(ii) The aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan made on
the Effective Date shall not exceed the Total Term Loan Commitment. Any
principal amount of the Term Loan which is repaid or prepaid may not be
re-borrowed.
Section 2.02 Making the Loans. (a) The Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent prior written notice (in substantially the form of Exhibit
D hereto (a "Notice of Borrowing")), not later than (x) in the case of a
borrowing consisting of a Reference Rate Loan, 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on the borrowing date of the proposed Reference Rate Loan, and (y) in the case
of a borrowing consisting of LIBOR Rate Loans, 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on a date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed
borrowing. Such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i)
the principal amount of the proposed Loan (which, in the case of a LIBOR Rate
Loan, must be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in integral multiples of
$100,000 in excess thereof), (ii) whether such Loan is requested to be a
Reference Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan and, in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan,
the initial Interest Period with respect thereto, (iii) in the case of Loans
requested on the Effective Date, whether such Loan is requested to be a
Revolving Loan or the Term Loan, (iv) the use of the proceeds of such proposed
Loan, and (v) the proposed borrowing date, which must be a Business Day, and,
with respect to the Term Loan, must be the Effective Date. The Administrative
Agent and the Lenders may act without liability upon the basis of written or
telecopied notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from
the Borrower (or from any Authorized Officer thereof designated in writing
purportedly from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent). The Administrative
Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any Authorized
Officer's authority to request a Loan on behalf of the Borrower until the
Administrative Agent receives written notice to the contrary. The Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the
signature appearing on any written Notice of Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, all Loans made on the Effective Date shall be Reference
Rate Loans. Thereafter all or any portion of the Loans maybe converted into
LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of Section 2.09.
(b) Each Notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall
be irrevocable and the Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance
therewith. Each
-31-
Revolving Loan shall be made in a minimum amount of $500,000 and shall be in an
integral multiple of $50,000.
(c) (i) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection 2.02(c),
all Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and
proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares of the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment and the Total Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, it being
understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other
Lender in that other Lender's obligations to make a Loan requested hereunder,
nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of
the default by any other Lender in that other Lender's obligation to make a Loan
requested hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans
required to be made by it by the terms of this Agreement regardless of the
failure by any other Lender.
(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
and in order to reduce the number of fund transfers among the Borrower, the
Agents and the Lenders, the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders agree that the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), and the Borrower and
the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to, fund, on
behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders, Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.01,
subject to the procedures for settlement set forth in subsection 2.02(d);
provided, however, that (a) the Administrative Agent shall in no event fund any
such Revolving Loans if the Administrative Agent shall have received written
notice from the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders on the Business Day
prior to the date of the proposed Revolving Loan that one or more of the
conditions precedent contained in Section 4.02 will not be satisfied at the time
of the proposed Revolving Loan, and (b) the Administrative Agent shall not
otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions
precedent in Section 4.02 have been satisfied. If either (x) the Borrower gives
a Notice of Borrowing requesting a Revolving Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan or
(y) the Administrative Agent elects not to fund a requested Revolving Loan that
is a Reference Rate Loan on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders, then promptly
after receipt of the Notice of Borrowing requesting such Revolving Loan, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Loan Lender of the specifics of
the requested Revolving Loan and that it will not fund the requested Revolving
Loan on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders. If the Administrative Agent
notifies the Revolving Loan Lenders that it will not fund a requested Revolving
Loan on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders, each Revolving Loan Lender shall
make its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan available to the Administrative
Agent, in immediately available funds, in the Administrative Agent's Account no
later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) (provided that the Administrative
Agent requests payment from such Revolving Loan Lender not later than 1:00 p.m.
(New York City time)) on the date of the proposed Revolving Loan. The
Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to
the Borrower on the day of the proposed Revolving Loan by causing an amount, in
immediately available funds, equal to the proceeds of all such Revolving Loans
received by the Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent's Account or
the amount funded by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Loan
Lenders to be deposited in an account designated by the Borrower.
(iii) If the Administrative Agent has notified the Revolving
Loan Lenders that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Revolving Loan
Lenders, will not fund a particular Revolving Loan pursuant to subsection
2.02(c)(ii), the Administrative Agent
-32-
may assume that each such Revolving Loan Lender has made such amount available
to the Administrative Agent on such day and the Administrative Agent, in its
sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, cause a corresponding
amount to be made available to the Borrower on such day. If the Administrative
Agent makes such corresponding amount available to the Borrower and such
corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent
by any such Revolving Loan Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Revolving Loan Lender
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due
until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal
Funds Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate. During
the period in which such Revolving Loan Lender has not paid such corresponding
amount to the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced
by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be a
Revolving Loan made by the Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon any
such failure by a Revolving Loan Lender to pay the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower of such
failure and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the
Administrative Agent for its own account.
(iv) Nothing in this subsection 2.02(c) shall be deemed to
relieve any Revolving Loan Lender from its obligations to fulfill its Revolving
Credit Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative
Agent or the Borrower may have against any Revolving Loan Lender as a result of
any default by such Revolving Loan Lender hereunder.
(d) (i) With respect to each LIBOR Rate Loan, on the first and
the last date of each Interest Period, and with respect to all periods for which
the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders, has funded
Revolving Loans that are Reference Rate Loans pursuant to subsection 2.02(c), on
Friday of each week, or if the applicable Friday is not a Business Day, then on
the following Business Day, or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent
may from time to time select (any such Interest Period, week or shorter period
being herein called a "Settlement Period"), the Administrative Agent shall
notify each Revolving Loan Lender of the unpaid principal amount of the
Revolving Loans outstanding as of the last day of each such Settlement Period.
In the event that such amount is greater than the unpaid principal amount of the
Revolving Loans outstanding on the last day of the Settlement Period immediately
preceding such Settlement Period (or, if there has been no preceding Settlement
Period, the amount of the Revolving Loans made on the date of such Revolving
Loan Lender's initial funding), each Revolving Loan Lender shall promptly (and
in any event not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) if the Administrative
Agent requests payment from such Lender not later than 12:00 noon (New York City
time) on such day) make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share
of the difference in immediately available funds. In the event that such amount
is less than such unpaid principal amount, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly pay over to each Revolving Loan Lender its Pro Rata Share of the
difference in immediately available funds. In addition, if the Administrative
Agent shall so request at any time when a Default or an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, or any other event shall have occurred as a
result of which the Administrative Agent shall determine that it is desirable to
present claims against the Borrower for repayment, each Revolving Loan Lender
shall promptly remit to the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, the
Administrative
-33-
Agent shall promptly remit to each Revolving Loan Lender, sufficient funds to
adjust the interests of the Revolving Loan Lenders in the then outstanding
Revolving Loans to such an extent that, after giving effect to such adjustment,
each such Revolving Loan Lender's interest in the then outstanding Revolving
Loans will be equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof. The obligations of the
Administrative Agent and each Revolving Loan Lender under this subsection
2.02(d) shall be absolute and unconditional. Each Revolving Loan Lender shall
only be entitled to receive interest on its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving
Loans which have been funded by such Revolving Loan Lender.
(ii) In the event that any Revolving Loan Lender fails to
make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to subsection 2.02(d)(i),
the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount
on demand from such Revolving Loan Lender together with interest thereon, for
each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid
to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for three Business Days
and thereafter at the Reference Rate. During the period in which such Revolving
Loan Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by the Administrative Agent to the
Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Revolving Loan made by the
Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Revolving
Loan Lender to pay the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly thereafter notify the Borrower of such failure and, upon the
Administrative Agent's written demand, the Borrower shall immediately pay such
corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent for its own account. Nothing in
this subsection 2.02(d)(ii) shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Loan Lender
from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder or to
prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have
against any Revolving Loan Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving
Loan Lender hereunder.
Section 2.03 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The outstanding
principal of all Revolving Loans shall be due and payable on the Final Maturity
Date.
(b) The outstanding principal of the Term Loan shall be due and
payable on the Final Maturity Date.
(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to
such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender hereunder, including
the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time
to time hereunder.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it
shall record (i) the date and the amount of each Loan made hereunder and whether
such Loan is a Reference Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) the amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by
the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each
Lender's share thereof.
-34-
(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to
paragraph (c) or (d) 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 Borrower
to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by
a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such
Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested
by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a form furnished
by the Collateral Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Thereafter,
the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all
times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 11.07) be represented by
one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee
named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee
and its registered assigns).
Section 2.04 Interest. (a) Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Loan that
is a Reference Rate Loan shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof
from time to time outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate
plus 5.00%. Each Revolving Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest on
the principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding at a rate per annum
equal to the LIBOR Rate plus 6.50%.
(b) Term Loan. Each portion of the Term Loan that is a Reference
Rate Loan shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from time to time
outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus 5.00%. Each
portion of the Term Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest on the
principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding at a rate per annum equal
to the LIBOR Rate plus 6.50%.
(c) Default Interest. To the extent permitted by law, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the election of
the Administrative Agent, the principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest
on, all Loans, fees, indemnities or any other Obligations of the Loan Parties
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall bear interest, from the
date such Event of Default occurred until the date such Event of Default is
cured or waived in writing in accordance herewith, at a rate per annum equal at
all times to the Post-Default Rate.
(d) Interest Payment. Interest on each Loan (whether a Reference
Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan) shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the
first day of each month, commencing on the first day of the month following the
month in which such Loan is made and at maturity (whether upon demand, by
acceleration or otherwise). Interest at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable
on demand. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, and the
Administrative Agent may, from time to time, charge the Loan Account pursuant to
Section 3.02 with the amount of any interest payment due hereunder.
(e) General. All computations of interest shall be made on the
basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.
-35-
Section 2.05 Reduction of Commitment; Prepayment of Loans.
(a) Reduction of Commitments.
(i) Revolving Credit Commitments. The Total Revolving Credit
Commitment shall terminate on the Final Maturity Date. The Borrower shall not be
permitted to voluntarily reduce the Total Revolving Credit Commitment until July
25,2006. On and after such date, the Borrower may reduce the Total Revolving
Credit Commitment to an amount (which may be zero) not less than the sum of (A)
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding,
and (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans not yet made as to
which a Notice of Borrowing has been given by the Borrower under Section 2.02.
Each such reduction (w) shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 (unless the Total Revolving Credit Commitment in effect immediately
prior to such reduction is less than $1,000,000), (x) shall be made by providing
not less than five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent, (y) shall be irrevocable and (z) shall be accompanied by the payment of
the Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, payable in connection with such
reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. Once reduced, the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment may not be increased. Each such reduction of the
Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment
of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof.
(ii) Term Loan. The Total Term Loan Commitment shall
terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Effective Date.
(b) Optional Prepayment.
(i) Revolving Loans. The Borrower may at any time and from
time to time, prepay the principal of any Revolving Loan, in whole or in part,
and subject to the following sentence, without penalty or premium.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each prepayment made pursuant to this clause
(b)(i) made in connection with a reduction of the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment pursuant to clause (a)(i) above shall be accompanied by the payment
of the Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, payable in connection with such
reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.
(ii) Term Loan. Except in connection with a Financial
Covenant Cure Payment, in which case the Borrower shall at any time be permitted
to voluntarily prepay the principal of the Term Loan to the extent of such
Financial Covenant Cure Payment, the Borrower shall not be permitted to
voluntarily prepay the principal of the Term Loan, in whole or in part, until
July 25, 2006. On and after such date, the Borrower may, at any time and from
time to time, upon at least five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent, prepay the principal of the Term Loan, in whole or in
part. Each prepayment made pursuant to this clause (b)(ii) and any prepayment
made as a result of a Financial Covenant Cure Payment shall be accompanied by
the payment of (A) accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount
prepaid and (B) the Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, payable in connection
with such prepayment of the Term Loan.
-36-
(iii) Prepayment In Full. On and after July 25,2006, the
Borrower may, upon at least five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the
Agents, terminate this Agreement by paying to the Administrative Agent, in cash,
the Obligations, in full, together with the Applicable Prepayment Premium, if
any. If the Borrower has sent a notice of termination pursuant to this clause
(iii), then the Lenders' obligations to extend credit hereunder shall terminate
on the date set forth as the date of termination of this Agreement in such
notice and the Borrower shall be obligated to repay the Obligations, in full,
together with the Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, on the date set forth
as the date of termination of this Agreement in such notice.
(c) Mandatory Prepayment.
(i) [Intentionally Omitted.]
(ii) Within 2 Business Days of any Disposition by any Loan
Party or its Subsidiaries (other than Non-Loan Party Permitted Acquisition
Subsidiaries) pursuant to Section 6.02(c)(ii), the Borrower shall prepay the
outstanding principal amount of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(d) in
an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in
connection with such Disposition to the extent that the aggregate amount of Net
Cash Proceeds received by all Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries (other than
Non-Loan Party Permitted Acquisition Subsidiaries) (and not paid to the
Administrative Agent as a prepayment of the Loans) shall exceed for all such
Dispositions $300,000 in any Fiscal Year (provided that the aggregate amount of
Net Cash Proceeds not subject to prepayment pursuant to this clause (ii), when
taken together with the aggregate amount of Extraordinary Receipts not subject
to prepayment pursuant to clause (iv) below shall not exceed $1,500,000 in the
aggregate during the term of this Agreement). Nothing contained in this clause
(ii) shall permit any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to make a
Disposition of any property other than in accordance with Section 6.02(c)(ii).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing on the date such Person receives Net Cash Proceeds in
connection with a Disposition of equipment or inventory, such Net Cash Proceeds
(in an aggregate amount, when taken together with the aggregate amount of
Extraordinary Receipts reinvested in accordance with clause (iv) below, not to
exceed $1,500,000 in any Fiscal Year, and in any event, iii an aggregate amount
not to exceed $2,500,000 during the term of this Agreement) received by such
Person may, at the option of the Borrower, be applied to acquire replacement
equipment or inventory for the equipment or inventory so disposed of, provided,
that (x) until so applied, such Net Cash Proceeds shall either be (1) deposited
into a cash collateral account with a commercial bank designated by the
Collateral Agent (and when so deposited such Net Cash Proceeds shall constitute
Collateral for the Obligations then outstanding and shall remain in such cash
collateral account until such Net Cash Proceeds are applied in accordance with
either of clauses (y) or (z) of this clause (ii)) or (2) upon notification by
the Borrower to the Agents, applied to the Revolving Loans (and concurrently
with such application to the Revolving Loans, the Administrative Agent shall
establish and maintain a corresponding reserve to Availability in the amount so
applied, which reserve shall be released at such time as the Borrower re-borrows
funds in such amount to be used in accordance with either of clauses (y) or
(z)(2) of this clause (ii)), (y) such Net Cash Proceeds must be applied and such
equipment or inventory must be replaced within 120 days after the date of
receipt thereof, and (z) upon (1) the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Default or an Event of Default or (2) the
-37-
expiration of such 120-day period, such Net Cash Proceeds, if not so applied,
shall be applied to the prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section
2.05(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Disposition shall occur on or
prior to July 25,2006 and in connection therewith, the Borrower shall be
required to prepay the Loans from the Net Cash Proceeds received from such
Disposition in accordance with this clause (ii) and the Borrower shall not be
permitted to reinvest the Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with this clause (ii)
or does not reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within the applicable 120-day period
specified in this clause (ii), then an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds
received in connection with such Disposition shall be applied to the Revolving
Loans (but, if the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans at such
time is less than the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds, the amount of such Net
Cash Proceeds remaining after applying such Net Cash Proceeds to the Revolving
Loans shall be deposited into a cash collateral account with a commercial bank
designated by the Collateral Agent (and when so deposited such Net Cash Proceeds
shall constitute Collateral for the Obligations then outstanding)), and
concurrently with such application to the Revolving Loans (or deposit into a
cash collateral account), the Administrative Agent shall establish and maintain
a corresponding reserve to Availability in the amount so applied and/or
deposited, which (x) reserve and cash collateral shall be released and (y) such
amount shall be used to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(d), in
each case on July 25, 2006.
(iii) Within 1 Business Day of the issuance or incurrence by
any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Non-Loan Party Permitted
Acquisition Subsidiaries) of any Indebtedness (other than any Permitted
Indebtedness), the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Loans in
accordance with Section 2.05(d) in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash
Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this
subsection (iii) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance
or incurrence otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
(iv) Within 2 Business Days of the receipt by any Loan Party
or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Non-Loan Party Permitted Acquisition
Subsidiaries) of any Extraordinary Receipts in excess of $300,000 in any Fiscal
Year (provided that the aggregate amount of Extraordinary Receipts not subject
to prepayment pursuant to this clause (iv), when taken together with the
aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds not subject to prepayment pursuant to
clause (ii) above shall not exceed $1,500,000 in the aggregate during the term
of this Agreement), the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal of the
Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(d) in an amount equal to 100% of the Net
Cash Proceeds of such Extraordinary Receipts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so
long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the
date such Person receives Extraordinary Receipts consisting of insurance
proceeds from one or more policies covering, or proceeds from any judgment,
settlement, condemnation or other cause of action in respect of, the loss,
damage, taking or theft of any real property, equipment or inventory, such
Extraordinary Receipts (in an aggregate amount, when taken together with the
aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds reinvested in accordance with clause (ii)
above, not to exceed $1,500,000 in any Fiscal Year, and, in any event, in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $2,500,000 during the term of this Agreement)
received by such Person may, at the option of the Borrower, be applied to repair
or restore such real property, equipment or inventory or acquire replacement
real property, equipment or inventory for the real property, equipment or
inventory so lost, damaged or stolen or other real property, equipment or
inventory used or useful in the business of such Person for the real
-38-
property, equipment or inventory so lost, damaged or stolen, provided, that (x)
until so applied, such Extraordinary Receipts shall either be (1) deposited into
a cash collateral account with a commercial bank designated by the Collateral
Agent (and when so deposited such Extraordinary Receipts shall constitute
Collateral for the Obligations then outstanding and shall remain in such cash
collateral account until such Extraordinary Receipts are applied in accordance
with either of clauses (y) or (z) of this clause (iv)) or (2) upon notification
by the Borrower to the Agents, applied to the Revolving Loans (and concurrently
with such application to the Revolving Loans, the Administrative Agent shall
establish and maintain a corresponding reserve to Availability in the amount so
applied, which reserve shall be released at such time as the Borrower re-borrows
funds in such amount to be applied in accordance with either of clauses (y) or
(z)(2) of this clause (iv)), (y) such Extraordinary Receipts must be applied and
such real property, equipment or inventory must be repaired, restored or
replaced within 120 days after the date of receipt thereof, and (z) upon (1) the
occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or (2)
the expiration of such 120-day period, such Extraordinary Receipts, if not so
applied, shall be applied to the prepayment of the Loans in accordance with
Section 2.05(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries (other than Non-Loan Party Permitted Acquisition Subsidiaries)
receives any Extraordinary Receipts on or prior to July 25, 2006 and in
connection therewith, the Borrower shall be required to prepay the Loans from
the Net Cash Proceeds received from such Extraordinary Receipts in accordance
with this clause (iv) and the Borrower shall not be permitted to reinvest the
Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with this clause (iv) or does not reinvest such
Net Cash Proceeds within the applicable 120-day period specified in this clause
(iv), then an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds received in connection with
such Extraordinary Receipts shall be applied to the Revolving Loans (but, if the
outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans at such time is less than
the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds, the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds
remaining after applying such Net Cash Proceeds to the Revolving Loans shall be
deposited into a cash collateral account with a commercial bank designated by
the Collateral Agent (and when so deposited such Net Cash Proceeds shall
constitute Collateral for the Obligations then outstanding)), and concurrently
with such application to the Revolving Loans (or deposit into a cash collateral
account), the Administrative Agent shall establish and maintain a corresponding
reserve to Availability in the amount so applied and/or deposited, which (x)
reserve and cash collateral shall be released and (y) such amount shall be used
to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(d), in each case on July 25,
2006.
(d) Application of Payments. So long as no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, each prepayment pursuant to subsections
(c)(ii), (c)(iii) and (c)(iv) above shall be applied (i) first, to the Term
Loan, and (ii) second, to the Revolving Loans (together with a corresponding
reduction, on a dollar for dollar basis, of the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.05(d), after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
all prepayments of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(c) shall be applied in
accordance with Section 3.04(b).
(e) Interest and Fees. Any prepayment made pursuant to this
Section 2.05 shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest on the principal
amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment, and (ii) if such prepayment
would reduce the amount of the outstanding Loans to zero at a time when the
Total Revolving Credit Commitment has been terminated, the payment of all fees
accrued to such date pursuant to Section 2.06. Any prepayment made
-39-
pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii) or (iii) shall be accompanied by the Applicable
Prepayment Premium, if any.
(f) Cumulative Prepayments. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Section 2.05, payments with respect to any subsection of this
Section 2.05 are in addition to, but without duplication of, payments made or
required to be made under any other subsection of this Section 2.05.
(g) Waiver of Mandatory Prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in Section 2.05(c) or Section 2.05(d), (i) any Term Loan Lender
shall be permitted to waive its portion of any prepayment of the Term Loan
required to be made under Section 2.05(c) (the aggregate amount of any such
prepayment of the Term Loan that is so waived, the "Declined Prepayment
Amount"), and (ii) the Loan Parties shall be entitled to retain the entire
Declined Prepayment Amount.
Section 2.06 Fees.
(a) Unused Line Fee. From and after the Effective Date and until
