under the Existing Credit Agreement shall become obligations of the Borrower and the other Loan
Parties hereunder, secured by the Collateral Documents, and (b) the provisions of the Existing
Credit Agreement shall be superseded by the provisions hereof.
ARTICLE II
THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS
2.01 Revolving Loans.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make
loans (each such loan, a Revolving Loan) to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time on
any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at
any time outstanding the amount of such Lenders Revolving Commitment; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (i) the Total
Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any
25
Lender, plus such Lenders Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations, plus such Lenders Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line
Loans shall not exceed such Lenders Revolving Commitment. Within the limits of each Lenders
Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow
under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this
Section 2.01. Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further
provided herein, provided, however, all Borrowings made on the Closing Date shall be made as Base
Rate Loans.
2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Revolving Loans.
(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, and each
continuation of Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrowers
irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice
must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days
prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of, Revolving Loans
that are Eurodollar Rate Loans or any conversion of Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans
to Base Rate Loans and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are 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 signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of
Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a
whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and
2.04(c), each Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal
amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether
telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a
conversion of Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Revolving Loans that
are 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 Revolving Loans to
be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed or to which
existing Revolving 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 a Revolving Loan in a Loan
Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation,
then the applicable Revolving 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 Loan
Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest
Period of one month.
(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice pursuant to Section 2.02(a), the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable
Revolving Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic
conversion to Base Rate Loans as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a
Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to the Administrative
Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agents Office not later than 1:00 p.m.
on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit
Extension, Section 5.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received
available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i)
crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds
or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and
reasonably acceptable 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
26
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 Revolving Loan that is 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 a Default or Event of Default, no Revolving 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 Revolving Loans that are 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. At any time that
Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank of Americas prime rate used in determining the Base
Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Loans from one Type to
the other, and all continuations of Revolving Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than
5 Interest Periods in effect with respect to Revolving Loans (or such greater number of Interest
Periods as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion).
(f) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time, upon prior written notice by the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent, increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments by up to ONE
HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($125,000,000) with additional Revolving Commitments from any
existing Lender or new Revolving Commitments from any other Person selected by the Borrower and
approved by the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that:
(i) any such increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5 million and in
integral multiples of $5 million in excess thereof;
(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing at the time of any such
increase;
(iii) no existing Lender shall be under any obligation to increase its Revolving
Commitment and any such decision whether to increase its Revolving Commitment shall be in
such Lenders sole and absolute discretion;
(iv) (A) any new Lender shall join this Agreement by executing such joinder documents
reasonably required by the Administrative Agent and/or (B) any existing Lender electing to
increase its Revolving Commitment shall have executed a commitment agreement reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and
(v) as a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the date of such increase
(in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party
(A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or
consenting to such increase, and (B) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that,
immediately prior to and after giving effect to such increase, (1) the representations and
warranties of the Borrower and each
27
other Loan Party contained in Article VI and the other Loan Documents are true
and correct on and as of the date of such increase, except to the extent that such
representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are
true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section
2.02(f), the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of
Section 6.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished
pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 7.01, and (2) no Default
or Event of Default exists.
The Borrower shall prepay any Loans owing by it and outstanding on the date of any such
increase (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent
necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Revolving Commitments arising from
any nonratable increase in the Revolving Commitments under this Section.
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 other 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
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and to amend Letters of Credit previously issued by
it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drafts under the Letters of
Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for
the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary; provided that the L/C Issuer shall
not be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and
no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit if as of the date of
such L/C Credit Extension, (y) the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments or (z) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any
Lender, plus such Lenders Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations, plus such Lenders Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all
Swing Line Loans would exceed such Lenders Revolving Commitment. Within the foregoing
limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers ability to obtain
Letters of Credit 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 be under no 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;
28
(B) 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 have approved such expiry date;
(C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry
date;
(D) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of
the L/C Issuer applicable to borrowers generally;
(E) such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than $200,000 (or such
lesser amount as may be agreed to by the L/C Issuer, in its sole discretion); or
(F) a default of any Lenders 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 Issuers risk with respect to such Lender, it being understood
and agreed that the L/C Issuer would consider the Borrowers providing Cash
Collateral to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer, to secure
such Lenders Pro Rata Share of such Letter of Credit a satisfactory arrangement.
