SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances. (a) Except as
otherwise provided in Section 2.16, each Borrowing shall be made on notice
given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the first Business Day
prior to the date of a proposed Borrowing
43
consisting of Base Rate Advances or the third Business Day prior to the date
of a proposed Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, by the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt
notice thereof by telecopier, telex or cable. Each such notice of a Borrowing
(a "Notice of Borrowing") shall be by telecopier, telex or cable, and, with
respect to a Notice of Borrowing by telex or cable, confirmed immediately
thereafter in writing, in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto,
specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Facility
under which such Borrowing is to be made, (iii) Type of Advances comprising
such Borrowing, (iv) aggregate amount of such Borrowing and (v) Interest
Period for each Eurodollar Rate Advance included in such Borrowing. In the
case of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender of the
applicable interest rate under Section 2.07(a)(ii). Each Appropriate Lender
shall, before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing,
make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Account, in same day funds,
such Lender's ratable portion of such Borrowing in accordance with the
respective Commitments under the applicable Facility of such Lender and the
other Appropriate Lenders. After the Administrative Agent's receipt of such
funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article
III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available by crediting the
Borrower's Account.
(b) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and
binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice
of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the
Borrower shall indemnify each Appropriate Lender against any loss, cost or
expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or
before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the
applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation,
any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the
Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance,
as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.
(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from an Appropriate Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing under a
Facility under which such Lender has a Commitment that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's ratable portion of
such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume, or at its option request
confirmation from such Lender, that such Lender has made such portion
available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in
accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative
Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption or confirmation (as the case may
be), make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If
and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion
available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally
agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the
date such
44
amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid
to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest
rate applicable at such time under Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such
Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the cost (expressed as a rate
per annum) to the Administrative Agent of funding such Lender's ratable
portion; provided, however, that, upon the request of such Lender, the
Administrative Agent shall provide such Lender with a certificate as to the
calculation of such amount. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative
Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such
Lender's Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
(d) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made
by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its
obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such
Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any
Borrowing.
(e) The Borrower may not request a Borrowing comprised of
Eurodollar Rate Advances or, pursuant to Section 2.11, Convert Base Rate
Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances or select a new Interest Period for
existing Eurodollar Rate Advances if, after the making or Conversion of such
Advances or the selection of such Interest Period, the number of outstanding
Borrowings comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances having different Interest
Periods (whether of different duration or commencing on different dates) would
exceed 6.
SECTION 2.03. Issuance of and Drawings and Reimbursement

Administrative Agent and each Tranche A Revolving Credit Lender prompt notice

Credit (a "Notice of Issuance") shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately

of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (B) Available Amount of such

Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such application and agreement
for letter of credit as such Issuing Bank may specify to the Borrower for use
in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a "Letter of Credit
Agreement"). If the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to
the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, the Issuing Bank will, upon
fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such
Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at its office referred to in
Section 8.02 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrower in connection with such
issuance. In
45
the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit
Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement
shall govern.
(b) Letter of Credit Reports. The Issuing Bank shall furnish
(A) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower on the first Business Day of
each week during which one or more Letters of Credit have been issued or drawn
upon, a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of
Credit issued during the previous week and drawings during such week under all
Letters of Credit issued, (B) to each Tranche A Revolving Credit Lender and
the Borrower on the first Business Day of each month a written report
summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued during

report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the
preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit.
(c) Drawing and Reimbursement. The payment by the Issuing
Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all
purposes of this Agreement the making by the Issuing Bank of a Letter of
Credit Advance, in the amount of such draft, which shall be a Base Rate
Advance until the third Business Day after the date which the Borrower shall
have delivered a L/C Certificate in respect of such Letter of Credit Advance
which specified that such Advance shall be a Eurodollar Advance. Upon written
demand by the Issuing Bank, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative
Agent, each Tranche A Revolving Credit Lender shall purchase from the Issuing
Bank, and the Issuing Bank shall sell and assign to each such Tranche A
Revolving Credit Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such outstanding
Letter of Credit Advance as of the date of such purchase, by making available
for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Issuing Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent's
Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding
principal amount of such Letter of Credit Advance to be purchased by such
Lender. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall
transfer such funds to the Issuing Bank. The Borrower hereby agrees to each
such sale and assignment. Each Tranche A Revolving Credit Lender irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding
Letter of Credit Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is
made by the Issuing Bank, provided notice of such demand is given not later
than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day or (ii) the first
Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given
after such time. Upon any such assignment by the Issuing Bank to any other
Lender of a portion of a Letter of Credit Advance, the Issuing Bank represents
and warrants to such other Lender that the Issuing Bank is the legal and
beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, free and clear of any
liens, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to such Letter of Credit Advance, the Loan
Documents or any Loan Party. If and to the extent that any Tranche A Revolving
Credit Lender shall not have so made the amount of
46
such Letter of Credit Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such
Tranche A Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day
from the date of demand by the Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid
to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its account or the
account of the Issuing Bank, as applicable. If such Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the Issuing Bank on any
Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a
Letter of Credit Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes
of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Letter of
Credit Advance made by the Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on
such Business Day.
(d) Failure to Make Letter of Credit Advances. The failure
of any Tranche A Revolving Credit Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance
to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not relieve
any other Tranche A Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to
make its Letter of Credit Advance on such date, but no Tranche A Revolving
Credit Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Tranche A
Revolving Credit Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by
such other Tranche A Revolving Credit Lender on such date.
SECTION 2.04. Repayment. (a) Tranche A Revolving Credit
Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable
account of the Tranche A Revolving Credit Lenders on the Tranche A Termination
Date the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A Revolving Credit Advances
then outstanding.
(b) Tranche B Revolving Credit Advances. The Borrower shall
repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Tranche B
Revolving Credit Lenders on the Tranche B Termination Date the aggregate

to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank and each other
Tranche A Revolving Credit Lender that has made a Letter of Credit Advance on
the Tranche A Termination Date the outstanding principal amount of each Letter

Borrower fails to deliver a L/C Certificate in respect of such Letter of
Credit Advance on the Business Day following the date on which the Issuing
Bank paid a draft drawn under a Letter of Credit which resulted in such Letter
of Credit Advance, the Borrower shall repay such Letter of Credit Advance on
demand.
(ii) The Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement,
any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating
to any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be
paid strictly in accordance with the terms
47
of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or
instrument under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the
following circumstances:

