of this Agreement, each Bank severally agrees to make one or more advances to
Borrower from time to time from and including the Closing Date to but excluding
the Revolving Termination Date; provided that such Bank's Revolving Exposure
shall not exceed the amount of such Bank's Revolving Commitment as then in
effect. Subject to the foregoing limitations, and the other terms and provisions
of this Agreement, Borrower may borrow, prepay, and reborrow hereunder the
amount of the Revolving Commitments and may establish Base Rate Accounts and
Eurodollar Accounts thereunder and, until the Termination Date, Borrower may

evidenced by a single promissory note of Borrower in substantially the form of
Exhibit A hereto, payable to the order of such Bank in a principal amount equal

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 17
Section 2.3. Repayment of Loans. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the
account of the Banks the Loans which are outstanding on June 1, 2005 (the amount
of such Loans herein on such date the "Term Loan Amount") in eight (8) principal
installments as follows: (a) seven (7) installments each in the principal amount
equal to ten percent (10%) of the Term Loan Amount, each due and payable on each
Quarterly Payment Date, beginning on August 31, 2005 through February 28, 2007;
and thereafter (b) one final installment in the aggregate amount equal to the
Loans outstanding as of the Termination Date, due and payable on the Termination
Date.
Section 2.4. Revolving Commitment Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent
for the account of each Bank a commitment fee on the daily average unused amount
of such Bank's Revolving Commitment for the period from and including the
Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date, at a rate per
annum equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%). Accrued commitment fees under
this Section 2.4 shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and
on the Revolving Termination Date. For the purpose of calculating the commitment
fee hereunder, the Revolving Commitments shall be deemed utilized by all
outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit.
Section 2.5. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used
by Borrower for ongoing working capital needs and other general corporate
purposes, including, without limitation, to finance the purchase price of
Permitted Acquisitions and making loans to its Parent and Subsidiaries in

Section 2.6. Reduction, Termination, and Increase of Revolving
Commitments.
(a) Voluntary Reductions or Terminations of Revolving
Commitments. At any time and from time to time from and including the Closing
Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date, Borrower shall have the
right to terminate or reduce in part the unused portion of the Revolving
Commitments, provided that: (i) Borrower shall give notice of each such
termination or reduction as provided in Section 5.3; and (ii) each partial
reduction shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to Three Million
Dollars ($3,000,000). The Revolving Commitments may not be reinstated after they
have been terminated or reduced. Any reduction or termination of the Revolving
Commitments shall be accompanied by any payment required under Section
5.4(b)(i).
(b) Increase of Revolving Commitments. From and including the
Closing Date to but excluding May 31, 2004, Borrower may increase the aggregate
amount of the Revolving Commitments by an aggregate amount: (i) equal to any
integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) not to
exceed the sum of $20,000,000 less the aggregate amount of all reductions to the
Revolving Commitments under Section 5.4(b)(ii); provided, that (i) no Default
shall have occurred and be continuing on the effective date of the increase;
(ii) the Revolving Commitments shall not have been reduced under this Section
2.6, nor shall Borrower have given notice of any such reduction under Section
2.6(a), (iii) the Revolving Commitments shall not previously have been increased
pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) on more than four (4) occasions, and (iv) no

Persons being added as "Banks" hereunder (each a "New Bank") or by a combination
of the foregoing; provided, that the Revolving Commitment of each New Bank shall
be at least $5,000,000 and the maximum number of New Banks shall be four (4).
Provided that no Default exists at such time or after giving effect to the
increase, an increase in the Revolving Commitments made in accordance with this
Section 2.6(b) shall become effective on the date Agent receives a properly
completed Increased Commitment Supplement executed by Borrower and the Banks
willing to increase their respective Revolving Commitments and the New Banks (if
any). Agent shall promptly execute any Increased Commitment Supplement so
delivered in
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 18
accordance with this Section 2.6(b) and deliver a copy thereof to the other
Banks. Upon the effective date of the Increased Commitment Supplement, if all
existing Banks shall not have provided their pro rata portion of the requested
increase and Loans are outstanding, Borrower shall request a borrowing hereunder
which shall be made only by the Banks who have increased their Revolving
Commitment and, if applicable, the New Banks, and the proceeds of such borrowing
shall be utilized by Borrower to repay the Banks who did not agree to increase
their Revolving Commitments, such borrowing and repayments to be in amounts
sufficient so that after giving effect thereto, the Loans shall be held by the
Banks pro rata according to their respective Revolving Commitments.
(c) Mandatory Reductions of Revolving Commitments. The
aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments will be reduced as follows: (i) on
August 31, 2004, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments shall be

amount in effect on May 31, 2004 herein the "Set Facility Amount"); (ii) on
November 30, 2004, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments shall be

