(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make term loans (each a "Loan" and, collectively, the "Loans") through its Applicable Lending Office to the Borrower from time to time from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Commitment Expiration Date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment at any time; provided, further, that each borrowing of Loans hereunder shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (i) $50,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the Aggregate Available Commitment.
(b) The principal amount of each Lender's Loan shall be in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Lender's Commitment Percentage (expressed as a fraction) and (ii) the total amount of the Loans requested; provided that in no event shall any Lender be obligated to make a Loan if after giving effect to such Loan such Lender's Loans outstanding would exceed its Commitment or if the amount of such requested Loan is in excess of such Lender's Available Commitment.
(c) Subject to Sections 2.8, 2.9 and 2.10, the Loans may from time to time be (i) LIBOR Loans, (ii) Alternate Base Rate Loans or (iii) a combination thereof, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with either Section 2.1(d) or 2.4. Each Lender may make or maintain its Loans to or for the account of the Borrower by or through any Applicable Lending Office.
(d) The Loans made by each Lender to the Borrower shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit A (a "Note"), with appropriate insertions therein as to payee, date and principal amount, payable to the order of such Lender and representing the obligation of the Borrower to pay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans made by such Lender to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1(a), with interest thereon as prescribed in Sections 2.6 and 2.7. Each Lender is hereby authorized (but not required) to record the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of its Loans made to the Borrower, each continuation thereof, each conversion of all or a portion thereof to another Type and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the length of each Interest Period with respect thereto, in the
–17–
books and records of such Lender, and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded. The failure of any Lender to make any such recordation or notation in the books and records of the Lender (or any error in such recordation or notation) shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Each Note shall (i) be dated the Closing Date, (ii) provide for the payment of interest in accordance with Sections 2.6 and 2.7 and (iii) be stated to be payable on the Maturity Date.
(e) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day prior to each proposed borrowing date or, if all or any part of the Loans are requested to be made as LIBOR Loans, three Eurodollar Business Days prior to each proposed borrowing date) requesting that the Lenders make the Loans on the proposed borrowing date and specifying (i) subject to Section 2.1(a), the aggregate amount of Loans requested to be made, (ii) subject to Section 2.1(c), whether the Loans are to be LIBOR Loans, Alternate Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof and (iii) if the Loans are to be entirely or partly LIBOR Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor. If all or any part of the requested Loans are to be used by the Borrower for a Borrower Stock Purchase, such notice shall further (i) specify (A) the amount of requested Loans to be used for such Borrower Stock Purchase, (B) the aggregate amount of Loans used for Borrower Stock Purchases since the Closing Date, (C) the aggregate consideration paid for Borrower Stock Purchases since the Closing Date, (D) the aggregate number of shares of the Borrower purchased by the Borrower since the Closing Date and (E) the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Borrower of any class, and (ii) include a representation and warranty that the use of the requested Loans for such Borrower Stock Purchase shall not cause the aggregate consideration paid for Borrower Stock Purchases to exceed $50,000,000 or cause the aggregate percentage of such purchased stock to exceed 10% of issued common stock of the Borrower outstanding on the Closing Date. On receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time on the date of receipt of such notice. On the proposed borrowing date, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at its office specified in Section 9.2 the amount of such Lender's pro rata share of the aggregate borrowing amount (as determined in accordance with the second paragraph of Section 2.1(a)) in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent may, in the absence of notification from any Lender that such Lender has not made its pro rata share available to the Administrative Agent, on such date, credit the account of the Borrower on the books of such office of the Administrative Agent with the aggregate amount of Loans.
(f) At the Borrower's option and upon at least five Business Days' prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent, with such notice specifying the amount and the date of such reduction, the Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment in whole at any time or in part from time to time; provided, however, that each partial reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be in an aggregate amount equal to at least $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender (by telecopy or by telephone) of such requested Aggregate Commitment reduction.
(g) Reductions of the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall automatically effect a reduction of the Commitment of each Lender to an amount equal to the product of (i) the Aggregate Commitment of all Lenders, as reduced pursuant to this Section 2.1 and (ii) the Commitment Percentage of such Lender, in each case determined immediately prior to such reduction of the Aggregate Commitment on such date.
