Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Letter of Credit a required minimum or multiple amount is expressed in Dollars, but such Letter of Credit is denominated in a Foreign Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest 1,000 units of such Foreign Currency).
ARTICLE II
THE CREDITS
          SECTION 2.01 The Commitments.
          (a) Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount that will result in neither (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment nor (ii) the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Credit Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans.
          (b) Tranche A Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Tranche A Term Lender agrees to make one or more Tranche A Term Loans to the Borrower on the Acquisition Date (but in no event after the termination of the Tranche A Term Loan Availability Period) in Dollars, in a principal amount not exceeding its Tranche A Term Loan Commitment. Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of Tranche A Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
          (c) Tranche B Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Tranche B Term Lender agrees to make one or more Tranche B Term Loans to the Borrower on the Effective Date, in Dollars, in a principal amount not exceeding its Tranche B Term Loan Commitment. Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of Tranche B Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
          (d) Incremental Loans. In addition to Borrowings of Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above, at any time and from time to time, the Borrower may request that any one or more of the Lenders or, at the option of the Borrower, other financial institutions or funds selected by the Borrower offer to enter into commitments to make additional term Incremental Loans to the Borrower, in Dollars, under this paragraph (d). In the event that one or more of the Lenders or such other financial institutions or funds offer, in their sole discretion, to enter into such commitments, and such Lenders or financial institutions or funds and the Borrower agree as to the
Credit Agreement


 

-32-

amount of such commitments that shall be allocated to the respective Lenders or financial institutions or funds making such offers and the fees (if any) to be payable by the Borrower in connection therewith, such Lenders or financial institutions or funds shall become obligated to make Incremental Loans under this Agreement in an amount equal to the amount of their respective Incremental Loan Commitments (and such financial institutions shall become “Incremental Lenders” hereunder). The Incremental Loans to be made pursuant to any such agreement between the Borrower and any such Lenders or financial institutions or funds in response to any such request by the Borrower shall be deemed to be a separate “Series” of Incremental Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.
          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the minimum aggregate principal amount of Incremental Loan Commitments entered into pursuant to any such request (and, accordingly, the minimum aggregate principal amount of any Series of Incremental Loans) shall be (A) $20,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 or (B) any other amount consented to by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Loan Commitments established after the date hereof plus the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Commitment Increases obtained after the date hereof shall not exceed $250,000,000. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Incremental Loans of any Series shall have the interest rate, participation and other fees, commitment reduction schedule (if any), amortization and maturity date, and be subject to such conditions to effectiveness and initial credit extension, as shall be agreed upon by the respective Incremental Lenders of such Series, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which agreement by the Administrative Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld in the case of interest rates and participation and other fees), provided that in any event (i) the Incremental Loans shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the collateral security and Guarantees provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents on an equal and ratable basis with each other Loan, (ii) the maturity for Incremental Loans shall not be earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date for Tranche B Term Loans and may be later than such Term Loan Maturity Date to the extent so agreed by the Borrower and such Incremental Lenders and (iii) the weighted average-life-to-maturity for such Series of Incremental Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average-life-to-maturity for the Tranche B Term Loans and may be longer than the weighted average-life-to-maturity for the Tranche B Term Loans to the extent so agreed by the Borrower and such Incremental Lenders.
          Following the acceptance by the Borrower of the offers made by any one or more Lenders to make any Series of Incremental Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (d), each Incremental Lender in respect of such Series of Incremental Loans severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make such Incremental Loans to the Borrower during the period from and including the date of such acceptance to and including the commitment termination date specified in the agreement entered into with respect to such Series in an aggregate principal amount up to but not exceeding the amount of the Incremental Loan Commitment of such Incremental Lender in
          respect of such Series as in effect from time to time. Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of Incremental Loans may not be reborrowed.
          SECTION 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.
          (a) Obligations of Lenders. Each Syndicated Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. Each Swingline Loan shall be made in
Credit Agreement


 

-33-

accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.
          (b) Type of Loans. Subject to Section 2.13, each Syndicated Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or of Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
          (c) Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. Each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $2,500,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000.

Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount equal to $100,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000. Borrowings of more than one Class and Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of fifteen Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.
          (d) Limitations on Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request (or to elect to convert to or continue as a Eurodollar Borrowing):
     (i) any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date;
     (ii) any Term Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would end after the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date;
     (iii) any Term Borrowing of either Class if the Interest Period requested therefor would commence before and end after any Principal Payment Date unless, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans of such Class having Interest Periods that end after such Principal Payment Date shall be equal to or less than the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans of such Class permitted to be outstanding after giving effect to the payments of principal required to be made on such Principal Payment Date; and
     (iv) any Borrowing of a Series of Incremental Term Loans if the Interest Period requested therefor would commence before and end after (x) the final maturity date for such Series or (y) any date specified for the amortization of such Series unless, in the case of this clause (y), after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Loans of such Series having Interest Periods that end after such date shall be equal to or less than the
Credit Agreement

aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Loans of such Series permitted to be outstanding after giving effect to the payments of principal required to be made on such date.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $25,000,000 or (ii) the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Credit Commitments, provided that such Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.
          (b) Notice of Swingline Loans by the Borrower. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request in writing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the applicable Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. Such Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with such Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f), by remittance to the respective Issuing Lender) by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

The applicable Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Credit Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Credit Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Credit Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above in this paragraph, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of such Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph 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 Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lender.
          The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to the preceding paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to a Swingline Lender. Any amounts
Credit Agreement

received by a Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such 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 Credit Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to the preceding paragraph and to such Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear, provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such 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 paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
          SECTION 2.05 Letters of Credit.
          (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Loans provided for in Section 2.01, the Borrower may request any Issuing Lender to issue, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Availability Period, Letters of Credit for its own account (or in the case of letters of credit referred to in Section 2.05(m), for the account of the Target Company) in such form as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender in its reasonable determination, which Letters of Credit may be denominated in Dollars or in any Agreed Foreign Currency. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Revolving Credit Commitments.
          (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal or Extension. 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 respective Issuing Lender) to an Issuing Lender selected by it 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 (d) of this Section), the amount and Currency of such Letter of Credit, 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. Such notice shall be given to the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of a Letter of Credit to be denominated in Dollars, not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed issuance, amendment, renewal or extension and (ii) in the case of a Letter of Credit to be denominated in a Foreign Currency, not later than 4:00 p.m., London time, three Business Days (or four Business Days if longer notice is determined by the Administrative Agent to be required) before the date of the proposed issuance, amendment, renewal or extension. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify each Lender of the issuance of any Letter of Credit and upon request by any Lender, furnish to such Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s participation therein.
          If requested by the respective Issuing Lender, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.

Credit Agreement


 

-37-

Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, an Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
          (c) Limitations. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended (including pursuant to paragraphs (l) and (m) of this Section 2.05) only if after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (A) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed $125,000,000 and (B) the total Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant as to the same).
          (d) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date.
          (e) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by any Issuing Lender, and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Lender or the Lenders, such Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph 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 Commitments.
          In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the respective Issuing Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of each LC Disbursement made by an Issuing Lender promptly upon the request of such Issuing Lender at any time from the time of such LC Disbursement until such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by the Borrower or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the respective Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to the immediately following paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the respective Issuing Lender or, to the extent that the Revolving Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
Credit Agreement


 

-38-

          (f) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender in respect of such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, 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, provided that, if the Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 2.04 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Credit ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan 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 Revolving Credit ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent thereof.
          (g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, or any 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 in such draft or other document being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the respective Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly 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, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.
          Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Lender, 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 by the respective Issuing Lender 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) or any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Lender 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 such Issuing Lender’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 an Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination, and that:
Credit Agreement


 

-39-

     (i) any Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
     (ii) any Issuing Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to decline to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and
     (iii) this sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by each Issuing Lender when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing).
          (h) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Lender shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Lender 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 such Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
          (i) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender for any Letter of Credit 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 Revolving Credit ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, then Section 2.12(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for account of such Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Lender shall be for account of such Revolving Credit Lender to the extent of such payment.
          (j) Replacement of an Issuing Lender. Any Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to include such successor or any previous Issuing Lender, or such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and

obligations of an Issuing Lender 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.

