Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify the amount of the
Commitments to be terminated or reduced. Each such notice of borrowing,
Conversion, Continuation or optional prepayment shall specify the Loans to be
borrowed, Converted, Continued or prepaid and the amount (subject to Section
4.04 hereof) and Type of each Loan to be borrowed, Converted, Continued or
prepaid and the date of borrowing, Conversion, Continuation or optional

Conversion or Continuation, as the case may be, shall be accompanied by a
certificate of the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation
of the Aggregate Projected Loan Amount as of the date of such borrowing,
Conversion or Continuation, as the case may be. Each such notice of the
duration of an Interest Period shall specify the Loans to which such Interest
Period is to relate. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Lenders of the contents of each notice referred to in this Section 4.05. In the
event that the Company fails to select the Type of Loan, or the duration of any

Loan) will be automatically Converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of
the then current Interest Period for such Loan or (if outstanding as a Base

Rate Loan. In addition, not later than 10:00 a.m. New York time on each Base
Rate Continuation Date the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a
certificate of the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation
of the Aggregate Projected Loan Amount as of such date.
4.06 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or the Company (the
"Payor") prior to the date on which the Payor is to make payment to the
Administrative Agent of (in the case of a Lender) the proceeds of a Loan to be
made by such Lender hereunder or (in the case of the Company) a payment to the
Administrative Agent for account of one or more of the Lenders hereunder (such
payment being herein called the "Required Payment"), which notice shall be
effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required
Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption
(but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the
intended recipient(s) on such date; and, if the Payor has not in fact made the
Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment
shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made
Credit Agreement
28
- 24 -
available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the
period commencing on the date (the "Advance Date") such amount was so made
available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent
recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for
such day and, if such recipient(s) shall fail promptly to make such payment,
the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, on demand,
from the Payor, together with interest as aforesaid, provided that if neither
the recipient(s) nor the Payor shall return the Required Payment to the
Administrative Agent within three Business Days of the Advance Date, then,
retroactively to the Advance Date, the Payor and the recipient(s) shall each be
obligated to pay interest on the Required Payment as follows:
(i) if the Required Payment shall represent a payment to be
made by the Company to the Lenders, the Company and the recipient(s)
shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay
interest in respect of the Required Payment at the Post-Default Rate
(without duplication of the obligation of the Company under Section
3.02 hereof to pay interest on the Required Payment at the
Post-Default Rate), it being understood that the return by the
recipient(s) of the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent shall
not limit such obligation of the Company under said Section 3.02 to
pay interest at the Post-Default Rate in respect of the Required
Payment; and
(ii) if the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a
Loan to be made by a Lender to the Company, the Payor and the Company
shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay
interest in respect of the Required Payment pursuant to whichever of
the rates specified in Section 3.02 hereof is applicable to the Type
of such Loan, it being understood that the return by the Company of
the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent shall not limit any
claim the Company may have against the Payor in respect of such
Required Payment.
4.07 Sharing of Payments, Etc.
(a) The Company agrees that, in addition to (and without
limitation of) any right of set-off, banker's lien or counterclaim a Lender may
otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (to the fullest
extent permitted by law), to set off and apply any deposit (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final), or other indebtedness, held by it for
the credit or account of the Company at any of its offices,
Credit Agreement
29
- 25 -
in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on
any of such Lender's Loans or any other amount payable to such Lender
hereunder, that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such deposit or
other indebtedness is then due to the Company), in which case it shall promptly
notify the Company and the Administrative Agent thereof, provided that such
Lender's failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.
(b) If any Lender shall obtain from the Company payment of
any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other
amount under this Agreement or any other Credit Document through the exercise
of any right of set-off, banker's lien or counterclaim or similar right or
otherwise (other than from the Administrative Agent as provided herein), and,
as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received a greater
percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans or such other amounts
then due hereunder or thereunder by the Company to such Lender than the
percentage received by any other Lender, it shall promptly purchase from such
other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such
Lender, direct interests in) the Loans or such other amounts, respectively,
owing to such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in
such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be
equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such
excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in
obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the
unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts,
respectively, owing to each of the Lenders. To such end all the Lenders shall
make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations
sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.
(c) The Company agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a
participation (or direct interest) may exercise all rights of set-off, banker's
lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the
case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation (and the
Company's obligations will be reduced accordingly).
(d) Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to
exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise,
and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other
indebtedness or obligation of the Company. If, under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency
Credit Agreement
30
- 26 -
or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off
to which this Section 4.07 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent
practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner
consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 4.07 to
share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
Section 5. Yield Protection, Etc.
5.01 Additional Costs.
(a) The Company shall pay directly to each Lender from time
to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate
such Lender for any costs that such Lender determines are attributable to its
making or maintaining of any Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make any
Eurodollar Loans hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such
Lender hereunder in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation, resulting
from any Regulatory Change that:
(i) shall subject any Lender (or its Applicable Lending
Office for any of such Loans) to any tax, duty or other charge in
respect of such Loans or its Revolving Credit Note or change the basis
of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement
or its Revolving Credit Note in respect of any of such Loans
(excluding changes in the taxation of the overall net income of such
Lender or of such Applicable Lending Office by the jurisdiction in
which such Lender has its principal office or such Applicable Lending
Office), provided that this Section 5.01(a)(i) shall not apply to any
amounts excluded pursuant to the proviso to Section 5.06(a) hereof; or
(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or
similar requirements (other than the Reserve Requirement utilized in
the determination of the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan) relating to
any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or
other liabilities of, such Lender (including, without limitation, any
of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of
"Eurodollar Base Rate" in Section 1.01 hereof), or any commitment of
such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitment of such
Lender hereunder); or
(iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement
or its Revolving Credit Note (or any of such extensions of credit or
liabilities) or its Commitment.
Credit Agreement

