SECTION 2.02. MAKING THE ADVANCES. (a) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telex or telecopier. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a "NOTICE OF BORROWING") 22 shall be in writing, or telex or telecopier, in substantially the form of EXHIBIT B-1 hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Account, in same day funds, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent's receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower by crediting the Borrower's Account; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in the case of any Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall first make a portion of such funds equal to the aggregate principal amount of any Letter of Credit Advances made by the Issuing Bank, and by any other Lender and outstanding on the date of such Borrowing, PLUS interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such date, available to the Issuing Bank, and such other Lenders for repayment of such Letter of Credit Advances. (b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances or for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $5,000,000 or if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.08 or 2.09 and (ii) no more than five Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be outstanding at any time. (c) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Person as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing under the Facility under which such Lender has a Commitment that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such Pro Rata Share available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time under Section 2.06 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute such Lender's Advance as part of such Borrowing for all purposes. (e) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance 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 Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing. 23 SECTION 2.02(A). ISSUANCE OF AND DRAWINGS AND REIMBURSEMENT UNDER LETTERS OF CREDIT. (a) REQUEST FOR ISSUANCE.

(New York City time) on the third Business Day (or such shorter period agreed to by the Issuing Bank) prior to the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each such request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit (a "LETTER OF CREDIT REQUEST") may be delivered by facsimile transmission and the Issuing Bank and Administrative Agent may act on any such facsimile notice without the need to obtain the original of such notice. If so required by the Issuing Bank, each Letter of Credit Request shall be accompanied by the Issuing Bank's standard form of application and agreement for Letters of Credit (a "LETTER OF CREDIT AGREEMENT"). If the requested Letter of Credit is acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion and provided that the Issuing Bank has received the authorization of the Administrative Agent to such issuance, the Issuing Bank will, upon the fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, issue such Letter of Credit. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement will govern. (b) LETTER OF CREDIT REPORTS. Promptly after the issuance or amendment of any Letter of Credit the Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in writing, of such issuance or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such issuance or amendment. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender, in writing, of such issuance or amendment and if so requested by a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall provide such Lender with copies of such issuance or amendment. The Issuing Bank shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (unless the Issuing Bank shall be the Administrative Agent) by facsimile on the first Business Day of each month, a written report summarizing the aggregate daily Available Amounts for Letters of Credit during the preceding month. (c) DRAWING AND REIMBURSEMENT. The payment by the Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by the Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit Advance, which shall be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft. Upon written demand by the Issuing Bank with an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall purchase from the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank shall sell and assign to each such Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Letter of Credit Advance as of the date of such purchase, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent's Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Letter of Credit Advance to be purchased by such Lender. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall transfer such funds to the Issuing Bank. The Borrower hereby agrees to each such sale and assignment. Each Lender agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the Issuing Bank which made such Advance, PROVIDED that notice of such demand is given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. Upon any such assignment by the Issuing Bank to any Lender of a portion of a Letter of Credit Advance, the Issuing Bank represents and warrants to such other Lender that the Issuing Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, free and clear of any liens, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility (other than as set forth in Section 7.05(d)) with respect to such Letter of Credit Advance, the Loan Documents or any Loan Party. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Letter of Credit Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by the Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its account or the account of the Issuing Bank, as 24 applicable. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advance made by the Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day. (d) FAILURE TO MAKE LETTER OF CREDIT ADVANCES. The failure of any Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.02(A)(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Letter of Credit Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date. SECTION 2.03. Repayment of Advances. (a) REVOLVING CREDIT ADVANCES. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders' Pro Rata Shares on the Termination Date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding, together with all accrued interest and any other sums outstanding under the Loan Documents (which amounts shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.05).

