During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period the Borrowers may use the Revolving Credit Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Credit
26
Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Revolving Credit Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrowers and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.6 and 2.13, provided that no Revolving Credit Loan shall be made as a Eurodollar Loan after the day that is one month prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 2.6Β Β Β Β Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing.Β Β Β Β The Borrowers may borrow under the Revolving Credit Commitments during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that the applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in a Notice of Borrowing (which Notice of Borrowing must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, (a)Β three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (b)Β one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans), specifying (i)Β the amount and Type of Revolving Credit Loans to be borrowed, (ii)Β the requested Borrowing Date and (iii)Β in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the length of the initial Interest Period therefor. Each borrowing under the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x)Β in the case of Base Rate Loans, $1,000,000 or a multiple in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Credit Commitments are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (y)Β in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $3,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such Notice of Borrowing from a Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by such Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 2.7Β Β Β Β Repayment of Loans.Β Β Β Β The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the appropriate Revolving Credit Lender, Tranche B Term Loan Lender or Tranche C Term Loan Lender, as the case may be, (i)Β the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Revolving Credit Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to SectionΒ 8)Β (ii) the principal amount of each Tranche B Term Loan of such Tranche B Term Loan Lender in installments according to the amortization schedule set forth in SectionΒ 2.1 (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to SectionΒ 8) and (iii)Β the principal amount of each Tranche C Term Loan of such Tranche C Term Loan Lender in installments according to the amortization schedule set forth in SectionΒ 2.4 (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to SectionΒ 8). The Borrowers hereby further agree to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in SectionΒ 2.15.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 2.8Β Β Β Β Evidence of Indebtedness.Β Β Β Β (a)Β Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall maintain the Register pursuant to SectionΒ 10.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i)Β the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii)Β the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and

(iii)Β both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrowers and each Lender's share thereof.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β Β The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to SectionΒ 2.8(a) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β Β The Borrowers agree that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrowers will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrowers evidencing any Tranche B Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or Tranche C Term Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of ExhibitΒ G-1, G-2 or G-3, respectively, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (such notes, respectively, "Tranche B Term Notes", "Revolving Credit Notes" or "Tranche C Term Notes").
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 2.9Β Β Β Β Commitment Fees, etc.Β Β Β Β (a)Β The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to the last day of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β The Borrowers further agree to pay to the Administrative Agent such other fees in the amounts and on the dates from time to time agreed to in writing by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent including, without limitation, the Administration Fee set forth in the Fee Letter.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 2.10Β Β Β Β Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments.Β Β Β Β The Borrowers shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 2.11Β Β Β Β Optional Prepayments.Β Β Β Β The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (i)Β if such prepayment is to occur on the Restatement Effective Date, on the Restatement Effective Date and (ii)Β if such prepayment is to occur at any other time, at least three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and at least one Business Day prior thereto in the case of Base Rate Loans. Such notice shall (i)Β designate whether the Borrowers are prepaying Revolving Credit Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and/or Tranche C Term Loans and (ii)Β specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to SectionΒ 2.21. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans
28
(unless all Revolving Credit Loans are being repaid and the Revolving Credit Commitments terminated) that are Base Rate Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Tranche B Term Loans, Tranche C Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a multiple in excess thereof. To the extent Tranche C Term Loans have been prepaid by the Borrowers pursuant to this SectionΒ 2.11, the amount so prepaid may be reborrowed by the Borrowers pursuant to an additional term loan (or an add-on or sub-facility to the existing Tranche C Term Loan) (such additional term loan, add-on or sub-facility, the "Reload Term Loan Addition") to be created under this Agreement on terms to be agreed upon by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the lenders under such Reload Term Loan Addition. Such Reload Term Loan Addition may be implemented and conforming amendments made to this Agreement and other Loan Documents to reflect its implementation and the terms thereof without the consent of any Lender, including, without limitation, conforming amendments (i)Β to provide for the Reload Term Loan Addition to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof) with the Tranche C Term Loans and Revolving Extensions of Credit, (ii)Β to Sections 2.12 and 2.18, as applicable, to provide, among other things, for the Reload Term Loan Addition to share ratably with or with preference to the Tranche C Term Loans in the application of mandatory prepayments or otherwise to share ratably with or with preference to the Revolving Extensions of Credit, (iii)Β to provide an amortization schedule for the Reload Term Loan Addition, and (iv)Β to include appropriately the Lenders holding the Reload Term Loan Addition in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required Prepayment Lenders and Majority Facility Lenders, it being understood that no Lender or Agent is committed or obligated to participate in such Reload Term Loan Addition unless it agrees to do so in the document or agreement implementing such Reload Term Loan Addition.

Any such reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans to the extent, if any, that the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced, provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding is less than the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced (because L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), the Borrowers shall, to the extent of the balance of such excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in immediately available funds in a cash collateral account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and the Borrowers hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in all amounts at any time on deposit in such cash collateral account to secure all L/C Obligations from time to time outstanding and all other Obligations). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in such cash collateral account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties or that the total amount of such funds is less than the amount of such excess, the Borrowers shall, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in such cash collateral account, an amount equal to the excess of (a)Β the amount of such excess over (b)Β the total amount of funds, if any, then held in such cash collateral account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. The application of any prepayment pursuant to SectionΒ 2.11 and this SectionΒ 2.12 shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under SectionΒ 2.11 and this SectionΒ 2.12 (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans (unless the Revolving Credit Loans are being repaid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments terminated) that are Base Rate Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment to the applicable Lender on the amount prepaid.

The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrowers and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective.

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrowers and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x)Β any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y)Β any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z)Β any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrowers have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 2.18Β Β Β Β Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.Β Β Β Β (a)Β Each borrowing by a Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by a Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Tranche B Term Loan Percentages, Tranche C Term Loan Percentages or Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Subject to SectionΒ 2.18(c), each payment (other than prepayments) in respect of principal or interest in respect of the Loans, and each payment in respect of fees or expenses payable hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders. The application of any prepayment pursuant to this SectionΒ 2.18 shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β (i)Β Each payment (including each prepayment) of the Tranche B Term Loans outstanding under any Tranche B Term Loan Facility shall be allocated among the Tranche B Term Loan Lenders holding such Tranche B Term Loans pro rata based on the principal amount of such

Xxxxxxx X Term Loans held by such Tranche B Term Loan Lenders, and shall be applied to the installments of such Tranche B Term Loans pro rata based on the remaining outstanding principal amount of such installments. Amounts prepaid on account of the Tranche B Term Loans may not be reborrowed and (ii)Β each payment (including each prepayment) of the Tranche C Term Loans outstanding under any Tranche C Term Loan Facility shall be allocated among the Tranche C Term Loan Lenders holding such Tranche C Term Loans pro rata based on the principal amount of such Tranche C Term Loans held by such Tranche C Term Loan Lenders, and shall be applied to the installments of such Tranche C Term Loans pro rata based on the remaining outstanding principal amount of such installments. Amounts prepaid on account of the Tranche C Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β Β Each payment (including each prepayment) by a Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β Β Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in SectionΒ 2.12 or this SectionΒ 2.18, each Term Loan Lender may, at its option, decline all or any portion of any mandatory payment applicable to the Term Loans of such Lender; accordingly, with respect to the amount of any mandatory prepayment described in SectionΒ 2.12 that is allocated to a Term Loan (such amounts, the "Term Loan Prepayment Amount"), the Borrowers will, in lieu of applying such amount to the prepayment of applicable Term Loans, as provided in Sections 2.12(e) and 2.18(b), on or up to 10 Business Days prior to the date specified in SectionΒ 2.12 for such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) requesting that the Administrative Agent prepare and provide to each Term Loan Lender entitled to receive a mandatory prepayment a Prepayment Option Notice as described below and, on the date specified in SectionΒ 2.12 for such prepayment, deposit such amount in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent pending application of such amount in accordance with this SectionΒ 2.18(d). As promptly as practicable after receiving such notice from the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent will send to each applicable Term Loan Lender a Prepayment Option Notice, which shall include an offer by the Borrowers to prepay on the date (each a "Prepayment Date") that is 10 Business Days after the date of the Prepayment Option Notice, the relevant Term Loans of such Lender by an amount equal to the portion of the Prepayment Amount indicated in such Lender's Prepayment Option Notice as being applicable to such Lender's Term Loans. On the Prepayment Date, (i)Β the Administrative Agent shall apply from the amount deposited in the cash collateral account pursuant to this SectionΒ 2.18(d) the aggregate amount necessary to prepay that portion of the outstanding relevant Term Loans in respect of which Term Loan Lenders have accepted prepayment as described above, and such amount shall be applied to reduce the Term Loan Prepayment Amounts with respect to each Accepting Lender, and (ii)Β the Administrative Agent shall pay to the applicable Borrower from the amount deposited in such cash collateral account the remaining portion of the Term Loan Prepayment Amount not accepted by the Term Loan Lenders; provided that if the amount held in such cash collateral account is less than the total amount required to be paid pursuant to clauseΒ (i) of this sentence, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on the Prepayment Date, in immediately available funds an amount equal to the difference between such amounts. The Borrowers hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in all amounts at any time on deposit in such cash collateral account to secure all Obligations from time to time outstanding.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (e)Β Β All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim
33
and shall be made prior to 1:00pm, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (f)Β Β Β Β Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender's share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrowers.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (g)Β Β Subject to SectionΒ 2.18(d), unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrowers prior to the date of any payment being made hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers are making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers within three Business Days of such required date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrowers.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 2.19Β Β Β Β Requirements of Law.Β Β Β Β (a)Β If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for such reduction.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β Β A certificate and supporting documentation as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 2.20Β Β Β Β Taxes.Β Β Β Β (a)Β All payments made by the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes, taxes imposed on or measured by overall gross receipts and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent's or such Lender's (or Transferee's) having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings ("Non-Excluded Taxes") are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Transferee) hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes)

