other Person) will be deemed to control such corporation or other Person.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) no individual shall be deemed to be an

the Consolidated EBITDA (if positive) attributable to the Property which is the
subject of such Material Disposition for such Test Period or increased by an
amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if negative) attributable thereto for

be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated Interest Expense for such Test
Period attributable to any Indebtedness of Infinity or any Subsidiary repaid,
repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged with respect to Infinity and its
Subsidiaries in connection with such Material Disposition (or, if the Capital
Stock of any Subsidiary is sold, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such Test
Period directly attributable to the Indebtedness of such Subsidiary to the
extent Infinity and its continuing Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such
Indebtedness after such Disposition); (ii) if during such Pro Forma Period
Infinity or any Subsidiary shall have made a Material Acquisition, Consolidated
EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such Test Period shall be
calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the incurrence or
assumption of any Indebtedness in connection therewith) as if such Material
Acquisition (and the incurrence or assumption of any such Indebtedness) occurred
on the first day of such Test Period; and (iii) if during such Pro Forma Period

Infinity or any Subsidiary since the beginning of such Pro Forma Period shall
have entered into any disposition or acquisition transaction that would have
required an adjustment pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above if made by Infinity
or a Subsidiary during such Pro Forma Period, Consolidated EBITDA and
Consolidated Interest Expense for such Test Period shall be calculated after
giving pro forma effect thereto as if such transaction occurred on the first day
of such Test Period. For the purposes of this paragraph, whenever pro forma
effect is to be given to a Material Disposition or Material Acquisition, the
amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated
Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness discharged or incurred in
connection therewith, the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good
faith by a Financial Officer of Infinity. If any Indebtedness bears a floating
rate of interest and the incurrence or assumption thereof is being given pro
forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as
if the rate in effect on the last day of the relevant Pro Forma Period had been
the applicable rate for the entire relevant Test Period (taking into account any
interest rate protection agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such
interest rate protection agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months).
Comparable adjustments shall be made in connection with any determination of
Consolidated EBITDA.

herewith), computed at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee
Rate on the average daily Commitment Fee Calculation Amount in respect of such
Lender during the period for which payment is made. All Commitment Fees shall be
computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days
and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June,
September and December, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or such earlier
date on which the Commitments shall be terminated, commencing on the first of

Lender on such Excess Utilization Day. All Utilization Fees shall be computed on
the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days and shall
be payable in arrears.
(d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, Eurodollar Loans shall bear interest
(computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360
days) at a rate per annum equal to in the case of each Eurodollar Loan, the
Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Loan plus the
Applicable Eurodollar Margin. The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period shall
be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise
the relevant Borrower and each Lender of such determination.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, ABR Loans shall
bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a
year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the
Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) at a rate per annum
equal to the Alternate Base Rate. The Alternate Base Rate shall be determined by
the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on each applicable
Interest Payment Date.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations, repayments and

aggregate principal amount of
21
17
the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to
$50,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. Unless
otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, in no event shall there be more
than 25 Eurodollar Tranches outstanding at any time.
(e) If no election as to the Type of Loan is specified in any
notice of borrowing with respect thereto, then the requested Loan shall be an
ABR Loan. If no Interest Period with respect to a Eurodollar Loan is specified
in any notice of borrowing, conversion or continuation, then the relevant
Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's
duration.
SECTION 2.8. Default Interest. (a) If all or a portion of the
principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Loans (whether or not
overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is equal to the rate that
would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.07
plus 2% and (b) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or any
Fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate otherwise applicable to ABR Loans
pursuant to Section 2.07(b) plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (a)
and (b) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in
full (as well after as before judgment).
SECTION 2.9. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on
each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of
any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan (i) the Administrative Agent shall
have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon each
Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market,
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate
for such Interest Period, or (ii) the Required Lenders shall have determined and
shall have notified the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate determined
or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of
making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, the
Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or
telecopy notice of such determination to the Borrowers and the Lenders. In the
event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have
advised the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such
notice no longer exist, (i) any request by a Borrower for a Eurodollar Loan
pursuant to Section 2.3 to be made after such determination shall be deemed to
be a request for an ABR Loan and (ii) any request by a Borrower for conversion
into or a continuation of a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.5 to be made
after such determination shall have no force and effect (in the case of a
requested conversion) or shall be deemed to be a request for a conversion into
an ABR Loan (in the case of a requested continuation). Each determination by
the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders hereunder shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.10. Termination, Reduction and Increase of
Commitments. (a) Upon at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable written or
telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent, Infinity may at any time in whole
permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the
Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the
Commitments shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 and in
integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) no such termination
or reduction shall be made if, after giving effect thereto and to any
prepayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, (x) the Outstanding
Extensions of Credit of any Lender would exceed such Lender's Commitment then in
effect or (y) the Total Facility Exposure would exceed the Total Commitment then
in effect. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any
notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10(a).
22
18
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.18, each
reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders
in accordance with their respective Commitments. Infinity agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, on the date of termination
or reduction of the Commitments, the Commitment Fees on the amount of the
Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued through the date of such
termination or reduction.