(h) Upon each reduction of the Aggregate Commitment, the Borrower shall (i) prepay the amount, if any, by which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans exceeds the amount
–18–
of the Aggregate Commitment as so reduced, together with accrued interest on the amount being prepaid to the date of such prepayment and (ii) compensate the Lenders for their funding costs, if any, in accordance with Section 2.13.
(i) Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arranger nor any Lender shall be responsible for the obligation or Available Commitment of any other Lender hereunder, nor will the failure of any Lender to comply with the terms of this Agreement relieve any other Lender or the Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement and the Notes. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
(j) The Commitment of each Lender and the Aggregate Commitment shall terminate on the Commitment Expiration Date.
2.2 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may on the last day of any Interest Period with respect thereto, in the case of LIBOR Loans, or at any time and from time to time, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least five Days' irrevocable written notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of LIBOR Loans, Alternate Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid and amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13. Amounts prepaid on account of the Loans may not be reborrowed. Partial prepayments of Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000.
2.3 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Within one Business Day following receipt by the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary of such Net Proceeds, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans ratably in accordance with the aggregate outstanding principal balances thereof with the Net Proceeds of (i) any Securities Offering by the Borrower or any Subsidiary issued on or after the Closing Date; and (ii) any borrowings on or after the Closing Date by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower under any debt instrument, excluding borrowings under the Existing Credit Agreement up to $318,150,000 in the aggregate, but including borrowings under the Existing Credit Agreement in excess of $318,150,000 in the aggregate, and further excluding borrowings under any AT Note permitted under Section 6.2(l), in each case to the extent not required to be applied to the repayment of obligations outstanding under Sections 2.6(d) and 2.6(e) of the Existing Credit Agreement, as in effect as of the Loan Commitment Date.
(b) Within one Business Day following receipt by the Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary of such Net Proceeds, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans ratably in accordance with the aggregate outstanding principal balances thereof with the Net Proceeds from any Asset Disposition by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower to the extent not required to be applied to the repayment of obligations outstanding under Section 6.5 of the Existing Credit Agreement, as in effect as of the Loan Commitment Date.
(c) Within one Business Day following receipt by the Borrower of any applicable Subsidiary of such Net Proceeds, the Borrower shall repay the Loans ratably in accordance with the aggregate outstanding principal balances thereof with the Excess Cash Flow existing at the end of any fiscal year of the Borrower in an amount equal to (x) if the Total Debt Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year is greater than or equal to 4:00:1, 662/3% of such Excess Cash Flow, or (y) if the Total Debt Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year is less than 4:00:1, 50% of such Excess Cash Flow, commencing with the year ended December 31, 2001, to the extent not required to be applied to
–19–
the repayment of Obligations outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement, as in effect as of the Loan Commitment Date.
(d) Notwithstanding clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 2.3, from and after the first to occur of (x) the execution and delivery of such Security Documents as may be necessary to provide for the collateralization of the Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents on a pari passu basis with the obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement, and (y) the termination or expiration of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans ratably in accordance with the aggregate outstanding principal balances thereof with (i) the Net Proceeds from any Securities Offering by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower issued on or after such date, (ii) the Net Proceeds of any borrowings on or after such date by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower under any debt instrument, other than borrowings under the Existing Credit Agreement and borrowings under any AT Note permitted under Section 6.2(l), (iii) the Net Proceeds of any Asset Disposition by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower on or after the Closing Date; and (iv) Excess Cash Flow existing at the end of any fiscal year of the Borrower in an amount equal to (x) if the Total Debt Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year is greater than or equal to 4:00:1, 662/3% of such Excess Cash Flow, or (y) if the Total Debt Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year is less than 4:00:1, 50% of such Excess Cash Flow. All such mandatory prepayments shall be made within one Business Day following the end of such fiscal year or receipt by the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary of such Net Proceeds, as applicable.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3, on the day of receipt by the Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary of such Net Proceeds, the Borrower shall repay all Obligations outstanding under this Agreement in full with the Net Proceeds from the initial borrowings under the New Credit Agreement and shall terminate the Commitments hereunder and this Agreement.
