CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of August 11, 1998, among HHC 1998-1 TRUST,
a Delaware business trust (the "Borrower"), the several lenders from time to
--------
time parties hereto (the "Lenders"), CHASE SECURITIES INC., as arranger (the
-------
"Arranger"), ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ SENIOR FUNDING, INC. and BT ALEX. ▇▇▇▇▇
---------
INCORPORATED, as co-arrangers (collectively, in such capacity, the "Co-
--
Arrangers"), BANKERS TRUST COMPANY, as documentation agent (in such capacity,
the "Documentation Agent"), ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ SENIOR FUNDING, INC., as syndication
-------------------
agent (in such capacity, the "Syndication Agent"), and THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK,
-----------------
a New York banking corporation, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such
capacity, the "Agent").
-----
The parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS
1.1 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise
-------------
defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings set forth in Annex
A attached to the Participation Agreement dated as of the date hereof among
Lessee, the Borrower, the Investors, the Agent and the Lenders, as the same may
from time to time be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance
with the terms thereof.
2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS
2.1 Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
-----------
each Lender severally agrees to the extent of its Commitment to extend credit to
the Borrower from time to time on any Borrowing Date during the Commitment
Period by making loans in Dollars (individually, such a Loan is a "Revolving
---------
Credit Synthetic Loan", and collectively such Loans are the "Revolving Credit
--------------------- ----------------
Synthetic Loans"; for purposes of clarity, Revolving Credit Synthetic Loans do
---------------
not include any Senior Secured Obligations") to the Borrower from time to time;
provided, however, that in no event shall any Revolving Credit Synthetic Loans
-------- -------
be made, if the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Synthetic Loans to be
made would, after giving effect to the use of proceeds, if any, thereof, exceed
the aggregate Available Commitments. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower
may use the Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Credit Synthetic
Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof.
(a) Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Synthetic Loans pursuant to
the Commitments (other than borrowings pursuant to Section 2.2(c)) shall be in
an aggregate principal amount of the lesser of (i) $1,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, with respect to a Requisition for
payment of Property Acquisition Costs, a whole multiple of $10,000 in excess
thereof, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, and $2,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Eurodollar Loans and (ii)
the Available Commitments.
2
2.2 Procedure for Borrowing. (a) The Borrower may borrow under the
-----------------------
Commitments during the Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that,
--------
with respect to any borrowing, the Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable
notice (which notice must be received by the Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. New York
City time, (i) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date if all
or any part of the Loans are to be Eurodollar Loans and (ii) one Business Day
prior to the requested Borrowing Date if the borrowing is to be solely of
Alternate Base Rate Loans) and specifying (A) the amount of the borrowing, (B)
whether such Loans are initially to be Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate
Loans or a combination thereof, (C) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly
Eurodollar Loans, the length of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans
and (D) the requested Borrowing Date. Upon receipt of such notice the Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender. Not later than 12:00 noon, New York City
time, on the Borrowing Date specified in such notice, each Lender shall make
available to the Agent at the office of the Agent specified in Section 9.2 (or
at such other location as the Agent may direct) an amount in immediately
available funds equal to the amount of the Loan to be made by such Lender. Loan
proceeds received by the Agent hereunder shall promptly be made available to the
Borrower by the Agent's crediting the account of the Construction Agent, at the
office of the Agent specified in Section 9.2, with the aggregate amount actually
received by the Agent from the Lenders and in like funds as received by the
Agent. The Borrower may submit no more than three Requisitions in any one
calendar month, one of which may be for construction related costs and up to two
of which may be for Property Acquisition Costs.
(a) Any borrowing of Eurodollar Loans hereunder shall be in such
amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect
thereto, (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Eurodollar Loans having the
same Interest Period shall not be less than $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof and (ii) no more than sixteen Interest Periods shall
be in effect at any one time.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing Section 2.3(a) to the
contrary, on each date during the Construction Period with respect to any
Construction Period Property which is one Business Day prior to any Interest
Payment Date, unless otherwise requested by the Borrower at least three Business
Days prior to such Interest Payment Date by written notice to the Agent, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing pursuant to Section
2.3(a) of Alternate Base Rate Loans in an amount equal to the aggregate amount
of Allocated Interest on the Loans due and payable on such Interest Payment Date
with respect to the Construction Period Properties. The Borrowing Date with
respect to any such borrowing shall be the relevant Interest Payment Date
(provided, that the making of the Loans pursuant to such borrowing shall be
---------
subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Section 4.2) and the proceeds of such borrowing shall be applied to pay such
interest. On each such Borrowing Date, the Tranche A/B Property Cost and the
Tranche A/B Construction Property Cost of each Construction Period Property
shall be increased by an amount equal to the Allocated Interest paid on such
date with respect to such Property.