the Final Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Revolving Loan Lenders, in accordance with their Pro Rata
Shares, an unused line fee (the "Unused Line Fee"), which shall accrue at the
rate equal to (i) during the period of time from and after the Effective Date up
to and including the date that is the 18-month anniversary of the Effective
Date, 0.10% per month times the excess, if any, of the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment over the sum of the average principal amount of all Revolving Loans
outstanding from time to time and (b) at all times thereafter, 0.15% per month
times the excess, if any, of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment over the sum
of the average principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding from time to
time. The Unused Line Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day
of each calendar month commencing on August 1, 2005.
(b) Fee Letter Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, as and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, the fees
set forth in the Fee Letter.
Section 2.07 Securitization. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that
the Lenders and their Affiliates may sell or securitize the Loans (a
"Securitization") through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for
loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or through the sale of the Loans or the
issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans, which loans to the
Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by
Xxxxx'x, Standard & Poor's or one or more other rating agencies (the "Rating
Agencies"). The Loan Parties shall cooperate with the Lenders and their
Affiliates to effect the Securitization including, without limitation, by (a)
amending this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and executing such
additional documents, as reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with
the Securitization, provided that (i) any such amendment or additional
documentation does not impose material additional costs on the Loan Parties and
(ii) any such amendment or additional documentation does not adversely affect
the rights (other than immaterial rights), or increase the obligations (other
than ministerial obligations), of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents or
change or affect in a manner adverse to the Loan Parties the financial terms of
the Loans,
-40-
(b) providing such information as may be reasonably requested by the Lenders in
connection with the rating of the Loans or the Securitization, and (c) providing
in connection with any rating of the Loans a certificate (i) agreeing to
indemnify the Agents, the Lenders and their Affiliates and their Related Funds,
any of the Rating Agencies, or any party providing credit support or otherwise
participating in the Securitization (collectively, the "Securitization
Parties"') for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the "Liabilities") to
which the Agents, the Lenders, their Affiliates, their Related Funds or such
Securitization Parties may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out
of or are based upon a violation of the representation set forth in Section 5.01
(p), and such indemnity shall survive any transfer by the Lenders or their
successors or assigns of the Loans and (ii) agreeing to reimburse the Agents,
the Lenders and their Affiliates and their Related Funds for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such Persons in connection with defending the
Liabilities.
Section 2.08 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by any Loan Party
hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all
present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings,
and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding franchise taxes of, and
taxes imposed on the net income of, any Agent or any Lender (or any transferee
or assignee thereof, including a participation holder (any such entity, a
"Transferee")) (i) by the jurisdiction in which such Person is organized or has
its principal lending office or any political subdivision thereof or (ii) by
reason of any present or former connection between such Agent or such Lender and
the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any
political subdivision thereof, other than such a connection arising in whole or
in part (and to the extent arising) from such Agent or such Lender having
executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or
enforced this Agreement or any other Loan Document (all such nonexcluded taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges withholdings and liabilities with respect
to payments by any Loan Party hereunder, collectively or individually, "Taxes").
If any Loan Party shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in
respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Agent or any Lender (or any
Transferee), (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an
"additional amount") necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
2.08) such Agent or such Lender (or such Transferee) shall receive an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii)
such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay
the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law.
(b) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any present or future
stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or
similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement
("Other Taxes"). Each Loan Party shall deliver to each Agent and each Lender
official receipts in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes payable hereunder
promptly after payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.
(c) The Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally indemnify and
agree to hold each Agent and each Lender harmless from and against Taxes and
Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on any
amounts payable under
-41-
this Section 2.08) paid by such Person, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be paid within 10
days from the date on which any such Person makes written demand therefor
specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other
Taxes.
(d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is organized under the laws
of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the
District of Columbia (a "Non- U.S. Lender") shall deliver to the Agents and the
Borrower two properly completed and duly executed copies of either U.S. Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or an applicable successor form, or,
in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal
withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to
payments of "portfolio interest", a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions
thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Non-U.S. Lender delivers a Form W-8,
a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes
of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, is not a 10-percent
shareholder (within the meaning of Sections 871(h)(3)(B) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the
Internal Revenue Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign
corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Sections 864(d)(4)
and 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code)) (such certificate, an "Exemption
Certificate"), in each case claiming complete exemption from U.S. Federal
withholding tax on payments by the Loan Parties under this Agreement. Such forms
shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a
party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation
holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a Transferee
hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its
applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a "New
Lending Office"). Each Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent in the event any such Exemption Certificate is no longer
accurate. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms within 20
days after receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrower or any Agent.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.08, a Non-U.S. Lender
shall not be required to deliver after the date hereof any form pursuant to this
Section 2.08 that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(e) The Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify any
Non-U.S. Lender, or pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in
respect of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to this Agreement to
the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United
States Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a
party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation
holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or,
with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender
designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided, however,
that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or
additional amounts any Transferee or any Lender (or Transferee) through a New
Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i))
do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the Person making
the assignment, participation or transfer to such Transferee or such Lender (or
Transferee) making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been
entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer
or designation, (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not
have arisen but for a failure by such Non- U.S. Lender to comply with the
provisions of clause (d) above, or (iii) any of the representations or
certifications made by a Non-U.S. Lender pursuant to clause (d) above are
incorrect at the
-42-
time a payment hereunder is made, other than by reason of any change in treaty,
law or regulation having effect after the date such representations or
certifications were made.
(f) Any Agent or any Lender (or Transferee) claiming any
indemnity payment or additional payment amounts payable pursuant to this Section
2.08 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory
restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in
writing by the Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending
office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or
reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amount which may
thereafter accrue, would not require such Agent or such Lender (or Transferee)
to disclose any information such Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) deems
confidential and would not, in the reasonable determination of such Agent or
such Lender (or Transferee), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Agent or such
Lender (or Transferee).
(g) If any Agent or any Lender (or any Transferee) receives a
refund of a tax for which a payment has been made by the Loan Parties pursuant
to this Agreement, which refund in the sole judgment of such Agent or such
Lender (or Transferee) is attributable to such payment made by the Loan Parties,
then such Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) shall reimburse the Loan Parties
for such amount. Nothing contained in this clause (g) shall require any Agent or
any Lender (or Transferee) to make available to any Loan Party or any other
Person any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be
confidential in its sole discretion).
(h) The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.08
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and
all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 2.09 LIBOR Option. (a) In lieu of having interest charged at
the rate based upon the Reference Rate, the Borrower shall have the option (the
"LIBOR Option") to have interest on all or a portion of the Loans be charged at
a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall
be payable in accordance with Section 2.04(d). On the last day of each
applicable Interest Period, unless the Borrower properly has exercised the LIBOR
Option with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.09(b), the interest rate
applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of
interest then applicable to Reference Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At
any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower
no longer shall have the option to request that Loans bear interest at the LIBOR
Rate.
(b) (i) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise
the LIBOR Option by notifying Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York
time) at least 3 Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed
Interest Period (the "LIBOR Deadline"). Notice of the Borrower's election of the
LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Loans and an Interest Period
pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to the Administrative Agent
of a LIBOR Notice received by the Administrative Agent before the LIBOR
Deadline, or by telephonic notice received by the Administrative Agent before
the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a
LIBOR Notice received by
-43-
Administrative Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the same day).
Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice (but in any event on the
same day as the Administrative Agent receives such LIBOR Notice), the
Administrative Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the Lenders having
a Revolving Credit Commitment.
(ii) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on
the Borrower. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall
indemnify, defend, and hold the Agents and the Lenders harmless against any
loss, cost, or expense incurred by any Agent or any Lender as a result of (A)
the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day
of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default), (B) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (C) the failure to borrow,
convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any
LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, and expenses,
collectively, "Funding Losses"). Funding Losses shall, with respect to any Agent
or any Lender, be deemed to equal the amount determined by such Agent or such
Lender to be the excess, if any, of (1) the amount of interest that would have
accrued on the principal amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan had such event not
occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable thereto, 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 therefor), minus (2) the
amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at
the interest rate which such Agent or such Lender would be offered were it to be
offered, at the commencement of such period, Dollar deposits of a comparable
amount and period in the London interbank market. A certificate of an Agent or a
Lender delivered to the Borrower setting forth any amount or amounts that such
Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iii) The Borrower shall have not more than five (5) LIBOR
Rate Loans in effect at any given time. The Borrower only may exercise the LIBOR
Option for LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $500,000 and integral multiples of
$100,000 in excess thereof.
(c) The Borrower may prepay LIBOR Rate Loans at any time;
provided, however, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Loans are prepaid on any
date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto,
including as a result of any automatic prepayment through the required
application by the Administrative Agent of proceeds of Collateral in accordance
with Section 3.04 or for any other reason, including early termination of the
term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations
pursuant to the terms hereof, the Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold the
Agents and the Lenders and their participants harmless against any and all
Funding Losses in accordance with clause (b) above.
(d) (i) The LIBOR Rate shall be adjusted by the Administrative
Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any
additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any
eurodollar deposits or increased costs due to changes in applicable law
occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period,
including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in
corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by
the Board,
-44-
excluding the Reserve Percentage, which additional or increased costs would
increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any
such event, the affected Lender shall give the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and the Administrative Agent
promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of
the notice from the affected Lender, the Borrower may, by notice to such
affected Lender (A) require such Lender to furnish to the Borrower a statement
setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for
determining the amount of such adjustment, or (B) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans
with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due
under clause (b)(ii) above).
(ii) In the event that any change in market conditions or
any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the
interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof,
in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for
such Lender to rand or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or
maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such
Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the
notice to each other Lender and (A) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such
Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender's notice shall be
deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and
interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue
interest at the rate then applicable to Loans that are Reference Rate Loans, and
(B) the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such
Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so.
(e) Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding,
neither any Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their participants, is required
actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any
Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate. The provisions of
this Section shall apply as if each Lender or its participants had match funded
any Obligation as to which interest is accruing at the LIBOR Rate by acquiring
eurodollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the LIBOR Rate
Loans.
ARTICLE III
FEES, PAYMENTS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
Section 3.01 Audit and Collateral Monitoring Fees. The Borrower
acknowledges that pursuant to Section 6.01 (f), representatives of the Agents
may visit any or all of the Loan Parties and/or conduct audits, inspections,
appraisals, valuations and/or field examinations of any or all of the Loan
Parties or the Collateral at any time and from time to time in a manner so as to
not unduly disrupt the business of the Loan Parties. The Borrower agrees to pay
(i) $1,500 per day per examiner plus the examiner's reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with all such visits,
audits, inspections, appraisals, valuations and field examinations and (ii) the
actual reasonable out-of-pocket cost of all visits, audits, inspections,
appraisals, valuations and field examinations conducted by a third party on
behalf of any Agent.
-45-
Section 3.02 Payments; Computations and Statements. (a) The Borrower
will make each payment under the Loan Documents not later than 12:00 noon (New
York City time) on the day when due, in lawful money of the United States of
America and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent's
Account. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon (New
York City time) on any Business Day will be credited to the Loan Account on the
next succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be made by the Borrower without
set-off, counterclaim, deduction or other defense to the Agents and the Lenders.
Except as provided in Section 2.02, after receipt, the Administrative Agent will
promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment
of principal ratably to the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and
like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Agent or
Lender to such Agent or Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Administrative Agent will cause
to be distributed all interest and fees received from or for the account of the
Borrower not less than once each month and in any event promptly after receipt
thereof. The Lenders and the Borrower hereby authorize the Administrative Agent
to, and the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, charge the Loan Account
of the Borrower with any amount due and payable by the Loan Parties under any
Loan Document. Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agrees that the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to make such charges whether or not
any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or whether
any of the conditions precedent in Section 4.02 have been satisfied. Any amount
charged to the Loan Account of the Borrower shall be deemed a Revolving Loan
hereunder made by the Revolving Loan Lenders to the Borrower, funded by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders and subject to
Section 2.02 of this Agreement. The Lenders and the Borrower confirm that any
charges which the Administrative Agent may so make to the Loan Account of the
Borrower as herein provided will be made as an accommodation to the Borrower and
solely at the Administrative Agent's discretion. Whenever any payment to be made
under any such Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and
such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of
interest or fees, as the case may be. All computations of fees under the Loan
Documents shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of
days elapsed. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of any interest
rate or fees hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the
absence of manifest error.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower, promptly
upon the request of the Borrower after the end of any calendar month, a summary
statement (in the form from time to time used by the Administrative Agent) of
the opening and closing daily balances in the Loan Account of the Borrower
during such month, the amounts and dates of all Loans made to the Borrower
during such month, the amounts and dates of all payments on account of the Loans
to the Borrower during such month and the Loans to which such payments were
applied, the amount of interest accrued on the Loans to the Borrower during such
month (and indicating whether such Loans are Reference Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate
Loans), and the amount and nature of any charges to the Loan Account made during
such month on account of fees, commissions, expenses and other Obligations. All
entries on any such statement shall be presumed to be correct and, thirty (30)
days after the same is sent, shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error
or objection by the Borrower prior to such date.
-46-
Section 3.03 Sharing of Payments, Etc. Except as provided in Section
2.02 hereof, if any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary,
involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on
account of any Obligation in excess of its ratable share of payments on account
of similar obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith
purchase from the other Lenders such participations in such similar obligations
held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the
excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any
portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall
repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery
together with an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender's required repayment to (ii) the
total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender of any interest or other
amount paid by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so
recovered). The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation
from another Lender pursuant to this Section 3.03 may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all of its rights (including the Lender's right of
set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the
direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 3.04 Apportionment of Payments. Subject to Section 2.02 hereof
and to any written agreements among the Agents and/or the Lenders:
(a) All payments of principal and interest in respect of
outstanding Loans, all payments of fees (other than the fees set forth in
Section 2.06 hereof, and the audit and collateral monitoring fee provided for in
Section 3.01) and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, shall
be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such of the Lenders as are
entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise
as provided herein or, in respect of payments not made on account of Loans, as
designated by the Person making payment when the payment is made.
(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required
Lenders shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all proceeds
of the Collateral, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (i) first,
ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements,
indemnities and other amounts then due to the Agents, until paid in full; (ii)
second, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees and indemnities
then due to the Lenders, until paid in full; (iii) third, to pay interest due in
respect of Collateral Agent Advances, until paid in full; (iv) fourth, ratably
to pay interest due in respect of the Loans, until paid in full; (v) fifth, to
pay principal of Collateral Agent Advances, until paid in full; (vi) sixth,
ratably to pay principal of the Loans, until paid in full; and (vii) seventh, to
the ratable payment of all other Obligations then due and payable.
(c) In each instance, so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, Section 3.04(b) shall not be deemed to apply to any payment
by the Borrower specified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to be for
the payment of Term Loan Obligations then due and payable under any provision of
this Agreement or the prepayment of all or part of the principal of the Term
Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.05.
-47-
(d) For purposes of Section 3.04(b), "paid in full" means payment
of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to the terms thereof,
including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically
including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding),
default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, in each
case, whether or not the same would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or
in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.
(e) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority
provisions of this Section 3.04 and other provisions contained in any other Loan
Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that both such priority
provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the
fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any
actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms
and provisions of this Section 3.04 shall control and govern.
Section 3.05 Increased Costs and Reduced Return. (a) If any Lender or
any Agent shall have determined that, after the Effective Date, the adoption or
implementation of, or any change in, any law, rule, treaty or regulation, or any
policy, guideline or directive of, or any change in, the interpretation or
administration thereof by, any court, central bank or other administrative or
Governmental Authority, or compliance by any Lender or any Agent or any Person
controlling any such Lender or any such Agent with any directive of, or
guideline from, any central bank or other Governmental Authority or the
introduction of, or change in, any accounting principles applicable to any
Lender or any Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or any such Agent
(in each case, whether or not having the force of law) (each, a "Change in
Law"), shall (i) subject such Lender or such Agent, or any Person controlling
such Lender or such Agent to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any
LIBOR Rate Loan made by such Lender or such Agent, or change the basis of
taxation of payments to such Lender or such Agent or any Person controlling such
Lender or such Agent of any amounts payable hereunder in respect of LIBOR Rate
Loans (except for taxes on the overall net income of such Lender or such Agent
or any Person controlling such Lender or such Agent), (ii) impose, modify or
deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (other than
the Reserve Percentage) against any LIBOR Rate Loan or against assets of or held
by, or deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, such Lender
or such Agent or any Person controlling such Lender or such Agent or (iii)
impose on such Lender or such Agent or any Person controlling such Lender or
such Agent any other condition regarding any LIBOR Rate Loan, and the result of
any event referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to increase
the cost to such Lender or such Agent of making any LIBOR Rate Loan, or agreeing
to make any Loan, or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender
or such Agent hereunder in respect of LIBOR Rate Loans, then, within 15 days of
written demand by such Lender or such Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such
Lender or such Agent such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or
such Agent for such increased costs or reductions in amount.
(b) If any Lender or any Agent shall have determined that any
Change in Law after the Effective Date either (i) affects or would affect the
amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such
Agent or any Person controlling such Lender or such Agent, and such Lender or
such Agent determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a direct
or indirect consequence of any Loans made or maintained, such Lender's or such
Agent's or such other controlling Person's other obligations hereunder, or (ii)
has or would
-48-
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such Agent's
or such other controlling Person's capital to a level below that which such
Lender or such Agent or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such
circumstances as a consequence of any Loans made or maintained, or any agreement
to make Loans, or such Lender's or such Agent's or such other controlling
Person's other obligations hereunder (in each case, taking into consideration,
such Lender's or such Agent's or such other controlling Person's policies with
respect to capital adequacy), then, within 15 days of written demand by such
Lender or such Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Agent from
time to time such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
Agent for such cost of maintaining such increased capital or such reduction in
the rate of return on such Lender's or such Agent's or such other controlling
Person's capital.
(c) All amounts payable under this Section 3.05 shall bear
interest from the date that is 15 days after the date of written demand by any
Lender or any Agent until payment in full to such Lender or such Agent at the
Reference Rate. A certificate of such Lender or such Agent claiming compensation
under this Section 3.05, specifying the event herein above described and the
nature of such event shall be submitted by such Lender or such Agent to the
Borrower, setting forth the additional amount due and an explanation of the
calculation thereof, and such Lender's or such Agent's reasons for invoking the
provisions of this Section 3.05, and shall be final and conclusive absent
manifest error.
(d) The Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Agent or
any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.05 for any increased costs or reductions
incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Agent or such Lender
notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs
or reductions and of such Agent's or such Lender's intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred
to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
ARTICLE IV
CONDITIONS TO LOANS