interest or any such other amounts that would have been received hereunder had such withholding not been required; provided, however, that a Borrower or a Guarantor shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Transferee) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i)Β that are attributable to the Administrative Agent's or such Lender's (or Transferee's) failure to comply with the requirements of paragraphΒ (f) of this Section, or (ii)Β that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) at the time the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent's or such Lender's (or Transferee's) assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from a Borrower or a Guarantor with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this SectionΒ 2.20(a).

Payment under this indemnification shall be made within fifteen Business Days from the date the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or Transferee) or any of their respective Affiliates makes written demand and provides documentation therefor. If a Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section to such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent (as determined in the reasonable discretion of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent), it shall (i)Β promptly notify the Borrowers of the availability of such refund and (ii)Β within 30 Business Days after receipt of a request by the Borrowers, apply for such refund at the Borrowers' expense unless to do so will unduly prejudice or cause undue hardship to such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent (as determined in the reasonable discretion of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent). If any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrowers of such refund and shall, within 30 Business Days after receipt of a request by the Borrowers (or promptly upon receipt, if the Borrowers have requested application for such refund pursuant hereto), repay such refund to the Borrowers (to the extent attributable to amounts that have been paid by the Borrowers under this Section), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent; provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent, shall promptly return such refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund. Nothing contained in this subsection (c)Β shall require any Lender (or Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems to be confidential).

Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrowers (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).

Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender, regardless of the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in SectionΒ 5, upon demand, at the Issuing Lender's address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant's Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed.

If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to SectionΒ 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover
39
from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i)Β until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, SectionΒ 2.15(b) and (ii)Β thereafter, SectionΒ 2.15(c). Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in clauseΒ (i) or (ii)Β of SectionΒ 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to either of the Borrowers, in which case the procedures specified in SectionΒ 3.4 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to SectionΒ 2.5 of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans could be made, pursuant to SectionΒ 2.5 if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time of such drawing under such Letter of Credit.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.6Β Β Β Β Obligations Absolute.Β Β Β Β The Borrowers' obligations under this SectionΒ 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrowers may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrowers also agree with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrowers' Reimbursement Obligations under SectionΒ 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrowers and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrowers against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. The Borrowers agree that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in accordance with the standards or care specified in the UCC of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrowers and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrowers.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.7Β Β Β Β Letter of Credit Payments.Β Β Β Β If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the date and amount thereof. The
40
responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrowers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.8Β Β Β Β Applications.Β Β Β Β To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this SectionΒ 3, the provisions of this SectionΒ 3 shall apply.

No indebtedness being reduced or retired out of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit was or will be incurred for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any "margin stock" (within the meaning of RegulationΒ U). Following application of the proceeds of the Loans and Letters of Credit, "margin stock" (within the meaning of RegulationΒ U) does not constitute more than 25% of the value of the assets of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries.

77
Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Arrangers or the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 9.4Β Β Β Β Reliance by Agents.Β Β Β Β Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders or the requisite Lenders required under SectionΒ 10.1 to authorize or require such action (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders or the requisite Lenders under SectionΒ 10.1 to authorize or require such action (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans and Letters of Credit.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 9.5Β Β Β Β Notice of Default.Β Β Β Β No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the requisite Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 9.6Β Β Β Β Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.Β Β Β Β Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Arrangers, the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, partners, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Arranger or any Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Arranger or any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Arrangers and the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Arranger or any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans (and in the case of the Issuing Lender, its Letters of
78
Credit) hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Arranger or any 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 analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither any Arranger nor any Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of such Arranger or such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, partners, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 9.7Β Β Β Β Indemnification.Β Β Β Β The Lenders agree to indemnify each Arranger and each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Arranger or such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Arranger or such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from such Arranger's or such Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Lender. The agreements in this SectionΒ 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and Letters of Credit and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 9.8Β Β Β Β Arrangers and Agents in Their Individual Capacities.Β Β Β Β Each Arranger and each Agent and their respective affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Arranger was not an Arranger and such Agent was not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Arranger and each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Arranger or an Agent, as the case may be, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include each Arranger and each Agent in their respective individual capacities.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 9.9Β Β Β Β Successor Agents.Β Β Β Β The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10Β days' advance written notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under SectionΒ 8(a) or SectionΒ 8(f) with respect to either of the Borrowers shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrowers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former
79
Administrative Agent's rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or Letters of Credit. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30Β days following a retiring Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Each of the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, resign as Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent, as applicable, hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of such Agent hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by any Arranger, any Agent or any Lender. After any retiring Agent's resignation as Agent, the provisions of this SectionΒ 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 9.10Β Β Β Β Authorization to Release Liens.Β Β Β Β The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to release any Lien covering any Property of either of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries that is the subject of a Disposition which is permitted by this Agreement or which has been consented to in accordance with SectionΒ 10.1.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 9.11Β Β Β Β The Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent.Β Β Β Β Except as expressly set forth herein with respect to the Arrangers, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent, in their respective capacities as such, shall have no duties or responsibilities, and shall incur no liability, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 9.12Β Β Β Β Withholding Tax.Β Β Β Β To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the forms or other documentation required by SectionΒ 2.20(f) are not delivered to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender not providing such forms or other documentation, an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. If any Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement, the purchaser, assignee, participant or transferee, as applicable, shall comply and be bound by the terms of SectionΒ 2.20(f) and this SectionΒ 9.12.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents, the Arranger and all future holders of the Loans and Letters of Credit. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Arranger and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided, that delivery of an executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers (x)Β to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof (collectively, the "Additional Extensions of Credit") to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y)Β to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required Prepayment Lenders and Majority Revolving Facility Lenders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall permit the Additional Extensions of Credit to share ratably with or with preference to the Tranche B Term Loans in the application of mandatory prepayments without the consent of the Required Prepayment Lenders or otherwise to share ratably with or with preference to the Revolving Extensions of Credit without the consent of the Majority Revolving Facility Lenders.

C Lender directly affected thereby. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (x)Β to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit Additional Extensions of Credit to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Tranche B Term Loans, the Tranche C Term Loans and the Revolving Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y)Β to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required Prepayment Lenders and Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall permit the Additional Extensions of Credit to share ratably with or with preference to the Tranche B Term Loans or the Tranche C Term Loans in the application of mandatory prepayments without the consent of the Required Prepayment Lenders or otherwise to share ratably with or with preference to the Revolving Extensions of Credit without the consent of the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders.

Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers agree not to assert and to cause their respective Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waive and agree to cause their respective Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 10.6Β Β Β Β Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.Β Β Β Β (a)Β This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Arrangers, the Agents, all future holders of the Loans and Letters of Credit and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrowers may not assign nor transfer any of its respective rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Arrangers, the Agents and each Lender.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β Any Lender may, without notice to, or the consent of, either of the Borrowers or any other Person, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a "Participant") participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers, the Arrangers and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the Loans, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall
85
have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in SectionΒ 10.7(a) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. The Borrowers also agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided that, in the case of SectionΒ 2.20, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β Β Any Lender (an "Assignor") may, in accordance with applicable law and upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to (1)Β any Lender or (2)Β any affiliate or Related Fund of the assigning Lender or of another Lender or Control Investment Affiliate thereof or, (3)Β with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments, the written consent of the Issuing Lender (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided (x)Β that no such consent need be obtained by a Xxxxxx Entity or CSFB Funding Entity for a period of 180Β days following the Restatement Effective Date and (y)Β the consent of the Borrowers need not be obtained with respect to any assignment of Tranche B Term Loans or Tranche C Term Loans), to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (each such assignee under (1), (2)Β or (3)Β an "Assignee") all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of ExhibitΒ E (an "Assignment and Acceptance"), executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by the Borrowers and such other Persons) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any affiliate, Related Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $5,000,000 for Revolving Credit Loans and $1,000,000 for Tranche B Term Loans or Tranche C Term Loans or, after giving effect thereto, result in such assigning Lender having a Commitment and/or outstanding Loans in an aggregate amount of less than $5,000,000 for Revolving Credit Loans and $1,000,000 for Tranche B Term Loans or Tranche C Term Loans (other than, in each case, in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender's interests under this Agreement), unless otherwise agreed by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the Facilities. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x)Β the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y)Β the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, the consent of the Borrowers shall not be required for any assignment that occurs at any time when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β Β The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrowers, maintain at its address referred to in SectionΒ 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a
86
register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers marked "canceled". The Register shall be available for inspection by either of the Borrowers or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender's Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (e)Β Β Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by SectionΒ 10.6(c), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (except that (A)Β no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (y)Β in connection with an assignment by or to a Xxxxxx Entity or CSFB Funding Entity or (z)Β in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or is a Related Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender and (B)Β in the case of assignments on the same day by a Lender to more than one fund managed or advised by the same investment advisor (which funds are not then Lenders hereunder), only a single $3,500 fee shall be payable for all such assignments by such Lender to such funds on such day), the Administrative Agent shall (i)Β promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii)Β on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrowers. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrowers, at their own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, to such Assignee or its registered assigns in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or applicable Tranche B Term Loans and/or Tranche C Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Tranche B Term Loans and/or Tranche C Term Loans, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Credit Note and/or Term Notes, as the case may be, to the Assignor or its registered assigns in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or applicable Tranche B Term Loans and/or Tranche C Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Restatement Effective Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (f)Β Β Β Β For the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law. In the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, such Lender may, without the consent of either of Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities; provided that
87
any foreclosure or similar action by such trustee or representative shall be subject to the provisions of this SectionΒ 10.6 concerning assignments.

GUARANTEE
Guarantee.Β Β Β Β (a)Β Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrowers when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Borrower Obligations.
If and to the extent required in order for the Obligations of any Guarantor to be enforceable under applicable federal, state and other laws relating to the insolvency of debtors, the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the greatest amount which can lawfully be guaranteed by such Guarantor under such laws, after giving effect to any rights of contribution, reimbursement and subrogation arising under SectionΒ 2.2. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (i)Β such Guarantor (as opposed to its creditors, representatives of creditors or bankruptcy trustee, including such Guarantor in its capacity as debtor in possession exercising any powers of a bankruptcy trustee) has no personal right under such laws to reduce, or request any judicial relief that has the effect of reducing, the amount of its liability under this Agreement, (ii)Β such Guarantor (as opposed to its creditors, representatives of creditors or bankruptcy trustee, including such Guarantor in its capacity as debtor in possession exercising any powers of a bankruptcy trustee) has no personal right to enforce the limitation set forth in this SectionΒ 2.1(b) or to reduce, or request judicial relief reducing, the amount of its liability under this Agreement, and (iii)Β the limitation set forth in this SectionΒ 2.1(b) may be enforced only to the extent required under such laws in order for the obligations of such Guarantor under this Agreement to be enforceable under such laws and only by or for the benefit of a creditor, representative of creditors or bankruptcy trustee of such Guarantor or other Person entitled, under such laws, to enforce the provisions thereof.
Each Guarantor agrees that Borrower Obligations may at any time and from time to time be incurred or permitted in an amount exceeding the maximum liability of such Guarantor under SectionΒ 2.1(b) without impairing the validity or enforceability of the guarantee contained in this SectionΒ 2 and without affecting the claims, interests, rights and remedies of any Secured Party hereunder.
The guarantee contained in this SectionΒ 2 shall remain in full force and effect until Discharge of the Obligations, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrowers may be free from any Borrower Obligations.
No payment made by either Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Secured Party from either Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Borrower Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement) are

paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments are terminated or have expired.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Rights of Reimbursement, Contribution and Subrogation.Β Β Β Β In case any payment is made on account of the Obligations by any Grantor or is received or collected on account of the Obligations from any Grantor or its property:
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Β If such payment is made by a Borrower or from its property, then:
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (i)Β Β Β Β if and to the extent such payment is made on account of Obligations arising from or relating to a Loan made to such Borrower or a Letter of Credit issued for account of such Borrower, such Borrower shall not be entitled (A)Β to demand or enforce reimbursement or contribution in respect of such payment from any other Grantor or (B)Β to be subrogated to any claim, interest, right or remedy of any Secured Party against any other Person, including any other Grantor or its property; and
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (ii)Β Β if and to the extent such payment is made by Regal or from its property on account of Obligations arising from or relating to a Loan made to Holdings or a Letter of Credit issued for the account of Holdings, (A)Β the amount of such payment shall be credited as a partial payment on Regal's liability under the applicable Regal-Holdings Note or Additional Regal-Holdings Note, in satisfaction of Regal's reimbursement rights against Holdings in respect of such payment, and after the Regal-Holdings Notes have been paid in full Regal shall be entitled, subject to and upon Discharge of the Obligations, to demand and enforce reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from Holdings, and (B)Β Regal shall not be entitled to demand or enforce reimbursement or contribution in respect of such payment from any Guarantor; and
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (iii)Β Β if and to the extent such payment is made by Holdings or from its property on account of Obligations arising from or relating to a Loan made to Regal or a Letter of Credit issued for the account of Regal, (A)Β Holdings shall be entitled, subject to and upon Discharge of the Obligations, to demand and enforce reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from Regal, and (B)Β Holdings shall not be entitled to demand or enforce reimbursement or contribution in respect of such payment from any Guarantor.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β If such payment is made by a Guarantor or from its property, such Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon Discharge of the Obligations, (A)Β to demand and enforce reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from each of the Borrowers, who shall be jointly and severally liable for such reimbursement on the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement, including SectionΒ 10.19 thereof, and (B)Β to demand and enforce contribution in respect of such payment from each other Guarantor which has not paid its fair share of such payment, as necessary to ensure that (after giving effect to any enforcement of reimbursement rights provided hereby) each Guarantor pays its fair share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment. For this purpose, the fair share of each Guarantor as to any unreimbursed payment shall be determined based on an equitable apportionment of such unreimbursed payment among all Guarantors based on the relative value of their assets and any other equitable considerations deemed appropriate by the court.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β Β If and whenever (after Discharge of the Obligations) any right of reimbursement or contribution becomes enforceable by any Grantor against any other Grantor under Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b), such Grantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon Discharge of the Obligations, to be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Grantors entitled to reimbursement or contribution from any other Grantor as set forth in this SectionΒ 2.2) to any security interest that may then be held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral granted to it in this Agreement. Such right of subrogation shall be enforceable solely against the Grantors, and not against the Secured
7
Parties, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty whatsoever to warrant, ensure or protect any such right of subrogation or to obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any Collateral for any purpose related to any such right of subrogation. If subrogation is demanded by any Grantor, then (after Discharge of the Obligations) the Administrative Agent at its sole option may (but shall have no duty to) deliver to the Grantors making such demand, or to a representative of such Grantors or of the Grantors generally, an instrument satisfactory to the Administrative Agent transferring, on a quitclaim basis without any recourse, representation, warranty or obligation whatsoever, whatever security interest the Administrative Agent then may hold in whatever Collateral may then exist that was not previously released or disposed of by the Administrative Agent.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β Β All rights and claims arising under this SectionΒ 2.2 or based upon or relating to any other right of reimbursement, indemnification, contribution or subrogation that may at any time arise or exist in favor of any Grantor as to any payment on account of the Obligations made by it or received or collected from its property shall be fully subordinated in all respects to the prior payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations. Until Discharge of the Obligations, no Grantor shall demand or receive any collateral security, payment or distribution whatsoever (whether in cash, property or securities or otherwise) on account of any such right or claim. If any such payment or distribution is made or becomes available to any Grantor in any bankruptcy case or receivership, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, such payment or distribution shall be delivered by the person making such payment or distribution directly to the Administrative Agent, for application to the payment of the Obligations. If any such payment or distribution is received by any Grantor, it shall be held by such Grantor in trust, as trustee of an express trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be transferred and delivered by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, in the exact form received and, if necessary, duly endorsed.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (e)Β Β The obligations of the Grantors under the Loan Documents, including their liability for the Obligations and the enforceability of the security interests granted thereby, are not contingent upon the validity, legality, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation arising under this SectionΒ 2.2. The invalidity, insufficiency, unenforceability or uncollectibility of any such right shall not in any respect diminish, affect or impair any such obligation or any other claim, interest, right or remedy at any time held by any Secured Party against any Guarantor or its property. The Secured Parties make no representations or warranties in respect of any such right and shall have no duty to assure, protect, enforce or ensure any such right or otherwise relating to any such right.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (f)Β Β Β Β Each Grantor reserves any and all other rights of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation at any time available to it as against any other Grantor, but (i)Β the exercise and enforcement of such rights shall be subject to SectionΒ 2.2(d) and (ii)Β neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall ever have any duty or liability whatsoever in respect of any such right.

delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with their terms, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released by the Secured Party.

Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon either Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Borrower Obligations.

When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against either Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from either Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of either Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof "demand" shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

Pledged Securities.Β Β Β Β (a)Β Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Administrative Agent's intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to SectionΒ 6.3(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, in each case paid in the normal course of business of the relevant Issuer and consistent with past practice, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Securities; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other ownership right exercised or other action taken which, in the Administrative Agent's reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any Default under the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i)Β the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Securities and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth in SectionΒ 6.5, and (ii)Β any or all of the Pledged Securities shall be
20
registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x)Β all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Securities at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y)Β any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Securities as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Securities upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Securities, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Securities with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i)Β comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (x)Β states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y)Β is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii)Β unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Administrative Agent.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent.Β Β Β Β In addition to the rights of the Secured Parties specified in SectionΒ 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, Cash Equivalents, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in SectionΒ 6.5.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Application of Proceeds.Β Β Β Β At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent's election, the Administrative Agent may, notwithstanding the provisions of SectionΒ 2.12 of the Credit Agreement, apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral turned over to, held by or realized through the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its remedies hereunder, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee set forth in SectionΒ 2, in payment of the Obligations in the following order:
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β First, to the Administrative Agent, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents;
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Second, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards payment of amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Obligations, pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of the Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Lenders;
21
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Third, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards prepayment of the Obligations, pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of the Obligations then held by the Lenders; and
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Fourth, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement) shall have been paid in full, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall have terminated or expired shall be paid over to the Borrowers or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
Code and Other Remedies.Β Β Β Β (a)Β If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC (whether or not the New York UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor's premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this SectionΒ 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, SectionΒ 9-615(a) of the New York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10Β days before such sale or other disposition.
In the event of any Disposition of any of the Intellectual Property, the goodwill of the business connected with and symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such Disposition shall be included, and the applicable Grantor shall supply the Administrative Agent or its designee with such Grantor's know-how and expertise, and with documents and things embodying the same, relating to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products or the provision of services relating to any Intellectual Property subject to such Disposition, and such Grantor's customer
22
lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of such products and services.
Registration Rights.Β Β Β Β (a)Β If the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock or the Pledged Debt Securities pursuant to SectionΒ 6.6, and if in the opinion of the Administrative Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock or the Pledged Debt Securities, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will cause the Issuer thereof to (i)Β execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Stock or the Pledged Debt Securities, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii)Β use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Stock or the Pledged Debt Securities, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii)Β make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Administrative Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of SectionΒ 11(a) of the Securities Act.
Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock or the Pledged Debt Securities, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock or the Pledged Debt Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock or the Pledged Debt Securities pursuant to this SectionΒ 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this SectionΒ 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this SectionΒ 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement or a defense of payment.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Waiver; Deficiency.Β Β Β Β Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
23
Administrative Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.Β Β Β Β (a)Β Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any authorized officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, (without notice to or assent by such Grantor during a Default Scenerio), to do any or all of the following:
in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable included in the Collateral or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
in the case of any Intellectual Property included in the Collateral, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence the Secured Parties' security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs to the Collateral or obtain any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
execute, in connection with any sale provided for in SectionΒ 6.6 or 6.7, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
(1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (2)Β ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3)Β sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4)Β commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5)Β defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6)Β settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (7)Β assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains) included in the Collateral, throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8)Β generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the
24
Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent's option and such Grantor's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties' security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Anything in this SectionΒ 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this SectionΒ 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this SectionΒ 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand.
Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Duty of Administrative Agent.Β Β Β Β The Administrative Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under SectionΒ 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner and accord it the same care as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties' interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Grantor.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Execution of Financing Statements.Β Β Β Β Each Grantor acknowledges that pursuant to SectionΒ 9-509(b) of the New York UCC and any other applicable law, the Administrative Agent is authorized to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, including, without limitation, financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, in such office(s) in any jurisdiction as may be necessary to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder and in the other Security Documents.
25
Such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in the Security Documents or as "all assets" or "all personal property" of the undersigned, whether now owned or hereafter existing or acquired by the undersigned. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Authority of Administrative Agent.Β Β Β Β Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Appointment of Co-Collateral Agents.Β Β Β Β At any time or from time to time, in order to comply with any Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may appoint another bank or trust company or one of more other persons, either to act as co-agent or agents on behalf of the Secured Parties with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effectual operation of the provisions hereof and which may be specified in the instrument of appointment (which may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, include similar provisions for indemnification and protections of such co-agent or separate agent).

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies.Β Β Β Β No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to SectionΒ 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.Β Β Β Β (a)Β Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Grantor under the guarantee contained in SectionΒ 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including, without

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Set-Off.Β Β Β Β Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, as such Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Secured Party may have.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Counterparts.Β Β Β Β This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.7Β Β Β Β Other Covenants.Β Β Β Β All of the covenants in the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. All property-related covenants in the Credit Agreement are incorporated as though Mortgagor were the "Borrower" thereunder.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.1.3Β Β Β Β Operation of Mortgaged Property.Β Β Β Β Hold, lease, develop, manage, operate or otherwise use the Mortgaged Property upon such terms and conditions as Mortgagee may deem reasonable under the circumstances (making such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements and taking other actions, from time to time, as Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable), and apply all Rents and other amounts collected by Mortgagee in connection therewith in accordance with the provisions of SectionΒ 8 of the Credit Agreement.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.1.4Β Β Β Β Foreclosure and Sale.Β Β Β Β Institute proceedings for the complete foreclosure of this Mortgage, in which case the Mortgaged Property may be sold for cash or credit in one or more parcels. With respect to any notices required or permitted under the UCC, Mortgagor agrees that ten days prior written notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable. At any such sale by virtue of any judicial proceedings or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor, and against all other persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Mortgagor. Mortgagee may be a purchaser at such sale and if Mortgagee is the highest bidder, may credit the portion of the purchase price that would be distributed to Mortgagee against the Obligations in lieu of paying cash.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.1.5Β Β Β Β Receiver.Β Β Β Β Make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and without notice to Mortgagor or regard to the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property for the repayment of the Obligations, the appointment of

