Eurodollar Auction or (ii) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case
of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case upon reasonable prior notice to the Revolving
Credit Lenders, such other time and date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree),
the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or rejection of the offers
received by it pursuant to Section 2.3.4 or so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.3.5;
provided, however, that the failure by the Borrower to give such notice to the
Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be a rejection of all such offers. In the case of
acceptance, such notice (a “Competitive Bid Borrowing Notice”) shall specify the aggregate
principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted and (if the Administrative
Agent is not the Competitive Bid Agent) shall include copies of each Competitive Bid Quote that is
accepted. The Borrower may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part (subject to the
terms of Section 2.3.4(b)(iv) and (vi)); provided that:
(i) the aggregate principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance may not exceed (but,
within the limitations set forth in Section 2.3.2(ii), may be less than) the applicable
amount set forth in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request;
(ii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending Eurodollar Bid
Rates or Absolute Rates, as the case may be; and
(iii) the Borrower may not accept any offer that is described in Section 2.3.4(c) or
that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement.
2.3.7. Allocation by Competitive Bid Agent. If offers are made by two or more
Revolving Credit Lenders with the same Eurodollar Bid Rates or Absolute Rates, as the case may be,
for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which offers are accepted
for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of which
such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Competitive Bid Agent among such Revolving
Credit Lenders as nearly as possible (in such multiples, not greater than $1,000,000, as the
Competitive Bid Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such
offers; provided, however, that no Revolving Credit Lender shall be allocated a
portion of any Competitive Bid Advance which is less than the minimum amount which such Revolving
Credit Lender has stated in its applicable Competitive Bid Quote that it is willing to accept.
Allocations by the Competitive Bid Agent of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall promptly, but in any
event on the same Business Day, notify each Revolving Credit Lender of its receipt of a Competitive
Bid Borrowing Notice and the aggregate principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance allocated
to each participating Revolving Credit Lender.
2.3.8. Limitations. Competitive Bid Advances shall be subject to the applicable
limitations contained in the last sentence of Section 2.5.
2.3.9. Administration Fee. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent an administration fee, in the amount set forth in the Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter, for
each Competitive Bid Quote Request transmitted by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 2.3.2. Such administration fee shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date
hereafter and on the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment shall terminate or be canceled) for any period then ending
for which such fee, if any, shall not have been theretofore paid.
2.3.10. Revolving Credit Declining Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, (a) a Revolving Credit Declining Lender shall not be entitled to receive an
Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes inviting an offer for, and shall not offer to make and shall
not make, a Competitive Bid Loan for a Competitive Bid Interest Period that expires later than its
Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date and (b) the Borrower may not request a
Competitive Bid Advance for a Competitive Bid Interest Period expiring later than any Revolving
Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date if, following the making of such Competitive Bid
Advance, the aggregate amount of all Competitive Bid Advances for Competitive Bid Interest Periods
expiring later than such
Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date would exceed the amount to which the
Competitive Bid Sublimit will be reduced upon such Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination
Date.
29
2.4. Undrawn Fee; Reductions in Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment.
(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving
Credit Lender an undrawn commitment fee (“Undrawn Fee”) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable
Fee Rate on such Revolving Credit Lender’s average daily Aggregate Available Revolving Credit from
the date hereof to and including the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, payable in arrears
on the first day of each calendar quarter hereafter and on the Revolving Credit Facility
Termination Date (or such earlier date as the Revolving Credit Obligations may be accelerated or
become due). For the avoidance of doubt, Swing Line Advances and Competitive Bid Advances shall
not be considered usage under the Revolving Credit Facility for purposes of the Undrawn Fee.
(b) The Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment in whole, or
in part ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders (in their respective Revolving Credit Ratable
Shares) in integral multiples of $10,000,000, upon at least five Business Days’ written notice to
the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction,
provided, however, that (i) the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment
may not be reduced below the sum of (A) aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Revolving
Credit Advances and (B) the Facility Letter of Credit Obligations and (ii) the amount of the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment may not be reduced to an amount that is less than twice the
outstanding amount of all outstanding Competitive Bid Advances.
(c) All accrued Undrawn Fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the
obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans hereunder.
2.5. Minimum Amount of Each Revolving Credit Advance; Maximum Number of Revolving Credit
Advances. Each Eurodollar Ratable Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in
multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof), and each Floating Rate Advance shall be in the
minimum amount of $1,000,000 (and in multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof),
provided, however, that any Floating Rate Advance under the Revolving Credit
Facility may be in the amount of the Aggregate Available Revolving Credit or in the amount
necessary to repay a Swing Line Advance. Each Competitive Bid Advance shall be in the minimum
amount provided for in Section 2.3. There shall be no more than ten (10) Fixed Rate Advances
outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility (in the aggregate) at any time.
2.6. Optional Principal Payments. The Borrower may from time to time pay, without
penalty or premium, all outstanding Floating Rate Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility, or,
in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof, any portion of the outstanding Floating Rate Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility
upon one Business Day’s prior notice to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may from time to
time pay, upon three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, subject to the
payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or
premium, (i) all of a Eurodollar Ratable Advance under the Revolving Credit Facility, or (ii) in a
minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (and
provided such payment would not reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Eurodollar
Ratable Advance under the Revolving Credit Facility to less than $5,000,000) any portion of a
Eurodollar Ratable Advance under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Borrower may from time to time
pay, prior to the last day of the applicable Competitive Bid Interest Period, upon three Business
Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, all (but not less than all) of any Competitive Bid
Loan having an initial Competitive Bid Interest Period of 90 days or longer and, with the approval
of the Revolving Credit Lender holding such Competitive Bid Loan, any other Competitive Bid Loan,
subject, in any case, to payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 but
without penalty or premium.
2.7. Funding. Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Closing Date, each
Lender shall make available its Loans in funds immediately available in New York to the
Administration Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV. Not later than or 1:00 p.m.
(New York time) on any other Borrowing Date, each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender which
shall make Swing Line Advances as provided in Section 2.19(c)) shall make available its Loan or
Loans in funds immediately available in New York to the Administrative Agent at its
address specified pursuant to Article XIV. The Administrative Agent will make the funds so
received from the applicable Lenders available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s
aforesaid address.
30
2.8. Changes in Interest Rate, Etc. Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest on
the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Revolving
Credit Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Fixed Rate Advance into a Floating Rate
Advance pursuant to Section 2.2.4, to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a
Fixed Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.2.4 or to a Floating Rate Advance of the other Type, at a
rate per annum equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate for such day (in the case of ABR Advances) or
(ii) the Federal Funds/Euro-Rate for such day (in the case of Federal Funds/Euro-Rate Advances).
Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Revolving Credit Advance maintained as a
Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the applicable Floating
Rate. Each Fixed Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from
and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the
last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate applicable to such Fixed Rate Advance. No
Interest Period may end after the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date or after the Revolving
Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date of any Revolving Credit Declining Lender.
2.9. Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 2.2 or 2.3, during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default (except
for (a) Unmatured Defaults that will be cured, and that the Borrower certifies will be cured, by
the use of the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Advance that the Borrower has requested hereunder or
by the issuance, amendment or extension of a Facility Letter of Credit that the Borrower has
requested hereunder or (b) Unmatured Defaults (other than the failure to pay any Obligation
hereunder) that are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and that the Borrower
certifies that it reasonably expects to cure before the date on which the same becomes a Default)
the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked
at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.2 requiring
unanimous consent of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility to changes in interest rates
under the Revolving Credit Facility), declare that no Revolving Credit Advance may be made as,
converted into or continued (after the then applicable Interest Period therefor) as a Fixed Rate
Advance. During the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice
to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding
any provision of Section 9.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit
Facility to changes in interest rates under the Revolving Credit Facility), declare that (i) each
Fixed Rate Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the
rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum and (ii) each Floating Rate
Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Floating Rate in effect
from time to time plus 2% per annum, provided that, during the continuance of a Default
under Section 8.5 or 8.6, the interest rates set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be
applicable to all Revolving Credit Advances without any election or action on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender.
2.10. Method and Allocation of Payments.
(a) All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or
counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative
Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIV, or at any other Lending Installation of the
Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by 1:00 p.m.
(New York time) on the date when due. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the
account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the
same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to
Article XIV or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative
Agent from such Lender. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the
Borrower maintained with Citibank for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes
due hereunder.
31
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(d), payments of principal and interest on
Revolving Credit Ratable Advances received by Administrative Agent shall be allocated among the
Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility based on their pro rata shares of such Revolving Credit
Ratable Advances. Payments of principal and interest on Swing Line Advances received by the
Administrative Agent shall be paid solely to the Swing Line Lender. Except as otherwise provided
in Section 2.10(d), payments of principal on any Competitive Bid Advance received by the
Administrative Agent shall be paid, on a pro rata basis, to the Revolving Credit Lender or
Revolving
Credit Lenders holding the Competitive Bid Loan or Loans comprising such Revolving Credit
Advance and payments of interest on such Competitive Bid Advance received by the Administrative
Agent shall be allocated to the Revolving Credit Lender or Revolving Credit Lenders that funded
such Revolving Credit Advance, pro rata based on the amount of interest due each such Revolving
Credit Lender on its outstanding principal (it being acknowledged that the rate of interest payable
to Revolving Credit Lenders on the Competitive Bid Loans may differ). Except as provided in
Section 2.10(d), payments made by the Borrower shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Advances or
interest thereon (or both, as applicable) designated by the Borrower.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.10(b), if each of the conditions listed in
Clauses (A) through (C) below exists on the date on which a payment on any Revolving Credit Loan is
made then such payment shall be allocated on a pro-rata basis between the holders of the
Competitive Bid Loans and holders of the Revolving Credit Ratable Loans based upon the respective
amounts of such Competitive Bid Loans and Revolving Credit Ratable Loans outstanding if it is a
payment of principal and shall be allocated on a pro rata basis between holders of the Competitive
Bid Loans and holders of the Revolving Credit Ratable Loans based on the amount of interest due to
such holders if it is a payment of interest: (A) a Default exists and is continuing and has not
been waived, (B) the Revolving Credit Loans have been accelerated or otherwise shall have become
due, and (C) the fractional share of one or more of the Revolving Credit Lenders in the total
amount of all outstanding Competitive Bid Loans does not equal its Revolving Credit Ratable Share.
(e) If the Administrative Agent receives payments on any Business Day of any amounts payable
to any Lender hereunder and fails to pay such amount to such Lender (i) on or before the close of
business on such day if such payment was received by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day or (ii)
on or before the next succeeding Business Day if such payment was received after 1:00 p.m. (New
York time) on such day of receipt, the Administrative Agent shall pay to such Lender interest on
such unpaid amount at the Federal Funds Effective Rate until such amount is so paid to such Lender.
2.11. Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such
Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such
Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the
amount of each Loan made hereunder and the Rate Option and Interest Period with respect thereto,
(ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.11 (a) and (b)
above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein
recorded; provided however that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation
of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.
(d) Any Lender may request that its Revolving Credit Ratable Loans be evidenced by a Revolving
Credit Note and that its Competitive Bid Loans be evidenced by a Competitive Bid Note. In such
event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender the applicable Note or Notes
payable to the order of such Lender in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter,
the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any
assignment pursuant to Section 13.3) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of
the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 13.3, except to the extent that any
such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such
Loans once again be evidenced as described in Sections 2.11(a) and (b) above.
32
2.12. Telephonic Notices. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Revolving Credit Advances, effect selections of
Rate Options and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be an Authorized Officer acting on
behalf of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a
written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in
any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.
2.13. Interest Payment Dates: Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each
Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on the first date of each calendar month, commencing with
the first such date to occur after the date hereof. Interest accrued on each Fixed Rate Advance
shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Fixed
Rate Advance is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest
accrued on each Fixed Rate Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be
payable on the first day of each calendar quarter during such Interest Period. Interest and fees
under this Agreement shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year
except that interest on Floating Rate Advances and Absolute Rate Advances shall be calculated for
actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-day (or, if applicable, 366-day) year. Interest shall be
payable for the day a Revolving Credit Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the
amount paid if payment is received prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at the place of payment. If
any payment of principal of or interest on a Revolving Credit Advance shall become due on a day
which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in
the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in
connection with such payment.
2.14. Notification of Revolving Credit Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Revolving
Credit Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, (a) the Administrative Agent
will notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitment reduction notice and Competitive Bid Borrowing Notice (except as otherwise provided in
Section 2.3.10), and (b) the Administrative Lender shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of
each Ratable Borrowing Notice, Rate Option Notice and repayment notice received by the
Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility. The Administrative Agent will
notify each Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility of the interest rate applicable to each
Eurodollar Ratable Advance under the Revolving Credit Facility promptly upon determination of such
interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.
2.15. Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans under the Revolving
Credit Facility at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending
Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending
Installation and the applicable Loans and Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each
Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article XIV, designate replacement or
additional Lending Installations through which Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility will be
made by it and for whose account Loan payments under the Revolving Credit Facility are to be made.
2.16. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower or a
Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date, or time of day in
the case of same-day borrowings, on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative
Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a
payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of any of the
Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the
amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If
such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the
Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent,
repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in
respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by
the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per
annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such
day or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant
Loan.
33
2.17. Extension of Revolving Credit Facility Termination Dates. The Borrower may
request, but not more than once in each fiscal year of the Borrower and on no more than three
occasions in the aggregate after the Closing Date, an extension of the Revolving Credit Facility
Termination Date by submitting a request for an extension to the Administrative Agent (an
“Extension Request”). The Extension Request must specify the new Revolving Credit Facility
Termination Date requested by the Borrower with respect thereto (“Extension Date”), which shall be
not more than four years after the date of the Extension Request. The Extension Request shall be
accompanied by a certificate, signed by the chief financial officer, controller or chief accounting
officer of the Borrower, stating that on the date of the Extension Request, no Default or Unmatured
Default has occurred and is continuing and that all of the representations and warranties in
Article VI are true and correct in all material respects (except (i) to the extent any such
representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such
representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of
such earlier date and (ii) to the extent already qualified by materiality, in which case said
representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects). On the Extension Date, the
Borrower shall deliver a certificate, signed by the chief financial officer, controller or chief
accounting officer of the Borrower, stating that on the Extension Date, no Default or Unmatured
Default has occurred and is continuing and that all of the representations and warranties in
Article VI are true and correct in all material respects (except (i) to the extent any such
representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such
representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of
such earlier date and (ii) to the extent already qualified by materiality, in which case said
representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects). Promptly upon receipt of an
Extension Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender under the Revolving Credit
Facility of the contents thereof and shall request each Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility
to approve the Extension Request (which approval may be given or withheld by each Lender in its
sole discretion). If an Extension Request requests an extension of the Revolving Credit Facility
Termination Date, a Lender may, at its election, approve or deny an extension of the Revolving
Credit Facility Termination Date (it being understood that no Lender shall be under any obligation
to approve an extension of the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date). Each Lender approving
an Extension Request shall deliver its written approval no later than 75 days following such
Extension Request. If written approval of the Required Lenders is not received by the
Administrative Agent within such 75-day period, the Extension Request shall be denied. If such
written approval of the Required Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility is received by the
Administrative Agent within such 75-day period, the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date
under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be extended to the Extension Date specified in the
Extension Request but only with respect to the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility that
have given such written approval. Except to the extent that a Lender that did not give its written
approval to such Extension Request under the Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolving Credit Declining
Lender”) is replaced prior to its Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date as provided
in Section 2.20, then (a) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment shall be decreased by the
Revolving Credit Commitment of each such Revolving Credit Declining Lender, which Revolving Credit
Declining Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Facility
Termination Date, as determined prior to such Extension Request (the “Revolving Credit Declining
Lender’s Termination Date”) and (b) the Loans and all interest, fees and other amounts owed to such
Revolving Credit Declining Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to which it is a
Revolving Credit Declining Lender shall be paid in full on each such Revolving Credit Declining
Lender’s Termination Date.
2.18. Facility Increase.
(a) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, by notice to the Administrative
Agent, request an increase (“Facility Increase”) in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment
(within the limitations herein provided), which notice shall set forth the amount of such requested
Facility Increase. The Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment may be so increased either by having
one or more New Revolving Credit Lenders become Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and/or
by having any one or more of the then existing Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility (at
their respective election in their sole discretion) that have been approved by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and each of the Arrangers (such approvals by the Administrative Agent and each
of the Arrangers not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), increase the amount of their
Revolving Credit Commitments, provided that (i) each Facility Increase shall be in an
amount not less than $5,000,000, (ii) after giving effect to the Facility Increase, the Aggregate
Revolving Credit Facility Commitment shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Facility
Limit, (iii) no Unmatured Event of Default or Default exists or would exist after giving effect to
the Facility Increase, (iv) all financial covenants set forth in Section 7.28 would be satisfied
on a pro
forma basis for the most recent determination period, after giving effect to such Facility
Increase as if it occurred on the last day of such determination period (and assuming such Facility
Increase is fully borrowed) and (v) any Facility Increase shall be on the terms and pursuant to the
documentation applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility.
34
(b) As a condition to a Facility Increase, (i) the Borrower and each Additional Lender shall
have executed and delivered a commitment and acceptance (the “Commitment and Acceptance”)
substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto and the Administrative Agent shall have
accepted and executed the same; (ii) if requested by an Additional Lender, the Borrower shall have
executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent the applicable Note payable to the order of such
Additional Lender; (iii) the Guarantors shall have consented in writing to the Facility Increase
and shall have agreed that their Guaranty Agreements continue in full force and effect; (iv) the
Borrower and each Additional Lender shall otherwise have executed and delivered such other
instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested in connection
with such Facility Increase; and (v) if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall
have delivered to the Administrative Agent opinions of counsel (substantially similar to the forms
of opinions provided for in Section 5.1 (viii), modified to apply to the Facility Increase and to
each Note, Commitment and Acceptance, and other documents executed and delivered in connection with
such Facility Increase). The form and substance of the documents required under clauses (i)
through (v) above shall be fully acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly provide written notice to all of the Lenders hereunder of the Facility Increase.
(c) Upon the effective date of any Facility Increase pursuant to the provisions hereof (the
“Increase Date”), which Increase Date shall be mutually agreed upon by the Borrower, each
applicable Additional Lender and the Administrative Agent, then: (A) such Additional Lender under
the Revolving Credit Facility shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and
received, without recourse or warranty, from the Revolving Credit Lenders party to this Agreement
immediately prior to the Increase Date, an undivided interest and participation in any Facility
Letter of Credit then outstanding, ratably, such that each Revolving Credit Lender (including each
Additional Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility) holds a participation interest in each such
Facility Letter of Credit in the amount of its then Revolving Credit Ratable Share thereof; (B) on
such Increase Date, the Borrower shall repay all outstanding Floating Rate Advances under the
Revolving Credit Facility and reborrow a Floating Rate Advance in a like amount from the Revolving
Credit Lenders (including each Additional Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility); (C) except
as provided in clause (D), such Additional Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility shall not
participate in any then outstanding Eurodollar Ratable Advances under the Revolving Credit
Facility; (D) if the Borrower shall at any time on or after such Increase Date convert or continue
any Eurodollar Ratable Advance that was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility on such
Increase Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to repay such Eurodollar Ratable Advance on the date of
the conversion or continuation thereof and then to reborrow as a Revolving Credit Ratable Advance a
like amount on such date so that the Additional Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility shall
make a Revolving Credit Ratable Loan on such date; and (E) such Additional Lender under the
Revolving Credit Facility shall make its Revolving Credit Ratable Share of all Revolving Credit
Ratable Advances made on or after such Increase Date (including those referred to in clauses (B)
and (D) above) and shall otherwise have all of the rights and obligations of a Revolving Credit
Lender hereunder on and after such Increase Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the
occurrence of a Default prior to the date on which such Additional Lender is holding Eurodollar
Ratable Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility equal to its Revolving Credit Ratable Share of
all Eurodollar Ratable Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility, such Additional Lender shall,
upon notice from the Administrative Agent, on or after the date on which the Obligations are
accelerated or become due following such Default, pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account
of the other Revolving Credit Lenders, to which the Administrative Agent shall pay their Revolving
Credit Ratable Shares thereof upon receipt) a sum equal to such Additional Lender’s Revolving
Credit Ratable Share of each Eurodollar Ratable Advance then outstanding under the Revolving Credit
Facility with respect to which such Additional Lender does not then hold a Eurodollar Ratable Loan
equal to its Revolving Credit Ratable Share thereof; such payment by such Additional Lender shall
constitute an ABR Loan hereunder.
(d) Solely for purposes of clause (i) of the definition of “Required Lenders”, until such time
as an Additional Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility holds Revolving Credit Ratable Loans
equaling its Revolving Credit Ratable Share of all outstanding Revolving Credit Ratable Advances,
the amount of such Additional Lender’s new Revolving Credit Commitment or the increased amount of
its Revolving Credit Commitment (as applicable) shall be excluded from the amount of the Revolving
Credit Commitments and there shall be included in lieu thereof
at any time an amount equal to the sum of the outstanding Revolving Credit Ratable Loans and
the participation interests in Facility Letters of Credit held by such Additional Lender with
respect to its new Revolving Credit Commitment or the increased amount of its Revolving Credit
Commitment.
35
(e) Nothing contained herein shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment or
agreement on the part of any Lender to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder at any
time or a commitment or agreement on the part of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to give
or grant any Lender the right to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder at any time.
2.19. Swing Line.
(a) The Swing Line Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make
advances (“Swing Line Advances”) to the Borrower from time to time during the period from the date
of this Agreement, up to but not including the fifth (5th) day prior to the Revolving Credit
Facility Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding
the lesser of (i) the Swing Line Commitment or (ii) the Aggregate Available Revolving Credit. For
the avoidance of doubt, Swing Line Advances will reduce availability under the Revolving Credit
Facility, but shall not be deemed usage for purposes of calculating the Undrawn Fee.
(b) The Swing Line Advances shall be evidenced by the Swing Line Note. Each Swing Line
Advance shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and, if in excess
thereof, in integral multiples of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). Within the limits set forth in
Section 2.19(a), the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 2.19.
(c) The Borrower shall give the Swing Line Lender (and, if the Swing Line Lender is not also
the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent) notice requesting a Swing Line Advance (“Swing
Line Borrowing Notice”) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day of such Swing
Line Advance, specifying the amount of such requested Swing Line Advance. Each such Swing Line
Borrowing Notice shall be accompanied by the Ratable Borrowing Notice provided for in Section
2.19(d). All Swing Line Borrowing Notices and Ratable Borrowing Notices given by the Borrower
under this Section 2.19(c) shall be irrevocable. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions
set forth in Section 5.2, the Swing Line Lender will make the Swing Line Advance available to the
Borrower in immediately available funds by crediting the amount thereof to the Borrower’s account
with the Swing Line Lender. If the Swing Line Lender is not also the Administrative Agent, the
Swing Line Lender shall not advance the Swing Line Advance unless and until the Administrative
Agent shall have confirmed (by telephonic notice) that such applicable conditions have been
satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.19 or elsewhere in
this Agreement, the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Advance at a
time when a Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(d) Each Swing Line Advance shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate and shall be paid
in full on or before the third Business Day following the making of such Swing Line Loan and, if
not so paid by the Borrower, shall be paid in full from the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Ratable
Advance made by the Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to Section 2.2 on the third Business Day
following the making of such Swing Line Advance. Each Swing Line Borrowing Notice given by the
Borrower under Section 2.19(c) shall include, or if it does not include shall be deemed to include,
an irrevocable Ratable Borrowing Notice under Section 2.2 requesting the Revolving Credit Lenders
to make a Ratable Revolving Credit Advance, on or before the third Business Day following the
making of such Swing Line Advance, of the full amount of such Swing Line Advance, unless such Swing
Line Advance is sooner paid in full by the Borrower.
(e) Provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.2 shall have been satisfied
at the time of the making of such Swing Line Advance, the Revolving Credit Lenders irrevocably
agree to make the Revolving Credit Ratable Advance provided for in Section 2.19(d), notwithstanding
any subsequent failure to satisfy such conditions or any other facts or circumstances including
(without limitation) the existence of a Default. If and to the extent that any Revolving Credit
Lender shall fail to make a Revolving Credit Ratable Loan in the amount of its Revolving Credit
Ratable Share of such Revolving Credit Ratable Advance, such Revolving Credit Lender shall be
irrevocably deemed to have purchased from the Swing Line Lender a participation interest in such
Swing Line Advance in an amount equal to the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit
Ratable Share of such Revolving Credit Ratable Advance and shall promptly pay such amount to the
Swing Line Lender.
36
2.20. Replacement of a Lender. If a Lender (“Affected Lender”) (a) sustains or incurs
a loss or expense or reduction of income and requests reimbursement therefor from the Borrower
pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5, (b) determines that maintenance of any of its Fixed Rate
Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable Law and so notifies the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.3, (c) is a Revolving Credit Declining Lender, or (d) is
a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may within ninety (90) days after the date on which the Borrower
receives such request (in the case of clause (a) above) or after the date on which the
Administrative Agent gives the Borrower notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the notice
from such Lender under Section 3.3 (in the case of clause (b) above) or at any time prior to such
Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date (in the case of clause (c) above) or after it
is reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent has notified the
Borrower, that such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (in the case of clause (d) above) (and such
Lender has not ceased to be a Defaulting Lender) notify the Administrative Agent and such Affected
Lender that a Replacement Lender designated by the Borrower in the notice has agreed to replace
such Lender with respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans,
provided that (i) any Replacement Lender shall be subject to the approval of the
Administrative Agent and each Arranger (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed); (ii) any Replacement Lender shall not constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such
replacement; (iii) any assignment to a Replacement Lender shall be subject to Section 13.3; and
(iv) the Borrower shall have paid any amounts due pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 to the
Affected Lender to be replaced on or before such replacement. The Affected Lender to be replaced
shall assign, as applicable, its Revolving Credit Commitment, Loans and interests in outstanding
Facility Letters of Credit hereunder to the Replacement Lender pursuant to the procedures for
assignments contained in Section 13.3 and shall receive, concurrently with such assignments,
payment of an amount equal to all outstanding amounts payable to such Affected Lender with respect
to the Revolving Credit Facility, including without limitation the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Loans held by such Affected Lender, all interest thereon to the date of the
assignment, all accrued fees to the date of such assignment and any amounts payable under Section
3.4 with respect to any payment of any Fixed Rate Loan resulting from such assignment. Such
Affected Lender shall not be responsible for the payment to the Administrative Agent of the fee
provided for in Section 13.3.2, which fee shall be paid by such Replacement Lender. In the case of
an assignment by a Revolving Credit Declining Lender under this Section 2.20, the Replacement
Lender that is the assignee of the Revolving Credit Declining Lender shall agree at the time of
such assignment to the extension to the Extension Date of the Revolving Credit Facility Termination
Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, which agreement shall be set forth in a written
instrument delivered and satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
2.21. Termination of Revolving Credit Commitment of Revolving Credit Declining Lender.
At any time prior to the replacement of a Revolving Credit Declining Lender pursuant to Section
2.20, the Borrower may, upon not less than 15 days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent and
such Revolving Credit Declining Lender, terminate the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving
Credit Declining Lender, as of a Business Day (prior to the Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s
Termination Date) set forth in such notice; provided, however, that if such
Revolving Credit Declining Lender is an Issuing Bank, the termination of its Revolving Credit
Commitment shall be permitted only upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 4.10.
In the event of such termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent on the date of termination of such Revolving Credit Commitment, for the
account of such Revolving Credit Declining Lender, all Loans and other sums payable to such
Revolving Credit Declining Lender hereunder under the Revolving Credit Facility and all amounts (if
any) payable to such Revolving Credit Declining Lender under Section 3.4 under the Revolving Credit
Facility by reason of such payment. Such Revolving Credit Declining Lender shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 4.6, 4.9 and 10.6(b) to the extent such
Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s entitlement to such benefit arose out of its position as a
Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility prior to the termination of its Revolving Credit
Commitment.
37
2.22. Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitment, Etc. If a Lender becomes, and
during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with
respect to any Facility Letter of Credit
participation obligations pursuant to Section 4.6 and Swing Line Advance participation
obligations pursuant to Section 2.19 of such Defaulting Lender:
(i) the Facility Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting
Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be
reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the
Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit
Commitments; provided that (a) the Revolving Credit Exposure (after giving effect to
such reallocation) of each Non-Defaulting Lender may not in any event exceed the Revolving
Credit Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such
reallocation and (b) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender
pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Lender or any other Lender may have
against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting
Lender; and
(ii) to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting
Lender’s Facility Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Exposure cannot be so
reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the
Borrower will, not later than two Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at
the direction of any Issuing Bank and/or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be), cash
collateralize the Facility Letter of Credit Exposure and the Swing Line Exposure of such
Defaulting Lender in an amount equal to the unreallocated portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s Facility Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Exposure (or in the case of such
Swing Line Exposure, prepay in full the unreallocated portion of the Swing Line Exposure of
such Defaulting Lender).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, then prior to any
reallocation pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(i) above, the Borrower shall be required to cash
collateralize the Facility Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting
Lender and such reallocation shall only occur if the Borrower fails to cash collateralize the
Facility Letter of Credit Exposure and Swing Line Exposure of such Defaulting Lender within five
Business Days after written demand to do so by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of any
Issuing Bank and/or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be).
(b) Fees.
(i) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any Undrawn Fee accruing during
such period pursuant to Section 2.4 and the Borrower shall no longer be required to pay the portion
of the Undrawn Fee accruing during such period that would have been payable to such Defaulting
Lender.
(ii) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any Facility Letter of Credit
Fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 4.7(a); provided that (x) to the
extent that all or a portion of the Facility Letter of Credit Exposure of a Defaulting Lender is
reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(i), such fees that would have
accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be
payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving
Credit Commitments, and (y) to the extent any portion of such Facility Letter of Credit Exposure
cannot be so reallocated, such Facility Letter of Credit Fees will instead accrue for the benefit
of and be payable to the Issuing Banks based on their pro rata share of the undrawn face amount of
Facility Letters of Credit outstanding; provided that if at any time and so long as the
Borrower shall have cash collateralized Facility Letter of Credit Exposure of a Defaulting Lender
as required pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(ii), then the Borrower shall no longer be required to pay
Facility Letter of Credit Fees in respect of such cash collateralized amounts in respect of the
Facility Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender.
38
(c) Termination of Defaulting Lender Commitment. So long as no Default or Unmatured
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the
Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three Business Days’ prior
notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof);
provided that (i) prior to any such termination, the Borrower shall have repaid
in full all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances (without any reduction of the Revolving
Credit Commitments) and all accrued but unpaid interest and fees hereunder owing to all Lenders and
(ii) such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Lender or any Lender may have against such
Defaulting Lender; provided further that in the case of the termination of a
Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, if such Defaulting Lender is an Issuing Bank with
one or more outstanding Facility Letters of Credit, then the Borrower shall be required to fully
cash collateralize such Facility Letters of Credit.
(d) Reallocation of Payments. If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains,
a Defaulting Lender, except in connection with a termination of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving
Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.22(c) above, any amount paid by the Borrower for the
account of such Defaulting Lender (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity
payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will
instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest-bearing account until
(subject to Section 2.22(e)) the earlier of (x) termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and
payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder and (y) the Revolving Credit Facility
Termination Date applicable to such Defaulting Lender and payment in full of all obligations of the
Borrower hereunder to all Lenders owing on such Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date and will
be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of
payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any
amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement,
second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks
or the Swing Line Lender (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this
Agreement, and third after the earlier of (x) termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder and (y) the Revolving
Credit Facility Termination Date applicable to such Defaulting Lender and payment in full of all
obligations of the Borrower hereunder to all Lenders owing on such Revolving Credit Facility
Termination Date, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court
of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. For the sake of clarity, it is understood and
agreed that any payment by the Borrower on account of the obligations of a Defaulting Lender shall
be and be deemed to be a payment by the Borrower to such Defaulting Lender (and no interest will
thereafter accrue on such amount) whether or not such payment is paid to such Defaulting Lender or
deposited in the above-referenced non-interest bearing account.
(e) Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swing
Line Lender agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should
no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties
hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions
set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the
segregated account referred to in Section 2.22(d)), such Lender will, to the extent applicable,
purchase such portion of the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances of the other Lenders and/or make
such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the total
Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Credit Advances, Facility Letter of Credit participation
obligations pursuant to Section 4.6 and Swing Line Advance participation obligations pursuant to
Section 2.19 of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving
Credit Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided
that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or
on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided,
further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no
change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender.
39
ARTICLE III
INCREASED COSTS; TAXES
3.1. Increased Costs. If, after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable law,
rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Installation)
with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority,
central bank or comparable agency issued after the date hereof shall impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any
such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System but excluding with respect to
any Fixed Rate Advance any such requirement included in an applicable Statutory Reserve Rate)
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its
Lending Installation) or shall impose on any Lender (or its Lending Installation) or on the London
interbank market any other condition affecting its Fixed Rate Advances or its obligation to make
Fixed Rate Advances and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender
(or its Lending Installation) of making or maintaining any Fixed Rate Advance, or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Lending Installation) under this
Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material,
then, within 30 days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction;
provided, however, that at such time such Lender shall be generally assessing such
amounts on a non-discriminatory basis against borrowers under agreements having provisions similar
to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.1 shall not apply to
Excluded Taxes or taxes indemnified under Section 3.5.
3.2. Capital Adequacy. If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption after
the date hereof of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change
therein, or any change in the administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any
Lender (or its Lending Installation) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
issued after the date hereof (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority,
central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which
such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such
Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 30 days after demand by such Lender, the
Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
for such reduction; provided, however, that at such time such Lender shall be
generally assessing such amounts on a non-discriminatory basis against borrowers under agreements
having provisions similar to this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section
3.2 shall not apply to taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 3.5.
3.3. Availability of Certain Revolving Credit Advances; Illegality. (a) If the
Required Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility determine that (A) deposits of a type and
maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Ratable Advances are not available or (B) the
interest rate applicable to a Rate Option does not accurately reflect the cost of making or
maintaining the applicable Revolving Credit Ratable Advance, then the Administrative Agent shall
suspend the availability of the affected Rate Option under the Revolving Credit Facility or (b) if,
after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any
change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental
Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender
(or its Lending Installation) with any request or directive issued after the date hereof (whether
or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority shall make it unlawful or
impossible for any Lender (or its Lending Installation) to make, maintain or fund its Fixed Rate
Advances hereunder such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, whereupon
until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make such Fixed Rate
Advances shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
pursuant to this Section 3.3, such Lender shall designate a different Lending Installation if such
different Lending Installation is available to the applicable Lender, such designation will avoid
the need for giving such notice and such designation will not, in the reasonable judgment of such
Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall determine that it may
not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Fixed Rate Advances to maturity
and shall so specify in such notice, each such Fixed Rate Advance will automatically, upon such
demand, be converted into an ABR Advance.
40
3.4. Funding Indemnification. If (a)(i) any payment of a Fixed Rate Advance occurs on
a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of
acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or (ii) a Fixed Rate Advance is not made, or (iii) any
Revolving Credit Advance is not continued or converted into a Fixed Rate Advance, on the date
specified by the Borrower, in each case, for any reason other than default by the Lenders or
(b) the assignment of any Fixed Rate Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of the
applicable Interest Period as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, then
the Borrower will indemnify each
Lender for any loss or cost (including any reasonable internal administrative costs) incurred
by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or
employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Fixed Rate Advance. Determination of amounts
payable under this Section 3.4 in connection with a Fixed Rate Loan shall be calculated as though
each Lender funded its Fixed Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity
corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the interest rate applicable to
such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.
3.5. Taxes.
(a) Unless otherwise required by applicable law, any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of any Loan Party shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding
for any Taxes, provided that if the Loan Party shall be required by applicable law to deduct any
Taxes from such payments, then (i) subject to the provisions below, the sum payable by the
applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions of
Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this section) have been
made, each Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable Loan Party shall make such
deductions, and (iii) the applicable Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any
other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made
hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to,
this Agreement or any Note (“Other Taxes”).
(c) The Borrower agrees unconditionally to indemnify and save the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders harmless from and against any or all present or future claims, liabilities or losses with
respect to or resulting from Taxes and any omission by the Borrower to pay, or any delay in paying,
any Other Taxes. Such indemnification payments by the Borrower shall be made within 30 days of the
date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.
(d) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a
state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, not less than ten Business Days after
the date of this Agreement (and, in the case of each Lender who joins this Agreement after the date
hereof, on or prior to the date that it joins this Agreement), (i) deliver to each of the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8ECI (or a successor form), certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments
under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes,
and (ii) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal
Revenue Form W-8 or W-9 (or a successor form), as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled
to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes
to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or additional copies
of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes
obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so
delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, in each case unless an event (including without limitation
any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred after the date such Lender becomes a Lender
hereunder and prior to the time at which any such delivery would otherwise be required which
renders such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and
delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it. All forms or amendments described in the
preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this
Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an
event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred after the
date such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder and prior to the date on which any such delivery would
otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender
from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender
advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments
without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
41
(e) For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with an
appropriate form pursuant to Section 3.5(c) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law
or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be
provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5
with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Non-U.S. Lender
which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to
Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under Section 3.5(c), the Borrower shall
take such steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Non-U.S. Lender to
recover such Taxes, at no cost to the Borrower.
(f) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with
respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant
jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate.
3.6. Lender Statements: Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible,
each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its applicable Fixed
Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and
3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of the applicable Fixed Rate Advances under Section 3.3, so long
as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each
Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such
written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender
determined such amount (which calculations shall be made in good faith) and shall be final,
conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts
payable under such Sections in connection with a Fixed Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each
Lender funded its Fixed Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity
corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the interest rate applicable to
such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount
specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable within 30 days after receipt by
the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2,
3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not be required to
make any payments to any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 relating to any period of
time which is greater than 90 days prior to such Person’s request for additional payment except for
retroactive application of any law, rule or regulation, in which case the Borrower is required to
make such payments so long as such Person makes a request therefor within 90 days after the public
announcement of such retroactive application.
ARTICLE IV
THE LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY
4.1. Facility Letters of Credit. At the request of the Borrower, each Issuing Bank
shall, within the limits of its Issuing Bank’s L/C Limit and on the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement, issue from time to time for the account of the Borrower, through such offices or
branches as it and the Borrower may jointly agree, one or more Facility Letters of Credit (which,
in the case of a Performance Letter of Credit, may be an Escrow Agreement) in accordance with this
Article IV, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Business Day prior
to the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date.
4.2. Limitations. No Issuing Bank shall issue, renew, amend or extend, at any time,
any Facility Letter of Credit:
(i) if, after giving effect to the Facility Letter of Credit or amendment or extension
thereof requested hereunder, (A) the aggregate maximum amount then available for drawing
under Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall exceed any limit imposed by Law
upon such Issuing Bank or (B) the outstanding undrawn face amount of all Facility Letters of
Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall exceed such Issuing Bank’s L/C Limit;
42
(ii) if, after giving effect to the Facility Letter of Credit or amendment or extension
thereof requested hereunder, the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Revolving Credit Advances (including Revolving Credit Ratable Advances,
Competitive Bid Advances and Swing Line Advances) plus (ii) the Facility Letter of
Credit Obligations exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment;
(iii) [Reserved];
(iv) if such Issuing Bank receives written notice from the Administrative Agent on the
proposed Issuance Date of such Facility Letter of Credit that the conditions precedent
contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.2, as applicable, would not on such Issuance Date be
satisfied unless such conditions are thereafter satisfied and written notice of such
satisfaction is given to such Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent;
(v) that is in a currency other than U.S. Dollars;
(vi) that has a stated maturity date later than the earlier of (A) four years after the
Issuance Date and (B) one year after the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date;
provided, however, that, no Revolving Credit Declining Lender that is an
Issuing Bank shall issue or extend a Facility Letter of Credit that has a stated maturity
date that is later than its Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date. For
purposes of this clause (vi), the “stated maturity date” is the expiration date of the
Facility Letter of Credit, giving effect to any future extension thereof under an automatic
renewal provision, unless such automatic renewal provision permits the Issuing Bank to elect
not to extend by giving written notice of cancellation to the beneficiary of such Facility
Letter of Credit; provided further that notwithstanding the foregoing, only
Facility Letters of Credit of up to $600,000,000 in the aggregate shall be permitted to have
actual stated maturities (after giving effect to all automatic renewal provisions actually
extended) beyond the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date; or
(vii) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender and after giving effect to the issuance of
such Facility Letters of Credit or amendment or extension thereof, the sum of Revolving
Credit Exposures of the Non-Defaulting Lenders would exceed the sum of the Revolving Credit
Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, unless such excess amount is cash collateralized
by the Borrower in accordance with Section 4.10.
4.3. Conditions. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
contained in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, as applicable, the issuance of any Facility Letter of Credit is
subject to the satisfaction in full of the following conditions:
(i) the Borrower shall have delivered to such Issuing Bank at such times and in such
manner as the Issuing Bank may reasonably prescribe such documents (including, if requested,
an Application) and materials as may be reasonably required pursuant to the terms thereof,
and the proposed Facility Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing
Bank in form and content; and
(ii) as of the Issuance Date no order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or
governmental authority shall enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing the Facility
Letter of Credit and no Law applicable to such Issuing Bank and no directive from any
Official Body with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit such Issuing Bank from
issuing Letters of Credit generally or from issuing that Facility Letter or Credit.
4.4. Procedure for Issuance of Facility Letters of Credit.
(a) The Borrower shall give such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not less than five
(5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as such Issuing Bank, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent shall agree) prior notice (in writing or by telephonic notice confirmed
promptly in writing) of any requested issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit under this Agreement.
Such notice shall specify (i) the stated amount of the Facility Letter of Credit requested, (ii)
the requested Issuance Date, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) the date on which such
requested Facility Letter of Credit is to expire, which date shall be in compliance with the
requirements of Section 4.2(vi), (iv) the purpose for which such Facility Letter of Credit is to be
issued, (v) the Person for whose benefit the requested Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued,
and (vi) whether such Facility Letter of Credit is a Performance Letter of Credit (and, if so,
whether it is an Escrow Agreement) or a Financial Letter of Credit. At the time such request is
made, the Borrower shall also provide such Issuing Bank with a copy of the form of the Facility
Letter of Credit it is requesting be issued.
43
(b) As soon as practicable and in no event later than one Business Day prior to the issuance
of a Facility Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall confirm by notice (“Facility Letter of Credit
Notice”) in writing to the Administrative Agent and to such Issuing Bank the intended Issuance Date
and amount of such Facility Letter of Credit. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the
Business Day following its receipt of a Facility Letter of Credit Notice, the Administrative Agent
shall determine and shall notify the Issuing Bank and the Borrower (in writing or by telephonic
notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing) whether issuance of the requested Facility Letter
of Credit would be permitted under the provisions of Sections 4.2(ii) and (vii) and the second
proviso to Section 4.2(vi). If the Administrative Agent notifies such Issuing Bank and the
Borrower that such issuance would be so permitted, then, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Article IV, and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 5.1 and
5.2 have been satisfied, such Issuing Bank shall, on the requested Issuance Date, issue the
requested Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary
business practices. Such Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent written notice, or
telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the issuance of a Facility Letter of
Credit.
(c) An Issuing Bank shall not extend (other than by operation of an automatic renewal
provision) or amend any Facility Letter of Credit unless the requirements of this Section 4.4 are
met as though a new Facility Letter of Credit were being requested and issued.
(d) Any Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, issue to the Company or any Subsidiary
Letters of Credit (that are not Facility Letters of Credit) for its own account, and at its own
risk. None of the provisions of this Article IV shall apply to any Letter of Credit that is not a
Facility Letter of Credit.
4.5. Duties of Issuing Bank. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing
Bank under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence
of willful misconduct or gross negligence, shall not put such Issuing Bank under any resulting
liability to any Revolving Credit Lender or, provided that such Issuing Bank has complied
with the procedures specified in Section 4.4 in all material respects, relieve any Revolving Credit
Lender of its obligations hereunder to such Issuing Bank. In determining whether to pay under any
Facility Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to the Lenders other than to
confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Facility Letter of Credit appear to
have been delivered in compliance with the requirements of such Facility Letter of Credit.
4.6. Participation.
(a) Immediately upon issuance by an Issuing Bank of any Facility Letter of Credit in
accordance with Section 4.4 (and, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit, on the Closing
Date), each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally
purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest
and participation, in the amount of its Revolving Credit Ratable Share of, such Facility Letter of
Credit (including, without limitation, all obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto other
than amounts owing to such Issuing Bank under Section 3.2 or 4.7(b)). Immediately upon the
Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date of a Revolving Credit Declining Lender or
termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Revolving Credit Declining Lender pursuant to
Section 2.21, each other Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and
unconditionally purchased and received from such Revolving Credit Declining Lender, without
recourse or warranty, a portion of each such Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s undivided interest
and participation in all outstanding Facility Letters of Credit (in the proportion of the Revolving
Credit Ratable Shares of such purchasing Lenders determined immediately following the termination
of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Declining Lender) such that, upon such
purchase, each Revolving Credit Lender holds an undivided interest and participation in all
outstanding Facility Letters of Credit in the amount of its then Revolving Credit Ratable Share
thereof.
44
(b) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Facility Letter of Credit of any notice of a
drawing under such Facility Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall exercise
commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
thereof and the date required for payment of such drawing under such Facility Letter of Credit. In
the event that an Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Facility Letter of Credit, the Borrower
shall immediately and unconditionally upon notice thereof reimburse the Issuing Bank therefor,
whether through a Revolving Credit Advance hereunder or otherwise. If the Borrower shall not have
repaid such amount to such Issuing Bank on or before the date of such payment by such Issuing Bank,
such Issuing Bank shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly so notify
each Revolving Credit Lender. Upon receipt of such notice, each Revolving Credit Lender severally
agrees that it shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent (in same day
funds) for the account of such Issuing Bank the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving
Credit Ratable Share of the payments so made by such Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly pay such amount, and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for such
Issuing Bank’s account pursuant to this Section 4.6(b), to such Issuing Bank. If the
Administrative Agent so notifies such Revolving Credit Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time)
on any Business Day, such Revolving Credit Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent
for the account of such Issuing Bank such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Ratable Share
of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such
Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made its Revolving Credit Ratable Share of the amount of
such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, such
Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing
Bank forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date
such payment was first due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Issuing Bank, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The failure of any Revolving
Credit Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank
such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Ratable Share of any such payment shall not relieve
any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Revolving Credit Ratable Share of any
payment on the date such payment is to be made.
(c) The payments made by the Revolving Credit Lenders to an Issuing Bank in reimbursement of
amounts paid by it under a Facility Letter of Credit shall constitute, and the Borrower hereby
expressly acknowledges and agrees that such payments shall constitute, Revolving Credit Advances
hereunder and such payments shall for all purposes be treated as Revolving Credit Advances
(notwithstanding that the amounts thereof may not comply with the provisions of Section 2.5). Such
Revolving Credit Advances shall be ABR Advances, subject to the Borrower’s rights under Article II
hereof.
(d) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender, an Issuing
Bank shall furnish to the requesting Administrative Agent or Revolving Credit Lender copies of any
Facility Letter of Credit or Application to which such Issuing Bank is party.
(e) The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the Administrative
Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit and the
Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in respect of Facility Letters of Credit hereunder shall be
irrevocable, not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in
accordance with, but not subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including, without limitation, the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents;
(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may
have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Facility Letter of Credit or any
transferee of any Facility Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may
be acting), such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender, or any
other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Facility Letter of Credit, the
transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying
transactions between the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the beneficiary named in any
Facility Letter of Credit);
45
(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Facility 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) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of
any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;
(v) any failure by the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank to make any reports
required pursuant to Section 4.8; or
(vi) the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default.
(f) The Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in respect of Facility Letters of Credit
hereunder and, except as set forth in Section 4.10(x)(B) with respect to Non-Cash Collateralized
Letters of Credit, the obligations of Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the
Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank under this Section 4.6 shall, in each case,
continue until all Facility Letters of Credit of such Issuing Bank have expired (regardless of
whether (i) such Facility Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized in accordance with Section
4.10, (ii) the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date has occurred or (iii) the Issuing Bank of
such Facility Letter of Credit is a Revolving Credit Declining Lender or has been replaced pursuant
to Section 2.20 or its Revolving Credit Commitment has been terminated pursuant to Section
2.22(c)).
4.7. Compensation for Facility Letters of Credit.
(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (except to the extent that the
Borrower shall be required to pay directly to the Revolving Credit Lenders as provided in Section
4.7(c)), in the case of each outstanding Facility Letter of Credit, the Facility Letter of Credit
Fee therefor, payable quarterly in arrears as hereinafter provided on the daily average face amount
(net of permanent reductions) of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during the
preceding calendar quarter (but excluding any period prior to the Closing Date during which an
Existing Letter of Credit was outstanding, with respect to which period fees shall be payable as
provided in the Existing Credit Agreement). The Facility Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and
payable quarterly in arrears (A) not later than five (5) Business Days following Administrative
Agent’s delivery to Borrower of the quarterly statement of Facility Letter of Credit Fees, (B) on
the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date and (C) if any Facility Letter of Credit remains
outstanding after the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date on the first day of each calendar
quarter thereafter until the first day of the calendar quarter after the date on which the last
outstanding Facility Letter of Credit ceases to be outstanding (each such date specified in clause
(A), (B) or (C), a “Quarterly Payment Date”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit such
Facility Letter of Credit Fees, when received by it, to the Revolving Credit Lenders in their
Revolving Credit Ratable Shares thereof.
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable
Issuing Bank (except to the extent that the Borrower shall be required to pay directly to the
Issuing Bank as provided in Section 4.7(c)) an issuance fee of 0.25% per annum payable quarterly in
arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date (including, if any Facility Letter of Credit remains
outstanding after the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, each Quarterly Payment Date
thereafter until the first Quarterly Payment Date after the date on which the last outstanding
Facility Letter of Credit ceases to be outstanding) on the daily average face amount (net of
permanent reductions) of each Facility Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and that was
outstanding at any time during the preceding calendar quarter (but excluding any period prior to
the Closing Date during which an Existing Letter of Credit was outstanding, with respect to which
period fees shall be payable as provided in the Existing Credit Agreement. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly remit such issuance fee, when received by it, to such Issuing Bank.
(c) After the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date and the payment in full of all other
Obligations, the Borrower shall make on each Quarterly Payment Date (i) payments of Facility Letter
of Credit Fees under Section 4.7(a) directly to the Lenders in the amounts of their respective
Revolving Credit Ratable Shares thereof and (ii) payments of issuance fees under Section 4.7(b)
directly to each Issuing Bank that issued a Facility Letter of Credit that was outstanding at any
time during the prior calendar quarter.
46
(d) Facility Letter of Credit Fees and issuance fees payable to the Issuing Bank shall be
calculated, on a pro rata basis for the period to which such payment applies, for actual days
elapsed during such period, on the basis of a 360-day year.
4.8. Issuing Bank Reporting Requirements. Each Issuing Bank shall, no later than the
third (3rd) Business Day following the last day of each month, provide to the Administrative Agent
a schedule of the Facility Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the Issuance Date, account party, original face
amount, amount (if any) paid thereunder, expiration date and the reference number of each Facility
Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month (and whether such Facility Letter of
Credit is a Performance Letter of Credit or Financial Letter of Credit) and the aggregate amount
(if any) payable by the Borrower to such Issuing Bank during the month pursuant to Section 3.2.
Copies of such reports shall be provided promptly to each Revolving Credit Lender and the Borrower
by the Administrative Agent.
4.9. Indemnification; Nature of Issuing Bank’s Duties.
(a) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Article IV, the Borrower
hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Administrative Agent and each Revolving
Credit Lender and Issuing Bank harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities,
damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from
the claims of third parties against the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Revolving
Credit Lender as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Facility Letter of
Credit other than, in the case of an Issuing Bank, as a result of its willful misconduct or gross
negligence, or (ii) the failure of an Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under a Facility Letter of
Credit issued by it as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any
present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority.
(b) As among the Borrower, the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any
Issuing Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of Facility
Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Facility Letters of Credit. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any
Revolving Credit Lender nor (subject to the provisions of Section 4.9(d)) an Issuing Bank shall be
responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any
document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of the Facility
Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid,
insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any
instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Facility Letter of
Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may
prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of a
Facility Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such
Facility Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or
delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in
cipher; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Facility
Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of a
Facility Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Facility Letter of Credit; and
(viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent,
such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders including, without limitation, any act or
omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or
governmental authority. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of
an Issuing Bank’s rights or powers under this Section 4.9.
(c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove
set forth, any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Facility
Letters of Credit or any related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put
such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender under any resulting
liability to the Borrower or relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any such
Person.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.9, the Borrower shall
have no obligation to indemnify an Issuing Bank under this Section 4.9 in respect of any liability
incurred by such Issuing Bank arising primarily out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence
of such Issuing Bank, as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction, or out of the wrongful dishonor by such Issuing Bank of a
proper demand for payment made under the Facility Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank,
unless such dishonor was made at the request of the Borrower.
47
4.10. Cash Collateralization. If the expiration date of any Facility Letter of Credit
is (i) later than the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, (ii) in the case of a Facility
Letter of Credit issued by a Revolving Credit Declining Lender, later than its Revolving Credit
Declining Lender’s Termination Date or such date on which such Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s
Revolving Credit Commitment is replaced pursuant to Section 2.20 or is terminated pursuant to
Section 2.21, (iii) in the case of a Facility Letter of Credit issued by a Defaulting Lender, which
Defaulting Lender is either replaced pursuant to Section 2.20 or whose Revolving Credit Commitment
is terminated pursuant to Section 2.22(c), or (iv) in the case of a Facility Letter of Credit
otherwise issued by an Affected Lender that is replaced pursuant to Section 2.20, later than the
date of such replacement, the Borrower shall, or shall cause one or more of the other Loan Parties
to, (x) in the case of clause (i) above, either, (A) cash collateralize such Facility Letter of
Credit not less than sixty (60) days prior to the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date or
(B) if acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, provide collateral or
other alternatives acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion (in the case of clause
(B), “Non-Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit”) (provided that the obligations of the Lenders to
make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank under Section 4.6 in
respect of Non-Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit and the obligation of the Borrower to pay
Facility Letter of Credit Fees and the fees required under Section 4.7(b) hereof in respect of
Non-Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit shall in each case terminate on the Revolving Credit
Facility Termination Date and the Non-Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit shall cease to be
Facility Letters of Credit hereunder) or (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, cash collateralize
such Facility Letter of Credit no later than the date of replacement of such Revolving Credit
Declining Lender or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit
Declining Lender or, if not so replaced or terminated, cash collateralize such Facility Letter of
Credit no later than 60 days prior to such Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date or
(z) in the case of clause (iii) or (iv) above, cash collateralize such Facility Letter of Credit no
later than the date of replacement of a Defaulting Lender or Affected Lender pursuant to Section
2.21 or the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender pursuant
to Section 2.22. In addition, the Borrower shall cash collateralize Facility Letters of Credit
when required by and in accordance with Section 2.22(a), Section 2.22(c) and Section 4.2(vii). For
purposes of this Agreement, “cash collateralize” means, with respect to any Facility Letter of
Credit, that the Borrower or another Loan Party shall provide, to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, cash in an amount equal to the undrawn face amount of such
Facility Letter of Credit.
4.11. No Obligation. No Lender shall have any obligation hereunder to accept or
approve any request for, or to issue, amend or extend, any Letter of Credit hereunder except for
the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this Article IV.