been delivered to the Collateral Agent prior to the Effective Date. Schedule

termination date, renewal options (if any) and annual base rents. Each such
Lease is valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms in all material
respects and is in full force and effect (except to the extent that any such
Lease is terminated by a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries upon a
determination by such Person in its reasonable business judgment that such Lease
is no longer material and useful to the conduct of the business of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole). No consent or approval of any landlord
or other third party in connection with any such Lease is necessary for any Loan
Party to enter into and execute the Loan Documents or the aaiPharma Acquisition
Documents to which it is a party, except as set forth on Schedule 5.01(o). To
the best knowledge of any Loan Party, no other party to any such Lease is in
default of its obligations thereunder, and no Loan Party (or any other party to
any such Lease) has at any time delivered or received any notice of default

the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a default
under any such Lease.
(p) Full Disclosure. Each Loan Party has disclosed to the Agents

reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or
on behalf of any Loan Party to the Agents or the Lenders in connection with the
negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or
supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material
misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which it was made,
not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information,
each Loan Party represents only that such information was prepared in good faith
based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time prepared. There is
no contingent liability or fact that may have a Material Adverse Effect which
has not been set forth in a footnote included in the Financial Statements or a

have a Material Adverse Effect; and (viii) no Loan Party has received any

(and upon written notice to the Collateral Agent, in the case of the Borrower,

quarter multiplied by four (4). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
the Loan to Value Ratio is greater than 40% at the end of any fiscal quarter
(and the Annualized Demand Revenues for such fiscal quarter are less than 95% of
the quarterly revenue projections delivered to the Collateral Agent on or prior
to the Effective Date for such fiscal quarter multiplied by four (4), then if
the Borrower shall, within 10 days of the date on which the Borrower delivered
the certificate of an Authorized Officer thereof to the Collateral Agent and
each Lender pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(iv) for such fiscal quarter (or within
10 days of the date on which the Borrower was required to deliver such
certificate, whichever is earlier), provide the Collateral Agent with evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (which may include a non-binding

"Financial Covenant Cure Payment"), then the Borrower shall have 30 days from
the end of such fiscal quarter to cure such covenant violation by making a
Financial Covenant Cure Paymnent.

Parties, or as proceeds of any other Collateral, shall be held by the Loan
Parties in trust for the Agents and the Lenders and upon receipt be deposited by
the Loan Parties in original form and no later than the next Business Day after

received in the Cash Management Account shall be sent by wire transfer or
Automated Clearing House, Inc. payment to the Administrative Agent's Account for
application at the end of each Business Day to reduce the then outstanding

Debtors or third parties holding or otherwise concerned with any of the
Collateral, and thereafter the Collateral Agent or its designee shall have the
sole right to collect the Accounts Receivable and/or take possession of the
Collateral and the books and records relating thereto. The Loan Parties shall
not, without prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, grant any extension
of time of payment of any Account Receivable, compromise or settle any Account
Receivable for less than the full amount thereof, release, in whole or in part,
any Person or property liable for the payment thereof, or allow any credit or
discount whatsoever thereon, except, in the absence of a continuing Event of

designee on behalf of the Collateral Agent as the Loan Parties' attorney-in-fact

not be liable for any acts of omission or commission (other than acts of
omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as
determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), or for any
error of judgment or mistake of fact or law not constituting gross negligence or
willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction; this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until all
of the Loans and other Obligations under the Loan Documents are paid in full and
all of the Loan Documents are terminated.
(d) Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute any
Agent as agent of any Loan Party for any purpose whatsoever, and the Agents
shall not be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss
or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be located
and regardless of the cause thereof (other than from acts of omission or
commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by
a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Agents shall not,
under any circumstance or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any
error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection
or payment of any of the Accounts Receivable or any instrument received in
payment thereof or for any damage resulting therefrom (other than acts of
omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as
determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The
Agents, by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, do not assume any
of the obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to any Agent and
shall not be responsible in any way for the performance by any Loan Party of any
of the terms and conditions thereof.
(e) If any Account Receivable includes a charge for any tax
payable to any Governmental Authority, each Agent is hereby authorized (but in
no event obligated) in its discretion to pay the amount thereof to the proper
taxing authority for the Loan Parties' account and to charge the Loan Parties
therefor. The Loan Parties shall notify the Agents if any Account Receivable
includes any taxes due to any such Governmental Authority and, in the absence of
such notice, the Agents shall have the right to apply the full proceeds of such
Account Receivable and shall not be liable for any taxes that may be due by
reason of the sale and delivery creating such Account Receivable.
(f) Notwithstanding any other terms set forth in the Loan
Documents, the rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders herein
provided, and the obligations of the Loan Parties set forth herein, are
cumulative of, may be exercised singly or concurrently with,
-88-
and are not exclusive of, any other rights, remedies or obligations set forth in
any other Loan Document or as provided by law.
Section 7.02 Accounts Receivable Documentation. The Loan Parties will
at such intervals as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require, furnish such
schedules and/or information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require
relating to the Accounts Receivable. In addition, the Loan Parties shall notify
the Agents of any non-compliance in respect of the representations, warranties
and covenants contained in Section 7.03. The items to be provided under this
Section 7.02 are to be in form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent
and are to be executed and delivered to the Agents from time to time solely for
their convenience in maintaining records of the Collateral. The Loan Parties'
failure to give any of such items to the Agents shall not affect, terminate,
modify or otherwise limit the Collateral Agent's Lien on the Collateral. The
Loan Parties shall not re-date any invoice or sale or make sales on extended
dating beyond that customary in the Loan Parties' industry, and shall not
re-xxxx any Accounts Receivable, except in the ordinary course of business,
without promptly disclosing the same to the Agents and providing the Agents with
a copy of such re-billing, identifying the same as such. If the Loan Parties
become aware of anything materially detrimental to any of the Loan Parties'
material customers' credit, the Loan Parties will promptly advise the Agents
thereof.
Section 7.03 Status of Accounts Receivable and Other Collateral. With
respect to Collateral of any Loan Party at the time the Collateral becomes
subject to the Collateral Agent's Lien, each Loan Party covenants, represents
and warrants: (a) such Loan Party shall be the sole owner, free and clear of all
Liens (except for Permitted Liens), and shall be fully authorized to sell,
transfer, pledge and/or grant a security interest in each and every item of said
Collateral; (b) each Account Receivable with an invoice amount in excess of
$100,000 shall be a good and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness
incurred or an amount owed by the Account Debtor therein named; (c) no Account
Receivable shall be subject to any discount or allowance except as may be stated
in the invoice relating thereto, discounts and allowances as may be customary in
such Loan Party's business and as otherwise disclosed to the Agents; (d) none of
the transactions underlying or giving rise to any Account Receivable shall
violate any applicable state or federal laws or regulations, and all documents
relating thereto shall be legally sufficient under such laws or regulations and
shall be legally enforceable in accordance with their terms; (e) no agreement
under which any deduction or offset of any kind, other than normal trade
discounts, may be granted or shall have been made by such Loan Party at or
before the time such Account Receivable is created; (f) all agreements,
instruments and other documents relating to any Account Receivable shall be true
and correct and in all material respects what they purport to be; (g) such Loan
Party shall maintain books and records pertaining to said Collateral in such
detail, form and scope as the Agents shall reasonably require; (h) such Loan
Party shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent if any Account Receivable with
an invoice amount in excess of $100,000 arises out of contracts with any
Governmental Authority, and will execute any instruments and take any steps
required by the Collateral Agent in order that all monies due or to become due
under any such contract shall be assigned to the Collateral Agent and notice
thereof given to such Governmental Authority under the Federal Assignment of
Claims Act or any similar state or local law; (i) such Loan Party will,
immediately upon learning thereof, report to the Agents any material loss or
destruction of, or substantial damage to, any of the Collateral, and any other
matters affecting the value, enforceability or collectibility of any of the
Collateral with a value in excess of $100,000; (j) if any amount payable under
or in connection with any
-89-
Account Receivable with an invoice amount in excess of $100,000 is evidenced by
a promissory note or other instrument, such promissory note or instrument shall
be immediately pledged, endorsed, assigned and delivered to the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders as additional Collateral; (k) such
Loan Party shall conduct a physical count of its Inventory at such intervals as
any Agent reasonably may request (but, absent an Event of Default, not more than
2 times in any 12 month period during the term of this Agreement) and such Loan
Party shall promptly supply the Agents with a copy of such count accompanied by
a report of the value (based on the lower of cost (on a first in first out
basis) and market value) of such Inventory; and (1) such Loan Party is not and
shall not be entitled to pledge any Agent's or any Lender's credit on any
purchases or for any purpose whatsoever.
Section 7.04 Collateral Custodian. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the Collateral Agent or its
designee may at any time and from time to time employ and maintain on the
premises of any Loan Party a custodian selected by the Collateral Agent or its
designee who shall have full authority to do all acts as are reasonably
necessary to protect the Agents' and the Lenders' interests. Each Loan Party
hereby agrees to, and to cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with any such
custodian and to comply with any reasonable request of the Collateral Agent or
its designee in order to preserve the Collateral. All costs and expenses
incurred by the Collateral Agent or its designee by reason of the employment of
the custodian shall be the responsibility of the Borrower and charged to the
Loan Account.

inadvertent failure to distribute any such notices or agreements to the Lenders;
(iii) to maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers
and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Loans, and related
matters and to maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices,
ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Collateral and related matters;

with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (v) to make the Loans
and, in the case of the Collateral Agent, Collateral Agent Advances, for such
Agent or on behalf of the applicable Lenders as provided in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document; (vi) to perform, exercise, and enforce any and all
other rights and remedies of the Lenders with respect to the Loan Parties, the

incidental to the exercise by such Agent of the rights and remedies specifically
authorized to be exercised by such Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document; (vii) to incur and pay such fees necessary or appropriate

delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, the power to give or to refuse to give notices,
waivers, consents, approvals and instructions and the power to make or to refuse

action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be
fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of
the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders shall be

-95-
Section 9.02 Nature of Duties. The Agents shall have no duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the
other Loan Documents. The duties of the Agents shall be mechanical and
administrative in nature. The Agents shall not have by reason of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender.
Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, is
intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Agents any obligations in
respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set
forth herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent
investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties in
connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans hereunder and shall
make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and the value
of the Collateral, and the Agents shall have no duty or responsibility, either
initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or
other information with respect thereto, whether coming into their possession
before the initial Loan hereunder or at any time or times thereafter, provided
that, upon the reasonable request of a Lender, each Agent shall provide to such
Lender any documents or reports delivered to such Agent by the Loan Parties
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If any Agent
seeks the consent or approval of the Required Lenders to the taking or
refraining from taking any action hereunder, such Agent shall send notice
thereof to each Lender. Each Agent shall promptly notify each Lender any time
that the Required Lenders have instructed such Agent to act or refrain from
acting pursuant hereto.
Section 9.03 Rights, Exculpation, Etc. No Agent-Related Person shall
be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them under or in
connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for their own
gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Agent-Related Persons (i) may treat the payee of any Loan as the
owner thereof until the Collateral Agent receives written notice of the
assignment or transfer thereof, pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof, signed by such
payee and in form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent; (ii) may consult with
legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any Agent or counsel to
the Loan Parties), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by
any of them and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken
in good faith by any of them in accordance with the advice of such counsel or
experts; (iii) make no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be
responsible to any Lender for any statements, certificates, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the
performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Person, the existence
or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the
Collateral or other property (including, without limitation, the books and
records) of any Person; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi) shall not be deemed to
have made any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or
collectibility of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the
Collateral Agent's Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party
in connection therewith, nor shall the Agents be responsible or liable to the
Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
The Agent-Related Persons shall not be liable for any apportionment or
distribution of payments made in good faith
-96-
pursuant to Section 3.04, and if any such apportionment or distribution is
subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any
Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other
Lenders any payment in excess of the amount which they are determined to be
entitled. The Agent-Related Persons may at any time request instructions from
the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this
Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents the Agent-Related Persons are
permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly
requested, the Agent-Related Persons shall be absolutely entitled to refrain
from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the Loan
Documents until they shall have received such instructions from the Required
Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of
action whatsoever against any Agent-Related Person as a result of such
Agent-Related Person acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the
Required Lenders.
Section 9.04 Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any
written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any
telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all
matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and its
duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.
Section 9.05 Indemnification. To the extent that any Agent-Related
Person is not reimbursed and indemnified by any Loan Party, the Lenders will
reimburse and indemnify such Agent-Related Person from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses, advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent-Related
Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent-Related Person
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to each
Lender's Pro Rata Share, including, without limitation, advances and
disbursements made pursuant to Section 9.08; provided, however, that no Lender
shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or
disbursements for which there has been a final judicial determination that such
liability resulted from such Agent-Related Person's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 9.05 shall survive
the payment in full of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 9.06 Agents Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share
of the Total Commitment hereunder and the Loans made by it, each Agent shall
have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the
same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any
other Lender or maker of a Loan. The terms "Lenders" or "Required Lenders" or
any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include
each Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Required
Lenders. Each Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to,
and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the
Borrower as if it were not acting as an Agent pursuant hereto without any duty
to account to the other Lenders.

Section 9.07 Successor Agent. (a) Each Agent may resign from the
performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days' prior
written notice to the Borrower and each Lender. Such resignation shall take
effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to
clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.
(b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders
shall appoint a successor Agent; provided, that, so long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, if such successor Agent is not the other
Agent hereunder (or any of its Affiliates or Related Funds), such appointment
shall be made with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. After any Agent's resignation hereunder as an Agent, the provisions
of this ARTICLE IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
(c) If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within
said thirty (30) Business Day period, the retiring Agent, with the consent of
the other Agent shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as an Agent
until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, with the consent of the other
Agent, appoint a successor Agent as provided above; provided, that, so long as
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if such successor
Agent is not the other Agent hereunder (or any of its Affiliates or Related
Funds), such appointment shall be made with the consent of the Borrower (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).
(d) In the case of the resignation of the Administrative Agent
from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents, if no successor Administrative Agent accepts appointment
as Administrative Agent within said thirty (30) Business Day period, the
retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become
effective and the Collateral Agent shall perform all of the duties of the
Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as a successor
Administrative Agent is appointed in accordance with this Section 9.07.
Section 9.08 Collateral Matters.
(a) The Collateral Agent may from time to time make such
disbursements and advances ("Collateral Agent Advances") which the Collateral
Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable to
preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the Collateral or any
portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment
by the Borrower of the Loans and other Obligations or to pay any other amount
chargeable to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including,
without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 11.04. The
Collateral Agent Advances shall bear interest at the maximum rate set forth in
this Agreement and shall be repayable on demand and be secured by the
Collateral. The Collateral Agent Advances shall
-98-
constitute Obligations hereunder which may be charged to the Loan Account in
accordance with Section 3.02. The Collateral Agent shall notify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Borrower in writing of each such
Collateral Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the
purpose of such Collateral Agent Advance. Without limitation to its obligations
pursuant to Section 9.05, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to the
Collateral Agent, upon the Collateral Agent's demand, in Dollars in immediately
available funds, the amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of each such
Collateral Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to the Collateral
Agent by such Lender, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to recover such
funds on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day
from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the
Collateral Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for three Business Days and
thereafter at the Reference Rate.
(b) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral
Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or
held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral upon termination of the Total
Commitment and payment and satisfaction of all Loans and all other Obligations
which have matured; or constituting property being sold or disposed of in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; or
constituting property in which the Loan Parties owned no interest at the time
the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (subject to Section 11.02) if
approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; or to
subordinate any Lien on any property granted to the Collateral Agent to the
holder of any Lien on such property permitted by clauses (e) or (h) of the
definition of Permitted Liens. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time,
the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent's authority to release
particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.08(b).
(c) Without in any manner limiting the Collateral Agent's
authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the
Lenders (as set forth in Section 9.08(b)), each Lender agrees to confirm in
writing, upon request by the Collateral Agent, the authority to release
Collateral conferred upon the Collateral Agent under Section 9.08(b). Upon
receipt by the Collateral Agent of confirmation from the Lenders of its
authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon prior
written request by any Loan Party, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby
irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be
necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders upon such Collateral; provided,
however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such
document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent's reasonable business judgment,
would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligations or
entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or
warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or
impair the Obligations or any Lien upon (or obligations of any Loan Party in
respect of) all interests in the Collateral retained by any Loan Party.
(d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to
the Administrative Agent or to any Lender to assure that the Collateral exists
or is owned by the Loan Parties or is cared for, protected or insured or has
been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document has been properly or sufficiently or
lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is entitled to any
-99-
particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under
any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the
rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in
this Section 9.08 or in any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed
that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related
thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in
its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent's own interest in the Collateral
as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or
liability whatsoever to any other Lender, except as otherwise provided herein.
Section 9.09 Agency for Perfection. Each Agent and each Lender hereby
appoints each other Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the
purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in
assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, can
be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a
secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest
of another secured party) and each Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges
that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the
benefit of the Agents and the Lenders as secured party. Should the
Administrative Agent or any Lender obtain possession or control of any such
Collateral, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify the Collateral
Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent's request therefor shall
deliver possession or control of such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or in
accordance with the Collateral Agent's instructions. In addition, the Collateral
Agent shall also have the power and authority hereunder to appoint such other
sub-agents as may be necessary or required under applicable state law or
otherwise to perform its duties and enforce its rights with respect to the
Collateral and under the Loan Documents. Each Loan Party by its execution and
delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.
Section 9.10 Collateral Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent (irrespective of
whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
Collateral Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled
and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the
principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Agents and the Lenders
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Agents and the Lenders and their respective agents and
counsel and all other amounts due the Agents and the Lenders under Section 2.06
and Section 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable
or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian,
receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by the Administrative Agent
and each Lender
-100-
to make such payments to the Collateral Agent and, in the event that the
Collateral Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, to pay to the Collateral Agent any amount
due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Collateral Agent under Section 2.06 and Section 11.04.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Collateral Agent to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of the Administrative Agent
or any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Obligations or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender or to authorize the Collateral Agent to vote in respect of the claim of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender in any such proceeding.
Section 9.11 Agents and their Affiliates and their Designated
Entities. With respect to the Loans of SPCP Group IIII LLC, SPF CDO I, LLC,
Field Point I, LTD, Broad Point I, LLC, and SPCP Group, L.L.C. (each a
"Designated Entity" and collectively, the "Designated Entities") hereunder,
Silver Point, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not an Agent; and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated, include each Designated Entity in its individual capacity.
Silver Point, the Designated Entities and their Affiliates may lend money to,
invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party,
any of their Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own
securities of any Loan Party or any such Affiliate, all as if Silver Point was
not an Agent and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. Silver Point,
the Designated Entities and their Affiliates may accept fees and other
consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement
or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.
ARTICLE X
GUARANTY
Section 10.01 Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally
and unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due,
whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of
the Borrower now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, whether for
principal, interest, fees, commissions, expense reimbursements, indemnifications
or otherwise (including, without limitation, all interest, fees, expense
reimbursements and other amounts that accrue after the commencement of an
Insolvency Proceeding of the Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing
interest, fees, expense reimbursements or such other amounts are allowed in such
Insolvency Proceeding) (such obligations, to the extent not paid by the
Borrower, being the "Guaranteed Obligations"), and agrees to pay any and all
expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Agents
and the Lenders in enforcing any rights under the guaranty set forth in this
ARTICLE X. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor's
liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed
Obligations and would be owed by the Borrower to the Agents and the Lenders
under any Loan Document but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not
allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency Proceeding involving the
Borrower.
-101-
Section 10.02 Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor jointly and severally
guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order
now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or
the rights of the Agents or the Lenders with respect thereto. Each Guarantor
agrees that this ARTICLE X constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of
collection and waives any right to require that any resort be made by any Agent
or any Lender to any Collateral. The obligations of each Guarantor under this
ARTICLE X are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action
or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce such
obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Loan
Party or whether any Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The
liability of each Guarantor under this ARTICLE X shall be irrevocable, absolute
and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives
any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of
the following:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document
or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in
any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document,
including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations
resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or
otherwise;
(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any
Collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(d) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right
that any Guarantor may have at any time against any Person, including, without
limitation, any Agent, or any Lender;
(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate,
limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Loan
Party; or
(f) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any
statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by
the Agents or the Lenders that might otherwise constitute a defense available
to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety, other
than, subject to Section 11.14, the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all
of the Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations after the termination of the
Total Commitment.
This ARTICLE X shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded
or must otherwise be returned by the Agents, the Lenders or any other Person,
all as though such payment had not been made.
Section 10.03 Waiver. Each Guarantor hereby waives (i) promptness and
diligence, (ii) notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of
the Guaranteed
-102-
Obligations and this ARTICLE X and any requirement that the Agents or the
Lenders exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party, any other
Person or any Collateral, (iii) any right to compel or direct any Agent or any
Lender to seek payment or recovery of any amounts owed under this ARTICLE X from
any one particular fund or source or to exhaust any right or take any action
against any other Loan Party, any other Person or any Collateral, (iv) any
requirement that any Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any
security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right
to take any action against any Loan Party, any other Person or any Collateral,
and (v) any other defense available to any Guarantor, other than, subject to
Section 11.14, the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the
Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations after the termination of the Total
Commitment. Each Guarantor agrees that the Agents and the Lenders shall have no
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor or against, or in
payment of, any or all of the Obligations. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it
will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements
contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in this Section 10.03 is
knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. Each Guarantor hereby waives
any right to revoke this ARTICLE X, and acknowledges that this ARTICLE X is
continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing
now or in the future.
Section 10.04 Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This ARTICLE X is a
continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the
later of the cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than
indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made) and all other
amounts payable under this ARTICLE X and the termination of the Total
Commitment, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and
(c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Agents and the Lenders and
their successors, pledgees, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may pledge, assign or
otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments
or its Loans) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become
vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted such Lender herein or
otherwise, in each case as provided in Section 11.07.
Section 10.05 Subrogation. No Guarantor will exercise any rights that
it may now or hereafter acquire against any Loan Party or any other guarantor
that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such
Guarantor's obligations under this ARTICLE X, including, without limitation, any
right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or
indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the
Agents and the Lenders against any Loan Party or any other guarantor or any
Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under
contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to
take or receive from any Loan Party or any other guarantor, directly or
indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner,
payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and
until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this
ARTICLE X shall have been paid in full in cash and the Total Commitment shall
have been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation
of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of the
payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts
payable under this ARTICLE X and the termination of the Total Commitment, such
amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and
shall forthwith be paid to the
-103-
Agents and the Lenders to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations
and all other amounts payable under this ARTICLE X, whether matured or
unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as
Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this
ARTICLE X thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to the
Agents and the Lenders of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii)
all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this
ARTICLE X shall be paid in full in cash and (iii) the termination of the Total
Commitment shall have occurred, the Agents and the Lenders will, at such
Guarantor's request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor
appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty,
necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an
interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by such
Guarantor.