different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would
avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost and would
not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender Party. A certificate as to the amount of such
increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such
Lender Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.
(b) If any Lender Party determines that compliance with any
law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other
governmental or monetary authority in regard to capital adequacy (whether or
not having the force of law) including, without limitation, any guideline
contemplated by the report dated July 1988 entitled "International Convergence
of Capital Management and Capital Standards" issued by the Bank Committee on
Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices, in any case in which such law,
regulation, guideline or request became effective or was made after the date
hereof, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the
capital of, or maintained by, such Lender Party or any corporation controlling
such Lender Party as a consequence of such Lender Party's Advances or
Commitments hereunder or the issuance by it of any Letter of Credit and other
commitments of this type, by increasing the amount of capital required or
expected to be maintained by such Lender Party or any corporation controlling
such Lender Party, to a level below that which such Lender Party or any
corporation controlling such Lender Party could have achieved but for such
adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into account such Lender
Party's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy), then
the Borrower shall, from time to time, pay such Lender Party, upon demand by
such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent)
made within 60 days after the first date on which such Lender Party has actual
knowledge that it is entitled to make demand for payment under this Section
2.10(b) of such reduction in return, such additional amount as may be
specified by such Lender Party as being sufficient to compensate such Lender
Party for such reduction in return, to the extent that such Lender Party
reasonably determines such reduction to be attributable to the existence of
such Lender Party's commitment to lend or to issue Letters of Credit hereunder
or to the issuance or maintenance of any Letters of Credit; provided, however,
that if such Lender Party fails to so notify the Borrower within such 60-day
period, such amounts shall commence accruing on such later date on which the
Lender Party notifies the Borrower. A certificate as to such amounts submitted
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender Party shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
59
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental
authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar
Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate
Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, upon
written notice by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance under each Facility
under which such Lender has a Commitment will automatically Convert into a
Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation under each Facility under which such
Lender has a Commitment to make, or to Convert Base Rate Advances into,
Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such
suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that, before making any such
demand, such Lender shall designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if
the making of such a designation would avoid the need for giving such notice
and demand, and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender. For purposes of this Section 2.10(c), a notice
to the Borrower by a Lender shall be effective with respect to any Eurodollar
Rate Advance on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such
Advance; provided, however, that, if it is not lawful for such Lender to
maintain such Advance until the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto,
then the notice to the Borrower shall be effective upon receipt by the
Borrower.
SECTION 2.11. Conversion of Advances. (a) Optional. The
Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative
Agent not later than noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior
to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of
Section 2.08 and 2.10, Convert all or any portion of the Advances of one Type
comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; provided,
however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate
Advances shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for
such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into
Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be subject to the limitation set forth in
Section 2.02(e) and in an amount not less than $5,000,000 and each Conversion
of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing under any Facility shall be
made ratably among the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their
Commitments under such Facility. Each such notice of Conversion shall, within
the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion,
(ii) the Advances to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into
Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for such
Advances.
(b) Mandatory. (i) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be
reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $5,000,000, such
Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances.
60
(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default (or, in the case of any involuntary proceeding described in
Section 6.01(e), a Default), (A) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will
automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor,
Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (B) the obligation of the Lenders to
make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be
suspended.
SECTION 2.12. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower
shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes not later than 11:00
A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. Dollars to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Account in same day funds.
The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like
funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or commitment fees
ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.13) to the
Lender Parties for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices,
and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any
Lender Party to such Lender Party for the account of its Applicable Lending
Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording
of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section
8.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and
Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and
under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender
Party assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance
shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to
such effective date directly between themselves.
(b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender Party, if and
to the extent payment of principal, interest or fees owed to such Lender Party
is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender under the Note or
Notes held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of
the Borrower's accounts with such Lender Party any amount so due.
(c) All computations of interest based on the Eurodollar
Rate, the Base Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of commitment fees and
Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent, on the
basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period
for which such interest or commitment fees are payable. Each determination by
the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under any Note shall
be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be
made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in
such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment
fee, as the case may be; provided,
61
however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or
principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following
calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any
Lender Party hereunder or under any Note that the Borrower will not make such
payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume, or at its option request
confirmation from the Borrower, that the Borrower has made such payment in
full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such
Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such
Lender Party. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such
payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender Party shall repay to
the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such
Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such
amount is distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party
repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.
(f) If the Administrative Agent receives funds for
application to the Obligations under the Loan Documents under circumstances
for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Advances or the Facility to
which, or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute
such funds in respect of a Facility to each appropriate Lender Party ratably
in accordance with such Lender Party's proportionate share of the principal
amount of all outstanding Advances under such Facility, in repayment or
prepayment of such of the outstanding Advances under such Facility or other
Obligations owed to such Lender Party, and for application to such principal
installments, as the Administrative Agent shall direct.
SECTION 2.13. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the
Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with
Section 2.12, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present
or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender Party
and the Administrative Agent, (i) taxes imposed on its income, and franchise
taxes and backup withholding taxes imposed on it, by the United States or the
jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender Party or the Administrative
Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein, (ii) taxes imposed on its income, and franchise
taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender Party's or, in either
such case, the Administrative Agent's principal office or Applicable Lending
Office or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein and
(iii) United States withholding tax payable with respect to payments hereunder
under laws (including, without limitation any statute, treaty, ruling,
determination or regulation) in effect on the Initial Date with respect to
such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, but not excluding any United
States withholding tax payable as a result of any change in such laws
62
occurring after the Initial Date (all such non-excluded taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter
referred to as "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct
any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to
any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be
increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions of
Taxes (including deductions of Taxes applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 2.13) such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the
case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deductions of Taxes been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such
deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
law; provided, however, that any such Lender Party shall designate a different
Applicable Lending Office if, in the judgment of such Lender Party, such
designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any Taxes
required to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to
such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent and would not, in the judgment
of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party.
(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or
future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes,
charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under
the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise
with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as
"Other Taxes").
(c) The Borrower will indemnify each Lender Party and the
Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including,
without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on
amounts payable under this Section 2.13) paid by such Lender Party or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including
penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto; provided that, in the event such Lender Party or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, successfully contests the assessment
of such Taxes or Other Taxes or any liability arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent shall refund,
to the extent of any refund thereof made to such Lender Party or the
Administrative Agent, any amounts paid by the Borrower under this Section
2.13(c) in respect of such Taxes, Other Taxes or liabilities arising therefrom
or with respect thereto. Each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent agree
that it will contest such Taxes, Other Taxes or liabilities if (i) the
Borrower furnishes to it an opinion of reputable tax counsel acceptable to
such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent to the effect that such Taxes or
Other Taxes were wrongfully or illegally imposed and (ii) such Lender Party or
the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it would not
be disadvantaged or prejudiced in any manner whatsoever as a result of such
contest. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such
Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written
demand therefor.
63
(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes,
the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred
to in Section 8.02, appropriate evidence of payment thereof. If no Taxes are
payable in respect of any payment hereunder or under the Notes by the Borrower
from an account or branch outside the United States or on behalf of the
Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, the Borrower will
furnish to the Administrative Agent, at such address, a certificate from each
appropriate taxing authority, or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the
Administrative Agent, in either case stating that such payment is exempt from
or not subject to Taxes. For purposes of this Section 2.13, the terms "United
States" and "United States person" shall have the meanings specified in
Section 7701 of the Code.
(e) Each Lender Party organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction outside the United States and the Administrative Agent, if
organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, shall,
on or prior to the Initial Date and from time to time thereafter if requested
in writing by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but only so long
thereafter as such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent remains lawfully
able to do so), provide the Borrower and (in the case of any such Lender Party
other than the Administrative Agent) the Administrative Agent with two duly
completed copies of Internal Revenue Service form 1001 or 4224, as
appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service,
certifying that such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent is entitled to
benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party that
reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments under this Agreement or the
Notes or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement or
the Notes is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in
the United States.
(f) For any period with respect to which the Administrative
Agent or a Lender Party has failed to provide the Borrower with the
appropriate forms described in subsection (e) above (other than if such
failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which such
person was originally required to provide such forms, or if such forms are
otherwise not required under subsection (e) above), the Administrative Agent
or such Lender Party shall not be entitled to increased payments or
indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) above with respect to Taxes
imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should the
Administrative Agent or a Lender Party become subject to Taxes because of its
failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such
steps as the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party shall reasonably
request to assist the Lender Party to recover such Taxes if, in the judgment
of the Borrower such steps would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of,
any Taxes required to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder to the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party and would not, in
the judgment of the Borrower, be disadvantageous to the Borrower.
(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other
agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the
Borrower contained in this
64
Section 2.13 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest
hereunder and under the Notes.
(h) If a Lender Party shall change its Applicable Lending
Office other than (i) at the request of the Borrower or (ii) at a time when
such change would not result in this Section 2.13 requiring the Borrower to
make a greater payment than if such change had not been made, such Lender
Party shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under this Section
2.13 than such Lender Party would have been entitled to receive had it not
changed its Applicable Lending Office.
SECTION 2.14. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender Party
shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise
of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances owing to it
(other than pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.13) in excess of its ratable share
of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lender Parties,
such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender Parties such
interests or participating interests in the Advances owing to them as shall be
necessary to cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the excess payment
ratably with each of them; provided, however, that, if all or any portion of
such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party,
such purchase from each Lender Party shall be rescinded and such Lender Party
shall repay to the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of
such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender Party's ratable
share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender Party's
required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing
Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. The
Borrower agrees that any Lender Party so purchasing an interest or
participating interest from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.14
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of
payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or
participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender Party
were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such interest or
participating interest, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.15. Removal of Lender. In the event that any
Lender Party demands payment of costs or additional amounts pursuant to
Section 2.10 or Section 2.13 or asserts pursuant to Section 2.10(c) that it is
unlawful for such Lender Party to make Eurodollar Rate Advances, then (subject
to such Lender Party's right to rescind such demand or assertion within 10
days after the notice from the Borrower referred to below) the Borrower may,
upon 20 days' prior written notice to such Lender Party and the Administrative
Agent, elect to cause such Lender Party to assign its Advances and Commitments
in full to an assignee institution selected by the Borrower that meets the
criteria of an Eligible Assignee and is reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, so long as such Lender Party receives payment in full in
cash of the outstanding principal amount of all Advances made by it and all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other
65
amounts due and payable to such Lender Party as of the date of such assignment
(including without limitation amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.13),
and in such case such Lender Party agrees to make such assignment, and such
assignee shall agree to accept such assignment and assume all obligations of
such Lender Party hereunder, in accordance with Section 8.07.
SECTION 2.16. Defaulting Lender. (a) In the event that, at
any one time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such
Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Advance to the Borrower and (iii) the
Borrower shall be required to make any payment hereunder or under any other
Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the
Borrower may, so long as no Default shall occur or be continuing at such time
and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, set-off and otherwise
apply the Obligation of the Borrower to make such payment to or for the
account of such Defaulting Lender against the Obligation of such Defaulting
Lender to make such Defaulted Advance. In the event that the Borrower shall so
set-off and otherwise apply the Obligation of the Borrower to make any such
payment against the Obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make any such
Defaulted Advance on any date, the amount so set-off and otherwise applied by
the Borrower shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents an Advance by such Defaulting Lender made on such date under
the Facility pursuant to which such Defaulted Advance was originally required
to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01. Such Advance shall be considered,
for all purposes of this Agreement, to comprise part of the Borrowing in
connection with which such Defaulted Advance was originally required to have
been made pursuant to Section 2.01. The Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent at any time the Borrower reduces the amount of the
Obligation of the Borrower to make any payment otherwise required to be made
by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document as a result of the exercise
by the Borrower of its right set forth in this subsection (a) and shall set
forth in such notice (A) the name of the Defaulting Lender and the Defaulted
Advance required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and (B) the amount
set-off and otherwise applied in respect of such Defaulted Advance pursuant to
this subsection (a). Any portion of such payment otherwise required to be made
by the Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender which is paid
by the Borrower, after giving effect to the amount set-off and otherwise
applied by the Borrower pursuant to this subsection (a), shall be applied by
the Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (b) or (c) of this Section
2.16.
(b) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party
shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a
Defaulted Amount to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of
the other Lender Parties and (iii) the Borrower shall make any payment
hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent may, on its
behalf or on behalf of such other Lender Parties and to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, apply at such time the amount so paid by the
Borrower to or for
66
the account of such Defaulting Lender to the payment of each such Defaulted
Amount up to the amount required to pay such Defaulted Amount. In the event
that the Administrative Agent shall so apply any such amount to the payment of
any such Defaulted Amount on any date, the amount so applied by the
Administrative Agent shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents payment, to such extent, of such Defaulted Amount on
such date. Any such amount so applied by the Administrative Agent shall be
retained by the Administrative Agent or distributed by the Administrative
Agent to such other Lender Parties, ratably in accordance with the respective
portions of such Defaulted Amounts payable at such time to the Administrative
Agent and such other Lender Parties and, if the amount of such payment made by
the Borrower shall at such time be insufficient to pay all Defaulted Amounts
owing at such time to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the
other Lender Parties, in the following order of priority:
(i) first, to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent, ratably in accordance with such
respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent; and
(ii) second, to any other Lender Parties for any Defaulted
Amounts then owing to such other Lender Parties, ratably in
accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to such
other Lender Parties.
Any portion of such amount paid by the Borrower for the account of such
Defaulting Lender remaining, after giving effect to the amount applied by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection (b), shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (c) of this Section 2.16.
(c) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party
shall be Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall not owe a
Defaulted Advance or a Defaulted Amount and (iii) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender Party shall be
required to pay or distribute any amount hereunder or under any other Loan
Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower,
the Collateral Agent or such other Lender Party shall pay such amount to the
Administrative Agent to be held by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, in escrow or the Administrative Agent
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hold in escrow such
amount otherwise held by it. Any funds held by the Administrative Agent in
escrow under this subsection (c) shall be deposited by the Administrative
Agent in an account with Citibank, in the name and under the control of the
Administrative Agent, but subject to the provisions of this subsection (c).
The terms applicable to such account, including the rate of interest payable
with respect to the credit balance of such account from time to time, shall be
Citibank's standard terms applicable to escrow accounts maintained with it.
Any interest credited to such account from time to time
67
shall be held by the Administrative Agent in escrow under, and applied by the
Administrative Agent from time to time in accordance with the provisions of,
this subsection (c). The Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, apply all funds so held in escrow from time to
time to the extent necessary to make any Advances required to be made by such
Defaulting Lender and to pay any amount payable by such Defaulting Lender
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or any other Lender Party, as and when such Advances or
amounts are required to be made or paid and, if the amount so held in escrow
shall at any time be insufficient to make and pay all such Advances and
amounts required to be made or paid at such time, in the following order of
priority:
(i) first, to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent for any amount then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender
to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder,
ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and
payable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent;
(ii) second, to any other Lender Parties for any amount then
due and payable by such Defaulting Lender to such other Lender
Parties hereunder, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts
then due and payable to such other Lender Parties; and
(iii) third, to the Borrower for any Advance then required
to be made by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the Commitment of
such Defaulting Lender.
In the event that such Defaulting Lender shall, at any time, cease to be a
Defaulting Lender, any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow at
such time with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall be distributed by the
Administrative Agent to such Defaulting Lender and applied by such Defaulting
Lender to the Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents ratably in accordance with the
respective amounts of such Obligations outstanding at such time.
(d) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender
under this Section 2.16 are in addition to other rights and remedies which the
Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted
Advance and which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender
Party may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted
Amount.

