Section 2.01 The Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees to make (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to make) a Loan on any Business Day during the Availability Period; provided that after giving effect to the making of all such Loans, the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans made by the Lender shall not exceed the Lender’s Term Loan Commitment of $70,000,000. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.02 Borrowing and Continuations of Loans.

(a) The Term Borrowing and each continuation of Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Lender, to be made in the form of a Committed Loan Notice. Each Committed Loan Notice must be received by the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of the Term Borrowing or of any continuation of Loans (except that the notice for the Closing Date Term Borrowing shall be delivered no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the requested date of the Term Borrowing). Each Committed Loan Notice shall be in writing and shall specify (i) whether the Term Borrowing or a continuation of Loans is being requested, (ii) the requested date of the Term Borrowing or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the aggregate principal amount of Loans to be borrowed or continued, and (iv) the duration of the Interest Period(s) with respect thereto. If the Borrower requests the Term Borrowing or a continuation of Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, the Borrower will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b) Following receipt of the Committed Loan Notice, and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.01, the Lender shall make the full amount of the Loan available to the Borrower in Dollars according to the Committed Loan Notice, either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Lender with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Lender by the Borrower.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Loan may be continued or prepaid only on the last day of the then-applicable Interest Period for such Loan, unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith.

(d) The Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the LIBOR Rate by the Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.


		43		ITI Term Loan Agreement

(e) Anything in clauses (a) through (c) above to the contrary notwithstanding, after giving effect to the Term Borrowing and all extension of Loans, there shall not be more than three (3) Interest Periods in effect for Term Borrowings.

Section 2.03 Optional Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Lender, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such optional prepayment notice must be received by the Lender not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time), at least three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of any Loans, and (B) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, or if less, in an amount equal to the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such optional prepayment notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, and the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. If such optional prepayment notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such optional prepayment notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) shall be applied to the next unpaid repayment installment of Loans due under Section 2.06.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, an optional prepayment notice may state that such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Lender on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied.

Section 2.04 Mandatory Prepayments. In the event of and on each occasion of any, prepayment (whether optional, mandatory or otherwise), made by (or on behalf of or for the benefit of) any Obligor, of any principal amount then-outstanding under the Senior Notes, the Borrower shall, concurrently with such prepayment, prepay the Loans under this Agreement in a principal amount equal to (a) the total amount of the applicable prepayment of the Senior Notes multiplied by (b) the quotient that results from dividing (x) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding immediately prior to such prepayment by (y) the aggregate principal amount of all Senior Notes outstanding immediately prior to such prepayment, along with all interest and other amounts payable with respect to such principal amounts (including any amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05). For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, if the Senior Notes are at any time prepaid in full (regardless of whether such prepayment is optional, mandatory or otherwise), the Borrower shall, concurrently with such prepayment of the Senior Notes, prepay to the Lender the aggregate principal amount of all of Loans outstanding hereunder at such time, along with all interest, fees and other amounts outstanding or required to be paid on the Maturity Date under the terms of this Agreement (including any amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05). The Borrower shall notify the Lender in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Loans required to be made pursuant this Section 2.04 at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment.

Section 2.05 Termination of Term Loan Commitments. The Term Loan Commitment of the Lender shall automatically terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) the occurrence of the Term Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02 above, and (b) 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the last Business Day of the Availability Period.

(b) Second Repayment Date. On the Second Payment Date, the Borrower shall repay to the Lender, a portion of the principal amount of the Loans equal to (x) 50.0% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans on the Closing Date minus (y) the aggregate amount of all optional prepayments of principal made prior to the Second Repayment Date pursuant to Section 2.03 (but excluding therefrom, and without duplication of, any and all optional prepayment amounts included in the calculation of the repayment amount payable on the First Repayment Date under clause (a) above), along with all accrued interest on the amount repaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.

(c) Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay to the Lender, the aggregate principal amount of all of its Loans outstanding on such date, along with all interest, fees and other amounts outstanding or required to be paid on the Maturity Date under the terms of this Agreement (including any amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05).

Section 2.07 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07(b) below each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the then-applicable Applicable Rate.

(b) Upon notification by the Lender following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), the Borrower shall pay interest on all amounts that are more than five (5) Business Days past due at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to (x) with respect to past due principal of any Loan, the rate of interest otherwise applicable to such Loan plus 2.00% per annum and (y) with respect to any other past due amount, the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(d) The amount of interest due and payable to the Lender shall be determined by the Lender.

Section 2.08 Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Lead Arranger and the Lender such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and Lead Arranger or the Lender).

Section 2.09 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which such Loan is made, and shall not accrue on such Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any such Loan that


		45		ITI Term Loan Agreement

is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Lender of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.10 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) The advances of Loans made by the Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Lender (acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower) and evidenced by one or more entries in a register for the recordation of the Term Loan Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, owing to the Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time, and maintained at the Lender’s Office (the “Register”). The accounts or records maintained by the Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. Upon the request of the Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver a Note payable to the Lender, which shall evidence the Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. The Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. This Section 2.10(a) shall be construed so that the Loans and Term Loan Commitments are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

(b) Entries made in good faith by the Lender in the Register pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to the Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 2.11 Payments Generally.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Lender at the Applicable Lending Office and in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified herein. All payments received by the Lender after 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Loans, to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(c) Unless the Borrower has notified the Lender, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Lender hereunder, that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Lender may assume that the Borrower has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. A notice of the Lender to the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.11(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate the Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by the Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

ARTICLE III

Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality

Section 3.01 Taxes.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of the Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, excluding the Excluded Taxes (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower, any Guarantor or another applicable withholding agent shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Lender, (i) the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower, such Guarantor or the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as possible thereafter), the Borrower, such Guarantor or the applicable withholding agent shall furnish to the Lender the original or a facsimile copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Lender. If the Borrower, any Guarantor or an applicable withholding agent fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for any Taxes that may become payable by the Lender arising out of such failure.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property or intangible taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document excluding, in each case, such amounts that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an Assignment and Assumption, except to the extent that any such change is requested in writing by the Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(b) being hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lender for(i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable and paid under this Section 3.01) payable by the Lender and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The Lender will, at the Borrower’s request, (A) provide the Borrower with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts or (B) have the amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes verified by an independent accountant. Payment under this Section 3.01(c) shall be made within ten (10) days after the date the Lender makes a demand therefor.

(d) If the Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund in


		47		ITI Term Loan Agreement

respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund as soon as practicable after it is determined that such refund pertains to Taxes or Other Taxes (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the applicable Loan Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund plus any interest included in such refund by the relevant Governmental Authority attributable thereto) to the applicable Loan Party, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of the Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the applicable Loan Party, upon the request of the Lender, agrees promptly to return the amounts refunded to the applicable Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority, excluding any penalties and interest resulting from an unreasonable delay on the part of the Lender to respond to the relevant Governmental Authority after receiving notice from such Governmental Authority that such refund is required to be returned) to the Lender in the event the Lender is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority. The Lender shall, at the applicable Loan Party’s request, provide the applicable Loan Party with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that the Lender may delete any information therein that the Lender deems confidential). Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of the Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige the Lender to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require the Lender to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

(e) The Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or (c) will, if requested by the Borrower in writing, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the judgment of the Lender, cause the Lender and its Applicable Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.01(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Loan Parties or the rights of the Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or (c).

(f) Each Foreign Lender that becomes an assignee of an interest under this Agreement after the Closing Date agrees that it will, on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a party under this Agreement, and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower two duly completed and properly executed original copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY (together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law) or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service, certifying in either case to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement to an exemption from or reduction of withholding of any United States federal income taxes on payments received under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, the Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN. Each lender that becomes an assignee of an interest under this Agreement after the Closing Date that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower, on or prior to the date on which such lender becomes party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower) two duly completed and properly executed original copies of a United States Internal Revenue Form W-9 certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each such lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower (x) renewals or additional copies of such forms (or any


		48		ITI Term Loan Agreement

successor forms) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower. In addition, if a payment made to any lender under this Agreement would be subject to United States withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable) such lender shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no lender shall be required to complete, execute or deliver any form, certificate or document unless it is legally entitled to do so.

Section 3.02 Illegality.

(a) If the Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of the Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lender to make or continue any Loans shall be suspended until it notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from the Lender, prepay all Loans, either on the last day of the then-current Interest Period applicable thereto, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid. The Lender agrees to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for any such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of the Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to the Lender.

(b) If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest with respect to any of the outstanding amount of Loans or other amount payable to the Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by any Law then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rates shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by any applicable law or so result in a receipt by the Lender of interest with respect to its outstanding amount of Loans at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows:

(i) first, by reducing the amount or rates of interest required to be paid to the Lender under Section 2.07 and

(ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Lender which would constitute interest with respect to the outstanding amounts of Loans for purposes of any applicable law.

Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Lender determines that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a continuation thereof that (a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or (b) the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period


		49		ITI Term Loan Agreement

with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding such Loan or that Dollar deposits, as applicable, are not being offered to banks in the London or European, as applicable, interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Loan the Lender will promptly so notify the Borrower.

(b) If the Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the Signing Date, or compliance by the Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender as a consequence of the Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of the Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amounts as will compensate the Lender for such reduction within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such demand.

(d) Subject to Section 3.06(b), failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation.

(e) If the Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then the Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of the Lender, cause the Lender and its Applicable Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided further that nothing in this Section 3.04(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b) or (c).

(ii) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of the Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow or continue any Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

Section 3.06 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.

(a) If the Lender claims compensation under this Article III, the Lender shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(2) all or any portion of any item of Indebtedness may later be classified as having been Incurred pursuant to any type of Indebtedness described in the first and second paragraphs of this covenant so long as such Indebtedness is permitted to be Incurred pursuant to such provision at the time of reclassification;

(3) all Indebtedness outstanding on the Signing Date under the Packing Credit Facility and this Agreement shall be deemed initially Incurred on the Signing Date under clause (a)(i) of this Section;


		66		ITI Term Loan Agreement

(4) Guarantee Obligations or obligations in respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments relating to, or Liens securing, Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included;

(5) if obligations in respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments are Incurred pursuant to the DBS Revolving Credit Agreement and are being treated as Incurred pursuant to clauses (a), (k) or (l) of this Section or the first paragraph above and the letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments relate to other Indebtedness, then such other Indebtedness shall not be included;

(8) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined on the basis of GAAP.

Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock or the reclassification of commitments or obligations not treated as Indebtedness due to a change in GAAP, will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of the covenant described under this Section. The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be (x) the accreted value thereof in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount and (y) the principal amount, or liquidation preference thereof, in the case of any other Indebtedness.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 7.03, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that any Obligor may Incur pursuant to this Section shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Loans or such Guarantor’s Guarantee Obligations to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be, provided that for purposes of this Agreement, (1) unsecured Indebtedness shall not be treated as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured and (2) senior Indebtedness shall not be treated as subordinated or junior to any other senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral or is secured by different collateral.

The Successor Borrower will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Borrower hereunder but in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets, the predecessor company will not be released from its obligations under this Agreement.

The foregoing provisions (other than the requirements of the foregoing clause (ii)) shall not apply to the formation or organization of a new Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower.

Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note (if any), the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by the Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.07(e). For greater certainty, any assignment by the Lender pursuant to this Section 9.07 shall not in any way constitute or be deemed to constitute a novation, discharge, recession, extinguishment or substitution of the existing Indebtedness and any Indebtedness so assigned shall continue to be the same obligation and not a new obligations.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) The Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans; provided that (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which the Lender sells such a participation shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification to the extent that such amendment, waiver or other modification would (A) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, (B) postpone any date scheduled for, or reduce the amount of, any payment of principal or interest under Section 2.06 or Section 2.07, (C) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document (other than amending the definition of “Default Rate” or waiving any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate), (D) amend this Section 9.07(e), or (E) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees in any transaction or series of related transactions (provided that any transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or Section 7.05 shall not be subject to this clause (E) to the extent such transaction does not result in the release of all or substantially all of the Guarantees), in each case only to the extent that such


		82		ITI Term Loan Agreement

amendment, waiver or other modification directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to Section 9.07(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 (subject to the requirements of Section 3.01(e) and Section 3.01(f)), 3.04 and 3.05 (through the Lender) to the same extent as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.07(b).

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable and such liability shall remain with the Granting Lender, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder.

The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from the date such Loan is made until such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates, and payable at such times, as are specified in the Credit Agreement.

Both principal and interest are payable in Dollars to Standard Chartered Bank, as Lender, at such office and in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement. Each Loan owing to the Lender by the Borrower, and all payments made on account of principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Lender and, prior to any transfer hereof, endorsed on the grid attached hereto, which is part of this Promissory Note; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrower under this Promissory Note.

The Credit Agreement, among other things, (i) provides for the making of Loans by the Lender on the Closing Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the Dollar amount first above mentioned, the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from each such Loan being evidenced by this Promissory Note, and (ii) contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events and also for prepayments on account of principal hereof prior to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions therein specified.

The Borrower, for itself, its successors and assigns, hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest and demand and notice of protest, demand, dishonor and non-payment of this Promissory Note.

This Promissory Note may not be transferred or assigned by the Lender to any Person except in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The rights evidenced by this Promissory Note to receive principal and interest may only be transferred if the transfer is registered on a record of ownership and the transferee is identified as the owner of an interest in the obligation pursuant to Section 9.07 of the Credit Agreement. This Promissory Note may not at any time be endorsed to, or to the order of, bearer.
