to be borrowed or which existing Term Loans or Revolving Credit
Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the
Interest Period with respect thereto, (vi) in the case of a
Revolving Credit Borrowing, the relevant currency and (vii) if
applicable, the Designated Borrower. If the Company fails to
specify a currency in a Committed Loan Notice requesting a
Borrowing, then the Committed Loans so requested shall be made in
Dollars. If the Company fails to specify a Type of Loan in a
Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a
conversion or continuation, then the applicable Term Loans or
Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to, a
Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan with an 39 Interest Period of one
month (subject to the definition of Interest Period). Any such
automatic conversion to Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans with an
Interest Period of one month shall be effective as of the last day
of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the
applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If a Borrower requests a
Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate
Committed Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to
specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an
Interest Period of one month. No Committed Loan may be converted
into or continued as a Committed Loan denominated in a different
currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of
such Committed Loan and reborrowed in the other currency. (b)
Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the amount
(and currency) of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Class of
Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is
provided by the Company, the Administrative Agent shall notify each
Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Eurocurrency
Rate Loans with an Interest Period of 1 month or continuation
described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Committed
Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its
Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day
Funds at the Administrative Agent's Office for the applicable
currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Committed
Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time
specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Committed
Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day
specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02
(and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section
4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received
available to the relevant Borrower in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the
relevant Borrower on the books of JPMCB with the amount of such
funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in
accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent
by the Company; provided that if, on the date the Committed Loan
Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Company,
there are Swing Line Loans or L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the
proceeds of such Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be applied,
first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, second,
to the payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans, and third, to
the relevant Borrower as provided above. (c) Except as otherwise
provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan may be
continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period
for such Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan unless the relevant
Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.07 in
connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default,
the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require that
no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate
Loans. (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Company and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any
Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans upon
determination of such interest rate. The determination of the
Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive
in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans
are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company
and the Lenders of any change in JPMCB's prime rate used in
determining the Base Rate promptly following the public
announcement of such change. (e) After giving effect to all Term
Borrowings, all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of
Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other,
and all continuations of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans as
the same Type, there shall not be more than 20 Interest Periods in
effect with respect to Committed Loans. 40 (f) The failure of any
Lender to make the Committed Loan to be made by it as part of any
Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if
any, hereunder to make its Committed Loan on the date of such
Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of
any other Lender to make the Committed Loan to be made by such
other Lender on the date of any Borrowing. Section 2.03. Bid Loans.
(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
each Revolving Credit Lender agrees that the Company may from time
to time request the Revolving Credit Lenders of any Tranche or both
Tranches to submit offers to make loans (each such loan, a "BID
LOAN") to the Company prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to this
Section 2.03; provided, however, that after giving effect to any
Bid Borrowing, the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed
the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments. (b) Requesting
Competitive Bids. The Company may request the submission of
Competitive Bids by delivering a Bid Request to the Administrative
Agent not later than 12:00 noon (i) one Business Day prior to the
requested date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Absolute
Rate Loans, or (ii) four Business Days prior to the requested date
of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Eurocurrency Margin Bid
Loans. Each Bid Request shall specify (i) the requested date of the
Bid Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the aggregate
principal amount of Bid Loans requested (which must be $10,000,000
or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), (iii) the
Type of Bid Loans requested, (iv) the requested currency and (v)
the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, and shall
be signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. No Bid Request
shall contain a request for (i) more than one Type of Bid Loan or
(ii) Bid Loans having more than three different Interest Periods.
Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees in its sole and
absolute discretion, the Company may not submit a Bid Request if it
has submitted another Bid Request within the prior five Business
Days. (c) Submitting Competitive Bids. (i) The Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of each Bid
Request received by it from the Company and the contents of such
Bid Request. (ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender may (but shall have
no obligation to) submit a Competitive Bid containing an offer to
make one or more Bid Loans in response to such Bid Request. Such
Competitive Bid must be delivered to the Administrative Agent not
later than 10:30 a.m. (A) on the requested date of any Bid
Borrowing that is to consist of Absolute Rate Loans, and (B) three
Business Days prior to the requested date of any Bid Borrowing that
is to consist of Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loans; provided, however,
that any Competitive Bid submitted by JPMCB in its capacity as a
Revolving Credit Lender in response to any Bid Request must be
submitted to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:15 a.m. on
the date on which Competitive Bids are required to be delivered by
the other Lenders in response to such Bid Request. Each Competitive
Bid shall specify (A) the proposed date of the Bid Borrowing; (B)
the principal amount of each Bid Loan for which such Competitive
Bid is being made, which principal amount (x) may be equal to,
greater than or less than the Commitment of the bidding Lender, (y)
must be $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof, and (z) may not 41 exceed the principal amount of Bid
Loans for which Competitive Bids were requested; (C) if the
proposed Bid Borrowing is to consist of Absolute Rate Bid Loans,
the Absolute Rate offered for each such Bid Loan and the Interest
Period applicable thereto; (D) the proposed currency of each Bid
Loan; (E) if the proposed Bid Borrowing is to consist of
Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loans, the Eurocurrency Bid Margin with
respect to each such Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loan and the Interest
Period applicable thereto; and (F) the identity of the bidding
Lender. (iii) Any Competitive Bid shall be disregarded if it (A) is
received after the applicable time specified in clause (ii) above,
(B) is not substantially in the form of a Competitive Bid as
specified herein, (C) contains qualifying, conditional or similar
language, (D) proposes terms other than or in addition to those set
forth in the applicable Bid Request, or (E) is otherwise not
responsive to such Bid Request. Any Revolving Credit Lender may
correct a Competitive Bid containing a manifest error by submitting
a corrected Competitive Bid (identified as such) not later than the
applicable time required for submission of Competitive Bids. Any
such submission of a corrected Competitive Bid shall constitute a
revocation of the Competitive Bid that contained the manifest
error. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to,
notify any Revolving Credit Lender of any manifest error it detects
in such Lender's Competitive Bid. (iv) Subject only to the
provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.03 and 4.02 and clause (iii) above,
each Competitive Bid shall be irrevocable. (d) Notice to Company of
Competitive Bids. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the requested
date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Absolute Rate
Loans, or (ii) three Business Days prior to the requested date of
any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Eurocurrency Margin Bid
Loans, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of the
identity of each Lender that has submitted a Competitive Bid that
complies with Section 2.03(c) and of the terms of the offers
contained in each such Competitive Bid. (e) Acceptance of
Competitive Bids. Not later than 12:00 p.m. (x) on the requested
date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Absolute Rate
Loans, and (y) three Business Days prior to the requested date of
any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Eurocurrency Margin Bid
Loans, the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of its
acceptance or rejection of the offers notified to it pursuant to
Section 2.03(d). The Company shall be under no obligation to accept
any Competitive Bid and may choose to reject all Competitive Bids.