basis of an Environmental Action against the Borrower or any of its
properties or (ii) cause any such property to be subject to any
restrictions on ownership, occupancy, use or transferability under
any Environmental Law that would, in the case of either (i) or (ii)
above, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (in the
case of clause (a) of the definition thereof, the term "Person" shall
refer to the Borrower).

been included in all tax returns (Federal, state, local and foreign)

"affiliated person" of, or "promoter" or "principal underwriter" for,
an "investment company", as such terms are defined in the Investment

ARTICLE VII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT
SECTION 7.01. Authorization and Action. Each Lender Party
(in its capacities as a Lender and the Issuing Bank (if applicable)) hereby
appoints and authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, by the
terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan
Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the
Notes), each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be
required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required
to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or
refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and
such instructions shall be binding upon all Lender Parties and all holders of
Notes; provided, however, that neither the Administrative Agent nor the
Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action which exposes the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to personal
liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. Each of
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agrees to give to each
Lender Party prompt notice of each notice and other report given to it by the
Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 7.02. Administrative Agent's and Collateral Agent's
Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor
any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees, shall be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in
connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the
foregoing, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent: (i) may
treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative
Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the
Lender that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee,
as assignee, as provided in Section 8.07; (ii) may consult with legal counsel
(including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other
experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any
Lender Party and shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for any
statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or
in connection with the Loan Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to
ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the
terms, covenants or conditions of the Loan Documents on the part of the
Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the
Borrower; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender
100
Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security
interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with the
Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;
and (vi) shall incur no liability under or in respect of the Loan Documents by
acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing
(which may be by telecopier, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be
genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
SECTION 7.03. Citibank and Affiliates. With respect to its
Commitments, the Advances made by it and the Note issued to it, Citibank shall
have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender
Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent
or the Collateral Agent and the term "Lender Party" or "Lender Parties" shall,
unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Citibank hereunder in its
individual capacity. Citibank and its affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking
engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, the
Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or
own securities of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, all as if Citibank were
not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and without any duty to
account therefor to the Lender Parties.
SECTION 7.04. Lender Party Credit Decision. Each Lender
Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon either
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any other Lender Party and
based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(f) and such
other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender Party
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender Party and based
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement.
SECTION 7.05. Indemnification. (a) Each Lender Party
severally agrees to indemnify each of the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent (in each case to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the
Borrower) from and against such Lender Party's ratable share (determined as
provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be,
in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action
taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the
case may be, under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender Party
shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent's or the Collateral
Agent's gross negligence or
101
willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party
agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent promptly
upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower
under Section 8.04, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, is not promptly reimbursed for such
costs and expenses by the Borrower. For purposes of this Section 7.05(a), the
Lender Parties' respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined,
at any time, according to the sum of (a) the aggregate principal amount of the
Advances outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lender Parties,
(b) their respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Available Amount of all
Letters of Credit outstanding at such time and (c) their respective Unused
Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments and Unused Tranche B Revolving Credit
Commitments at such time; provided that the aggregate principal amount of
Letter of Credit Advances owing to the Issuing Bank shall be considered to be
owed to the Tranche A Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with
their respective Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments. In the event that any
Defaulted Advance shall be owing by any Defaulting Lender at any time, such
Lender Party's Commitment with respect to the Facility under which such
Defaulted Advance was required to have been made shall be considered to be
unused for purposes of this Section 7.05(a) to the extent of the amount of
such Defaulted Advance. The failure of any Lender Party to reimburse the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent promptly upon demand for its
ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Party to the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, as provided
herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to
reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may
be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, for such
other Lender Party's ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the
survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement
and obligations of each Lender Party contained in this Section 7.05(a) shall
survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts
payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
(b) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify the
Issuing Bank (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and
against such Lender Party's ratable share (determined as provided below) of
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the
Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or
any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents;
provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of
such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Issuing Bank's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing,
each Lender Party agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank promptly upon demand
for its
102
ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees
and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 8.04, to the
extent that the Issuing Bank is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and
expenses by the Borrower. For purposes of this Section 7.05(b), the Lender
Party's respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any
time, according to the sum of (a) the aggregate principal amount of the
Advances outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lender Parties,
(b) their respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Available Amount of all
Letters of Credit outstanding at such time plus (c) their respective Unused
Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments and Unused Tranche B Revolving Credit
Commitments at such time; provided that the aggregate principal amount of
Letter of Credit Advances owing to the Issuing Bank shall be considered to be
owed to the Tranche A Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with
their respective Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments. In the event that any
Defaulted Advance shall be owing by any Defaulting Lender at any time, such
Lender Party's Commitment with respect to the Facility under which such
Defaulted Advance was required to have been made shall be considered to be
unused for purposes of this Section 7.05(b) to the extent of the amount of
such Defaulted Advance. The failure of any Lender Party to reimburse the
Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required
to be paid by the Lender Parties to the Issuing Bank as provided herein shall
not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse
the Issuing Bank for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse
the Issuing Bank for such other Lender Party's ratable share of such amount.
Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party
hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this
Section 7.05(b) shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and
all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 7.06. Successor Administrative Agent and Collateral
Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign at
any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lender Parties and the
Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by, in the case
of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and, in the case of the
Collateral Agent, the Marvel IV Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or
removal, the Required Lenders or the Marvel IV Required Lenders shall have the
right to appoint, with the consent of the Borrower, a successor Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent, respectively, which shall be a Lender, or if no
Lender consents to act as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the
case may be, hereunder, an institution that would be permitted to be an
Eligible Assignee hereunder. If no successor Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders or the Marvel IV Required Lenders, as the case may be, and
shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent's or Collateral Agent's giving of notice of resignation
or the Required Lenders' or the Marvel IV Required Lenders' removal of the
retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, then the retiring
Administrative Agent, or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may, on behalf
of the Lender
103
Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the
case may be, which shall be a commercial bank that is acceptable to the
Borrower (which shall not unreasonably withhold its approval). Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as
the case may be, thereunder by a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent, as the case may be, such successor Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative
Agent's or Collateral Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article VII
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Documentation Agent, the
Syndication Agent and each Lender Party and each of their affiliates and their
officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents and advisors (each, an
"Indemnified Party") from and against any and all claims, damages, losses,
liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against
any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by
reason of (or in connection with the preparation for a defense of) any
investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related to or in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby,
whether or not an Indemnified Party is a party thereto, whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, whether or not any such
claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or
any other person and whether or not such Indemnified Party is a Lender Party
at such time) except (i) to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or
expense (x) is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction (a "Final Judgment") to have resulted from such
Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct or (y) arises from
any legal proceedings commenced against any Lender Party by any other Lender
Party (in its capacity as such and not as Administrative Agent, Collateral
Agent, Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent), and (ii) in the case of any
litigation brought by the Borrower (A) seeking a judgment against any
Indemnified Party for any wrongful act or omission of such Indemnified Party
and (B) in which a Final Judgment is rendered in the Borrower's favor against
such Indemnified Party, the provisions of this paragraph will not be available
to provide indemnification for any damage, loss, liability or expense incurred
by such Indemnified Party in connection with such litigation described in
clause (i) or in connection with any claim for which Final Judgment is
rendered in the Borrower's favor in a litigation described in clause (ii) of
this Section 8.04(c).
SECTION 8.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the
request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize
the Administrative Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the
provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender Party is hereby authorized at any time
and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and
apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such
Lender Party to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any
and all of the obligations of the Borrower to such Lender Party now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note or Notes held by such
Lender Party, whether or not such Lender Party shall have made any demand
under this Agreement or such Note or Notes and although such obligations may
be unmatured. Each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after
any such set-off and application shall be made by such Lender Party, provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application; provided further that no Lender Party shall exercise
any such right of set-off or any other right of set-off without the
107
prior consent of the Administrative Agent. The rights of each Lender Party
under this Section 8.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Lender
Party may have.
SECTION 8.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been
notified by each Financial Institution that such Financial Institution has
executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and their
respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the
right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.
SECTION 8.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Each
Lender may and, if demanded by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15, will
assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a
portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held
by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a
uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and
in respect of one or more Facilities; (ii) the amount of the Commitment of the
assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined
as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such
assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 and shall be an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, or shall be an assignment to another
Lender or an assignment of all of the assigning Lender's rights and
obligations hereunder and under the Notes, (iii) each such assignment shall be
to another Lender, an Affiliate of the assigning Lender or to an Eligible
Assignee, (iv) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15 shall be arranged by the Borrower after
consultation with the Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment
of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this
Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made
concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that
together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under
this Agreement, (v) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment
as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15 unless and
until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the
Borrower or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least
equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to
such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of
such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this
Agreement, (vi) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register,
an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such
assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,000 from the assignee
and (vii) no such assignments shall be permitted without the consent of the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower (such
108
consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Upon such execution, delivery,
acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to
it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations
of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the
extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant
to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from
its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto).
(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and
Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm
to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i)
other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning
Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in
connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning
Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or
observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or
any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such
assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with
copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(f) and such
other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance;
(iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other
Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking
or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it
is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each of
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent
on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may
be, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in
accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this
Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address
referred to in Section 8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered
to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the
Advances owing under each Facility to, each Lender from time to time (the
"Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for
109
all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an
Eligible Assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment,
the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been
completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept
such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein
in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Within
five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own
expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for
the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note or Notes to the order of such
Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under a
Facility pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning
Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder under such Facility, a new Note to
the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to such Commitment
retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered
Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and
Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A.
(e) The Issuing Bank may assign to an Eligible Assignee all
of its rights and obligations under the undrawn portion of its Letter of
Credit Commitment at any time; provided, however, that (i) except in the case
of an assignment to a Person that immediately prior to such assignment was an
Issuing Bank or an assignment of all of an Issuing Bank's rights and
obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Letter of Credit
Commitment of the assigning Issuing Bank being assigned pursuant to each such
assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with
respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $3,000,000 and
shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) each
such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iii) the parties to each
such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its
acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3000 and (iv) no such
assignments shall be permitted without the consent of the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).
(f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks
or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its
Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it);
provided, however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this
110
Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower
hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for
all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such
participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any
provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by the
Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or
consent would reduce or postpone any date fixed for payment of principal of,
or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in
each case to the extent subject to such participation.
(g) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section
8.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender
by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure,
the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree
pursuant to an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I to preserve
the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower
received by it from such Lender.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this
Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the
Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal
Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.
SECTION 8.08. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.
(a) This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any
New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting
in New York City, and any appellate court thereof, in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the
extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto
agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
or in any other manner provided by law. Subject to the foregoing and to
paragraph (c) below, nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any
party hereto
111
may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement against any other party hereto in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any
suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any
New York State or Federal court and the defense of an inconvenient forum to
the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) The Borrower agrees that service of process may be made
on the Borrower by personal service of a copy of the summons and complaint or
other legal process in any such suit, action or proceeding, or by registered
or certified mail (postage prepaid) to the address of the Borrower specified
in Section 8.02, or by any other method of service provided for under the
applicable laws in effect in the State of New York.
SECTION 8.09. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may
be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.10. No Liability of the Issuing Bank. The Borrower
assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of
any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither
the Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or
responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any
acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith;
(b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any
endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all
respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by the
Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the
terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any
reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other
circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter
of Credit, except that the Borrower shall have a claim against the Issuing
Bank, and the Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of
any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower that the
Borrower proves were caused by (i) the Issuing Bank's willful misconduct or
gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under any Letter
of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) the Issuing
Bank's willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after
the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the
terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank may accept
112
documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for
further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the
contrary.
SECTION 8.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER,
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE DOCUMENTATION AGENT, THE
SYNDICATION AGENT AND THE LENDER PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT,
TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS,
THE ADVANCES OR THE ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT,
THE DOCUMENTATION AGENT, THE
SYNDICATION AGENT OR ANY LENDER PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION,
PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

