WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Existing Banks and Bankers Trust Company,
as Agent, are parties to a Credit Agreement, dated as of December 18, 1997 and
amended and restated as of March 12, 1998 and amended and restated as of
September 24, 1998 (as so amended and restated and as the same has been further

WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend and restate the Second
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in the form of this Agreement to, inter
-----
alia, permit the Additional Revolver Refinancing, the SMT Merger, the SMT

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree that the Second Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement shall be and hereby is amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:
SECTION 1. Amount and Terms of Credit.
1.01 Commitments. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions
-----------
set forth herein, each Existing Tranche A Term Loan Bank severally agrees to
continue, on the Third Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Tranche A Term
Loans made by such Existing Tranche A Term Loan Bank to the Borrower pursuant to
the Original Credit Agreement and the First Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement and outstanding on the Third Restatement Effective Date (immediately
prior to giving effect thereto) (such Existing Tranche A Term Loans continued as
provided above, the "Tranche A Term Loans"), which Tranche A Term Loans:
(i) shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars;
(ii) except as hereafter provided, shall, at the option of the
Borrower, be continued and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate
Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that except as otherwise specifically
--------
provided in Section 1.10(b), all Tranche A Term Loans made as part of the
same Borrowing shall at all times consist of Tranche A Term Loans of the
same Type; and
(iii) shall not exceed for any Existing Tranche A Term Loan Bank, in
initial principal amount, that amount which equals the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Existing Tranche A Term Loans, if any,
made by such Existing Tranche A Term Loan Bank and outstanding on the Third
Restatement Effective Date (immediately prior to giving effect thereto) as
set forth on Schedule I hereto.
Once repaid, Tranche A Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.
(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth,
each RL Bank severally agrees, at any time and from time to time on and after
the Original Effective Date and prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, to
make a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a "Revolving Loan" and,
collectively, the "Revolving Loans") to the Borrower, which Revolving Loans:
(i) shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars;
(ii) shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and
maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans,
provided that except as otherwise specifically provided in Section
--------
1.10(b), all Revolving Loans made as part of the same Borrowing shall at
all times be of the same Type;
(iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the
provisions hereof;
(iv) shall not exceed for any Bank at any time outstanding that
aggregate principal amount which, when added to the product of (x) such
Bank's Adjusted RL Percentage and (y) the sum of (I) the aggregate amount
of all Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which
are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of,
the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) at such time and (II) the
aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans (exclusive of Swingline
Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the
incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) then
outstanding, equals the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Bank at such
time; and
(v) shall not exceed for all Banks at any time outstanding that
aggregate principal amount which, when added to (x) the aggregate amount of
all Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are
repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the
respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) at such time and (y) the
aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans (exclusive of Swingline
Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the
incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) then
outstanding, exceeds an amount equal to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment
then in effect.
(c) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth,
BTCo in its individual capacity agrees to make at any time and from time to time
on and after the Third Restatement Effective Date and prior to the Swingline
Expiry Date, a loan or loans to the
-2-
Borrower (each, a "Swingline Loan" and, collectively, the "Swingline Loans"),
which Swingline Loans:
(i) shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars;
(ii) shall be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans;
(iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions
hereof;
(iv) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding, when combined with the aggregate principal amount of (x) all
Revolving Loans made by Non-Defaulting Banks then outstanding and (y) the
aggregate amount of all the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time, an
amount equal to the Adjusted Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time
(after giving effect to any changes thereto on such date); and
(v) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding the Maximum Swingline Amount.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 1.01(c), (i) BTCo shall not
be obligated to make any Swingline Loans at a time when a Bank Default exists
unless BTCo has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to
eliminate BTCo's risk with respect to the Defaulting Bank's or Banks'
participation in such Swingline Loans, including by cash collateralizing such
Defaulting Bank's or Banks' RL Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans and
(ii) BTCo will not make a Swingline Loan after it has received written notice
from the Borrower or the Required Banks stating that a Default or an Event of
Default exists until such time as BTCo shall have received a written notice of
(i) rescission of such notice from the party or parties originally delivering
the same or (ii) a waiver of such Default or Event of Default from the Required
Banks.
(d) On any Business Day, BTCo may, in its sole discretion, give
notice to the XX Xxxxx that its outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with
a Borrowing of Revolving Loans (provided that each such notice shall be deemed
--------
to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of
Default under Section 10.05 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided
in the last paragraph of Section 10), in which case a Borrowing of Revolving
Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a "Mandatory
Borrowing") shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all XX
Xxxxx pro rata based on each RL Bank's Adjusted RL Percentage, and the proceeds
--- ----
thereof shall be applied directly to repay BTCo for such outstanding Swingline
Loans. Each RL Bank hereby irrevocably agrees to make Base Rate Loans upon one
Business Day's notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in
the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in
writing by BTCo notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing
may not comply with the Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder,
(ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 5 or 6 are then satisfied,
(iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
(iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing and (v) the amount of the Total
Revolving Loan Commitment or the Adjusted Total Revolving Loan Commitment at
such time. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be
made on the date
-3-
otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the
commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the
Borrower), each RL Bank (other than BTCo) hereby agrees that it shall forthwith
purchase from BTCo (without recourse or warranty) such assignment of the
outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the XX Xxxxx to share
in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Adjusted RL
Percentages (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving
Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 10), provided that
--------
(x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of BTCo
until the date the respective assignment is purchased and, to the extent
attributable to the purchased assignment, shall be payable to the RL Bank
purchasing same from and after such date of purchase (or, if earlier, from the
date on which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, so long as
the payments required by following clause (y) have in fact been made) and (y) at
the time any purchase of assignments pursuant to this sentence is actually made,
the purchasing RL Bank shall be required to pay BTCo interest on the principal
amount of assignment purchased for each day from and including the day upon
which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the
date of payment for such assignment, at the rate otherwise applicable to
Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter.
(e) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein,
each Existing Tranche B Term Loan Bank severally agrees to continue, on the
Third Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Tranche B Term Loans made by such
Existing Tranche B Term Loan Bank to the Borrower pursuant to the First Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement and outstanding on the Third Restatement Effective
Date (immediately prior to giving effect thereto) (such Existing Tranche B Term
Loans continued as provided above, the "Tranche B Term Loans"), which Tranche B
Term Loans:
(i) shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars;
(ii) except as hereafter provided, shall, at the option of the
Borrower, be continued and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate
Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that except as otherwise specifically
--------
provided in Section 1.10(b), all Tranche B Term Loans made as part of the
same Borrowing shall at all times consist of Tranche B Term Loans of the
same Type; and
(iii) shall not exceed for any Existing Tranche B Term Loan Bank, in
initial principal amount, that amount which equals the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Existing Tranche B Term Loans, if any,
made by such Existing Tranche B Term Loan Bank and outstanding on the Third
Restatement Effective Date (immediately prior to giving effect thereto) as
set forth on Schedule I hereto.
Once repaid, Tranche B Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.
(f) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein,
each Existing Tranche C Term Loan Bank severally agrees to continue, on the
Third Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Tranche C Term Loans made by such
Existing Tranche C Term Loan Bank to the Borrower pursuant to the Second Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement and outstanding
-4-
on the Third Restatement Effective Date (immediately prior to giving effect
thereto) (such Existing Tranche C Term Loans continued as provided above, the
"Tranche C Term Loans"), which Tranche C Term Loans:
(i) shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars;
(ii) except as hereafter provided, shall, at the option of the
Borrower, be continued and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate
Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that except as otherwise specifically
--------
provided in Section 1.10(b), all Tranche C Term Loans made as part of the
same Borrowing shall at all times consist of Tranche C Term Loans of the
same Type; and
(iii) shall not exceed for any Existing Tranche C Term Loan Bank, in
initial principal amount, that amount which equals the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Existing Tranche C Term Loans, if any,
made by such Existing Tranche C Term Loan Bank and outstanding on the Third
Restatement Effective Date (immediately prior to giving effect thereto) as
set forth on Schedule I hereto.
Once repaid, Tranche C Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.
(g) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein,
each Bank with a Tranche D Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make, on the
Third Restatement Effective Date, a term loan or term loans (each, a "Tranche D
Term Loan" and, collectively, the "Tranche D Term Loans") to the Borrower, which
Tranche D Term Loans:
(i) shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars;
(ii) except as hereafter provided, shall, at the option of the
Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate
Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that (x) except as otherwise
--------
specifically provided in Section 1.10(b), all Tranche D Term Loans made as
part of the same Borrowing shall at all times consist of Tranche D Term
Loans of the same Type and (y) unless the Agents have determined that the
Syndication Date has occurred (at which time this clause (y) shall no
longer be applicable), no more than three Borrowings of Tranche D Term
Loans to be maintained as Eurodollar Loans may be incurred prior to the
90th day after the Third Restatement Effective Date (or, if later, the last
day of the Interest Period applicable to the third Borrowing of Eurodollar
Loans referred to below), each of which Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans may
only have an Interest Period of one month, and the first of which
Borrowings may only be made on, or within five Business Days after, the
Third Restatement Effective Date, the second of which Borrowings may only
be made on the last day of the Interest Period of the first such Borrowing
and the third of which Borrowings may only be made on the last day of the
Interest Period of the second such Borrowing; and
(iii) shall not exceed for any Bank, in initial principal amount,
that amount which equals the Tranche D Term Loan Commitment of such Bank as
in effect on the Third
-5-
Restatement Effective Date (before giving effect to any reduction thereto
on such date pursuant to Section 3.03(b)).
Once repaid, Tranche D Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.
1.02 Minimum Borrowing Amounts, etc. The aggregate principal amount
-------------------------------
of each Borrowing of Loans under a respective Tranche shall not be less than the
Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to such Tranche, provided that Mandatory
--------
Borrowings shall be made in the amounts required by Section 1.01(d). More than
one Borrowing may be incurred on any day, provided that at no time shall there
--------
be outstanding more than nine Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans.

notice) specified in Section 1.01(d), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by
its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as
set forth in such Section 1.01(d).
(c) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to
confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the
Administrative Agent or BTCo (in the case of a Borrowing of Swingline Loans) or
the Letter of Credit Issuer (in the case of the issuance of Letters of Credit),
as the case may be, may prior to receipt of written confirmation act without
liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice, believed by the
Administrative Agent, BTCo or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be,
in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. In each such
case, the Administrative Agent's, BTCo's or the respective Letter of Credit
Issuer's, as the case may be, record of the terms of such telephonic notice
shall be conclusive evidence of the contents of such notice, absent manifest
error.
1.04 Disbursement of Funds. (a) Not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York
---------------------
time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of
Swingline Loans, not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified
in Section 1.03(b)(i) or (y) in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, not later than
12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date specified in Section 1.01(d)), each Bank
with a Commitment of the respective Tranche will make available its pro rata
--- ----
share (determined in accordance with Section 1.07), if any, of each Borrowing
requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, BTCo shall
make available the full amount thereof) in the manner provided below. All
amounts shall be made available to the Administrative Agent in U.S. Dollars and
in immediately available funds at the Payment Office and the Administrative
Agent promptly will make available to the Borrower by depositing to its account
at the Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type
of funds received. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by
any Bank prior to the date of Borrowing that such Bank does not intend to make
available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings
to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has
made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of
Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may
(in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to
the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in
fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Bank and the
Administrative Agent has made available same to the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such
Bank. If such Bank does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the
Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding
amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be
entitled to recover on demand from such Bank or the Borrower, as the case may
be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date
such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the
Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the
Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (x) if paid by such Bank, the
overnight Federal Funds Rate or (y) if paid by the Borrower, the then applicable
rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 1.08.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to relieve any Bank
from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any
rights which the Borrower may have against any Bank as a result of any default
by such Bank hereunder.

