as a decimal) equal to 100% minus Statutory Reserves. For purposes hereof, the
term "LIBOR Rate" shall mean the rate (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the
next 1/16 of 1%) at which dollar deposits approximately equal in principal
amount to such Eurodollar Borrowing and for a maturity comparable to such
Interest Period are offered to the principal London office of the Administrative
Agent in immediately available funds in the London interbank market at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to the
commencement of such Interest Period.
"Administrative Agent" shall mean JPMCB in its capacity as
administrative agent under the Loan Documents and its successors in such

Agreement dated as of August 26, 2002, as the same may from time to time be
further amended, modified or supplemented.
"Alternate Base Rate" shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum

Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (b) or (c), or
both, of the first sentence of this definition, as appropriate, until the
circumstances giving the rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in

actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days).
Section 2.03. Making of Tranche B Loans.
(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth
(including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 2.28 and Article 4),
each Tranche B DIP Lender, severally and not jointly with the other Tranche B
DIP Lenders, agrees to make loans (each a "Tranche B Loan" and collectively, the
"Tranche B Loans") to each Borrower at any time and from time to time during the
period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Termination Date;
provided that, after giving effect to any such Tranche B Loan, (i) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of Tranche B Loans of such Tranche B DIP Lender
plus such Tranche B DIP Lender's participation in Tranche B Letters of Credit
(and unreimbursed draws thereunder) does not exceed such Tranche B DIP Lender's
Tranche B Credit-Linked Deposit Amount, (ii) the Outstanding Exposure with
respect to such Borrower does not exceed such Borrower's Borrowing Limit and
(iii) the Tranche B Outstanding Exposure with respect to all Borrowers does not
exceed the Total Tranche B Credit-Linked Deposit Amount. Tranche B Loans made
pursuant to this subsection (a) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement.
33
(b) Each Tranche B Borrowing shall be funded by the Tranche B DIP
Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Class Percentages, solely
from amounts on deposit in their respective Tranche B Credit-Linked Accounts.
Section 2.04. Letters of Credit.
(a) Tranche A Letters of Credit. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions herein set forth, each Borrower may request a Fronting Bank, at any
time and from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the Termination
Date, to issue, and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, and so
long as no Stop Issuance Notice is in effect, such Fronting Bank shall issue,
for the account of such Borrower, one or more Tranche A Letters of Credit for
the uses specified in Section 5.08(a); provided that after giving effect to such
issuance (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Tranche A Loans of
such Tranche A DIP Lender plus such Tranche A DIP Lender's participation in
Tranche A Letters of Credit (and unreimbursed draws thereunder) does not exceed
such Tranche A DIP Lender's Tranche A Commitment, (ii) the Outstanding Exposure
with respect to such Borrower does not exceed such Borrower's Borrowing Limit,
(iii) the Tranche A Outstanding Exposure with respect to all Borrowers does not
exceed the Total Tranche A Commitment, (iv) the Letter of Credit Outstandings
with respect to such Borrower do not exceed such Borrower's Letter of Credit
Sublimit and (v) the Surety Credit Usage will not exceed the Surety Basket
Amount.
(b) Tranche B Letters of Credit. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions herein set forth, each Borrower may request a Fronting Bank, at any
time and from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the Termination
Date, to issue, and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, and so
long as no Stop Issuance Notice is in effect, such Fronting Bank shall issue,
for the account of such Borrower, one or more Tranche B Letters of Credit for
the uses specified in Section 5.08(a); provided that after giving effect to such
issuance (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Tranche B Loans of
such Tranche B DIP Lender plus such Tranche B DIP Lender's participation in
Tranche B Letters of Credit (and unreimbursed draws thereunder) does not exceed
such Tranche B DIP Lender's Tranche B Credit-Linked Deposit Amount, (ii) the
Outstanding Exposure with respect to such Borrower does not exceed such
Borrower's Borrowing Limit, (iii) the Tranche B Outstanding Exposure with
respect to all Borrowers does not exceed the Total Tranche B Credit-Linked
Deposit Amount, (iv) the Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to such
Borrower and (v) the Surety Credit Usage will not exceed the Surety Basket
Amount.
(c) If either (i) DIP Lenders holding in excess of 50% of the Total
Tranche A Commitment or (ii) DIP Lenders representing in excess of 50% of the
Total Tranche B Credit-Linked Amount determine at any time that the conditions
set forth in Section 4.03 would not be satisfied in respect of a Credit Event at
such time, then such DIP Lenders may request that the Administrative Agent issue
a "Stop Issuance Notice", and the
34
Administrative Agent shall issue such notice to each Fronting Bank. Such Stop
Issuance Notice shall be withdrawn by the relevant DIP Lenders upon a
determination by them that the circumstances giving rise thereto no longer
exist. While a Stop Issuance Notice is in effect, no Letter of Credit of the
same Class as the Class of DIP Lenders that have caused the issuance of such
Stop Issuance Notice may be issued. The relevant DIP Lenders may request
issuance of a Stop Issuance Notice only if there is a reasonable basis therefor,
and shall consider reasonably and in good faith a request from a Borrower for
withdrawal of the same on the basis that the conditions in Section 4.03 are
satisfied; provided that the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Banks may and
shall conclusively rely on any Stop Issuance Notice while it remains in effect.
(d) No Letter of Credit shall expire later than 10 days prior to the
Maturity Date. To the extent that Surety Letters of Credit are issued, each
Borrower shall obtain a separate Surety Letter of Credit in, or be liable with
respect to, an amount that is commensurate with the benefit to be received by
such Borrower as a result of the transactions supported by the surety or
performance bonds or similar obligations to be supported by such Letters of
Credit.
(e) Each Borrower shall pay to each Fronting Bank, in addition to such
other fees and charges as are specifically provided for in Section 2.22 hereof,
such fees and charges in connection with the issuance and processing of the
Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank for the account of such Borrower
as are customarily imposed by such Fronting Bank from time to time in connection
with letter of credit transactions.
(f) Drafts drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed by the
Borrower in Dollars not later than the first Business Day following the date of
draw and shall bear interest from the date of draw until the first Business Day
following the date of draw at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin and thereafter until reimbursed in full at a rate per
annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus 2%
(computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360
days). The Borrower shall effect such reimbursement (x) if such draw occurs
prior to the Termination Date applicable to such Letter of Credit, in cash or
through a Borrowing of the same Class as the Letter of Credit to which such
reimbursement obligation relates or (y) if such draw occurs on or after the
Termination Date, in cash.
(g) Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit of either
Class by any Fronting Bank, such Fronting Bank shall be deemed to have sold to
each DIP Lender of such Class other than such Fronting Bank and each such other
DIP Lender shall be deemed unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased
from such Fronting Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation, to the extent of such DIP Lender's Class Percentage, in such
Letter of Credit, each drawing thereunder and the Obligations of the Borrower
and the Guarantors under this Agreement with respect thereto. Upon any change in
the Tranche A Commitments or the Tranche B
35
Credit-Linked Deposit Amounts pursuant to Section 10.03(b), it is hereby agreed
that with respect to all Letter of Credit Outstandings of the relevant Class,
there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations hereby created to
reflect the new Class Percentages of the assigning and assignee DIP Lenders. Any
action taken or omitted by a Fronting Bank under or in connection with a Letter
of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct, shall not create for such Fronting Bank any resulting liability to
any other DIP Lender.
(h) In the event that a Fronting Bank makes any payment under any
Letter of Credit of either Class and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such
amount in full to such Fronting Bank pursuant to this Section, the Fronting Bank
shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each
DIP Lender of such Class of such failure, and each such DIP Lender shall
promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Fronting Bank the amount of such DIP Lender's Class Percentage of such
unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in same day funds. If such Fronting Bank so
notifies the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent so notifies the
DIP Lenders of such Class prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any
Business Day, then (i) if the relevant Letter of Credit is a Tranche A Letter of
Credit, each of the Tranche A DIP Lenders shall make available to such Fronting
Bank such Tranche A DIP Lender's Class Percentage of the amount of such payment
on such Business Day in same day funds and (ii) if the relevant Letter of Credit
is a Tranche B Letter of Credit, each of the Tranche B DIP Lenders hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to make available to such
Fronting Bank such Tranche B DIP Lender's Class Percentage of the amount of such
payment on such Business Day in same day funds from amounts on deposit in such
Tranche B DIP Lender's Tranche B Credit-Linked Account. If and to the extent any
Tranche A DIP Lender shall not have so made its Class Percentage of the amount
of such payment available to such Fronting Bank, such Tranche A DIP Lender
agrees to pay to such Fronting Bank, forthwith on demand such amount, together
with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is
paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Fronting Bank at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate. The failure of any Tranche A DIP Lender to make
available to the Fronting Bank its Class Percentage of any payment under any
Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Tranche A DIP Lender of its
obligation hereunder to make available to the Fronting Bank its Class Percentage
of any payment under any Letter of Credit of the relevant Class on the date
required, as specified above, but no DIP Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any Tranche A DIP Lender to make available to such Fronting Bank such
other DIP Lender's Class Percentage of any such payment. Whenever a Fronting
Bank receives a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which it has
received any payments from DIP Lenders pursuant to this paragraph, such Fronting
Bank shall pay (i) if such payment is with respect to a Tranche A Letter of
Credit, to each Tranche A DIP Lender which has paid its Class Percentage
thereof, in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such DIP Lender's
Class Percentage thereof and (ii) if such payment is with respect to a Tranche B
Letter of Credit, to each Tranche B DIP Lender, by depositing into its
36
Tranche B Credit-Linked Account, in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount
equal to such DIP Lender's Class Percentage thereof.
