the terms and conditions contained herein, such Fronting Bank shall
issue, for the account of the Borrower or a Guarantor one or more
Letters of Credit, provided , that no Letter of Credit shall
be issued if after giving effect to such issuance (i) the aggregate
Letter of Credit Outstandings shall exceed $100,000,000 or (ii) the
aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings, when added to the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Loans,

Fronting Bank shall have received notice from either Agent (in
consultation with the other Agent) or the Required Lenders that the
conditions to such issuance have not been met.
-
No Letter of Credit shall expire later than
the Maturity Date, provided that if any Letter of Credit

at or prior to the Termination Date, except as either Agent (in
consultation with the other Agent) may otherwise agree in writing,
(i) cause all Letters of Credit which expire after the Termination
Date to be returned to the Fronting Bank undrawn and marked
"cancelled" or (ii) if the Borrower is unable to do so in whole or
in part, either (x) provide a "back-to-back" letter of credit to
one or more Fronting Banks in a form reasonably satisfactory to
such Fronting Bank and the Agents, issued by a bank reasonably
satisfactory to such Fronting Bank and the Agents, and in an amount
equal to 105% of the then undrawn stated amount of all outstanding
Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Banks (less the amount,
if any, then on deposit in the Letter of Credit Account) and/or (y)
deposit cash in the Letter of Credit Account in an amount equal to
105% of the then undrawn stated amount of all Letter of Credit
Outstandings ( less the amount of cash, if any, then on
deposit in the Letter of Credit Account) as collateral security for
the Borrower's reimbursement obligations in connection therewith,
such cash to be remitted to the Borrower upon the expiration,
cancellation or other termination or satisfaction of such
reimbursement obligations and the other Obligations (other than
contingent indemnification obligations in respect of which no
claims giving rise thereto have been asserted) hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents.
-
The Borrower shall pay to each Fronting
Bank, in addition to such other fees and charges as are
specifically provided for in Section 2.21 hereof, such fees and
charges in connection with the issuance and processing of the
Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank as are customarily
imposed by such Fronting Bank from time to time in connection with
letter of credit transactions.
-
Drafts drawn under each Letter of Credit
shall be reimbursed by the Borrower in Dollars not later than the
first Business Day following the date of draw and shall bear
interest from the date of draw until the first Business Day
following the date of draw at a rate per annum equal to the
Alternate Base Rate plus [
3.5 ]
3.25 % and thereafter on the reimbursed portion until
reimbursed in full at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base
Rate plus [ 5.5 ]
5.25 % (computed on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed over a year of 360 days or when the Alternate Base
Rate is based on the Prime Rate, a year with 365 days or 366 days
in a leap year). The Borrower shall effect such reimbursement (x)
if such draw occurs prior to the Termination Date, in cash or
through a Borrowing regardless of whether the conditions precedent
set forth in Section 4.02 are then met or (y) if such draw occurs
on or after the Termination Date, in cash. Each Tranche A Lender
agrees to make the Tranche A Loans described in clause (x) of the
preceding sentence notwithstanding a failure of the Borrower to
satisfy the applicable lending conditions thereto.
-
Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter
of Credit by any Fronting Bank, such Fronting Bank shall
automatically be deemed to have sold to each Tranche A Lender other
than such Fronting Bank and each such other Tranche A Lender shall
be deemed unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from
such Fronting Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation, to the extent of such Tranche A
Lender's Tranche A Commitment Percentage, in such Letter of Credit,
each drawing thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower and the
Guarantors under this Agreement with respect thereto. Upon any
change in the Tranche A Commitments pursuant to Section 10.03, it
is hereby agreed that with respect to all Letter of Credit
Outstandings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the
participations hereby created to reflect the new Tranche A
Commitment Percentages of the assigning and assignee Tranche A
Lenders. Any action taken or omitted by a Fronting Bank under or in
connection with a Letter of Credit shall not create for such
Fronting Bank any resulting liability to any other Lender except to
the extent that the actions or inactions of the Fronting Bank with
respect to such Letter of Credit are judicially determined to have
constituted bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.
-
In the event that a Fronting Bank makes any
payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have
reimbursed such amount in full to such Fronting Bank pursuant to
this Section, the Fronting Bank shall promptly notify the Paying
Agent, which shall promptly notify each Tranche A Lender of such
failure, and each Tranche A Lender shall promptly and
unconditionally pay to the Paying Agent (without defense, set-off,
counterclaim or other deduction) for the account of the Fronting
Bank the amount of such Tranche A Lender's Tranche A Commitment
Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in same day
funds. If the Fronting Bank so notifies the Paying Agent, and the
Paying Agent so notifies the Tranche A Lenders prior to 11:00 a.m.
(New York City time) on any Business Day, each Tranche A Lender
shall make available to the Fronting Bank such Tranche A Lender's
Tranche A Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment on
such Business Day in same day funds, and if the Paying Agent so
notifies the Tranche A Lenders after 11:00 a.m. (New York City
time), on the next Business Day. If and to the extent such Tranche
A Lender shall not have so made its Tranche A Commitment Percentage
of the amount of such payment available to the Fronting Bank, such
Tranche A Lender agrees to pay to such Fronting Bank, forthwith on
demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day
from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Paying
Agent for the account of such Fronting Bank at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate. The failure of any Tranche A Lender to make
available to the Fronting Bank its Tranche A Commitment Percentage
of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any
other Tranche A Lender of its obligation hereunder to make
available to the Fronting Bank its Tranche A Commitment Percentage
of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as
specified above, but no Tranche A Lender shall be responsible for
the failure of any other Tranche A Lender to make available to such
Fronting Bank such other Tranche A Lender's Tranche A Commitment
Percentage of any such payment. Whenever a Fronting Bank receives a
payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received
any payments from the Tranche A Lenders pursuant to this paragraph,
such Fronting Bank shall pay to each Tranche A Lender which has
paid its Tranche A Commitment Percentage thereof, in Dollars and in
same day funds, an amount equal to such Tranche A Lender's Tranche
A Commitment Percentage thereof.
-
Issuance . Whenever the Borrower
desires a Fronting Bank to issue a Letter of Credit, it shall give
to such Fronting Bank and the Paying Agent prior written (including
telegraphic, telex, facsimile or cable communication) notice
reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance specifying
the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit is to be issued
(which shall be a Business Day), the stated amount of the Letter of
Credit so requested, the expiration date of such Letter of Credit
and the name and address of the beneficiary thereof.
-
Nature of Letter of Credit Obligations
Absolute . The obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the
Tranche A Lenders for drawings made under any Letter of Credit
shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including, without limitation (it being understood
that any such payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice
to, and shall not constitute a waiver of, any rights the Borrower
might have or might acquire as a result of the payment by the
Fronting Bank of any draft or the reimbursement by the Borrower
thereof): (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter
of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or
other right which the Borrower or any Guarantor may have at any
time against a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or against any
of the Lenders, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction;
(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented
under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein
being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by a
Fronting Bank of any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate
or other document which does not comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit; (v) any other circumstance or happening
whatsoever, which is similar to any of the foregoing; or (vi) the
fact that any Event of Default or event which upon notice or lapse
of time or both would constitute an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing.

