Revolving Credit Loans of each Extended Dollar Revolving Credit Lender in
an aggregate principal amount set forth on Schedule 2.01A under the
headings Extended Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended

In the event the Dollar Revolving Credit Loans of any Extended Dollar
Revolving Credit Lender outstanding on the Fourth Amendment and

Credit Loan converting into an Extended Dollar Revolving Credit Loan of
the same Type as such original Loan (and, where applicable, having the
initial Interest Period that ends on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable to such original Loan) in the same proportion as the aggregate
principal amount set forth on Schedule 2.01A under the heading Extended
Dollar Revolving Credit Loans opposite the name of such Lender bears to
the aggregate principal amount of all the Dollar Revolving Credit Loans of
such Lender as of the Fourth Amendment and Restatement Effective Date

Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments and the Alternative

Restated Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth therein.
In the event the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans of any
Extended Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender outstanding on the
Fourth Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (immediately prior to the
consummation of such conversion), if any, shall
4
be denominated in more than one Alternative Currency or of more than one Type or, in
the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall have more than one Interest Period, such
conversion shall be accomplished by means of each such Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Loan converting into an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan
denominated in the same Alternative Currency and of the same Type as such original
Loan (and, where applicable, having the initial Interest Period that ends on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable to such original Loan) in the same
proportion as the aggregate principal amount set forth on Schedule 2.01A under the
heading Extended Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans opposite the name of
such Lender bears to the aggregate principal amount of all the Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender as of the Fourth Amendment and Restatement
Effective Date (determined immediately prior to the consummation of such
conversion).
(c) The Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments and the Dollar Revolving
Credit Loans of any Dollar Revolving Credit Lender that are not Extended
Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Dollar Revolving Credit
Loans, respectively, shall constitute Non-Extended Dollar Revolving
Credit Commitments and Non-Extended Dollar Revolving Credit Loans,
respectively, and the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments
and the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans of any Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Lender that are not Extended Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Alternative Currency

Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments and Non-Extended
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans, respectively, in each case
under the Restated Credit Agreement and shall continue to be in effect and

conditions set forth therein.
(d) None of transactions set forth in this Section 3 shall be deemed
to be a conversion of any Revolving Credit Loan into a Loan of a different
Type or with a different Interest Period or a payment or prepayment of any
Revolving Credit Loan, and the parties hereto hereby agree that no
breakage or similar costs will accrue solely as a result of the
transactions contemplated by this Section 3.
SECTION 4. [Reserved].
SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties. Holdings,
Intermediate Parent, TDS Intermediate Parent and the Borrower hereby
represent and warrant to each other party hereto that:
(a) The execution, delivery and performance by Holdings, Intermediate
Parent, TDS Intermediate Parent and the Borrower of this Amendment, and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, are within their
respective corporate or other powers, have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will
not (i) contravene the terms of any of any such Persons Organization
Documents, (ii) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of,
or the creation of any Lien under (other than as permitted by Section
7.01 of the Restated Credit Agreement), or require any payment to be made under (A)
5
any Contractual Obligation to which such Person is a party or which affects such
Person or the properties of such Person or any of its Subsidiaries, or (B) any
material order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any
arbitral award to which such Person or any of its properties is subject, or (iii)
violate any material Law; except with respect to any conflict, breach, contravention
or payment (but not creation of Liens) referred to in clause (ii)(A), to the extent
that such conflict, breach, contravention or payment could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each of
Holdings, Intermediate Parent, TDS Intermediate Parent and the Borrower,
and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each such Person,
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, fraudulent transfer,
preference or similar laws and by general principles of equity.
(c) None of the Collateral Documents in effect on the Fourth
Amendment and Restatement Effective Date will be rendered invalid,
non-binding or unenforceable against any Loan Party party thereto as a
result of this Amendment. The Guarantees created under such Collateral
Documents will continue to guarantee the Obligations (as the Obligations
are modified hereunder) to the same extent as they guaranteed the
Obligations immediately prior to the Fourth Amendment and Restatement
Effective Date. Except as set forth on Schedule 5A hereto, (i) the Liens
created under such Collateral Documents will continue to secure the
Obligations (as the Obligations are modified hereunder), and will continue
to be perfected, in each case, to the same extent as they secured the
Obligations or were perfected immediately prior to the Fourth Amendment
and Restatement Effective Date, and (ii) no further document, instrument
or agreement, or any recording, filing, re-recording or re-filing of any
such Collateral Document or any notice of a Lien created thereby, is
required, as a result of this Amendment in order to maintain the
effectiveness, perfection and priority of such Liens or to maintain the
validity, binding effect or enforceability of such Guarantees.
(d) The representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other
Loan Party contained in Article V of the Restated Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on and
as of the Fourth Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (in each case,
except to the extent that any representation or warranty specifically
refers to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty
is true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date);
provided that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to
materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar language is true and
correct in all respects on such respective dates.
(e) After giving effect to the Restated Credit Agreement, no Default
has occurred and is continuing.

Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different
circumstances.

Documents, the Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, and certain obligations
related thereto, as the case may be, to be secured on a second priority
basis with the Obligations (or, to the extent permitted by the definition

Obligations), in each case without any further consent, authorization or
other action by any L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any Lender, (ii)

Intercreditor agreement, any such intercreditor agreement or any such
document, as the case may be.

GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK.
(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER THIS AMENDMENT OR IN
ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE

Dollar Amount shall be made in accordance with Section 2.15.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining
compliance with Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 7.03 with respect to any
amount of Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than
Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a
result of changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time
such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred; provided that, for the
avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.08
shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including with respect to
determining whether any Indebtedness or Investment may be incurred
at any time under such Sections.
(b) For purposes of determining compliance under Sections 7.02,
7.05, 7.06, 7.12 and 7.13, any amount in a currency other than
Dollars will be converted to Dollars based on the average Exchange
Rate for such currency for the most recent twelve-month period
immediately prior to the date of determination determined in a
manner consistent with that used in calculating EBITDA for the
applicable period. For purposes of determining compliance with
Section 7.11, the Borrower shall determine the Dollar Amount of each
Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency after taking into
account any net obligations under any Swap Contract relating to such
Loan.

the amount of such Lenders Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that
after giving effect to any Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowing, the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Dollar Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such
Lenders Pro Rata Share (determined on the basis of the aggregate amount of its
Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Dollar

77
such Lenders Pro Rata Share (determined on the basis of the aggregate amount of

(d) Credit-Linked Deposits and Tranche S Term Loans.
(i) Each Original Post-First Amendment and Restatement
Synthetic L/C Lender and each New Post-First Amendment and
Restatement Synthetic L/C Lender has remitted to the
Administrative Agent prior to the Third Amendment and
Restatement Effective Date an amount in Dollars equal to
such Lenders Original Post-First Amendment and Restatement
Synthetic L/C Commitment or such Lenders New Post-First
Amendment and Restatement Synthetic L/C Commitment, as
applicable, in each case as its Credit-Linked
78
Deposit. The Administrative Agent deposited all such amounts received by
it into the Credit-Linked Deposit Account.
(ii) On the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective
Date, pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) of the Third Amendment and
Restatement Agreement, a portion of each Extended Synthetic
L/C Lenders Existing Credit-Linked Deposit equal to its
Extended Synthetic L/C Commitment was withdrawn from the
Credit-Linked Deposit Account and applied to fund such
Lenders Tranche S Term Loan, and the proceeds of the Tranche
S Term Loans were deposited in the Tranche S Collateral
Account. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Tranche
S Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Tranche S Term Loans may
be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further
provided herein.
(iii) Each Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lender irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees that its Credit-Linked Deposit shall be available (A) to pay to the Synthetic
L/C Issuer such Lenders Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Pro Rata Share Amount in respect
of any Unreimbursed Amount under any Synthetic L/C Letter of Credit that is not
reimbursed by the Borrower and (B) to fund such Lenders Non-Extended Synthetic L/C
Loans, in each case, pursuant to Section 2.03(c). Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Loans may
be prepaid without reducing the Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Commitments.
(iv) No Person (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have the right to make
any withdrawal from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account or to exercise any other right
or power with respect thereto. Each Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lender agrees that its
right, title and interest in and to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account shall be limited
to the right to require its Credit-Linked Deposit to be applied as provided in Section
2.03(c) and that it will have no right to require the return of its Credit-Linked
Deposit other than as expressly provided in Section 2.06. Each Non-Extended Synthetic
L/C Lender hereby acknowledges that (i) its Credit-Linked Deposit constitutes payment
for its participations in Synthetic L/C Letters of Credit issued, deemed issued or to
be issued hereunder, (ii) its Credit-Linked Deposit and any investments made therewith
shall secure its obligations to the Synthetic L/C Issuer hereunder (and each
Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Synthetic L/C Issuer, a security interest in its Credit-Linked Deposit
and all of its rights in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account to secure its obligations
under Section 2.01(d) and agrees that the Administrative Agent, as holder of the
Credit-Linked Deposits and any investments made therewith, will be acting as
collateral agent for the Synthetic L/C Issuer) and (iii) the Synthetic L/C Issuer will
be issuing, amending, renewing and extending Synthetic L/C Letters of Credit in
reliance on the availability of such Lenders Credit-Linked Deposit to discharge such
Lenders obligations in connection with any Unreimbursed Amount in respect thereof in
accordance with Section 2.03(c). The Synthetic L/C Issuer hereby appoints the
Administrative Agent as its collateral agent for the purpose of holding the
Credit-Linked Deposits, any investments made therewith and the Credit-Linked Deposit
Account. The Administrative Agent hereby grants a
79
security interest to the Synthetic L/C Issuer in all of its rights, title
and interest to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account. The funding of the
Credit-Linked Deposits and the agreements with respect thereto set forth
in this Agreement constitute arrangements among the Administrative Agent,
the Synthetic L/C Issuer and the Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lenders with
respect to the funding obligations of such Lenders under this Agreement,
and the Credit-Linked Deposits do not constitute assets of, or loans or
extensions of credit to, any Loan Party. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the
Credit-Linked Deposits are and at all times will continue to be property
of the Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lenders, and that no amount on deposit
at any time in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account shall be the property of
any Loan Party, constitute Collateral under the Loan Documents or
otherwise be available in any manner to satisfy any Obligations of any
Loan Party under the Loan Documents.
(v) No Person (other than the Synthetic L/C Issuer)
shall have the right to make any withdrawal from the Tranche
S Collateral Account or to exercise any other right or power
with respect thereto. Each party hereto hereby consents to
the terms and performance of the Tranche S Collateral
Account Agreement.
(vi) Each Lender hereby acknowledges that (A) pursuant
to the Tranche S Collateral Account Agreement the Borrower
has granted to the Synthetic L/C Issuer a first priority
perfected Lien on the Tranche S Collateral Account, the
funds credited thereto and the proceeds thereof to secure
the Borrowers obligations in respect of the Synthetic L/C
Letters of Credit, which Lien inures to the sole benefit of
the Synthetic L/C Issuer in its capacity as the Synthetic
L/C Issuer (and not in its capacities as the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent), (B) no Lien created under
the Collateral Documents on the Tranche S Collateral
Account, the funds credited thereto or the proceeds thereof
will be perfected as a result of the Tranche S Collateral
Account Agreement or any agreements of the Borrower set
forth therein and (C) any Liens created under the Collateral
Documents on the Tranche S Collateral Account, the funds
credited thereto or the proceeds thereof that are
unperfected are effectively subordinated to the Lien thereon
for the benefit of the Synthetic L/C Issuer created under
the Tranche S Collateral Account Agreement to the extent
such Lien is perfected.
SECTION 2.02.Borrowings, Conversions and
Continuations of Loans.
(a) Each Term Borrowing, each Revolving Credit Borrowing, each
conversion of Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or Non-Extended
Synthetic L/C Loans from one Type to the other, and each
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the
Borrowers irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which
may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York, New York
time or London, England time in the case of any Borrowing
denominated in an Alternative Currency) (i) three (3) Business
80
Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency
Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to
Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii) four (4) Business Days prior
to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans
denominated in an Alternative Currency, and (iii) one (1) Business Day before the
requested date of any Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. Each
telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be
confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed
Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans shall be in a principal amount of (x) $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of
$500,000 in excess thereof in the case of Tranche B Dollar Term Loans and Tranche
S Term Loans, (y) 2,500,000 or a whole multiple of 500,000 in excess thereof in
the case of Euro Term Loans or Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans
denominated in Euros or (z) £2,500,000 or a whole multiple of £500,000 in excess
thereof in the case of Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans denominated in
Sterling. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of
or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a
whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether
telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a
Term Borrowing, a Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowing, an Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Borrowing, a conversion of Tranche B Dollar Term Loans, Tranche
S Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Loans from one
Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the
requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be
(which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount and Class of Loans to
be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the currency in which the Loans to be
borrowed are to be denominated, (v) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which
existing Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Loans
are to be converted, and (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period
with respect thereto. If with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars the
Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or fails to
give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable
Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Loans shall be
made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base
Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in
effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Borrower
requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period
(or fails to give a timely notice requesting a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency), it will be deemed to have
specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. If no currency is specified, the
requested Borrowing shall be in Dollars.
(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the
amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Borrowing, and if no
timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the
details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or
continuation described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each
Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its
Loan
81
available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative
Agents Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case
of any Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than 1:00 p.m. (London time),
in the case of any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, in each case on
the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.03, the
Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower
in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the
account of the Borrower on the books of UBS AG, Stamford Branch with the amount
of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance
with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative
Agent by the Borrower; provided that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice
with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are Swing Line
Loans or Revolving L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such
Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such Revolving
L/C Borrowings, second, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans, and
third, to the Borrower as provided above. The provisions of this paragraph shall
not apply to (i) Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Loans, which shall be made and
applied as set forth in Section 2.03(c), (ii) Revolving Credit Loans deemed
requested and made as set forth in Section 2.03(c) or 2.04(c) or (iii) Tranche S
Term Loans, which were made pursuant to Section 4(a) of the Third Amendment and
Restatement Agreement.
(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate
Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an
Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless the Borrower
pays the amount due, if any, under Section
3.05 in connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require that no Loans may be
converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any
Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of
such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by
the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding,
the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders
of any change in the UBS AG, Stamford Branch prime rate used in
determining the Base Rate promptly following the public
announcement of such change.
(e) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all Revolving
Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans, Revolving Credit
Loans or Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Loans from one Type to the
other, and all continuations of Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans
or Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Loans as the same Type, there shall
not be more than fifteen (15) Interest Periods in effect.
(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by
it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of
its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of
such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the
82
failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on
the date of any Borrowing.
(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender
will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lenders
portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may, with the
Borrowers consent, assume that such Lender has made such portion
available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing
in accordance with paragraph (b) above, and the Administrative
Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative
Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that
such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the
Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the Borrower
severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date such amount is made available to the
Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative
Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate
applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and
(ii) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A
certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender
with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.02(g) shall
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lenders
portion of such Borrowing is not made available to the
Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days
after the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall
also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon
accruing from the date on which the Administrative Agent made the
funds available to the Borrower at the rate per annum applicable to
ABR Loans under the relevant Facility (except in the case of any
Euro Term Loans, in which case such amount shall bear interest at
the rate applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Loans under the relevant
Facility), on demand, from the Borrower. If such Lender shall repay
to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount
shall constitute such Lenders Loan as part of such Borrowing for
purposes of this Agreement, and the Borrowers obligation to repay
the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this
Section 2.02(g) shall cease.
SECTION 2.03. Letters of Credit.
(a) The Letter of Credit Commitments.
(i) On and after the Original Closing Date, the Existing
Letters of Credit will constitute Letters of Credit under
this Agreement and for purposes hereof will be deemed to have
been issued on the Original Closing Date or the Worldspan
Closing Date, as applicable.
(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, (A)(1) each Dollar Revolving L/C Issuer agrees, in
reliance upon the agreements of the other Dollar Revolving

until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date applicable to Dollar Revolving
Letters of Credit, to issue Dollar Revolving Letters of Credit for the
account of the Borrower (provided that any Dollar Revolving Letter of
Credit may be for the benefit of any Subsidiary of the Borrower) and to
amend or renew Dollar Revolving Letters of Credit previously issued by it,
in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (y) to honor drafts under the
Dollar Revolving Letters of Credit and (2) the Dollar Revolving Credit
Lenders severally agree to participate in Dollar Revolving Letters of
Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.03, (B)(1) each Alternative
Currency Revolving L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of
the other Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this
Section 2.03, (x) from time to time on any Business Day during the period
from the Original Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date
applicable to Alternative Currency Revolving Letters of Credit, to issue
Alternative Currency Revolving Letters of Credit denominated in an
Alternative Currency for the account of the Borrower (provided that any
Alternative Currency Revolving Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of
any Subsidiary of the Borrower) and to amend or renew Alternative Currency
Revolving Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with
Section 2.03(b), and (y) to honor drafts under the Alternative Currency
Revolving Letters of Credit and (2) the Alternative Currency Revolving
Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Alternative Currency
Revolving Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.03 and

Amendment and Restatement Effective Date until the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date applicable to Letters of Credit issued under the Synthetic
L/C Facilities, to issue Synthetic L/C Letters of Credit for the account
of the Borrower (provided that any Synthetic L/C Letter of Credit may be
for the benefit of any Subsidiary) and to amend or renew Synthetic L/C
Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section
2.03(b), and (y) to honor drafts under the Synthetic L/C Letters of Credit
and (2) the Synthetic L/C Lenders severally agree to participate in
Synthetic L/C Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.03;
provided that no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit
Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be
obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit, if as of the date of
such L/C Credit Extension (and after giving effect to such L/C Credit
Extension) (I) in the case of the Revolving Letters of Credit, (v) the
Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lenders
Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment, (w) the Alternative Currency Revolving
Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lenders Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Commitment, (x) the Outstanding Amount of the
Dollar Revolving L/C Obligations would exceed the Dollar Revolving Letter
of Credit Sublimit, (y) in the case of any Dollar Revolving Letter of
Credit with an expiry date extending beyond the day that is five (5)

