AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCES
AND THE LETTERS OF CREDIT
SECTION 2.1. THE ADVANCES AND THE LETTERS OF CREDIT.
(a) The Term A Advances. On the Initial Closing Date, the
Term A Lenders (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) made the Term A
Advances to the Borrower. Prior to the Effective Date, the Borrower repaid the
Term A Advances in full from the Net Cash Proceeds of the Senior Notes (2001) as
required by the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement. The Term A Facility is
hereby canceled.
(b) The Term B Advances. Pursuant to the Existing Credit
Agreement, the Term B Lenders, severally, made (ratably according to their Term
B Commitments) a single advance in the aggregate principal amount of
$350,000,000 (a "Term B Advance") to the Borrower on the Initial Closing Date,
of which $347,375,000 is outstanding as of the date of this Agreement. Amounts
of the Term B Advances which have been repaid or prepaid or which hereafter may
be repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
(c) The Revolving Credit Advances. Each Revolving Credit
Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to
make advances (each a "Revolving Credit Advance") to the Borrower from time to
time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the
Termination Date in an amount for each such Advance not to exceed such Lender's
Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Availability at such time. Each Revolving
Credit Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $2,500,000 or an integral
multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (other than a Borrowing the proceeds of
which shall be used solely to repay or prepay in full outstanding Letter of
Credit Advances) and shall consist of Revolving Credit Advances made
simultaneously by the Revolving Credit Lenders ratably according to their
Revolving Credit Commitments. Within the limits of each Revolving Credit
Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment in effect from time to time and subject to
the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Borrower may borrow under
this Section 2.1(c), prepay pursuant to Section 2.6(a) and reborrow under this
Section 2.1(c).
(d) Letters of Credit. Each Issuing Bank severally agrees, on
the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue (or cause its Affiliate
that is a commercial bank to issue on its behalf) letters of credit (the
"Letters of Credit") for the account of the Borrower from time to time on any
Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until 60 days before the
Termination Date in an aggregate Available Amount (i) for all Letters of Credit
issued by such Issuing Bank not to exceed at any time the lesser of (x) the
Letter of Credit Facility at such time and (y) such Issuing Bank's Letter of
Credit Commitment at such time and (ii) for each such Letter of Credit not to
exceed the Revolving Credit Availability at such time. No Letter of Credit shall
have an expiration date (including all rights of the Borrower or the beneficiary
to require renewal) later than the earlier of 60 days before the Termination
Date and (A) in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit, one year after the date
of issuance thereof, but may by its terms be renewable annually upon notice (a
"Notice of Renewal") given to the Issuing Bank that issued such Standby Letter
of Credit and the Administrative Agent on or prior to any date for notice of
renewal set forth in such Letter of Credit but in any event at least three
Business Days prior to the date of the proposed renewal of such Standby Letter
of Credit and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article
III unless such Issuing Bank has notified the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date for notice of termination set
forth in such Letter of Credit but in any event at least 30 Business Days prior
to the date of
32
34
automatic renewal of its election not to renew such Standby Letter of Credit (a
"Notice of Termination") and (B) in the case of a Trade Letter of Credit, 60
days after the date of issuance thereof; provided that the terms of each Standby
Letter of Credit that is automatically renewable annually shall (x) require the
Issuing Bank that issued such Standby Letter of Credit to give the beneficiary
named in such Standby Letter of Credit notice of any Notice of Termination, (y)
permit such beneficiary, upon receipt of such notice, to draw under such Standby
Letter of Credit prior to the date such Standby Letter of Credit otherwise would
have been automatically renewed and (z) not permit the expiration date (after
giving effect to any renewal) of such Standby Letter of Credit in any event to
be extended to a date later than 60 days before the Termination Date. If either
a Notice of Renewal is not given by the Borrower or a Notice of Termination is
given by the relevant Issuing Bank pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence, such Standby Letter of Credit shall expire on the date on which it
otherwise would have been automatically renewed; provided, however, that even in
the absence of receipt of a Notice of Renewal the relevant Issuing Bank may in
its discretion, unless instructed to the contrary by the Administrative Agent or
the Borrower, deem that a Notice of Renewal had been timely delivered and in
such case, a Notice of Renewal shall be deemed to have been so delivered for all
purposes under this Agreement. Within the limits of the Letter of Credit
Facility, and subject to the limits referred to above, the Borrower may request
the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section 2.1(d), repay any Letter of
Credit Advances resulting from drawings thereunder pursuant to Section 2.3(c)
and request the issuance of additional Letters of Credit under this Section
2.1(d).
SECTION 2.2. MAKING THE ADVANCES.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2(b) or 2.3,
each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New
York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed
Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or
the first Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case
of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Appropriate Lender prompt notice
thereof by telex or telecopier. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a "Notice of
Borrowing") shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or telex or
telecopier, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein
the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Facility under which such
Borrowing is to be made, (iii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iv)
aggregate amount of such Borrowing and (v) in the case of a Borrowing consisting
of Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each
Appropriate Lender shall, before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of
such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office
to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Account, in same day
funds, such Lender's ratable portion of such Borrowing in accordance with the
respective Commitments under the applicable Facility of such Lender and the
other Appropriate Lenders. After the Administrative Agent's receipt of such
funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article
III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower by
crediting the Borrower's Account; provided, however, that, in the case of any
Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall first make a portion
of such funds equal to the aggregate principal amount of any Letter of Credit
Advances made by any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and by any other
Revolving Credit Lender and outstanding on the date of such Revolving Credit
Borrowing, plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such date,
available to such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and such other Revolving
Credit Lenders for repayment of such Letter of Credit Advances.
33
35
(b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances (i) for
the Borrowing on the Initial Closing Date, (ii) for any Borrowing if the
aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $5,000,000 or (iii) if the
obligation of the Appropriate Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall
then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.9 or 2.10. In addition, the Revolving
Credit Advances may not be outstanding as part of more than 12 separate
Borrowings.
(c) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding
on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of
Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower
shall indemnify each Appropriate Lender against any loss, cost or expense
incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the
date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable
conditions set forth in Article III, including any loss (including loss of
anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the
Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance,
as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from an Appropriate Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such
Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's ratable
portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender
has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such
Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.2 and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such
Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the
Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay or
pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount
and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid or paid to the
Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate
applicable at such time under Section 2.7 to Advances comprising such Borrowing
and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender
shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so
paid shall constitute such Lender's Advance as part of such Borrowing for all
purposes.