under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
Section 11.03 No Waiver; Remedies, Etc. No failure on the part of any
Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder

irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender shall have made any
demand. Each Agent and each Lender agrees to notify such Loan Party promptly
after any such set-off and application made by such Agent or such Lender
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such set-off and application. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under

other rights of set-off) which the Agents and the Lenders may have under this

enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 11.07 Assignments and Participations.
(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party and each Agent and each Lender

Loan Parties may assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder without the
prior written consent of each Lender and any such assignment without the
Lenders' prior written consent shall be null and void.

apply to an assignment by a Lender to (x) an Affiliate of such Lender or a
Related Fund of such Lender or (y) a group of new Lenders, each of whom is an
Affiliate or Related Fund of each other to the extent the aggregate amount to be
assigned to all such new Lenders is at least $3,000,000 or a multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof), (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, for its acceptance, an
-107-
Assignment and Acceptance, together with any promissory note subject to such
assignment and such parties shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a processing
and recordation fee of $3,000 (except the payment of such fee shall not be
required in connection with an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such
Lender or Related Fund of such Lender), (iii) except as provided in Section
11.07(b), (iv), any such assignment shall be made with the written consent of,
and prior notice to, (x) the Collateral Agent, and (y) so long as no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower, which
consent of the Collateral Agent and the Borrower shall not be unreasonably
withheld, and (v) no written consent of or prior notice to the Collateral Agent
or the Borrower shall be required in connection with any assignment by a Lender
to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender. Upon such
execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least three
Business Days after the delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent (or such
shorter period as shall be agreed to by the Collateral Agent and the parties to
such assignment), (A) the assignee thereunder shall become a "Lender" hereunder
and, in addition to the rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately
prior to such effective date, have the rights and obligations hereunder that
have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and (B) the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance,
relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining
portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding anything
contained to the contrary in this Section 11.07(b), a Lender may assign any or
all of its rights under the Loan Documents to an Affiliate of such Lender or a
Related Fund of such Lender without delivering an Assignment and Acceptance to
the Collateral Agent; provided, that (x) the Borrower and the Agents may
continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Lender in connection
with the interest so assigned until such Lender and its assignee shall have
executed and delivered an Assignment and Acceptance to the Collateral Agent for
recordation and (y) the failure of such assigning Lender to deliver an
Assignment and Acceptance to the Collateral Agent or any other Person shall not
affect the legality, validity or binding effect of such assignment. Unless the
Borrower shall otherwise consent in writing, Silver Point and/or its Related
Funds' Pro Rata Share (as defined in clause (c) of the definition of such term)
shall equal or exceed 51% at all times.
(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the
assigning Lender and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each
other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in
such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) the assigning Lender makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition
of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by
any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has
received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with
such other documents and information it has deemed appropriate to make its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv)
such assignee will, independently
-108-
and without reliance upon the assigning Lender, any Agent or any Lender and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) such assignee appoints
and authorizes the Agents to take such action as agents on its behalf and to
exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are
delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto; and (vi) such assignee
agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the
obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(d) The Collateral Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower,
maintain, or cause to be maintained at the Payment Office, a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the
"Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and
the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans (the "Registered Loans")
owing to each Lender from time to time. Other than in connection with an
assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such
Lender, the entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders
shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available
for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from
time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In the case of any assignment by a
Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender, and
which assignment is not recorded in the Register, the assigning Lender shall
maintain a comparable register.
(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by
an assigning Lender and an assignee, together with any promissory notes subject
to such assignment, the Collateral Agent shall, if the Collateral Agent (and the
Borrower, if applicable) consents to such assignment and if such Assignment and
Acceptance has been completed (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii)
record the information contained therein in the Register.
(f) A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any,
evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by
registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each registered
note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or sale of all or part of such
Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be
effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register,
together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same
duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale
duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request
of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes
in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated
assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of
any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same), the
Agents shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the
registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof
for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
-109-
(g) In the event that any Lender sells participations in a
Registered Loan, such Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters the
name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it (the "Participant
Register"). A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the
same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such
participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall
expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the
registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the
registration of such participation on the Participant Register.
(h) Any foreign Person who purchases or is assigned or
participates in any portion of such Registered Loan shall comply with Section
2.08(d).
(i) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or
other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all
or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans made by it); provided, that (i)
such Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation,
its Commitments hereunder) and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged;
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for
the performance of such obligations, and the Borrower, the Agents and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents; and (iii) a participant shall not be entitled to
require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except (A)
action directly effecting an extension of the maturity dates or decrease in the
principal amount of the Loans, (B) action directly effecting an extension of the
due dates or a decrease in the rate of interest payable on the Loans or the fees
payable under this Agreement, or (C) actions directly effecting a release of all
or a substantial portion of the Collateral or any Loan Party (except as set
forth in Section 9.08 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document). The Loan
Parties agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section
2.08 and Section 3.05 of this Agreement with respect to its participation in any
portion of the Commitments and the Loans as if it was a Lender.
(j) In the event (i) any Lender delivers to the Borrower any
notice in accordance with Section 2.08(c), 2.09(d), or 3.05(b), (ii) any Lender
defaults in its obligations to fund a Revolving Loan pursuant to this Agreement,
or (iii) any Lender (a "Non-Consenting Lender") refuses to consent to an
amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement that, pursuant to Section
11.02, requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all of the Lenders directly
affected thereby, and which amendment, modification or waiver has been consented
to by the Required Lenders, then, provided that no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing at such time, the Borrower may, at its own
expense (such expense to include any transfer fee payable to the Collateral
Agent under Section 11.07(b)), require such Lender to transfer and assign in
whole or in part, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the terms
and conditions of Section 11.07), all or part of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to any assignee which shall assume such
assigned obligations, provided that (A) such assignee shall be acceptable to the
Collateral Agent, (B) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or
regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority, (C) the
Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the assigning Lender in immediately
available funds the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such
payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and all other
-110-
amounts owed to it hereunder (including, without limitation, any amounts owing
pursuant to Section 2.08(c), 2.09(d), or 3.05(b)) and (D) in the event such
Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each assignee shall consent, at the time of
such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Lender was a
Non-Consenting Lender and the Borrower also requires each other Lender that is a
Non-Consenting Lender to assign its interests, rights and obligations under this
Section 11.07(j).
Section 11.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of this Agreement by telecopier or electronic transmission shall be equally as
effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any
party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopier or
electronic transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of
this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall
not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.
The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.
Section 11.09 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN
RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE
AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section 11.10 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE.
ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN XXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX IN THE COUNTY OF
NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW
YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH AGENT, EACH LENDER
AND EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY,
GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH
LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY APPOINTS THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK AS ITS AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY
OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING
OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE
BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.01 AND TO THE
SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE
TEN (10) DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. EACH AGENT, EACH LENDER AND EACH LOAN PARTY
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 HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF
THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED
BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR
-111-
OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH LOAN
PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE JURISDICTION OR
LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO
ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT
FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY LOAN PARTY HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY
IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER
THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF
EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, EACH LOAN PARTY
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
Section 11.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. EACH LOAN PARTY, EACH AGENT
AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT, INSTRUMENT,
DOCUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE DELIVERED IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDINGS OR
COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH LOAN
PARTY CERTIFIES THAT NO OFFICER, REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY AGENT
OR ANY LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT ANY AGENT OR ANY
LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK
TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS
PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO
THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 11.12 Consent by the Agents and Lenders. Except as otherwise
expressly set forth herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, if the
consent, approval, satisfaction, determination, judgment, acceptance or similar
action (an "Action") of any Agent or any Lender shall be permitted or required
pursuant to any provision hereof or any provision of any other agreement to
which any Loan Party is a party and to which any Agent or any Lender has
succeeded thereto, such Action shall be required to be in writing and may be
withheld or denied by such Agent or such Lender, in its sole discretion, with or
without any reason, and without being subject to question or challenge on the
grounds that such Action was not taken in good faith.
Section 11.13 No Party Deemed Drafter. Each of the parties hereto
agrees that no party hereto shall be deemed to be the drafter of this Agreement.
Section 11.14 Reinstatement; Certain Payments. If any claim is ever
made upon any Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or
amounts received by
-112-
such Agent or such Lender in payment or on account of any of the Obligations,
such Agent or such Lender shall give prompt notice of such claim to each other
Agent and Lender and the Borrower, and if such Agent or such Lender repays all
or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any
court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Agent or such Lender
or any of its property, or (ii) any good faith settlement or compromise of any
such claim effected by such Agent or such Lender with any such claimant, then
and in such event each Loan Party agrees that (A) any such judgment, decree,
order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the
cancellation of any Indebtedness hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or
the termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (B) it shall
be and remain liable to such Agent or such Lender hereunder for the amount so
repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally
been received by such Agent or such Lender.
Section 11.15 Indemnification.
(a) General Indemnity. In addition to each Loan Party's other
Obligations under this Agreement, each Loan Party agrees to, jointly and
severally, defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each
Lender and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys,
consultants and agents (collectively called the "Indenmitees") from and against
any and all losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees,
reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Indenmitees, whether prior
to or from and after the Effective Date, whether direct, indirect or
consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection
with any of the following: (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution or
performance or enforcement of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or of any
other document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, (ii) any Agent's or any Lender's furnishing of funds to the Borrower
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation,
the management of any such Loans, (iii) any matter relating to the financing
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or by
any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (iv) any claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any
Indemnitee is a party thereto (collectively, the "Indemnified Matters");
provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall not have any obligation to any
Indemnitee under this subsection (a) for any Indemnified Matter caused by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a
final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Environmental Indemnity. Without limiting Section 11.15(a)
hereof, each Loan Party agrees to, jointly and severally, defend, indemnify, and
hold harmless the Indenmitees against any and all Environmental Liabilities and
Costs, arising out of (i) any Releases or threatened Releases (x) at any
property presently or formerly owned or operated by any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any predecessor in interest, or (y) of any
Hazardous Materials generated and disposed of by any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any predecessor in interest; (ii) any request
for information, investigation, lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement
reached or order by a Governmental Authority relating to the presence or Release
of such Hazardous Materials; (iii) any violations of Environmental Laws; (iv)
any Environmental Action relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any
Loan Party,
-113-
or any predecessor in interest or filed against any Agent or any Lender; (v) any
personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal)
arising out of exposure to Hazardous Materials used, handled, generated,
transported or disposed by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party,
or any predecessor in interest; and (vi) any breach of any warranty or
representation regarding environmental matters made by the Loan Parties in
Section 5.01(r) or the breach of any covenant made by the Loan Parties in
Section 6.01(j). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties shall not have
any obligation to any Indemnitee under this subsection (b) regarding any
potential environmental matter covered hereunder which is caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) The indemnification for all of the foregoing losses, damages,
fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitees are chargeable against the Loan
Account. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless
set forth in this Section 11.15 may be unenforceable because it is violative of
any law or public policy, each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally,
contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under
applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters
incurred by the Indemnitees. The indemnities set forth in this Section 11.15
shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and discharge of any Liens
granted under the Loan Documents.
Section 11.16 Records. The unpaid principal of and interest on the
Loans, the interest rate or rates applicable to such unpaid principal and
interest, the duration of such applicability, the Commitments, and the accrued
and unpaid fees payable pursuant to this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the Applicable Prepayment Premium and the Unused Line Fee and the
fees set forth in the Fee Letter, shall at all times be ascertained from the
records of the Agents, which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error.
Section 11.17 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective
when it shall have been executed by each Loan Party, each Agent and each Lender
and when the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.01 hereof have been
satisfied or waived in writing by the Agents, and thereafter shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, each Agent and each Lender,
and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Loan Parties shall
not have the right to assign their rights hereunder or any interest herein
without the prior written consent of the Agents and each Lender, and any
assignment by any Lender shall be governed by Section 11.07 hereof.
Section 11.18 Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that
each Agent and each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to
it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan
Document would be usurious as to any Agent or any Lender under laws applicable
to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New
York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such
Agent or such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement),
then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or
as security for the Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of
all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent
or any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by
such Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan
-114-
Document or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Obligations shall
under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law,
any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be
credited by such Agent or such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations
(or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been
or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender, as
applicable, to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the
Obligations is accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this
Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment,
then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any
Agent or any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by
such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement
or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Agent or such Lender, as
applicable, as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if
theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable,
on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal
amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full,
refunded by such Agent or such Lender to the Borrower). All sums paid or agreed
to be paid to any Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of
sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such
Agent or such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout
the full term of the Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of
interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount
allowed by such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (x) the
amount of interest payable to any Agent or any Lender on any date shall be
computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender
pursuant to this Section 11.18 and (y) in respect of any subsequent interest
computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Agent or
such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Agent or
such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such
Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender in
respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be
computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender
until the total amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender shall
equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Agent
or such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving
effect to this Section 11.18.
For purposes of this Section 11.18, the term "applicable law" shall
mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable to the loan transaction
between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the
other, that lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest
permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such loan transaction and
this Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent
controlling, laws of the United States of America.
The right to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations does not
include the right to accelerate any interest that has not accrued as of the date
of acceleration.
Section 11.19 Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender agrees (on
behalf of itself and each of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and
representatives) to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in
accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information
of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound practices of comparable
commercial finance companies, any non-public information supplied to it by the
-115-
Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which is
identified in writing by the Loan Parties as being confidential at the time the
same is delivered to such Person (and which at the time is not, and does not
thereafter become, publicly available or available to such Person from another
source not known to be subject to a confidentiality obligation to such Person
not to disclose such information), provided that nothing herein shall limit the
disclosure of any such information (i) to the extent required by statute, rule,
regulation or judicial process, (ii) to counsel for any Agent or any Lender (it
being understood that such Person will be informed of the confidential nature of
such information and instructed to keep it confidential), (iii) to examiners,
auditors, accountants or Securitization Parties (it being understood that such
Person will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and
instructed to keep it confidential), (iv) in connection with any litigation to
which any Agent or any Lender is a party or (v) to any assignee or participant
(or prospective assignee or participant) so long as such assignee or participant
(or prospective assignee or participant) first agrees, in writing, to be bound
by confidentiality provisions similar in substance to this Section 11.19. Each
Agent and each Lender agrees that, upon receipt of a request or identification
of the requirement for disclosure pursuant to clause (iv) hereof, it will make
reasonable efforts to keep the Loan Parties informed of such request or
identification; provided that each Loan Party acknowledges that each Agent and
each Lender may make disclosure as required or requested by any Governmental
Authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Agent or Lender or
representative thereof and that each Agent and each Lender may be subject to
review by Securitization Parties or other regulatory agencies and may be
required to provide to, or otherwise make available for review by, the
representatives of such parties or agencies any such non-public information (it
being understood that such Person will be informed of the confidential nature of
such information and instructed to keep it confidential).
Section 11.20 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other
Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to
the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified
by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.
Section 11.21 USA Patriot Act Notice.
Each Lender, the Collateral Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any
Lender) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any
Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the
USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26,2001)),
it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the
Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and
other information that will allow such Lender, the Collateral Agent or the
Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance
therewith.