Dear Sirs:
We understand that Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") is acting as

connection with our evaluation of a proposed purchase of a participation in,
or acceptance of an assignment of, a portion of the Advances and Commitments,
Citibank and/or a Lender or an affiliate of Citibank or a Lender have
furnished, and will furnish, us with a copy of the Fourth Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit Agreement and non-public information concerning the Borrower
and the Bank (all such non-public information, whether furnished before or
after the date of this letter, and including, without limitation, the
financial model referred to below, collectively the "Transaction
Information").
2
We agree to keep confidential (and to cause our officers, directors,
employees, agents and representatives to keep confidential) all Transaction
Information and, in the event we do not participate or accept an assignment
under the Fourth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, at
Citibank's, such Lender's or the Borrower's request, to return (and to cause
such other person to return) to Citibank, such Lender or the Borrower, as the
case may be, all written Transaction Information and all copies thereof,
extracts therefrom and analyses and other materials based thereon, except that
we shall be permitted to disclose details of the Transaction Information (i)
to such of our officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives
(which agents and representatives shall not include any financial
institutions) and legal or other advisors who need to know such information in

agree to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein; (ii) to the extent
required by applicable laws and regulations or by any subpoena or similar
legal process (provided that we will promptly notify the Borrower of such
requirement as far in advance of its disclosure as is practicable to enable
the Borrower to seek a protective order and, to the extent practicable, we
will cooperate with the Borrower in seeking any such order), or requested by
any governmental agency or authority having jurisdiction over us (provided
that we will first inform the Borrower of any such request other than those
from bank regulatory authorities or examiners and, in either case, we will
inform any such agency or authority that such information is subject to this
letter agreement); (iii) to the extent Citibank and the Borrower shall have
consented to such disclosure in writing; and (iv) to the extent that a public

The undertakings contained herein are for your benefit and the
benefit of the Borrower.
Upon its receipt of this confidentiality letter signed by us, we
understand that Citibank or a Lender may forward to us a financial model for
the periods through 1999 pertaining to the Borrower and the Bank. Such
information will subsequently form part of the Transaction Information for all
purposes hereunder.
We understand that the financial model was prepared in good faith by
Mafco's management based on assumptions believed to be reasonable when made.
However, because assumptions as to future results are inherently subject to
uncertainty and contingencies

beyond Mafco's control, actual results of the Borrower and the Bank may be
higher or lower.

Section 2.15, each Borrowing shall be made on notice given not later than 11:00
A.M. (New York City time) on the first Business Day prior to the date of a
proposed Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances or the third Business Day
prior to the date of a proposed Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate
Advances, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each
Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier, telex or cable. Each such notice of

hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii)
Facility under which such Borrowing is to be made, (iii) Type of Advances

the case of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the

the Administrative Agent's Account, in same day funds, such Lender's ratable
portion of such Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent's receipt of such
funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article
III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available by crediting the
Borrower's Account.
(b) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the
Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing
specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall
indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender
as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such
Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in

by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part

on such date.
(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's ratable portion of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume, or at its option request
confirmation from such Lender, that such Lender has made such portion available

available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the

to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to
repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount

calculation of such amount. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative
Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such
Lender's Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
(d) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as
part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if
any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender
shall be responsible for
38
the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other
Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

Rate Advances or, pursuant to Section 2.10, Convert Base Rate Advances into

among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments with respect to such
Facility. Any Net Cash Proceeds remaining after the foregoing application shall

(vi) The Borrower shall, on each date that an "Event of Default" set

expenses of the "Administrative Agent" under the Revolving Credit Agreement
(including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to such Administrative

