		- 49 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(ii)

Any prepayment of the Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.10(g) shall be applied within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of the proceeds of Onshore Distributions as follows:

(1)

first, to the extent an Event of Default is continuing under Section 8.1(a) due to any amount of principal or interest on the Term Loans then being due and payable hereunder but not yet paid, an amount equal thereto shall be remitted to the Mandatory Prepayment Account and used to pay such amounts;

(2)

second, to the extent the aggregate amount of Available Cash then held by the Offshore Group Members is less than US$5,000,000, the Borrower (or the relevant Offshore Group Member) shall be permitted to retain such proceeds (and use such proceeds as it elects, subject to compliance with the terms of this Agreement) to the extent required to ensure that on the date of such application, the aggregate amount of Available Cash then held by the Offshore Group Members plus the amount of funds so retained is equal to US$5,000,000 (after taking into account the application of funds under this Section (b)(ii));

(3)

third, the remainder of such proceeds shall be remitted to the Interest Reserve Account to the extent required to ensure that on such date, the balance thereof equals the Minimum XXX Balance Amount; and

(4)

fourth, to the extent (A) the amount of Available Cash of the Offshore Group Members minus US$5,000,000 is less than (B) the US$ equivalent of the then Existing 2007 Bond Redemption Amount minus the amount on deposit in the Sinking Fund Account, the Borrower may remit the remainder of such proceeds to the Sinking Fund Account until the amount on deposit in the Sinking Fund Account equals the US$ equivalent of the then Existing 2007 Bond Redemption Amount; and

(5)

fifth, 100% of the remainder of such proceeds shall be used to prepay the Term Loans, and applied in forward order of maturity to the remaining scheduled Installments thereof; provided that if on the date of receipt by the Borrower (or the relevant Offshore Group Member) of such Onshore Distributions the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans is less than US$125,000,000, then instead the remainder of such proceeds in an amount equal to 50% of the original amount of the Onshore Distributions (or the remaining balance of the proceeds, if such amount is less) shall be used to prepay the Term Loans and applied in the foregoing manner, and any remainder following such application (“Retained Onshore Proceeds”) may be retained by the Borrower (or the relevant Offshore Group Member) and used as it elects, subject to compliance with the terms of this Agreement.


		- 50 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(iii)

The Borrower agrees that the proceeds from Onshore Distributions shall not be used, directly or indirectly, to fund the purchase, redemption or repayment of the Existing 2007 Bond or the Existing 2010 Bond (other than by way of funding the Sinking Fund Account in accordance with the terms of this Section); provided that the Borrower may use Retained Onshore Proceeds for such purposes if it would otherwise be permitted to use such proceeds to declare and pay a dividend to its shareholders pursuant to a Permitted Distribution.

(c)

Minimization of Break Funding Costs.

(i)

Subject to paragraph (ii) below, the Borrower may elect that any prepayment of the Term Loans required under Section 2.10 be applied in prepayment of the Term Loans on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto. If the Borrower makes that election, then the relevant proceeds shall be remitted to the Mandatory Prepayment Account (to the extent not already on deposit therein), and a proportion of the Term Loans equal to the amount of the relevant prepayment will be due and payable on the last day of the relevant Interest Period.

(ii)

If the Borrower has made an election under paragraph (i) above but an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, that election shall no longer apply and a proportion of the Term Loans in respect of which the election was made equal to the amount of the relevant prepayment shall be immediately due and payable (unless the Majority Lenders otherwise agree in writing), and the Borrower shall (or the Facility Agent may, pursuant to Section 2.12(f)) apply the relevant proceeds on deposit in the Mandatory Prepayment Account to make such payment.

2.12.

General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a)

All payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds, without defense, set-off or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Facility Agent (or the Initial Mandated Lead Arrangers, if applicable) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) (or such other customary time specified by the Facility Agent to the Borrower from time to time by prior written notice) on the due date at the Principal Office.


		- 51 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(b)

The Facility Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder that is not made in immediately available funds prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) (or such other customary time specified by the Facility Agent to the Borrower from time to time by prior written notice) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Facility Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become immediately available funds; and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. The Facility Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and each applicable Lender if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become immediately available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.6 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

(c)

All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Term Loan shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Term Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Term Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal, or as otherwise set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

(d)

The Facility Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall promptly distribute to each Lender to such account as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by the Facility Agent.

