held by such Continuing Lenders (such Loans being called "Retained Loans"), (ii)
the respective amounts of the Loans of each class under the Existing Credit
Agreement that will be assigned on the Effectiveness Date pursuant to Section
7(a) by the Assigning Lenders (such Loans being called the "Assigned Loans"),
(iii) the respective amounts of the Assigned Loans of each class that will be

pursuant to Section 9. The amounts of the Assigned Loans of each Class under
the Existing Credit Agreement that are to be assigned by each Assigning Lender
and purchased by each Increasing Lender, as set forth in the Funding Memorandum,
will be such that, after giving effect to such assignments and purchases and to
the additional Loans made on the Effectiveness Date pursuant to Section 7(b),
the Loans of each Class to be outstanding under the Restated Credit Agreement
will be held by the Continuing Lenders in the respective amounts (or, in the
case of Revolving Loans, pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit
Commitments) set forth in Schedule 2.01 to the Restated Credit Agreement.
SECTION 7. Assignment and Purchase; Additional Loans. (a) Subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 10, effective on the Effectiveness Date, (i)
each Assigning Lender hereby sells, assigns and transfers to the Increasing
Lenders, without recourse, representation or warranty (other than as expressly
set forth below in this paragraph), all its Assigned Loans of each Class and all
its related rights and interests under the Existing Credit Agreement, and (ii)
each Increasing Lender hereby purchases and accepts from the Assigning Lenders
the Assigned Loans of each Class to be purchased by it and all such related
rights and interests. The parties hereto acknowledge that each Increasing
Lender is purchasing its Assigned Loans of each Class ratably from each
Assigning Lender assigning Loans of such Class and that each Assigning Lender is
assigning its Assigned Loans of each Class ratably to each Increasing Lender
purchasing Loans of such Class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Original
Lenders shall retain the exclusive right under the Existing Credit Agreement to
receive and retain the payments referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 9,
and (B) the Departing Lenders shall retain all their rights arising out of the
period prior to the Effectiveness Date under the Existing Credit Agreement in
respect of indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations (including
under Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 10.05 of the Existing Credit Agreement, each
as in effect immediately prior to the Effectiveness Date), which shall survive
the amendment of the Existing Credit Agreement without prejudice to the rights
of the Continuing Lenders under the Restated Credit Agreement (including under
such Sections). Each Assigning Lender represents to each Increasing Lender that
it owns the Loans and related interests being assigned by it hereunder free and
clear of any Liens and that it has the power and all requisite authority to
effect the assignments provided for herein.
5
(b) On the Effectiveness Date, each Continuing Lender with a Commitment of
any Class will make new Loans of such Class, as provided in Section 2.01 of the
Restated Credit Agreement, in a principal amount equal to the difference between
(i) such Lender's pro rata percentage, based upon its applicable Commitment, of
the Loans of such Class to be outstanding on the Effectiveness Date after giving
effect to the transactions provided for herein and in the Restated Credit
Agreement and (ii) the sum of (x) the principal amount of the Loans of such
Class acquired by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 7 and
(y) the principal amount of the Loans of such Class to be held by such Lender
after giving effect to Section 3(b) above that are not assigned by such Lender
to any other Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 7.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event
any Departing Lender shall not have executed this Agreement, the Loans of such
Departing Lender will not be assigned as provided in paragraph (a) above, but
will instead be repaid with the proceeds of new Loans made by the Continuing
Lenders as provided in paragraph (b) above. The third sentence of paragraph (a)
above will continue to apply for the benefit of any Departing Lender referred to
in this paragraph.
SECTION 8. Consents and Releases. The Company hereby consents and agrees
to the transactions contemplated by Sections 6 and 7 and hereby releases,
effective on the Effectiveness Date, the Departing Lenders from all their
obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement. The Continuing Lenders and the
Company agree that, upon the effectiveness of the amendment and restatement
provided for in Section 3, the obligations of the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent and the Continuing Lenders shall, except as expressly set forth herein, be
limited to those set forth in the Restated Credit Agreement.

prepay any Loan.
