Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of the Swingline Lender, the Dollar Amount of such Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(f) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this Section 2.05(f) by wire transfer of Dollars in immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Upon the funding of a participation under this Section 2.05(f) in any Foreign Currency Loan, the portion of such Loans so funded shall be converted to Dollar Swingline Loans accruing interest as Fed Funds Loans but JPMorgan's Revolving Credit 32 Percentage of such Loans shall remain as an applicable Foreign Currency Loan. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this Section 2.05(f), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this Section 2.05(f) and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided, that, any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.05(f) shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. (g) The Swingline Lender may request that any Swingline Loan made hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to the Swingline Lender a promissory note payable to the order of the Swingline Lender and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender. SECTION 2.06 Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. (b) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section 2.06), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the Available Currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank's standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding 33 Competitive Loans shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and (ii) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. (c) Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. (d) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, in Dollars, such Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage of the Dollar Amount of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.06(d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Any participation funded under this Section 2.05(d) shall be converted to Dollar ABR Loans. (e) If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in the applicable Available Currency equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, Dallas, Texas time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., Dallas, Texas time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, Dallas, Texas time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., Dallas, Texas time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to Borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing (if such LC Disbursement is denominated in Dollars) or Swingline Loan (if such LC Disbursement is denominated in Dollars or any other Available Currency) in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower's obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, the Dollar Amount of its Revolving Credit Percentage of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such 34 Revolving Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06(e), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.06(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this Section 2.06(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Revolving Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. (f) The Borrower's obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06 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 this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) 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, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.06(f), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower's obligations hereunder. Neither the Agents, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that 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 failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 35 (g) 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 promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC 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 Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. (h) If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06, then Section 2.14(e) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.06(h) shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06 to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment. (i) The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.13(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein 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 replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. (j) If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Revolving Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.06(j), and/or otherwise (ii) on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash and in the applicable Available Currency equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VIII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the 36 payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, and the Borrower will, in connection therewith, execute and deliver such security and pledge agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent which the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, require. The Administrative 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, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower's risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Revolving Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, and the Borrower will, in connection therewith, execute and deliver such security and pledge agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent which the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, require. 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. SECTION 2.07 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Revolving Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Dallas, Texas time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Revolving Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in Dallas, Texas and designated by the Borrower; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank. (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Revolving Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.07 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Revolving Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the 37 Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Revolving Loan included in such Revolving Borrowing. SECTION 2.08 Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request (or an ABR Borrowing if no Type is specified) and, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period and shall be denominated in the applicable Available Currency as specified in such Borrowing Request; provided, that, the Available Currency applicable to all Fixed Rate Revolving Borrowings shall only be Dollars and the Available Currency applicable to all Fixed Rate Swingline Borrowings shall only be a Foreign Currency. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.08. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section 2.08 shall not apply to Competitive Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Fixed Rate Borrowing; (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Fixed Rate Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term "Interest Period;" and 38 (v) if the resulting Borrowing is a Fixed Rate Swingline Borrowing, whether such Borrowing will be denominated in Euros, Swiss Francs, Czech Korunas, Mexican Pesos or English Pounds Sterling. If any such Interest Election Request requests a Fixed Rate Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing. (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Fixed Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing, if outstanding as a Fixed Rate Dollar Borrowing, shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing and if outstanding as a Fixed Rate Borrowing in a Foreign Currency, shall be continued as a Fixed Rate Borrowing denominated in the same Foreign Currency with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Fixed Rate Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Fixed Rate Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. (f) Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing: (i) no outstanding Dollar Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Fixed Rate Borrowing; (ii) unless repaid, each Fixed Rate Dollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto; and (iii) no outstanding Foreign Currency Borrowing may be continued for an Interest Period longer than one month. A Borrowing may not be converted to or continued as a Fixed Rate Borrowing if after giving effect thereto the Interest Period therefor would commence before and end after a date on which any principal of the Loans is scheduled to be repaid. A Borrowing denominated in one Available Currency may not be converted by the Borrower into a Borrowing of another Available Currency. Foreign Currency Borrowings may only be made under the Swingline Loan. SECTION 2.09 Revolving Credit Notes. The Borrower's obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Revolving Loans made by each Revolving Lender shall be further evidenced by the Borrower's issuance, execution and delivery of a Revolving Credit Note payable to the order of each such Revolving Lender in the amount of such Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment, and shall be dated as of the date of issuance of such Revolving Credit Note. The principal amount of each Revolving Credit Note shall be payable on or before the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. 39 SECTION 2.10 Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Certain Prepayments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitment of each Lender shall terminate on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date applicable to such Lender's Commitment. (b) In the event the Borrower shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Disposition or any Debt Offering, an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on such date to the reduction of the Revolving Commitments as set forth in Section 2.12(e). (c) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments and the commitment to make Swingline Loans; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $2,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000, (ii) the Revolving Commitments may not be reduced below the amount of the commitment to make Swingline Loans unless such commitment is also reduced, and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.12(b), the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. (d) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (c) of this Section 2.10 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments. SECTION 2.11 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan and Revolving Borrowing of such Revolving Lender on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender thereof, the then unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Loan on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Competitive Loan, (iii) to the Swingline Lender, the unpaid principal amount of each Foreign Currency Swingline Loan on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, and (iv) the amounts specified in Sections 2.09 and 2.12 on the dates specified in each such Section. The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans made to the Borrower, from time to time outstanding from 40 the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates set forth in Section 2.14. (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, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder and the Available Currency in which such indebtedness is due. (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof, the Available Currency in which it is denominated 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 for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof. (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 2.11 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided 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 the terms of this Agreement. SECTION 2.12 Prepayment of Loans; Application of 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; provided that (i) each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $2,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000, (ii) each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) shall be subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 2.12, (iii) the Borrower shall pay any and all costs and expenses due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.17 at the time of such prepayment, and (iv) the Borrower shall not have the right to prepay any Competitive Loan without the prior consent of the Lender thereof. (b) The Borrower shall, from time to time, upon demand of the Administrative Agent, prepay the Revolving Loans in such amounts as shall be necessary so that at all times the sum of the Dollar Amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans is equal to or less than the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. In addition, if, and in any event that, (i) the Swingline Loans exceed a Dollar Amount of $50,000,000, (ii) the Euro Loans exceed a Dollar Amount of $50,000,000, (iii) the Swiss Franc Loans exceed a Dollar Amount of $25,000,000, (iv) the Czech Koruna Loans exceed a Dollar Amount of $25,000,000, (v) the Mexican Peso Loans exceed a Dollar Amount of $25,000,000, or (vi) the English Pounds Sterling Loans exceed a Dollar Amount of $50,000,000, the Borrower shall promptly repay to the Administrative Agent (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(j)) in each case an amount equal to the applicable excess. 