(e)

Whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to any Term Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be made on the next succeeding Business Day, unless such next succeeding Business Day falls in the next calendar month, in which case such payment shall instead be made on the first preceding Business Day.

(f)

The Borrower hereby authorizes the Facility Agent to charge the Interest Reserve Account and the Mandatory Prepayment Account in order to cause timely payment to be made to the Facility Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder or any other fund transfers specified herein (subject to sufficient funds being available in the Interest Reserve Account and the Mandatory Prepayment Account for that purpose).

(g)

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1, then all payments or proceeds received by the Agents hereunder in respect of any of the Obligations, shall be applied in accordance with the application arrangements described in the Intercreditor Agreement.


		- 52 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(h)

Where a sum is to be paid to the Facility Agent under the Credit Documents for another party under this Agreement, the Facility Agent is not obliged to pay such sum to such other party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received (or will receive, in the case of the disbursement of the Term Loans) such sum; and if the Facility Agent pays an amount to another party under this Agreement and it proves to be the case that the Facility Agent has not or does not actually receive such amount, then the party to whom such amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Facility Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Facility Agent together with interest on such amount from the date payment of the date of receipt by the Facility Agent, calculated by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

2.13.

Ratable Sharing.

The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Term Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due or owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender), which amount is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Facility Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment; and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon a Bankruptcy Event in respect of the Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Credit Party expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by such Credit Party to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

2.14.

Absence of Quotations.

Subject to Section 2.15, if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation to the Facility Agent by 12:00 noon (London time) one (1) London Business Day after the Quotation Day, then LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks (provided that at least two (2) Reference Banks provide a quotation).


		- 53 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

2.15.

Market Disruption.

(a)

If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Term Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s Term Loan for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum that is the sum of:

(i)

the Margin plus the Liquidity Premium; plus

(ii)

(if the Lender is a Specified Lender) the rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Specified Lender as soon as practicable and in any event by close of business five (5) London Business Days prior to the end of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Specified Lender of funding its participation in that Term Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; or

(iii)

(if the Lender is not a Specified Lender, but in respect of a Market Disruption Event under paragraph (1) of such definition only) the rate that is the weighted average of the rates of the Specified Lenders in the same Term Loan for that Interest Period as determined pursuant to paragraph (ii) above (expressed as a percentage rate per annum).

(b)

If (i) the percentage rate per annum notified by a Lender pursuant to paragraph (a)(ii) above is less than LIBOR; or (ii) a Lender has not notified the Facility Agent of a percentage rate per annum pursuant to paragraph (a)(ii) above, then the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Term Loan for that Interest Period shall be deemed, for the purposes of paragraph (a) above, to be LIBOR.

(c)

In this Agreement:

(i)

“Market Disruption Event” means:

(1)

at or about 12:00 noon (London time) on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Screen Rate is not available, and by 12:00 noon (London time) on the date falling one (1) London Business Day after the Quotation Day, none or only one of the Reference Banks has supplied a rate to the Facility Agent to determine LIBOR for the relevant Interest Period; or

(2)

before the close of business in Hong Kong on or before the date falling six (6) Business Days after the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Facility Agent receives notifications from Specified Lenders whose participations in the Term Loans equal or exceed 35% of the participations of all Specified Lenders in the Term Loans that the cost to each of them of obtaining matching deposits in the Relevant Interbank Market would be in excess of LIBOR; and


		- 54 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(ii)

“Specified Lender” means a Lender that is a commercial bank or other financial institution that customarily obtains funds for lending in a Relevant Interbank Market.

(d)

For the avoidance of doubt, if a Lender is not a Specified Lender, then in respect of a Market Disruption Event under paragraph (2) of such definition, the Screen Rate shall be used to determine the interest rate on its Term Loan.

2.16.

Illegality.

If on any date any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) shall have determined (which determination shall be made in good faith, but once made shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error, but shall be made only after consultation with the Borrower and the Facility Agent) that due to a Change in Law, the making, maintaining or continuation of its Term Loan Commitment or Term Loan has or will become unlawful due to compliance with any applicable law, then (a) the obligation of the Affected Lender to maintain its Term Loan Commitment or make its Term Loan on the Closing Date shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender; and (b) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain any outstanding Term Loan (an “Affected Loan”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loan and when required by applicable law, and the Borrower shall prepay the full amount of the Affected Loan (with interest accrued thereon) on the date of such termination. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Term Loans.

2.17.

Break Funding.