Borrowings of one or more Types of Loans under a single Tranche into a Borrowing
or Borrowings of another Type of Loan under such Tranche; provided that (i)
--------
except as otherwise provided in Section 1.10(b) or unless the Borrower pays all
breakage costs and other amounts owing to each Bank pursuant to Section 1.11
concurrently with any such conversion, Eurodollar Loans may be converted into
Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the
Loans being converted, and no partial conversion of a Borrowing of Eurodollar
Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans made
pursuant to such Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable
thereto, (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Base Rate Loans may
only be converted into Eurodollar Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in
existence on the date of the conversion,
-10-
(iii) unless the Agents have determined that the Syndication Date has occurred
(at which time this clause (iii) shall no longer be applicable), prior to the
90th day after the Third Restatement Effective Date, Tranche D Term Loans
maintained as Base Rate Loans may not be converted into Eurodollar Loans unless
any such conversion is effective on the first day of the first, second or third
Interest Period referred to in clause (y) of Section 1.01(g)(ii) and so long as
such conversion does not result in a greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar
Loans prior to the 90th day after the Third Restatement Effective Date as are
permitted under Section 1.01(g)(ii) and (iv) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans
resulting from this Section 1.06 shall be limited in number as provided in

time), at least three Business Days' (or one Business Day's in the case of a
conversion into Base Rate Loans) prior written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) (each, a "Notice of Conversion") specifying the
Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing(s) pursuant to which the Loans were made
and, if to be converted into a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest
Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give
each Bank prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its
Loans. Upon any such conversion, the proceeds thereof will be deemed to be
applied directly on the day of such conversion to prepay the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans being converted.
1.07 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Tranche A Term Loans,
-------------------
Tranche B Term Loans, Tranche C Term Loans, Tranche D Term Loans and Revolving

----
B Term Loan Borrowing Amounts, Tranche C Term Loan Borrowing Amounts, Tranche D
Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be, in each
case as in effect on the date of the respective Borrowing; provided that all
--------
Borrowings of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing shall be
incurred from the XX Xxxxx pro rata on the basis of their respective Adjusted RL
--- ----
Percentages. It is understood that no Bank shall be responsible for any default
by any other Bank of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Bank
shall be obligated to make the Loans to be made by it hereunder, regardless of
the failure of any other Bank to fulfill its commitments hereunder.

--------
Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the
earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base
Rate Loan and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan
pursuant to Section 1.06, at a rate per annum which shall at all times be the
relevant Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to
----
time.
(b) The unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan shall bear
interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the
maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurodollar Loan and (ii)
the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section
1.06, 1.09 or 1.10(b), as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall at all
times be the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Eurodollar Rate for such
----
Interest Period, each as in effect from time to time.
-11-
(c) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue
interest in respect of each Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to the greater of (x) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate borne by the
respective such Loans immediately prior to the respective payment default and
(y) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate
Loans from time to time. Interest which accrues under this Section 1.08(c)
shall be payable on demand.
(d) Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any
Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be
payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on each
Quarterly Payment Date, (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on (x) the date
of any conversion into a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 1.06, 1.09 or
1.10(b), as applicable (on the amount converted) and (y) the last day of each
Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in
excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after
the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) in respect of each Loan, on (x)
the date of any prepayment or repayment thereof (on the amount prepaid or
repaid), (y) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (z) after
such maturity, on demand.
(e) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in
accordance with Section 13.07(b).
(f) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent
shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for the respective Interest Period or
Interest Periods and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks thereof.
Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive
and binding on all parties hereto.
1.09 Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of
----------------
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion in respect of the making of, or conversion
into, a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (in the case of the initial Interest
Period applicable thereto) or prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the third
Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to a
Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period),
the Borrower shall have the right to elect by giving the Administrative Agent
written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the
Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at
the option of the Borrower (but otherwise subject to clause (y) of the proviso
to Section 1.01(g)(ii) and clause (iii) of the proviso to Section 1.06), be a
one, two, three or six month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained above:
(i) all Eurodollar Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times
have the same Interest Period;
(ii) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar
Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of
any conversion from a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and each Interest
Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on
the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto
expires;
-12-
(iii) if any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans
begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the
calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period
shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;
(iv) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which
is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next
succeeding Business Day, provided that if any Interest Period for any
--------
Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans would otherwise expire on a day which is not
a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business
Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next
preceding Business Day;
(v) no Interest Period for a Borrowing under a Tranche shall be
selected which would extend beyond the respective Maturity Date for such
Tranche;
(vi) no Interest Period may be elected at any time when a Default
or an Event of Default is then in existence;
(vii) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Revolving
Loans shall be elected which extends beyond any date upon which a Scheduled
Commitment Reduction will be required to be made under Section 3.03(c) if
the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Loans which have Interest
Periods which will expire after such date, when added to the Stated Amount
of all Letters of Credit which by their terms expire after such date, will
be in excess of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as the same will be in
effect after giving effect to the respective Scheduled Commitment
Reduction; and
(viii) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Tranche A
Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Tranche C Term Loans or Tranche D Term
Loans shall be elected which extends beyond any date upon which a Scheduled
Repayment of such Tranche of Term Loans will be required to be made under
Section 4.02(b) if, after giving effect to the election of such Interest
Period, the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche A Term Loans,
Tranche B Term Loans, Tranche C Term Loans or Tranche D Term Loans, as the
case may be, which have Interest Periods which will expire after such date
will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche A Term
Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Tranche C Term Loans or Tranche D Term Loans,
as the case may be, then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such
required Scheduled Repayment.
If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a
Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not
permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to the respective
Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to
have elected to convert such Borrowing into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans
effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

1.10 Increased Costs; Illegality; etc. (a) In the event that (x) in
---------------------------------
the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of
clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Bank, shall have determined (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding
upon all parties hereto):
(i) on any Interest Determination Date, that, by reason of any
changes arising after the Third Restatement Effective Date affecting the
interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for
ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the
definition of Eurodollar Rate; or
(ii) at any time, that such Bank shall incur increased costs or
reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to
any Eurodollar Loans because of (x) any change since the Third Restatement
Effective Date in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation,
guideline, order or request (whether or not having the force of law), or in
the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction
of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or
request, such as, for example, but not limited to, (A) a change in the
basis of taxation of payment to any Bank of the principal of or interest on
such Eurodollar Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for
changes with respect to any tax imposed on, or determined by reference to,
the net income, net profits or capital (including branch profits tax) of
such Bank or any franchise tax based on the net income or net profits of
such Bank pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Bank is
organized, or in which such Bank's principal office or applicable lending
office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein), or (B) a change
in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves
required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of
the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances affecting such Bank, the
interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Bank in such market; or
(iii) at any time since the Third Restatement Effective Date, that
the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has become unlawful by
compliance by such Bank with any law, governmental rule, regulation,
guideline or order (or would conflict with any governmental rule,
regulation, guideline, request or order not having the force of law but
with which such Bank customarily complies even though the failure to comply
therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result
of a contingency occurring after the Third Restatement Effective Date which
materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market;
then, and in any such event, such Bank (or the Administrative Agent in the case
of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in
writing) to the Borrower and (except in the case of clause (i)) to the
Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative
Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Banks). Thereafter, (x) in
the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available
until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Banks
that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no
longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion given by the
Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred
(including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y)
in the
-14-
case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of
Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Bank, upon written
demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of,
or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Bank in its
sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Bank
for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable
hereunder but without duplication of any payments due under Section 4.04 (a
written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Bank, showing in
reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the
Borrower by such Bank shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and
binding upon all parties hereto, although the failure to give any such notice
shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower's obligations to pay
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.10(a) upon the subsequent receipt
of such notice) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall
take one of the actions specified in Section 1.10(b) as promptly as possible
and, in any event, within the time period required by law.
(b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the
circumstances described in Section 1.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and
in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(iii), the
Borrower shall) either (i) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made
pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel said Borrowing by giving the Administrative
Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date
that the Borrower was notified by a Bank pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(ii) or
(iii)), or (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at
least three Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent, require the
affected Bank to convert each such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan (which
conversion, in the case of the circumstance described in Section 1.10(a)(iii),
shall occur no later than the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to
such Eurodollar Loan or such earlier day as shall be required by applicable
law); provided that if more than one Bank is affected at any time, then all
--------
affected Banks must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 1.10(b).
(c) If any Bank shall have determined that after the Third
Restatement Effective Date, the adoption or effectiveness of any applicable law,
rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by such Bank or any corporation
controlling such Bank with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on such Bank's or such other corporation's capital or assets as a consequence of
such Bank's Commitment or Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder to
a level below that which such Bank or such other corporation could have achieved
but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into
consideration such Bank's or such other corporation's policies with respect to
capital adequacy), then from time to time, upon written demand by such Bank
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), accompanied by the notice referred to
in the last sentence of this clause (c), the Borrower agrees, subject to the
provisions of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Bank such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such other
corporation for such reduction in the rate of return to such Bank or such other
corporation. Each Bank, upon determining in good faith that any additional
amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 1.10(c), will give prompt
written
-15-
notice thereof to the Borrower (a copy of which shall be sent by such Bank to
the Administrative Agent), which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the
basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to
give any such notice shall not release or diminish the Borrower's obligations to
pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.10(c) upon the subsequent
receipt of such notice. A Bank's reasonable good faith determination of
compensation owing under this Section 1.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be
final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.
1.11 Compensation. The Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of
------------
Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable), to compensate each Bank, promptly upon
its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the
basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
required by such Bank to fund its Eurodollar Loans) which such Bank may sustain:
(i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Bank or any Agent) a
Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a
date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion given
by the Borrower (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn
pursuant to Section 1.10(a)); (ii) if any repayment (including any repayment
made pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the
Loans pursuant to Section 10 or as a result of the replacement of a Bank
pursuant to Section 1.13 or 13.12(b)) or conversion of any Eurodollar Loans of
the Borrower occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Loans is not made
on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv)
as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay its
Eurodollar Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (y) an election
made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 1.10(b). Each Bank's calculation of the
amount of compensation owing pursuant to this Section 1.11 shall be made in good
faith. A Bank's basis for requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 1.11
and a Bank's calculation of the amount thereof, shall, absent manifest error, be
final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
1.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Bank agrees that, upon the
------------------------
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.10(a)(ii) or
(iii), 1.10(c), 2.05 or 4.04 with respect to such Bank, it will, if requested by
the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations
of such Bank) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of
Credit affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such
--------
terms that, in the sole judgment of such Bank, such Bank and its lending office
suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of
avoiding the consequences of the event giving rise to the operation of any such
Section. Nothing in this Section 1.12 shall affect or postpone any of the
obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Bank provided in Section 1.10,
2.05 or 4.04.