Commitments shall be decreased to an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the
Set Facility Amount
Section 2.7. Letters of Credit.
(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own
account or for any of the Obligated Parties' benefit, in the form of a Letter of
Credit Notice, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date to but
excluding the Revolving Termination Date. In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions
of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by
Borrower to, or entered into by Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any
Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain
Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment,
renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), Borrower shall hand
deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements
for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and
Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension) irrevocable written notice, in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit F (a "Letter of Credit Notice"), requesting the issuance of a Letter of
Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended,
and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which
shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire
(which shall comply with clause (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter
of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other
information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter
of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, Borrower also shall submit a letter
of credit application on the Issuing Bank's standard form in connection with any
request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended,
renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension
of each Letter of Credit Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant
that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i)
the LC Exposure shall not exceed $3,000,000 and (ii) the sum of the total
Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving
Commitments.
(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (i) on
the date approved by the Issuing Bank which approval shall be evidenced by the
issuance of such Letter of Credit or (ii) at or
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 19
prior to the close of business on the earlier of (A) the date one year after the
date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or
extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (B) the date
that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date.
(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or
an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without
any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Banks, the Issuing
Bank hereby grants to each Bank, and each Bank hereby acquires from the Issuing
Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Bank's Commitment
Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the
Issuing Bank, such Bank's Commitment Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by
the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by Borrower on the date due as provided in
clause (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be
refunded to Borrower for any reason. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its
obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of
Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any
Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be
made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC
Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall reimburse such LC
Disbursement by paying to Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not
later than 1:00 P.M. on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if Borrower
shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 A.M. on such
date, or, if such notice has not been received by Borrower prior to such time on
such date, then not later than 1:00 P.M. on the Business Day immediately
following the day that Borrower receives such notice; provided that Borrower may
prior to the Revolving Termination Date, subject to the conditions to borrowing
set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 5.3 that such payment be
financed with a Loan subject to Base Rate Accounts in an equivalent amount and,
to the extent so financed, Borrower's obligation to make such payment shall be
discharged and replaced by the resulting Loan subject to Base Rate Accounts. If
Borrower fails to make such payment when due, Agent shall notify each Bank of
the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from Borrower in respect
thereof and such Bank's Commitment Percentage thereof. Promptly following
receipt of such notice, each Bank shall pay to Agent its Commitment Percentage
of the payment then due from Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section
5.1 with respect to Loans made by such Bank (and Section 5.1 shall apply,
mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Banks), and Agent shall
promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Banks.
Promptly following receipt by Agent of any payment from Borrower pursuant to
this paragraph, Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to
the extent that the Banks have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to
reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Banks and the Issuing Bank as their
interests may appear. Any payment made by a Bank pursuant to this paragraph to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of
Loans subject to a Base Rate Account as contemplated above) shall not constitute
a Loan and shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC
Disbursement.
(f) Obligations Absolute. Borrower's obligation to reimburse
LC Disbursements as provided in clause (e) of this Section shall be absolute,
unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and
irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or
other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of
Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 20
event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Article, constitute a
legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against,
Borrower's obligations hereunder. Neither Agent, the Banks nor the Issuing Bank,
nor any Person related thereto, shall have any liability or responsibility by
reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit
or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of
the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error,
omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft,
notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit
(including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in
interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond
the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be
construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to Borrower to the extent of
any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of
which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law)
suffered by Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank's failure to exercise
care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a
Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly
agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part
of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each
such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the
generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented
which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a
Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept
and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or
refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not
in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly
following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a
demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly
notify Agent and Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand
for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC
Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving
such notice shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the
Issuing Bank and the Banks with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC
Disbursement, then, unless Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full
on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear
interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made
to but excluding the date that Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the
rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Margin; provided that, if
Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to clause (e)
of this Section, then Section 4.4 shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this
Section shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest
accrued on and after the date of payment by any Bank pursuant to clause (e) of
this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Bank
to the extent of such payment.
(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be
replaced at any time by written agreement among Borrower, Agent, the replaced
Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. Agent shall notify the Banks of any
such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall
become effective, Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of
the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to clause (k) of this Section. From and after
the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall
have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement
with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references
herein to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or
to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing
Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank
hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 21
all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with
respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall
not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that Borrower receives notice from
Agent or the Required Banks demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to
this paragraph or if Borrower is otherwise required to provide cash collateral
for LC Exposures under Section 5.4 or otherwise, Borrower shall deposit in an
account with Agent, in the name of Agent and for the benefit of the Banks, to be
held by Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations
of Borrower under this Agreement, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as
of such date plus any accrued and unpaid letter of credit fees relating thereto;
provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become
effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and
payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default with respect to Borrower described in clause (e) or (f) of
Section 12.1 or on the Revolving Termination Date if any Letter of Credit has an
expiration date beyond the Revolving Termination Date. Agent shall have
exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal,
over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such
deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of
Agent and at Borrower's risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.
Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such
account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by Agent to reimburse the
Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to
the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the
reimbursement obligations of Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if
the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of
the Banks with LC Exposure representing greater than 66 2/3% of the total LC
Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of Borrower under this
Agreement. If Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral
hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to
the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to Borrower within three
Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
(k) Fees. Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Agent for the
account of each Bank a participation fee with respect to its participations in
Letters of Credit, which shall accrue on the average daily amount of such Bank's
LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC
Disbursements), during the period from and including the Closing Date to but
excluding the later of the date on which such Bank's Revolving Commitment
terminates and the date on which such Bank ceases to have any LC Exposure, at a
rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate Margin in effect from time to time
pursuant to Section 4.2, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which
shall accrue on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any
portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), during the
period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the
date of termination of the Issuing Bank's commitments to issue Letters of Credit
and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, at the rate or rates
per annum separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank, as
well as the Issuing Bank's standard fees with respect to the issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of
drawings thereunder. Accrued participation fees and fronting fees shall be due
and payable on the third Business Day following each Quarterly Payment Date;
provided that all such fees shall be payable on the Revolving Termination Date
and any such fees accruing after the Revolving Termination Date shall be payable
on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph
shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and
fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day). None of the Banks are entitled to any portion of the
fronting fee.

under a Loan as Eurodollar Accounts under the same Loan, provided that: (a)
Borrower shall give Agent notice of each such Conversion or Continuation as
provided in Section 5.3; (b) a Eurodollar Account may only be Converted on the
last day of the Interest Period therefor; and (c) except for Conversions into
Base
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 25
Rate Accounts, no Conversions or Continuations shall be made while a Default has
occurred and is continuing.
Section 4.6. Computations. Interest and fees payable by Borrower
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be computed as follows: (i)
with respect to Eurodollar Accounts on the basis of a year of 360 days and the

basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be; (ii) with respect to
Base Rate Accounts (A) if based on the Prime Rate, on the basis of a year of 365

year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day
but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable unless in

as provided in this Section 5.3, such Account (if outstanding as a Eurodollar
Account) will automatically Converted into a Base Rate Account on the last day
of the preceding Interest Period such Account or (if outstanding as a Base Rate
Account) will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) be made as, a Base Rate
Account. Borrower may not borrow any Loans subject to a Eurodollar Convert any