Non-Extended Dollar Revolving Credit Facility (or, if such day is not a
Business Day, the next preceding Business Day) (such day, the Dollar
Revolving
84

maximum amount thereof (after giving effect to any prior permanent
reductions thereof)) of the Dollar Revolving Letters of Credit expiring
after such Dollar Revolving Exposure Readjustment Date plus the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Swing Line Loans and Extended Dollar
Revolving Credit Loans would exceed the Aggregate Extended Dollar
Revolving Credit Commitments at such time or (z) in the case of any
Alternative Currency Revolving Letter of Credit with an expiry date
extending beyond the day that is five (5) Business Days prior to the
scheduled Maturity Date then in effect for the Non-Extended Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Facility (or, if such day is not a Business Day,
the next preceding Business Day) (such day, the Alternative Currency
Revolving Exposure Readjustment Date), the aggregate face amount
(determined as the maximum amount thereof (after giving effect to any
prior permanent reductions thereof)) of the Alternative Currency Revolving
Letters of Credit expiring after such Alternative Currency Revolving
Exposure Readjustment Date plus the Dollar Amount of Extended Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Loans would exceed the Aggregate Extended
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments at such time or (II) in
the case of the Synthetic L/C Letters of Credit, (x) the Synthetic L/C
Obligations would exceed the sum of the aggregate amount of the
Credit-Linked Deposits and the Tranche S Collateral Account Amount and (y)
in the case of any Synthetic L/C Letter of Credit with an expiry date
extending beyond the day that is five (5) Business Days prior to the
scheduled Maturity Date then in effect for any Synthetic L/C Facility (or,
if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day) (such
day, the Synthetic L/C Exposure Readjustment Date), the aggregate face
amount (determined as the maximum amount thereof (after giving effect to
any prior permanent reductions thereof)) of the Synthetic L/C Letters of
Credit expiring after such Synthetic L/C Exposure Readjustment Date would
exceed the Aggregate Synthetic L/C Commitments that are scheduled to
remain in effect after such scheduled Maturity Date. Within the foregoing
limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers
ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and
accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters
of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been
drawn upon and reimbursed. If the Borrower shall fail to specify whether
any requested Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars is to be a Revolving
Letter of Credit or a Synthetic L/C Letter of Credit, then the requested
Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be requested as a Synthetic L/C Letter
of Credit unless the issuance thereof would not be permitted by the
foregoing provisions of this paragraph, in which case it shall be deemed
to be requested as a Revolving Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding any such
specification or deemed specification, the Borrower may request in writing
that a Letter of Credit issued under any Facility be deemed to be issued
under any other Facility (and such redesignation shall become effective on
the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of such written request,
which shall be a Business Day) so long as at the time of the
Administrative Agents receipt of such request, the issuance of such a
Letter of Credit would be permitted under such Facility by the foregoing
85
provisions of this paragraph. All Synthetic L/C Letters of Credit will be
denominated in Dollars.
(iii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to
issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A) any order, judgment or decree of any
Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its
terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer
from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law
applicable to such L/C Issuer or any directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any
Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such
L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or direct that such L/C
Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of
credit generally or such Letter of Credit in
particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with
respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction,
reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C
Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in
effect on the Original Closing Date, or shall impose
upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or
expense which was not applicable on the Original
Closing Date (for which such L/C Issuer is not
otherwise compensated hereunder);
(B) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry
date of such requested Letter of Credit (other than
the Letters of Credit listed on Schedule
2.03(a)(iii)(B)) would occur more than twelve months
after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless
the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date;
(C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of
Credit would occur after the applicable Letter of
Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders of the
applicable Class or Classes shall have approved such
expiry date; or
(D) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would
violate any Laws binding upon such L/C Issuer.
(iv) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to
amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have
no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in
its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the
proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of
Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit.
(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended,
as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower
delivered to an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit
Application, appropriately completed and signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit
Application must be received by the relevant L/C Issuer and
86
the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. at least two (2)
Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as
the case may be, or, in each case, such later date and time as the
relevant L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole
discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter
of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and
detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer: (a) the
proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a
Business Day); (b) the amount thereof; (c) the expiry date thereof; (d)
the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (e) the documents to be
presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (f) the
full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case
of any drawing thereunder; (g) the currency in which the requested Letter
of Credit will be denominated, (h) in the case of any Letter of Credit
denominated in Dollars, whether such Letter of Credit is to be a Revolving
Letter of Credit or a Synthetic L/C Letter of Credit (which designation
shall be made in accordance with this Agreement); and (i) such other
matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of
a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such
Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably
satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be
amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a
Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such
other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request.
(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit
Application, the relevant L/C Issuer will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of
Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C
Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy
thereof. Upon receipt by the relevant L/C Issuer of
confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested
issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the
terms hereof, subject to the terms and conditions hereof such
L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of
Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the
applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon
the issuance of (x) each Dollar Revolving Letter of Credit,
each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire
from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such
Dollar Revolving Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the
product of such Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders Pro Rata
Share (determined on the basis of the aggregate amount of its
Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the
Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments) times the
amount of such Dollar Revolving Letter of Credit, (y) each
Alternative Currency Revolving Letter of Credit, each
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed
to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
acquire from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in
such Alternative Currency Revolving Letter of Credit in an
amount equal to the product of such Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Lenders Pro Rata Share (determined on the
basis of the aggregate amount of its Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the
87
Aggregate Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments) times the
amount of such Alternative Currency Revolving Letter of Credit and (z)
each Synthetic L/C Letter of Credit, each Synthetic L/C Lender shall be
deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire
from the Synthetic L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Synthetic L/C
Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Synthetic L/C
Lenders Pro Rata Share (determined on the basis of the aggregate amount
of its Synthetic L/C Commitments as a percentage of the Aggregate
Synthetic L/C Commitments) times the amount of such Synthetic L/C Letter
of Credit.
(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable
Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer shall
agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal
provisions (each, an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit);
provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must
permit the relevant L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at
least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the
date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior
notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the
Nonrenewal Notice Date) in each such twelve-month period to
be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.
Unless otherwise directed by the relevant L/C Issuer, the
Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to
the relevant L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an
Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable
Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not
require) the relevant L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of
such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later
than the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date;
provided that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not permit any
such renewal if (A) the relevant L/C Issuer has determined
that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such
Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof
(by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii) or
2.03(a)(iii), or otherwise) or (B) the relevant L/C Issuer
has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing)
on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before
the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any
Revolving Credit Lender or any Synthetic L/C Lender, as
applicable, or the Borrower that one or more of the
applicable conditions specified in Section 4.03 is not then
satisfied.
(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit
or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank
with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the
relevant L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter
of Credit or amendment.
(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of
Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall notify promptly the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than
11:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately following the date
of any
88
payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an
Honor Date), the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the
Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If
the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the
Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars
in the Dollar Amount thereof in the case of an Alternative Currency) (the
Unreimbursed Amount), and the amount of such Appropriate Lenders Pro
Rata Share thereof (determined, (x) in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount
under a Synthetic L/C Letter of Credit, on the basis of the aggregate
amount of its Synthetic L/C Commitments as a percentage of the Aggregate
Synthetic L/C Commitments, (y) in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount under
a Dollar Revolving Letter of Credit, on the basis of the aggregate amount
of its Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate
Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments and (z) in the case of an Unreimbursed
Amount under an Alternative Currency Revolving Letter of Credit, on the
basis of the aggregate amount of its Alternative Credit Revolving Credit
Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Alternative Credit Revolving
Credit Commitments). In such event, (x) in the case of an Unreimbursed
Amount under a Dollar Revolving Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be
deemed to have requested a Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans, (y) in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount under an Alternative
Currency Revolving Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
requested an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Borrowing of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (z) in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount
under a Synthetic L/C Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to
have requested from the Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lenders a Non-Extended
Synthetic L/C Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans as described in clause
(viii) below, in each case to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount
equal to the Unreimbursed Amount (less, in the case of an Unreimbursed
Amount under a Synthetic L/C Letter of Credit, the aggregate amount
directed to be withdrawn from the Tranche S Collateral Account on account
thereof pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(viii)(B)), without regard to the
minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount
of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans, but subject, in each case,
to the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (other than the delivery of a
Committed Loan Notice and any condition that would not be satisfied solely
as a result of the failure by the Borrower to reimburse such Unreimbursed
Amount in accordance with this paragraph) and provided that (A) in the
case of any such request for a Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowing, after
giving effect thereto, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Dollar
Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lenders Pro Rata Share
(determined on the basis of the aggregate amount of its Dollar Revolving
Credit Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit
Commitments) of the Outstanding Amount of all Dollar Revolving L/C
Obligations, plus such Lenders Pro Rata Share (determined on the basis of
the aggregate amount of its Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment as a
percentage of the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments) of the
Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lenders
89
Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment, (B) in the case of any such request
for an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Borrowing, after giving
effect thereto, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lenders Pro Rata
Share (determined on the basis of the aggregate amount of its Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments) of the Outstanding
Amount of all Alternative Currency Revolving L/C Obligations shall not
exceed such Lenders Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitment and
(C) in the case of any such request for a Non-Extended Synthetic L/C
Borrowing, after giving effect thereto, the Non-Extended Synthetic L/C
Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lenders Non-Extended
Synthetic L/C Commitment. Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by
telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of
such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or
binding effect of such notice.
(ii) Each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender (including any
such Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall, upon any notice
pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i), make funds available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant
Revolving L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agents Office for
payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (determined
on the basis of the aggregate amount of its Dollar Revolving
Credit Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Dollar
Revolving Credit Commitments) of any Unreimbursed Amount in
respect of a Dollar Revolving Letter of Credit not later than
1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the
Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender
that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a
Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the
relevant Revolving L/C Issuer. Each Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Lender (including any such Lender acting as
an L/C Issuer) shall, upon any notice pursuant to Section
2.03(c)(i), make funds available to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the relevant Revolving L/C Issuer at the
Administrative Agents Office for payments in an amount equal
to its Pro Rata Share (determined on the basis of the
aggregate amount of its Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Commitments) of any Unreimbursed
Amount in respect of an Alternative Currency Revolving Letter
of Credit not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day
specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent,
whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii),
each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender that so
makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base
Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative
Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant
Revolving L/C Issuer.
(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount in respect
of a Dollar Revolving Letter of Credit that is not fully
refinanced by a Dollar
90
Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the applicable
conditions set forth in Section 4.03 cannot be satisfied or for any other
reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant
Revolving L/C Issuer a Dollar Revolving L/C Borrowing in the amount of the
Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which Dollar Revolving L/C
Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and
shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Dollar
Revolving Credit Lenders payment to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the relevant Revolving L/C Issuer pursuant to Section
2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in
such Dollar Revolving L/C Borrowing and shall constitute a Dollar
Revolving L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
participation obligation under this Section 2.03. With respect to any
Unreimbursed Amount in respect of an Alternative Currency Revolving Letter
of Credit that is not fully refinanced by an Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the applicable
conditions set forth in Section 4.03 cannot be satisfied or for any other
reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant
Revolving L/C Issuer an Alternative Currency Revolving L/C Borrowing in
the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which
Alternative Currency Revolving L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on
demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default
Rate. In such event, each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders
payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant
Revolving L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed
payment in respect of its participation in such Alternative Currency
Revolving L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an Alternative Currency
Revolving L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
participation obligation under this Section
2.03.
(iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its
Revolving Credit Loan or Revolving L/C Advance pursuant to
this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the relevant Revolving L/C
Issuer for any amount drawn under any Revolving Letter of
Credit, interest in respect of such Lenders Pro Rata Share
(determined, in the case of any Lender, on the basis of the
aggregate amount of its Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment as
a percentage of the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit
Commitments or on the basis of the aggregate amount of its
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitment as a
percentage of the Aggregate Alternative Currency Revolving
Credit Commitments, as the case may be) of such amount shall
be solely for the account of the relevant Revolving L/C
Issuer.
(v) Each Revolving Credit Lenders obligation to make
Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving L/C Advances to reimburse
a Revolving L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of
Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have
against the relevant Revolving L/C Issuer, the Borrower or
any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the
occurrence or continuance of
91
a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Credit
Lenders obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.03
(other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice and any
condition that would not be satisfied solely as a result of the failure by
the Borrower to reimburse the applicable Unreimbursed Amount in accordance
with Section 2.03(c)(i)). No such making of a Revolving L/C Advance shall
relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse
the relevant Revolving L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by
such Revolving L/C Issuer under any Revolving Letter of Credit, together
with interest as provided herein.
(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
relevant Revolving L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid
by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii),
such Revolving L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from
such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on
demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from
the date such payment is required to the date on which such
payment is immediately available to such Revolving L/C Issuer
at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate
from time to time in effect. A certificate of the relevant
Revolving L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any
amounts owing under this Section
2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(vii) If, at any time after a Revolving L/C Issuer has
made a payment under any Revolving Letter of Credit and has
received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lenders
Revolving L/C Advance in respect of such payment in
accordance with this Section 2.03(c), the Administrative
Agent receives for the account of such Revolving L/C Issuer
any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or
interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or
otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied
thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative
Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share
thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest
payments, to reflect the period of time during which such
Lenders Revolving L/C Advance was outstanding and any
differential in the interest payable to such Lender
attributable to the Applicable Rate for such Lenders
Revolving L/C Advance as an Extended Revolving Credit Lender
or a Non-Extended Revolving Credit Lender, as applicable) in
the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
(viii) If the Synthetic L/C Issuer shall not have
received from the Borrower the payment required to be made by
Section 2.03(c)(i) with respect to any Synthetic L/C Letter
of Credit within the time specified in such Section, the
Synthetic L/C Issuer will promptly notify the Administrative
Agent of the Unreimbursed Amount. In each such event:
92
(A) the Administrative Agent will promptly notify
each Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lender of such
Unreimbursed Amount and of such Lenders Non-Extended
Synthetic L/C Pro Rata Share Amount with respect
thereto, and each Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lender
hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent
to reimburse the Synthetic L/C Issuer, from such
Lenders Credit-Linked Deposit, in an amount equal to
such Lenders Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Pro Rata
Share Amount, and the Administrative Agent will
promptly pay to the Synthetic L/C Issuer such amount,
which payment shall reduce such Lenders Credit-Linked
Deposit in a like amount. Upon any such payment, each
Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lender shall be deemed to
have made a Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Loan in an
amount equal to its Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Pro
Rata Share Amount, which Non-Extended Synthetic L/C
Loans shall initially be Eurocurrency Rate Loans
having Interest Periods set forth in clause (ix)
below; provided, however, that if the conditions
precedent to borrowing set forth in Section 4.03 have
not been satisfied (other than delivery of a Committed
Loan Notice or any condition that is not satisfied
solely as a result of the failure by the Borrower to
reimburse the applicable Unreimbursed Amount in
accordance with Section 2.03(c)(i)), then payment of
such Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Pro Rata Share Amount
shall not be deemed to constitute Non-Extended
Synthetic L/C Loans and shall not relieve the Borrower
of its obligation to reimburse such Unreimbursed
Amount; and
(B) the Borrower hereby authorizes and directs
the Synthetic L/C Issuer to withdraw from the Tranche
S Collateral Account in respect of each Extended
Synthetic L/C Lenders participation in such
Unreimbursed Amount an amount equal to such Lenders
Extended Synthetic L/C Pro Rata Share Amount, which
amount shall solely be utilized to reimburse the
Synthetic L/C Issuer for the applicable portion of
such Unreimbursed Amount. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly upon request advise the Synthetic L/C
Issuer of the aggregate amount of any such permitted
withdrawal, and the Synthetic L/C Issuer shall
promptly advise the Administrative Agent of the amount
of any such reimbursement it shall effect with the
proceeds of any such withdrawal.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the funding obligation of each Non-Extended
Synthetic L/C Lender in respect of its participation in Synthetic L/C Letters of Credit shall have
been satisfied in full upon the funding of its Credit-Linked Deposit and (y) the funding obligation
of each Extended Synthetic L/C Lender in respect of its participation in Synthetic L/C Letters of
Credit shall have been satisfied in full upon the funding of its Tranche S Term Loan. Any amounts
received by the Administrative Agent thereafter pursuant to Section 2.03(c) in respect of an
Unreimbursed Amount under a Synthetic L/C Letter of Credit will be promptly remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, for the ratable account of the
Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lenders, and the Tranche S Collateral Account (such remittance to
93
be allocated between the Credit-Linked Deposit Account and the Tranche S
Collateral Account ratably) (it being understood that, thereafter, such
amounts will be available to reimburse the Synthetic L/C Issuer in
accordance with this Section 2.03).
(ix) On each date on which the Administrative Agent
charges the Credit-Linked Deposit Account to reimburse an
Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Synthetic L/C Letter of
Credit as provided in Section 2.03(c)(viii), (A) if such
amount is deemed to constitute Non-Extended Synthetic L/C
Loans, the Borrower shall have the right either to reimburse
such amount or to allow such amount to remain outstanding as
Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Loans with an initial Interest
Period coincident with the then-applicable Interest Periods
for the Credit-Linked Deposits, subject to subsequent
conversion in accordance with Section 2.02, and (B) if such
amount is not deemed to constitute Non-Extended Synthetic L/C
Loans, then such amount shall be deemed to be payment in
respect of the Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lenders
participations in such Unreimbursed Amount and such
Unreimbursed Amount (to the extent of such participations)
shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest)
and shall bear interest at the Default Rate (which rate shall
be determined by reference to the Applicable Rate that would
have been applicable to the Non-Extended Synthetic L/C
Loans), with such interest accruing for the account of the
Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lenders that shall have been
deemed to have made such payment. For the avoidance of doubt,
no interest shall accrue and be payable to Extended Synthetic
L/C Lenders in respect of the portion of any Unreimbursed
Amount that is allocable to the Extended Synthetic L/C
Lenders and funded with funds withdrawn from the Tranche S
Collateral Account, other than the interest payable in
respect of the Tranche S Term Loans.
(x) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent
for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section
2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the
circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant
to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its
discretion), (A) in the case of a Revolving Letter of Credit,
each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Revolving L/C Issuer its Pro
Rata Share (determined, in the case of any Lender, on the
basis of the aggregate amount of its Dollar Revolving Credit
Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Dollar Revolving
Credit Commitments or on the basis of the aggregate amount of
its Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitment as a
percentage of the Aggregate Alternative Currency Revolving
Credit Commitments, as the case may be) thereof on demand of
the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date
of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such
Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight
Rate from time to time in effect and (B) in the case of a
Synthetic L/C Letter of Credit, (1) each Non-Extended
Synthetic L/C Lender hereby authorizes and directs the
Administrative Agent to reimburse the Synthetic L/C Issuer,
from such Lenders Credit-Linked Deposits, in an amount equal
to such Lenders Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Percentage of its
Pro Rata Share (determined on the basis
94
of the aggregate amount of its Synthetic L/C Commitments as a percentage
of the Aggregate Synthetic L/C Commitments) of such returned amount and
(2) the Borrower hereby authorizes the Synthetic L/C Issuer to reimburse
itself from the Tranche S Collateral Account in an amount equal to each
Extended Synthetic L/C Lenders Extended Synthetic L/C Percentage of its
Pro Rata Share (determined on the basis of the aggregate amount of its
Synthetic L/C Commitments as a percentage of the Aggregate Synthetic L/C
Commitments) of such returned amount, in each case plus interest thereon
from the date of such return to the date such amount is so reimbursed, at
a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for Eurocurrency Rate
Loans denominated in Dollars.
(d) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to
reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for each drawing under each
Letter of Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall
be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such
Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or
instrument relating thereto;
(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff,
defense or other right that any Loan Party may have at any
time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such
Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such
beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the
relevant L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any
agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated
transaction;
(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document
presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any
document required in order to make a drawing under such
Letter of Credit;
(iv) any payment by the relevant L/C Issuer under such
Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or
certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of
such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the relevant
L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person
purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy,
debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor
to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of
Credit, including any arising in connection with any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;
(v) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any
Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or
consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other
guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of any Loan
Party in respect of such Letter of Credit; or
95
(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party;
provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the
extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are
waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower that
are caused by such L/C Issuers gross negligence or willful misconduct when determining whether
drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.
(e) Role of L/C Issuers. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under
a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any
document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter
of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the
authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, any
Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C
Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at
the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any
action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due
execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any
Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts
or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit;
provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers pursuing
such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any
other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective
correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any
of the matters described in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 2.03(e); provided that anything in
such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer,
and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any
direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the
Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuers willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C
Issuers willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the
presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with
the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the
foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary,
and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument
transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or
benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or
ineffective for any reason.
(f) Cash Collateral. (i) If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, require
the
96
Borrower to Cash Collateralize the Revolving L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 8.02(c) or (ii) an
Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) or (g) occurs and is continuing, then the Borrower
shall Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all Revolving L/C Obligations (in an amount
equal to 105% of such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such Event of Default), and
shall do so not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (x) in the case of the immediately
preceding clause (i), (1) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice thereof, if such
notice is received on such day prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, or (2) if clause (1) above
does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day on which the Borrower receives such
notice and (y) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (ii), the Business Day on which an
Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) or (g) occurs or, if such day is not a Business
Day, the Business Day immediately succeeding such day. For purposes hereof, Cash Collateralize
means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
relevant Revolving L/C Issuer and the Revolving Credit Lenders, as collateral for the Revolving L/C
Obligations, cash or deposit account balances (Cash Collateral) pursuant to documentation in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Revolving L/C
Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Revolving Credit Lenders). Derivatives of
such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for
the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Lenders, a security interest in all such cash,
deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall
be maintained in blocked accounts at UBS AG, Stamford Branch and may be invested in readily
available Cash Equivalents. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held
as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative
Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) or that the total amount of such funds is less than 105%
of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Revolving L/C Obligations, the Borrower will, forthwith
upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be
deposited and held in the deposit accounts at UBS AG, Stamford Branch as aforesaid, an amount equal
to the excess of (a) 105% of such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (b) the total amount of funds,
if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be free
and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Revolving Letter of Credit for which
funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under
applicable Law, to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer. To the extent the amount of any Cash
Collateral exceeds 105% of the then Outstanding Amount of such Revolving L/C Obligations and so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the
Borrower. If such Event of Default is cured or waived and no other Event of Default is then
occurring and continuing, the amount of any Cash Collateral shall be refunded to the Borrower.
(g) Letter of Credit Fees.
(i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Non-Extended Dollar Revolving Credit Lender and each Extended Dollar Revolving Credit
Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the Non-Extended Dollar Revolving
Credit Commitments and the Extended
97
Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments, respectively, a Letter of Credit fee for each Dollar
Revolving Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal to the Applicable Rate in
respect of such respective Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments times the Allocable Revolving Share
of the Non-Extended Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders and the Extended Dollar Revolving Credit
Lenders, as the case may be, of the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such
Dollar Revolving Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such
Dollar Revolving Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the
terms of such Dollar Revolving Letter of Credit). Such letter of credit fees shall be computed on
a quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on
the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with
the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Dollar Revolving Letter of Credit, on the
Maturity Date for the Non-Extended Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments (with respect to the fees
accrued for the accounts of the Non-Extended Revolving Credit Lenders), on the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date relating to Dollar Revolving Letters of Credit and thereafter on demand. If there
is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Dollar
Revolving Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for
each period in such quarter during which such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Non-Extended
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender and each Extended Alternative Currency Revolving
Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the Non-Extended Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Commitments and the Extended Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments,
respectively, a Letter of Credit fee for each Alternative Currency Revolving Letter of Credit
issued pursuant to this Agreement equal to the Applicable Rate in respect of such respective
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments times the Allocable Revolving Share of the
Non-Extended Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders and the Extended Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, of the daily maximum amount then available to be
drawn under such Alternative Currency Revolving Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum
amount is then in effect under such Alternative Currency Revolving Letter of Credit if such maximum
amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Alternative Currency Revolving Letter
of Credit). Such letter of credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such
letter of credit fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the first Business Day after the end
of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the
issuance of such Alternative Currency Revolving Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date for the
Non-Extended Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments (with respect to the fees accrued
for the accounts of the Non-Extended Revolving Credit Lenders), on the Letter of Credit Expiration
Date relating to Alternative Currency Revolving Letters of Credit and thereafter on demand. If
there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum
amount of each
98
Alternative Currency Revolving Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the
Applicable Rate separately for each period in such quarter during which such Applicable
Rate was in effect.
(h) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Borrower
shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each
Revolving Letter of Credit issued by it equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily maximum amount then
available to be drawn under such Revolving Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is
then in effect under such Revolving Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically
pursuant to the terms of such Revolving Letter of Credit). Such fronting fees shall be computed on
a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day
after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to
occur after the issuance of such Revolving Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration
Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for
its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and
other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to
time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within ten
(10) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable. The Borrower shall also pay to the L/C Issuers
such other fees as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the applicable L/C Issuer in respect of
Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer.
(i) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary
in any Letter of Credit Application, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the
terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.
(j) Addition of a Revolving L/C Issuer.
(i) A Dollar Revolving Credit Lender may become an additional Dollar Revolving L/C
Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and such Dollar Revolving Credit Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the
Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders of any such additional Dollar Revolving L/C Issuer.
(ii) An Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender may become an additional
Alternative Currency Revolving L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Lenders of any such additional Alternative Currency Revolving L/C Issuer.
(k) Credit-Linked Deposit Account.
(i) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Synthetic L/C Issuer and each Non-Extended
Synthetic L/C Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that
99
(x) each Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lender or its predecessor in interest has funded its
Credit-Linked Deposit to the Administrative Agent for application in the manner
contemplated by Section 2.03(c)(viii) and (y) the Administrative Agent may invest the
Credit-Linked Deposits in such investments as may be determined from time to time by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to pay to each Non-Extended
Synthetic L/C Lender, on each Interest Payment Date for the Credit-Linked Deposits,
interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360
days) on the amount of such Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lenders Pro Rata Share (determined
on the basis of its Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate
Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Commitments) of the aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked
Deposits during such Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate
for such Interest Period less the Credit-Linked Deposit Cost Amount. With respect to any
Interest Period during which a Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Loan is deemed made, the
Administrative Agent shall determine the amount of interest payable by the Borrower on
such Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Loan for the portion of such Interest Period during which
such Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Loan is outstanding and the amount of interest payable by
the Administrative Agent on the Credit-Linked Deposits during such Interest Period
pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, and such determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
(ii) None of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall have any right, title or
interest in or to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account or the Credit-Linked Deposits or
obligations with respect thereto other than as expressly provided in this Agreement.
Without limiting the foregoing, the obligation to return the Credit-Linked Deposits to the
Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lenders is solely an obligation of the Administrative Agent, and
none of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall have any liability or obligation in
respect of the principal amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits.
(l) Synthetic L/C Facilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Letters of Credit
under the Synthetic L/C Facilities shall only be issued by the Synthetic L/C Issuer.
SECTION 2.04. Swing Line Loans.
(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line
Lender agrees to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a Swing Line Loan) to the Borrower from
time to time on any Business Day until the Maturity Date applicable to the Extended Dollar
Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount
of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated
with the Pro Rata Share (determined on the basis of the aggregate amount of its Dollar Revolving
Credit Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments) of the
Outstanding Amount of Dollar Revolving Credit Loans and Dollar Revolving L/C Obligations of the
Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such
100
Lenders Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that, after giving effect to any Swing Line
Loan, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Dollar Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender,
plus such Lenders Pro Rata Share (determined on the basis of the aggregate amount of its
Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit
Commitments) of the Outstanding Amount of all Dollar Revolving L/C Obligations, plus such
Lenders Pro Rata Share (determined on the basis of the aggregate amount of its Dollar Revolving
Credit Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments) of the
Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lenders Dollar Revolving Credit
Commitment then in effect; provided further that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any
Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and
subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04,
prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a
Base Rate Loan. Swing Line Loans shall only be denominated in Dollars. Immediately upon the making
of a Swing Line Loan, each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation
in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lenders Pro Rata Share
(determined on the basis of the aggregate amount of its Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment as a
percentage of the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments) times the amount of such Swing
Line Loan.
(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrowers
irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent
not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be
borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000 (and any amount in excess of $100,000 shall be an
integral multiple of $25,000), and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business
Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender
and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender
of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received
such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative
Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has
received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the
request of any Dollar Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed
Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a
result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a),
or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.03 is not then
satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later
than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of
its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.
101
(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on
behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on
its behalf), that each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender make a Dollar Revolving Credit Loan that is a
Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lenders Pro Rata Share (determined on the basis of the
aggregate amount of its Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Dollar
Revolving Credit Commitments) of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request
shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for
purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the
minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to
the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 and provided that after giving effect thereto, the
aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Dollar Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such
Lenders Pro Rata Share (determined on the basis of the aggregate amount of its Dollar Revolving
Credit Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments) of the
Outstanding Amount of all Dollar Revolving L/C Obligations, plus such Lenders Pro Rata
Share (determined on the basis of the aggregate amount of its Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment as
a percentage of the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments) of the Outstanding Amount of all
Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lenders Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment. The Swing Line
Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly
after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall
make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share (determined on the basis of the aggregate amount of its
Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit
Commitments) of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative
Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agents
Office for Dollar denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such
Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Dollar Revolving Credit
Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Dollar Revolving Credit Loan
that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the
funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.
(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Dollar Revolving
Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted
by the Swing Line Lender as set forth therein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line
Lender that each of the Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant
Swing Line Loan and each Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders payment to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in
respect of such participation.
102
(iii) If any Dollar Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section
2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the
Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date
such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing
Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.
A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent)
with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
(iv) Each Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders obligation to make Dollar Revolving Credit Loans or
to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall
be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the
Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence
or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders obligation to
make Dollar Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions
set forth in Section 4.03. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair
the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided
herein.
(d) Repayment of Participations.
(i) At any time after any Dollar Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk
participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of
such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share
(determined on the basis of the aggregate amount of its Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment as a
percentage of the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments) of such payment (appropriately
adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such
Lenders risk participation was funded and any differential in the interest payable to such Lender
attributable to the Applicable Rate for such Lenders risk participation as an Extended Dollar
Revolving Credit Lender or a Non-Extended Dollar Revolving Credit Lender, as the case may be) in
the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.
(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on
any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the
circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the
Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall pay
to the Swing Line
103
Lender its Pro Rata Share (determined on the basis of the aggregate amount of its Dollar
Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit
Commitments and appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments to reflect any
differential in the interest payable to such Lender attributable to the Applicable Rate
for such Lenders risk participation as an Extended Revolving Credit Lender or a
Non-Extended Revolving Credit Lender, as the case may be) thereof on demand of the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such
amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The
Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.
(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for
invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Dollar Revolving Credit
Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance
such Lenders Pro Rata Share (determined on the basis of the aggregate amount of its Dollar
Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments)
of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share (determined on the basis of the
aggregate amount of its Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Dollar
Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.
(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal
and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.
SECTION 2.05. Prepayments.
(a) Optional.
(i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from
time to time voluntarily prepay Term Loans of any Class, Revolving Credit Loans of any
Class and Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty;
provided that (A) no prepayment of the Extended Tranche B Dollar Term Loans shall be made