(a)

The Borrower shall, within ten (10) days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of a Term Loan being paid or prepaid by the Borrower on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Term Loan.

(b)

A notice of a Lender setting forth the amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in paragraph (a) of this Section shall be delivered (through the Facility Agent) to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such notice within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. Upon request by the Borrower, such Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, provide a copy of the calculations setting forth how the amount set forth in such notice was determined, which shall be for informational purposes only and shall not be deemed to affect the rights of any Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section.


		- 55 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(c)

For purposes of the foregoing, “Break Costs” means the amount (if any) by which:

(i)

the interest (excluding the Margin and the Liquidity Premium) that a Lender should have received for the period from the date of receipt of all or any part of its participation in a Term Loan to the last day of the current Interest Period in respect of that Term Loan, had the principal amount received been paid on the last day of that Interest Period;

exceeds:

(ii)

the amount that such Lender would be able to obtain by placing an amount equal to the principal amount received by it on deposit with a leading bank in the Relevant Interbank Market for a period starting on the Business Day following receipt or recovery and ending on the last day of the current Interest Period.

(d)

If the Borrower has delivered the Funding Notice to the Facility Agent and for any reason the borrowing of the Term Loans does not occur on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party (other than a Defaulting Lender) its break costs, being an amount equal to the amount (if any) by which (i) the interest (excluding the Margin and the Liquidity Premium) that a Lender should have received for the period from the Closing Date to the last day of the Interest Period set forth in the Funding Notice, had such Lender made its Term Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date and the Borrower repaid such Term Loan on the last day of such Interest Period; exceeds (ii) the amount that such Lender would be able to obtain by placing an amount equal to the principal amount of such Term Loan on deposit with a leading bank in the Relevant Interbank Market for such Interest Period.

2.18.

Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a)

If any Change in Law shall:

(i)

impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or

(ii)

impose on any Lender or the Relevant Interbank Market any other condition, cost or expense (but excluding any Excluded Taxes and any Indemnified WHT, which shall be addressed by the provisions of Section 2.19) affecting this Agreement or the Term Loans maintained by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Term Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Term Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, following delivery of the notice contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.


		- 56 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(b)

If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Term Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law other than due to Excluded Taxes or Indemnified WHT, which shall be addressed by the provisions of Section 2.19 (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, following delivery of a notice contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)

A notice of a Lender setting forth the amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such notice within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. Upon request by the Borrower, such Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, provide a copy of the calculations setting forth how the amount set forth in such notice was determined, which shall be for informational purposes only and shall not be deemed to affect the rights of any Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section.

(d)

Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 225 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 225-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

2.19.

Taxes; Withholding.

(a)

Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by or on behalf of any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax.


		- 57 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(b)

Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Taxes, other than an Excluded Tax, from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to any Finance Party under any of the Credit Documents (such Taxes, collectively, “Indemnified WHT”), then:

(i)

the Borrower shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement upon becoming aware of it;

(ii)

the Borrower shall pay any such Indemnified WHT before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Facility Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of the relevant Finance Party (such Finance Parties, the “Recipients”);

(iii)

such sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which any such Indemnified WHT is required to be paid shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after payment of the Indemnified WHT, the relevant Finance Party receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such payment of the Indemnified WHT been required or made; and

(iv)

within thirty (30) days after paying any sum from which it is required by applicable law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days after the due date of payment of any Indemnified WHT that it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, the Borrower shall deliver to the Facility Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the affected Finance Parties of such deduction, withholding or payment or the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority;

provided that no such additional amount shall be required to be paid to any Lender (other than a Lender that becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 2.22) under clause (iii) above to the extent that a Transfer of a Term Loan after the Signing Date results in an increase in the rate of such deduction, withholding or payment from that applicable to the assignor of such Term Loan as in effect on the date of such Transfer; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any other amounts shall be payable to a Lender to the extent such Lender’s assignor would have been entitled to receive such additional amounts.

(c)

Indemnification by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified WHT that are paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with any Credit Documents (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.19(c)) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified WHT (and any penalties or interest associated therewith) were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section shall be paid within 10 days after such Recipient delivers to the Borrower a notice stating the amount of any Indemnified WHT (and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto) so paid or payable by such Recipient and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such notice shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such notice to the Facility Agent.


		- 58 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(d)

Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable Indemnified WHT with respect to any payments under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Facility Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Facility Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Facility Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense (or, in the case of a Change in Law, any incremental material unreimbursed cost or expense) or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Facility Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section if it is legally eligible to do so. If any form, notice or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Facility Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form, notice or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

(e)

Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Finance Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified WHT as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Indemnified WHT giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, in no event shall any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.19 shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

2.20.

