is or can be conditioned or is subject to the sole and/or absolute discretion of the party

Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers shall negotiate in good faith to amend such
ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP
(subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended,
(i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such

Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to
Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).
1.05 Rounding.
Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement

ARTICLE II
THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS
2.01 Revolving Loans; Term Loan; Increase of Aggregate Revolving Commitments.
(a) Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each
Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrowers
from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to
exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (i) the Total
Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed an amount equal to (A) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments
less (B) the Bank Product Reserve, less (C) the Existing BP Reserve, less
(D) any other reserves established by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.01(c), and (ii)
the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such
Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and
subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section
2.01, prepay under Section 2.05, and re-borrow under this Section 2.01.
Revolving Loans shall be only Eurocurrency Rate Loans, except as provided herein, provided,
however, all Borrowings made on the Closing Date shall be made Eurocurrency Rate Loans
having an Interest Period of one month.
(b) Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender
severally agrees to make its portion of a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrowers on
the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Amounts repaid on
the Term Loan may not be re-borrowed. The Term Loan shall consist only of Eurocurrency Rate Loans,
as further provided herein, provided, however, all Borrowings made on the Closing
Date shall be made as Eurocurrency Rate Loans having an Interest Period of one month until sixty
Business Day following the Closing Date (or such earlier date as the Administrative Agent and the
Borrowers shall agree following the completion of the primary syndication of the Term Loan).
(c) Reserves. Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.01 notwithstanding,
Administrative Agent shall have the right to establish reserves against Availability in such
amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Administrative Agent in its discretion shall deem
necessary or appropriate, including reserves with respect to (i) sums that Borrowers or their
Subsidiaries are required to pay under any Section of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(such as taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other
amounts payable under such leases) and have failed to pay, and (ii) amounts owing by Borrowers or
their Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the
Collateral (other than a Permitted Lien), which Lien or trust, in the discretion of Administrative
Agent likely would have a priority superior to the Administrative Agent’s Liens (such as Liens or
trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or
suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority
under applicable law) in and to such item of the Collateral.
2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Term Loans.
(a) Each Borrowing comprised of a Term Loan (a “Term Loan Borrowing”), and each
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans comprised of Term Loans (each a “Eurocurrency Rate Term
Loan”) shall be made upon the Borrower Representative’s irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the Funding Date of any
Borrowing of or continuation
28
of Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans. Each telephonic notice by Borrower Representative pursuant
to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent
of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower
Representative. Each continuation of a Term Loan shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a
whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written)
shall specify (i) the requested date of the continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the
principal amount of Term Loans to be continued, and (iii) the duration of the Interest Period with
respect thereto. If Borrowers fail to give a timely notice requesting a continuation, then the
applicable Term Loans shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan having an Interest Period of
one month. Any automatic continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans shall be effective as of the
last day of the Interest Period then in effect. If Borrowers request a continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Term Loans in any Loan Notice, but fail to specify an Interest Period, Borrowers
will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.
(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Term Loans, and if no timely
notice of a continuation is provided by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall notify each
Lender of the details of any automatic continuation, as described in the preceding subsection. In
the case of a Term Loan Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Term Loan available to
the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable
currency not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice.
Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Term
Loan Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 5.01), the Administrative Agent
shall make all funds so received available to the Borrowers in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent either by wire transfer of such funds in accordance with instructions provided
to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by Borrower Representative.
2.03 Revolving Loan Borrowing Procedures and Settlements.
(a) Procedure for Borrowing. Each Borrowing comprised of Revolving Loans (a
“Revolving Loan Borrowing”) shall be made by an irrevocable written request by an
Authorized Person delivered to Administrative Agent. Unless Swing Line Lender is not obligated to
make a Swing Line Loan pursuant to Section 2.03(b) below, such notice must be received by
Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day that is the Funding Date
specifying (i) the amount of such Revolving Loan Borrowing, and (ii) the requested Funding Date,
which shall be a Business Day; provided, however, that if Swing Line Lender is not obligated to
make a Swing Line Loan as to a requested Revolving Loan Borrowing, such notice must be received by
Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to the date that is the
requested Funding Date. At Administrative Agent’s election, in lieu of delivering the
above-described written request, any Responsible Officer may give Administrative Agent telephonic
notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, Borrowers agree that any such
telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving of such telephonic
notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the
request.
(b) Making of Swing Line Loans. In the case of a request for a Revolving Loan and so
long as either (i) the aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans made since the last Settlement Date
plus the amount of the requested Revolving Loan does not exceed $2,500,000, or (ii) Swing Line
Lender, in its sole discretion, shall agree to make a Swing Line Loan notwithstanding the foregoing
limitation, Swing Line Lender shall make a Revolving Loan in the amount of such Revolving Loan
Borrowing (any such Revolving Loan made solely by Swing Line Lender pursuant to this Section
2.03(b) being referred to as a “Swing Line Loan” and such Revolving Loans being referred to
collectively as “Swing Line Loans”) available to Borrowers on the Funding Date applicable
thereto by transferring immediately available funds to Borrowers’ Designated Account. Each Swing
Line Loan shall be deemed to be a Revolving
29
Loan hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Revolving
Loans, except that all payments on any Swing Line Loan shall be payable to Swing Line Lender solely
for its own account. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(d)(ii), Swing Line Lender shall not
make and shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loan if Swing Line Lender has actual
knowledge that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article V will
not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Revolving Loan Borrowing, or (ii)
the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date. Swing
Line Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the applicable conditions
precedent set forth in Article V have been satisfied on the Funding Date applicable thereto prior
to making any Swing Line Loan. The Swing Line Loans shall be secured by the Administrative Agent’s
Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time
to Revolving Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(c) Making of Loans.
(i) In the event that Swing Line Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Line Loan,
then promptly after receipt of a request for a Revolving Loan Borrowing pursuant to Section
2.03(a), Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders, not later than 4:00 p.m. on the
Business Day immediately preceding the Funding Date applicable thereto, by telecopy,
telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing.
Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the requested
Revolving Loan Borrowing available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds,
to Administrative Agent’s Account, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Funding Date applicable
thereto. After Administrative Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans,
Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to Borrower Representative on
the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such
proceeds received by Administrative Agent to Borrower Representative’s Designated Account;
provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(d)(ii), Administrative
Agent shall not request any Lender to make, and no Lender shall have the obligation to make,
any Revolving Loan if Administrative Agent shall have actual knowledge that (1) one or more
of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article V will not be satisfied on the
requested Funding Date for the applicable Revolving Loan Borrowing unless such condition has
been waived, or (2) the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing would exceed the Availability on
such Funding Date.
(ii) Unless Administrative Agent receives notice from a Lender prior to 12:00 p.m. on
the date of a Revolving Loan Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when
required hereunder to Administrative Agent for the account of Borrowers the amount of that
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Loan Borrowing, Administrative Agent may
assume that each Lender has made or will make such amount available to Administrative Agent
in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Administrative Agent may (but shall
not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers on such
date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full
amount available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds and Administrative
Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrowers such amount, that Lender shall
on the Business Day following such Funding Date make such amount available to Administrative
Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day during such period.
A notice submitted by Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing
under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made
available, such payment to Administrative Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving
Loan on the date of a Revolving Loan Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such
amount is not made available to Administrative Agent on the Business Day following the
Funding Date,
30
Administrative Agent will notify Borrower Representative of such failure to fund and, upon
demand by Administrative Agent, Borrowers shall pay such amount to Administrative Agent for
Administrative Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since
the date of such Revolving Loan Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate
applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans composing such Revolving Loan Borrowing. The
failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan on any Funding Date shall not relieve any
other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make a Revolving Loan on such Funding Date, but
no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving
Loan to be made by such other Lender on any Funding Date.