104
like amount and (2) the Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Commitments are reduced at least ratably and (F)
prepayments of Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Loans shall comply with clause (v) below; provided
further that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m.

denominated in Dollars, (B) four (4) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency
Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency and (C) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate

$2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof in the case of Tranche B Dollar Term
Loans, (y) 2,500,000 or a whole multiple of 500,000 in excess thereof in the case of Euro Term
Loans or Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Euros or (z) £2,500,000 or a

Loans denominated in Sterling; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal
amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the
entire principal amount thereof then outstanding (it being understood that Base Rate Loans shall be
denominated in Dollars only). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment
and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify
each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lenders Pro
Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make
such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the
date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all
accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
Each prepayment of principal of, and interest on, Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans shall
be made in the relevant Alternative Currency (even if the Borrower is required to convert currency
to do so). Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be paid to the
Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
(ii) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part
without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender
and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (2) any
such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000
in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such
notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the
Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice
shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. All Swing Line Loans shall be denominated
in Dollars only.
105
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) or 2.05(a)(ii) if
such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Facilities, which
refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.
(iv) Each voluntary prepayment of Term Loans of any Class pursuant to this Section
2.05(a) shall be applied to repayments thereof required pursuant to Section 2.07 as
directed by the Borrower.
(v) Voluntary prepayments of Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Loans made other than in
connection with a corresponding reduction of the Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Commitments
shall be made to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly remit the same to the
Credit-Linked Deposit Account for the ratable account of the Non-Extended Synthetic L/C
Lenders (it being understood that, thereafter, such amounts will be available to reimburse
the Synthetic L/C Issuer in accordance with Section 2.03); provided that no such
prepayment and remittance to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account may be made unless the
Borrower shall simultaneously make a ratable deposit in the Tranche S Collateral Account.
(b) Mandatory. The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall not apply to the Tranche S Term
Loans, and each reference in this paragraph (b) to Term Loans shall accordingly be deemed to
exclude the Tranche S Term Loans.
(i) Within five (5) Business Days after financial statements have been delivered
pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered
pursuant to Section 6.02(b), the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate Dollar
Amount of Term Loans equal to (A) 100% (such percentage as it may be reduced as described
below, the ECF Percentage) of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the fiscal year covered by
such financial statements (commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007)
minus (B) the sum of (i) all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans during such fiscal
year and (ii) all voluntary prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans during such fiscal year
to the extent the Revolving Credit Commitments are voluntarily permanently reduced by the
amount of such payments, in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and
(ii), to the extent such prepayments are not funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness;
provided that (x) if the First Lien Leverage Ratio for any fiscal year ended after the
Fourth Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and on or prior to December 31, 2013, is
less than 3.60:1, the ECF Percentage for such fiscal year shall be 50%, (y) if the First
Lien Leverage Ratio for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, is less than 3.45:1, the
ECF Percentage for such fiscal year shall be 50% and (z) if the First Lien Leverage Ratio
for any fiscal year ended after December 31, 2014, is less than 3.25:1, the ECF Percentage
for such fiscal year shall be 50%; provided further that if the Minimum Cash as of the end
of such fiscal year after giving pro forma effect to such prepayment of Term Loans
would be less than the Minimum Amount on
106
such date, the amount of prepayments required pursuant to this sentence shall be reduced such that
after giving pro forma effect to such prepayment of Term Loans, the Minimum Cash as of the end of
such fiscal year would be equal to the Minimum Amount on such date (except for any difference in a
de minimis amount to the extent necessary because of minimum repayment or repurchase amounts or
similar requirements). In the event that the ECF Percentage for any fiscal year is 50%, within five
(5) Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and
the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(b), the Borrower
shall (1) cause to be prepaid an aggregate Dollar Amount of Term Loans and/or (2) prepay, retire,
redeem, purchase, defease or otherwise satisfy Senior Notes and/or 2016 Senior Notes from (other
than in the case of ratable redemptions) Persons other than 5% Shareholders at prices no greater
than par plus any redemption premium and accrued and unpaid interest, in an aggregate amount equal
to (A) 50% of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for such fiscal year minus, to the extent not
deducted from the application of Excess Cash Flow in the immediately preceding sentence, (B) the
sum of (i) all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans during such fiscal year and (ii) all voluntary
prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans during such fiscal year to the extent the Revolving Credit
Commitments are voluntarily permanently reduced by the amount of such payments, in the case of each
of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent such prepayments are not funded
with the proceeds of Indebtedness; provided that if the Minimum Cash as of the end of such fiscal