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 27
(b) Mandatory Prepayments.
(i) Reduction of Revolving Commitment. On each date
that the Revolving Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 2.6 or clause (b)
of this Section 5.4 prior to the Revolving Termination Date, Borrower shall
prepay the Loans in the amount, if any, by which the sum of the total Revolving
Exposure exceeds the total Revolving Commitments (as reduced) together with any
amounts due under Section 6.5 as a result of such prepayment or , if no Loans
are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with Agent pursuant to
Section 2.7(j) in an amount equal to such excess.
(ii) Asset Dispositions. If the Net Proceeds relating
to any Asset Disposition exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000)
(it being understood that if the Net Proceeds exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000), the entire Net Proceeds and not just the portion in excess
of the foregoing amount shall be subject to this subsection) for any single
transaction or series of related transactions or if such Net Proceeds when
aggregated with all other Net Proceeds from any Asset Disposition received
during the same Fiscal Year exceed Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($750,000), (it being understood that if the Net Proceeds exceed Seven Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000), the entire Net Proceeds not just the portion
in excess of the foregoing amount shall be subject to this Subsection), then:
(A) if the Revolving Commitments are still in effect, then the aggregate amount
of the Revolving Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced by
such Net Proceeds, such reduction to be effective on the date five (5) days
after the receipt by Parent or any Subsidiary of such Net Proceeds; and (B)
Borrower shall within five (5) days of receipt of such Net Proceeds prepay the
Loans in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds or, if no Loans are outstanding
and if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, deposit cash
collateral in an account with Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(j) in an amount
equal to such Net Proceeds. A prepayment received pursuant to this Section
5.4(b)(ii) after the Revolving Termination Date shall be applied to the
installments due under Section 2.3 in the inverse order of maturity and shall be
accompanied with any amounts due under Section 6.5 as a result of such
prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the aggregate amount of the
Revolving Commitments shall not be reduced and Parent or a Subsidiary may retain
proceeds otherwise required to be delivered in accordance with the foregoing
from an Asset Disposition if (1) no Default exists and (2) in the event the
Person disposing of the asset in question reasonably expects to reinvest or has
already reinvested, pursuant to a plan of which the Asset Disposition was a
contemplated part, all of the Net Proceeds of such Asset Disposition in
productive assets then used or useable in its business or, in the case of
proceeds received due to loss, damage, destruction, or condemnation, to be used
for rebuilding, repairing or replacing assets, in each case committed to such
use within ninety (90) days after receipt of such proceeds and (B) an Asset
Disposition not permitted by Section 10.8 is not permitted under this Section
5.4(b)(ii). For purposes of this subsection 5.4(b) the following terms shall
have the following meanings:
"Asset Disposition" means the disposition whether by sale,
lease, sale/leaseback, transfer, loss, damage, destruction,
condemnation or otherwise of any assets of the Parent or any Subsidiary
other than the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business.
"Net Proceeds" means cash proceeds (including casualty
insurance proceeds paid with respect to damage to property) received by
Parent or any Subsidiaries from any Asset Disposition (including
payments under notes or other debt securities received in connection
with any Asset Disposition and insurance proceeds and awards of
condemnation), net of (a) the reasonable and customary costs of such
sale, lease, transfer, or other disposition (including reasonable and
customary professional fees and expenses and taxes attributable to such
sale, lease, or transfer which are actually expected to be paid) and
(b) amounts applied to repayment of Debt (other than the Obligations)
secured by a Lien on the asset disposed.
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 28
(iii) In the event and on each occasion, other than
as described in Section 5.4(b)(i) , that the sum of the total Revolving
Exposures exceeds the total Revolving Commitments, Borrower shall prepay the
Loans (or, if no Loans are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account
with Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(j)) in an amount equal to such excess.
Section 5.5. Method of Payment. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, all payments of principal, interest, and other amounts to be made by
Borrower or any Obligated Party under the Loan Documents shall be made to Agent
at the Principal Office for the account of each Bank's Applicable Lending Office
in Dollars and in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction, or
counterclaim, not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date on which such payment shall
become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed
to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Borrower and each
Obligated Party shall, at the time of making each such payment, specify to Agent
the sums payable under the Loan Documents to which such payment is to be applied
(and in the event that Borrower fails to so specify, or if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, Agent may apply such payment and any proceeds of
any Collateral to the Obligations in such order and manner as the Required Banks
may elect in their sole discretion, subject to Section 5.6 hereof). Each payment
received by Agent under any Loan Document for the account of a Bank shall be
paid to such Bank by 3:00 P.M. on the date the payment is deemed made to Agent
in immediately available funds, for the account of such Bank's Applicable
Lending Office. Whenever any payment under any Loan Document shall be stated to
be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in the computation of the payment of interest and commitment fee, as
the case may be.
Section 5.6. Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise
provided herein: (a) each Loan shall be made by the Banks, each payment of
commitment fees under Section 2.4 shall be made for the account of the Banks,
and each termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be applied
to the Revolving Commitments of the Banks, pro rata according to their
respective Commitment Percentages; (b) the making, Conversion, and Continuation
of Accounts of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section
6.4) shall be made pro rata among the Banks holding Accounts of such Type
according to their respective Commitment Percentages; (c) each payment and
prepayment of principal of or interest on Loans by Borrower shall be made to
Agent for the account of Agent or the Banks holding such Loans pro rata in
accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans or
participation interests held by Agent or such Banks; provided that as long as no
default in the payment of interest exists, payments of interest made when the
Banks are holding different types of accounts applicable to the same Loan as a
result of the application of Section 6.4 shall be made to the Banks in
accordance with the amount of interest actually owed to each; and (d) proceeds
of Collateral shall be shared by Agent and the Banks pro rata in accordance with
the respective unpaid principal amounts of and interest on the Obligations then
due Agent and the Banks. If at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any
amount distributed by Agent hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be restored
or returned by Agent as a preference, fraudulent conveyance, or otherwise under
any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, then each Person receiving any
portion of such amount agrees, upon demand, to return the portion of such amount
it has received to Agent.
Section 5.7. Sharing of Payments. If a Bank shall obtain payment of any
principal of or interest on any of the Obligations due to such Bank hereunder
directly (and not through Agent) through the exercise of any right of set-off,
banker's lien, counterclaim, or similar right, or otherwise, it shall promptly
purchase from the other Banks participations in the Obligations held by the
other Banks in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time
as shall be equitable to the end that all the Banks shall share the benefit of
such payment pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and interest on
the Obligations then due to each of them. To such end, all of the Banks shall
make appropriate
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 29
adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise)
if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter rescinded or must
otherwise be restored. Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively
do so under applicable law, that any Bank so purchasing a participation in the
Obligations held by the other Banks may exercise all rights of set-off, banker's
lien, counterclaim, or similar rights with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Bank were a direct holder of Obligations in the amount of such
participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise any
such right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain the
benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or
obligation of Borrower.
Section 5.8. Non-Receipt of Funds by Agent. Unless Agent shall have
been notified by a Bank or Borrower (the "Payor") prior to the date on which
such Bank is to make payment to Agent hereunder or Borrower is to make a payment
to Agent for the account of one or more of the Banks, as the case may be (such
payment being herein called the "Required Payment"), which notice shall be
effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required
Payment to Agent, Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and
may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the
amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date and, if the
Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to Agent, (a) the recipient of
such payment shall, on demand, pay to Agent the amount made available to it
together with interest thereon in respect of the period commencing on the date
such amount was so made available by Agent until the date Agent recovers such
amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such
period and (b) Agent shall be entitled to offset against any and all sums to be
paid to such recipient, the amount calculated in accordance with the foregoing
clause (a).
Section 5.9. Withholding Taxes. All payments by Borrower of amounts
payable under any Loan Document shall be payable without deduction for or on
account of any present or future taxes, duties, or other charges levied or
imposed by the United States of America or by the government of any jurisdiction
outside the United States of America or by any political subdivision or taxing
authority of or in any of the foregoing through withholding or deduction with
respect to any such payments (but excluding any tax imposed on or measured by
the net income or profit of a Bank pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in
which it is organized or in which the principal office or Applicable Lending
Office of such Bank is located or any subdivision thereof or therein). If any
such taxes, duties, or other charges are so levied or imposed, Borrower will
make additional payments in such amounts so that every net payment of amounts
payable by it under any Loan Document, after withholding or deduction for or on
account of any such present or future taxes, duties, or other charges, will not
be less than the amount provided for herein or therein, provided that Borrower
may withhold to the extent required by law and shall have no obligation to pay
such additional amounts to any Bank to the extent that such taxes, duties, or
other charges are levied or imposed by reason of the failure or inability of
such Bank to comply with the provisions of Section 5.10. Borrower shall furnish
promptly to Agent for distribution to each affected Bank, as the case may be,
official receipts evidencing any such withholding or reduction.
Section 5.10. Withholding Tax Exemption. Each Bank that is not
organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof
agrees that it will deliver to Borrower and Agent two duly completed copies of
the appropriate United States Internal Revenue Service Form certifying that such
Bank is entitled to receive payments from Borrower under any Loan Document
without deduction or withholding of any United States of America federal income
taxes. Each Bank which so delivers such a form further undertakes to deliver to
Borrower and Agent two (2) additional copies of such form on or before the date
such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event
requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by it, and such
amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably
requested by Borrower or Agent, in each case certifying that such Bank is
entitled to receive payments from Borrower under any Loan Document without
deduction or withholding of any United States of America federal income taxes,
unless an event (including without limitation any
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 30
change in treaty, law, or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which
any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms
inapplicable or which would prevent such Bank from duly completing and
delivering any such form with respect to it and such Bank advises Borrower and
Agent that it is not capable of receiving such payments without any deduction or
withholding of United States of America federal income tax.
ARTICLE VI.
Yield Protection and Illegality
Section 6.1. Additional Costs.
(a) Borrower shall pay directly to each Bank or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, from time to time such amounts as such Bank or the
Issuing Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any reasonable
costs incurred by such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, which such
Bank or the Issuing Bank determines are attributable to its making or
maintaining of any Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, subject to
Eurodollar Accounts hereunder or its obligation to make any of such Loans or
Letters of Credit hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such
Bank or the Issuing Bank hereunder in respect of any such Loans, such Letters of
Credit or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts
receivable being herein called "Additional Costs"), resulting from any
Regulatory Change which:
(i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts
payable to such Bank or the Issuing Bank under this Agreement or its Revolving
Notes in respect of any of such Loans or Letters of Credit (other than franchise
taxes and taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Bank or the Issuing
Bank or its Applicable Lending Office for any of such Loans or Letters of Credit
by the United States of America or the jurisdiction in which such Bank or the
Issuing Bank has its Principal Office or such Applicable Lending Office);
(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special
deposit, minimum capital, capital ratio, or similar requirement relating to any
extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other
liabilities or commitments of, such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, (including any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition
of "Eurodollar Rate" in Section 1.1 hereof); or
(iii) imposes any other condition affecting this
Agreement or the Revolving Notes or the Letters of Credit or any of such
extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments.
Each Bank and the Issuing Bank, as applicable, will notify Borrower (with a copy
to Agent) of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement which will
entitle such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to compensation
pursuant to this subsection 6.1(a) as promptly as practicable after it obtains
knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, and will
designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans or Letters of
Credit, as the case may be, affected by such event if such designation will
avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in
the sole opinion of such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, violate
any law, rule, or regulation or be in any way disadvantageous to such Bank or
the Issuing Bank. Each Bank and the Issuing Bank, as applicable, will furnish
Borrower with a certificate setting forth the basis and the amount of each
request of such Bank or the Issuing Bank for compensation under this subsection
6.1(a). If any Bank or the Issuing Bank requests compensation from Borrower
under this subsection 6.1(a), Borrower may, by notice to such Bank or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, (with a copy to Agent) suspend the
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 31
obligation of such Bank to make Loans subject to Eurodollar Accounts or Continue
Eurodollar Accounts as Eurodollar Accounts or Convert Base Rate Accounts into
Eurodollar Accounts or suspend the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue
Letters of Credit, as applicable, until the Regulatory Change giving rise to
such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 6.4
hereof shall be applicable with respect to such Eurodollar Accounts).
(b) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of
this Section 6.1, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any
Bank or the Issuing Bank either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured
by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or
other liabilities of such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, which
includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on the Loans subject
to Eurodollar Accounts is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category
of extensions of credit or other assets of such Bank which includes Loans
subject to Eurodollar Accounts or with respect to the Issuing Bank which
includes Letters of Credit or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount
of such a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold, then, if such
Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, so elects by notice to Borrower
(with a copy to Agent), the obligation of such Bank to make Loans subject to
Eurodollar Accounts or Continue Eurodollar Accounts as Eurodollar Accounts or
Convert Base Rate Accounts into Eurodollar Accounts hereunder or the obligation
of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit, as the case may be, shall be
suspended until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be
in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof shall be
applicable).
(c) Determinations and allocations by any Bank or the Issuing
Bank for purposes of this Section 6.1 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on
its costs of maintaining its obligation to make Loans, to issue Letters of
Credit, of making or maintaining Loans, of making or maintaining Letters of
Credit, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of the Loans or the Letters of
Credit, as the case may be, and of the additional amounts required to compensate
such Bank or the Issuing Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall, absent
manifest error, be conclusive, provided that such determinations and allocations
are made on a reasonable basis.
Section 6.2. Limitation on Eurodollar Accounts. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, if with respect to any Eurodollar Accounts under a
Loan for any Interest Period therefor:
(a) Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive)
that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the
definition of "Eurodollar Rate" in Section 1.1 hereof are not being provided in
the relative amounts or for the relative maturities for purposes of determining
the rate of interest for the Loans subject to such Eurodollar Accounts as
provided in this Agreement; or
(b) Required Banks determine (which determination shall be
conclusive) and notify Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in
the definition of "Adjusted Eurodollar Rate" in Section 1.1 hereof on the basis
of which the rate of interest for such Loans for such Interest Period is to be
determined do not accurately reflect the cost to the Banks of making or
maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period;
then Agent shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof specifying the relevant
Eurodollar Account and the relevant amounts or periods, and so long as such
condition remains in effect, the Banks shall be under no obligation to make
additional Loans subject to a Eurodollar Account or to Convert Base Rate
Accounts into Eurodollar Accounts and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the
then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurodollar Accounts, either
prepay the Loans subject to such Eurodollar Accounts or Convert such Eurodollar
Accounts into Base Rate Accounts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Determinations made under this Section 6.2 shall be made on a reasonable basis.
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 32
Section 6.3. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Bank or its Applicable
Lending Office to (a) honor its obligation to make Loans subject to a Eurodollar
Account hereunder or (b) maintain Loans subject to a Eurodollar Account
hereunder, then such Bank shall promptly notify Borrower (with a copy to Agent)
thereof and such Bank's obligation to make or maintain Loans subject to a
Eurodollar Account and to Convert Base Rate Accounts into Eurodollar Accounts
hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such Bank may again make and
maintain Loans subject to a Eurodollar Account (in which case the provisions of
Section 6.4 hereof shall be applicable).
Section 6.4. Treatment of Affected Loans. If the Accounts applicable to
a Loan of any Bank (hereinafter called "Affected Accounts") are to be Converted
pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.3 hereof, the Bank's Affected Accounts shall be
automatically Converted into Base Rate Accounts on the last day(s) of the then
current Interest Period(s) (or, in the case of a Conversion required by
subsection 6.1(b) or Section 6.3 hereof, on such earlier date as such Bank may
specify to Borrower with a copy to Agent) and, unless and until such Bank gives
notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 6.1 or 6.3
hereof which gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist: (a) to the extent
that such Bank's Affected Accounts have been so Converted, all payments and
prepayments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Bank's
Affected Accounts shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Accounts; and (b)
all Accounts which would otherwise be established or Continued by such Bank as
Eurodollar Accounts shall be made as or Converted into Base Rate Accounts and
all Accounts of such Bank which would otherwise be Converted into Eurodollar
Accounts shall be Converted instead into (or shall remain as) Base Rate
Accounts. If such Bank gives notice to Borrower (with a copy to Agent) that the
circumstances specified in Section 6.1 or 6.3 hereof which gave rise to the
Conversion of such Bank's Affected Accounts pursuant to this Section 6.4 no
longer exist (which such Bank agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances
ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Accounts are outstanding, such
Bank's Base Rate Accounts shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s)
of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar
Accounts to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all
Accounts held by the Banks holding Eurodollar Accounts and by such Bank are held
pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types, and Interest Periods) in accordance
with their respective Commitment Percentages.
Section 6.5. Compensation. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account
of each Bank, upon the request of such Bank, such amount or amounts as shall be
sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Bank) to compensate it for any
loss, cost, or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a) Any payment or prepayment of a Loan subject to a
Eurodollar Account or Conversion of a Eurodollar Account for any reason
(including, without limitation, the acceleration of the outstanding Loans
pursuant to subsection 12.2(a)) on a date other than the last day of an Interest
Period for the applicable Eurodollar Account; or
(b) Any failure by Borrower for any reason (including, without
limitation, the failure of any conditions precedent specified in Article VIII to
be satisfied) to borrow or prepay a Loan subject to a Eurodollar Account, or
Convert a Base Rate Account to a Eurodollar Account on the date for such
borrowing, Conversion, or prepayment specified in the relevant notice of
borrowing, prepayment, or Conversion under this Agreement.
Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall
include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
which otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid or Converted
or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, Conversion, or
failure to borrow to the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar
Account (or, in the case of a
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 33
failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Account which would
have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable rate
of interest for such Eurodollar Account provided for herein over (ii) the
interest component of the amount such Bank would have bid in the European
interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading banks and amounts comparable to
such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period.
Section 6.6. Capital Adequacy. If any Bank shall have determined that
any Regulatory Change has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Bank's (or its parent's) capital as a consequence of its
obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby to a level below
that which such Bank (or its parent) could have achieved but for such adoption,
implementation, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank's
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to
be material, then from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after demand
by such Bank (with a copy to Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Bank such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its parent) for
such reduction. A certificate of such Bank claiming compensation under this
Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it
hereunder shall be conclusive, provided that the determination thereof is made
on a reasonable basis. In determining such amount or amounts, such Bank may use
any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Subsidiary to evidence, perfect, or otherwise implement the guaranty and
security for repayment of the Obligations contemplated by a Guaranty, the
Subsidiary Security Agreement and, if applicable, a Subsidiary Pledge Agreement.

