees.
          (i) The Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Co-Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter and the Administrative Agent's Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall be non-refundable for any reason whatsoever.
          (ii) The Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent, the Co-Lead Arrangers, the Agents and/or CIT-LSC such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon between any of the Loan Parties and/or the Administrative Agent, the Co-Lead Arrangers, the Agents and CIT-LSC in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
     2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year), except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day.

          (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent

- 58 -


 
and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note, which shall evidence such Lender's Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each such promissory note shall (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 (a "Revolving Note"), (ii), in the case of a Term Loan, be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 (a "Term Note"), and (iii) in the case of Swingline Loans, be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3 (the "Swingline Note"). Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto, but any failure to do so shall not limit or otherwise affect the Borrower's Obligations hereunder.
          (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
     2.12 Payments Generally.
          (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be absolute and unconditional and shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment, setoff or rescission. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent's Office (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, delivered directly to the Swingline Lender) in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 p.m. New York time on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender's Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 p.m. New York time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
          (b) Subject to the definition of "Interest Period", if any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
          (c) Subject to Section 9.04, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings,

- 59 -


 
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward applicable interest and fees ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, (ii) second toward repayment of the applicable principal (including L/C Borrowings) then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
          (d) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:
          (i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and
          (ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the "Compensation Period") at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
          (iii) In the event that any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof, and the Borrower does not repay to the Administrative Agent such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing within three (3) Business Days after such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to recover such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing directly from such Lender, together with interest thereon from the date of the Borrowing at the rate per annum applicable to such Borrowing. In addition, until the Administrative Agent recovers such

- 60 -


 
amount, (x) such Lender shall not be entitled to receive any payments under Sections 2.05, 2.07 or 2.08 hereof, and (y) for purposes of voting on or consenting to other matters with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, such Lender's Commitment shall be deemed to be zero and such Lender shall not be considered to be a Lender.
     A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
          (e) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article 4 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
          (f) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.
          (g) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
     2.13 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or L/C Exposures or Swingline Exposures held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata Share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them, and/or such subparticipations in L/C Exposures and Swingline Exposures held by them, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 12.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 12.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and

- 61 -


 
binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.
     2.14 Handling of Proceeds of Collateral; Cash Dominion.
          (a) Collection of Accounts and Other Proceeds. The Loan Parties agree to direct all of their account debtors to send payments on all Accounts directly to one or more Controlled Bank Accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should any Loan Party ever receive any payment on an Account or other proceeds of the sale of Collateral, including checks, cash, receipts from credit card sales and receipts, notes or other instruments or property with respect to any Collateral, such Loan Party agrees to hold such proceeds separate from such Loan Party's other property and funds, and to deposit such proceeds directly into a Controlled Bank Account within three (3) Business Days.
          (b) Transfer of Funds from Controlled Bank Accounts. During a Cash Control Period and until the termination of the Cash Control Period (at which time the Administrative Agent shall no longer have the right to direct the disposition of the funds on deposit in the Controlled Bank Accounts and such rights shall be re-conveyed to the Loan Parties), the Administrative Agent shall have the right, at the Administrative Agent's election in its sole discretion, to require that funds remaining on deposit in the Controlled Bank Accounts be transferred to the Administrative Agent's Bank Account on each Business Day, and the Loan Parties agree to take all actions required by the Administrative Agent or by any bank at which the Controlled Bank Accounts are maintained in order to effectuate the transfer of funds in this manner. No checks, drafts or other instruments received by the Administrative Agent shall constitute final payment to the Administrative Agent unless and until such instruments have actually been collected.
          (c) New Controlled Bank Accounts. Each Loan Party agrees not to open any new bank account into which proceeds of Collateral are to be delivered or deposited unless concurrently with the opening of such bank account, such Loan Party enters into a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to such bank account. Upon compliance with the terms set forth above, such bank account shall constitute a Controlled Bank Account for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14, the Loan Parties may maintain one or more accounts constituting Excluded Accounts.
          (d) Credit Card Receivables. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries that receives Collections through credit card charges to, establish and maintain Credit Card Agreements with the Administrative Agent and each Credit Card Processor. Each such Credit Card Agreement shall provide, among other things, that each such Credit Card Processor shall, on a daily basis (on each Business Day), transfer all proceeds of credit card charges for sales by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable, received by it (or other amounts payable by such Credit Card Processor) (net of any amounts contractually offset by such Credit Card Processor) into the Controlled Bank Accounts designated on Schedule 2.14(d)