(y) if the Borrower enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash
Proceeds within fifteen (15) months following receipt thereof, within one hundred and
eighty (180) days of the date of such legally binding commitment; provided that (i) so
long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower (x) shall

continuing) and (y) shall not be required to apply such Net Cash Proceeds which have been
previously applied to prepay Revolving Credit Loans to the prepayment of Term Loans until
such time as the relevant investment period has expired and no Event of Default is
continuing and (ii) if any Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so
reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, an amount
equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five (5) Business Days after
the Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to
be or cannot be so reinvested to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this
Section 2.05(b).

aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect (including as a result of the
termination of the Non-Extended Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments on the Maturity Date thereof),
the Borrower shall promptly (and, in the case of an excess caused
by the

in direct order of maturity to repayments thereof required pursuant to Section 2.07; and each such
prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares subject
to clause (vi) of this Section 2.05(b). Prior to the Maturity Date with respect to the Non-Extended
Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments, each prepayment of Dollar Revolving Credit Loans and Swing
Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be allocated among the Extended Dollar Revolving
Credit Lenders and the Non-Extended Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders on a ratable basis and within
each such Class of Lenders on a ratable basis. From and after the Maturity Date with respect to the

least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify
the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such
prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each
Appropriate Lender of the contents of the Borrowers prepayment notice and of such Appropriate
Lenders Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. Each Appropriate Lender may reject all or
a portion of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory
110
prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this
Section 2.05(b) by providing written notice (each, a Rejection Notice) to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business
Day after the date of such Lenders receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent
regarding such prepayment; provided that any Rejection Notice may be rejected by the
Borrower by 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day of its receipt and shall thereupon become
ineffective. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount
of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender fails
to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified
above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to
be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such
mandatory repayment of Term Loans. In the event a Lender rejects all or any portion of its
Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required pursuant to clauses (i)
through (iii) of this Section 2.05(b), the rejected portion of such Lenders Pro Rata
Share of such prepayment shall be retained by the Borrower.
(vii) Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of
Section 2.05(b) (other than clause (b)(iv)), so long as no Event of Default shall have

deposit the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder into a
Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the
Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or
from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such
Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05(b). Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized
(without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party)
to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with this
Section 2.05(b).

the greater of the Aggregate Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Commitments and the aggregate
amount of the Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Exposures.
(ii) Concurrently with any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Non-Extended
Synthetic L/C Commitments to zero pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 2.06 or

Synthetic L/C Issuer shall release to the Borrower from the Tranche S Collateral Account
funds in an amount equal to the amount of such reduction, but only to the extent that,

applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due
interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be
due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and
after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
(d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in the currency in which each Loan was made.
SECTION 2.09. Fees. In addition to
certain fees
described in Sections 2.03(g) and (h):
(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of (i)
each Non-Extended Dollar Revolving Credit Lender and each Extended Dollar Revolving Credit Lender
in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the Non-Extended Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments and
the Extended Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments, respectively, a commitment fee equal to the
Applicable Rate with respect to commitment fees in respect of such Non-Extended Dollar Revolving
Credit Commitments or Extended Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, times the
Allocable Revolving Share of the Non-Extended Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders or the Extended
Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, of the actual daily amount by which the
aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments exceed the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of
Dollar Revolving Credit Loans and (B) the Outstanding Amount of Dollar Revolving L/C Obligations;
provided that any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Dollar Revolving Commitments of
a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and
unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a
Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and
payable by the Borrower prior to such time; provided further that no commitment fee shall accrue on
any of the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall
be a Defaulting Lender and (ii) each Non-Extended Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender and
each Extended Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of
the Non-Extended Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments and the Extended Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Commitments, respectively, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate
with respect to commitment fees in respect of such Non-Extended Alternative Currency Revolving
Credit Commitments or Extended Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may
be, times the Allocable Revolving Share of the Non-Extended Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Lenders or the Extended Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, of the
actual daily amount by which the aggregate Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments
exceed the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of Alternative
118
Currency Revolving Credit Loans and (B) the Outstanding Amount of Alternative Currency Revolving
L/C Obligations; provided that any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Alternative
Currency Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such
Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so
long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee
shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; provided further
that no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The
commitment fees shall accrue at all times from the Original Closing Date until the Maturity Date
for the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, including at any time during which one or more of
the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the
last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date
to occur after the Original Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date for the Non-Extended Revolving
Credit Commitments (with respect to commitment fees accrued for the accounts of the Non-Extended
Revolving Credit Lenders) and the Maturity Date for the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. The
commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the
Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by
the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was
in effect.
(b) Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lender a facility fee equal to (i) the sum of (A) the Applicable Rate
with respect to Non-Extended Synthetic L/C facility fees and (B) the Credit-Linked Deposit Cost
Amount for the applicable period times (ii) the amount of such Lenders Credit-Linked Deposit. The
facility fee shall accrue at all times from the First Amendment and Restatement Effective Date
until the Maturity Date for the Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Facility, including at any time during
which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable on each
Interest Payment Date with respect to Credit-Linked Deposits, and on any date on which any
Credit-Linked Deposit is terminated and the funds therein returned to the Non-Extended Synthetic
L/C Lenders.
(c) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately
agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully
earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed
between the Borrower and the applicable Agent).
SECTION 2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations
of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by UBS AG,
Stamford Branchs prime rate and for Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Loans denominated in Sterling shall be made on the basis of a year of three
hundred and sixty-five (365) days and actual days elapsed. All other
computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred
and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on
each Loan for
119
the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any
portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid;
provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made
shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.11. Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or
records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained
by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section
5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The
accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie
evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the
Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so
shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any
amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in
respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent,
the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note
payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lenders Loans in addition to such accounts or
records. Any such Note evidencing a Revolving Credit Loan prior to the Fourth Amendment and
Restatement Effective Date may be exchanged, upon the request of the relevant Revolving Credit
Lender through the Administrative Agent and the surrender to the Administrative Agent of such
existing Note, for Notes that the Borrower will execute and deliver through the Administrative
Agent, evidencing the Extended Revolving Credit Loans and Non-Extended Revolving Credit Loans into
which such Revolving Credit Loan was converted on the Fourth Amendment and Restatement Effective
Date. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if
applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and
the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records
and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and
sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of
any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the
accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to
Sections 2.11(a) and (b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts
120
pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the
Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect,
in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of
the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 2.12. Payments Generally.
(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for
any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
payments by the Borrower hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in
an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agents Office
in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (London time) on the
dates specified herein. If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any
required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in
Dollars in the Dollar Amount of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent
will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided
herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lenders Lending Office.
All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in
Dollars, or (ii) after 2:00 p.m. (London time) in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency,
shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable
interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
(b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business
Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be
reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension
would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the next
succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
(c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the
date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the
Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent
may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and
may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount
to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the
Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then:
(i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on
demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such
121
assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with
interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made
available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to
the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to
time in effect; and
(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand
pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with
interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the
Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the
Administrative Agent (the Compensation Period) at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to
the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment
amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in
respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lenders Loan included in the
applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the
Administrative Agents demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor
upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent,
together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the
rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights
which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of
any default by such Lender hereunder.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing
under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by
such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made
available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable
Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms
hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such
Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund the Credit-Linked Deposits
and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The
failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund a Credit-Linked Deposit or to fund any such
participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its
corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure
of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to fund its Credit-Linked Deposit or purchase its
participation.
(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any
Loan or Credit-Linked Deposit in any particular place or manner or to
122
constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any
Loan or Credit-Linked Deposit in any particular place or manner.
(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.04. If the
Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or
in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify
the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such
Lenders Pro Rata Share of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such
time and (b) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (without duplication of the Tranche S
Term Loans) outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans
or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.
SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly
provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made
by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by
it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any
right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share
contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such
participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the
participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case
may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the
excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may
be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such
excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of
the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such
purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to
the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount
equal to such paying Lenders ratable share (according to the proportion of (i)
the amount of such paying Lenders required repayment to (ii) the total amount
so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid
or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so
recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any
Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment
(including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect
123
to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of
the Borrower in the amount of such
participation. The
Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding
in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this
Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such
purchases or repayments. Each Lender that
purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after
such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions
and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of
the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender
were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.
SECTION 2.14. [Intentionally Omitted].
SECTION 2.15. Currency Equivalents.
(a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Amount of each Loan denominated in an
Alternative Currency and each L/C Obligation in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in an
Alternative Currency (i) in the case of any Euro Term Loan, as of the Original Closing Date and
(ii) otherwise, (A) as of the first day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) as of
the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of each Dollar Amount so determined by it. Each such determination shall be based on the
Exchange Rate (x) on the date of the related Borrowing Request for purposes of the initial such
determination for any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency and (y) on the fourth Business
Day prior to the date as of which such Dollar Amount is to be determined, for purposes of any
subsequent determination.
(b) If after giving effect to any such determination of a Dollar Amount, the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans and the Alternative Currency
Revolving L/C Obligations exceeds the aggregate Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments
then in effect by 5% or more, the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of
notice thereof from the Administrative Agent setting forth such calculation in reasonable detail,
prepay or cause to be prepaid outstanding Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans or take other
action (including, in the Borrowers discretion, cash collateralization of Alternative Currency
Revolving L/C Obligations in amounts from time to time equal to such excess) to the extent
necessary to eliminate any such excess. Prior to the Maturity Date with respect to the Non-Extended
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments, each prepayment of Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Loans or other action taken pursuant to this Section 2.15(b) shall be allocated
among the Extended Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders and the Non-Extended Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Lenders on a ratable basis and within each such Class of Lenders on a
ratable basis. From and after the Maturity Date with respect to the Non-Extended Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Commitments, each prepayment of Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Loans or other action taken pursuant to this Section 2.15(b)
124
shall be allocated among the Extended Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders on a
ratable basis.
SECTION 2.16. 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) if any Swing Line Obligations or Revolving L/C Obligations exist at
the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then the Borrower shall within one
(1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay
such Defaulting Lenders Pro Rata Share of the Swing Line Obligations and (y)
second, Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Lenders Pro Rata Share of the
Revolving L/C Obligations in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section
2.03(f) (with references therein to the Outstanding Amount of all Revolving L/C
Obligations, or similar terms, being deemed to refer instead to the Outstanding
Amount of such Defaulting Lenders Pro Rata Share of all Revolving L/C
Obligations) for so long as such Revolving L/C Obligations are outstanding; and
(b) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall
not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and no Revolving L/C Issuer shall be
required to issue, amend or increase any Revolving Letter of Credit, unless it
is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered (or in the case of
Cash Collateralization, 105% covered) as set forth in clause (a) above and as
the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and any Revolving L/C Issuer may
otherwise reasonably require. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting
Lender under this Section 2.16 are in addition to other rights and remedies that
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Revolving L/C Issuer, the Swing
Line Lender and the non-Defaulting Lenders may have against such Defaulting
Lender.
SECTION 2.17. Revolving Credit Loan Modification Offers. (a) The
Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time,
make one or more offers (each, a Revolving Credit Loan Modification Offer) to
all the Revolving Credit Lenders of one or more Classes (each Class subject to
such a Loan Modification Offer, an Affected Revolving Credit Class) to make
one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by
the Revolving Credit Loan Modification Offer Arranger and reasonably acceptable
to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the
requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted
Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10
Business Days nor more than 30 Business Days after the date of such notice,
unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent). Permitted Amendments
shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the
Lenders of the Affected Revolving Credit Class that
accept the
125
applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the Accepting Revolving
Credit Lenders) and, in the case of any Accepting Revolving Credit Lender,
only with respect to such Lenders Loans and Commitments of such Affected
Revolving Credit Class as to which such Lenders acceptance has been made.
(b) The Borrower and each Accepting Revolving Credit Lender shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent a Revolving Credit Loan Modification Agreement and such other documentation as
the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Credit Loan Modification Offer Arranger shall reasonably
specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions
thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each
Revolving Credit Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon
the effectiveness of any Revolving Credit Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be
deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms
of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of
the Accepting Revolving Credit Lenders of the Affected Revolving Credit Class, including any
amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Revolving
Credit Lenders as a new Class of loans and/or commitments hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent, to the
extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Credit Loan Modification
Offer Arranger, shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions, officers and secretarys
certificates and other documentation consistent with those delivered on the Original Closing Date
under Section 4.01 of the Original Credit Agreement.
(c) Permitted Amendments means any or all of the following: (i) an extension of the Maturity
Date applicable to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Revolving Credit
Lenders, (ii) an increase or decrease in the Applicable Rate with respect to the applicable Loans
and/or Commitments of the Accepting Revolving Credit Lenders, (iii) the inclusion of additional
fees to be payable to the Accepting Revolving Credit Lenders, (iv) such amendments to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, in the judgment of the Revolving
Credit Loan Modification Offer Arranger or the Administrative Agent, to provide the rights and
benefits of this Agreement and other Loan Documents to each new Class of loans and/or commitments
resulting therefrom, provided that (A) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to
any then-existing or subsequently issued or made Revolving Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan as
between the commitments of such new Class and the remaining Commitments of the related Affected
Revolving Credit Class shall be made on a ratable basis as between the commitments of such new
Class and the remaining Commitments of the related Affected Revolving Credit Class and (B) the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date and the Maturity Date applicable to the Revolving Letters of
Credit issued by any Revolving L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Loans made by the Swing Line Lender may
not be extended without the prior written consent of such Revolving L/C Issuer or the Swing Line
Lender, as applicable, and (v) such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as shall be necessary or
126
appropriate, in the judgment of the Revolving Credit Loan Modification Offer Arranger or the
Administrative Agent or as otherwise may be agreed upon by the parties to such Permitted
Amendment, to obtain or give effect to the foregoing Permitted Amendments (it being agreed that
the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive customary agency fees for acting in such
capacity for any period after the Latest Maturity Date in effect immediately prior to the
effectiveness of any such Permitted Amendment (with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
agreeing to negotiate in good faith the amount of such fees) and that no such Permitted Amendment
may affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable, to the Administrative
Agent without the prior written consent thereto of the Administrative Agent).
ARTICLE III
Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality
SECTION 3.01. Taxes.
(a) Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments by the Borrower (the term
Borrower under Article III being deemed to include any Subsidiary for whose account a Letter of
Credit is issued) or any Guarantor to or for the account of any Agent or any Lender under any Loan
Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future
taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and
all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto,
excluding, in the case of each Agent and each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net
income (including branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed on it in lieu of net
income taxes, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which
such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or maintains a Lending Office, and all
liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto (all such
non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar
charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as Taxes). If the Borrower shall be
required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under
any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (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 3.01), each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such
deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days
after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30)
days, as soon as possible thereafter), the Borrower shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the
case may be) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent
such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes
when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to any Agent or any Lender the
required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall
127
indemnify such Agent and such Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties
that may become payable by such Agent or such Lender arising out of such failure.
(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or
documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or
charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the
execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to,
any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as Other Taxes).
(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of
Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction
on amounts payable and paid under this Section 3.01) payable by such Agent and such Lender and (ii)
any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that such Agent or
Lender, as the case may be, provides the Borrower with a written statement thereof setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts. Payment under this Section 3.01(c)
shall be made within ten (10) days after the date such Lender or such Agent makes a demand
therefor.
(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify each Agent for any taxes (including any taxes that
are excluded from the definition of Taxes pursuant to this Section 3.01, but, in the case of any
Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified such Agent for such Taxes
and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender that are
paid or payable by such Agent in connection with this Agreement and any liability (including
additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority; provided that such Agent provides the Lender with a written statement
thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts. Payment
under this Section 3.01(d) shall be made within ten (10) days after the date such Agent makes a
demand therefor.
(e) The Borrower shall not be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay any additional
amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, to the extent that such
Lender or such Agent becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Original Closing Date (or, if
later, the date such Lender or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of a change in
the place of organization of such Lender or Agent or a change in the Lending Office of such
Lender, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required in writing by the
Borrower (provided that nothing in this clause (d) shall be construed as relieving the Borrower
from any obligation to make such payments or indemnification in the event of a change in Lending
Office or place of organization that precedes a change in Law to the extent such Taxes result from
a change in Law).
128
(f) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if a Foreign Lender or an Agent is
subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate in excess of zero percent at the time such Lender
or such Agent, as the case may be, first becomes a party to this Agreement, U.S. federal
withholding tax imposed by such jurisdiction at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes
unless and until such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, provides the appropriate forms
certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon U.S. federal withholding tax at such lesser rate
only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms; provided that, if
at the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which a Foreign Lender becomes a party to
this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under clause (a) of this Section 3.01
in respect of U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to
such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to U.S. federal withholding taxes that may
be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) U.S. federal withholding
tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. A Lender that is entitled
to an exemption from or reduction of Bermuda withholding tax shall deliver to the Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and as
reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed
by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate;
provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation
and in such Lenders reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not
materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender or be otherwise materially disadvantageous
to such Lender; provided further that the Borrower, shall reimburse such Lender for any material
out-of-pocket costs that are incurred by the Lender with respect to providing any such
documentation.
(g) If any Lender or Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund
in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been
paid to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund (but
only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under
this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund plus any
interest included in such refund by the relevant taxing authority attributable thereto) to the
Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such
refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be,
agrees promptly to return such refund to such party in the event such party is required to repay
such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall, at
the Borrowers request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other
evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority
(provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or Agent
deems confidential). Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent
to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim
any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax
affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Agent to do anything that
129
would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or
repayments to which it may be entitled.
(h) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of
Section 3.01(a) or (c) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use
commercially reasonable efforts (subject to such Lenders overall internal policies of general
application and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate another Lending Office for any
Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms
that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer
no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided further that nothing in this Section
3.01(h) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such
Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or (c).
SECTION 3.02. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has
made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is
unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or
fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based
upon the Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the
Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make
or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to
Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall
upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay
or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base
Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such
Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such
day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower
shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all
amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under
Section 3.05. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such
designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith
judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
SECTION 3.03. Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders
determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect
to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Credit-Linked Deposit, or that the
Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Credit-Linked Deposit does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such
130
Loan or Credit-Linked Deposits, or that Dollar deposits are not being offered to
banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and
the Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Credit-Linked Deposit, the
Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.
Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate
Loans or Credit-Linked Deposits shall be suspended until the Administrative
Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or,
failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and the
Credit-Linked Deposits shall be invested so as to earn a return equal to the
greater of the applicable Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.
SECTION 3.04. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital
Adequacy; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(a) If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in
the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the Original Closing Date, or such Lenders
compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or
making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans, maintaining any Credit-Linked Deposit or
issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable
by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section
3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes
indemnifiable pursuant to Section 3.01, (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income
(including branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes,
by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such
Lender is organized or maintains a Lending Office, (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by
Section 3.04(c) or (iv) the requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services
Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost, other than as set forth
below) or the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, does not represent the cost to such Lender
of complying with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority
or the European Central Bank in relation to its making, funding or maintaining of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans, then from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in
reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent
given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional
amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction or, if applicable, the
portion of such cost that is not represented by the Mandatory Cost.
131
(b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or
any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the Original Closing Date,
or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate
of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence
of such Lenders obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to
capital adequacy and such Lenders desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand
of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced
rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with
Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such reduction within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such demand.
(c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to
maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency
funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate
Loan or Credit-Linked Deposit equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan or
Credit-Linked Deposit by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which
determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such
Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of
any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance
of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Credit-Linked Deposit, such
additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the
nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan or
Credit-Linked Deposit by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and
payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan or Credit-Linked Deposit, provided
that the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days prior notice (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to
give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest
or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lenders right to demand such compensation; provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b) or
(c) for any such increased cost or reduction incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days
prior to the date that such Lender demands, or notifies the Borrower of its intention to demand,
compensation therefor; provided further that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased
cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(e) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if
requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office
for any Loan, Credit-Linked Deposit Account or Letter
132
of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no
material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided further that nothing in this Section
3.04(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such
Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b), (c) or (d).
SECTION 3.05. Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly
compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or
expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a) (i) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base
Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a
Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or
in the amount notified by the Borrower;
including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it
to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were
obtained.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section
3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the
Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank
eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such
Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded. In addition, the Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent against any loss or expense comparable to the losses or expenses covered by
the preceding sentences of this Section 3.05 that the Administrative Agent may sustain or incur as
a consequence of any withdrawal from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement prior to the end of the then-applicable Interest Period for the Credit-Linked
Deposits.
SECTION 3.06. Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.
(a) Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a
certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it
hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount,
such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
(b) With respect to any Lenders claim for compensation under Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or
3.04, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more
than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the
133
date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided
that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any
Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to
such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to
make or continue from one Interest Period to another Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to convert Base
Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request
ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable);
provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation
so requested.
(c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another
any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be
suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lenders Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be
automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest
Period(s) for such Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by
Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives
notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04
hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:
(i) to the extent that such Lenders Eurocurrency Rate Loans have been so converted,
all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lenders
Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to
another by such Lender as Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as
Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted
into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
(d) If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that
the circumstances specified in Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the
conversion of such Lenders Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist
(which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when
Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lenders Base Rate Loans shall
be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such
outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto,
all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata
(as to principal amounts, interest rate basis and Interest Periods) in accordance with their
respective Commitments.
134
SECTION 3.07. Replacement of Lenders under Certain
Circumstances.
(a) If at any time (i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity
payments described in Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections
or any Lender ceases to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in
Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender
becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, on ten (10) Business Days prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to
(and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment
fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any
Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person;
and provided further that (A) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) in the case of any
such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible
Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents.
(b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver
an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lenders Commitment and outstanding Loans,
Credit-Linked Deposits and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, and (ii)
deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent. Pursuant to such
Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may
be, of the assigning Lenders Commitments and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C
Obligations and Swing Line Loans, (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning
Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee
Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption and (C) upon such
payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee Lender of the
appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender
hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to
such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification
provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, (i) any Lender that acts as an
L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has any Letter of Credit outstanding
hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (including the furnishing
of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer reasonably
satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account
in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer) have been made
with respect to each such outstanding Letter of Credit and (ii) the Lender that acts as the
Administrative
135
Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of
Section 9.09.
(d) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the
Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any
amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all
affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with respect to
a certain Class of the Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or
amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed
a Non-Consenting Lender.
SECTION 3.08. Survival. All of the
Borrowers
obligations under this Article 3 shall survive termination of the Aggregate
Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, fraudulent transfer, preference or similar
laws and by general principles of equity.
SECTION 5.05. Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Effect.
138
(a) (i) The Audited Financial Statements and the Unaudited Financial Statements fairly
present in all material respects the financial condition of Holdings and its Subsidiaries or
Worldspan and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, as of the dates thereof and their results of
operations for the period covered thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout
the periods covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein. During the period from
December 31, 2005 to and including the Worldspan Closing Date, there has been (i) no sale,
transfer or other disposition by Worldspan or any of its Subsidiaries of any material part of the
business or property of Worldspan or any of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and (ii) no
purchase or other acquisition by Worldspan or any of its Subsidiaries of any business or property
(including any Equity Interests of any other Person) material in relation to the consolidated
financial condition of Worldspan and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in each case, which is
not reflected in the foregoing financial statements or in the notes thereto or has not otherwise
been disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent prior to the Worldspan Closing Date.
(ii) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2006 (including the notes thereto) (the Original Closing Date
Pro Forma Balance Sheet) and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations
of Holdings and its Subsidiaries for the most recent fiscal year then ended, the quarter
ended March 31, 2006 and the 12-month period ending on March 31, 2006 (together with the
Original Closing Date Pro Forma Balance Sheet, the Original Closing Date Pro Forma
Financial Statements), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the
Administrative Agent, have been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on
such date or at the beginning of such periods, as the case may be) to the Original Closing
Date Transactions, each material acquisition by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries
consummated after March 31, 2006 and prior to the Original Closing Date and all other
material transactions that would be required to be given pro forma effect by Regulation S-X
promulgated under the Exchange Act (including other adjustments consistent with the
definition of Pro Forma Adjustment or as otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the
Arrangers). The Original Closing Date Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared in
good faith, based on assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable as of the date
of delivery thereof, and present fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis and
in accordance with GAAP the estimated financial position of Holdings and its Subsidiaries
as at March 31, 2006 and their estimated results of operations for the periods covered
thereby, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred
at such date or at the beginning of the periods covered thereby.
(iii) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries as of the last day of the most recently completed fiscal quarter ended at
least 45 days prior to the Worldspan Closing Date (including the notes thereto) (the
Worldspan Closing Date Pro Forma Balance Sheet) and the unaudited pro forma consolidated
statement of operations of Holdings and its Subsidiaries for the most recent fiscal year
then ended, the most
139
recently completed fiscal quarter ended at least 45 days prior to the Worldspan Closing
Date and the 12-month period ending on the last day of the most recently completed fiscal
quarter ended at least 45 days prior to the Worldspan Closing Date (together with the
Worldspan Closing Date Pro Forma Balance Sheet, the Worldspan Closing Date Pro Forma
Financial Statements), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the
Administrative Agent, have been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on
such date or at the beginning of such periods, as the case may be) to the Worldspan
Transactions, each material acquisition by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries consummated
after the last day of the most recently completed fiscal quarter ended at least 45 days
prior to the Worldspan Closing Date and prior to the Worldspan Closing Date and all other
material transactions that would be required to be given pro forma effect by Regulation S-X
promulgated under the Exchange Act (including other adjustments consistent with the
definition of Pro Forma Adjustment or as otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the