(c) A portion of the principal amount of each Revolving Credit
Synthetic Loan made by each Lender, and upon conversion pursuant to Section 2.3,
each Term Synthetic Loan of each Lender, equal to the Tranche A Percentage of
the principal amount of such Loan shall be deemed to be a "Tranche A Loan" for
--------------
the purposes of the Operative Agreements and the
3
remaining portion of the principal amount of such Loan shall be deemed to be a
"Tranche B Loan" for the purposes of the Operative Agreements, provided that
-------------- --------
payments in respect of the Loans shall be allocated to reduce the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans of each
Lender in the manner specified in Section 2.10(a).
2.3 Conversion to Term Synthetic Loans. If, on any anniversary of
----------------------------------
the Initial Closing Date, the sum of (a) the then outstanding Revolving Credit
Synthetic Loans plus the then outstanding Investor Contribution and (b) the then
outstanding Senior Secured Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans exceeds
$75,000,000 (the "Excess Amount"), then the following actions shall be taken (if
-------------
applicable) in the following order:
(i) the Commitments shall be automatically reduced by an amount
equal to the Excess Amount less an amount equal to 4.75% of the Excess
Amount (the "Investor Excess Amount"), and
----------------------
(ii) any amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Synthetic Loans up
to the Excess Amount less the Investor Excess Amount shall be converted to
term loans (any such Revolving Credit Synthetic Loans so converted being
herein called the "Term Synthetic Loans").
--------------------
2.4 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Subject to Section
----------------------------------
2.13, the Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay Loans, in whole
or in part, without premium or penalty, by irrevocable notice to the Agent by
10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the same Business Day in the case of
Alternate Base Rate Loans, and three Business Days' irrevocable notice to the
Agent in the case of Eurodollar Loans, specifying the date and amount of
prepayment. Upon receipt of such notice the Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender thereof. If such notice is given, the Borrower shall make such
prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable, on the date specified therein. Partial prepayments of Loans shall be
in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (A) (I) $2,000,000, or a
whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof with respect to Eurodollar Loans or
(II) $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof with respect
to Alternate Base Rate Loans and (B) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
the Loans.
(a) If on any date the Agent or the Borrower shall receive, with
respect to any Property, any payment in respect of excess wear and tear pursuant
to Section 21.3 of the Lease (a "Wear and Tear Payment") or any Net Sales
---------------------
Proceeds Shortfall pursuant to Section 21.3 of the Lease, such payment shall be
applied to prepay the Loans on such date in accordance with Section 8.1(b)(vi).
(b)(i) On any date on which the Lessee is obligated to pay the Lessor
an amount equal to (x) the Termination Value of any Property in connection with
the delivery of a Termination Notice or (y) the Termination Value of any
Property in connection with the exercise of a Purchase Option or Maturity Date
Purchase Option, such amount shall be applied to prepay the Loans on such date
in accordance with Section 8.1(b)(ii), and (ii) on any date on which any
Property shall have been sold pursuant to Section 21 of the Lease, the Borrower
shall prepay the
4
Loans on such date in an amount equal to the proceeds of such sale (net of costs
and expenses described in Section 21.2(i) of the Lease) in accordance with
Section 8.1(b)(iii).
(c) Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.4(b) or 2.4(c)
shall be allocated to reduce the Tranche A/B Property Cost of the affected
Property. Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.5(a) shall be
allocated to reduce the respective Tranche A/B Property Costs of all Properties,
pro rata according to the Tranche A/B Property Costs of such Properties
--- ----
immediately before giving effect to such prepayment. Any amounts applied to
reduce the Tranche A/B Property Cost of any Construction Period Property
pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall also be applied to reduce the Tranche A/B
Construction Property Cost of such Property until such Tranche A/B Construction
Property Cost has been reduced to zero.
2.5 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) Subject to Section
-----------------------------------
2.13, the Borrower, may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans into
Alternate Base Rate Loans by giving the Agent irrevocable notice of such
election, to be received by the Agent prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time,
at least three Business Days prior to the proposed conversion date. The
Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or a portion of the
Alternate Base Rate Loans then outstanding to Eurodollar Loans by giving the
Agent irrevocable notice of such election, to be received by the Agent prior to
12:00 noon, New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to the
proposed conversion date, specifying the Interest Period selected therefor, and,
if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such
conversion shall be made on the requested conversion date or, if such requested
conversion date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day.
Upon receipt of any notice pursuant to this Section 2.5, the Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of the outstanding Loans
may be converted as provided herein, provided that partial conversions of
--------
Alternate Base Loans shall be in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or
a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and the aggregate principal
amount of the resulting Eurodollar Loans outstanding in respect of any one
Interest Period shall be at least $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in
excess thereof; and provided, further, that no Alternate Base Rate Loan may be
-------- -------
converted into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing and the Agent has or the Required Lenders have, by written notice
to the Borrower, determined that such a continuation is not appropriate or (ii)
after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date.
(a) Any Eurodollar Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration
of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving
irrevocable notice to the Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of
the term "Interest Period" set forth in Annex A, of the length of the next
-------
Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan
--------
may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Agent has or the Required Lenders have, by written notice to
the Borrower, determined that such a continuation is not appropriate, (ii) if,
after giving effect thereto, Section 2.3(b) would be contravened or (iii) after
the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date.