- 62 -


 
as the "credit card depository account" (the "Credit Card Depository Account"). No Loan Party nor any Subsidiary of any Loan Party may change any direction or designation set forth in the Credit Card Agreements regarding payment of charges without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, in the event a Credit Card Agreement is not in effect with respect to any credit card charge processing arrangement of any Loan Party or Subsidiary of a Loan Party, such Loan Party or Subsidiary (as applicable) shall instruct such credit card charge processor to remit all proceeds of credit card charges or sales processed by such processor to the applicable Credit Card Depository Accounts and shall not rescind or alter such instruction without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
          (e) Collective Borrowing Arrangement. The Loan Parties have informed the Administrative Agent that all of the Loan Parties presently engage in an integrated operation that requires financing on an integrated basis, and each Loan Parties expects to benefit from the continued successful performance of such integrated operations. Therefore, in order to best utilize the borrowing powers of the Loan Parties in the most effective and cost efficient manner and to avoid adverse effects on the operating efficiencies of each Loan Party and the existing back office practices of the Loan Parties, each Loan Party has requested that all Revolving Loans, the Term Loan and the Swingline Loans be disbursed, and Letters of Credit by issued, solely upon the request of the Borrower and to bank accounts managed solely by the Borrower, it being the intent and desire of the Loan Parties that the Borrower manage for the benefit of each Loan Party the expenditure and usage of such funds.
          (f) Accounts. In no event shall prior recourse to any Account or other security granted to or by any Loan Party be a prerequisite to the Administrative Agent's or the Lenders' rights to demand payment of any of the Obligations. In addition, each Loan Party agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to perform in any respect any Loan Party's contracts or obligations relating to the Accounts.
     2.15 Statement of Account. Upon written request by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent agrees to prepare and make available to the Borrower (by mail, facsimile, e-mail or other means, as mutually agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders), a statement showing the accounting for the charges, loans, advances and other transactions occurring among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower during that month. Absent manifest error, each statement shall be deemed correct and binding upon the Borrower and the Lenders, and shall constitute an account stated between the Borrower on one hand and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent on the other hand, as the case may be.
ARTICLE 3
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
     3.01 Taxes.
          (a) Any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of

- 63 -


 
and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), in each of the foregoing cases by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or maintains its Lending Office or any other jurisdiction as a result of a connection with such jurisdiction other than as a result of entering into this Agreement (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If any Loan Party shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions for Taxes (including deductions for Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), each of the Administrative Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions, (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment, such Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or if no receipt is available, other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
          (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").
          (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent and such Lender and (ii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this subsection (c) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor. Each Lender demanding payment under this subsection (c) will deliver a certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), calculating the amount to be paid by the Borrower in reasonable detail.
          (d) If any Loan Party is required to pay any amount to any Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.01, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to eliminate any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue, if such change in the reasonable judgment of such Lender is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