(c) Infinity shall have the right at any time and from time to
time to increase the Total Commitments to an aggregate amount, when added to the
aggregate amount of Total Commitments (as defined under the Five-Year Credit
Agreement) under the Five-Year Credit Agreement, not to exceed $3,500,000,000
(i) by requesting that one or more banks or other financial institutions not a
party to this Agreement become a Lender hereunder or (ii) by requesting that any
Lender already party to this Agreement increase the amount of such Lender's
Commitment; provided, that the addition of any bank or financial institution
pursuant to clause (i) above shall be subject to the consent of the
Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld);
provided further, the Commitment of any bank or other financial institution
pursuant to clause (i) above, shall be in an aggregate principal amount at least
equal to $10,000,000; provided further, the amount of the increase of any
Lender's Commitment pursuant to clause (ii) above when added to the amount of
such Lender's Commitment before the increase, shall be in an aggregate principal
amount at least equal to $10,000,000.
(d) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity
which elects to become a party to this Agreement and obtain a Commitment
pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.10 above shall execute a New Lender
Supplement (each, a "New Lender Supplement") with Infinity and the
Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit G, whereupon such
bank, financial institution or other entity (herein called a "New Lender") shall
become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party
hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, and
Schedule 1.1 shall be deemed to be amended to add the name and Commitment of
such New Lender.
(e) Any increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to clause
(c) of this Section 2.10 shall be effective only upon the execution and delivery
to Infinity and the Administrative Agent of a commitment increase letter in
substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto (a "Commitment Increase Letter"),
which Commitment Increase Letter shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent
not less than five Business Days prior to the Commitment Increase Date and shall
specify (i) the amount of the Commitment of any bank or financial institution
not a party to this agreement which is becoming a Lender or the amount of any
increase in the Commitment of any Lender and (ii) the date such increase is to
become effective (the "Commitment Increase Date").
(f) Any increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this
Section 2.10 shall not be effective unless:
(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing on the Commitment Increase Date;
(ii) each of the representations and warranties made by
Infinity and the Subsidiary Borrowers in Article III, or in any
certificate delivered pursuant hereto, shall be true and correct in all
material respects on the Commitment Increase Date with the same effect
as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such
representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date in
which case such representations and warranties shall be true and
correct in all material respects as of such earlier date;
23
19
(iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of (A)
a certificate of the corporate secretary or assistant secretary of the
Borrowers as to the taking of any corporate action necessary in
connection with such increase and (B) an opinion or opinions of general
counsel to the Borrowers as to their corporate power and authority to
borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase and such other
matters relating thereto as the Administrative Agent and its counsel
may reasonably request.
Each notice requesting an increase in the Total Commitments pursuant to this
Section 2.10 shall constitute a certification to the effect set forth in clauses
(i) and (ii) of this Section 2.10(e).
(g) No Lender shall at any time be required to agree to a
request of Infinity to increase its Commitment or obligations hereunder.
SECTION 2.11. Optional Prepayments of Loans. The relevant
Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in
part, without premium or penalty, upon giving irrevocable written or telecopy
notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or telecopy notice) to
the Administrative Agent: (i) before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three
Business Days prior to prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and (ii)
before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to prepayment, in
the case of ABR Loans. Such notice shall specify the date and amount of
prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans or a
combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to
each. If a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, the relevant Borrower shall also pay any
amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13. Upon receipt of any such notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such
notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on
the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of ABR Loans)
accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of
Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
SECTION 2.12. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the Closing Date any
change in applicable law or regulation (including any change in the reserve
percentages provided for in Regulation D) or in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof shall change the basis of taxation of
payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Loan
made by such Lender (other than changes in respect of taxes imposed on the
overall net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has
its principal office (or in which it holds any Eurodollar Loan) or by any
political subdivision or taxing authority therein and other than taxes that
would not have been imposed but for the failure of such Lender to comply with
applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting
requirements), or shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special
deposit or similar requirement against assets of or deposits with or for the
account of such Lender, or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank
market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loan made
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 Eurodollar Loan or to reduce
the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether
of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any Eurodollar Loan by an
amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the relevant Borrower agrees
to pay to such Lender as provided in paragraph (c) below such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.
24
20
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption
after the Closing Date hereof of any law, rule, regulation or guideline
regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any law, rule, regulation or
guideline regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or administration
of any of the foregoing by any Governmental Authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or any Lender's
holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, 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 Loans made by such Lender
pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding
company could have achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of
such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time Infinity agrees to
pay to such Lender as provided in paragraph (c) below such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding company for any
such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of each Lender setting forth such amount or
amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in
paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, and the basis therefor in
reasonable detail shall be delivered to the relevant Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The relevant Borrower shall pay each Lender
the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after its receipt
of the same.