(New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, Convert all or any portion of the Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances is made other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 8.04(c), (x) any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(b), (y) no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b) and (z) each Conversion of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing under the Facility shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share under the Facility. Each such notice of Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for such Advances. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. (b) MANDATORY. (i) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $5,000,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances. 28 (ii) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of "Interest Period" in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a new Eurodollar Rate Advance with an Interest Period of one month unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from the Borrower not less that three days prior to the last day of the then existing Interest Period. (iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and upon notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, (x) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor (or immediately at the option of the Administrative Agent and subject to Section 8.04(c)), Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (y) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended. SECTION 2.09. INCREASED COSTS, ETC. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender Party of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit or of agreeing to make or of making or maintaining Letter of Credit Advances (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.09, any such increased costs resulting from (x) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.11 shall govern) and (y) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender Party is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost; provided, however, that a Lender Party claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.09(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (b) If any Lender Party determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender Party's commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or the issuance or maintenance of or participation in the Letters of Credit (or similar contingent obligations), then, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party's commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of or participation in any Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 29 (c) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances under the Facility, Lenders owed at least 50% of the then aggregate unpaid principal amount thereof notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. SECTION 2.10. PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Account in same day funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder or under the Notes, ratably in accordance with the Pro Rata Share of such Obligations then payable and (ii) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of any fees or expenses payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account and not to any Lender Party (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder), to such Persons as they may instruct, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Fee Letter, as applicable. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender Party assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. (b) If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations under the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Advances or 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 Lender Party ratably in accordance with such Lender Party's Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of all outstanding Advances and the Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding 30 Advances or other Obligations owed to such Lender Party, and for application to such principal installments, as the Administrative Agent shall direct. (c) All computations of interest, fees and commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes 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 payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case may be; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if such extension would cause any payment to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day and such adjustment of time shall in such case be reflected in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case may be. (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. SECTION 2.11. TAXES. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.10, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, EXCLUDING, in the case of each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income by the United States and taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender Party, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender Party's Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as "TAXES"). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under the Notes to any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.11) such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make all such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other governmental authority in accordance with applicable law. (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under 31 the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as "OTHER TAXES"). (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.11, imposed on or paid by such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 10 days from the date such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. (d) Within ten days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes by or on behalf of the Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or on behalf of the Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if the Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 2.11, the terms "UNITED STATES" and "UNITED STATES PERSON" shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. (e) Each Lender Party organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but only so long thereafter as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service forms W8-ECI or W8-BEN, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes. If the forms provided by a Lender Party at the time such Lender Party first becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender Party 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, HOWEVEr, that if, at the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender Party becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender Party assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) of this Section 2.11 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 Party assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form W8-ECI or W8-BEN, that the Lender Party reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender Party shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information. (f) For any period with respect to which a Lender Party has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in subsection (e) above (OTHER THAN if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided or if such form otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such Lender Party shall not be entitled to 32 indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.11 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that should a Lender Party become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender Party shall reasonably request to assist such Lender Party to recover such Taxes. (g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment of and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or the Lender Parties, as the case may be, relating to such U.S. tax treatment and tax structure.

The Borrower agrees that any Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.12 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.

The proceeds of the Advances and issuances of Letters of Credit shall be available solely to finance capital improvements, repay existing indebtedness, acquire first class, full service hotels, provide working capital and for general corporate purposes of the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Parent Guarantor, but shall not be used for the payment of dividends by the Parent Guarantor.

(ii) Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 4.01(S), there are no leases covering any portion of any of the Borrowing Base Properties, whether for present or future rights of occupancy, which cannot be terminated upon 30 days' notice. Except for Permitted Liens, neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party has executed any prior assignment of the leases, nor has it performed any act or executed any other instrument which might prevent the Administrative Agent from operating under or enforcing any of the terms and conditions of the mortgages applicable to the Administrative Agent's security interest in such leases or which would limit the Administrative Agent in such operation. (jj) All of the improvements situated on each Borrowing Base Properties are in good condition and repair. Neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party is aware of any latent or patent structural or other significant defect or deficiency in the improvements. City water supply, storm and sanitary sewers, and electrical and telephone facilities are available to each Borrowing Base Property within the boundary lines of such Borrowing Base Property, and are sufficient to meet the reasonable needs of each Borrowing Base Property as now used or contemplated to be used; no other utility facilities are necessary to meet the reasonable needs of such Borrowing Base Property as now used; and the as-built condition of such Borrowing Base Property is such 47 that surface and storm water does not accumulate in other than insubstantial quantities on the Borrowing Base Property and does not drain from the Borrowing Base Property across land of adjacent Borrowing Base Property owners. As shown on the "as built" survey for each Borrowing Base Property, none of the improvements on any of the Borrowing Base Properties create an encroachment over, across or upon any of the Borrowing Base Properties' boundary lines, rights of way or easements, and no building or other improvement on adjoining land creates such an encroachment. (kk) Except for Permitted Liens, there are no mechanics' or materialmen's liens, alienable bills or other claims constituting or that may constitute a lien on any of the Borrowing Base Properties or any part thereof, and no work for which any such lien could be asserted has been performed within the last 90 days, a claim for which has not been insured against under the Mortgagee Title Insurance Policies relating to the Borrowing Base Property upon which such work has been performed. (ll) No Loan Party has made any extension of credit to any of its directors or executive officers in contravention of the restrictions set forth in Section 402(a) of Sarbanes-Oxley. (mm) Each representation and warranty set forth in Article 4 of the Existing Agreement is true, correct and complete as of the Closing Date, subject to the revised Schedules included herein.