Commitment ,
Tranche B Commitment or
Tranche [
B ]
C Commitment with respect to any Eurodollar Loan or
ABR Loan by causing any lending office of such Lender to make such

not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Lender shall,
subject to its overall policy considerations, use reasonable
efforts (but shall not be obligated) to select a lending office
which will not result in the payment of increased costs by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15. Subject to the other provisions
of this Section and the provisions of Section 2.12, Borrowings of
Loans of more than one Type may be incurred at the same time,
provided that no more than ten (10) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans
may be outstanding at any time.

instructions. Such notice, to be effective, must be received by the
Paying Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
third Business Day in the case of Eurodollar Loans and 12:00 noon,
New York City time on the first Business Day in the case of ABR
Loans, preceding the date on which such Borrowing is to be made
except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.06(b).
Such notice shall specify whether the Borrowing then being
requested is to be a Borrowing of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans. If
no election is made as to the Type of Loan, such notice shall be
deemed a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans. The Paying Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender of its proportionate share of
such Borrowing, the date of such Borrowing, the Type of Borrowing
or Loans being requested and the Interest Period or Interest
Periods applicable thereto, as appropriate. On the borrowing date
specified in such notice, each Lender shall make its share of the
Borrowing available at the office of the Paying Agent at 270 Park
Avenue, New York, New York 10017, no later than 12:00 noon, New
York City time, in immediately available funds. Upon receipt of the
funds made available by the Lenders to fund any borrowing
hereunder, the Paying Agent shall disburse such funds in the manner
specified in the notice of borrowing delivered by the Borrower and
shall use reasonable efforts to make the funds so received from the
Lenders available to the Borrower no later than 2:00 p.m. New York
City time (other than as provided in the following sentence). With
respect to ABR Loans in an aggregate amount of $20,000,000 or less,

it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower
shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable

accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on
deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the London
interbank market. Upon request, each Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower from time to time one or more certificates setting forth

of such loss as determined by such Lender.

as provided for in Section 8.02(b), provided , that in the
latter case no Eurodollar Loans shall be prepaid pursuant to
Section 2.13 to the extent that such Loan has an Interest Period
ending after the required date of prepayment unless and until all
outstanding ABR Loans and Eurodollar Loans with Interest Periods
ending on such date have been repaid in full.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein,
if after the date of this Agreement any change in applicable law or
regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by
any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law)
shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the
principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender
or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than changes
in respect of Taxes, Other Taxes and taxes imposed on, or measured
by, the net income or overall gross receipts or franchise taxes of
such Lender by the national jurisdiction in which such Lender has
its principal office or in which the applicable lending office for
such Eurodollar Loan is located or by any political subdivision or
taxing authority therein, or by any other jurisdiction or by any
political subdivision or taxing authority therein other than a
jurisdiction in which such Lender would not be subject to tax but
for the execution and performance of this Agreement), or shall
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the
account of or credit extended by such Lender (except any such
reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate)
or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any
other condition affecting this Agreement or the Eurodollar Loans
made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall
be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any
Eurodollar Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest
or otherwise), in each case, by an amount deemed by such Lender to
be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender in
accordance with paragraph (c) below such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered.
-
If any Lender shall have determined that
the adoption or effectiveness after the date hereof of any law,
rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any
change in any of the foregoing or in the interpretation or
administration of any of the foregoing by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any
Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or any Lender's
holding company with any request or directive regarding capital
adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or
on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement, the Loans made by such Lender
pursuant hereto, such Lender's Tranche A Commitment [
or ]
, Tranche B
Commitment
or Tranche C Commitment
hereunder, as the case may be, or the issuance of, or participation
in, any Letter of Credit by such Lender to a level below that which
such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved
but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into account
Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company
with respect to capital adequacy), in each case, by an amount
deemed by such Lender to be material (except to the extent that
such amount is reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate), then from
time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's
holding company for any such reduction suffered.
-
A certificate of each Lender setting forth
such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such
Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b)
above, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrower and
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay
each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate
delivered to it within 10 days after its receipt of the same. Any
Lender receiving any such payment shall promptly make a refund
thereof to the Borrower if the law, regulation, guideline or change
in circumstances giving rise to such payment is subsequently deemed
or held to be invalid or inapplicable.
-
Failure on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts
received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with
respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender's right to demand compensation with respect to such period
or any other period, provided , that the Borrower shall not
be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any
increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to
the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstance
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such
Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor. The protection
of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any
possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the
law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which
shall have occurred or been imposed.
-
The obligations of the Borrower and the
Guarantors under this Section shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and/or the payment of the Loans.

Change in Legality .
-
-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if (x) any change after the
date of this Agreement in any law or regulation or in the
interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with
the administration thereof shall make it unlawful for a Lender to
make or maintain a Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its
obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to a Eurodollar
Loan or (y) at any time any Lender reasonably determines that the
making or continuance of any of its Eurodollar Loans has become
impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date
hereof which adversely affects the London interbank market or the
position of such Lender in such market, then, by written notice to
the Borrower, such Lender may (i) declare that Eurodollar Loans
will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any
request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing shall, as to
such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan unless such
declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and (ii) require that
all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR
Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be
automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of
such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below. In the event any
Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) of this
paragraph (a), all payments and prepayments of principal which
would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans
that would have been made by such Lender or the converted
Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay
the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the
conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.
-
For purposes of this Section 2.16, a notice
to the Borrower by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall
be effective, if lawful, and if any Eurodollar Loans shall then be
outstanding, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period,
otherwise, such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by
the Borrower.

asserted on or attributable to any amount payable under this
Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses
