FEES, PAYMENTS AND OTHER

Section 3.01 Audit and
Collateral Monitoring Fees . The Issuer acknowledges that
pursuant to Section 6.01(f) , representatives of Agent
may visit any Issuer Party or any of its
28
Subsidiaries or conduct audits, inspections or
field examinations of any Issuer Party or any of its Subsidiaries
and valuations or appraisals of any or all of the Collateral or
business or enterprise valuations of the Issuer Parties or any of
their Subsidiaries at any time and from time to time. So long as no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
such audits, inspections and examinations will be at reasonable
times and in reasonable intervals, in a manner so as to not unduly
disrupt the business of such Issuer Party or their applicable
Subsidiaries, and if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, such access shall not be limited. The Issuer agrees to
pay (i) all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, traveling expenses) incurred in
connection with all such visits, audits, inspections, valuations,
and field examinations and (ii) the reasonable cost of all
audits, appraisals and business valuations (including enterprise
valuation appraisals) conducted by third party auditors or
appraisers on behalf of Agent.
Section 3.02 Payments;
Computations and Statements .
(a) The Issuer will make each
payment under this Agreement and the Notes not later than 9:00 a.m.
on the day when due, in lawful money of the United States of
America and in immediately available funds. All payments received
after 9:00 a.m. on any Business Day will be credited on the next
succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be made by the Issuer
without set-off, counterclaim, deduction or other defense to Agent
and the Purchasers. After receipt, Agent will promptly thereafter
cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of any
Obligations ratably to the Purchasers in accordance with their Pro
Rata Shares and like funds relating to the payment of any other
amount payable to such Purchaser and received by Agent, in each
case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
The Purchasers and the Issuer hereby authorize Agent to, and Agent
may, from time to time, charge the Note Account with any amount due
and payable by the Issuer under any Purchase Document. Each of the
Purchasers and the Issuer agrees that Agent shall have the right to
make such charges whether or not any Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing. Any amount charged to the
Note Account shall be deemed an Obligation hereunder and shall be
payable on demand. The Purchasers and the Issuer confirm that any
charges which Agent may so make to the Note Account as herein
provided will be made as an accommodation to the Issuer and solely
at Agent’s discretion. Whenever any payment to be made under
any Purchase Document shall be stated to be due on a day other than
a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may
be. All computations of fees shall be made by Agent on the basis of
a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including
the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period
for which such fees are payable. Each determination by Agent of an
interest rate or fees hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes in the absence of manifest error.
(b) Agent shall provide the Issuer,
promptly upon written request from the Issuer, a summary statement
of the balances in the Note Account during any month, and the
amount and nature of any charges to the Note Account made during
such month on account of fees, commissions, expenses and other
Obligations. All entries on any such statement shall be presumed to
be correct and shall be final and conclusive absent manifest
error.
29
Section 3.03 Sharing of
Payments, Etc . If any Purchaser shall obtain any payment
(whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right
of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Obligation in excess of
its ratable share of payments on account of similar obligations
obtained by all the Purchasers, such Purchaser shall forthwith
purchase from the other Purchasers such participations in such
similar obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause
such purchasing Purchaser to share the excess payment ratably with
each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such
excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Purchaser, such purchase from each Purchaser shall be rescinded and
such Purchaser shall repay to the purchasing Purchaser the purchase
price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal
to such Purchaser’s ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such Purchaser’s
required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from
the purchasing Purchaser of any interest or other amount paid by
the purchasing Purchaser in respect of the total amount so
recovered). The Issuer agrees that any Purchaser so purchasing a
participation from another Purchaser pursuant to this
Section 3.03 may, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, exercise all of its rights (including the Purchaser’s
right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if
such Purchaser were the direct creditor of the Issuer in the amount
of such participation.
Section 3.04 Apportionment
of Payments . Subject to any written agreement or other
arrangement among Agent or the Purchasers:
(a) All payments of principal and
interest in respect of the outstanding Notes, all payments of fees
(other than the audit and collateral monitoring fees provided for
in Section 3.01 , and any other amounts payable in
respect of the Securities) and all other payments in respect of any
other Obligations, shall be allocated among such of the Purchasers
as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata
Share or otherwise as provided herein or, in respect of payments
not made on account of the Obligations as designated by the Person
making payment when the payment is made.
(b) After the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, and upon the
direction of the Required Purchasers shall, apply all payments in
respect of any Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (i) first
, to pay the Obligations consisting of any fees, expense
reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due to Agent
until paid in full; (ii) second , to pay interest due
in respect of Agent Advances until paid in full; (iii)
third , to pay principal of Agent Advances until paid in

seventh , to the ratable payment of all other Obligations

Section 3.04(b) (other than clause (vii)
thereof), “paid in full” means with respect to any
Obligations, payment of all amounts owing under the Purchase
Documents in respect of such Obligations, including fees, interest,
default
30
interest, interest on interest, cash
payments, expense reimbursements and indemnities, specifically
including in each case any of the foregoing which would accrue
after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding irrespective of
whether a claim is allowable in such Insolvency Proceeding, except
to the extent that default or overdue interest (but not any other
interest) and fees, each arising from or related to a default, are
disallowed in any Insolvency Proceeding; provided ,
however , that for purposes of such clause (vii) ,
“paid in full” means with respect to any Obligations,
payment of all amounts owing under the Purchase Documents in
respect of such Obligations, including fees, interest, default
interest, interest on interest, cash payments, expense
reimbursements and indemnities, specifically including in each case
any of the foregoing which would accrue after the commencement of
any Insolvency Proceeding irrespective of whether a claim is
allowable in such Insolvency Proceeding.
(d) In the event of a direct
conflict between the priority provisions of this
Section 3.04 and other provisions contained in any
other Purchase Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto
that both such priority provisions in such documents shall be read
together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in
concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable
conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and
provisions of this Section 3.04 shall control and
govern.
Section 3.05 Increased Costs
and Reduced Return .
(a) If any Purchaser or Agent shall
have determined that the adoption or implementation of, or any
change in, any law, rule, treaty or regulation, or any policy,

Purchaser or Agent or any Person controlling any such Purchaser or
Agent with any directive of, or guideline from, any central bank or
other Governmental Authority or the introduction of, or change in,

any Person controlling any such Purchaser or Agent (in each case,
whether or not having the force of law) (each, a “ Change
in Law ”), shall (i) subject any Purchaser, Agent or
any Person controlling any such Purchaser or Agent to any tax, duty
or other charge with respect to this Agreement or the Notes issued
to such Purchaser or Agent or change the basis of taxation of
payments to any Purchaser, Agent or any Person controlling any such
Purchaser or Agent of any amounts payable hereunder (except for
taxes on the overall net income of any Purchaser, Agent or any
Person controlling any such Purchaser or Agent), (ii) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against the Notes, or against assets of or held by, or
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any
Purchaser, Agent or any Person controlling any such Purchaser or
Agent or (iii) impose on any Purchaser, Agent or any Person
controlling any such Purchaser or Agent any other condition
regarding this Agreement or the Notes, and the result of any event
referred to in clauses (i) , (ii) or
(iii) above shall be to increase the cost to any
Purchaser or Agent holding Notes, or to reduce any amount received
or receivable by any Purchaser or Agent hereunder, then, upon
demand by any such Purchaser or Agent, the Issuer shall pay to such
Purchaser or Agent such additional amounts as will compensate such
Purchaser or Agent for such increased costs or reductions in
amount.
31
(b) If any Purchaser or Agent shall
have determined that any Change in Law either (i) affects or
would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by any Purchaser, Agent or any Person controlling such
Purchaser or Agent and any Purchaser or Agent determines that the
amount of such capital is increased as a direct or indirect
consequence of the Notes, any Purchaser’s, Agent’s or
any such other controlling Person’s other obligations
hereunder, or (ii) has or would have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on any Purchaser’s or Agent’s or any
such other controlling Person’s capital to a level below that
which such Purchaser, Agent or such controlling Person could have
achieved but for such circumstances as a consequence of the Notes,
or such Purchaser’s, Agent’s or such other controlling
Person’s other obligations hereunder (in each case, taking
into consideration, such Purchaser’s or Agent‘s or such
other controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital
adequacy), then, upon demand by any Purchaser or Agent, the Issuer
shall pay to such Purchaser or Agent from time to time such
additional amounts as will compensate such Purchaser or Agent for
such cost of maintaining such increased capital or such reduction
in the rate of return on such Purchaser’s or Agent’s or
such other controlling Person’s capital.

Issuer Parties agrees that no information set forth in Schedule

faith by the Issuer, and have been based on assumptions believed by
the Issuer to be reasonable at the time made and upon the best