(i) The obligations of each DIP Lender of each Class to participate in
Letters of Credit of such Class and to pay or reimburse the Fronting Bank for
such DIP Lender's Class Percentage of amounts drawn thereunder is absolute,
irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances
whatsoever (including, without limitation, the occurrence or continuation of any
Event of Default) and each such payment or reimbursement shall be made without
offset, abatement, withholding or other reduction whatsoever; provided that any
such obligations of any Tranche B DIP Lender shall be satisfied solely from
amounts on deposit in its Tranche B Credit-Linked Accounts.
Section 2.05. Issuance. Whenever a Borrower desires a Fronting Bank to
issue a Letter of Credit, it shall give to such Fronting Bank and the
Administrative Agent at least two Business Days' prior written (including
telegraphic, telex, facsimile or cable communication) notice (or such shorter
period as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent, such Borrower and such
Fronting Bank) specifying the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit is to
be issued (which shall be a Business Day), the stated amount of the Letter of
Credit so requested, the conditions for the drawing thereof, the expiration date
of such Letter of Credit and the name and address of the beneficiary thereof.
Section 2.06. Nature of Letter of Credit Obligations Absolute. The
obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the DIP Lenders for drawings made under
any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances,
including, without limitation: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other
right that such Borrower or any Guarantor may have at any time against a
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or against any of the DIP Lenders, whether
in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any
unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document
presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid
or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by a Fronting Bank of any Letter of
Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document
which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any other
circumstance or happening whatsoever, that is similar to any of the foregoing;
or (vi) the fact that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.
Section 2.07. Making of Loans.
(a) Except as contemplated by Section 2.12, Loans shall be either ABR
Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the relevant Borrower may request subject to and in
accordance
37
with this Section, provided that all Loans made to a single Borrower pursuant to
the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, be
Loans of the same Type. Each DIP Lender may fulfill its funding obligation with
respect to any Eurodollar Loan or ABR Loan by causing any lending office of such
DIP Lender to make such Loan; provided that any such use of a lending office
shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the other provisions of this
Section and the provisions of Section 2.13, Borrowings of Loans of more than one
Type may be incurred at the same time, provided that no more than ten (10)
Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans may be outstanding at any time.
(b) The relevant Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent (x) at
least three (3) Business Days' prior notice for each Borrowing of Eurodollar
Loans and (y) same day notice for each Borrowing of ABR Loans; such notice shall
be irrevocable and shall specify (x) the amount of such Borrowing (which shall
not be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof in the case of Eurodollar Loans and not less than $1,000,000 or an
integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof in the case of ABR Loans) and
the Class of such Borrowing, (y) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a
Business Day) and (z) the disbursement instructions for such Borrowing. Such
notice, to be effective, must be received by the Administrative Agent not later
than (1) 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the
date on which such Borrowing is to be made, in the case of Eurodollar Loans and
(2) 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the day such Borrowing is to be made, in
the case of ABR Loans, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section
2.07(b). Such notice shall specify whether the Borrowing then being requested is
to be a Borrowing of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans. If no election is made as to
the Type of Loan, such notice shall be deemed a request for Borrowing of ABR
Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each DIP Lender of the
relevant Class of its proportionate share of such Borrowing, the date of such
Borrowing, the Type of Borrowing or Loans being requested and the Interest
Period or Interest Periods applicable thereto, as appropriate. On the borrowing
date specified in such notice, (aa) if such Borrowing is a Tranche A Borrowing,
each Tranche A DIP Lender shall make an amount equal to its Class Percentage of
the Borrowing available at the office of the Administrative Agent at 000 Xxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, in
immediately available funds, and (bb) if such Borrowing is a Tranche B
Borrowing, each Tranche B DIP Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent to make available to the Borrower an amount on deposit in
such Tranche B DIP Lender's Tranche B Credit-Linked Deposit Account equal to
such Tranche B DIP Lender's Class Percentage of such Tranche B Borrowing (it
being understood that the funding obligation of each Tranche B DIP Lender with
respect to such Borrowing shall be required to be satisfied solely by making
such amount available, and the Borrower shall have no other recourse against
such Tranche B DIP Lender with respect to the satisfaction of such funding
obligation). The Administrative Agent shall, in the case of a Tranche A
Borrowing, upon receipt of the funds made available by the Tranche A DIP
38
Lenders to fund such Borrowing, disburse such funds in the manner specified in
the notice of borrowing delivered by the Borrower, and in the case of a Tranche
B Borrowing, disburse the relevant portions of the amounts on deposit in the
Tranche B Credit-Linked Deposit Accounts in the manner specified in the notice
of borrowing delivered by the Borrower.
Section 2.08. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each DIP Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of each Loan made to such Borrower on the Termination Date.
(b) Each DIP Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to
such DIP Lender resulting from each Loan made by such DIP Lender to such
Borrower, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid by
such Borrower to such DIP Lender from time to time hereunder.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall
record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Borrower, Type and Class
thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
relevant Borrower to each DIP Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum
received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the DIP
Lenders in respect of the Loans and each DIP Lender's share thereof.
(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph
(b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any
DIP Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error
therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay
the Loans made to such Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Any DIP Lender may request that Loans made by it to any Borrower be
evidenced by a promissory note of such Borrower. In such event, the relevant
Borrower shall execute and deliver to such DIP Lender a promissory note payable
to the order of such DIP Lender (or, if requested by such DIP Lender, to such
DIP Lender and its registered assigns) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
Thereafter, the Loans made to such Borrower and evidenced by such promissory
note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment
pursuant to Section 10.03) be represented by one or more promissory notes in
such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such
promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
39
Section 2.09. Interest on Loans.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, each ABR Loan shall bear
interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year
of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, each Eurodollar Loan
shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed
over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal, during each Interest Period
applicable thereto, to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period in
effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.
(c) Accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, at maturity (whether by acceleration
or otherwise), after such maturity on demand and (with respect to Eurodollar
Loans) upon any repayment or prepayment thereof (on the amount repaid or
prepaid).
Section 2.10. Default Interest. If any Borrower or any Guarantor with
respect to such Borrower, as the case may be, shall default in the payment of
the principal of or interest on any Loan made to such Borrower or in the payment
of any other amount becoming due hereunder (including, without limitation, the
reimbursement pursuant to Section 2.04(f) of any draft drawn under a Letter of
Credit issued for the account of such Borrower), whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise, such Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be,
shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law,
on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment
(after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of
the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to (x) in the
case of Borrowings consisting of Eurodollar Loans, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate in
effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin plus 2%, (y) in the case of
Borrowings consisting of ABR Loans, the Alternate Base Rate in effect for such
Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin plus 2% and (z) in the case of all other
amounts, the Alternate Base Rate plus 2%.
Section 2.11. Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitment or
Borrowing Limits. (a) Upon at least two Business Days' prior written notice to
the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may at any time in whole permanently
terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Unused Total
Commitment. Any such reduction shall be allocated to reduce the Total Tranche A
Commitment and the Total Tranche B Credit-Linked Deposit Amount pro rata (on the
basis of aggregate amount).
(b) Each such reduction of the Tranche A Commitments and the Tranche B
Credit-Linked Deposit Amounts pursuant to subsection (a) shall be in the
principal amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof and shall be applied pro rata (on the basis of Class Percentage) to
reduce the Tranche A
40
Commitments and the Tranche B Credit-Linked Deposit Amounts of all the DIP
Lenders of the relevant Class. Simultaneously with each such reduction or
termination of the Tranche A Commitments, the Borrowers shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Tranche A DIP Lender the Commitment
Fee accrued on the amount of the Tranche A Commitment of such Tranche A DIP
Lender so terminated or reduced through the date thereof.
(c) Upon at least two Business Days' prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent, any Borrower may at any time in whole permanently
terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, its Borrowing Limit;
provided that (i) no Borrower may reduce its Borrowing Limit to an amount below
its then Outstanding Exposure and (ii) no Joint and Several Borrower may reduce
its Borrowing Limit to $0 pursuant to this subsection (c).
(d) Each such partial reduction of any Borrowing Limit pursuant to
subsection (c) shall be in the principal amount of $1,000,000 or any integral
multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.
Section 2.12. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each
occasion, that on the day two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have
determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the
Borrowers absent manifest error) that reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the applicable Adjusted LIBOR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall,
as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telegraphic notice of such
determination to each of the Borrowers and the DIP Lenders, and any request by
any Borrower for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (including pursuant to a
refinancing with Eurodollar Loans) pursuant to Section 2.07 or 2.13 shall be
deemed a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans. After such notice shall have been
given and until the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist,
each request for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be deemed to be a request
for a Borrowing of ABR Loans.