Obligation to Mitigate.

Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Term Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.18 or 2.19, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Term Loans, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender; or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances that would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts that would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19 would be reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Term Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Term Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section unless the Borrower agrees to pay the incremental expenses (if any) incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A notice as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Facility Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.21.

Defaulting Lenders.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender, other than at the direction or request of any regulatory agency or authority, defaults (a “Defaulting Lender”) in its obligation to fund (a “Funding Default”) any Term Loan (a “Defaulted Loan”), then during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Credit Documents. No Term Loan Commitment of any other Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section, performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the other Credit Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and which the Facility Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

Right of the Borrower to Replace Lenders.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that:

(a)

any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall (i) give notice to the Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.18 or 2.19, and the circumstances that have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or that entitle such Lender to receive such payments remain in effect; and (ii) fail to withdraw such notice within five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice; or

(b)

(i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender; and (ii) the Default Period for such Defaulting Lender shall remain in effect; or

(c)

in connection with any proposed change with respect to any of the provisions contemplated by Section 10.5(b), the consent of the Majority Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required pursuant to Section 10.5(b) shall not have been obtained;

then with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (in each case, a “Terminated Lender”), the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Facility Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby agrees) to Transfer (as defined in Section 10.6(b)) its outstanding Term Loan, Term Loan Commitments (if any) and all its other rights, title, interests and obligations under this Agreement in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 and the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such Transfer from an Increased-Cost Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, and the Defaulting Lender shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such Transfer from such Defaulting Lender; provided that:

(ii)

on the date of such Transfer, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 (if an Increased-Cost Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender), 2.18 or 2.19(b);

(iii)

in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such Transfer, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender; and

Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Term Loan Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof. Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause a Transfer by such Lender (as Terminated Lender), such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation (including an Assignment and Assumption) necessary to effectuate such Transfer in accordance with Section 10.6. In the event that a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Facility Agent to execute and deliver such documentation (including an Assignment and Assumption) on its behalf as may be required to give effect to a Transfer in accordance with Section 10.6 and any such documentation so executed by the Facility Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting a Transfer pursuant to Section 10.6 and the Facility Agent shall notify the Terminated Lender immediately after such Transfer.

SECTION 7. GUARANTY

7.1.	Guaranty of the Obligations.

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, each Guarantor jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties to the Facility Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

7.2.	Contribution by Guarantors.

All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date.

“Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor; to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed.


		- 101 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

“Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under applicable law; provided that solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of Section 7.2, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor.

“Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section), minus (b) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section.

7.3.	Payment by Guarantors.

Subject to Section 7.2, the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of the Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of an automatic stay under applicable law), the Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Facility Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest that, but for the Borrower’s becoming the subject to a Bankruptcy Event, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against the Borrower for such interest in the related Bankruptcy Event) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

7.4.	Liability of Guarantors Absolute.

(a)

Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance that constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(i)

this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability;


		- 102 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(ii)

the Facility Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between the Borrower and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(iii)

the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) and the obligations of the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against the Borrower or any other Guarantors and whether or not the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;

(iv)

payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that has not been paid; and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Facility Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v)

any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against the Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents or any Hedging Agreements; and


		- 103 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(vi)

this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents or any Hedging Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents, any of the Hedging Agreements or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document, such Hedging Agreement or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedging Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a Lien in any collateral that secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims that the Borrower may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.


		- 104 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(b)

This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety.

7.5.	Waivers by Guarantors.

Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries, (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person; (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of the Borrower or any other Person; or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law that provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior that amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, that are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder; (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof; (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims; and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any assets subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, under the Hedging Agreements or under any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to the Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law that limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or that may conflict with the terms hereof.


		- 105 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

7.6.	Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc.

Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower; and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against the Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against the Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the Facility Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to the Facility Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

7.7.	Subordination of Other Obligations.

Any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

7.8.	Continuing Guaranty.

This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.


		- 106 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

7.9.	Authority of Guarantors or the Borrower.

It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or the Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

7.10.

Financial Condition of the Borrower.

Any Term Loan may be made to the Borrower or continued from time to time, and any Hedging Agreements may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of the Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Hedging Agreement is entered into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents and the Hedging Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of the Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.

7.11.

Bankruptcy.