2.6 Reduction of Commitment. The Commitments shall from time to time
-----------------------
be automatically and permanently reduced (a) to the same extent, on a dollar for
dollar basis, as the Revolving Credit Commitments are reduced pursuant to
Section 3.3 of the Senior Secured Credit
5
Agreement, (b) by the amounts applied by HHC pursuant to Section 3.4(b)(v) of
the Senior Secured Credit Agreement to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments
and prepay the Senior Secured Term Loans and (c) to the extent that Loans are
repaid as the result of the exercise by Lessee of its option to purchase
Properties pursuant to Section 20.1 of the Lease with amounts available pursuant
to Section 3.4(b)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the Senior Secured Credit Agreement
for such purpose.
2.7 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Eurodollar Loans shall
--------------------------------
bear interest for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto,
commencing on (and including) the first day of such Interest Period to, but
excluding, the last day of such Interest Period, on the unpaid principal amount
thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect.
(a) Alternate Base Rate Loans shall bear interest for the period from
and including the date such Loans are made to, but excluding, the maturity date
thereof, or to, but excluding, the conversion date if such Loans are earlier
converted into Eurodollar Loans on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate
per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin from time
to time in effect.
(b) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any of the
Loans or (ii) any interest payable thereon shall not be paid when due (whether
at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) such Loan, if a Eurodollar
Loan, shall be converted into an Alternate Base Rate Loan at the end of the
then-current Interest Period for said Eurodollar Loan (which conversion shall
occur automatically and without need for compliance with the conditions for
conversion set forth in Section 2.5), and any such overdue amount shall, without
limiting the rights of the Lenders under Section 6, bear interest (which shall
be payable on demand) at a rate per annum which is 2% plus the Alternate Base
Rate plus the Applicable Margin (or, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the
Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin from time to
time in effect plus 2%, if higher) from the date of such non-payment until paid
in full (as well after as before judgment).
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.7,
interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.
2.8 Computation of Interest. (a) Interest in respect of Alternate
-----------------------
Base Rate Loans, at any time that the Alternate Base Rate is determined by
reference to the Prime Rate, shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 (or 366
as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest in respect
of Eurodollar Loans and in respect of Alternate Base Rate Loans at any time that
the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Base CD Rate or the
Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year
for the actual days elapsed. The Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the
Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change
in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base
Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the
opening of business on the day on which such change in the Alternate Base Rate
is announced or such change in the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements becomes
6
effective, as the case may be. The Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the
Company and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such
change.
(a) Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent pursuant to
any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower
and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Agent shall, at the
request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a
statement showing the quotations used by the Agent in determining the Eurodollar
Rate.
2.9 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. In the event that the
------------------------------------
Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding
upon the Borrower) that (a) by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank
eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period with respect to (i) proposed Loans
that the Borrower has requested be made as Eurodollar Loans, (ii) any Eurodollar
Loans that will result from the requested conversion of all or part of the
Alternate Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans or (iii) the continuation of any
Eurodollar Loan as such for an additional Interest Period, or (b) dollar
deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant period with respect to any
such Eurodollar Loan are not generally available to the Lenders in their
respective Eurodollar Lending Offices' interbank eurodollar markets, the Agent
shall forthwith give telecopy notice of such determination, confirmed in
writing, to the Borrower and the Lenders at least one day prior to, as the case
may be, the requested Borrowing Date, the conversion date or the last day of
such Interest Period. If such notice is given (i) any requested Eurodollar Loans
shall be made as Alternate Base Rate Loans, (ii) any Alternate Base Rate Loans
that were to have been converted to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as
Alternate Base Rate Loans and (iii) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be
converted on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto
into Alternate Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the
Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made and no Alternate Base Rate
Loans shall be converted to Eurodollar Loans.
2.10 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the
-------------------------------
Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each conversion of Revolving Credit
Synthetic Loans to Term Synthetic Loans and any reduction of the Commitments of
the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment
Percentages of the Lenders. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.4 or
Section 8, each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account
of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to
the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the
Lenders (it being understood that, except as otherwise provided in Section 8,
any payment so made in respect of principal of any Lender's Loans shall be
deemed to ratably reduce the outstanding amount of Tranche A Loans and Tranche B
Loans of such Lender).