Section 2.13. Refinancing of Loans. Each Borrower shall have the right,
at any time, on three Business Days' prior irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent (which notice, to be effective, must be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third
Business Day preceding the date of any refinancing), (x) to refinance (without
the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 4 as a condition to such
refinancing) any outstanding Borrowing or Borrowings of Loans of one Type (or a
portion thereof) made to such Borrower with a Borrowing of Loans of the other
Type to such Borrower or (y) to continue an outstanding Borrowing of Eurodollar
Loans for an additional Interest Period, subject to the following:
(a) as a condition to the refinancing of ABR Loans with Eurodollar
Loans and to the continuation of Eurodollar Loans for an additional
Interest
41
Period, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
at the time of such refinancing (other than (x) a Financial Covenant Event
of Default with respect to a Borrower Group other than the Borrower Group
to which the Borrower that has borrowed the Loans proposed to be refinanced
belongs or (y) a True-Up Event of Default with respect to a single test
date or time with respect to a single Borrower Group other than the
Borrower Group to which the Borrower that has borrowed the Loans proposed
to be refinanced belongs);
(b) if less than a full Borrowing of Loans of either Class shall
be refinanced, such refinancing shall be made pro rata among the DIP
Lenders holding Loans of such Class in accordance with the respective
principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing held by such DIP
Lenders immediately prior to such refinancing;
(c) the aggregate principal amount of Loans being refinanced shall
be at least $1,000,000, provided that no partial refinancing of a Borrowing
of Eurodollar Loans shall result in the Eurodollar Loans remaining
outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing being less than $1,000,000 in
aggregate principal amount;
(d) each DIP Lender shall effect each refinancing by applying the
proceeds of its new Eurodollar Loan or ABR Loan, as the case may be, to its
Loan being refinanced;
(e) the Interest Period with respect to a Borrowing of Eurodollar
Loans effected by a refinancing or in respect to the Borrowing of
Eurodollar Loans being continued as Eurodollar Loans shall commence on the
date of refinancing or the expiration of the current Interest Period
applicable to such continuing Borrowing, as the case may be;
(f) a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans may be refinanced only on the
last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; and
(g) each request for a refinancing with a Borrowing of Eurodollar
Loans that fails to state an applicable Interest Period shall be deemed to
be a request for an Interest Period of one month.
In the event that a Borrower shall not give notice to refinance any Borrowing of
Eurodollar Loans made to such Borrower, or to continue such Borrowing as
Eurodollar Loans, or shall not be entitled to refinance or continue such
Borrowing as Eurodollar Loans, in each case as provided above, such Borrowing
shall automatically be refinanced with a Borrowing of ABR Loans at the
expiration of the then-current Interest Period. The Administrative Agent shall,
after it receives notice from any Borrower, promptly
42
give each DIP Lender notice of any refinancing, in whole or part, of any Loan
made by such DIP Lender.
Section 2.14. Reduction Events.
(a) (i) On any date of receipt of any Net Proceeds in respect of any
Reduction Event by any Several Loan Party:
(x) an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Net Proceeds shall
be applied by the Borrower in the Several Borrower Group to which such Several
Loan Party belongs as follows (and subject to Sections 2.14(a)(iii) and
2.14(a)(iv)):
first, to repay the outstanding Loans (if any) of such Borrower,
until such Loans have been repaid in full;
second, to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit (if any)
issued for the account of such Borrower by making a deposit in its Letter
of Credit Account, until the amount of cash and cash equivalents on deposit
therein is at least equal to 110% of its Letter of Credit Outstandings; and
third, to repay pro rata (on the basis of outstanding principal
amount) any Permitted Inter-Group Debt owed or guaranteed by any Loan Party
in the Several Borrower Group to which such Several Loan Party belongs.
provided that if the Net Proceeds in respect of any Reduction Event by any
Several Loan Party are less than $1,000,000, such reduction shall be made upon
receipt of Net Proceeds by such Several Loan Party or any other Several Loan
Party which belongs to the same Several Borrower Group such that, together with
all other such proceeds received by Several Loan Parties which belong to such
Several Borrower Group and have not previously applied pursuant to this Section
2.14(a)(i)(x), aggregate Net Proceeds are equal to at least $1,000,000. Any
amount of Net Proceeds with respect to such Reduction Event held by any Loan
Party after giving effect to the repayments and cash collateralizations
described above shall remain subject to the Liens securing the Secured
Obligations of such Loan Party and shall be used by such Loan Party as permitted
by this Agreement (including Section 5.08).
(y) the Borrowing Limit of the Several Borrower which belongs to the
same Several Borrower Group as the Several Loan Party which has received such
Net Proceeds shall be reduced by an amount to be determined by the Initial
Majority DIP Lenders in their discretion after consultation with the relevant
Borrower, provided that such amount will not be less than (1) 50% (or, in the
case of the Several Borrower Group identified as the "Frontiervision Borrower
Group" on Annex B, 60%) of (2) the amount of such Net Proceeds (and, for
purposes of this clause (y), "Net Proceeds" shall exclude any amounts of
obligations secured by Liens incurred prior to the Petition Date (other
43
than Pre-Petition Liens) encumbering the assets of any Loan Party belonging to
such Several Borrower Group and recognized by the Court as valid) minus the
aggregate amount of the repayments and cash collateralizations made pursuant to
clauses first and second of paragraph (x) of this Section 2.14(a)(i), (it being
understood that nothing in this clause (y) shall limit the ability of such
Several Borrower to reduce its Borrowing Limit in accordance with Section
2.11(c)); and
(z) the Total Tranche A Commitment will be reduced by an amount equal
to the aggregate amount of the repayment of Tranche A Loans and cash
collateralizations of Tranche A Letters of Credit made pursuant to clauses first
and second of paragraph (x) of this Section 2.14(a)(i) and the Total Tranche B
Credit-Linked Deposit Amount will be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate
amount of the repayment of Tranche B Loans and cash collateralizations of
Tranche B Letters of Credit made pursuant to clauses first and second of
paragraph (x) of this Section 2.14(a)(i).
(ii) On any date of receipt of any Net Proceeds in respect of any
Reduction Event by any Joint and Several Loan Party:
(x) an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Net Proceeds shall
be applied by the Borrower in the Joint and Several Group to which such Joint
and Several Loan Party belongs as follows (and subject to Sections 2.14(a)(iii)
and 2.14(a)(iv):
first, to repay the outstanding Loans (if any) of such Borrower,
until such Loans have been repaid in full;
second, to cash collateralize pro rata on the Letters of Credit
(if any) issued for the account of such Borrower, by making a deposit in
its Letter of Credit Account, until the amount of cash and cash equivalents
on deposit therein is at least equal to 110% of its Letter of Credit
Outstandings;
third, to repay (on a pro rata basis) the outstanding Loans (if
any) of all other Borrowers, until such Loans have been repaid in full;
fourth, to cash collateralize pro rata the Letters of Credit (if
any) issued for the account of all other Borrowers, by making a deposit in
each Letter of Credit Account, until the amount of cash and cash
equivalents on deposit therein is at least equal to 110% of its Letter of
Credit Outstandings; and
fifth, to repay pro rata (on the basis of outstanding principal
amount) any Permitted Inter-Group Debt owed or guaranteed by any Loan
Party;
provided that if the Net Proceeds in respect of any Reduction Event by any Joint
and Several Loan Party are less than $1,000,000, such reduction shall be made
upon receipt of Net Proceeds by any Joint and Several Loan Party such that,
together with all other
44
such proceeds received by Joint and Several Loan Parties and not previously
applied pursuant to this Section 2.14(a)(ii)(x), aggregate Net Proceeds are
equal to at least $1,000,000. Any amount of Net Proceeds with respect to such
Reduction Event held by any Loan Party after giving effect to the repayments and
cash collateralizations described above shall remain subject to the Liens
securing the Secured Obligations of such Loan Party and shall be used by such
Loan Party as permitted by this Agreement (including Section 5.08).
(y) the Borrowing Limit of each of the Borrowers shall be reduced by an
amount to be determined by the Initial Majority DIP Lenders in their discretion
after consultation with the Borrowers; and
(z) the Total Tranche A Commitment will be reduced by an amount equal
to the aggregate amount of the repayment of Tranche A Loans and cash
collateralizations of Tranche A Letters of Credit made pursuant to clauses first
and second of paragraph (x) of this Section 2.14(a)(ii) and the Total Tranche B
Credit-Linked Deposit Amount will be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate
amount of the repayment of Tranche B Loans and cash collateralizations of
Tranche B Letters of Credit made pursuant to clauses first and second of
paragraph (x) of this Section 2.14(a)(ii).
(iii) Subject to Section 2.14(a)(iv), each repayment of any Loans
and each cash collateralization of Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections
2.14(a)(i)(x) or 2.14(a)(ii)(x) shall be applied to repay pro rata (on the
basis of outstanding amounts) Loans of each Class and cash collateralize
Letters of Credit of each Class.
(iv) Each optional and mandatory prepayment (or cash
collateralization) of the Tranche B Loans and the Tranche B Letter of
Credit Obligations (each, a "Tranche B Unscheduled Prepayment") shall be
subject to the following provisions of this subsection:
(x) At least three Business Days before any date (an
"Unscheduled Prepayment Date") on which any Tranche B Unscheduled
Prepayment would, but for the provisions of this subsection,
otherwise be made pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall
deliver a notice (a "Tranche B Notice") to the Administrative
Agent, which shall (x) state that the Borrower intends to make a
Tranche B Unscheduled Prepayment, (y) state the amount thereof and
(z) contain an offer to prepay and/or cash collateralize, as the
case may be, on a specified date (a "Deferred Tranche B Prepayment
Date"), which shall be the tenth Business Day after the date of
the Borrower's Tranche B Notice (or such other date as shall be
mutually agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent), the Tranche B Loans and/or Tranche B Letters of Credit, as
applicable, of each Tranche B DIP Lender by a principal
45
amount equal to its Class Percentage of such Tranche B Unscheduled
Prepayment. Each Borrower's Tranche B Notice shall be given by
telecopy, confirmed by hand delivery or overnight courier service,
in each case addressed to the Administrative Agent as provided in
Section 10.01. Promptly after it receives any Borrower's Tranche B
Notice, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a notice complying
with clause (v) of this subsection (a "Tranche B Prepayment
Notice") to each Tranche B DIP Lender. Such Tranche B Unscheduled
Prepayment shall not occur on such Unscheduled Prepayment Date,
but shall instead be deferred to the Deferred Tranche B Prepayment
Date described above.