(a)

So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of the Majority Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing, or participate in or maintain, any Bankruptcy Event. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving a Bankruptcy Event of the Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense that the Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b)

Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations that are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order that may relieve the Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay the Facility Agent, or allow the claim of the Facility Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.


		- 107 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(c)

In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by the Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payments are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments that are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

7.12.

Termination.

The obligations of all Guarantors shall terminate on the date on which all Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash. In connection with such termination, the Security Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, execute and deliver to the Borrower and such Guarantor, at the sole costs and expenses of the Borrower or such Guarantor, all documents that such Guarantor or the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence such termination, in each case without any recourse, representation or warranty.

The provisions of Section 9 are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and no Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Mandated Lead Arranger and Lead Arranger, without consent of or notice to any party hereto, may assign any and all of its rights or obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates.

Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Credit Documents. Each Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. No Agent shall have, by reason hereof or any of the other Credit Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing herein or any of the other Credit Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Credit Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

9.3.	General Immunity.

(a)

No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or any other Credit Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by any Agent to the Lenders or by or on behalf of any Credit Party or to any Lender in connection with the Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Credit Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall any Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Credit Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Term Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Facility Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Term Loans. The Facility Agent may assume (unless it has received notice to the contrary in its capacity as agent for the Lenders) that (i) no Default has occurred (unless it has actual knowledge of a Default arising under Section 8.1(a)); (ii) any right, power, authority or discretion vested in any Finance Party or the Majority Lenders has not been exercised; and (iii) any notice or request made by the Borrower is made on behalf of and with the consent and knowledge of all the Credit Parties.

(b)

Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Credit Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Credit Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from the Majority Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.5) and, upon receipt of such instructions from the Majority Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Credit Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.5). Notwithstanding any other provision of any Credit Document to the contrary, none of the Agents, the Mandated Lead Arrangers or the Lead Arranger is obliged to do or omit to do anything if it would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of any law or regulation or a breach of a fiduciary duty or duty of confidentiality. Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige the Facility Agent to carry out any “know-your-customer” or other checks in relation to any Person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Facility Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it shall not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Facility Agent. The Facility Agent shall not be liable for any delay (or any related consequences) in crediting an account with an amount required under the Credit Documents to be paid by the Facility Agent if the Facility Agent has taken all necessary steps as soon as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any recognized clearing or settlement system used by the Facility Agent for the purpose of such payment. No party to this Agreement (other than the Agents) may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent of the Agents in respect of any claim it might have against the Agents or in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that officer, employee or agent in relation to any Credit Document or any Transaction Document and any officer, employee or agent of the Agents may rely on this Section.


		- 115 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(c)

Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section and of Section 9.6 shall apply to any of the Affiliates of each Agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Facility Agent or the Security Agent (as applicable). All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section and of Section 9.6 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by each Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Credit Parties and the Lenders; (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent; and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to the applicable Agent and not to any Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person and no Credit Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent.

9.4.	Agents Entitled to Act as Lender.

The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or other Finance Party hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Term Loans, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. Notwithstanding the above, in acting as facility agent for the Finance Parties or security agent for the Secured Parties, each Agent shall be regarded as acting through agency division of its financial institution which shall be treated as a separate entity from any of its other divisions or departments. Such Agent shall not be deemed to have received any notice or information if its agency division has not received such notice or information even if such notice or information may have been received by another division or department of such Agent’s financial institution.

9.5.	Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment.

(a)

Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with Term Loans hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of the Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Term Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to the Lenders.


		- 117 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(b)

Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Credit Document and each other document required to be approved by any Finance Party.

(c)

Without affecting the responsibility of any Credit Party for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Transaction Document, each Lender accepts and acknowledges to the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Lead Arranger that:

(i)

some or all of the information (including financial projections or other financial data) that has or may be provided to the Lenders (through the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers, the Lead Arranger or otherwise) is or may constitute (1) non-public information; or (2) relevant information (as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong (the “SFO”)) or similar applicable laws in any other applicable jurisdiction) in relation to the Borrower (collectively, “Price Sensitive Information”) and that the use of such information may be regulated or prohibited by applicable laws relating to, among other things, insider dealing or market abuse;

(ii)

upon possession of the Price Sensitive Information, a Lender may be prohibited or restricted under the applicable laws from, among other things, dealing in or counseling or procuring another Person to deal in the listed securities of the Borrower or its derivatives, or the listed securities of a related corporation (as defined in the SFO or similar applicable laws in any other applicable jurisdiction) of the Borrower or its derivatives, or otherwise from using or disclosing the Price Sensitive Information;