At the request of the Administrative Agent, provide to the Lender Parties within 60 days after such request, at the expense of the Borrower (provided, HOWEVER, that Borrower shall only be required to pay for such report after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default or if the Administrative Agent's request results from its belief that there has been a release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials at any of Borrower's or any of its Subsidiaries' property), a Phase I environmental site assessment report for any of its or its Subsidiaries' properties described in such request, prepared by an environmental consulting firm acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and, if based upon the recommendation of such environmental consulting firm, a Phase II environmental site assessment report) indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Materials and the estimated cost of any compliance, removal or remedial action in connection with any Hazardous Materials on such properties; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent determines at any time that a material risk exists that any such requested report will not be provided within the time referred to above, the Administrative Agent may retain an 50 environmental consulting firm to prepare such report at the expense of the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby grants and agrees to cause any Subsidiary that owns any property described in such request to grant at the time of such request, to the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties, such firm and any agents or representatives thereof an irrevocable non-exclusive license, subject to the rights of tenants, to enter onto their respective properties to undertake such an assessment.

SECTION 7.05. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify each of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender Party's Pro Rata Share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED COSTS"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnified Costs resulting from such Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 8.04, to the extent that the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. For purposes of this Section 7.05, the Lender Parties' respective Pro Rata Shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lender Parties, PLUS (y) their respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time, PLUS (z) their respective Unused 67 Commitments at such time, PROVIDED that the aggregate principal amount of Letter of Credit Advances owing to the Issuing Bank shall be considered to be owed to the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments. (b) In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Secured Party or a third party. The failure of any Lender Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, or the Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Parties to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, or the Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, or the Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent for its Pro Rata Share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, or the Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent for such other Lender Party's Pro Rata Share of such amount. (c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender Party contained in this Section 7.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event that any Defaulted Advance shall be owing by any Defaulting Lender at any time, such Lender Party's Commitment shall be considered to be unused for the purposes of this Section 7.05(c) to the extent of the amount of such Defaulted Advance. (d) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify the Issuing Bank (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender Party's Pro Rata Share (determined as provided above) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Issuing Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 8.04, to the extent that the Issuing Bank is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. SECTION 7.06. SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENTS. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lender Parties and the Borrower and may be removed at any time for gross negligence or willful misconduct by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and signed by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders' removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $400,000,000.

If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal under this Section 7.06 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS; SECURED PARTY ACTION. (a) Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents as secured party on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Collateral Documents; PROVIDED that anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) The Administrative Agent is authorized on behalf of all Secured Parties, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Secured Parties, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Secured Parties will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent's authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section. (b) Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, each Secured Party agrees that no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents or make demand under the Guaranties (including, without limitation, through the exercise of a right of set-off against call deposits of such Secured Party in which any funds on deposit in accordance with the Collateral Documents may from time to time be invested), it being understood and agreed that all rights and remedies under the Collateral 69 Documents and the Guaranties may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. SECTION 7.09. CERTAIN ACTIONS AFTER AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. (a) Upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of notice of an Event of Default pursuant to this Agreement or the Administrative Agent's otherwise obtaining actual knowledge of the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall deliver notice of such Event of Default to Lender Parties.

