Β Β Β Β Β βAdministrative Questionnaireβ means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form
supplied by the Administrative Agent.
Β Β Β Β Β βAffiliateβ means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that, directly or

the rating agency that has in effect a rating for the Index Debt; (ii)Β if the ratings established
or deemed to have been established by Xxxxxβx and S&P for the Index Debt shall fall within
different Performance Levels, the Applicable Rate shall be based on the higher of the two ratings;

Index Debt shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Xxxxxβx or
S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the
applicable rating agency, irrespective of when or whether notice of such change shall have been

shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the
date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of
Xxxxxβx or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of
rating corporate debt obligations, WIL and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this
definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating
agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be

Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 2.01. Loans.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make Loans to
the Borrowers in Dollars, from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate
principal amount that shall not result in (i)Β such Lenderβs Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding
such Lenderβs Commitment or (ii)Β the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders
exceeding the total Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders
ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any
Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder;
provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any
other Lenderβs failure to make Loans as required.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β Subject to SectionΒ 2.10, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans
or Eurodollar Loans as a Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option
may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender
to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the joint and several
obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing
shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less
than the Borrowing Minimum. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such ABR Borrowing shall
be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000;
provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused
balance of the total Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC
Disbursement as contemplated by SectionΒ 3.01(e). Borrowings of more than one Type may be
outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of
[seven] Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (e)Β Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to
request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with
respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.
20
Β
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 2.02. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders) of such request by telephone (a)Β in the case of
a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00Β a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before
the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b)Β in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00
a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of
an ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by
SectionΒ 3.01(e) may be given not later than 10:00Β a.m., New York City time, on the date of
the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be
confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing
Request signed by the Borrower requesting the Borrowing. Each such telephonic and written
Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with SectionΒ 2.01:
Β Β Β Β Β (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;
Β Β Β Β Β (ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
Β Β Β Β Β (iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
Β Β Β Β Β (iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be
applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term
βInterest Periodβ; and
Β Β Β Β Β (v) the location and number of the account of the requesting Borrower to which funds
are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of SectionΒ 2.03.
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an
ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar
Borrowing, then the requesting Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
monthβs duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this
Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount
of such Lenderβs Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 2.03. Funding of Borrowings.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof
by wire transfer of immediately available funds (i)Β by 12:00 noon, New York City time, in the case
of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Loans, and (ii)Β by 1:00 p.m.,
New York City time, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of ABR Loans, to the account of the
Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall make such Loans available to the requesting Borrower by promptly
crediting the amounts so received in like funds to an account of such Borrower maintained with the
Administrative Agent in Houston, Texas, and designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing
Request; provided that an ABR Borrowing made to finance the
21
Β
reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as
provided in SectionΒ 3.01(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing
Bank.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of ABR Loans,
prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender shall not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lenderβs share of such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
make available to the requesting Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has
not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then
the Borrowers, jointly and severally, and the applicable Lender severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each
day from and including the date such amount is made available to the requesting Borrower to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i)Β in the case of such Lender, the
greater of (A)Β the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B)Β a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii)Β in the case of
the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Borrowings. If such Lender pays such amount to
the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lenderβs Loan included in such
Borrowing.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 2.04. Interest Elections.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing
Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as
specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, a Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to
a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may
elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. A Borrower may elect different
options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such
portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing,
and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β To make an election pursuant to this Section, a Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under
SectionΒ 2.02 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such
election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election
Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by
hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request
in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by such Borrower.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with SectionΒ 2.02:
Β Β Β Β Β (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof
to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be
22
Β
specified
pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each
resulting Borrowing);
Β Β Β Β Β (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day;
Β Β Β Β Β (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar
Borrowing; and
Β Β Β Β Β (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term βInterest Periodβ.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an
Interest Period, then the Borrower making such Interest Election Request shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one monthβs duration.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall
advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lenderβs portion of each resulting Borrowing.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (e)Β If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a
Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such
Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be
converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required
Lenders, so notifies WIL, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (1)Β no outstanding
Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (2)Β unless repaid, each
Eurodollar Borrowing shall at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto be converted to an
ABR Borrowing.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 2.05. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β XXX xxx at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that
(i)Β each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii)Β WIL shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments
if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with
SectionΒ 2.07, the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β WIL shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the
Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the
effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date
thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by WIL pursuant to this Section shall be
23
Β
irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by XXX xxx state
that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case
such notice may be revoked by WIL (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the
specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the
Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the
Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments, and each such reduction of each such
Lenderβs Commitment shall be applied to the reduction of such Lenderβs commitment to make Loans and
acquire LC Exposure in the same proportion as each such commitment bears to such Lenderβs total
Commitment immediately prior to such reduction.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 2.06. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β The Borrowers hereby jointly and severally and unconditionally promise to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan
on the Maturity Date.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such
Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time
to time hereunder.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i)Β the amount
of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii)Β the
amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower
to each Lender hereunder and (iii)Β the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lenderβs share thereof.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c)Β of
this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded
therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such
accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers,
jointly and severally, to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (e)Β Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (all of
such notes being hereinafter collectively referred to as the βNotesβ). In such event, the
Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable, jointly and
severally, to the order of such Lender and substantially in the form of ExhibitΒ D.
Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times
(including after assignment pursuant to SectionΒ 12.05) be represented by one or more Notes
in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 2.07. Prepayment of Loans.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any
Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of
this Section.
24
Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β A Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (promptly confirmed by
telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i)Β in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not
later than 11:00Β a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or
(ii)Β in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00Β a.m., New York City time,
one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be
prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice
of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by SectionΒ 2.05, then such notice of
prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with
SectionΒ 2.05. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of
any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a
Borrowing of the same Type as provided in SectionΒ 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing
shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be
accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by SectionΒ 2.09. All prepayments
under this SectionΒ 2.07(b) shall be subject to SectionΒ 2.12.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β On the date that a Change of Control of the type described in clause (a)(iii) of
the definition of such term occurs and on the date that is 15Β days after the occurrence of any
other type of Change of Control, the Commitments shall terminate and the Borrowers (i)Β jointly and
severally, shall prepay the principal amount of the Loans and all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon in immediately available funds and (ii)Β deposit in an account with the Administrative
Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash
equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Such
deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the payment of LC Exposure. The
Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of
withdrawal, over such account. Such deposits shall be invested so as to earn interest at such rate
on overnight deposits as the Administrative Agent may reasonably obtain, but such investments shall
be made at the Borrowersβ risk and expense. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall
accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not
been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the joint
and several reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time. Moneys in
such account (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the applicable Borrower
within three Business Days after all LC Exposure shall have been reduced to zero.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β In the event that the sum of the all Lendersβ Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the
Commitments then in effect, Borrowers jointly and severally shall, without notice or demand,
immediately first, repay or prepay Borrowings, and second, replace outstanding Letters of Credit or
cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in
SectionΒ 3.01(j), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. In the event
that the aggregate LC Exposure exceeds the LC Commitment then in effect, Borrowers jointly and
severally shall, without notice or demand, immediately replace outstanding Letters of Credit or
cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in
SectionΒ 3.01(j), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable in Dollars within 10Β days
after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of
365 or 366Β days, as applicable, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed

condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of
Credit or participation therein;

maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to
increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining
any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or

Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered.

holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of
Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below

could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lenderβs or the
Issuing Bankβs policies and the policies of such Lenderβs or the Issuing Bankβs holding company
with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers, jointly and severally,
shall pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts
as shall compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lenderβs or the Issuing Bankβs holding
company for any such reduction suffered.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be,
as specified in paragraphΒ (a) or (b) of this Section, along with (i)Β a calculation
of such amount or amounts, (ii)Β a description of the specific Change in Law that justifies such
amounts due, and (iii)Β such other pertinent information related to the foregoing as any Borrower
may reasonably request, shall be delivered to such Borrower and shall be presumed correct absent

reductions incurred more than 120Β days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lenderβs or the Issuing Bankβs intention to claim compensation therefor;

retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 2.12. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a)Β the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last
day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default),
(b)Β the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, (c)Β the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on
the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may
be revoked under SectionΒ 2.07(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d)Β the
assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto as a result of an assignment required by WIL pursuant to SectionΒ 4.03(b), then, in
any such event, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall compensate each Lender for the loss,
cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or
expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the
excess, if any, of (i)Β the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of
such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable to such
Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest
Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that
would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over
29
Β
(ii)Β the amount of interest which would
accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid
were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a
comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any
Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
SectionΒ shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be presumed correct absent manifest error,
and shall set forth a calculation of such amounts and such other information as any Borrower may
reasonably request. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay such Lender the amount shown
as due on any such certificate within 10Β days after receipt thereof.