(iii) Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender
any payments made by Borrowers to Administrative Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit,
and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent shall
transfer any such payments to each other non-Defaulting Lender member of the Lender Group
ratably in accordance with their Commitments (but only to the extent that such Defaulting
Lender’s Revolving Loan was funded by the other members of the Lender Group) or, if so
directed by Borrower Representative and if no Default or Event of Default had occurred and
is continuing (and to the extent such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan was not funded by
the Lender Group), retain same to be re-advanced to Borrowers as if such Defaulting Lender
had made Revolving Loans to Borrowers. Subject to the foregoing, Administrative Agent may
hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender
the amount of all such payments received and retained by Administrative Agent for the
account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to
matters with respect to the Loan Documents, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be
a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero. This Section shall
remain effective with respect to such Lender until (x) the Obligations under this Agreement
shall have been declared or shall have become immediately due and payable, (y) the
non-Defaulting Lenders, Administrative Agent, and Borrower Representative shall have waived
such Defaulting Lender’s default in writing, or (z) the Defaulting Lender makes its
Applicable Percentage of the applicable Revolving Loan and pays to Administrative Agent all
amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect thereof. The operation of this Section shall
not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or
excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and
obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrowers of their duties
and obligations hereunder to Administrative Agent or to the Lenders other than such
Defaulting Lender. Any such failure to fund by any Defaulting Lender shall constitute a
material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Borrower
Representative at its option, upon written notice to Administrative Agent, to arrange for a
substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender
to be acceptable to Administrative Agent. In connection with the arrangement of such a
substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced
hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Assumption
in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and
delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being repaid its share of the
outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations, but including an assumption of
its Applicable Percentage of the Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or
penalty of any kind whatsoever; provided however, that any such assumption of the Commitment
of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender
Groups’ or Borrowers’ rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of
or in relation to such failure to fund.
(d) Protective Revolving Loans.
31
(i) Administrative Agent hereby is authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders, from time
to time in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other
applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article V are not satisfied, to make Revolving
Loans to Borrowers on behalf of the Lenders that Administrative Agent, in its discretion
deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion
thereof, (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than Bank
Product Obligations), or (3) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement and the costs, fees, and expenses described in Section 11.04,
provided that the in no event shall Total Revolving Outstanding (after giving effect
to any such Revolving Loans) exceed the (i) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments less
(ii) the Bank Product Reserve, less (iii) the Existing BP Reserve, less (iv)
any other reserves established by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.01(c) (any of
the Revolving Loans described in this Section 2.03(d)(i) shall be referred to as
“Protective Revolving Loans”).
(ii) Each Protective Revolving Loan shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder,
except that no Protective Revolving Loan shall be eligible to be a Eurocurrency Rate Loan
and all payments on the Protective Revolving Loans shall be payable to Administrative Agent
solely for its own account. The Protective Revolving Loans shall be repayable on demand,
secured by the Administrative Agent’s Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear
interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Revolving Loans that are Eurocurrency
Rate Loans. The provisions of this Section 2.03(d) are for the exclusive benefit of
Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit any
Borrower in any way.
(e) Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Revolving Loans
is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the
outstanding Revolving Loans. Such agreement notwithstanding, Administrative Agent, Swing Line
Lender, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of any Borrower)
that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
settlement among the Lenders as to the Revolving Loans, the Swing Line Loans, and the Protective
Revolving Loans shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) Administrative Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the
Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Administrative
Agent (1) on behalf of Swing Line Lender, with respect to the outstanding Swing Line Loans,
(2) for itself, with respect to the outstanding Protective Revolving Loans, and (3) with
respect to Borrowers’ or their Subsidiaries’ Collections received, as to each by notifying
the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such
requested Settlement, no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately prior to the
date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the
“Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of
the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans, and Protective Revolving Loans
for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein (including Section 2.03(c)(iii)): (y) if a Lender’s balance of the
Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans and Protective Revolving Loans) exceeds such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans and
Protective Revolving Loans) as of a Settlement Date, then Administrative Agent shall, by no
later than 3:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a
Deposit Account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate), an amount such that each
such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its
Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans and Protective
Revolving Loans), and (z) if a Lender’s balance of the Revolving Loans (including Swing
Line Loans and Protective
32
Revolving Loans) is less than such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Loans
(including Swing Line Loans and Protective Revolving Loans) as of a Settlement Date, such
Lender shall no later than 3:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately
available funds to the Administrative Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Lender
shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Applicable
Percentage of the Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans and Protective Revolving
Loans). Such amounts made available to Administrative Agent under clause (z) of the
immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swing
Line Loans or Protective Revolving Loans and, together with the portion of such Swing Line
Loans or Protective Revolving Loans representing Swing Line Lender’s Applicable Percentage
thereof, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made
available to Administrative Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto
to the extent required by the terms hereof, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest
thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate.
(ii) In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans
and Protective Revolving Loans is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Protective Revolving
Loans as of a Settlement Date, Administrative Agent shall, as part of the relevant
Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by
Administrative Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrowers and
allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral. To the extent that a net
amount is owed to any such Lender after such application, such net amount shall be
distributed by Administrative Agent to that Lender as part of such next Settlement.
(iii) Between Settlement Dates, Administrative Agent, to the extent no Protective
Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Swing Line Lender any
payments received by Administrative Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans, for application to Swing
Line Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Loans. If, as of any Settlement Date,
Collections of Borrowers or their Subsidiaries received since the then immediately preceding
Settlement Date have been applied to Swing Line Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the
Revolving Loans other than to Swing Line Loans, as provided for in the previous sentence,
Swing Line Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, and
Administrative Agent shall pay to the Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Revolving
Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount,
have, as of such Settlement Date, its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Loans. During
the period between Settlement Dates, Swing Line Lender with respect to Swing Line Loans,
Administrative Agent with respect to Protective Revolving Loans, and each Lender (subject to
the effect of agreements between Administrative Agent and individual Lenders) with respect
to the Revolving Loans other than Swing Line Loans and Protective Revolving Loans, shall be
entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the
daily amount of funds employed by Swing Line Lender, Administrative Agent, or the Lenders,
as applicable.
(f) Notation. Administrative Agent shall record on its books the principal amount of
the Revolving Loans owing to each Lender, including the Swing Line Loans owing to Swing Line
Lender, and Protective Revolving Loans owing to Administrative Agent, and the interests therein of
each Lender, from time to time and such records shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be
presumed to be correct and accurate.
33
(g) Lenders’ Failure to Perform. All Revolving Loans (other than Protective Revolving
Loans) shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Applicable
Percentages. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other
Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loan (or other extension of credit)
hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any
failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender
to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder.
2.04 Continuations and Conversions of Loans.
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, each Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued only on
the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the existence of a
Default, no Loans may be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans without the consent of the Required
Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency
Rate Loans be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders
of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon
determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the
Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower Representative and the Lenders of any change in Xxxxx
Fargo’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of
such change.
(c) After giving effect to all Borrowings and all continuations of Loans, there shall not be
more than five (5) Eurocurrency Rate Loans in effect at any given time.
2.05 Prepayments.
(a) Voluntary Prepayments of Loans. Borrowers may, upon written notice to the
Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Loans and the
Term Loan in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice
must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to
any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and any such prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof
(or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding); and any prepayment of the Term
Loan shall be applied to the remaining principal amortization payments in their inverse order.
Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Interest Period(s) of
such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such
notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such
notice is given by a Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of
a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid,
together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section
9.03, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Applicable Percentages.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.
(i) Revolving Commitments. If for any reason the Total Revolving Outstandings
at any time exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrowers shall
immediately prepay Revolving Loans and/or the Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the
L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 105% of such excess; provided,
however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations pursuant to this
34
Section 2.05(b)(i) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans
and Swing Line Loans the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments then in effect.
