Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (ii) the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the lesser of (x) the
sum of the total Revolving Commitments or (y) the Borrowing Base, subject to the Administrative
Agent’s authority, in its sole discretion, to make Protective Advances and Overadvances pursuant to
the terms of Section 2.04 and 2.05. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.
Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.
(a) Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of
Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitments of the applicable Class. Any Protective Advance, any Overadvance and any Swingline
Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04 and 2.05.
(b) Subject to Section 2.14, each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans
or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower Representative may request in accordance herewith,
provided that all Borrowings made on the Effective Date must be made as ABR Borrowings but
may be converted into Eurodollar Borrowings in accordance with Section 2.08. Each Swingline Loan
shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any
domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any
exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less
than $500,000. ABR Revolving Borrowings may be in any amount. Each Swingline Loan shall
-25-
be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000.
Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided
that there shall not at any time be more than a total of five Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower Representative shall
not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest
Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.
Section 2.03 Requests for Revolving Borrowings.
To request a Revolving Borrowing, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative
Agent of such request either in writing (delivered by hand or facsimile) in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower Representative or by telephone (a) in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, three (3) Business Days before the
date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than noon, Chicago
time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of an ABR
Revolving Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section
2.06(e) may be given not later than 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing.
Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by
hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form
approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower Representative. Each such
telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with
Section 2.01:
(i) the name of the applicable Borrower;
(ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing and a breakdown of the
separate wires comprising such Borrowing;
(iii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iv) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar
Borrowing; and
(v) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be
applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the
term “Interest Period.”
If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving
Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any
requested Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower(s) shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing
Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the
details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested
Borrowing.
Section 2.04 Protective Advances.
(a) Subject to the limitations set forth below, upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Default, the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Borrowers and the
Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely
no obligation to), to make Loans to the Borrowers, on behalf of all Lenders, which the
Administrative Agent, in its
-26-
Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral,
or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of
the Loans and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be
paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable
expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and other sums payable
under the Loan Documents (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “Protective
Advances”); provided that, the aggregate amount of Protective Advances outstanding at
any time shall not at any time exceed 10% of then outstanding Revolving Commitments of the Lenders;
provided further that, the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances plus
the aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments. Protective Advances
may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied.
The Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent in and
to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. All Protective Advances shall be ABR
Borrowings. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at
any time by Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective
prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that there is
sufficient Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied,
the Administrative Agent may on a Business Day request the Revolving Lenders to make a Revolving
Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require the
Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.04(b).
(b) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall be
deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably
purchased from the Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage. From and
after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective
Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender,
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of
Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.
Section 2.05 Swingline Loans and Overadvances.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make
Swingline Loans to the Borrowers, from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate
principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount
of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $10,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving
Exposures exceeding the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments and the Borrowing Base;
provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to
refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. To
request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
request by telephone (confirmed by facsimile), not later than noon, Chicago time, on the day of a
proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested
date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The
Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the
Borrower Representative. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the
Borrowers by means of a credit to the Funding Account(s) (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made
to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e), by remittance to
the Issuing Bank, and in the case of repayment of another Loan or fees or expenses as provided by
Section 2.18(c), by remittance to the Administrative Agent to be distributed to the Lenders) by
2:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. At all times the Borrowers
maintain one or more Controlled Disbursement Accounts, the Borrowers hereby authorize the Swingline
Lender to, and the Swingline Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein
-27-
(but without any further written notice required), not later than 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, on
each Business Day, make available to the Borrowers by means of a credit to the Funding Account(s),
the proceeds of a Swingline Loan to the extent necessary to pay items to be drawn on any Controlled
Disbursement Account that day (as determined based on notice from the Administrative Agent).
(b) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later
than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire
participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such
notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will
participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice
thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of
such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees,
upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each
Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline
Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its
obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner
as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall
apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from
the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative of any
participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments
in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the
Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrowers (or other party
on behalf of the Borrowers) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of
the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative
Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this
paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any
such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any
reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not
relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.