2.13. Agreement to Defer Exercise of Right of Contribution, Etc. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by a Borrower (a βPaying Borrowerβ)
hereunder, or any setoff or application by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any security
furnished by, or of any credits or claims against, such Paying Borrower, if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, such Paying Borrower will not assert or exercise any rights of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender or of its own, against any other Borrower to recover the amount
of any such payment, setoff or application by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether by
way of assertion of any claim, or exercise of any remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution, indemnification, participation or otherwise, and whether arising by
contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise, and, if an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, such Paying Borrower shall not have any
right to exercise any right of recourse to or any claim against assets or property of the other
Borrowers for such amounts, in each case unless and until all of the Obligations of the Borrowers
have been fully and finally satisfied. If any amount shall be paid to a Paying Borrower by any
other Borrower after payment in full of the Obligations, and the Obligations shall thereafter be
reinstated in whole or in part and the Administrative Agent or any Lender forced to repay to any
Borrower any sums received in payment of the Obligations, the obligations of each Borrower
hereunder shall be automatically pro tanto reinstated and such amount shall be held in trust by the
payee thereof for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be
paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured.

LETTERS OF CREDIT
LETTERS OF CREDIT
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 3.01. Letters of Credit.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, a Borrower may
request the issuance of Letters of Credit, denominated in Dollars, for its own account, in a form
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time
to time during the Availability Period. The Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, and
Borrowers shall not request the issuance of, any Letter of Credit at any time if after giving
effect to such issuance, the LC Exposure would exceed the LC Commitment or the total
30
Β
Revolving
Credit Exposure would exceed the total Commitments. In the event of any inconsistency between the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit
application or other agreement submitted by a Borrower to, or entered into by a Borrower with, the
Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
control. Nothing contained in this ArticleΒ III is intended to limit or restrict the rights
of any Borrower or any Subsidiary to obtain letters of credit from any Person, regardless of
whether such Person is a party hereto.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request
the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter
of Credit), a Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent (five Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the
Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date
on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraphΒ (c) of
this SectionΒ 3.01), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or
extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, a Borrower also shall submit a
letter of credit application on the Issuing Bankβs standard form in connection with any request for
a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and
upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower
shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension, (i)Β the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders shall not
exceed the total Commitments and (ii)Β the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Commitment. Unless
the Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any
Obligor, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in
SectionΒ 5.03 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue, amend, renew or extend, as applicable, such
Letter of Credit.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire no later than the close of
business on the date that is fifteen (15)Β days prior to the Maturity Date then in effect.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a
Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the
Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby
acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lenderβs
Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.
In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank,
such Lenderβs Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not
reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraphΒ (e) of this
SectionΒ 3.01, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to a Borrower for any
reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations
31
Β
pursuant
to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any
Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the
Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or
reduction whatsoever.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a
Letter of Credit, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by
paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00
noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date that such LC
Disbursement is made, if the Borrowers shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement on the
date that such LC Disbursement is made, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrowers
on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately
following the date that the Borrowers receive such notice; provided that, if such LC Disbursement
is not less than $1,000,000, the applicable Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing
set forth herein, request in accordance with SectionΒ 2.02 or SectionΒ 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR
Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowersβ obligation to make
such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing. If the Borrowers
fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the
applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such
Lenderβs Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender
shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the
Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in SectionΒ 2.03 with respect to Loans made by
such Lender (and SectionΒ 2.03 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of
the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so
received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any
payment from a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such
payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this
paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their
interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the
Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Borrowings as contemplated
above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to
reimburse such LC Disbursement.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowersβ joint and several obligations to reimburse
LC Disbursements as provided in paragraphΒ (e) of this SectionΒ shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i)Β any lack of validity
or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein,
(ii)Β any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect, (iii)Β payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft
or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, excluding payments
by the Issuing Bank with respect to drafts or other documents that do not comply on their face with
the express terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv)Β any other event or circumstance whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of
32
Β
this Section,
constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowersβ
obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any
of their Affiliates, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with