If either (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 of the Revolving Credit Loans (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Credit Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, or (ii) the Borrower shall be required to provide cover for LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.10(c), the Borrower shall immediately deposit into a cash collateral account established at a banking institution selected by the Administrative Agent (the “Collateral Account”), which account may be a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York), in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to, in the case of an Event of Default, 105% of the Dollar Equivalent of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and, in the case of cover pursuant to Section 2.10(c), the amount required under Section 2.10(c), 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 Section 7.01. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.
          The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Collateral 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 the Collateral Account. Moneys in the Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Lender 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 Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of all Lenders with LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (ii) pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(ii), 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 (in the case of the preceding clause (i)) or as provided in said Section 2.10(c)(ii) (in the case of the preceding clause (ii)).
          (l) Letters of Credit Under the Existing Credit Agreement. To the extent that, pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Existing Credit Agreement, BNP Paribas, as the “Issuing Lender” thereunder, has issued “Letters of Credit” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement then, on the Effective Date, subject to (i) the satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder set forth in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 and (ii) the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(c), each of such “Letters of Credit” under the Existing Credit Agreement shall automatically, and without any action on the part of any Person, become Letters of Credit hereunder.

          (m) Letters of Credit Under the Existing Cornell Credit Agreement. If any letters of credit issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. under the Existing Cornell Credit Agreement remain outstanding on the Acquisition Date, then, subject to (i) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.03, (ii) the Borrower selecting JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. consenting to be, an “Issuing Lender” hereunder (in which case, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall be deemed acceptable to the Administrative Agent to be an “Issuing Lender”) and (iii) the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(c), such letters of credit shall automatically, and without any action on the part of any Person, become Letters of Credit hereunder.
          SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.
          (a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such 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 New York City and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Revolving Credit ABR Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(f) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the respective Issuing Lender.
          (b) Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such 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 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 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 a payment to be made by such Lender, 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 and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

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 shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.
          (b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Syndicated Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.

          (d) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
          (e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Eurodollar Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

          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 such Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Syndicated Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall automatically be converted to a Syndicated ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period therefor.
          SECTION 2.08 Termination and Reduction of the Commitments.
          (a) Scheduled Termination.

          (d) Maintenance of Records by Lenders.

          (f) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records 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.

Upon the date 180 days following the receipt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of the proceeds of insurance, condemnation award or other compensation in respect of any Casualty Event affecting any property of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or upon such earlier date as the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have determined not to repair or replace the property affected by such Casualty Event), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans, and/or the Commitments shall be subject to automatic reduction, in an aggregate amount, if any, equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds of such Casualty Event not theretofore applied or committed to be applied (and if committed to be applied, not actually applied within 360 days following the receipt of such proceeds) to the repair or replacement of such property, such prepayment and/or reduction to be effected in each case in the manner and to the extent specified in clause (vi) of this paragraph.

Without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to obtain the consent of the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 6.01 to any Indebtedness not otherwise permitted hereunder, if the Pro Forma Total Leverage Ratio on the date of any Debt Incurrence is greater than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00, the Borrower shall on such dates prepay the Loans, and/or the Commitments shall be subject to automatic reduction, in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds thereof, such prepayment and/or reduction to be effected in each case in the manner and to the extent specified in clause (vi) of this paragraph.
     (vi) Application. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.02, prepayments and/or reductions of Commitments pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied as follows:
     first, ratably between the Classes of Term Loans and the Series of Incremental Loans (if any) in accordance with the respective sums at such time of the aggregate amount of the unused Term Loan Commitments of each Class (if any) and the unused Incremental Loan Commitments of each Series (if any) and the aggregate amount of the outstanding Term Loans of such Class (if any) and the aggregate amount of the outstanding Incremental Loans of such Series (if any), (A) with respect to Term Loans, (x) if such prepayment and/or reduction of the Term Loan Commitments is required to be made before the Term Loan Commitments of either Class have terminated, to reduce the aggregate amount of the Term Loan Commitments of such Class (and to the extent that, after giving effect to such reduction, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans of such Class would exceed the Term Loan Commitments of such Class, the Borrower shall