respect to any Bank which results in such Bank charging to the Borrower
increased costs in a material amount in excess of those being generally charged
by the other Banks or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Bank to consent to a
proposed

Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with Section 13.04(b), if no
Default or Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to
such replacement, to replace such Bank (the "Replaced Bank") with one or more
other Eligible Transferee or Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a
Defaulting Bank at the time of such replacement (collectively, the "Replacement
Bank") and each of whom shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent or, at the option of the Borrower, to replace only (a) the Revolving Loan
Commitment (and outstandings pursuant thereto) of the Replaced Bank with an
identical Revolving Loan Commitment provided by the Replacement Bank or (b) in
the case of a replacement as provided in Section 13.12(b) where the consent of
the respective Bank is required with respect to less than all Tranches of its

respect of each Tranche where the consent of such Bank would otherwise be
individually required, with identical Commitments and/or Loans of the respective
Tranche provided by the Replacement Bank; provided that:

being replaced) that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such
Replaced Bank, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto
at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore
unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Bank (but only with respect to the

hereunder, the Replaced Bank shall cease to constitute a Bank hereunder, except
with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2.05, 4.04, 13.01 and 13.06), which

SECTION 2. Letters of Credit.
2.01 Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and
-----------------
conditions herein set forth, the Borrower may request a Letter of Credit Issuer
at any time and from time to time on or after the Third Restatement Effective
Date and prior to the tenth Business Day (or the 30th day in the case of Trade
Letters of Credit) preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date to issue, (x) for
the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of any holder (or any trustee,
agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of L/C Supportable
Indebtedness, irrevocable sight standby letters of credit in a form customarily
used by such Letter of Credit Issuer or in such other form as has been approved
by such Letter of Credit Issuer (each such standby letter of credit, a "Standby
Letter of Credit") in support of such L/C Supportable Indebtedness and (y) for
the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of sellers of goods to the
Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor in the ordinary course of business,

Letter of Credit Issuer (each such trade letter of credit, a "Trade Letter of
Credit", and each such Standby Letter of Credit and Trade Letter of Credit, a
"Letter of Credit" and, collectively, the "Letters of Credit").
(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein,
each Letter of Credit Issuer hereby agrees that it will, at any time and from
time to time on and after the Third Restatement Effective Date and prior to the
tenth Business Day (or the 30th day in the case of Trade Letters of Credit)
preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, following its receipt of the
respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for the account of the Borrower one
or more Letters of Credit, (x) in the case of Trade Letters of Credit, in
support of trade obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor that
arise in the ordinary course of business or (y) in the case of
-18-
Standby Letters of Credit, in support of such L/C Supportable Indebtedness as is
permitted to remain outstanding hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of
Credit if at the time of such issuance:
(i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or
arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Letter of
Credit Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law
applicable to such Letter of Credit Issuer or any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority
with jurisdiction over such Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit, or
request that such Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of
letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall
impose upon such Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letter of
Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such
Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the
date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not
applicable, in effect or known to such Letter of Credit Issuer as of the
date hereof and which such Letter of Credit Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx
material to it; or
(ii) such Letter of Credit Issuer shall have received written
notice from the Borrower or the Required Banks prior to the issuance of
such Letter of Credit of the type described in clause (vi) of Section
2.01(c) or the last sentence of Section 2.02(b).
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be
issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit
Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and
prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time, would
exceed either (x) $15,000,000 or (y) when added to the aggregate principal
amount of all Revolving Loans made by the Non-Defaulting Banks and then
outstanding and all Swingline Loans then outstanding, the Adjusted Total
Revolving Loan Commitment at such time; (ii) (x) each Standby Letter of Credit
shall have an expiry date occurring not later than one year after such Standby
Letter of Credit's date of issuance, provided that any such Standby Letter of
--------
Credit may be extendable for successive periods of up to one year, but not
beyond the tenth Business Day preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, on
terms acceptable to the Letter of Credit Issuer and (y) each Trade Letter of
Credit shall have an expiry date occurring not later than 180 days after such
Trade Letter of Credit's date of issuance; (iii) (x) no Standby Letter of Credit
shall have an expiry date occurring later than the tenth Business Day preceding
the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and (y) no Trade Letter of Credit shall have an
expiry date occurring later than 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity
Date; (iv) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars; (v) the
Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 or such
lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Letter of Credit Issuer; and
(vi) no Letter of Credit Issuer will issue any Letter of Credit after it has
received written notice from the Borrower or the Required Banks stating that a
Default or an Event of Default exists until such time as such Letter of Credit
Issuer shall have received a written notice of (x) rescission of such notice
from the party or parties originally delivering the same or (y) a waiver of such
Default or Event of Default by the Required Banks.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Bank Default
exists, no Letter of Credit Issuer shall be required to issue any Letter of
Credit unless the respective Letter of
-19-
Credit Issuer has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower
to eliminate such Letter of Credit Issuer's risk with respect to the
participation in Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Bank or Banks, including by
cash collateralizing such Defaulting Bank's or Banks' Adjusted RL Percentage of
the Letter of Credit Outstandings, as the case may be.
(e) Schedule XI hereto contains a description of all letters of
credit issued pursuant to the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and
the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and outstanding on the Third
Restatement Effective Date. Each such letter of credit, including any extension
or renewal thereof (each, as amended from time to time in accordance with the
terms hereof and thereof, an "Existing Letter of Credit") shall constitute a
"Letter of Credit" for all purposes of this Agreement, issued, for purposes of
Section 2.03(a), on the Third Restatement Effective Date. In addition, each
letter of credit designated as a "Standby Letter of Credit" or "Trade Letter of
Credit" on Schedule XI shall constitute a "Standby Letter of Credit" or "Trade
Letter of Credit"
2.02 Letter of Credit Requests. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires
-------------------------
that a Letter of Credit be issued, the Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent and the respective Letter of Credit Issuer written notice thereof prior to
12:00 Noon (New York time) at least five Business Days (or such shorter period
as may be acceptable to the respective Letter of Credit Issuer) prior to the
proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day) which written notice
shall be in the form of Exhibit C (each, a "Letter of Credit Request"). Each
Letter of Credit Request shall include any other documents as such Letter of
Credit Issuer customarily requires in connection therewith.
(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be
a representation and warranty by the Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be
issued in accordance with, and it will not violate the requirements of, Section
2.01(c). Unless the respective Letter of Credit Issuer has received notice from
any Agent or the Required Banks before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or
more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5 or 6, as the case may
be, are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would
violate Section 2.01(c), then such Letter of Credit Issuer may issue the
requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with
such Letter of Credit Issuer's usual and customary practice.
2.03 Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the
-------------------------------
issuance by a Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, such Letter of
Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other RL
Bank, and each such RL Bank (each, a "Participant") shall be deemed irrevocably
and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Letter of Credit
Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation,
to the extent of such Participant's Adjusted RL Percentage, in such Letter of
Credit, each substitute Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder and the
obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto (although
Letter of Credit Fees shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the XX Xxxxx as provided in Section 3.01(b) and the Participants
shall have no right to receive any portion of any Facing Fees with respect to
such Letters of Credit) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining
thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or the Adjusted RL
Percentages of the XX Xxxxx pursuant to Section 1.13 or 13.04(b) or as a result
of a Bank Default, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to
-20-
all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings with respect thereto,
there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this
Section 2.03 to reflect the new Adjusted RL Percentages of the assigning and
assignee Bank or of all XX Xxxxx, as the case may be.
(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no
Letter of Credit Issuer shall have any obligation relative to the Participants
other than to determine that any documents required to be delivered under such
Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to substantially
comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action
taken or omitted to be taken by any Letter of Credit Issuer under or in
connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it if taken or omitted in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for such
Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.
(c) In the event that any Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment
under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have
reimbursed such amount in full to the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.04(a), such Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Participant of such failure, and each such Participant shall promptly and
unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter
of Credit Issuer, the amount of such Participant's Adjusted RL Percentage of
such payment in U.S. Dollars and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent
so notifies any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit
prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Participant shall
make available to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office for the account
of the respective Letter of Credit Issuer such Participant's Adjusted RL
Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds
(and, to the extent such notice is given after 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any
Business Day, such Participant shall make such payment on the immediately
following Business Day). If and to the extent such Participant shall not have
so made its Adjusted RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Letter of Credit
Issuer, such Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand such amount,
together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such
amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of
Credit Issuer at the overnight Federal Funds Rate. The failure of any
Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
respective Letter of Credit Issuer its Adjusted RL Percentage of any payment
under any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not relieve any other Participant
of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer its applicable Adjusted RL
Percentage of any payment under any such Letter of Credit on the date required,
as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of
any other Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Letter of Credit Issuer such other Participant's Adjusted RL
Percentage of any such payment.
(d) Whenever any Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment of a
reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for
the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the Participants
pursuant to clause (c) above, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay to the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly
-21-
pay to each Participant which has paid its Adjusted RL Percentage thereof, in
U.S. Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant's
Adjusted RL Percentage of the principal amount thereof and interest thereon
accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.
(e) Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall, promptly after each issuance
of, or amendment or modification to, a Standby Letter of Credit issued by it,
give the Administrative Agent, each Participant and the Borrower written notice
of the issuance of, or amendment or modification to, such Standby Letter of
Credit. The Administrative Agent shall, upon request from any Participant,
furnish to such Participant copies of each such Standby Letter of Credit and
each such amendment or modification thereto.
(f) Each Letter of Credit Issuer (other than BTCo) shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent, promptly on the first Business Day of each week, by
facsimile transmission, the aggregate daily Stated Amount available to be drawn
under the outstanding Trade Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit
Issuer for the previous week. The Administrative Agent shall, within 10 days
after the last Business Day of each calendar month, deliver to each Participant
a report setting forth for such preceding calendar month the aggregate daily
Stated Amount available to be drawn under all outstanding Trade Letters of
Credit during such calendar month.
(g) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Letter of Credit Issuer
with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and not
subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or
exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without
limitation, any of the following circumstances:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or
any of the other Credit Documents;
(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right
which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against
a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of
Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any
Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Bank, or other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions
contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying
transaction between the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the
beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);
(iii) any draft, certificate or other document presented under the
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect;
(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the
performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit
Documents; or
(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.
-22-
2.04 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) The Borrower
--------------------------------------------
hereby agrees to reimburse each Letter of Credit Issuer, by making payment to
the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office,
for any payment or disbursement made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under any
Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount so paid or disbursed until
reimbursed, an "Unpaid Drawing") immediately after, and in any event on the date
of such payment or disbursement, with interest on the amount so paid or
disbursed by such Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to
1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and
including the date paid or disbursed to but not including the date such Letter
of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum which shall be the
then Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans plus
the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time (plus an additional 2% per
annum if not reimbursed by the third Business Day after the date of such payment
or disbursement), such interest also to be payable on demand; provided, that it
--------
is understood and agreed, however, that the notices referred to above in this
clause (a) shall not be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default
under such Section 10.05 shall have occurred and be continuing (in which case
the Unpaid Drawings shall be due and payable immediately without presentment,
demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by each
Credit Party) and shall bear interest at a rate per annum which shall be (x)
until the third Business Day following the respective Drawing, the Applicable
Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate,
each as in effect from time to time, and (y) at all times on and after the third
Business Day following the respective Drawing, the rate per annum specified in
preceding clause (x) plus 2%). Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall provide the
Borrower prompt notice of any payment or disbursement made by it under any
Letter of Credit issued by it, although the failure of, or delay in, giving any
such notice shall not release or diminish the obligations of the Borrower under
this Section 2.04(a) or under any other Section of this Agreement.
(b) The Borrower's obligation under this Section 2.04 to reimburse
the respective Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to drawings on Letters of
Credit (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff,
counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
may have or have had against such Letter of Credit Issuer, any Agent or any
Bank, including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any
drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it to conform to the terms of the
Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of
the proceeds of such drawing; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be
-------- -------
obligated to reimburse such Letter of Credit Issuer for any wrongful payment
made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a
result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence
on the part of such Letter of Credit Issuer as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction.
2.05 Increased Costs. If after the Third Restatement Effective Date,
---------------
any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Participant determines that the adoption or
effectiveness of any applicable law, rule or regulation, order, guideline or
request or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Participant with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) by any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency shall either (i) impose,
-23-
modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar
requirement against Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer or
such Participant's participation therein (except as contemplated by Section
4.04), or (ii) impose on any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Participant any
other conditions directly or indirectly affecting this Agreement, any Letter of
Credit or such Participant's participation therein; and the result of any of the
foregoing is to increase the cost to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such
Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Letter of Credit
Issuer or such Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital
with respect to Letters of Credit, then, upon written demand to the Borrower by
such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant (a copy of which notice shall
be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant to the
Administrative Agent), accompanied by the certificate described in the last
sentence of this Section 2.05, the Borrower agrees, subject to the provisions of
Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Letter of Credit Issuer
or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant for such increased cost or
reduction. A certificate submitted to the Borrower by such Letter of Credit
Issuer or such Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate
shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant to the
Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the
determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Letter of Credit Issuer or such Participant as aforesaid shall be final and
conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error, although the
failure to deliver any such certificate shall not release or diminish the
Borrower's obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.05
upon subsequent receipt of such certificate.
SECTION 3. Fees; Commitments.
3.01 Fees. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent
----
for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Bank with a Revolving Loan Commitment, a
commitment fee (the "RL Commitment Fee") for the period from the Original
Effective Date to but not including the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such
earlier date as the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall have been terminated),
computed at a rate for each day equal to the Applicable RL Commitment Fee
Percentage then in effect on the daily average Unutilized Revolving Loan
Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Bank. Accrued RL Commitment Fees shall be due
and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date upon which the Total
Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated).
(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for pro rata
--- ----
distribution to each Non-Defaulting Bank with a Revolving Loan Commitment (based
on their respective Adjusted RL Percentages), a fee in respect of each Letter of
Credit (the "Letter of Credit Fee") computed at a rate per annum equal to the
Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as Eurodollar Loans then in
effect on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of
Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly
Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total
Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.
(c) The Borrower shall pay to each Letter of Credit Issuer a fee in
respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer (the
"Facing Fee") computed at the rate of
-24-
1/4 of 1% per annum on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit;
provided that in no event shall the annual Facing Fee with respect to each
--------
Letter of Credit be less than $500; it being agreed that (x) on the date of
issuance of any Letter of Credit and on each anniversary thereof prior to the
termination of such Letter of Credit, if $500 will exceed the amount of Facing
Fees that will accrue with respect to such Letter of Credit for the immediately
succeeding 12-month period, the full $500 shall be payable on the date of
issuance of such Letter of Credit and on each such anniversary thereof prior to
the termination of such Letter of Credit and (y) if on the date of the
termination of any Letter of Credit, $500 actually exceeds the amount of Facing
Fees paid or payable with respect to such Letter of Credit for the period
beginning on the date of the issuance thereof (or if the respective Letter of
Credit has been outstanding for more than one year, the date of the last
anniversary of the issuance thereof occurring prior to the termination of such
Letter of Credit) and ending on the date of the termination thereof, an amount
equal to such excess shall be paid as additional Facing Fees with respect to