(ii) Release of Cash Collateral. The Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in
accordance with the terms hereof promptly upon the receipt by Borrowers of not less than
$3,990,000 which was used by Borrowers to Cash Collateralize letters of credit issued by
Bank of America, N.A. pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of November 19,
2004 by and among, inter alia, TRM, TRM LTD, Bank of America, N.A. and Borrowers, and the
elimination by Administrative Agent of the Existing BP Reserve and the concomitant release
of and receipt by Borrowers of not less than $4,500,000 used by Borrowers to Cash
Collateralize the obligations associated therewith, in an amount equal to the entire
proceeds so received by Borrowers, to be applied as follows: First, to the
repayment of the Term Loan in an amount equal to $4,500,000 and second, to the
repayment of Revolving Loans.
(iii) Dispositions and Involuntary Dispositions. The Borrowers shall prepay
the Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as hereafter provided in an
aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of all Dispositions (other than
Permitted Transfers) and Involuntary Dispositions in excess of $500,000 per fiscal year of
TRM to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are not reinvested in Eligible Assets within 180
days of the date of such Disposition or Involuntary Disposition; provided that such
Net Cash Proceeds shall not be reinvested in Eligible Assets if a Default exists at the time
of such Disposition. Any prepayment pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be applied as set
forth in clause (vii) below.
(iv) Consolidated Excess Cash Flow. Within ninety days after the end of each
fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, the Borrowers shall
prepay the Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as hereafter provided in an
aggregate amount equal to 50% (or, if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of
any such fiscal year is less than 2.0 to 1.0, 25%) of the US Pro Rata Share of Consolidated
Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year (provided that and for so long as any portion of
Consolidated Excess Cash Flow otherwise payable hereunder, but not constituting the US Pro
Rata Share, is actually paid and applied to the repayment of the UK Indebtedness in
accordance with the terms of the UK Loan Documents). Any prepayment pursuant to this clause
(iii) shall be applied as set forth in clause (vii) below). For purposes of this clause
2.05(b)(iv), “US Pro Rata Share” means the proportion that the Outstanding Amount
bears to the then outstanding principal balance of all loan and other obligations
outstanding under the UK Loan Documents.
(v) Debt Issuances. Immediately upon receipt by any Loan Party of the Net Cash
Proceeds of any Debt Issuance, the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans and/or Cash
Collateralize the L/C Obligations as hereafter provided in an aggregate amount equal to 100%
of such Net Cash Proceeds (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vii)
below).
(vi) Equity Issuances. Immediately upon the receipt by TRM of the Net Cash
Proceeds of any Equity Issuance, the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans and/or Cash
Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash
Proceeds.
(vii) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Unless a Default or Event of
Default exists all amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)
shall be applied as follows:
35
(A) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i),
to Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans and (after all Revolving Loans and all Swing
Line Loans have been repaid) to Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations; and
(B) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Sections
2.05(b)(iii), (iv), (v) and (vi), to the Term Loan (to
the remaining principal amortization payments in their inverse order).
Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments shall be
applied to Eurocurrency Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities.
All prepayments under this Section 2.05(b) shall be subject to Section
3.05, but otherwise without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by
interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.
Application of repayments of the Obligations after acceleration or maturity thereof
shall be governed by Section 9.03 hereof.
(viii) Eurocurrency Prepayment Account. If the Borrowers are required to make
a mandatory prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans under clauses (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of
this Section 2.05(b), so long as no Event of Default exists, the Borrowers shall
have the right, in lieu of making such prepayment in full, to deposit an amount equal to
such mandatory prepayment with the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account
maintained (pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent)
by and in the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. Any amounts so
deposited shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the prepayment of such
Eurocurrency Rate Loans and shall be applied to the prepayment of the applicable
Eurocurrency Rate Loans at the end of the current Interest Periods applicable thereto or,
sooner, at the election of the Administrative Agent, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default. At the request of Borrower Representative, amounts so deposited shall be invested
by the Administrative Agent in Cash Equivalents maturing on or prior to the date or dates on
which it is anticipated that such amounts will be applied to prepay such Eurocurrency Rate
Loans; any interest earned on such Cash Equivalents will be for the account of the Borrowers
and the Borrowers will deposit with the Administrative Agent the amount of any loss on any
such Cash Equivalents to the extent necessary in order that the amount of the prepayment to
be made with the deposited amounts may not be reduced.
2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.
The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, (a) terminate the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments, and (b) from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments to an amount not less than the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans
and L/C Obligations; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon five (5) Business Days prior to the date of
termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments
shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof
and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the
Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, such sublimit
shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be applied to
the Revolving Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued
with respect thereto until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
36
2.07 Repayment of Loans.
(a) Revolving Loans. The Borrowers shall repay the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Revolving Loans on the Maturity Date.
(b) Swing Line Loans. The Borrowers shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier

(c) Term Loan. The Borrowers shall repay the outstanding principal amount of the Term
Loan in equal quarterly installments of $125,000 on the last day of each March, June, September and
December commencing on September 30, 2006 (as such installments may hereafter be adjusted as a
result of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.05), unless accelerated sooner pursuant to
Section 9.02 with the full outstanding principal balance being due and payable on the
Maturity Date.
2.08 Interest.
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per
annum equal to the sum of the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the
Applicable Margin; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof from the applicable date of conversion at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin; (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal
to the Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and (iv) all other Obligations (except
for undrawn Letters of Credit and except for Bank Product Obligations) that have been charged to
the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the daily balance thereof at a
rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any
applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such
amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by a Borrower under any
Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required
Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum
at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the
Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations
hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due
interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be
due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after
the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
37
2.09 Fees.
In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.03:
(a) Commitment Fee – Revolving Commitments. The Borrowers shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its
Applicable Percentage, an annual commitment fee in Dollars equal to the product of (i)
one-half percent (0.50%) times (ii) the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of (y) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and
(z) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations. Such commitment fee shall accrue at all times
during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the
conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing
with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date. Such
commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears. For purposes of clarification,
Swing Line Loans shall not be considered outstanding for purposes of determining the unused
portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.
(b) [Reserved]
(c) Fee Letter. The Borrowers shall pay to GSO Capital Partners and the
Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, fees in the amounts and at the times
specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be
refundable for any reason whatsoever. All Fees payable hereunder or pursuant to any Loan
Document or the Fee Letter shall be payable in Dollars.
2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees.
All computations of interest for Loans and all other computations of fees and interest shall
be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan
for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for
the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on
the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one
day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
2.11 Evidence of Debt.
(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or
records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of
business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the
Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so
shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any
amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in
respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrowers made through the
Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) a promissory note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans to the Borrowers
in addition to such accounts or records. Each such promissory note shall be in the form of
Exhibit 2.11(a) (a “Note”). Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and
endorse thereon the date, amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect
thereto.
38
(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the
Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records
evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing
Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
(a) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any
payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer
hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due.
In such event, if Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding
the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Defaulting Lender Rate. A notice of the
Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this
subsection (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b) Loan Account. To the extent any payment is not made, Borrowers hereby authorize
Administrative Agent, from time to time, without prior notice to Borrowers, to charge all interest
and fees (when due and payable), all expenses (as and when incurred), all charges, commissions,
fees, and costs provided for in Section 2.18(e) (as and when accrued or incurred), all fees and
costs provided for in Section 2.09 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other payments as and
when due and payable under any Loan Document (including the amounts due and payable with respect to
the Term Loan and including any amounts due and payable to the Bank Product Providers in respect of
Bank Products up to the amount of the Bank Product Reserve) to Borrowers’ Loan Account, which
amounts (other than amounts relating to the Term Loan) thereafter shall constitute Revolving Loans
hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans that are
Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Any amounts relating to Term Loans shall be added to the then outstanding
principal balance of the Term Loan and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Term
Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by
being charged to the Loan Account and shall thereafter constitute Revolving Loans hereunder and
shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the
Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to the Borrowers as provided in
the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the
Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set
forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such
Lender, without interest.