prepay the Term Loans of such Class in an aggregate amount equal to such excess), and (y) if such prepayment and/or reduction of the Term Loan Commitments is required to be made after the Term Loan Commitments of either Class have terminated, to prepay the Term Loans of such Class, and (B) with respect to Incremental Loans of each Series, to prepay the Incremental Loans of such Series and reduce the aggregate amount of the Incremental Loan Commitments of such Series, as specified in the agreement establishing such Series pursuant to Section 2.01(d), and
     second, after the payment in full of the Term Loans and the Incremental Loans (if any) and the termination of the Term Loan Commitments and the Incremental Loan Commitments (if any), first, to prepay Swingline Loans, and second, to prepay Revolving Credit Loans.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of any prepayment or Commitment reduction described in this paragraph there are any Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche A Term Loan Commitments outstanding, any Tranche B Term Lender may, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days before such prepayment or Commitment reduction, decline all or any portion (in a minimum amount at least equal to $1,000,000) of the prepayment or Commitment reduction, as the case may be, to which it would otherwise be entitled, in which case the portion of such prepayment or Commitment reduction, as the case may be, so declined shall be applied ratably to the prepayment of the Tranche A Term Loans and Incremental Loans, and/or to the reduction of the Tranche A Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Loan Commitments as set forth in clause first above. If any Tranche B Term Lender declines any prepayment of its Term Loans pursuant to the preceding sentence, then, notwithstanding Section 2.09(c), prepayments of the Tranche B Term Loans held by the non-declining Tranche B Term Lenders shall be applied to all outstanding Borrowings constituting such Tranche B Term Loans ratably in accordance with the amortization of such Borrowings.
          (c) Mandatory Prepayments due to Changes in Exchange Rates.
     (i) Determination of Amount Outstanding. On each Quarterly Date prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, on each date that the Borrower shall request a Revolving Credit Borrowing or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit and, in addition, promptly upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Currency Valuation Notice (as defined below), the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure. For the purpose of this determination, the outstanding face amount of any Letter of Credit that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount in the Foreign Currency of such Letter of Credit, determined as of such Quarterly Date, date of such proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing, issuance, amendment, renewal or extension or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, on such Business Day or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice otherwise received, on the first Business Day after such Currency Valuation Notice is received. Upon making such determination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Borrower thereof.

     (ii) Prepayment and Cover. If, on the date of such determination (after giving effect to any prior or substantially concurrent deposit made by the Borrower, at its option, to the Collateral Account) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments as then in effect (such excess, an “Excess”), the Borrower shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent, within five Business Days following the Borrower’s receipt of such request:
     (A) if any Revolving Credit Loans are outstanding, prepay all such Revolving Credit Loans or such portion thereof as is sufficient to eliminate the Excess, and
     (B) if such prepayment is not sufficient to eliminate the Excess, provide cover for the LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.05(k) in an amount sufficient to eliminate the Excess.
     (iii) Release of Cover. If, on the date of such determination, amount of the cover provided by the Borrower pursuant to the preceding paragraph (ii)(B) and then held by the Administrative Agent exceeds the the Excess (such excess, a “Refundable Excess”) on such date (or if such Excess is less than or equal to zero), and no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, if requested by the Borrower, within three Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such request, return to the Borrower the amount of the Refundable Excess (or, if the Excess is less than or equal to zero, the full amount of such cover).
          For purposes hereof, “Currency Valuation Notice” means a notice given by the Required Lenders of the Revolving Credit Loans or any Issuing Lender to the Administrative Agent stating that such notice is a “Currency Valuation Notice” and requesting that the Administrative Agent determine the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure.
          Any prepayment of Loans constituting Revolving Credit Exposure pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied, first, to Swingline Loans outstanding and second, to Revolving Credit Loans outstanding.
          (d) Notices, Etc. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the applicable Swingline Lender) in writing of any prepayment hereunder not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, five Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid, any other information required to be in such notice pursuant to Section 2.09(b) and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Term Loan Commitments, the Incremental Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Syndicated Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same
Credit Agreement

Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Syndicated Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.
          SECTION 2.11 Fees.
          (a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Revolving Credit Lender and each Tranche A Term Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Tranche A Term Loan Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date such Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the date the relevant Commitment terminates, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. 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 with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).
          (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for account of each Revolving Credit Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate applicable to interest on Revolving Credit Eurodollar Loans on the average daily 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 Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Lender a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the Borrower and such Issuing Lender on the average daily amount of the 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 of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including each Quarterly Date shall be payable on the third Business Day following such 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 Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Lender pursuant to this paragraph 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) Administrative Agent Fees. 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 between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
          (d) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the respective Issuing Lender, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
          SECTION 2.12 Interest(a) ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
          (b) Eurodollar Loans. The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
          (c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) all Loans shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in paragraph (a) or (b), as applicable, of this Section and (ii) all interest, fees and other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate applicable to Revolving Credit ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.
          (d) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Revolving Credit ABR Loan prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date), 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 Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
          (e) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that 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 in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          (f) Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate. If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any Swingline Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any Swingline Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.05(i), 2.11(b) or 2.12(c) or under Article VII. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall not terminate until the payment by the Borrower of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other outstanding obligations owing by it under the Loan Documents, the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and the expiration or termination of the Commitments if at such time no demand shall have been made for payment (and no amount shall have become automatically due) under this paragraph (f).
          SECTION 2.13 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing:
     (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or
     (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of the relevant Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
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 Syndicated Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Syndicated Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Syndicated Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, a Syndicated ABR Borrowing and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Syndicated ABR Borrowing.

          SECTION 2.14 Increased Costs.
          (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Lender;
     (ii) subject any Lender or any Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.16 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or such Issuing Lender); or
     (iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such Issuing Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
          (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

          (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
          (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender, 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 such Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
          SECTION 2.15 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Syndicated Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.10(c) and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(b) of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, 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 Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for Dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for determining such amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 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 2.16 Taxes.
          (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes, provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender, 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 timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
          (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
          (c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, 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 an Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
          (d) Evidence of Payments. 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) Delivery of Tax Forms. To the extent required by law to reduce or eliminate withholding or payment of taxes, each Payee shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, on or before the Effective Date or concurrently with the delivery of the relevant Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, two United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9, Forms W-8ECI or Forms W-8BEN, as applicable (or successor forms) properly completed and certifying in each case that such Payee is entitled to a complete exemption from withholding or deduction for or on account of any United States federal income taxes and backup withholding taxes. Each such Payee further agrees to deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, two Form W-9, Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable forms or manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower,
Credit Agreement


 

-59-

certifying that such Payee is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and backup withholding tax (unless in any such case a Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders such forms inapplicable or the exemption to which such forms relate unavailable and such Payee notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not entitled to receive payments without deduction or withholding of United States federal income taxes). In the case of a Payee claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, such Payee shall also deliver a certificate to the effect that such Payee is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts to any Payee under this Section 2.16 if such Payee fails to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.16(e), other than to the extent that such failure is due to a Change in Law occurring after the date on which such Payee became a party to this Agreement.
          (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. (i) If any payment is made by the Borrower to or for the account of any Payee after deduction either for or on account of any Taxes or Other Taxes, and an indemnity payment or additional amounts are paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16, then, if such Payee determines, in its sole discretion, that it is entitled to a refund of such Taxes or Other Taxes, such Payee shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund, apply for such refund and reimburse to the Borrower such amount of any refund received (net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred) as such Payee shall determine, in its sole discretion, to be attributable to the relevant Taxes or Other Taxes; and (ii) if the Administrative Agent or any Payee determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Payee, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that, in case of both (i) and (ii) the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Payee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Payee in the event the Administrative Agent or such Payee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Payee to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
          (g) Indemnity. Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or any Participant of such Lender (or, in the case of a Lender that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any direct or indirect beneficial owner of such Lender) that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded 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 any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          SECTION 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.
          (a) Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, Section 2.15 or Section 2.16, or otherwise), or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein), prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff 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 at 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Loan Document and except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Lender or a Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and payments pursuant to Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 9.03, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for 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 or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) shall be made in Dollars.
          (b) Application of Insufficient Payments. 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, to pay 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, to pay 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.