(d) Except as provided in this paragraph, failure on the part
of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in
amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to
any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand
compensation with respect to any other period. The protection of this Section
2.12 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of
the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or
other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed so long as
it shall be customary for Lenders affected thereby to comply therewith. No
Lender shall be entitled to compensation under this Section 2.12 for any costs
incurred or reductions suffered with respect to any date unless it shall have
notified the relevant Borrower that it will demand compensation for such costs
or reductions under paragraph (c) above not more than 90 days after the later of
(i) such date and (ii) the date on which it shall have become aware of such
costs or reductions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.12,
no Lender shall demand compensation for any increased cost or reduction referred
to above if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such
Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable
provisions of other credit agreements, if any. In the event any Borrower shall
reimburse any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any cost and such Lender
shall subsequently receive a refund in respect thereof, such Lender shall so
notify such Borrower and, upon its request, will pay to such Borrower the
portion of such refund which such Lender shall determine in good faith to be
allocable to the cost so reimbursed. The covenants contained in this Section
2.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
SECTION 2.13. Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify
each Lender against any loss or expense described below which such Lender may
sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any failure by such Borrower to fulfill
on the date of any borrowing hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in
Article IV, (b) any failure by such Borrower to borrow, continue or convert any
Loan hereunder after irrevocable notice of such borrowing, continuation or
conversion has been given or deemed given pursuant to Article II or (c) any
payment, prepayment or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan made to such Borrower
required by any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made or deemed
made,
25
21
whatever the circumstances may be that give rise to such payment, prepayment or
conversion, or any transfer of any such Loan pursuant to Section 2.18 or 9.4(b),
on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;
provided, that any request for indemnification made by any Lender to any
Borrower pursuant to clause (c) hereof shall be accompanied by such Lender's
calculation of such amount to be indemnified. The loss or expense for which such
Lender shall be indemnified under this Section 2.13 shall be equal to the
excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of
obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, converted or not borrowed,
continued or converted (assumed to be the Eurodollar Rate in the case of
Eurodollar Loans) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment,
conversion or failure to borrow, continue or convert to the last day of the
Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, continue
or convert, the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the
date of such failure) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined
by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds
so paid, prepaid, converted or not borrowed, continued or converted for such
period or Interest Period, as the case may be; provided, however, that such
amount shall not include any loss of a Lender's margin or spread over its cost
of obtaining funds as described above. A certificate of any Lender setting forth
any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section 2.13 shall be delivered to the relevant Borrower and shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
SECTION 2.14. Pro Rata Treatment; Funding Matters; Evidence of
Debt. (a) Except as required under Section 2.18, each payment or prepayment of
principal of any Loan, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of
the Commitment Fees pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(i), and each reduction of the
Commitments, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with
their respective Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been
terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their
outstanding Loans). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender's portion
of any Loan to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion, round such Lender's percentage of such Loan to the next higher or
lower whole Dollar amount.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from a Lender prior to the relevant borrowing date that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's portion of a borrowing,
the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion
available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such borrowing in
accordance with this Agreement and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made
such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the
relevant Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day
from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such
amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of such
Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the relevant Loan and (ii)
in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Lender
shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount
shall constitute such Lender's Loan as part of such borrowing for the purposes
of this Agreement; provided, that such repayment shall not release such Lender
from any liability it may have to such Borrower for the failure to make such
Loan at the time required herein.
(c) The failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in
itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being
understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender).
26
22
(d) Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by
causing any domestic or foreign branch or affiliate of such Lender to make such
Loan; provided, that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation
of the relevant Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(e) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness to such Lender
resulting from each Loan made by it from time to time, including the amounts of
principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under
this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it
will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Borrower with
respect to each Loan, the Type of each Loan and each Interest Period, if any,
applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable
or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and
(iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from
any Borrower and each Lender's share thereof. The entries made in the accounts
maintained pursuant to this paragraph (e) shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender
or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall
not in any manner affect the obligations of any Borrower to repay the Loans in
accordance with their terms.
(f) In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, each Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed, by its execution and
delivery of a Subsidiary Borrower Request, to have appointed Infinity to act as
agent on behalf of such Subsidiary Borrower for the purpose of (a) giving any
notices contemplated to be given by such Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement, including, without limitation, borrowing notices, prepayment notices,
continuation notices, and conversion notices and (b) paying on behalf of such
Subsidiary Borrower any Subsidiary Borrower Obligations owing by such Subsidiary
Borrower; provided, that each Subsidiary Borrower shall retain the right, in its
discretion, to directly give any or all of such notices or make any or all of
such payments.
(g) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders
upon receipt of any Subsidiary Borrower Designation and Subsidiary Borrower
Request.
SECTION 2.15. Sharing of Setoffs. Except to the extent that
this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to Loans, each Lender
agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker's lien,
setoff or counterclaim against any Borrower, or pursuant to a secured claim
under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or
interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such
Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or
otherwise, or by any other means (other than pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement), obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any category
of its Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of such Loans
shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of such Loans of
any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such
other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the
purchase price for, a participation in such Loans of such other Lender, so that
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Loans and participations in such
Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of all such Loans then outstanding as the principal
amount of such Loans of each Lender prior to such exercise of banker's lien,
setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all such
Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or
counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that, if any such purchase or
purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.15 and the
payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or
purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and
the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. Any Lender
holding a participation in a Loan
27
23
deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's
lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by any
Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a
Loan directly such Borrower.
SECTION 2.16. Payments. (a) Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, each Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of
or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder without setoff
or counterclaim and shall make each such payment not later than 12:00 noon, New
York City time, on the date when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at
its offices at The Chase Manhattan Bank, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx
00000, in immediately available funds.
(b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest
on any Loan or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder shall become due, or
otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be
made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in
such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.
SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by each
Borrower hereunder to or for the benefit of a Non-U.S. Person shall be made, in
accordance with Section 2.16, free and clear of and without deduction for any
and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto imposed by or on behalf
of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, excluding taxes
imposed on (or measured by) such Non-U.S. Person's net income or net receipts,
franchise taxes, taxes on doing business or taxes imposed on capital or net
worth (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges,
withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If any
Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any
sum payable hereunder to a Non-U.S. Person, (i) the sum payable shall be
increased by the amount necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
2.17) such Non-U.S. Person shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make
such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to
the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.