Subsidiary hereunder).
SECTION 6.17. Post-Closing Matters.
(a) To the extent such items have not been delivered as of the Fourth Amendment and

Effective Date, or such longer period that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent,
the applicable Loan Party (other than a Foreign Guarantor) shall deliver to the Collateral Agent
executed control agreements and ensure that the Collateral Agent has control (within the meaning
of Section 9-104 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code) over each deposit account and securities
account that the Collateral Agent is entitled to have control over pursuant to clause (f) of the
Collateral and Guarantee Requirement.
(c) Within two hundred and seventy (270) days after the Fourth Amendment and Restatement

certificate of the chief financial officer of the Borrower certifying that
making such Mandatory Bond Prepayments (and giving pro forma effect thereto) is
reasonably likely to result in a violation of Section 7.13 at the end of any
fiscal quarter ending on or prior to October 1, 2012 or October 1, 2013,
respectively.

Sixth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties that are due and
payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based
upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Administrative
Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and
Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in
full, (i) to the Second Lien Collateral Agent, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement
or (ii) to the extent not required to be applied as set forth in clause (i) pursuant to the
Intercreditor Agreement, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.
Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of
Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such
Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all
Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied
to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above and, if no Obligations remain
outstanding, to the Borrower.
SECTION 8.05. Borrowers Right to Cure.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01, in the event of any
Event of Default resulting from a violation of the covenants set forth in Section 7.11 or 7.12 and
until the expiration of the tenth (10th) day after the date on which financial statements are
required to be delivered with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter hereunder, Holdings or an
Intermediate Holding Company (or, following a Qualifying IPO, the Borrower) may engage in a
Permitted Equity Issuance to any of the Equity Investors and apply the amount of the Net Cash
Proceeds thereof to increase Consolidated EBITDA with respect to such applicable quarter; provided
that such Net Cash Proceeds (i) are actually received by the Borrower through capital contribution
of such Net Cash Proceeds by Holdings or an Intermediate Holding Company to the Borrower no later
than ten (10) days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with
respect to such fiscal quarter hereunder, (ii) are Not Otherwise Applied and (iii) do not exceed
the aggregate amount necessary to cure such Event of Default from a violation of the covenants set
forth in Section 7.11 or 7.12 for any applicable period. The parties hereby acknowledge that this
Section 8.05(a) may not be relied on for purposes of calculating any financial ratios other than as
applicable to
186
Sections 7.11 or 7.12 (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not the financial ratios set forth in the
definition of the term Applicable Rate) and shall not result in any adjustment to any amounts
other than the amount of the Consolidated EBITDA referred to in the immediately preceding
sentence.
(b) In each period of four fiscal quarters, there shall be at least two (2) consecutive
fiscal quarters in which no cure set forth in Section 8.05(a) is made.
ARTICLE IX
Administrative Agent and Other Agents
SECTION 9.01. Appointment and Authorization of Agents.
(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan
Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by
the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere
herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have
or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term agent herein and in the
other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other
implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead,
such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only
an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(b) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit
issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each such L/C Issuer shall have all of
the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agents in this Article IX with respect to any acts
taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it
or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit
pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term Agent as used in this Article IX
and in the definition of Agent-Related Person included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts
or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the collateral agent under the Loan
Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if
applicable), L/C Issuer (if applicable) and a potential Hedge Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints
and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and
187
to hold any security interest created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or on trust
for) such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral
granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and
discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as
collateral agent (and any co-agents, subagents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the
Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any
rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to
the benefits of all provisions of this Article 9 (including Section 9.07, as though such
co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the collateral agent under the Loan Documents)
as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the deposit account agent for the Synthetic
L/C Issuer and the Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lenders, and each of the Non-Extended Synthetic L/C
Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender and Synthetic L/C Issuer (if applicable)) hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent thereof and to
take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion as are reasonably
incidental thereto.
SECTION 9.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any
of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for
purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion
thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and
remedies thereunder) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact including
for the purpose of any Borrowing or payment in Alternative Currencies, such
sub-agents as shall be deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent and shall be
entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or sub-agent or
attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction).
SECTION 9.03. Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection
with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated
hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by
the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its
duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any
Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made
by any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or
provided for in, or received
188
by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or
priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under
the Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to
any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No
Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to
ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements
contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to
inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.
SECTION 9.04. Reliance by Agents.
(a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message,
statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal
counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected
by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under
any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders
as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction
by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of
taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance
with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be
expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.
(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01 of
the Original Credit Agreement or the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, or any
corresponding Section of any amendment agreement with respect to this Agreement (including the
Fourth Amendment and Restatement Agreement), each Lender that has signed this Agreement or any such
amendment agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied
with, each document (including the Intercreditor Agreement) or other matter required thereunder to
be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed date of effectiveness of
this Agreement or any such amendment agreement specifying its objection thereto.
SECTION 9.05. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed
to have knowledge or notice of the
189
occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest
and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower
referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a notice of
default. The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The
Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be
directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided that unless and until
the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
SECTION 9.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges
that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any
Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the
affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including
whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender
represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related
Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and
all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and
made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the
other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without
reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions
in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan
Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the
Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of
their
190
respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.
SECTION 9.07. Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent
not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan
Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all
Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to
any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such
Agent-Related Persons own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the
directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful
misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or
proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such
investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for
its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or
otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any
other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the
Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower, provided
that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrowers continuing reimbursement
obligations with respect thereto. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of
the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the
Administrative Agent.
SECTION 9.08. Agents in their Individual Capacities. UBS AG, Stamford Branch and its
Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from,
acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory,
underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as
though UBS AG, Stamford Branch were not the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer hereunder and
without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such
activities, UBS AG, Stamford Branch or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan
Party or its
191
Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of
such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no
obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, UBS AG, Stamford Branch
shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise
such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer, and the
terms Lender and Lenders include UBS AG, Stamford Branch in its individual capacity.
SECTION 9.09. Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative
Agent upon thirty (30) days notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent
resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a
successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at
all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or (g)
(which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor
agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor
agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder,
the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of
the retiring Administrative Agent and the term Administrative Agent shall mean such successor
administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the
retiring Administrative Agents appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall
be terminated. After the retiring Administrative Agents resignation hereunder as the
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the
Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative
Agents notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agents resignation shall nevertheless
thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative
Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as
provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder
by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or
amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other
instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request,
in order to (a) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the
Collateral Documents or (b) otherwise ensure that the Collateral and
192
Guarantee Requirement is satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed
to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties
of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After the
retiring Administrative Agents resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent,
the provisions of this Article 9 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the
Administrative Agent.
SECTION 9.10. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any
Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any
Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall
have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid
and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their
respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
under Sections 2.03(g) and (h), 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the
Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and
10.04.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the
Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
193
SECTION 9.11. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably agree
that:
(a) any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of the Aggregate
Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (x) obligations under Secured Hedge
Agreements not yet due and payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z)
contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) and the expiration or
termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is
transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted hereunder
or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than Holdings, the Borrower or any of its
Domestic Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries, (iii) if such Lien was required solely as a
result of the application of clause (i) or (j) of the definition of Collateral and Guarantee
Requirement and such Lien is no longer required to be provided pursuant to clause (k) of the
definition of Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, (iv) subject to Section 10.01, if the release
of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or (v) if the
property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its
obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) below;
(b) to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on
such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i); and
(c) any Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guaranty if
such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation
permitted hereunder or if such Guarantor was required to provide a Guaranty solely as a result of
the application of clause (i) or (j) of the definition of Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and
is no longer required to provide a Guaranty pursuant to clause (k) of the definition of Collateral
and Guarantee Requirement; provided that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor continues to
be a guarantor in respect of Indebtedness under any Second Lien Debt Document, the High Yield Notes
or any Junior Financing.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in
writing the Administrative Agents authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular
types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty
pursuant to this Section 9.11. In each case as specified in this Section 9.11, the Administrative
Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrowers
expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may
reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the
assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to evidence the release
of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the
terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11.
194
In addition, each Lender acknowledges that obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors
under the Second Lien Debt Documents and the Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness and the Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness Documents, and certain obligations related thereto, may be secured by
Liens on assets of the Borrower and the Guarantors that constitute Collateral. Each Lender hereby
irrevocably (i) authorizes the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent to execute and
deliver the Intercreditor Agreement, the intercreditor agreement referred to in the definition of
the term Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness and any documents relating thereto (including any
amendments to the Collateral Documents) as the Administrative Agent shall determine to be
appropriate to cause the Indebtedness under the Second Lien Debt Documents and the Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness, and certain obligations related thereto, to be secured on a second
priority basis with the Obligations, in each case without any further consent, authorization or
other action by any Lender, (ii) agrees that, upon the execution and delivery of the Intercreditor
Agreement, such intercreditor agreement or any such document, each Lender will be bound by the
provisions thereof as if it were a signatory thereto and will take no actions contrary to the
provisions thereof and (iii) agrees that none of the Lenders or any other Secured Party shall have
any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as a result
of any action taken by such Agent pursuant to this paragraph or in accordance with the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, such intercreditor agreement or any such document.
SECTION 9.12. Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. None of the Lenders or
other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as
a syndication agent, co-documentation agent, joint bookrunner or arranger
shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under
this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting
the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be
deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges
that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so
identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking
action hereunder.
SECTION 9.13. Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.
(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no
violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations
or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized
that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in
particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative
Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any
of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any
other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent
is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the
195
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative
agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional
individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a Supplemental Administrative
Agent and collectively as Supplemental Administrative Agents).
(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent
with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or
intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or
conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and
vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to
enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with
respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every
covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or
performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by
either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions
of this Article 9 and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall
inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the
Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such
Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.
(c) Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower, Holdings or any other Loan Party be
required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more
fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and
duties, the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable, shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute,
acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative
Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such
Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised
by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.

Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other

interest under Section 2.07 or 2.08 without the written consent of each Lender directly affected

Borrowing, or (subject to clause (iii) of the second proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees or

of Lenders holding more than 50% of any Class of Commitments shall be required with respect to any
amendment that by its terms adversely affects the rights of such Class in respect of payments
hereunder in a manner different than such amendment affects other Classes. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any
amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be
increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that any Commitments
or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders
hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with
the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add
one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit
from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to
share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Tranche B
Dollar Term Loans, the Euro Term Loans, the Revolving Credit Loans and the Synthetic L/C Loans and
the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders
holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.
In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written
consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Dollar
Replacement Term Loans or Euro Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing
of all outstanding Tranche B Dollar Term Loans (Dollar Refinanced Term Loans) or Euro Term Loans
(Euro Refinanced Term Loans) with a replacement Dollar term loan tranche denominated in Dollars
(Dollar Replacement Term Loans) or Euro term loan tranche denominated in Euros (Euro Replacement
Term Loans), respectively, hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such
Dollar Replacement Term Loans or Euro Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate
principal amount of such Dollar Refinanced Term Loans or Euro Refinanced Term Loans, respectively,
(b) the Applicable Rate Dollar Replacement Term Loans or Euro Replacement Term Loans (or similar
interest rate spread applicable to such Dollar Replacement Term Loans or Euro Replacement Term
Loans, respectively) shall not be higher than the Applicable Rate for such Dollar Refinanced Term
Loans or Euro Refinanced Term Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Dollar
Refinanced Term Loans or Euro Refinanced Term Loans, respectively) immediately prior to such
refinancing, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Dollar Replacement Term Loans or
Euro Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such
Dollar Refinanced Term Loans or Euro Refinanced Term Loans, respectively, at the time of such
refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been
eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Term Loans) and (d) all other terms
applicable to such Dollar Replacement Term Loans or Euro
198
Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders
providing such Dollar Replacement Term Loans or Euro Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable
to such Dollar Refinanced Term Loans or Euro Refinanced Term Loans, respectively, except to the
extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest
final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent of the Borrower or any Loan Party shall be required
for amendments or waivers to the Intercreditor Agreement except to the extent expressly set forth
in the Intercreditor Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.01, guarantees, collateral
security documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement
may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this
Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the
Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is
delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure
ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other
document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 10.02. Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies.
(a) General. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications
provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing (including by facsimile

Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Article 2 shall not be effective until
actually received by such Person. In no event shall a voice mail message be effective as a notice,
communication or confirmation hereunder.
(b) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted
and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject
to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding
on all Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders.
(c) Reliance by Agents and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled
to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan
Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made
in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of
notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any
confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from
all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each
notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct. All telephonic notices to the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the
Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
SECTION 10.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right,
remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights,
remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan
Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided by Law.
SECTION 10.04. Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to
pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the
Co-Documentation Agents and the Arrangers for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and
execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver,
consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not
the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and
administration of
200
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs of local and
foreign counsel, and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the
Co-Documentation Agents, the Arrangers and each Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding,
including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all Attorney Costs of counsel
to the Administrative Agent). The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable
search, filing, recording and title insurance charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and
other (reasonable, in the case of Section 10.04(a)) out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent.
The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments
and repayment of all other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid
within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting
forth such expenses in reasonable detail. If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs,
expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be
paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.
SECTION 10.05. Indemnification by the Borrower. Whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby are consummated, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person,
each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees,
counsel, agents, trustees, investment advisors and attorneys-in-fact (collectively, the
Indemnitees) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney
Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection
with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document
or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions
contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any
Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom
(including any refusal by an L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if
the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of
such Letter of Credit), (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or
from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any
other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, any
Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or (d) any actual or prospective
201
claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of
any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the Indemnified Liabilities),
in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of
the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the
extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or
attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the
use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar
information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee or any
Loan Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection
herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Fourth Amendment and Restatement Effective
Date). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in
this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation,
litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or
an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and
whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within ten (10)
Business Days after demand therefor; provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund
such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such
Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment
pursuant to the express terms of this Section 10.05. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall
survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination
of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other
Obligations.
SECTION 10.06. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the
Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of
setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant
to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under
202
any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the
obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered
from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to
the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight
Rate from time to time in effect.
SECTION 10.07. Successors and Assigns.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither
Holdings nor the Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee, (ii) by way
of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or
assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(g) or (iv) to an SPC
in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h) (and any other attempted assignment or
transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section
10.07(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign
to one or more assignees (Assignees) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment (which, in the case of an assignment of any
portion of (1) a Synthetic L/C Commitment of any Class, must include, in the case of a Non-Extended
Synthetic L/C Commitment, an assignment of an equal portion of such Lenders interest in its
Credit-Linked Deposit, the Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Loans and participations in Synthetic L/C
Obligations on account of its Synthetic L/C Commitment of such Class, and, in the case of an
Extended Synthetic L/C Commitment, an assignment of an equal portion of such Lenders interest in
its Tranche S Term Loans and participations in Synthetic L/C Obligations on account of its
Synthetic L/C Commitment of such Class, and (2) in the case of an assignment of any Tranche S Term
Loan, must include an equal portion of such Lenders interest in its Extended Synthetic L/C
Commitment and participations in Synthetic L/C Obligations on account of such Commitment) and the
Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in
Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:
(A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for
an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
203
Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g)
has occurred and is continuing, any Assignee;
(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative
Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan or a
portion of any Synthetic L/C Facility to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or
an Approved Fund;
(C) in the case of any assignment under any Revolving Credit Facility, each
Revolving L/C Issuer that is a Principal L/C Issuer at the time of such assignment;
provided that no consent of the Principal L/C Issuers shall be required for any
assignment to an Agent or an Affiliate of an Agent; and
(D) in the case of any assignment of any of the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility,
the Swing Line Lender.
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender
or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lenders Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of
the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the
Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (in the case of the Revolving
Credit Facilities) or $1,000,000 (in the case of a Term Loan or a portion of any
Synthetic L/C Facility) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
otherwise consents, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be
required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is
continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its
Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500; provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the
event of simultaneous assignments from any Lender or its Approved Funds to one or more
other Approved Funds of such Lender; and
(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
This paragraph (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights
and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.
204
(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption,
the Eligible 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 Lenders rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts
and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the
surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and
deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(e).
(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at the Administrative Agents Office 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 (and related interest amounts) of the Loans,
Credit-Linked Deposits, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and
amounts due under Section 2.03, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to
time (the Register). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and
the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall 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, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice.
(e) 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) (each, a
Participant) in all or a portion of such Lenders rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lenders
participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such
Lenders 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 Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lenders 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 the other Loan Documents and to approve
any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not,
without the consent of the
205
Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Borrower
agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 (subject to the
requirements of Section 10.15), 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(c). To the extent permitted by
applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though
it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it
were a Lender.
(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01,
3.04 or 3.05 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 Borrowers prior written consent.
(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) 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.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a Granting
Lender) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to
time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an SPC) the option to
provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make
pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any
SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to
make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan
pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC
nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise
increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations
under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment
obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender
shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of
any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by
an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if,
such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion
of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose
on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating
agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity
enhancement to such SPC.
206
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) any Lender may in
accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing
to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security
interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the
trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such
obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in
compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the
pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall
not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such
trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure
or otherwise.
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer or the Swing
Line Lender may, upon thirty (30) days notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C
Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, respectively; provided that on or prior to the expiration of such
30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender
shall have identified, in consultation with the Borrower, a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as
applicable. In the event of any such resignation of an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the
Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a
successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by the Borrower to
appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing
Line Lender, as the case may be. If an L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the
rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding
as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect
thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If the Swing Line Lender
resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for
hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of
such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).
(k) In the case of any assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) above by a Non-Extended Synthetic
L/C Lender, the Credit-Linked Deposit of the assignor Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Lender shall not
be released, but shall instead be purchased by the relevant assignee and continue to be held for
application (to the extent not already applied) in accordance with this Agreement to satisfy such
assignees obligations in respect of the Non-Extended Synthetic L/C Exposure.
SECTION 10.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be
disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates directors, officers,
employees, trustees, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal
207
counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made
will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority; (c) to the
extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d)
to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable
to the Borrower), to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g), counterparty to a Swap Contract,
Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in,
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; (f) with the written consent of the
Borrower; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section 10.08; (h) to any Governmental Authority or examiner (including the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender;
(i) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such
disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information
relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender); or (j) 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. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement
and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the
lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the
administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the
Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section 10.08, Information means all information
received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such
information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan
Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided that, in the case of
information received from a Loan Party after the Original Closing Date, such information is clearly
identified at the time of delivery as confidential or (ii) is delivered pursuant to Section 6.01,
6.02 or 6.03 hereof.
SECTION 10.09. Setoff. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, in addition to any
rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and its Affiliates is
authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other
Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf
208
and on behalf of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries) 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) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender
and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit
or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all
Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates hereunder
or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such
Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency
different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees
promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application
made by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be; provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 10.09 are in addition to
other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, such
Lender and such L/C Issuer may have.
SECTION 10.10. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed
the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the Maximum Rate). If any
Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess
interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal,
refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received
by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium
rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize,
prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the
contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
SECTION 10.11. Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in
one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier or other electronic image
transmission (e.g. PDF or TIF via electronic mail) of an executed counterpart of a signature
page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be
209
effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such
other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and
signatures delivered by telecopier be confirmed by a manually signed original
thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit
the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier.
SECTION 10.12. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan
Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the
subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or
oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of
this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this
Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or
remedies in favor of the Agents, the L/C Issuers or the Lenders in any other Loan
Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was
drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be
construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with
the fair meaning thereof.
SECTION 10.13. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations
and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall
survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and
warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender,
regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf
and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force
and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid
or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.
SECTION 10.14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 10.15. Tax Forms.
(a) (i) Each Lender and Agent that is not a United States person within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a Foreign Lender) shall, to the extent it may lawfully do
so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or
210
prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the Second Amendment and Restatement
Effective Date (or, in the case of any Lender becoming a Lender hereunder after the Second
Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two
duly signed, properly completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating
to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States
withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower or any other Loan
Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor
thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower or any other
Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document) or such other evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to
an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding tax, including any exemption
pursuant to Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, and in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming such
an exemption under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate that establishes in writing to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is not (i) a bank as defined in
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) a 10-percent stockholder within the meaning of Section
871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower with
the meaning of Section 864(d) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign
Lender shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, (A) promptly submit to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of such forms
or certificates (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by
the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United
States Laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is reasonably satisfactory to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from, or reduction of, United
States federal withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by
the Borrower or other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, in each
case, (1) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or
becomes obsolete, (2) after the occurrence of a change in the Lenders circumstances requiring a
change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent and (3) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (B) promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent of any change in the Lenders circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed
exemption or reduction.
(ii) Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own
account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Foreign Lender under
any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such
Foreign Lender), shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account
with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may
be necessary in the determination of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (in either
case, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of
the forms or statements required to be provided by such
211
Foreign Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable
with respect to which such Foreign Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to
United States federal withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form
W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such Foreign Lender chooses
to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required
under the Code, to establish that such Foreign Lender is not acting for its own account with
respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Foreign Lender.
(iii) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount or any indemnity
payment under Section 3.01 to (A) any Foreign Lender if such Foreign Lender shall have failed
to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.15(a), or (B) any U.S. Lender if such
U.S. Lender shall have failed to satisfy the provisions of Section 10.15(b); provided that
(i) if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this Section 10.15(a) or Section
10.15(b), as applicable, on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceased to act for its own
account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this Section
10.15(a) or Section 10.15(b) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts
pursuant to Section 3.01 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable Law,
treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation,
administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver
forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such
Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under
any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a
reduced rate and (ii) nothing in this Section 10.15(a) shall relieve the Borrower of its
obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 in the event that the requirements of
10.15(a)(ii) have not been satisfied if the Borrower is entitled, under applicable Law, to
rely on any applicable forms and statements required to be provided under this Section 10.15
by the Foreign Lender that does not act or has ceased to act for its own account under any of
the Loan Documents, including in the case of a typical participation.
(iv) The Administrative Agent may deduct and withhold any taxes required by any Laws to
be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents.
(b) Each Lender and Agent that is a United States person within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a U.S. Lender) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower two duly signed, properly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 on or prior to the Second
Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of any Lender becoming a Lender hereunder
after the Second Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, upon accepting an assignment of an
interest herein), certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States
backup withholding tax, or any successor form. If such U.S. Lender fails to deliver such forms,
then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to such U.S. Lender an amount
equivalent to the applicable backup withholding tax imposed by the Code.
212
SECTION 10.16. GOVERNING LAW.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED
WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO
ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR
HEREAFTER ARISING, MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY
OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF
THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER, HOLDINGS, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN
RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. THE BORROWER, HOLDINGS,
EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING
OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE
BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER
DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO.
SECTION 10.17. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT
HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR
CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR
RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH
RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE
WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT
OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND,
ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT
ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS
SECTION 10.17 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES
HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
SECTION 10.18. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective as
provided in the Fourth Amendment and
213
Restatement Agreement, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Borrower, each Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that no
Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the
prior written consent of the Lenders except as permitted by Section 7.04.
SECTION 10.19. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it
is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another
currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking
procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on
the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower
in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the Judgment
Currency) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable
provisions of this Agreement (the Agreement Currency), be discharged only to the extent that on
the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in
the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures
purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency
so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from any Borrower in
the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such
judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing
against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum
originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to
return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled
thereto under applicable Law).
SECTION 10.20. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any
actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or
any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents or the Secured Hedge Agreements (including the
exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any bankers lien or similar claim or other
rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial
procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provision of this Section 10.20 are for
the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense
available to, any Loan Party.
214
SECTION 10.21. 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)) (the Act), it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address
of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the
Borrower in accordance with the Act.
SECTION 10.22. Agent for Service of Process. The Borrower agrees that promptly
following request by the Administrative Agent it shall cause each material Foreign
Subsidiary for whose account a Letter of Credit is issued to appoint and maintain an
agent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to receive service of process
in New York City on behalf of such material Foreign Subsidiary.