- 27 -
If any Lender requests compensation from the Company under this Section
5.01(a), the Company may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender thereafter to make
or Continue Eurodollar Loans, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar
Loans, until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in
effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.04 hereof shall be
applicable), provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such
Lender to receive the compensation so requested.
(b) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions
of this Section 5.01 (but without duplication), the Company shall pay directly
to each Lender from time to time on request such amounts as such Lender may
determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender (or, without duplication,
the bank holding company of which such Lender is a subsidiary) for any costs
that it determines are attributable to the maintenance by such Lender (or any
Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company), pursuant to any law or
regulation or any interpretation, directive or request (whether or not having
the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be
unlawful) of any court or Governmental Authority (i) following any Regulatory
Change or (ii) implementing any risk-based capital guideline or other
requirement (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not the
failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) hereafter issued by any
Governmental Authority implementing at the national level the Basle Accord, of
capital in respect of its Commitment or Loans (such compensation to include,
without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on
assets or equity of such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank
holding company) to a level below that which such Lender (or any Applicable
Lending Office or such bank holding company) could have achieved but for such
law, regulation, interpretation, directive or request).
(c) Each Lender shall notify the Company of any event
occurring after the date hereof entitling such Lender to compensation under
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5.01 as promptly as practicable, but in
any event within 45 days, after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof;
provided that (i) if any Lender fails to give such notice within 45 days after
it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect
to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 5.01 in respect of any costs
resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 5.01
for costs incurred from and after the date 45 days prior to the date that such
Lender does give such notice and (ii) each Lender will
Credit Agreement
32
- 28 -
designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Lender
affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce
the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such
Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender, except that such Lender shall have
no obligation to designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United
States of America. Each Lender will furnish to the Company a certificate
setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Lender for
compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5.01. Determinations
and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 5.01 of the effect
of any Regulatory Change pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 5.01, or of
the effect of capital maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section
5.01, on its costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or its obligation to
make Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the
amounts required to compensate such Lender under this Section 5.01, shall be
conclusive, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a
reasonable basis.
5.02 Limitation on Types of Loans. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any
Eurodollar Base Rate for any Interest Period:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines, which determination
shall be conclusive, that quotations of interest rates for the
relevant deposits referred to in the definition of "Eurodollar Base
Rate" in Section 1.01 hereof are not being provided in the relevant
amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining
rates of interest for Eurodollar Loans as provided herein; or
(b) the Majority Lenders determine, which determination shall
be conclusive, and notify the Administrative Agent that the relevant
rates of interest referred to in the definition of "Eurodollar Base
Rate" in Section 1.01 hereof upon the basis of which the rate of
interest for Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period is to be
determined are not likely adequately to cover the cost to such Lenders
of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give the Company and each Lender prompt
notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders
shall be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar Loans, to Continue
Eurodollar Loans or to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, and the
Company
Credit Agreement
33
- 29 -
shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the
outstanding Eurodollar Loans, either prepay such Loans or Convert such Loans
into Base Rate Loans in accordance with Section 2.08 hereof.
5.03 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its
Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain
Eurodollar Loans hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of such Lender, the
designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid
such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender
shall promptly notify the Company thereof (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) and such Lender's obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of
any other Type into, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such time as
such Lender may again make and maintain Eurodollar Loans (in which case the
provisions of Section 5.04 hereof shall be applicable).
5.04 Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any
Lender to make Eurodollar Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans
into, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.03
hereof, such Lender's Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically Converted into
Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for
Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion resulting from a circumstance
described in Section 5.03 hereof, on such earlier date as such Lender may
specify to the Company with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and
until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances
specified in Section 5.01 or 5.03 hereof that gave rise to such Conversion no
longer exist:
(a) to the extent that such Lender's Eurodollar Loans have
been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that
would otherwise be applied to such Lender's Eurodollar Loans shall be
applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by
such Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be made or Continued instead as
Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would
otherwise be Converted into Eurodollar Loans shall remain as Base Rate
Loans.
If such Lender gives notice to the Company with a copy to the Administrative
Agent that the circumstances specified in Section 5.01 or 5.03 hereof that gave
rise to the Conversion of
Credit Agreement
34
- 30 -
such Lender's Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 5.04 no longer exist
(which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to
exist) at a time when Eurodollar Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding,
such Lender's Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first
day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding
Eurodollar Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto,
all Base Rate and Eurodollar Loans are allocated among the Lenders ratably (as
to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their
respective Commitments.
5.05 Compensation. The Company shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for account of each Lender, upon the request of such
Lender through the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be
sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any
loss (other than lost profit), cost or expense that such Lender reasonably
determines is attributable to:
(a) any payment, prepayment or Conversion of a Eurodollar
Loan made by such Lender for any reason (including, without
limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9
hereof) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for
such Loan; or
(b) any failure by the Company for any reason (including,
without limitation, the failure of any of the conditions precedent
specified in Section 6 hereof to be satisfied) to borrow a Eurodollar
Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing specified in the
relevant notice of borrowing given pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof.
Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall
include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid,
Converted or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment,
prepayment, Conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current
Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the
Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date specified
for such borrowing) at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan provided
for herein (but excluding the Applicable Margin, if any) over (ii) the amount
of interest that otherwise would have accrued on such principal amount at a
rate per annum equal to the interest component of the amount such Lender would
have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading banks in
amounts
Credit Agreement
35
- 31 -
comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such
period (as reasonably determined by such Lender), or if such Lender shall cease
to make such bids, the equivalent rate, as reasonably determined by such
Lender, derived from Telerate Access Service Page 3750 (British Bankers
Association Settlement Rate) or other publicly available source as described in
the definition of "Eurodollar Base Rate" in Section 1.01 hereof).
5.06 U.S. Taxes.
(a) The Company agrees to pay to each Lender that is not a
U.S. Person such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net
payment of any amount due to such non-U.S. Person hereunder after deduction for
or withholding in respect of any U.S. Taxes imposed with respect to such
payment (or in lieu thereof, payment of such U.S. Taxes by such non-U.S.
Person), will not be less than the amount stated herein to be then due and
payable, provided that the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts
shall not apply:
(i) to any payment to any Lender hereunder unless such
Lender is, on the date hereof (or on the date it becomes a Lender
hereunder as provided in Section 11.06(b) hereof) and on the date of
any change in the Applicable Lending Office of such Lender, entitled
to submit either a Form 1001 (relating to such Lender and entitling it
to a complete exemption from withholding on all interest to be
received by it hereunder in respect of the Loans) or Form 4224
(relating to all interest to be received by such Lender hereunder in
respect of the Loans), or
(ii) to any U.S. Taxes to the extent imposed by reason of the
failure by such non-U.S. Person to comply with applicable
certification, information, documentation or other reporting
requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or
connections with the United States of America of such non-U.S. Person
if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United
States of America as a precondition to reduction of or relief or
exemption from such U.S. Taxes.
For the purposes of this Section 5.06(a), (A) "U.S. Person" shall mean a
citizen, national or resident of the United States of America, a corporation,
partnership or other entity created or organized in or under any laws of the
United States of America or any State thereof, or any estate or trust that is

