(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's portion 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 paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).

Each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on any day, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that 34 such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Revolving Loan of such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the L/C Exposure), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.22(e) prior to the time that any Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f); any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate. SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing (other than a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(f), as to which this Section 2.03 shall not apply), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Borrowing Request (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of a proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, shall be signed by or on behalf of the Borrower and shall specify the following information: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Tranche A Term Borrowing, a Tranche B Term Borrowing or a Revolving Credit Borrowing, and, subject to the third sentence of Section 2.02(b), whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed (which shall be an account that complies with the requirements of Section 2.02(c)); (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender's portion of the requested Borrowing. SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (i) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (ii) the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11. 35 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower or any Guarantor and each Lender's share thereof. (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns. SECTION 2.05. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on each calendar quarter end date commencing with the first such date after the Effectiveness Date (or, if any such day shall not be a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day), and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein (each such day being called a "Fee Payment Date"), a commitment fee (a "Commitment Fee") equal to the Applicable Percentage per annum in effect from time to time on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender (counting L/C Exposure as usage) during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the Effectiveness Date or ending with the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the Effectiveness Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein. (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees separately agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (the "Administrative Agent Fees"). (c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Credit Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on each Fee Payment Date, a fee (an "L/C Participation Fee") calculated on such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the average daily aggregate L/C Exposure (excluding 36 the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders shall have been terminated) at a rate equal to the Applicable Percentage from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Revolving Credit Borrowings comprised of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.06, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank, (A) on each Fee Payment Date and on the date on which the Letter of Credit Commitment shall be terminated as provided herein and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, a fronting fee of .25% per annum on the undrawn face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit, and (B) issuance and drawing fees specified from time to time by the Issuing Bank (collectively, the "Issuing Bank Fees"). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable. SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus (x) in the case of Revolving Loans and Tranche A Term Loans, the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time and (y) in the case of Tranche B Term Loans, 2.25%. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus (x) in the case of Revolving Loans and Tranche A Term Loans, the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time and (y) in the case of Tranche B Term Loans, 3.25%. (c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, or under any other Loan Document, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount to but excluding the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) (a) in the case of overdue principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2% per 37 annum and (b) in all other cases, at the rate per annum applicable at such time to ABR Loans plus 2% per annum. SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event and on each occasion that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the rates at which such dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telecopy notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate upon funding of the Term Loans requested by the Borrower and funded by the Lenders, on the Effectiveness Date. The Revolving Credit Commitments and the L/C Commitment shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all the Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 1, 2001, if the initial Credit Event shall not have occurred by such time. (b) Upon at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable written or telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Tranche A Commitments, the Tranche B Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Tranche A Commitments, the Tranche B Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the sum of (A) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at the time and (B) any portion of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment at the time being held available to fund the purchase of additional assets, as contemplated by the definition of "Asset Sale" in Article I. 38 (c) On each Revolving Credit Reduction Date, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount as shall be necessary in order that the Total Revolving Credit Commitment will not exceed the amount set forth below opposite such date: Date Amount ---- ------ December 31, 2004 $90,000,000 December 31, 2005 $80,000,000 December 31, 2006 $65,000,000 Revolving Credit Maturity Date 0 (d) The Revolving Credit Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced by the amount of any prepayment of the Revolving Loans pursuant to paragraph (b), (c) or (e) of Section 2.13. (e) Each reduction in the Tranche A Commitments, the Tranche B Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, the Commitment Fees due on the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction. SECTION 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, one Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following: (i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing; (ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and (b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type; (iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any 39 Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion; (iv) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16; (v) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing; (vi) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing; (vii) no Interest Period may be selected for any Tranche A Term Borrowing or Tranche B Term Borrowing that is a Eurodollar Borrowing that would end later than a Term Loan Repayment Date occurring on or after the first day of such Interest Period if, after giving effect to such selection, the aggregate outstanding amount of (A) the Tranche A Term Borrowings or Tranche B Term Borrowings, as the case may be, that are Eurodollar Borrowings with Interest Periods ending on or prior to such Term Loan Repayment Date and (B) the Tranche A Term Borrowings or Tranche B Term Borrowings, as the case may be, that are ABR Borrowings would not be at least equal to the principal amount of Tranche A Term Borrowings or Tranche B Term Borrowings to be paid on such Term Loan Repayment Date; and (viii) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan. Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender's portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued into a new Interest Period as an ABR Borrowing. 40 SECTION 2.11. Repayment of Term Borrowings. (a) (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the accounts of the Lenders, on each Tranche A Term Loan Repayment Date, a principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans equal to the percentage of the Tranche A Term Loans continued or made on the Effectiveness Date set forth below opposite the number corresponding to such Tranche A Term Loan Repayment Date (subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12 and 2.13(f)), together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment: Tranche A Term Loan ------------------- Repayment Date Percentage -------------- ---------- 1-3 4.400% 4-11 5.000% 12-18 5.850% Tranche A Maturity Date 5.850% (ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the accounts of the Lenders, on each Tranche B Term Loan Repayment Date, a principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans equal to the percentage of the Tranche B Term Loans continued or made on the Effectiveness Date set forth below opposite the number corresponding to such Tranche B Term Loan Repayment Date (subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12 and 2.13(f)), together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment: Tranche A Term Loan ------------------- Repayment Date Percentage -------------- ---------- 1-19 0.250% 20 47.625% Tranche B Maturity Date 47.625% (b) To the extent not previously paid, all Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Tranche A Maturity Date and Tranche B Maturity Date, respectively, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment. (c) All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. SECTION 2.12. Optional Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days' prior written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or telecopy notice) to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 noon, New York City time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000. 41 (b) Optional prepayments of Term Borrowings shall be allocated pro rata between the then-outstanding Tranche A Term Borrowings and Tranche B Term Borrowings and applied ratably against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Tranche A Term Borrowings and Tranche B Term Borrowings under Sections 2.11(a)(i) and (ii), respectively. (c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.16 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment. SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) In the event of any termination of all the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall repay or prepay all the outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings on the date of such termination. In the event of any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, then (i) at or prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure after giving effect thereto and (ii) if the Total Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect to such reduction or termination would be less than the sum of (A) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at the time and (B) any portion of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment at the time being held available to fund the purchase of additional assets, as contemplated by the definition of "Asset Sale" in Article I, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or termination, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. (b) As promptly as practicable and in any event not later than the fifth Business Day following the completion of any Asset Sale the Borrower shall apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Term Loans and, if the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, to prepay Revolving Credit Loans. As promptly as practicable and in any event not later than the Business Day following the date on which any Net Cash Proceeds are deemed for purposes of this paragraph to constitute Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale pursuant to clause (z) of the definition of "Asset Sale", the Borrower shall apply such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Term Loans and, if the Term Loans shall have been repaid in full, to prepay Revolving Credit Loans. (c) As promptly as practicable and in any event not later than the third Business Day following the receipt by Group, Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds from any Equity Issuance, except the first $50,000,000 in Net Cash Proceeds from Equity Issuances, the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to (i) 50% in the case of an Equity Issuance by Group or (ii) 100% in the case of an Equity Issuance by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of such non-excepted Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Term Loans and, if the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, to prepay Revolving Credit Loans; provided that if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio at the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements shall have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.03(a) or (b) shall be less than 4.00 to 1.00, or, giving effect to any prior application of the proceeds of Equity Issuances made after the 42 end of such most recent fiscal quarter and also giving effect to any prior application of proceeds of Equity Issuances made after the end of such most recent fiscal quarter and also giving effect to any concurrent application of proceeds of the subject Equity Issuance (or a portion thereof) would be less than 4.00 to 1.00, no such prepayment shall be required. (d) Not later than the earlier of (i) 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002, and (ii) the date on which the financial statements with respect to such fiscal year are delivered pursuant to Section 5.03(a), the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year; provided that if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio at the end of and for such fiscal year shall have been less than 4.00 to 1.00, no such prepayment shall be required. (e) In the event that the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the incurrence or disposition of any Indebtedness permitted under clause (h) of Section 6.01 (other than Indebtedness permitted under such clause (h) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $25,000,000; provided, that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Net Cash Proceeds of any such Indebtedness referred to in this parenthetical are received), the Borrower shall, as promptly as practicable and in any event not later than the third Business Day following the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, apply an amount equal to (A) if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio at the most recent fiscal quarter end, adjusted to give effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds thereof as if such incurrence and application had occurred at such fiscal quarter end, shall be greater than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00, 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds, or (B) if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio at the most recent fiscal quarter end, as so adjusted, shall be less than 4.00 to 1.00, 50% of such Net Cash Proceeds, to prepay outstanding Term Loans and, if the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, to prepay Revolving Credit Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Borrower intends to apply the Net Cash Proceeds (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate) of any Indebtedness permitted under such clause (h) of Section 6.01 (other than the $25,000,000 of such Indebtedness referred to in the parenthetical in the preceding sentence, as to which this sentence shall not apply), within 180 days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, to finance Acquisitions permitted under Section 6.04(i), and certifying that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of such Net Cash Proceeds (or the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Cash Proceeds that have not been so applied at the end of such 180-day period, at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to the percentage specified above of any such Net Cash Proceeds that have not been so applied. (f) Mandatory prepayments of Term Loans shall, subject to paragraph (i) below, be allocated pro rata between the then-outstanding Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans and applied ratably against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans under Section 2.11(a)(i) and (ii). 