Revolving Loan Commitment of such RL Bank as in effect immediately before giving
effect to such reduction minus (B) such RL Bank's Adjusted RL Percentage of the

(including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 1.11 but excluding
amounts owing in respect of any Tranche of Term Loans maintained by such Bank,
if such Term Loans are not being repaid pursuant to Section 13.12(b)) are repaid
concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination (at which time Schedule
I shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and at such time,
unless the respective Bank continues to have outstanding Loans or Commitments of
any Tranche hereunder, such Bank shall no longer constitute a "Bank" for
purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2.05, 4.04, 13.01

Repayments of the respective
-28-
Tranche in direct order of maturity (based upon the then remaining
principal amounts of the Scheduled Repayments of the respective Tranche
after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).
4.02 Mandatory Repayments and Commitment Reductions. (a) (i) If on

any date the sum of (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving
Loans made by Non-Defaulting Banks and Swingline Loans (after giving effect to

application would otherwise be required pursuant to this Section 4.02(f) in the
form described in clause (x) above and also certifying its determination as
required by preceding clause (b) and certifying the sufficiency of business
interruption insurance as required by succeeding clause (d), and (d) an
Authorized Officer of the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent
such evidence as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent establishing that
the Borrower has sufficient business interruption insurance and that the
Borrower will receive payment thereunder in such amounts and at such times as
are necessary to satisfy all obligations and expenses of the Borrower
(including, without limitation, all debt service requirements, including
pursuant to this Agreement), without any delay or extension thereof, for the
period from the date of the respective casualty, condemnation or other event
giving rise to the Recovery Event and continuing through the completion of the
replacement or restoration of respective properties or assets, then the entire
amount of the proceeds of such Recovery Event and not just the portion in excess
of $2,500,000 shall be deposited with the Administrative Agent pursuant to a
cash collateral arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
whereby such proceeds shall be disbursed to the Borrower from time to time as
needed to pay or reimburse the Borrower or such Subsidiary actual costs incurred
by it in connection with the replacement or restoration of the respective
properties or assets (pursuant to such certification requirements as may be
established by the Administrative Agent), provided further, that at any time
----------------
while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Banks may
direct the Administrative Agent (in which case the Administrative Agent shall,
and is hereby authorized by the Borrower to, follow said directions) to apply
any or all proceeds then on deposit in such collateral account to the repayment
of Obligations hereunder in the same manner as proceeds would be applied
pursuant to the Security Agreement, and provided further, that if all or any
----------------
portion of such proceeds not required to be applied as a mandatory repayment
and/or commitment reduction pursuant to the second preceding proviso (whether
pursuant to clause (x) or (y) thereof) are either (A) not so used or committed
to be so used within 360 days after the date of the respective Recovery Event or
(B) if committed to be used within 360 days after the date of receipt of such
net proceeds and not so used within 18 months after the date of respective
Recovery Event then, in either such case, such
-35-
remaining portion not used or committed to be used in the case of preceding
clause (A) and not used in the case of preceding clause (B) shall be applied on
the date occurring 360 days after the date of the respective Recovery Event in
the case of clause (A) above or the date occurring 18 months after the date of
the respective Recovery Event in the case of clause (B) above as a mandatory
repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of
Sections 4.02(h) and (i).
(g) In addition to any other mandatory repayments or commitment
reductions pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each Excess Cash Flow Payment Date,
an amount equal to the Applicable Excess Cash Flow Percentage of the Adjusted
Excess Cash Flow for the relevant Excess Cash Flow Payment Period shall be
applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with
the requirements of Sections 4.02(h) and (i).
(h) Each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 4.02(c),
(d), (e), (f) and (g) in accordance with this Section 4.02(h) shall be applied
(i) first, to repay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans, with each
such amount required to be applied to repay outstanding Term Loans to be applied
pro rata to each Tranche of Term Loans based upon the then remaining principal
--- ----
amounts of the respective Tranches (with each Tranche of Term Loans to be
allocated that percentage of the amount to be applied as is equal to a fraction
(expressed as a percentage) the numerator of which is equal to the then
outstanding principal amount of such Tranche of Term Loans and the denominator
of which is equal to the then outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans),
(ii) second, to the extent in excess of the amounts required to be applied
pursuant to preceding clause (i), to reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment
(it being understood and agreed that (x) the amount of any reduction to the
Total Revolving Loan Commitment as provided in immediately preceding clause (ii)
shall be deemed to be an application of proceeds for purposes of this Section
4.02(h) even though cash is not actually applied and (y) in connection with any
such reduction to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, any cash received by the
Borrower or such Subsidiary in connection with the event giving rise to such
reduction will be retained by such Person except to the extent that such cash is
otherwise required to be applied as provided in Section 4.02(a) as a result of
such reduction to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment). All repayments or
commitment reductions, as the case may be, of (x) outstanding Term Loans, on the
one hand and (y) Revolving Loan Commitments, on the other hand, pursuant to
Sections 4.02(c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) shall be applied to reduce the then
remaining Scheduled Repayments of the respective Tranche of Term Loans (in the
case of preceding clause (x)) or Scheduled Commitment Reductions (in the case of
preceding clause (y)), on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining
--- ----
Scheduled Repayments of the respective Tranche or Scheduled Commitment
Reductions, as the case may be, after giving effect to all prior reductions
thereto).
(i) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section
4.02, the Borrower may designate the Types of Loans of the respective Tranche
which are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific
Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to which made,
provided that: (i) repayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02
--------
may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless
(x) all Eurodollar Loans of the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending
on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans of the respective
Tranche have been paid in full
-36-
and/or (y) concurrently with such repayment, the Borrower pays all breakage
costs and other amounts owing to each Bank pursuant to Section 1.11; (ii) if any
repayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce
the outstanding Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount
less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall
be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period into a Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each repayment of any Tranche of Loans made pursuant
to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Tranche of Loans. In the
--- ----
absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence,
the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in
its sole discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs
owing under Section 1.11. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4.02, if at any time the mandatory repayment of Loans pursuant to
Section 4.02(c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) would result, after giving effect to the
procedures set forth in this clause (i) above, in the Borrower incurring
breakage costs under Section 1.11 as a result of Eurodollar Loans being repaid
other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (any such
Eurodollar Loans, "Affected Loans"), the Borrower may elect, by written notice
to the Administrative Agent, to have the provisions of the following sentence be
applicable. At the time any Affected Loans are otherwise required to be prepaid
the Borrower may elect to deposit 100% (or such lesser percentage elected by the
Borrower as not being repaid) of the principal amounts that otherwise would have
been paid in respect of the Affected Loans with the Administrative Agent to be
held as security for the obligations of the Borrower hereunder pursuant to a
cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, with such cash collateral to be released from such
cash collateral account (and applied to repay the principal amount of such
Eurodollar Loans) upon each occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest
Period applicable to Eurodollar Loans of the respective Tranche (or such earlier
date or dates as shall be requested by the Borrower), with the amount to be so
released and applied on the last day of each Interest Period to be the amount of
such Eurodollar Loans to which such Interest Period applies (or, if less, the
amount remaining in such cash collateral account).
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in
this Agreement, (i) all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full
on the Swingline Expiry Date and (ii) all other then outstanding Loans shall be
repaid in full on the respective Maturity Date for such Loans.
4.03 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically
---------------------------
provided herein, all payments under this Agreement or any Note shall be made to
the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Bank or Banks entitled
thereto not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date when due and shall
be made in immediately available funds and in U.S. Dollars at the Payment
Office. Any payments under this Agreement or under any Note which are made
later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) shall be deemed to have been made on the
next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or
under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day,
the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and,
with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such
extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.
-37-
4.04 Net Payments. (a) All payments made by the Borrower hereunder
------------
or under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.
Except as provided in Section 4.04(b), all such payments will be made free and
clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature
now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but
excluding, except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, any tax imposed
on or measured by the net income, net profits or capital (including branch
profits tax) of a Bank pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is
organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable
lending office of such Bank is located or any subdivision thereof or therein)
and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such
nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges
(all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other
charges being referred to collectively as "Taxes"). If any Taxes are so levied
or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such
additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due
under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on
account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in
such Note. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the
preceding sentence, the Borrower agrees to reimburse each Bank, upon the written
request of such Bank, for taxes imposed on or measured by the net income, net
profits or capital (including branch profits tax) of such Bank pursuant to the
laws of the jurisdiction in which such Bank is organized or in which the
principal office or applicable lending office of such Bank is located or under