(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make
Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments
pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make
any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on
any date required hereunder shall
39
not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase
its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).
(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain
the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any
Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or
manner.
2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.
If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the
participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s
receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and
accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided
herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent
of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and
subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other
adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any
portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or
subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment
made by Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or
(y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line
Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as
to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the
amount of such participation.
2.14 Appointment of Borrower Representative.
(a) The Borrowers maintain an integrated cash management system reflecting their
interdependence on one another and the mutual benefits shared among them as a result of their
respective operations. In order to efficiently fund and operate their respective businesses and
minimize the number of borrowings which they will make under this Agreement and thereby reduce the
administrative costs and record keeping required in connection therewith, including the necessity
to enter into and maintain separately identified and monitored borrowing facilities, the Borrowers
have requested, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed that, subject to Section
11.18 hereof, all Loans will be advanced to and for the account of the Borrowers on a joint and
several basis pursuant to the wire transfer instructions specified herein Borrower Representative.
Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that it will be receiving a direct benefit from each Loan made
and each Letter of Credit and issued pursuant to this Agreement.
40
(b) Each Borrower hereby designates, appoints, authorizes and empowers TRM as the
“Borrower Representative” for all purposes under this Agreement, as its agent to act as
specified in this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents and the Borrower Representative
hereby acknowledges such designation, authorization and empowerment, and accepts such appointment.
Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Borrower Representative to take such
action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any
other instruments, documents and agreements referred to herein or therein, and to exercise such
powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or
required of the Borrower Representative by the respective terms and provisions hereof and thereof,
and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including, without limitation, to take
the following actions for and on such Borrower’s behalf:
(i) to submit on behalf of each Borrower Loan Notices (and Eurocurrency Rate Loan
Notices of Continuations) to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement;
(ii) to receive on behalf of each Borrower the proceeds of the Loans in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement, such proceeds to be disbursed to or for the account of the
applicable Borrower as soon as practicable after its receipt thereof;
(iii) to submit on behalf of and for the account of a Borrower requests for the
issuance of Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, each such
request for the issuance of a Lender Letter of Credit to be submitted by the Borrower
Representative as soon as practicable after its receipt of a request to do so from any
Borrower; and
(iv) to submit on behalf of each Borrower, Compliance Certificates, Excess Cash Flow
Certificates and all other certificates, notices and other communications given or required
to be given hereunder.
The Borrower Representative is further authorized and directed by each Borrower to take all
such actions on behalf of such Borrower necessary to exercise the specific power granted in clauses
(i) through (iv) above and to perform such other duties hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, and deliver such documents as delegated to or required of the Borrower Representative by
the terms hereof or thereof. The administration by the Administrative Agent and Lenders of the
credit facility under this Agreement as a co-borrowing facility with a borrower agent or
representative in the manner set forth herein is solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers and at
their request and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to any
Borrowers or the Borrower Representative as a result thereof.
(c) If and to the extent the Borrower Representative is a party to any merger, consolidation
or other transaction permitted under this Agreement such that the Borrower Representative is not
the surviving entity, the Borrowers shall appoint a replacement Borrower Representative from among
the remaining Borrowers, such replacement Borrower Representative to be reasonably acceptable to
Administrative Agent. Nothing in this subsection 2.14(c) shall constitute Administrative Agent’s
or any Lender’s consent to, or waiver of any Event of Default arising from, any merger,
consolidation or other transaction involving the Borrower Representative that violates any term or
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
2.15 Crediting Payments.
The receipt of any payment item by Administrative Agent shall not be considered a payment on
account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to
the
41
Administrative Agent’s Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for
payment. Should any such payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrowers
shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly.
Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any such payment item shall be deemed
received by Administrative Agent only if it is received into the Administrative Agent’s Account on
a Business Day on or before 2:00 p.m. If any payment item is received into the Administrative
Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 2:00 p.m. on a Business Day, it shall be deemed to
have been received by Administrative Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately
following Business Day. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition
or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. The Administrative Agent will
promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided
herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office.
Subject to the definition of “Interest Period”, if any payment to be made by a Borrower shall come
due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day,
and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
2.16 Designated Account.
Administrative Agent is authorized to make the Revolving Loans, and L/C Issuer is authorized
to issue the Letters of Credit, under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions
received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person or, without instructions, if pursuant to
Section 2.12(b). Borrower Representative agrees to establish and maintain the Designated Account
with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Revolving Loans
requested by Borrowers and made by Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise
agreed by Administrative Agent and Borrower Representative, any Revolving Loan, Protective
Revolving Loan, or Swing Line Loan requested by Borrowers and made by Administrative Agent or the
Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account.
2.17 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations.
Administrative Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrowers (the
“Loan Account”) on which Borrowers will be charged with the Term Loan and all Revolving
Loans (including Protective Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans) made by Administrative Agent,
Swing Line Lender, or the Lenders to Borrowers or for Borrowers’ account, the Letters of Credit
issued by L/C Issuer for Borrowers’ account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents (except for Bank Product Obligations), including, accrued interest,
fees and expenses. In accordance with Section 2.15, the Loan Account will be credited with all
payments received by Administrative Agent from Borrowers or for Borrowers’ account. Administrative
Agent shall render statements regarding the Loan Account to Borrower Representative, including
principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges and expenses owing, and such
statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and
constitute an account stated between Borrowers and the Lender Group unless, within 30 days after
receipt thereof by Borrower Representative, Borrower Representative shall deliver to Administrative
Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements.
2.18 Letters of Credit.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the L/C Issuer agrees to issue
letters of credit for the account of Borrowers (each, an “L/C”) or to purchase
participations or execute indemnities or reimbursement obligations (each such undertaking, an
“L/C Undertaking”) with respect to letters of credit issued by an Underlying Issuer (as of
the Closing Date, the prospective Underlying Issuer
42
is to be Xxxxx Fargo) for the account of Borrowers. Each request for the issuance of a Letter of
Credit or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be made
in writing by an Authorized Person and delivered to the L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent via
hand delivery, telefacsimile, or other electronic method of transmission reasonably in advance of
the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension. Each such request shall be in
form and substance satisfactory to the L/C Issuer in its discretion and shall specify (i) the
amount of such Letter of Credit, (ii) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of
such Letter of Credit, (iii) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the name and
address of the beneficiary thereof (or the beneficiary of the Underlying Letter of Credit, as
applicable), and (v) such other information (including, in the case of an amendment, renewal, or
extension, identification of the outstanding Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed, or
extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such Letter of Credit. If
requested by the L/C Issuer, Borrowers also shall be an applicant under the application with
respect to any Underlying Letter of Credit that is to be the subject of an L/C Undertaking. The
L/C Issuer shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if any of the following would
result after giving effect to the issuance of such requested Letter of Credit:
(i) the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments
less the Bank Product Reserve, less the Existing BP Reserve, and
less any other reserves established by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
2.01(c), or
(ii) the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.