(b) The relevant Borrower agrees to pay and reimburse on
demand all transfer, stamp, documentary or other similar taxes, assessments or
charges levied by any Governmental Authority in respect of this Agreement, any
of the Loans (all such taxes, assessments or charges hereinafter referred to as
"Other Taxes").
(c) The relevant Borrower will indemnify each Lender (or
Transferee) and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other
Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by the applicable jurisdiction
on amounts payable under this Section 2.17) paid by such Lender (or Transferee)
or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by
the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority. Such
indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date such Lender (or
Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written
demand therefor.
(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or
Other Taxes withheld by any Borrower in respect of any payment to a Non-U.S.
Person, such Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address
referred to in Section 9.1 for delivery to such Non-U.S. Person, the original or
a certified copy of a receipt (if available) evidencing payment thereof.
28
24
(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement
contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.17
shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans
made hereunder and of all other amounts payable hereunder.
(f) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a citizen or
resident of the United States of America, a corporation, partnership or other
entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States of
America, or any estate or trust that is subject to federal income taxation
regardless of the source of its income (a "Non-U.S. Person") shall deliver to
Infinity and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant, to the
Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two
copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or Form 4224, or, in
the case of a Non-U.S. Person claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding
tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of
"portfolio interest", a Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or
successors thereto (and, if such Non-U.S. Person delivers a Form W-8, an annual
certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Person is not a "bank" for purposes
of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the
meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of Infinity and is not a controlled
foreign corporation related to Infinity (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4)
of the Code)), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Person
claiming complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by
any Borrower under this Agreement. Such forms shall be delivered by each
Non-U.S. Person promptly after it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the
case of any participant, promptly after the date such participant purchases the
related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Person shall deliver such
forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously
delivered by such Non-U.S. Person. Each Non-U.S. Person shall promptly notify
Infinity at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide
any previously delivered certificate to Infinity (or any other form of
certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Unless
Infinity and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant, the
Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) have
received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments
hereunder are not subject to United States withholding tax, the relevant
Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall withhold taxes from such payments at
the applicable statutory rate in the case of payments of interest to or for any
Lender (or Transferee) that is a Non-U.S. Person. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 2.17(f), a Non-U.S. Person shall not be required to
deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.17(f) that such Non-U.S. Person is
not legally able to deliver by reason of the adoption of any law, rule or
regulation, or any change in any law, rule or regulation or in the
interpretation thereof, in each case occurring after the date such Non-U.S.
Person becomes a Lender (or Transferee).
(g) No Borrower shall be required to pay any additional
amounts to any Non-U.S. Person in respect of United States withholding tax
pursuant to paragraph (a) above (i) if the obligation to pay such additional
amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Person to
comply with the provisions of paragraph (f) above or (ii) in the case of a
Transferee, to the extent such additional amounts exceed the additional amounts
that would have been payable had no transfer or assignment to such Transferee
occurred; provided, however, that each Borrower shall be required to pay those
amounts to any Lender (or Transferee) that it was required to pay hereunder
prior to the failure of such Lender (or Transferee) to comply with the
provisions of such paragraph (f).
SECTION 2.18. Termination or Assignment of Commitments Under
Certain Circumstances. (a) Any Lender (or Transferee) claiming any additional
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.17 shall use reasonable
efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any
certificate or document requested by any Borrower or to change the jurisdiction
of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would
avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may
thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole
29
25
determination of such Lender (or Transferee), be otherwise disadvantageous to
such Lender (or Transferee).
(b) In the event that (x) any Lender shall have delivered a
notice or certificate pursuant to Section 2.12, (y) any Borrower shall be
required to make additional payments to any Lender under Section 2.17, or (z)
any Lender (a "Non-Consenting Lender") shall withhold its consent to any
amendment described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9.8(b) as to which consents
have been obtained from Lenders having Total Facility Percentages aggregating at
least 90%, Infinity shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to
such Lender (or Lenders) and the Administrative Agent, (i) to terminate the
Commitments of such Lender (except in the case of clause (z) above) or (ii) to
require such Lender (or, in the case of clause (z) above, each Non-Consenting
Lender) to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject
to the restrictions contained in Section 9.4) all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to one or more other financial institutions
acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld) which shall assume such obligations; provided, that (w) in the case of
any replacement of Non-Consenting Lenders, each assignee shall have consented to
the relevant amendment, (x) no such termination or assignment shall conflict
with any law, rule or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority, (y) the
Borrowers or the assignee (or assignees), as the case may be, shall pay to each
affected Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such termination
or assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on
the Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or
owed to it hereunder and (z) Infinity may not terminate Commitments representing
more than 10% of the original aggregate Commitments pursuant to this paragraph
(b).
ARTICLE III.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Infinity hereby represents and warrants, and each Subsidiary
Borrower by its execution and delivery of a Subsidiary Borrower Request
represents and warrants (to the extent specifically applicable to such
Subsidiary Borrower), to each of the Lenders that:
SECTION 3.1. Corporate Existence. Each of Infinity and each
Material Subsidiary: (a) is a corporation, partnership or other entity duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization; (b) has all requisite corporate or other power, and has all
material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals,
necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as
proposed to be conducted, except where the failure to have any of the foregoing
would not result in a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) is qualified to do
business in all jurisdictions in which the nature of the business conducted by
it makes such qualification necessary and where failure so to qualify would
result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.2. Financial Condition. (a) Each of (i) the
consolidated balance sheet of Infinity and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at
December 31, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash
flows of Infinity and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended on
such date, with the opinion thereon of KPMG LLP, heretofore furnished to each of
the Lenders, fairly present the consolidated financial condition of Infinity and
its Consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date and the consolidated results of
their operations for the fiscal year ended on such date in accordance with GAAP.
