taxes imposed on the net income of a Lender and (y) franchise taxes imposed
on the net income of a Lender, in each case by the jurisdiction under the
laws
of which such Lender is organized or qualified to do business or a jurisdiction
or any political subdivision thereof in which the Lender engages in business
activity other than activity arising solely from the Lender having executed
this
Agreement and having enjoyed its rights and performed its obligations under
this
Agreement or any Loan Document or any political subdivision thereof (all
such
nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
liabilities, collectively or individually, being called "Taxes").
If a
Loan
Party
must
deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under
any
other Loan Document to a Lender, (x) the sum payable shall be increased by
the amount (an "additional
amount")
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions

such
Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had

Party
shall

were
correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared by such
Lender absent manifest error, shall be final conclusive and binding for all
purposes. Such indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after
the date such Lender makes written demand therefor. The Loan
Parties
shall
have the right to receive that portion of any refund of any Taxes and Other
Taxes received by a Lender for which any Loan
Party
has
previously paid any additional amount or indemnified such Lender and which
leaves the Lender, after such Loan Party's receipt thereof, in no better
or
worse financial position than if no such Taxes or Other Taxes had been imposed
or additional amounts or indemnification paid to the Lender. The Lender shall
have sole discretion as to whether (and shall in no event be obligated) to
make
any such claim for any refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes.

at
the Collateral Agent's
office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register
for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal
amount of each Lender's Notes owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms
hereof
from time to time (the "Register").
The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Collateral
Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes
of
this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall
be
available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable
time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
59
(d) Any
Lender may, without the consent of, but with prior notice to the
Collateral Agent,
sell participations to one or more entities (a "Participant")
in all
or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Notes owing to it); provided
that
(i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the
Collateral Agent
and
the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender
in
connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement,
and
(iv) except to the extent consented to by Collateral Agent
in
its sole discretion with respect to each participation, any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and
to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement.
(e) A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant.
(f) Any
Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if
any) to
secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to
secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided
that no
such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a
party
hereto.
(g) Any
Lender may make an assignment to any Person as provided for herein provided
that
(i) such Assignment is made in compliance with the Securities Act and any
applicable state securities laws, (ii) such Lender has provided the Borrower
with such information as to such Transferee's compliance with applicable
securities laws as reasonably may be requested by the Borrower. The Borrower
shall cooperate in connection with any such Transfer including providing
such
information to any Lender or such Lender's proposed Transferee as, in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to the transferor, may be necessary to satisfy
the
requirements of Rule 144A of the Securities Act in connection with any Transfer
to a "Qualified Institutional Buyer" under such rule. Upon any Transfer,
the
Transferee shall, to the extent of such Transfer, be entitled to exercise
the
rights of the Lender making such Transfer and shall thereunder be deemed
a
"Lender" under this Agreement.
(h) Upon
original issuance, and until such time as the same is no longer required
under
the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, each Note (and all securities
issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall bear the following
legend:

or not the Note shall have been marked to indicate such
consent.

THERETO, SUCH SERVICE BEING HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE BORROWER
TO BE
EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION
TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS WHICH
IT
MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
IN