created or acquired after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the owner of the

determination exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), then, within
thirty (30) days after the date of determination, the Parent and Borrower shall
either (i) cause each Insignificant Subsidiary to execute and deliver such
documentation as the Agent may request to cause such Insignificant Subsidiary to
evidence, perfect, or otherwise implement the guaranty of and provision of
security for the Obligations contemplated by the Guaranty and the Subsidiary
Security Agreement or (ii) provide Agent written notice that the Insignificant
Subsidiaries shall be excluded from the calculation of all consolidated
financial covenants hereunder. If Parent and the Borrower elect to exclude the
Insignificant Subsidiaries from the calculation of all consolidated financial
covenants, then without any further amendment or other modification to the Loan
Documents, the Insignificant Subsidiaries shall thereafter be so excluded. In
calculating compliance with the financial covenants thereafter, the Parent will
show the calculations utilized to exclude the Insignificant Subsidiaries from
such financial covenants.

Agent
Section 13.1. Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Bank and the
Issuing Bank hereby appoints (and continues the appointment created by the
Original Credit Agreement) and authorizes Chase to act as its agent hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are specifically
delegated to Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such other
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Neither Agent nor any of its
Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents shall be liable
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them hereunder or
otherwise in connection with any Loan Document or any of the other Loan
Documents except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Agent (i) may treat
the payee of any Revolving Note as the holder thereof until it receives written
notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form
satisfactory to Agent; (ii) shall have no duties or responsibilities except
those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of any
Loan Document be a trustee or fiduciary for any Bank; (iii) shall not be
required to initiate any litigation or collection proceedings under any Loan
Document except to the extent requested by Required Banks; (iv) shall not be
responsible to the Banks for any recitals, statements, representations, or
warranties contained in any Loan Document, or any certificate or other
documentation referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under,