the laws of any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such
jurisdiction in which such Bank is organized or in which the principal office or
applicable lending office of such Bank is located and for any withholding of
taxes as such Bank shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Bank
in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Bank pursuant to the
preceding sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such
Bank pursuant to this sentence. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative
Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to
applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the
Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Bank, and
reimburse such Bank upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so
levied or imposed and paid by such Bank.
(b) Each Bank party to this Agreement on the Third Restatement
Effective Date hereby represents that, as of the Third Restatement Effective
Date, all payments of principal, interest, and fees to be made to it by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement will be totally exempt from withholding of
United States federal tax. Each Bank that is not a United States person (as
such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income
tax purposes agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on
or prior to the Original Effective Date (or the First Restatement Effective
Date, the Second Restatement Effective Date or the Third Restatement Effective
Date in the case of any Bank that first becomes a party hereto on the First
Restatement Effective Date, the Second Restatement Effective Date or the Third
Restatement Effective Date, as the case may be), or in the case of a Bank that
is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to
Section 1.13 or 13.04 (unless the respective Bank was already a Bank hereunder
immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such
assignment or transfer to such Bank, (i) two accurate and
-38-
complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-
8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or
successor forms or, in the case of any delivery prior to the Third Restatement
Effective Date, predecessor form) certifying to such Bank's entitlement to a
complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments
to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the Bank is not a
"bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver
either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN (with respect to a
complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or, in the case of any delivery
prior to the Third Restatement Effective Date, predecessor form) pursuant to
clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any
such certificate, a "Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate") and (y) two accurate and
complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN with
respect to the portfolio interest exemption (or successor form or, in the case
of any delivery prior to the Third Restatement Effective Date, predecessor form)
certifying to such Bank's entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption
from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be
made under this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Bank agrees that
from time to time after the Third Restatement Effective Date, when a lapse in
time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or
inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits
of an income tax treaty), Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of an income
tax treaty), Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and
a Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as
may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Bank to
a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with
respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, or it shall immediately
notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any
such Form or Certificate in which case such Bank shall not be required to
deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 4.04(b).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.04(a), but
subject to Section 13.04(b) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the
Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to
deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest,
fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Bank which is not
a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the
Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Bank has not
provided to the Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a
complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the Borrower shall
not be obligated pursuant to Section 4.04(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be
made to a Bank in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United
States if (I) such Bank has not provided to the Borrower the Internal Revenue
Service Forms required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Section
4.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Bank
described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such Forms do not establish a
complete exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section
4.04 and except as set forth in Section 13.04(b), the Borrower agrees to pay
additional amounts and to indemnify each Bank in the manner set forth in Section
4.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the
deduction or withholding) in respect of any Taxes deducted or withheld by them
as described in
-39-
the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes after the Third
Restatement Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule,
regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to
the deducting or withholding of such Taxes (or, if later, the date such Bank
became party to this Agreement). The Borrower shall not be required to pay any
additional amounts or indemnification under Section 4.04(a) to any Bank to the
extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts or indemnification
would not have arisen but for the representation set forth in the first sentence
of Section 4.04(b) above made by the Bank not being true.
(c) If the Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section
4.04 to a Bank and such Bank determines in its sole discretion that it has
actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund or any
reduction of, or credit against, its Tax liabilities in or with respect to the
taxable year in which the additional amount is paid, such Bank shall pay to the
Borrower an amount that the Bank shall, in its sole discretion, determine is
equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by the Bank in such year
as a consequence of such refund, reduction or credit.
(d) Each Bank shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and
regulatory restrictions and subject to overall policy considerations of such
Bank) (i) to file any certificate or document or to furnish any information as
reasonably requested by the Borrower pursuant to any applicable treaty, law or
regulation or (ii) to designate a different applicable lending office of such
Bank, if the making of such filing or the furnishing of such information or the
designation of such other lending office would avoid the need for or reduce the
amount of any additional amounts payable by the Borrower and would not, in the
sole discretion of such Bank, be disadvantageous to such Bank.
(e) The provisions of this Section 4.04 are subject to the provisions
of Section 13.18 (to the extent applicable).

(c) If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall fail to maintain
all insurance in accordance with this Section 8.03, or if the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries shall fail to so name the Collateral Agent as an additional
insured, mortgagee or loss payee, as the case may be, or so deposit all
certificates with respect thereto, the Administrative Agent and/or the
Collateral Agent shall have the right (but shall be under no obligation),
following written notice to the Borrower, to procure such insurance, and the

or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, for all costs and expenses of
procuring such insurance.

----------------
cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits, or
upon any properties belonging to it, prior to the date on which penalties attach
thereto, and all lawful claims for sums that have become due and payable which,
if unpaid, might become a Lien not otherwise permitted under Section 9.03(a);
provided that neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required
--------
to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim which is being contested
in good faith and by proper proceedings if it has maintained adequate reserves
with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP.
8.05 Corporate Franchises. The Borrower will do, and will cause each
--------------------
of its Subsidiaries to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to preserve
and keep in full force and effect its existence and its material rights,

and patents, except for rights, franchises, authority to do business, licenses,
certifications, accreditations and patents the loss of which (individually and
in the aggregate) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse

-------- -------
not constitute a breach of this Section 8.05.
8.06 Compliance with Statutes; etc. The Borrower will, and will
------------------------------
cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable statutes,
regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all
governmental bodies, domestic or foreign, in respect of the conduct of its
business and the ownership of its property, except for such noncompliance as
would not

have a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the ability of
any Credit Party to perform its obligations under any Credit Document to which
it is a party.

Subsidiaries, or transport or permit the transportation of Hazardous Materials
to or from any such Real Property, unless the failure to comply with the
requirements specified in clause (i) or (ii) above, either individually or in
the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any tenant or occupant
of any Real Property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, cause or permit any intentional or unintentional act or omission
resulting in the presence or Release of any Hazardous Material (except in
compliance with applicable Environmental Laws), the Borrower agrees to
undertake, and/or to cause any of its Subsidiaries, tenants or occupants to
undertake, at their sole expense, any clean up, removal, remedial or other
action required pursuant to Environmental Laws to remove and clean up any
Hazardous Materials from any Real Property except where the failure to do so
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided
--------
that neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to
comply with any such order or directive which is being contested in good faith
and by proper proceedings so long as it has maintained adequate reserves with
respect to such compliance to the extent required in accordance with GAAP.
(b) At the written request of the Administrative Agent or the
Required Banks, which request shall specify in reasonable detail the basis

which gives rise to such request (or, in the case of a request pursuant to
following clause (i), addressing such matter as may be requested by the
Administrative Agent or the Required Banks) and estimating the range of the
potential costs of any removal, remedial or other corrective action in
connection with any such matter, provided that in no event shall such request be
made unless (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the
Banks receive notice under Section 8.01(h) for any event for which notice is
required to be delivered for any such Real Property or (iii) the Administrative
Agent or the Required Banks reasonably believe that there was a breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant contained in Section 7.17 or 8.07(a). If
the Borrower fails to provide the same within 60 days after such request was
made, the Administrative Agent may order the same, and the Borrower shall grant
and hereby grants, to the Administrative Agent and the Banks and their agents
access to such Real Property and specifically grants, the Administrative Agent
and
-66-
the Banks and their agents an irrevocable non-exclusive license, subject to the
rights of tenants, to undertake such an assessment, all at the Borrower's
expense.

to, grant to the Collateral Agent security interests and mortgages in such
assets and real property of the Borrower and its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries as
are not covered by the original Security Documents, and as may be requested from
time to time by the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks (collectively,
the "Additional Security Documents"). All such security interests and mortgages