41 (c) At any time the Borrower becomes obligated to prepay all or part of the Senior Unsecured Notes, the Borrower shall, prior to any prepayment of the Senior Unsecured Notes, prepay the Loans and reduce the Commitments in full. (d) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Dallas, Texas time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, and (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Dallas, Texas time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid (which amount shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 and in $2,000,000 increments in excess thereof, provided that Swingline Loans may be prepaid in any amount); provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.10(d), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.10(d). Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.14. (e) Amounts to be applied in connection with Revolving Commitment reductions made pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall be applied to reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments, any such reduction to be applied proportionately to the Revolving Commitment of each Lender. Any such reduction of the Revolving Commitment shall be accompanied by a prepayment of the Revolving Loans to the extent required by Section 2.12(b). Subject to the terms hereof, each prepayment of Loans and reduction of the Revolving Commitment shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Commitments. The application of any prepayment of the Loans shall be applied first to ABR Loans and then to Fixed Rate Loans next maturing. SECTION 2.13 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Commitment Termination Date applicable to such Lender's Revolving Commitment. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in Dollars and in arrears on each Quarterly Date of each year and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, the Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose). 42 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay in Dollars (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate as interest on Fixed Rate Borrowings on the average daily Dollar Amount of such Lender's LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender's Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank upon issuance of any Letter of Credit by such Issuing Bank a fronting fee equal to an amount calculated at the rate of 0.125% per annum based on the stated Dollar Amount and term of such Letter of Credit, as well as the Issuing Bank's standard fees with respect to the administration, issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees shall be payable in Dollars in arrears on the third Business Day following each Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in writing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, all fees due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Fee Letter). (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.13, all commitment fees, facility fees, participation fees and fronting fees with respect to letters of credit and administrative agency fees for periods to but excluding the Effective Date shall accrue and be payable as provided in the Existing Credit Agreement or Fee Letter (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), as applicable. SECTION 2.14 Interest. (a) Subject to Section 10.13, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. (b) Subject to Section 10.13, the Loans comprising each Fixed Rate Borrowing shall bear interest (i) in the case of a Fixed Rate Loan, at the Fixed Rate for the Interest Period and Available Currency in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate, or (ii) in the case of a Fixed Rate Competitive Loan, at the Fixed Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus (or minus, as applicable) the Margin applicable to such Loan. 43 (c) Subject to Section 10.13, each Competitive Specified Rate Loan shall bear interest at the Competitive Specified Rate applicable to such Loan. (d) Subject to Section 10.13, the Swingline Dollar Loans (to the extent outstanding as a result of the conversion from a Fixed Rate Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) shall bear interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from day to day plus 2%. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 10.13, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any ABR or Fed Funds Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.14, (ii) with respect to Fixed Rate Loans, until the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the rate otherwise applicable thereto as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.14 plus 2%, and after the end of the Interest Period therefor: (A) if such Fixed Rate Loan is a Dollar Loan, the Alternate Base Rate plus 2%, and (B) if such Fixed Rate Loan is denominated in a Foreign Currency, the rate per annum applicable to Fixed Rate Loans and the applicable Foreign Currency with a one month Interest Period as the same may change each day plus 2%, or (iii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the Alternate Base Rate. (f) Subject to Section 10.13, accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.14 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Fixed Rate Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. Interest on Loans, the principal amount of which is denominated in an Available Currency, shall be paid in that Available Currency. (g) Subject to Section 10.13, all interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that (i) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and (ii) which respect to any Available Currency as to which a 365 or 366 day year, as the case may be, is customarily used as a basis for such calculation, then interest with respect to Loans denominated in such Available Currency shall be computed on such basis. Interest in all cases shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Federal Funds Effective Rate, or Fixed Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 2.15 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Fixed Rate Borrowing: 44 (a) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Fixed Rate for such Interest Period; (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Fixed Rate Competitive Loan, the Lender that is required to make such Loan) that the Fixed Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; or (c) the Administrative Agent determines that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank dollar market generally, deposits in Dollars in the relevant interbank dollar market are not being offered for the applicable Interest Period and in an amount equal to the amount of the Fixed Rate Loan requested by the Borrower; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Fixed Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective, (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Fixed Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Revolving Borrowing or, with respect to a Swingline Borrowing, a Fed Funds Dollar Borrowing and (iii) any request by the Borrower for a Fixed Rate Competitive Borrowing shall be ineffective; provided that (A) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the Borrower for Fixed Rate Competitive Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby and (B) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. SECTION 2.16 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: (i) 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 (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Fixed Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the applicable interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Fixed Rate 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 of making or maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan or Competitive Specified Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit 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), then the Borrower will 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, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. In addition, if the 45 introduction of, changeover to or operation of any Foreign Currency (including the Euro) in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Republic of Mexico, or the Czech Republic, as applicable, shall result in an increase in the cost to the Swingline Lender of making or maintaining any Foreign Currency Fixed Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or result in a reduction of the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Swingline Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to the Swingline Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Swingline Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements 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 by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, 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 Change in Law (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), then from time to time the Borrower will 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 the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16 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 2.16 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law 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 the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.16, a Lender shall not be entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16 in respect of any Competitive Loan if the Change in Law that would otherwise entitle it to such compensation shall have been publicly announced prior to submission of the Competitive Bid pursuant to which such Loan was made. 46 SECTION 2.17 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Fixed Rate Loan or Competitive Specified Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.12(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (d) the failure to borrow any Competitive Loan after accepting the Competitive Bid to make such Loan, or (e) the assignment of any Fixed Rate Loan or Competitive Specified Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.21, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Fixed Rate Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include (i) an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Fixed Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (B) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable Available Currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the applicable market utilized to determine the related Fixed Rate; (ii) any loss incurred in liquidating or closing out any foreign currency contract; and (iii) any loss arising from any change in the value of Dollars in relation to any Loan made in a Foreign Currency which was not paid on the date due. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. SECTION 2.18 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 2.18) the Administrative Agent, each Lender or the 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 47 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 2.18) 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) Any 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), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, 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. SECTION 2.19 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, Dallas, Texas time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds in the Available Currency in which the underlying obligations being paid is denominated as determined pursuant hereto, without set-off 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. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices in New York City, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. 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. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. (b) Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made, each payment on account of any commitment fee or participation fee in respect of the Revolving Commitments 48 hereunder shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent, and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent, pro rata according to the relevant Revolving Credit Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) on account of principal of and interest on any Revolving Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Revolving Loans then held by the Lenders. Further, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. All proceeds (including proceeds from the realization upon the Collateral) received after acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, shall be applied first, to reimbursement of expenses and indemnities provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, second, to the other Lender Indebtedness until repaid in full pro rata to each Lender, and third, to any other Person entitled to receive such proceeds in accordance with applicable law. (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, unless the Lender from which such payment is recovered is required to pay interest thereon, in which case each Lender returning funds to such Lender shall pay its pro rata share of such interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.19(c) 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 LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.19(c) shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the 49 account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.19(d) or 10.03(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. SECTION 2.20 Illegality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if (i) by reason of the adoption of any applicable Governmental Rule or any change (after the Effective Date) in any applicable Governmental Rule or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any central bank or other Governmental Authority or (ii) circumstances affecting the London interbank dollar market or the position of a Lender therein shall at any time make it unlawful or impracticable in the sole discretion of a Lender exercised in good faith for such lender or its applicable lending office to (A) honor its obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans either generally or for a particular Interest Period provided for hereunder, or (B) maintain Fixed Rate Loans either generally or for a particular Interest Period provided for hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof through the Administrative Agent and such Lender's obligation to make or maintain Fixed Rate Loans having an affected Interest Period hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Fixed Rate Loans having an affected Interest Period (in which case the provisions of Section 2.20(b) hereof shall be applicable). Before giving such notice pursuant to this Section 2.20(a), such Lender will designate a different available lending office for the affected Fixed Rate Loans of such Lender or take such other action as the Borrower may request if such designation or action will avoid the need to suspend such Lender's obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans hereunder and will not, in the sole opinion of such Lender exercised in good faith, be disadvantageous to such Lender (provided, that such Lender shall have no obligation to so designate a lending office for Fixed Rate Loans located in the United States of America). (b) If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain any Fixed Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.20(a) hereof, all Loans having an affected Interest Period which would otherwise be made by such Lender as Fixed Rate Loans shall be made instead as ABR Loans (and, if such Lender so requests by notice to the Borrower with a copy to 50 the Administrative Agent, each Fixed Rate Loan having an affected Interest Period of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically converted into an ABR Loan on the last day of the Interest Period for such Fixed Rate Loans unless earlier conversion is required by applicable law) and, to the extent that Fixed Rate Loans are so made as (or converted into) ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Fixed Rate Loans shall be applied instead to such ABR Loans. SECTION 2.21 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.18, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. (b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, (iii) any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or (iv) any Lender suspends its obligation to maintain or fund Fixed Rate Loans under Section 2.20, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than any outstanding Competitive Loans held by it) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (other than Competitive Loans) and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. SECTION 2.22 Unavailability of Foreign Currency Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for the Swingline Lender to make or maintain any Foreign Currency Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any such Loan or in the event that there shall occur any material adverse 51 change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would in the opinion of the Swingline Lender make it impracticable for Swingline Loans to be denominated in an applicable Foreign Currency, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender may: (i) declare that such Loans will not thereafter be made, whereupon any request for such a Borrowing shall be deemed a request for a Dollar Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (the Swingline Lender agreeing to withdraw such declaration promptly upon determining that the applicable event or condition no longer exists); and (ii) require that all outstanding Foreign Currency Loans so affected be repaid. SECTION 2.23 European Economic and Monetary Union Provisions. The following clauses of this Section 2.23 shall be effective at and from the commencement of the third stage of EMU by the United Kingdom: (a) Each obligation under this Agreement which has been denominated in English Pounds Sterling shall be redenominated into the euro unit in accordance with EMU legislation; provided, that if and to the extent that any EMU legislation provides that following the commencement of the third stage of EMU by the United Kingdom an amount denominated either in the Euro or in English Pounds Sterling and payable within the United Kingdom by crediting an account of the creditor can be paid by the debtor either in the euro unit or in English Pounds Sterling, each party to this Agreement shall be entitled to pay or repay any such amount either in the euro unit or in English Pounds Sterling. Any Fixed Rate Borrowing that would otherwise be denominated in English Pounds Sterling shall be made in the euro unit and except as provided in the forgoing sentence, any amount payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be paid in the euro unit. (b) With respect to the payment of any amount denominated in the euro unit or in English Pounds Sterling, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable to the Borrower or any Lender in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid if such party shall have taken all relevant steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds (in the euro unit or, as the case may be, in English Pounds Sterling) to the account with the bank which shall have specified for such purpose. As used herein, "all relevant steps" means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Administrative Agent may from time to time determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments of the Euro. (c) If the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in this Agreement with respect to English Pounds Sterling shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest or fees in respect of the Euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the commencement of the third stage of EMU by the United Kingdom; provided, that if any Fixed Rate English Pounds Sterling Borrowing is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period. 52 (d) Without prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by any EMU legislation and without prejudice to the respective liabilities for indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrower under or pursuant to this Agreement: (i) each reference in this Agreement to a minimum amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in English Pounds Sterling shall be replaced by a reference to such reasonably comparable and convenient amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in the euro unit as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify; and (ii) except as expressly provided in this Section 2.23, each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to the Euro in the United Kingdom. ARTICLE III REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit hereunder, the Borrower represents and warrants (which representations and warranties shall be deemed made after giving effect to the Closing Transactions (except in the case of Section 3.04(a)) to the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders that: SECTION 3.01 Organization; Powers. Each of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required. SECTION 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions and Closing Transactions are within the Borrower's and each Material Subsidiary's (as applicable) corporate, partnership or limited liability company powers (as applicable) and have been duly authorized, as applicable, by all necessary corporate, partnership or limited liability company powers (as applicable) and, if required, stockholder action. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and each Material Subsidiary (to the extent a party thereto) and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and each Material Subsidiary (as applicable), enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. SECTION 3.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions and Closing Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made 53 and are in full force and effect, (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. SECTION 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows (i) as of and for the calendar year ended December 31, 2004, audited by Ernst & Young, LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) as of and for the Fiscal Quarter and the portion of the calendar year ended September 30, 2004, certified by one of its Financial Officers. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above. (b) Since December 31, 2004, and except for the Disclosed Matters, there has been no Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. SECTION 3.05 Properties. (a) Each of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its Property material to its business (including its Collateral), which is not subject to any Lien except for (i) Permitted Encumbrances and (ii) minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes. (b) Each of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business (including its Collateral), and the use thereof by the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 3.06 Litigation. (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve this Agreement, the Transactions or the Closing Transactions. 54 (b) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 3.07 Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither (a) a Default nor (b) any other default by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any agreement that could result in a Material Adverse Effect, has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 3.10 ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (in each case determined based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, does not exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan (as of the date of determination of such benefit obligation amount) by an amount which, if it constituted a direct liability of the Borrower, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 3.11 Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.11 hereto accurately (a) reflects (i) the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, and (ii) each jurisdiction in which the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation, foreign partnership or foreign limited liability company, and (b) specifies those Subsidiaries that are Material Subsidiaries.