Borrowers and the Lender Group acknowledge and agree that certain Underlying Letters of Credit may
be issued to support letters of credit that already are outstanding as of the Closing Date. Each
Letter of Credit (and corresponding Underlying Letter of Credit) shall be in form and substance
acceptable to the L/C Issuer (in the exercise of its discretion), including the requirement that
the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If L/C Issuer is obligated to advance
funds under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers immediately shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement to L/C
Issuer by paying to Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than
2:00 p.m. on the date that such L/C Disbursement is made, if Borrower Representative shall have
received written or telephonic notice of such L/C Disbursement prior to 1:00 p.m. on such date, or,
if such notice has not been received by Borrower Representative prior to such time on such date,
then not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day that Borrower Representative receives such
notice, if such notice is received prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of receipt, and, in the absence
of such reimbursement, the L/C Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be a
Revolving Loan hereunder and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to a
Revolving Loan that is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan. To the extent an L/C Disbursement is deemed to be
a Revolving Loan hereunder, Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement shall be
discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loan. Promptly following receipt by
Administrative Agent of any payment from Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, Administrative Agent
shall distribute such payment to the L/C Issuer or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments
pursuant to Section 2.03(b) to reimburse the L/C Issuer, then to such Lenders and the L/C Issuer as
their interests may appear.
(b) Promptly following receipt of a notice of L/C Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.03(a),
each Lender with a Revolving Commitment agrees to fund its Applicable Percentage of any Revolving
Loan deemed made pursuant to the foregoing subsection on the same terms and conditions as if
Borrowers had requested such Revolving Loan and Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to L/C
Issuer the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or
an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on
the part of the L/C Issuer or the Lenders with Revolving Commitments, the L/C Issuer shall be
deemed to have granted to each Lender with a Revolving Commitment, and each Lender with a Revolving
Commitment
43
shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to
its Applicable Percentage of the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit, and each
such Lender agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of the L/C Issuer, such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of any payments made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit. In
consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender with a Revolving Commitment hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of the L/C
Issuer, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by the L/C Issuer and not
reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.03(a), or of any reimbursement
payment required to be refunded to Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender with a Revolving
Commitment acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Administrative Agent, for the
account of the L/C Issuer, an amount equal to its respective Applicable Percentage of each L/C
Disbursement made by the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) shall be absolute and
unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of
an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Article V. If
any such Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by the L/C Issuer in respect of such Letter of
Credit as provided in this Section, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and
Administrative Agent (for the account of the L/C Issuer) shall be entitled to recover such amount
on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid
in full.
(c) Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender Group harmless
from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the Lender
Group arising out of or in connection with any Letter of Credit; provided, however,
that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or
liability to the extent that it is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C
Issuer or any other member of the Lender Group. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the Underlying
Issuer’s regulations and interpretations of any Underlying Letter of Credit or by L/C Issuer’s
interpretations of any L/C issued by L/C Issuer to or for such Borrower’s account, even though this
interpretation may be different from such Borrower’s own, and each Borrower understands and agrees
that the Lender Group shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of
omission or commission, in following Borrowers’ instructions or those contained in the Letter of
Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Each Borrower understands that
the L/C Undertakings may require L/C Issuer to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or
liabilities arising out of claims by Borrowers against such Underlying Issuer. Each Borrower
hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender Group harmless with respect to any
loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), or liability incurred by the Lender
Group under any L/C Undertaking as a result of the Lender Group’s indemnification of any Underlying
Issuer; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss,
cost, expense, or liability to the extent that it is caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the L/C Issuer or any other member of the Lender Group. Each Borrower hereby
acknowledges and agrees that neither the Lender Group nor the L/C Issuer shall be responsible for
delays, errors, or omissions resulting from the malfunction of equipment in connection with any
Letter of Credit.
(d) Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying Issuer to deliver to the L/C
Issuer all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Underlying
Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the L/C Issuer’s
instructions with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Underlying Letter of
Credit and the related application.
(e) Any and all issuance charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred by the L/C Issuer
relating to Underlying Letters of Credit shall be reimbursable immediately by Borrowers to
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer; it being acknowledged and agreed by each
44
Borrower that, as of the Closing Date, the issuance charge imposed by the prospective Underlying
Issuer is .825% per annum times the undrawn amount of each Underlying Letter of Credit, that such
issuance charge may be changed from time to time, and that the Underlying Issuer also imposes a
schedule of charges for amendments, extensions, drawings, and renewals.
(f) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving
Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, an annual Letter of Credit fee (the
“Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin times the
average daily un-drawn amount of such Letter of Credit. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i)
computed on a monthly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day of each
month, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default
exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.
(g) If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, rule,
or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental
Authority, or (ii) compliance by the Underlying Issuer or the Lender Group with any direction,
request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental
Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the FRB as from time to time in effect
(and any successor thereto):
(i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in
respect of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, or
(ii) there shall be imposed on the Underlying Issuer or the Lender Group any other condition
regarding any Underlying Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto;
and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to the Lender
Group of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount
receivable in respect thereof by the Lender Group, then, and in any such case, Administrative Agent
may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount
received is reduced, notify Borrower Representative, and Borrowers shall pay on demand such amounts
as Administrative Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate the Lender Group for such
additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such
demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. The
determination by Administrative Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section, as set forth in a
certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of
manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.
ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation
of the respective Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and
clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes,
provided that if the applicable Loan Party shall be required by applicable law to deduct
any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to
45
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall
make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of
subsection (a) above, each Loan Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. Each Loan Party shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the
full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties,
interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether
or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to a Loan Party by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or
other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is resident for
tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by
such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by a Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or
the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding
or information reporting requirements.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to a
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the
recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of such Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is
applicable:
(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility
for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that
such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code, (B) a “10
46
percent shareholder” of the applicable Borrower within the meaning of section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section
881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN, or
(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from
or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit such Borrower
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
Without limiting the obligations of the Lenders set forth above regarding delivery of certain
forms and documents to establish each Lender’s status for U.S. withholding tax purposes, each
Lender agrees promptly to deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, as the
Administrative Agent or the Borrowers shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date,
and in a timely fashion thereafter, such other documents and forms required by any relevant taxing
authorities under the Laws of any other jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Lender,
as are required under such Laws to confirm such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption
from, or reduction of, applicable withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such
Lender outside of the U.S. by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish
such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in such other jurisdiction. Each Lender shall
promptly (i) notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or
render invalid any such claimed exemption or reduction, and (ii) take such steps as shall not be
materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be
reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement
of applicable Laws of any such jurisdiction that any Borrower make any deduction or withholding for
taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. Additionally, each Borrower shall promptly deliver to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall reasonably
request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and
forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed
and completed by such Borrower, as are required to be furnished by such Lender or the
Administrative Agent under such Laws in connection with any payment by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender of Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, with
respect to such jurisdiction.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C
Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party
has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount
equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts
paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to
such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender
or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Loan
Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay
the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by
the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in
the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund
to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.
47
3.02 Illegality.
If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority
has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain
or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority
of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the applicable interbank
market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower Representative through the
Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans in
the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended
until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or,
if applicable, convert all such Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either
on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain
such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue
to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable
Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.
If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits are not being
offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable
amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period
with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost
to such Lenders of funding such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so
notify Borrower Representative and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make
or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended until
the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon
receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or,
failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans in the amount specified therein, in the case of Revolving Loans and the Term Loan.
3.04 Increased Costs.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or the L/C Issuer;
(ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or
any Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such
Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any
Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or
48
(iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by such
Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of
making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make
any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating
in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to
participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum
received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the
Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for
such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change
in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on
the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of
Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below
that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C
Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with
respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and
delivered to Borrower Representative shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers
shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer
to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided
that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more
than six months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies
Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and
of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
3.05 Compensation for Losses.
Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the
Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss,
cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
49
(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base
Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether
voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(b) any failure by Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to
make a Loan) to prepay, borrow or continue any Loan on the date or in the amount notified by
such Borrower; or
(c) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period therefor as a result of:
(i) a request by Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 11.13; or
(ii) an assignment by the GSO Fund pursuant to Section 11.06(b) as part
of the primary syndication of the Commitments and Loans during the 30-day period
immediately following the Closing Date, provided that the GSO Fund agrees to
use reasonable efforts to reduce the breakage costs payable by Borrowers in
connection therewith (including, without limitation, to the extent reasonably
practical, closing such assignments at the end of Interest Periods of outstanding
Eurocurrency Rate Loans);
including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or
reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan. The Borrowers shall also pay any
customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section
3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the
Eurocurrency Base Rate used in determining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching
deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable
amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so
funded.