such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, if

Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such
capacity, if any, the "Administrative Agent" and together with the Collateral

WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Borrower"), each subsidiary of the Borrower listed as a "Guarantor" on the
signature pages thereto (together with each other Person (as defined in the
Financing Agreement) that guarantees all or any portion of the Obligations (as
defined in the Financing Agreement) from time to time, each a "Guarantor" and
collectively, the "Guarantors"), the lenders from time to time party thereto
(each a "Lender" and collectively, the "Lenders") and the Agents are parties to
a Financing Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2005 (such agreement, as amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including any
replacement agreement therefor, being hereinafter referred to as the "Financing
Agreement");
WHEREAS, the Borrower directly or indirectly owns all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Capital Stock or other interests of the Additional
Guarantor;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 6.01(b) of the Financing Agreement, the
Additional Guarantor is required to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent
a guaranty guaranteeing all Loans and all other Obligations of the Borrower
under the Financing Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Additional Guarantor has determined that its execution,
delivery and performance of this Guaranty directly benefit, and are within the
corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company purposes, as the
case may be, and in the best interests of, the Additional Guarantor;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements
herein and in order to induce the Lenders to make and maintain the Loans and to
provide other financial accommodations pursuant to the Financing Agreement, the
Additional Guarantor hereby agrees with the Lenders and the Agents as follows:
SECTION 1. Definitions. Reference is hereby made to the Financing
Agreement for a statement of the terms thereof. All terms used in this Guaranty
which are defined in the Financing Agreement and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the same meanings herein as set forth therein.
SECTION 2. Guaranty. The Additional Guarantor (together with the other
Guarantors) hereby jointly and severally (i) unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter
existing under any Loan Document, whether for principal, interest, fees,
commissions, expense reimbursements, indemnifications or otherwise (including,
without limitation, all interest, fees and expense reimbursements and other
amounts that accrue after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding of the
Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing interest, fees, expense
reimbursements or such other amounts are allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding)
(such obligations to the extent not paid by the Borrower, being the "Guaranteed
Obligations"), and (ii) agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable
counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Agents and the Lenders in enforcing
any rights under this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Additional Guarantor's liability shall extend to all amounts that
constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Borrower
to the Agents and the Lenders under any Loan Document but for the fact that they
are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency
Proceeding involving any Borrower.
SECTION 3. Guaranty Absolute; Continuing Guaranty; Assignments.
(a) The Additional Guarantor (together with the other Guarantors)
jointly and severally hereby guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be
paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of
any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction
affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agents or the Lenders with
respect thereto. The Additional Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty constitutes
a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection and waives any right to
require that any resort be made by any Agent or any Lender to any Collateral.
The obligations of the Additional Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent
of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought
and prosecuted against the Additional Guarantor to enforce such obligations,
irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Loan Party or
whether any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The
liability of the Additional Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable,
absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Additional Guarantor hereby
irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating
to, any or all of the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document
or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in
any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document,
including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations
resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or
otherwise;
(iii) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any
Collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
-2-
(iv) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right
that the Additional Guarantor may have at any time against any Person,
including, without limitation, any Agent or any Lender;
(v) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate,
limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Loan
Party; or
(vi) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any
statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by
the Agents or the Lenders that might otherwise constitute a defense available
to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety, other
than, subject to Section 11.14 of the Financing Agreement, the indefeasible
payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations
after the termination of the Total Commitment.
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded
or must otherwise be returned by the Agents, the Lenders or any other Person all
as though such payment had not been made.
(b) This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in
full force and effect until the later of (A) the cash payment in full of all of
the Guaranteed Obligations (other than indemnification obligations as to which
no claim has been made) and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and
(B) the termination of the Total Commitment, (ii) be binding upon the Additional
Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Agents and the Lenders and their successors, pledgees,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause
(iii), any Lender may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of
its rights and obligations under any Loan Document (including, without
limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments or its Loans) to any other
Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the
benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, in each
case as provided in the Financing Agreement.
SECTION 4. Waivers. The Additional Guarantor hereby waives (i)
promptness, diligence, (ii) notice of acceptance and any other notice with
respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any
requirement that the Agents or the Lenders exhaust any right or take any action
against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral, (iii) any right to
compel or direct any Agent or any Lender to seek payment or recovery of any
amounts owed under this Guaranty from any one particular fund or source or to
exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party or any other
Person or any Collateral, (iv) any requirement that any Agent or any Lender
protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien or any property
subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party
or any other Person or any Collateral and (v) any other defense available to the
Additional Guarantor, other than, subject to Section 11.14 of the Financing
Agreement, the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations
and the Guaranteed Obligations after the termination of the Total Commitment.
The Additional Guarantor agrees that the Agents and the Lenders shall have no
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Additional Guarantor or
against, or in payment of, any or all of the Obligations. The Additional
Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from
the financing arrangements contemplated
-3-
herein and in the Financing Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this
Section 4 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. The Additional
Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty, and acknowledges that
this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations,
whether existing now or in the future.
SECTION 5. Subrogation. The Additional Guarantor will not exercise any
rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Loan Party or any other
guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of
the Additional Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty, including, without
limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution
or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the
Agents, and the Lenders against any Loan Party or any other guarantor or any
Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under
contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to
take or receive from any Loan Party or any other guarantor, directly or
indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner,
payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and
until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this
Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash and the Total Commitment shall
have been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Additional Guarantor in
violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later
of the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination
of the Total Commitment, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of
the Agents and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Agents and the
Lenders, to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other
amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance
with the terms of this Guaranty and the Financing Agreement, or to be held as
Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this
Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) the Additional Guarantor shall make payment
to the Agents and the Lenders, of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations,
(ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this
Guaranty shall be paid in full in cash and (iii) the termination of the Total
Commitment shall have occurred, the Agents and the Lenders will, at the
Additional Guarantor's request and expense, execute and deliver to the
Additional Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without
representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to
the Additional Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting
from the payment by the Additional Guarantor.

LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION 11. Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by the Additional Guarantor hereunder or
under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any and all present or future Taxes. If the Additional Guarantor
shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum
payable hereunder to any Agent or any Lender (or any Transferee), (i) the sum
payable shall be increased by the amount (an "additional amount") necessary so
that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 11) such Agent or such Lender (or
such Transferee) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Additional Guarantor shall make such
deductions and (iii) the Additional Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Additional Guarantor agrees to pay to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any present or
future Other Taxes. The Additional Guarantor shall deliver to each Agent and
each Lender official receipts in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes payable
hereunder promptly after payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.
(c) The Additional Guarantor (together with the other Guarantors)
hereby jointly and severally indemnifies and agrees to hold each Agent and each
Lender harmless from and against Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without
limitation, Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this
Section 11) paid by such Agent or such Lender (or such Transferee), whether or
not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such
indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the date on which any such
Agent or such Lender makes written demand therefor specifying in reasonable
detail the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes.
(d) The Additional Guarantor shall not be required to indemnify any
Non-U.S. Lender, or pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in
respect of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to this Guaranty to
the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United
States Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a
party to the Financing Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a
participation holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee
thereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such
Non-U.S. Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan;
provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the
indemnity payment or additional amounts any Transferee, or any Lender (or
Transferee) through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without
regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional
amounts that the Person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such
Transferee, or such Lender (or Transferee) making the designation of such New
Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such
assignment, participation, transfer or designation, (ii) the obligation to pay
such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-
-8-
U.S. Lender to comply with the provisions of Section 2.08(d) of the Financing
Agreement or (iii) any of the representations or certifications made by a
Non-U.S. Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(d) of the Financing Agreement are
incorrect at the time a payment hereunder is made, other than by reason of any
change in treaty, law or regulation having effect after the date such
representations or certifications were made.
(e) Any Agent or any Lender (or Transferee) claiming any indemnity
payment or additional payment amounts payable pursuant to this Section 11 shall
use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to
file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower
or change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of
such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any
such indemnity payment or additional amount which may thereafter accrue, would
not require such Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) to disclose any
information such Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) deems confidential and
would not, in the reasonable determination of such Agent or such Lender (or
Transferee), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Agent or such Lender (or
Transferee).
(f) If any Agent or any Lender (or any Transferee) receives a refund
of a tax for which a payment has been made by the Additional Guarantor pursuant
to this Section 11, which refund in the sole judgment of such Agent or such
Lender (or Transferee) is attributable to such payment made by the Additional
Guarantor, then such Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) shall reimburse
Additional Guarantor for such amount. Nothing contained herein shall require any
Agent or any Lender (or Transferee) to make available to the Additional
Guarantor or any other Person any of its tax returns (or any other information
that it deems to be confidential in its sole discretion).
(g) The obligations of the Additional Guarantor under this Section 11
shall survive the termination of this Guaranty and the payment of the Loans and
all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Financing Agreement.
SECTION 12. Miscellaneous.
(a) The Additional Guarantor will make each payment hereunder in
lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, at
such address specified by the Administrative Agent from time to time by notice
to the Additional Guarantor under the Financing Agreement.
(b) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty and no
consent to any departure by the Additional Guarantor therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Additional Guarantor and the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which given.
(c) No failure on the part of any Agent or any Lender to exercise, and
no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right hereunder or under any other
-9-
Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders provided
herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to,
and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the
Agents and the Lenders under any Loan Document against any party thereto are not
conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Agents and the Lenders to
exercise any of their rights under any other Loan Document against such party or
against any other Person.
(d) Any provision of this Guaranty which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability
of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(e) This Guaranty shall (i) be binding on the Additional Guarantor and
its successors and assigns, and (ii) inure, together with all rights and
remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder, to the benefit of the Agents
and the Lenders and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.
Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding
sentence, to the extent permitted by Section 11.07 of the Financing Agreement,
any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations under the
Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document to any other Person, and such
other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect
thereof granted to the Lenders herein or otherwise. The Additional Guarantor
agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section
12 with respect to its participation in any portion of the Loans as if it was a
Lender. None of the rights or obligations of the Additional Guarantor hereunder
may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of
the Collateral Agent and any such assignment without the Collateral Agent's
prior written consent shall be null and void.
(f) This Guaranty and the other Loan Documents reflect the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other
agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.
(g) Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference
only and shall not constitute a part of this Guaranty for any other purpose.
(h) THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY
PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE
OF NEW YORK.