SECTION 3.13 Employee Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective employees, is subject to any collective bargaining agreement. There are no strikes, slowdowns, work stoppages or controversies pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or their respective employees, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 3.14 Disclosure. The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Information Memorandum, nor any of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. SECTION 3.15 Margin Stock. None of the proceeds of the Loans will be used for the purpose of, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower is engaged in the business of, extending credit for the purpose of (a) purchasing or carrying any "margin stock" as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 C.F.R. Part 221) or (b) reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin stock, in either case in violation of Regulation U. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower is engaged principally in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower nor any Person acting on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower has taken or will take any action which would cause any of the Loan Documents, including this Agreement and any Subsidiary Guaranty, to violate Regulation U or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or to violate any similar provision of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or regulation under any such provision thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, proceeds of a Loan may be used to purchase margin stock in a Permitted Acquisition if, after applying the proceeds of the applicable Loan, such Loan can be made in compliance with Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. SECTION 3.16 Primary Business. The primary business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole is that of the manufacturing of transportation, construction and industrial products, and the leasing of railroad tank cars, covered hopper cars, box cars and related equipment. 56 SECTION 3.17 Environmental Matters. (a) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

(c) The Borrower and each Subsidiary have taken all reasonable steps necessary to determine and have determined that no Hazardous Materials or solid waste has been disposed of or otherwise released and there has been no threatened release of any Hazardous Materials on or to any Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary except in compliance with Environmental Laws, and except for releases that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 3.18 Schedules to other Loan Documents. All information set forth in all disclosure schedules to the other Loan Documents is true, correct and complete in all material respects. SECTION 3.19 Senior Indebtedness. The Lender Indebtedness constitutes "Senior Indebtedness" of the Borrower under and as defined in the Indenture. ARTICLE IV CONDITIONS SECTION 4.01 Effective Date.