Any such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Mortgaged Property upon such terms as may be approved by the court, and shall apply such Rents in accordance with the provisions of SectionΒ 8 of the Credit Agreement.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.1.6Β Β Β Β Other.Β Β Β Β Exercise all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity (including an action for specific performance of any covenant contained in the Loan Documents, or a judgment on the Note either before, during or after any proceeding to enforce this Mortgage).
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.2Β Β Β Β Separate Sales.Β Β Β Β The Mortgaged Property may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may elect; the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.3Β Β Β Β Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Nonexclusive.Β Β Β Β Mortgagee shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Loan Documents and available at law or equity (including the UCC), which rights (a)Β shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b)Β may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Mortgagor or others obligated under the Note and the other Loan Documents, or against the Mortgaged Property, or against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Mortgagee, (c)Β may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d)Β are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive. No action by Mortgagee in the enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses under the Loan Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.4Β Β Β Β Release of and Resort to Collateral.Β Β Β Β Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the Mortgaged Property without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security interests created in or evidenced by the Loan Documents or their stature as a first and prior lien and security interest in and to the remaining Mortgaged Property. For payment of the Obligations, Mortgagee may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.5Β Β Β Β Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets.Β Β Β Β To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a)Β all benefit that might accrue to Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law or judicial decision exempting the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment, (b)Β all notices of any Event of Default or of Mortgagee's election to exercise or its actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Loan Documents, and (c)Β any right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.6Β Β Β Β Discontinuance of Proceedings.Β Β Β Β If Mortgagee shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Mortgagee shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Mortgaged Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Mortgagee shall continue as if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default that may then exist or the right of Mortgagee thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Loan Documents for such Event of Default.
5
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.7Β Β Β Β Application of Proceeds.Β Β Β Β The proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management, operation or other use of the Mortgaged Property, shall be applied by Mortgagee (or the receiver, if one is appointed) in the following order unless otherwise required by applicable law:
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.7.1Β Β to the payment of the costs and expenses of taking possession of the Mortgaged Property and of holding, using, leasing, repairing, improving and selling the same, including, without limitation (1)Β receiver's fees and expenses, (2)Β court costs, (3)Β reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees and expenses, (4)Β costs of advertisement, and (5)Β the payment of all ground rent, real estate taxes and assessments, except any taxes, assessments or other charges subject to which the Mortgaged Property shall have been sold;
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.7.2Β Β to the payment of all amounts (including interest), other than the unpaid principal balance of the Note and accrued but unpaid interest, which may be due to Mortgagee under the Loan Documents;
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.7.3Β Β to the payment of the Obligations and performance of the Covenants under the Loan Documents in such manner and order of preference as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may determine; and
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.7.4Β Β the balance, if any, to the payment of the persons legally entitled thereto.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.8Β Β Β Β Occupancy After Foreclosure.Β Β Β Β The purchaser at any foreclosure sale pursuant to SectionΒ 4.1.4 shall become the legal owner of the Mortgaged Property. All occupants of the Mortgaged Property shall, at the option of such purchaser, become tenants of the purchaser at the foreclosure sale and shall deliver possession thereof immediately to the purchaser upon demand. It shall not be necessary for the purchaser at said sale to bring any action for possession of the Mortgaged Property other than the statutory action of forcible detainer in any justice court having jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.9Β Β Β Β Protective Advances and Disbursements; Costs of Enforcement.Β Β Β Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.9.1Β Β If any Event of Default exists, Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor. All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Mortgagee under this Section, or otherwise under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or applicable law, shall bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced or expense incurred, to and including the date of reimbursement, computed at the interest rate applicable to overdue amounts under SectionΒ 2.15(c) of the Credit Agreement, and all such sums, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Mortgage.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.9.2Β Β Mortgagor shall pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or the enforcement, compromise or settlement of the Obligations or any claim under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and for the curing thereof, or for defending or asserting the rights and claims of Mortgagee in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.10Β Β Β Β No Mortgagee in Possession.Β Β Β Β Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Article, the assignment of the Rents and Leases under ArticleΒ 5, the security interests under ArticleΒ 6, nor any other remedies afforded to Mortgagee under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity shall cause Mortgagee to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Mortgagee to lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.4Β Β Β Β Replacement of Fixtures and Personalty.Β Β Β Β Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, permit any of the Fixtures or Personalty to be removed at any time from the Land or Improvements, unless the removed item is removed temporarily for maintenance and repair or, if removed permanently, is obsolete and is replaced by an article of equal or better suitability and value, owned by Mortgagor subject to the liens and security interests of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and free and clear of any other lien or security interest except such as may be first approved in writing by Mortgagee.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.5Β Β Β Β Maintenance of Rights of Way, Easements and Licenses.Β Β Β Β Mortgagor shall maintain all rights of way, easements, grants, privileges, licenses, certificates, permits, entitlements and franchises necessary for the use of the Mortgaged Property and will not, without the prior consent of Mortgagee, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to any public restriction (including any zoning ordinance) or private restriction as to the use of the Mortgaged Property.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.6Β Β Β Β Inspection.Β Β Β Β Mortgagor shall permit Mortgagee, and Mortgagee's agents, representatives and employees, upon reasonable prior notice to Mortgagor, to inspect the Mortgaged Property and conduct such environmental, engineering and other studies as Mortgagee may require, provided that such inspections and studies shall not materially interfere with the use and operation of the Mortgaged Property.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.7Β Β Β Β Other Covenants.Β Β Β Β All of the covenants in the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, including, without limitation, the provisions contained in the Credit Agreement regarding insurance, casualty, condemnation, leasing and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall furnish all information that Mortgagee may reasonably request from time to time concerning Mortgagor's compliance with the terms of the Lease. All property-related covenants in the Credit Agreement are incorporated as though Mortgagor were the "Borrower" thereunder.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.8Β Β Β Β Condemnation Awards and Insurance Proceeds.Β Β Β Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.8.1Β Β Β Β Condemnation Awards.Β Β Β Β To the extent permitted by the Lease, Mortgagor assigns all awards and compensation for any condemnation or other taking, or any purchase in lieu thereof, to Mortgagee and authorizes Mortgagee to collect and receive such awards and compensation and to give proper receipts and acquaintances therefor, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.8.2Β Β Β Β Insurance Proceeds.Β Β Β Β To the extent permitted by the Lease, Mortgagor assigns to Mortgagee all proceeds of any insurance policies insuring against loss or damage to the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor authorizes and directs the issuer of each of such insurance policies to make payment for all such losses to Mortgagor and Mortgagee jointly, to be released by Mortgagee or applied toward the prepayment of the Term Notes and reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) in accordance with the terms of Credit Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee shall make available to Mortgagor the foregoing awards, compensation and proceeds of condemnation and insurance, for the purpose of restoration and rebuilding the Mortgaged Property, to the same extent that Mortgagor or the borrowers would be entitled to retain Net Cash Proceeds in connection with a Recovery Event (as both of those terms are defined in the Credit Agreement), under the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.9Β Β Β Β Lease.Β Β Β Β Mortgagor represents, warrants and covenants the following with respect to the Lease:
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.9.1 Mortgagor has delivered to Mortgagee true, correct and complete copies of the Lease, including all amendments and modifications, written or oral, existing as of the date hereof. To Mortgagor's knowledge, no amendments or modifications are currently under discussion.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.9.2 Mortgagor shall not enter into any modifications or amendments of the Lease (except for those of an operational nature that do not affect the term, or economic terms, of the Lease) without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, not to be unreasonably withheld; it being understood that Mortgagee shall promptly respond to any requests made by Mortgagor pursuant to this paragraph.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.9.3 Except for any cure obligations necessary for the assumption of the Lease pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code, to Mortgagor's knowledge, no default now exists under
4
the Lease, and no event has occurred that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute such a default or would entitle Mortgagor or any other party under such Lease to cancel the same or otherwise avoid its obligations.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.9.4Β Β Β Β Except for this Mortgage or other assignments in favor of Mortgagee, Mortgagor has not executed any assignment or pledge of the Lease or of Mortgagor's right, title and interest in the same, which now is in effect.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.9.5Β Β Β Β This Mortgage conforms and complies with the terms of the Lease, does not constitute a violation under the Lease and is and at all times shall constitute a valid lien (subject only to those matters permitted by this Mortgage) on Mortgagor's interests in the Lease.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.9.6Β Β Β Β Promptly after the date hereof, and again promptly after execution of any amendment to this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall notify Landlord of the execution and delivery of this Mortgage or amendment, as the case may be.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.9.7Β Β Β Β Mortgagor hereby irrevocably delegates to Mortgagee the nonexclusive authority to exercise any or all of Mortgagor's rights, including the right to give any and all notices to Landlord under the Lease, whether or not Mortgagor has failed to exercise such right. Nothing in the foregoing delegation of authority shall be deemed to impose any obligation or duty upon Mortgagee. Notwithstanding such delegation of authority, Mortgagee grants Mortgagor a revocable exclusive license to exercise such authority which license may only be revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.9.8Β Β Β Β Mortgagor shall not default under the Lease. Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee a copy of any notice of default or termination that it receives from Landlord. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee of any request that either party to the Lease makes for arbitration pursuant to the Lease, and of the institution of any such arbitration. Upon an Event of Default, Mortgagee may participate in any such arbitration in such manner as Mortgagee shall reasonably determine appropriate, including, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, to the exclusion of Mortgagor.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.9.9Β Β Β Β Except as provided in the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall renew the Lease when and as permitted in accordance with its terms. Mortgagor shall not, without Mortgagee's consent, fail or refuse to take timely and appropriate action to renew the Lease when and as permitted by such Lease. Mortgagor shall not take action to end the Lease prior to the natural expiration (with all available renewals) of the term of the Lease without Mortgagee's consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.9.10Β Β Β Β Except as required by the Lease, Mortgagor shall not subordinate, or consent to the subordination of, the Lease to any deed of trust or other lien encumbering Landlord's estate in the Land.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.9.11Β Β Β Β Mortgagor's obligations under this Mortgage are independent of and in addition to Mortgagor's obligations under the Lease. Nothing in this Mortgage shall be construed to require Mortgagor or Mortgagee to take or omit to take any action that would cause a default under the Lease.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.9.12Β Β Β Β Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee after learning of the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceeding affecting Landlord or the occurrence of any event that could, with the passage of time, constitute such a proceeding. Mortgagor shall also promptly forward to Mortgagee copies of any documents, notices,
5
summonses and other documents that Mortgagor receives in connection with Landlord's bankruptcy or related proceeding.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.10Β Β Β Β Treatment of Lease in Bankruptcy.Β Β Β Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.10.1Β Β Β Β If Landlord rejects or disaffirms, or seeks or purports to reject or disaffirm, the Lease pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law, then Mortgagor shall not exercise the 365(h) Election except as otherwise provided in this paragraph. To the extent permitted by law, Mortgagor shall not suffer or permit the termination of any Lease by exercise of the 365(h) Election or otherwise without Mortgagee's consent. Mortgagor acknowledges that because the Lease is a primary element of Mortgagee's security for the Obligations secured hereunder, it is not anticipated that Mortgagee would consent to termination of the Lease. If Mortgagor makes any 365(h) Election in violation of this Mortgage, then such 365(h) Election shall be void and of no force or effect.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.10.2Β Β Β Β Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee the 365(h) Election with respect to the Lease until the Obligations secured hereunder have been satisfied in full. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing assignment of the 365(h) Election and related rights is one of the rights that Mortgagee may use at any time to protect and preserve Mortgagee's other rights and interests under this Mortgage. Mortgagor further acknowledges that exercise of the 365(h) Election in favor of terminating the Lease would constitute waste prohibited by this Mortgage.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.10.3Β Β Β Β Mortgagor acknowledges that if the 365(h) Election is exercised in favor of Mortgagor's remaining in possession under the Lease, then Mortgagor's resulting occupancy rights, as adjusted by the effect of SectionΒ 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall then be part of the Mortgaged Property and shall be subject to the lien of this Mortgage.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.11Β Β Β Β Rejection of Lease by Landlord.Β Β Β Β If Landlord rejects or disaffirms the Lease or purports or seeks to disaffirm such Lease pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law, then:
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.11.1Β Β Β Β Mortgagor shall remain in possession of the Land demised under the Lease and shall perform all acts necessary for Mortgagor to remain in such possession for the unexpired term of such Lease, whether the then existing terms and provisions of such Lease require such acts or otherwise; and
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.11.2Β Β Β Β All the terms and provisions of this Mortgage and the lien created by this Mortgage shall remain in full force and effect and shall extend automatically to all of Mortgagor's rights and remedies arising at any time under, or pursuant to, SectionΒ 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, including all of Mortgagor's rights to remain in possession of the Land.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.12Β Β Β Β Assignment of Claims to Mortgagee.Β Β Β Β Mortgagor, immediately upon learning that Landlord has failed to perform the terms and provisions under the Lease (including by reason of a rejection or disaffirmance or purported rejection or disaffirmance of such Lease pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law), shall notify Mortgagee of any such failure to perform. Mortgagor unconditionally assigns, transfers, and sets over to Mortgagee any and all Lease Damage Claims. This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable, and unconditional assignment of the Lease Damage Claims, and shall continue in effect until the Obligations secured hereunder have been satisfied in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee grants to Mortgagor a revocable license to exercise any Lease Damage Claims which license may only be revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.13Β Β Β Β Mortgagor's Acquisition of Interest in Leased Parcels.Β Β Β Β If Mortgagor acquires the fee or any other interest in the Land or Improvements, such acquired interest shall immediately become subject to the lien of this Mortgage as fully and completely, and with the same effect, as if
6
Mortgagor now owned it and as if this Mortgage specifically described it, without need for the delivery and/or recording of a supplement to this Mortgage or any other instrument. In the event of any such acquisition, the fee and leasehold interests in such Land or Improvements, unless Mortgagee elects otherwise in writing, remain separate and distinct and shall not merge, notwithstanding any principle of law to the contrary.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.14Β Β Β Β New Lease Issued to Mortgagee.Β Β Β Β If the Lease is for any reason whatsoever terminated before the expiration of its term and, pursuant to any provision of the Lease, Mortgagee or its designee shall acquire from Landlord a new lease of the relevant leased premises, then Mortgagor shall have no right, title or interest in or to such new lease or the estate created thereby.