Neither Infinity nor any of its Material Subsidiaries had on such date any known
material contingent liability, except as referred to or reflected or provided
for in the Exchange Act Report or in such balance sheets (or the notes thereto)
as at such date.
30
26
(b) As of the date hereof, there has been no material adverse
change in the consolidated financial condition, operations, assets, business or
prospects taken as a whole of Infinity and its Consolidated Subsidiaries from
that set forth in the consolidated financial statements of Infinity for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 referred to in Section 3.2(a) (it being
agreed, however, that none of (i) the reduction by any rating agency of any
rating assigned to Indebtedness of Infinity, (ii) non-cash provisions for loan
losses and additions to valuation allowances, (iii) any change in GAAP or
compliance therewith and (iv) any legal or arbitral proceedings which have been
disclosed in the Exchange Act Report, whether threatened, pending, resulting in
a judgment or otherwise, prior to the time a final judgment for the payment of
money shall have been recorded against Infinity or any Material Subsidiary by
any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, and the judgment is
non-appealable (or the time for appeal has expired) and all stays of execution
have expired or been lifted shall, in and of itself, constitute such a material
adverse change).
SECTION 3.3. Litigation. Except as disclosed to the Lenders
in the Exchange Act Report filed prior to the Closing Date or otherwise
disclosed in writing to the Lenders prior to the Closing Date, there are no
legal or arbitral proceedings, or any proceedings by or before any Governmental
Authority, pending or (to the knowledge of Infinity) threatened against Infinity
or any of its Material Subsidiaries which have resulted in a Material Adverse
Effect (it being agreed that any legal or arbitral proceedings which have been
disclosed in the Exchange Act Report, whether threatened, pending, resulting in
a judgment or otherwise, prior to the time a final judgment for the payment of
money shall have been recorded against Infinity or any Material Subsidiary by
any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, and the judgment is
non-appealable (or the time for appeal has expired) and all stays of execution
have expired or been lifted shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to result in

other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each
Borrower, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding; and in any
event with respect to any Borrower described in paragraph (f) or (g) above, (A)

the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest
thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of each Borrower
accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable and (B) if such
Borrower is a Subsidiary Borrower, the principal of the Loans made to such

ARTICLE VII.
THE AGENTS
In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, each Agent is hereby appointed to act as Agent on behalf of the
Lenders. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms and provisions
hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders,
without hereby limiting any implied authority, (a) to receive on behalf of the
Lenders all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and all other
amounts due to the Lenders hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Lender
its proper share of each payment so received; (b) to give notice on behalf of
each of the Lenders to the Borrowers of any Event of Default specified in this
Agreement of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge acquired in
connection with its agency hereunder; and (c) to distribute to each Lender
copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by any
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement as received by the Administrative Agent.
Neither any Agent nor any of its directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by
any of them except for its or his own gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or
be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the
contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be required to
ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by any
Borrower of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in
this Agreement. The Agents shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the due
execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this
Agreement or other instruments or agreements. The Administrative Agent shall in
all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance
with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders (or, when expressly
required hereby, all the Lenders) and, except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be
binding on all the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall, in the absence of
knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or
43
39
document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons. Neither the Agents nor any of
their directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any responsibility to
any Borrower on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by
any Lender of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of
the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Agent, any other
Lender or any Borrower of any of their respective obligations hereunder or in
connection herewith. The Administrative Agent may execute any and all duties
hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall be entitled to rely upon
the advice of legal counsel selected by it with respect to all matters arising
hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith
by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.
The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent
shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by
it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement unless it shall be requested in
writing to do so by the Required Lenders.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at
any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation,
the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint from the Lenders a
successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders
and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint from the Lenders a
successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York,
New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an
affiliate of any such bank, which successor shall be acceptable to Infinity
(such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld). Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder. After the Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the
provisions of this Article and Section 9.5 shall continue in effect for its
benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was acting as Administrative Agent.
With respect to the Loans made by them hereunder, the Agents
in their individual capacity and not as Agents shall have the same rights and
powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though they were not
Agents, and the Agents and their affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money
to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any of
their respective Subsidiaries or any Affiliate thereof as if they were not
Agents.
Each Lender agrees (i) to reimburse the Administrative Agent
in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Total Facility Percentage or,
after the date on which the Loans shall have been paid in full, based on its
Total Facility Percentage immediately prior to such date) of any reasonable,
out-of-pocket expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the
Administrative Agent, including reasonable counsel fees and compensation of
agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, which
shall not have been reimbursed by or on behalf of any Borrower and (ii) to
indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and any of its directors,
officers, employees or agents, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and
against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in
its capacity as Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by it under this Agreement, to the
extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by or on behalf of Infinity;
provided, that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or any such
director, officer, employee or agent for any portion of such liabilities, taxes,
obligations, losses, damages,
44
40
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Administrative
Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Neither the Documentation Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents,
the Arrangers nor any managing agent shall have any duties or responsibilities
hereunder in its capacity as such.
ARTICLE VIII.