Upon satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in this Section 4.01, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall execute the Certificate of Effectiveness. Upon the execution and delivery of the Certificate of Effectiveness, the Existing Credit Agreement shall automatically and completely be amended and restated on the terms set forth herein without necessity of any other action on the part of any Lender, any Agent or the Borrower.

The advances made under this Section 4.03 shall be ABR Borrowings made under each Lender's Revolving Commitment unless another Type of Borrowing is selected by the Borrower to be applicable thereto.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power 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 the Administrative 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 the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. (b) Except in connection with the execution and delivery by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of a Certificate of Leverage Ratio Adjustment (which shall require no further action on the part of the parties hereto), which shall only have the effect of reducing the Leverage Ratio set forth in Section 7.09(b) to 2.75 to 1.00, neither this Agreement nor any of the Loan Documents nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the 76 Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Revolving Commitment of any Lender or the aggregate amount of any credit extension required to be made by any Revolving Lender pursuant to its Commitment and the terms of this Agreement, in each case without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.19(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (v) release any Material Subsidiary from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) release any material portion of the Collateral without the written consent of each Lender and each party otherwise required to consent thereto pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, except as otherwise expressly permitted hereby, and provided that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall release (without consent from the Lenders or any other Person) any Collateral sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of as permitted by Section 7.03 hereof, (vii) waive any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 to the making of the Loans without the consent of each Lender affected thereby, or (viii) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.02(b) or the definition of "Required Lenders" or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of such Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree that all Hedging Agreements in effect from time to time between any Lender (or any of its Affiliates) and the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of such Hedging Agreements, which will remain in force and effect, notwithstanding any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase, or change in the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document except as otherwise expressly provided in any such Hedging Agreement, and any payoff statement from the Administrative Agent relating to the Lender Indebtedness shall not apply to any such Hedging Agreement unless otherwise expressly consented or agreed to by the applicable Lender (or its Affiliate) and the Borrower. SECTION 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, 77 modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.03, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. (b) THE BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY THE AGENTS, THE ISSUING BANK, THE ARRANGER AND EACH LENDER, AND EACH RELATED PARTY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PERSONS (EACH SUCH PERSON BEING CALLED AN "INDEMNITEE") AGAINST, AND HOLD EACH INDEMNITEE HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES AND RELATED EXPENSES, INCLUDING THE FEES, CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY COUNSEL FOR ANY INDEMNITEE, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF (i) THE EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, THE PERFORMANCE BY THE PARTIES TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, (ii) ANY LOAN OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREFROM (INCLUDING ANY REFUSAL BY THE ISSUING BANK TO HONOR A DEMAND FOR PAYMENT UNDER A LETTER OF CREDIT IF THE DOCUMENTS PRESENTED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DEMAND DO NOT STRICTLY COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT), (iii) ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED PRESENCE OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR FROM ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR OPERATED BY THE BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, OR ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, (iv) THE FAILURE TO PAY ANY LOAN OR LC DISBURSEMENT DENOMINATED IN AN AVAILABLE CURRENCY, OR ANY INTEREST THEREON, IN THE AVAILABLE CURRENCY IN WHICH SUCH LOAN WAS MADE OR APPLICABLE LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUED, OR (v) ANY ACTUAL OR PROSPECTIVE CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO; PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNITEE, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE (IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH OF THE INDEMNITEES BE INDEMNIFIED IN THE CASE OF ITS OWN NEGLIGENCE (OTHER THAN GROSS NEGLIGENCE), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH NEGLIGENCE IS SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, IMPUTED, JOINT 78 OR TECHNICAL). NO INDEMNITEE SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY OTHERS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIAL OBTAINED THROUGH THE INTERNET, INTRALINKS OR OTHER SIMILAR INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. THE BORROWER AGREES THAT NO INDEMNITEE SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH ITS ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. FURTHERMORE, TO INDUCE THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER AND EACH OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, OFFSETS, DEFENSES OR COUNTERCLAIMS, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, ARISING PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE AND RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.03, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agents, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, any other Loan Document, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. (e) All amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. SECTION 10.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 79 (b) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their affiliates) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) by executing, and causing the assignee thereof to execute, an Assignment and Acceptance; provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of an assignment of all or a portion of a Revolving Commitment or any Lender's obligations in respect of its LC Exposure, the Issuing Bank) must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Lender's Revolving Commitment, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments assigned to an assignee, and the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments retained by the assignor after giving effect to such assignment, shall not be less than $5,000,000 (provided, that, if the Revolving Commitments have expired or terminated, such limits shall apply to the amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure assigned and retained), (iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Lender's Revolving Commitment, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments 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 be in increments of $1,000,000 and not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iv) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that this clause (iv) shall not apply to rights in respect of outstanding Competitive Loans, (v) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, except in the case of an assignment to a Lender Affiliate, in which case no processing and recordation fee shall be payable, and (vi) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and provided further that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and to the other Loan Documents 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 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 of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 2.20 and 10.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section 10.04(b). (c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Houston, Texas or Dallas, Texas a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and 80 addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. (e) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their affiliates) (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided 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 and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section 10.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.19(c) as though it were a Lender. (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 or 2.18 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.18(e) as though it were a Lender. 81 (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. SECTION 10.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Material Subsidiaries in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Arranger or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Revolving Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 2.20 and 10.03 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. SECTION 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 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. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Article IV, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. SECTION 10.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. SECTION 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general 82 or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. SECTION 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of Texas. (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of Texas and of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, 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 Texas 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 other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. (c) 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 any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.09. 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. (d) 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 or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. SECTION 10.10 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 ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO 83 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 BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.10. SECTION 10.11 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 shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. SECTION 10.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.12, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.12 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section 10.12, "Information" means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. SECTION 10.13 Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable interest, usury and criminal laws and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary to a Lender, the Issuing Bank or any Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to the extent that receipt thereof would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby would be illegal, unenforceable, usurious or criminal under laws applicable to a Lender, the 84 Issuing Bank or any Agent (including the laws of any jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender or the Administrative Agent notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document) then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is agreed as follows: (i) the provisions of this Section 10.13 shall govern and control; (ii) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under this Agreement, or under any of the other aforesaid agreements or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law (such maximum lawful interest rate if any, with respect to such Lender, the Issuing Bank and the Agents herein called the "Highest Lawful Rate"), and any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited to the Borrower by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent (or, if such consideration shall have been paid in full, such excess refunded to the Borrower); (iii) all sums paid, or agreed to be paid, to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent for the use, forbearance and detention of the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent hereunder or under any Loan Document shall, to the extent permitted by laws applicable to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent, as the case may be, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform throughout the full term thereof; (iv) if at any time the interest provided pursuant to this Section 10.13 or any other clause of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with any other fees or compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and deemed interest under laws applicable to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent, exceeds that amount which would have accrued at the Highest Lawful Rate, the amount of interest and any such fees or compensation to accrue to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent pursuant to this Agreement or such other Loan Document shall be limited, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to that amount which would have accrued at the Highest Lawful Rate, but any subsequent reductions, as applicable, shall not reduce the interest to accrue to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent pursuant to this Agreement or such other Loan Document below the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest accrued pursuant to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, and such fees or compensation deemed to be interest equals the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent if a varying rate per annum equal to the interest provided pursuant to any other relevant Section hereof (other than this Section 10.13) or thereof as applicable, had at all times been in effect, plus the amount of fees which would have been received but for the effect of this Section 10.13; and (v) with the intent that the rate of interest herein shall at all times be lawful, if the receipt of any funds owing hereunder or under any other agreement related hereto 85 (including any of the other Loan Documents) by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent would cause such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent to charge the Borrower a criminal rate of interest, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Agents agree that they will not require the payment or receipt thereof or a portion thereof which would cause a criminal rate of interest to be charged by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent, as applicable, and if received such affected Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Agent will return such funds to the Borrower so that the rate of interest paid by the Borrower shall not exceed a criminal rate of interest from the date this Agreement was entered into. SECTION 10.14 Arranger; Syndication Agents; Documentation Agent. None of the Arranger, the Syndication Agents or the Documentation Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any other Loan Document other than, except in the case of the Arranger, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Arranger, the Syndication Agents or the Documentation Agent shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Arranger, the Syndication Agents or the Documentation Agent in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking any action hereunder or under the Loan Documents. SECTION 10.15 NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES. SECTION 10.16 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. SECTION 10.17 Lender Indebtedness as Senior Indebtedness. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Lender Indebtedness is "Senior Indebtedness" of the Borrower under and as defined in the Indenture. SECTION 10.18 Judgment Currency. This is a loan transaction in which the specification of a Foreign Currency or Dollars is of the essence, and the stipulated currency shall in each instance be the currency of account and payment in all instances. A payment obligation in one currency hereunder (the "Original Currency") shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency (the "Other Currency"), whether pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any Other Currency or in another place except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by a party hereto of the full amount of the Original Currency payable to such party. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Original Currency into the Other Currency, the 86 rate of exchange that shall apply shall be the applicable Spot Rate. The obligation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender under any Loan Document (in this Section 10.18 called an "Entitled Person") shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the Other Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with the amount of the judgment currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrower, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Original Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the Original Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Other Currency so purchased. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection, and the Guarantor specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required that any Lender Party exercise any right, assert any claim or demand, or enforce any remedy whatsoever against the Borrower or any other Loan Party (or any other Person) before or as a condition to the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. Section 2.02 ACCELERATION OF GUARANTY. The Guarantor agrees that, in the event that the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to Article VIII of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor will pay to the Administrative Agent for itself and as agent for the Lender Parties forthwith the full amount of all such Obligations. Section 2.03 GUARANTY ABSOLUTE, ETC.