- 64 -


 
          (e) Each Lender, if any, that is not organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof (each, a "Foreign Lender") shall, (i) on or prior to the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof, or, in the case of an assignee Lender, on or prior to the date it becomes a Lender, execute and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, two or more (as the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) original United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8IMY (with all required attachments), Forms W-8ECI or Forms W-8BEN (or successor forms) establishing the Lender's exemption from United States federal withholding tax, or, solely if such Lender is claiming exemption from United States withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of "portfolio interest," United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN and a certificate executed by a duly authorized officer of such Lender representing that such 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 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed, establishing that payments to such Lender are exempt from withholding or deduction of United States federal withholding taxes; and (ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or documents on or before the date that any such form or document expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent such form or document previously delivered by it to the Borrower.
          (f) Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Lender), shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent (in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to U.S. withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code, to establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Lender.
          (g) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Foreign Lender under this Section 3.01 (A) with respect to any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption such Lender transmits with an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to Section 3.01(f) or (B) if such Lender shall have failed to provide the proper forms as required by the foregoing provisions of Section 3.01(e) or (f); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of Section 3.01(e) or (f) (as the case may be) on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this Section 3.01 shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or

- 65 -


 
governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate or such forms, certificates or other evidence is no longer applicable to such Lender or other Person.
          (h) The Administrative Agent may, without reduction, withhold any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to which the Borrower is not required to pay additional amounts under Section 3.01(f) or (g).
          (i) Each Lender that is a "United States person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9. If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, without reduction.
          (j) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of all commitments to make Loans, repayment of all Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.
          (k) If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, 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 the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer (as the case may be) in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer 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.
     3.02 Illegality.

- 66 -


 
     If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or cost any additional amount.
     3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.
     If the Administrative Agent determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or that the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and all Lenders. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
     3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.
     If any Change in Law shall:
          (a) 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 or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate) or the L/C Issuer;
          (b) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or

- 67 -


 
          (c) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate 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 Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.04 for any such increased cost that such Lender becomes aware of more than one-hundred-eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender demands compensation therefor.
     3.05 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
          (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
          (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or
          (c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 12.15,
     including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay to such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
     For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching

- 68 -


 
deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
     3.06 Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.
          (a) A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article 3 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
          (b) Upon any Lender's making a claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or 3.04, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 12.15.
     3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower's obligations under this Article 3 shall survive the Termination Date.
     3.08 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement Lenders.
          (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. Subject to Section 12.15, if any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.01, or if 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 3.04, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any additional cost or expense for which in the judgment of the Lender it is not being adequately indemnified and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

- 110 -

REFERRED TO HEREIN OR THEREIN OR NOW OR HEREAFTER AVAILABLE AT LAW, IN EQUITY, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE.
     9.04 Application of Funds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (or after the Loans have otherwise become due and payable and the L/C Exposures have been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 9.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:
          (a) First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Article 3) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
          (b) Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Article 3), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause (b) payable to them;
          (c) Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and L/C Borrowings and fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments, and any interest accrued thereon, due under any Secured Hedge Agreement, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (c) held by them;
          (d) Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings and breakage, termination or other payments, and any interest accrued thereon, due under any Secured Hedge Agreement, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Exposures comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (d) held by them;
          (e) Fifth, to the payment of unpaid Obligations due under any Secured Hedge Agreements to the extent such Secured Hedge Agreement is permitted; and
          (f) Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.
     Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (d) above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit if and as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as cash collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

     Subject to Section 10.06 and the last sentence of this Section 10.01 below, the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of any Guarantor to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), the Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Secured Parties, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for the Borrower's becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against the Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to the Secured Parties as aforesaid.
     Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan Documents, the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws.
     10.02 Obligations Unconditional. The Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor under Section 10.01 are joint and several and absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, Secured Hedge Agreements, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 10.02 that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor

- 113 -


 
agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article 10 until the Termination Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain joint and several and absolute and unconditional as described above:
          (a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived in accordance with its terms;
          (b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, any Secured Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents or such Secured Hedge Agreements shall be done or omitted;
          (c) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Loan Documents, any Secured Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents or such Secured Hedge Agreements shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
          (d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party or Secured Parties as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or
          (e) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including any creditor of any Guarantor).
     10.03 Reinstatement. The Guaranteed Obligations of any Guarantor under this Article 10 shall he automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
     10.04 Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties: (a) any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lenders, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed

- 114 -


 
against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties in favor of the Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or any law, rule, regulation, or order of any jurisdiction affecting any term of the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) any defense based upon the Administrative Agent's or any Secured Party's errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor's obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor's liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, any Secured Hedge Agreement or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 10.02 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 10.02.
     10.05 Remedies. Each Guarantor agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.02 (and/or shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9.02) for purposes of Section 10.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for purposes of Section 10.01. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that its Guaranteed Obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Secured Parties may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.
     10.06 Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the "Contributing Guarantors"), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is

- 115 -


 
made on any date by a Guarantor (a "Funding Guarantor") under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor's Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. "Fair Share" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. "Fair Share Contribution Amount" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the "Fair Share Contribution Amount" with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 10.06, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. "Aggregate Payments" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 10.06), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 10.06. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 10.06 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 10.06 and a right to receive any Fair Share Contribution Amount shall be deemed an asset of the Guarantor entitled to such amount.
     10.07 Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article 10 is an absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing and irrevocable guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.
     10.08 Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the "Obligee Guarantor") is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor (other than any such amounts which are expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be paid to such Obligee Guarantor) shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
          (b) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article 11 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent" as used in this Article 11 and in the definition of "Agent-Related Person" included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuers.
          (c) The Swingline Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Swingline Loan made by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Swingline Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article 11 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Swingline Lender in connection with the Swingline Loans made by it or proposed to be made by it as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent" as used in this Article 11 and in the definition of "Agent-Related Person" included the Swingline Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Swingline Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or

attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined in a non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction).
     11.03 Liability of Administrative Agent. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the Transactions (except for its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) (as finally determined in a non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.
          (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, each Lender that has signed this Agreement (or an addendum to this Agreement or a Joinder Agreement) shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required hereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender.
     11.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default and/or Event of Default, except with

- 118 -


 
respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default" The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default and/or Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article 9; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default and/or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
     11.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent-Related Person hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the Transactions, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.
     11.07 Indemnification of Agent-Related Persons. Whether or not the Transactions are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross

- 119 -


 
negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 11.07. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent-Related Person upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by each Agent-Related Person in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that each Agent-Related Person is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 11.07 shall survive the Termination Date and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.
     11.08 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. CIT-LSC and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though CIT-LSC were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, CIT-LSC or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, CIT-LSC shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" include CIT-LSC in its individual capacity.
     11.09 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders (or a financial institution acceptable to the Required Lenders) a successor administrative agent for the Lenders. If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the term "Administrative Agent" means such successor administrative agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent's appointment, powers and duties in such capacities shall be terminated without any other further act or deed on its behalf. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 11 and Sections 12.04 and 12.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Any successor Administrative Agent appointed by the Required Lenders hereunder shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or

- 120 -


 
delayed; provided, however, that such approval shall not be required if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
     11.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan, L/C Exposure or Swingline Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Loan Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
          (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Exposures, Swingline Exposures and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 12.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

     Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
     11.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

The agreements in this Section 12.04 shall survive the Termination Date. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall provide the Borrower with reasonable backup supporting any demand for payment.
     12.05 Indemnification by the Borrower. Whether or not the Transactions are consummated, the Borrower agrees jointly and severally to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender, the L/C Issuer, each Secured Party and the respective Affiliates of all such Persons, directors, officers, employees, counsel, trustees, advisors, agents and attorneys-in-fact, including brokers (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any L/C Issuer 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), (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party (including any clean up costs therefor), or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or such Indemnitee's officers, directors, employees or agents). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through the internet, IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee have any liability for any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising

- 126 -


 
out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether arising or occurring before or after the Closing Date). All amounts due under this Section 12.05 shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 12.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, and the Termination Date. To the extent that the indemnification set forth in this Section 12.05 may be unenforceable, each Loan Party shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all such indemnified liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. Without limiting the generality of any provision of this Section, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Loan Party hereby waives all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses arising under or relating to Environmental Laws that it might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee, except to the extent that such items are determined by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
     12.06 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
     12.07 Successors and Assigns.
          (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