63
10.18 Indemnification;
Damage Waiver.
(a) The
Loan
Parties, jointly and severally, and without limitation as to time, will defend
and indemnify the Lenders and their respective officers, directors, managers,
employees, attorneys and agents (each, an "Indemnified
Party")
against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, costs (including the costs of preparation and attorneys'
fees and expenses) (collectively, the "Losses")
incurred by any Indemnified Party as a result of, or arising out of, or relating
to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty
made by any Loan Party herein, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement
or obligation of any Loan Party contained in any of the Loan Documents or
(iii) any investigation or proceeding against a Loan Party or any
Indemnified Party and arising out of or in connection with this Agreement
or any
of the Loan Documents, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are consummated, which investigation or proceeding requires the
participation of, or is commenced or filed against, any Indemnified Party
because of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or such other
documents and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than
any
Losses resulting from action on the part of such Indemnified Party which
is
finally determined in such proceeding to be primarily and directly a result
of
such party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Loan Party agrees
to
reimburse each Indemnified Party promptly for all such Losses as they are
incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the investigation of,
preparation for or defense of any pending or threatened claim or any action
or
proceeding arising therefrom. The Lenders agrees to reimburse the Borrower
for
any payments made by the Borrower to the Lenders pursuant to this paragraph
for
Losses which are finally determined in such proceeding to primarily and directly
result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lenders. The
obligations of the Loan Parties under this paragraph will survive any transfer
of the Notes by the Lenders and the termination of this Agreement. In the
event
that the foregoing indemnity is unavailable or insufficient to hold an
Indemnified Party harmless, then the Loan Parties will contribute to amounts
paid or payable by such Indemnified Party in respect of such Indemnified
Party's
Losses in such proportions as appropriately reflect the relative benefits
received by and fault of the Borrower and such Indemnified Party in connection
with the matters as to which such Losses relate and other equitable
considerations.
(b) If
any
action, proceeding or investigation is commenced, as to which any Indemnified
Party proposes to demand such indemnification, it shall notify the Borrower
with
reasonable promptness; provided,
however,
that
any failure by such Indemnified Party to notify the Borrower shall not relieve
the Loan Parties from their obligations hereunder except to the extent the
Borrower are prejudiced thereby. The Loan Parties shall be entitled to assume
the defense of any such action, proceeding or investigation, including the
employment of counsel and the payment of all fees and expenses. The Indemnified
Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in connection with
any
such action, proceeding or investigation and to participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the
Indemnified Party, unless (i) the Loan Parties have failed to assume the
defense and employ counsel as provided herein, (ii) the Loan Parties have
agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses of separate counsel or
(iii) an action, proceeding, or investigation has been commenced against
both the Indemnified Party and/or a Loan Party and representation of both
such
Loan Parties and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be
inappropriate because of actual or potential conflicts of interest between
the
parties. In the case of any circumstance described in clauses (i), (ii) or
(iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Loan Parties shall be
responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel;
provided,
however,
that
the Borrower shall not in any event be required to pay the fees and expenses
of
more than one separate counsel (and, if deemed necessary by such separate
counsel, appropriate local counsel who shall report to such separate counsel)
for all Indemnified Parties. The Loan Parties shall be liable only for
settlement of any claim against an Indemnified Party made with the Loan Parties'
written consent.
(c) To
the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert,
and
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability,
for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct
or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the use of the
proceeds thereof. No Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising
from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials
distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information
transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
64
10.19 Regulatory
Requirements.
In
the
event of any reasonable determination by any Lender that, by reason of any
existing or future federal or state law, statute, rule, regulation, guideline,
order, court or administrative ruling, request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would
be
unlawful) (collectively, a "Regulatory
Requirement"),
such
Lender is effectively restricted or prohibited from holding any of the Notes,
or
otherwise realizing upon or receiving the benefits intended under the Notes,
the
Borrower shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries, to take such action as
such
Lenders and the Borrower shall jointly agree in good faith to be reasonably
necessary to permit such Lenders to comply with such Regulatory Requirement.
The
reasonable costs of taking such action shall be borne by the
Borrower.
10.20 USA
Patriot-Act Notice.
Each
Lender (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each
of the
Loan
Parties
that
pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.L.
107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Patriot
Act"),
it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the
Loan
Parties,
which
information includes the name and address of each of the Loan Parties and
other
information that will allow such Lender, as applicable, to identify each
Loan
Party in accordance with the Act.