(c) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of the
Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely
no obligation), make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, in
amounts that exceed Availability (any such excess Revolving Loans are herein referred to
collectively as “Overadvances”); provided that, no Overadvance shall result in a
Default due to the Borrowers’ failure to comply with Section 2.01 for so long as such Overadvance
remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, but solely with respect to the
amount of such Overadvance. In addition, Overadvances may be made even if the condition precedent
set forth in Section 4.02(c) has not been satisfied. All Overadvances shall constitute ABR
Borrowings. The authority of the Administrative Agent to make Overadvances is limited to an
aggregate amount not to exceed 10% of then outstanding Revolving Commitments of the Lenders at any
time, no Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than thirty (30) days and no Overadvance shall
cause any Revolving Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed its Revolving Commitment;
provided that, the Majority Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s
authorization to make Overadvances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become
effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.
-28-
(d) Upon the making of an Overadvance by the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Lender shall
be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably
purchased from the Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation in such Overadvance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving
Commitment. The Administrative Agent may, at any time, require the Revolving Lenders to fund their
participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Revolving Lender is required to fund
its participation in any Overadvance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and
interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such
Loan.
(e) Upon the making of a Swingline Loan or an Overadvance (whether before or after the
occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to
such Swingline Loan or Overadvance), each Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further action
by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swingline Lender or
the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest
and participation in such Swingline Loan or Overadvance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage
of the Revolving Commitment. The Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent may, at any time,
require the Revolving Lenders to fund their participations. From and after the date, if any, on
which any Revolving Lender is required to fund its participation in any Swingline Loan or
Overadvance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender,
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of
Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Loan.
(f) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Swingline Lender, shall request settlement of
outstanding Swingline Loans (a “Settlement”) with the Revolving Lenders on at least a
weekly basis or on any date that the Administrative Agent elects, by notifying the Revolving
Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 12:00 noon
Chicago time on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each
Revolving Lender (other than the Swingline Lender, in the case of the Swingline Loans) shall
transfer the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal
amount of the applicable Swingline Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the
Administrative Agent, to such account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may
designate, not later than 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur
during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth
in Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent
shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with
Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Revolving Loans
of such Revolving Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the
Administrative Agent by any Revolving Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender shall be
entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as
specified in Section 2.07.
Section 2.06 Letters of Credit.
(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower
Representative may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account or for the account
of another Borrower, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing
Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of
any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrowers to, or
entered into by the Borrowers with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms
and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
-29-
(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request
the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter
of Credit), the Borrower Representative shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic
communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing
Bank and the Administrative Agent (prior to 9:00 am, Chicago time, at least three (3) Business Days
prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the
issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or
extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a
Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with
paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or
extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall
submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any
request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended
only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrowers
shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $10,000,000 and (ii) the total Revolving
Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments and the Borrowing Base.
(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of
Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or
extension) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.
(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a
Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the
Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and
each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of
Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn
under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving
Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by
the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraph (e)
of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any
reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or
reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any
offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e)
Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a
Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the
Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago
time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrowers Representative shall have
received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on such date, or, if such
notice has not been received by the Borrower Representative prior to such time on such date, then
not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower Representative
receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, or (ii) the
Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower Representative receives such notice,
if such notice is not received prior to such time;
provided that the Borrowers may, subject
to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05
that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing
-30-
or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’
obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving
Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the
payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the
same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07
shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving
Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so
received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent
of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall
distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made
payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the
Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to
this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR
Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall
not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ joint and several obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under
any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability
of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or
other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in
any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by
the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that
does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of
this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against,
the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor
the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by
reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or
failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the
preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or
delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit
(including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of
technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank;
provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from
liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential
damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by
applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise
care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply
with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such
determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the
parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in
substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole
discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and
make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of
such Letter of Credit.
-31-
(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable
Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing
Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give
or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the
Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then,
unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement
is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date
such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC
Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that,
if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this
Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be
for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment
by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank
shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by
written agreement among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing
Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders
of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become
effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing
Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i)
the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to
the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank,
or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the
replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and
shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with
respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to
issue additional Letters of Credit.
(j)
Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on
the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives notice from the Administrative Agent or
the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the
Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the
Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “
LC Collateral
Account”), an amount in cash equal to 105% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon;
provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall
become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without
demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any
Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the
Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The
Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of
withdrawal, over such account and the Borrowers hereby grant the Administrative Agent a security
interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such
deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and Permitted Discretion of the
Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.
Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such
account, including interest and profits, shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse
the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not
so applied, shall be held
-32-
for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at
such time or be applied to satisfy other outstanding Secured Obligations. If the Borrowers are
required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an
Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the
Borrowers within three (3) Business Days after all such Defaults have been cured or waived.