(iii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A)
the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its
amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does
not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(iv) The L/C Issuer shall be under no 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, at least one 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 V shall not then be satisfied. The L/C Issuer shall promptly provide the
Borrower a copy of any such notice it receives from the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension 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 signed by
a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received
by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least three (3)
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 reasonably 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 matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request
for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application
29
shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (1) the
Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a
Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the
L/C Issuer may reasonably 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 contained in Article
V 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 Subsidiary, as the case may be, or enter into the applicable amendment, as
the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuers usual and customary
business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender
shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the
L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product
of such Lenders Pro Rata Share times the 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 under the terms hereof, or would have no obligation at such time to
issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) 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 seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative
Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Section 5.02 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.
30
(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a
drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the
L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an Honor Date), the Borrower
shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the
amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of
the unreimbursed drawing (the Unreimbursed Amount), and the amount of such
Lenders Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
requested a Borrowing 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 Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount
of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set
forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given
by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i)
may be given 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 Lender (including the Lender acting as 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 Agents 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. 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 applicable conditions set forth in Section
5.02 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 shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lenders 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 each 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, interest in respect of such Lenders Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely
for the account of the L/C Issuer.
(v) Each Lenders obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the
L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, 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, the Borrower or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or
(C) any
31
other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided, however, that each Lenders obligation to make Revolving Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 5.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice ). 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 Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent 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 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 greater of the
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar
fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender
pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute
such Lenders Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the
relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to
any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(vii) Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in
support of any obligations of a Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated
to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for the full amount of any and all drawings under such
Letter of Credit.
(d) Repayment of Participations.
(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and
has received from any Lender such Lenders L/C Advance in respect of such payment in
accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives 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 Lenders 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 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 11.04 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent 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. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause
shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer
for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute,
32
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,
any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the
Borrower or any 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 contemplated hereby 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 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, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.
The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto
that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers
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 given as aforesaid.
(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any
drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer 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, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or
assignee 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 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 Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all
risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any
Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and
shall not, preclude the Borrowers 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, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or
assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or
33
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 or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused
by the L/C Issuers willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuers 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. 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, (i) if the L/C
Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing
has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C
Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash
Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such
Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date, as the case may be). Sections 2.05 and 9.02 set forth certain
additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. The Borrower hereby grants to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest in all
such cash, deposit accounts and all balances in the applicable cash collateral accounts and all
proceeds therein. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts at Bank of
America. If at any time the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the total amount of
funds held as Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations,
the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative
Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x)
such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash
Collateral. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash
Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to
reimburse the L/C Issuer.
(h) Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and
the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the International Standby Practices
1998 published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version
thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.
(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter
of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn
under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter
of Credit). Such letter of credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such
letter of credit fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end 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 Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount
of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for
each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
34
(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The
Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to
each Letter of Credit, at the rate specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the daily maximum
amount available to be drawn thereunder (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under
such Letter of Credit), due and payable quarterly in arrears on the Business Day immediately
following the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such
date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and on the Letter of Credit Expiration
Date. In addition, the Borrower 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
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) Designation of Subsidiaries as Account Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation Section 2.03(a), a
Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall upon the request of the Borrower be issued for the account
of any Subsidiary of the Borrower, provided that notwithstanding such request, the Borrower shall
be the actual account party for all purposes of this Agreement for such Letter of Credit and such
request shall not affect the Borrowers reimbursement obligations hereunder with respect to such
Letter of Credit.
2.04 Swing Line Loans.
(a) Swing Line Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this
Section 2.04, to make loans (each such loan, a Swing Line Loan) to the Borrower
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 the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding
the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding
Amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as a Lender
of Revolving Loans, may exceed the amount of such Lenders Revolving Commitment; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving
Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lenders Pro Rata Share
of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lenders Pro Rata Share of the
Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lenders Revolving Commitment, and
provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line
Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the
other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay
under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan
shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be
deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line
Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such
Lenders Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Borrowing of Swing Line Loans shall be made upon the
Borrowers irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be
given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify
(i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum principal amount of $100,000 and integral
multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a
Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line
Lender and the
35
Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed
by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any
telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan
Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in
writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone
or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00
p.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing of Swing Line Loans (A) directing the Swing Line Lender
not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the
first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions
specified in Article V is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in
such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the event that an auto borrow or zero balance or
similar arrangement shall then be in place with the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall request
Swing Line Loans pursuant to such alternative notice arrangements, if any, provided thereunder or
in connection therewith, and each Swing Line Loan advance shall be in such minimum amounts, if any,
provided by such arrangement.
(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request,
on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably requests and authorizes the Swing Line
Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount
equal to such Lenders Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.
Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan
Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02,
without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of
Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. The Swing Line Lender
shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after
delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal
to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender
at the Administrative Agents Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such
Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes
funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such
amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line
Lender.
(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing of
Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate
Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request
by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the
relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lenders payment to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed
payment in respect of such participation.
(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section
2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender 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 Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of
36
the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with
respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
(iv) Each Lenders obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(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 that such Lender may have against
the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower 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
Lenders obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. No such purchase or funding of
risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to
repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d) Repayment of Participations.
(i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a
Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line
Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such
payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of
time during which such Lenders risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those
received by the Swing Line Lender.
(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or
interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under
any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay
to the Swing Line Lender 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, at a
rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such
demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.
(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender
funds its Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or risk participation pursuant to this
Section 2.04 to refinance such Lenders Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in
respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.
(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of
principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.
2.05 Prepayments.
(a) Voluntary Prepayments of Loans.
(i) Revolving Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice from the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Loans in
whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be
received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) three (3) Business Days
prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment
of Base Rate Loans; (B) any such prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal
amount of $5,000,000
37
or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal
amount thereof then outstanding) and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 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 Revolving 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 Lenders Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such
notice is given 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. Any
prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon,
together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such
prepayment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares.
(ii) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily
prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided
that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent
not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall
be in a minimum principal amount of $250,000 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. If such notice is given 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. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, in the event that an auto borrow or zero balance or similar
arrangement shall then be in place with the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower may make
voluntary prepayments on Swing Line Loans pursuant to such alternative notice arrangements
and in such minimum amounts, if any, provided thereunder or in connection therewith.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments of Loans. If for any reason the Total Revolving
Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower
shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans and/or the Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the
L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however,
that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this
Section 2.05(b) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line
Loans, the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect.
All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied to
Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans and (after all Revolving Loans and all Swing Line Loans have
been repaid) to Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations.
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
(beginning with the earliest maturity). All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be
subject to Section 3.05, but otherwise without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied
by interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.
2.06 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments.
The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments to an
amount not less than the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C
Obligations; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 12:00 noon five (5) Business Days prior to the date of termination or
reduction, (ii) any such partial
38
reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments, the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments,
such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate 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 Aggregate Revolving
Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
2.07 Repayment of Loans.
(a) Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the
aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding on such date.
(b) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to
occur of (i) demand by the Swing Line Lender and (ii) the Maturity Date.
2.08 Interest.
(a) Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans.
(i) Subject to the provisions of subsection (ii) below, (A) each Revolving Loan that is
a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for
each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (I) the Eurodollar Rate for
such Interest Period plus (II) the Applicable Rate; (B) each Revolving Loan that is
a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the
applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate; and (C) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the
Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(ii) Interest on each Revolving Loan and Swing Line 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.
(b) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations at
a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Laws.
2.09 Fees.
In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.03:
(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee equal to the
product of (i) the Applicable Rate times (ii) the actual daily amount by which the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of (y) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving
Loans and (z) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations. The commitment fee shall accrue at
all times
39
during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the
conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing
with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date. The
commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the
Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied
by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable
Rate was in effect. For purposes of clarification, Swing Line Loans shall not be considered
outstanding for purposes of determining the unused portion of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments.
(b) Fee Letter. The Borrower shall pay to BAS and the Administrative Agent for
their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee
Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall be non-refundable for any
reason whatsoever.
2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees.
All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of
Americas prime rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be,
and actual days elapsed. All other 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).
2.11 Evidence of Debt.
(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 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 Lenders Loans in addition to such accounts or records.
Each such promissory note shall (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, be in the form of Exhibit
C-1 (a Revolving Note) and (ii) in the case of Swing Line Loans, be in the form of
Exhibit C-2 (a Swing Line 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.
(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 Swing
Line 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.
40
2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agents Clawback.
(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for
any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off. 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 Agents Office in
Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.
The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to the L/C Issuer its applicable share or 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 Lenders Lending Office. All payments received by the
Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. 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) 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, interest and fees then due hereunder,
such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs
and amounts payable under Article III) incurred by the Administrative Agent and each
Lender, (ii) second, toward repayment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to
such parties, and (iii) third, toward repayment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal
and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lenders share of such Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made
such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such
event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds
with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to
the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case
of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation,
plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent
in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the
interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided, however that the
Administrative Agent may not make demand therefor upon the Borrower unless such Lender fails to pay
such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agents demand therefor. If the Borrower and such
Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by
the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the
Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lenders Loan included in such
Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower
41
shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have
failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the
L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then
each of the appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to
the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the
date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent
in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(f) 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 II, 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 V are not satisfied or waived in
accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds
as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(g) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Loans, to fund participations
in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c)
are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such
participation in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans or to make any payment under Section
11.04(c) 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, to purchase its participation in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans
or to make its payment under
Section 11.04(c).
(h) 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 by Lenders.
If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of
the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it
(but not including any amounts applied by the Swing Line Lender to outstanding Swing Line Loans),
any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or
otherwise) in excess of its ratable 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
the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, 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 11.05 (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,
42
together with an amount equal to such paying Lenders ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lenders 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 11.08) 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 binding in the absence of
manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 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.
ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01 Taxes.
(a) Subject to Section 11.14 and except as provided in this Section 3.01, any
and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of the Administrative Agent, the L/C
Issuer or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of 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, the L/C Issuer and each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured
by its overall net income or overall gross receipts, and franchise taxes and similar taxes imposed
on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or maintains
a lending office or maintained a lending office from which Credit Extensions were made (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, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall
be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), each of the Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuer 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 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.
(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).
43
(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer 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, the L/C Issuer 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; provided the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and such Lender,
as the case may be, provides the Borrower with a written record therefor setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts; provided further that the
Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and such
Lender, as the case may be, for such Taxes, Other Taxes and liabilities arising therefrom or with
respect thereto for which written notice was received by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer
or such Lender from the appropriate Governmental Authority more than 180 days prior to the date the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of
such Taxes, Other Taxes and any liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payment
under this subsection (c) shall be made within thirty days after the date the Lender, the L/C
Issuer or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor.
(d) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of
Section 3.01(a) or Section 3.01(c) with respect to such Lender, it will, if
requested by the Borrower, use reasonable commercial efforts (subject to such Lenders overall
internal policies of general application) to designate another lending office for any Loan or
Letter of Credit affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event;
provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such
Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or
regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section
3.01(d) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such
Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) and Section 3.01(c).
(e) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, any indemnity with respect
to taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges
imposed by any Governmental Authority on any payment made by any Loan Party to or for the account
of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender under any Loan Document, or any
liabilities with respect thereto, shall be governed solely and exclusively by this Section
3.01 and Section 11.14.
(f) If the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender 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, 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 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender, as the case may
be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender, 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 if the Administrative Agent,
the L/C Issuer or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any
Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it
deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
44
3.02 Illegality.
If any Lender reasonably 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 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 materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.
If the Administrative Agent reasonably 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 (without regard to any notice period that may
otherwise be required hereunder) any pending request for a Borrowing, conversion 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.
(a) If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change
in or in the interpretation of any Law, or such Lenders compliance therewith, there shall be any
increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
Eurodollar Rate Loans or (as the case may be) issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a
reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the
foregoing (excluding for purposes of this subsection (a) any such increased costs or reduction in
amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 3.01 and Section
11.14 shall govern), (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income, overall gross
income, franchise taxes or similar taxes by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any
political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or has its
Lending Office or maintained a lending office from which Credit Extensions were made, and (iii)
reserve requirements utilized, as to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in the determination of the Eurodollar
Rate), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such
increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to
such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or
reduction.
45
(b) If any Lender reasonably determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital
adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or
its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such
Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lenders obligations
hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such
Lenders desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting
forth in reasonable detail such additional amounts (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will
compensate such Lender for such reduction.
(c) The Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Section
3.04(a) or (b) for any such increased cost or reduction incurred more than one hundred
eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender demands, or notifies the Borrower of its
intention to demand, compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise
to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above
shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
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 reasonable expense actually 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
11.15;
including 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.
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
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 III 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.
46
(b) Upon any Lenders making a claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or
3.04, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.15.
3.07 Survival.
All of the Borrowers obligations under this Article III shall survive the termination
of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
ARTICLE IV
GUARANTY
4.01 The Guaranty.
Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Lender, each Affiliate
of a Lender that enters into a Swap Contract, and the Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided,
as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due
(whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash
collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors
hereby further agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at
stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization
or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any
demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of
any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended
maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or
otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan
Documents or Swap Contracts, the 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 or any comparable
provisions of any applicable state law.
4.02 Obligations Unconditional.
The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and several, absolute
and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability
of any of the Loan Documents or Swap Contracts, 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 4.02 that the
obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances. Each Guarantor 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 IV until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full and
the Revolving Commitments have expired or terminated. 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 absolute and unconditional as described above:
47
(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;
(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents or
any Swap Contract between any Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or
any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents or such Swap Contracts
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 Swap Contract between any Loan Party and any Lender, or any
Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan
Documents or such Swap Contracts 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 Lender or
Lenders 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,
without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be
subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any
Guarantor).
With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, any notice of acceleration
and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust
any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents, any Swap
Contract between any Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other
agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents or such Swap Contracts or against any
other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.
4.03 Reinstatement.
The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IV shall be 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 Lender on demand
for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel)
incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender 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.
4.04 Certain Additional Waivers.
Each Guarantor further 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
4.02 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.06.
48
4.05 Remedies.
The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors,
on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Obligations
may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.02 (and shall be
deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said
Section 9.02) for purposes of Section 4.01 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 the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.01. The Guarantors acknowledge and
agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral
Documents and that the Lenders may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms
thereof.
4.06 Rights of Contribution.
The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, if any Guarantor shall make an Excess
Payment (as defined below), such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other
Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantors Contribution Share (as defined below) of
such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 4.06
shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until such time as the
Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have expired or terminated, and none of the
Guarantors shall exercise any right or remedy under this Section 4.06 against any other
Guarantor until such Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have expired or
terminated. For purposes of this Section 4.06, (a) Excess Payment shall mean the amount
paid by any Guarantor in excess of its Ratable Share of any Guaranteed Obligations; (b) Ratable
Share shall mean, for any Guarantor in respect of any payment of Obligations, the ratio (expressed
as a percentage) as of the date of such payment of Guaranteed Obligations of (i) the amount by
which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the
amount of all debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated,
unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder)
to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other
properties of all of the Loan Parties exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities
(including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the
obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder) of the Loan Parties; provided, however,
that, for purposes of calculating the Ratable Shares of the Guarantors in respect of any payment of
Obligations, any Guarantor that became a Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such payment shall
be deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such payment and the financial information for
such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor shall be utilized for such
Guarantor in connection with such payment; (c) Contribution Share shall mean, for any Guarantor
in respect of any Excess Payment made by any other Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage)
as of the date of such Excess Payment of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable
value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such
Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but
excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate
present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of the Loan Parties other than the
maker of such Excess Payment exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including
contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of
the Loan Parties) of the Loan Parties other than the maker of such Excess Payment;
provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the Contribution Shares of the
Guarantors in respect of any Excess Payment, any Guarantor that became a Guarantor subsequent to
the date of any such Excess Payment shall be deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such
Excess Payment and the financial information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor
became a Guarantor shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with such Excess Payment; and
(d) Guaranteed Obligations shall mean the Obligations guaranteed by the Guarantors pursuant to
this
49
Article IV. This Section 4.06 shall not be deemed to affect any right of
subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution that any Guarantor may have under Law against
the Borrower in respect of any payment of Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
all rights of contribution against any Guarantor shall terminate from and after such time, if ever,
that such Guarantor shall be relieved of its obligations in accordance with Section 10.09.
4.07 Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee.
The guarantee in this Article IV is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a
continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the
request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following
actions:
(a) declare the commitment of each Lender to make Revolving Loans, any obligation of
the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions and any obligation of the Swing Line Lender to
make Swing Line Loans to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be
terminated;
(b) require that the Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount
equal to the then applicable Outstanding Amount thereof);
(c) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued
and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan
Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and
(d) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to
it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable law;
provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an
order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the
obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit
Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and
all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the
obligation of the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall
automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender.
9.03 Application of Funds.
After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.02 (or after the Loans have
automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been
required to be
77
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:
First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities,
expenses and other amounts (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Article
III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
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 III), ratably among them in
proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;
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 Swap Contract between any Loan Party and any
Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, to the extent such Swap Contract is permitted by
Section 8.03(d), ratably among the Lenders (and, in the case of such Swap Contracts,
Affiliates of Lenders) in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause
Third held by them;
Fourth, to (a) payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid
principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, (b) payment of breakage, termination or other
payments, and any interest accrued thereon, due under any Swap Contract between any Loan
Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, to the extent such Swap Contract is
permitted by Section 8.03(d) and (c) Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C
Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit, ratably among
the Lenders (and, in the case of such Swap Contracts, Affiliates of Lenders) in proportion
to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them; and
Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly 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 Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy
drawings under such Letters of Credit, as applicable, as they occur. If any amount remains on
deposit as Cash Collateral for any Letter of Credit after such Letter of Credit has either been
fully drawn or expired, then (i) if any other Obligations (other than Letters of Credit that have
been Cash Collateralized) are outstanding, such remaining amount shall be applied to such other
Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above or (ii) if all of the Obligations (other than the
Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized) have been indefeasibly paid in full, such
remaining amount shall be paid to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law.

10.01 Appointment and Authority of Administrative Agent.
(a) Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act
on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers
as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such
actions and
78
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for
the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and neither the Borrower
nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the collateral agent under the Loan
Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, a Swing Line Lender and a Lender
or an Affiliate of a Lender that enters into a Swap Contract with any Loan Party) and the L/C
Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of
such Lender and the L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens
on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with
such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the
Administrative Agent, as collateral agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact
appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.02 for purposes of holding or
enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral
Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the
Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article
X and Article XI (including Section 11.04(c), as though such co-agents,
sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the collateral agent under the Loan Documents) as if set
forth in full herein with respect thereto.
(c) Each Lender hereby acknowledges that it has received and reviewed the Intercreditor
Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof. Each Lender hereby authorizes Bank of
America to serve as the Lender Agent under and as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf
of the Lenders.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform
any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the
Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their
respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for
herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
10.03 Exculpatory Provisions.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Administrative Agent:
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby
or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as
directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents),
provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action
that, in its reasonable opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative
Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and
79
(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents,
have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or
obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable (i) to any Lender for any action taken or not
taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in
good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and
9.02) or (ii) for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge
of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent
by the Borrower, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire
into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made by any other party in or in connection with
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered by any other party hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or
therewith, (iii) the performance or observance by any other party of any of the covenants,
agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any
Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or
priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the
sufficiency of any Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article
V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be
delivered to the Administrative Agent.
10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing (including any electronic message (to the extent permitted by this Agreement), Internet or
intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may
rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by
the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of
Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C
Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender
or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The
Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with
the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
10.05 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.
Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to
80
make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
10.06 Rights as a Lender.
The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent and the term Lender or Lenders shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated
or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally
engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if
such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to
the Lenders.
10.07 Resignation of Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation (which resignation,
for the avoidance of doubt, shall not become effective until the earlier of (x) the date a
successor is appointed as provided below or (y) 30 days after giving such notice) to the Lenders,
the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (which shall be required at all
times other than during the existence of an Event of Default, and which consent of the Borrower
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with
an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United
States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of
its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C
Issuer, after consulting with the Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such
resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring
Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided
to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender
and the L/C Issuer directly, and the Lenders shall perform all the duties of the Administrative
Agent (and, if applicable, the L/C Issuer) until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a
successors appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired)
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its
duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged
therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed
between the Borrower and such successor. The retiring Administrative Agent shall refund to the
Borrower the pro rata portion of the agency fee paid to such retiring Administrative Agent pursuant
to the Fee Letter for any days in the applicable period occurring after the date of the retiring
Administrative Agents resignation. After the retiring Administrative Agents resignation
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section
11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its
sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any
81
actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent
was acting as Administrative Agent.
Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also
constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a
successors appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and
Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all
of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii)
the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit,
if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably
satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C
Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
10.08 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial
proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the
principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation 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 Borrower) 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 Obligations 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, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders,
the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all
other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under
Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.09 and 11.04) allowed in such
judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other Property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such
payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent
to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.
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 or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the
L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or
the L/C Issuer or in any such proceeding.
10.09 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.
The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option
and in its discretion,
82
(a) to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative
Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments
and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations)
and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is transferred or to
be transferred as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under
any other Loan Document or any Involuntary Disposition, or (iii) as approved in accordance
with Section 11.01;
(b) to subordinate any Lien on any Property granted to or held by the Administrative
Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such Property that is permitted
by Section 8.01(i); and
(c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person
ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person

expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y)
arise out of a dispute solely between two or more Indemnitees not caused by or involving in any way
the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it
to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any
of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lenders Applicable
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment
is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified
loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such,
or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any
such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders

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

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
88
(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 Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of

(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 Revolving Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection,
participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line 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 Lenders Revolving 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 the case of any assignment not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this
Section, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment subject to each such
assignment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the
Revolving 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, unless each of
the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that
concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments
from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible
Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment
for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;
(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lenders rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Revolving Commitment assigned, except
that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line Lenders rights and obligations
in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) 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 (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is
89
continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) 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
the Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an
Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and
(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 the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the
Revolving Commitments.
(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
processing and recordation fee in the amount, if any, required as set forth in Schedule
11.06; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole
discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any
assignment. The assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the
Borrower or any of the Borrowers 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 Lenders 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 and 11.04
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, shall maintain at the Administrative Agents Office a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations
owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the Register). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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
90
purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. 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.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person or the Borrower or any of the Borrowers Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
Participant) in all or a portion of such Lenders rights and/or obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and/or the Loans (including such
Lenders participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided
that (i) such Lenders 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, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders 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, waiver or other modification described in
clauses (a) through (g) of the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such
Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower 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 11.08 as though it were a Lender,
provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a
Lender.
(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 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 Borrowers 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 11.14 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 (including under its Note, if any) to
secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank; 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.
(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words execution, signed,
signature, and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include
electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the
same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a
paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any
applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act,
the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on
the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
(h) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its
Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may,
(i) upon thirty (30) days notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii)
upon thirty (30)
91
days notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such
resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from
among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided,
however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the
resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of
America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of
its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to
require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts
pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall
retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line
Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right
to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing
Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer
and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case
may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the
Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements
satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with
respect to such Letters of Credit.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders agrees
to (and to cause its and its Affiliates directors, officers and employees to) maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a)
to its and its Affiliates directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal
counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made
will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential and that the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender, as
applicable, shall be responsible for any violation of this Section 11.08 by such Persons);
(b) to the extent required by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Person; (c) to
the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process;
(d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) to the extent reasonably required in connection with
the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same
as those of this Section, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or
(ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such
contractual counterpartys or prospective counterpartys professional advisor) to any credit
derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Loan Parties; (g) with the prior written
consent of the Borrower; (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,
the L/C Issuer, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a
source other than the Borrower; or (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or
any other similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to
information about a Lenders or its Affiliates investment portfolio in connection with ratings
issued with respect to such Lender or its Affiliates (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). In addition, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market
data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Revolving Commitments, and the Credit Extensions.
92
For purposes of this Section, Information means all information received from or on
behalf of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to
the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof. 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.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the
Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as
the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material
non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance
with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.
The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or BAS will make
available to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer materials and/or information provided by or on behalf
of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, Borrower Materials) by posting the Borrower
Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the Platform) and (b)
certain of the Lenders may be public-side Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive
material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a
Public Lender). The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable
efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public
Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked PUBLIC
which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word PUBLIC shall appear prominently on the first page
thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials PUBLIC, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
authorized the Administrative Agent, BAS, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders to treat such Borrower
Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and
proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal
and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower
Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in this Section
11.07); (y) all Borrower Materials marked PUBLIC are permitted to be made available through a
portion of the Platform designated Public Investor; and (z) the Administrative Agent and BAS
shall treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked PUBLIC as being suitable only for posting
on a portion of the Platform not designated Public Investor.
11.08 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 any Lender is
authorized at any time and from time to time, 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 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
93
Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such set-off and application.
11.09 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.
11.10 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.
11.11 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. 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.
11.12 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 or any Letter of Credit shall remain
outstanding.
11.13 Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents 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
94
provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate
or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
11.14 Tax Forms.
(a) (i) Each Lender that is not a United States person within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code (a Foreign Lender) shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the
Internal Revenue Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly
signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such
Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on
all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement)
or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such
Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence
satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is
entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax, including any
exemption pursuant to Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the
Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms
(or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States
taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and
regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States
withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any
change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or
reduction, and (C) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the
re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that the
Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign
Lender.
(ii) 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.
(iii) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Foreign
Lender under Section 3.01 or any indemnity payments under Section 3.01(c)
(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 this Section 11.14(a) or (B) if such Lender shall have failed to
satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.14(a); provided that if
such Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this Section
95
11.14(a) 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 11.14(a) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts
pursuant to Section 3.01 in the event that, as a result of any change in any
applicable law, treaty or 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.
(iv) 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 this
Section 11.14(a).
(b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, 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 two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9. If such
Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent 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.