(y) Each Tranche B Prepayment Notice shall be in writing,
shall refer to this Section and shall (1) notify the relevant
Tranche B DIP Lender of the contents and the date of the
Borrower's Tranche B Notice, (2) state the principal amount that
such Tranche B DIP Lender will be entitled to receive if it
accepts the prepayment described therein, (3) request such Tranche
B DIP Lender to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
in writing, at least three Business Days before the Deferred
Tranche B Prepayment Date, as to whether such Tranche B DIP Lender
accepts or rejects (in each case, in whole and not in part) such
offer of prepayment and (4) inform such Tranche B DIP Lender that,
if it fails to reject such offer in writing at least three
Business Days before such Deferred Tranche B Prepayment Date, it
will be deemed to accept such offer; provided that no Tranche B
DIP Lender shall be entitled to reject any offer of prepayment as
contemplated in clause (3) of this Section 2.14(a)(iv)(y) if,
after application of such prepayment assuming that no such right
of rejection is applicable thereto, (i) all Loans outstanding to
each of the Borrowers would be repaid in full, together with
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (ii) all Letters of Credit
issued for the account of each of the Borrowers shall have expired
or would be cash collateralized as contemplated by clause (iii)
below, (iii) all other Secured Obligations of each Loan Party
would be repaid in full (or, as to Contingent Secured Obligations,
100% cash collateralized or, in the case of Contingent Secured
Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, 110% cash
collateralized), and (iv) the Borrowing Limit of each Borrowing
Group would be permanently reduced to $0.
(z) On each Deferred Tranche B Prepayment Date, the
Administrative Agent shall instruct the Collateral Agent to
withdraw from the relevant Loan Party's Reduction Event Collateral
Account the principal amount that was deposited therein pursuant
to Section 2.14(a)(v) below and deferred to such date pursuant to
this subsection. The Administrative Agent shall apply such amount
to prepay the Tranche B Loans and/cash collateralize Tranche B
Letters of Credit of each
46
Tranche B DIP Lender that shall have accepted (or been deemed to
have accepted) such prepayment (each, an "Accepting Tranche B DIP
Lender") by an amount equal to its Class Pecentage of the relevant
Tranche B Unscheduled Prepayment and shall apply the balance of
the deferred prepayment amount to prepay and/or cash
collateralize, as the case may be, the then outstanding Tranche A
Loans and Tranche A Letters of Credit ratably.
(v) Promptly after any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf
of any Loan Party in respect of any Reduction Event, the Borrower shall
deposit a portion of such Net Proceeds equal to the aggregate amount of the
repayment of Tranche B Loans and cash collateralizations of Tranche B
Letters of Credit to be made pursuant to clauses first and second of
paragraph (x) of each of Section 2.14(a)(i) and Section 2.14(a)(ii) (as
applicable) in its Reduction Event Collateral Account to be held until
applied to make the related prepayments and cash collateralization. If any
portion of any optional or mandatory Tranche B Unscheduled Prepayment is
deferred pursuant to this Section, the deferred amount shall be held by the
Borrower in its Reduction Event Collateral Account and withdrawn from such
Reduction Event Collateral Account by the Collateral Agent at the
instruction of the Administrative Agent on the related Deferred Tranche B
Prepayment Date and applied to make the prepayment and cash
collateralizations to be made on such date.
(vi) If on any date Loan Parties in more than one Borrower Group
(one of which is a Joint and Several Borrower Group) each receive Net
Proceeds in respect of any Reduction Event, the repayments and cash
collateralizations required to be made as a result of the receipt of Net
Proceeds by a Joint and Several Loan Party will be made first and
repayments and cash collateralizations by such Joint and Several Loan Party
shall be limited to the amount of Net Proceeds received by such Joint and
Several Loan Party, and then the repayments and cash collateralizations
required to be made as a result of the receipt of Net Proceeds by Loan
Parties in a Several Borrower Group will be made (in such order as the
Administrative Agent shall determine in its discretion).
(b) Upon the Termination Date, each of the Total Tranche A Commitment
and the Total Tranche B Credit-Linked Deposit Amount shall be terminated in full
and each Borrower shall pay its Loans in full and cash collateralize its then
outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 110% of its Letter of Credit
Outstandings; provided that if the Termination Date has not occurred with
respect to all Borrower Groups, (i) neither the Total Tranche A Commitment nor
the Total Tranche B Credit-Linked Deposit Amount shall be terminated, (ii) no
Borrower other than the Borrower or Borrowers that belong to the Borrower Groups
with respect to which the Termination Date has occurred shall be required to pay
its Loans in full and cash collateralize its then outstanding Letters of Credit
in an amount equal to 110% of its Letter of Credit Outstandings and
48
(iii) the Borrower or Borrowers that belong in the Borrower Groups with respect
to which the Termination Date has occurred shall satisfy all the Exit Conditions
no later than the Termination Date with respect to them.
(c) The relevant Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by
telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment, cash collateralization or
reduction under this Section not later than 12:30 p.m., New York City time, six
(6) Business Days before the date of prepayment, cash collateralization or
reduction (to the extent practicable in the case of a Reduction Event), as the
case may be (or, solely if such prepayment will be a prepayment of ABR Loans
only, no later than 12:30 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such
prepayment). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the
prepayment or cash collateralization date and, if applicable, each Borrowing or
portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice,
the Administrative Agent shall advise the Fronting Banks and the DIP Lenders of
the contents thereof.
Section 2.15. Optional Prepayment of Loans; Reimbursement of DIP
Lenders.
(a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to
time to prepay any of their respective Loans, in whole or in part, without
penalty or premium (but subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15(b) and
2.15(c)) (x) with respect to Eurodollar Loans, upon at least three (3) Business
Days' prior written, telex or facsimile notice to the Administrative Agent and
(y) with respect to ABR Loans on the same Business Day if written, telex or
facsimile notice is received by the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 p.m., New
York City time, and thereafter upon at least one Business Day's prior written,
telex or facsimile notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that
(i) each such partial prepayment shall be in integral multiples of $5,000,000
and, in any event not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) no prepayment of Eurodollar
Loans shall be permitted pursuant to this Section 2.15(a) other than on the last
day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless such prepayment is
accompanied by the payment of the amounts described in clause (i) of the first
sentence of Section 2.15(b), (iii) no partial prepayment of a Borrowing of
Eurodollar Loans shall result in the aggregate principal amount of the
Eurodollar Loans remaining outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing being less
than $5,000,000 and (iv) no Borrower may prepay at any time any of its Tranche B
Loans pursuant to this Section if any of its Tranche A Loans are outstanding at
such time. Each notice of prepayment shall (x) specify the prepayment date, the
Borrower making the prepayment and the principal amount of the Loans to be
prepaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrowing or Borrowings
pursuant to which made, (y) be irrevocable and (z) commit the relevant Borrower
to prepay such Loans by the amount and on the date stated therein, subject to
the provisions of Section 2.14(a)(iv). The Administrative Agent shall, promptly
after receiving notice from a Borrower hereunder, notify each affected DIP
Lender of the principal amount of the Loans held by such DIP Lender that are to
be prepaid, the prepayment date and the manner of application of the prepayment.
49
(b) The relevant Borrower shall reimburse each DIP Lender on demand for
any loss incurred or to be incurred by it in the reemployment of the funds
released (i) resulting from any prepayment (for any reason whatsoever,
including, without limitation, refinancing with ABR Loans) of any Eurodollar
Loan required or permitted under this Agreement, if such Loan is prepaid other
than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (including, without
limitation, any such prepayment in connection with the syndication of the credit
facility evidenced by this Agreement) or (ii) in the event that after such
Borrower delivers a notice of borrowing under Section 2.07 in respect of
Eurodollar Loans, such Loans are not made on the first day of the Interest
Period specified in such notice of borrowing for any reason other than a breach
by such DIP Lender of its obligations hereunder. Such loss shall be the amount
as reasonably determined by such DIP Lender as the excess, if any, of (A) the
amount of interest which would have accrued to such DIP Lender on the amount so
paid or not borrowed at a rate of interest equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for
such Loan, for the period from the date of such payment or failure to borrow to
the last day (x) in the case of a payment or refinancing with ABR Loans other
than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, of the then current
Interest Period for such Loan, or (y) in the case of such failure to borrow, of
the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such
failure to borrow, over (B) the amount of interest which would have accrued to
such DIP Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a
comparable period with leading banks in the London interbank market. Each DIP
Lender shall deliver to the relevant Borrower from time to time one or more
certificates setting forth the amount of such loss as determined by such DIP
Lender.