for liability insurance shall provide for all losses to be paid to the
Collateral Agent as its interests may appear, and each policy for property
damage insurance shall provide for all losses to be adjusted with, and paid
directly to, the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders.
In addition, each such policy shall (A) name each Grantor and the Collateral
Agent (and such other Persons as the Collateral Agent may designate from time to
time) as insured parties thereunder (without any
-11-
representation or warranty by or obligation upon the Collateral Agent or such
other Person) as their interests may appear, (B) contain an agreement by the
insurer that any loss thereunder shall be payable to the Collateral Agent on its
own account notwithstanding any action, inaction or breach of representation or
warranty by any Grantor, (C) provide that there shall be no recourse against the
Collateral Agent for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto
and (D) provide that at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of
cancellation, lapse, expiration or other adverse change shall be given to the
Collateral Agent by the insurer. Each Grantor will, if so requested by the
Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent original or duplicate policies
of such insurance and, as often as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request,
a report of a reputable insurance broker with respect to such insurance. Each
Grantor will also, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, execute
and deliver instruments of assignment of such insurance policies assigning such
policies to the Collateral Agent as security for the Obligations and will use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the respective insurers to acknowledge
notice of such assignment.
(ii) Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by
any rantor pursuant to this Section 5(e) may be paid directly to the Person who
shall have incurred liability covered by such insurance. In the case of any loss
involving damage to Equipment or Inventory, any proceeds of insurance maintained
by a Grantor pursuant to this Section 5(e) shall be paid to the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders in accordance with the Financing
Agreement.
(iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default
or Event of Default or except as otherwise expressly provided in the Financing
Agreement, upon any insurance payment in respect of any Equipment or Inventory,
all insurance payments in respect of such Equipment or Inventory shall be paid
to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and
applied as specified in Section 7(b) hereof.
(f) Provisions Concerning the Accounts and the Licenses.
(i) Except as otherwise expressly permitted by Section 6.02(m) of
the Financing Agreement, no Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of
the Collateral Agent, change (A) its name, identity or organizational structure,
(B) its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization as set forth in Section
4(b) hereof or (C) its chief executive office as set forth on Schedule III
hereto. Each Grantor shall (x) promptly notify the Collateral Agent upon
obtaining an organizational identification number, if on the date hereof such
Grantor did not have such identification number, and (y) keep adequate records
concerning the Accounts and Chattel Paper and permit representatives of the
Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement to inspect and
make abstracts from such Records and Chattel Paper.
(ii) Each Grantor will, except as otherwise provided in this
subsection (f), continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to
become due under the Accounts. In connection with such collections, each Grantor
may (and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
at the Collateral Agent's direction, will) take such action as such Grantor (or,
if applicable, the Collateral Agent) may deem necessary or advisable to enforce
collection or performance of the Accounts; provided, however, that the
Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance
-12-
of an Event of Default, to notify the Account Debtors or obligors under any
Accounts of the assignment of such Accounts to the Collateral Agent and to
direct such Account Debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to
become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or its
designated agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor
and to the extent permitted by law, to enforce collection of any such Accounts
and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same
manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done. After receipt by
any Grantor of a notice from the Collateral Agent that the Collateral Agent has
notified, intends to notify, or has enforced or intends to enforce a Grantor's
rights against the Account Debtors or obligors under any Accounts as referred to
in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, (A) all amounts and
proceeds (including Instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of the
Accounts shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent
hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be
forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent or its designated agent in the same
form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash
collateral and either (i) credited to the Loan Account so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) if an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as specified in Section 7(b)
hereof, and (B) such Grantor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or
payment of any Account or release wholly or partly any Account Debtor or obligor
thereof or allow any credit or discount thereon. In addition, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral
Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) direct any or all of the banks
and financial institutions with which any Grantor either maintains a Deposit
Account or a lockbox or deposits the proceeds of any Accounts to send
immediately to the Collateral Agent or its designated agent by wire transfer (to
such account as the Collateral Agent shall specify, or in such other manner as
the Collateral Agent shall direct) all or a portion of such securities, cash,
investments and other items held by such institution. Any such securities, cash,
investments and other items so received by the Collateral Agent or its
designated agent shall be distributed in accordance with Section 7 hereof.
(iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
breach or default under any material term of any License referred to in Schedule
II hereto by any party thereto other than a Grantor, (A) the relevant Grantor
will, promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, give the Collateral Agent
written notice of the nature and duration thereof, specifying what action, if
any, it has taken and proposes to take with respect thereto, (B) no Grantor
will, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, declare or
waive any such breach or default or affirmatively consent to the cure thereof or
exercise any of its remedies in respect thereof, and (C) after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will, upon
written instructions from the Collateral Agent and at such Grantor's expense,
take such action as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable in
respect thereof.
(iv) Each Grantor will, at its expense, promptly deliver to the
Collateral Agent a copy of each notice or other communication received by it by
which any other party to any License referred to in Schedule II hereto (A)
declares a breach or default by a Grantor of any material term thereunder, (B)
terminates such License or (C) purports to exercise any of its rights or affect
any of its obligations thereunder, together with a copy of any reply by such
Grantor thereto.
-13-
(v) Each Grantor will exercise promptly and diligently each and
every right which it may have under each License referred to in Schedule II
hereto (other than any right of termination) and will duly perform and observe
in all material respects all of its obligations under each License and will take
all action necessary to maintain the Licenses in full force and effect, in each
case to the extent such Grantor deems (in the exercise of its reasonable
business judgment) such exercise or action to be in its best interests. No
Grantor will, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), cancel, terminate, amend or
otherwise modify in any respect, or waive any provision of, any License except
for the termination of Licenses that the Grantors reasonably determine in good
faith to no longer be material and useful to the business of the Grantors, taken
as a whole.
(g) Transfers and Other Liens.
(i) Except to the extent expressly permitted by Section 6.02(c)
of the Financing Agreement, no Grantor will sell, assign (by operation of law or
otherwise), lease, license, exchange or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of
the Collateral.
(ii) Except to the extent expressly permitted by Section 6.02(a)
of the Financing Agreement, no Grantor will create, suffer to exist or grant any
Lien upon or with respect to any Collateral.
(h) Intellectual Property.
(i) If applicable, each Grantor has duly executed and delivered
the applicable Assignment for Security in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Each Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will, and will cause each
licensee thereof to, take all action necessary to maintain all of the
Intellectual Property in full force and effect, including, without limitation,
using the proper statutory notices and markings and using the Trademarks on each
applicable trademark class of goods in order to so maintain the Trademarks in
full force, free from any claim of abandonment for non-use, and no Grantor will
(nor permit any licensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act
whereby any Intellectual Property may become invalidated; provided, however,
that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Grantor
shall have an obligation to use or to maintain any Intellectual Property (A)
that relates solely to any product or work, that has been, or is in the process
of being, discontinued, abandoned or terminated, (B) that is being replaced with
Intellectual Property substantially similar to the Intellectual Property that
may be abandoned or otherwise become invalid, so long as the failure to use or
maintain such Intellectual Property does not materially adversely affect the
validity of such replacement Intellectual Property and so long as such
replacement Intellectual Property is subject to the Lien created by this
Agreement or (C) that is substantially the same as another Intellectual Property
that is in full force, so long the failure to use or maintain such Intellectual
Property does not materially adversely affect the validity of such replacement
Intellectual Property and so long as such other Intellectual Property is subject
to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement. Each Grantor will
cause to be taken all necessary steps in any proceeding before the United States
Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office or any
similar office or agency in any other country or political subdivision thereof
to maintain each registration of the Intellectual Property (other than the
Intellectual Property described in the proviso to the immediately preceding
sentence), including, without limitation, filing of renewals, affidavits of
-14-
use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition, interference and
cancellation proceedings and payment of maintenance fees, filing fees, taxes or
other governmental fees. If any Intellectual Property is infringed,
misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated in any material respect by a
third party, the Grantors shall (x) upon obtaining knowledge of such
infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, promptly notify the
Collateral Agent and (y) to the extent the Grantors shall deem appropriate under
the circumstances, promptly xxx for infringement, misappropriation, dilution or
other violation, seek injunctive relief where appropriate and recover any and
all damages for such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other
violation, or take such other actions as the Grantors shall deem appropriate
under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property. Each Grantor
shall furnish to the Collateral Agent, from time to time upon the Collateral
Agent's request, statements and schedules further identifying and describing the
Intellectual Property and Licenses, and such other reports in connection with
the Intellectual Property and Licenses as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request, all in reasonable detail. Following receipt by the Collateral Agent of
any such statements, schedules or reports, the Grantors shall modify this
Agreement by amending Schedule II hereto to include any Intellectual Property
and Licenses, as the case may be, which become part of the Collateral under this
Agreement, and shall execute and authenticate such documents and do such acts as
shall be necessary or, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, to
subject such Intellectual Property and Licenses to the Lien and security
interest created by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
no Grantor may abandon or otherwise permit any Intellectual Property to become
invalid without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, and if any
Intellectual Property is infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise
violated in any material respect by a third party, the Grantors will take such
action as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to
protect such Intellectual Property.
(ii) If any Grantor shall, either itself or through any agent,
employee, licensee or designee, file an application for the registration of any
Trademark or Copyright or the issuance of any Patent with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as
applicable, or in any similar office or agency of the United States or any
country or any political subdivision thereof, such Grantor shall give the
Collateral Agent written notice of such filing within five (5) Business Days
thereof. Upon request of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall execute,
authenticate and deliver any and all assignments, agreements, instruments,
documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence
the Collateral Agent's security interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property
and the General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented
thereby, and each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its
attorney-in-fact to execute and/or authenticate and file all such writings for
the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and
confirmed, and such power (being coupled with an interest) shall be irrevocable
until the date on which all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in
full in cash after the termination of the Total Commitment.
(i) Deposit, Commodities and Securities Accounts. Prior to the date
hereof, each Grantor shall cause each bank and other financial institution with
an account referred to in Schedule IV hereto to execute and deliver to the
Collateral Agent (or its designee) a control agreement, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, duly executed by such Grantor
and such bank or financial institution, or enter into other arrangements in form
-15-
and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, pursuant to which such
institution shall agree, among other things, that (i) it will comply at any time
with the instructions originated by the Collateral Agent (or its designee) to
such bank or financial institution directing the disposition of cash, Commodity
Contracts, securities, Investment Property and other items from time to time
credited to such account, without further consent of such Grantor, which
instructions the Collateral Agent (or its designee) will not give to such bank
or other financial institution in the absence of a continuing Event of Default,
(ii) all cash, Commodity Contracts, securities, Investment Property and other
items of such Grantor deposited with such institution shall be subject to a
perfected, first priority security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (or
its designee), (iii) any right of set off, banker's Lien or other similar Lien,
security interest or encumbrance shall be fully waived as against the Collateral
Agent (or its designee), and (iv) upon receipt of written notice from the
Collateral Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default, such bank or
financial institution shall immediately send to the Collateral Agent (or its
designee) by wire transfer (to such account as the Collateral Agent (or its
designee) shall specify, or in such other manner as the Collateral Agent (or its
designee) shall direct) all such cash, the value of any Commodity Contracts,
securities, Investment Property and other items held by it. Without the prior
written consent of the Collateral Agent, no Grantor shall make or maintain any
Deposit Account, Commodity Account or Securities Account except for the accounts
set forth in Schedule IV hereto. The provisions of this paragraph 5(i) shall not
apply to (i) Deposit Accounts for which the Collateral Agent is the depositary
and (ii) Deposit Accounts specially and exclusively used for payroll, payroll
taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of a
Grantor's salaried employees.
(j) Motor Vehicles.
(i) If requested by the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the
Collateral Agent originals of the certificates of title or ownership for all
Motor Vehicles owned by it with the Collateral Agent listed as a lienholder, for
the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders; provided that the Collateral Agent
shall not be required to be listed as a lienholder if a Motor Vehicle is subject
to a purchase money security interest permitted by Section 6.02(a) of the
Financing Agreement.
(ii) Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its
attorney-in-fact, effective the date hereof and exercisable upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, for the purpose of (A)
executing on behalf of such Grantor title or ownership applications for filing
with appropriate state agencies to enable Motor Vehicles now owned or hereafter
acquired by such Grantor to be retitled and the Collateral Agent listed as
lienholder thereof, (B) filing such applications with such state agencies, and
(C) executing such other documents and instruments on behalf of, and taking such
other action in the name of, such Grantor as the Collateral Agent may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof (including, without
limitation, for the purpose of creating in favor of the Collateral Agent a
perfected Lien on such Motor Vehicles and exercising the rights and remedies of
the Collateral Agent hereunder). This appointment as attorney-in-fact is coupled
with an interest and is irrevocable until the date on which all of the
Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash after the termination
the Total Commitment.
-16-
(iii) Any certificates of title or ownership delivered pursuant
to the terms hereof shall be accompanied by odometer statements for each Motor
Vehicle covered thereby.
(iv) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, upon the request of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall execute
and deliver to such Grantor such instruments as such Grantor shall reasonably
request to remove the notation of the Collateral Agent as lienholder on any
certificate of title for any Motor Vehicle; provided that any such instruments
shall be delivered, and the release effective, only upon receipt by the
Collateral Agent of a certificate from such Grantor, stating that the Motor
Vehicle, the Lien on which is to be released, is to be sold or has suffered a
casualty loss (with title thereto passing to the casualty insurance company
therefor in settlement of the claim for such loss), the amount that such Grantor
will receive as sale proceeds or insurance proceeds and whether or not such sale
proceeds or insurance proceeds are required by the Financing Agreement to be
paid to the Collateral Agent to be applied to the Obligations and, to the extent
required by the Financing Agreement, any proceeds of such sale or casualty loss
shall be paid to the Collateral Agent hereunder to be applied to the Obligations
then outstanding, in accordance with the terms of the Financing Agreement.
(k) Control. Each Grantor hereby agrees to take any or all action that
may be necessary or advisable or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request in order for the Collateral Agent to obtain control in accordance with
Sections 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, and 9-107 of the Code with respect to the
following Collateral: (i) Deposit Accounts, (ii) Electronic Chattel Paper, (iii)
Investment Property and (iv) Letter-of-Credit Rights. Each Grantor hereby
acknowledges and agrees that any agent or designee of the Collateral Agent shall
be deemed to be a "secured party" with respect to the collateral under the
control of such agent or designee for all purposes.
(l) Inspection and Reporting. Each Grantor shall permit the Agents, or
any agents or representatives thereof or such professionals or other Persons as
the Agents may designate (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from
such Grantor's records and books of account, (ii) to visit and inspect its
properties, (iii) to verify materials, leases, notes, Accounts, Inventory and
other assets of such Grantor from time to time, (iv) to conduct audits, physical
counts, appraisals and/or valuations, Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site
Assessments or examinations at the locations of such Grantor and (v) to discuss
such Grantor's affairs, finances and accounts with any of its directors,
officers, managerial employees, independent accountants or any of its other
representatives, in each case as provided in the Financing Agreement.
(m) Partnership and Limited Liability Company Interest. No Grantor
that is a partnership or a limited liability company shall, nor shall any
Grantor with any Subsidiary that is a partnership or a limited liability
company, permit such partnership interests or membership interests to (i) be
dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, (ii) become
a security for purposes of Article 8 of any relevant Uniform Commercial Code,
(iii) become an investment company security within the meaning of Section 8-103
of any relevant Uniform Commercial Code or (iv) be evidenced by a certificate.
Each Grantor agrees that such partnership interests or membership interests
shall constitute General Intangibles.
-17-
SECTION 6. Additional Provisions Concerning the Collateral.
(a) Each Grantor hereby (i) authorizes the Collateral Agent at any
time and from time to time to file, one or more financing or continuation
statements and amendments thereto, relating to the Collateral (including,
without limitation, any such financing statements that (A) describe the
Collateral as "all assets" or "all personal property" (or words of similar
effect) or that describe or identify the Collateral by type or in any other
manner as the Collateral Agent may determine, regardless of whether any
particular asset of such Grantor falls within the scope of Article 9 of the
Uniform Commercial Code or whether any particular asset of such Grantor
constitutes part of the Collateral, and (B) contain any other information
required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing office
acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment,
including, without limitation, whether such Grantor is an organization, the type
of organization and any organizational number issued to such Grantor) and (ii)
ratifies such authorization to the extent that the Collateral Agent has filed
any such financing statements, continuation statements, or amendments thereto,
prior to the date hereof. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or
any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be
sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as
its attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of
such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in
the Collateral Agent's discretion, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any
instrument which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (subject to the rights of a Grantor
under Section 5 hereof), including, without limitation, (i) to obtain and adjust
insurance required to be paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 5(e)
hereof, (ii) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and
give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in
respect of any Collateral, (iii) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or
other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (i) or
(ii) above, (iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the
collection of any Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Agents
and the Lenders with respect to any Collateral, and (v) to execute assignments,
licenses and other documents to enforce the rights of the Agents and the Lenders
with respect to any Collateral. This power is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable until the date on which all of the Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full in cash after the termination of the Total Commitment.
(c) For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise
rights and remedies hereunder, at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be
lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other
purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent
assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment
of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, assign, license or
sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by any
Grantor, wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable
access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored
and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the
-18-
provisions of the Financing Agreement that limit the right of a Grantor to
dispose of its property and Section 5(h) hereof, so long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor may exploit, use, enjoy,
protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions
with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of its
business. In furtherance of the foregoing, unless an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall from time to time, upon
the request of a Grantor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or
other documents, in the form so requested, which such Grantor shall have
certified are appropriate (in such Grantor's judgment) to allow it to take any
action permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided
pursuant to this clause (c) as to any Intellectual Property). Further, upon the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations and the
termination of the Total Commitment, the Collateral Agent (subject to Section
11(e) hereof) shall release and reassign to the Grantors all of the Collateral
Agent's right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property, and the
Licenses, all without recourse, representation or warranty whatsoever and at the
Grantors' sole expense. The exercise of rights and remedies hereunder by the
Collateral Agent shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses
or sublicenses theretofore granted by any Grantor in accordance with the second
sentence of this clause (c). Each Grantor hereby releases the Collateral Agent
from any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with
respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent
under the powers of attorney granted herein other than actions taken or omitted
to be taken through the Collateral Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct, as determined by a final determination of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
(d) If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein as
and when required, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement or obligation, in the name of such Grantor or the Collateral
Agent, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith
shall be jointly and severally payable by the Grantors pursuant to Section 8
hereof and shall be secured by the Collateral.
(e) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely
to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it
to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in
its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder,
the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking
of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining to any Collateral.
(f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding (i) each Grantor
shall remain liable under the Licenses and otherwise with respect to any of the
Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its obligations
thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii)
the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights hereunder shall not
release any Grantor from any of its obligations under the Licenses or otherwise
in respect of the Collateral, and (iii) the Collateral Agent shall not have any
obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement under the Licenses or with
respect to any of the other Collateral, nor shall the Collateral Agent be
obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder
or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned
hereunder.
-19-
SECTION 7. Remedies Upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in
addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise
available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default
under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and
also may (i) take absolute control of the Collateral, including, without
limitation, transfer into the Collateral Agent's name or into the name of its
nominee or nominees (to the extent the Collateral Agent has not theretofore done
so) and thereafter receive, for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, all
payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect
thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright
owner thereof, (ii) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that
it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith,
assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and
make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place or places to be designated
by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and the
Collateral Agent may enter into and occupy any premises owned or leased by any
Grantor where the Collateral or any part thereof is located or assembled for a
reasonable period in order to effectuate the Collateral Agent's rights and
remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to any Grantor in respect of
such occupation, and (iii) without notice except as specified below and without
any obligation to prepare or process the Collateral for sale, (A) sell the
Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale,
at any of the Collateral Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or
for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as
the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license
or dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms as the
Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to
the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of the Collateral shall be
required by law, at least ten (10) days' prior notice to a Grantor of the time
and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other
disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or
other disposition of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.
The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each
Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Agents and the Lenders arising by
reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at
a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a
public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if
the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the
Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights that such Grantor may
have to require that all or any part of the Collateral be marshaled upon any
sale (public or private) thereof. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that (i) any
such sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent shall be made without
warranty, (ii) the Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of
title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, and (iii) such actions set forth
in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not adversely effect the commercial
reasonableness of any such sale of the Collateral. In addition to the foregoing,
(i) upon written notice to any Grantor from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor
shall cease any use of the Intellectual Property or any trademark, patent or
copyright similar thereto for any purpose described in such notice; (ii) the
Collateral Agent may, at any time and from time to time, upon five (5) days'
prior notice to any Grantor, license, whether general, special or otherwise, and
whether on an exclusive or non-
-20-
exclusive basis, any of the Intellectual Property, throughout the universe for
such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral
Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (iii) the Collateral Agent
may, at any time, pursuant to the authority granted in Section 6 hereof (such
authority being effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default), execute and deliver on behalf of a Grantor, one or more
instruments of assignment of the Intellectual Property (or any application or
registration thereof), in form suitable for filing, recording or registration in
any country.
(b) Any cash held by the Collateral Agent (or its agents or designee)
as Collateral and all Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect
of any sale of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of
the Collateral shall be applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8 hereof) in whole or in part by the
Collateral Agent against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order as
the Collateral Agent shall elect, consistent with the provisions of the

Permitted Acquisition Capital Stock or (y) in the case of a Foreign Subsidiary
of such Pledgor, more than 65% (or such greater percentage that, due to a change

expected to cause any material adverse tax consequences) of the issued and
outstanding shares of Capital Stock entitled to vote (within the meaning of

is applicable thereto, such Pledgor shall cause the Collateral Agent (or its
designated custodian or nominee) to become the registered holder thereof, or

or limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the state or jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has all
requisite power and authority to conduct its business as now conducted and as
presently contemplated and to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and
each other Loan Document to be executed and delivered by it pursuant hereto and
to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and (iii) is
duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in
which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the
transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary, other than in
such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance by each Pledgor of
this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which such Pledgor is or will be
party (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary action, (ii) do not and
will not contravene its charter or by-laws, its limited liability company or
operating agreement or its certificate of partnership or partnership agreement,
as applicable, or any applicable law or any contractual restriction binding on
or otherwise affecting it or any of its properties, (iii) do not and will not
result in or require the creation of any Lien (other than pursuant to any Loan
Document) upon or with respect to any of its properties and (iv) do not and will
not result in any default, noncompliance, suspension, revocation, impairment,
forfeiture or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or
approval applicable to it or its operations or any of its properties.
(c) The Existing Issuers set forth in Schedule II hereto are the
Pledgors' only Subsidiaries existing on the date hereof. The Pledged Shares have
been duly
5
authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and the
holders thereof are not entitled to any preemptive, first refusal or other
similar rights. Except as noted in Schedule II hereto, the Pledged Shares
constitute 100% of the issued shares of Capital Stock of the Pledged Issuers as
of the date hereof. All other shares of stock constituting Pledged Collateral
will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
(d) The promissory notes currently evidencing the Pledged Debt
have been, and all other promissory notes from time to time evidencing Pledged
Debt, when executed and delivered, will have been, duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the respective makers thereof, and all such promissory notes are or
will be, as the case may be, legal, valid and binding obligations of such
makers, enforceable against such makers in accordance with their respective
terms, except as may be limited by equitable principles and by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally.
(e) Each Pledgor is and will be at all times the legal and
beneficial owner of its Pledged Collateral free and clear of all Liens, except
for the Lien created by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
(f) The exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights and
remedies hereunder will not contravene any applicable law or any contractual
restriction binding on or affecting any Pledgor or any of the properties of any
Pledgor and will not result in or require the creation of any Lien upon or with
respect to any of the properties of such Pledgor other than pursuant to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
(g) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no
notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained
or made by any Pledgor for (i) the due execution, delivery and performance by
any Pledgor of this Agreement, (ii) the grant by any Pledgor, or the perfection,
of the Lien created hereby in the Pledged Collateral or (iii) the exercise by
the Collateral Agent of any of its rights and remedies hereunder, except as may
be required in connection with any sale of any Pledged Collateral by laws
affecting the offering and sale of securities generally.
(h) This Agreement creates a valid Lien in favor of the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, in the Pledged
Collateral as security for the Obligations. The Collateral Agent's having
possession of the promissory notes evidencing the Pledged Debt, the certificates
representing the Pledged Shares and all other certificates, instruments and cash
constituting Pledged Collateral from time to time results in the perfection of
such Lien. Such Lien is, or in the case of Pledged Collateral in which any of
the Pledgors obtains rights after the date hereof, will be, a perfected, first
priority Lien. All action necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such
Lien has been duly taken, except for the Collateral Agent's having possession of
certificates, instruments and cash constituting Pledged Collateral after the
date hereof.
(i) This Agreement and each other Loan Document when delivered,
is (or will be, in the case of such documents delivered after the date hereof) a
legal valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor which is a party hereto or
thereto, enforceable against such Pledgor in accordance with its terms, except
as enforceability may be limited by equitable
6
principles and by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally.
SECTION 6. Covenants as to the Pledged Collateral. So long as any of
the Obligations shall remain outstanding or prior to the termination of the
Total Commitment, each Pledgor will, unless the Collateral Agent shall otherwise
consent in writing:
(a) keep adequate records concerning the Pledged Collateral and
permit the Collateral Agent or any agents, designees or representatives thereof
at any time or from time to time to examine and make copies of and abstracts
from such records consistent with the terms of the Financing Agreement;
(b) at the Pledgors' joint and several expense, promptly deliver
to the Collateral Agent a copy of each notice or other communication received by
it in respect of the Pledged Collateral;
(c) at the Pledgors' joint and several expense, defend the
Collateral Agent's right, title and security interest in and to the Pledged
Collateral against the claims of any Person;
(d) at the Pledgors' joint and several expense, at any time and
from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and
documents and take all further action that may be necessary or advisable or that
the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to (i) perfect and protect,
or maintain the perfection of, the security interest and Lien created hereby,
(ii) enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies
hereunder in respect of the Pledged Collateral or (iii) otherwise effect the
purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, delivering to the
Collateral Agent irrevocable proxies in respect of the Pledged Collateral;
(e) not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise), exchange
or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Collateral or any interest therein except as
expressly permitted by Section 6.02 of the Financing Agreement;
(f) not create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect
to any Pledged Collateral, except for the Lien created hereby;
(g) not make or consent to any amendment or other modification or
waiver with respect to any Pledged Collateral or enter into any agreement or
permit to exist any restriction with respect to any Pledged Collateral other
than pursuant to the Loan Documents;
(h) except as expressly permitted by the Financing Agreement, not
permit the issuance of (i) any additional shares of any class of Capital Stock
of any Pledged Issuer, (ii) any securities convertible voluntarily by the holder
thereof or automatically upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or
condition into, or exchangeable for, any such shares of Capital Stock or (iii)
any warrants, options, contracts or other commitments entitling any Person to
purchase or otherwise acquire any such shares of Capital Stock; and
7
(i) not take or fail to take any action which would in any manner
impair the validity or enforceability of the Collateral Agent's security
interest in and Lien on any Pledged Collateral.
SECTION 7. Voting Rights, Dividends, Etc. in Respect of the Pledged
Collateral.
(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing:
(i) each Pledgor may exercise any and all voting and other
consensual rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral for any purpose not
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Financing Agreement or the
other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (A) none of the Pledgors will
exercise or refrain from exercising any such right, as the case may be, if the
Collateral Agent gives a Pledgor notice that, in the Collateral Agent's
reasonable judgment, such action (or inaction) is reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect and (B) each Pledgor will give the Collateral Agent at
least five (5) Business Days' notice of the manner in which it intends to
exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right which is
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(ii) each of the Pledgors may receive and retain any and all
dividends, interest or other distributions paid in respect of the Pledged
Collateral to the extent permitted by the Financing Agreement; provided,
however, that any and all (A) dividends and interest paid or payable other than
in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable
or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for, any Pledged.
Collateral, (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in
respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection with a partial or total
liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital
surplus or paid-in surplus, and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed
in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, together with any
dividend, interest or other distribution or payment which at the time of such
payment was not permitted by the Financing Agreement, shall be, and shall
forthwith be delivered to the Collateral Agent, to hold as, Pledged Collateral
and shall, if received by any of the Pledgors, be received in trust for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from the other property or
funds of the Pledgors, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent
in the exact form received with any necessary indorsement and/or appropriate
stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Collateral Agent as
Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations; and
(iii) the Collateral Agent will execute and deliver (or
cause to be executed and delivered) to a Pledgor all such proxies and other
instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling
such Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to
exercise pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) hereof and to receive the dividends,
interest and/or other distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain
pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) hereof.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default:
8
(i) all rights of each Pledgor to exercise the voting and
other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise
pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) hereof, and to receive the dividends, distributions,
interest and other payments that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and
retain pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) hereof, shall cease, and all such rights
shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon
have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to
receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends, distributions and
interest payments;
(ii) the Collateral Agent is authorized to notify each
debtor with respect to the Pledged Debt to make payment directly to the
Collateral Agent (or its designee) and may collect any and all moneys due or to
become due to any Pledgor in respect of the Pledged Debt, and each of the
Pledgors hereby authorizes each such debtor to make such payment directly to the
Collateral Agent (or its designee) without any duty of inquiry;
(iii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Collateral Agent may at its option exercise any and all rights of conversion,
exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to
any of the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof,
including, without limitation, the right to exchange, in its discretion, any and
all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization or other adjustment of any Pledged Issuer, or upon the exercise
by any Pledged Issuer of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any
Pledged Collateral, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and
all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent,
registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may
determine; and
(iv) all dividends, distributions, interest and other
payments that are received by any of the Pledgors contrary to the provisions of
Section 7(b)(i) hereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgors, and
shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral in
the exact form received with any necessary indorsement and/or appropriate stock
powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Collateral Agent as Pledged
Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.
SECTION 8. Additional Provisions Concerning the Pledged Collateral.
(a) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and for
the purpose of taking any action that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, each Pledgor (i)
authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute any such agreements, instruments or
other documents in such Pledgor's name and to file such agreements, instruments
or other documents in such Pledgor's name in any appropriate filing office, (ii)
authorizes the Collateral Agent to file any financing statements required
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and any continuation statements or
amendments with respect thereto, in any appropriate filing office without the
signature of such Pledgor and (iii) ratifies the filing of any financing
statement, and any continuation statement or amendment with respect thereto,
filed without the signature of such Pledgor prior to the date hereof. A
photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement
covering the
9
Pledged Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing
statement where permitted by law.
(b) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent
as such Pledgor's attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place
and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, from
time to time in the Collateral Agent's reasonable discretion, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action
and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (subject to the rights of
such Pledgor under Section 7(a) hereof), including, without limitation, to
receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to such Pledgor
representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of
any Pledged Collateral and to give full discharge for the same. This power is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the date on which all of the
Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash after the termination of
the Total Commitment.
(c) If any Pledgor fails to perform any agreement or obligation
contained herein, the Collateral Agent itself may perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent
incurred in connection therewith shall be jointly and severally payable by the
Pledgors pursuant to Section 10 hereof and shall be secured by the Pledged
Collateral.
(d) Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe
custody of the Pledged Collateral while held hereunder, the Collateral Agent
shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto and shall
be relieved of all responsibility for the Pledged Collateral upon surrendering
it or tendering surrender of it to any of the Pledgors. The Collateral Agent
shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the
Collateral Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the
Collateral Agent shall not have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking
action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or
other matters relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Collateral
Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any
necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any
Pledged Collateral.
(e) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are
solely to protect its interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose
any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. Except for the
safe custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for
monies actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no
duty as to any Pledged Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to
preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any
Pledged Collateral.
(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Collateral Agent may at any time in its discretion (i) without
notice to any Pledgor, transfer or register in the name of the Collateral Agent
or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Collateral, subject only to the
revocable rights of such Pledgor under Section 7(a) hereof, and (ii) exchange
certificates or instruments constituting Pledged Collateral for certificates or
instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
10
SECTION 9. Remedies Upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Pledged
Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or
otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party
upon default under the Code then in effect in the State of New York; and without
limiting the generality of the foregoing and without notice except as specified
below, sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at
public or private sale, at any exchange or broker's board or elsewhere, at such
price or prices and on such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem
commercially reasonable. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale
shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days' notice to such Pledgor of the
time and place of any public sale of Pledged Collateral owned by such Pledgor or
the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of
Pledged Collateral regardless of whether or not notice of sale has been given.
The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(b) Each Pledgor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may deem it
impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Pledged Shares
or any other securities constituting Pledged Collateral and that the Collateral
Agent may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such
securities to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree,
among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each
Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms
less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have
been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that
such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to
delay the sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit
the issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under
the Securities Act. Each Pledgor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer
to sell such securities which has been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide
basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the
financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such an offer may
be so advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act) or (ii)
made privately in the manner described above to not less than fifteen bona fide
offerees shall be deemed to involve a "public disposition" for the purposes of
Section 9-610(c) of the Code (or any successor or similar, applicable statutory
provision) as then in effect in the State of New York, notwithstanding that such
sale may not constitute a "public offering" under the Securities Act, and that
the Collateral Agent may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such
securities.
(c) Any cash held by the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral
and all cash proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale
of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Pledged
Collateral shall be applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 10 hereof) in whole or in part by the
Collateral Agent against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order as
the Collateral Agent shall elect consistent with the provisions of the Financing
Agreement. Any surplus of
11
such cash or cash proceeds held by the Collateral Agent and remaining after the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations after the
termination of the Total Commitment shall be paid over to the Pledgors or to
such Person as may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
(d) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection
or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Agents and the
Lenders are legally entitled, the Pledgors shall be jointly and severally liable
for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified
in any applicable Loan Document for interest on overdue principal thereof or
such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of
collection and the reasonable fees, costs and expenses and other client charges
of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 10. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) Each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to defend, protect,
indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses,
damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and
expenses incurred by such Indemnitee) to the extent that they arise out of or
otherwise result from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement
of this Agreement), provided, however, that the Pledgors shall not have any
obligation to any Indemnitee under this Section 10(a) for any Indemnified Matter
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as
determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to pay to the
Collateral Agent upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses,
including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of the
Collateral Agent's counsel and of any experts and agents (including, without
limitation, any collateral trustee which may act as agent of the Collateral
Agent) which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the
preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration,
amendment, waiver or other modification or termination of this Agreement, (ii)
the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from,
or other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral, (iii) the exercise or
enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, or (iv) the
failure by any Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
SECTION 11. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications
provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed, telecopied or
delivered, if to any Pledgor, to it in care of the Borrower at the Borrower's
address specified in the Financing Agreement; if to the Collateral Agent, to it
at its address specified in the Financing Agreement; or as to any such Person,
at such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice
to such other Person complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 11.
All such notices and other communications shall be effective (a) if mailed (by
certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested),
when received or three (3) Business Days after deposited in the mails, whichever
occurs first, (b) if telecopied, when transmitted and confirmation received,
provided same is on a Business Day and, if not, on the next Business Day or (c)
if
12
delivered, upon delivery, provided same is on a Business Day and, if not, on the
next Business Day.
SECTION 12. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Agents and
the Lenders, all Liens and all obligations of each of the Pledgors hereunder
shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or
enforceability of the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in
respect of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of
or consent to any departure from the Financing Agreement or any other Loan
Document, (c) any exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any Lien on any
Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to or departure
from any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, any of the Pledgors in respect of the Obligations. All
authorizations and agencies contained herein with respect to any of the Pledged
Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.
SECTION 13. Miscellaneous.
(a) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement (including
any Schedule attached hereto) shall be effective unless it is in writing and
signed by each Pledgor and the Collateral Agent, and no waiver of any provision
of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any of the Pledgors
therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the
Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
(b) No failure on the part of the Agents or the Lenders to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the
Lenders provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are
in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law.
The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under any Loan Document against any
party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Agents or
the Lenders to exercise any of their rights under any other document against
such party or against any other Person.
(c) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability
of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(d) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in
and Lien on the Pledged Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect
until the satisfaction in full in cash of the Obligations after the termination
of the Total Commitment and (ii) be binding on each Pledgor and its respective
successors and assigns, and shall inure, together with all rights and remedies
of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder, to the benefit of the Agents and the
Lenders and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without
limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence,
the Agents and the Lenders may assign or
13
otherwise transfer their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement
and any other Loan Document to any other Person pursuant to the terms of the
Financing Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with
all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Agents and the Lenders
herein or otherwise. Upon any such assignment or transfer, all references in
this Agreement to any Agent or any Lender shall mean the assignee of such Agent
or such Lender. None of the rights or obligations of any of the Pledgors
hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written
consent of the Collateral Agent, and any such assignment or transfer shall be
null and void.
(e) Upon the satisfaction in full in cash of the Obligations
after the termination of the Total Commitment, (i) this Agreement and the
security interest and Lien created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the
Pledged Collateral shall revert to the Pledgors, and (ii) the Collateral Agent
promptly will, upon the Pledgors' request and at the Pledgors' expense, without
any representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever, (A) return to the Pledgors
such of the Pledged Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed
of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof and (B) execute and deliver to the
Pledgors such documents as the Pledgors shall reasonably request to evidence
such termination.
(f) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT AS 'REQUIRED BY
MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF LAW AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY AND
PERFECTION OR THE PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR NON-PERFECTION OF
THE SECURITY INTEREST AND LIEN CREATED HEREBY, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT
OF ANY PARTICULAR PLEDGED COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF A JURISDICTION
OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(g) Section headings herein are included for convenience of
reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other
purpose.
(h) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts
and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and
the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by
facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally effective as delivery of an
original executed counterpart.
(i) All of the obligations of the Pledgors hereunder are joint
and several. The Collateral Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
enforce the provisions hereof against any of the Pledgors and shall not be
required to proceed against all Pledgors jointly or seek payment from the
Pledgors ratably. In addition, the Collateral Agent may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, select the Pledged Collateral of any one or more of the
Pledgors for sale or application to the Obligations, without regard to the
ownership of such Pledged Collateral, and shall not be required to make such
selection ratably from the Pledged Collateral owned by all of the Pledgors. The
release or discharge of any Pledgor by the Collateral Agent shall not release or
discharge any other Pledgor from the obligations of such Person hereunder.
14
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Pledgor has caused this Agreement to be
executed and delivered by its officer thereunto duly authorized, as of the date
first above written.

Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, which terms and conditions shall
continue in full force and effect. The Agents' and
-3-
the Required Lenders' granting of such waivers shall not be construed as an
indication that any future waiver of Sections 6.01(r)(iii), (v), (vi) or (vii)
of the Financing Agreement or any other provision of the Loan Documents will be
consented to, it being understood that the granting or denying of any waiver
which may hereafter be requested by the Loan Parties remains in the sole and
absolute discretion of the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as the case may be.
The failure by the Loan Parties to deliver, on time, the documents described in
clauses (X) and (Y) of Section 3(a) above, or to otherwise comply with the terms
thereof will constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Financing
Agreement.
4. Sublease Consents and Waivers.
(a) Pursuant to the request of the Loan Parties and in accordance
with Section 11.02 of the Financing Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions to effectiveness set forth in Section 5 of this Amendment, the
Agents and the Required Lenders hereby consent to the Borrower entering into the
Sublease, failing to make the rent payments due under the Existing Lease after
Borrower enters into the Sublease, vacating the Existing Leased Premises prior
to the Existing Lease expiration date after Borrower enters into the Sublease
and terminating the Existing Lease prior to the Existing Lease expiration date
after Borrower enters into the Sublease, provided that, Borrower shall deliver
to the Collateral Agent as soon as possible, but in any event within three (3)
Business Days after Borrower's entering into the Sublease:
(i) the fully executed copy of the Sublease, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, certified by an

copy thereof,
(ii) a landlord waiver agreement executed by the Sublessor
and the Borrower, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent,
(iii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent that the landlord of the Subleased Premises has consented to the
Sublessor subleasing the Subleased Premises to the Borrower, and
(iv) all of such other agreements, documents and
instruments, if any, executed in connection therewith, in each case of this
Section 4, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent.
(b) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions above in this
Section 4, and subject to the effectiveness thereof, the Required Lenders and
the Agents hereby waive (i) any Default or Event of Default under the Financing
Agreement that shall result solely from the Borrower's entering into the
Sublease, and (ii) any Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01(b) of the
Financing Agreement that shall result from the Borrower's failure to comply with
Sections 5.01(h)(iii) and 5.01(x) of the Financing Agreement solely as a result
of the occurrence of the Potential Existing Lease Defaults after the Borrower
enters into the Sublease.
(c) The consents and waivers in this Section 4 shall be effective
only in this specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth herein and
do not allow for any other or further departure from the terms and conditions of
the Financing Agreement or any other
-4-
Loan Document, which terms and conditions shall continue in full force and
effect. The Agents' and the Required Lenders' granting of such consents and
waivers shall not be construed as an indication that any future consent or
waiver of the Financing Agreement or any other provision of the Loan Documents
will be consented to, it being understood that the granting or denying of any
consent or waiver which may hereafter be requested by the Loan Parties remains
in the sole and absolute discretion of the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as
the case may be. If the Borrower enters into the Sublease, the failure by the
Loan Parties to deliver, on time, the documents described in clauses (i) through
(iv) of Section 4(a) above, or to otherwise comply with the terms thereof will
constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Financing Agreement.

the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents are, and shall continue to

EXHIBIT A TO SECOND AMENDMENT

ISSUANCE OF EQUITY INTERESTS TO THE LENDERS
Section 12.01 Authorization and Issuance of Warrants. On the Second
Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall issue to the Lenders in accordance
with their Pro Rata Shares one or more warrant certificates covering the
purchase of 3,053,119 shares of Common Stock of the Borrower substantially in
the form of Annex I to the Second Amendment (such certificates, together with
the rights to purchase Common Stock of the Borrower provided thereby and all
warrant certificates covering such stock issued upon transfer, division or
combination of, or in substitution for, any thereof, being herein called the
"Warrants"). On each borrowing date following the Second Amendment Effective
Date that the Borrower draws a Revolving Loan in an aggregate principal amount
of $10,000,000 or more, the Borrower shall issue to the Lenders one or more
Warrants in an amount equal to the Lenders' Pro Rata Share of 459,116 (subject
to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
combination or other similar recapitalization affecting such shares), 688,673
(subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock
split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting such shares) and
918,231 (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend,
stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting such
shares) shares of Common Stock of the Borrower, respectively as of each such
subsequent borrowing date. It is understood and agreed that the Warrants contain
provisions affecting the number of shares of Common Stock of the Borrower that
may be acquired, which provisions are set forth in the Warrants. All such
Warrants will have an exercise price equal to an amount not greater than $0.001
per share and will cease to be exercisable on a date that is the fifth
anniversary of the Second Amendment Effective Date or as otherwise provided in
the Warrants.
Section 12.02 Securities Act Matters. (a) Each Lender represents and
warrants (severally on behalf of itself and not the other Lenders) to the
Borrower that:
(i) each such Lender is acquiring the Warrants hereunder for its own
account, without a view to the distribution thereof, all without prejudice,
however, to the right of the Lenders at any time, in accordance with this
Agreement, lawfully to sell or otherwise to dispose of all or any part of the
Warrants or Common Stock held by any of them under an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act or under an exemption from said registration
under the Securities Act;
(ii) each such Lender is an "accredited investor" within the meaning
of Regulation D under the Securities Act; and
(iii) each such Lender acknowledges and understands that the Warrants
have not been, and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall
not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, by
reason of their issuance by the Borrower in a transaction exempt from the
registration requirements thereof.
(b) The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:
(i) Assuming the truth and accuracy of each Lender's
representations and warranties contained in the immediately preceding
paragraphs, the issuance of the Warrants to the Lenders hereunder and the
issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Lenders pursuant to the Warrants are
exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act.
(ii) All stock and securities of the Borrower heretofore issued
and sold by the Borrower were, and all securities of the Borrower issued and
sold by the Borrower on and after the date hereof are or will be issued and sold
in accordance with, or are or will be exempt from, the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
(c) The Borrower agrees that neither it nor any Person acting on its
behalf has offered or will offer the Warrants or Common Stock or any part
thereof or any similar securities for issue or sale to, or has solicited or will
solicit any offer to acquire any of the same from, any Person so as to bring the
issuance and sale of the Warrants or Common Stock hereunder within the
provisions of the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act.
Section 12.03 Certain Taxes. The Borrower shall pay all taxes (other than
Federal, state or local income taxes) which may be payable and arise from the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or the issuance of the Warrants or
Common Stock hereunder or in connection with any modification of this Agreement
or the Warrants and shall hold the Lenders harmless without limitation as to
time against any and all liabilities with respect to all such taxes. The
obligations of the Borrower under this Section 12.03 shall survive any
redemption, repurchase or acquisition of Warrants or Common Stock by the
Borrower, any termination of this Agreement, and any cancellation or termination
of the Warrants. The parties hereto agree that, within 5 Business Days of the
Second Amendment Effective Date, the parties hereto will agree for income tax
purposes, the purchase price to be attributed to the Warrants issued to the
Lenders hereunder as of the Second Amendment Effective Date.
Section 12.04 Cancellation and Issuance. If any Lender assigns or otherwise
transfers all or any of its Loans (including by selling participations therein)
to any Person, such Lender may request (upon 10 days' prior notice to the
Borrower) that (a) a number of Warrants held by such Lender be canceled on the
date of such assignment and transfer and (b) a like number of Warrants be issued
by the Borrower to the Person to whom such Loans are being assigned or otherwise
transferred. Upon the date specified in such request:
(i) the Borrower shall issue, and such Lender shall surrender (or
cause to be surrendered) for cancellation, such number of Warrants as aforesaid,
provided that such issuance shall not violate the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities laws;
(ii) each Person that receives Warrants will deliver a
certificate to the Borrower affirming the representations and warranties
contained in Section 12.02(a) hereof as of such date;
(iii) the Borrower will deliver a certificate to each Person that
receives Warrants affirming the representations and warranties contained in
Section 12.02(b) hereof as of such date; and
(iv) the transferring Lender shall cause the transferee to become
a party to the Stockholders Agreement.

thereof) duly executed by the Holder and accompanied by payment of the
Purchase Price for the number of shares of Common Stock specified in such
form.
(b) Payment of the Purchase Price may be made as follows (or
by any combination of the following): (i) in United States currency by
cash or delivery of a certified check or bank draft payable to the
order of the Company or by wire transfer to the Company, (ii) by
cancellation of such number of the shares of Common Stock otherwise
issuable to the Holder upon such exercise as shall be specified in
such Election to Purchase Shares, such that the excess of the
aggregate Current Market Price of such specified number of shares on
the date of exercise over the portion of the Purchase Price
attributable to such shares shall equal the Purchase Price
attributable to the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such
exercise, in which case such amount shall be deemed to have been paid
to the Company and the number of shares issuable upon such exercise
shall be reduced by such specified number, or (iii) by surrender to
the Company for cancellation certificates representing shares of
Common Stock of the Company owned by the Holder (properly endorsed for
transfer in blank) having a Current Market Price on the date of