(iii)

none of the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers nor the Lead Arranger shall be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with distributing such Price Sensitive Information; provided that where it is required to act on the instructions of any Lender or the Lenders, the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, any Mandated Lead Arranger or the Lead Arranger may ask for a confirmation or certificate (in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, any Mandated Lead Arranger or the Lead Arranger, as applicable) confirming that the instructing Lender or Lenders is or are not in possession of any Price Sensitive Information and that it is or they are not instructing the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, any Mandated Lead Arranger or the Lead Arranger, as applicable, to act as a consequence of being in possession of any Price Sensitive Information; and

(iv)

any information received under or in connection with the Transaction Documents shall not be used by such Lender for any unlawful purpose, and each Lender shall make an independent evaluation of, and ensure its compliance with, any legal and regulatory restrictions on the use or disclosure of such information.


		- 118 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

9.6.	Right to Indemnity.

Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, to the extent that such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided that in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided further that this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

9.7.	Successor Facility Agent and Security Agent.

(a)

The Facility Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, and the Facility Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and the Facility Agent and signed by the Majority Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days notice to the Borrower, to appoint a successor Facility Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Facility Agent hereunder by a successor Facility Agent, that successor Facility Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Facility Agent and the retiring or removed Facility Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Facility Agent all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held under the Collateral Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Facility Agent under the Credit Documents; and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Facility Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Facility Agent of the Liens created under the Collateral Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed Facility Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Facility Agent, the Facility Agent shall have the right to appoint a financial institution to act as the Facility Agent hereunder; provided that the Facility Agent’s resignation shall become effective upon the appointment of a successor. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, any resignation or removal of the Person then acting as Facility Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute the resignation or removal of that same Person as the Security Agent (if such Person is then acting as the Security Agent). After any retiring or removed Facility Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Facility Agent, the provisions of Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Facility Agent hereunder. Any successor Facility Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Security Agent for all purposes hereunder. If the Person acting as the Facility Agent pursuant to this Section has resigned as the Facility Agent but retained its role as the Security Agent and no successor Security Agent has become the Security Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then such Person may resign as the Security Agent upon notice to the Borrower and the Majority Lenders at any time.

Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days notice to the Facility Agent, to appoint a successor Security Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Security Agent hereunder by a successor Security Agent, that successor Security Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Security Agent under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, and the retiring or removed Security Agent under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Security Agent all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder or under the Collateral Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Security Agent under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents; and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Security Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Security Agent of the Liens created under the Collateral Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed Security Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents. After any retiring or removed Security Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Security Agent, the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or the Collateral Documents while it was the Security Agent hereunder.

Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Facility Agent, the Security Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Facility Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Security Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof; and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Security Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Security Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Security Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Majority Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Security Agent at such sale or other disposition.

(c)

Rights under Hedging Agreements. No Hedging Agreement will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Hedge Counterparty that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Credit Documents except as expressly provided in Section 10.5(d)(i) of this Agreement or in the Intercreditor Agreement.

9.9.	Withholding Taxes.

To the extent required by any applicable law, the Facility Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable Indemnified WHT or other amount required to be withheld pursuant to Applicable Law. Each Lender shall severally indemnify (only to the extent that the Credit Parties have not already indemnified the Facility Agent for such amount and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so) the Facility Agent for any Indemnified WHT or other withholding tax attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Facility Agent in connection with any Credit Documents and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified WHT or other withholding tax (and any penalties or interest associated therewith) were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 9.9 shall be paid within 10 days after the Facility Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a notice stating the amount of any Indemnified WHT or other withholding tax (and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto) so paid or payable by the Facility Agent.

10.3.

Indemnity.

(a)

In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 10.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated or the Term Loans shall be borrowed, each Credit Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, each Finance Party and its officers, partners, members, directors, trustees, advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided that no Credit Party shall have any obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities (i) arise from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee; (ii) result from a material breach of the obligations of any that Indemnitee under the Credit Documents; or (iii) result from disputes brought by and between and among Indemnitees (not involving an act or omission of the Borrowers, the Credit Parties or their Affiliates as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). To the extent that the undertakings to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of or voidable under any applicable law (including for reasons of public policy), the applicable Credit Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

(b)

To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party to this Agreement shall assert, and each party hereby waives, any claim against each other party and its respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, arising out of, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and the Borrower (on behalf of itself and each other Credit Party) hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender hereunder, and participations therein and under the other Credit Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto, and participations therein or with any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder; or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Term Loans or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.