(e) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made
by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its
obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing,
but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make
the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.
SECTION 2.3. ISSUANCE OF AND DRAWINGS AND REIMBURSEMENT UNDER
LETTERS OF CREDIT.
(a) Request for Issuance. Each Letter of Credit shall be
issued upon notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the
fifth Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of
Credit, by the Borrower to any Issuing Bank, which shall give to the
Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender prompt notice thereof by
telex or telecopier. Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a
"Notice of Issuance") shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing,
or telex or telecopier, specifying therein the requested (A) date of such
issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (B) Available Amount of such Letter of
Credit, (C) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (D) name and address of
the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (E) form of such Letter of Credit,
and shall be
34
36
accompanied by such application and agreement for letter of credit as such
Issuing Bank may specify to the Borrower for use in connection with such
requested Letter of Credit (a "Letter of Credit Agreement"). If (x) the
requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in
its sole discretion and (y) it has not received notice of objection to such
issuance from Lenders holding at least 50% of the Revolving Credit Commitments,
such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth
in Article III, make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at its
office referred to in Section 8.2 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrower in
connection with such issuance. In the event and to the extent that the
provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement,
the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
(b) Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish
(A) to the Administrative Agent on the first Business Day of each week a written
report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by
such Issuing Bank during the previous week and drawings during such week under
all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, (B) to each Revolving Credit
Lender on the first Business Day of each month a written report summarizing
issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank
during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of
Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and (C) to the Administrative Agent and each
Revolving Credit Lender on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter a
written report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during
the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing
Bank.
(c) Drawing and Reimbursement. The payment by any Issuing
Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all
purposes of this Agreement the making by such Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit
Advance, which shall be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft. Upon
written demand by any Issuing Bank with an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance,
with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Credit
Lender shall purchase from such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall sell
and assign to each such Revolving Credit Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of
such outstanding Letter of Credit Advance as of the date of such purchase, by
making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, by deposit to the
Administrative Agent's Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the
portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Letter of Credit Advance to
be purchased by such Lender. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative
Agent shall transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank. The Borrower hereby agrees
to each such sale and assignment. Each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to
purchase its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance on (i)
the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the Issuing Bank which made
such Advance, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 11:00
A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or (ii) the first Business Day
next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time.
Upon any such assignment by an Issuing Bank to any Revolving Credit Lender of a
portion of a Letter of Credit Advance, such Issuing Bank represents and warrants
to such other Lender that such Issuing Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of
such interest being assigned by it, free and clear of any liens, but makes no
other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to
such Letter of Credit Advance, the Loan Documents or any Loan Party. If and to
the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made the amount of
such Letter of Credit Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such
Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of
demand by such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the
Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its account or the account
of such Issuing
35
37
Bank, as applicable. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such
amount for the account of such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so
paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance made by
such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the
outstanding principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advance made by such
Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.
(d) Failure to Make Letter of Credit Advances. The failure of
any Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by it on the date
specified in Section 2.3(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation
hereunder to make its Letter of Credit Advance on such date, but no Lender shall
be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Letter of Credit
Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.
SECTION 2.4. REPAYMENT OF ADVANCES.
(a) Term B Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the
Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Term B Lenders the aggregate

an aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances
comprising part of the same Borrowings and the Letter of Credit Advances
equal to the amount by which (A) the sum of the aggregate principal
amount of (x) the Revolving Credit Advances and (y) the Letter of Credit
Advances then outstanding plus the aggregate Available Amount of all
Letters of Credit then outstanding exceeds (B) the lesser of the
Revolving Credit Facility and the Loan Value of Eligible Collateral on
such Business Day.
(iv) The Borrower shall, on each Business Day, pay to
the Administrative Agent for deposit in the L/C Collateral Account an
amount sufficient to cause the aggregate amount on deposit in such
Account to equal the amount by which the aggregate Available Amount of
all Letters of Credit then outstanding exceeds the Letter of Credit
Facility on such Business Day.
(v) Prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility made
pursuant to clause (iii) or (iv) above shall be first applied to prepay
Letter of Credit Advances then outstanding until such Advances are paid
in full and second applied to prepay Revolving Credit Advances then
outstanding comprising part of the same Borrowings until such Advances
are paid in full and third deposited in the L/C Collateral Account to
cash collateralize 100% of the Available Amount of the Letters of Credit
then outstanding. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which
funds are on deposit in the L/C Collateral Account, such funds shall be
applied to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank or Revolving Credit
Lenders, as applicable.
(vi) Anything contained in this Section 2.6(b) to the
contrary notwithstanding, (A) if, following the occurrence of any "Asset
Sale" (as such term is defined in any Indenture, if applicable) by any
Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, the Borrower is required to
commit by a particular date (a "Commitment Date") to apply or cause its
Subsidiaries to apply an amount equal to any of the "Net Proceeds" (as
such term is defined in such Indenture, if applicable) thereof in a
particular manner, or to apply by a particular date (an "Application
Date") an amount equal to any such "Net Proceeds" in a particular
manner, in either case in order to excuse the Borrower from being
required to make an "Asset Sale Offer" (as such term is defined in such
Indenture, if applicable) in connection with such "Asset Sale," and the
Borrower shall have failed to so commit or to so apply an amount equal
to such "Net Proceeds" at least 60 days before the applicable Commitment
Date or Application Date, as the case may be, or (B) if the Borrower at
any other time shall have failed to apply or commit or cause to be
applied an amount equal to any such "Net Proceeds," and, within 60 days
thereafter assuming no further application or commitment of an amount
equal to such "Net Proceeds" the Borrower would otherwise be required to
make an "Asset Sale Offer" in respect thereof, then in either such case
the Borrower shall immediately apply or cause to be applied an amount
equal to
39
41
such "Net Proceeds" to the payment of the Advances in the manner set
forth in Section 2.6(b)(ii) in such amounts as shall excuse the Borrower
from making any such "Asset Sale Offer."
(vii) All prepayments under this subsection (b) shall
be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on
the principal amount prepaid.
(c) Application. Each prepayment under the Term B Facility
will be applied to remaining installments of the Term B Advances under Section
2.4(a) on a pro rata basis.