ARTICLE VI
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
The Borrower and the Company each represent and warrant to the Lenders that:
6.1. Existence and Standing. Each of the Borrower and the Company is a corporation,
duly and properly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each
jurisdiction in which its business is conducted. Each of the other Loan Parties is a corporation,
partnership, limited liability company or trust duly and properly incorporated or organized, as the
case may be, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good
standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite
authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted to the
extent in each case it is material to the operation of the businesses of the Loan Parties taken as
a whole.
6.2. Authorization and Validity. Each Loan Party has the power and authority and
legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its
obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to
which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by
proper corporate (or, in the case of Loan Parties that are not corporations, other) proceedings,

7.13. Borrower a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary. The Borrower will at all times be a

exist any Investments (including, without limitation, loans and advances to, and other Investments
in, Subsidiaries), or commitments therefor, or will create any Subsidiary or will become or remain

newly-acquired Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Mortgage Subsidiary) as a
Designated Guarantor on a quarterly basis simultaneously with its delivery of the next Compliance

satisfies the requirements of Non-Designation of such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary in accordance with
Section 10.13) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.16. Such designation of a
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company as a Designated Guarantor shall be effected by the delivery

of this Section 7.17, no Loan Party will make any amendment or modification to any Subordinated
Loan Document, without providing at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the
Administrative Agent, and obtaining the prior written consent of the Required Lenders thereto. The
Loan Parties may amend or modify any Subordinated Loan Document without obtaining the consent of
the Required Lenders if after giving effect to such amendment or modification (a) the subordination
provisions therein would be permitted under this Agreement, and (b) the covenants governing such
Subordinated Indebtedness affected by the amendment are no more onerous to the borrower of such
Subordinated Indebtedness than those contained under this Agreement and the Administrative Agent
shall have received an officer’s certificate to such effect by an Authorized Officer of the
Company.
59
7.18. Intercompany Loans, Loans from Non-Loan Parties. The Borrower may make
Intercompany Loans available to the Guarantors using proceeds of the Loans. Each Intercompany Loan
shall be evidenced either
by a promissory note of the obligor under such Intercompany Loan (individually, an
“Intercompany Note” and collectively, the “Intercompany Notes”), an intercompany account agreement
between Borrower and the obligor under such Intercompany Loan (individually, an “Intercompany
Agreement” and collectively, the “Intercompany Agreements”) or by an entry on the books and records
of the Borrower and the obligor under such Intercompany Loan, and repayment of such Intercompany
Loans shall be on such terms as the Borrower and the Guarantors agree. Each Intercompany Loan
shall be subordinated to the Guarantors’ obligations under the Guaranty Agreements pursuant to the
terms of the Guaranty Agreement and shall either be a demand loan or become due and payable upon
the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.1 after the occurrence of a Default hereunder.
Any Intercompany Note, Intercompany Agreement or book-entry claim may in turn be assigned by the
Borrower to another Guarantor or any other member of the Toll Group as a capital contribution. The
Company shall establish and maintain such books and records relating to Intercompany Loans and
other Investments in the Designated Guarantors as are required to enable it and the Administrative
Agent to trace advances and repayments of principal of Intercompany Loans and other investments in
the Guarantors.
7.19. Appraisals.
7.19.1. Procedures. The Loan Parties shall cooperate with the Lenders and the
appraisers in making appraisals of the Borrowing Base Assets which the Administrative Agent, at the
direction of the Required Lenders, may from time to time request. The Borrower may, within ten
(10) days following any such request by the Administrative Agent, specify which other of the
Borrowing Base Assets it requests to have similarly appraised. Following the first to occur of (A)
completion of all appraisals requested at any one time by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
under this Section 7.19, and (B) a date specified by the Administrative Agent no earlier than 45
days after the last request for an appraisal has (or could have) been made by the Borrower in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the appraised values of all Borrowing Base
Assets which have been appraised (rather than their book value) shall be used for purposes of
applying the covenant contained in Section 7.28.2. The Required Lenders shall have the right to
request appraisals pursuant to this Section 7.19 not more than two times in any period of twelve
consecutive months, and shall specify in such request all of the Borrowing Base Assets for which
the Lenders desire appraisals.
7.19.2. Costs. Any appraisals by the Administrative Agent shall be at the Lenders’
expense (in the proportion of their respective Revolving Credit Ratable Shares), unless using such
appraised values would result in the covenant contained in Section 7.28.2 being violated, in which
event all such appraisals shall be at the Borrower’s expense; provided, that, in addition to the
foregoing, if at any time that the Borrowing Base provisions set forth in Section 7.28.2 are in
effect because the Leverage Ratio is above the thresholds set forth therein as of the end of the
most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 7.1(i) or (ii), the amount of the Borrowing Base (determined as of the
end of such fiscal quarter and set forth on the Borrowing Base Certificate required to be delivered
pursuant to Section 7.1(viii)) is not greater than the aggregate principal amount of the Senior
Indebtedness then outstanding (excluding outstanding Letters of Credit or similar arrangements to
the extent collateralized by cash, Marketable Securities or Cash Equivalents and it being
understood that a Permitted Purchase Money Loan shall not be included in the foregoing calculation
unless the Borrower has included in the Borrowing Base the assets securing such Permitted Purchase
Money Loan) by at least an amount equal to 20% of the aggregate principal amount of such Senior
Indebtedness then outstanding (calculated in accordance with the prior parenthetical), then the
Administrative Agent, at the written request of the Required Lenders, shall have the right to
request appraisals of a selection of Borrowing Base Assets that constitute (x) Borrowing Base
Assets with the highest individual book values and (y) Borrowing Base Assets that in the aggregate
constitute 50% of the aggregate book value of all Borrowing Base Assets (both (x) and (y) to be
determined by the Company in good faith in consultation with the Administrative Agent) (such
assets, the “Borrowing Base Selected Assets”) not more than once in any twelve consecutive
months with all such appraisals conducted at the Borrower’s expense; provided, further, that if the
aggregate appraised value of the Borrowing Base Selected Assets is less than the aggregate book
value of the Borrowing Base Selected Assets as set forth in the above-referenced Borrowing Base
Certificate, then the Administrative Agent shall have the right, at the written request of the
Required Lenders (but only so long as the Borrowing Base provisions set forth in Section 7.28.2 are
in effect as provided above) to request appraisals of additional Borrowing Base Assets on the same
basis as provided in clauses (x) and (y) above that in the aggregate, together with the Borrowing
Base Selected Assets, constitute 80% of the aggregate book value of all Borrowing Base
60
Assets (such
additional Borrowing Base Assets to be determined by the Company in
good faith in consultation with the Administrative Agent as provided above and defined herein as the “Additional
Borrowing Base Selected Assets”) not more than once in any twelve consecutive months with all
such appraisals conducted at the Borrower’s expense; provided, further, that if the
aggregate appraised value of the Borrowing Base Selected Assets and the Additional Borrowing Base
Selected Assets is less than ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate book value of such assets as set
forth on the above-referenced Borrowing Base Certificate, then the Administrative Agent shall have
the right, at the written request of the Required Lenders (but only so long as the Borrowing Base
provisions set forth in Section 7.28.2 are in effect as provided above), to request appraisals of
all remaining Borrowing Base Assets at the Borrower’s expense, but no more than once in any twelve
consecutive months; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if a
Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing as a result of a breach of
Section 7.28.2, then all appraisals under this Section 7.19 shall be at the Borrower’s expense.
7.19.3. Appraisers. Any appraisals requested at any one time pursuant to this Section
7.19 shall be made by one or more appraisers for all properties (there shall be no more than one
appraiser for each property) located in each state selected by the Borrower from a list of at least
three appraisers submitted by the Administrative Agent with respect to such state at the time it
makes its request. All appraisers submitted by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section
7.19 shall be appraisers who have been approved by the Required Lenders and the Borrower (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and in either event have committed to prepare
appraisals within 45 days following the date such appraisals are requested.
7.20. Mortgage Subsidiaries. The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of the
creation of any Mortgage Subsidiary within seven (7) Business Days after such creation. Such
notice shall include the name, state of incorporation and ownership of the capital stock or other
ownership interests thereof. The Company shall cause the Mortgage Subsidiaries to engage
exclusively in the Mortgage Banking Business. The Company shall deliver information relating to
the organization, operations and finances of the Mortgage Subsidiaries as the Administrative Agent
may reasonably request from time to time.
7.21. Qualified Ratings.
(a) The Company shall at all times have received at least one Qualified Rating of the
Company’s Senior Indebtedness or the Indebtedness under the Agreement or any Indebtedness senior to
the Subordinated Indebtedness from at least one Qualified Rating Agency, and the Company shall have
contracted with at least one such Qualified Rating Agency for the periodic modification and
updating of such Qualified Ratings; provided, however that, if the Company has only
one such Qualified Rating, such Qualified Rating shall be from either Xxxxx’x or S&P. The Company
shall notify the Administrative Agent of any new rating of the Company’s Senior Indebtedness or its
Indebtedness under this Agreement which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries receives or any
modification of an existing rating of any such Indebtedness which the Company or any Subsidiary
receives, in each instance within three (3) Business Days following the date of such receipt by a
Senior Executive of the Company. The Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent copies of
any documents which the Company receives evidencing, describing or explaining or relating to such
new or modified rating within such three- (3-) Business Day Period. If the Company shall at any
time fail to have at least one Qualified Rating from either S&P or Xxxxx’x pursuant to the first
sentence above, the Company shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent of such failure.
(b) The Borrower shall have a one-time election to have the Rating determined without
reference to any Qualified Rating of Fitch, which election shall be exercised by written notice to
the Administrative Agent.
7.22. Updates to Schedules. Should any of the information or disclosures provided on
Schedules 6, 9 and 10 become outdated or incorrect in any material respect,
the Borrower and the Company shall promptly provide the Administrative Agent in writing with such
revisions or updates to such Schedules as may be necessary or appropriate to update or correct the
applicable schedules hereto (i) simultaneously with or promptly following the notice by any of the
Loan Parties of a breach of covenant which renders one or more of such schedules misleading or
(ii) within five (5) Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s request that the Borrower
provide updates to either of those Schedules; provided, however that neither
Schedule 6 nor Schedule 9 nor Schedule 10 shall be deemed to have been
amended, modified or superseded by any such correction or update, nor shall any breach of any
covenant, warranty or representation resulting from the inaccuracy or incompleteness of either
Schedule be deemed to have been cured thereby, unless and until the Required Lenders, in their sole
and absolute discretion,
shall have accepted in writing such revisions or updates to such Schedules. The Borrower
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an updated Schedule 7, together with the delivery
of the Borrower’s quarterly Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 7.1(iv), if the information
contained on the Schedule 7 then in effect shall have changed.
61

time in and as of the date of the actuarial reports for such Plan shall not exceed the
aggregate fair market value of the assets of such Plan.
(vi) Neither the Company nor any other member of the Controlled Group shall incur any
withdrawal liability under ERISA to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan.

Material Adverse Effect either individually or in the aggregate with all other such failures. The
Company and the Borrower shall not permit any grievances, arbitration awards or appeals therefrom
arising out of the Labor Contracts or strikes or threatened strikes, picketing, handbilling or
other work stoppages or slowdowns at facilities of any Loan Party that in any case or in the
aggregate would have a Material Adverse Effect.
62

(i) Except for violations or failures which individually and in the aggregate are not
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, (A) no Environmental Complaint shall be

subsequent owner of the Property is a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Cleanup and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. § 9601, et seq. and (B) the
Company and the Borrower shall not permit to occur any Environmental Complaint relating to

7.26. Environmental Certificates. The Borrowing Base Assets shall not include any
Property for which a Loan Party has not obtained a completed certificate (including an accompanying

independent environmental consultant. The Borrower shall, at the request of the Administrative
Agent, furnish to the Administrative Agent Environmental Certificates with respect to any Property
requested by the Administrative Agent that the Borrower has included in the Borrowing Base, and may, in order to

Base, furnish a supplemental Environmental Certificate to the Administrative Agent from a qualified
independent environmental consultant. The Administrative Agent shall with reasonable promptness
notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Administrative Agent’s approval or disapproval of any
exception on Exhibit A of any such Environmental Certificate that is not a Permitted Environmental

another Environmental Certificate in respect of Property that was not initially Environmentally
Approved Land following substantial completion of corrective action in accordance with
Environmental Laws applicable to exceptions to a prior Environmental Certificate in respect of such
Property and provision of documentation of such corrective action reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Lender shall be liable or
otherwise have any responsibility or obligation to any Lender or to any Loan Party for any approval
or disapproval of any exceptions in any Environmental Certificate made by it.

1.50 to 1.00.
7.28.2. Borrowing Base. At any time that the Leverage Ratio as of the end of a fiscal
quarter equals or exceeds 1.50 to 1.00 (which level shall step down to 1.25 to 1.00 if the
Company’s Consolidated EBITDA for the four quarter period then ended is less than zero), the
Company and the Borrower will not permit the Borrowing Base (determined as of the end of such
fiscal quarter and set forth on the Borrowing Base Certificate required to be delivered for such
fiscal quarter pursuant to Section 7.1(viii)) to be less than the aggregate principal amount of
Senior Indebtedness then outstanding (excluding outstanding Letters of Credit or similar
arrangements to the extent collateralized by cash, Marketable Securities or Cash Equivalents), it
being understood that a Permitted Purchase Money Loan shall not be included in the foregoing
calculation unless the Borrower has included in the Borrowing Base the assets securing such

amount paid by the Company for repurchase of its capital stock at any time after July 31, 2010 (but
only to the extent such repurchases do not exceed the Maximum Deductible Amount (as defined
below)). As used herein, the term “Maximum Deductible Amount” shall mean an amount equal to (A)
the cost of purchases and repurchases by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of capital stock of
the Company made after July 31, 2010 not to exceed, in the aggregate during any one-year period (as
measured from November 1 to October 31 of each year) ten percent (10%) of the Tangible Net Worth as
of the end of the fiscal year of the Company preceding such one-year period, plus (B) in addition
to the purchases and repurchases of capital stock under clause (A), the cost of other purchases or
repurchases by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of capital stock of the Company at any time,
not to exceed $100,000,000 in the aggregate after July 31, 2010.