The applicable Lender shall notify the Obligors’ Agent and the Facility Agent of such set-off application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section.

The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date.” Any request, authority or consent of any Person that, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Term Loan Commitments or Term Loans.

(c)

Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time Transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment or Term Loans owing to it or other Obligations (provided however that pro rata Transfers shall not be required and each Transfer shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Term Loan and any related Term Loan Commitments):

Transfers made pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be effective as of the Assignment Effective Date. In connection with each Transfer, together with the Assignment and Assumption, there shall be delivered to the Facility Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to tax withholding matters as the Facility Agent may reasonably request, together with payment to the Facility Agent of a registration and processing fee of US$3,500 (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable in the case of a New Lender that satisfies the criteria of clause (a) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee”). In addition, the New Lender, if it shall not be an existing Lender, shall at the request of the Facility Agent (i) deliver to the Facility Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the New Lender designates one or more contact persons to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower, the Credit Parties and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the New Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including U.S. Federal and state securities laws; and (ii) supply, or procure the supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Facility Agent (for itself) in order for the Facility Agent to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and its internal policy pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Credit Documents.

(e)

Representations and Warranties of Lenders. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, and each New Lender upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Term Loans pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, as the case may be, represents and warrants to the Facility Agent that as of the Closing Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date, as applicable, that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the Term Loan Commitments or Term Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Term Loan Commitments or Term Loans for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Term Loan Commitments or Term Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other U.S. federal or other applicable securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section, the disposition of such Term Loan Commitments or Term Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

(f)

Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section, as of the Assignment Effective Date, (i) the New Lender shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments as reflected in the Register and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the New Lender, relinquish its rights (other than any rights that survive the termination hereof under Section 10.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date; provided that anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Term Loan Commitments shall be modified to reflect any Term Loan Commitment of such New Lender and any Term Loan Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such Transfer occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such Transfer or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to the Facility Agent for cancellation, and thereupon the Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the New Lender or assigning Lender, to such New Lender or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Term Loan Commitments or outstanding Term Loans of the New Lender or the assigning Lender.


		- 130 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(g)

Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or any Finance Party, sell participations to one or more banks or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and the Term Loans 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; and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents 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. 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; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 10.5(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 2.19 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.13 and 2.20 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.17 or 2.19, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Sections 2.13 and 2.20 (and the applicable provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments or Term Loans or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Term Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Each Lender that sells a participation (i) may prior to any such sale or transfer, notify each Participant of the provisions of Section 2.22, and (ii) may notify each Participant of any matter requiring the consent of the affected Lenders pursuant to Section 10.5(b) from time to time. If, when voting on a matter requiring the consent of affected Lenders pursuant to Section 10.5(b), a Lender splits its vote to reflect the instructions of its Participants, then any percentage of that Lender’s vote cast against the requested change on the instructions of its Participant (the dissenting portion) shall be treated as a Non-Consenting Lender and the Borrower may require such Lender to terminate, unwind, liquidate or otherwise cancel its arrangements with its Participant (with the dissenting portion) and transfer the interest, rights and obligations corresponding to the dissenting portion to the Replacement Lenders in accordance with Section 2.22.


		- 131 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(h)

Liens Granted by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time xxxxx x Xxxx in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any Lien to secure obligations to a U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such granting of a Lien; provided that no such granting of a Lien shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(i)

Disenfranchisement of Sponsor Affiliates.

(i)

For so long as a Sponsor Affiliate (i) beneficially owns any Term Loan Exposure; or (ii) has entered into a sub-participation agreement relating to a Term Loan Exposure or other agreement or arrangement having a substantially similar economic effect and such agreement or arrangement has not been terminated:

(1)

in ascertaining the Majority Lenders; or whether any relevant percentage (including, for the avoidance of doubt, unanimity) of Credit Participations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement); or the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve any request for a proposed change or to carry any other vote or approve any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, such Term Loan Exposure shall be deemed to be zero and, subject to paragraph (2) below, such Sponsor Affiliate (or the Person with whom it has entered into that sub-participation, other agreement or arrangement (a “Counterparty”)) shall be deemed not to be a Lender.


		- 132 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(2)

Paragraph (1) above shall not apply to the extent that a Counterparty is a Lender by virtue otherwise than by beneficially owning the relevant Term Loan Exposure.