3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 3.04, or a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if
any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable
efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to
assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if,
in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or
reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the
future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and
(ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any un-reimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable
costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the
Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.
50
3.07 Survival.
All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of
the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
ARTICLE IV
GUARANTY
4.01 The Guaranty.
(a) Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to the Administrative Agent
and each of the holders of the Obligations as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as
surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a
mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly
in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the
Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment,
by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly
and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case
of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly
paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as
a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or
renewal.
(b) Reserved.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan
Documents, Swap Contracts, the obligations of each Guarantor (in its capacity as such) under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest
amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws or
any comparable provisions of any applicable Law.
4.02 Obligations Unconditional.
(a) The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and several,
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or
enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, or any
substitution, compromise, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for
any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, irrespective of any
other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the
obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation,
indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against any Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts
paid under this Article IV until such time as the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in
full and the commitments relating thereto have expired or terminated.
(b) Reserved.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing subsection (a) , it is agreed
that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following
shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and
unconditional as described above:
51
(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any
performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such
performance or compliance shall be waived;
(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents,
or other documents relating to the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument referred
to therein shall be done or omitted;
(iii) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the
Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under
any of the Loan Documents or any other documents relating to the Obligations or any other
agreement or instrument referred to therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of
the Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole
or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(iv) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any holder of the
Obligations as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or
(v) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including for
the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any
Person (including any creditor of any Guarantor).
(d) With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of acceptance of the guaranty given
hereby and of extensions of credit that may constitute obligations guaranteed hereby, notices of
amendments, waivers, consents and supplements to the Loan Documents and other documents relating to
the Obligations, or the compromise, release or exchange of collateral or security, and all other
notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any holder of the
Obligations exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan
Documents or any other documents relating to the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument
referred to therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any
of the Obligations.
4.03 Reinstatement.
Neither the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall
be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification,
change, release or limitation of the liability of the Borrowers, by reason of any Borrower’s
bankruptcy or insolvency or by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of all or any portion
of the Obligations. In addition, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Article IV
shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on
behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by
any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise,
and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each holder of the
Obligations on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such holder of the Obligations in
connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in
defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent
transfer or similar payment under any Debtor Relief Law.
4.04 Certain Waivers.
Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the guaranty given hereby may be enforced
without the necessity of resorting to or otherwise exhausting remedies in respect of any other
security or
52
collateral interests, and without the necessity at any time of having to take recourse against
the Borrowers hereunder or against any collateral securing the Obligations or otherwise, and (b) it
will not assert any right to require that action first be taken against the Borrowers or any other
Person (including any co-guarantor) or pursuit of any other remedy or enforcement any other right,
and (c) nothing contained herein shall prevent or limit action being taken against the Borrowers
hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or the other documents and agreements relating to the
Obligations or, foreclosure on any security or collateral interests relating hereto or thereto, or
the exercise of any other rights or remedies available in respect thereof, if neither the Borrowers
nor the Guarantors shall timely perform their obligations, and the exercise of any such rights and
completion of any such foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of the Guarantors’
obligations hereunder unless as a result thereof, the Obligations shall have been paid in full and
the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or terminated, it being the purpose and intent
that the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder be absolute, irrevocable, independent and unconditional
under all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse
to security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation in accordance
with to Section 4.02 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to
Section 4.06.
4.05 Remedies.
The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, as between the Guarantors,
on the one hand, and holders of the Obligations, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared
to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.02 (and shall be deemed to have
become automatically due and payable in the circumstances specified in Section 9.02) for

ARTICLE X
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
10.01 Appointment and Authority.
Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints WFF to act on its behalf as
the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and neither the
Borrowers nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such
provisions (other than Section 10.06).
10.02 Rights as a Lender.
The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated
or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally
engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as
if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor
to the Lenders.
10.03 Exculpatory Provisions.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Administrative Agent:
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
84
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby
or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as
directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents),
provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action
that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and
(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents,
have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or
obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 9.02) or (ii)
in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is
given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire
into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance
of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other
distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated
by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally
or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the
making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such
Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with
the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
85
10.05 Delegation of Duties.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the
Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-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 Administrative Agent.
10.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the
L/C Issuer and Borrower Representative. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower Representative, to appoint a
successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such
bank with an office in the United States. If no such 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 and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify
Borrower Representative and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment,
then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to
be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and
the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative
Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this
Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same
as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such
successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect
for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related
Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring
Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
Any resignation by WFF (or any successor thereto) as Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be
discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the
Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement
satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C
Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
86
10.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.
Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties 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 other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.
10.08 No Other Duties; Etc.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners, arrangers,
syndication agents, documentation agents or co-agents shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity,
as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.
10.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any
Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C
Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the applicable
Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations (other than
obligations under Swap Contracts to which the Administrative Agent is not a party) that are
owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order
to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including
any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel
and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under
Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.09 and 11.04) allowed in such
judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such
payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent
to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization,
87
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender
or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such
proceeding.
10.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.
The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option
and in its discretion,
(a) to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative
Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments
and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations)
and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is transferred or to
be transferred as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under
any other Loan Document or any Involuntary Disposition, or (iii) as approved in accordance
with Section 11.01;
(b) to subordinate any Lien on any Property granted to or held by the Administrative
Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such Property that is permitted
by Section 8.01(i); and
(c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person
ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in
writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in
particular types or items of Property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations
under the Guaranty, pursuant to this Section 10.10.
10.11 Bank Product Providers.
Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a party hereto solely for purposes of this Article
X and with respect to any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom Administrative Agent
is acting; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of such Bank Product
Provider under the Loan Documents consist solely and exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s
right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral to the extent and as expressly and
more fully set forth herein. In connection with any such distribution of payments and collections,
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due to any Bank Product Provider
unless such Bank Product Provider has notified Administrative Agent in writing of the amount of any
such liability owed to it prior to such distribution.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS

(ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, telecopier number, electronic mail address

90
Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail,
shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to
have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the
recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day
for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in
subsection (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b).
(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and
the L/C Issuer hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including
e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative
Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the L/C
Issuer pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified
the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic
communication. The Administrative Agent or Borrower Representative may, in its discretion, agree
to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to
procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to
particular notices or communications.
Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications
sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement
from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available,
return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other
communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or
communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day
for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website
shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as
described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is
available and identifying the website address therefor.
(c) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the L/C

by notice to Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line
Lender.
(d) Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders. Administrative Agent,
the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying,
upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram,
telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or
other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel
(including counsel to any Loan Party or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other
experts selected by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing
or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless
Administrative Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems
appropriate. If Administrative Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action based on such advice or concurrence of the
Lenders, other than as a result of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative
Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the requisite
Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
upon all of the Lenders. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C
Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and
liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on
91
each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of a Loan Party. All telephonic notices to and
other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative
Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
(e) Notice of Default or Event of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed
to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with
respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid
to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of
Default of which Administrative Agent has actual knowledge, unless Administrative Agent shall have
received written notice from a Lender or a Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such
Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Administrative
Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default
of which Administrative Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any
Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Administrative Agent of
such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its
Participants, if any. Subject to 11.02(d), Administrative Agent shall take such action with
respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in
accordance with Section 9; provided, however, that if an event occurs or a
circumstance exists that materially and imminently threatens the ability of Administrative Agent
and the Lenders to realize upon any material part of the Collateral, such as, without limitation,
fraudulent removal, concealment or abscondment thereof, destruction (other than to the extent
covered by insurance) or material waste thereof, or failure of Borrowers after reasonable demand to
maintain or reinstate adequate casualty insurance coverage with respect thereto, Administrative
Agent may take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in its commercially reasonable discretion.