sufficiency of any Loan Document or any other documentation referred to or
provided for therein or for any failure by any Person to perform any of its
obligations thereunder; (v) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel
for Parent), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it
and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good
faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants, or
experts; and (vi) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan
Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate, or other instrument or
writing believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or
parties. As to any matters not expressly provided for by any Loan Document,
Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from
acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions signed by Required Banks, and
such instructions of Required Banks and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks; provided, however, that
Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes it to personal
liability or which is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law.
Section 13.2. Rights of Agent as a Bank. With respect to its Revolving
Commitment, the Loans made by it, the Letters of Credit issued by it as the
Issuing Bank, and the Revolving Note issued to it, Chase (and any successor
acting as Agent) in its capacity as a Bank hereunder shall have the same rights
and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it
were not acting as Agent, and the term "Bank" or "Banks" shall, unless the
context otherwise indicates, include Agent in its
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 58
individual capacity. Agent and its Affiliates may (without having to account
therefor to any Bank) accept deposits from, lend money to (as disclosed pursuant
to Section 13.9 or otherwise), act as trustee under indentures of, provide
merchant banking services to, and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust, or other business with Borrower, any Obligated Party or any other
Subsidiary, and any other Person who may do business with or own securities of
Borrower, any Obligated Party or any other Subsidiary, all as if it were not
acting as Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.
Section 13.3. Defaults. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of a Default (other than the non-payment of principal
of or interest on the Loans or of commitment fees) unless Agent has received
notice from a Bank, Parent or Borrower specifying such Default and stating that
such notice is a "Notice of Default." In the event that Agent receives such a
notice of the occurrence of a Default, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to
the Banks (and shall give each Bank prompt notice of each such non-payment).
Agent shall (subject to Section 13.1) take such action with respect to such
Default as shall be directed by Required Banks, provided that unless and until
Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated
to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default as it shall deem advisable and in the best interest of the Banks.
Section 13.4. Indemnification. THE BANKS HEREBY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY
AGENT FROM AND HOLD AGENT HARMLESS AGAINST (TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED UNDER
SECTIONS 14.1 AND 14.2, BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER AND
PARENT UNDER SECTIONS 14.1 AND 14.2), RATABLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR
RESPECTIVE COMMITMENT PERCENTAGES, ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES,
DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, DEFICIENCIES, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES
(INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES AND EXPENSES), AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR
NATURE WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST
AGENT IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY
ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY AGENT UNDER OR IN RESPECT OF ANY OF THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS; PROVIDED, THAT NO BANK SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY PORTION OF THE
FOREGOING TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY AGENT'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF
THE BANKS THAT AGENT SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED HEREUNDER FROM AND HELD HARMLESS
AGAINST ALL OF SUCH LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES,
ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, DEFICIENCIES, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS'
FEES AND EXPENSES), AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE
OF AGENT. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS SECTION, EACH BANK AGREES
TO REIMBURSE AGENT PROMPTLY UPON DEMAND FOR ITS PRO RATA SHARE (CALCULATED ON
THE BASIS OF THE COMMITMENT PERCENTAGES) OF ANY AND ALL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES
(INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES AND EXPENSES) INCURRED BY AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH
THE PREPARATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, ADMINISTRATION, MODIFICATION, AMENDMENT,
OR ENFORCEMENT (WHETHER THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS, LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, OR OTHERWISE)
OF, OR LEGAL ADVICE IN RESPECT OF RIGHTS OR RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER, THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS, TO THE EXTENT THAT AGENT IS NOT REIMBURSED FOR SUCH EXPENSES BY
BORROWER OR PARENT.
Section 13.5. Independent Credit Decisions. Each Bank agrees that it
has independently and without reliance on Agent or any other Bank, and based on
such documentation and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis of Borrower and decision to enter into any Loan
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 59
Document and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any
other Bank, and based upon such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in
taking or not taking action under any Loan Document. Except as otherwise
specifically set forth herein, Agent shall not be required to keep itself
informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower or any Obligated Party
of any Loan Document or to inspect the properties or books of Borrower or any
Obligated Party. Except for notices, reports, and other documents and
information expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by Agent hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents, Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other financial
information concerning the affairs, financial condition, or business of Borrower
or any Obligated Party (or any of their Affiliates) which may come into the
possession of Agent or any of its Affiliates.
Section 13.6. Several Revolving Commitments. The Revolving Commitments
and other obligations of the Banks under any Loan Document are several. The
default by any Bank in making a Loan in accordance with its Revolving Commitment
shall not relieve the other Banks of their obligations under any Loan Document.
In the event of any default by any Bank in making any Loan, each non- defaulting
bank shall be obligated to make its Loan but shall not be obligated to advance
the amount which the defaulting Bank was required to advance hereunder. No Bank
shall be responsible for any act or omission of any other Bank
Section 13.7. Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment and
acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at any time
by giving notice thereof to the Banks, the Issuing Bank, and Borrower, and Agent
may be removed at any time by Required Banks if it has breached its obligations
under the Loan Documents. Upon any such resignation or removal, Required Banks
will have the right to appoint a successor Agent with Borrower's consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Agent shall have been so
appointed by Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within
thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or
the Required Banks' removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may,
on behalf of the Banks and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent, which
shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of
America or any State thereof and having combined capital and surplus of at least
One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000). Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to
and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges, immunities, contractual
obligations, and duties of the resigning or removed Agent, and the resigning or
removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan
Documents. After any Agent's resignation or removal as Agent, the provisions of
this Article XIII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent.
Section 13.8. Agent Fee. Parent and Borrower, jointly and severally,
agree to pay to Chase the administrative fee described in the fee letter dated
December 12, 2001 among Parent, Borrower, X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc., and
Chase.
Section 13.9. Intercreditor Provisions. The Banks acknowledge that the
Obligated Parties are indebted to Chase pursuant to the Guarantees described on
Schedule 10.1 and have granted Liens to Chase to secure obligations arising in
connection therewith as reflected on Schedule 10.2 (such Liens granted pursuant
to the documents described in item 2 on Schedule 10.2 herein the "Lease Liens"
and the property in which the Lease Liens has been granted which is specifically
described on Annex A to Schedule 10.2, herein the "Lease Collateral"). In order
to induce the Banks to enter into this Agreement, Chase subordinates the Lease
Liens and makes them junior, second and inferior to the security interest of
Agent held for the benefit of the Banks under the Loan Documents in the Lease
Collateral. The foregoing subordination shall not impair the rights Chase has as
a Bank hereunder.