In the case of acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate
principal amount of Competitive Bids for each Interest Period that
is accepted. The Company may accept any Competitive Bid in whole or
in part; provided that: (i) the aggregate principal amount of each
Bid Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the
related Bid Request; (ii) the principal amount of each Bid Loan
must be $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof; 42 (iii) the acceptance of offers may be made only on the
basis of ascending Absolute Rates or Eurocurrency Bid Margins
within each Interest Period; and (iv) the Company may not accept
any offer regarding which the Administrative Agent has notified the
Company that such offer is either (a) of the type described in
Section 2.03(c)(iii) or (b) otherwise fails to comply with the
requirements hereof. (f) Procedure for Identical Bids. If two or
more Lenders have submitted Competitive Bids at the same Absolute
Rate or Eurocurrency Bid Margin, as the case may be, for the same
Interest Period, and the result of accepting all of such
Competitive Bids in whole (together with any other Competitive Bids
at lower Absolute Rates or Eurocurrency Bid Margins, as the case
may be, accepted for such Interest Period in conformity with the
requirements of Section 2.03(e)(iii)) would be to cause the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable Bid
Borrowing to exceed the amount specified therefor in the related
Bid Request, then, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, the
Administrative Agent and such Lenders, such Competitive Bids shall
be accepted as nearly as possible in proportion to the amount
offered by each such Lender in respect of such Interest Period,
with such accepted amounts being rounded to the nearest whole
multiple of $1,000,000. (g) Notice to Lenders of Acceptance or
Rejection of Bids. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender having submitted a Competitive Bid whether or not its
offer has been accepted and, if its offer has been accepted, of the
amount of the Bid Loan or Bid Loans to be made by it on the date of
the applicable Bid Borrowing. Any Competitive Bid or portion
thereof that is not accepted by the Company by the applicable time
specified in Section 2.03(e) shall be deemed rejected. (h) Notice
of Eurocurrency Rate. If any Bid Borrowing is to consist of
Eurocurrency Margin Loans, the Administrative Agent shall determine
the Eurocurrency Rate for the relevant Interest Period, and
promptly after making such determination, shall notify the Company
and the Lenders that will be participating in such Bid Borrowing of
such Eurocurrency Rate. (i) Funding of Bid Loans. Each Lender that
has received notice pursuant to Section 2.03(g) that all or a
portion of its Competitive Bid has been accepted by the Company
shall make the amount of its Bid Loan(s) available to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the
Administrative Agent's Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date
of the requested Bid Borrowing. Upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in Section 4.02, the Administrative Agent
shall make all funds so received available to the Company in like
funds as received by the Administrative Agent. (j) Notice of Range
of Bids. After each Competitive Bid auction pursuant to this
Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender
that submitted a Competitive Bid in such auction of the ranges of
bids submitted (without the bidder's name) and accepted for each
Bid Loan and the aggregate amount of each Bid Borrowing. Section
2.04. Letters of Credit. (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment. (i)
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C
Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements 43 of the other
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section
2.04, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period
from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date,
to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or in one or more
Alternative Currencies for the account of the relevant Borrower and
to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in
accordance with Section 2.04(b), and (2) to honor drafts under the
Letters of Credit; and (B) the Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued
for the account of the relevant Borrower; provided that the L/C
Issuer shall not be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with
respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated
to participate in any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such
L/C Credit Extension or after giving effect thereto, (w) the Total
Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments, (x) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such
Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations, plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding
Amount of all Swing Line Loans would exceed such Lender's
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment, (y) the Outstanding
Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit
Sublimit or (z) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Australian
Dollars, plus the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations
denominated in Australian Dollars would exceed the Australian
Dollar Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers' ability to obtain
Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the
Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of
Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have
been drawn upon and reimbursed. (ii) The L/C Issuer shall be under
no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (A) any order,
judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator
shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer
from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the
L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction
over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer
refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such
Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer
with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or
capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise
compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall
impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense
which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which, in each
case, the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; (B)
subject to Section 2.04(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested
Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date
of issuance or last renewal, unless the Multicurrency Revolving
Credit Lenders (other than any Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) have approved such expiry date;
(C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur
after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the
Multicurrency Revolving 44 Credit Lenders (other than any
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender)
have approved such expiry date; or (D) the issuance of such Letter
of Credit would violate any Laws or one or more policies of the L/C
Issuer. (iii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend
any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation
at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form
under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of
Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of
Credit. (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of
Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. (i) Each Letter of Credit
shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of
the Company delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit
Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Company. Such Letter of Credit Application must be
received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later
than 1:00 p.m. at least two Business Days prior to the proposed
issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, or such
later date and time as the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular
instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an
initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit
Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably
satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of
the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B)
the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D)
the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents
to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by
such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such
other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case
of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit,
such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail
reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (1) the Letter of Credit
to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which
shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment;
and (4) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably
request. In the event that any Letter of Credit Application
includes representations and warranties, covenants and/or events of
default that do not contain the materiality qualifiers, exceptions
or thresholds that are applicable to the analogous provisions of
this Agreement or other Loan Documents, or are otherwise more
restrictive, the relevant qualifiers, exceptions and thresholds
contained herein shall be incorporated therein or, to the extent
more restrictive, shall be deemed for purposes of such Letter of
Credit Application to be the same as the analogous provisions
herein. (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit
Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative
Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent
has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the
Company and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative
Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the L/C Issuer of
confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested
issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms
hereof (such confirmation to be promptly provided by the
Administrative Agent), then, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter
of Credit for the account of the relevant Borrower or enter into
the 45 applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon
the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Multicurrency Revolving
Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk
participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the
product of such Lender's Pro Rata Share times the amount of such
Letter of Credit. (iii) If the Company so requests in any
applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its
sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit
that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an "AUTO-RENEWAL
LETTER OF CREDIT"); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of
Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at
least once in each twelve month period (commencing with the date of
issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the
beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the "NONRENEWAL NOTICE
DATE") in each such twelve month period to be agreed upon at the
time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by
the L/C Issuer, the Company shall not be required to make a
specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an
Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be
deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to
permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an
expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date;
provided that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if
(A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation
at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form
under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section
2.04(a)(ii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may
be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five
Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the
Administrative Agent, any Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender or
the Company that one or more of the applicable conditions specified
in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied. (iv) Promptly after its
delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of
Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the
beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the
Company and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of
such Letter of Credit or amendment. (c) Drawings and
Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (i) Upon receipt from
the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing
under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the
Company and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a
Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the
relevant Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in such
Alternative Currency, unless (A) the L/C Issuer (at its option)
shall have specified in such notice that it will require
reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such
requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Company shall have
notified the L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of
drawing that the relevant Borrower will reimburse the L/C Issuer in
Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a
drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative
Currency, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Company of the Dollar
Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the
determination thereof. Not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date of any
payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed
in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by
the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an
Alternative Currency (each such date, an "HONOR DATE"), the Company
shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the 46 Administrative Agent
in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the
applicable currency; provided that if notice of such drawing is not
provided to the Company prior to 1:00 p.m. on the Honor Date, then
the relevant Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the
Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such
drawing and in the applicable currency on the next succeeding
Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in
computing fees in respect of any such Letter of Credit. If the
relevant Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such
time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor Date, the amount
of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of
the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit
denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the "UNREIMBURSED
AMOUNT"), and the amount of such Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Company shall
be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to
the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and
multiples specified in Section 2.02(a) for the principal amount of
Base Rate Loans but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion
of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice).
Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)(i) may be given by telephone if
immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an
immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or
binding effect of such notice. (ii) Each Multicurrency Revolving
Credit Lender (including the Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall
upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) make funds available
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at
the Administrative Agent's Office for Dollar-denominated payments
in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount
not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such
notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.04(c)(iii), each Multicurrency Revolving
Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have
made a Base Rate Loan to the Company in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C
Issuer in Dollars. (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount
that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from
the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed
Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due
and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear
interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(ii) shall
be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C
Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in
satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section
2.04. (iv) Until each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender funds
its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section
2.04(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any
Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender's Pro Rata
Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C
Issuer. 47 (v) Each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender's
obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit,
as contemplated by this Section 2.04(c), shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the
Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the
occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing; provided that each Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Lender's obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section
4.02 (other than delivery by a Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice
). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise
impair the obligation of any Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer
for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any
Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. (vi)
If any Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender fails to make
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C
Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time
specified in Section 2.04(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled
to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative
Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period
from the date such payment is required to the date on which such
payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per
annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in
effect. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest as
aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's
Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C
Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may
be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with
respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.04(c)(vi) shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Repayment of
Participations. (i) If, at any time after the L/C Issuer has made a
payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender such Lender's L/C Advance in
respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.04(c), the
Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any
payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest
thereon (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including
proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative
Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its
Pro Rata Share thereof in Dollars and in the same funds as those
received by the Administrative Agent. (ii) If any payment received
by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer
pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) is required to be returned under any
of the circumstances described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant
to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its
discretion), each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender shall pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its
Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus
interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such
amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. 48 (e)
Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse
the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to
repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the
following: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such
Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; (ii)
the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other
right that any Borrower may have at any time against any
beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any
Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be
acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection
with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by
such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating
thereto, or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand,
certificate or other document presented under such 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; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of
any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter
of Credit; (iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of
Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not
strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any
payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any
Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy,
debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any
beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including
any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law; (v) any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any
of the Obligations of the Borrowers in respect of such Letter of
Credit; (vi) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or
in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to a
Borrower or in the relevant currency markets generally; or (vii)
any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance
that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, the Borrowers; provided that the foregoing shall not
excuse the L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrowers to the extent
of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims
in respect of which are waived by the Borrowers to the extent
permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are
caused by the L/C Issuer's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of
Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in
the event of any claim of noncompliance with the relevant 49
Borrower's instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will
promptly notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall be conclusively
deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its
correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. (f) Role
of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrowers agree that, in paying
any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have
any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight
draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter
of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or
accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person
executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer,
any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents,
participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any
Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith
at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required
Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due
execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any
document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of
Credit Application. The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the
acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to
its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is
not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers from
pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the
beneficiary or transferee at Law or under this Agreement or any
other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person,
nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees
of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the
matters described in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 2.04(e);
provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against the L/C
Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the
extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to
consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by a Borrower which
such Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer's willful
misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer's willful or
grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after
the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and
certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of
a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the
foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their
face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the
contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning
or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the
rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in
part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent,
(i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing
request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in
an L/C Borrowing and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 to a
Revolving Credit Borrowing cannot then be met, or (ii) if, as of
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for
any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the
relevant Borrower shall, within three Business Days, Cash
Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations
(in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the
date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date,
as the case may be) or, in the case of clause (ii), provide a
back-to-back letter of credit in a face amount at least equal to
the then undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit from an issuer and
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer.
Unless at the option of the Company, Cash Collateral 50 was
deposited in the foreign currency in which the applicable Letter of
Credit was issued, the Administrative Agent may, at any time and
from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral,
request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to
protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations. For
purposes hereof, "CASH COLLATERALIZE" means to pledge and deposit
with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations,
cash or deposit account balances ("CASH COLLATERAL") pursuant to
documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby
consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have
corresponding meanings. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in a
Cash Collateral Account. If at any time the Administrative Agent
determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to
any right or claim of any Person other than rights or claims of the
Administrative Agent arising by operation of law or that the total
amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount
of all L/C Obligations, the Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand
by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as
additional funds to be deposited and held in the Cash Collateral
Account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate
Outstanding Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then
held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to
be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of
any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash
Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted
under applicable Law, to reimburse the L/C Issuer. To the extent
the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds the aggregate Outstanding
Amount of all L/C Obligations and so long as no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the
Borrowers. (h) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise
expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Company when a Letter of
Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the "International Standby
Practices 1998" published by the Institute of International Banking
Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in
effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter
of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice
for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the
International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall
apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. (i) Letter of Credit
Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender in accordance
with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of
Credit issued for the account of a Borrower equal to the Applicable
Margin times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily maximum amount then
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not
such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit
if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms
of such Letter of Credit). Such letter of credit fees shall be
computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of credit
fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the
end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with
the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of
Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on
demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any
quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be
computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for
each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in
effect. (j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges
Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C
Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee 51 with
respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a
Borrower equal to 0.125% per annum (or, in the case of any L/C
Issuer, any lesser percentage that may be agreed by the Borrowers
and such L/C Issuer) of the Dollar Equivalent of the daily maximum
amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit
(whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such
Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically
pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit). Such fronting fees
shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting
fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the
end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with
the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of
Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on
demand. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C
Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance,
presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other
standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters
of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and
standard costs and charges are due and payable within five Business
Days of demand and are nonrefundable. (k) Conflict with Letter of
Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms
hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms
hereof shall control. Section 2.05. Swing Line Loans. (a) The Swing
Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Swing Line Lenders agree to make loans in Dollars (each such loan,
a "SWING LINE LOAN") to the Company from time to time on any
Business Day (other than the Closing Date) until the Maturity Date
in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the
amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that
such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of
the Outstanding Amount of Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans and
L/C Obligations of any Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may
exceed the amount of such Lender's Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any Swing Line
Loan, (x) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans of
any Lender, plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding
Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of
the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed
such Lender's Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment; provided
further that the Company shall not use the proceeds of any Swing
Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the
foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions
hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section 2.05, prepay
under Section 2.06 and reborrow under this Section 2.05. Each Swing
Line Loan shall be a Specified Rate Loan. Immediately upon the
making of a Swing Line Loan, each Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lenders a
risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to
the product of such Lender's Pro Rata Share times the amount of
such Swing Line Loan. (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line
Borrowing shall be made upon the Company's irrevocable notice to
the Swing Line Lenders and the Administrative Agent, which may be
given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing
Line Lenders and the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m.