(f) Amounts prepaid on account of the Loans may not be reborrowed and the Aggregate Commitments shall be permanently reduced by the amounts of such prepayments. Each prepayment shall be accompanied by payment in full of all accrued and unpaid interest thereto and including the date of such prepayment, together with any additional amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13.
2.4 Conversion and Continuation Options.
(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert LIBOR Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans, by the Borrower giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable written notice of such election pursuant to a Continuation Notice, provided that any such conversion of LIBOR Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans by the Borrower giving the Administrative Agent at least three Eurodollar Business Days' prior irrevocable written notice of such election pursuant to a Continuation Notice. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding LIBOR Loans and Alternate Base Rate Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) any such conversion may only be made if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.5 shall not have been contravened, (ii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date and (iii) the Borrower shall not have the right to elect to continue at the end of the applicable Interest Period, or to convert to, a LIBOR Loan if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
–20–
(b) Any LIBOR Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving notice to the Administrative Agent thereof, provided that no LIBOR Loan may be continued as such (i) if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.5 would be contravened, (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date or (iii) if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing and, provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this Section or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Loans shall be automatically converted to Alternate Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then-expiring Interest Period.
2.5 Minimum Amounts of Tranches. All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Loans comprising each Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and, in any case, there shall not be more than 10 Tranches.
2.6 Interest Rates and Payment Dates of Principal and Interest. (a) Each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin; provided, however, that, subject to clause (c) of this Section 2.6, the interest rate on such Loans shall in no event exceed (a) if the Borrower's long-term senior unsecured indebtedness is rated BB- or above by Standard & Poor's Rating Services and Ba3 or above by Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc., as of the date of issuance, the LIBOR Rate plus 800 basis points per annum, and (b) the LIBOR Rate plus 1000 basis points per annum in all other cases; provided, that GSCP shall use commercially reasonable efforts to determine the applicable interest rate after giving effect to the Applicable Margin such that the LIBOR Loans shall be syndicated at a price equal to approximately 100% of the principal amount of the LIBOR Loans; provided further, that the total principal amount and other terms and conditions of the LIBOR Loans remain unchanged.
(b) Each Alternate Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; provided, however, that, subject to clause (c) of this Section 2.6, the interest rate on such Loans shall in no event exceed (a) if the Borrower's long-term senior unsecured indebtedness is rated BB- or above by Standard & Poor's Rating Services and Ba3 or above by Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc., as of the date of issuance, Alternate Base Rate plus 700 basis points per annum, and (b) Alternate Base Rate plus 900 basis points per annum in all other cases; provided, that GSCP shall use commercially reasonable efforts to determine the applicable interest rate after giving effect to the Applicable Margin such that the Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be syndicated at a price equal to approximately 100% of the principal amount of the Alternate Base Rate Loans; provided further, that the total principal amount and other terms and conditions of the Alternate Base Rate Loans remain unchanged.
(c) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all amounts outstanding shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is the rate described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.6, as applicable, plus 2% from the date of the occurrence of such Default until such Default is no longer continuing (after as well as before judgment).
(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand.
(e) The principal amount of the Loans shall be payable quarterly in arrears, commencing on the last day of each March, June, September and December to occur following the Commitment Expiration Date in an amount equal, in the case of each such payment to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans made on or prior to the Commitment Expiration Date (without giving effect to any optional or mandatory prepayment thereof on or before such date). The remaining principal amount of the Loans shall be payable on the day on which the Loans become due and payable in full or are paid or prepaid in full.
–21–
2.7 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest on Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed and interest on LIBOR Loans, unused commitment fees and all other Obligations of the Borrower shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a LIBOR Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate or the LIBOR Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Alternate Base Rate is announced or such change in the LIBOR Reserve Requirements becomes effective, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.
2.8 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. In the event that prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, or
(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Lenders that the LIBOR Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any LIBOR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Alternate Base Rate Loans, (y) Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest period to LIBOR Loans shall be continued as Alternate Base Rate Loans, and (z) any outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to Alternate Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further LIBOR Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans.