(c) In the event a Borrower fails to prepay any Loan on the date
specified in any prepayment notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.15(a), such
Borrower on demand by any DIP Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of such DIP Lender any amounts required to compensate such DIP
Lender for any loss incurred by such DIP Lender as a result of such failure to
prepay, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expenses incurred by
reason of the acquisition of deposits or other funds by such DIP Lender to
fulfill deposit obligations incurred in anticipation of such prepayment, but
without duplication of any amounts paid under Section 2.15(b). Each DIP Lender
shall deliver to the relevant Borrower from time to time one or more
certificates setting forth the amount of such loss as determined by such DIP
Lender.
(d) Any partial prepayment of Loans by a Borrower pursuant to Section
2.14 or 2.15 shall be applied to such Borrower's Loans as specified by such
Borrower (subject to clause (iv) of Section 2.15(a)) or, in the absence of such
specification, as determined by the Administrative Agent, and shall be applied
to repay ratably the Loan of the several DIP Lenders included within such
Borrowing or Borrowings, provided that, in the event such a partial prepayment
is applied as determined by the Administrative Agent (in the absence of a
specification by the relevant Borrower), no Eurodollar Loans shall be prepaid
pursuant to Section 2.14 to the extent that such Loan has an Interest Period
49
ending after the required date of prepayment unless and until all outstanding
ABR Loans and Eurodollar Loans with Interest Periods ending on such date have
been repaid in full.
(e) The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.15 shall
survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 2.16. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date of
this Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the
force of law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any DIP Lender
of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Loan made by such DIP Lender
or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than changes in respect of
Taxes, Other Taxes and taxes imposed on, or measured by, the net income or
overall gross receipts or franchise taxes of such DIP Lender by the jurisdiction
in which such DIP Lender has its principal office or in which the applicable
lending office for such Eurodollar Loan is located or by any political
subdivision or taxing authority therein, or by any other jurisdiction or by any
political subdivision or taxing authority therein other than a jurisdiction in
which such DIP Lender would not be subject to tax but for the execution and
performance of this Agreement), or shall impose, modify or deem applicable any
reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of or credit extended by such DIP Lender (except any such
reserve requirement that is reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or shall
impose on such DIP Lender or the London interbank market any other condition
affecting this Agreement or the Eurodollar Loans made by such DIP Lender, and
the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such DIP
Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or to reduce the amount of
any sum received or receivable by such DIP Lender hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such DIP Lender to be
material, then the relevant Borrower will pay to such DIP Lender in accordance
with paragraph (c) below such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such DIP Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any DIP Lender shall have determined that the adoption or
effectiveness after the date hereof of any law, rule, regulation or guideline
regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the foregoing or in the
interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation of
administration thereof, or compliance by any DIP Lender (or any lending office
of such DIP Lender) or any DIP Lender's holding company with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such DIP Lender's capital or on the
capital of such DIP Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Loans made
50
by such DIP Lender pursuant hereto, such DIP Lender's Commitment hereunder or
the issuance of, or participation in, any Letter of Credit by such DIP Lender to
a level below that which such DIP Lender or such DIP Lender's holding company
could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into
account DIP Lender's policies and the policies of such DIP Lender's holding
company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such DIP Lender
to be material, then from time to time the relevant Borrower shall pay to such
DIP Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such DIP Lender
or such DIP Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of each DIP Lender setting forth such amount or
amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such DIP Lender or its holding
company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, shall be
delivered to the relevant Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The relevant Borrower shall pay each DIP Lender the amount shown as due
on any such certificate delivered to it within ten (10) days after its receipt
of the same. Any DIP Lender receiving any such payment shall promptly make a
refund thereof to the relevant Borrower if the law, regulation, guideline or
change in circumstances giving rise to such payment is subsequently deemed or
held to be invalid or inapplicable.
(d) Failure on the part of any DIP Lender to demand compensation for
any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction
in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of
such DIP Lender's right to demand compensation with respect to such period or
any other period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each DIP
Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or
inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or
condition which shall have occurred or been imposed.
Section 2.17. Change in Legality.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in
this Agreement, if (x) any change after the date of this Agreement in any law or
regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority
charged with the administration thereof shall make it unlawful for a DIP Lender
to make or maintain a Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as
contemplated hereby with respect to a Eurodollar Loan or (y) at any time any DIP
Lender determines that the making or continuance of any of its Eurodollar Loans
has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date
hereof that adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such
DIP Lender in such market, then, by written notice to the Borrower, such DIP
Lender may (i) declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter be made by such
DIP Lender hereunder, whereupon any request by a Borrower for a Eurodollar
Borrowing shall, as to such DIP Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan
unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and (ii) require that
all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which
event
51
all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of
the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below. In the
event any DIP Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) of this
paragraph (a), all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise
have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by
such DIP Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such DIP Lender shall
instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such DIP Lender in lieu of, or
resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.
(b) For purposes of this Section 2.17, a notice to a Borrower by any
DIP Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall be effective, if lawful, and if
any Eurodollar Loans shall then be outstanding, on the last day of the
then-current Interest Period; otherwise, such notice shall be effective on the
date of receipt by the relevant Borrower.
Section 2.18. Pro Rata Treatment, Etc. All payments and repayments of
principal and interest in respect of the Loans of any Class (except as provided
in Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.17) shall be made pro rata among the DIP Lenders of
such Class in accordance with their relevant Outstanding Exposures, and all
payments of Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees (other than those payable
to a Fronting Bank) shall be made pro rata among the DIP Lenders of the relevant
Class in accordance with their Class Percentages. All payments by a Borrower
hereunder shall be (i) net of any tax applicable to such Borrower or any
Guarantor and (ii) made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the office
of the Administrative Agent at 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date on
which such payment shall be due. Interest in respect of any Loan hereunder shall
accrue from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date on
which such Loan is paid in full or converted to a Loan of a different Type.
Section 2.19. Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by a Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured by
the net income or gross receipts of the Administrative Agent or any DIP Lender
(or, as contemplated by Section 10.03 hereof, any transferee or assignee
thereof, including a participation holder (any such entity being called a
"Transferee")) and franchise taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any
DIP Lender (or Transferee) by the United States or any jurisdiction under the
laws of which the Administrative Agent or any DIP Lender (or Transferee) is
organized or in which the applicable lending office of any such DIP Lender (or
Transferee) or applicable office of the Administrative Agent is located or any
political subdivision thereof or by any other jurisdiction or by any political
subdivision or taxing authority therein other than a jurisdiction in which the
Administrative Agent or such DIP
52
Lender would not be subject to tax but for the execution and performance of this
Agreement and (ii) taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings
("Amounts") with respect to payments hereunder to a DIP Lender (or Transferee)
or the Administrative Agent in accordance with laws in effect on the later of
the date of this Agreement and the date such DIP Lender (or Transferee) or the
Administrative Agent becomes a DIP Lender (or Transferee or Administrative
Agent, as the case may be), but not excluding, with respect to such DIP Lender
(or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, any increase in such Amounts solely
as a result of any change in such laws occurring after such later date or any
Amounts that would not have been imposed but for actions (other than actions
contemplated by this Agreement) taken by a Borrower after such later date (all
such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If a Borrower or any
Guarantor shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any
sum payable hereunder to the DIP Lenders (or any Transferee) or the
Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such DIP Lender (or
Transferee) or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall receive an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the relevant Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower
shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any current or future
stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges,
assessments or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from
the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").
(c) Each Borrower will indemnify each DIP Lender (or Transferee) and
the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes paid by
such DIP Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be,
and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly
or legally asserted by the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental
Authority. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date any
DIP Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be,
makes written demand therefor. If a DIP Lender (or Transferee) or the
Administrative Agent shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund
in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a
Borrower pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify such Borrower of the
availability of such refund and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request
by such Borrower, apply for such refund at such Borrower's expense. If any DIP
Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect
of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower
pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify such Borrower of such refund
and shall, within 30 days
53
after receipt of a request by such Borrower (or promptly upon receipt, if such
Borrower has requested application for such refund pursuant hereto), repay such
refund to such Borrower (to the extent of amounts that have been paid by such
Borrower under this Section with respect to such refund plus interest that is
received by the DIP Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent as part
of the refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such DIP Lender (or
Transferee) or the Administrative Agent and without additional interest thereon;
provided that such Borrower, upon the request of such DIP Lender (or Transferee)
or the Administrative Agent, agrees to return such refund (plus penalties,
interest or other charges) to such DIP Lender (or Transferee) or the
Administrative Agent in the event such DIP Lender (or Transferee) or the
Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund. Nothing contained in this
subsection (c) shall require any DIP Lender (or Transferee) or the
Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes that it deems to be confidential).
(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other
Taxes withheld by a Borrower in respect of any payment to any DIP Lender (or
Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, such Borrower will furnish to the
Administrative Agent, at its address referred to on the signature pages hereof,
the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained
herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section shall survive
the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans made
hereunder.
(f) Each DIP Lender (or Transferee) that is organized under the laws of
a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, if legally able to do so, prior
to the immediately following due date of any payment by a Borrower hereunder,
deliver to such Borrower such certificates, documents or other evidence, as
required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including,
but not limited to, Internal Revenue Service Form X-0XXX, X-0XX0, or W-9 and any
other certificate or statement of exemption required by applicable law, properly
completed and duly executed by such DIP Lender (or Transferee) establishing that
such payment is (i) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under
the Code because such payment is effectively connected with the conduct by such
DIP Lender (or Transferee) of a trade or business in the United States or (ii)
totally exempt from United States Federal withholding tax or subject to a
reduced rate of such tax as a result of the application of a provision of an
applicable tax treaty or otherwise. Unless the relevant Borrower and the
Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them
indicating that such payments hereunder are not subject to United States Federal
withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable
tax treaty, such Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall withhold taxes from
such payments at the applicable statutory rate.