the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment
thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any
error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or
other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to
make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence
arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not
be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct
damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the
Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by a Borrower that are caused by the
Issuing Bankβs failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents
presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly
agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful acts on the part of
the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in
each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality
thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to
be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its
sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for
further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept
and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms
of such Letter of Credit.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for whose
account the Letter of Credit was issued by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for
payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or shall make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided
that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve any Borrower of its
obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then,
unless such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by a Borrower in full on the date such LC Disbursement is
made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such
LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such LC Disbursement is reimbursed, at the
rate per annum then applicable to ABR Borrowings; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse
such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraphΒ (e) of this SectionΒ 3.01, then
SectionΒ 2.09(d)(ii) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for
the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by
any Lender pursuant to paragraphΒ (d) of this SectionΒ 3.01 to reimburse the Issuing
Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
33
Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by
written agreement among WIL, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor
Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the
Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers, jointly and
severally, shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant
to SectionΒ 2.08(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i)Β the
successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii)Β references herein to
the term βIssuing Bankβ shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous
Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require.
After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party
hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not
be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on
the Business Day that the Borrowers receive notice from the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders
with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of
cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the
Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders,
an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon; provided that the joint and several obligation of the Borrowers to deposit such cash
collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and
payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
with respect to a Borrower described in clausesΒ (f) or (g) of SectionΒ 9.01.
If the Borrowers are required to provide cash collateralization pursuant to SectionΒ 3.01,
the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the
Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, Dollars in the amount required by
SectionΒ 3.01, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Any such deposits pursuant to
this paragraphΒ (j) shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment
and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent
shall have exclusive dominion and control, as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State
of New York, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. The Administrative
Agent shall have no obligation to pay interest on the investment of such deposits, but the
Administrative Agent shall invest such deposits in a manner consistent with the Administrative
Agentβs management of its own overnight cash investments, which investments shall be made at the
Borrowersβ risk and expense. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in
such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the
Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so
applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the joint and several reimbursement obligations of
the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51%
of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this
Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a
result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such
34
Β
amount (to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of
Default have been cured or waived.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (k) Other. The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of
Credit if
Β Β Β Β Β (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by
its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit,
or any Requirement of Law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction
over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the
issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall
impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve
or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder)
not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed
loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the Issuing
Bank in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;
Β Β Β Β Β (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the
Issuing Bank; or
Β Β Β Β Β (iii) any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Bank has
entered into satisfactory arrangements with Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate the
Issuing Bankβs risk with respect to such Lender.
The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A)Β the Issuing Bank
would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the
terms hereof, or (B)Β the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed
amendment to such Letter of Credit.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (l) Defaulting Lenders. If at any time a Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, then,
upon written notice thereof to WIL not later than 11:00Β a.m., New York City time two Business Days
prior to the date such deposit is to be effected, the Issuing Bank shall have the right to require
the Borrowers to deposit, as cash collateral, with the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal
to the Pro Rata Percentage of such Defaulting Lender times then outstanding LC Exposure plus all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon into such accounts as may be directed by the Issuing Bank and
the Administrative Agent on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent. Funds so deposited shall be invested in overnight investments and applied by
the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not
been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of
outstanding reimbursement obligations. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash
collateral pursuant to this SectionΒ 3.01(l), such amount plus any accrued interest or
realized profits with respect to such amounts (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be
returned to WIL within three Business Days after the first date that there shall be no Defaulting
Lenders and the Issuing Bank is satisfied that all of the LC Exposure is allocated to Lenders that
are not Defaulting Lenders.