The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) the failure of any Lender Party (1) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person (including any other guarantor) under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or otherwise, or (2) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of any Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party; B-3 (c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or any other extension, compromise, or renewal of any Obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party for any reason (other than indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and the Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, non-genuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or otherwise; (e) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (f) any addition, exchange, release, surrender or non-perfection of any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, held by any Lender Party securing any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party; or (g) any other circumstance (other than indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations) which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any surety, or any guarantor. Section 2.04 REINSTATEMENT, ETC. The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender Party, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. Section 2.05 WAIVER, ETC.

Section 2.06 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations and the termination or expiration of all Revolving Commitments and Letters of Credit, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Borrower or any other Loan Party that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Lender Parties against the B-4 Borrower or any other Loan Party or any collateral which the Administrative Agent now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from the Borrower or any other Loan Party, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to the Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Lender Parties, and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Credit Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this Section is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 3.02 ORGANIZATION; POWERS. The Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

This Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor and constitutes, and each other Loan Document executed or to be executed by the Guarantor, when executed and delivered by the Guarantor, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. Section 3.04 APPROVALS; NO CONFLICTS.

The Guarantor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Borrower; and the Guarantor's guaranty pursuant to this Guaranty reasonably may be expected to benefit, directly or indirectly, the Guarantor; and the Guarantor has determined that this Guaranty is necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion and attainment of the business of the Guarantor and the Borrower.

THIS POWER OF ATTORNEY IS A POWER COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 7.11.

Section 5.03 Possession; Reasonable Care. The Agent may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, appoint one or more agents to hold physical custody, for the account of the Agent, of any or all of the Collateral that the Agent has a right to possess.

ARTICLE VI DEFAULT Section 6.01 Rights and Remedies. If an Event of Default exists, the Agent shall have the following rights and remedies: (a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the Agent in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document or by applicable law, the Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral).

The Agent shall have the right at any public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at any private sale or sales, to bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of indebtedness) and become a purchaser of the Collateral or any part thereof free of any right or equity of redemption on the part of any Debtor, which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by each Debtor. Upon the request of the Agent, each Debtor shall assemble its Collateral and make it available to the Agent at any place designated by the Agent that is reasonably convenient to such Debtor and the Agent. Each Debtor agrees that the Agent shall not be obligated to give more than ten (10) days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale may take place and that such notice shall constitute reasonable notice of such matters. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of Collateral may have been given. The Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. Each Debtor shall be liable for all reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or the like, and all reasonable attorneys' fees, legal expenses and other costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the collection of the Obligations and the enforcement of the Agent's rights under this Agreement. Each Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral applied to the Obligations are insufficient to pay the Obligations in full to the extent provided in the Transaction Documents. The Agent shall apply the proceeds of Collateral against the Obligations as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Debtor waives all rights of marshalling, G-7 valuation and appraisal in respect of the Collateral. Any cash held by the Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Agent, be held by the Agent as collateral for, and then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by the Agent against, the Obligations in the order permitted by the Intercreditor Agreement. The Agent shall have no obligation to invest or otherwise pay interest on any amounts held by it in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement. (b) The Agent may cause any or all of the Collateral held by it to be transferred into the name of the Agent or the name or names of the Agent's nominee or nominees. (c) The Agent may exercise any and all of the rights and remedies of any Debtor under or in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any and all rights of it to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, any of the Collateral. (d) The Agent may collect or receive all money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so. (e) On any sale of the Collateral, the Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction with which compliance is necessary, in the view of the Agent's counsel, in order to avoid any violation of applicable law or in order to obtain any required approval of the purchaser or purchasers by any applicable governmental authority. (f) For purposes of enabling the Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under this Section 6.01 and enabling the Agent and its successors and assigns to enjoy the full benefits of the Collateral in each case as the Agent shall be entitled to exercise its rights and remedies under this Section 6.01, each Debtor hereby grants to the Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to it) to, if an Event of Default exists, use, assign, license or sublicense any of its intellectual property, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and all computer programs used for the completion or printout thereof and further including in such license such rights of quality control and inspection as are reasonably necessary to prevent the trademarks included in such license from claims of invalidation. This license shall also inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns and transferees of the Agent. ARTICLE VII MISCELLANEOUS Section 7.01 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Agent to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. Section 7.02 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Debtor and the Agent and respective successors and assigns, except that no Debtor may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Creditors. G-8 Section 7.03 AMENDMENT; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND SUPERSEDES ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO.