11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay
by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as
a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
11.04 Expenses; Indemnity; and Damage Waiver.
(a) Costs and Expenses. The Loan Parties shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution,
delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any
Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer (including the fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C
Issuer) in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in
connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of
such Loans or Letters of Credit. For avoidance of doubt, the Loan Parties’ obligation to pay the
amounts described in the
92
preceding clause (iii) to any Lender (as opposed to the Administrative Agent or the L/C
Issuer) shall be subject to the existence of an Event of Default at the time such amounts were
incurred by such Lender.
(b) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and each Related
Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any
third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement
or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their
respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds
therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous
Materials on or from any property owned or operated by a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or
any Environmental Liability related in any way to a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv)
any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or
by a Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by a
Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s
obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower or such other Loan Party
has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Loan Parties for any reason fail
to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by
them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of
any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment
is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified
loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such,
or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any
such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders
under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).
(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against
any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive
damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result
of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any
damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials
distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other
93
information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten
Business Days after demand therefor.
(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the
Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the
Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
11.05 Payments Set Aside.
To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender
exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof
is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or
such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of
such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived
and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not
occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or
repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date
such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Defaulting Lender Rate from time
to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the
Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in
full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
11.06 Successors and Assigns.
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that a Borrower may not assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in
accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or
assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section
(and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person
(other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of
this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing
to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of
an assignment to a Lender or
94
an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the
Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is
not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to
such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the
Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of
an assignment of Revolving Loans and $1,000,000 in the case of an assignment of Term Loans unless
each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower Representative otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed and no consent of Borrower Representative shall be required in connection with
assignments made by the GSO Fund within 30 days of the Closing Date in connection with the primary
syndication of the Loans and Commitments); (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s Loans and Commitments, and rights
and obligations with respect thereto, assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to
rights in respect of Swing Line Loans or the Term Loan; (iii) any assignment of a Revolving
Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender
unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed
assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and (iv) the parties to each assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a
Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an loan administrative questionnaire in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. Subject to acceptance and recording
thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall
be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, each
Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment
or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Assignment hereunder shall cause the number
of Lenders hereunder, together with the “Lenders” under the Second Lien Loan Documents and under
the UK Loan Documents to exceed 15 in the aggregate, any such assignment shall require the
Administrative Agent’s prior written consent.
(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to,
each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries
in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrowers and the L/C Issuer at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that
a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any
Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from
the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.
95
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person or a Borrower or any of TRM’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in
all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or
a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C
Obligations and/or Swing Line 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
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and the L/C Issuer 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, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) through
(viii) of Section 11.01(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of
this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08
as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section
2.13 as though it were a Lender.
(e) Limitation on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive
any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would
have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrowers’ prior written consent. A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the
benefits of Section 3.01 unless Borrower Representative is notified of the participation
sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply
with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.
(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to
secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as
a party hereto.
(g) 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
(h) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time WFF assigns all of its Commitment and
Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, WFF may, (i) upon thirty days’ notice to Borrower
Representative and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon thirty days’ notice to
Borrower Representative, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C
Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a
successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no
failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of WFF as L/C
Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If WFF
96
resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer
hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its
resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto. If WFF resigns as Swing
Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with
respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such
resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).
11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a)
to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers,
employees, agents, advisors and representatives, Bank Product Providers and to any direct or
indirect contractual counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor) under
any Swap Contract relating to Loans outstanding under this Agreement (it being understood
that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of
such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested
by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory
authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required
by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other
party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or
(ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction
relating to a Loan Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrowers or (h) to the
extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of
their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers and
who is not in breach of any duties of confidentiality.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Loan
Party or any Subsidiary relating to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or any of their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any
Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any
Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. For purposes of this Agreement, any information delivered or obtained by Lenders
pursuant to Sections 7.01(b), 7.02 or 7.10 which is not otherwise publicly available shall be
deemed confidential without the identification required by the previous sentence. Any Person
required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same
degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to
its own confidential information.
11.08 Set-off.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and
each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other
obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such
Affiliate to or for the credit or the
97
account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such
Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C
Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a
branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such
deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their
respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have.
Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify Borrower Representative and the Administrative
Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
11.09 Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or
agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious
interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or
any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest
shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to
the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the
Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted
by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or
premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c)
amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest
throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the
entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all
previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have
received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other
parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties.
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other
document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive
the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or
will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation
made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of
any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other
Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain
outstanding.
98
11.12 Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid
or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
11.13 Replacement of Lenders.
(a) By Borrower. If (A) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04,
(B) a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority
for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or (C) any Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and
the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section
11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan
Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender,
if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(i) The Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee
specified in Section 11.06(b);
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and its Applicable Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by the
L/C Issuer, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section
3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
Upon the consummation of such sale and assignment, the applicable amendment, modification,
forbearance and/or waiver giving rise to the option to acquire such Non-Consenting Lender’s
interests hereunder shall become effective upon giving effect to such assignment (and any related
assignments required to be effected in connection therewith in accordance with this Section 11.13).
(b) By Lenders. If any Lender refuses to consent (such Lender a “Non-Consenting
Lender”) to an amendment, modification, forbearance and/or waiver of or under this Agreement,
and such Non-Consenting Lender’s consent is otherwise necessary to achieve Required Lender consent
hereunder and but for such failure to consent, such amendment, modification, forbearance or waiver
would have been effected pursuant to the terms hereof, then any one or more of the other Lenders
may, but shall not be required to purchase and assume (if more than one, then on a pro rata basis),
or to designate some other Person to purchase, assume and acquire the interests and obligations of
the Non-Consenting Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents and such Non-Consenting Lender
shall promptly assign, sell and transfer to such other Lenders, or to any such other Person as
designated by such Lenders (such
99
Lender(s) or other purchaser, an “Assignee”) all of its rights, interest and
Obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents.
Upon the date of such purchase and sale, the Assignee shall pay to the Non-Consenting Lender
as the purchase price for its pro rata share of the Obligations, the full amount of all Loans and
other Obligations then outstanding and unpaid (including principal, interest, fees and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) held by or owing to such Non-Consenting
Lender. If the Non-Consenting Lender is a Revolving Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder, then in
addition to the foregoing payment, the Assignee shall (a) furnish cash collateral to the
Non-Consenting Lender in an amount equal to (i) 105% of the un-drawn face amount of any issued and
outstanding Letters of Credit provided by such Non-Consenting Lender in its capacity as L/C Issuer,
and (ii) 100% of the amount of Bank Product Obligations then owing to the such Non-Consenting
Lender, and (b) agree to reimburse such Non-Consenting Lender for any loss, cost, damage or expense
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) in connection with any commissions, fees,
costs or expenses related to any issued and outstanding letters of credit or Bank Products as
described above and any checks or other payments provisionally credited to the Revolving Loans or
other Obligations held by such Non-Consenting Lender, and/or as to which such Non-Consenting Lender
has not yet received final payment, and to otherwise agree to reimburse the Non-Consenting Lender
for all expenses to the extent earned or due and payable in accordance with the Loan Documents, and
(c) furnish cash collateral or agree to indemnify such Non Consenting Lender in respect of
indemnification obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Documents (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and legal expenses) which are identified by the Non-Consenting Lender as being then due and
owing or which have been asserted and are liquidated or are otherwise ascertainable in amount, but
only to the extent not previously indemnified and reimbursed by the Borrowers and without
releasing, or affecting the indemnification obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Documents or
the survival of such provisions in favor of the Non-Consenting Lender, provided that, in no
event will any Lenders or the Assignee have any liability for amounts described herein in excess of
proceeds of Collateral received by the Lenders. The foregoing purchase price payments shall be
remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account as the Non-Consenting Lender may
designate in writing to the Assignee for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to but
excluding the business day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by
Assignee to the bank account designated by the Non-Consenting Lender are received in such bank
account prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time and interest shall be calculated to and including
such business day if the amounts so paid by the Assignee to the bank account designated by the
Non-Consenting Lender are received in such bank account later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time.
If the Non Consenting Lender also serves as Administrative Agent hereunder, then notwithstanding
any transfer and sale pursuant to this Section 11.13, such Non-Consenting Lender shall continue to
serve as Administrative Agent unless and until the Required Lenders shall otherwise determine in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Such purchase and sale shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind
by the Non-Consenting Lender as to the Loans so purchased or otherwise and without recourse to the
Non-Consenting Lender, except that the Non-Consenting Lender shall represent and warrant to the
Assignee and to each other Lender: (i) the amount of the Loans and other Obligations being
purchased from it, (ii) that such Non-Consenting Lender owns its portion of the Loans and other
Obligations so purchased free and clear of any Liens or encumbrances and (iii) such Non-Consenting
Lender has the right to assign such Loans and other Obligations and the assignment is duly
authorized by such Non-Consenting Lender.
Upon any such assignment and payment and compliance with the other provisions hereunder, such
Non-Consenting Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided,
any rights of such Non-Consenting Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive.
100
(c) A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the
Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

11.16 USA PATRIOT Act Notice.
Each
Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers
that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into
law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information
that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and
other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to
identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act.
11.17 Judgment Currency.
If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum
due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of
exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the
Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day
preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of
any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”)
other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of
this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the
Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the
Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures
purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement
Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from any Loan
Party in the Agreement Currency, such Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such
obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is
greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the
Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Loan Party (or to any other
Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
11.18 Matters Relating to Borrowers’ Joint and Several Liability.
(a) Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers. Each of the Borrowers shall be
jointly and severally liable hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents with respect to
all Obligations, regardless of which of the Borrowers actually receives the proceeds of the Loan or
the benefit of any other extensions of credit hereunder, or the manner in which the Borrower
Representative, the Borrowers, the Lenders account therefor in their respective books and records.
In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, (i) each Borrower’s obligations and
liabilities with respect to proceeds of Loans which it receives and (ii) each Borrower’s
obligations and liabilities arising as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrowers
hereunder with respect to proceeds of the Loans received by or for the account of, any of the other
Borrowers, together with the related fees, costs and expenses, shall be separate and distinct
obligations, both of which are primary obligations of such Borrower. Without limiting the
102
generality of the foregoing in any manner, all representations and warranties of Borrowers’
contained herein are made jointly and severally. For purposes of the agreements, representations,
warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement and in the other Financing Documents, the
knowledge of one Borrower shall be imputed to all Borrowers (including, without limitation, the
Borrower Representative, and any consent by one Borrower (including, without limitation, the
Borrower Representative) shall constitute the consent of and shall bind all Borrowers. Neither the
joint and several liability of, nor the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent under the
Collateral Documents by, any of the Borrowers shall be impaired or released by
(i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any successors or assigns
thereof, or any holder of any Note or any of the Obligations to assert any claim or demand
or to exercise or enforce any right, power or remedy against the Borrower Representative,
any Borrower, any Subsidiary of any Borrower, any other Person, the Collateral or
otherwise;
(ii) any extension or renewal for any period (whether or not longer than the original
period) or exchange of any of the Obligations or the release or compromise of any
obligation of any nature of any Person with respect thereto;
(iii) the surrender, release or exchange of all or any part of any property (including
without limitation the Collateral) securing payment, performance and/or observance of any
of the Obligations or the compromise or extension or renewal for any period (whether or not
longer than the original period) of any obligations of any nature of any Person with
respect to any such property, or the existence, value or condition of, or failure to
perfect its Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of
any action, by the Administrative Agent and Lenders in respect thereof (including the
release of any such security);
(iv) any action or inaction on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or
any other event or condition with respect to any other Borrower, including any such action
or inaction or other event or condition, which might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, such Borrower, or a guarantor or surety of or for any or
all of the Obligations;
(v) any other act, matter or thing (other than payment or performance of the
Obligations) which would or might, in the absence of this provision, operate to release,
discharge or otherwise prejudicially affect the obligations of such or any other Borrower.
(vi) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of,
or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or
instrument to which any Borrower is or may become a party; or
(vii) the insolvency of any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower.
(b) Rights of Contribution. The Borrowers hereby agree as among themselves that, if
any Borrower shall make an Excess Payment (as defined below), such Borrower shall have a right of
contribution from each other Borrower in an amount equal to such other Borrower’s Contribution
Share (as defined below) of such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any Borrower under
this Section 11.18 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until
such time as the Obligations have been paid in full in cash and all Commitments have terminated,
and none of the Borrowers shall exercise any right or remedy under this Section 11.18 against any
other Borrower until such time as all Obligations have been paid in full in cash and all
Commitments have been terminated. For purposes of this Section 11.18, (a) “Excess Payment”
shall mean the amount paid by any Borrower in excess of its Pro Rata Share of any Obligations; (b)
“Pro Rata Share” shall mean, for purposes of this
103
Section 11.18 and for any Borrower in respect of any payment of the Obligations, the ratio
(expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such payment of Obligations of (i) the amount by
which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the
amount of all debts and liabilities of such Borrower (including contingent, subordinated,
un-matured, and un-liquidated liabilities, but excluding the Obligations of such Borrower
hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of its assets and
other properties of all Borrowers exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including
contingent, subordinated, un-matured, and un-liquidated liabilities, but excluding the Obligations
of all Borrowers hereunder) of the Borrowers; and (c) “Contribution Share” shall mean, for
any Borrower in respect of any Excess Payment made by any other Borrower, the ratio (expressed as a
percentage) as of the date of such Excess Payment of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present
fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and
liabilities of such Borrower (including contingent, subordinated, un-matured, and un-liquidated
liabilities, but excluding the Obligations of such Borrower hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which
the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of the Borrowers other
than the maker of such Excess Payment exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities
(including contingent, subordinated, un-matured, and un-liquidated liabilities, but excluding the
Obligations of the Borrowers) of the Borrowers other than the maker of such Excess Payment.
Nothing in this Section 11.18 shall require any Borrower to pay its Contribution Share of any
Excess Payment in the absence of a demand therefor by the Borrower that has made the Excess
Payment. Without limiting the foregoing in any manner, it is the intent of the parties hereto
that as of any date of determination, no Contribution Amount of any Borrower shall be equal to the
maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section
11.18 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.
(c) Waivers by Borrowers. Each Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now
or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to
compel the Administrative Agent to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations
guaranteed hereunder against any other Borrower or guarantor of the Obligations, any other party or
against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against,
or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower and the
Lenders that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section and such
waivers and the Lenders would decline to enter into this Agreement.
(d) Subordination of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set forth in subsection (E) below, each
Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably subordinates to payment of the Obligations any and all
rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution,
indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or
accommodation co-obligor until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Lenders and
shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of
this Section 11.18, and that each Lender and the Administrative Agent (on their behalf) and their
respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and
agreements set forth herein.
(e) Miscellaneous. This Section is intended only to define the relative rights of the
Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section is intended to or shall impair the obligations of
the Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Nothing
contained in this Section shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans made directly
or indirectly to that
104
Borrower and accrued interest, Fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall
be primarily liable. The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and
indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Borrowers to which such contribution and
indemnification is owing. The rights of any indemnified Borrower against the other Borrowers under
this Section shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations.
11.19 Oral Agreements.
