Amendment, the Departing Banks shall continue to be entitled
to the protection of Sections 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.16, 3.18,
3.19 and 10.5 of the Existing Credit Agreement and to any

the Existing Credit Agreement up to, but not including, the
Fifth Amendment Closing Date.
(c) Effective as of the Amendment Closing and by
its execution hereof, each Departing Bank and each
Continuing Bank with a Commitment under the Amended Credit
Agreement that is less than its Commitment under the
Existing Credit Agreement (each a "Decreasing Bank") hereby
assigns to the Additional Banks and the Continuing Banks
with respective Commitments under the Amended Credit
Agreement that are greater than such Continuing Banks'
respective Commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement
(each an "Increasing Bank"), and, effective as of the
Amendment Closing and by its execution hereof, each
Additional Bank and Increasing Bank hereby purchases from
the Departing Banks and the Decreasing Banks at the
principal amount thereof, such interests in the Loans that
are outstanding on the Fifth Amendment Closing Date under
the Existing Credit Agreement and will continue to be
outstanding as Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement
("Continuing Loans") as shall be necessary in order that,
after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases,
such Continuing Loans will be held by the Additional Banks
and the Continuing Banks ratably in accordance with their
respective Commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement.
Such assignments, purchases and acceptances shall be without
recourse or representation, except that each Departing Bank
and Decreasing Bank shall be deemed to have represented to
each Additional Bank and Increasing Bank that it is the
legal and beneficial owner of the interests assigned by it
free and clear of any adverse claims arising by, through or
under it.
(d) On the Fifth Amendment Closing Date, (i) each
Additional Bank and Increasing Bank shall pay the purchase
price for the interests purchased by it pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section 4 by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not
later than 12:00 noon (New York time) and (ii) the
Administrative Agent shall pay to each Departing Bank and
Decreasing Bank out of the amounts received by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (i) of this
paragraph (d), the purchase price for the interests assigned
by it pursuant to such paragraph (c) by wire transfer of
immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. (New
York time). In addition, on the Fifth Amendment Closing
Date, FI shall pay interest on each Loan outstanding (at the
rate applicable to such Loan) for the period from the date
of the last interest payment on such Loan to but not
including the Fifth Amendment Closing Date. FI shall pay
such interest by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.
(New York time) and the Administrative Agent shall pay the
applicable Continuing Bank or Departing Bank, out of the
amount so received from FI, such interest by wire transfer
of immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. (New
York time). The interest payable on each Continuing Loan on
the next Interest Payment Date therefor occurring after the
Fifth Amendment Closing Date shall be decreased by the
amount of interest paid on such Continuing Loan pursuant to
this Section 4(d).
(e) FI hereby consents to the assignments and
purchases provided for in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this
Section 4, and agrees that each Increasing Bank shall have
all the rights of a Bank under the Amended Credit Agreement
with respect to the interests in the Loans purchased by it
pursuant to such paragraphs. In the event that interests in
any LIBO Rate Loan shall be assigned pursuant to
paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 4 prior to the last
day of the Interest Period for such Loan, each Departing
Bank and Decreasing Bank that shall have assigned a portion
of such Loan shall be deemed to have the same rights under
Section 3.14 of the Amended Credit Agreement as it would
have if the portion it assigned had been prepaid and each
Additional Bank and Increasing Bank so purchasing a LIBO
Rate Loan shall be entitled to receive reimbursement from FI
for any loss or expense which such Additional Bank or
Increasing Bank sustains or incurs as a result of making
such Continuing Loan as of the Fifth Amendment Closing Date
rather than on the first day of the current Interest Period
for such Continuing Loan (it being understood that such loss
or expense shall be payable for the period commencing with
the Fifth Amendment Closing Date and ending with the next
Interest Payment Date for such Continuing Loan). Each
Additional Bank, Decreasing Bank or Increasing Bank claiming
compensation for any such loss or expense shall make such
request for reimbursement pursuant to the same procedures
provided in Section 3.13 of the Amended Credit Agreement for
claiming of breakage amounts.