Borrower reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent does not within 30
days after a request from the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks deliver
evidence, in form and substance mutually satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower, with respect to any Wholly-Owned Foreign Subsidiary of
the Borrower which has not already had all of its stock pledged pursuant to the

agreement in substantially the form of the Security Agreement, (iii) the
entering into by such Foreign Subsidiary of a pledge agreement in substantially
the form of the Pledge Agreement and (iv) the entering into by such Foreign
Subsidiary of a guaranty in substantially the form of the Subsidiaries Guaranty,
in any such case could reasonably be expected to cause (I) the undistributed
earnings of such Foreign Subsidiary as determined for Federal income tax
purposes to be treated as a deemed dividend to such Foreign Subsidiary's United
States parent for Federal income tax purposes or (II) other material adverse
Federal income tax consequences to the Credit Parties, then in the case of a
failure to deliver the evidence described in clause (i) above, that portion of
such Foreign Subsidiary's outstanding capital stock so issued by such Foreign
Subsidiary, in each case not theretofore pledged pursuant to the Pledge
Agreement, shall be pledged to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Creditors pursuant to the Pledge Agreement (or another pledge agreement
in substantially similar form, if needed), and in the case of a failure to
deliver the evidence described in clause (ii) or (iii) above, such Foreign
Subsidiary shall execute and deliver the Security Agreement (or another security
agreement in substantially similar form, if needed) or the Pledge Agreement (or
another pledge agreement in substantially similar form, if needed), as the case
may be, granting the Secured Creditors a security interest in all of such
Foreign Subsidiary's assets or the capital stock and promissory notes owned by
such Foreign Subsidiary, as the case may be, and securing the obligations of the
Borrower under the Credit Documents and under any Interest Rate Protection
Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement and, in the event the Subsidiaries Guaranty
shall have been executed by such Foreign Subsidiary, the obligations of such
Foreign Subsidiary thereunder, and in the case of a failure to deliver the
evidence described in clause (iv) above, such Foreign Subsidiary shall execute
and deliver the Subsidiaries Guaranty (or another guaranty in substantially
similar form, if needed), guaranteeing the obligations of the Borrower under the
Credit Documents and under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other
Hedging Agreement, in each case to the extent that the entering into of such
Security Agreement, Pledge Agreement or Subsidiaries Guaranty (or substantially
similar document) is permitted by the laws of the respective foreign
jurisdiction and with all documents delivered pursuant to this Section 8.12 to
be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent

to the extent the Required Banks otherwise specifically agree in writing in the
case of a specific Permitted Acquisition): (i) no Default or Event of Default
shall be in existence at the time of the consummation of the proposed Permitted
Acquisition or immediately after giving effect thereto; (ii) the Borrower shall

be measured on a two-quarter annualized basis as provided in the definition
thereof) consecutive fiscal quarters (taken as one accounting period) most
recently ended prior to the date of such Permitted Acquisition (each, a
"Calculation Period"), on a Pro Forma Basis as if the respective Permitted
--- -----
Acquisition (as well as all other Permitted Acquisitions theretofore consummated
after the first day of such Calculation Period) had occurred on the first day of
such Calculation Period, and such recalculations shall show that such financial
covenants would have been complied with if the Permitted Acquisition had
occurred on the first day of such Calculation Period (for this purpose, if the
first day of the respective Calculation Period occurs prior to the Second
Restatement Effective Date or the Third Restatement Effective Date, calculated
as if the covenants contained in said Sections 9.08, 9.09, 9.10 and 9.11 (in the
case of Section 9.11, giving effect to the last sentence appearing therein) had
been applicable from the first day of the Calculation Period); (iv) based on
good faith projections prepared by the Borrower for the period from the date of
the consummation of the Permitted Acquisition to the date which is one year
thereafter, the level of financial performance measured by the covenants set
forth in Sections 9.08, 9.09, 9.10 and 9.11 (in the case of Section 9.11, giving
effect to the last sentence appearing therein) shall be better than or equal to
such level as would be required to provide that no Default or Event of Default
would exist under the financial covenants contained in Sections 9.08, 9.09, 9.10
and 9.11 (in the case of Section 9.11, giving effect to the last sentence
appearing therein) of this Agreement as compliance with such covenants would be
required through the date which is one year from the date of the consummation of
the respective Permitted Acquisition; (v) calculations are made by the Borrower
demonstrating compliance with an Adjusted Senior Leverage Ratio not to exceed
3.0:1.0 on the last day of the relevant Calculation Period, on a Pro Forma Basis
--- -----
as if the respective Permitted Acquisition (as well as all other Permitted
Acquisitions theretofore consummated after the first day of such Calculation
Period) had occurred on the first day of such Calculation Period; (vi) all
representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Credit
Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same
effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of
the date of such Permitted Acquisition (both before and after giving effect
thereto), unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such
representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material
respects as of such earlier date; (vii) the Borrower
-70-
provides to the Administrative Agent and the Banks as soon as available but not
later than 5 Business Days after the execution thereof, a copy of any executed
purchase agreement or similar agreement with respect to such Permitted

financing thereof) reasonably anticipated by the Borrower to be made in the
business acquired pursuant to such Permitted Acquisition within the 90-day
period (such period for any Permitted Acquisition, a "Post-Closing Period")
following such Permitted Acquisition (and in the businesses acquired pursuant to
all other Permitted Acquisitions with Post-Closing Periods ended during the
Post-Closing Period of such Permitted Acquisition), the Total Unutilized
Revolving Loan Commitment shall equal or exceed $10,000,000; and (ix) the
Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an officer's
certificate executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, certifying to the
best of his knowledge, compliance with the requirements of preceding clauses (i)
through (vi), inclusive, and (viii) and containing the calculations required by
the preceding clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (viii).
(b) At the time of each Permitted Acquisition involving the creation
or acquisition of a Subsidiary, or the acquisition of capital stock or other
equity interest of any Person, the capital stock or other equity interests
thereof created or acquired in connection with such Permitted Acquisition shall
be pledged for the benefit of the Secured Creditors pursuant to the Pledge
Agreement in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.15.
(c) The Borrower shall cause each Subsidiary which is formed to
effect, or is acquired pursuant to, a Permitted Acquisition to comply with, and
to execute and deliver, all of the documentation required by, Sections 8.11 and
9.15, to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent.
(d) The consummation of each Permitted Acquisition shall be deemed to
be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the certifications by the
Borrower (or by one or more of its Authorized Officers) pursuant to Section
8.14(a) are true and correct and that all conditions thereto have been satisfied
and that same is permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which
representation and warranty shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty
for all purposes hereunder, including, without limitation, Sections 6 and 10.
8.15 Maintenance of Company Separateness. The Borrower will, and
-----------------------------------
will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, satisfy customary Company formalities,
including, as applicable, the holding of regular board of directors' and
shareholders' meetings or action by directors or shareholders without a meeting
and the maintenance of Company offices and records. Neither the Borrower nor
any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action, or conduct its affairs in a
manner, which is likely to result in the Company existence of the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries being ignored, or in the assets and liabilities of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries being substantively consolidated with those
of any other such Person in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency
proceeding.

except such non-performances as could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
8.17 Year 2000 Compliance. The Borrower will ensure that its
--------------------
Information Systems and Equipment are at all times after January 1, 1999 Year
2000 Compliant, except insofar as the failure to do so will not result in a
Material Adverse Effect, and shall notify the Administrative Agent and any Bank
promptly upon detecting any material failure of the Information Systems and
Equipment to be Year 2000 Compliant. In addition, the Borrower shall provide
the Administrative Agent and any Bank with such information about its year 2000
computer readiness (including, without limitation, information as to contingency
plans, budgets and testing results) as the Administrative Agent or such Bank

12, the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean BTCo in its capacity as
Administrative Agent hereunder and Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security

as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents, and each such Bank hereby

take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as
are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent by
the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Administrative
Agent and the Syndication Agent agrees to act as such upon the express
conditions contained in this Section 12. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, the
Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Credit
Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Bank, and no implied