on the requested borrowing date or such later time on the requested
borrowing date as may be approved by the Swing Line Lenders in
their sole discretion, and shall specify (i) the amount to be
borrowed, which shall be a minimum of 52 $100,000, and (ii) the
requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such
telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the
Swing Line Lenders and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing
Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Company. Promptly after receipt by the
Swing Line Lenders of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the
Swing Line Lenders will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by
telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also
received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line
Lenders will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in
writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lenders
have received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the
Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 3:30 p.m. on the date of the
proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lenders
not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set
forth in the provisos to the first sentence of Section 2.05(a), or
(B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in
Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lenders will, not later than 4:00
p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan
Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the
Company. Unless otherwise agreed between the Swing Line Lenders,
each Swing Line Lender shall make 50% of each Swing Line Loan. (c)
Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. (i) The Swing Line Lenders at any
time in their sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf
of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line
Lenders to so request on its behalf), that each Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Lender make a Specified Rate Loan in an amount
equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line
Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing
(which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan
Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements
of Section 2.02(a), without regard to the minimum and multiples
specified therein for the principal amount of Specified Rate Loans,
but subject to the unutilized portion of the Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Facility and the conditions set forth in Section
4.02. The Swing Line Lenders shall furnish the Company with a copy
of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering
such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata
Share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice
available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available
funds for the account of the Swing Line Lenders at the
Administrative Agent's Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day
specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to
Section 2.05(c)(ii), each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender
that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a
Specified Rate Loan to the Company in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing
Line Lenders. (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be
refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with
Section 2.05(c)(i), the request for Specified Rate Loans submitted
by the Swing Line Lenders as set forth herein shall be deemed to be
a request by the Swing Line Lenders that each of the Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the
relevant Swing Line Loan and each Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for 53 the account of
the Swing Line Lenders pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i) shall be
deemed payment in respect of such participation. (iii) If any
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lenders
any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(c) by the time specified
in Section 2.05(c)(i), the Swing Line Lenders shall be entitled to
recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent),
on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from
the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to the Swing Line Lenders at a rate per
annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time
in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees
customarily charged by the Swing Line Lenders (or either of them)
in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount
(with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender's Committed Loan included in the relevant
Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing
Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line
Lenders submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent)
with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. (iv) Each Multicurrency Revolving
Credit Lender's obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to
purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant
to this Section 2.05(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such
Lender may have against any Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers or any
other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or
condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided
that each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender's obligation to
make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) is
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than
delivery by the Company of a Committed Loan Notice). No such
funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair
the obligation of the Company to repay Swing Line Loans, together
with interest as provided herein. (d) Repayment of Participations.
(i) At any time after any Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender has
purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if
the Swing Line Lenders receive any payment on account of such Swing
Line Loan, the Swing Line Lenders will distribute to such Lender
its Pro Rata Share of such payment in the same funds as those
received by the Swing Line Lenders. (ii) If any payment received by
the Swing Line Lenders in respect of principal or interest on any
Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line
Lenders under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.06
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing
Line Lenders in their discretion), each Multicurrency Revolving
Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lenders its Pro Rata
Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest
thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
returned, at a rate per annum equal to the 54 applicable Federal
Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the
request of the Swing Line Lenders. (e) Interest for Account of
Swing Line Lenders. The Swing Line Lenders shall be responsible for
invoicing the Company for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until
each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender funds its Specified Rate
Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.05 to
refinance such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan,
interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the
account of the Swing Line Lenders. (f) Payments Directly to Swing
Line Lenders. The Company shall make all payments of principal and
interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to each Swing
Line Lender. Section 2.06. Prepayments. (a) Optional. (i) Each
Borrower may, upon notice from the Company to the Administrative
Agent, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay the
Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part without
premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received
by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) three
Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans denominated in Dollars, (2) four Business Days prior to any
date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in
Alternative Currencies and (3) on the date of prepayment of Base
Rate Committed Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate
Committed Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and
(C) any prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in
excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal
amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the
date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of
Committed Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such
notice, and of the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such
prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company, the applicable
Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall
be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.07. Each
prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) shall be
applied among the Facilities in such amounts as the Company may
direct in its sole discretion, provided that any such prepayment of
the Term Loans shall be applied against the then remaining
scheduled amortization payments under the Term Loans in order of
their maturities. Each prepayment in respect of a particular
Facility shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance
with their respective Pro Rata Shares. (ii) No Bid Loan may be
prepaid without the prior consent of the applicable Bid Loan
Lender; provided that in connection with the repayment in full or
refinancing of all of the Facilities, if any Bid Loan is
outstanding at such time, the Company shall be permitted to deposit
with the Administrative Agent cash or deposit account balances (or
a letter of credit) pursuant to documentation reasonably
satisfactory to such Bid Loan Lender in an amount equal to the sum
of the outstanding principal amount of such Bid Loan and the
remaining interest payments on such Bid Loan. 55 (iii) The Company
may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lenders (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time,
voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without
premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received
by the Swing Line Lenders and the Administrative Agent not later
than 3:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, (B) any such
prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of the lesser of
$100,000 and the total principal amount of the Swing Line Loans
then outstanding and (C) any such prepayment shall be applied
ratably to the outstanding Swing Line Loans held by the respective
Swing Line Lenders. Each such notice shall specify the date and
amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company,
the Company shall make such prepayment and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein. (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Company may rescind any notice of
prepayment under Section 2.06(a)(i) or 2.06(a)(iii) if such
prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the
Facilities, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall
otherwise be delayed. (b) Mandatory. (i) (A) If (1) any Restricted
Company Disposes of any property or assets pursuant to Section
7.05(l)(ii), Section 7.05(q) or Section 7.05(s), or (2) any
Casualty Event occurs, which in the aggregate results in the
realization or receipt by any Restricted Company of Net Cash
Proceeds in excess of $1,000,000 in any fiscal year, the Company
shall cause to be prepaid on or prior to the date which is ten
Business Days after the date of the realization or receipt of such
Net Cash Proceeds an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an
amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received; provided
that no such prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section
2.06(b)(i)(A) if, on or prior to such date, the Company shall have
given written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intention
to reinvest all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in
accordance with Section 2.06(b)(i)(B) (which election may only be
made if no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing);
(B) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with
respect to any Disposition or any Casualty Event required to be
applied in accordance with Section 2.06(b)(i)(A), at the option of
the Company, and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Company may reinvest all or any portion of
such Net Cash Proceeds in the acquisition, improvement or
maintenance of assets useful in the operations of the Restricted
Companies (1) in the case of any Net Cash Proceeds received with
respect to any Disposition, within (x) 12 months following receipt
of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if the Company enters into a
contract to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within such 12 month
period following receipt thereof, 18 months following receipt of
such Net Cash Proceeds and (2) in the case of any Net Cash Proceeds
received with respect to any Casualty Event, within (x) 24 months
following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if the Company
enters into a contract to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within
such 24 month period following receipt thereof, 30 months following
receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that if 56 any Net Cash
Proceeds are no longer intended to be so reinvested at any time
after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election or are not so
reinvested during (I) in the case of any such Disposition, such 12
month period or 18 month period, as applicable and (II) in the case
of any such Casualty Event, such 24 month period or 30 month
period, as applicable, an amount equal to any such Net Cash
Proceeds shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of the Term
Loans as set forth in this Section 2.06. (ii) If any Restricted
Company incurs or issues any Indebtedness not expressly permitted
to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03, the Company
shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Term
Loans in an amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received
therefrom on or prior to the date which is five Business Days after
the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds. (iii) Each prepayment of
Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be applied in
direct order of maturities to the principal repayment installments
of the Term Loans that are due after the date of such prepayment.
Each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance
with their respective Pro Rata Shares. (iv) The Borrowers shall
notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory
prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses
(i) and (ii) of this Section 2.06(b) at least (A) in the case of
the prepayment of Term Loans which are Base Rate Loans, three
Business Days and (B) in the case of prepayments of Term Loans
which are Eurocurrency Rate Loans, five Business Days, in each case
prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall
specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably
detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender
of the contents of the Borrowers' prepayment notice and of such
Appropriate Lender's Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. (v) If the
Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the
Total Revolving Outstandings at such time exceed an amount equal to
105% of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect,
then, within five Business Days after receipt of such notice, the
Borrowers shall prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Total
Revolving Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not
to exceed 100% of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then
in effect (provided that in the case of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan,
if the Borrowers deposit in an escrow account on terms satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent an amount (the "ESCROWED AMOUNT") for
the prepayment of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan on the last day of
then next-expiring Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan,
the Total Revolving Outstandings shall be deemed to be reduced by
an amount equal to the Escrowed Amount for purposes of this Section
2.06(b)(v), it being agreed and understood that interest in respect
of any Escrowed Amount shall continue to accrue thereon at the rate
provided hereunder for the Eurocurrency Rate Loan which such
Escrowed Amount is intended to repay until such Escrowed Amount
shall have been used in full to repay such Euroccurency Rate Loan)
57 (c) Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.06
shall be made together with, in the case of any such prepayment of
a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an
Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such
Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.07. Notwithstanding
any of the other provisions of Section 2.06(b), so long as no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment
of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under Section
2.06(b), other than on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, the Company may, in its sole discretion, deposit the
amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made
thereunder into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of
such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall
be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from
the Company or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the
prepayment of such Loans in accordance with Section 2.06(b). Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any
further action by or notice to or from the Company or any other
Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the
outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.06(b). Section 2.07.
Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) Optional. The Company
may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, or from time to time
permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of
any Tranche; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by
the Administrative Agent one Business Day prior to the date of
termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be
in an aggregate amount (A) of $500,000 or any whole multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof or (B) equal to the Aggregate Revolving
Credit Commitments of such Tranche at such time, (iii) if, after
giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments, (A) the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Swing Line
Sublimit, the US Dollar Revolving Credit Facility or the
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility exceeds the amount of the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, such sublimit or facility
commitments shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such
excess. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may rescind or
postpone any notice of termination of the Aggregate Revolving
Credit Commitments if such termination would have resulted from a
refinancing of all of the Facilities, which refinancing shall not
be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed. (b) Mandatory.
Subject to Section 2.16, the Term Commitment of each Term Lender
shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 on the Closing
Date upon the funding of the Term Loans in accordance with Section
2.01. The Revolving Credit Commitments shall be automatically and
permanently reduced to $0 on the Maturity Date. (c) Application of
Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent
will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of
unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line
Sublimit or the unused Commitments of any Class or Tranche under
this Section 2.07. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments of any
Class or Tranche, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class or
Tranche shall be reduced by such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the
amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other than the
termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section
3.09). All facility fees accrued until the effective date of any
termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be paid on
the effective date of such termination. 58 Section 2.08. Repayment
of Loans. (a) Term Loans. The Company shall repay to the
Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Term Lenders
the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding in
quarterly installments as follows (which installments shall be (i)
reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance
with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.06(b)(iii) and
(ii) increased by an amount equal to (x) in the case of each
installment other than the installment payable on the Maturity
Date, an amount equal to the applicable quarterly installment
amount of any Additional Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.16
as additional Term Loans and (y) in the case of the installment
payable on the Maturity Date, an amount equal to the remainder of
the aggregate principal amount of any such Additional Term Loans
made as additional Term Loans), each such payment to be made on or
prior to the date specified below:

provided that the final principal repayment
installment of the Term Loans shall be repaid on the Maturity Date
and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on such date. (b)
Revolving Credit Loans. Each Borrower shall repay to the
Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the applicable
Revolving Credit Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate
principal amount of all of its Revolving Credit Loans outstanding
on such date. (c) The Company shall repay each Bid Loan on the last
day of the Interest Period in respect thereof. 59 (d) Swing Line
Loans. The Company shall repay its Swing Line Loans on the earlier
to occur of (i) the date ten (10) Business Days after such Loan is
made and (ii) the Maturity Date. Section 2.09. Interest. (a)
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09(b), (i) each Eurocurrency
Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per
annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus
the Applicable Margin plus (in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan
of any Lender which is lent from a Lending Office in the United
Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory Cost, (ii)
each Committed Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing
date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin, (iii) each Bid Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof for the Interest Period therefor at a rate
per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period
plus (or minus) the Eurocurrency Bid Margin, or at the Absolute
Rate for such Interest Period, as the case may be, and (iv) each
Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per
annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus the Applicable Margin
for Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Credit Loans, or at such other
rates as may be agreed between the Company and the Swing Line
Lenders. (b) While any Event of Default set forth in Section
8.01(a) or (f) exists (but, in the case of any Event of Default set
forth in Section 8.01(a), only upon the election of the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders), the Borrowers shall
pay interest on all overdue Obligations hereunder (regarding which
all applicable grace periods set forth in Section 8.01 have
expired) at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts
(including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable
upon demand. (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in
arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at
such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder
shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before
and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. Section 2.10. Fees. In
addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.04(i) and (j): (a)
Facility Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with
its Pro Rata Share, a facility fee in Dollars equal to the
Applicable Margin times the actual daily amount of the Aggregate
Revolving Credit Commitments (or, if the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments have terminated, on the Outstanding Amount of all
Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations), regardless
of usage. The facility fee shall accrue at all times from the date
hereof until the date on which the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments have terminated, the Outstanding Amounts on all
Committed Loans and Swing Line Loans have been paid and the
Outstanding Amounts on all L/C Obligations have been paid or Cash
Collateralized (the "TERMINATION DATE"), including at any time
during which one or more of the conditions in Article 4 is not met,
and shall be due and payable quarterly in 60 arrears on the first
Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the
Closing Date, and on the Termination Date. The facility fee shall
be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in
the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the actual daily amount
shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin
separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable
Margin was in effect. (b) Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to
the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in
writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees
shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any
reason whatsoever. Section 2.11. Computation of Interest and Fees.