the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States) of the Department of
the Treasury of the United States of America (or in relation to either such
Form such successor and related forms as may from time to time be adopted by
the relevant taxing authorities of the United States of America to document a
claim to which such Form relates). Each of the Forms referred to in the
foregoing clauses (C) and (D) shall include such successor and related forms as
may from time to time be adopted by the relevant taxing authorities of the
United States of America to document a claim to which such Form relates.
(b) Within 30 days after paying any amount to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender from which it is required by law to make any
deduction or withholding, and within 30 days after it is required by law to
remit such deduction or withholding to any relevant taxing or other authority,
the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for delivery to such
non-U.S. Person evidence satisfactory to such Person of such deduction,
withholding or payment (as the case may be).
5.07 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests
compensation pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.06 hereof, or any Lender's
obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any Type into, the other
Type of Loan shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.03 hereof (any
such Lender requesting such compensation, or whose obligations are so
suspended, being herein called a "Requesting Lender"), the Company, upon three
Business Days' notice, may require that such Requesting Lender transfer all of
its right, title and interest under this Agreement and such Requesting Lender's
Revolving Credit Note to any bank or other financial institution (a "Proposed
Lender") identified by the Company that is satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent (i) if such Proposed Lender agrees to assume all of the obligations of
such Requesting Lender hereunder, and to purchase all of such Requesting
Lender's Loans hereunder for consideration equal to the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of such Requesting Lender's Loans, together with interest
accrued thereon to the date of such purchase, and satisfactory arrangements are
made for payment to such Requesting Lender of all other amounts payable
hereunder to such Requesting Lender on or prior to the date of such transfer
(including any fees accrued hereunder and
Credit Agreement