offices at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing
Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to SectionsΒ 2.11,
2.12, 4.02 and 12.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled
thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the
account of any other Person to the
appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be
due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall
be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. Any
payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made
by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the
necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of
the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then
due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i)Β first, towards payment of interest and fees then due
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest
and fees then due to such parties, and (ii)Β second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed
LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with
the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in
LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon
than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion
shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that
(i)Β if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise
thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii)Β the provisions of this paragraph shall not be
construed to apply to any payment made by a
36
Β
Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of
or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any
assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to
which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and
agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of
set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a
direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the
Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower shall not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the
Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if a Borrower
has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by
the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (e)Β If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
SectionΒ 3.01(d), 3.01(e), 2.03(b) or 4.01(d), then the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply
any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to
satisfy such Lenderβs obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are
fully paid.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 4.02. Taxes.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided
that if any Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such
payments, then (i)Β the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section)
the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii)Β such Borrower shall make such
deductions and (iii)Β such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 20Β days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of
any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of a
Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
37
Β
imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or
the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the
Issuing Bank, shall be presumed correct absent manifest error.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the
law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located or treated as located for income Tax
purposes, or any treaty to which any such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under
this Agreement shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the
time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by
such Borrower as shall permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced
rate.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes paid by a Borrower or with respect to which a
Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this SectionΒ 4.02, it shall pay over such
refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts
paid, by such Borrower under this SectionΒ 4.02 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund); provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay promptly the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
such amount) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or
such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not
be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns
(or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any
other Person.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (e)Β Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender shall deliver to
each Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date or upon the effectiveness of any
Assignment and Assumption by which it becomes a party to this Agreement (i)Β two duly completed
copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8EXP or W-8IMY or other
applicable governmental form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Lender is
entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes payable to it without deduction or
withholding of any United States federal income Taxes, as if each Borrower were incorporated under
the laws of the United States or a State thereof, and (ii)Β any other governmental forms which are
necessary or required under an applicable Tax treaty or otherwise by law to eliminate any
withholding Tax or which have been reasonably requested by the Borrowers. Each Lender which
delivers to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8EXP or W-8IMY or
other applicable governmental form pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver
to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two further copies of such form on or before the date
that any such form expires (currently, three successive calendar years for Form W-8BEN or
38
Β
FormΒ W-8ECI) or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most
recent form so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as
may reasonably be requested by a Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in each case certifying
that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or
withholding of any United States federal income Taxes, unless an event (including any change in
treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would
otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender
from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender advises the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any
deduction or withholding of United States federal income Taxes and in any such event, each Borrower
shall withhold Taxes at the rate and in the manner required by the laws of the United States with
respect to payments made to such a Lender and shall be required
to pay any additional amounts or indemnify such a Lender pursuant to this SectionΒ 4.02
with respect to such withheld Taxes.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (f)Β The Borrowers, jointly and severally, will remit to the appropriate Governmental
Authority, prior to delinquency, all Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes payable in respect of any
payment. Within 30Β days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the
applicable Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or such other evidence thereof
as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (g)Β Any payment of obligation of Borrowers under this SectionΒ 4.02 shall be subject to
the provisions of SectionΒ 4.03.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 4.03. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders; Replacement of Issuing
Bank.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β If any Lender requests compensation under SectionΒ 2.11, or if a Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to SectionΒ 4.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to
designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the
judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i)Β would eliminate or reduce amounts
payable pursuant to SectionΒ 2.11 or 4.02, as the case may be, in the future and
(ii)Β would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby, jointly and severally, agree to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β If (i)Β any Lender requests compensation under SectionΒ 2.11, or (ii)Β a Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to SectionΒ 4.02, or (iii)Β any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or
(iv)Β any Lender fails to provide its consent to a Redomestication under the laws of a jurisdiction
(other than the United Kingdom or The Kingdom of the Netherlands) outside of the United States,
then XXX xxx, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative
Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
39
Β
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in SectionΒ 12.05), all its interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be
another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (1)Β WIL shall have received the
prior written consent of the Issuing Bank and, if such assignee is not already a Lender hereunder,
the Administrative Agent, which consent of the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (if
applicable) shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (2)Β such Lender shall have
received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in
LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all
other amounts) and (3)Β in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under SectionΒ 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to SectionΒ 4.02, such
assignment shall result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be
required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by
such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling WIL to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply and such Lender neither received nor continued to claim any such compensation or
payment.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β If the Issuing Bank refuses to approve any Commitment Increase under SectionΒ 2.15,
then XXX xxx, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent, replace the Issuing Bank; provided that (i)Β if the successor Issuing Bank is
not already a Lender hereunder, WIL shall have received the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and
(ii)Β if there are any Letters of Credit outstanding at the time of any such replacement, such
replacement shall not become effective until each such outstanding Letter of Credit (A)Β shall have
expired, (B)Β shall have been cancelled, (C)Β shall have been replaced with one or more Letters of
Credit issued by the replacement Issuing Bank on the effective date of such replacement or
(D)Β shall be supported by a βback-to-backβ Letter of Credit issued by the replacement Issuing Bank
on the effective date of such replacement. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of
any such replacement of the Issuing Bank pursuant to this SectionΒ 4.03(c). At the time any
such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay all unpaid
fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to SectionΒ 2.08(b).
From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x)Β the successor Issuing Bank shall
have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to
Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (y)Β references herein to the term βIssuing
Bankβ shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such
successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of
an Issuing Bank under this SectionΒ 4.03(c), to the extent any Letters of Credit issued by
the replaced Issuing Bank remain outstanding after such replacement, the replaced Issuing Bank
shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing
Bank under this Agreement with respect to such Letters of Credit, but shall not be required to
issue additional Letters of Credit.