All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate
is determined by JPMCB's "prime rate" shall be made on the basis of
a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days
elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made
on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which
results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if
computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case of
interest in respect of Committed Loans denominated in Alternative
Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing,
in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on
each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not
accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the
Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid
on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section
2.13(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section 2.12. Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) The Credit Extensions
made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or
records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more
entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent,
acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section
5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrowers, in each case in the
ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by
the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie
evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit
Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest
and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in
doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the
obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with
respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between
the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts
and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters,
the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control
in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to
a Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, such Borrower
shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall
evidence such Lender's Loans to such Borrower in addition to such
accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and
endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency
and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. (b) In
addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section
2.12(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in
accordance with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the
case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register,
evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations
in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any
conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in
respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the
Administrative 61 Agent shall control in the absence of manifest
error. (c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent
in the Register pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and (b), and by each
Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and
(b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the
case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that
the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an
entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register
or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the
obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. Section 2.13. Payments Generally. (a) All payments
to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or
deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with
respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an
Alternative Currency, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall
be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable
Administrative Agent's Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not
later than 2:00 p.m. (or, in the case of Section 2.06(a)(iii), 3:00
p.m.) on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with
respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an
Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is
owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent's Office in such
Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the
Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates
specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under
this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason,
any Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required
payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall
make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the
Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will
promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other
applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds
as received by wire transfer to such Lender's Lending Office. All
payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m.
(or, in the case of Section 2.06(a)(iii), 3:00 p.m.), in the case
of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified
by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an
Alternative Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on the
next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee
shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by any Borrower
shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be
made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time
shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may
be. (b) Unless a Borrower or any Lender has notified the
Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to
be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that such
Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such
payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower or
such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and
may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make 62
available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If
and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then: (i) if a
Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith
on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such
assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in
immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in
respect of each day from and including the date such amount was
made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the
date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day
Funds at the Overnight Rate; and (ii) if any Lender failed to make
such payment with respect to any Committed Borrowing, such Lender
shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the
amount thereof in Same Day Funds together with interest thereon for
the period from the date such amount was made available by the
Administrative Agent to the relevant Borrower to the date such
amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the "COMPENSATION
PERIOD") at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate. When such
Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all
accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the
amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in
respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender's
Committed Loan included in the applicable Committed Borrowing. If
such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the
Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent
may make a demand therefor upon the Borrowers, and the Borrowers
shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with
interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum
equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable
Committed Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any
Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to
prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the
Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by
such Lender hereunder. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any
Lender or a Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this
Section 2.13(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (c) If
any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for
any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing
provisions of this Article 2, and such funds are not made available
to the relevant Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the
conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article
4 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof,
the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as
received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. (d)
The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans
and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line
Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make
any Committed Loan or to fund any such participation on any date
required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its
corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall
be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its
Committed Loan or purchase its participation. 63 (e) Nothing herein
shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any
Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a
representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain
the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. (f)
Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient
to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed
by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03.
If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the
Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan
Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not
specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to
distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with
such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the sum of (i) the Outstanding
Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (ii) the
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time,
in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or
other Obligations then owing to such Lender. Section 2.14. Sharing
of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein,
any Lender shall obtain on account of the Committed Loans made by
it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans
held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through
the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its
ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such
Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of
such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such
participations in the Committed Loans made by them and/or such
subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing
Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary
to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in
respect of such Committed Loans or such participations, as the case
may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any
portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the
purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in
Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by
the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to
that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the
purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with
an amount equal to such paying Lender's ratable share (according to
the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender's required
repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing
Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered,
without further interest thereon. The Borrowers agree that any
Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of
payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section
11.10) with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of
such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records
(which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest
error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.14 and will
in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or
repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to
this Section 2.14 shall from and after such purchase have the right
to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other
communications under 64 this Agreement with respect to the portion
of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the
purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations
purchased. Section 2.15. Designated Borrowers. (a) The Company may
at any time, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days' notice from
the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as
may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion),
designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (an "APPLICANT
BORROWER") as a Designated Borrower to receive Revolving Credit
Loans hereunder that are denominated in an Alternative Currency by
delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly
deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice
and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit H (a "DESIGNATED
BORROWER REQUEST AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT"). The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming
entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received such
supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of
counsel and other documents or information, in form, content and
scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may
be required by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders in
their sole discretion, and Notes signed by such new Borrowers to
the extent any Lenders so require. Promptly following receipt of
all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions
of counsel and other documents or information, the Administrative
Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit I (a
"DESIGNATED BORROWER NOTICE") to the Company and the Lenders
specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower
shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof,
whereupon each of the Lenders agrees to permit such Designated
Borrower to receive Revolving Credit Loans hereunder that are
denominated in an Alternative Currency, on the terms and conditions
set forth herein; provided that no Committed Loan Notice or Letter
of Credit Application may be submitted by or on behalf of such
Designated Borrower until the date that is five Business Days after
such effective date. (b) The Obligations of the Company and each
Designated Borrower that is a Domestic Subsidiary shall be joint
and several in nature. The Obligations of all Designated Borrowers
that are Foreign Subsidiaries shall be several in nature. (c) Each
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that becomes a "Designated
Borrower" pursuant to this Section 2.15 hereby irrevocably appoints
the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to this
Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the
giving and receipt of notices (including as agent for service of
process), (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents,
instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all
modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any
Loans made by the Lenders to any such Designated Borrower
hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or
other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if
given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly,
shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Company,
whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice,
demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other
communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each
Designated Borrower. 65 (d) The Company may from time to time, upon
not less than ten (10) Business Days' notice from the Company to
the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed
by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a
Designated Borrower's status as such, provided that there are no
outstanding Loans or L/C Obligations payable by such Designated
Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on
account of any Loans or Letters of Credit made to it, as of the
effective date of such termination. The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify the Lenders of any such termination of a Designated
Borrower's status. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the status of any Subsidiary as a Designated Borrower shall
terminate immediately if, at any time, the Company and such
Subsidiary are not able to make any of the representations set
forth below with respect to such Subsidiary at such time (the
occurrence of such situation with respect to such Subsidiary, a
"SPECIFIED REPRESENTATION DEFAULT"): (i) Such Designated Borrower
is subject to civil and commercial Laws with respect to its
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
which it is a party (collectively as to such Designated Borrower,
the "APPLICABLE DESIGNATED BORROWER DOCUMENTS"), and the execution,
delivery and performance by such Designated Borrower of the
Applicable Designated Borrower Documents constitute and will
constitute private and commercial acts and not public or
governmental acts. Neither such Designated Borrower nor any of its
property has any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from
any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment
prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or
otherwise) under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such
Designated Borrower is organized and existing in respect of its
obligations under the Applicable Designated Borrower Documents.
(ii) The Applicable Designated Borrower Documents are in proper
legal form under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which such
Designated Borrower is organized and existing for the enforcement
thereof against such Designated Borrower under the Laws of such
jurisdiction, and to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability,
priority or admissibility in evidence of the Applicable Designated
Borrower Documents. (iii) It is not necessary to ensure the
legality, validity, enforceability, priority or admissibility in
evidence of the Applicable Designated Borrower Documents that the
Applicable Designated Borrower Documents be filed, registered or
recorded with, or executed or notarized before, any court or other
authority in the jurisdiction in which such Designated Borrower is
organized and existing or that any registration charge or stamp or
similar tax be paid on or in respect of the Applicable Designated
Borrower Documents or any other document, except for (i) any such
filing, registration, recording, execution or notarization as has
been made or is not required to be made until the Applicable
Designated Borrower Document or any other document is sought to be
enforced and (ii) any charge or tax as has been timely paid. (iv)
There is no tax, levy, impost, duty, fee, assessment or other
governmental charge, or any deduction or withholding, imposed by
any Governmental Authority in or of the jurisdiction in which such
Designated Borrower is organized and existing either (i) 66 on or
by virtue of the execution or delivery of the Applicable Designated
Borrower Documents or (ii) on any payment to be made by such
Designated Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Designated Borrower
Documents, except as has been disclosed to the Administrative
Agent. (v) The execution, delivery and performance of the
Applicable Designated Borrower Documents executed by such
Designated Borrower are, under applicable foreign exchange control
regulations of the jurisdiction in which such Designated Borrower
is organized and existing, not subject to any notification or
authorization except (i) such as have been made or obtained or (ii)
such as cannot be made or obtained until a later date (provided
that any notification or authorization described in clause (ii)
shall be made or obtained as soon as is reasonably practicable).
The Company agrees to give prompt notice to the Administrative
Agent of any Specified Representation Default with respect to any
Subsidiary that is a Designated Borrower, and within the later of
(x) five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of such Specified
Representation Default or (y) in the case of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans, the ending date of the applicable Interest Period, such
Subsidiary shall pay in full the unpaid principal of and interest
on all its outstanding Loans and Cash Collateralize the then
Outstanding Amount of all its L/C Obligations (in an amount equal
to the then Outstanding Amount thereof), failing which the Company
shall forthwith make such payments and post such Cash Collateral
pursuant to its guarantee thereof set forth in Article 10. Nothing
in this Section 2.15(e) shall limit or otherwise affect the
Guarantor Parties' obligations under Article 10. Section 2.16.
Increase in Commitments. (a) Upon notice to the Administrative
Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), at any time after
the Closing Date, the Company may on up to ten different occasions
request additional Term Commitments and/or additional Revolving
Credit Commitments; provided that (i) after giving effect to any
such addition, the aggregate amount of all additional Term
Commitments and additional Revolving Credit Commitments that have
been added pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall not exceed
$600,000,000, and (ii) any such addition shall be in an aggregate
amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof. (b) Any loans made in respect of any such additional Term
Commitments (the "ADDITIONAL TERM LOANS") may be made, at the
option of the Company, either by (i) increasing the Term Loans with
the same terms (including pricing) as the existing Term Loans, or
(ii) creating a new tranche of terms loans (an "ADDITIONAL TERM
LOAN TRANCHE"); provided that any Additional Term Loan Tranche (A)
shall not mature prior to the stated Maturity Date and (B) the
Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Additional Term Loan
Tranche shall be no less than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity
of the Term Loans. (c) Any such additional Revolving Credit
Commitments (the "ADDITIONAL REVOLVING CREDIT COMMITMENTS") may be
made, at the option of the Company, by either (i) increasing the US
Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments or the Multicurrency Revolving
Credit Commitments with the same terms (including pricing and
currency) as the existing US Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments or
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be or
(ii) creating a new tranche of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Facility with the Additional 67 Revolving Credit Commitments of
Lenders willing to fund in an Additional Alternative Currency
pursuant to which Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans under such
new tranche may be denominated in such Additional Alternative
Currency. (d) At the time of the sending of notice requesting
additional Term Commitments and/or additional Revolving Credit
Commitments, the Company (in consultation with the Administrative
Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is
requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten
Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the
Lenders). Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within
such time period whether or not it agrees to provide an additional
Term Commitment or Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, and,
if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than
its Pro Rata Share of such requested increase (which shall be
calculated on the basis of the amount of the funded and unfunded
exposure under all the Facilities held by each Lender). Any Lender
not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have
declined to provide an additional Term Commitment or Revolving
Credit Commitment, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall
notify the Company and each Lender of the Lenders' responses to
each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a
requested increase, the Company may also invite additional Eligible
Assignees to become Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as
applicable, pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its
counsel. (e) If any Term Commitments or Revolving Credit
Commitments are added in accordance with this Section 2.16, the
Administrative Agent and the Company shall determine the effective
date (the "ADDITIONAL COMMITMENTS EFFECTIVE DATE") and the final
allocation of such addition. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of the final allocation
of such addition and the Additional Commitments Effective Date. As
a condition precedent to such addition, the Company shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Company dated as
of the Additional Commitments Effective Date signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Company certifying that, before and
after giving effect to such increase, (i) the representations and
warranties contained in Article 5 and the other Loan Documents are
true and correct in all material respects on and as of the
Additional Commitments Effective Date, except to the extent that
such representations and warranties specifically refer to an
earlier date, in which case they shall have been true and correct
in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that
for purposes of this Section 2.16(e), the representations and
warranties contained in Section 5.05(a) and (b) shall be deemed to
refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to
subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, and (ii) no
Default exists before or after giving effect to such addition. (f)
On each Additional Commitments Effective Date, (i) each Lender or
Eligible Assignee which is providing an additional Term Commitment
(A) shall become a "Term Lender" for all purposes of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and (B) shall make an Additional Term
Loan to the Company in a principal amount equal to such additional
Term Commitment, and such Additional Term Loan shall be a "Term
Loan" for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents (except that the interest rate applicable to any
Additional Term Loan under an Additional Term Loan Tranche may be
as agreed by the Company and the applicable Lenders providing the
additional Term Commitments) and (ii) each Lender or Eligible
Assignee which is providing an additional Revolving Credit
Commitment 68 shall become a "Revolving Credit Lender" for all
purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with a
Revolving Credit Commitment that is increased by (in the case of an
existing Revolving Credit Lender) or equal to (in the case of a new
Revolving Credit Lender) such additional Revolving Credit
Commitment. ARTICLE 3 TAXES, INCREASED COSTS AND ILLEGALITY Section
3.01. Taxes. (a) Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and
all payments by any Borrower to or for the account of any Agent or
any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of
and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes,
duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees,
withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including
additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto,
excluding, in the case of each Agent and each Lender, taxes imposed
on or measured by its net income or overall gross income (including
branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed on it in
lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction (or any political
subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which such Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, is organized, is (or was, during the
relevant period) doing business or maintains a Lending Office, and
all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and
interest) with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes,
duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees,
withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter
referred to as "TAXES"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any withholding tax imposed at any time on
payments made by or on behalf of a Designated Borrower to any
Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be deemed
to be Taxes hereunder so long as such Lender shall have complied
with Section 11.16. (b) If any Borrower shall be required by any
Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) except to
the extent provided in Sections 3.01(e) and 3.01(f) below, the sum
payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section 3.01), each of such Agent and such
Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make
such deductions, (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the
date of such payment, such Borrower shall furnish to such Agent or
Lender (as the case may be) the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt is
issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (c) Each
Borrower also agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp,
court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property,
intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar levies
which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from
the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration
of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter
referred to as "OTHER TAXES"). (d) Each Borrower agrees to
indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of
Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed
or asserted by 69 any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this
Section 3.01) paid by such Agent and such Lender, and (ii) any
liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case
whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority;
provided such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, provides such
Borrower with a written statement thereof setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts.
Payment under this Section 3.01(d) shall be made within 30 days
after the date such Lender or such Agent makes a demand therefor.
(e) No Borrower shall be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to
pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender or Agent,
as the case may be, to the extent that such Lender or such Agent
becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if
later, the date such Lender or Agent becomes a party to this
Agreement) as a result of a change in the place of organization of
such Lender or Agent or a change in the Lending Office of such
Lender, except to the extent that any such change is requested or
required in writing by any Borrower (and provided that nothing in
this clause (e) shall be construed as relieving any Borrower from
any obligation to make such payments or indemnification in the
event of a change in Lending Office or place of organization that
precedes a change in Law to the extent such Taxes result from a
change in Law). (f) If a Lender or an Agent is subject to United
States withholding tax at a rate in excess of zero percent at the
time such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, first becomes a
party to this Agreement, withholding tax at such rate shall be
considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender or
Agent, as the case may be, provides the appropriate forms
certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at
such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for
periods governed by such forms; provided that, if at the date of
the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which a Lender becomes a
party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to
payments under clause (a) of this Section 3.01 in respect of United
States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date,
then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to
withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other
amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding
tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such
date. (g) If any Lender or Agent shall become aware that it is
entitled to receive a refund in respect of amounts paid by any
Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, which refund in the good
faith judgment of such Lender or Agent is allocable to such
payment, it shall promptly notify such Borrower of the availability
of such refund and shall, within 30 days after the receipt of a
request by such Borrower, apply for such refund; provided that in
the sole reasonable judgment of the Lender or Agent, applying for
such refund would not be disadvantageous to it. (h) If any Lender
or Agent receives a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes
as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to
it by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly
remit such refund (including any interest included in such refund)
to such Borrower (to the extent that it determines that it can do
so without prejudice to the retention of the refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be;
provided that the relevant Borrower, upon the request of the Lender
or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund
to such party in the event such party is 70 required to repay such
refund to the relevant taxing authority. Such Lender or Agent, as
the case may be, shall, at such Borrower's request, provide such
Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence
of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant
taxing authority; provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any
information therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential.
(i) Nothing in this Section 3.01 shall interfere with the right of
a Lender or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it
thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund
or to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any
computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Agent to
do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any
other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which
it may be entitled. Section 3.02. Illegality. If any Lender
determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any
Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund
Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether denominated in Dollars or an
Alternative Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates
based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice thereof by such
Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any
obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate
Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars, to convert Base Rate Committed
Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall be suspended until such
Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.
Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from
such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or,
if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert
all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans,
either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such
Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate
Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully
continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued
interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees
to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will
avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith
judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to
such Lender. Section 3.03. Inability to Determine Rates. If the
Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate
for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurocurrency Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an
Alternative Currency), or that the Eurocurrency Rate for any
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency
Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of funding such Loan, or that deposits (whether in Dollars
or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the
applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the
applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate
Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the
Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the
Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected
currency or currencies shall be suspended until the Administrative
Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such
notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any
pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation
of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans in the affected currency or
currencies or, failing that, 71 will be deemed to have converted
such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans in the amount specified therein. Section 3.04. Increased Cost
and Reduced Return. If any Lender determines that as a result of
the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of
any Law, in each case after the date hereof, or such Lender's
compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to
such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
Eurocurrency Rate Loans or (as the case may be) issuing or
participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount
received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the
foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04 any such
increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or
Other Taxes (as to which Section 3.01 and Section 11.16 shall
govern), (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net
income or overall gross income (including branch profits), and
franchise (and similar) taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes,
by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political
subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender
is organized, is doing business or maintains a Lending Office,
(iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.06 and (iv)
the requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services
Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory
Cost to the extent the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, is
sufficient to cover the cost to the applicable Lender of complying
with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial
Services Authority or the European Central Bank in relation to its
making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans), then from
time to time within 30 days following written demand of such Lender
setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a
copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance
with Section 3.08), the Company shall pay (or cause the applicable
Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender such