If Mortgagor remains in possession of the Mortgaged Property after an Event of Default and without Mortgagee's prior written consent, Mortgagee may invoke any legal remedies to dispossess Mortgagor.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.1.3Β Β Β Β Operation of Mortgaged Property.Β Β Β Β Hold, lease, develop, manage, operate or otherwise use the Mortgaged Property upon such terms and conditions as Mortgagee may deem reasonable under the circumstances (making such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements and taking other actions, from time to time, as Mortgagee deems necessary or desirable), and apply all Rents and other amounts collected by Mortgagee in connection therewith in accordance with the provisions of SectionΒ 8 of the Credit Agreement.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.1.4Β Β Β Β Foreclosure and Sale.Β Β Β Β Institute proceedings for the complete foreclosure of this Mortgage, in which case the Mortgaged Property may be sold for cash or credit in one or more parcels. With respect to any notices required or permitted under the UCC, Mortgagor agrees that ten days prior written notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable. At any such sale by virtue of any judicial proceedings or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor, and against all other persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Mortgagor. Mortgagee may be a purchaser at such sale and if Mortgagee is the highest bidder, may credit the portion of the purchase price that would be distributed to Mortgagee against the Obligations in lieu of paying cash.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.1.5Β Β Β Β Receiver.Β Β Β Β Make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and without notice to Mortgagor or regard to the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property for the repayment of the Obligations, the appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor irrevocably consents to such appointment. Any such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in
7
similar cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Mortgaged Property upon such terms as may be approved by the court, and shall apply such Rents in accordance with the provisions of SectionΒ 8 of the Credit Agreement.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.2Β Β Β Β Separate Sales.Β Β Β Β The Mortgaged Property may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may elect; the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.3Β Β Β Β Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Nonexclusive.Β Β Β Β Mortgagee shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Loan Documents and available at law or equity (including the UCC), which rights (a)Β shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b)Β may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Mortgagor or others obligated under the Note and the other Loan Documents, or against the Mortgaged Property, or against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Mortgagee, (c)Β may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d)Β are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive. No action by Mortgagee in the enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses under the Loan Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.4Β Β Β Β Release of and Resort to Collateral.Β Β Β Β Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the Mortgaged Property without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security interests created in or evidenced by the Loan Documents or their stature as a first and prior lien and security interest in and to the remaining Mortgaged Property. For payment of the Obligations, Mortgagee may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.5Β Β Β Β Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets.Β Β Β Β To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a)Β all benefit that might accrue to Mortgagor by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law or judicial decision exempting the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment, (b)Β all notices of any Event of Default or of Mortgagee's election to exercise or its actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Loan Documents, and (c)Β any right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.6Β Β Β Β Discontinuance of Proceedings.Β Β Β Β If Mortgagee shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Mortgagee shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Mortgaged Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Mortgagee shall continue as if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default that may then exist or the right of Mortgagee thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Loan Documents for such Event of Default.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.7Β Β Β Β Application of Proceeds.Β Β Β Β The proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management, operation or other use of the Mortgaged Property,