6.08. ERISA.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Each Obligor and each ERISA Affiliate has maintained and administered each Plan in
compliance with all applicable laws, except for such instances of noncompliance as have not

such returns, statements and reports) which are shown to be due pursuant to such returns, except
where the failure to pay such taxes (collectively for the Obligors and the Material Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole) would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No material income tax liability of
any Obligor or any Material Subsidiary has been asserted by the Internal Revenue Service of the
United States or any other Governmental Authority for any taxes in excess of those already paid,
except for taxes which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which

Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in SectionΒ 12.01) or in the absence of its own gross negligence,

believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for
any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.

this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the
Issuing Bank and WIL. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in
consultation with WIL, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30Β days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may,
on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall
be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative
Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the
Borrowers and such successor. After the Administrative Agentβs resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Sections
12.03 and 12.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each
Lender also acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Guaranteed Obligations when due, notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action, or

proceeds to any Person (a)Β because such payment or application of proceeds is or may be avoided,
invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference,
fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, impermissible set-off or a diversion of trust funds or
(b)Β for any other reason, including (i)Β any judgment, decree or order of any court or
administrative body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender
or any of their respective properties or (ii)Β any settlement or compromise of any such claim
effected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with any such claimant (including any Borrower),

and continue, and this Guaranty shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not
been received, notwithstanding any
60
Β
revocation thereof or the cancellation of any instrument
evidencing any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise; and WII shall be liable to pay the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, and hereby does indemnify the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders and hold them harmless for the amount of
such payment or proceeds so surrendered and all reasonable expenses (including reasonable
attorneysβ fees, court costs and expenses attributable thereto) incurred by the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any such Lender in the defense of any claim made against it that any
payment or proceeds received by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any such Lender in
respect of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations must be surrendered. The provisions of this
paragraph shall survive the termination of this Guaranty and any satisfaction and discharge of the
Borrowers by virtue of any payment, court order, or any law.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 11.04. Waiver. WII hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect
to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and waives presentment, demand for payment,
notice of intent to accelerate, notice of dishonor or nonpayment and any requirement that the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender institute suit, collection proceedings or take
any other action to collect any of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any requirement that the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien
against any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Borrower
or any other Person or any collateral (it being the intention of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank, the Lenders, and WII that this Guaranty is to be a guaranty of payment and not of
collection). It shall not be necessary for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender, in order to enforce any payment by WII hereunder, to institute suit or exhaust its rights
and remedies against WII, any Borrower or any other Person, including others liable to pay the
Guaranteed Obligations, or to enforce its rights against any security ever given to secure payment
thereof. WII hereby expressly waives to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law each and
every right to which it may be entitled by virtue of the suretyship laws of the State of Texas or
any other state in which it may be located, including any and all rights it may have pursuant to
RuleΒ 31, Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, SectionΒ 17.001 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies
Code and ChapterΒ 34 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code. WII hereby waives marshaling of
assets and liabilities, notice by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender of any
indebtedness or liability to which such Person applies or may apply any amounts received by it, and
of the creation, advancement, increase, existence, extension, renewal, rearrangement or
modification of the Guaranteed Obligations. WII expressly waives, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the benefit of any and all laws providing for exemption of property from execution
or for valuation and appraisal upon foreclosure.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 11.05. Agreement to Defer Exercise of Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by WII hereunder, or any setoff or application by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any security or of any credits or claims, WII will not
assert or exercise any rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or of itself against any
Borrower to recover the amount of any payment made hereunder by WII to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender by way of any claim, remedy or subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution,
indemnity, participation or otherwise arising by contract, by statute, under common law or
otherwise, and WII shall not have any right to exercise any right of recourse to or any claim
against assets or property of any Borrower for such amounts, in each case unless and until the
61
Β
Obligations of such Borrower guaranteed hereby have been fully and finally satisfied. Until such
time (but not thereafter), WII hereby agrees not to exercise any claim, right or remedy which it
may now have or hereafter acquire against any Borrower that arises under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or from the performance by WII of the Guaranty hereunder including any claim,
remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or
participation in any claim, right or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any
Borrower or WII, or any security that the Administrative Agent or any Lender now has or hereafter
acquires pursuant hereto securing the Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, whether or
not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise. If any
amount shall be paid to WII by any Borrower after payment in full of the Obligations, and the
Obligations shall thereafter be reinstated in whole or in part and the Administrative Agent or any
Lender forced to repay any sums received by any of them in payment of the Obligations, this
Guaranty shall be automatically reinstated and such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent
to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. The
provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Guaranty, and any satisfaction
and discharge of any Borrower by virtue of any payment, court order or any federal or state law.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 11.06. Full Force and Effect. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and, subject to SectionΒ 11.07, shall remain in
full force and effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents to which any Borrower is a party and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty
have been paid in full (after the termination of the Commitments). All rights, remedies and powers
provided in this Guaranty may be exercised, and all waivers contained in this Guaranty may be
enforced, only to the extent that the exercise or enforcement thereof does not violate any
provisions of applicable law which may not be waived.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 11.07. Guaranty Fall-Away Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if at any time WII has no
outstanding Specified Debt, exclusive of (a)Β the Guaranty, (b)Β any guarantee that, by its terms,
will be automatically released and discharged simultaneously with the release and discharge of the
Guaranty and (c)Β Specified Debt owed to WIL or any of WILβs other Subsidiaries, the Guaranty will
terminate; provided that the Guaranty will be automatically reinstated if WII incurs or guarantees
any Specified Debt other than Specified Debt owed to WIL or any of WILβs other Subsidiaries. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any termination of the Guaranty or automatic
reinstatement of the Guaranty pursuant to this SectionΒ 11.07.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in
exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the

exercise of
any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they
would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by
any Obligor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without

Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights
or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be. Subject to the
foregoing, the waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of ArticleΒ VI,

Required Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have
any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except to the extent

result from the joinder of such Subsidiary as a Borrower on such Joinder Date or (z)Β if WIL shall
designate an additional Subsidiary as a Borrower hereunder that is not organized under the laws of
any jurisdiction of the United States, and any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that such
Subsidiary is organized in a jurisdiction in which it and its Affiliates cannot legally lend or do
business. Without limiting the foregoing, if the designation of any additional Subsidiary as a
Borrower hereunder obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with βknow your
customerβ or similar regulatory requirements and the information necessary for such compliance is
not already available to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, WIL shall,
promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, supply such
documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as applicable, in order for it to comply with all βknow your customerβ and/or similar
identification procedures required under all applicable laws and regulations. If WIL shall

WIL, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender to act as the Lender in respect
of such Borrower (and such Lender shall, to the extent of Loans made to and participations in
Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, be deemed for all purposes hereof to

Β Β Β Β Β SECTION
12.04. Indemnity.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Affiliate thereof, and their respective directors, officers,
employees and agents (each such Person being called an βIndemniteeβ) from, and hold each
Indemnitee harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims or damages (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) to which any Indemnitee may become subject, insofar as such
losses, liabilities, claims or damages arise out of or result from (i)Β any claim, investigation,
litigation or proceeding (including any threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding)
relating to this Agreement, any Loan, any Letter of Credit or any other Loan Document (whether or
not such Indemnitee is a party thereto) or (ii)Β any actual or proposed use by either Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries of the proceeds of any extension of credit by any Lender or the Issuing
Bank hereunder, and the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall reimburse each Indemnitee upon
demand for any expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred in connection with any such
claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding; but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims,
damages or expenses incurred by reason of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful
conduct of such Indemnitee. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, IT IS THE EXPRESS
INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH INDEMNITEE HEREUNDER SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED AND HELD
HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING
FROM THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNITEE. WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO THE
SURVIVAL OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWERS HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO
WHICH THE BORROWERS ARE A PARTY, THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWERS UNDER THIS SECTION 12.04
SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE PAYMENT OF THE
OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE NOTES.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β To the extent that any Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank under SectionΒ 12.03 or paragraph (a) of
this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, such Lenderβs Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the
applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided
that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related
expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or
the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such.
66
Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Obligor shall assert, and each hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any
Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i)Β no Obligor may
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by such Obligor without such
consent shall be null and void) and (ii)Β no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed
or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank
that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of
this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the