Section 7.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and on facsimile counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Section 7.09 Waiver of Bond. In the event the Agent seeks to take possession of any or all of the Collateral by judicial process, each Debtor hereby irrevocably waives any bonds and any surety or security relating thereto that may be required by applicable law as an incident to such possession, and waives any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any such suit or action. Section 7.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

RIGHTS OF SECURED PARTY. (a) Rights to Dividends, Distributions, and Payments. With respect to such instruments which are certificates, bonds or other securities, Secured Party may demand of the obligor issuing the same, and may receive and receipt for, any and all dividends and other distributions (other than cash dividends) payable in respect thereof, whether ordinary or extraordinary. Secured Party shall have the authority, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and without notice to Pledgor, to have such certificates, bonds or other securities registered either in Secured Party's name or in the name of a nominee. If, while this Agreement is in effect, Pledgor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a stock or ownership interest dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital, or issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights, whether as an addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, or otherwise, Pledgor agrees to accept the same as Secured Party's agent and to hold the same in trust on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Party, and to deliver the same forthwith to Secured Party in the exact form received, with appropriate undated stock powers, duly executed in blank, to be held by Secured Party, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations. Until and unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor shall be entitled to H-3 receive and utilize all cash dividends, principal, and interest paid in respect of the Collateral. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall be entitled to all cash dividends and to any sums paid upon or in respect of the Collateral upon the liquidation, dissolution or reorganization of the issuer thereof which shall be paid to Secured Party to be held by it as additional collateral security for the Obligations. In case any distribution shall be made on or in respect of the Collateral pursuant to the reorganization, liquidation or dissolution of the issuer thereof, the property so distributed shall be delivered to Secured Party to be held by it as additional collateral security for the Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all sums of money and property so paid or distributed in respect of the Collateral (other than proceeds of any liquidation or similar proceeding) which are received by Pledgor shall, until paid or delivered to Secured Party, be held by Pledgor in trust as additional Collateral for the Obligations. (b) Preservation of Collateral. Neither Secured Party nor any Creditor shall have any duty to fix or preserve rights against prior parties to the Collateral, nor be liable for any delay in the collection of, or failure to use diligence to collect on, the Obligations or any amount payable in respect of the Collateral. (c) Performance by Secured Party. Should any covenant, duty or agreement of Pledgor fail to be performed in accordance with its terms hereunder, Secured Party may, but shall never be obligated to, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of Pledgor, and any amount expended by Secured Party in such performance or attempted performance shall become a part of the Obligations, shall be payable upon demand and shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (1) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (2) the rate set forth in Section 2.13(d) of the Revolver Agreement. (d) Voting Rights. It is expressly understood and agreed that Pledgor shall retain all voting rights to the Collateral until the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at which time such voting rights for purposes of collateral preservation shall transfer to Secured Party, at its sole discretion and in accordance with Section 4(e) hereof; provided, however, that no voting, corporate or management rights shall be exercised or vote cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken by Pledgor that would impair the Collateral or be inconsistent with or violate any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents. (e) Power of Attorney. PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY GRANTS TO SECURED PARTY PLEDGOR'S PROXY (EXERCISABLE FROM AND AFTER THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT WHICH IS CONTINUING) TO VOTE ANY COLLATERAL AND APPOINTS SECURED PARTY AS PLEDGOR'S ATTORNEY-IN-FACT TO PERFORM ALL OBLIGATIONS OF PLEDGOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND TO EXERCISE ALL OF SECURED PARTY'S RIGHTS HEREUNDER. THE PROXY AND POWER OF ATTORNEY HEREIN GRANTED, AND EACH STOCK POWER AND SIMILAR POWER NOW OR HEREAFTER GRANTED (INCLUDING ANY EVIDENCED BY A SEPARATE WRITING) ARE COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND ARE IRREVOCABLE PRIOR TO FINAL PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE OBLIGATIONS. 5. DEFAULT. (a) Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies which Secured Party or any Creditor may then have hereunder, under any other Transaction Documents, under applicable law or otherwise, Secured Party at its option may, subject to any limitation or restriction imposed by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other law relating to the relief of debtors, (1) obtain from any Person H-4 information regarding Pledgor, any issuer of the Collateral, or any of their businesses, which information any such Person may furnish without liability to Pledgor; (2) require Pledgor to give possession or control of any of the Collateral to Secured Party; (3) unless earlier permitted hereunder, take control of funds generated by the Collateral and any other proceeds and exercise all other rights which an owner of such Collateral may exercise; (4) declare the entire unpaid balance of principal and interest on the Obligations immediately due and payable, without notice, demand or presentment, which are hereby expressly waived; (5) reduce its claim to judgment, foreclose or otherwise enforce its security interest in all or any part of the Collateral by any available judicial procedure; (6) after notification, if any, provided for in this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, sell or otherwise dispose of, at the office of Secured Party, all or any part of the Collateral, and any such sale or other disposition shall be in accordance with applicable law, and may be as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (it being agreed that the sale of any part of the Collateral shall not exhaust Secured Party's power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time until all of the Collateral has been sold or until the Obligations have been paid in full), and at any such sale it shall not be necessary to exhibit the Collateral; (7) at its discretion, retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations whenever the circumstances are such that Secured Party is entitled to do so under applicable law; (8) apply by appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, or any part hereof, and Pledgor hereby consents to any appointment; (9) buy the Collateral at any public sale; and (10) buy the Collateral at any private sale, subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law. Pledgor agrees that, if notice is required to be given by applicable law, ten days' advance written notice shall constitute reasonable notice. Secured Party shall apply the proceeds of any collection, sale, disposition or other realization upon any Collateral as follows: First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale, disposition, or other realization, including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Secured Party and the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel; Next, to the payment of the Obligations, as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, and in such manner consistent with applicable laws as Secured Party in its discretion shall decide; and Finally, to the payment to Pledgor, or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining. If the proceeds of collection, sale, disposition, or other realization are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Obligations, Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency. (b) Securities Laws; Transfer. (1) Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Pledgor hereby grants to Secured Party the right to have the Collateral, or any portion thereof, registered and sold under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), or under any applicable state blue sky laws. If Secured Party shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, and if in the reasonable opinion of Secured Party it is necessary or advisable to have the Collateral (or that portion thereof to be sold) registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, Pledgor will cause the issuer of the Collateral to execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all at Pledgor's and/or such issuer's expense, all such instruments and documents, and to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary or, in the opinion of Secured Party, advisable to register such Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act and H-5 to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of such Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, and to make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of Secured Party, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of applicable law. Pledgor agrees to cause the issuer of the Collateral to comply with the provisions of the securities or "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction which Secured Party shall designate and to cause the issuer of the Collateral to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act. (2) Pledgor recognizes that Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale conducted in the manner described herein may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any private sale shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner. Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of the Collateral to register such Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the issuer of the Collateral would agree to do so. (3) Pledgor further agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make any sales of any portion or all of the Collateral pursuant to paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) of this Section 5 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto), regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at Pledgor's expense. Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5 will cause irreparable injury to Secured Party and that Secured Party may not have an adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach. As a consequence, Pledgor agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants. (4) Pledgor agrees (A) that in the event Secured Party shall, upon any Event of Default, sell the Collateral or any portion thereof, at a private sale or sales, Secured Party shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of a member of a nationally recognized investment banking firm acceptable to Secured Party, as to the best price reasonably obtainable upon such a private sale thereof, and (B) in the absence of fraud, willful misconduct and gross negligence, that such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that Secured Party handled such matter in a commercially reasonable manner under the UCC. (c) Governmental Approvals. In connection with the exercise by Secured Party of its rights hereunder, it may be necessary to obtain the prior consent or approval of a Governmental Authority or other Persons to the exercise of rights with respect to the Collateral, and any representations and warranties made by Pledgor herein shall be deemed appropriately amended to reflect this fact. Pledgor hereby agrees to execute, deliver and file, and hereby appoints (to the extent permitted under H-6 applicable law) Secured Party as its attorney to execute, deliver and file on Pledgor's behalf and in Pledgor's name, all applications, certificates, filings, instruments and other documents (including without limitation any application for an assignment or transfer of control or ownership) that may be necessary or appropriate, in Secured Party's opinion, to obtain such consents or approvals. Pledgor further agrees to use its best efforts to obtain such consents or approvals. Pledgor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that Pledgor's efforts to obtain any approval required by this Section may be specifically enforced. (d) Notice. Notification of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral, or reasonable notification of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made, shall be sent to Pledgor and to any other Person entitled under applicable law to notice. 6. GENERAL. (a) Secured Party's Duties. The Creditors have appointed Secured Party to act as their agent as provided herein. In the event Secured Party is replaced pursuant to Section 6.04 of the Intercreditor Agreement, the successor Secured Party appointed in accordance with Section 6.04 of the Intercreditor Agreement shall be the Secured Party hereunder. The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect the Creditors interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Secured Party shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders, or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not Secured Party or any Creditor has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property. Except as set forth herein Secured Party shall not have any duty or liability to protect or preserve any Collateral or to preserve rights pertaining thereto. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring or obligating Secured Party, and Secured Party shall not be required or obligated, (1) to present or file any claim or notice or take any action, with respect to any Collateral or in connection therewith or (2) to notify Pledgor of any decline in the value of any Collateral. (b) Cumulative Rights. All rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy which Secured Party may otherwise have at law or in equity or under any other contract or other writing for the enforcement of the security interest herein or the collection of the Obligations, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies. (c) Waiver. Should any part of the Obligations be payable in installments, the acceptance by any Creditor at any time and from time to time of partial payment of the aggregate amount of all installments then matured shall not be deemed as a waiver of any Event of Default then existing. No waiver by Secured Party or any Creditor of any Event of Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent Event of Default, nor shall any such waiver by Secured Party be deemed to be a continuing waiver. No delay or omission by Secured Party or any Creditor in exercising any right or power hereunder, or under any other Transaction Documents, shall impair any such right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or power of Secured Party or any Creditor hereunder or under such other writings. H-7 (d) Interest; Limitation of Law. No provision herein or in any Transaction Document shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. If, in any contingency whatsoever, Secured Party or any Creditor shall receive anything of value from Pledgor deemed interest under applicable law which would exceed the maximum amount of interest permissible under applicable law, the provisions of the Transaction Documents shall govern.