the Syndication Agent
-135-
shall act solely as agent of the Banks and does not assume and shall not be
deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or
for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.
12.02 Delegation of Duties. Each of the Administrative Agent and the
--------------------
Syndication Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any
other Credit Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be
entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Syndication Agent shall be responsible
for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by
it with reasonable care.
12.03 Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Administrative Agent, the
----------------------
Syndication Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action taken
or omitted to be taken by it or such person in its capacity as Administrative
Agent or Syndication Agent, as the case may be, under or in connection with this
Agreement or the other Credit Documents (except for its or such person's own
gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any
of the Banks for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by
the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers
contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, any other Document or
in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided
for in, or received by the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent under
or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Document or for any failure
of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers
to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Neither the Administrative
Agent nor the Syndication Agent shall be under any obligation to any Bank to
ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or the other
Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Syndication Agent
shall be responsible to any Bank for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity,
enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other
Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made
herein or therein or made in any written or oral statement or in any financial
or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents
in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by the Administrative
Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the case may be, to the Banks or by or on
behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or
the Syndication Agent, as the case may be, or any Bank or be required to
ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms,
conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or
as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or of the existence or possible
existence of any Default or Event of Default.
12.04 Reliance by Agents. The Administrative Agent and the
------------------
Syndication Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, facsimile, telex or teletype message,
statement, order or other document or conversation reasonably believed by it to
be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper
Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including,
without limitation, counsel to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries),
independent accountants and other experts selected by the
-136-
Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the case may be. The
Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit
Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the
Required Banks as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be
incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The
Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Banks, and
such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
binding upon all the Banks.
12.05 Notice of Default. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the
-----------------
Syndication Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence
of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent or the
Syndication Agent, as the case may be, has actually received notice from a Bank
or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event
that the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent receives such a notice,
the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the case may be, shall
give prompt notice thereof to the Banks. The Administrative Agent or the
Syndication Agent, as the case may be, shall take such action with respect to
such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required
Banks; provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent or the
--------
Syndication Agent, as the case may be, shall have received such directions, the
Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the case may be, may (but
shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action,
with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in
the best interests of the Banks.
12.06 Nonreliance on Agents and Other Banks. Each Bank expressly
-------------------------------------
acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any
of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by
the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent hereinafter taken, including
any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent
or the Syndication Agent to any Bank. Each Bank represents to the
Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any
other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,
assets, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and
creditworthiness of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and made its own decision
to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also
represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any other Bank, and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking
action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property,
financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower or
its Subsidiaries. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Syndication Agent
shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or
other information concerning the business, operations,
-137-
assets, property, financial and other condition, prospects or creditworthiness
of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries which may come into the possession of the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
12.07 Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify each of the
---------------
Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent in their respective capacities as
such ratably according to their respective "percentages" as used in determining
the Required Banks at such time or, if the Commitments have terminated and all
Loans have been repaid in full, as determined immediately prior to such
termination and repayment (with such "percentages" to be determined as if there
are no Defaulting Banks), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable
expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time
(including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the
Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative
Agent or the Syndication Agent in their respective capacities as such in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or
any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the
Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent under or in connection with any of
the foregoing, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not paid by
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that no Bank shall be liable
--------
to the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent for the payment of any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting primarily from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or the
Syndication Agent. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent or
the Syndication Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the
Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent, be insufficient or become
impaired, the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the case may be,
may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts
indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The
agreements in this Section 12.07 shall survive the payment of all Obligations.
12.08 Agents in their Individual Capacities. Each of the
-------------------------------------
Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent and their respective affiliates
may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as though the Administrative
Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the case may be, were not the Administrative
Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the case may be, hereunder. With respect to
the Loans made by it and all Obligations owing to it, each of the Administrative
Agent and the Syndication Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement as any Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the case may be, and the terms
"Bank" and "Banks" shall include the Administrative Agent and the Syndication
Agent in their individual capacities.
12.09 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee
-------
of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a
written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case
may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request,
authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such
request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be
-138-
conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or
indorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in
exchange therefor.
12.10 Resignation of the Agents. (a) The Administrative Agent may
-------------------------
resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and/or
under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving 30 Business Days' prior
written notice to the Borrower and the Banks. Such resignation shall take
effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to
clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.
(b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Banks shall
appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a
commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.
(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so
appointed within such 30 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the
consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as
Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the
Required Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.
(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant
to clause (b) or (c) above by the 30th Business Day after the date such notice
of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent's
resignation shall become effective and the Required Banks shall thereafter
perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any
other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Banks appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided above.
(e) The Syndication Agent may resign from the performance of all its
functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any
time by giving five Business Days' prior written notice to the Banks. Such
resignation shall take effect at the end of such five Business Day period. Upon
the effectiveness of the resignation of the Syndication Agent, the
Administrative Agent shall assume all of the functions and duties of the
Syndication Agent hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents.
SECTION 13. Miscellaneous.
-------------
13.01 Payment of Expenses, etc. The Borrower agrees to: (i) whether
-------------------------
or not the transactions herein contemplated are consummated, pay all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents (including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees and disbursements of White & Case LLP and local counsel) in
connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the
Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein and any
amendment, waiver or consent relating thereto and in connection with the Agents'
syndication efforts with respect to this Agreement; (ii) pay all reasonable out-
of-pocket costs and expenses
-139-
of each Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each of the Banks in connection
with the enforcement of the Credit Documents and the documents and instruments
referred to therein and, after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the protection of the rights of each Agent, each Letter of Credit
Issuer and each of the Banks thereunder (including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including in-house counsel) for
each Agent, for each Letter of Credit Issuer and for each of the Banks); (iii)
pay and hold each of the Banks harmless from and against any and all present and
future stamp and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and
save each of the Banks harmless from and against any and all liabilities with
respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent
attributable to such Bank) to pay such taxes; and (iv) indemnify each Agent, the
Collateral Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and each Bank, their respective
officers, directors, employees, representatives, trustees and agents from and
hold each of them harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, claims,
damages or expenses incurred by any of them as a result of, or arising out of,
or in any way related to, or by reason of, (a) any investigation, litigation or
other proceeding (whether or not any Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Letter of
Credit Issuer or any Bank is a party thereto and whether or not any such
investigation, litigation or other proceeding is between or among any Agent, the
Collateral Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Bank, any Credit Party or any
third Person or otherwise) related to the entering into and/or performance of
this Agreement or any other Document or the use of the proceeds of any Loans
hereunder or the Original Transaction, the MTI Transaction, the ASHS Transaction
or the Transaction or the consummation of any other transactions contemplated in
any Document (but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Person to be indemnified), or (b) the actual or alleged
presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on
the surface or subsurface of any Real Property or any Environmental Claim, in
each case, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel and independent consultants incurred in connection with any such
investigation, litigation or other proceeding. To the extent that the
undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless any Agent or any Bank set forth
in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any
law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the
payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is
permissible under applicable law.
13.02 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter
---------------
granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any
such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Agent, each Letter
of Credit Issuer and each Bank is hereby authorized at any time or from time to
time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to any other Person, any such notice
being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and
all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or
owing by such Agent, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Bank (including,
without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Agent, such Letter of
Credit Issuer and such Bank wherever located) to or for the credit or the
account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against and on account of the
Obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to such Agent, such
Letter of Credit Issuer or such Bank under this Agreement or under any of the
other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in
Obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries purchased by such Bank
pursuant to Section 13.06(b), and all other claims of any nature or description
arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document,
irrespective of whether or not
-140-
such Agent, such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Bank shall have made any demand
hereunder and although said Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.
13.03 Notices. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
-------
all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing
(including telegraphic, telex, facsimile or cable communication) and mailed,
telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, cabled or delivered, if to any Credit Party,
at the address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant
Credit Documents, as the case may be; if to any Bank, at its address specified
for such Bank on Schedule II; or, at such other address as shall be designated
by any party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices
and communications shall be mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied or cabled
or sent by overnight courier, and shall be effective when received.
(b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to
confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the
Administrative Agent or BTCo (in the case of a Borrowing of Swingline Loans) or
any Letter of Credit Issuer (in the case of the issuance of a Letter of Credit),
as the case may be, may prior to receipt of written confirmation act without
liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice, believed by the
Administrative Agent or BTCo or any Letter of Credit Issuer in good faith to be
from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. In each such case, the Borrower
hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent's, BTCo's or such
Letter of Credit Issuer's record of the terms of such telephonic notice.
13.04 Benefit of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be binding
--------------------
upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors
and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, the Borrower may not
-------- -------
assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under
any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Banks and,
provided further, that, although any Bank may grant participations in its rights
----------------
hereunder, such Bank shall remain a "Bank" for all purposes hereunder (and may
not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments or Loans hereunder
except as provided in Section 13.04(b)) and the participant shall not constitute
a "Bank" hereunder and, provided further, that no Bank shall transfer or grant
----------------
any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any
amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to
the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled
maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is
not extended beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) in which such participant
is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest
or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any
post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof,
or increase the amount of the participant's participation over the amount
thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or
Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment or of a
mandatory repayment of Loans shall not constitute a change in the terms of such
participation, that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted
without the consent of any participant if the participant's participation is not
increased as a result thereof and that any amendment or modification to the
financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any
rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)), (ii) consent to the
assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations
under
-141-
this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under
all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Security
Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is
participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not
have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the
participant's rights against such Bank in respect of such participation to be
those set forth in the agreement executed by such Bank in favor of the
participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder
shall be determined as if such Bank had not sold such participation.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Bank (or any Bank together
with one or more other Banks) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Revolving
Loan Commitment (and related outstanding Obligations hereunder) and/or its
outstanding Term Loans to (i) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such
Bank which is at least 50% owned by such Bank or its parent company or to one or
more Banks or (ii) in the case of any Bank that is a fund that invests in bank
loans, any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed by the same
investment advisor of such Bank or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or
(y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 in
the aggregate for the assigning Bank or assigning Banks, of such Revolving Loan
Commitments (and related outstanding Obligations hereunder) and outstanding
principal amount of Term Loans to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating (x)
any fund that invests in bank loans and (y) any other fund that invests in bank
loans and is managed by the same investment advisor as such fund or by an
Affiliate of such investment advisor, as a single Eligible Transferee), each of
which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Bank by execution of
an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that (i) at such time Schedule
--------
I shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Term
Loans, as the case may be, of such new Bank and of the existing Banks, (ii) upon
surrender of the old Notes (or the furnishing of a standard indemnity letter
from the respective assigning Bank in respect of any lost Notes), new Notes will
be issued, at the Borrower's expense, to such new Bank and to the assigning
Bank, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.05
(with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised
Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the consent
of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default is
then in existence, the Borrower shall be required in connection with any
assignment to an Eligible Transferee pursuant to clause (y) of this Section
13.04(b) (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), (iv) the consent of each Letter of Credit Issuer shall be required in
connection with any assignment of Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to clause
(y) of this Section 13.04(b) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) and (v) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each
assignment, from the assigning or assignee Bank, the payment of a non-refundable
assignment fee of $3,500 and, provided further, that such transfer or assignment
----------------
will not be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register
pursuant to Section 13.17. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this
Section 13.04(b), the assigning Bank shall be relieved of its obligations
hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and/or outstanding Term
Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a
Person which is not already a Bank hereunder and which is not a United States
person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal
income tax purposes, the respective assignee Bank shall
-142-
provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal
Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable a Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate)
described in Section 4.04(b). To the extent that an assignment of all or any
portion of a Bank's Commitment and outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section
1.13 or this Section 13.04(b) would, due to circumstances existing at the time
of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.05 or
4.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Bank prior to such
assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs
(although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of
the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective
assignment). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, at any
time after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, if any
Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit remain outstanding, assignments may be made
as provided above, except that the respective assignment shall be of a portion
of the outstanding Revolving Loans of the respective RL Bank and its
participation in Letters of Credit and its obligation to make Mandatory
Borrowings, although any such assignment effected after the termination of the
Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall not release the assigning RL Bank from its
obligations as a Participant with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit or to
fund its share of any Mandatory Borrowing (although the respective assignee may
agree, as between itself and the respective assigning RL Bank, that it shall be
responsible for such amounts).
(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Bank or
BTCo from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in
support of borrowings made by such Bank from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with
the consent of the Administrative Agent, any Bank which is a fund may pledge all
or any portion of its Notes or Loans to its trustee in support of its
obligations to its trustee. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release
the transferor Bank from any of its obligations hereunder.
13.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the
------------------------------
part of any Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege
hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between
any Credit Party and any Agent or any Bank shall operate as a waiver thereof;
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege
hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Agent or any
Bank would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any
case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the
Agents or the Banks to any other or further action in any circumstances without
notice or demand.
13.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) The Administrative Agent agrees that
-----------------
promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Credit Party
in respect of any Obligations of such Credit Party, it shall, except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, distribute such payment to the Banks
(other than any Bank that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share
--- ----
of such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the
--- ----
Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.
-143-
(b) Each of the Banks agrees that, if it should receive any amount
hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the
exercise of the right of setoff or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross
action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or
otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest
on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings or Fees, of a sum which with respect to the
related sum or sums received by other Banks is in a greater proportion than the
total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Bank bears to the total of
such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Banks immediately prior to such
receipt, then such Bank receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash
without recourse or warranty from the other Banks an interest in the Obligations
of the respective Credit Party to such Banks in such amount as shall result in a
proportional participation by all of the Banks in such amount; provided, that if
--------
all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Bank,
such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent
of such recovery, but without interest.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the
express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing
payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Banks as opposed to Defaulting Banks.
13.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to
--------------------------
be furnished to the Banks pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved

--------
provided herein, all computations determining compliance with Sections 4.02,
8.14 and 9, including definitions used therein shall, in each case, utilize
accounting principles and policies in effect at the time of the preparation of,
and in conformity with those used to prepare, the December 31, 1998 financial
statements of the Borrower delivered to the Banks pursuant to Section 7.10(b);
provided further, that (i) to the extent expressly required pursuant to the
----------------
provisions of this Agreement, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma
--- -----
Basis, (ii) to the extent compliance with any of Sections 9.08, 9.09, 9.10 or
9.11 would include periods occurring prior to the Third Restatement Effective
Date, such calculation shall be adjusted on a Pro Forma Basis to give effect to
--- -----
the Transaction, as if same had occurred on the first day of the respective
period and (iii) in the case of any determinations of Consolidated Interest
Expense, Consolidated Fixed Charges and Consolidated EBITDA for any portion of
any Test Period which ends prior to the Third Restatement Effective Date, all
computations determining compliance with Sections 9.08, 9.09, 9.10 and 9.11, as
applicable, and all determinations of the Adjusted Senior Leverage Ratio, the
Adjusted Total Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated
in accordance with the definition of Test Period contained herein.