a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of WIL shall be required if an
Event of Default under SectionΒ 9.01(a), 9.01(f) or 9.01(g)
has occurred and is continuing;
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (G) in the case of any assignee subject to the prior written consent of WIL
under SectionΒ 12.05(b)(i), no assignment shall be made to any such assignee
unless such assignee provides a written representation to WIL that such assignee is
not subject under then current law to any withholding tax on amounts payable to such
assignee under this Agreement.
Β Β Β Β Β For purposes of this SectionΒ 12.05, the term βApproved Fundβ has the following
meaning:
βApproved Fundβ means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in
making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in
the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a)Β a Lender,
(b)Β an Affiliate of a Lender or (c)Β an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers
or manages a Lender.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to
subparagraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to
the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released
68
Β
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering
all of the assigning Lenderβs rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall
cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.11, 2.12, 4.02, 12.03 and 12.04). Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this SectionΒ 12.05 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers,
shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to
it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing by each Borrower
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the βRegisterβ).
The entries in the Register shall be presumed correct, in the absence of manifest error, and
the Obligors, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Obligors, the Issuing Bank and any Lender,
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assigneeβs completed Administrative Questionnaire
(unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation
fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such
assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall
accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the
Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to
make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to SectionΒ 2.03, 3.01(d)
or (e), 4.01(d) or 12.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall have no
obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in
the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all
accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement
unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
Β Β Β Β Β (c) (i)Β Any Lender may, without the consent of any Obligor, the Administrative Agent or
the Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a
βParticipantβ) in all or a portion of such Lenderβs rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing
to it); provided that (A)Β such Lenderβs obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (B)Β such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for
the performance of such obligations and (C)Β the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lenderβs rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
69
Β
provide
that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso
to SectionΒ 12.01(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to
subparagraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of SectionsΒ 2.11, 2.12 and 4.02 to
the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant
to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant
also shall be entitled to the benefits of SectionΒ 9.02 as though it were a Lender,
provided such Participant agrees to be subject to SectionΒ 4.01(b), and to deliver
the forms required by SectionΒ 4.02(e), as though it were a Lender.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
SectionsΒ 2.11 and 4.02 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled
to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of
the participation to such Participant is made with WILβs prior written consent. A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the
benefits of SectionΒ 4.02 unless WIL is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with
SectionΒ 4.02(d) and SectionΒ 4.02(e) as though it were a Lender.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall
not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or
assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 12.06. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed
(a)Β to its and its Affiliatesβ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants,
legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is
made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential), (b)Β to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or
self-regulatory body having or claiming jurisdiction over such Person, (c)Β to the extent required
by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)Β to any other
party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (e)Β in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f)Β subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i)Β any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or (ii)Β any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any
swap or derivative transaction relating to any Obligors and their respective obligations, (g)Β with
the consent of the applicable Obligors or (h)Β to the extent such Information (i)Β becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a
70
Β
breach of this Section or (ii)Β becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than an Obligor. For the purposes of this Section, βInformationβ means all
information received from any Obligor relating to such Obligor or any other Obligor or their
respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the
applicable Obligor; provided that such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in
this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information. Each of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall endeavor to notify WIL as promptly as possible of any
Information that it is required to disclose pursuant to any subpoena or similar legal process so
long as it is not legally prohibited from providing such notice.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 12.07. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Obligors herein, in the
other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or
pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied
upon by the other parties hereto and thereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of
Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice
or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is
extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any
accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is
outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have
not expired or terminated. The provisions of SectionsΒ 2.11, 2.12, 4.02,
12.03 and 12.04 and ArticleΒ X shall survive and remain in full force and
effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the
Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the
termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 12.08. Governing Law. This Agreement, all Notes, the other Loan Documents and all other documents executed in
connection herewith and therewith and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto and thereto,
shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 12.09. Independence of Covenants. All covenants contained in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall be given
independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such
covenants, the fact that such action or condition would be permitted by an exception to, or
otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant, shall not avoid the occurrence of a
Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 12.10. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single
71
Β
contract. This Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents and any
separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the
entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all
previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date, and thereafter shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 12.11. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall
not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 12.12. Conflicts Between This Agreement and the Other Loan Documents. In the event of any conflict between, or inconsistency with, the terms of this Agreement and the
terms of any of the other Loan Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 12.13. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of
reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be
taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 12.14. Limitation of Interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to
any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such
Loan under applicable law (collectively the βChargesβ), shall exceed the maximum lawful
rate (the βMaximum Rateβ) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved
by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in
respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be
limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have
been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this
Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other
Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated
amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of
repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION
12.15. Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Each Obligor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property,

appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each
of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of
any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto
72
Β
agrees that a final judgment
in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document against any Obligor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Each Obligor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section. Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in SectionΒ 12.02. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 12.16. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT
MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND
THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A)Β CERTIFIES
THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)Β ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 12.17. Judgment Currency. The obligation of each Obligor to make payments on any Obligation to the Lenders, to the Issuing
Bank or to the Administrative Agent hereunder in any currency (the βfirst currencyβ) shall
not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or
converted into any other currency (the βsecond currencyβ) except to the extent to which
such tender or recovery shall result in the effective receipt by the applicable Lender, Issuing
Bank or the Administrative Agent of the full amount of the first currency payable, and accordingly
the primary obligation of each Obligor shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause
of action for the purpose of recovery in the second currency of the amount (if any) by which such
effective receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the full currency payable and shall not be
affected by a judgment being obtained for any other sum due hereunder.
73
Β
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 12.18. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of
Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law OctoberΒ 26, 2001)) (the βActβ) hereby notifies the Obligors
that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies each Obligor, which information includes the name and address of such
Obligor and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Obligor in accordance
with the Act.
Β Β Β Β Β SECTION 12.19. No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of
this paragraph, the βLendersβ), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the
Borrowers. The Borrowers agree that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to
create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the
Lenders and the Borrowers, their stockholders or their affiliates. The Obligors acknowledge and
agree that (i)Β the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are armβs-length commercial
transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other, (ii)Β in
connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each of the Lenders is acting
solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrowers, their management,
stockholders, creditors or any other person, (iii)Β no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary
responsibility in favor of the Borrowers with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or
the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its affiliates has
advised or is currently advising the Borrowers on other matters) or any other obligation to the
Borrowers except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (iv)Β each of the
Borrowers has consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.
Each of the Borrowers further acknowledges and agrees that it is
responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the

rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such
Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