43 (g) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.13, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three days' prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the Type and principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. (h) Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.13 to the prepayment of Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be applied first to reduce outstanding ABR Term Loans or ABR Revolving Loans, as the case may be, and then to prepay Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Loans, as the case may be. In the event the amount of any prepayment required to be made pursuant to this Section shall exceed the aggregate principal amount of the ABR Tranche A Term Loans, ABR Tranche B Term Loans or ABR Revolving Loans, as the case may be, outstanding (the amount of any such excess being called the "Excess Amount"), the Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making such prepayment in full, to prepay all the outstanding applicable ABR Loans of the applicable class and to deposit an amount equal to the Excess Amount with the Collateral Agent in a cash collateral account maintained (pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) by and in the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent. Any amounts so deposited shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the Obligations and applied to the prepayment of the applicable Eurodollar Loans at the ends of the current Interest Periods applicable thereto. At the request of the Borrower, amounts so deposited shall be invested by the Collateral Agent in Permitted Investments maturing prior to the date or dates on which it is anticipated that such amounts will be applied to prepay Eurodollar Loans; any interest earned on such Permitted Investments will be for the account of the Borrower, and the Borrower will deposit with the Administrative Agent the amount of any loss on any such Permitted Investment to the extent necessary to ensure that the amount of the prepayment to be made with the deposited amounts is not reduced. (i) Any Tranche B Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing (or by telephone or telecopy promptly confirmed in writing) at least one Business Day prior to any prepayment of Tranche B Term Loans required to be made by the Borrower for the account of such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 (other than an optional prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12, which may not be declined), to waive all or a portion of such prepayment. Any prepayment so waived shall be applied to prepay on a ratable basis Tranche A Term Borrowings and Tranche B Term Borrowings of Lenders that shall not have declined such prepayment; provided that Tranche B Lenders shall be permitted to decline any prepayment only to the extent the aggregate amount of the prepayment declined shall not exceed the sum of the outstanding Tranche A Term Borrowings and the outstanding Tranche B Term Borrowings as to which elections to decline such prepayment shall not have been made (and any reduction of the amounts declined shall be distributed ratably among the declining Lenders). SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if after the date of this Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether 44 or not having the force of law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender or the Issuing Bank of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than changes in respect of taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender or the Issuing Bank by the jurisdiction in which such Lender or the Issuing Bank has its principal office or applicable lending office or by any political subdivision or taxing authority therein), or shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or the Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or increase the cost to any Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Issuing Bank to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any such law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline (whether such law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline has been adopted) or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or the Issuing Bank or any Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company with any request or directive issued after the date hereof regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participations in Letters of Credit purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered. (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b), together with supporting documentation or computations, above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The 45 Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same. (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the event or occurrence giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if any change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180- day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender and the Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, agreement, guideline or other change or condition that shall have occurred or been imposed. SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date hereof, any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent: (i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or, for such duration, be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans), whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and (ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below. In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans. 46 (b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower. SECTION 2.16. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor (including by reason of any assignment pursuant to Section 2.21), (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this Section being called a "Breakage Event"). Such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16, together with supporting documentation or computations, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Sections 2.13 and 2.15, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their applicable outstanding Loans), and the Borrower and each Lender agrees to take all such actions as shall be necessary to give effect to such requirement. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender's portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender's percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount. SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or by any other means, obtain payment, voluntary or involuntary, in respect of any Loan or Loans or L/C Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term 47 Loans and Revolving Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Revolving Loans and L/C Exposure, as the case may be, of such other Lender, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans and L/C Exposure and participations in Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Revolving Loans and L/C Exposure held by all the Lenders; provided, however, that (i) if any such participations are purchased pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such participations shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price restored without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Term Loan or Revolving Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason of such participation as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation. SECTION 2.19. Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. Each such payment (other than (i) Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the Issuing Bank, and (ii) payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 10.05 or pursuant to other Loan Documents, which shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010, or as otherwise directed. (b) The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable. 48 SECTION 2.20. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, 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 such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (e) Each Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) on or before the date such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate (which shall include, (i) in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming benefits under a treaty to which the United States is a party, IRS Form W-8BEN, (ii) in the case of any Foreign Lender that maintains a trade or business in the United States to which payments hereunder are effectively connected, IRS Form W-8ECI, (iii) and in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming a portfolio interest exemption under the Code, IRS Form W-8BEN and a statement to the effect that such Foreign Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding under section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code). In addition, each Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or 49 before expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph (e) that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver. SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any amount to any Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender or the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or the Issuing Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee designated by the Borrower that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (w) such assignment will result in a reduction in the claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or in the withdrawal of the notice under Section 2.15 or in the reduction of payments under Section 2.20, as the case may be, (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, of the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (z) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or the Issuing Bank in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans or L/C Disbursements of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, respectively, plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (including any amounts under Section 2.14 and Section 2.20); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender or the Issuing Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event, as the case may be, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. (b) If (i) any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or the Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any amount to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such 50 Lender or the Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender or the Issuing Bank to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the Issuing Bank in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer. SECTION 2.22. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the Effectiveness Agreement, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, at any time and from time to time while the Revolving Credit Commitments remain in effect, to support obligations (other than trade payables) incurred by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of their businesses. Each Letter of Credit will be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank. This Section shall not be construed to impose an obligation upon the Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. (b) Notice of Issuance; Certain Conditions. In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit and setting forth the date of issuance, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued only if, and upon issuance of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance (A) the L/C Exposure shall not exceed $25,000,000 and (B) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date. (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, 51 for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.02(f). Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement on the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice from the Issuing Bank that payment of such draft will be made, or, if the Borrower shall have received such notice later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day. (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower's obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein; (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document; (iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction; (iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (v) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (vi) any other act, or omission to act, or delay of any kind of the Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but 52 for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower's obligations hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Issuing Bank. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank's gross negligence or wilful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof; it is understood that the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation, and make payment under such Letter of Credit, unless, in the Issuing Bank's judgment, it has received information that proves any such documents to be forged or fraudulent; provided that the Issuing Bank shall not be liable in any respect for any error made as a result of, or damages resulting from, the exercise of its judgment with regard to any such documents if such judgment is made in good faith. The parties hereto expressly agree that (i) the Issuing Bank's exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged, fraudulent or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuing Bank. (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by telecopy, to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Revolving Credit Lender notice thereof. (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of the Issuing Bank, for each day from and including the date of such L/C Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of the date of payment by the Borrower or the date on which interest shall commence to accrue 53 thereon as provided in Section 2.02(f), at the rate per annum that would apply to such amount if such amount were an ABR Loan. (i) Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 180 days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, and may be removed at any time by the Borrower by notice to the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Subject to the next succeeding paragraph, upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to serve as a successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank and the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its obligations to issue additional Letters of Credit hereunder. At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii). The acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or removal of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. (j) Cash Collateralization. Upon the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or the acceleration of any Loans pursuant to Article VII, the Borrower shall promptly deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the L/C Exposure as of such date. Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits in Permitted Investments, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the L/C Exposure at such time and (iii) subject to the consent of Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, be applied to satisfy the other Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 54 ARTICLE III Representations and Warranties Each of Holdings and the Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders that: SECTION 3.01.