GUARANTEE
SECTION 8.1. Guarantee. In order to induce the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to become bound by this Agreement and to
make the Loans hereunder to the Subsidiary Borrowers, and in consideration
thereof, Infinity hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary
obligor and not merely as surety, to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable
benefit of the Lenders, the prompt and complete payment and performance by each
Subsidiary Borrower when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations, and Infinity further agrees
to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel) which may be paid or incurred by the
Administrative Agent or by the Lenders in enforcing, or obtaining advice of
counsel in respect of, any of their rights under the guarantee contained in this
Article VIII. The guarantee contained in this Article VIII, subject to Section
8.5, shall remain in full force and effect until the Subsidiary Borrower
Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated, notwithstanding
that from time to time prior thereto any Subsidiary Borrower may be free from
any Subsidiary Borrower Obligations.
Infinity agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to
time, it shall make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on
account of its liability under this Article VIII, it will notify the
Administrative Agent and such Lender in writing that such payment is made under
the guarantee contained in this Article VIII for such purpose. No payment or
payments made by any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person or received or
collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Subsidiary Borrower
or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or
appropriation or application, at any time or from time to time, in reduction of
or in payment of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify,
reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of Infinity under this Article
VIII which, notwithstanding any such payment or payments, shall remain liable
for the unpaid and outstanding Subsidiary Borrower Obligations until, subject to
Section 8.5, the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations are paid in full and the
Commitments are terminated.
SECTION 8.2. No Subrogation, etc. Notwithstanding any
payment or payments made by Infinity hereunder, or any set-off or application of
funds of Infinity by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, Infinity shall not
be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender against any Subsidiary Borrower or against any collateral security or
guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for
the payment of the Subsidiary Borrower
45
41
Obligations, nor shall Infinity seek or be entitled to seek any contribution,
reimbursement, exoneration or indemnity from or against any Subsidiary Borrower
in respect of payments made by Infinity hereunder, until all amounts owing to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Subsidiary Borrowers on account
of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are
terminated. So long as the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations remain outstanding,
if any amount shall be paid by or on behalf of any Subsidiary Borrower or any
other Person to Infinity on account of any of the rights waived in this Section
8.2, such amount shall be held by Infinity in trust, segregated from other funds
of Infinity, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Infinity, be turned over to
the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by Infinity (duly indorsed
by Infinity to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the
Subsidiary Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as
the Administrative Agent may determine.
SECTION 8.3. Amendments, etc. with respect to the
Subsidiary Borrower Obligations. Infinity shall remain obligated under this
Article VIII notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against
Infinity, and without notice to or further assent by Infinity, any demand for
payment of or reduction in the principal amount of any of the Subsidiary
Borrower Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be
rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any of the Subsidiary
Borrower Obligations continued, and the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations, or the
liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral
security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may,
from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified,
accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, and this Agreement and any other documents executed and
delivered in connection herewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or
terminated, in whole or in part, as the Required Lenders (or all Lenders, as the
case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security,
guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender for the payment of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations may be sold,
exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor
any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any
lien at any time held by it as security for the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations
or for the guarantee contained in this Article VIII or any property subject
thereto.
SECTION 8.4. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Infinity
waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any
of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Article
VIII or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Article VIII; the
Subsidiary Borrower Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been
created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in
reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article VIII; and all dealings
between Infinity or the Subsidiary Borrowers, on the one hand, and the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other, shall likewise be
conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the
guarantee contained in this Article VIII. Infinity waives diligence,
presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to
or upon Infinity or any Subsidiary Borrower with respect to the Subsidiary
Borrower Obligations. The guarantee contained in this Article VIII shall be
construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment
without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of
the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations or any collateral security therefor or
guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to
time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) the legality under
applicable requirements of law of repayment by the relevant Subsidiary Borrower
of any Subsidiary Borrower Obligations or the adoption of any requirement of law
purporting to render any Subsidiary Borrower Obligations null and void, (c) any
defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance
by the applicable Subsidiary Borrower) which may at any time be available to or
be asserted by Infinity against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (d)
any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without
46
42
notice to or knowledge of Infinity or any Subsidiary Borrower) which
constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal
discharge of any Subsidiary Borrower for any of its Subsidiary Borrower
Obligations, or of Infinity under the guarantee contained in this Article VIII,
in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When the Administrative Agent or any
Lender is pursuing its rights and remedies under this Article VIII against
Infinity, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no
obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any
Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person or against any collateral security or
guarantee for the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with
respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to
pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any
Subsidiary Borrower or any such other Person or to realize upon any such
collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any
release of any Subsidiary Borrower or any such other Person or of any such
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve Infinity of
any liability under this Article VIII, and shall not impair or affect the rights
and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders against Infinity.
SECTION 8.5. Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this
Article VIII shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Subsidiary
Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Subsidiary Borrower or upon or
as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or
trustee or similar officer for, any Subsidiary Borrower or any substantial part
of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
SECTION 8.6. Payments. Infinity hereby agrees that any
payments in respect of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations pursuant to this
Article VIII will be paid to the Administrative Agent without setoff or
counterclaim in Dollars at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in
Section 9.1.

(v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Agent or Lender and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by
the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with
their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are
required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as agent
of each Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a
copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of,
and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms
hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error and each Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection
by any Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.
(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and
Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative
Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall
already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to
49
45
in paragraph (b) above and, if required, the written consent of Infinity and the
Administrative Agent to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i)
accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained
therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to Infinity.