the "Facilities" under the Revolving Credit Agreement and such pro rata amount
shall be applied to the Facilities as set forth in this Section 2.05(b)(vii).
(viii) If, as a result of the making of any prepayment required to be
made pursuant to this Section 2.05, the Borrower would incur costs pursuant to
Section 8.04(b), the Borrower may deposit the amount of such prepayment with
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in a cash collateral
account, until the end of the applicable Interest Period at which time such
payment shall be made. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all amounts in which the
Borrower has any right, title or interest which are from time to time on
deposit in such cash collateral account and expressly waives all rights (which
rights the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees are vested exclusively in
the Administrative Agent) to exercise dominion or control over any such
amounts.
SECTION 2.06. Interest. (a) Ordinary Interest. The Borrower shall pay
interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender
from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in
full, at the following rates per annum:
(i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a
Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of
the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin
in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the first
Business Day of each March, June,
44
September and December during such periods, commencing March 3, 1997,
and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in
full.
(ii) Eurodollar Rate Advances. During such periods as such
Advance is a Eurodollar Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times
during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of the
Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin in
effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last day of such
Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more
than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period
every three months from the first day of such Interest Period.
(b) Default Interest. The Borrower shall pay on demand interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each Advance that is not paid when due and on the
unpaid amount of all interest, fees and other amounts then due and payable
hereunder that is not paid when due from the due date thereof to the date paid,
at a rate per annum equal at such time to (i) in the case of any amount of
principal, 2% per annum above the rate of interest per annum required to be
paid on such Advance immediately prior to the date on which such amount became
due and payable and (ii) in the case of all other amounts, 2% per annum above
the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to
Section 2.06(a)(i) above.
SECTION 2.07. Interest Rate Determination. (a) The Administrative
Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and each Lender of the
applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of
Section 2.06(a)(i) or (ii), and the applicable rate, if any, furnished by
Citibank for the purpose of determining the applicable interest rate under
Section 2.06(a)(i) or (ii).
(b) If Citibank cannot furnish timely information to the
Administrative Agent for determining the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative
Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and each Lender that the interest
rate cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, whereupon (i) each
such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then
existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii)
the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar
Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify
the Borrower that Citibank has determined that the circumstances causing such
suspension no longer exist.
(c) If the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the
Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances will
not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or
maintaining their pro rata shares of such Eurodollar Rate Advances for such
Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the
Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will
automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest
45
Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of
the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances
shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower
that such Required Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such
suspension no longer exist.
(d) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest
Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions
contained in the definition of "Interest Period" in Section 1.01, the
Administrative Agent will forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders and the
Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances will be one month.
SECTION 2.08. Fees. (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders a commitment fee on the
average daily unused Tranche A Term Commitment of such Lender, from the date
hereof, in the case of each Financial Institution, and from the effective date
specified in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a
Lender, in the case of each other Lender, until the Tranche A Termination Date
at a rate equal to 1/2 of 1% per annum, payable in arrears on the date of the
Tranche A Term Borrowing, thereafter quarterly on the first Business Day of
each March, June, September and December commencing March 3, 1997 and on the
Tranche A Termination Date. The Borrower further agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders a commitment fee on the
average daily unused Tranche B Term Commitment of such Lender, from the date
hereof, in the case of each Financial Institution, and from the effective date
specified in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a
Lender, in the case of each other Lender, until the Tranche B Termination Date
at a rate equal to 1/2 of 1% per annum, payable in arrears on the date of the
initial Tranche B Term Borrowing, thereafter quarterly on the first Business
Day of each March, June, September and December commencing March 3, 1997 and on
the Tranche B Termination Date.
(b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
its own account such fees as are set forth in the fee letter dated December 16,
1996 between Mafco and Citibank, as the same may be amended or otherwise
modified from time to time.
SECTION 2.09. Increased Costs; Illegality. (a) Except as to taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings or liabilities with respect
thereto (it being understood that the Borrower shall not have any liability for
any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings or liabilities
with respect thereto, except as provided in Section 2.12), if, due to either
(i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of
imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the Eurodollar Rate
Reserve Percentage) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or
(ii) the compliance by any Lender with any guideline or request from any
central bank or other governmental authority in any case introduced, changed,
interpreted or requested after the date hereof
46
(whether or not having the force of law), there shall be (x) imposed, modified
or deemed applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets held by, or letters of credit or guarantees issued by, or
deposits in or for the account of, any Lender or (y) imposed on any Lender any
other condition relating to this Agreement or the Advances made by it, and the
result of any event referred to in clause (x) or (y) shall be to increase the
cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
Eurodollar Rate Advances, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon
demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent)
made within 60 days after the first date on which such Lender has actual
knowledge that it is entitled to make demand for payment under this Section
2.09(a), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender
additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased
cost; provided, however, that if such Lender fails to so notify the Borrower
within such 60-day period, such increased cost shall commence accruing on such
later date on which the Lender notifies the Borrower; provided further that,
before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use its best efforts
(consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to
designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a
designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased
cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate as to the amount of such
increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such
Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error.
(b) If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or
regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other
governmental or monetary authority in regard to capital adequacy (whether or
not having the force of law) including, without limitation, any guideline
contemplated by the report dated July 1988 entitled "International Convergence
of Capital Management and Capital Standards" issued by the Bank Committee on
Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices, in any case in which such law,
regulation, guideline or request became effective or was made after the date
hereof, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the
capital of, or maintained by, such Lender or any corporation controlling such
Lender as a consequence of such Lender's Advances or Commitments hereunder and
other commitments of this type, by increasing the amount of capital required or
expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such
Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or any corporation controlling
such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or
compliance (taking into account such Lender's or such corporation's policies
with respect to capital adequacy), then the Borrower shall, from time to time,
pay such Lender, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent) made within 60 days after the first date on which such
Lender has actual knowledge that it is entitled to make demand for payment
under this Section 2.09(b) of such reduction in return, such additional amount
as may be specified by such Lender as being sufficient to compensate such
Lender for such reduction in return, to the extent that such Lender reasonably
47
determines such reduction to be attributable to the existence of such Lender's
commitment to lend hereunder; provided, however, that if such Lender fails to
so notify the Borrower within such 60-day period, such amounts shall commence
accruing on such later date on which the Lender notifies the Borrower. A
certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental
authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending
Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or
to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, upon written
notice by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance of such Lender will automatically
Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation under each Facility
under which such Lender has a Commitment to make, or to Convert Base Rate
Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that,
before making any such demand, such Lender shall designate a different
Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the
need for giving such notice and demand, and would not, in the judgment of such
Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. For purposes of this
Section 2.09(c), a notice to the Borrower by a Lender shall be effective with
respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance on the last day of the then current
Interest Period for such Advance; provided, however, that, if it is not lawful
for such Lender to maintain such Advance until the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, then the notice to the Borrower shall be effective upon
receipt by the Borrower.
SECTION 2.10. Conversion of Advances. (a) Optional. The Borrower may
on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later
than noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of
the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Section 2.07 and 2.09,
Convert all or any portion of the Advances of one Type comprising the same
Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that any
Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made
on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate
Advances, and any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate
Advances shall be subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2.02(e) and in
an amount not less than $5,000,000. Each such notice of Conversion shall,
within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such
Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is
into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for
such Advances.
48
(b) Mandatory. (i) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced,
by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $5,000,000, such Advances
shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances.
(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default (or, in the case of any involuntary proceeding described in Section
6.01(e), a Default), (A) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on
the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base
Rate Advance and (B) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert
Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.
SECTION 2.11. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make
each payment hereunder and under the Notes not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York
City time) on the day when due in U.S. Dollars to the Administrative Agent at
the Administrative Agent's Account in same day funds. The Administrative Agent
will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the
payment of principal or interest or commitment fees ratably (other than amounts
payable pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.12) to the Lenders for the account of
their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the
payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the
account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an
Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in
the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(c), from and after the effective date
specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall
make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest
assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such
Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such
payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.
(b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent
payment of principal, interest or fees owed to such Lender is not made when due
hereunder or, in the case of a Lender under the Note or Notes held by such
Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower's
accounts with such Lender any amount so due.
(c) All computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate, the
Base Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of commitment fees shall be made by the
Administrative Agent, on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the
actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day)
occurring in the period for which such interest or commitment fees are payable.
Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
49
(d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under any Note shall be stated
to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the
case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of
interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next
following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding
Business Day.
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender
hereunder or under any Note that the Borrower will not make such payment in
full, the Administrative Agent may assume, or at its option request
confirmation from the Borrower, that the Borrower has made such payment in full
to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender on
such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the
extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the
Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such
Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative
Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.
(f) If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the
Obligations under the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan
Documents do not specify the Advances or the Facility to which, or the manner
in which, such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall
not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds in respect of a Facility to
each appropriate Lender ratably in accordance with such Lender's proportionate
share of the principal amount of all outstanding Advances under such Facility,
in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Advances under such
Facility or other Obligations owed to such Lender, and for application to such
principal installments, as the Administrative Agent shall direct.
SECTION 2.12. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower
hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.11,
free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the
Administrative Agent, (i) taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes and
backup withholding taxes imposed on it, by the United States or the
jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent
(as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein, (ii) taxes imposed on its income, and franchise
taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender's or, in either such
case, the Administrative Agent's principal office or Applicable Lending Office
or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein and (iii)
United States withholding
50
tax payable with respect to payments hereunder under laws (including, without
limitation any statute, treaty, ruling, determination or regulation) in effect
on the Initial Date with respect to such Lender or the Administrative Agent,
but not excluding any United States withholding tax payable as a result of any
change in such laws occurring after the Initial Date (all such non-excluded
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being
hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required by law
to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under
any Note to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall
be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions
of Taxes (including deductions of Taxes applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 2.12) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case
may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions of Taxes been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and
(iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law; provided,
however, that any such Lender shall designate a different Applicable Lending
Office if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation would avoid the
need for, or reduce the amount of, any Taxes required to be deducted from or in
respect of any sum payable hereunder to such Lender or the Administrative Agent
and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to
such Lender.
(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future
stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or
similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or
from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to,
this Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").
(c) The Borrower will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative
Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without
limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts
payable under this Section 2.12) paid by such Lender or the Administrative
Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to
tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided
that, in the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be,
successfully contests the assessment of such Taxes or Other Taxes or any
liability arising therefrom or with respect thereto, such Lender or the
Administrative Agent shall refund, to the extent of any refund thereof made to
such Lender or the Administrative Agent, any amounts paid by the Borrower under
this Section 2.12(c) in respect of such Taxes, Other Taxes or liabilities
arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Each Lender and the Administrative
Agent agree that it will contest such Taxes, Other Taxes or liabilities if (i)
the Borrower furnishes to it an opinion of reputable tax counsel acceptable to
such Lender or the Administrative Agent to the effect that such Taxes or Other
Taxes were wrongfully or illegally imposed and (ii) such Lender or the
Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it would not be
disadvantaged or prejudiced in any manner whatsoever as a
51
result of such contest. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from
the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes
written demand therefor.
(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the
Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to
in Section 8.02, appropriate evidence of payment thereof. If no Taxes are
payable in respect of any payment hereunder or under the Notes by the Borrower
from an account or branch outside the United States or on behalf of the
Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, the Borrower will
furnish to the Administrative Agent, at such address, a certificate from each
appropriate taxing authority, or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the
Administrative Agent, in either case stating that such payment is exempt from
or not subject to Taxes. For purposes of this Section 2.12, the terms "United
States" and "United States person" shall have the meanings specified in Section
7701 of the Code.
(e) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the
United States and the Administrative Agent, if organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction outside the United States, shall, on or prior to the Initial Date
and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent (but only so long thereafter as such Lender or the
Administrative Agent remains lawfully able to do so), provide the Borrower and
(in the case of any such Lender other than the Administrative Agent) the
Administrative Agent with two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service
form 1001 or 4224, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender or the Administrative
Agent is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United
States is a party that reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments under
this Agreement or the Notes or certifying that the income receivable pursuant
to this Agreement or the Notes is effectively connected with the conduct of a
trade or business in the United States.
(f) For any period with respect to which the Administrative Agent or a
Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate forms described
in subsection (e) above (other than if such failure is due to a change in law
occurring after the date on which such person was originally required to
provide such forms, or if such forms are otherwise not required under
subsection (e) above), the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall not be
entitled to increased payments or indemnification under subsection (a) or (c)
above with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however,
that should the Administrative Agent or a Lender become subject to Taxes
because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall
take such steps as the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall reasonably
request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes if, in the judgment of the
Borrower such steps would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any
Taxes required to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder
to the Administrative Agent or such Lender and would not, in the judgment of
the Borrower, be disadvantageous to the Borrower.
52
(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in
this Section 2.12 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest
hereunder and under the Notes.
(h) If a Lender shall change its Applicable Lending Office other than
(i) at the request of the Borrower or (ii) at a time when such change would not
result in this Section 2.12 requiring the Borrower to make a greater payment
than if such change had not been made, such Lender shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under this Section 2.12 than such Lender would have
been entitled to receive had it not changed its Applicable Lending Office.
SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any
payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of
set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances owing to it (other than
pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.12) in excess of its ratable share of payments on
account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall
forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such interests or participating
interests in the Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such
purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them;
provided, however, that, if all or any portion of such excess payment is
thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each
Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender
the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal
to such Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount
of such Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from
the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower
agrees that any Lender so purchasing an interest or participating interest from
another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of
set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case
may be, as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in
the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.14. Removal of Lender. In the event that any Lender demands
payment of costs or additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.09 or Section 2.12
or asserts pursuant to Section 2.09(c) that it is unlawful for such Lender to
make Eurodollar Rate Advances, then (subject to such Lender's right to rescind
such demand or assertion within 10 days after the notice from the Borrower
referred to below) the Borrower may, upon 20 days' prior written notice to such
Lender and the Administrative Agent, elect to cause such Lender to assign its
Advances and Commitments in full to an assignee institution selected by the
Borrower that meets the criteria of an Eligible Assignee and is reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, so long as such Lender receives
payment in full in cash of the outstanding principal amount of all Advances
made by it and all accrued and
53
unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due and payable to such Lender as
of the date of such assignment (including without limitation amounts owing
pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.12), and in such case such Lender agrees to make
such assignment, and such assignee shall agree to accept such assignment and
assume all obligations of such Lender hereunder, in accordance with Section
8.07.
SECTION 2.15. Defaulting Lender. (a) In the event that, at any one
time, (i) any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender
shall owe a Defaulted Advance to the Borrower and (iii) the Borrower shall be
required to make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or
for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, so long as no
Default shall occur or be continuing at such time and to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, set-off and otherwise apply the Obligation of the
Borrower to make such payment to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender
against the Obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make such Defaulted
Advance. In the event that the Borrower shall so set-off and otherwise apply
the Obligation of the Borrower to make any such payment against the Obligation
of such Defaulting Lender to make any such Defaulted Advance on any date, the
amount so set-off and otherwise applied by the Borrower shall constitute for
all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents an Advance by such
Defaulting Lender made on such date under the Facility pursuant to which such
Defaulted Advance was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section
2.01. Such Advance shall be considered, for all purposes of this Agreement, to
comprise part of the Borrowing in connection with which such Defaulted Advance
was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01. The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent at any time the Borrower reduces
the amount of the Obligation of the Borrower to make any payment otherwise
required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document as a
result of the exercise by the Borrower of its right set forth in this
subsection (a) and shall set forth in such notice (A) the name of the
Defaulting Lender and the Defaulted Advance required to be made by such
Defaulting Lender and (B) the amount set-off and otherwise applied in respect
of such Defaulted Advance pursuant to this subsection (a). Any portion of such
payment otherwise required to be made by the Borrower to or for the account of
such Defaulting Lender which is paid by the Borrower, after giving effect to
the amount set-off and otherwise applied by the Borrower pursuant to this
subsection (a), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in
subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 2.15.
(b) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender shall be a
Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Amount to
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of the other Lenders and
(iii) the Borrower shall make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan
Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender,
then the Administrative Agent may, on its behalf or on behalf of such other
Lenders and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply at such
time the amount so paid by the Borrower to or for the account of such
Defaulting
54
Lender to the payment of each such Defaulted Amount up to the amount required
to pay such Defaulted Amount. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall
so apply any such amount to the payment of any such Defaulted Amount on any
date, the amount so applied by the Administrative Agent shall constitute for
all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents payment, to such
extent, of such Defaulted Amount on such date. Any such amount so applied by
the Administrative Agent shall be retained by the Administrative Agent or
distributed by the Administrative Agent to such other Lenders, ratably in
accordance with the respective portions of such Defaulted Amounts payable at
such time to the Administrative Agent and such other Lenders and, if the amount
of such payment made by the Borrower shall at such time be insufficient to pay
all Defaulted Amounts owing at such time to the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent and the other Lenders, in the following order of priority:
(i) first, to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent, ratably in accordance with such respective
Defaulted Amounts then owing to the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent; and
(ii) second, to any other Lenders for any Defaulted Amounts then
owing to such other Lenders, ratably in accordance with such
respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Lenders.
Any portion of such amount paid by the Borrower for the account of such
Defaulting Lender remaining, after giving effect to the amount applied by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection (b), shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (c) of this Section 2.15.
(c) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender shall be
Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall not owe a Defaulted
Advance or a Defaulted Amount and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
the Collateral Agent or any other Lender shall be required to pay or distribute
any amount hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of
such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or such other
Lender shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be held by the
Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in
escrow or the Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, hold in escrow such amount otherwise held by it. Any funds held
by the Administrative Agent in escrow under this subsection (c) shall be
deposited by the Administrative Agent in an account with Citibank, in the name
and under the control of the Administrative Agent, but subject to the
provisions of this subsection (c). The terms applicable to such account,
including the rate of interest payable with respect to the credit balance of
such account from time to time, shall be Citibank's standard terms applicable
to escrow accounts maintained with it. Any interest credited to such account
from time to time shall be held by the Administrative Agent in
55
escrow under, and applied by the Administrative Agent from time to time in
accordance with the provisions of, this subsection (c). The Administrative
Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply all funds
so held in escrow from time to time to the extent necessary to make any
Advances required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and to pay any amount
payable by such Defaulting Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender, as and
when such Advances or amounts are required to be made or paid and, if the
amount so held in escrow shall at any time be insufficient to make and pay all
such Advances and amounts required to be made or paid at such time, in the
following order of priority:
(i) first, to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
for any amount then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder, ratably in
accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent;
(ii) second, to any other Lenders for any amount then due and
payable by such Defaulting Lender to such other Lenders hereunder,
ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and
payable to such other Lenders; and
(iii) third, to the Borrower for any Advance then required to be
made by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the Commitment of such
Defaulting Lender.
In the event that such Defaulting Lender shall, at any time, cease to be a
Defaulting Lender, any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow at such
time with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall be distributed by the
Administrative Agent to such Defaulting Lender and applied by such Defaulting
Lender to the Obligations owing to such Lender at such time under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents ratably in accordance with the
respective amounts of such Obligations outstanding at such time.
(d) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this
Section 2.15 are in addition to other rights and remedies which the Borrower
may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Advance
and which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have
against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Amount.

Liability to any Multiemployer Plan within the past five years, and it
is not reasonably expected that such contributions shall be made or
required or that such liability shall be incurred in any such case in
amounts or under circumstances that would be reasonably likely to
result in a material liability to the Borrower or any of its ERISA
Affiliates. Schedule B (Actuarial Information) to the 1995 annual
report (Form 5500 Series) for each Plan of the Borrower and each of
its ERISA Affiliates, copies of which have been filed with the
Internal Revenue Service and furnished or made available to the

the above, where the failure to do so would not be reasonably likely

and no circumstances exist that are reasonably likely to (i) form the
basis of an Environmental Action against the Borrower or any of its
properties or (ii) cause any such property to be subject to any
restrictions on ownership, occupancy, use or transferability under any
Environmental Law that would, in the case of either (i) or (ii) above,
be reasonably likely to have a Material
70
Adverse Effect (in the case of clause (a) of the definition thereof,
the term "Person" shall refer to the Borrower).

included in all tax returns (Federal, state, local and foreign)
required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown thereon to be due,
together with applicable interest and penalties.
(m) The Borrower is not an "investment company," or an
"affiliated person" of, or "promoter" or "principal underwriter" for,
an "investment company", as such terms are defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. Neither the making of any Advances,
nor the application of the proceeds or repayment thereof by the
Borrower, nor the consummation of the other transactions contemplated
hereby, will violate any provision of such Act or any rule, regulation
or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
(n) The Borrower is Solvent.
(o) Set forth on Schedule III hereto is a complete and accurate
list of all Debt (other than intercompany Debt, Debt under the Loan

maturity, if any, thereof.

Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the
Borrower or any such Subsidiary, all as if Citibank were not the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders.