(k) any Guarantee purported to be created hereunder or under the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement shall cease to be, or shall be asserted by any Loan Party not to be, a valid and enforceable Guarantee of the Obligations, or any security interest purported to be created by any Security Document shall cease to be, or shall be asserted by any Loan Party not to be, a valid, perfected, first priority (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or such Security Document) security interest in the securities, assets or properties covered thereby, except to the extent that any such loss of perfection or priority results from the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain possession of certificates representing securities pledged under the Pledge Agreement or does not affect Collateral with significant value; (l) any Station License held by the Borrower or any Subsidiary with respect to any full power Station shall have been terminated, shall not have been renewed prior to the expiration thereof or shall have been renewed on terms materially adverse to the holder thereof, or any full power Station shall fail to maintain a substantially continuous broadcast signal for a period of more than five consecutive days (or 10 consecutive days if such failure relates to the construction of such Station's digital television facilities); or (m) there shall have occurred a Change in Control; then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to Holdings or the Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the principal of the Loans, together with accrued interest 79 thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; and in any event with respect to Holdings or the Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) above, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding. ARTICLE VIII The Agents In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Credit Suisse First Boston is hereby appointed to act as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank (for purposes of this Article VIII, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the "Agents"). Each of the Lenders and each assignee of any such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agents to take such actions on behalf of such Lender or assignee or the Issuing Bank and to exercise such powers as are specifically delegated to the Agents by the terms and provisions hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, without hereby limiting any implied authority, (a) to receive on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans, all payments in respect of L/C Disbursements and all other amounts due to the Lenders hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Lender or the Issuing Bank its proper share of each payment so received; (b) to give notice on behalf of each of the Lenders to the Borrower of any Event of Default specified in this Agreement of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its agency hereunder; and (c) to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as received by the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents. Neither the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by any of them except for its or his own gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements 80 contained in any Loan Document. The Agents shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the due execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, instruments or agreements. The Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders. Each Agent shall, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Neither the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any responsibility to Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any Lender or the Issuing Bank of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender or the Issuing Bank on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or the Issuing Bank or Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of their respective obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith. Each of the Agents may execute any and all duties hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by it with respect to all matters arising hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that neither Agent shall be under any duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, each Agent in its individual capacity and not as Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the Agents and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent. Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse the Agents, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on the amount of its Loans and available commitments hereunder) of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Agents, including reasonable counsel fees and 81 compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, that shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, 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 it in its capacity as Agent or any of them relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent or any such other indemnified person for any portion of such liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents. Each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to reimburse each of the Issuing Bank and its directors, officers, employees and agents, in each case, to the same extent and subject to the same limitations as provided above for the Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. ARTICLE IX Guarantee To induce the Lenders to make the Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit, Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the due and punctual payment and performance of all the Obligations. Each and every default in payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any Obligation shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder, and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises. Holdings waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of this Guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment and all other formalities. The obligations of Holdings hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure or delay of any Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Loan Party under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from, any of the terms or provisions of any Loan Document, any guarantee or any other agreement or instrument; (d) the release of (or the failure to perfect a security interest in) any security held by 82 any Secured Party for the performance of the Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure or delay of any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Obligations; (f) the failure of any Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under any Loan Document, any guarantee or any other agreement or instrument; (g) any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; or (h) any other act, omission or delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Holdings or otherwise operate as a discharge of Holdings as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of Holdings to subrogation. Holdings further agrees that this Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Secured Party to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other person. The obligations of Holdings hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Holdings further agrees that this Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment, or any part thereof, on any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Secured Party may have at law or in equity against Holdings by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, Holdings hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by any Lender, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Secured Parties in cash an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Obligations then due, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest and fees on such Obligations and (iii) all other monetary Obligations then due. Upon payment by Holdings of any sums to the Secured Parties hereunder, all rights of Holdings against the Borrower arising as a result thereof shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all the Obligations and, if any payment shall be made to Holdings on account of such rights prior to the payment in full of all the Obligations, such payment shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Obligations to the extent necessary to discharge such Obligations. Upon payment by Holdings of the sums to the Administrative Agent hereunder, subject to the payment in full of all the Obligations, Holdings shall be subrogated to the rights of the Secured Parties to receive payments of the Obligations. Holdings waives notice of and hereby consents to any agreements or arrangements whatsoever by the Secured Parties with any other person pertaining to the Obligations, including 83 agreements and arrangements for payment, extension, subordination, composition, arrangement, discharge or release of the whole or any part of the Obligations, or for the discharge or surrender of any or all security, or for compromise, whether by way of acceptance of part payment or otherwise, and the same shall in no way impair Holdings' liability hereunder. Nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of Holdings hereunder except the full performance and payment of the Obligations. Each reference herein to any Secured Party shall be deemed to include their or its successors and assigns, in whose favor the provisions of this Guarantee shall also inure.