2.9 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder and any reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal and interest amounts of such Loans then held by the Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder and under the Notes, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Administrative Agent's office specified in Section 9.2, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the applicable Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the LIBOR Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a LIBOR 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 (and
–22–
interest shall continue to accrue thereon at the applicable rate) 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.
2.10 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any change after the date of execution hereof in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender or Applicable Lending Office to make or maintain LIBOR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make LIBOR Loans, continue LIBOR Loans as such and convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall forthwith be suspended during such period of illegality and (b) the Loans of such Lender or Applicable Lending Office then outstanding as LIBOR Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Alternate Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.13. To the extent that a Lender's LIBOR Loans have been converted to Alternate Base Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10, all payments and prepayments of principal that otherwise would be applied to such Lender's LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Alternate Base Rate Loans.
2.11 Increased Costs. (a) In the event that any change after the date of execution hereof 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 but, if not having the force of law, generally applicable to and complied with by banks and financial institutions of the same general type as such Lender in the relevant jurisdiction) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:
(i) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements against assets held by, letters of credit or guarantees issued by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender or Applicable Lending Office which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or
(ii) shall impose on such Lender or Applicable Lending Office any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or Applicable Lending Office, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof then, in any such case, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account or on behalf of such Lender or Applicable Lending Office, as applicable, upon the demand of the Administrative Agent for itself or at the request of such Lender, as applicable, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Applicable Lending Office becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Applicable Lending Office, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded, absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(b) If, after the date of this Agreement, the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any
–23–
Lender or any corporation controlling any Lender, and such Lender (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) determines that the amount of capital maintained by such Lender or such corporation which is attributable to or based upon the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement must be increased as a consequence of such introduction or change by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, upon demand of the Administrative Agent at the request of such Lender, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation for the increased costs to such Lender or corporation of such increased capital. Any such demand shall be accompanied by a certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of any such increased costs, which certificate shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. This obligation of the Borrower under this Section 2.11(b) shall survive repayment of the Loans and payment of all other amounts hereunder in full and the termination of this Agreement.
2.12 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower in respect of the Obligations 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 or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, other than Excluded Taxes (all such non-Excluded Taxes being hereinafter called "Taxes"). If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any Lender in respect of the Obligations, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent, such Arranger or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent, such Arranger or such Lender (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the Notes. The Administrative Agent, an Arranger or a Lender, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Borrower a certificate setting forth the amount of such Taxes, the calculation of such Taxes and an explanation of the requirement therefor, all in reasonable detail and such certificate shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent, for its own account or for the account of such Arranger or such Lender, as the case may be, a copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof or such other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties (and related reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may become payable by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(b) Each Lender that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form X-0, X-0XXX xx X-0XXX (as applicable to it) or successor applicable form, as the case may be. Each such Lender also agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of the said Form X-0, X-0XXX or W-8ECI, or successor applicable forms or other manner or certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, unless in any such case an event beyond the control of such Lender (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be
–24–
required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advised the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each such Lender shall certify with respect to Form X-0, X-0XXX or W-8ECI, as applicable, that (i) it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (ii) it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.
(c) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Person in respect of United States withholding tax pursuant to Section 2.12(a) if the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Person to comply with the requirements of Section 2.12(b) (including the accuracy of the certificate described in the final sentence thereof).
2.13 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from and to pay each Lender within 5 days of such Lender's demand the amount of any liability, loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Loan, (b) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (d) the making by the Borrower of a prepayment or conversion of LIBOR Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. A Lender's certificate as to such liability, loss or expense shall be deemed conclusive, absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.14 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the fees specified in the Fee Letter in accordance with the terms of the Fee Letter.
2.15 Mitigation of Costs. If any Lender, by changing its Applicable Lending Office or taking any other reasonable action, so long as making such change or taking such other action is not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to it in any financial, regulatory or other respect, can mitigate any adverse effect on the Borrower under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12, such Lender shall take such action.
SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and each Lender that:
3.1 Financial Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower as at December 31, 2000, and the related audited consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and statements of cash flows for the fiscal year ended on such date, certified by the Accountants and to the best of his knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower as at such date in all material respects, the consolidated results of its operations and consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year then ended in all material respects. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower as at March 31, 2001 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of operation and cash flows for the three-month period ended on such date, certified to the best of his knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower as at such date in all material respects, and the consolidated results of its operations and its
–25–
consolidated cash flows for the three-month period then ended. All such financial statements (the "Financial Statements"), including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except for the absence of notes). The Borrower, on a consolidated basis, had, at the date of the most recent balance sheet referred to above, no material Guarantee Obligation, contingent liability or liability for taxes, or any long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction, which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto and which is material in relation to the respective consolidated financial condition of such entities at such date.

8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent and Arranger. The Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by any of them 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 Borrower), the Accountants and independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent or the Arranger. The Administrative Agent and the Arranger 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.

None of the Administrative Agent or the Arranger shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such 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 Arranger and the Lenders.

Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or the Arranger 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 and creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or the Arranger 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 and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and any other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or the Arranger hereunder, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall not 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 the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or the Arranger or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
8.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Arranger in their respective capacities as such (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs (including, without limitation, the allocated reasonable cost of internal counsel), expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Notes) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Arranger, in their respective capacities as Administrative Agent and Arranger, but not as Lenders hereunder, in any way relating to or arising out of 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 the Administrative Agent or the Arranger 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 resulting solely from the Administrative Agent's or the Arranger's gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
8.8 Administrative Agent and Arranger in Their Individual Capacities. The Administrative Agent, the Arranger and their respective Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and any Subsidiary as though the Administrative Agent and such Arranger were not the Administrative Agent and an Arranger, respectively, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Administrative Agent or the Arranger the Loans made by the Administrative Agent or such Arranger, as applicable, and any Note issued to any of the Administrative Agent or the Arranger, as the case may be, 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 the Administrative Agent or an Arranger, as the case may be, and the
–53–
terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the Administrative Agent and the Arranger in their individual capacities.
8.9 Successor Administrative Agent or Arranger. The Administrative Agent or the Arranger may resign as Administrative Agent or Arranger, respectively, upon 30 days' notice prior to the Commitment Expiration Date and upon five Business Days' notice from and after the Commitment Expiration Date to the Lenders and the Majority Lenders may at any time remove the Administrative Agent or the Arranger. If the Administrative Agent or the Arranger shall be removed or shall resign as Administrative Agent or Arranger under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then (i) prior to the Commitment Expiration Date, the Majority Lenders and (ii) on and after the Commitment Expiration Date, the Administrative Agent or the Arranger, as applicable, shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent or arranger, as the case may be, for the Lenders, which successor administrative agent or arranger, as the case may be, shall be approved by the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) shall have occurred and is continuing), whereupon such successor administrative agent or arranger, as the case may be, shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and an Arranger and the term "Administrative Agent" or "Arranger" shall mean such successor administrative agent or Arranger, as the case may be, effective upon its appointment, and the former Administrative Agent's or Arranger's rights, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent or Arranger, as the case may be, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or Arranger or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, after any retiring Administrative Agent's or Arranger's removal or resignation as Administrative Agent or Arranger, the provisions of this Section shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Arranger, as the case may be, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Further, if the Administrative Agent or the Arranger no longer has any Loans or Commitments hereunder, the Administrative Agent or such Arranger shall immediately resign and shall be replaced, and have the benefits, as set forth in this Section 8.9.
8.10 Arranger. Without limiting any provision contained in this Section 8, (i) no Lender identified in this Agreement as an "Arranger" shall have, except as and to the limited extent expressly provided herein, any obligation, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such and (ii) advisor, book manager syndication agent hereunder shall have no obligation, responsibility or duty whatsoever under this Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.
