Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(a) for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that the Lender made such demand (provided further, that if the event giving rise to the compensation or indemnification is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect). Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 3.3, the Lender shall not demand compensation for any increased cost or reduction referred to above if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of the Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any.
SECTION 3.4. Taxes.
(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law; provided that if any Borrower shall be so required to deduct any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.4(a)) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.
(b)    The Borrowers shall indemnify the Lender for the full amount of the Indemnified Taxes paid by the Lender or that such Borrower should have withheld or deducted from a payment thereto but failed to withhold or deduct (including Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.4(b)), and any liability (including interest and penalties, if any) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, however, that such Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment to the Lender pursuant to this Section 3.4(b) in respect of penalties, interest and other liabilities attributable to any Indemnified Taxes if such penalties, interest or other liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability, including a calculation thereof determined in the sole discretion of the Lender, delivered to the Parent Borrower by the Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(c)    Within thirty (30) days after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.
SECTION 3.5. Illegality and Unavailability. If at any time after the date of this Agreement, the Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive) that the making or maintenance of Loans has been made impossible or unlawful because of compliance by the Lender in good faith with any change in applicable Law or the administration thereof by any official body charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, then the Lender shall promptly give the Parent Borrower notice thereof, and until the Lender notifies the Parent Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the Lender’s obligation to continue the Loans shall terminate

- 10 -


and the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans, such prepayment to become due on the last day of the last Interest Period to end prior to the effectiveness of the applicable change in Law or such earlier date as may be required by the relevant Law.
SECTION 3.6. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR Loan, the Lender shall have determined, acting reasonably and in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error), that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or LIBOR does not adequately and fairly reflect the Lender’s cost of funding and maintaining the Loan, then Lender shall give notice thereof to the Parent Borrower as soon as practicable and, until the Lender notifies the Parent Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the interest rate on such Loan shall be the Base Rate.
SECTION 3.7. Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other of the Borrowers’ representations, warranties and covenants hereunder, the Borrowers’ covenants and obligations contained in Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 shall survive the payment in full of the obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, but shall be limited in duration to the applicable statute of limitations.
SECTION 3.8. Mitigation. If the Lender demands compensation under Section 3.3 or if the obligation of the Lender to make Loans is suspended under Section 3.5, then the Lender will use reasonable efforts to mitigate such issues including by designating a different lending office for each affected Loan if such designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation or permit the Lender to make and maintain Loans under Section 3.5 and would not, in the sole judgment of the Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.
SECTION 3.9. Indemnification. The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Lender against any loss or expense incurred by the Lender as a result of (a) a failure by such Borrower in making any prepayment on the date specified therefor after the Borrower has given notice thereof in accordance with this Agreement and (b) the making of a prepayment (either voluntary or mandatory) of any Loan on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period.

(a)Corporate Status. Maintain its status as a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing in the jurisdiction of its organization and remain duly qualified to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business requires such qualification; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prevent any merger or consolidation permitted by Section 6.2(a); and provided further that the Parent Borrower shall not be required to preserve or to cause any Subsidiary to preserve its legal existence or any such rights, franchises or privileges if the Parent Borrower shall determine that the

- 13 -


preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole;
(b)No Subordination. Take all necessary actions to ensure that each Borrower’s obligations hereunder (i) will not be subordinated to any other Debt of such Borrower and (ii) rank at least pari passu with all unsecured Debt for borrowed money of such Borrower;
(c)Action upon Event of Default. Notify the Lender promptly, and in any event within five (5) days, after a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower obtains knowledge of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, such notice to include a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower setting forth details of such Default or Event of Default and the action which the Borrower has taken and/or proposes to take with respect thereto;
(d)Books and Records. Keep books and records reflecting all of its business affairs and transactions in a manner which permits the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP; and permit the Lender’s representatives, upon reasonable prior notice to the Parent Borrower, to visit and inspect any of its properties to examine and make abstracts from any of its books and records, all at such reasonable times and as often as may reasonably be desired.

(iii)    With reasonable promptness, such other financial information of the Parent Borrower as the Lender may from time to time reasonably request; provided that the Parent Borrower shall not be required to furnish, or cause to be furnished, any information that would result in violation of any confidentiality agreement by which it is bound but, at the request of the Lender, shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a waiver of such agreement to permit furnishing of such information under this provision.
Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subparagraph (e) (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC”)) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which the Parent Borrower posts such documents, or provides a link thereto on its website on the Internet, (ii) on which such documents are posted on the Parent Borrower’s behalf on an Internet or intranet website, if any, to which the Lender has access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by

Subject to Section 7.1(g) below, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Lender the prompt payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise). Any such payment shall be made at such place and in the same

- 15 -


currency as such relevant Guaranteed Obligation is payable. This guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not solely of collection and is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
(b) Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. The Guarantor agrees that this guaranty may be enforced by the Lender without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise and the Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the Lender to proceed against any other Person or to require the Lender to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. The Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Lender from suing in any jurisdiction on this Agreement or any other Credit Document or foreclosing its security interest in or lien on any collateral, if any, securing the Guaranteed Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it under this Agreement or any instrument of security, if any, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder; it being the purpose and intent of the Guarantor that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. The Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance of by the Lender upon this guaranty or acceptance of this guaranty. The Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this guaranty.
(c)Modifications. The Guarantor agrees that (a) all or any part of the security which hereafter may be held for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any, may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) the Lender shall not have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security interests or liens which hereafter may be held, if any, for the Guaranteed Obligations or the properties subject thereto; (c) the time or place of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed, increased or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) any Borrower and any other party liable for payment under this Agreement may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be modified, amended or waived; (f) any party liable for the payment thereof may be granted indulgences or be released; and (g) any deposit balance for the credit of any Borrower or any other party liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by the Guarantor, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.

- 16 -


(d)Waiver of Rights. The Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law: (a) notice of acceptance of this guaranty by the Lender; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Agreement) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the Lender obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any lien, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Lender’s subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such liens, if any; (e) all other notices to which any Borrower might otherwise be entitled in connection with the guaranty evidenced by this Article 7; and (f) demand for payment under this guaranty.
(e)Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Article 7 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Lender on demand for all reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Law.
(f)Remedies. The Guarantor agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Lender, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 8) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor.
(g)Subrogation. The Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 7.1(a), whether by subrogation or otherwise, against any Borrower or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(h)Limitation of Guaranty. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the obligations of the Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfer), then the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable Law (as now or hereinafter in effect).