2.2. When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the
Business Day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to, and the
Purchase Price shall have been received by,
5
the Company as provided in Section 2.1, and at such time the Person or Persons
in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common
Stock (or Other Securities) shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in
Section 2.3 shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record
thereof for all purposes.
2.3. Delivery of Stock Certificates, Etc.; Charges, Taxes and
Expenses. (a) As soon as practicable after each exercise of this Warrant, in
whole or in part, and in any event within five Business Days thereafter, the
Company shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder
hereof or as the Holder may direct,

shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which the Holder
shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of issuance of
any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be

Holder. The Company shall then, on the next Business Day. issue the
appropriate
6
number of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant in
accordance with such accounting firm's determination under this
Section 2.3(c).
3. ADJUSTMENT OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE.
3.1. General; Warrant Quantity. This Warrant evidences the right to
purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Warrant Quantity,
subject to adjustment and readjustment as provided in this Section 3.
3.2. Adjustment of Warrant Quantity.
3.2.1. Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In case the
Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue or
sell Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common
Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4), without consideration
or for consideration per share less than the Fair Value of the Common Stock in
effect immediately prior to such issue or sale, then, in each such case, subject
to Section 3.8, the Warrant Quantity shall be increased, concurrently with such
issue or sale, to an amount determined by multiplying such Warrant Quantity by a
fraction:
(a) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis (including shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the issued and outstanding Series
A-l Preferred Stock and the conversion of the Silicon Warrant Shares,
and the 9,947,191 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
Options granted as of the Second Amendment Effective Date) immediately
after such issue or sale; provided, that for the purposes of this
Section 3.2.1(a), (i) immediately after any Additional Shares of
Common Stock are deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 3.3 or
3.4, such Additional Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding, and
(ii) treasury shares shall not be deemed to be outstanding; and
(b) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (i) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis
(including shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant, shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the issued
and outstanding Series A-l Preferred Stock and the conversion of the
Silicon Warrant Shares, and the 9,947,191 shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of Options granted as of the Second
Amendment Effective Date) immediately prior to such issue or sale;
(provided that for purposes of this Section 3.2.1(b) treasury shares
shall not be deemed outstanding) and (ii) the number of shares of
Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company
for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so
issued or sold would purchase at an amount equal to Fair Value.
3.2.2. Treatment of Options and Convertible Securities. Except as
set forth herein, in case the Company at any time or from time to time after the
date hereof shall issue., sell, grant or assume, or shall fix a record date for
the determination of holders of any
7
class of securities of the Company entitled to receive, any Options or
Convertible Securities (whether or not the rights thereunder are immediately
excrcisable), then, and in each such case, the maximum number of Additional
Shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, without
regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such
number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of
Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock
issued as of the time of such issue, sale, grant or assumption or, in case such
a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record
date; provided, that such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed
to have been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to
Section 3.5) of such shares would be less than the Fair Value in effect on the
date of and immediately prior to such issue, sale, grant or assumption or
immediately prior to the close of business on such record date, as the case may
be; and provided, further, that in any such case in which Additional Shares of
Common Stock are deemed to be issued:
(a) whether or not the Additional Shares of Common Stock
underlying such Options or Convertible Securities are deemed to be
issued, no further adjustment of the Warrant Quantity shall be made
upon the subsequent issue or sale of Convertible Securities or shares
of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities, except in the case of any
such Options or Convertible Securities which contain provisions
requiring an adjustment, subsequent to the date of the issue or sale
thereof, of the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of
such Convertible Securities by reason of (i) a Change of Control (as
defined in the Financing Agreement) of the Company, (ii) the
acquisition by any Person or group of Persons of any specified number
or percentage of the voting securities of the Company or (iii) any
other event or occurrence, such as a reset of pricing with respect to
the conversion of convertible Securities, each such case to be deemed
hereunder to involve a separate issuance of Additional Shares of
Common Stock. Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be;
(b) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms
provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in
the consideration payable to the Company, or decrease in the number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof (by change of rate or otherwise), the
Warrant Quantity computed upon the original issue, sale, grant or
assumption thereof (or upon the occurrence of the record date with
respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall,
upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed
to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such
Options, or the rights of conversion or exchange under such
Convertible Securities, which are outstanding at such time;
(c) no readjustment pursuant to subdivision (b) above shall
have the effect of decreasing the Warrant Quantity by an amount in
excess of the
8
amount of the adjustment thereof originally made in respect of the
issue, sale, grant or assumption of such Options or Convertible
Securities.
3.3. Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, etc. Except to the
extent paid to the holders of Series A-l Preferred Stock in satisfaction of the
Company's dividend obligation set forth in Article Fourth Section C(l) of the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation, in case the Company at any time or from
time to time after the date hereof shall declare or pay any dividend on the
Common Stock payable in Common Stock, or shall effect a subdivision of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common
Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common
Stock), then, and in each such case, if the Company declares or pays a dividend
on its Common Stock, payable in Common Stock, or other securities, subdivides
the outstanding Common Stock into a greater amount of Common Stock, then upon
exercise or conversion of this Warrant, for each share of Common Stock acquired,
Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of
securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the shares
of Common Stock recorded as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred. If
the outstanding shares of Common Stock are combined or consolidated, by
reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Purchase
Price shall be proportionately increased.
3.4. Computation of Consideration. For the purposes of this Section 3,
(a) the consideration for the issue or sale of any
Additional Shares of Common Stock shall, irrespective of the
accounting treatment of such consideration,
(i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the
net amount of cash received by the Company, without deducting any
expenses paid or incurred by the Company or any commissions or
compensations paid or concessions or discounts allowed to
underwriters, dealers or others performing similar services in
connection with such issue or sale,
(ii) insofar as it consists of property (including
securities) or services other than cash, be computed at the Fair
Value thereof at the time of such issue or sale, and
(iii) in case Additional Shares of Common Stock are
issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other
assets of the Company for a consideration which covers both, be
the portion of such consideration so received, computed as
provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, allocable to such
Additional Shares of Common Stock, such allocation to be
determined in the same manner that the Fair Value of property not
consisting of cash or securities is to be determined as provided
in the definition of "Fair Value" herein;
(b) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
issued pursuant to Section 3.3, relating to Options and Convertible
Securities,
9
shall be deemed to have been issued for a consideration per share
determined by dividing:
(i) the total amount, if any, received and receivable
by the Company as consideration for the issue, sale, grant or
assumption of the Options or Convertible Securities in question,
plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as
set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to
any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of
such consideration to protect against dilution) payable to the
Company upon the exercise in full of such Options or the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or, in the
case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such
Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange
of such Convertible Securities, in each case computing such
consideration as provided in the foregoing subdivision (a).
by
(ii) the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common
Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without
regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent
adjustment of such number to protect against dilution) issuable
upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange
of such Convertible Securities.
3.5. Adjustments for Combinations, etc. In case the outstanding shares
of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or
otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Quantity
in effect immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall,
concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be
proportionately decreased.
3.6. Dilution in Case of Other Securities. In case any Other
Securities shall be issued or sold or shall become subject to issue or sale upon
the conversion or exchange of any stock (or Other Securities) of the Company (or
any issuer of Other Securities or any other Person referred to in Section 4) or
to subscription, purchase or other acquisition pursuant to any Options issued or
granted by the Company (or any such other issuer or Person) for a consideration
such as to dilute, on a basis consistent with the standards established in the
other provisions of this Section 3, the purchase rights granted by this Warrant,
then, and in each such case, the computations, adjustments and readjustments
provided for in this Section 3 with respect to the Warrant Quantity shall be
made as nearly as possible in the manner so provided and applied to determine
the amount of Other Securities from time to time receivable upon the exercise of
this Warrant, so as to protect the Holder of this Warrant against the effect of
such dilution.
3.7. De Minimis Adjustments. If the amount of any adjustment of the
Warrant Quantity required pursuant to this Section 3 would be less than one
tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%) of the Warrant Quantity in effect at the time
such adjustment is otherwise so required to be made, such amount shall be
carried forward and adjustment with respect thereto made at the time of and
together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any
other
10
amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate a change in the Warrant
Quantity of at least one tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%) of such Warrant
Quantity. All calculations under this Warrant shall be made to the nearest
one-tenth of a share.
3.8. Abandoned Dividend or Distribution. If the Company shall take a
record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to
receive a dividend or other distribution (which results in an adjustment to the
Warrant Quantity under the terms of this Warrant) and shall, thereafter, and
before such dividend or distribution is paid or delivered to shareholders
entitled thereto, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or
distribution, then any adjustment made to the Warrant Quantity by reason of the
taking of such record shall be reversed, and any subsequent adjustments, based
thereon, shall be recomputed.
4. CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC.
4.1. Adjustments for Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets,
Reorganization, etc. In case the Company after the date hereof shall effect a
capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock or Other
Securities (other than a capital reorganization or reclassification resulting in
the issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock for which adjustment in the
Warrant Quantity is provided in Section 3.2.1 or 3.2.2), then, and in the case
of each such transaction, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis
and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this
Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such
transaction, shall be entitled to receive (at the aggregate Purchase Price in
effect at the time of such consummation for all Common Stock or Other Securities
issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to such consummation), in lieu of
the Common Stock or Other Securities issuable upon such exercise prior to such
consummation, the highest amount of securities, cash or other property to which
such Holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder upon such
consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior
thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such consummation) as nearly
equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in Sections 3 through 5.
4.2. Assumption of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained in
the Warrants or in the Financing Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall
not effect any of the transactions described in Section 4.1 unless, prior to the
consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Company) which may be required
to deliver any stock, securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this
Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and
reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (a) the obligations of
the Company under this Warrant (and if the Company shall survive the
consummation of such transaction, such assumption shall be in addition to, and
shall not release the Company from, any continuing obligations of the Company
under this Warrant), (b) the obligations of the Company under the Investor
Rights Agreement and (c) the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of
stock, securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this Section 4. the Holder may be entitled to receive. Nothing in
this Section 4 shall be deemed to authorize the Company to enter into any
transaction not otherwise permitted by the Financing Agreement.
5. OTHER DILUTIVE EVENTS. In case any event shall occur as to which,
in the good faith opinion of both the Board of Directors of the Company and the
Holder, the
11
provisions of Section 3 or Section 4 are not strictly applicable or if strictly
applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such Sections,
then, in each such case, the Board of Directors of Company shall make an
adjustment, which adjustment, if any, will be final, in the application of such
provisions, in accordance with the essential intent and principles, as
determined jointly and in good faith by the Board of Directors and the Holder,
so as to preserve, without dilution, the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant.
6. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company shall not, by amendment of its
certificate of incorporation or through any consolidation, merger,
reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or
any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist
in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as
may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of
this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company (a) shall not permit the par value of any shares of stock
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the amount payable
therefor upon such exercise, (b) shall take all such action as may be necessary
or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully
paid and nonassessable shares of stock, free from all taxes, liens, security
interests, encumbrances, preemptive rights and charges on the exercise of the
Warrants from time to time outstanding, and (c) shall not take any action which
results in any adjustment of the Warrant Quantity if the total number of shares
of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable after the action upon the
exercise of all of the Warrants would exceed the total number of shares of
Common Stock (or Other Securities) then authorized by the Company's certificate
of incorporation and available for the purpose of issue upon such exercise.
7. CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any adjustment or
readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon
the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute
such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and
prepare a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer of the
Company setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable
detail the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which such
adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the
consideration received or to be received by the Company for any Additional
Shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued, (b) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and
(c)the Warrant Quantity in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as
adjusted and readjusted (if required by Section 3) on account thereof. The
Company shall forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to each holder of a
Warrant and shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of a
Warrant, furnish to such holder a like certificate. The Company shall also keep
copies of all such certificate at its principal office and shall cause the same
to be available for inspection at such office during normal business hours by
any holder of a Warrant or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by
the holder thereof.

accounting principles, in an amount not exceeding the amount in excess

such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such

Administrative Agent under the Financing Agreement.

required to be reserved for purposes of exercise of this Warrant require
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or
state law (other than the Securities Act) before such shares may be issued upon
exercise, the Company shall, at its expense and as expeditiously as possible,
use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such shares to be duly
registered or approved, as the case may be. At any such time as Common Stock is
listed on any national securities exchange, the Company shall, at its expense,
obtain promptly and
13
maintain the approval for listing on each such exchange, upon official notice of
issuance, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the then
outstanding Warrants and maintain the listing of such shares after their
issuance; and the Company shall also list on such national securities exchange,
shall register under the Exchange Act and shall maintain such listing of, any
Other Securities that at any time are issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, if
and at the time that any securities of the same class shall be listed on such
national securities exchange by the Company.
10. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
10.1. Restrictive Legends. Except as otherwise permitted by this
Section 10, each Warrant (including each Warrant issued upon the transfer of any
Warrant) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form and as otherwise required by the Stockholders Agreement:
"THIS WARRANT AND ANY SECURITIES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS
WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAW OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS
OR PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION TO THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF
SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS."
Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 10, each certificate for Common
Stock (or Other Securities) issued upon the exercise of any Warrant, and each
certificate issued upon the transfer of any such Common Stock (or Other
Securities), shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in
substantially the following form and as otherwise required by the Stockholders
Agreement:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES
LAW OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF
EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION TO
THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS."

any manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, except in compliance
with the provisions of the Securities Act and state securities or Blue Sky laws
and the terms and conditions hereof.
10.3. Termination of Restrictions. Subject to the Stockholders
Agreement,, the restrictions imposed by this Section 10 on the transferability
of Restricted Securities shall cease
14
and terminate as to any particular Restricted Securities (a) when a registration
statement with respect to the sale of such securities shall have been declared
effective under the Securities Act and such securities shall have been disposed
of in accordance with such registration statement, (b) when such securities are
sold pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the
Securities Act, or (c) when, in the opinion of both counsel for the Holder and
counsel for the Company, such restrictions are no longer required or necessary
in order to protect the Company against a violation of the Securities Act upon
any sale or other disposition of such securities without registration
thereunder; provided no such opinion shall be required for any disposition by
the Holder to an Affiliate or Related Fund. Whenever such restrictions shall
cease and terminate as to any Restricted Securities, the Holder shall be
entitled to receive from the Company, without expense, new securities of like
tenor not bearing the applicable legends required by Section 10.1.
11. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC. The Company shall at all times reserve
and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the
Warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time
to time issuable upon exercise of all Warrants at the time outstanding. All
shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon exercise of any
Warrants shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be
validly issued and, in the case of shares, fully paid and nonassessable with no
liability on the part of the holders thereof, and, in the case of all
securities, shall be free from all taxes, liens, security interests,
encumbrances, preemptive rights and charges. The transfer agent for the Common
Stock, which may be the Company ("Transfer Agent"), and every subsequent
Transfer Agent for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the
exercise of any of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, are hereby
irrevocably authorized and directed at all times until the Expiration Date to
reserve such number of authorized and unissued shares as shall be requisite for
such purpose. The Company shall keep copies of this Warrant on file with the
Transfer Agent for the Common Stock and with every subsequent Transfer Agent for
any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the
rights of purchase represented by this Warrant. The Company shall supply such
Transfer Agent with duly executed stock certificates for such purpose. All
Warrant Certificates surrendered upon the exercise of the rights thereby
evidenced shall be canceled, and such canceled Warrants shall constitute
sufficient evidence of the number of shares of stock which have been issued upon
the exercise of such Warrants. Subsequent to the Expiration Date, no shares of
stock need be reserved in respect of any unexercised Warrant.
12. REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF WARRANTS. ETC.
12.1. Warrant Register; Ownership of Warrants. Each Warrant issued by
the Company shall be numbered and shall be registered in a warrant register (the
"Warrant Register") as it is issued and transferred, which Warrant Register
shall be maintained by the Company at its principal office or, at the Company's
election and expense, by a Warrant Agent or the Company's transfer agent. The
Company shall be entitled to treat the registered Holder of any Warrant on the
Warrant Register as the owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be
bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrant
on the part of any other Person, and shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary, except that, if and when any Warrant is properly assigned in blank,
the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) treat the bearer thereof as the
owner of such Warrant for all purposes. Subject to Section 10, a Warrant, if
15
properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder without a new Warrant first
having been issued.
12.2. Transfer of Warrants. Subject to compliance with Section 10, if
applicable, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or
in part, without charge to the Holder hereof, upon surrender of this Warrant
with a properly executed Form of Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B at the
principal office of the Company and Instrument of Accession, as described below,
to the Stockholder's Agreement. Upon any partial transfer, the Company shall at
its expense issue and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor, in the
name of the Holder, which shall be exercisable for such number of shares of
Common Stock with respect to which rights under this Warrant were not so
transferred.
12.3. Replacement of Warrants. On receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably
satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or. in the case of any such
mutilation, on surrender of such Wan-ant to the Company at its principal office
and cancellation thereof, the Company at the Holder's expense shall execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
12.4. Adjustments to Number of Shares. Notwithstanding any adjustment
in the number or kind of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of
this Warrant, any Warrant theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to
express the same number and kind of shares of Common Stock as are stated in this
Warrant, as initially issued.
12.5. Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any adjustment pursuant to
Section 3 in the number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Warrant or any
other provision of this Warrant, the Company shall not be required to issue
fractions of shares upon exercise of this Warrant or to distribute certificates
which evidence fractional shares. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company
shall make payment to the Holder, at the time of exercise of this Warrant as
herein provided, in an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the
Current Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date of Warrant exercise.
13. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
14. NO RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS SHAREHOLDER. Except as provided in
Section 21, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring
upon the Holder hereof any rights as a shareholder of the Company or as imposing
any obligation on the Holder to purchase any securities or as imposing any
liabilities on the Holder as a shareholder of the Company, whether such
obligation or liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the
Company.

modified, supplemented or terminated, and waivers or consents to departures from
the provisions hereof may not be established, without the written consent of the
Company and the individual holder of this Warrant. All Warrants may be amended
by the written consent of the Company and the holders of Warrants representing
at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all
of the Warrants then outstanding; provided however, that with respect to any
amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver of any provisions of

compared to the rights of any other holders, the Company shall seek from each
holder adversely affected, a consent in writing to such amendment, modification,

consent may be withheld by the individual holder in its sole discretion. If the
Company is unable to obtain a consent from each holder whose rights would be

such shares or an available exemption from registration under the Securities
Act, the Warrants and Warrant Shares must be held indefinitely. In particular,
Holder is aware that this Warrant and such shares may not be sold pursuant to
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act unless all of the conditions of
that Rule are met and that among the conditions for use of Rule 144 may be the
availability of current information to the public about the Company, information
that is not now made available. Holder understands that this Warrant and such
shares will be subject to the restrictions on exercise, conversion and transfer

prospects of the Company that have been reasonably requested by Holder. Holder

Loan Document purports to pledge to the Collateral Agent, or to grant to the
Collateral Agent a security interest in or lien on, any collateral as security
for the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations, such pledge or grant of a
security interest or lien is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, and
(iii) the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not
operate as an amendment of any right, power or remedy of the Agents or the
Lenders under the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor constitute
an amendment of any provision of the Financing Agreement or any other Loan
Document. This Amendment shall be effective only in the specific instances and