Section 2.07 Funding of Borrowings.
(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof
by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, to the account of the
Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an
amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided that Swingline Loans shall be
made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the
Borrower Representative by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the
Funding Account(s); provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of
(i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent
to the Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance or an Overadvance shall be retained by the
Administrative Agent.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent
such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has
made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount.
In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to
the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to
the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to
but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender,
the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent
in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the
Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such
Borrowing.
Section 2.08 Interest Elections.
(a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial
Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower Representative
may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a
Borrowing of the same type and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest
Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Representative may elect different
options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such
portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing,
and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section
shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, Overadvances or Protective Advances, which may not be
converted or continued.
(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be
required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type
resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such
telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or
-33-
facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form
approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower Representative.
(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i) the Borrower and the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request
applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different
portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing
(in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv)
below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar
Borrowing; and
(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period
to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a
period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an
Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration.
(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall
advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e) If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with
respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest
Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative
Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Representative, then, so
long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted
to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto.
Section 2.09 Termination, Reduction and Increase of Commitments.
(a) Unless previously terminated, all Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.
(b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate the Commitments upon (i) the payment in full of
all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any Letters of
Credit, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively,
with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the Administrative Agent of a cash
deposit (or at the discretion of the Administrative Agent a back up standby letter of credit
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) equal to 105% of the LC Exposure as of such date), (iii)
the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations together with accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, and (iv) the payment in
-34-
full of the accrued and unpaid fees, including applicable Prepayment Fee (if any);
provided that no Prepayment Fee shall be payable in the event this Agreement is terminated
in connection with (x) a refinancing of all of the then outstanding Obligations in a transaction in
which Chase or one of its Affiliates is the financial institution that provides or arranges a
replacement bank credit facility for the Borrowers or (y) a refinancing of all of the then
outstanding Obligations with the proceeds of the sale of Equity Interests of any Loan Party in
which Chase or one of its Affiliates is the underwriter in connection with such sale.
(c) The Borrowers may from time to time reduce the Revolving Commitments; provided
that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral
multiple of $5,000,000, (ii) the Revolving Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than
$50,000,000, (iii) no more than three reductions of the Revolving Commitments may be made during
the Availability Period, (iv) subject to Section 2.09(e), any reduction pursuant to this Section
2.09(c) shall be permanent and (v) the Borrowers shall not reduce the Revolving Commitments if,
after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section
2.10, the sum of the Revolving Exposures would exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments
and the Borrowing Base, Swingline Loans and LC Exposure.
(d) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any
election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section at least
five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying
such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by
the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a
notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower Representative may state that
such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such
notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or
prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Subject to Section
2.09(e), any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the
Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Commitments.
(e) Lenders agree that Borrower Representative may one time during the Availability Period, so
long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, deliver a written notice to
Administrative Agent and each Lender (an “
Increase Notice”) requesting an increase in the
Revolving Commitments (the “
Requested Revolver Increase”) not to exceed $25,000,000. The
Increase Notice shall be accompanied with a Compliance Certificate confirming that after giving
effect to the Requested Revolver Increase the financial covenants set for in Section 6.12 are in
compliance. If Borrower Representative delivers an Increase Notice, each Lender shall have the
option to participate in the Requested Revolver Increase upon terms and in amounts determined by
Administrative Agent by delivering a written notice to Administrative Agent and Borrower
Representative within ten (10) Business Days of such Lender’s receipt of the Increase Notice (it
being agreed and understood that such Lender shall be deemed to have elected not to participate in
the Requested Revolver Increase if it does not respond to the Increase Notice within fifteen (15)
Business Days of its receipt thereof). If one or more Lenders with Revolving Commitments elect not
to participate in the Requested Revolver Increase, or if such participation is for less than the
full amount of the Requested Revolver Increase, then Administrative Agent may, at its option and in
its separate capacities as a Lender, elect to participate in such remaining portion of the
Requested Revolver Increase. If there is less than full participation by existing Lenders with
Revolving Commitments in the Requested Revolver Increase after the foregoing procedures, then one
or more new Lenders acceptable to Administrative Agent and Borrower Representative may be added as
parties to this Agreement for purposes of participating in such remaining portion. After giving
effect to the procedures described in this paragraph, each Lender participating in the Requested
Revolver Increase
-35-
shall have its Revolving Commitment increase to the extent of its participation as determined
by Administrative Agent and, upon the request of such Lender, Borrowers will execute a replacement
promissory note for such Lender reflecting the increased amount of its Revolving Commitment.
