to the exercise of remedies hereunder, and (ii) if there shall be more than one
Notice of Actionable Default outstanding at any time and the written directions
from the respective Senior Creditors shall be conflicting, the Collateral Agent
may exercise such remedies as it shall, in its sole discretion, deem
appropriate, which will include the following:
(a) The Collateral
Agent shall have the right immediately and without prior notice or demand to set
off against Obligations, whether or not due, all money and other amounts owed by

Agent may freeze any bank account of any of the Obligors with the Collateral
Agent prior to and in anticipation of said setoff;
(b) The Collateral
Agent may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by a suit or suits in equity
or at law, or for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement
contained herein, or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for
the enforcement of this Agreement, or for the enforcement of any other
appropriate legal or equitable remedy permitted by applicable law.
Section 3.2. Application of Proceeds
and Other Recoveries. In the
event that any Notice of Actionable Default shall have been delivered to the
Collateral Agent, amounts recovered from the Obligors or pursuant to Section 3.4
hereof shall be applied, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event

provisions of this Section 3, to the payment of the Obligations as

costs and expenses of suit, if any, and the costs of collecting and recovering

Agent;

Fourth Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement |
(ii) to be allocated
among all outstanding principal, and premium, if any (including, in the case of
the 1995 Notes, the Make-Whole Amounts, as defined in the 1995 Note Agreements
and in the case of the 2002 Notes, the Make-Whole Amount as defined in the 2002
Note Agreements and, in the case of the 2006 Notes, the Make-Whole Amount as
defined in the Original 2006 Note Agreements and, in the case of the 2007 Notes,
the Make-Whole Amount as defined in the First Supplement and any premium related
to any Additional Notes as set forth in
a Supplement to the 2002 Note Agreements or the 2006 Note Agreements (as the
case may be)), due on the Bank Loans, the 1995 Notes, the 2002 Notes, the 2006
Notes, the 2007 Notes, any Additional Notes and all Unfunded L/C Obligations,
apportioned among the Senior Creditors in proportion to the aggregate amount of
(w) the outstanding principal of the Bank Loans, 1995 Notes, 2002 Notes, 2006
Notes, 2007 Notes or Additional Notes of each Senior Creditor, (x) the aggregate
Unfunded L/C Obligations of each Senior Creditor, and (y) the premium, if any,
then due each Senior Creditor thereunder; and any amount so allocated under
clauses (w) or (y) of this paragraph (b)(ii) to a Senior Creditor, shall be paid
to such Senior Creditor and any amount so allocated under clause (x) of this
paragraph (b)(ii) to any Senior Creditor shall be held in a separate subaccount
established under Section 3.3 hereof for disposition in accordance with the
provisions thereof;
(c) the payment of the
surplus, if any, to the Obligors, their successors or to whomsoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive the same.
Section 3.3. Subaccounts for
Unfunded L/C Obligations.
Whenever any amount (“proceeds”) is allocated to a Senior Creditor of Unfunded L/C
Obligations pursuant to Section 3.2 above, such proceeds shall be held by the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of such Senior Creditor and shall be
suballocated by the Collateral Agent to separate subaccounts for each of the
Unfunded L/C Obligations of such Senior Creditor based upon the Senior
Creditors’ share of each of such Unfunded L/C Obligations. Upon the subsequent
occurrence of an L/C Funding Event with respect to an Unfunded L/C Obligation to
which proceeds have been suballocated, the Collateral Agent shall pay the
amount(s) suballocated in respect of such Unfunded L/C Obligations (adjusted for
any partial draws or investment losses or gains pursuant to this Section 3.3) to
the Senior Creditors for whom the related subaccounts were established. Pending
the distribution of such amounts, the Collateral Agent shall hold the amounts
allocated to separate subaccounts pursuant to the foregoing provisions and may
invest such amounts in direct obligations of the United States of America or
obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States is pledged
to provide for the payment of principal and interest, maturing not more than 90
days from the date of such investment.
Upon the occurrence of a Reallocation Event with
respect to any Unfunded L/C Obligation for which proceeds have been suballocated
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3, the Collateral Agent
shall reapply the proceeds which have been so suballocated (adjusted for any
investment losses or gains pursuant to this Section 3.3) as if such proceeds had
then been received for application pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof.
Section 3.4. Sharing of
Recoveries. If (i) a Notice of
Actionable Default shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and (ii)
such Notice shall not have been withdrawn and the Event of Default described
therein shall then be continuing, any Senior Creditor which shall receive any
payment of any fee, expense, principal, premium or interest under any of the
Secured Documents, including any amount received by the exercise of any right of
setoff (any such payment or amount being hereinafter referred to as a
“Recovery”), shall pay the amount of such Recovery to the
Collateral Agent for distribution to the Senior Creditors and the Collateral
Agent shall pay such amount to the Senior Creditors in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 3.2.
-00-
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Restated Intercreditor Agreement |
Section 3.5. Return of
Amounts. In the event that any
Senior Creditor which shall receive any payments pursuant to Section 3.4 above
(a “Recovering Party”) shall be legally required to return or repay any
Recovery to any of the Obligors, or the representative or successor in interest
of any of the Obligors because any such payments are subsequently invalidated,
voided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be
paid to a trustee under the bankruptcy code, each other Senior Creditor which
shall have received any portion of such Recovery shall, promptly upon its
receipt of notice thereof from the Collateral Agent or such Recovering Party,
pay to the Collateral Agent such portion, and the Collateral Agent shall
promptly return such portion to such Obligors, their representative or successor
in interest of such Obligors, as the case may be. If any such Recovery, or any
part thereof, is subsequently re-recovered by the Recovering Party from any
Obligors or the representative or successor in interest of the Obligors, such
Recovery shall be paid by the Recovering Party to the Collateral Agent, and the
Collateral Agent shall redistribute such Recovery to the other Senior Creditors
on the same basis as such amounts were originally distributed. In addition, if
any Senior Creditor shall have its right to share in the proceeds of any part of
the Collateral released, terminated or invalidated, whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, then such proceeds shall be reallocated among the Senior
Creditors entitled to receive such proceeds and the indebtedness owing to such
Senior Creditor shall no longer be considered in determining the allocation of
proceeds received with respect to said Collateral, and such Senior Creditor
shall have no claim on said Collateral or the proceeds thereof. The obligations
of the Senior Creditors and the Collateral Agent under this paragraph shall
survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Collateral
Documents.
Section 4.1. Delivery of Notice of
Actionable Default. Each Senior
Creditor shall have the right to issue a Notice of Actionable
Default.
Section 4.2. Notifications.
Prior to the delivery to the
Collateral Agent of a Notice of Actionable Default by a Senior Creditor, each
Senior Creditor shall deliver notice thereof to every other Senior Creditor and
the Company.
Section 4.3. Effect of
Non-Compliance. The failure of
any Senior Creditor to perform any of its obligations under the 1995 Note
Agreements, the 2002 Note Agreements, the 2006/2007 Note Agreements, the New
Bank Agreement, or this Agreement, including without limitation, the failure of
any Senior Creditor to pay to the Collateral Agent any amounts required to be so
paid under this Agreement, shall not relieve any other Senior Creditor of its
obligations under the 1995 Note Agreements, the 2002 Note Agreements, the
2006/2007 Note Agreements, the New Bank Agreement or this
Agreement.
Section 4.4. Agreement to Cooperate
and to Pursue Remedies. (a) Each
Senior Creditor hereby agrees to cooperate fully with each other Senior
Creditor, in order to promptly discharge the terms and provisions of this
Agreement. Each Senior Creditor also agrees, from time to time, to execute and
deliver any and all other agreements, documents or instruments and to take such
other actions, all as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to effectuate the
terms, provisions and the intent of this Agreement.
-11-
Fourth Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement |
(b) Each Senior
Creditor agrees that, until its Obligations have been paid in full, it will
diligently pursue, or cause the Collateral Agent to diligently pursue, any and
all collection actions and remedies available to such Senior Creditor or to the
Collateral Agent under applicable law which actions and remedies such Senior
Creditor deems reasonably likely to result in the recovery of amounts to be
applied to Obligations for the benefit of the Senior Creditors, which
Obligations shall include, without limitation, any amounts distributed to such
Secured Party by the Collateral Agent as a sharing of a Recovery under Section
3.4 hereof.
Section 4.5. Independent Actions by
Senior Creditors. Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall prohibit any Senior Creditor from accelerating
the maturity of or demanding payment on any indebtedness of any of the Obligors
to such Senior Creditor or exercising any right of set-off against any amounts
owed to any of the Obligors or from instituting legal action against any of the
Obligors, to obtain a judgment or other legal process in respect of such
indebtedness, but any funds received in connection with any such set-off or
enforcement of any such judgment shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement
and, if received by a Senior Creditor, shall be turned over to the Collateral
Agent to the extent required hereunder for application as set forth
herein.
Section 4.6. Relation of Senior
Creditors. This Agreement is
entered into solely for the purposes set forth herein and, except as expressly
provided otherwise herein, no Senior Creditor assumes any responsibility to any
other party hereto to advise such other party of information known to such other
party regarding the financial condition of the Company or the other Obligors or
of any other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
obligations of the Obligors to the Senior Creditors. Each Senior Creditor shall
be responsible for managing its relations with the Obligors, and no party shall
be deemed the agent of any other party for any purpose except as expressly set
forth herein. Each Senior Creditor specifically acknowledges and agrees that
nothing contained in this Agreement is or is intended to be for the benefit of
any of the Obligors and nothing contained herein shall limit or in any way
modify any of the obligations of the Obligors to the Senior
Creditors.
Section 4.7. Amendments and Waivers
of Agreements. The Senior
Creditors agree that (i) the Banks may enter into any amendment or modification
of the New Bank Agreement without the consent of the 1995 Noteholders or the
2002 Noteholders or the 2006 Noteholders or the 2007 Noteholders or any
Additional Noteholders, (ii) the 1995 Noteholders may enter into any amendment

2002 Note Agreements; provided, that, upon the Banks, the 1995 Noteholders, the 2002
Noteholders, the 2006 Noteholders, the 2007 Noteholders or the Additional
Noteholders entering into any such amendment or modification, the Persons
executing such amendment or modification shall promptly furnish a copy thereof
to all of the other Senior Creditors.

Fourth Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement |
The Collateral Agent accepts the duties hereunder and
agrees to perform the same, but only upon the terms and conditions hereof,
including the following, to all of which the Obligors and the respective Senior
Creditors by their acceptance hereof agree:
Section 5.1. Duties of Collateral
Agent. (a) In the event that a
Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice
from a Senior Creditor or any of the Obligors of an Event of Default, the
Collateral Agent shall give prompt written notice of such Event of Default to
each Senior Creditor. Subject to the terms of Section 5.2(g), the Collateral
Agent shall take such action or refrain from taking such action as the
Collateral Agent shall be directed pursuant to a Notice of Actionable Default.
The term “Responsible Officer” of the Collateral Agent shall mean (i) any officer of
the Collateral Agent which is a loan officer on the account of the Obligors
under the New Bank Agreement, (ii) any other officer which has direct or
indirect supervisory responsibility of the account of the Obligors under the New

made by the Collateral Agent under the provisions hereof, except on written
request by the Senior Creditors.
Section 5.2. Collateral Agent’s
Liability. No provision of this
Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 5.11 hereof) shall be
construed to relieve the Collateral Agent from liability for its own grossly
negligent action, grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful
misconduct, and provided further that:
(a) the Collateral
Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations
of the Collateral Agent shall be read into this Agreement but the duties and

bad faith on the part of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may rely
upon the authenticity of, and the truth of the statements and the correctness of

consent, waiver, order, signature guaranty, notarial seal, stamp,
acknowledgment, verification, appraisal, report, stock certificate, or other
paper or document believed by the Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have
been signed, affixed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(c) in the absence of
bad faith on the part of the Collateral Agent, whenever the Collateral Agent, or
any of its agents, representatives, experts or counsel, shall consider it
necessary or desirable that any matter be proved or established, such matter
(unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may
be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an officer’s certificate;
provided, however, that the Collateral Agent, or such agent,
representative, expert or counsel, may require such further and additional
evidence and make such further investigation as it or they may consider
reasonable;
-14-
Fourth Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement |
(d) the Collateral

be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken
or suffered hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or
opinion of counsel;

Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with any direction or request of a
Senior Creditor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
(f) the Collateral
Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an
officer of the Collateral Agent unless it shall be proved that the Collateral
Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(g) whether or not an
Event of Default shall have occurred, the Collateral Agent shall not be under
any obligation to take or refrain from taking any action under this Agreement
which may tend to involve it in any expense or liability, the payment of which
within a reasonable time is not, in its reasonable opinion, assured to it by the
security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, unless and until it is
requested in writing so to do by a Senior Creditor and furnished, from time to
time as it may require, with reasonable security and indemnity; and

Agent shall not be concerned with or accountable to any Person for the use or
application of any deposited moneys which shall be released or withdrawn in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Obligations.
Section 5.4. Certain Limitations on
Collateral Agent’s Rights to Compensation and Indemnification.
Except to the extent otherwise
expressly provided in Section 5.10, the Collateral Agent shall have no right
against a Senior Creditor for the payment of compensation for its services
hereunder or any expenses or disbursements incurred in connection with the
exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder or any
indemnification against liabilities which it may incur in the exercise and
performance of such powers and duties, but on the contrary, shall look solely to
the Obligors for such payment and indemnification which the Obligors hereby
acknowledge, and the Collateral Agent shall have a lien on and a security interest in the Collateral as security for such
compensation, expenses, disbursements and indemnification provided for in
Section 3.2 hereof.
-15-
Fourth Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement |
Section 5.5. Status of
Moneys Received. (a) All moneys
received by the Collateral Agent shall, until used or applied as herein
provided, be held for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be
segregated in any manner from any other moneys, except to the extent required by
law, and may be deposited by the Collateral Agent under such general conditions
as may be prescribed by law in the Collateral Agent’s general banking
department, and the Collateral Agent shall be under no liability for interest on
any moneys received by it hereunder. The Collateral Agent and any affiliated
corporation may become the owner of any of the Obligations and be interested in
any financial transaction with any Obligor, or the Collateral Agent may act as
depository or otherwise in respect to other securities of any Obligor, all with
the same rights which it would have if it was not the Collateral
Agent.
(b) The Collateral
Agent may invest and reinvest any funds from time to time held by the Collateral
Agent in direct obligations of the United States of America or obligations for
which the full faith and credit of the United States is pledged to provide for
the payment of principal and interest, maturing not more than 90 days from the
date of such investment.
Section 5.6.
Resignation or Termination of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent
upon not less than 30 days’ written notice to each of the Senior Creditors. In
addition, any Senior Creditor may by written notice at any time remove the
Collateral Agent for cause by giving written notice thereof, including a
description of the reason for such removal, to the Collateral Agent, the other
Senior Creditors and the Company. Upon any such resignation, or any such
removal, the Senior Creditors shall have the right to jointly appoint a
successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so
appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment in writing within 30 days
after the retiring Collateral Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or its
removal, as the case may be, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf
of the Senior Creditors, appoint a successor Collateral Agent, which shall be a
commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of
any state thereof with the legal capacity to act as Collateral Agent hereunder
and having a combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than
$100,000,000, and the Company agrees to pay such reasonable fees and expenses of
any such commercial bank as shall be necessary to induce such commercial bank to
agree to become a successor Collateral Agent hereunder. Upon acceptance of
appointment as Collateral Agent, such successor shall thereupon and forthwith
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers and privileges,
immunities and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring
Collateral Agent, upon the signing, transferring and setting over to such
successor Collateral Agent all rights, moneys and other collateral held by it in
its capacity as Collateral Agent, shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation or
removal as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 5 shall govern as to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it acted as Collateral
Agent.
Section 5.7. Succession
of Successor Collateral Agent.
Any successor Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Obligors and the predecessor Collateral Agent an instrument
accepting such appointment, and thereupon such successor Collateral Agent,
without any further act, deed, conveyance or transfer, shall become vested with
the security interest in the Collateral, and with all the rights, powers, duties
and obligations of the predecessor Collateral Agent in the trust hereunder, with
like effect as if originally named as Collateral Agent herein.
-16-
Fourth Amended and
Restated Intercreditor Agreement
Upon the request of any such successor
Collateral Agent, however, the Obligors and the predecessor Collateral Agent
shall execute and deliver such instruments of conveyance and further assurance
and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and
certainly vesting and confirming in such successor Collateral Agent its interest
in the Collateral and all such rights, powers, duties and obligations of the
predecessor Collateral Agent hereunder, and the predecessor Collateral Agent
shall also assign and deliver to the successor Collateral Agent any Collateral
subject to the lien and security interest of this Agreement which may then be in
its possession.
Section 5.8. Eligibility of
Collateral Agent. Any
successor Collateral Agent shall be a state or national bank or trust company in
good standing, organized under the laws of the United States of America or of
any State, having capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least
$100,000,000 or a guaranty of its obligations hereunder from such a bank or
trust company or holding company in good standing, organized under the laws of
the United States of America or of any State having a capital, surplus and
undivided profits aggregating at least $100,000,000, if there be such a bank or
trust company willing and able to accept the duties hereunder upon reasonable
and customary terms.
Section 5.9. Successor Collateral
Agent by Merger. Any
corporation into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or with which it may
be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation
to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or any state or national bank or
trust company in any manner succeeding to the corporate trust business of the
Collateral Agent as a whole or substantially as a whole, if eligible as provided
in Section 5.8, shall be the successor of the Collateral Agent hereunder without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of
the parties hereto, anything to the contrary contained herein
notwithstanding.
Section 5.10. Compensation and
Reimbursement of Collateral Agent; Indemnification of Collateral Agent.
The Obligors
agree:
(a) to pay to the
Collateral Agent all of its out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the
preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including but not limited to the reasonable charges and
disbursements of its counsel;
(b) to pay to the
Collateral Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for all services
rendered by it hereunder; provided, that the
Collateral Agent may waive any such compensation;
(c) except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Collateral Agent upon its request
for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Collateral Agent in accordance with any provision of this Agreement (including
the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and
counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct; and
-17-
Fourth Amended and
Restated Intercreditor Agreement
(d) to indemnify the Collateral Agent for, and
to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without
gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of the Agreement, including,
but not limited to, the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim
or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers
or duties hereunder, and any loss, liability, expense or claim arising out of
its possession, management, control, use or operation of the
Collateral.
The Senior Creditors agree, severally but not
jointly and severally, to indemnify the Collateral Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed under Section 5.10(a) through (d) inclusive), ratably on the basis of
the respective principal amounts of the Obligations outstanding, for any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent (including the
costs and expenses that the Obligors are obligated to pay under this Section
5.10 regardless of whether the obligation of the Obligors to pay such costs and
expenses is enforceable) arising out of the actions of the Collateral Agent
hereunder or the transactions contemplated thereby or the enforcement of any of
the terms thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no
Senior Creditor shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they
arise from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violations of law
by the Collateral Agent.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing
or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction
by the Senior Creditors against any and all liability and expense that may be
incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action.
Section 5.11. Self
Dealing. The Collateral
Agent or any holding company, trust company or corporation in or with which the
Collateral Agent or the Collateral Agent’s stockholders may be interested or
affiliated, or any officer or director of the Collateral Agent or of any other
such entity, or any agent appointed by the Collateral Agent, may have commercial
relations or otherwise deal with any of the Obligors, or any Senior Creditor, or
with any other corporation having relations with any of the Obligors or any
Senior Creditor, and with any other entity, whether or not affiliated with the
Collateral Agent, without affecting its rights hereunder.