(ii)

Each Sponsor Affiliate that is a Lender agrees that:

(1)

in relation to any meeting or conference call to which all the Lenders, all the Secured Parties or any combination of those groups of Secured Parties are invited to attend or participate, it shall not attend or participate in the same if so requested by the Security Agent or, unless the Security Agent otherwise agrees, be entitled to receive the agenda or any minutes of the same; and

(2)

it shall not, unless the Security Agent otherwise agrees, be entitled to receive any report or other document prepared at the request of, or on the directions of, the Security Agent or one or more of the Secured Parties.

10.7.

Independence of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

10.8.

Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Term Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements set forth in Sections 2.13, 2.17, 2.18, 2.19, 9.3(b), 9.6, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 shall survive the payment of the Term Loans.

10.9.

No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

No failure or delay on the part of any Finance Party in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Finance Party hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any applicable law or in any of the other Credit Documents or any Hedging Agreements. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.


		- 133 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

10.10.

Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.

Neither any Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to the Facility Agent (or to the Facility Agent, on behalf of the Lenders) or any other Secured Party, or any Agent or any other Secured Party enforces any Lien or exercises its rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any applicable law relating to a Bankruptcy Event or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

10.11.

Severability.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, if any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.12.

Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights.

The obligations of the Lenders under the Credit Documents are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

10.13.

Headings.

Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

10.18.

Usury Savings Clause.

(a)

For purposes of this Section, “Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum lawful interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, charged, or received under applicable law by or in respect of any Lender and that are presently in effect or, to the extent allowed by applicable law, that may hereafter be in effect and that allow a higher maximum non-usurious interest rate than applicable laws now allow.


		- 137 -		CREDIT AGREEMENT

(b)

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law, shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Term Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest that would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Term Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest that would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest that would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any and all applicable laws in respect of usury. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration that constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Term Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower.

10.19.

Counterparts.

This Agreement (and each amendment hereto or waiver granted in respect hereof) may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement (and each amendment hereto or waiver granted in respect hereof) by fax or any other electronic means (including e-mail) that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, amendment or waiver.

10.20.

Effectiveness.

This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by the Borrower and the Facility Agent of written notification (including by electronic communications in PDF format) of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

10.21.

USA Patriot Act.

Each Lender and the Facility Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Facility Agent, as applicable, to identify such Credit Party in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

10.22.

Electronic Execution of Assignments.

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

10.23.

No Fiduciary Duty.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each Finance Party and each of its Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may from time to time have or acquire economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower or another Group Member. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, any Group Member, their stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower and the other Group Members, on the other; (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Lenders is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, any other Group Member, their management, stockholders, creditors or any other person; (c) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower or any other Group Member with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its Affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower or any other Group Member on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower or other Group Member, except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents; and (d) the Borrower and the other Group Members have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it and the other Group Members are responsible for making their own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower or any other Group Member, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

10.24.

Borrower as Agent.

(a)

Each Offshore Group Member (other than the Borrower) by its execution of this Agreement or a Counterpart Agreement, irrevocably appoints the Borrower to act on its behalf as its agent in relation to the Credit Documents (in such capacity, the “Obligors’ Agent”) and irrevocably authorizes:

(i)

the Borrower on its behalf to supply all information concerning itself contemplated by this Agreement to the Finance Parties and to give all notices and instructions, to make such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements and variations capable of being given, made or effected by any Offshore Group Member notwithstanding that they may affect the Offshore Group Member, without further reference to or the consent of that Offshore Group Member; and

(ii)

each Finance Party to give any notice, demand or other communication that is required to be delivered to that Offshore Group Member pursuant to the Credit Documents to the Borrower,

and in each case the Offshore Group Member shall be bound as though the Offshore Group Member itself had given the notices and instructions or executed or made the agreements or effected the amendments, supplements or variations, or received the relevant notice, demand or other communication.

(b)

Every act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement, variation, notice or other communication given or made by the Obligors’ Agent or given to the Obligors’ Agent under any Credit Document on behalf of another Offshore Group Member or in connection with any Credit Document (whether or not known to any other Offshore Group Member and whether occurring before or after such other Offshore Group Member became a party to any Credit Document) shall be binding for all purposes on that Offshore Group Member as if that Offshore Group Member had expressly made, given or concurred with it. In the event of any conflict between any notices or other communications of the Obligors’ Agent and any other Offshore Group Member, those of the Obligors’ Agent shall prevail.