          (d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (A) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, 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 Loans and other amounts owing them, 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; and
     (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) 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 thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph 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 setoff 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.
          (e) Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. 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 account of the Lenders or an Issuing Lender 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 such Issuing Lender, 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 and each Issuing Lender severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender 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.
          (f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), Section 2.05(e), Section 2.06(b) or Section 2.17(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Lender to

-62-

satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.
          SECTION 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
          (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, 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 2.16, 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 2.14 or Section 2.16, 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) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, 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 2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by the Borrower which has been approved by the Required Lenders but which requires the consent of such Lender (or such Lender and other Lenders) to become effective, or if any Tranche B Term Lender does not consent to a proposed reduction of the Applicable Rate for Tranche B Term Loans which has been approved by the Required Lenders of the Tranche B Term Loans, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense (and without any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any Lender to cooperate or assist in any way in locating an assignee), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) or (y) in the case of any Lender that does not consent to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document as aforesaid, terminate the Commitments of such Lender and pay to such Lender an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.15), all simultaneously with an amendment and restatement of this Agreement that does not result in the aggregate amount of the commitments of the Lenders to extend credit thereunder to be less than the aggregate amount of the used and unused Commitments hereunder as in effect immediately before giving effect to such amendment and restatement, provided that:

-63-

     (i) if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing 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 and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.15) 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 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter.
In connection with any such replacement, if the replaced Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such replacement within five Business Days of the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to the replaced Lender, then such replaced Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption. 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 2.19 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
          (a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and Tranche A Term Loan Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);
          (b) the Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected or directly affected thereby;
          (c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
     (i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline
Credit Agreement


 

-64-

Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders’ Commitments;
     (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(k) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;
     (iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
     (iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and
     (v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and
          (d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.19(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.19(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
          If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Revolving Credit Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Swingline Lender or any Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Revolving Credit Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and such Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender,
Credit Agreement


 

-65-

satisfactory to such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
          In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Credit Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.
          SECTION 2.20 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that on or after the date hereof any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, and (i) the commitments of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, to continue Eurodollar Loans as such and to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended during the period of such illegality, (ii) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law and (iii) during the period of such illegality any Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be made or continued as Eurodollar Loans shall instead be made or continued, as the case may be, as ABR Loans. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.15.

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
          The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of
Credit Agreement

business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
          The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
     (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
     (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and
     (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Lender.
          The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
          The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
          The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any
Credit Agreement

actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
          Each Lender and each Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
          Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02(b) with respect to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (but not otherwise), consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents, provided that, without the prior consent of each Lender, the Administrative Agent shall not (except as provided herein or in the Security Documents) release all or substantially all of the collateral or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the Liens under any Security Document, agree to additional obligations being secured by all or substantially all of such collateral (unless the Lien for such additional obligations shall be junior to the Lien in favor of the other obligations secured by such Security Document, in which event the Administrative Agent may consent to such junior Lien provided that it obtains the consent of the Required Lenders thereto), alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the benefits of the Liens created under the Security Documents with respect to all or substantially all of such collateral or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors under the Loan Documents from their Guarantee obligations thereunder, except that no such consent shall be required, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, to release any Lien covering property (and to release any such Guarantor) that is the subject of a disposition of property permitted hereunder, a disposition to which the Required Lenders have consented or the designation of any such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 5.09(d).

          SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.
          (a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder 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 Lenders and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement 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, 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, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
          (b) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the 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 any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,
     (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 directly affected thereby,

     (vi) permit any subordination of the principal or interest on any Loan or the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(f) for all LC Disbursements, without the prior written consent of each Lender,
     (vii) release the Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender,
     (viii) permit any assignment (other than as specifically permitted or contemplated in this Agreement) of any of the Borrower’s rights and obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender,

Loan Commitment, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
     (ii) Proportionate Amounts. 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 with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations in respect of different Classes of Commitments on a non-pro rata basis.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, 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 Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be (x) entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 9.03 and (y) obligated pursuant to Section 2.16(g), in each case with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. 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 (d) of this Section.
          (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Neither the Borrower nor the Administrative Agent shall be required to make the Register available for inspection by any Lender or to provide to any Lender any information (including without limitation as to identity or amount or percentage of credit exposure hereunder) about any other Lender.
          (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) in all or a portion (provided that any such portion shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any participation in respect of a Revolving Credit Commitment, or $1,000,000, in the case of any participation in respect of a Term Loan Commitment or an Incremental Loan Commitment) of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or 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 Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and Swingline Lender 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 this Agreement and to approve any
Credit Agreement


 

-112-

amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; 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 which would reduce the principal of or the interest rate on any Loan or the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse any Borrowing, extend the term or increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan Commitment and/or Incremental Loan Commitment of such Lender, reduce the amount of any fees to which such Participant is entitled, extend any scheduled payment date for principal of any Loan or, except as expressly contemplated hereby or thereby, release substantially all of the collateral granted granted in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any such case in a manner that would affect such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(d) as though it were a Lender.
          (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 and Section 2.16 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 2.16 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 paragraphs (e) and (g) of Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender.
          (f) Certain Pledges. 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; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
          SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement 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 making of any Loans and issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender 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 Commitments have not expired or been terminated. The provisions of Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 9.03 and Article VIII 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 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

          SECTION 9.11 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 9.12 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.
          (a) Treatment of Certain Information. The Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to the Borrower or one or more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Lender and the Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or affiliate, it being understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive 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.
          (b) Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (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), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.
          For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries 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
Credit Agreement


 

-116-

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 9.13 USA PATRIOT Act. 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)), such Lender may be 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 said Act.
          SECTION 9.14 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
          SECTION 9.15. Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or any Foreign Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), and payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Loans denominated in the Specified Currency. The payment obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall not be discharged or satisfied by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in this Section 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 Second Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrower hereby, 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 Specified Currency, the amount (if any) by
Credit Agreement


 

-117-

which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the Specified Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.

by the Lease, this Mortgage shall attach to, be a Lien upon and spread to the fee title or such other estate so acquired, and such fee title or other estate shall, without further assignment, mortgage or conveyance, become and be subject to the Lien of this Mortgage.

          (h) Renewals and Extensions. Unless the exercise of any option, now existing or hereafter created, to renew or extend the term of the Lease would, in the Mortgagor’s reasonable business judgment, be inadvisable, the Mortgagor shall, at least six months, or such lesser period as may be permitted in the Lease, prior to the last day upon which the Mortgagor may validly exercise such option, (i) exercise such option in such manner as will cause the term of the Lease to be effectively renewed or extended for the period provided by such option and (ii) give immediate notice thereof to the Mortgagee, it being understood that in the event of the failure of the Mortgagor to do so, the Mortgagee shall have, and is hereby granted, the irrevocable right to exercise any such option, either in its own name and behalf, or in the name and behalf of the Mortgagor, as the Mortgagee shall in its sole discretion determine.

No sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Mortgage Estate pursuant to Section 4.02 shall be deemed to relieve the Mortgagor of its obligations under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Instrument except to the extent the proceeds thereof are applied to the payment of such obligations. Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Instruments, if the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Mortgage Estate are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Obligations, the Mortgagor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

          (b) Other Security. The Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of any of the obligations of the Mortgagor and to exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or under any Loan Instrument or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding that some or all of the Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, Lien, assignment or otherwise; neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement, whether by court action or pursuant to the power of sale or other powers herein contained, shall prejudice or in any manner affect the Mortgagee’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by the Mortgagee, it being stipulated that the Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or hereafter held by the Mortgagee in such order and manner as the Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may determine; every power or remedy given by the Credit Agreement, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Instruments to the Mortgagee, or to which the Mortgagee is otherwise entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time

The Mortgagee shall not be obligated to pursue or exhaust its rights or remedies as against any other part of the Mortgage Estate and the Mortgagor hereby waives any right or claim of right to have the Mortgagee proceed in any particular order.