13.08 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue. (a) THIS
------------------------------------------------
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE
GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE
-144-
OF NEW YORK. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or
any other Credit Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York
or of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby irrevocably accepts for
itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the
jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. The Borrower hereby irrevocably
designates, appoints and empowers CT Corporation System, with offices on the
date hereof at 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 as its designee,
appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf,
and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons,
notices and documents which may be served in any such action or proceeding. If
for any reason such designee, appointee and agent shall cease to be available to
act as such, the Borrower agrees to designate a new designee, appointee and
agent in New York City on the terms and for the purposes of this provision
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. The Borrower
hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such courts lack
jurisdiction over the Borrower, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal
action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document
brought in any of the aforesaid courts, that any such court lacks jurisdiction
over the Borrower. The Borrower further irrevocably consents to the service of
process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower, at its address
for notices pursuant to Section 13.03, such service to become effective 30 days
after such mailing. The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such
service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or
claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder or under any other Credit
Document that service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Nothing
herein shall affect the right of any Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Bank or
the holder of any Note to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or
to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Credit Party in
any other jurisdiction.
(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or
proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Credit Document brought in the courts referred to in clause (a) above and hereby
further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court
that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in
an inconvenient forum.
13.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
------------
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which
shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A complete set of
counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
13.10 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the
-------------
date (the "Third Restatement Effective Date") on which (i) each of the Borrower,
each New Bank, each Bank with a Tranche D Term Loan Commitment, the Required
Banks (determined immediately before the occurrence of the Third Restatement
Effective Date and without giving effect thereto), the Administrative Agent and
the Syndication Agent shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same
or different counterparts) and shall have delivered the same (including by way
of facsimile transmission) to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the conditions
contained in
-145-
Sections 5 and 6 are met to the satisfaction of the Agents and the Required
Banks (determined immediately after the occurrence of the Third Restatement
Effective Date). Unless the Administrative Agent has received actual notice from
any Bank that the conditions contained in Sections 5 and 6 have not been met to
its satisfaction, upon the satisfaction of the condition described in clause (i)
of the immediately preceding sentence and upon the Administrative Agent's good
faith determination that the conditions described in clause (ii) of the
immediately preceding sentence have been met, then the Third Restatement
Effective Date shall have been deemed to have occurred, regardless of any
subsequent determination that one or more of the conditions thereto had not been
met (although the occurrence of the Third Restatement Effective Date shall not
release the Borrower from any liability for failure to satisfy one or more of
the applicable conditions contained in Section 5 or 6). The Administrative Agent
will give the Borrower and each Bank prompt written notice of the occurrence of
the Third Restatement Effective Date.
13.11 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and

any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

Obligations being directly affected thereby in the case of the following clause
(i)), (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or extend the
stated maturity of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date,
or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon, or

provided in the Security Documents) under all the Security Documents, (iii)
amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.12, (iv) reduce the

Banks on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Term Loans and
Revolving Loan Commitments are included on the Effective Date) or (v) consent to
the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement; provided further, that no such change, waiver, discharge
----------------

thereof then in effect without the consent of such Bank (it being understood
that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or
Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not
constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Bank, and that an increase in
the available portion of any Commitment of any Bank shall not constitute an
increase in the Commitment of such Bank), (w) without the consent of each Letter
of Credit Issuer, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2 or alter its
rights or obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, (x) without the consent
of BTCo, alter its rights or obligations with respect to Swingline Loans, (y)
without the consent of the
-146-
Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 as same applies to the
Agent or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of the
Agent and (z) without the consent of the Collateral Agent, amend, modify or
waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of the Collateral
Agent.
(b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by
clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 13.12(a),
the consent of the Required Banks is obtained but the consent of one or more of
such other Banks whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower
shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Banks whose individual
consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below,
to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Bank or Banks (or, at the option
of the Borrower if the respective Bank's consent is required with respect to
less than all Tranches of Loans (or related Commitments), to replace only the
Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Loans of the respective non-consenting Bank
which gave rise to the need to obtain such Bank's individual consent) with one
or more Replacement Banks pursuant to Section 1.13 so long as at the time of
such replacement, each such Replacement Bank consents to the proposed change,
waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Bank's
Revolving Loan Commitment (if such Bank's consent is required as a result of its
Revolving Loan Commitment), Term Loan Commitment (if prior to the Term Loan
Commitment Termination Date and if such Bank's consent is required as a result
of its Term Loan Commitment) and/or repay each Tranche of outstanding Loans of
such Bank which gave rise to the need to obtain such Bank's consent and/or cash
collateralize its applicable Adjusted RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit of
Outstandings, in accordance with Sections 3.02(b) and/or 4.01(b), provided that,
--------
unless the Commitments which are terminated and Loans which are repaid pursuant
to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through
the addition of new Banks or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding
Loans of existing Banks (who in each case must specifically consent thereto),
then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B), the Required
Banks (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically
consent thereto, provided further, that the Borrower shall not have the right to
----------------
replace a Bank, terminate its Revolving Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment
or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Bank's rights (and
the withholding of any required consent by such Bank) pursuant to the second
proviso to Section 13.12(a).
13.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without
--------
limitation, in Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2.05, 4.04, 12.07 and 13.01, shall, subject

---------------------------------
carry its Loans and/or Commitments at, to or for the account of any branch
office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Bank; provided, that the Borrower shall
--------
not be responsible for costs arising under Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.05 or 4.04
resulting from any such transfer (other than a transfer pursuant to Section
1.12) to the extent such costs would not otherwise be applicable to such Bank in
the absence of such transfer.
-147-
13.15 Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Banks agrees that it will
---------------
use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of the
Borrower (other than to its directors, employees, auditors, counsel or other
professional advisors, to affiliates or to another Bank if the Bank or such
Bank's holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such
party should have access to such information) any information with respect to
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is furnished pursuant to this
Agreement; provided that any Bank may disclose any such information (a) as has
--------
become generally available to the public, (b) as may be required or appropriate
(x) in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or
Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Bank
or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their
successors or (y) in connection with any request or requirement of any such
regulatory body, (c) as may be required or appropriate in response to any
summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) to comply with any
law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Bank, (e) to any prospective
transferee in connection with any contemplated transfer of any of the Notes or
any interest therein by such Bank; provided that such prospective transferee
--------
agrees to be bound by this Section 13.15 to the same extent as such Bank and (f)
to any Person (or such Person's investment advisor) with whom such Bank has

Commitments, provided such Person (and such investment advisor, if any) agrees
--------
to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.15.
(b) The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Bank may
share with any of its affiliates any information related to the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any nonpublic customer
information regarding the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries), provided that such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of
--------
this Section 13.15 to the same extent as such Bank.
13.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT
--------------------
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING
OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT
DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
13.17 Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative
--------
Agent to serve as the Borrower's agent, solely for purposes of this Section
13.17, to maintain a register (the "Register") on which it will record the
Commitments from time to time of each of the Banks, the Loans made by each of
the Banks and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of
each Bank. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such
recordation shall not affect the Borrower's obligations in respect of such
Loans. With respect to any Bank, the transfer of any Commitment of such Bank
and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan shall not be
effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the
Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans and
prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to
such Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The
registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitment and
Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative
-148-
Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a
properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to
Section 13.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and
Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration
of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Commitment and/or Loan, or as soon
thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Bank shall surrender the
Note evidencing such Commitment and/or Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes
in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or
transferor Bank and/or the new Bank. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the
Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or
incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section
13.17.
13.18 Limitation on Additional Amounts, etc. Notwithstanding
--------------------------------------
anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.05 or 4.04 of this
Agreement, unless a Bank gives notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to
pay an amount under such Section within six months after the later of (x) the
date the Bank incurs the respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or
liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on
capital or (y) the date such Bank has actual knowledge of its incurrence of the
respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reductions in
amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, then such Bank
shall only be entitled to be compensated for such amount by the Borrower
pursuant to said Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.05 or 4.04, as the case may be, to the
extent of the costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts
received or receivable or reduction in return on capital that are incurred or
suffered on or after the date which occurs six months prior to such Bank giving
notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay the respective amounts
pursuant to said Section 1.10, 1.11, 2.05 or 4.04, as the case may be. This
Section 13.18 shall have no applicability to any Section of this Agreement other
than said Sections 1.10, 1.11, 2.05 and 4.04.
13.19 Post-Closing Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

Form UCC-3 termination statements in respect of the Liens listed on Part B
of Schedule IX hereto and same shall be filed in the appropriate
governmental office within 75 days following the Third Restatement
Effective Date (or such later date as shall have been determined by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).
(d) Opinions of Local Counsel. Within 30 days following the Third
-------------------------
Restatement Effective Date, the Collateral Agent shall have received local

foregoing (and to permit the taking of the actions described above within the
time periods, required above, rather than as otherwise provided in the Credit
Documents); provided that (x) to the extent any representation and warranty
--------
would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken on the Third

required to be true and correct in all material respects at the time the
respective action is taken (or was required to be taken) in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Section 13.19 and (y) all representations and
warranties relating to the Security Documents shall be required to be true
immediately after the actions required to be taken by Section 13.19 have been
taken (or were required to be taken). The acceptance of the benefits of the
Loans shall constitute a representation, warranty and covenant by the Borrower
to each of the Banks that the actions required pursuant to this Section 13.19
will be, or have been, taken within the relevant time periods referred to in
this Section 13.19 and that, at such time, all representations and warranties
contained in this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall then be
true and correct without any modification pursuant to this Section 13.19. The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the failure to take any of the actions
required above, within the relevant time periods required above, shall give rise
to an immediate Event of Default pursuant to this Agreement.

----------------------
Third Restatement Effective Date in accordance with Section 13.10 hereof, each
New Bank shall become a "Bank" under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement