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.8Β Β Β Β Occupancy After Foreclosure.Β Β Β Β The purchaser at any foreclosure sale pursuant to SectionΒ 4.1.4 shall become the legal owner of the Mortgaged Property.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.10.Β Β Β Β No Mortgagee in Possession.Β Β Β Β Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Article, the assignment of the Rents and Space Leases under ArticleΒ 5, the security interests under ArticleΒ 6, nor any other remedies afforded to Mortgagee under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity shall cause Mortgagee to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Mortgagee to lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Space Leases or otherwise.

The Loan Documents and the Guaranty Agreement are sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Transaction Documents."
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β In our examination of the Loan Documents and the other Documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the completeness of all of the Documents, the authenticity of all originals of the Documents and the conformity to authentic originals of all of the Documents submitted to us as copies (including telecopies). As to matters of fact relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied on the representations and statements of fact made in the Documents, we have not independently established the facts so relied on, and we have not made
any investigation or inquiry other than our examination of the Documents. This opinion letter is given, and all statements herein are made, in the context of the foregoing.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β As used in this opinion letter, the phrase "to our knowledge" means the actual knowledge (that is, the conscious awareness of facts or other information) of lawyers currently in the firm who have given substantive legal attention to representation of the Company and RCI in connection with the Loan Documents.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β For purposes of this opinion letter, we have assumed that (i)Β each of the parties to the Transaction Documents (other than, with respect to the Loan Documents only, the Company and the Applicable Guarantors, as applicable) has all requisite power and authority under all applicable laws, regulations and governing documents to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and each of such parties has complied with all legal requirements pertaining to their status as such status relates to their rights to enforce the Transaction Documents against the Company, RCI and the Guarantors, (ii)Β each of the parties to the Transaction Documents (other than, with respect to the Loan Documents only, the Company and the Applicable Guarantors, as applicable) has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, (iii)Β each of the parties to the Transaction Documents (other than, with respect to the Loan Documents only, the Company and the Applicable Guarantors, as applicable) is validly existing and in good standing in all necessary jurisdictions, (iv)Β the Transaction Documents constitute valid and binding obligations of each party thereto (other than, with respect to the Loan Documents only, the Company, RCI and the Guarantors, as applicable), enforceable against each such party in accordance with their respective terms, (v)Β there has been no mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding or fraud, duress or undue influence in connection with the negotiation, execution or delivery of the Transaction Documents, and the conduct of all parties to the Transaction Documents has complied with any requirements of good faith, fair dealing and conscionability, and (vi)Β there are and have been no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is and has been no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties that would, in either case, define, supplement or qualify the terms of the Transaction Documents. We have also assumed the validity and constitutionality of each relevant statute, rule, regulation and agency action covered by this opinion letter.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β For purposes of the opinions set forth in paragraphs (f), (g), (h), and (i)Β below, we have made the following further assumptions: (i)Β the execution, delivery and performance by the Company, RCI and the Guarantors of the Guaranty Agreement was duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, RCI and the Guarantors as of the date each became a party thereto and (ii)Β immediately prior to the execution and delivery of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Confirmation Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement had been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company, RCI and each of the Guarantors, as applicable, and constituted a valid and binding obligation of the Company, RCI and each such Guarantor, as applicable, enforceable against the Company, RCI and each such Guarantor, as applicable, in accordance with its terms.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β For purposes of the opinions set forth in paragraphs (j)Β and (k)Β below, we have made the following further assumptions: (i)Β that all orders, judgments, decrees, agreements and contracts referred to therein would be enforced as written; (ii)Β that none of the parties to the Transaction Documents will in the future take any discretionary action (including a decision not to act) permitted under the Transaction Documents that would result in a violation of law or constitute a breach or default under any order, judgment, decree, agreement or contract; (iii)Β that each of the parties to the Transaction Documents will obtain all permits and governmental approvals required in the future, and take all actions required, relevant to subsequent consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents or performance of the Transaction Documents after the date hereof; and (iv)Β that all parties to the Transaction Documents will act in accordance with, and will refrain from taking any action that is forbidden by, the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β We have acted as counsel to Regal Cinemas,Β Inc., a Tennessee corporation (the "Local Loan Party") in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of AugustΒ 12, 2002 (the "Credit Agreement"), by and among, among others, Regal Cinemas Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("RCC"), the Local Loan Party (together with RCC, the "Borrowers"), the Lenders party thereto, Xxxxxx Commercial PaperΒ Inc., as agent for the Lenders (the "Administrative Agent"), and Credit Suisse First Boston, as syndication agent for the Lenders (the "Syndication Agent").
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β This opinion is rendered to you pursuant to SectionΒ 5.1(k)(ii)Β of the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms defined in the Credit Agreement, used herein, and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings given them in the Credit Agreement.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β In so acting, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of the Credit Agreement, the Confirmation Agreement and the Tranche C Term Notes (collectively, the "Transaction Documents").
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Local Loan Party, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth. The Transaction Documents provide that they are governed by the laws of the State of New York, and we have assumed that a court considering the issue would respect that choice.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β In making such examination and in expressing our opinions, we have assumed, without investigation or inquiry:
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Β the due organization and existence of all parties to the Transaction Documents other than the Local Loan Party,
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by all parties thereto other than the Local Loan Party, in substantially the form submitted to us, duly completed in a full, accurate and consistent manner,
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β Β that all parties to the Transaction Documents other than the Local Loan Party have the legal right, power and authority to enter into the Transaction Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, and
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β Β that all signatures on any executed documents furnished to us are genuine, all original documents submitted to us are authentic originals and all certified or other reproductions of documents submitted to us conform to the original document.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β As to various issues of fact, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Local Loan Party and upon the representations and warranties of the Local Loan Party set forth in the Credit Agreement and the Confirmation Agreement. Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that:
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 1.Β Β Β Β The Local Loan Party is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Tennessee and has all requisite corporate power and corporate authority (i)Β to execute and deliver each of the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder and under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, as amended by the Confirmation Agreement (as so amended, the "Amended Guarantee") and (ii)Β to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Based solely on certificates of public officials in the jurisdictions identified in ScheduleΒ I hereto, the Local Loan Party is qualified to transact business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction identified in ScheduleΒ I hereto.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 2.Β Β Β Β The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents by the Local Loan Party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Local Loan Party. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly executed and delivered by the Local Loan Party.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 3.Β Β Β Β The execution and delivery by the Local Loan Party of the Transaction Documents and the performance by the Local Loan Party of its obligations thereunder and under the Amended Guarantee will not violate any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the charter or by-laws of the Local Loan Party.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4.Β Β Β Β The execution and delivery by the Local Loan Party of the Transaction Documents and the performance by the Local Loan Party of its obligations thereunder and under the Amended Guarantee will not violate (i)Β Tennessee corporate law or (ii)Β any judgment, writ, injunction, decree, order or ruling of any court or Tennessee Governmental Authority of which we have knowledge binding on the Local Loan Party.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 5.Β Β Β Β No consent, approval, waiver, license or authorization or other action by or filing with any Tennessee Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Local Loan Party of the Transaction Documents.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 6.Β Β Β Β Except for nominal filing fees, no taxes or other impositions, including intangible, documentary, stamp, mortgage, transfer or recording taxes or similar charges, are payable to the State of Tennessee or to any jurisdiction located therein on account of the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, the creation of the liens and security interests thereunder or the filing or recording thereof, except:
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Β Tenn. Code Xxx. Β§ 67-4-409(b) imposes a tax on the privilege of publicly recording or filing any instrument "evidencing an indebtedness", including deeds of trust and financing statements, in the amount of eleven and one-half cents (11.5Β’) for each one hundred dollars
2
($100), or major fraction thereof, of principal indebtedness in excess of two thousand dollars ($2,000).
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Where any part of the property standing as security for a debt is located part within and part without Tennessee, only such proportion of the amount covered by the instrument shall be taxed as the value of the property within the state bears to the whole property. "Value" means only that value which the property would command at a fair and voluntary sale. No subsequent change in the value of either the property inside or the property outside Tennessee shall result in the imposition of additional tax. Tenn. Code Xxx. Β§ 67-4-409(b)(7).
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β In the event of an increase in the indebtedness beyond the amount stated subsequent to the filing or recordation of the instrument, the holder of the indebtedness shall pay the tax on the amount of the increase. Such a payment shall be due on the date the increase occurs, but may be made without penalty if made within sixty (60)Β days after the increase occurs. Thereafter, such payment may be made only upon payment of the penalty provided in subdivision (b)(12) based on the amount of the increase in the indebtedness. Tenn. Code Xxx. Β§ 67-4-409(b)(8).
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Assuming that (i)Β the appropriate amount of tax was paid upon filing of financing statements in connection with the Original Credit Agreement, and (ii)Β there has been no increase in the maximum principal indebtedness evidenced thereby, no additional tax is required to be paid solely as a result of the transactions described in the Transaction Documents.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Nonpayment or underpayment of the tax described above does not affect or impair the effectiveness or priority of the security interest or lien created or evidenced by the instrument recorded or filed. Tenn. Code Xxx. Β§ 67-4-409(b)(10)(A).
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β Title 67, Chapter 4, Parts 20 and 21 of Tennessee Code Annotated subject foreign financial institutions investing in loans in Tennessee to certain franchise and excise taxes imposed by the state. The franchise tax is computed at the rate of 25 cents per $100 of the tax base, which is the greater of (i)Β the total of outstanding stock, surplus, undivided profits, non-liability reserves and affiliated indebtedness attributable to the transaction of business in Tennessee, or (ii)Β the book value (without reduction for debt) of all real and tangible personal property owned or used by the financial institution in Tennessee. The excise tax is computed at the rate of 6% on a financial institution's net income from business conducted in Tennessee (generally federal taxable income with certain adjustments). Financial institutions doing business both within and outside of Tennessee are permitted to apportion their franchise and excise tax bases among Tennessee and the other jurisdictions. In the case of the excise tax, this is accomplished by multiplying the institution's business earnings by a fraction, the numerator of which is the institution's total business receipts from Tennessee transactions and the denominator of which is the institution's total business receipts from all jurisdictions. The statute establishes a variety of rules for purposes of determining when such business earnings are properly attributable to Tennessee. Similar rules apply for purposes of apportioning the franchise tax except that the fraction is applied to the applicable franchise tax base (the greater of capital and surplus, or the book value of tangible assets located in Tennessee).
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β In X.X. Xxxxxx National Bank x. Xxxxxxx, No. M1998-00497-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App., DecemberΒ 17, 1999), the Tennessee Court of Appeals held that under the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, an out-of-state credit card issuer who had no physical presence in Tennessee (either directly or through affiliates, agents, or other representatives) lacked a sufficient "substantial nexus" to sustain liability for Tennessee franchise and excise taxes. The case was appealed to the Tennessee Supreme Court, and this appeal was denied. A petition for certiorari to the United States Supreme Court also was denied.

Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement, dated as of JanuaryΒ 29, 2002 (as amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), among Regal Cinemas Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Holdings"), Regal Cinemas,Β Inc., a Tennessee corporation ("Regal" and, together with Holdings, the "Borrowers"), each bank and other financial institution or entity from time to time party thereto, Xxxxxx BrothersΒ Inc., as advisor, lead arranger and book manager, Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, as syndication agent, General Electric Capital Corporation, as syndication agent and Xxxxxx Commercial PaperΒ Inc., as administrative agent (in such capacity and including its successors and assigns, the "Administrative Agent").
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β The unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time outstanding shall bear interest at a rate equal to the interest rate applicable to the Senior Subordinated Notes. Interest shall be due and payable on each day that interest is due and payable by the Payee on the Senior Subordinated Notes. Upon demand for payment of any principal amount hereof, accrued but unpaid interest on such principal amount shall also be due and payable. Interest shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Payments of amounts owing under this High-Yield Proceeds Note may be shown on ScheduleΒ A hereto, but the failure to show any such payments or any error in showing any such payments shall not affect the obligations of Payor hereunder.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Payor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights hereunder on the part of the holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of such rights.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β This High-Yield Proceeds Note has been pledged by Payee to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for Payee's Obligations under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Payee is a party. Payor acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may exercise all the rights of the Payee under this High-Yield Proceeds Note and will not be subject to any abatement, reduction, recoupment, defense, setoff or counterclaim available to Payor.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Payee agrees that any and all claims of Payee against Payor, or against any of its respective properties, shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until all of the Obligations have been performed and paid in full in cash in immediately available funds, no Letters of Credit are outstanding and the Commitments have been terminated; provided, that Payor may make payments to Payee hereunder so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided, further, that all loans and advances made by Payee pursuant to this High-Yield Proceeds Note shall be received by the Payor subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement including, without limitation, the provisions thereof relating to mandatory prepayment. Notwithstanding any right of Payee to ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive any payment from Payor, all rights, Liens and security interests of Payee, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of Payor (whether constituting part of the security or collateral given to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to secure payment of all or any part of the Obligations or otherwise) shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in such assets. Except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, Payee shall have no right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon, or exercise any other remedy in respect
of, any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Obligations shall have been performed and paid in full in cash in immediately available funds, no Letters of Credit are outstanding and the Commitments have been terminated.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β If all or any part of the assets of Payor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of Payor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of Payor is dissolved or if (except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement) all or substantially all of the assets of Payor are sold, then, and in any such event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other investment property, or otherwise, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of Payor to Payee ("Payor Indebtedness") shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application to any of the Obligations, due or to become due, until the date on which the Obligations shall have been performed and paid in full in cash in immediately available funds, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall have been terminated. Payee irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints the Administrative Agent as Payee's attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable) to demand, xxx for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution and give acquittance therefor and to make and present for and on behalf of Payee such proofs of claim and take such other action, in the Administrative Agent's own name or in the name of Payee or otherwise, as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement of this High-Yield Proceeds Note. Payee also agrees to execute, verify, deliver and file any such proofs of claim in respect of the Payor Indebtedness requested by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may vote such proofs of claim in any proceeding (and the applicable Payee shall not be entitled to withdraw such vote), receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or disbursements made on Payor Indebtedness in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and apply the same on account of any of the Obligations. Except as otherwise expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, should any payment, distribution, security or other investment property or instrument or any proceeds thereof be received by Payee upon or with respect to Payor Indebtedness owing to Payee prior to such time as the Obligations have been performed and paid in full in cash in immediately available funds, no Letters of Credit are outstanding and the Commitments have been terminated, Payee shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of Payee where necessary or advisable in the Administrative Agent's judgment), for application to any of the Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be segregated from the other assets of Payee and held in trust by Payee as the property of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. If Payee fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, employees or representatives are hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same. Payee agrees that until the Obligations have been performed and paid in full in cash in immediately available funds, no Letters of Credit are outstanding and the Commitments have been terminated, Payee will not (i)Β assign or transfer, or agree to assign or transfer, to any Person (other than in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or otherwise) any claim Payee has or may have against Payor, (ii)Β discount or extend the time for payment of Payor Indebtedness, or (iii)Β otherwise amend, modify, supplement, waive or fail to enforce any provision of this High-Yield Proceeds Note.