Schedule 1.01-1 SCHEDULE 1.02 CALCULATION OF MLA COST 1. The MLA Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate the Swingline Lender for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b)the requirements of the European Central Bank. 2. On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the "Additional Cost Rate") for the Swingline Lender if the provisions of this Schedule 1.02 are applicable to it, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The MLA Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. 3. The Additional Cost Rate for the Swingline Lender lending from an office, through which it will perform it obligations under this Agreement (the "Facility Office"), in a member state of the European Communities that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the European Community relating to Economic and Monetary Union, will be the percentage notified by that the Swingline Lender to the Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by the Swingline Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office. 4. The Additional Cost Rate for the Swingline Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows: (a) in relation to an English Pounds Sterling Fixed Rate Borrowings: AB + C(B-D) + Ex 0.01 --------------------- per cent. per annum 100 - (A + C) (b) in relation to a Fixed Rate Borrowing in any Available Currency other than English Pounds Sterling: Ex 0.01 ------- per cent. per annum 300 Where: A. is the percentage of eligible liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which the Swingline Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements. B. is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the applicable margin and the MLA Cost) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Fixed Rate Borrowing. C. is the percentage (if any) of eligible liabilities which the Swingline Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing special deposits with the Bank of England. Schedule 1.02 - 1 D. is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to JPMorgan's London office on interest bearing special deposits. E. is designed to compensate the Swingline Lender for amounts payable under the fees rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the most recent rate of charge supplied by JPMorgan's London Branch to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per (pound)1,000,000. 5. For the purposes of this Schedule 1.02: (a) "eligible liabilities" and "special deposits" have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England; (b) "fees rules" means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; (c) "fee tariffs" means the fee tariffs specified in the fees rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the fees rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and (d) "tariff base" has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the fees rules. 6. In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e., 5 per cent, will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places. 7. If requested by the Administrative Agent, JPMorgan's London Branch shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent, the rate of charge payable by it to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the fees rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by JPMorgan's London office as being the average of the fee tariffs applicable to JPMorgan's London office for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per (pound)1,000,000 of its tariff base. 8. The Swingline Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, the Swingline Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Schedule 1.02: (a) the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and (b) any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose. The Swingline Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph. Schedule 1.02 - 2 9. The percentages for the purpose of A and C above and the rate of charge of JPMorgan's London office for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless the Swingline Lender notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, the Swingline Lender's obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and special deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office. 10. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates the Swingline Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by the Swingline Lender or JPMorgan's London office pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects. 11. The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the MLA Cost to the Swingline Lender on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate based on the information provided by the Swingline Lender and each reference bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8. 12. Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule 1.02 in relation to a formula, the MLA Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to the Swingline Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all the parties. 13. The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower and the Swingline Lender, determine and notify to all the parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule 1.02 in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all the parties.