exceeding $10,000,000.
8.12. Any Loan Party shall (i) be the subject of any proceeding or investigation pertaining to
the release of any Regulated Substance into the environment, or (ii) violate any Environmental Law,
which, in the case of an event described in clause (i) or clause (ii) or all such events in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
8.13. Any Change in Control shall occur.
8.14. Any action shall be taken by a Loan Party to discontinue or to assert the invalidity or
unenforceability of any Guaranty Agreement, or any Guarantor shall deny that it has any further
liability under any Guaranty Agreement to which it is a party, or shall give notice to such effect.
8.15. Any Loan Document shall fail to remain in full force and effect unless released by the
Lenders.
8.16. The representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.14.1 (“Plan Assets; Prohibited
Transactions”) shall at any time not be true and correct.
The Borrower may cure any Default (other than any failure to pay the Obligations) that relates
exclusively to a Designated Guarantor by Conversion of such Designated Guarantor to a Non-Loan
Party, to the extent permitted by and subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section
10.13, provided that such Conversion is completed (except as otherwise provided in Section
10.13(b)) not later than thirty (30) days after the first to occur of (a) such Default or (b) the
day that a Senior Executive of the Company first learned of the Unmatured Default that, with the
lapse of time or giving of notice, or both, has ripened or may ripen into such Default.
66
ARTICLE IX
ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
9.1. Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 8.5 or 8.6 occurs and is
continuing with respect to the Borrower or the Company, the obligations of the Lenders to make
Loans hereunder and the obligations of the Lenders to issue, amend or extend any Facility Letter of
Credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and
payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If
any other Default occurs and is continuing, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with
the written consent of the Required Lenders) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the
Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation of any Lender to issue, amend or extend any
Facility Letter of Credit hereunder, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both,
whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand,
protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives.
If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the
obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Bank(s) to issue, amend or extend
Facility Letters of Credit hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as
described in Section 8.5 or 8.6 with respect to the Borrower or the Company) and before any
judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the
Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by
notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.
9.2. Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, the Required Lenders
(or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders), the Borrower and
the Company may enter into agreements for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the
Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or
waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such agreement or any
waiver shall, (a) without the consent of all of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility:
(i) Extend the final maturity of any Loan under the Revolving Credit Facility (except
as provided in Section 2.17) or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof,
or reduce the rate (whether by modification of the Pricing Schedule or otherwise) or extend
the time for payment of or forgive interest or fees thereon; or
(ii) Extend the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date under the Revolving Credit
Facility (except as provided in Section 2.17), or increase the amount of the Revolving
Credit Commitment of any Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility (except as agreed to by
such Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.18);
or (b) without the consent of all Lenders:
(i) Permit the Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement; or
(ii) Increase the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment (except as
provided in Section 2.18); or
(iii) Change, directly or indirectly, the percentage specified in the definition of
“Required Lenders,” or change any provision that calls for consent, approval or other action
by the Required Lenders, all Lenders or any particular affected Lender; or
(iv) Amend this Section 9.2 or Section 12.1; or
(v) Release any Guarantor (except for the release of a Designated Guarantor as provided
in Section 10.13).
67
No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent or the Swing
Line Lender shall be effective without its written consent, and no amendment of any provision of
this Agreement relating to any outstanding Facility Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank
shall be effective without its written consent. The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the
fee required under Section 13.3.2 without obtaining the consent of any other party to this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to amendments under Section 9.2(a)(i) or
(ii) requiring the approval of all of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, if all
Lenders other than one or more Defaulting Lenders approve such amendment, the failure of such
Defaulting Lenders to approve such amendment shall not prevent such amendment from becoming
effective with respect to such Lenders approving such amendment (it being understood that such
amendment will not be effective with respect to such Defaulting Lenders that do not approve such
amendment).
9.3. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the
Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be
construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan or the
issuance, amendment or extension of a Facility Letter of Credit notwithstanding the existence of a
Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan or the
issuance, amendment or extension of such Facility Letter of Credit shall not constitute any waiver
or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other
variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid
unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 9.2, and then only to the
extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by
law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.
ARTICLE X
GENERAL PROVISIONS
10.1. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Borrower
contained in this Agreement shall survive the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Facility
Letters of Credit herein contemplated.
10.2. Governmental Regulation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrower in violation of any
limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable statute or regulation.
10.3. Headings. Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of
reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan
Documents.
10.4. Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and
understanding among the Borrower, the Company, Administrative Agent and the Lenders and supersede
all prior agreements and understandings among the Borrower, the Company, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders relating to the subject matter thereof (other than the Administrative Agent’s Fee
Letter).
10.5. Several Obligations Benefits of This Agreement. The respective obligations of
the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several and no Lender shall be the
partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized
to act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not
relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be
construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this
Agreement and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the
parties hereto expressly agree that the Arrangers (and, in the case of the provisions of Section
10.6(b), any other Person indemnified by the Borrower thereunder) shall enjoy the benefits of the
provisions of Sections 10.6, 10.10 and 11.10 to the extent specifically set forth therein and shall
have the right to enforce such provisions on its, his or her own behalf and in its, his or her own
name to the same extent as if it, he or she were a party to this Agreement.
68
10.6. Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers for any reasonable
costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses of attorneys for the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and (but only (1) after the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or (2) with the Borrower’s prior approval,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) other advisors and professionals engaged by
the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or
Citigroup in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, syndication,
amendment, modification, and administration of the Loan Documents. The Borrower also agrees to pay
for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including but not limited to reasonable legal fees and
expenses) of the Lenders and the Agents for workout proceedings, enforcement costs and documentary
taxes associated with the Revolving Credit Facility; provided, that, the Borrower shall not
be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel, plus separate counsel for the
Administrative Agent and its affiliates and separate counsel for each Arranger and its affiliates
plus, if necessary, one special counsel for each relevant specialty and one local counsel per
jurisdiction; provided, further that, in the event of any actual or potential
conflict of interest, the Borrower shall be liable for the fees and expenses of one additional
counsel for each person subject to such conflict.
(b) The Borrower hereby further agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Arranger
and each Lender, its directors, officers and employees against all losses, claims, obligations,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements
(including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other expenses of
litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Administrative Agent, either Arranger or any
Lender is a party thereto) (“Losses”) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the
direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder
including any Losses arising out of any actual or alleged presence or Release of Regulated
Substances at, on, under or emanating from any Property, or any liability related to the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries under any Environmental Laws except to the extent that they are
determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification. The
obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.6 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.
10.7. Numbers of Documents. All statements, notices, closing documents, and requests
hereunder shall (if the Administrative Agent so requests) be furnished to the Administrative Agent
with sufficient counterparts so that the Administrative Agent may furnish one to each of the
Lenders.
10.8. Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms
used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, as in effect from
time to time (“GAAP”); provided, however, if at any time any change in GAAP would
affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and
either the Company or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the
original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required
Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to
be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Company shall provide
to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under
this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between
calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in
GAAP.
10.9. Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to
be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be
inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that
jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other
jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.
69
10.10. Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower on the one hand
and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and
lender. Neither the Administrative Agent, any Arranger nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary
responsibilities to the Borrower, the Company or
any other Loan Party. Neither the Administrative Agent, any Arranger nor any Lender
undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party to review or
inform the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party of any matter in connection with any phase
of the Borrower’s, the Company’s or any other Loan Party’s business or operations. The Borrower
and the Company agree that neither the Administrative Agent, any Arranger nor any Lender shall have
liability to the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party (whether sounding in tort, contract
or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party in
connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the
relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in
connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the party from which recovery is sought. Neither the Administrative Agent, any Arranger nor any
Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower, the Company and each other Loan
Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx for, any special, indirect or consequential
damages suffered by the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party in connection with, arising
out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
10.11. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a)
to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal
counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made
will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to
have jurisdiction over it; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an
agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.11 (or as may
otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in,
or any prospective Eligible Assignee or pledgee of or Participant in, any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement; (f) with the written consent of the Borrower; (g) to the extent
such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section
10.11; (h) to any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) (in which case such
Person shall, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any
governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, promptly
notify the Borrower, in advance, to the extent lawfully permitted to do so); (i) to any rating
agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating
agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan
Parties received by it from such Lender); (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder to the extent
reasonably necessary in connection with such enforcement; or (k) to any direct or indirect
contractual counterparty in swap agreements under which payments are to be made by reference to the
Borrower and its Obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder or such contractual
counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional
advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section
10.11). In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and
information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the
lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the
administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments and the
Revolving Credit Advances. For the purposes of this Section 10.11, “Information” means all
information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries or its or their business, other than any such information that is publicly
available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.11; provided that, in the case of information
received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is
clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.
10.12. Nonreliance. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or
looking to any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System) for the repayment of the Loans provided for herein.
70
10.13. Conversion and Non-Designation of Designated Guarantors.
(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request that a Designated
Guarantor be released from its Guaranty Agreement and thereby be converted to a Non-Loan Party (a
“Conversion”) or that a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company not be required to be designated as
a Designated Guarantor (a “Non-Designation”), on and subject to the following conditions:
(i) No Default or Unmatured Default shall exist (except any Default or Unmatured
Default that will be cured as a result of such Conversion or Non-Designation) and no other
Default or Unmatured Default will exist as a result of such Conversion or Non-Designation.
(ii) In the case of a Conversion, the stockholders’ equity in such Designated Guarantor
and in the case of a Non-Designation, the stockholders’ equity in such Wholly-Owned
Subsidiary, shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the total consolidated stockholders’
equity in all Loan Parties. Determination of such percentages of stockholders’ equity shall
be made as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter of the Company for which the
financial statements required under Sections 7.1(i) or (ii) (as applicable) are available at
the time of such request for Conversion or Non-Designation.
(iii) The stockholders’ equity in all Designated Guarantors that the Borrower requests
to be converted into Non-Loan Parties in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters and
in all Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of the Company that the Borrower requests not to be
designated as Designated Guarantors during such four-quarter period shall not in the
aggregate exceed ten percent (10%) (or fifteen percent (15%) if and to the extent necessary
to permit the Borrower to cure a Default by Conversion of a Designated Guarantor) of the
lowest total consolidated stockholders’ equity in all Loan Parties at the end of any fiscal
quarter during such four-quarter period. Determination of such aggregate amounts of
stockholders’ equity of such applicable Designated Guarantors or Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries
shall be made by adding the amounts of stockholders’ equity of each such applicable
Designated Guarantor and Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (as determined at the time of request for
Conversion of such Designated Guarantor or Non-Designation of such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary
in accordance with clause (ii) above).
(iv) The stockholders’ equity in all Designated Guarantors that the Borrower requests
to be converted into Non-Loan Parties after the Closing Date and in all Wholly-Owned
Subsidiaries of the Company that the Borrower requests not to be designated as Designated
Guarantors after the Closing Date shall not in the aggregate exceed thirty percent (30%) of
the total consolidated stockholders’ equity in all Loan Parties. Determination of such
aggregate amounts of stockholders’ equity of such applicable Designated Guarantors or
Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries shall be made by adding the amounts of stockholders’ equity of
each such applicable Designated Guarantor and Wholly-Owned Subsidiary. Determinations of
such stockholders’ equity shall be made as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter of
the Company for which financial statements required under Section 7.1(i) or (ii) (as
applicable) are available at the time of the last such request for Conversion or
Non-Designation.
(v) The disposition by the Company of such Designated Guarantor (in the case of a
Conversion) or Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (in the case of a Non-Designation) would not have a
material effect on the homebuilding business of the other Loan Parties, operationally or
otherwise.
(vi) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, together with the
Borrower’s notice requesting the Conversion of a Designated Guarantor or Non-Designation of
a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, a certificate of the Borrower and the Company, certifying that
the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above are satisfied with respect to such
Conversion or Non-Designation, together with (A) in the case of a Conversion, a Compliance
Certificate, as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements
are available, prepared taking into account such Conversion and a projection of the
calculations for the Compliance Certificate for the next succeeding fiscal quarter and (B)
in any case, such other evidence in support of the satisfaction of such conditions as the
Administrative Agent shall request.
(vii) Such Conversion or Non-Designation shall comply with the provisions of
Section 10.13(d).
71
Upon the Administrative Agent’s determination that the foregoing conditions with respect to
the Conversion of a Designated Guarantor have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall
(except as otherwise provided in Section 10.13(b)) promptly (1) execute and deliver, for and on
behalf of itself and the Lenders, a release of such Designated Guarantor from its Guaranty
Agreement, whereupon such Designated Guarantor shall cease to be a Designated Guarantor and Loan
Party and shall be a Non-Loan Party, and (2) give notice to the Lenders of the Conversion of such
Designated Guarantor. Upon the Administrative Agent’s determination that the foregoing conditions
with respect to the Non-Designation of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company have been
satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice of such Non-Designation to the
Borrower and the Lenders.
(b) Notwithstanding the satisfaction of the conditions for Conversion of a Designated
Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.13(a), if requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may
elect, in its sole discretion, not to release such Designated Guarantor from its Guaranty, in which
event such Designated Guarantor shall remain a Guarantor but shall not constitute a Loan Party
hereunder for purposes of compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants contained
in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the covenants contained in Section 7.28) and the
provisions of Article VIII. If the Administrative Agent so elects not to release such Designated
Guarantor, it shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, and the Required Lenders may at any
time direct the Administrative Agent to release such Designated Guarantor from its Guaranty.
(c) If prior to the release of a Designated Guarantor from its Guaranty, the Borrower
determines and certifies to the Administrative Agent that the inclusion of such Designated
Guarantor as a Loan Party hereunder for all purposes (including, without limitation, compliance
with the covenants contained in Section 7.28) would not result in a Default or Unmatured Default,
the Borrower may request the Administrative Agent to reinstate such Designated Guarantor as a Loan
Party hereunder for all purposes. As a condition of any such reinstatement, the Administrative
Agent may request the Borrower to deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence in support of the
Borrower’s certification, including, without limitation, (i) a Compliance Certificate with respect
to the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements of the Company are available,
reflecting the inclusion of such Designated Guarantor as a Loan Party and evidencing compliance
with the covenants hereunder and (ii) a projection of the Compliance Certificate for the next
fiscal quarter, also reflecting the inclusion of such Designated Guarantor as a Loan Party and
projecting compliance with the covenants hereunder. Upon the Administrative Agent’s approval of
the Borrower’s certification and supporting evidence, the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower and the Lenders that such Designated Guarantor has been so reinstated, and from and after
the delivery of such notice, such Designated Guarantor shall again be a Loan Party hereunder for
all purposes.
(d) At all times after the Borrower has satisfied the conditions of Conversion of a Designated
Guarantor as provided in Section 10.13(a) but prior to the release of such Designated Guarantor
from its Guaranty, all reports required to be furnished under Section 7.1 hereof or any other
provisions of this Agreement shall exclude such Designated Guarantor as a Loan Party hereunder
unless and until such Designated Guarantor is reinstated as a Loan Party as provided in this
Section 10.13.
10.14. USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that
pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the
Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.
10.15. Stepdown Provisions. For the sake of clarity, it is acknowledged and agreed
that, with respect to Sections 7.1(viii), 7.1(x), 7.19 and 7.28, if the Company’s Consolidated
EBITDA for a period of four fiscal quarters is less than zero and the level for the Leverage Ratio
has stepped down under such Sections as provided therein, and after delivery of a Compliance
Certificate evidencing that the Company’s Consolidated EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ending
as of the end of a subsequent fiscal quarter is not less than zero, then the level for the Leverage
Ratio (including whether the covenant in Section 7.28.2 relating to the Borrowing Base is
applicable) shall automatically for such subsequent quarter (and periods thereafter) revert back to
its initial level under such Sections, subject to
such level once again stepping down if in subsequent four quarter periods the Company’s
Consolidated EBITDA is less than zero.
72
ARTICLE XI
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
11.1. Appointment and Authority.
(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank to act on its behalf as the
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and, other than as expressly set forth herein, neither the
Borrower nor any other Loan Party hereto shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of
such provisions.
(b) Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Facility Letters
of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all
of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article XI with
respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by each Issuing Bank in connection with Facility
Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements
for letters of credit pertaining to such Facility Letters of Credit as fully as if the term
“Administrative Agent” as used in this Article XI and in the definition of “Related Parties”
included each Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally
provided herein with respect to each Issuing Bank.
11.2. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder
shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”
shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the
Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and
its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any
other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder
and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
11.3. Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby
or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as
directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents),
provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action
that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Laws; and
(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents,
have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or
obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity.
73
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.1 and 9.2) or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to
have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the
Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire
into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance
of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
11.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,
consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message,
Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been
made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Facility
Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing
Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or an
Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such
Lender or an Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Facility Letter
of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for
any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.
11.5. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through
any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent (other than Disqualified
Institutions). The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The
exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties
of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities
in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as
activities as Administrative Agent.
11.6. Resignation of Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at
any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, an Issuing Bank and the Borrower. If the
Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, either the
Required Lenders or the Borrower may, upon ten (10) days’ notice remove the Administrative Agent.
Upon receipt of any such notice of removal or resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the
right, with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed and shall not be required if any Default has occurred and is continuing, to appoint a
successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York City, or an Affiliate of any such bank
with an office in New York City. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after receipt of such removal
notice or the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring or
removed Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if any Default has occurred and is
continuing, on behalf of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative
Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above provided that if the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then
such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and
(1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral
security held
74
by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or each Issuing Bank under any
of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral
security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent
shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph.
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring (or retired) or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees
payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to
its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the
retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.6 shall continue in effect for the
benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective
Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the
retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
11.7. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each
Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related
Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate,
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder.
11.8. No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of
the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or any other Agent listed on the cover
page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender
or an Issuing Bank hereunder.
11.9. Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.
(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no
violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations
or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized
that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in
particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative
Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any
of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any
other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent
is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative
agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional
individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative
Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).
(b) Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by
any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the
Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all
such reasonably requested instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent, at no cost
to the Borrower. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be
exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative
Agent.
75
11.10. Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to
reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent, solely in its capacity as such, ratably, in their
respective Revolving Credit Ratable Shares, (a) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative
Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (b) for any other
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including,
without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any
dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and
(c) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan
Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated
thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender
or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan
Documents or of any such other documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall
be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Lenders under
this Section 11.10 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
11.11. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have actual
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder (other than a
Default under Section 8.2) unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a
Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and
stating that such notice is a “notice of default” or that such notice is delivered pursuant to
Section 7.3 hereof. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the
Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.
11.12. Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for its own account, the fees agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter or as otherwise agreed by them from time to time.
11.13. Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrower, the Company and the Lenders agree that
the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its
Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees)
which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of
the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is
entitled under Articles X and XI.
11.14. Agent’s Responsibilities and Duties. None of the Agents shall have any
responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as an Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, none of
the Agents shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with the Borrower or any
Lender.
ARTICLE XII
SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS
12.1. Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders
under applicable law, if the Borrower or the Company becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any
Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final
and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by
any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender to or for the credit or account of the Borrower or the
Company may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender,
whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.
12.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility, whether by
setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility
(other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 or payments made in respect
of Competitive Bid Loans or Swing Line Advances in accordance with Section 2.10(b) or as otherwise
expressly set forth herein) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender under
the Revolving Credit Facility, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of
the Revolving Credit Ratable Loans held by the other Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility so
that after such purchase each Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility will hold its ratable
proportion of
Revolving Credit Ratable Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. If any Lender under the
Revolving Credit Facility, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to
setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations under the
Revolving Credit Facility or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees,
promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders under the Revolving
Credit Facility share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans under
the Revolving Credit Facility. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or
otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.
76
ARTICLE XIII
BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
13.1. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Company and the Lenders and their
respective successors and assigns, except that (a) neither the Borrower nor the Company shall have
the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (b) any assignment by
any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3 (such assignee, an “Eligible Assignee”).
Notwithstanding clause (b) of this Section, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the
Borrower, the Company or the Administrative Agent, assign, pledge or grant a security interest in
all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, any Note, any Guarantee Agreement or any
other Loan Document to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such
assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations
hereunder. The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any
Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with
Section 13.3 in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other transfer, a written
notice of the transfer is filed with the Administrative Agent. Any assignee or transferee of the
rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such transfer or assignment to be bound by
all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any
Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of
the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be
conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of the rights to such Loan.
13.2. Participations.
13.2.1. Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its
business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell (i) to any Person participating
interests in any Competitive Bid Loan held by such Lender, and (ii) to a Qualified Bank or, while a
Default has occurred and is continuing, to any Person (other than the Company, Borrower or any
Affiliate thereof)) (“Participant”) participating interests in any Ratable Loan owing to such
Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Revolving Commitment of such Lender or any other interest
of such Lender under the Loan Documents. The consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
shall be required prior to a sale of a participating interest described in clause (ii) above
becoming effective with respect to a Participant (except a sale of a participating interest by a
Lender to its Affiliate or in the case of the consent of the Borrower only, a participating
interest to another Lender or an Affiliate thereof); provided, however, that if a
Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required. Such
consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event of any such sale by a Lender
of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents
shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for
the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Loans and the holder
of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts
payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold
such participating interests, and the Borrower, the Company and the Administrative Agent shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under the Loan Documents. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely
for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters
the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts)
of each participant’s interest in the Loans (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each
person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the participation such
person is shown as owning, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
77
13.2.2. Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without
the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan
Documents except that any participation agreement may provide that the applicable Lender will not,
without the consent of the Participant, approve any amendment, modification or waiver with respect
to any Loan or the Revolving Credit Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which
forgives principal, interest or fees or reduces the interest rate or fees payable with respect to
any such Loan or Revolving Credit Commitment, extends the Revolving Credit Facility Termination
Date under the Revolving Credit Facility (except as provided in Section 2.17), postpones any date
fixed for any regularly-scheduled payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, any such Loan or
Revolving Credit Commitment, releases any Guarantor (except for a release of a Designated Guarantor
as provided in Section 10.13) of any such Loan or releases all or substantially all of the
collateral, if any, securing any such Loan.
13.2.3. Benefit of Setoff. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed
to have the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1 in respect of its participating interest in
amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating
interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each
Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1 with respect to the amount of
participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each
Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1,
agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of
setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 12.2 as if each Participant were a
Lender.
13.3. Assignments.
13.3.1. Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business
and in accordance with applicable law (and, in the case of any assignment of the Swing Line
Commitment, in compliance with Section 13.3.3), at any time assign to a Qualified Bank (or, while a
Default has occurred and is continuing, to any Person (other than the Company, Borrower or any
Affiliate thereof)) (“Purchaser”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan
Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit M or in such
other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto (an “Assignment and Assumption”). Except as
otherwise hereinafter provided, the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each of
the Arrangers shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a
Purchaser (except an assignment by a Lender to its Affiliates or in the case of the consent of the
Borrower only, an assignment to another Lender or an Affiliate thereof); provided,
however, that if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower
shall not be required. Unless each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower otherwise consents
(except that, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall not be
required), (a) each such assignment (other than an assignment of a Competitive Bid Loan) shall
(unless it is an assignment of a Lender’s entire interest the Revolving Credit Facility) be in an
amount not less than $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000, and (b), except as
otherwise hereinafter provided, no assignment shall be made that would reduce the Revolving Credit
Commitment of a Lender and its Affiliates (in the aggregate) to an amount less than the greater of
(i) $10,000,000 or (ii) thirty-five percent (35%) of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment as
of the date of this Agreement or as of any later date on which it first became a Lender hereunder
(or, in the case of this clause (ii), such lesser amount to which the Borrower may, in its sole
discretion, agree in writing); provided that while a Default has occurred and is continuing
clause (b) of this sentence shall not apply. Any consents of the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent or the Arrangers under this Section 13.3.1 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless
it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within eight (8) calendar
days after having received written notice thereof.
13.3.2. Effect, Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of an
Assignment and Assumption, together with any consents required by Section 13.3.1, and (ii) payment
of a $3,500 fee to the Administrative Agent for processing such assignment, such assignment shall
become effective on the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption. On and after
the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Revolving Credit
Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders
and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender under the Loan
Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or
action by any Loan Party, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required to release the
transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the
78
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment
assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 13.3.2, the transferor Lender, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that
its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as
appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as
appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts
reflecting their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.
Such transferor Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5,
4.9 and 10.6(b) (to the extent such Lender’s entitlement to such benefit arose out of its position
as a Lender prior to the applicable assignment). The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this
purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans owing to
each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive
absent manifest error, and the Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Lenders shall treat each person
whose name is recorded in the Register as the Lender with respect to the Loans shown in the
Register as owing to such person, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
13.3.3. Swing Line Commitment. The Swing Line Commitment may be assigned only to an
Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or to a successor Administrative Agent.
13.4. Dissemination of Information. The Borrower and the Company authorize each
Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the
Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all
information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower, the
Company and its Subsidiaries; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee
agrees in writing to be bound by Section 10.11 of this Agreement.
13.5. Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any
Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or
any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5(d).
ARTICLE XIV
NOTICES
14.1. Notices.
(a) Except as otherwise permitted by Section 2.12, all notices, requests and other
communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including electronic transmission,
facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party: (x) in the case of
the Borrower, the Company or the Administrative Agent, at the address(es) or facsimile number(s)
set forth on the signature pages hereof, (y) in the case of any Lender, at its address or facsimile
number set forth in its administrative questionnaire delivered to the Administrative Agent or (z)
in the case of any party, at such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter
specify for the purpose by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 14.1. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be
effective (i) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the facsimile number
specified in this Section during the applicable recipient’s normal business hours and confirmation
of receipt is received, (ii) if given by mail, 72 hours after such communication is deposited in
the mails with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid, or (iii) if given by any other
means, when delivered (or, in the case of electronic transmission during the applicable recipient’s
normal business hours, received) at the address specified in this Section; provided that
notices to the Administrative Agent or Swing Line Lender under Article II or an Issuing Bank or the
Administrative Agent under Article IV shall not be effective until received.
(b) So long as Citibank or any of its Affiliates is the Agent, such materials as the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent may agree in their sole discretion shall be delivered to the
Administrative Agent in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders by e-mail at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx. The Borrower agrees that the
Administrative Agent may make such materials, as well as any other written information, documents,
instruments and other material relating to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other
materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby (other than any Notice of Borrowing, Competitive Bid Borrowing Notice, Facility Letter of
Credit Notice,
79
Ratable Borrowing Notice, Rate Option Notice, Swing Line Borrowing Notice, request for Conversion or
continuation of any Revolving Credit Advance, Revolving Credit Ratable Advances or notices
constituting service of process or relating to legal process) (collectively, the “Communications”)
available to the Lenders by posting such notices on DebtDomain or a substantially similar
electronic system (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution of
material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality
and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as
available” and (iii) no Agent Party (as defined below) warrants the accuracy, adequacy or
completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for
errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express,
implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code
defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no
event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have
any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind,
including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, indirect or consequential damages,
losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the
Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through the internet, except to the extent
the liability of any Agent Party is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent Party’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
(c) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the
Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of
the Communications to the Agent for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees that
notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications
have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents
or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that, if
requested by any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to
such Lender by e-mail or facsimile. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in
writing of such Lender’s e-mail address(es) to which a Notice may be sent by electronic
transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a
party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent
has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to
such e-mail address(es) as such Lender shall instruct. The Administrative Agent agrees that it
will, upon any Lender’s reasonable request, furnish materials posted on the Platform to such Lender
in hard copy to such Lender’s address set forth on the signature pages hereof.
(d) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give
any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in
such Loan Document.
14.2. Change of Address. The Borrower, the Company, the Administrative Agent and any
Lender may each change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the
other parties hereto.
ARTICLE XV
COUNTERPARTS
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together
shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing
any such counterpart. This Agreement shall be effective when it has been executed by the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each party has notified the Administrative Agent by
facsimile transmission or telephone that it has taken such action.
ARTICLE XVI
CHOICE OF LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
16.1. CHOICE OF LAW. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINING A CONTRARY

NATIONAL BANKS.
80
16.2. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS

OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THE BORROWER AND THE COMPANY
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND
DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THEY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS
TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS
AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
16.3. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER, THE COMPANY AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR

RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.