Borrowers agree to execute such amendments and supplements to the Loan Documents and make such
repayments and reborrowings of Loans as Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary in
connection with a Requested Revolver Increase and further agree to pay to Administrative Agent an
arrangement fee in connection with the Requested Revolver Increase based upon the same percentage
used to calculate the arrangement fee payable by Borrowers to Administrative Agent on the Effective
Date; provided that Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay an arrangement fee with respect
to the Requested Revolver Increase if the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Commitments
after giving effect to such increase and any prior reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section
2.09(c) does not exceed $75,000,000.
Section 2.10 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a) The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity
Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance on the
earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent, (iii) to the Swingline Lender
the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the
first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and
is at least two (2) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made (provided that on each
date that a Revolving Loan is made, the Borrowers shall repay all Swingline Loans then
outstanding), and (iv) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid principal amount of each
Overadvance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent.
(b) At all times that full cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Security
Agreement, on each Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall apply all immediately available
funds credited to the Collection Account prior to 2:00 p.m., Chicago time on such Business Day plus
all immediately available funds credited after 2:00 p.m. on the previous Business Day,
first to prepay any Protective Advances and Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata,
and second to prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) and to cash
collateralize outstanding LC Exposure.
(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such
Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time
to time hereunder.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount
of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto,
(ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrowers 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.
(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 Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
-36-
(f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such
event, the Borrowers shall prepare, 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) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by
such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant
to Section 9.04) 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 2.11 Prepayment of Loans.
(a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any
Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (e) of this
Section.
(b) Except for Overadvances permitted under Section 2.05, in the event and on such occasion
that the total Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of (A) the aggregate Revolving Commitments or
(B) the Borrowing Base, the Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans, LC Exposure and/or
Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.
(c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of
any Loan Party in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrowers shall, immediately after such Net
Proceeds are received by such Loan Party, prepay the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11(e)
below in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds.
(d) All such amounts pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be applied, first to prepay any
Protective Advances and Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, and second to
prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) without a corresponding reduction in the
Revolving Commitment and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure.
(e) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of
prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by written notice of any prepayment hereunder
(i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m.,
Chicago time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment
of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, one Business Day before the
date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 11:00
a.m., Chicago time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be
prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional
notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of
prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09.
Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of
any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of
a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving
Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.
Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.
Section 2.12 Fees.
(a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a
commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily amount of the
-37-
Available Revolving Commitment during the period from and including the Effective Date to but
excluding the date on which the Lenders’ Revolving Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees
shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar month and on the date on which the
Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof.
All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days
(or three hundred sixty-six (366) days in a leap year) and shall be payable for the actual number
of days elapsed.
(b) The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which
shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to
Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any
portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including
the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure,
and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on
the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to
unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but
excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which
there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings
thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of
each calendar month shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing
on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall
be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing
after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees
payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after
demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of three
hundred sixty-five (365) days (or three hundred sixty-six (366) days in a leap year) and shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed.
(c) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable
in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent.
(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds,
to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for
distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid
shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
Section 2.13 Interest.
(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear
interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO
Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
(c) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall bear interest at the Alternate Base
Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans plus 2%.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the
-38-
Borrower Representative (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required
Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.02 requiring the consent of “each Lender
affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (i) all Loans shall bear interest
at 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of
this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, such amount shall
accrue at 2% plus the rate applicable to such fee or other obligation as provided hereunder.
(e) Accrued interest on each Loan (for ABR Loans, accrued through the last day of the prior
calendar month) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon
termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph
(d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of
any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability
Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of
such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior
to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable
on the effective date of such conversion.
(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty
(360) days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the
Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of three
hundred sixty-five (365) days (or three hundred sixty-six (366) days in a leap year), and in each
case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. The applicable Alternate Base Rate,
Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest.
If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO
Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or
(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by any Lender that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO
Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
such Lender of making or maintaining its Loan included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period
or that it is illegal for such Lender to make its Eurodollar Loans;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the
Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances
giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the
conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a
Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.
Section 2.15 Increased Costs.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
-39-
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the
Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or
(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market
any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender
or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to
increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining
any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or
the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will
pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the
Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if
any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of
Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below
that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the
Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company
with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such
reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be,
as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower
Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender
or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten
(10) days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right
to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to
compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or
reductions incurred more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date that such Lender or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s
intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in
Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments.