Each
of
the Lenders hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Laminar as the Collateral
Agent of such Lender (or the Lenders represented by it) under this Agreement
and
the other Loan Documents for the term hereof (and Laminar hereby accepts
such
appointment) and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes Laminar to take
such
action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other
Loan
Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly
delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the
other
Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not have
any
duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein,
and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations
or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
or
otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Any reference to the Collateral
Agent in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer
to
the Collateral Agent solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent and not in
its
capacity, if any, as a Lender.
11.02 Delegation
of Duties.
The
Collateral Agent may execute any of its respective duties under this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and
shall
be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such
duties. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence
or
misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by the Collateral
Agent
with reasonable care.
65
11.03 Exculpatory
Provisions.
Neither
the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any
action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or
in
connection with this Agreement (except for actions occasioned by its or such
Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible
in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
or
any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents
or in
any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided
for
in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other
Loan
Document or for any failure of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to
perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall
not
be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions
of, this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties,
books or records of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.
11.04 Reliance
by Collateral Agent.
The
Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected
in
relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message,
statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or
Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without
limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may deem and treat
the
payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless the Collateral
Agent shall have actual notice of any transferee. The Collateral Agent shall
be
fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or
concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby,
all the
Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which
may
be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action
except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral
Agent
shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request
of the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby, all the Lenders),
and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall
be binding upon all the Lenders and all future Lenders.
11.05 Notices
of Default.
The
Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder or under any other Loan Document
unless it has received notice of such Event of Default in accordance with
the
terms of hereof or thereof or notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring
to
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, describing such Event of Default
and
stating that such notice is a "notice of default." In the event that the
Collateral Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof
to the Lenders. The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect
to such
Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders;
provided
that
unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received such directions,
the
Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as
it
shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders, except
to the
extent that other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
expressly require that any such action be taken or not be taken only with
the
consent and authorization or the request of the Lenders or Required Lenders,
as
applicable.
66
11.06 Non-Reliance
on the Collateral Agent and Other Lenders.
Each
of
the Lenders expressly acknowledges that neither the Collateral Agent nor
any of
its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact,
Subsidiaries or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to
it and
that no act by the Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any review
of
the affairs of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent to any
Lender.
Each of the Lenders, represents that it has made and will continue to make,
independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other
Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate
at the time, its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking
or not
taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make
such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness
of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents
expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Collateral Agent
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not
have
any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and
other
condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
which
may come into the possession of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or
Affiliates.
11.07 Indemnification.
Each
of
the Lenders hereby agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent in its capacity
as
such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to the respective
amounts of their Notes, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without
limitation, at any time following the payment of the Notes) be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent in any way relating
to or
arising out of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any documents
contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Collateral
Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided
that no
Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements to the extent they result from the Collateral Agent's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section
11.07
shall
survive the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder
and the
termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
11.08 The
Collateral Agent in Its Individual Capacity.
The
Collateral Agent and its respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates may make
loans
to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with
the
Borrower as though the Collateral Agent were not an Collateral Agent hereunder.
With respect to any Note issued to it, the Collateral Agent shall have the
same
rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Collateral Agent,
and
the term "Lenders" shall include the Collateral Agent in its individual
capacity.
67
11.09 Resignation
of the Collateral Agent; Successor Collateral Agent.
The
Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent at any time by giving
thirty (30) days advance notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower
and, thereafter, the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder. Upon any such resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, subject to the approval of the Borrower (so
long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; such approval not
to be
unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If no successor
Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, been
approved (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing)
by the
Borrower or have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after
the Collateral Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the Collateral
Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Collateral Agent
reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of
Default
has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor
Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent. After any
retiring Collateral Agent's resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the
provisions of this Section
11.09
shall
continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to
be taken by it while it was acting as Collateral Agent. If no successor has
accepted appointment as Collateral Agent by the date which is thirty (30)
days following a retiring Collateral Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring
Collateral Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective
and
the Required Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Collateral Agent
hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
agent as provided for above.
11.10 Reimbursement
by Lenders.
To
the
extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount
required under Section 10.02
or
Section 10.18
to be
paid by it to the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any Related
Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case
may
be, such Lender's applicable percentage thereof (determined as of the time
that
the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such
unpaid amount, provided
that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related
expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Collateral
Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related
Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Collateral Agent (or any such
sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. For the purposes of this Section
11.10, the "applicable percentage" of a Lender shall be the percentage of
the
total aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Notes held
by
such Lender at such time.
11.11 Reaffirmation
of Subdebt Obligations by Loan Parties; Assumption of MOAC obligations by
GFNA.
(a) Each
Loan
Party hereby ratifies this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which
it is
a party, and acknowledges and reaffirms (i) that it is bound by all terms
of
this Agreement and (ii) that it is responsible for the observance and full
performance of the Subdebt Obligations. Without limiting the generality of
the
proceeding sentence, GFNA confirms
that it jointly and severally guarantees the
prompt payment when due of the applicable Subdebt Obligations in accordance
with, and pursuant to the terms of, the Subdebt Parent
Guaranty.
68
(b) GFNA
hereby agrees that after giving effect to the Parent Merger on the Amendment
Effective Date, it has unconditionally assumed, and agrees that it will perform
and observe on and after such date, all SubDebt Obligations, covenants and
agreements to be performed by MOAC under the Loan Documents, and that as
of and
after the Amendment Effective Date it is and will be bound in all respects
by
all of the terms and conditions of, this Agreement, the Notes and each other
Loan Document to which MOAC was or is a party, as if the GFNA were an original
party thereto and regardless of whether such documents were enforceable
obligations of MOAC, without further action required on the part of either
party. In addition, as of the Effective Time, GFNA has assumed all liabilities
of MOAC arising out of all representations, documents, instruments and
certificates made or delivered by MOAC under or in connection with each Loan
Document (including, without limitation, the punctual payment when due of
the
principal, interest and fees owing thereunder from time to time) to which
MOAC
is a party. Further, GFNA hereby confirms and agrees that as of the Amendment
Effective Date the Loan Documents to which it is a party are, and shall continue
after the Amendment Effective Date to be, in full force and effect in accordance
with their respective terms and are hereby ratified and confirmed by GFNA
in all
respects, and the Subdebt Collateral Documents to which GFNA is a party and
all
of the Collateral described therein do secure the payment of the Subdebt
Obligations purported to be secured thereby in accordance with their respective
terms.