54
(g) No Borrower shall be required to pay any additional amounts to any
DIP Lender (or Transferee) in respect of United States Federal withholding tax
pursuant to subsection (a) above if the obligation to pay such additional
amounts would not have arisen if such DIP Lender (or Transferee) had complied
with the provisions of subsection (f) above.
(h) The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.19 shall
survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 2.20. Certain Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, for the
respective accounts of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the
DIP Lenders, as the case may be, the fees set forth in that certain letter dated
June 25, 2002 among each of the Borrowers, JPMCB, CUSA, JPMSI and SSB at the
times set forth therein.

Loan Document (other than amounts to which such Agent is entitled to receive for
its own account pursuant to Sections 2.20, 2.22, 8.06, 10.05 and 10.06 of this
Agreement), the application of which is not otherwise provided for in any Loan
Document shall be
88
applied, first, in accordance with each DIP Lender's Class Percentage to pay
accrued but unpaid Commitment Fees (if any) or Letter of Credit Fees, and
second, in accordance with each DIP Lender's Class Percentage to pay accrued but
unpaid interest and the principal balance outstanding and all reimbursed Letter
of Credit drawings, and then to cash collateralize any outstanding Letter of
Credit Obligations and to pay any other outstanding Obligation. All amounts to
be paid to a DIP Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be credited to that
DIP Lender, after collection by the Administrative Agent, in immediately
available funds either by wire transfer or deposit in that DIP Lender's
correspondent account with the Administrative Agent, as such DIP Lender and the
Administrative Agent shall from time to time agree (except that any amounts to
be paid to any Tranche B DIP Lender and required to be deposited pursuant to
Section 2.02(b) in its Tranche B Credit-Linked Account shall be so deposited).
Subject in any event to Section 8.03, in the event of an acceleration of the
Loans and Reimbursement Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, any
payments with respect thereto shall be applied pro rata between the Classes, on
the basis of the aggregate Tranche A Outstanding Exposure of all the Tranche A
DIP Lenders and the aggregate Tranche B Outstanding Exposure of all the Tranche
B DIP Lenders at such time.
Section 8.03. Sharing of Setoffs. Each DIP Lender agrees that if it
shall, through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim
against any Loan Party, including, but not limited to, a secured claim under
Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security interest arising from, or
in lieu of, such secured claim and received by such DIP Lender under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of its Loans as a result of which the unpaid portion of its
Loans is proportionately less than the unpaid portion of the Loans of any other
DIP Lender (a) it shall promptly purchase at par (and shall be deemed to have
thereupon purchased) from such other DIP Lender a participation in the Loans of
such other DIP Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each DIP
Lender's Loans and its participation in Loans of the other DIP Lenders shall be
in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans
then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to the obtaining of
such payment was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to the
obtaining of such payment and (b) such other adjustments shall be made from time
to time as shall be equitable to ensure that the DIP Lenders share such payment
pro-rata, provided that if any such non-pro-rata payment is thereafter recovered
or otherwise set aside, such purchase of participation shall be rescinded
(without interest). Each Loan Party expressly consents to the foregoing
arrangements and agrees that any DIP Lender holding (or deemed to be holding) a
participation in a Loan may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, setoff
or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by such Borrower to
such DIP Lender as fully as if such DIP Lender held a Note and was the original
obligee thereon, in the amount of such participation.
Section 8.04. Agreement of Required DIP Lenders or Super-Majority DIP
Lenders. Upon any occasion requiring or permitting an approval, consent, waiver,
89
election or other action on the part of the Required DIP Lenders or
Super-Majority DIP Lenders, action shall be taken by the Administrative Agent
for and on behalf or of the benefit of all DIP Lenders upon the direction of the
Required DIP Lenders or the Super-Majority DIP Lenders (as the case may be), and
any such action shall be binding on all DIP Lenders. No amendment, modification,
consent, or waiver shall be effective except in accordance with the provisions
of Section 10.10.
Section 8.05. Liability of Agents.
(a) Each of the Agents, when acting on behalf of the DIP Lenders, may
execute any of its respective duties under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document by or through any of its respective officers, agents, and employees,
and none of the Agents, any of their directors, officers, agents, employees or
Affiliates shall be liable to the DIP Lenders or any of them for any action
taken or omitted to be taken in good faith, or be responsible to the DIP Lenders
or to any of them for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment, or
for any loss, unless the same shall happen through its gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The Agents and their respective directors, officers, agents,
employees and Affiliates shall in no event be liable to the DIP Lenders or to
any of them for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them pursuant to
instructions received by them from the Required DIP Lenders or in reliance upon
the advice of counsel selected by it. Without limiting the foregoing, none of
the Agents, any of their respective directors, officers, employees,
administrative agents or Affiliates shall be responsible to any DIP Lender for
the due execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness, sufficiency, or
enforceability of, or for any statement, warranty or representation in, this
Agreement, any Loan Document or any related agreement, document or order, or
shall be required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance
or observance by the Borrower of any of the terms, conditions, covenants, or
agreements of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents.
(b) None of the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers,
employees, administrative agents or Affiliates shall have any responsibility to
any Loan Party on account of the failure or delay in performance or breach by
any DIP Lender or by any Loan Party of any of its respective obligations under
this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or in connection herewith or
therewith.
(c) Each of the Agents, in its capacity as an Agent hereunder, shall be
entitled to rely on any communication, instrument, or document reasonably
believed by such person to be genuine or correct and to have been signed or sent
by a person or persons believed by such person to be the proper person or
persons, and such person shall be entitled to rely on advice of legal counsel,
independent public accountants, and other professional advisers and experts
selected by such person.
Section 8.06. Reimbursement and Indemnification. Each DIP Lender agrees
(i) to reimburse (x) each of the Agents for such DIP Lender's Total Percentage
of any
90
expenses and fees incurred for the benefit of the DIP Lenders under this
Agreement and any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, counsel
fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on
behalf of the DIP Lenders, and any other expense incurred in connection with the
operations or enforcement thereof not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and (y)
each of the Agents for such DIP Lender's Total Percentage of any expenses of the
Agents incurred for the benefit of the DIP Lenders that the Borrowers have
agreed to reimburse pursuant to Section 10.05 and have failed to so reimburse
and (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Agents and any of its
directors, officers, employees, administrative agents or Affiliates, on demand,
in the amount of its proportionate share, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or any of them in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any
action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any of the
Loan Documents to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties (except such as
shall result from their respective gross negligence or willful misconduct).
Section 8.07. Rights of Agents. It is understood and agreed that each
of the Agents shall have the same rights and powers hereunder (including the
right to give such instructions) as the other DIP Lenders and may exercise such
rights and powers, as well as its rights and powers under other agreements and
instruments to which it is or may be party, and engage in other transactions
with any Loan Party, as though it were not an Agent of the DIP Lenders under
Loan Documents.
Section 8.08. Independent DIP Lenders. Each DIP Lender acknowledges
that it has decided to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and to make the Loans hereunder based on its own analysis of the transactions
contemplated hereby and of the creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and agrees
that the Agents shall bear no responsibility therefor.
Section 8.09. Notice of Transfer. Each of the Agents may deem and treat
a DIP Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document as the owner of
such DIP Lender's portion of the Loans for all purposes, unless and until a
written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof executed by such DIP Lender
shall have been received by each of the Agents.
Section 8.10. Successor Agents. Each Agent may resign at any time by
giving written notice thereof to the DIP Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any
such resignation, the Required DIP Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor Agent, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers. If no
successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required DIP Lenders and
shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent's
giving of notice of resignation, the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the DIP
Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a
91
commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of
any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$100,000,000, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement
or any Loan Document. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent,
the provisions of this Article 8 shall inure (as applicable) to its benefit as
to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the
Loan Documents. Upon the effectiveness of the retirement of any Administrative
Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may, at its option, (i) transfer the
management of all then existing Tranche B Credit-Linked Accounts to the
successor Administrative Agent or (ii) close all such Tranche B Credit-Linked
Accounts upon the establishment of new Tranche B Credit-Linked Accounts with the
successor Administrative Agent (and the successor Administrative Agent shall
establish such new accounts) and transfer all amounts on deposit in such Tranche
B Credit-Linked Accounts to such new accounts.
ARTICLE 9.
GUARANTY
Section 9.01. Guaranty.
(a) Each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees
the due and punctual payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations of
such Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that the Obligations
included in such Guarantor's Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed,
in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from such Guarantor,
and that such Guarantor will remain bound upon this guaranty notwithstanding any
extension or renewal of any of such Obligations.
(b) Each of the Guarantors waives presentation to, demand for payment
from and protest to any other Loan Party, and also waives notice of protest for
nonpayment. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by
(i) the failure of any Agent, any Fronting Bank or any DIP Lender to assert any
claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any other Loan Party
under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any extension or
renewal of any provision thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, compromise,
acceleration, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of any
Loan Document (except as and to the extent any of the foregoing explicitly
related to the Obligations of such Guarantor, in which case the Guaranty shall
be modified accordingly); (iv) the release, exchange, waiver or foreclosure of
any security for any of the Obligations of any Loan Party (except as and to
92
the extent any of the foregoing explicitly related to the Obligations of such
Guarantor, in which case the Guaranty shall be modified accordingly); (v) the
failure of any Agent, the Fronting Bank or any DIP Lender to exercise any right
or remedy against any other Loan Party; (vi) the release or substitution of any
Loan Party; or (vii) any other event or condition which, but for the provisions
hereof, would constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of
such Guarantor hereunder.
(c) Each of the Guarantors further agrees that this guaranty
constitutes a guaranty of performance and of payment when due of the Guaranteed
Obligations of such Guarantor and not just of collection, and waives any right
to require that any resort be had by any Agent, any Fronting Bank or any DIP
Lender to any security held for payment of such Guaranteed Obligations (or any
other Obligations) or to any balance of any deposit, account or credit on the
books of any Agent, any Fronting Bank or any DIP Lender in favor of any Loan
Party or to any other Person.
(d) Each of the Guarantors hereby waives any defense that it might have
based on a failure to remain informed of the financial condition of any other
Loan Party and any circumstances affecting the ability of any other Loan Party
to perform under any Loan Document.
(e) Each Guarantor's guaranty hereunder shall not be affected by the
genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of its Guaranteed
Obligations (or any other Obligations) or any other instrument evidencing any
Guaranteed Obligations (or any other Obligations), or by the existence,
validity, enforceability, perfection, or extent of any Collateral therefor or by
any other circumstance relating to its Guaranteed Obligations (or any other
Obligations) that might otherwise constitute a defense to this guaranty. No
Agent, Fronting Bank or DIP Lender makes any representation or warranty in
respect to any such circumstances.
(f) Upon any of the Obligations becoming due and payable (by
acceleration or otherwise), the Agents, DIP Lenders and the Fronting Bank shall
be entitled to immediate payment of such Obligations by each of the Guarantors
whose Guaranteed Obligations include such Obligations, upon written demand by
the Administrative Agent, without further application to or order of the
Bankruptcy Court.
Section 9.02. No Impairment of Guaranty. The obligations of each of the
Guarantors hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation,
impairment or termination for any reason, other than repayment in full of the
Obligations to which such Guaranty relates, including, without limitation, any
claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be
subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of
the Obligations that are included in such Guarantor's Guaranteed Obligations or
any other Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall not
93
be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Agent, any
Fronting Bank or any DIP Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any
remedy under any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument, by any
waiver or modification of any provision thereof, by any default, failure or
delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, or by
any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing that
may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any of the
Guarantors or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any of the Guarantors as
a matter of law, unless and until the Obligations that are included in such
Guarantor's Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full (in which case they will be
terminated) or in part (in which case they will be reduced by the amount of such
payment).
Section 9.03. Subrogation. (a) Upon payment by any Guarantor (any such
Guarantor, a "Paying Guarantor") of any of its Guaranteed Obligations to any
Agent, any Fronting Bank or any DIP Lender pursuant to the guaranty granted by
such Guarantor under this Article 9 or pursuant to Section 2.14, such Paying
Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against (i) the Loan
Party whose Obligations constituted the Guaranteed Obligations that were so paid
by such Paying Guarantor (such Loan Party, the "Benefitting Loan Party") and
(ii) any other Loan Party that has guaranteed the Obligations of the Benefitting
Loan Party pursuant to this Article 9 or whose funds have been applied to pay
such Obligations pursuant to Section 2.14.
(b) Each Loan Party agrees that all rights of any Paying Guarantor
against any other Loan Party arising by way of right of subrogation,
contribution or otherwise, as a result of any payment made by any Paying
Guarantor pursuant to this Article 9 or pursuant to Section 2.14, shall, as set
forth in the Orders, (i) in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of
payment to the prior final payment in full of all the Obligations (and all other
obligations or Liens to which the Obligations are subject, including, without
limitation, the Carve-Out), the termination of the Total Commitment and the
termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit, (ii) rank pari passu with
the Permitted Inter-Group Debt of the relevant Loan Parties and (iii) rank
senior to the adequate protection Liens and the priority claims granted to the
Pre-Petition Lenders against the relevant Loan Parties, as contemplated by the
Orders.
(c) If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor for the account of
any other Loan Party, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
Agents, the Fronting Banks and the DIP Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to
the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the relevant Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to any
Agent, Fronting Bank or DIP Lender of all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations, (ii) all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash,
(iii) the Total Commitments shall have been terminated and (iv) all Letters of
Credit shall have expired or been terminated, such Agent, Fronting Bank or DIP
Lender will, at such Guarantor's request and expense, execute and deliver to
such Guarantor appropriate documents necessary to evidence the transfer by
subrogation to
94
such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such
payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty.
Section 9.04. Nature of Obligations of each Guarantor. The obligations
of each Joint and Several Guarantor hereunder are joint and several. The
obligations of each Several Guarantor hereunder are (i) joint and several as to
each other Several Guarantor which belongs to the same Several Borrower Group as
such Several Guarantor and (ii) several, and not joint, as to each other Loan
Party.

Section 10.02. Survival of Agreement, Representations and Warranties,
etc. All warranties, representations and covenants made by any Loan Party herein
or in any
95
certificate or other instrument delivered by it or on its behalf in connection
with this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the DIP
Lenders and shall survive the making of the Loans herein contemplated regardless
of any investigation made by any DIP Lender or on its behalf and shall continue

outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated.
All statements in any such certificate or other instrument shall constitute
representations and warranties by the Loan Parties hereunder with respect to the
Loan Parties.
Section 10.03. Successors and Assigns.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Loan Parties, the Agents and the DIP Lenders and their respective successors
and assigns. No Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the DIP
Lenders. Each DIP Lender may sell participations to any Person in all or part of
any Loan, or all or part of its Tranche A Commitment or Tranche B Credit-Linked
Deposit Amount, in which event, without limiting the foregoing, the provisions
of Section 2.16 shall inure to the benefit of each purchaser of a participation
(provided that such participant shall look solely to the seller of such
participation for such benefits and the Loan Parties' liability, if any, under
Sections 2.16 and 2.19 shall not be increased as a result of the sale of any
such participation) and the pro rata treatment of payments, as described in
Section 2.18, shall be determined as if such DIP Lender had not sold such
participation. In the event any DIP Lender shall sell any participation, such
DIP Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the
obligations of each Loan Party relating to the Loans, including, without
limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement (provided that such DIP Lender may grant its
participant the right to consent to such DIP Lender's execution of amendments,
modifications or waivers that (i) reduce any Fees payable hereunder to the DIP
Lenders, (ii) reduce the amount of any scheduled principal payment on any Loan
or reduce the principal amount of any Loan or the rate of interest payable
hereunder or (iii) extend the maturity of any Loan Party's obligations
hereunder). The sale of any such participation shall not alter the rights and
obligations of the DIP Lender selling such participation hereunder with respect
to the Loan Parties.
(b) Each DIP Lender may assign to one or more DIP Lenders or Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Tranche A
Commitment or Tranche B Credit-Linked Deposit Amount and the same portion of the
related Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings at the time owing to it),
provided, however, that (i) other than in the case of an assignment to a DIP
Lender Affiliate of the assignor DIP Lender or to another DIP Lender, the
Administrative Agent and the Fronting Bank must give their respective prior
written consent to such assignment, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld, (ii) after giving effect to such assignment, (x) the aggregate amount
of the
96
Tranche A Commitment or Tranche B Credit-Linked Deposit Amount of the assigning
DIP Lender shall, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Administrative
Agent, be either $0 or at least $1,000,000 and (y) the aggregate amount of the
Tranche A Commitment or Tranche B Credit-Linked Deposit Amount of the assignee
DIP Lender shall, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Administrative
Agent, be at least $1,000,000 and (iii) the parties to each such assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and
recording in the Register (as defined below), an Assignment and Acceptance with
blanks appropriately completed, together with a processing and recordation fee
of $3,500 (for which no Loan Party shall have any liability). Upon such
execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be
within ten Business Days after the execution thereof (unless otherwise agreed to
in writing by the Administrative Agent), (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a
party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have
the rights and obligations of a DIP Lender hereunder and (B) the assignor DIP
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and
Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an
assigning DIP Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such DIP
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Concurrently with the effectiveness of
any assignment by any Tranche B DIP Lender of all or any portion of its Tranche
B Credit-Linked Deposit Amount, (x) if the assignee was not a Tranche B DIP
Lender immediately prior to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall
establish a new Tranche B Credit-Linked Account in the name of such assignee,
(y) unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent, a corresponding
portion of the amount on deposit in the Tranche B Credit-Linked Account of the
assignor Tranche B DIP Lender shall be purchased by the assignee and shall be
transferred from the assignor's Tranche B Credit-Linked Account to the
assignee's Tranche B Credit-Linked Account and (z) if after giving effect to
such assignment the aggregate amount of the Tranche B Credit-Linked Deposit
Amount of the assignor Tranche B DIP Lender shall be $0, the Administrative
Agent shall close the Tranche B Credit-Linked Account of such assignor Tranche B
DIP Lender.