For the purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the
final paragraph of this Schedule:
“Financials” means the annual or quarterly financial statements of the Company
delivered pursuant to Section 6.4 or Section 7.1(i) or (ii).
“Level” means the level (whether I, II, III, IV or V) in the foregoing table that
corresponds to an applicable item in any other column in the foregoing table. By way of
illustration, the Rating Level of Level IV is BB+/Bal. For purposes of comparing Levels,
Level I is referred to as the lowest Level and Level V as the highest Level.
“Pricing Level” means, with respect to the Applicable Margins, at any date, the Level
in the foregoing table that corresponds to the lower of (a) the then current Level of the
Rating and (b) the then current Level of the Leverage Ratio, unless (i) the Level of the
Leverage Ratio and the Level of the Rating differ by two or more Levels, in which event the
Pricing Level shall be one Level lower than the higher of such two Levels or (ii) the
Company has no Qualified Rating from a Qualified Rating Agency, in which event the Pricing
Level shall be one Level higher than the Level of the Leverage Ratio.
The Applicable Margins shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing table based on the
then current Pricing Level. Adjustments, if any, in the Applicable Margins resulting from a change
in the Leverage Ratio shall be effective five Business Days after the Administrative Agent has
received the applicable Financials. If the Borrower fails to deliver the Financials to the
Administrative Agent at the time required pursuant to Section 7.1, then, until five days after such
Financials are so delivered, the Applicable Margins shall be at the Level of the Rating or, if the
Company has no Qualified Rating from a Qualified Rating Agency, at the highest Pricing Level set
forth in the foregoing table. If the annual Financial Statements at any time delivered pursuant to
Section 7.1(i) result in a Pricing Level that is higher than the Pricing Level that was in effect
at any time on or after the first day of the third calendar month (the “Adjustment Date”) following
the fiscal year to which such Financial Statements apply, there shall be a retroactive adjustment
of the Pricing Level to the Adjustment Date such that all interest and fees determined hereunder
from and after the Adjustment Date shall be determined as if such higher Pricing Level were in
effect on the Adjustment Date. To the extent that the Borrower has theretofore made any payments
of interest or fees with respect to the period from and after such Adjustment Date, the Borrower
will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, within ten (10) days of
request therefor, an amount equal to the amount by which (A) the amount of interest and fees that
would have been payable hereunder, on any date on which payments were made hereunder on or after
the Adjustment Date and on or before the date of such request, had such payments been based upon
the higher Pricing Level exceed (B) the interest and fees actually paid on any such date. Interest
and fees payable hereunder after such request shall be based upon the adjusted Pricing Level. The
Rating in effect on any date for the purposes of this Pricing Schedule is that in effect at the
close of business on such date.

Re: |
|
Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof,
among First Huntingdon Finance Corp. (the “Borrower”), Toll
Brothers, Inc. (the “Company”), the lenders party thereto (collectively,
the “Lenders”), Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the other
agent(s) party thereto |
Gentlemen:
I am the General Counsel of the Borrower, the Company and the subsidiaries of the Company
identified on the signature pages to the Guaranty Agreement referred to herein (such subsidiaries,
the “Designated Guarantors”; together with the Borrower and the Company, the “Loan Parties”), and
have acted in that capacity in connection with the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement
and the transactions contemplated thereby. This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section
5.1(ix) of the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise defined in this opinion, capitalized terms are
used herein as defined in the Credit Agreement.
In so acting, I, or people under my supervision, have examined executed originals or
counterparts of the following documents, each dated the date hereof (the “Loan Documents”):
|
(a) |
|
the Credit Agreement; |
|
|
(b) |
|
the Notes executed in connection with the
closing of the Credit Agreement; and |
|
|
(c) |
|
the Guaranty Agreement made by the Company and
the Designated Guarantors. |
I, or people under my supervision, have also examined, and relied upon without independent
verification the accuracy of factual matters contained in, originals or copies, certified or
otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such corporate records, agreements and other documents,
and of certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives
of the Loan Parties and have made such examinations of law and reviewed such documents as I have
deemed necessary in connection with the opinions set forth below.
When the phrase “to my knowledge” or an equivalent phrase is used in this opinion, its purpose
is to limit the statements it qualifies to my actual knowledge after such inquiry as I deemed
appropriate. I have not examined any records of any court, administrative tribunal or other
similar entity in connection with my opinion.
I have assumed the legal capacity and competence of natural persons, the genuineness of all
signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to
original documents of documents submitted to me as certified, conformed, photostatic or facsimile
copies and the completeness of all documents reviewed by me.
I have also assumed, without verification, that each of the Designated Guarantors is validly
subsisting and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation or formation.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, limitations and
qualifications set forth herein, I am of the opinion that:
1. Each of the Designated Guarantors is an entity validly formed under the laws of the state
of its formation and has the corporate, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may
be, power to carry on its business as such business is known to me.
2. Each of the Designated Guarantors has the corporate, partnership or limited liability
company, as the case may be, power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under
the Guaranty Agreement and to incur the obligations provided therein, and has taken all corporate,
partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, action necessary to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of the Guaranty Agreement.
3. The Guaranty Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Designated
Guarantor party thereto.
To my knowledge, there is no litigation or governmental proceeding pending or overtly
threatened in writing against any Loan Party that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
I express no opinion as to the law of any jurisdiction other than the federal law of the
United States, the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and the Delaware Limited
Liability Company Act.
A copy of this opinion may be delivered by you to each financial institution that may become a
Lender under the Credit Agreement, and such persons may rely on this opinion to the same extent as
— but to no greater extent than — the addressees. This opinion may be relied upon by you and such
persons to whom you may deliver copies as provided in the preceding sentence only in connection
with the consummation of the transactions described herein and may not be used or relied upon by
you or any other person for any other purpose, without in each instance my prior written consent.
This opinion is limited to the matters expressly stated herein. No implied opinion may be
inferred to extend this opinion beyond the matters expressly stated herein. I do not undertake to
advise you or anyone else of any changes in the opinions expressed herein resulting from changes in
law, changes in facts or any other matters that hereafter might occur or be brought to my
attention.
Sincerely,
Xxxx X. XxXxxxxx

Re: |

Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof,
among First Huntingdon Finance Corp. (the “Borrower”), Toll Brothers, Inc. (the
“Company”), the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), Citibank,
N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the other agents party thereto |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to the Borrower, the Company, Toll Holdings, Inc. (the “Delaware
Guarantor”), Toll Brothers AZ Limited Partnership (the “Arizona Guarantor”) and the other
subsidiaries of the Company identified on the signature pages to the Guaranty Agreement referred to
herein (such subsidiaries, including the Delaware Guarantor and the Arizona Guarantor, the
“Designated Guarantors”; together with the Borrower and the Company, the “Loan Parties”), in
connection with the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby. This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 5.1(ix) of the Credit
Agreement. Unless otherwise defined in this opinion, capitalized terms are used herein as defined
in the Credit Agreement. The Delaware Guarantor and the Arizona Guarantor are referred to
collectively herein as the “Material Opinion Guarantors.”
In so acting, we have examined executed originals or counterparts of the following documents,
each dated the date hereof (the “Loan Documents”):
the Credit Agreement;
the Notes executed in connection with the closing of the Credit
Agreement; and
the Guaranty Agreement made by the Company and the Designated
Guarantors.
We have reviewed such documents and made such examination of law as we have deemed appropriate
to give the opinions set forth below. We have relied, without independent verification, on
certificates of public officials, and, as to matters of fact material to our opinions
also without independent verification, on representations made in the Loan Documents and
certificates and other inquiries of officers of the Loan Parties.

When the phrase “to our knowledge” or an equivalent phrase is used in this opinion, its
purpose is to limit the statements it qualifies to the actual knowledge of lawyers in this firm
responsible for preparing this opinion after such inquiry as they deemed appropriate. We have not
examined any records of any court, administrative tribunal or other similar entity in connection
with our opinion.
We have assumed the legal capacity and competence of natural persons, the genuineness of all
signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to
original documents of documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic, electronic or
facsimile copies, and the completeness of all documents reviewed by us. We have also assumed,
without independent verification (i) that each of the Designated Guarantors, other than the
Material Opinion Guarantors, is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state
of its incorporation or formation, (ii) that the execution, delivery and performance of the
Guaranty Agreement by each of the Designated Guarantors, other than the Material Opinion
Guarantors, does not violate its organizational or formation documents (including, as applicable,
its certificate or articles of incorporation, certificate of formation, by-laws, limited liability
company agreement and/or partnership agreement), (iii) that the parties to the Loan Documents and
the other agreements, instruments and documents executed in connection therewith, other than the
Borrower, the Company and the Material Opinion Guarantors, have the power (including, without
limitation, corporate power where applicable) and authority to enter into and perform the Loan
Documents and such other agreements, instruments and documents, (iv) the due authorization,
execution and delivery by such parties other than the Borrower, the Company and the Material
Opinion Guarantors, of each Loan Document and such other agreements, instruments and documents, and
(v) that the Loan Documents and such other agreements, instruments and documents constitute legal,
valid and binding obligations of each such party, other than the Loan Parties, enforceable against
each such other party in accordance with their respective terms.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, limitations and
qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
Each of the Borrower, the Company and the Delaware Guarantor is a corporation validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the corporate power to carry
on its business as such business is known to us. The Arizona Guarantor is a limited partnership
validly existing under the laws of the State of Arizona and has the limited partnership power to
carry on its business as such business is known to us. The Company is qualified as a foreign
corporation in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Each of the Borrower, the Company and the Delaware Guarantor has the corporate power and
authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party
and to incur the obligations provided therein, and has taken all corporate action necessary to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party.
The Arizona Guarantor has the limited partnership power and authority to enter into and perform its
obligations under the Guaranty
Agreement and to incur the obligations provided therein, and has taken all limited partnership
action necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Guaranty Agreement.

October 22, 2010
Page 3
The execution and delivery by each of the Borrower, the Company and the Material Opinion
Guarantors of the respective Loan Documents to which it is a party do not and the performance of
the obligations thereunder will not (a) violate its Certificate of Incorporation, Certificate of
Formation, Bylaws or Limited Partnership Agreement, as applicable, as now in effect, (b) violate
(i) any present statute, rule or regulation promulgated by the United States or the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania,(ii) with regard to the Borrower, the Company and the Delaware Guarantor, the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iii) with regard to the Arizona Guarantor, the
Arizona Uniform Limited Partnership Act, which in each case in our experience is normally
applicable both to entities which are not engaged in regulated business activities and to
transactions of the type contemplated by the Loan Documents, or (c) breach or result in a default
under those agreements appearing on Schedule I to this Opinion (collectively, the “Reviewed
Documents”), or result in the creation or imposition of any security interest in or lien or
encumbrance upon any of the assets of the Borrower, the Company or any Material Opinion Guarantor
pursuant to the Reviewed Documents. In rendering the opinion in clause (c), we also have assumed
(x) without independent investigation that the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will
not result in a violation of covenants containing financial ratios in the Reviewed Documents or any
other provisions of the Reviewed Documents to which the Borrower, the Company or a Material Opinion
Guarantor is a party that are based upon the financial statements or the financial condition of any
of the Loan Parties and (y) based on a certificate of an officer of the Company, that each of the
Designated Guarantors is also a guarantor under the Indentures referred to in Schedule I.
The execution, delivery and performance at the date hereof by each of the Designated
Guarantors (other than the Material Opinion Guarantors) of the Loan Documents to which it is a
party do not (a) violate (i) any present statute, rule or regulation promulgated by the United
States or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or (ii) with respect to those Designated Guarantors
formed under the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company laws of the State of
Delaware, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Delaware Revised Uniform
Limited Partnership Act or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, which in either case in our
experience is normally applicable both to entities which are not engaged in regulated business
activities and to transactions of the type contemplated by the Loan Documents, or (b) breach or
result in a default under the Reviewed Documents, or result in the creation or imposition of any
security interest in or lien or encumbrance upon, any of the assets of such Designated Guarantor
pursuant to the Reviewed Documents. In rendering the opinion in clause (b), we also have assumed
(x) without independent investigation that the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will
not result in a violation of covenants containing financial ratios in the Reviewed Documents or any
other provisions of the Reviewed Documents to which a Designated Guarantor is a party that are
based upon the financial statements or the financial condition of any of the Loan Parties and (y)
based on a certificate of an officer of the Company, that each of the Designated Guarantors is also
a guarantor under the Indentures referred to in Schedule I.
Each Loan Document to which it is a party has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of
the Borrower, the Company and each Material Opinion Guarantor. Each Loan Document constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Loan Parties which is party thereto, enforceable
against such Loan Parties in accordance with its respective terms.
No order, consent, authorization or approval of, or notice to or filing or registration with,
any federal or state regulatory authority of the United States or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
or under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act or the Arizona Uniform Limited
Partnership Act is required by any Loan Party in connection with the execution or delivery by any Loan Party of any
of the Loan Documents or the payment of any Loan Party’s obligations under the Loan Documents.

We are not representing the Borrower, the Company or any Material Guarantor in any pending
litigation in which it is a named defendant, or in any litigation that is overtly threatened in
writing against it by a potential claimant, that challenges the validity or enforceability of, or
seeks to enjoin the performance of, the Loan Documents.
The foregoing opinions are subject to the following exceptions, limitations and
qualifications:
Our opinion is subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, marshalling or
similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally; general principles of
equity, including without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith
and fair dealing (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law); and limitations on enforceability of rights to indemnification or
contribution by federal or state securities laws or regulations or by public policy.
We express no opinion as to the application or requirements of federal or state
securities, patent, trademark, copyright, antitrust and unfair competition, pension or
employee benefit, labor, environmental, health and safety or tax laws in respect of the
transactions contemplated by or referred to in the Loan Documents.
We express no opinion as to the validity or enforceability of any provision of the Loan
Documents which (i) permits a Lender or the Administrative Agent to increase the rate of
interest or to collect a late charge in the event of delinquency or default to the extent
they are deemed to be penalties or forfeitures; (ii) purports to grant a Lender or the
Administrative Agent a power-of-attorney; (iii) purports to require that waivers must be in
writing to the extent that an oral agreement or implied agreement by trade practice or
course of conduct modifying provisions of the Loan Documents has been made; (iv) purports to
be a waiver of the right to a jury trial, a waiver of any right to object to jurisdiction or
venue, a waiver of any right to claim damages or to service of process or a waiver of any
other rights or benefits bestowed by operation of law or the waiver of which is limited by
applicable law; (v) purports to be a waiver of the obligations of good faith, fair dealing,
diligence, mitigation of damages or commercial reasonableness; (vi) purports to exculpate
any party from its own negligent acts or limit any party from certain liabilities; (vii)
purports to require the payment of attorneys’ fees to the extent such fees exceed reasonable
attorneys’ fees; or (viii) purports to authorize a Lender or the Administrative Agent to set
off and apply any deposits at any time held, and any other indebtedness at any time owing,
by such Lender or the Administrative Agent to or for the account of a Loan Party or which
purports to provide that any purchaser of a participation from a Lender may exercise setoff
or similar rights with respect to such participation.
We express no opinion as to the enforceability of forum selection clauses upon the
courts in the forum selected.
We express no opinion as to the law of any jurisdiction other than the federal law of the
United States, the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, the Delaware Limited
Liability Company Act, the Arizona Uniform Limited Partnership Act and, with respect to the second
sentence of Opinion Paragraph 5, the State of New York.

FORM OF GUARANTY
This GUARANTY (“Guaranty”) is made as of October 22, 2010 by the undersigned (the
“Guarantors”), in favor of the “Lenders” under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October
22, 2010, among First Huntingdon Finance Corp., Toll Brothers, Inc., the Lenders from time to time
parties thereto and Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent. Such Credit
Agreement, as it may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, is hereinafter
referred to as the “Credit Agreement.” Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.
1. Guaranty. (i) For value received and in consideration of any loan, advance or financial
accommodation of any kind whatsoever heretofore, now or hereafter made, given or granted to the
Borrower by the Lenders, the Guarantors unconditionally, jointly and severally guarantee for the
benefit of each of the Lenders the full and prompt payment when due, whether at maturity or
earlier, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all of the
Obligations (including, without limitation, interest accruing following the filing of a bankruptcy
petition by or against any Loan Party, at the applicable rate specified in the Credit Agreement,
whether or not such interest is allowed as a claim in bankruptcy).
(ii) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Guarantors
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, on written demand and in
immediately available funds, the full amount of the Obligations then due. The Guarantors further
agree to pay to the Administrative Agent and reimburse the Administrative Agent for, on demand and
in immediately available funds, (a) all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees, costs and expenses)
paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in: (1) endeavoring to collect
all or any part of the Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any one or more of
the Guarantors relating to this Guaranty; (2) taking any action with respect to any security or
collateral securing any of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder; and (3) preserving, protecting or
defending the enforceability of, or enforcing, this Guaranty or their respective rights hereunder;
provided, that, the Guarantors shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than
one counsel, plus separate counsel for the Administrative Agent and its affiliates and separate
counsel for each Arranger and its affiliates plus, if necessary, one special counsel for each
relevant specialty and one local counsel per jurisdiction; provided, further that,
in the event of any actual or potential conflict of interest, the Guarantors shall be liable for
the fees and expenses of one additional counsel for each person subject to such conflict (all such
costs and expenses are hereinafter referred to as the “Expenses”). The Guarantors hereby agree
that this Guaranty is an absolute guaranty of payment and is not a guaranty of collection.
2. Obligations Unconditional. Subject to Sections 11 and 12 hereof
the Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations under this Guaranty shall be unconditional,
irrespective of: (i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance, novation or subordination of any of
the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents; (ii) the absence of any attempt by, or on behalf of,
any Lender or the Administrative Agent to collect, or to take any other action to enforce, all or
any part of the Obligations whether from or against the Borrower, any other guarantor of the
Obligations or any other person; (iii) the election of any remedy by, or on behalf of, any Lender
or the Administrative Agent with respect to all or any part of the Obligations; (iv) the waiver,
consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by, or on behalf of, any Lender or
the Administrative Agent with respect to any provision of any of the Loan Documents; (v) the
election by, or on behalf of, any one or more of the Lenders, in any proceeding instituted under
Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. 101 et seq.) (the
“Bankruptcy Code”), of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (vi) any
borrowing or grant of a security interest by the Borrower, as debtor-in-possession, under Section
364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (vii) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of
all or any portion of the claims of any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent
for repayment of all or any part of the Obligations or any Expenses; or (viii) any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the
Borrower or any one or more of the Guarantors.
3. Enforcement; Application of Payments. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Default, the Administrative Agent may proceed directly and at once, without
notice, against any one or more of the Guarantors to obtain performance of and to collect and
recover the full amount, or any portion, of the Obligations then due, without first proceeding
against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person, or against any security or
collateral for the Obligations. Subject only to the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement,
the Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right to determine the application of payments
and credits, if any, from the Guarantors, the Borrower or from any other Person on account of the
Obligations or any other liability of the Guarantors to any Lender.
4. Waivers. (a) The Guarantors hereby waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing
of claims with a court in the event of receivership or bankruptcy of the Borrower or the Company,
protest or notice with respect to the Obligations, all setoffs and counterclaims and all
presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest,
notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and all other demands whatsoever
(and shall not require that the same be made on the Borrower or the Company as a condition
precedent to the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder), and covenants that this Guaranty will not be
discharged, except by complete payment (in cash) and performance of the Obligations and any other
obligations contained herein. The Guarantors further waive all notices of the existence, creation
or incurring of new or additional indebtedness, arising either from additional loans extended to
the Borrower or otherwise, and also waive all notices that the principal amount, or any portion
thereof, and/or any interest on any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the
Obligations is due, notices of any and all proceedings to collect from the maker, any endorser or
any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, or from any other Person, and, to the
extent permitted by law, notices of exchange, sale, surrender or other handling of any security or
collateral given to the Agent to secure payment of all or any part of the Obligations.
(b) The Guarantors understand that they shall be liable for the full amount of their liability
under this Guaranty, notwithstanding the occurrence of any event impairing the rights of the
Guarantors, the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to proceed against the Borrower, any
other guarantor (including without limitation any Guarantor hereunder) or the Borrower’s or such
guarantor’s property. The Guarantors agree that all of their obligations under this Guaranty
(including their obligation to pay in full all indebtedness evidenced by or arising under the
Credit Agreement) shall remain in full force and effect without defense, offset or counterclaim of
any kind, notwithstanding that the Guarantors’ rights against the Borrower may be impaired,
destroyed or otherwise affected by reason of any action or inaction on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender.
(c) The Lenders, either themselves or acting through the Administrative Agent, are hereby
authorized, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of the Guarantors
hereunder, from time to time, (i) to renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for
payment of, or other terms relating to, all or any part of the Obligations, or to otherwise modify,
amend or change the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (ii) to accept partial payments on all or
any part of the Obligations; (iii) to take and hold security or collateral for the payment of all
or any part of the Obligations, this Guaranty, or any other guaranties of all or any part of the
Obligations or other liabilities of the Borrower, (iv) to exchange, enforce, waive and release any
such security or collateral; (v) to apply such security or collateral and direct the order or
manner of sale thereof as in their discretion they may determine; and (vi) to settle, release,
exchange, enforce, waive, compromise or collect or otherwise liquidate all or any part of the
Obligations, this Guaranty, any other guaranty of all or any part of the Obligations, and any
security or collateral for the Obligations or for any such guaranty. Any of the foregoing may be
done in any manner, without affecting or impairing the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder.
5. Setoff. At any time when all or any part of the Obligations have become due and payable
(by acceleration or otherwise) following the occurrence of a Default, each Lender and the
Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Guarantors and regardless of the acceptance of any
security or collateral for the payment hereof, appropriate and apply toward the payment of all or
any part of the Obligations (i) any indebtedness due or to become due from such Lender or the
Administrative Agent to any one or more of the Guarantors, and (ii) any moneys, credits or other
property belonging to any one or more of the Guarantors, at any time held by or coming into the
possession of such Lender or the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates.
6. Financial Information. The Guarantors hereby assume responsibility for keeping
themselves informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and any and all endorsers and/or
other guarantors of all or any part of the Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon
the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations, or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal,
and the Guarantors hereby agree that none of the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall have
any duty to advise the Guarantors of information known to any of them regarding such condition or
any such circumstances. In the event any Lender, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or
from time to time to provide any such information to any one or more of the Guarantors, such Lender
shall be under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business
routine, (ii) to disclose any information which such Lender, pursuant to accepted or reasonable
commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other
or future disclosures of such information or any other information to any one or more of the
Guarantors.
7. No Marshalling; Reinstatement. The Guarantors consent and agree that none of the
Lenders nor the Administrative Agent nor any Person acting for or on behalf of the Lenders or the
Administrative Agent shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Guarantors
or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. The Guarantors further agree that, to
the extent that the Borrower, any one or more of the Guarantors or any other guarantor of all or
any part of the Obligations makes a payment or payments to any Lender or the Administrative Agent,
which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to the Borrower, any one or more
of the Guarantors, such other guarantor or any other Person, or their respective estates, trustees,
receivers or any other party, including, without limitation, the Guarantors, under any bankruptcy
law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or
repayment, the part of the Obligations which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount
shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the time immediately preceding
such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction.
8. Subordination. Until the Obligations have been paid in full and the Aggregate Revolving
Credit Commitment has been terminated, the Guarantors (i) shall have no right of subrogation with
respect to such Obligations, (ii) waive any right to enforce any remedy which the Lenders or the
Administrative Agent (or any of them) now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower, any
endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations or any other Person, and (iii)
waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent (or any of them) to secure the payment or performance of all
or any part of the Obligations or any other liability of the Borrower to the Lenders.
9. Subordination. (a) Subordinated Debt. The payment and performance of all
indebtedness, fees, expenses, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower (or any other Person for
the benefit of Borrower) to the Guarantors whether now existing or hereafter incurred or created,
in each case, whether such amounts are due or not due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent
(the “Subordinated Debt”) are hereby subordinated to the Obligations and, except as set forth in
subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 9 the Guarantors will not
accelerate, ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive from the Borrower, by setoff or in any other
manner, the whole or any part of the Subordinated Debt, including, without limitation, the taking
of any negotiable instruments evidencing such amounts, nor any security for any of the Subordinated
Debt, unless and until all of the Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied
in cash and all financing arrangements among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall have been terminated.
(b) Permitted Payments. Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of
this Section 9, in the absence of a “Default” and provided that the payment
described below, if made, would not otherwise give rise to the occurrence of a Default, the
Borrower may pay to the Guarantors, and the Guarantors may accept from the Borrower, any and all
payments of the Subordinated Debt (“Permitted Payments”).
(c) Enforcement Rights. The Guarantors, prior to the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of all financing arrangements among the Borrower and the Lenders,
shall have no right to enforce any claim with respect to the Subordinated Debt, including, without
limitation, any Permitted Payment, or otherwise to take any action against the borrower or the
Borrower’s Property without the Administrative Agent’s prior written approval.
10. Enforcement; Amendments; Waivers. No delay on the part of any of the Lenders or
the Administrative Agent in the exercise of any right or remedy arising under this Guaranty, the
Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to all or any part of
the Obligations or any other guaranty of or security for all or any part of the Obligations shall
operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by any such Person of any such right
or remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof. No modification or waiver of any of the
provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, except
as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered by the party making such modification
or waiver. Failure by any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent at any time or times
hereafter to require strict performance by the Borrower, the Guarantors, any other guarantor of all
or any part of the Obligations or any other Person of any of the provisions, warranties, terms and
conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents now or at any time or times hereafter executed by
such Persons and delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall not waive, affect or
diminish any right of the Administrative Agent or such Lender at any time or times hereafter to
demand strict performance thereof and such right shall not be deemed to have been waived by any act
or knowledge of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or their respective agents, officers or
employees, unless such waiver is contained in an instrument in writing, directed and delivered to
the Borrower or the Guarantors, as applicable, specifying such waiver, and is signed by the party
or parties necessary to give such waiver under the Credit Agreement. No waiver of any Default by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or the same
Default on a future occasion, and no action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender permitted
hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights and
remedies or the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty. Any determination by a court of
competent jurisdiction of the amount of any principal and/or interest owing by the Borrower to any
of the Lenders shall be conclusive and binding on the Guarantors irrespective of whether any of the
Guarantors was party to the suit or action in which such determination was made.
11. Limitation on Obligations. The following provisions of this Guaranty apply with
respect to all Guarantors other than Toll Brothers, Inc.:
(a) The provisions of this Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding
involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations
of any Guarantor under this Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable,
invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor’s liability under this
Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, the
amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantors, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest
amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such
highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”).
This Section 11(a) with respect to the Maximum Liability of
the Guarantors, is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent
hereunder to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and neither
the Guarantors nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this
Section 11(a) with respect to the Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary
so that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under
applicable law.
(b) Each of the Guarantors agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and
from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor, and may exceed the
aggregate Maximum Liability of all other Guarantors, without impairing this Guaranty or
affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder. Nothing in this
Section 9(b) shall be construed to increase any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder
beyond its Maximum Liability.
(c) In the event any Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or
payments under this Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon
any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Guaranty, each other
Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an
amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” of such payment or payments
made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, each
Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying
Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by
reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date
(without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution
hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the
aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrower after
the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate
Maximum Liability of all Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such
date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution
hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any
Guarantors, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Guarantors from the Borrower
after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in
this Section 11(c) shall affect any Guarantor’s several liability for the entire
amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of
the Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this
Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to
all the Guaranteed Obligations. The provisions of this Section 11(c) are for the
benefit of both the Administrative Agent and the Guarantors and may be enforced by any one,
or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.
12. Effectiveness; Termination. This Guaranty shall become effective upon its
execution by the Guarantors and shall continue in full force and effect and may not be terminated
or otherwise revoked until the Obligations shall have been fully paid (in cash) and discharged and
the Credit Agreement and all financing arrangements between the Borrower and the Lenders under the
Loan Documents shall have been terminated. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantors shall
have any right under applicable law to terminate or revoke this Guaranty, the Guarantors agree that
such termination or revocation shall not be effective until a written notice of such revocation or
termination, specifically referring hereto, signed by the Guarantors, is actually received by the
Administrative Agent. Such notice shall not affect the right and power of any of the Lenders or
the Administrative Agent to enforce rights arising prior to receipt thereof by the Administrative
Agent. If any Lender grants loans or takes other action after any of the Guarantors terminates or
revokes its obligations under this Guaranty but before the Administrative Agent receives such
written notice, the rights of such Lender with respect thereto shall be the same as if such
termination or revocation had not occurred.
13. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantors and
upon their successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns; all references herein to the
Borrower and to the Guarantors shall be deemed to include their respective successors and assigns.
The successors and assigns of the Guarantors and the Borrower shall include, without limitation,
their respective receivers, trustees or debtors-in-possession. All references to the singular
shall be deemed to include the plural where the context so requires.
14. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL
LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS
APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.
15. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE GUARANTORS HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK (OR THE STATE
COURTS SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE EVENT THE FEDERAL COURTS LACK SUBJECT
JURISDICTION) IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE GUARANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH
ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY
OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE GUARANTORS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WAIVES
ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE,
BETWEEN THE GUARANTORS AND THE LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED
OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. EITHER THE GUARANTORS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY FILE AN
ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS GUARANTY WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT
OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
17. Advice of Counsel. The Guarantors represent and warrant that they have consulted
with their legal counsel regarding all waivers under this Guaranty, including without limitation
those under Section 4 and Sections 14 through 16 hereof, that they believe
that they fully understand all rights that they are waiving and the effect of such waivers, that
they assume the risk of any misunderstanding that they may have regarding any of the foregoing, and
that they intend that such waivers shall be a material inducement to the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders to extend the indebtedness guaranteed hereby.
18. Notices. All notices and other communications provided to any party hereto shall be in
writing or by facsimile and addressed to such party at its address set forth below or at such other
address as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other party. Any notice, if mailed
and properly addressed with postage prepaid, shall be deemed given when received; any notice, if

19. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in
such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to
the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.
20. Merger. This Guaranty represents the final agreement of the Guarantors with respect to
the matters contained herein and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior or contemporaneous
agreements, or subsequent oral agreements, between the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent or
any Lender.
21. Supplemental Guaranties. Pursuant to Section 7.16 of the Credit Agreement,
additional Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of the Company shall become obligated as Guarantors hereunder

Supplemental Guaranty in the form of Exhibit A hereto (with blanks appropriately filled in),
together with such additional supporting documentation required pursuant to Section 7.16 of the
Credit Agreement.