If any portion of the Obligations shall for any reason not be secured by a valid and enforceable Lien upon any part of the Mortgage Estate, then any payments made in respect of the Obligations (whether voluntary or under foreclosure or other enforcement action or procedure or otherwise) shall, for purposes of this Mortgage (except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law) be deemed to be made (i) first, in respect of the portion of the Obligations not secured by the Lien of this Mortgage, (ii) second, in respect of the portion of the Obligations secured by the Lien of this Mortgage, but which Lien is on less than all of the Mortgage Estate, and (iii) last, to the portion of the Obligations secured by the Lien of this Mortgage, and which Lien is on all of the Mortgage Estate.

SCHEDULE 3.06
to

Dated as of August 4, 2010
Litigation
The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are currently involved in various actions, suits and/or proceedings. Except for the matters listed below, none of the actions, suits and/or proceedings in which the Borrower or its Subsidiaries are currently involved could, individually, as of the Closing Date, result in a Material Adverse Effect:
1. In June 2004, the Borrower received notice of a third-party claim for property damage incurred during 2002 and 2001 at several detention facilities that the Borrower’s Australian subsidiary formerly operated pursuant to its discontinued operation. The claim relates to property damage caused by detainees at the detention facilities. The notice was given by the Australian government’s insurance provider and did not specify the amount of damages being sought. In May 2005, the Borrower received additional correspondence indicating that the insurance provider still intends to pursue the claim against the Borrower’s Australian subsidiary. Although the claim is in the initial stages and the Borrower is still in the process of fully evaluating its merits, the Borrower believes that it has defenses to the allegations underlying the claim and intends to vigorously defend the Borrower’s rights with respect to this matter. While the insurance provider has not quantified its damage claim and the outcome of this matter discussed above cannot be predicted with certainty, based on information known to date, and management’s preliminary review of the claim, the Borrower believes that, if settled unfavorably, this matter could have a material adverse effect on the Borrower’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Borrower is uninsured for any damages or costs that it may incur as a result of this claim, including the expenses of defending the claim. The Borrower has accrued a reserve related to this claim based on its estimate of the most probable costs that may be incurred based on the facts and circumstances known to date, and the advice of its legal counsel.
2. During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed its examination of our U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2002 through 2005. Following the examination, the IRS notified us that it proposes to disallow a deduction that we realized during the 2005 tax year. Due to our receipt of the proposed IRS audit adjustment for the disallowed deduction, we have reassessed the probability of potential settlement outcomes with respect to the proposed adjustment, which is now under review by the IRS’s appeals division. Based on this reassessment, we have provided an additional accrual of $4.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2009. We have appealed this proposed disallowed deduction with the IRS’s appeals division and believe we have

 


 

valid defenses to the IRS’s position. However, if the disallowed deduction were to be sustained in full on appeal, it could result in a potential tax exposure to us of $15.4 million. We believe in the merits of our position and intend to defend our rights vigorously, including our rights to litigate the matter if it cannot be resolved favorably at the IRS’s appeals level. If this matter is resolved unfavorably, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
     3. We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for our U.S. income tax returns for fiscal years 2006 through 2008 and currently expect this examination to be concluded in 2010. Based on the status of the audit to date, we do not currently expect the outcome of the audit to have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operation or cash flows.
     4. On April 27, 2010, a putative stockholder class action was filed in the District Court for Harris County, Texas by Todd Shelby against Cornell, members of the Cornell board of directors, individually, and GEO. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on May 28, 2010. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that the Cornell directors, aided and abetted by Cornell and GEO, breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the merger. Among other things, the amended complaint seeks to enjoin Cornell, its directors and GEO from completing the merger and seeks a constructive trust over any benefits improperly received by the defendants as a result of their alleged wrongful conduct. The parties have reached a settlement in principle, subject to confirmatory discovery, preparation and execution of a formal stipulation of settlement, final court approval of the settlement and dismissal of the action with prejudice.