(a) If any Lender (a "Non-Funding Lender") has (x) failed to make a
------------------
Loan required to be made by it hereunder, and the Agent has determined that such
Lender is not likely to make such Loan or (y) given notice to the Borrower or
the Agent that it will not make, or that it has disaffirmed or repudiated any
obligation to make, any Loan, in each case by reason of the provisions of the
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as
7
amended, or otherwise, (i) any payment made on account of the principal of the
Loans outstanding shall be made as follows:
(A) in the case of any such payment made on any date when and to the
extent that in the determination of the Agent the Borrower would be able
under the terms and conditions hereof to reborrow the amount of such
payment under the Commitments and to satisfy any applicable conditions
precedent to such reborrowing, such payment shall be made on account of
the outstanding Loans held by the Lenders other than the Non-Funding
Lender pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts
--- ----
of the Revolving Credit Synthetic Loans of such Lenders; and
(B) otherwise, such payment shall be made on account of the
outstanding Loans held by the Lenders pro rata according to the
--- ----
respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans; and
(ii) any payment made on account of interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata
--- ----
according to the respective amounts of accrued and unpaid interest due and
payable on the Loans with respect to which such payment is being made. The
Borrower agrees to give the Agent such assistance in making any determination
pursuant to subparagraph (i)(A) of this paragraph as the Agent may reasonably
request. Any such determination by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding on
the Lenders.
(b) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower
on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without set-off or
counterclaim and shall be made to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders at
the Agent's office located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, in
lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. The Agent
shall promptly distribute such payments in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8 upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder
(other than payments on Eurodollar Loans) would become due and payable on a day
other than a Business Day, such payment shall become due and payable on the next
succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest
thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If
any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a
Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day (and with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall
be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension), unless the result
of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month in
which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business
Day.
(c) Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by any
Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount which
would constitute its Commitment Percentage of such borrowing available to the
Agent, the Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to
the Agent in accordance with Section 2.3 and the Agent may, in reliance upon
such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such
amount is not made available to the Agent by the required time on the Borrowing
Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Agent, on demand, such amount with
interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective
Rate for the period until such Lender makes such
8
amount immediately available to the Agent. A certificate of the Agent submitted
to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.10(d) shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. If such Lender's Commitment Percentage of
such borrowing is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Lender within
three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Agent shall also be entitled to
recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to
Alternate Base Rate Loans hereunder (in lieu of any otherwise applicable
interest), on demand, from the Borrower, without prejudice to any rights which
the Borrower or the Agent may have against such Lender hereunder. Nothing
contained in this Section 2.10 shall relieve any Lender which has failed to make
available its ratable portion of any borrowing hereunder from its obligation to
do so in accordance with the terms hereof.
(d) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it on
any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any,
hereunder to make its Loan on such Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by
such other Lender on such Borrowing Date.
(e) All payments and optional prepayments (other than prepayments as
set forth in Section 2.12 with respect to increased costs) of Eurodollar Loans
hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so
that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all
Eurodollar Loans with the same Interest Period shall not be less than $2,000,000
or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.
2.11 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any
----------
Change in Law occurring after the date that any lender becomes a Lender party to
this Agreement, shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain
Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, the commitment of such
Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans or to convert all or a portion of
Alternate Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be suspended
until such time, if any, as such illegality shall no longer exist, and such
Lender's Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted
automatically to Alternate Base Rate Loans for the duration of the respective
Interest Periods (or, if permitted by applicable law, at the end of such
Interest Periods) and all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied
to such Eurodollar Loans shall be applied instead to such Lender's Alternate
Base Rate Loans. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay any Lender, promptly upon
its demand, any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 in connection with any
conversion in accordance with this Section 2.11 (such Lender's notice of such
costs, as certified in reasonable detail as to such amounts to the Borrower
through the Agent, to be conclusive absent manifest error).
2.12 Requirements of Law. (a) In the event that any Change in Law
-------------------
or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority
occurring after the date that any lender becomes a Lender party to this
Agreement:
(i) does or shall subject any such Lender or its Eurodollar
Lending Office to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement, any Note or any Eurodollar Loans made by it, or change the basis
of taxation of payments to such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office of
principal, the commitment fee, interest or any other
9
amount payable hereunder (except for (x) net income and franchise taxes
imposed on the net income of such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office
by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is organized or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or by any
jurisdiction in which such Lender's Eurodollar Lending Office is located or
any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, including
changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or such
Eurodollar Lending Office, and (y) taxes resulting from the substitution of
any such system by another system of taxation, provided that the taxes
--------
payable by Lenders subject to such other system of taxation are not
generally charged to borrowers from such Lenders having loans or advances
bearing interest at a rate similar to the Eurodollar Rate);
(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any
reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against
assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of,
advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition
of funds by, any office of such Lender which are not otherwise included in
the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or
(iii) does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or
its Eurodollar Lending Office of making, converting, renewing or maintaining
advances or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder,
in each case, in respect of its Eurodollar Loans, then, in any such case, the
Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount
receivable which such Lender deems to be material as determined by such Lender
with respect to such Eurodollar Loans, together with interest on each such
amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum
equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 1%.
(b) In the event that any Change in Law occurring after the date that
any lender becomes a Lender party to this Agreement with respect to any such
Lender shall, in the opinion of such Lender, require that any Commitment of such
Lender be treated as an asset or otherwise be included for purposes of
calculating the appropriate amount of capital to be maintained by such Lender or
any corporation controlling such Lender, and such Change in Law shall have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's
capital, as the case may be, as a consequence of such Lender's obligations
hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation, as the
case may be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into account
such Lender's or such corporation's policies, as the case may be, with respect
to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then
from time to time following notice by such Lender to the Borrower of such Change
in Law as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 2.12, within 15 days after
demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation on an
after-tax basis, as the case may be, for such reduction.