In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last
day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b)
the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto,
-40-
(c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date
specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked
under Section 2.09(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of
a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the
Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.
In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to
include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the
Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of
such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a
failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for
such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such
period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such
period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar
market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is
entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as
due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
Section 2.17 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes;
provided that if the Borrowers shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers
shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender
and the Issuing Bank, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of
any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of
the Borrowers hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative
by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a
Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the
Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
-41-
(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax
under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the
Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed
by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law
or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate.
(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers
or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17,
it shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made,
or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative
Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrowers, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the
Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such
Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be
construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or
any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any
other Person.
Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs.
(a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of
principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section
2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the date when due, in
immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time
on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on
the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments
shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 000 Xxxxx XxXxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxx, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly
provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be
made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such
payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly
following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business
Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case
of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such
extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. At all times that full cash dominion
is in effect pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Security Agreement, solely for purposes of determining
the amount of Loans available for borrowing purposes, checks (in addition to immediately available
funds applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b)) from collections of items of payment and proceeds of any
Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part against the Obligations, on the Business Day after
receipt, subject to actual collection.
(b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting
either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan
Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrowers), (B) a mandatory prepayment (which
shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11) or (C) amounts to be applied from the Collection
Account when full cash dominion is in effect (which shall be applied in accordance with Section
2.10(b)) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative
Agent so elects or
-42-
the Required Lenders so direct, such funds shall be applied ratably first, to pay any
fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent
and the Issuing Bank from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap
Obligations), second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders
from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations),
third, to pay interest due in respect of the Overadvances and Protective Advances,
fourth, to pay the principal of the Overadvances and Protective Advances, fifth, to
pay interest then due and payable on the Loans (other than the Overadvances and Protective
Advances) ratably, sixth, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than the Overadvances and
Protective Advances) and unreimbursed LC Disbursements ratably, seventh, to pay an amount
to the Administrative Agent equal to 105% of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding
Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of any unpaid LC Disbursements, to be held as cash
collateral for such Obligations, eighth any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services
and Swap Obligations and ninth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender by the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower Representative, or unless an Event
of Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment
which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan of a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the
Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent,
that there are no outstanding ABR Loans of the same Class and, in any such event, the Borrowers
shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and
reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations.
(c) At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC
Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all
reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the
Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a
request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in
this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with the
Administrative Agent; provided, that any such deduction shall first be made from deposit
accounts of the Borrower Representative before being deducted from deposit accounts of any other
Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent to make a
Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest, fees, premiums,
reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses
pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, as it becomes due
hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged
shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans and Overadvances, but such a Borrowing may only
constitute a Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in
Section 9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to
Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable (provided, however, that Administrative
Agent shall not make such a Borrowing for the purpose of paying any sum under the Loan Documents,
except principal, until the third (3rd) Business Day after such amount is due) and (ii)
the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with the
Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder
or any other amount due under the Loan Documents; provided, that such charge shall first be
made from deposit accounts of the Borrower Representative before being deducted from deposit
accounts of any other Borrower.
(d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in
LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon
than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion
shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements of other
-43-
Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by
the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any
such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of
such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed
to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms
of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or
sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee
or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the
provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to
the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation
pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor
of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower
Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment,
the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in
accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact
made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount
is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the
greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply
any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to
satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.17, then:
(a) such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another
of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17, as the
case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (and the Borrowers hereby agree
to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment); and
(b) if such Lender does not promptly make a designation or assignment under the preceding
clause (a), the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, require such Lender or any Lender
that defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder (herein, a “Departing Lender”),
upon notice to the Departing Lender and the Administrative Agent, to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in
-44-
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests,
rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Loan Document to an assignee that shall
assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment); provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) the Departing
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Sections
2.14 or 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result
in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Departing Lender shall not be required to make
any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.
Section 2.20 Returned Payments.
If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the
Obligations, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such
payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated,
declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible
setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part
thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue
in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or
such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any
contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance
upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.

securing the Secured Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Loan Party and all third
parties, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except in the case of (a)
Permitted Encumbrances, to the extent any such Permitted Encumbrances would have priority over the

Subsidiary.
Section 3.18 Common Enterprise.