(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the DIP
Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with
each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than the
representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the
interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, such DIP
Lender assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations
made in or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency
or value of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) such DIP
Lender assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the
performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan
97
Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii)
such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such DIP Lender assignor or any other
DIP Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as Administrative Agent
on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated
to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereto, together with such powers as
are reasonably incidental hereof; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will
perform in accordance with their terms all obligations that by the terms of this
Agreement are required to be performed by it as a DIP Lender.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its office a copy of
each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the DIP Lenders and the Tranche A
Commitment or Tranche B Credit-Linked Deposit Amount, as the case may be of, and
principal amount of the Loans owing to, each DIP Lender from time to time (the
"Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of
manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the DIP
Lenders shall treat each Person the name of which is recorded in the Register as
a DIP Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be
available for inspection by any Loan Party or any DIP Lender at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning DIP Lender and the assignee thereunder together with the fee payable
in respect thereto, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and
Acceptance has been completed with blanks appropriately filled and consented to
by the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Bank (to the extent such consent is
required hereunder), (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the
information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt written
notice thereof to the Borrowers (together with a copy thereof). No assignment
shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in
the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(f) Any DIP Lender may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section
10.03, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant, any information relating to any Loan Party furnished to such DIP
Lender by or on behalf of any Loan Party; provided that prior to any such
disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of Section
10.04.
(g) Each Loan Party hereby agrees to actively assist and cooperate with
the Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent's efforts to sell
participations herein
98
(as described in Section 10.03(a)) and assign to one or more DIP Lenders or
Eligible Assignees a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement (as set forth in Section 10.03(b)).
Section 10.04. Confidentiality. No Agent or DIP Lender shall use the
Confidential Information in violation of any applicable law. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent any Agent or any DIP Lender from
disclosing such information (a) to any officer, director, employee, agent, or
advisor of such Agent or any of its Affiliates, or such DIP Lender or any of its
Affiliates, to the extent such disclosure is necessary to permit such officer,
director, employee, agent, or advisor to fulfill their duties with respect to
the Obligations, (b) as required by any applicable law or any subpoena or
similar process, (c) upon the order of any Governmental Authority, (d) upon the
request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such
Agent or such DIP Lender, (e) that is or becomes available to the public or that
is or becomes available to such Agent or DIP Lender as a result of a disclosure
by a Person not otherwise bound by this Agreement, (f) in connection with any
litigation to which such Agent or any of its Affiliates, or such DIP Lender or
any of its Affiliates may be a party, (g) in connection with the exercise of any
remedy under the Loan Documents, (h) to any actual or proposed assignee, so long
as such proposed assignee executes a confidentiality agreement, (i) any direct
or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such
contractual counterparty's or prospective counterparty's professional advisor)
to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Loan
Parties; (j) with the consent of the Loan Parties; (k) to the extent such

Agent or any of the DIP Lenders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any
right, power or remedy hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
Section 10.09. Extension of Maturity. Should any payment of principal
of or interest or any other amount due hereunder become due and payable on a day

Section 10.10. Amendments, etc.
(a) No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or the Amended and Restated Security and Pledge Agreement and no
consent
100
to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Loan Parties and the
Required DIP Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the purpose for which given; provided, however,
that (1) no such modification or amendment shall, without the written consent of
the DIP Lender affected thereby (x) increase the Tranche A Commitment of a DIP
Lender or the Tranche B Credit-Linked Deposit Amount with respect to any DIP
Lender, or (y) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or any Reimbursement
Obligation or the rate of interest payable thereon, or reduce the Tranche B
Fixed Return Rate or the amount payable to a DIP Lender pursuant to Section
2.02(e) or extend any date for the payment of interest hereunder or reduce any
Fees payable hereunder or extend the final maturity of any Borrower's
obligations hereunder or (z) release any amount on deposit in the Tranche B
Credit-Linked Account of a DIP Lender (other than pursuant to Section 2.02(c));
(2) any waiver of compliance with the reporting requirements set forth in
Section 5.01(k), 5.01(l), 5.01(m), 5.01(n), 5.01(o) and 5.01(p) or any Event of
Default arising solely from non-compliance therewith shall be binding on all the
DIP Lenders if consented to by the Co-Lead Arrangers, (3) no such modification
or amendment shall, without the written consent of (A) all of the DIP Lenders
(i) amend or modify any provision of this Agreement that provides for the
unanimous consent or approval of the DIP Lenders, (ii) change the percentage set
forth in the definition of Required DIP Lenders or Super-Majority DIP Lenders or
any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of
DIP Lenders required to take any action thereunder or (iii) amend or modify the

the rank of the Liens for the benefit of the Agents, the Fronting Banks and the
DIP Lenders contemplated thereby, (B) the Super-Majority DIP Lenders (as
hereinafter defined), release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all
or substantially all of the Guarantors, or (C) all of the Initial DIP Lenders,
change any provision set forth in the definition of Initial Majority DIP
Lenders, (4) no such modification or amendment shall, without the written
consent of the Initial Majority DIP Lenders, modify, amend or waive any
provision that expressly requires the consent or approval of the Initial
Majority DIP Lenders so as to amend, modify or waive the requirement of such
consent or approval and (5) no such modification or amendment shall, without the
written consent of Tranche B DIP Lenders representing in excess of 50% of the
Tranche B Credit-Linked Deposit Amounts, amend Section 2.02 (or any provision or
definition referred to therein) to the extent it affects the Tranche B DIP
Lenders. No such amendment or modification may adversely affect the rights and
obligations of any Agent or any Fronting Bank hereunder without its prior
written consent. Each assignee under Section 10.03(b) shall be bound by any
amendment, modification, waiver, or consent authorized as provided herein, and
any consent by a DIP Lender shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring an
interest on the Loans held by such DIP Lender.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section
10.10(a), in the event that the Borrowers request that this Agreement be
modified or amended in a manner that would require the unanimous consent of all
of the DIP Lenders (or the
101
consent described in clause (B) of the first sentence of Section 10.10(a)) and
such modification or amendment is agreed to by the Super-Majority DIP Lenders
(as hereinafter defined), then with the consent of the Borrowers and the
Super-Majority DIP Lenders, the Borrowers and the Super-Majority DIP Lenders
shall be permitted to amend the Agreement without the consent of the DIP Lender
or DIP Lenders that did not agree to the modification or amendment requested by
the Borrowers (such DIP Lender or DIP Lenders, collectively the "Minority DIP
Lenders") to provide for (w) the termination of the Commitment of each of the
Minority DIP Lenders, (x) the addition to this Agreement of one or more other
financial institutions (each of which shall be an Eligible Assignee), or an
increase in the Commitment of one or more of the Super-Majority DIP Lenders
(with the written consent thereof), so that the Total Commitment after giving
effect to such amendment shall be in the same amount as the Total Commitment
immediately before giving effect to such amendment, (y) if any Loans are
outstanding at the time of such amendment, the making of such additional Loans
by such new financial institutions or Super-Majority DIP Lender or DIP Lenders,
as the case may be, as may be necessary to repay in full the outstanding Loans
of the Minority DIP Lenders immediately before giving effect to such amendment
and (z) such other modifications to this Agreement as may be appropriate. As
used herein, the term "Super-Majority DIP Lenders" shall mean, at any time, DIP
Lenders holding Loans representing at least 66-2/3% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Loans outstanding, or if no Loans are outstanding, DIP Lenders
having Commitments representing at least 66-2/3% of the Total Commitment.
(c) Prior to the later of (i) August 26, 2002, and (ii) 7 Business Days
after the date on which the Final Order is entered, the Co-Lead Arrangers, JPMCB
and CUSA shall be entitled, after consultation with the Parent and the Borrowers
and disclosure to the Bankruptcy Court, to change the amount of the Total
Commitment (other than increase the Total Commitments to an amount in excess of
$1,500,000,000), the pricing, structure (including without limitation collateral
and guarantee arrangements) or terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents if they determine that such changes are necessary or advisable in
order to ensure the completion of the syndication of the credit facility
hereunder in a manner satisfactory to them. Each Loan Party agrees that it shall
enter into any amendments or modifications of any Loan Document, or any
additional documents, as may be necessary or desirable in order to effect the
foregoing changes.
Section 10.11. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 10.12. Headings. Section headings used herein are for
convenience only and are not to affect the construction of or be taken into
consideration in interpreting this Agreement.
102
Section 10.13. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
Section 10.14. Further Assurances. Whenever and so often as reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, each Loan Party
will promptly execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all such
other and further instruments, documents or assurances, and promptly do or cause
to be done all such other and further things as may be necessary and reasonably
required in order to further and more fully vest in the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent all rights, interests, powers, benefits, privileges and
advantages conferred or intended to be conferred by this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents.
Section 10.15. Prior Agreements. This Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and the Orders represent the entire agreement of the parties with
regard to the subject matter hereof and thereof. The terms of any letters and
other documentation entered into between any Loan Party and any DIP Lender or
any Agent prior to the execution of this Agreement which relate to any Loans to
be made hereunder shall be replaced by the terms of this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents and the Orders except for: (i) that certain letter dated June 25,
2002 among each of certain Loan Parties, JPMCB, CUSA, JPMSI and SSB, (ii) the
Engagement Letter dated as of June 19, 2002 among each of certain Loan Parties,
JPMCB, CUSA, JPMSI and SSB.
Section 10.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH LOAN PARTY, EACH AGENT, EACH
FRONTING BANK AND EACH DIP LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.