any amounts that would be payable under Section 5 hereof as if all of such
Requesting Lender's Loans were being prepaid in full on such date) and (ii) if
such Requesting Lender has requested compensation pursuant to Section 5.01 or
5.06 hereof, such Proposed Lender's aggregate requested compensation, if any,
pursuant to said Section 5.01 or 5.06 with respect to such Requesting Lender's
Loans is lower than that of the Requesting Lender. Subject to the provisions
of Section 11.06(b) hereof, such Proposed Lender shall be a "Lender" for all
purposes hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement
of the Company hereunder the agreements of the Company contained in Sections
5.01, 5.06 and 11.03 hereof (without duplication of any payments made to such
Requesting Lender by the Company or the Proposed Lender) shall survive for the

laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; (b) has all requisite corporate
or other power, and has all material Governmental Approvals necessary, to own
its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be
conducted with such exceptions as could not reasonably be likely (either
individually or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) is
qualified to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which
the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary
and where failure so to qualify could reasonably be likely (either individually
or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect.

furnished to each of the Lenders the balance sheet of the Company as at
December 31, 1995 and the related statements of income, retained earnings and
cash flows of the Company for the fiscal year ended on said date, with the
opinion thereon of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, and the unaudited balance sheet of
the Company as at June 30, 1996 and the related statements of income, retained
earnings and cash flows of the Company for the six-month period ended on such

said dates and the results of its operations for the fiscal year and six-month
period ended on said dates (subject, in the case of such financial statements
as at June 30, 1996, to normal year-end audit adjustments), all in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and practices applied on a
consistent basis. Since December 31, 1995, there has been no material adverse
change in the financial condition, operations or business of the Company from
that set forth in said financial statements as at said date, except such as
could not reasonably be likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
7.03 Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule III hereto,
there are no legal or arbitral proceedings, or any proceedings by or before any
Governmental Authority, now pending or (to the knowledge of the Company)
threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably
be likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
7.04 No Breach. None of the execution and delivery of the
Credit Documents to which it is a party, the consummation of the transactions
herein and therein contemplated or compliance with the terms and provisions
hereof and thereof will conflict with or result in a breach of, or require any
consent (other than any consent which has been obtained and is in full force
and effect) under, the LLC Agreement, or any applicable law or regulation, or
any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Authority,
or any agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
is a party or by which any of them or any of their Property is bound or to
which any of them is subject, or constitute a default under any such agreement
or instrument, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any
Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any
such agreement or instrument (other than any Liens in favor of Motorola).
7.05 Action. The Company has all necessary power, authority
and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of
the Credit Documents to which it is a party; the execution, delivery and
performance by the Company of each of the Credit Documents to which it is a
party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on its part (including,
without limitation, any required member or shareholder approvals); and this
Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and
constitutes, and each of the Revolving Credit Notes when executed and delivered
for value will
Credit Agreement
42
- 38 -
constitute, its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against the
Company in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights.
7.06 Approvals. No authorizations, approvals or consents of,
and no filings or registrations with, any Governmental Authority, or any
securities exchange, are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance
by the Company of any of the Credit Documents to which it is a party or for the
legality, validity or enforceability hereof or thereof.
7.07 Use of Credit. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in
the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental
or ultimate, of buying or carrying Margin Stock, and no part of the proceeds of
the Loans hereunder will be used to buy or carry any Margin Stock.
7.08 ERISA. Each Plan, and, to the knowledge of the Company,
each Multiemployer Plan, of the Company is in material compliance with, and has
been administered in material compliance with, the applicable provisions of
ERISA, the U.S. Tax Code and any other U.S. Federal or State law. No event or
condition has occurred and is continuing as to which the Company would be under
an obligation to furnish a report to the Administrative Agent under Section
8.01(d) hereof (other than any event or condition as to which a report has been
given).
7.09 Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all
U.S. Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns and
information statements that are required to be filed by them and have paid all
taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except for any such tax being contested