The successful operation and condition of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on the
continued successful performance of the functions of the group of the Loan Parties as a whole and
the successful operation of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on the successful performance and
operation of each other Loan Party. Each Loan Party expects to derive benefit (and its board of
directors or other governing body has determined that it may reasonably be expected to derive
benefit), directly and indirectly, from (i) successful operations of each of the other Loan Parties

including without limitation the costs of such recall, the adverse impact of the loss of applicable
Accounts and any reasonably anticipated litigation;
then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrowers described in
clause (h) or (i) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such
event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to
the Borrower Representative, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different
times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately,
and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which
case any principal not so declared to
-71-
be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and
payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with
accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder,
shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of
any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers; and in case of any event with respect to
the Borrowers described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically
terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon
and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder, shall automatically become
due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby waived by the Borrowers. Upon the occurrence and the continuance of an Event of Default,
the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, exercise any rights
and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents or at law or equity,
including all remedies provided under the UCC.
ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent
Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent
as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including
execution of the Loan Documents (other than this Agreement), and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or
other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the
Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any
duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is
required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02
or specifically provided in this Agreement), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan
Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable
for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries
that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or
not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section
9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative
Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof
is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative or a Lender, and the
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i)
any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any
Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other
terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document
-72-
or any other agreement, instrument or document,
(v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the
Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any
Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for
any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs
shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any
such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication
of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in
this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the
Issuing Bank and the Borrower Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, with the Borrower Representative’s prior written consent so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, such consent not be unreasonably withheld, to appoint a
successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives
notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and
the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an
Affiliate of any such commercial bank with assets in surplus of $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance
of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed
to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall
be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and
such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative
Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each
Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.
Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on
behalf of the Administrative Agent; (b) the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or
-73-
warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the
information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report
and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not
comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will
inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the
Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and
that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the
Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the
Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this
Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained
in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative
Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions,
proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees)
incurred by as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of
any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by

applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative (on behalf of the Loan
Parties) may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder
by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval
of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. All such notices and

Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in
exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing
-75-
Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative
and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any
provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for
which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of
a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such
Default at the time.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may
be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement
or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or, (ii) in the
case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by
the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the
consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the
Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (provided that the
Administrative Agent may make Protective Advances as set forth in Section 2.04), (ii) reduce or
forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon,
or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each
Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal
amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other
Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or
postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each
Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (d) in a manner that would alter
the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) increase
the advance rates set forth in the definition of Borrowing Base without the written consent of all
Lenders, (vi) or add new categories of eligible assets, without the written consent of Required
Lenders, (vii) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders”
or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or
Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (viii)
release any Loan Guarantor from its obligation under its Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise
permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, or
(ix) except as provided in clauses (c) and (d) of this Section or in any Collateral Document,
release all of the Collateral or any portion in excess of $10,000,000 of the Collateral during any
calendar year, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no
such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. The
Administrative Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered
into pursuant to Section 9.04.
(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in
its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties
on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the all Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full
in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and the cash
collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to each affected Lender,
(ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Party disposing of such property
certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the
terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such
certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a
lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv)
as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any
exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article
-76-
VII. Except
as provided in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will not release any Liens on
Collateral without the prior written authorization of the each Lender; provided that, the
Administrative Agent may in its discretion, release its Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate
not in excess of $10,000,000 during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of
each Lender. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations
or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties
in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all
of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.
(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of
“each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained,
but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is
necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the
Borrowers may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement,
provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which
is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such
date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender
pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this
Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such
date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrowers
shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all
interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the
Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments
due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to
the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section
2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the
replacement Lender.
Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements
of counsel for the Administrative Agent and other advisors and professionals engaged by
Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without
limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities
provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents
or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender,
including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its
rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in
connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of
such Loans or Letters of Credit. Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrowers under this Section
include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, costs and expenses incurred in
connection with:
(i) appraisals (subject to Section 5.11) and insurance reviews
(provided that Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse Administrative
Agent or any Lender for any insurance reviews after the Effective Date in absence of
the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default);
-77-
(ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees
charged by a third party retained by the Administrative Agent or the internally
allocated fees for each Person employed by the Administrative Agent with respect to
each field examination (for which the Administrative Agent shall charge its standard
rate in effect from time to time, which rate is currently equal to $850 per day per
examiner, plus out of pocket expenses) (provided that in absence of the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall not be obligated
to reimburse Administrative Agent for more than (x) two field examinations in any
fiscal year in which aggregate Borrowings equaled or exceeded $1,000,000 at any time
during such fiscal year or (y) one field examination in any fiscal year in which
aggregate Borrowings failed to exceed $1,000,000 at any time during such fiscal
year);
(iii) background checks regarding senior management and/or key investors, as
deemed necessary or appropriate in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent;
(iv) taxes, fees and other charges for (A) lien searches and (B) filing
financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and
continue the Administrative Agent’s Liens;
(v) sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Loan Party under
the Loan Documents that such Loan Party fails to pay or take; and
(vi) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment,
and establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses
of preserving and protecting the Collateral.