SECTION 2.7. INTEREST.
(a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on
the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender from the date
of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the
following rates per annum:
(i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such
Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to
the sum of (A) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (B) the
Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears
quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December
during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be
Converted or paid in full.
(ii) Eurodollar Rate Advances. During such periods as
such Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all
times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (A) the
Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance plus (B) the
Applicable Margin in effect on the first day of such Interest Period,
payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such
Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day
that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the
first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Eurodollar Rate
Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.
(b) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the
request of the Required Lenders shall, require that the Borrower pay interest on
(i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender, payable in
arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and on
demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate
per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i) or
(a)(ii) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any
interest, fee or other amount payable under the Loan Documents that is not paid
when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid
in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on
demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate
per annum required to be paid, in the case of interest, on the Type of Advance
on which such interest has accrued pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above
and, in all other cases, on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above,
provided, however, that, following acceleration of the advances pursuant to
Section 6.1, interest shall accrue and be payable at the rate required by this
Section 2.7(b) whether or not requested by the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders.
(c) Notice of Interest Rate. Promptly after receipt of a
Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2(a), a notice of Conversion pursuant
to Section 2.9 or a notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the
terms of the definition of "Interest Period," the Administrative Agent shall
give notice to the Borrower and each Appropriate Lender of the
40
42
applicable Interest Period and the applicable interest rate determined by the
Administrative Agent for purposes of clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above.
SECTION 2.8. FEES.
(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders a commitment fee, from the
Effective Date in the case of each Initial Lender and from the effective date
specified in the Assumption Agreement or in the Assignment and Acceptance
pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the
Termination Date, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March,
June, September and December, commencing March 31, 2001, and on the Termination
Date, at the rate of 1/2 of 1% per annum on the actual daily Unused Revolving
Credit Commitment of such Lender; provided, however, that any commitment fee
accrued with respect to any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the
period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at
such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a
Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise
have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided
further that no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Commitments of a
Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.
(b) Letter of Credit Fees, Etc.
(i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commission,
payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June,
September and December, commencing March 31, 2001, and on the earliest
to occur of the full drawing, expiration, termination or cancellation of
any Letter of Credit and on the Termination Date, on such Lender's Pro
Rata Share of the actual daily aggregate Available Amount during such
quarter of all Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time at the
rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for
Revolving Credit Advances that are Eurodollar Rate Advances (including
default interest, if any).
(ii) The Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for
its own account, (A) a fronting fee, payable in arrears quarterly on the
last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing March
31, 2001, and on the Termination Date, on the average daily amount of
its Letter of Credit Commitment during such quarter, from the Effective
Date until the Termination Date, at the rate of 0.25% per annum and an
issuance fee for each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank in an
amount equal to 0.25% of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit
on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, payable on such date;
provided that, in no event shall such issuance fee be less than $500,
(B) such other commissions, transfer fees and other fees and charges in
connection with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit
as the Borrower and such Issuing Bank shall agree.
(iii) Agents' Fees. The Borrower shall pay to each
Agent for its own account such fees as may from time to time be agreed
between the Borrower and such Agent.
SECTION 2.9. CONVERSION OF ADVANCES.
(a) Optional. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon
notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York
City time) on the third Business
41
43
Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions
of Section 2.10, Convert all or any portion of the Advances of one Type
comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; provided,
however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances
shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar
Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate
Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in
Section 2.2(b), no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate
Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.2(b) and each Conversion of Advances
comprising part of the same Borrowing under any Facility shall be made ratably
among the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their Commitments under such
Facility. Each such notice of Conversion shall, within the restrictions
specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to
be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the
duration of the initial Interest Period for such Advances. Each notice of
Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.
(b) Mandatory.
(i) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing
shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than
$2,500,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate
Advances.
(ii) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration
of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance
with the provisions contained in the definition of "Interest Period" in
Section 1.1, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the
Borrower and the Appropriate Lenders, whereupon each such Eurodollar
Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing
Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance.
(iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
a Default under Section 6.1(a) or 6.1(f) or any Event of Default, (x)
each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the
then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance
and (y) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances
into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.
SECTION 2.10. INCREASED COSTS, ETC.
(a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change
in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with
any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority
(whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the
cost to any Lender Party of agreeing to make or of making, funding or
maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or
maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit or of agreeing to make or of
making or maintaining Letter of Credit Advances (excluding, for purposes of this
Section 2.10, any such increased costs resulting from (x) Taxes or Other Taxes
(as to which Section 2.12 shall govern) and (y) changes in the basis of taxation
of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the
foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender Party is
organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision
thereof), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender
Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost. A
42
44
certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower
by such Lender Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.
(b) If any Lender Party determines that compliance with any
law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would
affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such
Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party and that the
amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such
Lender Party's commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of
Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or the issuance or
maintenance of or participation in the Letters of Credit (or similar contingent
obligations), then, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand
to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as specified by such
Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in
the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably
determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such
Lender Party's commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of
Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of or participation in any
Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower by
such Lender Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.
(c) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances under
any Facility, Lenders owed at least 50% of the then aggregate unpaid principal
amount thereof notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any
Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such
Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Advances for
such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the
Borrower and the Appropriate Lenders, whereupon (i) each such Eurodollar Rate
Advance under such Facility will automatically, on the last day of the then
existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the
obligation of the Appropriate Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into,
Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances
causing such suspension no longer exist.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if
the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental
authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar
Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate
Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder,
then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower
through the Administrative Agent, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance under each
Facility under which such Lender has a Commitment will automatically, upon such
demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the
Appropriate Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate
Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such
suspension no longer exist.
SECTION 2.11. PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS.
(a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under
the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as
otherwise provided in Section 2.15), not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City
time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Administrative Agent at the
Administrative Agent's Account in same day funds, with payments being received
by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received
43
45
on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent will promptly
thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the
Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other
Obligation then payable hereunder and under the Notes to more than one Lender
Party, to such Lender Parties for the account of their respective Applicable
Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective
Obligations then payable to such Lender Parties and (ii) if such payment by the
Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender
Party, to such Lender Party for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in
each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its
acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information
contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.7(d), from and after the
effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall
make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest
assigned thereby to the Lender Party assignee thereunder, and the parties to
such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such
payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.
(b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender Party, if and
to the extent payment owed to such Lender Party is not made when due hereunder
or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from
time to time against any or all of the Borrower's accounts with such Lender
Party any amount so due.
(c) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall
be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days,
as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar
Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions
shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in
each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding
the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or
commissions are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an
interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error.
(d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall
be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be
made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in
such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment
fee or Letter of Credit fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if
such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar
Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment
shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any
Lender Party hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full
to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party
on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party. If
and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to
the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender
Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such
amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.
(f) If the Administrative Agent receives funds for
application to the Obligations under the Loan Documents under circumstances for
which the Loan Documents do
44
46
not specify the Advances or the Facility to which, or the manner in which, such
funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each Lender Party ratably in
accordance with such Lender Party's proportionate share of the principal amount
of all outstanding Advances and the Available Amount of all Letters of Credit
then outstanding, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Advances
or other Obligations owed to such Lender Party, and for application to such
principal installments, as the Administrative Agent shall direct.
SECTION 2.12. TAXES.
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all payments
by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with
Section 2.11, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender Party
and each Agent, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income by the United
States and taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes
imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of
which such Lender Party or such Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any
political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender Party, taxes that
are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu
thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender Party's Applicable
Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in
respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to
as "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from
or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender Party
or any Agent, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be
necessary so that after the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have made all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 2.12) such Lender Party or such Agent, as the case may be,
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make all such deductions and (iii)
the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future
stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that
arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to,
this Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").
(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower shall
indemnify each Lender Party and each Agent for and hold them harmless against
the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes of
any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.12,
imposed on or paid by such Lender Party or such Agent (as the case may be) and
any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses,
except to the extent that such penalties, additions, interest and expenses
accrue as a result of the failure of the relevant Lender Party or Agent to
demand payment from the Borrower within 30 days of it becoming aware of the
circumstances which entitle it to make such demand) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date
such Lender Party or such Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand
therefor.
(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes,
the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred
to in Section 8.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such
payment. In the case of any payment hereunder or
45
47
under the Notes by or on behalf of the Borrower through an account or branch
outside the United States or by or on behalf of the Borrower by a payor that is
not a United States person, if the Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable
in respect thereof, the Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to
furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel
acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from
Taxes. For purposes of subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 2.12, the terms
"United States" and "United States person" shall have the meanings specified in
Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(e) Each Lender Party organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its
execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender or
Initial Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and on the date of the Assignment and
Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender Party in the case of each other
Lender Party, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the
Borrower (but only so long thereafter as such Lender Party remains lawfully able
to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two
original Internal Revenue Service forms W-8ECI or W-8BEN (and, if such Lender
Party delivers a form W-8BEN, a certificate representing that such Lender Party
is not a "bank" for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, is
not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the
Internal Revenue Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign
corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of
the Internal Revenue Code)), as appropriate, or any successor or other form
prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender Party is
exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on
payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes or, in the case of a Lender
Party providing a form W-8BEN, certifying that such Lender Party is a foreign
corporation, partnership, estate or trust. If the forms provided by a Lender
Party at the time such Lender Party first becomes a party to this Agreement
indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero,
withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and
until such Lender Party provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser
rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be
considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms; provided,
however, that if, at the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance
pursuant to which a Lender Party becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender
Party assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) of this Section
2.12 in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid
at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to
withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise
includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with
respect to the Lender Party assignee on such date. If any form or document
referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other
than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required
on the Effective Date by Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or the
related certificate described above), that the Lender Party reasonably considers
to be confidential, the Lender Party shall give notice thereof to the Borrower
and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential
information.
(f) For any period with respect to which a Lender Party has
failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in subsection
(e) above (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after
the date on which a form originally was required to be provided or if such form
otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such Lender Party shall
not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section
2.12 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such
failure; provided, however, that should a Lender Party become subject to Taxes
because of its failure to deliver a form required
46
48
hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender Party shall
reasonably request to assist such Lender Party to recover such Taxes.
(g) Any Lender Party claiming any additional amounts payable
pursuant to this Section 2.12 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with
its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the
jurisdiction of its Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a change
would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts
that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such
Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party.
(h) The Borrower may replace any Lender Party that has
requested additional amounts from such Borrower under this Section 2.12, by
written notice to such Lender Party and the Administrative Agent and identifying
one or more persons each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent (each, a "Replacement Lender Party," and collectively, the
"Replacement Lender Parties") to replace such Lender Party (the "Replaced Lender
Party"); provided that (i) the notice from such Borrower to the Replaced Lender
Party and the Administrative Agent provided for hereinabove shall specify an
effective date for such replacement (the "Replacement Effective Date"), which
shall be at least five (5) Business Days after such notice is given and (ii) as
of the relevant Replacement Effective Date, each Replacement Lender Party shall
enter into an Assignment and Acceptance with the Replaced Lender Party pursuant
to Section 8.7(a) (but shall not be required to pay the processing fee otherwise
payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.7(a)), pursuant to
which such Replacement Lender Parties collectively shall acquire, in such
proportion among them as they may agree with such Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, all (but not less than all) of the Commitments and
outstanding Advances of the Replaced Lender Party, and, in connection therewith,
shall pay to the Replaced Lender Party, as the purchase price in respect
thereof, an amount equal to the sum as of the Replacement Effective Date,
without duplication, of (x) the unpaid principal amount of, and all accrued but
unpaid interest on, all outstanding Advances of the Replaced Lender Party and
(y) the Replaced Lender Party's ratable share of all accrued but unpaid fees
owing to the Replaced Lender Party hereunder.
SECTION 2.13. SHARING OF PAYMENTS, ETC. If any Lender Party shall
obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the
exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an
assignment pursuant to Section 8.7) (a) on account of Obligations due and
payable to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes at such time in
excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of
such Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the
aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties
hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the
Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes
at such time obtained by all the Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account
of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender Party hereunder
and under the Notes at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to
the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender Party
at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due
and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time)
of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all
Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all of the
Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from the
other Lender Parties such interests or participating interests in the
Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be
necessary to cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the excess payment
ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such
excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party, such
purchase from each other Lender
47
49
Party shall be rescinded and such other Lender Party shall repay to the
purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such Lender Party's
ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to
such Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender
Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender Party's
ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other
Lender Party's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered; provided
further that, so long as the Obligations under the Loan Documents shall not have
been accelerated, any excess payment received by any Appropriate Lender shall be
shared on a pro rata basis only with other Appropriate Lenders. The Borrower
agrees that any Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating interest
from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right
of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest as fully as
if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of
such interest or participating interest.