9.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section. With the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders and the Borrower, the Borrower may, from time to time, enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the Notes and the other Loan Documents for the purposes of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the Notes or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders, the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or thereunder or waiving, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the Notes or the other Loan Documents or any Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) (a) reduce the amount or extend the maturity of any Note or any installment due thereon, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the amount or extend the time of payment of any fee, indemnity or reimbursement payable to any Lender hereunder, or change the amount or maturity of any Lender's Commitment, in each case without the written consent of the Lender affected thereby; or

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and all future holders of the Notes. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Arranger and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Notes and any other Loan Documents, and any Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. The Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders agree to provide reasonable details and supporting information concerning any costs and expenses required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof.
9.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Lenders.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Arranger, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.
(b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking or finance business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities ("Participants") participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such
–57–
Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that the holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of such Lender, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except action directly affecting the extension of the maturity of any portion of the principal amount of a Loan or Commitment or any portion of interest or fees related thereto or a reduction of the principal amount or principal payment amount of or the rate of interest payable on the Loans or any fees related thereto or any increase in participation amounts. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests 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 Note for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower, the Arranger and the Administrative Agent 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. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Note to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any Note, provided that such Participant shall only be entitled to such right of setoff if it shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its participating interest to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 9.7. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 and 9.5 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time; provided, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Sections 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.
(c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to any of its Affiliates or to any Lender, any Affiliate thereof or to one or more additional lenders or financial institutions, which additional lenders shall be subject to the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and not to be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing ("Purchasing Lenders") all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit B, executed by such Purchasing Lender and such transferor Lender and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined in (d) below), provided, that any such sale must result in the Purchasing Lender having at least $5,000,000 in aggregate amount of obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Purchasing Lender 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 as set forth therein, and (y) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of such assigned portion and as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Such Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such
–58–
transferor Lender under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents. On or prior to the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note a new Note to the order of such Purchasing Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, and if the transferor Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder a new Note to the order of the transferor Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note replaced thereby. The Note surrendered by the transferor Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked "canceled."
(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments 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, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by a transferor Lender and Purchasing Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing Lender that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) 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 Borrower.
(f) The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing Lender (each, a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender's possession concerning the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with such Lender's credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement; provided that such Transferee or prospective Transferee agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.18 unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order.
(g) If, pursuant to this Section, any interest in this Agreement or any Note is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to represent to the transferor Lender and the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Borrower) that under applicable law and treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the Borrower, if applicable, or the transferor Lender with respect to any payments to be made to such Transferee in respect of the Loans, (ii) to furnish to the transferor Lender and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Purchasing Lender registered in the Register, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form X-0, X-0XXX xx X-0XXX (as applicable to it) (wherein such Transferee claims entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder) and (iii) to agree (for the benefit of the transferor Lender and the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Borrower) to provide the transferor Lender and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Purchasing Lender registered in the Register, the Administrative
–59–
Agent and the Borrower) a new Form X-0, X-0XXX or W-8ECI (as applicable to it) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such Transferee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption.
(h) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning any of its rights under its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.
(a) If any Lender (a "benefitted Lender") shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or fees, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7(f), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Loans, or interest thereon, or fees, such benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender's Loans or fees, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender's Loan may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 7, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set-off and appropriate and apply against any such Obligations 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 Lender or any branch or agency thereof or bank controlling such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
9.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the Courts of the States of California and New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Central District of California and the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding in any such court was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and

–61–
9.17 Copies of Certificates, Etc. Whenever the Borrower is required to deliver notices, certificates, opinions, statements or other information hereunder to the Administrative Agent or to the Arranger for delivery to any Lender, it shall do so in such number of copies as the Administrative Agent or the Arranger shall reasonably specify (provided, that if, for any reason, the Administrative Agent or the Arranger do not deliver such notices, certificates, opinions, statements or other information to any Lender, the Borrower shall deliver such items to such Lender upon the request of such Lender). Whenever the Administrative Agent or the Arranger receives from the Borrower notices, certificates, opinions, statements or other information hereunder or under any other Loan Document for delivery to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Arranger shall promptly deliver such items to each Lender, unless the Borrower is required by the terms hereof to deliver such items to such Lender itself.