- 127 -


 
          (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
          (i) Minimum Amounts.
          (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
          (B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a revolving facility, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a term facility, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
          (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate tranches on a non-pro rata basis.
          (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
          (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
          (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) a Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such

- 128 -


 
assignment, a funded term facility to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
          (C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and
          (D) the consent of Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Commitments and/or the Revolving Loans.
          (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, and only if the assignee is an unaffiliated third-party together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
          (v) No Assignment to any Loan Party. No such assignment shall be made to any Loan Party or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries.
          (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.
          (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (the "Registrar"), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent's Office in the United States a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, the principal amounts of the Loans owing to, and the L/C Exposure and Swingline Exposure held by, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). No assignment or transfer of a Loan or a Commitment shall be effective unless and

- 129 -


 
until the Assignment and Assumption is registered in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary, provided that, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender's Commitments or the Borrower's or other Loan Party's Obligations in respect of any Loan or Letter of Credit. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Borrower hereby designates the entity serving as the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower's agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section, and the Borrower hereby agrees that the entity serving as Registrar and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents shall constitute Indemnitees under Section 12.05. At the request of the registered Lender, the Registrar shall note a collateral assignment of a Loan permitted hereunder on the Register and, provided that the Registrar has received the name and address of such collateral assignee, the Registrar (i) shall not permit any further transfers of the Loan on the Register absent receipt of written consent to such transfers from such collateral assignee and (ii) shall record the transfer of the Loan on the Register to such collateral assignee (or such collateral assignee's designee, nominee or assignee) upon written request by such collateral assignee (subject to Section 12.07(f)).
          (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (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 (including such Lender's L/C Exposure and Swingline Exposure)); 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 and (iii) the Borrower, each other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement.
          Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) of the first proviso of Section 12.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.09 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

- 130 -


 
          (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or 3.04 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 3.01 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 3.01 as though it were a Lender.
          (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and any pledge to a trustee as security for the benefit of the noteholders and other securityholders or creditors of a Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto until the provisions of this Section regarding assignment are satisfied with respect to such pledge.
          (g) Lender Securitization. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section, Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that (x) the Lenders, their Affiliates and Approved Funds (the "Lender Parties") may sell or securitize the Loans (a "Lender Securitization") through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to a Lender Party or the assignment or issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans (such as, for instance, collateralized loan obligations), and (y) such Lender Securitization may be rated by a Rating Agency. The Loan Parties shall reasonably cooperate with the Lender Parties to effect the Lender Securitization including by (a) providing such information as may be reasonably requested by the Lenders or Rating Agencies in connection with the rating of the Loans or the Lender Securitization, and (b) providing a certificate (i) agreeing to indemnify the Lender Parties, or any party providing credit support or otherwise participating in the Lender Securitization, including any investors in a Lender Securitization entity (collectively, the "Lender Securitization Parties") for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the "Lender Securitization Liabilities") to which the Lender Parties or such Lender Securitization Parties may become subject insofar as the Lender Securitization Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Loan Document or in any writing delivered by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Lender Parties in connection with any Loan Document or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and such indemnity shall survive any transfer by the Lenders or their successors or assigns of the Loans, and (ii) agreeing to reimburse the Lender Parties and the other Lender Securitization Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Persons in connection with defending the Lender Securitization Liabilities; provided, however, the Loan Parties shall not be liable for any other costs or expenses nor shall the Loan Parties employees be subject to unreasonable workload in connection with a Lender Securitization and such Lenders participating in a Lender Securitization (and not any other Lenders) shall promptly reimburse the Loan Parties for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Loan Parties compliance with requests expressly made under this Section 12.07(g).