(f) Each Lender may without the consent of any Borrower or the
Agents sell participations to one or more banks, other financial institutions or
other entities (provided, that any such other entity is a not a competitor of
Infinity or any Affiliate of Infinity) all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments
and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, 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, (ii) the participating banks or other entities shall be
entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections
2.12, 2.13 and 2.17 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (provided, that
additional amounts payable to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 shall be
determined as if such Lender had not sold any such participations) and (iv) the
Borrowers, 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, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce the obligations of each Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve
any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other
than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder
or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the
Loans, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the
payment of interest on the Loans or of Commitment Fees, increasing the amount of
or extending the Commitments or releasing the guarantee contained in Article
VIII, in each case to the extent the relevant participant is directly affected
thereby).
(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any
assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to
this Section 9.4, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee
or participant any information relating to any Borrower furnished to such Lender
by or on behalf of such Borrower; provided, that, prior to any such disclosure
of information designated by such Borrower as confidential, each such assignee
or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute a
Confidentiality Agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree
(subject to the exceptions set forth therein) to preserve the confidentiality of
such confidential information. A copy of each such Confidentiality Agreement
executed by an assignee shall be promptly furnished to Infinity.
(h) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in paragraph (b)
above, (i) any Lender may at any time assign or pledge all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank and (ii) any Lender which
is a "fund" may at any time assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement to secure such Lender's indebtedness, in each case without
the prior written consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided,
that each such assignment shall be made in accordance with applicable law and no
such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. In
order to facilitate any such assignment, each Borrower shall, at the request of
the assigning Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning Lender a
registered promissory note or notes evidencing the Loans made to such Borrower
by the assigning Lender hereunder.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
any Bank (a "Granting Bank") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a
"SPC"), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Bank to
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower
all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated
to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that (i) nothing
herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan, and (ii) if an
SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to
50
46
provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to
make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of an Loan by an SPC
hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Bank to the same extent,
and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Bank. Each party hereto hereby
agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment
obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the
Granting Bank). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees
(which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to
the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all
outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will
not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In
addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section,
any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee
therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting
Bank or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and
Administrative Agent ) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the
account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii)
disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its
Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety,
guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This section may not
be amended without the written consent of any SPC which has been identified as
such by the Granting Bank to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and which
then holds any Loan pursuant to this paragraph (i).
(j) Neither Infinity nor any Subsidiary Borrower shall assign
or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior consent of
all the Lenders; provided, Infinity may assign or delegate any of its rights or
duties hereunder to any Subsidiary Borrower and any Subsidiary Borrower may
assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder to Infinity or to any
other Subsidiary Borrower, in each case without the prior consent of the
Lenders.
SECTION 9.5. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Infinity agrees to pay
all reasonable legal and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Chase
Securities Inc., in its capacity as a Lead Arranger, and the Administrative
Agent and their respective Affiliates in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement or in connection with any
amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not
the transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by any
Agent, any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of the rights
of the Agents, the Lenders under this Agreement or in connection with the Loans
made hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, counsel for Chase Securities Inc.,
in its capacity as a Lead Arranger, and the Administrative Agent , and, in
connection with any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of any other counsel for any Agent or Lender.
(b) Infinity agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent,
each Lender and each of their respective directors, officers, employees,
affiliates and agents (each, an "Indemnified Person") against, and to reimburse
each Indemnified Person, upon its demand, for, any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or other expenses ("Losses") to which such Indemnified Person
becomes subject insofar as such Losses arise out of or in any way relate to or
result from (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby (and any amendment hereto or thereto), the
performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations
hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby or (ii) the use (or proposed use) of the proceeds of the
Loans, including, without limitation, Losses consisting of reasonable legal,
settlement or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating,
defending or participating in any legal proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing (whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto);
51
47
provided, that the foregoing will not apply to any Losses to the extent they are
found by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. No
indemnified person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by
others of Information or other materials obtained through electronic,
telecommunications or other information transmission systems (provided, that the
foregoing will not apply to any Losses to the extent they are found by a final
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person).
(c) The provisions of this Section 9.5 shall remain operative
and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this
Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or
provision of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any
Agent or Lender. All amounts under this Section 9.5 shall be payable on written
demand therefor.
SECTION 9.6. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, each Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized
at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to
set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing
by such Agent or Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower
against any of and all the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement or the Administrative Agent Fee Letter held by
such Agent or Lender which shall be due and payable. The rights of each Agent
and each Lender under this Section 9.6 are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Agent or Lender may have.
SECTION 9.7. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE WITHIN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF
LAW PROVISIONS AND PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE.
SECTION 9.8. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of
any Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right
or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right
or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders
hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which
they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or
consent to any departure by any Borrower from any such provision shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below,
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Borrower in any
case shall entitle any Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be
waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement in writing entered
into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such
agreement shall (i), except pursuant to Section 2.10, reduce the amount or
extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or of any installment thereof,
interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment
thereof or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Commitment
of any Lender, in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby; (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this
Section 9.8(b), or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of
"Required Lenders", release the guarantee
52
48
contained in Article VIII or consent to the assignment or delegation by Infinity
or any Subsidiary Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (except (A) by Infinity to any Subsidiary Borrower or (B) by any
Subsidiary Borrower to Infinity or any other Subsidiary Borrower), in each case
without the prior written consent of all the Lenders; or (iii) amend, modify or
waive any provision of Article VII without the prior written consent of each
Agent affected thereby; provided, further that no such agreement shall amend,
modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent
hereunder in such capacity without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent.