10
(c) The Borrower shall not be required to make any payments to any
Lender for any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12 unless such
Lender has given written notice to the Borrower through the Agent, of its intent
to request such payments prior to or within 60 days after the date on which such
Lender incurred such amounts. If any Lender has notified the Borrower through
the Agent of any increased costs pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.12,
the Borrower at any time thereafter may, upon at least three Business Days'
notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and
subject to Section 2.13, prepay (or convert into Alternate Base Rate Loans) all
(but not a part) of the Eurodollar Loans then outstanding. Each Lender agrees
that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of paragraph
(a) of this Section 2.12 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by
the Borrower, and to the extent permitted by law or by the relevant Governmental
Authority, endeavor in good faith to avoid or minimize the increase in costs or
reduction in payments resulting from such event (including, without limitation,
endeavoring to change its Eurodollar Lending Office); provided, that such
--------
avoidance or minimization can be made in such a manner that such Lender, in its
sole determination, suffers no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. If
any Lender requests compensation from the Borrower under this Section 2.12, the
Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), suspend the
obligation of such Lender thereafter to make or continue Loans of the Type with
respect to which such compensation is requested, or to convert Loans of any
other Type into Loans of such Type, until the Requirement of Law giving rise to
such request ceases to be in effect, provided that such suspension shall not
--------
affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.
(d) Each Lender (and in case of an Assignee on the date it becomes a
Lender) that is not a United States Person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Code) for federal income tax purposes either (1) in the case of a Lender
that is a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (i)
represents to the Borrower (for the benefit of the Borrower and the Agent) that
under applicable law and treaties no taxes are required to be withheld by the
Borrower or the Agent with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender in
respect of the Loans, (ii) agrees to furnish to the Borrower, with a copy to the
Agent, either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Form 1001 (wherein such Lender claims entitlement to complete exemption
from U.S. federal withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder) and (iii)
agrees (for the benefit of the Borrower and the Agent), to the extent it may
lawfully do so at such times, to provide the Borrower, with a copy to the Agent,
a new Form 4224 or Form 1001 upon the expiration or obsolescence of any
previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with
applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed
by such Lender, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws
and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption or (2) in the case
of a Lender that is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of
the Code, (i) represents to the Borrower (for the benefit of the Borrower and
the Agent) that it is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of
the Code, (ii) agrees to furnish to the Borrower, with a copy to the Agent, (A)
a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto (any such
certificate, a "Section 2.12(d) Certificate") and (B) two accurate and complete
---------------------------
original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, certifying to such
Lender's legal entitlement at the Initial Closing Date to an exemption from U.S.
withholding tax under the provisions of Section 881(c) of the Code with respect
to all payments to be made under this Agreement, and (iii) agrees, to the extent
legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Borrower, to
11
provide to the Borrower (for the benefit of the Borrower and the Agent) such
other forms as may be required in order to establish the legal entitlement of
such Lender to an exemption from withholding with respect to payments under this
Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 2.12 or 2.10(c) to the
contrary, the Borrower shall have no obligation to pay any amount to or for the
account of any Lender (or the Eurodollar Lending Office of any Lender) on
account of any taxes pursuant to this Section 2.12, to the extent that such
amount results from (i) the failure of any Lender to comply with its obligations
pursuant to this Section 2.12, (ii) any representation or warranty made or
deemed to be made by any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12(d) proving to have
been incorrect, false or misleading in any material respect when so made or
deemed to be made or (iii) any Change in Law or compliance by any Lender with
any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority, the effect of which would be to
subject to any taxes any payment made pursuant to this Agreement to any Lender
making the representation and covenants set forth in Section 2.12(d)(2), which
payment would not be subject to such taxes were such Lender eligible to make and
comply with, and actually made and complied with, the representation and
covenants set forth in Section 2.12(d)(1) hereinabove.
(e) A certificate in reasonable detail as to any amounts submitted
by such Lender, through the Agent, to the Borrower, shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. The covenants contained in this Section 2.12 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Loans.
2.13 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to
---------
hold such Lender harmless from any loss or expense (but without duplication of
any amounts payable as default interest) which such Lender may sustain or incur
as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment of the principal
amount of or interest on any Eurodollar Loans of such Lender, including, but not
limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by
such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its
Eurodollar Loans hereunder, (b) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing
after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with Section 2.3 or in
making a conversion of Alternate Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans or in
continuing Eurodollar Loans as such, in either case, after the Borrower, has
given notice in accordance with Section 2.5, (c) default by the Borrower in
making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with
Section 2.4, (d) a payment or prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan or conversion
(including without limitation, as a result of Section 2.4 and/or a conversion
pursuant to Section 2.11) of any Eurodollar Loan into an Alternate Base Rate
Loan, in either case on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period
with respect thereto, including, but not limited to, any such loss or expense
arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds
obtained by it in order to maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder (but
excluding loss of profit), or (e) not being covered by the indemnities provided
for in Section 12.1(a) of the Participation Agreement as the result of the
application of Section 12.1(b) of the Participation Agreement. This covenant
shall survive termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Loans.