All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to the Borrowers as Revolving Loans or to
another deposit account, all as described in Section 2.18(c).
(b) The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such
Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any
and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of
the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the
parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions
or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of
Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Borrower or any of their
Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower or any of their
Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall
not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties,
liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee.
(c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
-78-
Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the
time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid
amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand
therefor.
Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrowers may
not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrowers without
such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights
or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing
Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of
this Section) and, to the extent expressly provided hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign
to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior
written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:
(A) the Borrower Representative, provided that no consent of the
Borrower Representative shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, any other assignee;
(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the
Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate
of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C) the Issuing Bank, provided that no consent of the Issuing Bank
shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund.
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
-79-
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender
or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of
the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the
Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower
Representative and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that
no such consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing;
(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;
(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500;
(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee
designates one or more Credit Contacts to whom all syndicate-level information
(which may contain material non-public information about the Company, the Loan
Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made
available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s
compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and State securities
laws; and
(E) except in the case where an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Chase shall not assign its Revolving Commitment such that after giving
effect to such assignment, Chase, its Affiliates or an Approved Fund administered or
managed by Chase or an Affiliate of Chase will maintain an aggregate Revolving
Commitment of less than $10,000,000.
For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following
meaning:
“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in
making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the
ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an
Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a
Lender.
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations
of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from
its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not
comply with this Section 9.04 shall be
-80-
treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance
with paragraph (c) of this Section.
(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans
and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to
time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available
for inspection by the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by
an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative
Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the
processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any
written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the
assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to
be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c),
the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and
Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such
payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon.
No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);
provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to
which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that
such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification
or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject
to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled
to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though
it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it
were a Lender.
(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive
with
-81-
respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant that
would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits
of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower Representative is notified of the participation
sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.
(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall
not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such
pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Section 9.05 Survival.
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan
Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other
parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of
any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such
other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or
any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty
at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long
as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable
under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long
as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and
9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and other
Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the
termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate
letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire
contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including
without limitation any confidentiality agreement among the parties. Except as provided in Section
4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative
Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken
together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other
electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement.
Section 9.07 Severability.
Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions
-82-
thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 9.08 Right of Setoff.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to
or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or such Loan Guarantor against any of and all the
Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made
any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable
Lender shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or
application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not
affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each
Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of
setoff) which such Lender may have.
Section 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) The Loan Documents (other than those containing a contrary express choice of law
provision) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York,
but giving effect to Federal laws applicable to national banks.
(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its

right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party
or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it
may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT
IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN

AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
Section 9.11 Headings.

Section 9.12 Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a)
to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal
counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made

Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the
extent required by Requirement of Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any

the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any
actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating

(h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or
any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers. For the purposes of
this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to
the Borrowers or their business, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrowers; provided that, in the case of information received from the
Borrowers after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in
this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information.
EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT
TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY AND ITS
AFFILIATES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS

LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
-84-
ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWERS OR
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE
SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY,
THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH
LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS
ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL
NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING
FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
Section 9.13 Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law.
The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure
of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any
other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not
relying on or looking to any margin stock for the repayment of the Borrowings provided for herein.
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Issuing Bank nor
any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of any Requirement of
Law.
Section 9.14 USA PATRIOT Act.
Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L.
107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant
to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the names and addresses of the Borrowers and
other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.
Section 9.15 Disclosure.
Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent
and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other
relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates.
Section 9.16 Appointment for Perfection.
Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting
Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance
with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should
any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such
Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s
request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with
such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.
Section 9.17 Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable
to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on
such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum
lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or
reserved by the Lender holding such
-85-
Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest
payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof,
shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would
have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this
Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other
Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated
amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of
repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
Section 9.18 Maximum Liability of Borrowers.
The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any
State corporate law, or any State, Federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Borrower under
this Agreement would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on
account of the amount of such Borrower’s liability under this Agreement, then, notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any
further action by the Borrowers or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest
amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest
amount determined hereunder being the relevant Borrower’s “Maximum Liability”). This
Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Borrower is intended solely to preserve the
rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no
Borrower nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such
Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Borrower hereunder
shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Borrower agrees that the Secured
Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Borrower
without impairing this Agreement or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder,
provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Borrower’s
obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.
Section 9.19 Senior Obligations.
Each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants and acknowledges and agrees that the Secured
Obligations are and shall be considered “Senior Debt,” “Senior Indebtedness,” “Designated Senior
Debt” and “Designated Senior Indebtedness” or any similar term for all purposes related to the
Subordinated Notes and that the Secured Obligations shall be prior in right and time of payment and
performance with respect to the obligations set forth in the Subordinated Notes except as otherwise
permitted under Section 6.08.
ARTICLE X
Loan Guaranty
Section 10.01 Guaranty.
Each Loan Guarantor (other than those that have delivered a separate Guaranty) hereby agrees
that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety,
absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders the prompt payment when due, whether at
stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured
Obligations and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and
attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and
expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders in
endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any
action against, any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any
-86-
other guarantor of all or any part of the
Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, collectively
the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed
Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from
it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal.
All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or
foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 10.02 Guaranty of Payment.
This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives
any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to xxx any Borrower,
any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other person obligated for all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment
against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 10.03 No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty.
(a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder
are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or
termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed
Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement,
surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or
otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or
any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party,
or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or
(iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any
time against any Obligated Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any
other person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.
(b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or
unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable
law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof.
(c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender
to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any
agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity
of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other person liable for any
of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or
performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay
that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would
otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).
-87-
Section 10.04 Defenses Waived.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any
defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the
unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation
from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor, other than the indefeasible
payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest
and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any
requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any Obligated Party, or any
other person. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by
it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in
lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or
a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations,
make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy
available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the
liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed
Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though
that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of
reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated
Party or any security.
Section 10.05 Rights of Subrogation.
No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without
limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any
Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully
performed all their obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders and
the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated.
Section 10.06 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration.
If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any
Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to
that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether
or not the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders are in possession of this Loan
Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise
subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations
shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Lender.
Section 10.07 Information.
Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the
Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each
Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that neither the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan
Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.
-88-
Section 10.08 Termination.
The Lenders may continue to make loans or extend credit to the Borrowers based on this Loan
Guaranty until five (5) days after it receives written notice of termination or revocation of this
Loan Guaranty from any Loan Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Loan
Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Lenders for any Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed
or committed to prior to the fifth day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals,
extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of
that Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 10.09 Taxes.
All payments of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor free and clear
of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any
Loan Guarantor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments,
then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the
Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Guarantor shall make
such deductions and (iii) such Loan Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
Section 10.10 Maximum Liability.
The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving
any State corporate law, or any State, Federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor
under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or
unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty,
then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such
liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically
limited and reduced to the Maximum Liability. This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability
of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum
extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other Person
shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to
the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered
voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at
any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without
impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder,
provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.
Section 10.11 Contribution.
In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or
payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any
collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Loan
Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an
amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” of such payment or payments
made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each
Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by
a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by
reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date
(without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation
-89-
to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount
of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrowers after the date hereof
(whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of
all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving
effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the
extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Guarantor, the aggregate
amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from the Borrowers after the date hereof
(whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any
Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such
Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its
right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be
subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed
Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of both the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank,
the Lenders and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in
accordance with the terms hereof.
Section 10.12 Liability Cumulative.
The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to
and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan
Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without
any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other
liability specifically provides to the contrary.
Section 10.13 Borrower Guarantors.
Each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for the Obligations; provided, however in
the event that any Borrower is deemed by any Person (including any court of competent jurisdiction)
to be a guarantor (and not a co-obligor or co-borrower) of the Secured Obligations of any other
Borrower, the Loan Parties agree that such Borrower shall be considered a Loan Guarantor with
respect to such Secured Obligations and such guaranty shall be governed by the terms of this
Article X, mutatis mutandis.
ARTICLE XI