9.18 Confidentiality. The Lenders shall take normal and reasonable precautions to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement which has been identified as such by the Borrower but may, in any event, make disclosures (i) reasonably required by any bona fide transferee, assignee or participant in connection with the contemplated transfer or assignment of any of the Commitments or Loans or participations therein or (ii) as required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or as required pursuant to legal process or (iii) to its attorneys and accountants or (iv) as required by law or (v) in connection with litigation involving any Lender; provided that (a) such transferee, assignee or participant agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section 9.18 unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, (b) each Lender shall use its best efforts to notify the Borrower of any requirement or request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) and any requirement pursuant to legal process of or for disclosure of such information (other than in connection with litigation between the Borrower and any Lender) and (c) in no event shall any Lender, bona fide transferee, assignee or participant be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
9.19 Publicity. The Arranger shall have the right to review and approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), in advance, any public announcements (in any form) and any filings describing or quoting from the credit arrangements reflected in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided, however, that the Borrower (i) shall be permitted to file copies of any Loan Document with the SEC, the FCC or any other governmental agency as required by law and (ii) shall also be permitted to disclose information concerning the Loan Documents if the Borrower's attorneys reasonably believe that such disclosure is required by law.
9.20 Limitation of Interest. It is the intent of the Borrower and the Lenders in the execution and performance of this Agreement and all matters incidental and related hereto and the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument executed in connection herewith or therewith or with any Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders to remain in strict compliance with all laws applicable to the Lenders from time to time in effect, including, without limitation, usury laws. In furtherance hereof, the Borrower and the Lenders stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in or pertaining to this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument ("Other Agreement") executed in connection herewith or with any Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money with interest at a rate or in an amount in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by the Lenders under all laws in effect and applicable to the Lenders (the "Maximum Rate"). For purposes of this Agreement and the Notes, "interest" shall include the aggregate of all amounts which constitute or are deemed to constitute interest under the respective laws in effect and applicable to the Lenders that are contracted for, chargeable, receivable (whether received or deemed to have been received) or taken under this Agreement or the Notes or any Other Agreement. The
–62–
Borrower shall not be required to pay interest hereunder or on any Note or any Other Agreement at a rate or in an amount in excess of the Maximum Rate with respect to the Lenders or the maximum amount of interest that may be lawfully charged by the Lenders under any law which is in effect and applicable to the Lenders, and the provisions of this Section 9.20 shall control over all other provisions of this Agreement and the Notes or any Other Agreement which may be in apparent conflict herewith. If the effective rate or amount of interest which would otherwise be payable under this Agreement or any Note or any Other Agreement, or all of them, would exceed the Maximum Rate for the Lenders or the maximum amount of interest the Lenders or any holder of any Note or any Other Agreement is allowed by the relevant applicable law to charge, contract for, take or receive or in the event the Lenders or any holder of any Note or any Other Agreement shall charge, contract for, take or receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which could, in the absence of this provision, increase the effective rate or amount of interest payable under this Agreement or any Note or any Other Agreement, or all of them, to a rate or amount in excess of that permitted to be charged, contracted for, taken or received under the applicable laws then in effect with respect to the Lenders, then the principal amount of the Notes or the obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement, the Notes or any Other Agreement or the amount of interest which would otherwise be payable to or for the account of the Lenders under this Agreement or the Notes or any Other Agreement or all of them, shall be reduced to the amount allowed under said laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction, and all such monies so charged, contracted for, or received that are deemed to constitute interest in excess of the Maximum Rate for the Lenders or maximum amount of interest permitted by the relevant applicable laws shall be immediately returned to or credited to the account of the Borrower upon such determination. In determining whether the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceed the Maximum Rate, the Borrower and the Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee (excluding attorneys' and accountants' fees) or premium rather than interest and (ii) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts during the full term of the relevant Note, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received in connection with the relevant Note.
9.21 Margin Stock. In connection with each Loan extended hereunder, each Lender represents that it, in good faith, has not relied upon Margin Stock as collateral in extending or maintaining such Loan.