Lender on the Maturity Date. The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest

any sum received by the Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender's
share thereof.
(c) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender
maintained pursuant to Section 2.14(b) shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
----- -----
obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided that the failure of any
--------
Lender or the Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error
therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay
(with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender or to
repay any other obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(d) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Agent by any
Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender (i) a promissory

--------------------------
Note"), or Exhibit A-2, in the case of Revolving Credit Synthetic Loans which

are Tranche B Loans (a "Tranche B Revolving Credit Note"), and/or (ii) a

Funding Lender, exercises its rights pursuant to Section 2.11 or requests
payments pursuant to Section 2.12, the Borrower may require, at the Borrower's
expense (including payment of any processing fees under Section 9.5(e)) and
subject to Section 2.13, such Lender to assign, at par plus accrued interest and
fees, without recourse (in accordance with Section 9.5) all of its interests,

this Agreement or any other Credit Document:
(i) the Borrower shall at all times to the exclusion of the
Agent retain (A) all rights to Excepted Payments and to demand, collect or
commence an action at law to obtain such payments and to enforce any
judgment with respect thereto and (B) all of its rights under the
Participation Agreement; and
(ii) the Borrower shall at all times retain the right, but not
to the exclusion of the Agent, (A) to receive from the Lessee all notices,
certificates and other documents and all information that the Lessee is
permitted or required to give or furnish to the "Borrower" or the "Lessor"
pursuant to the Lease, the Participation Agreement or any other Operative

----------------------------
time purchase the Property pursuant to Section 16.2 of the Lease or exercise its
Purchase Option with respect to the Property under Section 20 of the Lease, or

upon satisfaction by the Borrower of its obligation to prepay the Loans pursuant
to Section 2.5(c) and to pay accrued interest on the Loans so prepaid pursuant
to Section 2.8, the Agent shall release the Property from the Liens created by
the Security Documents. In addition, upon the termination of the Commitments
and the payment in full of the Loans and all other amounts owing by the Borrower
or the Guarantor hereunder or under any other Operative Agreement, the Agent
shall release all of the Properties from the Liens created by the Security
Documents. Upon request of the Borrower following any such release, the Agent
21
shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, execute and deliver to the
Borrower or the Lessee such documents as the Borrower shall reasonably request
to evidence such release.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the
termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of (i) the Loans and all
other amounts owing by the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any
other Operative Agreement and (ii) all amounts owing by the Lessee to the Lessor

-------- -------
notices to the Borrower provided for in this Section 9.2 shall not result in any
liability to the Agent.
9.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no
------------------------------
delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy,
power or privilege
23
hereunder or under the other Operative Agreements shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies,
powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
9.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations
------------------------------------------
and warranties made hereunder, in the other Operative Agreements and in any
document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection
herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Notes and the making of the Loans hereunder.
9.5 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This
------------------------------------------------------
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the
Lenders, the Agent, the Arranger, the Co-Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the
Documentation Agent, all future holders of the Notes and the Loans and their
permitted respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not
assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without
the prior written consent of each Lender.
(a) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in
accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other
entities (each, a "Participant") participating interests in any Loan owing to
-----------
such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any
other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Operative
Agreements; provided, that any such participation shall be ratable as between
--------
the Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans of such Lender. In the event of any
such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such
Lender's obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement
shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the
performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for
all purposes under this Agreement and the Notes, and the Borrower and the Agent
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes. The
Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes
are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and
payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be
deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in
amounts owing under this Agreement and any Note to the same extent as if the
amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under
this Agreement or any Note; provided that such right of setoff shall be subject
--------
to the obligation of such Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders
agree to share with such Participant, as provided in the Agency and
Intercreditor Agreement. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall
be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 and 2.13 with respect to its
participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as
if it were a Lender; and provided, further, that no Participant shall be
-------- -------
entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such subsection than the
transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount
of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant
had no such transfer occurred. Each Lender agrees that the participation
agreement pursuant to which any Participant acquires its participating interest
(or any other document) may afford voting rights to such Participant, or any
right to instruct such Lender with respect to voting hereunder, only with
24
respect to matters requiring the consent of (i) all of the Lenders hereunder,
(ii) such Lender with respect to matters specified in Section 9.1(b) only if it
is affected thereby or (iii) all of the Lenders holding the relevant Commitments
subject to such participation.