taxes and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Company,

Section 10. The Agents.

appoints and authorizes each Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the
other Credit Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to such
Agent by the terms of this Agreement and of the other Credit Documents,
together with such
Credit Agreement
60
- 56 -
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Neither Agent (which term
as used in this sentence and in Section 10.05 and the first sentence of Section
10.06 hereof shall include reference to its affiliates and its own and its
affiliates' officers, directors, employees and agents):
(a) shall have any duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit
Documents, or shall by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit
Document be a trustee for any Lender;
(b) shall be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement
or in any other Credit Document, or in any certificate or other
document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them
under, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or for the value,
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of
this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any other document
referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by
the Company or any other Person to perform any of its obligations
hereunder or thereunder;
(c) shall be required to initiate or conduct any litigation
or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Credit
Document; or
(d) shall be responsible for any action taken or omitted to
be taken by it hereunder or under any other Credit Document or under
any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or
therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Each Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible
for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it in good faith. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the
payee of a Revolving Credit Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof
unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been
filed with such Administrative Agent, together with the consent of the Company
to such assignment or transfer (to the extent required by Section 11.06(b)
hereof).
10.02 Reliance by the Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled
to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including,
without limitation, any thereof by
Credit Agreement
61
- 57 -
telephone, telecopy, telegram or cable) reasonably believed by it to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper
Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent
accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. As to any matters not
expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Credit Document, each
Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from
acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the
Majority Lenders, and such instructions of the Majority Lenders and any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the
Lenders.
10.03 Defaults. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default unless such Agent has
received notice from a Lender, the Company or Motorola specifying such Default
and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default". In the event that the
Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the
Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 10.07 hereof) take such action
with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Majority 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 as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders except
to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken,
or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of the
Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders.
10.04 Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitment and
the Loans made by it, each of Chase and Barclays (and any successor acting as
Administrative Agent or Documentation Agent, as the case may be) in its
capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder
as any other Lender (if it shall be a Lender hereunder) and may exercise the
same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent or Documentation
Agent, as the case may be, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the
context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent or the
Documentation Agent, as the case may be, in its individual capacity. Each of
Chase and Barclays (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent or
Documentation Agent, as the case may be) and its affiliates may (without having
to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make
investments in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other
Credit Agreement
62
- 58 -
business with the Company (and any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as if it
were not acting as the Administrative Agent or the Documentation Agent, as the
case may be, and each of Chase and Barclays (and any such successor) and its
affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Company (and any of
its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) for services in connection with this Agreement
or otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Agent or the
Lenders.
10.05 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each
Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 11.03 hereof, but without
limiting the obligations of the Company under said Section 11.03) ratably in
accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by the Lenders
(or, if no Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their
respective Commitments) for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against such Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by
reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document or any other documents contemplated by
or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that the Company
is obligated to pay under Section 11.03 hereof, but excluding, unless a Default
has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses
incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement
of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided
that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they
arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be
indemnified.
10.06 Non-Reliance on the Agents and Other Lenders. Each
Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Agents or
any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Company and Motorola and
decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender, and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement or under any other Credit Document. Neither Agent shall be required
to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by either Credit
Party of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any other
document referred to or provided for
Credit Agreement
63
- 59 -
herein or therein or to inspect the Properties or books of the Company or
Motorola. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information
expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agents hereunder or
under any of the other Credit Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Company or
Motorola (or any of their respective Subsidiaries or affiliates) that may come
into the possession of such Agent or any of its affiliates.
10.07 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required
of the Agents hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, each Agent shall
in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and
thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from
the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 10.05 hereof
against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action.
10.08 Resignation or Removal of the Agents. Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, any Agent
may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the other Agent, the Lenders
and the Company, and any Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause
by the Majority Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority
Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent with the prior
consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders'
removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, that shall be a bank that has an office in
New York, New York with a combined capital and surplus of at least
$500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by
a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation or removal
hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall continue in effect
for the benefit of such Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was acting as an Agent.

binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns.
11.06 Assignments and Participations.