- 131 -


 
          (h) Consent to Disclosure. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.08, each Loan Party authorizes each Lender to disclose to any prospective participant or assignee of a Commitment, any and all information in such Lender's possession concerning the Loan Parties and their financial affairs which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement, or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Loan Parties in connection with such Lender's credit evaluation of the Loan Parties prior to entering into this Agreement.
     12.08 Confidentiality.
          (a) Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and Approved Funds and to its and its Affiliates' and Approved Funds' respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, advisors, actual and prospective investors, and other representatives (collectively, the "Representatives") (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), or to Rating Agencies, (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 laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar judicial or legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) to (i) any assignee or pledgee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee or pledgee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any other Loan Party and its obligations, provided that such parties agree to be bound by confidentiality provisions substantially similar to those hereunder, and to the Representatives of the foregoing parties in clauses (i) and (ii), (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, or any of their respective Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties. The terms of this provision shall supersede and replace any previous agreement regarding the no disclosure of confidentiality of the Information. This provision shall terminate upon the termination of the Commitments and payment of the Obligations.
     For purposes of this Section, (i) "Information" means, all information received from any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to or in the possession of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer or their Representatives (or any intended recipient) on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries. 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 and (ii) "Rating Agencies" means Moody's Investor Services, Inc., Standard and Poor's Ratings Group, a Division of McGraw Hill Corporation, Fitch Ratings Ltd., or any other nationally recognized rating agency

- 132 -


 
or service. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, "Information" shall not include, and the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the "tax treatment" and "tax structure" (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the Transactions and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Administrative Agent or such Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans and Transactions.
          (b) Neither the Borrower nor any Affiliate thereof will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of "CIT Lending Services Corporation" or its Affiliates or any other Lender or its Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without at least two (2) Business Days' prior notice to such Lender and without the prior written consent of such Lender unless (and only to the extent that) the Borrower or Affiliate is required to do so under law and then, in any event, the Borrower or Affiliate will consult with such Lender before issuing such press release or other public disclosure. The Borrower hereby consents to the publication by any Lender of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Lender reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.
     12.09 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and any Affiliate of a Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, but without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
     12.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the "Maximum Rate"). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the

Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
     12.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
     12.12 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter; provided that the Fee Letter shall survive the effectiveness of this Agreement and the initial Credit Extensions hereunder and shall continue to be in full force and effect after the Closing Date in accordance with its terms. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
     12.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
     12.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
     12.15 Replacement of Lenders. Under any circumstances set forth herein providing that the Borrower shall have the right to replace a Lender as a party to this Agreement, the Borrower may, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its Revolving Commitment and outstanding Loans (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) pursuant to Section 12.07(b) to one

or more other Lenders or assignees satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and procured by the Borrower (each, a "replacement lender"). The Borrower shall have reimbursed such Lender for its increased costs and additional payments for which it is entitled to reimbursement under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05, as applicable, through the date of such sale and assignment. Any Lender being replaced shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender's Commitment and outstanding Loans and such Lender's L/C Exposure and Swingline Exposure.

EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY ALSO SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ALL FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS SITTING IN ANY STATE IN WHICH THE BORROWER OR OTHER LOAN PARTY OWNS PROPERTY OR OPERATES ITS BUSINESS. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
     12.17 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

     12.18 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.
     12.19 Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Loan Parties on the one hand and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower or guarantor, as applicable, and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to any Loan Party to review or inform any Loan Party of any matter in connection with any phase of any Loan Party's business or operations. The Loan Parties agree that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have liability to any Loan Party (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by any Loan Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. NO LENDER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY OTHERS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS OBTAINED THROUGH INTRALINKS OR OTHER SIMILAR INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, NOR SHALL ANY LENDER PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO, AND THE BORROWER ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY, HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO SUE FOR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ARISING OUT OF ITS ACTIVITIES IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH (WHETHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE CLOSING DATE). The Loan Parties acknowledge that they have been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. No joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the Transactions among the Agents, Lenders or among the Loan Parties and the Lenders and the Agents.