(b) Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section 9.5, any Lender may, in
the ordinary course of its commercial banking, lending or investment business
and in accordance with applicable law, (i) at any time and from time to time
assign all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and
the other Operative Agreements to any Lender or any Affiliate thereof, provided
--------
that, in the event of a sale of less than all of such rights and obligations,
such assigning Lender after any such sale to any other Lender or any Affiliate
of such Lender shall retain Commitments and/or Loans aggregating at least
$5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Agent may determine) and (ii) with the
consent of the Borrower, the Lessee and the Agent (which in each case shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time and from time to time assign to
one or more additional banks, mutual funds or financial institutions or entities
(each, an "Assignee"), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this
--------
Agreement and the other Operative Agreements, pursuant to an Assignment and
Acceptance, executed by such Assignee, such transferor Lender (and, in the case
of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the
Borrower, the Lessee and the Agent), and delivered to the Agent for its
acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that (A) each such sale
--------
pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 9.5 (c) shall be in a principal amount
of $5,000,000 or more unless the assigning Lender is transferring all of its
rights and obligations and (B) in the event of a sale of less than all of such
rights and obligations, such Lender after any such sale shall retain Commitments
and/or Loans aggregating at least $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Agent
and the Borrower may determine). Any such assignment shall be ratable as
between the Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans of the assigning Lender. Each
assignment of Commitments and Revolving Credit Synthetic Loans to an Assignee
pursuant to this Section 9.5(c) shall automatically include an assignment to
such Assignee of an equal percentage of all the assigning Lender's rights and
obligations in respect of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Loans and
Revolving Credit Commitments under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Upon
such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective
date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and to the Agency and Intercreditor Agreement
and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights
and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein,
and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest
transferred, as reflected in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from
its obligations under this Agreement and the Agency and Intercreditor Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining
portion of a transferor Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and to the Agency and
Intercreditor Agreement but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of the
indemnification provisions set forth in Section 12 of the Participation
Agreement).
(c) The Agent, which for purposes of this Section 9.5(d) only shall
be deemed to be the agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the address of the
Agent referred to in Section 9.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names
--------
and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of
the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the
25
Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the
Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as
the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Operative
Agreements, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any
Loan or other obligation hereunder shall be effective only upon appropriate
entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not
then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by the Borrower, the Lessee and the
Agent), together with payment to the Agent of a registration and processing fee
of $4,000 if the Assignee is not a Lender prior to the execution of such
supplement and $1,000 otherwise (which fee need not be paid in the case of any
assignment by a Lender to an affiliate of such Lender), the Agent shall (i)
promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date
determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the
Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and
the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower at its own
expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent (in exchange for any or all of
the Notes of the assigning Lender) new Notes to the order of such Assignee in an
amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained a Commitment or any Loans
hereunder, new Notes, to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to
the Commitment or such Loans, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder.
Such new Notes shall be dated the Initial Closing Date and shall otherwise be in
the form of the Notes replaced thereby.
(e) If, pursuant to this Section 9.5, any interest in this Agreement
or any Note is transferred to any Participant or Assignee (each, a "Transferee")
----------
which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United
States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee,
concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer either (1) in the case of a
Transferee that is a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code, (i) to represent to the transferor Lender (for the benefit of the
transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower) that under applicable law and
treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Agent, the Borrower or
the transferor Lender with respect to any payments to be made to such Transferee
in respect of the Loans, (ii) to furnish to the transferor Lender (and, in the
case of any Transferee registered in the Register, the Agent and the Borrower)
either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or U.S. Internal Revenue Service
Form 1001 (wherein such Transferee claims entitlement to complete exemption from
U.S. federal withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder) and (iii) to
agree (for the benefit of the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower) to
the extent permitted by then-current law to provide the transferor Lender (and,
in the case of any Transferee registered in the Register, the Agent, the Lessee
and the Borrower) a new Form 4224 or Form 1001 upon the expiration or
obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in
accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly
executed and completed by such Transferee, and to comply from time to time with
all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax
exemption or (2) in the case of any Transferee that is not a "bank" within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A)
26
of the Code, (i) to represent to the transferor Lender (for the benefit of the
transferor Lender, the Agent, the Lessee and the Borrower) that it is not a
"bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) to furnish
to the transferor Lender (and, in the case of any Transferee registered in the
Register, to the Company), with a copy to the Agent, (A) a Subsection 2.12(d)
Certificate and (B) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8, certifying to such Transferee's legal entitlement on
the date of the effectiveness of such transfer to an exemption from U.S.
withholding tax under the provisions of Section 881(c) of the Code with respect
to all payments to be made under this Agreement, and (iii) to agree (for the
benefit of the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower), to the extent
legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the transferor Lender (or,
in the case of any Transferee registered in the Register, the Agent or the
Company), to provide to the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower such
other forms as may be required to establish the legal entitlement of such
Transferee to an exemption from withholding tax with respect to payments under
this Agreement.
(f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge
that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes
relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit
assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any
pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank
in accordance with applicable law.
9.6 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
-------
provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the
Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent
permitted by applicable law, upon the filing of a petition under any of the
provisions of the federal bankruptcy code or amendments thereto, by or against;
the making of an assignment for the benefit of creditors by; the application for
the appointment, or the appointment, of any receiver of, or of any substantial
portion of the property of; the issuance of any execution against any
substantial portion of the property of; the issuance of a subpoena or order, in
supplementary proceedings, against or with respect to any substantial portion of
the property of; or the issuance of a warrant of attachment against any
substantial portion of the property of; the Borrower to set off and apply
against any indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured, of the Borrower to such
Lender, any amount owing from such Lender to the Borrower, at or at any time
after, the happening of any of the above mentioned events, and as security for
such indebtedness, the Borrower hereby grants to each Lender a continuing
security interest in any and all deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower
then or thereafter maintained with such Lender, subject in each case to the
Agency and Intercreditor Agreement. The aforesaid right of set-off may be
exercised by such Lender against the Borrower or against any trustee in
bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Borrower, or
against anyone else claiming through or against the Borrower or such trustee in
bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the
fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by such Lender
prior to the making, filing or issuance, or service upon such Lender of, or of
notice of, any such petition; assignment for the benefit of creditors;
appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver; or issuance of
execution, subpoena, order or warrant. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify
the Borrower and
27
the Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided
--------
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-
off and application.
9.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of
------------
the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts and all of
said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties
shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Agent. This Agreement shall become
effective when the Agent shall have received copies of this Agreement executed
by the Borrower, the Agent, the Arranger, the Co-Arrangers, the Syndication
Agent, the Documentation Agent and the Lenders, or, in the case of any Lender,
shall have received telephonic confirmation from such Lender stating that such
Lender has executed counterparts of this Agreement or the signature pages hereto
and sent the same to the Agent.
9.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is
------------
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
9.9 Integration. This Agreement and the other Operative Agreements
-----------
represent the agreement of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders with respect
to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings,
representations or warranties by the Agent or any Lender relative to subject
matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other
Operative Agreements.

Company and the Agent, and hold each of them harmless against any and all
payments, expenses or taxes which the Borrower, the Trust Company or the Agent
may become subject to or obligated to pay if and to the extent that, (i) on the

Lender, or such Transferee of a Lender pursuant to Section 9.5(f) of this
Agreement, (A) makes the representation and covenants set forth in Section

Acceptance, and (ii) as a result of any Change in Law or compliance by such
Lender, or Transferee, with any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority the Borrower
or the Agent is required to make any additional payments on account of U.S.
withholding taxes and amounts related thereto with respect to any payments under
this Agreement, any Note, or a Eurodollar Loan, made prior to such Change in Law
or request or directive, none of which payments would have been required if such
Lender, or Transferee, was qualified on the Initial Closing Date or the date of
the transfer, as the case may be, to make the representation and covenants set
forth in Section 2.12(d)(1) of this Agreement or pursuant to Section 9.5(f)(1)
of this Agreement and the Assignment and Acceptance, as the case may be, and (b)
each Lender, or Transferee, agrees that to the extent any amount payable by such
Lender or Transferee pursuant to this Section 9.12 remains unpaid on any
Interest Payment Date or the date on which any prepayment is made, the Borrower
shall have the right to set-off against any payment due to such Lender or
Transferee on such date any amounts owing to such Borrower pursuant to this
Section 9.12.
9.13 Nonrecourse. Anything to the contrary contained in this
-----------
Agreement or in any other Operative Agreement notwithstanding, neither the
Borrower nor any officer, director or shareholder thereof, nor any of the
Borrower's successors or assigns (all such Persons being hereinafter referred to
collectively as the "Exculpated Persons"), shall be personally liable in any
------------------
respect for any liability or obligation hereunder or under any other Operative
Agreement including the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Notes,
or for monetary damages for
29
the breach of performance of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement,
the Notes or any of the other Operative Agreements. The Agent and the Lenders
agree that, in the event any of them pursues any remedies available to them
under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Operative Agreement, neither the
Agent nor the Lenders shall have any recourse against the Borrower, nor any
other Exculpated Person, for any deficiency, loss or claim for monetary damages
or otherwise resulting therefrom and recourse shall be had solely and
exclusively against the Collateral and the Guarantor; but nothing contained
herein shall be taken to prevent recourse against or the enforcement of remedies
against the Property in respect of any and all liabilities, obligations and
undertakings contained in this Agreement, the Notes or any other Operative
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.13,
nothing in this Agreement or any other Operative Agreement shall (a) constitute
a waiver, release or discharge of any obligation evidenced or secured by this
Agreement or any other Credit Document, (b) limit the right of the Agent or any
Lender to name the Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for
judicial foreclosure and sale under any Security Document, or (c) affect in any
way the validity or enforceability of the Guarantee or any other guaranty
(whether of payment and/or performance) given to the Agent or the Lenders, or of
any indemnity agreement given by the Borrower, in connection with the Loans made
hereunder.