The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20, 10.05 and 10.16 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank.

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of any or all of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of the assigning Lender or another Lender, (x) the Borrower, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment, the Issuing Bank) must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (y) the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Term Loan Commitment or outstanding Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 in the aggregate (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment or outstanding Term Loans) and (ii) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 10.04 and payment, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's 85 rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 10.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid, and to be bound by the provisions of Section 10.16). (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Term Loan Commitments and Revolving Credit Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Term Loans and Revolving Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance; (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender 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 the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of Group, Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by Group, Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.03 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; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender 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; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register and any Assignments and Acceptances delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.04(d) shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the 86 Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), if the Administrative Agent so requires in its sole discretion, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which shall be paid by the assigning Lender and such assignee as they may agree) and no more than one such fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments by a single Lender to Related Funds and, if required, the written consent of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower, Lenders and the Issuing Bank. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e). (f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20, and shall be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in Section 10.16, to the same extent as is such Lender and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans or L/C Disbursements and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans, increasing or extending the Commitments or releasing all or substantially all the Guarantors or the Collateral). All amounts payable by the Borrower to any Lender hereunder in respect of any Loan and the applicability of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold or agreed to sell any participation in such Loan, and as if such Lender were funding the participated portion of such Loan in the same way that it is funding the portion of such Loan in which no participation has been sold. (g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of Group, Holdings, Borrower or the Sponsors; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute 87 an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.16. (h) (i) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank to secure extensions of credit by such Federal Reserve Bank to such Lender or (ii) any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided that no such assignment or pledge under (i) or (ii) above shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Bank for such Lender as a party hereto. In order to facilitate such an assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, the Borrower shall, at the request of the assigning Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning Lender a promissory note or notes evidencing the Loans made to the Borrower by the assigning Lender hereunder. (i) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. (j) In the event that S&P, Moody's and Thompson's BankWatch (or InsuranceWatch Ratings Service, in the case of Lenders that are insurance companies (or Best's Insurance Reports, if such insurance company is not rated by Insurance Watch Ratings Service)) shall, after the date that any Lender becomes a Revolving Credit Lender, downgrade the long-term certificate deposit ratings of such Lender, and the resulting ratings shall be below BBB-, Baa3 and C (or BB, in the case of a Lender that is an insurance company (or B, in the case of an insurance company not rated by InsuranceWatch Ratings Service)), then the Issuing Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace (or to request the Borrower to use its reasonable efforts to replace) such Lender with an assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above), and such Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above) all its interests, rights and obligations in respect of its Revolving Credit Commitment to such assignee; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule and regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (ii) the Issuing Bank or such assignee, as the case may be, shall pay to such Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Lender's account or owed to it hereunder. SECTION 10.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay upon request all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Issuing Bank in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein and the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement (including in connection with the negotiation of any restructuring or "work out" 88 (whether or not consummated) of the Obligations) or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender. (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, each Affiliate of any of the foregoing persons and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors, agents and controlling persons (each such person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all costs, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower or the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee. In connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence, the Indemnitees will endeavor to avoid duplication of effort and expense by employing common counsel (including special or local counsel, where required), which shall be nominated by the Administrative Agent (or, if the Administrative Agent shall not be a party or prospective party to such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding, by the Lender party thereto with the largest credit exposure or potential credit exposure hereunder), it being understood that an Indemnitee will in any event be entitled to separate counsel (i) if such Indemnitee may have defenses available to it that are different from or potentially inconsistent with defenses that may be asserted by other Indemnitees, (ii) if the representation by a single counsel of such Indemnitee and other Indemnitees would otherwise be inappropriate due to actual or potential differences in the interests of the Indemnitees or (iii) if the Borrower shall agree to the retention of separate counsel. (c) The provisions of this Section 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor. 89 SECTION 10.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and 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 to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of Holdings and the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 10.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. SECTION 10.07. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS (1993 REVISION), INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, PUBLICATION NO. 500 (THE "UNIFORM CUSTOMS") AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. SECTION 10.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of Group, Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Holdings or the Borrower in any case shall entitle Group, Holdings or the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. (b) None of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders (and, in the case of any other Loan Document, any other person whose consent is required thereunder); provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on 90 any Loan or any fees or any date for reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.09(c) or 2.13 (a), amend or modify the definition of the term "Revolving Credit Reduction Date" or the term "Revolving Credit Maturity Date" or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement or any fees, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) change or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of the Commitment Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.17, 2.18 or 10.04(i), the provisions of this Section or the definition of the term "Required Lenders" or release any Guarantors (other than pursuant to a permitted sale or liquidation of such Guarantor) or all or any substantial part of the Collateral without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) except as provided in Section 2.13(i), waive or change the allocation between Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche B Term Loans of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13 without the prior written consent of Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans and more than 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans or (v) amend Section 2.13(i) without the prior written consent of the Lenders holding a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans; provided further that (i) no such agreement that by its terms adversely affects the rights of the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Tranche A Lenders or the Tranche B Lenders in a manner different from its effect on the other classes of Lenders shall become effective unless approved by a majority in interest of each class of Lenders so adversely affected and (ii) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Bank hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Bank. SECTION 10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or participation in any L/C Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or participation in such L/C Disbursement under applicable law (collectively, the "Charges"), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. SECTION 10.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this 91 Agreement or the other Loan Documents. SECTION 10.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11. SECTION 10.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. SECTION 10.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. SECTION 10.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. SECTION 10.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any 92 other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against Holdings, the Borrower or their properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. (b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. (c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. SECTION 10.16. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders agrees to keep confidential (and to use its best efforts to cause its respective agents and representatives to keep confidential) the Information (as defined below) and all copies thereof, extracts therefrom and analyses or other materials based thereon, except that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be permitted to disclose Information (a) to such of its affiliates, respective officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates and representatives as need to know such Information in connection with the performance of their duties or the legal and regulatory compliance requirements of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, (b) to the extent requested or required by any regulatory authority, including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any successor entity thereto, (c) to the extent otherwise required by applicable laws and regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with any suit, action or proceeding (i) relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or (ii) for purposes of establishing a "due diligence" defense, (e) to ratings agencies on a confidential basis, (f) if such Lender is a fund, to investors in such fund; provided that any such investor is bound by this Section 10.16 or, (g) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty's professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.16) or (h) to the extent such Information (i) was or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.16 or (ii) was or becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or the Collateral Agent on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and/or any Lender, as the case may be, shall (to the extent it may lawfully do so) provide the Borrower, to the extent practicable, with advance notice of any disclosure of information referred to in clauses (c) and (d) above. For the purposes of this Section, "Information" shall mean all financial statements, certificates, reports, agreements and information (including all analyses, compilations and studies prepared by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender based on any of the foregoing and including any budget, programming and program scheduling information) that are received from 93 Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary and related to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, other than any of the foregoing that were available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure thereto by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, and that are in the case of Information provided after the date hereof, clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential or of such a nature that a prudent person would expect such Information to be confidential. The provisions of this Section 10.16 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration and term of this Agreement. SECTION 10.17. Release of Liens and Guarantees. (a) In the event that the Borrower or any Subsidiary sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of any of the Equity Interests, assets or property owned by the Borrower or such Subsidiary (other than to Holdings or a subsidiary or Affiliate of Holdings) in a transaction not prohibited by this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize and instruct the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower to release any Liens created by any Security Document in respect of such Equity Interests, assets or property and, in the case of a disposition of all or virtually all the Equity Interests or assets and property of any Subsidiary that is a Loan Party, to terminate such Subsidiary's (and each of its subsidiaries') obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and each other Loan Document and to release any Liens created by any Security Document on the Equity Interests, assets and property of such Subsidiary (and each of its subsidiaries). (b) The Administrative Agent will take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Company to terminate the Liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents when all the Obligations (other than the Surviving Obligations) have been paid in full and all Letters of Credit and Commitments have been terminated.