(b) (i) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Secured Parties and the affiliated entities, directors, officers, employees, legal counsel, agents and controlling persons (within the meaning of the federal securities laws) of each of the Secured Parties (collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES"), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements and any and all actions, suits, proceedings and investigations in respect thereof and any and all legal or other costs, expenses and disbursements in giving testimony or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise (including, without limitation, the costs, expenses and disbursements, as and when incurred, of investigating, preparing or defending any such action, proceeding or investigation (whether or not in connection with litigation in which any of the Indemnified Parties is a party) and including, without limitation, any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements, resulting from any negligent act or omission of any of the Indemnified Parties), directly or indirectly, caused by, relating to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with (A) the Transaction, (B) the Transaction Documents, (C) the Fee Letter, or (D) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, or omissions or alleged omissions from any filing with any governmental agency or similar statements or omissions in or from any information furnished by the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to any of the Indemnified Parties or any other person in connection with the Transaction or the Transaction Documents; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such indemnity agreement shall not apply to any portion of any such loss, claim, damage, obligation, penalty, judgment, award, liability, cost, expense or disbursement to the extent it is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) to have resulted primarily and directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Indemnified Parties. The indemnification provisions contained in this Section 8.04(b) shall be in addition to any liability which any Loan Party may have to the Indemnified Parties. If any action, suit, proceeding or investigation is commenced, as to which any of the Indemnified Parties proposes to demand indemnification, it shall notify the Borrower with reasonable promptness; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any failure by any of the Indemnified Parties to so notify the Borrower shall not relieve the Borrower or any other Loan Party from its obligations hereunder. Each of the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger, on behalf of the Indemnified Parties, shall have the right to retain counsel of its choice to represent the Indemnified Parties, and the Borrower shall, or shall cause the other Loan Parties, jointly and severally to pay, the fees, expenses and disbursement of such counsel; and such counsel shall, to the extent consistent with its professional responsibilities, cooperate with the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and any counsel designated by the Borrower or the other Loan Parties. The Borrower and the Loan Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for any settlement of any claim against any of the Indemnified Parties made with the Borrower's written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger, the Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of the other Loan Parties to, settle or compromise any claim, or permit a default or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant to each of the Indemnified Parties of an unconditional and irrevocable release from all liability in respect of such claim. No party hereto liable for any damages hereunder to any other party shall ever be liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages or, to the fullest extent that a claim for punitive damages may lawfully be waived, for any punitive damages on any claim (whether founded in contract, tort, legal duty 72 or any other theory of liability) arising from or related in any manner to the Loan Documents or the negotiation, execution, administration, performance, breach or enforcement of the Loan Documents or any amendment thereto or the consummation of, or any failure to consummate, the Transaction or any act, omission, breach or wrongful conduct in any manner related thereto. (ii) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution, if a claim for indemnification pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Section 8.04(b) is made but is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, even though the express provisions hereof provide for indemnification in such case, then the Borrower and other Loan Parties, if any, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, shall contribute to the losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements to which the Indemnified Parties may be subject in accordance with the relative benefits received by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, and also the relative fault of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, in connection with the statements, acts or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements and the relevant equitable considerations shall also be considered. No person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Indemnified Parties shall be obligated to contribute any amount hereunder that exceeds the amount of fees (but not interest) previously received by such Indemnified Party pursuant to the Transaction Documents. (iii) This Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating, any rights enforceable by a person or entity not a party hereto, except as provided in this Section 8.04(b). The Borrower, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, acknowledges and agrees that: (A) none of the Secured Parties is, nor shall any one of them be construed as, a fiduciary or agent of any Loan Party or any other person and shall have no duties or liabilities to any such person's equity holders or creditors by virtue of this Agreement, which is hereby expressly waived, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent has been retained to advise or has advised the Borrower regarding the wisdom, prudence or advisability of entering into this Agreement or consummating the Transaction; (B) none of the Secured Parties shall have any liability (including, without limitation, liability for any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from any negligent act or omission of any of them) (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or any other Loan Party (including, without limitation, their respective equity holders and creditors) or any other person for or in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction, except that a claim in contract for actual direct damages directly and proximately caused by a breach of any contractual obligation expressly set forth in any written agreement signed by the party against which enforcement of such claim is sought shall not be impaired hereby; and (C) each of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent was induced to enter into this Agreement by, INTER ALIA, this Article VIII. (c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender Party other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of an assignment in connection with a syndication of the Facility during the period from the Closing Date to the earlier of (x) three months from such Date and (y) the completion of syndication of the Facility (as shall be specified by the Administrative Agent in a written notice to the Borrower), a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.08(b)(i) or 2.09(d), acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender Party other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance upon an assignment of rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.07 as a result of 73 a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.07(a), the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party any amounts required to compensate such Lender Party for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender Party to fund or maintain such Advance. (d) If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, in its sole discretion. (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 2.09 and 2.11 and this Section 8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents. SECTION 8.05. RIGHT OF SET-OFF. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender Party and each of its respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender Party or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note or Notes held by such Lender Party, irrespective of whether such Lender Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note or Notes and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender Party and its respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender Party and its respective Affiliates may have. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, no Lender Party shall exercise any right of set-off against any Loan Party with respect to the Borrower's Obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent if the exercise of such right could limit or adversely affect the remedies available to the Lender Parties or restrict the order of the exercise of such remedies under any law applicable to the parties or to the exercise of any such remedies. If any Lender Party shall receive any payment or proceeds from any Loan Party in respect of the Obligations, such Person shall immediately pay such amounts to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the other Lender Parties in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In the event that any such Lender Party improperly exercises any right of set-off in violation of the terms of this Agreement, then such Person shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each of the other Persons among the Lender Parties from any loss or injury that may result from such Person's exercise of its right of set-off. SECTION 8.06. BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lender Parties. 74 SECTION 8.07.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender Party assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirms to and agrees with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon any Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as Administrative Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be. 75 (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender Parties and the Commitment under the Facility of, and principal amount of the Advances owing under the Facility to, each Lender Party from time to time (the "REGISTER").

(a) GRANT OF SECURITY. The Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, the Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the L/C Cash Collateral Account and all (i) funds and financial assets from time to time credited thereto (including, without limitation, all Cash Equivalents), all interest, dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such funds and financial assets, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the L/C Cash Collateral Account, (ii) and all promissory notes, certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, checks and other instruments from time to time delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for or on behalf of the Borrower, in substitution for or in addition to any or all of the then existing L/C Account Collateral and (iii) all interest, dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing L/C Account Collateral, in each of the cases set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower, wherever located, and whether now or hereafter existing or arising (all of the foregoing, collectively, the "L/C ACCOUNT COLLATERAL"). (b) MAINTAINING THE L/C ACCOUNT COLLATERAL. So long as any Advance or any other Obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall remain unpaid, any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, any secured Hedge Agreement shall be in effect or any Lender Party shall have any Commitment: (i) the Borrower will maintain all L/C Account Collateral only with the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent; and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have sole right to direct the disposition of funds with respect to the L/C Cash Collateral Account subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and it shall be a term and condition of such L/C Cash Collateral Account, that except as otherwise provided herein, notwithstanding any term or condition to the contrary in any other agreement relating to the L/C Cash Collateral Account, as the case may be, that no amount (including, without limitation, interest on Cash Equivalents credited thereto) will be paid or released to or for the account of, or withdrawn by or for the account of, the Borrower or any other Person from the L/C Cash Collateral Account; and (iii) the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Required Lenders), at any time and without notice to, or consent from, the Borrower, transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds from the L/C Account Collateral to satisfy the Borrower's Obligations under the Loan Documents if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 78 (c) INVESTING OF AMOUNTS IN THE L/C CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT. The Administrative Agent will, from time to time invest (i)(A) amounts received with respect to the L/C Cash Collateral Account in such Cash Equivalents credited to the L/C Cash Collateral Account as the Borrower may select and the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent, may approve in its reasonable discretion, and (B) interest paid on the Cash Equivalents referred to in clause (i)(A) above, and (ii) reinvest other proceeds of any such Cash Equivalents that may mature or be sold, in each case in such Cash Equivalents credited in the same manner. Interest and proceeds that are not invested or reinvested in Cash Equivalents as provided above shall be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange such Cash Equivalents for similar Cash Equivalents of smaller or larger determinations, or for other Cash Equivalents, credited to the L/C Cash Collateral Account. (d) RELEASE OF AMOUNTS. So long as no Default under the Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent will pay and release to the Borrower or at its order or, at the request of the Borrower, to the Administrative Agent to be applied to the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents such amount, if any, as is then on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account. (e) REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies available pursuant to Article VI hereof and under the other Collateral Documents, (i) the Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the L/C Account Collateral all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected L/C Account Collateral), and (ii) the Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrower, except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents against any funds held with respect to the L/C Account Collateral or in any other deposit account.