SECTION 2.14. USE OF PROCEEDS. The Revolving Credit Advances and
the issuances of the Letters of Credit from and after the Effective Date shall
be made available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use the proceeds
thereof and such Letters of Credit) for general corporate purposes of the
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent permitted under this
Agreement.
SECTION 2.15 DEFAULTING LENDERS.
(a) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party
shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted
Advance to the Borrower and (iii) the Borrower shall be required to make any
payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such
Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, so long as no Default shall occur or
be continuing at such time and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, set off and otherwise apply the Obligation of the Borrower to make such
payment to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender against the obligation
of such Defaulting Lender to make such Defaulted Advance. In the event that, on
any date, the Borrower shall so set off and otherwise apply its obligation to
make any such payment against the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make
any such Defaulted Advance on or prior to such date, the amount so set off and
otherwise applied by the Borrower shall constitute for all purposes of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents an Advance by such Defaulting Lender made
on the date of such setoff under the Facility pursuant to which such Defaulted
Advance was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.1. Such
Advance shall be considered, for all purposes of this Agreement, to comprise
part of the Borrowing in connection with which such Defaulted Advance was
originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.1, even if the other
Advances comprising such Borrowing shall be Eurodollar Rate Advances on the date
such Advance is deemed to be made pursuant to this subsection (a). The Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent at any time the Borrower exercises its
right of set-off pursuant to this subsection (a) and shall set forth in such
notice (A) the name of the Defaulting Lender and the Defaulted Advance required
to be made by such Defaulting Lender and (B) the amount set off and otherwise
applied in respect of such Defaulted Advance pursuant to this subsection (a).
Any portion of such payment otherwise required to be made by the Borrower to or
for the account of such Defaulting Lender which is paid by the Borrower, after
giving effect to the amount set off and otherwise applied by the Borrower
pursuant to this subsection (a), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as
specified in subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 2.15.
48
50
(b) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party
shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted
Amount to any Agent or any of the other Lender Parties and (iii) the Borrower
shall make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the
Administrative Agent may, on its behalf or on behalf of such other Agents or
such other Lender Parties and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
apply at such time the amount so paid by the Borrower to or for the account of
such Defaulting Lender to the payment of each such Defaulted Amount to the
extent required to pay such Defaulted Amount. In the event that the
Administrative Agent shall so apply any such amount to the payment of any such
Defaulted Amount on any date, the amount so applied by the Administrative Agent
shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
payment, to such extent, of such Defaulted Amount on such date. Any such amount
so applied by the Administrative Agent shall be retained by the Administrative
Agent or distributed by the Administrative Agent to such other Agents or such
other Lender Parties, ratably in accordance with the respective portions of such
Defaulted Amounts payable at such time to the Administrative Agent, such other
Agents and such other Lender Parties and, if the amount of such payment made by
the Borrower shall at such time be insufficient to pay all Defaulted Amounts
owing at such time to the Administrative Agent, such other Agents and such other
Lender Parties, in the following order of priority:
(i) first, to the Administrative Agent for any
Defaulted Amounts then owing to the Administrative Agent, ratably in
accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to
Administrative Agent;
(ii) second, to the Issuing Banks for any Defaulted
Amounts then owing to them, in their capacities as such, ratably in
accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to such
Issuing Banks; and
(iii) third, to any other Lender Parties for any
Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Lender Parties, ratably in
accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to such
other Lender Parties.
Any portion of such amount paid by the Borrower for the account of such
Defaulting Lender remaining, after giving effect to the amount applied by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection (b), shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (c) of this Section 2.15.
(c) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party
shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall not owe a
Defaulted Advance or a Defaulted Amount and (iii) the Borrower, any Agent or any
other Lender Party shall be required to pay or distribute any amount hereunder
or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting
Lender, then the Borrower or such Agent or such other Lender Party shall pay
such amount to the Administrative Agent to be held by the Administrative Agent,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in escrow or the
Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
hold in escrow such amount otherwise held by it. Any funds held by the
Administrative Agent in escrow under this subsection (c) shall be deposited by
the Administrative Agent in an account with Citibank, in the name and under the
control of the Administrative Agent, but subject to the provisions of this
subsection (c). The terms applicable to such account, including the rate of
interest payable with respect to the credit balance of such account from time to
time, shall be Citibank's standard terms applicable to escrow accounts
maintained with it. Any interest credited to such account from time to time
shall be held by the Administrative Agent in escrow under, and applied by the
Administrative Agent from time to
49
51
time in accordance with the provisions of, this subsection (c). The
Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
apply all funds so held in escrow from time to time to the extent necessary to
make any Advances required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and to pay any
amount payable by such Defaulting Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, as and when
such Advances or amounts are required to be made or paid and, if the amount so
held in escrow shall at any time be insufficient to make and pay all such
Advances and amounts required to be made or paid at such time, in the following
order of priority:
(i) first, to the Administrative Agent for any
amounts then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent hereunder, ratably in accordance with such amounts
then due and payable to the Administrative Agent;
(ii) second, to the Issuing Banks for any amounts then
due and payable to them hereunder, in their capacities as such, by such
Defaulting Lender, ratably in accordance with such amounts then due and
payable to such Issuing Banks;
(iii) third, to any other Lender Parties for any amount
then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender to such other Lender
Parties hereunder, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts
then due and payable to such other Lender Parties; and
(iv) fourth, to the Borrower for any Advance then
required to be made by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to a Commitment
of such Defaulting Lender.
In the event that any Lender Party that is a Defaulting Lender shall, at any
time, cease to be a Defaulting Lender, any funds held by the Administrative
Agent in escrow at such time with respect to such Lender Party shall be
distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Lender Party and applied by such
Lender Party to the Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents ratably in accordance with the
respective amounts of such Obligations outstanding at such time.
(d) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under
this Section 2.15 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower
may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Advance
and that any Agent or any Lender Party may have against such Defaulting Lender
with respect to any Defaulted Amount.
SECTION 2.16. EVIDENCE OF DEBT.
(a) The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the
Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect
that a Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence
(whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing
to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and
deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a principal
amount up to the Commitment of such Lender. Each Lender that does not receive a
Note pursuant to the preceding sentence shall maintain in accordance with its
usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the
Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from
time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid
to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of such Advances.
(b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 8.7(d) shall include a control account and a subsidiary
account for each Lender, in which
50
52
accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each
Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if
appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of
any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender's share
thereof.
(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in
the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account
or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of
the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and
payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in
the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent
manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent
or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in
the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the
obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.
(d) Any reference to a Note or Notes made in this Agreement
shall be a reference to a Note or Notes only to the extent such Note or Notes
have been requested and issued pursuant to subsection (a) above.
SECTION 2.17. INCREASE IN THE AGGREGATE COMMITMENTS.
(a) The Borrower may, at any time prior to the Termination
Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request the addition of a new
facility pursuant to an increase in the Commitments (each, a "Commitment
Increase") equal to $50,000,000 (or an integral multiple of $10,000,000 in
excess thereof) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to
the scheduled Termination Date then in effect (the "Increase Date") as specified
in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (i)
in no event shall the aggregate amount of all of the Commitment Increases exceed
$100,000,000, (ii) on the date of any request by the Borrower for a Commitment
Increase and on the related Increase Date, the applicable conditions set forth
in Section 3.2 and in clause (d) of this Section 2.17 shall be satisfied, (iii)
the Borrower will only be able to make one request hereunder, (iv) the final
maturity of the Advances and Commitments under any such new facility shall be no
shorter than the final maturity of the Term B Facility and (v) such new facility
shall contain other terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Agents.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Lenders of a request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase, which notice
shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase,
(ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to
participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount
of their respective Commitments (the "Commitment Date"). Each Lender that is
willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase (each an "Increasing
Lender") shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which
it is willing to increase its Commitment. If the Lenders notify the
Administrative Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their
respective Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the
requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be
allocated among the Lenders willing to participate therein in such amounts as
are agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(c) Promptly following the Commitment Date, the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by
which the Lenders are willing to participate
51
53
in the requested Commitment Increase. If the aggregate amount by which the
Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase on any
such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment Increase, then the
Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in
any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to
by the Lenders as of the Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Commitment
of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of $2,500,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
(d) On the Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts
an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with
Section 2.17(c) (each such Eligible Assignee, an "Assuming Lender") shall become
a Lender party to this Agreement as of the Increase Date and the Commitment of
each Increasing Lender for such Commitment Increase shall be so increased by
such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last
sentence of Section 2.17(b)) as of the Increase Date; provided, however, that
the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before the Increase Date the
following, each dated such date:
(i) (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board
of Directors of the Borrower approving the Commitment Increase and the
corresponding modifications to this Agreement and (B) an opinion of
counsel for the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel), in a form
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;
(ii) an assumption agreement from each Assuming
Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent (each an "Assumption Agreement"), duly executed
by such Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower;
and
(iii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the
increase in the amount of its Commitment in a writing satisfactory to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
On the Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.17(d), the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Lenders (including each Assuming Lender) and the Borrower, on
or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by telecopier or telex, of the
occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on the Increase Date and
shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each
Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date.

Loan Party to any Agent or any Lender Party in connection with the negotiation
of the Loan Documents or pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents contained

necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading; provided, however,
that to the extent that any such statement constitutes a projection of future

THE AGENTS
SECTION 7.1. AUTHORIZATION AND ACTION. Each Lender Party (in its
capacities as a Lender, an Issuing Bank (if applicable) and on behalf of itself
and its Affiliates as potential Hedge Banks) hereby appoints and authorizes each
Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and
discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to
such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and
discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly
provided for by the Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection of the
Notes), no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any
action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be
fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of
the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lender
Parties and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that no Agent shall be
required to take any action that exposes such Agent to personal liability or
that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. Each Agent agrees to give
to each Lender Party prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an
Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Lender that is the payee of such
Note, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, or, in the case of any
other Agent, such Agent has received notice from the Administrative Agent that
it has received and accepted such Assignment and Acceptance, in each case as
provided in Section 8.7; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel
for any Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected
by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in
good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or
experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender Party and shall
not be responsible to any Lender Party for any statements, warranties or
representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan
Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the
performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any
Loan Document on the part of any Loan Party or to inspect the property
(including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (e) shall not be
responsible to any Lender Party for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or
priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created
under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant thereto; and (f) shall incur no liability under or
in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate
or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy or telex)
believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
SECTION 7.3. CUSA, SSBI, DBAB AND THEIR AFFILIATES. With respect
to its Commitments, the Advances made by it and the Notes issued to it, each of
CUSA, SSBI and DBAB shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan
Documents as any other Lender Party and may exercise the same as though it were
not an Agent; and the term "Lender Party" or "Lender Parties" shall, unless
otherwise expressly indicated, include CUSA, SSBI and DBAB in their respective
individual capacities. CUSA, SSBI and DBAB and their respective affiliates may
84
86
accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept
investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business
with, any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business
with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Subsidiary, all as if CUSA,
SSBI and DBAB were not Agents and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lender Parties.
SECTION 7.4. LENDER PARTY CREDIT DECISION. Each Lender Party
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or
any other Lender Party and based on the financial statements referred to in
Section 4.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender Party and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement.
SECTION 7.5. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify each
Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against
such Lender Party's ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to
or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such
Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, the "Indemnified Costs");
provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent's gross negligence or
willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party
agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any
costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the
Borrower under Section 8.4, to the extent that such Agent is not promptly
reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any
investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs,
this Section 7.5 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or
proceeding is brought by any Lender Party or any other Person.
(b) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify each
Issuing Bank (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and
against such Lender Party's ratable share (determined as provided below) of any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Issuing
Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action
taken or omitted by such Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents; provided,
however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Issuing Bank's gross
negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by
a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each
Lender Party agrees to reimburse such Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its
ratable share of any costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel)
payable by the Borrower under Section 8.4, to the extent that such Issuing Bank
is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower.
(c) For purposes of this Section 7.5, the Lender Parties'
respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time,
according to the sum of (i) the aggregate
85
87
principal amount of the Advances outstanding at such time and owing to the
respective Lender Parties, (ii) their respective Pro Rata Shares of the
aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time and
(iii) their respective Unused Revolving Credit Commitments at such time;
provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of Letter of Credit
Advances owing to any Issuing Bank shall be considered to be owed to the
Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving
Credit Commitments. The failure of any Lender Party to reimburse any Agent or
any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share
of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Parties to such Agent or such
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other
Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent or such Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender
Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to
reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other
Lender Party's ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival
of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and
obligations of each Lender Party contained in this Section 7.5 shall survive the
payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 7.6. SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND COLLATERAL
AGENT.
(a) The Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may
resign as to any or all of the Facilities at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Lender Parties and the Borrower and may be removed as to all of
the Facilities and any of the Collateral at any time with or without cause by
the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders
shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or a
successor Collateral Agent to such of the Facilities and/or such of the
Collateral as to which such Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent has
resigned or been removed. If no successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral
Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have
accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative
Agent's and/or Collateral Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the
Required Lenders' removal of the retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral
Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent and/or the retiring Collateral
Agent may respectively, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent and a successor Collateral Agent, which in each case shall
be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any
State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent
and/or Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent as to all
of the Facilities and/or Collateral Agent as to any of the Collateral, and upon
the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or
amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and
such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the
Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens
granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, such successor
Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall succeed to and become vested
with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (as the case may be), and the retiring
Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations under the Loan Documents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment
as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor
Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent as to less than all of the
Facilities or less than all of the Collateral and upon the execution and filing
or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such
amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or
notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may
request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported
to be granted by the Collateral Documents, such
86
88
successor Administrative Agent and/or successor Collateral Agent shall succeed
to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and
duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent as to such
Facilities and Collateral, other than with respect to funds transfers and other
similar aspects of the administration of Borrowings under such Facilities,
issuances of Letters of Credit (notwithstanding any resignation as
Administrative Agent with respect to the Letter of Credit Facility) and payments
by the Borrower in respect of such Facilities, and the retiring Administrative
Agent and/or the retiring Collateral Agent (as the case may be) shall be
discharged from its respective duties and obligations under this Agreement as to
such Facilities and/or Collateral, other than as aforesaid. If, within 45 days
after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent's and/or
Collateral Agent's resignation or removal under this Section 7.6, no successor
Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall have been appointed and shall
have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring
Administrative Agent's and/or Collateral Agent's resignation or removal shall
become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent
shall thereupon be discharged from its respective duties and obligations under
the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all
duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent under the
Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent as provided above. After
any retiring Administrative Agent's and/or retiring Collateral Agent's
resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent as to all of the
Facilities and/or Collateral Agent as to all the Collateral shall have become
effective, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent
as to any Facilities under this Agreement and/or while it was Collateral Agent
as to any of the Collateral.
(b) The Lender Parties hereby acknowledge, ratify and
consent to the transactions contemplated in the Assignment and Release
Agreement, including (i) the retirement of the Existing Administrative Agent and
the Existing Collateral Agent, (ii) the appointments of CUSA, as successor
Administrative Agent and as successor Collateral Agent, (iii) the release

the provisions of this Article VII inuring to the benefit of SG and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
Securities Inc. (as provided in Section 7.6(a)).

Party") from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and
expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be
incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case
arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including in connection

Agreement), the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the

contemplated thereby or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous
Materials on any property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any

jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or
willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other
proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 8.4(b) applies, such indemnity
shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding
is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an
Indemnified Party or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and
whether or not the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents are
consummated. The Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim against any Agent,
any Lender Party or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of
liability, for indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or
otherwise relating to the Facilities, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds

91
(c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any
Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a
Lender Party other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance,
as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.6, 2.9(b)(i) or
2.10(d), acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.1 or
for any other reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender Party other than on
the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance upon an assignment of
rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.7 as a result
of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.7(a), or if the Borrower fails
to make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for which a notice of prepayment
has been given or that is otherwise required to be made, whether pursuant to
Section 2.4, 2.6 or 6.1 or otherwise, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such
Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party any amounts
required to compensate such Lender Party for any additional losses, costs or
expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion
or such failure to pay or prepay, as the case may be, including any loss
(including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of
the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any
Lender Party to fund or maintain such Advance.
(d) If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs,
expenses or other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including fees
and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of
such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, in its sole
discretion.
(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement
of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the agreements and
obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 2.10 and 2.12 and this Section
8.4 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other
amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 8.5. RIGHT OF SET-OFF. Upon (a) the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request
or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.1 to authorize the
Administrative Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the
provisions of Section 6.1, each Agent and each Lender Party and each of their
respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time
held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Agent, such Lender Party
or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against
any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under
the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether such Agent or such Lender Party
shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note or Notes and
although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Agent and each Lender Party
agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application;
provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Agent and each
Lender Party and their respective Affiliates under this Section 8.5 are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that
such Agent, such Lender Party and their respective Affiliates may have.
SECTION 8.6. BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and each Agent and
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender and
each Initial Issuing Bank that such Initial Lender and such Initial Issuing Bank
has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Borrower, each Agent and each Lender Party and their respective successors
and
90
92
assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights
hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lender
Parties.
SECTION 8.7. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS. (a) Each Lender may
and, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if demanded by
the Borrower (following a demand by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.10 or
2.12) upon at least five Business Days' notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, will assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note
or Notes held by it to the extent requested pursuant to Section 2.16(a));
provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not
a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any
or all Facilities, provided, however, that nothing in this clause (i) shall
prevent a Lender from assigning an interest in a single Facility if such Lender
has an interest in more than one Facility, (ii) except in the case of an
assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender,
an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of
all of a Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate
amount of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to
such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with
respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $2,500,000 and shall
be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof under each Facility
for which a Commitment is being assigned, (iii) each such assignment shall be to
an Eligible Assignee, (iv) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by
the Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.7(a) shall be arranged by the Borrower
after consultation with the Administrative Agent and shall be either an
assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under
this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made
concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that
together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under
this Agreement, (v) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as
a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.7(a) unless and
until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the
Borrower or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal
to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such
Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such
principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this
Agreement, (vi) no such assignments shall be permitted without the consent of
the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent (such consents not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (vii) the parties to each such assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and
recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note
or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500 (except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or any Affiliate of a
Lender or any Approved Fund and except for any assignment by either Syndication
Agent or any other of their respective Affiliates); provided, however, that for
each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to
this Section 8.7(a), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the
applicable processing and recordation fee.
(b) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording,
from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance,
(i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or Issuing Bank
assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder
have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish
its rights (other than its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 8.4 to the
extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to
91
93
such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and,
in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining
portion of an assigning Lender's or Issuing Bank's rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).
(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and
Acceptance, each Lender Party assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder
confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as
follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such
assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations
made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the
perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to
be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender
Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or

or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such
assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with
copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.1 and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such
assignee will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, such assigning
Lender Party or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such
assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints
and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to
exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to
such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and
discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees
that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that
by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender or
Issuing Bank, as the case may be.
(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose (but
only for this purpose) as the agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its
address referred to in Section 8.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names
and addresses of the Lender Parties and the Commitment under each Facility of,
and principal amount of the Advances owing under each Facility to, each Lender
Party from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the
Borrower, the Agents and the Lender Parties shall treat each Person whose name
is recorded in the Register as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any
Agent or any Lender Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.
(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance
executed by an assigning Lender Party and an assignee, together with any Note or
Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such
Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of
Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the
information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice
thereof to the Borrower and each other Agent. In the case of any assignment by a
Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the
Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a
92
94
new Note (to the extent requested pursuant to Section 2.16(a)) to the order of
such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under
each Facility pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning
Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder under such Facility, a new Note (to
the extent requested pursuant to Section 2.16(a)) to the order of such assigning
Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new
Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective
date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially
the form of Exhibit A-1 or A-2 hereto, as the case may be.
(f) Each Issuing Bank may assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the undrawn
portion of its Letter of Credit Commitment at any time; provided, however,
that(i) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that immediately prior
to such assignment was an Issuing Bank or an assignment of all of an Issuing
Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Letter of
Credit Commitment of the assigning Issuing Bank being assigned pursuant to each
such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with
respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $2,500,000 and shall
be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) each such
assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and (iii) the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its

Persons (other than any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes (if
any) held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender Party's obligations
under this Agreement (including its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii)
such Lender Party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender Party shall remain
the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the
Borrower, the Agents and the other Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely
and directly with such Lender Party in connection with such Lender Party's
rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any
such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of
any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan
Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent
would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes, or any fees or other
amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such
participation, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or
interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each
case to the extent subject to such participation, or release all or
substantially all of the Collateral.
(h) Any Lender Party may, in connection with any assignment
or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this
Section 8.7, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender
Party by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any
such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant
shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information
received by it from such Lender Party.
(i) In addition to the assignment mechanics set forth in
Sections 8.7(a) through (f), any Lender Party, (a "Granting Lender") may grant
to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to
time by the Granting Lender to the
93
95
Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an "SPC") the option to provide all or
any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated
to make pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall
constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Advance, and (ii) if an SPC
elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of
such Advance, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Advance
pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of an Advance by an SPC hereunder shall
utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if,
such Advance were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees
that (i) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation
under this Agreement for which a Lender Party would otherwise be liable and (ii)
no SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.12 (or any other
increased costs protection provision). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior
consent of, the Borrower, the Syndication Agent and the Administrative Agent and
with the payment of a processing fee of $500, assign all or any portion of its
interest in any Advance to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a
confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of
Advances to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety
or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This subsection
8.7(h) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting
Lender, all or any part of whose Advances are being funded by the SPC at the
time of such amendment. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Agents,
the other Lender Parties and the Borrower, the Granting Lender shall for all
purposes, including the approval of any amendment or waiver of any provision of
any Loan Document or the obligation to pay any amount otherwise payable by the
Granting Lender under the Loan Documents, be the Lender Party of record
hereunder.
(j) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this
Agreement, any Lender Party may at any time create a security interest in all or
any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including the Advances owing to
it and the Note or Notes held by it, if any) in favor of any Federal Reserve
Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System.
(k) Any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans may
pledge all or any portion of the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes, if
any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities
issued, by such fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided,
that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with
the other provisions of this Section 8.7, (i) no such pledge shall release the
pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii)
such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender
under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership
rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.
SECTION 8.8. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of an original executed
counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.9. NO LIABILITY OF THE ISSUING BANKS. The Borrower
assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of
any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither
any Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or
responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any
acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b)
the validity, sufficiency
94
96
or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such
documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of
documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including
failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the
Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing
to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower shall have
a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to the
Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered
by the Borrower that the Borrower proves were caused by (i) such Issuing Bank's
willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents
presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of
Credit or (ii) such Issuing Bank's willful failure to make lawful payment under
a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates or
other document strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of
Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Bank
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.
SECTION 8.10. CONFIDENTIALITY. Neither any Agent nor any Lender
Party shall disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the
consent of the Borrower, other than (a) to such Agent's or such Lender Party's
Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, to
Approved Funds and to actual or prospective Eligible Assignees and participants,
and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or
regulation or judicial process, (c) as requested or required by any state,
federal or foreign authority or examiner, including the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or quasi-regulatory
authority regulating such Lender Party, (d) to any rating agency when required
by it, provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall
undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information
relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender Party and (e) to
any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such
contractual counterparty's professional advisor (so long as such contractual
counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to
be bound by the provisions of this Section 8.10).
SECTION 8.11. RELEASE OF COLLATERAL. Upon the sale, lease,
transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Loan Party in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent will, at
the Borrower's expense, execute and deliver to such Loan Party such documents as
such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of
Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the
Collateral Documents in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
SECTION 8.12. JURISDICTION, ETC.
(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States
of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof,
in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to
the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto
agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or
in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any
right that any party may otherwise have to bring any
95
97
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do
so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or
federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
SECTION 8.13. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and the Notes shall
be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York.
SECTION 8.14. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Each of the Borrower, the
Agents and the Lender Parties irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in
any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or
otherwise) arising out of or relating to any of the Loan Documents, the Advances
or the actions of any Agent or any Lender Party in the negotiation,
administration, performance or enforcement thereof.