SECTION 9.9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with
the Subsidiary Borrower Designations and the Subsidiary Borrower Requests)
constitutes the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject
matter hereof. Any previous agreement among the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement. Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than
the parties hereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by
reason of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING
OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A)
CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION 9.10.
SECTION 9.11. Severability. In the event any one or more of
the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to
replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions
the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 9.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
two or more counterparts, each of which constitute an original but all of which
when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become
effective as provided in Section 9.3.
SECTION 9.13. Headings. Article and Section headings and the
Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not
part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken
into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 9.14. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and
its Property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or
Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment,
and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in
such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in
any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Each Subsidiary Borrower designates and directs Infinity at its offices at 00
Xxxx 00xx
00
00
Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, as its agent to receive service of any and all
process and documents on its behalf in any legal action or proceeding referred
to in this Section 9.14 in the State of New York and agrees that service upon
such agent shall constitute valid and effective service upon such Subsidiary
Borrower and that failure of Infinity to give any notice of such service to any
Subsidiary Borrower shall not affect or impair in any way the validity of such
service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon.
Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Agent or any Lender
may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
against any Borrower or its Properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit,
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any New
York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to
service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.1. Nothing in
this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law.

confidential and not to disclose (and to cause its affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, agents and representatives to keep confidential and not to
disclose) and, at the request of Infinity (except as provided below or if such
Lender is required to retain any Confidential Information (as defined below)
pursuant to customary internal or banking practices, bank regulations or
applicable law), promptly to return to Infinity or destroy the Confidential
Information and all copies thereof, extracts therefrom and analyses or other
materials based thereon, except that such Lender shall be permitted to disclose
Confidential Information (i) to such of its officers, directors, employees,
agents, affiliates and representatives as need to know such Confidential
Information in connection with such Lender's participation in this Agreement,
each of whom shall be informed by such Lender of the confidential nature of the
Confidential Information and shall agree to be bound by the terms of this
Section 9.15; (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations or
by any subpoena or similar legal process or requested by any Governmental
Authority or agency having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided, however,
that, except in the case of disclosure to bank regulators or examiners in
accordance with customary banking practices, written notice of each instance in
which Confidential Information is required or requested to be disclosed shall be
furnished to Infinity not less than 30 days prior to the expected date of such
disclosure or, if 30 days' notice is not practicable under the circumstances, as
promptly as practicable under the circumstances; (iii) to the extent such
Confidential Information (A) is or becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Agreement, (B) becomes available to such Lender on a
non-confidential basis from a source other than a party to this Agreement or any
other party known to such Lender to be bound by an agreement containing a
provision similar to this Section 9.15 or (C) was available to such Lender on a
non-confidential basis prior to this disclosure to such Lender by a party to
this Agreement or any other party known to such Lender to be bound by an
agreement containing a provision similar to this Section 9.15; (iv) as permitted
by Section 9.4(g); or (v) to the extent Infinity shall have consented to such
disclosure in writing. As used in this Section 9.15, "Confidential Information"
shall mean any materials, documents or information furnished by or on behalf of
any Borrower in connection with this Agreement designated by or on behalf of
such Borrower as confidential.
(b) Each Lender (i) agrees that, except to the extent the
conditions referred to in subclause (A), (B) or (C) of clause (iii) of paragraph
(a) above have been met and as provided in
54
50
paragraph (c) below, (A) it will use the Confidential Information only in
connection with its participation in this Agreement and (B) it will not use the
Confidential Information in connection with any other matter or in a manner
prohibited by any law, including, without limitation, the securities laws of the
United States and (ii) understands that breach of this Section 9.15 might
seriously prejudice the interest of the Borrowers and that the Borrowers are
entitled to equitable relief, including an injunction, in the event of such
breach.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 9.15, each Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to retain all
Confidential Information for so long as it remains an Agent or a Lender to use
solely for the purposes of servicing the credit and protecting its rights
hereunder.

ANNEX I TO
CREDIT AGREEMENT
PRICING GRID
The Applicable Eurodollar Margin and the Applicable Commitment
Fee Rate shall be determined in accordance with this Pricing Grid based upon the
Debt Ratings established by the Rating Agencies; provided, that in the event
that the Debt Ratings shall correspond to different Categories, the
lower-numbered Category (with Category 1 being the lowest-numbered Category)
shall apply.

==========================================================================================================
For the purposes of determinations pursuant to this Pricing
Grid, (a) if either Rating Agency shall not have in effect a Debt Rating (other
than because such Rating Agency shall no longer be in the business of rating
corporate debt obligations), then such Rating Agency will be deemed to have
established a Debt Rating of below BBB- or below Baa3, as applicable; (b) if any
rating established or deemed to have been established by either Rating Agency
shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of
such Rating Agency), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it
is first announced by such Rating Agency; (c) any change in the Applicable
Eurodollar Margin or the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate resulting from a change
in the Debt Rating shall apply during the period commencing on the effective
date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective
date of the next such change; and (d) if the rating system of either Rating
Agency shall change, or if either Rating Agency shall cease to be in the
business of rating corporate debt obligations, amendments shall be negotiated in
good faith (and shall be effective upon approval by Infinity and the Required
Lenders) to the references to specific ratings in this Pricing Grid to reflect
such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such Rating
Agency.