SEVERALLY, INDEMNIFY AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK, AND EACH BANK AND EACH AFFILIATE
(INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, X.X. XXXXXX SECURITIES, INC.) THEREOF AND THEIR

EACH OF THEM HARMLESS AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES,
PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE
ATTORNEYS' FEES AND EXPENSES) TO WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY BECOME SUBJECT WHICH
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISE FROM OR RELATE TO (A) THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION,
DELIVERY, PERFORMANCE, ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS, (B) ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (C)
ANY BREACH BY BORROWER OR ANY OBLIGATED PARTY OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY,
COVENANT, OR OTHER AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (D) THE
PRESENCE, RELEASE, THREATENED RELEASE, DISPOSAL, REMOVAL, OR CLEANUP OF ANY
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL LOCATED ON, ABOUT, WITHIN, OR AFFECTING ANY OF THE PROPERTIES
OR ASSETS OF PARENT OR ANY SUBSIDIARY, OR (E) ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR
OTHER PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY THREATENED INVESTIGATION,
LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING; PROVIDED THAT
THE PERSON ENTITLED TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE
INDEMNIFIED FROM OR HELD HARMLESS AGAINST ANY LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS,
DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF
OR RESULTING FROM ITS GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR BREACH OF ITS
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY PROVISION OF
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 61
ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH
PERSON TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED FROM AND HELD
HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES,
JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES AND
EXPENSES) ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE
OF SUCH PERSON.
Section 14.3. Limitation of Liability. None of Agent, any Bank, or any
Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent thereof shall have
any liability with respect to, and Parent, Borrower and, by the execution of the
Loan Documents to which it is a party each other Obligated Party, hereby waives,
releases, and agrees not to xxx any of them upon, any claim for any special,
indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages suffered or incurred by
Parent, Borrower or any other Obligated Party in connection with, arising out
of, or in any way related to any of the Loan Documents, or any of the
transactions contemplated by any of the Loan Documents.
Section 14.4. No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and
other professional Persons and consultants retained by Agent or any Bank shall
have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Agent and the Banks and
shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty
or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to Parent, Borrower or any of
Parent's shareholders or any other Person.
Section 14.5. No Fiduciary Relationship. The relationship between
Borrower and the Obligated Parties on the one hand and Agent and each Bank on
the other is solely that of debtor and creditor, and neither Agent nor any Bank
has any fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower or any Obligated
Parties, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be
construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower and the Obligated
Parties on the one hand and Agent and each Bank on the other to be other than
that of debtor and creditor.
Section 14.6. Equitable Relief. Parent and Borrower recognize that in
the event Borrower or any Obligated Party fails to pay, perform, observe, or
discharge any or all of the obligations under the Loan Documents, any remedy at
law may prove to be inadequate relief to Agent and the Banks. Parent and
Borrower therefore agree that Agent and the Banks, if Agent or the Required
Banks so request, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief
in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.
Section 14.7. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of
Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any Bank to exercise and no delay in exercising, and
no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power, or privilege under any
Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power, or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or
privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in the Loan Documents are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.
Section 14.8. Successors and Assigns.
(a) Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing
Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) neither the Borrower nor
the Parent may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Bank (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by Borrower or Parent without such consent shall be null
and void) and (ii) no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer its
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 62
rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing
in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any
Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in clause (d) of this
Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Bank Affiliate of
each of Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Banks) any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Assignments. Parent, Borrower, and each of the Banks agree
that any Bank (the "Assigning Bank") may assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Revolving
Exposure at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the Assigning Bank's Revolving
Commitment and the Revolving Exposure at the time owing to it or in the case of
an assignment to a Bank or a Bank Affiliate or an Approved Fund with respect to
a Bank, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose
includes the Revolving Exposure) or principal outstanding balance of the Loan of
the Assigning Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date
the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to
Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of Agent and, so long as
no Default exists, Borrower otherwise consent (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as
an assignment of a proportionate part of all the Assigning Bank's rights and
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Revolving
Commitment assigned, (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and
recordation fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500), and the
Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Bank, shall deliver to Agent an
administrative questionnaire in a form satisfactory to Agent, and (iv) in the
case of an assignment to a CLO, the Assigning Bank shall retain the sole right
to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, provided that the Assignment and Acceptance between the Assigning
Bank and such CLO may provide that the Assigning Bank will not, without the
consent of such CLO, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect
to the following: (A) any increase of such Bank's Revolving Commitment, (B) any
reduction of the principal amount of, or interest to be paid on, the Revolving
Note, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder to such Bank, (C) any
postponement of any date fixed for the payment of principal of, or interest on,
the Revolving Note payable to such Bank, or any fees or other amounts payable to
such Bank hereunder, or (D) the release of Borrower, any Obligated Party or any
Collateral. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Agent pursuant to
clause (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party
hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and
the Assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the
Assigning Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall
cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Section 14.2). Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations
under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated
for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with clause (d) of this Section.
(c) Information. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of Borrower, shall maintain at its Principal Office a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Revolving
Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to
each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive and Borrower, Parent, Agent, the
Issuing Bank, and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of
this Agreement,
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 63
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by Borrower, Parent, the Issuing Bank, or any Bank at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon its receipt of the
Eligible Assignee's completed administrative questionnaire in a form
satisfactory to Agent (unless the Eligible Assignee shall already be a Bank
hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this
Section, any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this
Section, and an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assigning Bank and
Eligible Assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with
any Revolving Notes subject to such assignment, Agent shall, if such Assignment
and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit B
hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information
contained therein in the Register, and (iii) give prompt written notice thereof
to Borrower. No assignment shall be effective for purpose of this Agreement
unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (c).
Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice Borrower, at its
expense, shall execute and deliver to Agent in exchange for the surrendered
Revolving Notes new Revolving Notes to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an
amount equal to the Revolving Commitments or Revolving Exposure assumed by it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assigning Bank has
retained Revolving Commitments or Revolving Exposure, Revolving Notes to the
order of the Assigning Bank in an amount equal to the Revolving Commitments or
Revolving Exposure retained by it hereunder (each such promissory note shall
constitute a "Revolving Note" for purposes of the Loan Documents). Such new
Revolving Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount of the surrendered
Revolving Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and
Acceptance, and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A
hereto.
(d) Participations. Any Bank may, without the consent of, or
notice to, Borrower, Parent, the Issuing Bank, or Agent, sell participations to
one or more banks or other entities (a "Participant") in all or a portion of
such Bank's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Revolving Commitment and/or the Revolving Exposure owing to it);
provided that (i) such Bank's obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, Parent, the
Issuing Bank, Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations
under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells
such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to the following: (A) any
increase of such Bank's Revolving Commitment, (B) any reduction of the principal
amount of, or interest to be paid on, the Revolving Note, or any fees or other
amounts payable hereunder to such Bank, (C) any postponement of any date fixed
for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Revolving Note payable to
such Bank, or any fees or other amounts payable to such Bank hereunder, or (D)
the release of Borrower, any Obligated Party or any Collateral. Subject to
clause (e) of this Section, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.9, 6.1 and 6.5 to the same extent as if
it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph
(b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.4 as though it were a Bank, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.7 as though it were a Bank. A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections
5.9 and 6.1 than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with
respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the
participation to such Participant is made with Borrower's prior written consent.
A Participant that is not organized under the laws of the United States of
America or a state thereof shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.9
unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and
such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section
5.10 as though it were a Bank
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 64
(e) Pledge to Federal Reserve. Any Bank may at any time pledge
or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including without limitation any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided
that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Bank
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee
for such Bank as a party hereto.
(f) Defined Terms. As used in this Section 14.8, the following
terms have the following meanings:
"Approved Fund" means (a) a CLO and (b) with respect to any

unreasonably withheld or delayed). If the consent of Borrower to an
assignment or to an Eligible Assignee is required hereunder (including
a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment
thresholds specified in paragraph (b)(i) of this Section), Borrower

Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by Borrower prior to
such fifth Business Day.
"Fund" means any Person (other than a natural Person) that is

Loan Document or in any document, statement, or certificate furnished in
connection with any Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of
the Loan Documents and no investigation by Agent or any Bank or any closing

Bank to rely upon them. Without prejudice to the survival of any other
obligation of Borrower or Parent hereunder, the obligations of Borrower and
Parent under Article VI and Sections 14.1 and 14.2 shall survive repayment of

Agreement) and agree that such Loan Documents continue to be legal, valid,
binding and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as

PARTY (BY ITS EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT BELOW), REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT
AS OF THE DATE HEREOF THERE ARE NO CLAIMS OR OFFSETS AGAINST OR DEFENSES OR
COUNTERCLAIMS TO ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. TO INDUCE AGENT AND
THE BANKS TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, PARENT, BORROWER AND EACH OTHER
OBLIGATED PARTY WAIVES ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, OFFSETS, DEFENSES OR COUNTERCLAIMS,
WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, ARISING PRIOR TO THE DATE HEREOF AND HEREBY RELEASES

ATTORNEYS (COLLECTIVELY THE "RELEASED PARTIES") FROM ANY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS,
INDEBTEDNESS, LIABILITY, CLAIMS, RIGHTS, CAUSES OF ACTION OR DEMANDS WHATSOEVER,
WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED WHICH PARENT, BORROWER OR ANY
OTHER OBLIGATED PARTY EVER HAD, NOW HAS, CLAIMS TO HAVE OR MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY
RELEASED PARTY ARISING PRIOR TO THE CLOSING DATE AND FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH
THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY. Without limiting

of Texas, National Association, who was formerly known as Texas Commerce Bank
National Association), as agent for itself and the other banks and lending
institutions named in this Agreement; and
(vii) the terms "FPMI" and Florida Psychiatric
Management, Inc. as used in any of the Loan Documents means HBS FL and Horizon
Behavioral Services of Florida, Inc., respectively.
Section 14.11. Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
any Loan Document to which Borrower or Parent is a party, nor any consent to any
departure by Borrower or Parent therefrom, shall in any event be effective: (a)
unless pursuant to an Increased Commitment Supplement executed in accordance
with the terms and conditions thereof and Section 2.6(b) which only needs to be
signed by Borrower, Parent, Agent and the Bank's increasing or providing new
Revolving Commitments thereunder and (b), in the case of this Agreement, and any
circumstance other than as described in clause (a) preceding; unless the same
shall be agreed or consented to by Required Banks, Parent and Borrower and in
the case of any other Loan Document, unless the same shall be agreed or
consented to by Agent acting with the consent of the Required Banks and the
other parties thereto. Each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver, or consent shall: (a)
without the consent of each Bank affected thereby: (i) increase the Revolving
Commitment of a Bank, (ii) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the
Revolving Notes or the LC Disbursements, or any fees or other amounts payable
hereunder to such Bank; (iii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of
principal of, or interest on, the Revolving Note payable to such Bank, the LC
Disbursements, or any fees or other amounts payable to such Bank hereunder; (b)
change the percentage of the Revolving Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Revolving Notes or the number of Banks which shall be
required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under any Loan Document
without the consent of all Banks; (c) change any provision contained in this
Section 14.11 without the consent of all Banks; or (d) release any Collateral or
release Borrower or any Obligated Party from liability without the consent of
all Banks. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section,
no amendment, waiver, or consent shall be made (a) with respect to Article XIII
hereof without the prior written consent of the Agent and (b) which affects the
rights or duties of the Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of the
Issuing Bank.
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 67
Section 14.12. Maximum Interest Rate.
(a) No interest rate specified in any Loan Document shall at
any time exceed the Maximum Rate. If at any time the interest rate (the
"Contract Rate") for any Obligation shall exceed the Maximum Rate, thereby
causing the interest accruing on such Obligation to be limited to the Maximum
Rate, then any subsequent reduction in the Contract Rate for such Obligation
shall not reduce the rate of interest on such Obligation below the Maximum Rate
until the aggregate amount of interest accrued on such Obligation equals the
aggregate amount of interest which would have accrued on such Obligation if the
Contract Rate for such Obligation had at all times been in effect.
(b) No provision of any Loan Document shall require the
payment or the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted
by applicable law. If any excess of interest in such respect is hereby provided
for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in any Loan Document or
otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this
Section shall govern and prevail and neither Borrower nor the sureties,
guarantors, successors, or assigns of Borrower shall be obligated to pay the
excess amount of such interest or any other excess sum paid for the use,
forbearance, or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. In the event any Bank
ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such sum, such amount which
would be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall be
applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of the Obligations, and, if
the principal of the Obligations has been paid in full, any remaining excess
shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest
paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and each Bank shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment
as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary
prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and
spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the
entire contemplated term of the Obligations so that interest for the entire term
does not exceed the Maximum Rate.
Section 14.13. Notices. All notices and other communications provided
for in any Loan Document to which Borrower or any Obligated Party is a party
shall be given or made in writing and telecopied, mailed by certified mail
return receipt requested, or delivered to the intended recipient at the "Address
for Notices" specified below its name on the signature pages hereof and, if to
an Obligated Party, at the address for notices for Parent, or, as to any party,
at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to each
other party given in accordance with this Section. Except as otherwise provided
in any Loan Document, all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly
given when transmitted by telecopy, subject to telephone confirmation of
receipt, or when personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, three
(3) Business Days after being duly deposited in the mails, in each case given or
addressed as aforesaid; provided, however, notices to Agent pursuant to Section
5.3 shall not be effective until received by Agent. Notices and other
communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by
electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by Agent; provided
that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II and
Sections 5.1 through 5.3 unless otherwise agreed by Agent and the applicable
Bank. Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and
other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to
procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be
limited to particular notices or communications. All notices and other
communications given to any party hereto by electronic communications in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been
given on the date of receipt.
Section 14.14. Governing Law; Venue of Service of Process. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Texas and the applicable laws of the United States of America. ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST PARENT OR BORROWER UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT - Page 00
XXXXX XXXXXXX XX XXXXXX, XXXXX OR ANY FEDERAL COURT IN THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF
TEXAS. PARENT AND BORROWER EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY (a) SUBMITS TO THE