(c) 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 the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the
Administrative Agent.
11.15 Replacement of Lenders.
If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (b) 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 3.01, (c) a Lender (a Non-Consenting Lender)
does not consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan
Document that has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 11.01 but
requires unanimous consent of all Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby (as applicable)
or (d) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort,
upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which
assignee may, but is not required to, be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment),
provided that:
(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee
specified in Section 11.06(b);
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all
other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any
amounts
96
under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and
(v) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting Lenders failure
to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan
Document, the applicable replacement bank, financial institution or Fund consents to the
proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination; provided that the failure by such
Non-Consenting Lender to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair
the validity of the removal of such Non-Consenting Lender and the mandatory assignment of
such Non-Consenting Lenders Revolving Commitments and outstanding Loans and participations
in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 11.15 shall
nevertheless be effective without the execution by such Non-Consenting Lender of an
Assignment and Assumption.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto,
as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the
Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
11.16 Governing Law.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE;
PROVIDED THAT THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.
(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT
MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK OR OF THE
UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS
AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION,
INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS,
WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION
IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES
PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS
PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF SUCH STATE.
11.17 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
97
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY
(WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT
SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
11.18 Designated Senior Indebtedness.

Designated Senior Debt for purposes of the 2000 Subordinated Indenture and the other 2000
Convertible Subordinated Debentures Documents, (b) the Indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement is

Indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement is hereby specifically designated as Designated Senior
Indebtedness for purposes of the 2006 Subordinated Indenture and the other 2006 Convertible
Subordinated Notes Documents and (d) the Indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement is hereby
specifically designated as Designated Senior Indebtedness (or any comparable term) for purposes
of any documentation governing the Permitted Subordinated Refinancing Indebtedness.
11.19 USA Patriot Act Notice.
Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby
notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.
L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the Act), it is required to obtain, verify
and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and
address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

Schedule 8.08
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND INSIDERS
|
|
The Borrower has entered into an indemnity agreement with each
of its directors and executive officers. The indemnity agreements
generally provide that the Borrower will, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless each indemnitee that
is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any civil, criminal or
administrative proceeding against all expenses, judgments, fines,
penalties and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any such proceeding.
The indemnity agreements provide the indemnitee with
indemnification rights in connection with third-party proceedings
and proceedings brought by or in the right of the Borrower. In
addition, the indemnity agreements provide for the advancement of
expenses incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any covered
proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The
indemnity agreements also provide that if the indemnification
rights provided for therein are unavailable for any reason, the
Borrower will pay, in the first instance, the entire amount
incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any covered
proceeding and waive and relinquish any right of contribution the
Borrower may have against the indemnitee. Upon any potential
change in control (as defined in the indemnity agreements) of the
Borrower, the indemnitee has the right to cause the Borrower to
create a trust and to fund the trust with an amount sufficient to
satisfy any indemnifiable expenses expected to be incurred by the
indemnitee. The indemnity agreements will continue as long as the
director or executive officer is subject to any potential
proceeding in his or her capacity as such, regardless of when the
individuals service to the Borrower ends. |
|
|
|
In February 2000, Borrower submitted a written notice to Gary
A. Tucci, a member of Borrowers board of directors and an officer
of Potelco, Inc., a Loan Party (Potelco), seeking indemnification
from him for certain accounts receivable losses sustained by
Borrower in connection with its acquisition of Potelco. The total
amount outstanding as a result of this indemnification claim as of
the Closing Date is $144,104. As of the Closing Date, Borrower is
negotiating the settlement of this claim with Mr. Tucci. |
|
|
|
From time to time, the Borrower or a Subsidiary may enter into
agreements to the extent permitted by this Agreement (other than
this Section 8.08) with and/or take a minority ownership position
in companies owned or controlled by family members of officers of
such Person for purposes of obtaining benefits available in
connection with governmental programs, organizations or incentives
(including, by way of illustration and without limitation, such
programs or incentives relating to small businesses or transactions
with women- or minority-owned businesses). |
|
|
|
From time to time and as part of the arms-length negotiation
of the acquisition of Subsidiaries, Borrower or its Subsidiaries
may have entered into transactions with certain officers of its
Subsidiaries (including, by way of illustration and without
limitation, leases or rental agreements with such officers) that,
when taken outside the context of the acquisition as a whole, may
not be viewed as being substantially as favorable to Borrower as
would be obtainable by it in an arms-length transaction with a
different third-party.