Credit Note, and its Commitment (but only with the consent of the Company and
the Administrative Agent, which consent in each case shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed); provided that
Credit Agreement
67
- 63 -
(i) no such consent by the Company or the Administrative
Agent shall be required in the case of any assignment to another
Lender or to an affiliate of the assigning Lender;
(ii) except to the extent the Company and the Administrative
Agent shall otherwise consent, any such partial assignment (other than
to another Lender) shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000
and, after giving effect to such assignment, such assigning Lender
shall hold a Commitment in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000;
(iii) each such assignment by a Lender of its Loans,
Revolving Credit Note or Commitment shall be made in such manner so
that the same portion of its Loans, Revolving Credit Note and
Commitment is assigned to the respective assignee; and
(iv) in order to evidence each such assignment, the assignor
and assignee shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance.
Upon execution and delivery by the assignor and the assignee of such Assignment
and Acceptance (and the delivery thereof to the Administrative Agent (with a
copy to the Company) for recordation of the assignment provided therein), and
upon consent thereto by the Company and the Administrative Agent to the extent
required above, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment
(unless otherwise consented to by the Company and the Administrative Agent),
the obligations, rights and benefits of a Lender hereunder holding the
Commitment and Loans (or portions thereof) assigned to it and specified in such
Assignment and Acceptance (in addition to the Commitment and Loans, if any,
theretofore held by such assignee) and the assigning Lender shall, to the
extent of such assignment, be released from the Commitment (or portion thereof)
so assigned. Upon each such assignment the assigning Lender shall pay the
Administrative Agent an assignment fee of $3,000.
(c) A Lender may sell or agree to sell to one or more other
Persons (each a "Participant") a participation in all or any part of any Loans
held by it, or in its Commitment, provided that such Participant shall not have
any rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Revolving Credit Note or
any other Credit Document (the Participant's rights against such Lender in
respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreements executed
by such Lender in favor of the Participant). All amounts payable by the
Company to any Lender under Section 5
Credit Agreement
68
- 64 -
hereof in respect of Loans held by it, and its Commitment, shall be determined
as if such Lender had not sold or agreed to sell any participations in such
Loans and Commitment, and as if such Lender were funding each of such Loans and
Commitment in the same way that it is funding the portion of such Loan and
Commitment in which no participations have been sold. In no event shall a
Lender that sells a participation agree with the Participant to take or refrain
from taking any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document except that
such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase or extend the term of such
Lender's Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of
or interest on the related Loan or Loans or any portion of any fee hereunder
payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of
principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon, or any
fee hereunder payable to the Participant, to a level below the rate at which
the Participant is entitled to receive such interest or fee or (v) consent to
any modification, supplement or waiver hereof or of any of the other Credit
Documents to the extent that the same, under Section 10.09 or 11.04 hereof,
requires the consent of each Lender.
(d) In addition to the assignments and participations
permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.06, any Lender may
(without notice to the Company, any Agent or any other Lender and without
payment of any fee) assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its
Revolving Credit Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security
pursuant to Regulation A and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal
Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its
obligations hereunder.
(e) A Lender may furnish any information concerning the
Company or Motorola (or any of their respective Subsidiaries and affiliates) or
the Project in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and
Participants (including prospective assignees and Participants), subject,
however, to the provisions of Section 11.12(b) hereof.
(f) Anything in this Section 11.06 to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan
held by it hereunder to the Company or Motorola (or any of their respective
Subsidiaries or affiliates) without the prior consent of each Lender.
11.07 Survival. The obligations of the Company under
Sections 5.01, 5.05, 5.06 and 11.03 hereof, and the obligations
Credit Agreement
69
- 65 -
of the Lenders under Section 10.05 hereof, shall survive the repayment of the
Loans and the termination of the Commitments and, in the case of any Lender
that may assign any interest in its Commitment or Loans hereunder, shall
survive the making of such assignment with respect to matters occurring prior
to such assignment, notwithstanding that such assigning Lender may cease to be
a "Lender" hereunder. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or
deemed to be made by a notice of any Loan, herein or pursuant hereto shall
survive the making of such representation and warranty, and no Lender shall be
deemed to have waived, by reason of making any Loan, any Default that may arise
by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or
misleading, notwithstanding that such Lender or any Agent may have had notice
or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was
false or misleading at the time such Loan was made.
11.08 Captions. The table of contents and captions and
section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of
reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of
this Agreement.
11.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and
the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by
signing any such counterpart.
11.10 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This
Agreement and the Revolving Credit Notes shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the law of the State of New York. The Company hereby submits
to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York and of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
sitting in New York County (including its Appellate Division), and of any other
appellate court in the State of New York, for the purposes of all legal
proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby. The Company hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court
and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought
in an inconvenient forum.
11.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE AGENTS,
THE GLOBAL ARRANGERS AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
Credit Agreement
70
- 66 -
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT, THE REVOLVING CREDIT NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
11.12 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.
(a) The Company acknowledges that from time to time financial
advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to
the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this
Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or
affiliates of such Lender. The Company hereby agrees that, in the event any
such services are provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, each
Lender providing such services is authorized to share any information delivered
to such Lender by the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement,
or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement,
to any such subsidiary or affiliate providing such services, provided that any
such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information agrees to be bound by
the provisions of paragraph (b) below as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such
authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of
the Commitments.
(b) Each Lender, each Agent and each Global Arranger agrees
(on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees
and representatives) to restrict dissemination of any Confidential Information
(as defined below) only to those of its directors, officers, employees and
representatives who are involved in the evaluation of such information, and to
use reasonable precautions to keep such information confidential, in accordance
with its customary procedures for handling confidential information of the same
nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices. For purposes of
this Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall mean any non-public
information supplied to it by the Company, including its contractors,
consultants or sponsors, pursuant to this Agreement or by Motorola pursuant to
the Motorola Guarantee Agreement, that is identified (in writing, in the case
of written information) by the Company or Motorola, as the case may be, as
being confidential at the time the same is delivered to the Lenders, the Agents
or the Global Arrangers, provided that nothing herein shall limit the
disclosure of any such information by any Lender, Agent or Global Arranger (i)
after such information shall have become public (other than through a violation
of this Section 11.12 by such Lender, Agent or Global
Credit Agreement
71
- 67 -
Arranger), (ii) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or judicial
process, (iii) to counsel or other experts for any of the Lenders, Agents or
Global Arrangers, provided that such counsel or experts shall be bound by the
requirements of this Section 11.12(b) with respect to any such information,
(iv) to bank examiners (or any other regulatory authority having jurisdiction
over any Lender, Agent or Global Arranger), or to auditors or accountants, (v)
to any Global Arranger, any Agent or any other Lender (or to any of their
respective affiliates, provided that any such disclosure to any such affiliate
shall be made on a "need to know" basis only for use by such affiliates (and
each of its officers, directors and employees) solely in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each such affiliate (and each
of its officers, directors and employees) shall agree (for the benefit of the
Company and Motorola) to be bound to keep such information confidential on the
same terms as set forth in this Section 11.12), (vi) in connection with any
litigation to which any one or more of the Lenders, the Global Arrangers or the
Agents is a party, or in connection with the enforcement of rights or remedies
hereunder or under any other Credit Document, provided that the party intending
to make such disclosure shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the
Company or with Motorola, as the case may be, to reasonably minimize the extent
of any such disclosure or to obtain confidential treatment of information to be
disclosed, (vii) to a subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender as provided in
paragraph (a) above or (viii) to any assignee or participant (or prospective
assignee or participant) so long as such assignee or participant (or
prospective assignee or participant) first executes and delivers to the
respective Lender, the Company and Motorola a Confidentiality Agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto; provided, further, that in no
event shall any Lender, Agent or Global Arranger be obligated or required to
return any materials furnished by the Company or Motorola hereunder or under
the Motorola Guarantee Agreement, respectively, except to the extent it has
agreed to do so in writing in conjunction with the receipt of such information.
The obligations of any assignee that has executed a Confidentiality Agreement
in the form of Exhibit G hereto shall be superseded by this Section 11.12 on
the date upon which such assignee becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to
Section 11.06(b) hereof.