SECTION 7.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it
has, independently and without reliance upon either the Administrative Agent or
the Collateral Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements
referred to in Section 4.01(f) and such other documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement.
SECTION 7.05. Indemnification. (a) Each Lender severally agrees to
indemnify each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (in each
case to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against
such Lender's ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that
may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent or
the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in any way relating to or arising out
of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, under the Loan Documents;
provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative
Agent's or the Collateral Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent promptly upon demand for its
ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees
and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 8.04, to the
extent that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may
be, is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. For
purposes of this Section 7.05(a), the Lenders' respective ratable shares of any
amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of (a) the
aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding at such time and owing
to the respective Lenders and (b) their respective unused Tranche A Term
Commitments and unused Tranche B Commitments at such time. In the event that
any Defaulted Advance shall be owing by any Defaulting Lender at any time, such
Lender's Commitment with respect to the Facility under which such Defaulted
Advance was required to have been made shall be considered to be unused for
purposes of this Section 7.05(a) to the extent of the amount of such Defaulted
Advance. The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount
required to be paid by the Lender to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other
Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but
no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, for such
89
other Lender's ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival
of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations
of each Lender contained in this Section 7.05(a) shall survive the payment in
full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 7.06. Successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.
Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign at any
time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may
be removed at any time with or without cause by, in the case of the
Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and, in the case of the Collateral
Agent, the Marvel IV Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal,
the Required Lenders or the Marvel IV Required Lenders shall have the right to
appoint, with the consent of the Borrower, a successor Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, respectively, which shall be a Lender, or if no Lender
consents to act as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may
be, hereunder, an institution that would be permitted to be an Eligible
Assignee hereunder. If no successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent,
as the case may be, shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders or the
Marvel IV Required Lenders, as the case may be, and shall have accepted such
appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's or
Collateral Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders' or
the Marvel IV Required Lenders' removal of the retiring Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent, or Collateral Agent,
as the case may be, may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, which shall be a
commercial bank that is acceptable to the Borrower (which shall not
unreasonably withhold its approval). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, thereunder by a
successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, such
successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and the
retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any
retiring Administrative Agent's or Collateral Agent's resignation or removal
hereunder as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, the provisions of this
Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case
may be.

Lenders (other than any Lender which is, at such times a Defaulting Lender)

SECTION 8.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no
delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law.
SECTION 8.04. Costs; Expenses. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay on
demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative

suit, litigation, any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding
affecting creditors' rights generally or otherwise (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees (including the allocated costs of internal
counsel) and reasonable expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent and each Lender with respect thereto) and expenses in

(b) If any payment of principal of any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made
by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of
the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion
pursuant to Section 2.09(c) or 2.10, acceleration of the maturity of the Notes

demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent),
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts
required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses
which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, including, without
limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or
maintain such Advance.
(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Documentation Agent, the
Syndication Agent and each Lender and each of their affiliates and their
officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents and advisors (each, an
"Indemnified Party") from and against any and all claims, damages, losses,
liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any
Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by
reason of (or in connection with the preparation for a defense of) any
investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related to or in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby,
whether or not an Indemnified Party is a party thereto, whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, whether or not any such
claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or
any other person and whether or not such Indemnified Party is a Lender at such
time) except (i) to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense
(x) is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction (a "Final Judgment") to have resulted from such Indemnified
Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct or (y) arises from any legal
proceedings commenced against any Lender by any other Lender (in its capacity
as such and not as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Documentation Agent
or Syndication Agent), and (ii) in the case of any litigation brought by the
Borrower (A) seeking a judgment against any Indemnified Party for any wrongful
act or omission of such Indemnified Party and (B) in which a Final
93

8.04(c).
SECTION 8.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the
granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the
Administrative Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the
provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and
from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply
any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final)
at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or
for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the
obligations of the Borrower to such Lender now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement and the Note or Notes held by such Lender, whether or not such Lender
shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note or Notes and
although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to
notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application shall be made by
such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such set-off and application; provided further that no Lender shall
exercise any such right of set-off or any other right of set-off without the
prior consent of the Administrative Agent. The rights of each Lender under this
Section 8.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.

assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under
this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations
made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that
together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under
this Agreement, (v) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as
a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14 unless and until
such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrower
or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Lender,
together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal
amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, (vi)
the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an
Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such
assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,000 from the assignee and
(vii) no such assignments shall be permitted without the consent of the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and
after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the
Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance,
relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining
portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the
Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree
with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as
provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no

or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial
condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of
any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms
95
that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the
financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(f) and such other documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis
and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee

Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi)
such assignee appoints and authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise

such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee
agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the
obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed
by it as a Lender.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to

accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of
the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing
under each Facility to, each Lender from time to time (the "Register"). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the
Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee,
together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative
Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in
substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and
Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and
(iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Within five Business Days
after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered
Note or Notes a new Note or Notes to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an
amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under a Facility pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained a
Commitment hereunder under such Facility, a new Note to the order of the
assigning Lender in an amount equal to such Commitment retained by it
hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes,
shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall
otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 or A-2, as appropriate.
96
(e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment,

for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the
holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such

under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or
waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure
by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or
consent would reduce or postpone any date fixed for payment of principal of, or
interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each
case to the extent subject to such participation.
(f) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation
or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 8.07, disclose
to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any
information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf
of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or
participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree pursuant to an
agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I to preserve the
confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower
received by it from such Lender.
(g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement,
any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances
owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve
Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System.

in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any
other party hereto in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any New York State or Federal
court and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such
action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) The Borrower agrees that service of process may be made on the
Borrower by personal service of a copy of the summons and complaint or other
legal process in any such suit, action or proceeding, or by registered or

Section 8.02, or by any other method of service provided for under the
applicable laws in effect in the State of New York.
SECTION 8.09. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in

[Name and address of Bank

Dear Sirs:
We understand that Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") is acting as
Administrative Agent under the Term Credit Agreement dated as of December 16,
1996 (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Term Credit
Agreement"; terms used herein and not otherwise defined are used as defined
therein) among Marvel IV Holdings Inc. (the "Borrower"), Citibank, as
Administrative Agent, the banks and financial institutions and other
institutional lenders party thereto (the "Lender Parties"), Credit Suisse, as
Documentation Agent, NationsBanc Capital Markets, Inc., as Syndication Agent,
Citibank, as Collateral Agent and the managing agents party thereto. In
connection with our evaluation of a proposed purchase of a participation in, or
acceptance of an assignment of, a portion of the Advances and Commitments,
Citibank and/or a Lender or an affiliate of Citibank or a Lender have
furnished, and will furnish, us with a copy of the Term Credit Agreement and
non-public information concerning the Borrower and the Bank (all such
non-public information, whether furnished before or after the date of this
letter, and including, without limitation, the financial model referred to
below, collectively the "Transaction Information").
We agree to keep confidential (and to cause our officers, directors,
employees, agents and representatives to keep confidential) all Transaction
Information and, in the event we do not participate or accept an assignment
under the Term Credit Agreement, at Citibank's, such Lender's or the Borrower's
request, to return (and to cause such other person to return)
3
to Citibank, such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, all written
Transaction Information and all copies thereof, extracts therefrom and analyses
and other materials based thereon, except that we shall be permitted to
disclose details of the Transaction Information (i) to such of our officers,
directors, employees, agents and representatives (which agents and
representatives shall not include any financial institutions) and legal or
other advisors who need to know such information in connection with our
evaluation of a possible participation in, or possible acceptance of an
assignment of, Advances and Commitment thereunder and who agree to be bound by
the restrictions set forth herein; (ii) to the extent required by applicable
laws and regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (provided that
we will promptly notify the Borrower of such requirement as far in advance of
its disclosure as is practicable to enable the Borrower to seek a protective
order and, to the extent practicable, we will cooperate with the Borrower in
seeking any such order), or requested by any governmental agency or authority
having jurisdiction over us (provided that we will first inform the Borrower of
any such request other than those from bank regulatory authorities or examiners
and, in either case, we will inform any such agency or authority that such
information is subject to this letter agreement); (iii) to the extent Citibank
and the Borrower shall have consented to such disclosure in writing; and (iv)
to the extent that a public announcement or dissemination of such Transaction
Information shall have been made other than as a result of a breach of this
Confidentiality Letter.
We further agree that we will use the Transaction Information only in
connection with our evaluation of becoming a possible participant or Eligible
Assignee under the Term Credit Agreement.
The undertakings contained herein are for your benefit and the benefit
of the Borrower.
Upon its receipt of this confidentiality letter signed by us, we
understand that Citibank or a Lender may forward to us a financial model for
the periods through 1999 pertaining to the Borrower and the Bank. Such
information will subsequently form part of the Transaction Information for all
purposes hereunder.
We understand that the financial model was prepared in good faith by
Mafco's management based on assumptions believed to be reasonable when made.
However, because assumptions as to future results are inherently subject to
uncertainty and contingencies beyond Mafco's control, actual results of the
Borrower and the Bank may be higher or lower.