ARTICLE II
Guaranty
SECTION 2.01. Guaranty. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees (and confirms
its original guarantee under the Original Guaranty), jointly with the other Guarantors and
severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations.
Each of the Guarantors further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in
-4-
whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon
its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation. Each of the Guarantors
waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower or any other Loan Party
of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of
protest for nonpayment.
SECTION 2.02. Guaranty of Payment. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that
its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and
waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured
Party to any security held for the payment of the Obligations, or to any balance of any deposit
account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of
the Borrower or any other Person.
SECTION 2.03. No Limitations.
(a) Except for termination of a Guarantors obligations hereunder as expressly provided in
Section 4.13, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction,
limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release,
surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability of the Obligations, or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to
assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan
Document or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release
from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with
respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement; (iii) the release of any security held by the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or
delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; or (v) any other act or
omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or
otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations). Each Guarantor expressly authorizes
the Secured Parties to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Obligations,
to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce
or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion
or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the
Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.
(b) Except for termination of a Guarantors obligations hereunder as expressly permitted in
Section 4.13, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense
based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the
unenforceability of the Obligations, or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any
cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment
in full in cash of all the Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties
may in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents, at their election,
-5-
foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales,
accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of
the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise
any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, without
affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the
Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election
even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any
right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the
Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.
SECTION 2.04. Reinstatement. Each of the Guarantors agrees that its guarantee
hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or otherwise.
SECTION 2.05. Agreement To Pay; Subrogation. In furtherance of the foregoing
and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party
has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or
any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at
maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises
to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the
Secured Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of
any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the
Borrower or any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation,
contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Article
III.
SECTION 2.06. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being
and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers and each other Loan Partys financial condition and
assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations, and
the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and
agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to
advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or
risks.
ARTICLE III
Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination
SECTION 3.01. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of
indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section
3.03), the Borrower agrees that in the event a payment of an obligation shall be made by any
Guarantor under this Agreement, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full
-6-
amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to
whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment.
SECTION 3.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Subsidiary Party (a
Contributing Party) agrees (subject to Section 3.03) that, in the event a payment shall be made
by any other Subsidiary Party hereunder in respect of any Obligation and such other Subsidiary
Party (the Claiming Party) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in
Section 3.01, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the
amount of such payment, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the
net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate
net worth of all the Contributing Parties together with the net worth of the Claiming Party on the
date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 4.14, the
date of the Guaranty Supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Guarantor). Any
Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be
subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party to the extent of such payment.
SECTION 3.03. Subordination.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the
Guarantors under Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or
subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible
payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the part of the Borrower or any
Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 3.01 and 3.02 (or any other payments required
under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of
any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for
the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.
(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default and after notice from the Collateral Agent all Indebtedness owed by it to any
Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the
Obligations.
ARTICLE IV
Miscellaneous
SECTION 4.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except
as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of
the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Subsidiary Party shall be
given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 4.02. Waivers; Amendment.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any
Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
-7-
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 L/C Issuers and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise
have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Loan Party
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of
this Section 4.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making
of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default,
regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may have had notice or
knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall
entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) 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
Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties with respect to which such waiver,
amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section
10.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 4.03. Administrative Agents Fees and Expenses;
Indemnification.
(a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement
of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, the
Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in
Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of
this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing agreements or instruments contemplated hereby, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party
thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any Affiliate, director, officer,
employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee.
(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured
hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 4.03 shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of
the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or
-8-
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf
of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 4.03
shall be payable within 10 days of written demand therefor.
SECTION 4.04. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the
parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors
and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any
Guarantor or the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to
the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.
SECTION 4.05. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other
instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any
Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended
under the Credit Agreement, 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 any Loan Document
is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments
have not expired or terminated.
SECTION 4.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement
may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this
Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic image transmission (e.g. PDF or TIF via
electronic mail) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this
Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Loan Party when a counterpart hereof
executed on behalf of such Loan Party shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a
counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter
shall be binding upon such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent and their respective permitted
successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Loan Party, the Administrative Agent
and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan
Party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any
interest herein (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly
contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a
separate agreement with respect to each Loan Party and may be amended, modified, supplemented,
waived or released with respect to any Loan Party without the approval of any other Loan Party and
without affecting the obligations of any other Loan Party hereunder.
SECTION 4.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such invalidity, illegality or uneforceability without affecting the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The
-9-
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The
parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 4.08. Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the
Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
each Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior
notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower and
each Loan Party 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) at any time held by, and other
Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates to or for the credit or the
account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all obligations owing to such Lender and its
Affiliates hereunder, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or
Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be
contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit
or Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender
under this Section 4.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of
setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have.
SECTION 4.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of
Process.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the
State of New York.
(b) Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and
its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
sitting in New York City and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any
judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York
State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto
agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative
Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating

B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and the Guaranty referred to therein.
C. The Guarantors have entered into the Guaranty in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans
and the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit. Section 4.14 of the Guaranty provides that
additional Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become Subsidiary Parties under the Guaranty
by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned
Restricted Subsidiary (the New Subsidiary) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the
requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Subsidiary Party under the Guaranty in order to
induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue additional Letters of
Credit and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued.
Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 4.14 of the Guaranty, the New Subsidiary by its
signature below becomes a Subsidiary Party (and accordingly, becomes a Guarantor under the Guaranty
with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Subsidiary Party and the New
Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guaranty
applicable to it as a Subsidiary Party and Guarantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants
that the representations and warranties made by it as a Guarantor thereunder are true and correct
on and as of the date hereof. Each reference to a Guarantor in the Security Agreement shall be
deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Guaranty is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the
other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it
and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with
its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, fraudulent transfer,
preference or similar laws and by general principles of equity.
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken
together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the
Administrative Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature
of the New Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of
an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as
delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.
SECTION 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guaranty shall remain in full force
and effect.
SECTION 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF
NEW YORK.
SECTION 6. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Guaranty shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other
jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as
close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided
in Section 4.01 of the Guaranty.
SECTION 8. The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement,
including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the
Administrative Agent.

to the Collateral Agent a certificate executed by the chief financial officer and the chief legal
officer of the Borrower setting forth the information required pursuant to Schedules 1(a), 1(c),
1(e), 1(f), 2(b), 8(a) and 8(b) of the Perfection Certificate or confirming that there has been no
change in such information since the date of such certificate or the date of the most recent
certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 3.03(c) and certifying that all UCC financing
statements and other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations have been filed of record in
each governmental, municipal or other appropriate office in each jurisdiction necessary to protect
and perfect the Security Interests and Liens under this Agreement (in respect of all Article 9
Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in
the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions
pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in the relevant jurisdiction) and the Intellectual Property
Security Agreement (to the extent required thereby) for a period of not less than 18 months after
the date of such certificate (except as noted therein with respect to any continuation statements
to be filed within such period).
-16-
(d) The Borrower agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Grantor, at its own
expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments
and documents and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably
request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and
remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing
of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith
or therewith. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral
that is in excess of $5,000,000 shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note or other
instrument, such note or instrument shall be promptly pledged and delivered to the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent.
(e) At its option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges,
fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9
Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the
maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so
as required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement and within a reasonable period of time after
the Collateral Agent has requested that it do so, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to
reimburse the Collateral Agent within 10 days after demand for any payment made or any reasonable
expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any
obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other
promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security
interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
(f) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account
Debtor or any other Person, the value of which is in excess of $5,000,000, to secure payment and
performance of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Such assignment need not be filed of
public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against
creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security
interest.
(g) Each Grantor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable
(as between itself and any relevant counterparty) to observe and perform all the conditions and
obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument
relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and
each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify
-17-
and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and all
liability for such performance.
(h) If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim with a
value in excess of $5,000,000, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in
writing signed by such Grantor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Collateral
Agent a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this
Agreement pursuant to a document in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent.
(i) The Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, as soon as practicable
and in any event within 30 days of the Closing Date, share certificates, if any, for the
Foreign Subsidiaries listed on Schedule V, together with stock powers duly executed in blank
or other instruments of transfer reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and such
other instruments and documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.
SECTION 3.04 Other Actions. In order to further insure the attachment, perfection
and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Security Interest, each
Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantors own expense, to take the following actions with
respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:
(a) Instruments. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments
constituting Collateral and evidencing an amount in excess of $5,000,000, such Grantor shall
forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed
in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.
(b) Investment Property. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article II, if any
Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities, such Grantor shall
forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed
in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request. If any securities
now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are uncertificated and are issued to such Grantor
or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, upon the Collateral Agents request and
following the occurrence of an Event of Default such Grantor shall promptly notify the
Collateral Agent thereof and, at the Collateral Agents reasonable request, pursuant to an
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i)
cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent as to such
securities, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) arrange for the
Collateral Agent to become the registered owner of the securities. If any securities,
whether certificated or uncertificated, or other investment property are held by any Grantor
or its nominee through a securities intermediary or
-18-
commodity intermediary, upon the Collateral Agents request and following the occurrence of an
Event of Default, such Grantor shall immediately notify the Collateral Agent thereof and at the
Collateral Agents request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent shall either (i) cause such securities intermediary or (as the
case may be) commodity intermediary to agree to comply with entitlement orders or other
instructions from the Collateral Agent to such securities intermediary as to such security
entitlements, or (as the case may be) to apply any value distributed on account of any commodity
contract as directed by the Collateral Agent to such commodity intermediary, in each case without
further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) in the case of financial assets or other
Investment Property held through a securities intermediary, arrange for the Collateral Agent to
become the entitlement holder with respect to such Investment Property, with the Grantor being
permitted, only with the consent of the Collateral Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or
otherwise deal with such Investment Property. The Collateral Agent agrees with each of the Grantors
that the Collateral Agent shall not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions
to any such issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, and shall not withhold its
consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by any Grantor, unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any
financial assets credited to a securities account for which the Collateral Agent is the securities
intermediary.
(c) Control Agreements.
(i) Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Fourth Amendment and Restatement
Effective Date, or such longer period that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent,
each applicable Domestic Grantor (other than Holdings) shall enter into, and shall cause the
relevant bank(s) to enter into, a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to each of the
Deposit Accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) listed on Schedule VI or such Domestic Grantors
shall have closed such accounts, within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the Fourth Amendment
and Restatement Effective Date (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in
writing in its reasonable discretion). No Domestic Grantor (other than Holdings) shall hereafter
establish and maintain any Deposit Account (other than any Excluded Account) unless (1) the
applicable Domestic Grantor shall have given the Collateral Agent two (2) Business Days (or such
shorter period as may be agreed to by the Collateral Agent in writing in its discretion) prior
written notice of its intention to establish such new Deposit Account with a bank, and (2) such
bank and such Domestic Grantor shall have (or promptly thereafter, but in any event, within 30 days
from such date (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in writing in its
reasonable discretion)) duly executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent a Deposit Account
Control Agreement (or an amendment to an existing Deposit Account Control Agreement) with respect
to such Deposit Account. The Collateral Agent shall not give any instructions directing the
disposition of funds (a
-19-
Control Notice) from time to time credited to any Deposit Account or withhold any withdrawal
rights from such Domestic Grantor with respect to funds from time to time credited to any Deposit
Account unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. To the extent permitted by the
terms of the applicable Deposit Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent agrees to
reasonably promptly (but in any event, within five Business Days after receipt of written request
from the applicable Grantor) rescind a Control Notice (notice of such rescission, a Rescission
Notice) if such Event of Default upon which a Control Notice was issued has been cured (as
determined by the Collateral Agent) or waived in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement
and no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or is reasonably expected to occur on
or immediately after the date of such Rescission Notice.
(ii) Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Fourth Amendment and Restatement
Effective Date, or such longer period that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent,
each applicable Domestic Grantor (other than Holdings) shall enter into, and shall cause the
relevant Securities Intermediary, or Securities Intermediaries, to enter into, a Securities Account
Control Agreement with respect to each of the Securities Accounts (other than Excluded Accounts)
listed on Schedule VI or such Domestic Grantors shall have closed such accounts, within one hundred
and twenty (120) days of the Fourth Amendment and Restated Effective Date (or such longer period as
the Administrative Agent may agree in writing in its reasonable discretion). No Domestic Grantor
(other than Holdings) shall hereafter establish and maintain any Securities Account (other than any
Excluded Account) unless (1) the applicable Domestic Grantor shall have given the Collateral Agent
two (2) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Collateral Agent in
writing in its discretion) prior written notice of its intention to establish such new Securities
Account with a Securities Intermediary, and (2) such Securities Intermediary and such Domestic
Grantor shall have (or promptly thereafter, but in any event, within 30 days from such date (or
such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in writing in its reasonable discretion))
duly executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent a Securities Account Control Agreement (or an
amendment to an existing Deposit Account Control Agreement) with respect to such Securities
Account. The Collateral Agent shall not give a Control Notice or withhold any withdrawal rights
from such Domestic Grantor with respect to funds from time to time credited to any Securities
Account unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. To the extent permitted by the
terms of the applicable Deposit Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent agrees to
reasonably promptly (but in any event, within five Business Days after receipt of written request
from the applicable Grantor) rescind a Control Notice if such Event of Default upon which a Control
Notice was issued has been cured (as determined by the Collateral Agent) or waived in accordance
with the terms of the Credit Agreement and no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
or is reasonably expected to occur on or immediately after the date of such Rescission Notice.

ARTICLE IV
Remedies
SECTION 4.01 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise any
and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Obligations under the Uniform
Commercial Code or other applicable law and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor
agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all
or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the
Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably
convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted,
leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for
a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without
obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Collateral Agent shall
provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such occupancy; (iii)
exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the
Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the Collateral Agent shall
provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such exercise; and
(iv) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law and the notice requirements described
below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Obligations at a
public or private sale or at any brokers board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon
credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent
shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict
the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are
purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall
have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the
Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold
absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives
(to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor
now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or
hereafter enacted.
The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days written notice (which each
Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its
equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agents intention to make any sale of
Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale
and, in the case of a sale at a brokers board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board
or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion
thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be
held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as
-21-
the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the
Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The
Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine
not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given.
The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or
cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for
sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same
was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for
future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale
price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any
liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral
so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At
any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any
Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of
redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also
hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof
offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to
such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party
may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without
further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to
purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral
Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be
entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding
the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of
Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising
the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at
law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof
pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to
a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section
4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section
9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.
Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all
officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantors true and lawful
agent (and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default and after notice to the
Borrower of its intent to exercise such rights, for the purpose of (i) making, settling and
adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name
of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such
policies of insurance, (ii) making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto and (iii)
obtaining or maintaining the policies of insurance required by Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement
or paying any premium in whole or in part relating thereto. All sums disbursed by
-22-
the Collateral Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys fees, court
costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, within 10 days of demand, by
the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby.
SECTION 4.02 Application of Proceeds.
(a) The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of
Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, in accordance with Section
8.04 of the Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date.
The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such
proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the
Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial
proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a
sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or
purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid
over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication
thereof.
(b) In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 4.02, the
Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the Administrative Agent
as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with
respect to the Obligations, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the
Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information, provided that nothing in
this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured
Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent
jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to
inquire as to the application by the Administrative Agent of any amounts distributed to it.
ARTICLE V
Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination
SECTION 5.01 Indemnity. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation
as the Grantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 5.03), the Borrower agrees
that, in the event any assets of any Grantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Collateral Document to satisfy in whole or in part an Obligation owed to any Secured Party, the
Borrower shall indemnify such Grantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the
fair market value of the assets so sold.
-23-
SECTION 5.02 Contribution and Subrogation. Each Subsidiary Party (a Contributing
Party) agrees (subject to Section 5.03) that, in the event assets of any other Subsidiary Party
shall be sold pursuant to any Collateral Document to satisfy any Obligation owed to any Secured
Party, and such other Subsidiary Party (the Claiming Party) shall not have been fully indemnified
by the Borrower as provided in Section 5.01, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming
Party in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets,
in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the
Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all
the Contributing Parties together with the net worth of the Claiming Party on the date hereof (or,
in the case of any Grantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 6.14, the date of the
Security Agreement Supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Grantor). Any Contributing
Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be subrogated to
the rights of such Claiming Party to the extent of such payment.
SECTION 5.03 Subordination.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the
Grantors under Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or
subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the part of the
Borrower or any Grantor to make the payments required by Sections 5.01 and 5.02 (or any
other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the
obligations and liabilities of any Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and
each Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Grantor
hereunder.
(b) Each Grantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default and after notice from the Collateral Agent all Indebtedness owed by it
to any Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of
the Obligations.
ARTICLE VI
Miscellaneous
SECTION 6.01 Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as
otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the
Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Subsidiary Party shall be given
to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.02 Waivers; Amendment.
-24-
(a) No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender in exercising
any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral
Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative
and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02, and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose
for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance
of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Collateral Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at
the time. No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any
other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) 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 Collateral Agent and the Loan
Party or Loan Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply,
subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.03 Collateral Agents Fees and Expenses;.
(a) The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement
of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 10.04
of the Credit Agreement. Without
limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, the Borrower agrees
to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 10.05 of the
Credit Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of,
in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or
any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party
thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or
attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee.
-25-
(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations
secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 6.03
shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any
term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by
or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this
Section 6.03 shall be payable within 10 days of written demand therefor.
SECTION 6.04 Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties
hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and
assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or
the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of
their respective successors and assigns.
SECTION 6.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other
instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any
Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended
under the Credit Agreement, 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 any Loan Document
is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments
have not expired or terminated.
SECTION 6.06 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken
together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this
Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic image transmission (e.g. PDF or TIF via
electronic mail) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this
Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Loan Party when a counterpart hereof
executed on behalf of such Loan Party shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a
counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall
be binding upon such Loan Party and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors
and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Loan Party, the Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party shall have
the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in
the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be
-26-
void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement
shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Loan Party and may be amended,
modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Loan Party without the approval of
any other Loan Party and without affecting the obligations of any other Loan Party hereunder.
SECTION 6.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The
parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 6.08 Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the
Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
each Lender and its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and
from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice
being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and its
Subsidiaries) 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) at any time held by, and other
Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its
Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties
and their Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or
such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter
existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made
demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be
contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit
or Indebtedness. Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as
the case may be; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C
Issuer under this Section 6.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights
of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such L/C Issuer may have.
SECTION 6.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the
State of New York.
(b) Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself
and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the
-27-

proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by
law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any
such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Collateral Agent, any L/C Issuer or
any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document against any Grantor or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.
(c) Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph
(b) of this Section 6.09. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of
such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the
manner provided for notices in Section 6.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law.
SECTION 6.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS
AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.10.
SECTION 6.11 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
-28-
are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this
Agreement.
SECTION 6.12 Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent
hereunder, the Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral and
all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a)
any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any
agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to
any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other
term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any
departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument,
(c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or
amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing
all or any of the Obligations or (d) subject to the terms of Section 6.13, any other circumstance
that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect
of the Obligations or this Agreement.
SECTION 6.13 Termination or Release.
(a) This Agreement, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted
hereby shall terminate with respect to all Obligations (other than (x) obligations under
Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet
due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable)
when all the outstanding Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Lenders
have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, the L/C Obligations have been
reduced to zero and the L/C Issuers have no further obligations to issue Letters of Credit
under the Credit Agreement.
(b) A Subsidiary Party shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder
and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Party shall be automatically
released (i) upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a
result of which such Subsidiary Party ceases to be a Subsidiary or is designated as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that the Required Lenders shall have consented to such
transaction (to the extent required by the Credit Agreement) and the terms of such consent
did not provide otherwise; and provided further that no such release shall occur if such
Subsidiary Party continues to be a guarantor in respect of the Credit Agreement, High Yield
Notes, 2016 Senior Notes or any Junior Financing and (ii) if such Security Interest was
required solely as a result of the application of clause (i) or (j) of the definition of
Collateral and Guarantee Requirement (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and such Security
Interest is no longer required to be provided pursuant to clause (k) of the definition of
Collateral and Guarantee Requirement (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
-29-
(c) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral (other than any
transfer to another Grantor) that is permitted under the Credit Agreement, or upon the
effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby
in any Collateral pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, the security interest
in such Collateral shall be automatically released.
(d) Any Subsidiary party shall be automatically released from its obligations under
this Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a
transaction or designation permitted under the Credit Agreement or, if such Subsidiary Party
was required to provide a Guaranty solely as a result of the application of clause (i) or
(j) of the definition of Collateral and Guarantee Requirement (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) and is no longer required to provide a Guaranty pursuant to clause (k) of the
definition of Collateral and Guarantee Requirement (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
(e) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b), (c)
or (d) of this Section 6.13, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor,
at such Grantors expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to
evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to
this Section 6.13 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.
SECTION 6.14 Additional Restricted Subsidiaries. Pursuant to Section 6.11 of the
Credit Agreement, certain Restricted Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties that were not in existence or
not Restricted Subsidiaries on the date of the Credit Agreement are required to enter in this
Agreement as Subsidiary Parties upon becoming Restricted Subsidiaries. Upon execution and delivery
by the Collateral Agent and a Restricted Subsidiary of a Security Agreement Supplement, such
Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Party hereunder with the same force and effect as
if originally named as a Subsidiary Party herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument
shall not require the consent of any other Loan Party hereunder. The rights and obligations of each
Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new
Loan Party as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 6.15 Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby
appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out
the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the
Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof at any time
after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable and
coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent
shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and
notice by the Collateral Agent to the Borrower of its intent to exercise such rights, with full
power of substitution either in the Collateral Agents name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to
receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money
orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand,
-30-
collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any
of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to
any of the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts Receivable to any Account Debtor; (e)
to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any
court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or
to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or
defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify,
or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral
Agent; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or
otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to
carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent
were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained
shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to
make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent,
or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or
any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered
thereby. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts
actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither
they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any
act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct or that
of any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents or attorneys-in-fact.
SECTION 6.16 General Authority of the Collateral Agent. By acceptance of the
benefits of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents, each Secured Party (whether or not a
signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to consent to the appointment of the Collateral
Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Collateral Documents, (b) to confirm that the
Collateral Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of such Secured Party for
the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement and such other Collateral Documents against any
Grantor, the exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder and the giving or withholding of any
consent or approval hereunder or thereunder relating to any Collateral or any Grantors obligations
with respect thereto, (c) to agree that it shall not take any action to enforce any provisions of
this Agreement or any other Collateral Document against any Grantor, to exercise any remedy
hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or thereunder except as
expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Collateral Document and (d) to agree to be bound
by the terms of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and
year first above written.

Agreement) (in such capacity, the Collateral Agent).
A. Reference is made to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August
23, 2006, as amended and restated on January 29, 2007, as further amended and restated on May 23,

B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement referred to therein.
C. The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to
make Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit. Section 6.14 of the Security Agreement
provides that additional Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become Subsidiary Parties
under the Security Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this
Supplement. The undersigned Restricted Subsidiary (the New Subsidiary) is executing this
Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Subsidiary Party

Issuers to issue additional Letters of Credit and as consideration for Loans previously made and
Letters of Credit previously issued.
Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 6.14 of the Security Agreement, the New Subsidiary by
its signature below becomes a Subsidiary Party (and accordingly, becomes a Grantor) and Grantor
under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a
Subsidiary Party and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the
Exhibit I-1
terms and provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Subsidiary Party and Grantor
thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a
Grantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the
foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the
Obligations does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien
on all of the New Subsidiarys right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in
the Security Agreement) of the New Subsidiary. Each reference to a Grantor in the Security
Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary and each reference to a Domestic Grantor
in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include any New Subsidiary that is a Domestic
Guarantor. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and
constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, fraudulent transfer,
preference or similar laws and by general principles of equity.
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto
on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken
together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the
Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of
the New Subsidiary, and the Collateral Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an
executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other electronic image
transmission (e.g. PDF or TIF via electronic mail) shall be as effective as delivery of a
manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.
SECTION 4. The New Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I
attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the location of any and all Collateral of the New
Subsidiary and (b) set forth under its signature hereto is the true and correct legal name of the
New Subsidiary, its jurisdiction of formation and the location of its chief executive office.
SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.
SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Security Agreement shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such
Exhibit I-2
provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations
to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic
effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.
SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as
provided in Section 6.01 of the Security Agreement.
SECTION 9. The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other
charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent.
Exhibit I-3
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Subsidiary and the Collateral Agent have duly executed this
Supplement to the Security Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

Party or any other Person on the Collateral (including, in each case, irrespective of whether any

other applicable law or the Second Priority Documents, or any defect or deficiency in, or failure
to attach or perfect any aspect or portion of any First Priority Lien, to the contrary, (ii) the
fact that any First Priority Lien may have been subordinated, voided, avoided, set aside,
invalidated or lapsed or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever, including a circumstance that
might be a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Grantor in respect of a First Priority Claim
or a Second Priority Claim or any holder of such claims, each of the Second Priority Collateral
Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second
Priority Secured Parties, hereby agrees that: (A) any Lien on the Collateral securing any First
Priority Claim now or hereafter held by the First Priority Secured Parties shall be senior in
priority in all respects to any Lien on the Collateral securing the Second Priority Claims; and (B)
any Lien on the Collateral now or hereafter securing any Second Priority Claim regardless of how or
when acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be
junior and subordinate in priority in all respects to all Liens on the Collateral securing the
First Priority Claims. All Liens on the Collateral securing the First Priority Claims shall be and
remain first in priority in all respects to all Liens on the Collateral securing the Second
Priority Claims for all purposes, whether or not such First Priority Liens are subordinated to any
Lien securing any other obligation of any Obligor.
2.2 Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each of the First Priority Collateral Agent and
the First Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other First Priority Secured
Parties, and each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative

(and hereby waives any right to) contest or support, directly or indirectly, any other Person in
contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding), the priority, validity,
perfection or enforceability of (a) the First Priority Claims or any Lien held by the First
Priority Secured Parties in the Collateral securing the First Priority Claims or (b) the Second
Priority Claims or any Liens by the Second Priority Secured Parties in the Collateral securing the
Second Priority Claims, as the case may be.
10
2.3 No New Liens. So long as the Discharge of First Priority Claims has not occurred,
the parties hereto agree that no Obligor shall (a) grant or permit any Lien on any asset or
property to secure any Second Priority Claim unless it has granted Liens on such asset or property
to secure the First Priority Claims; or (b) grant or permit any additional Lien on any asset to
secure any First Priority Claim unless it has granted a Lien on such asset to secure the Second
Priority Claims; provided that no Liens on the Tranche S Collateral Account (as defined in
the First Priority Credit Agreement) to secure any Second Priority Claim shall be required or
permitted hereunder. To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any
reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the First Priority Collateral
Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent and/or the First Priority Secured Parties, each of
the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of
itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that any amount received by or
distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this
Section 2.3 shall be subject to Section 4.2.
2.4 Nature of First Priority Obligations. Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent
and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority
Secured Parties, acknowledges that a portion of the First Priority Claims are revolving in nature
and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be
increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed without affecting the lien subordination or other
provisions of this Agreement.
Section 3. Enforcement.

(a) (i) So long as the Discharge of First Priority Claims has not occurred, whether or not any
Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Obligor, none of the Second Priority
Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent or any other Second Priority Secured
Party will (and each such Person hereby waives any right to) (A) exercise or seek to exercise any
rights or remedies (including the exercise of any right of setoff or any right under any lockbox
agreement, account control agreement, landlord waiver or bailees letter or similar agreement or
arrangement to which the Second Priority Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent

direct or provide direction or orders with respect to the Collateral or to any account bank,
securities intermediary or any other custodian as to the disposition of the asset or property on
deposit in, carried in or otherwise credited to any deposit accounts or securities accounts) with
respect to any Collateral, (B) institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or
remedies, including any action of foreclosure, any exercise of any right under any control
agreement in respect of a deposit account, securities account, security entitlement or other
investment property constituting Collateral (including, without limitation, any right to direct or
provide direction or orders with respect to the Collateral or to any account bank, securities
intermediary or other custodian as to the disposition of the asset or property on deposit in,

letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the
11
Second Priority Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent or any other Second
Priority Secured Party is a party, (C) exercise any other rights or remedies relating to the

other exercise of any right or remedy relating to the Collateral; and (ii) so long as the Discharge

credit bid or any right under any lockbox agreement, account control agreement, landlord waiver or
bailees letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Second Priority Collateral Agent
or any other Second Priority Secured Party is a party and including the exercise of any right to
direct or provide direction or orders with respect to the Collateral or to any account bank,

under the UCC and the bankruptcy laws of any applicable jurisdiction without the consent of or any
consultation with the Second Priority Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent or
any other Second Priority Secured Party; provided that with respect to clauses (i)
and (ii) above, (1) in any Insolvency Proceeding commenced by or against any Obligor, any
Second Priority Secured Party may file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Second
Priority Claims, (2) the Second Priority Collateral Agent may take any action not adverse to the
Liens on the Collateral securing the First Priority Claims or the rights of the First Priority
Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party
to exercise remedies in respect thereof in order to establish, preserve, or perfect its rights in
the Collateral, (3) any Second Priority Secured Party shall be entitled to (u) file any necessary
responsive or defensive pleading in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other
pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the Second
Priority Claims, including any claim secured by the Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, (v) file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which
assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Obligors arising under the
Bankruptcy Code (including exercising the right, if any, to file an involuntary petition against
any Obligor), any similar law or any applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case to the extent not
inconsistent with the other terms of this Agreement (it being understood that no Second Priority
Secured Party shall be entitled to assert any right or interest of an unsecured creditor (or
otherwise) that they would not be entitled to assert hereunder as a secured creditor, and,
specifically, that no Second Priority Secured Party shall be entitled to assert any right or
interest of an unsecured creditor (or otherwise), of any kind or nature, in respect of any Use of
Cash Collateral, DIP Financing or sale of any assets of an Obligor, in each case to which holders
of a majority of First Priority Claims have consented), (w) exercise any rights and remedies as an
unsecured creditor against the Borrower or any other Obligor in
12
accordance with the Second Priority Documents and applicable law, in each case to the extent not
inconsistent with the other terms of this Agreement (it being understood that no Second Priority
Secured Party shall be entitled to assert any right or interest of an unsecured creditor (or
otherwise) that they would not be entitled to assert hereunder as a secured creditor) and excluding
the filing of pleadings, objections, motions or agreements covered by the preceding clause (v) ,

for cash, and not by way of credit bid or otherwise) Collateral at any private or judicial
foreclosure upon such Collateral initiated by any secured party in respect thereof, (y) file any
notice of or vote any claim in any Insolvency Proceeding of any Obligor but solely in accordance
with Section 6.7 of this Agreement and (z) file any proof of claim and other filings,
appear and be heard on any matter in connection therewith and make any arguments and motions that
are, in each case, not inconsistent with the other terms of this Agreement, with respect to the
Second Priority Claims and the Collateral (it being understood that no Second Priority Secured
Party shall be entitled to assert any right or interest of an unsecured creditor (or otherwise)
that they would not be entitled to assert hereunder as a secured creditor) and excluding the filing
of pleadings, objections, motions or agreements covered by the preceding clause (v), and (4)
nothing herein shall be construed to limit or impair in any way the right of any Second Priority
Secured Party to receive any remaining Collateral and proceeds of Collateral after the Discharge of
First Priority Claims has occurred. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the
Collateral, the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or any
other First Priority Secured Party may enforce the provisions of the First Priority Documents and
exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the
exercise of their sole discretion except that, following the Discharge of First Priority Claims and
until the Discharge of Second Priority Claims has occurred, the Second Priority Collateral Agent,
the Second Priority Administrative Agent or the other Second Priority Secured Parties may enforce
the provisions of the Second Priority Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order
and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise
and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by the First Priority Collateral
Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent and the other First Priority Secured Parties (or,
following the Discharge of First Priority Claims and until the Discharge of Second Priority Claims
has occurred, the Second Priority Collateral Agent, the Second Priority Administrative Agent and
the other Second Priority Secured Parties) to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral upon
foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction and of a
secured creditor under bankruptcy or similar laws of any applicable jurisdiction.
(b) (i) Until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, each of the Second Priority
Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other
Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that it will not, in connection with the exercise of any
right or remedy (including the exercise of any right of setoff or any right under any lockbox
agreement, account control agreement, landlord waiver or bailees letter or similar agreement or
arrangement to which the Second Priority Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent
or any other Second Priority Secured Party is a party) with respect to any Collateral (but instead
shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and
13
unconditionally waived until after the Discharge of First Priority Claims any right to) take or
receive any Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (i), unless and
until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, except as expressly provided in the
proviso in clause (a) of Section 3.1, the sole right of the Second Priority
Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the other Second Priority
Secured Parties as secured parties with respect to the Collateral is to hold a perfected Lien
on the Collateral pursuant to the Second Priority Documents for the period and to the extent
granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of
First Priority Claims has occurred.
(c) Each of the Obligors agrees that it will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries
to, in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral by the
Second Priority Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent or any other Second
Priority Secured Party, transfer, deliver or pay, as applicable, to the Second Priority
Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent or any other Second Priority Secured
Party, any Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral unless and until the Discharge of First
Priority Claims has occurred.
(d) (i) Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority
Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees
that the Second Priority Secured Parties will not (and instead shall be deemed to have hereby
irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right to) take any action (other than as
provided in Section 3.1(a)) that would hinder or cause to delay any exercise of remedies
undertaken by the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or any
other First Priority Secured Party under the First Priority Documents as secured parties in respect
of any Collateral, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the
Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise.
(ii) Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative
Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably,
absolutely and unconditionally waives any and all rights it or the Second Priority Secured
Parties may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise (whether arising under the UCC or any
other law) to object to the manner (including by judicial foreclosure, non-judicial
foreclosure, strict foreclosure or otherwise) in which the First Priority Collateral Agent,
the First Priority Administrative Agent or the other holders of First Priority Claims seek to
enforce the Liens granted in any of the Collateral except that there shall be no waiver of the
obligation, if any, of the First Priority Collateral Agent or the First Priority
Administrative Agent to dispose of the Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner within
the meaning of any applicable UCC.
14
(e) Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority
Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, hereby
acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Second Priority
Collateral Documents or any other Second Priority Document (other than this Agreement) is intended
to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First
Priority Administrative Agent or the First Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral
as set forth in this Agreement and the First Priority Documents.
3.2 Cooperation. Subject to the proviso in Section 3.1(a), each of the Second
Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the
other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of First
Priority Claims has occurred, it will not, and shall be deemed to have waived any right to,
commence, or join with any Person in commencing any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or
foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it under any Second Priority
Document.
3.3 Notices of Default. Each of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the Second
Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent and the Second Priority
Administrative Agent will provide such information as it may have to the others as the others may
from time to time reasonably request concerning the status of the exercise of any enforcement
action against the Collateral, and each of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the Second Priority
Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent and the Second Priority Administrative
Agent shall be available on a reasonable basis during normal business hours to review with each
other alternatives available in exercising such rights; provided that the failure of any of
them to do any of the foregoing shall not affect the relative priorities of the First Priority
Liens or the Second Priority Liens as provided herein or the validity or effectiveness of any
notice or demand as against any Obligor. The Obligors hereby consent and agree to each of the First
Priority Collateral Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative
Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent providing any such information to the other and
to such actions by any of them and waives any right or claim against any of them arising as a
result of such information or actions.
Section 4. Payments.
4.1 Application of Proceeds.
(a) As long as the Discharge of First Priority Claims has not occurred, whether or not any
Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Obligor, the cash proceeds of Collateral
received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral
upon the exercise of remedies, shall, after payment of all outstanding fees, expenses (including
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), disbursements and indemnities of the First Priority
Collateral Agent, be delivered by the First Priority Collateral Agent to the First Priority
Administrative Agent for application against the First Priority Claims in such order as the First
Priority Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion and in accordance with the First
Priority Documents until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred. Upon the Discharge of
First Priority Claims, (i) the First Priority Administrative Agent shall promptly
15
deliver to the First Priority Collateral Agent (with copies to the Second Priority Collateral Agent
and the Second Priority Administrative Agent) a written notice stating that the Discharge of First
Priority Claims has occurred and (ii) promptly following receipt of such notice in clause
(i), the First Priority Collateral Agent or First Priority Administrative Agent, as applicable,
shall deliver at the joint and several cost of the Obligors, to the Second Priority Collateral
Agent for distribution to the Second Priority Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Second
Priority Secured Parties any proceeds of Collateral held by it in the same form as received, with
any necessary endorsement or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
(b) Following the Discharge of First Priority Claims and until the Discharge of Second
Priority Claims has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or
against any Obligor, the cash proceeds of Collateral received in connection with the sale or other
disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the exercise of remedies, shall, after
payment of all outstanding fees, expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel),
disbursements and indemnities of the Second Priority Collateral Agent, be delivered by the Second
Priority Collateral Agent to the Second Priority Administrative Agent for application against the
Second Priority Claims in such order as is specified in the Second Priority Documents until the
Discharge of Second Priority Claims has occurred.
4.2 Payments Over. Except as expressly provided in Section 6.8, so long as the
Discharge of First Priority Claims has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has
been commenced by or against any Obligor, any Collateral or proceeds thereof (including assets or
proceeds subject to Liens referred to in the final sentence of Section 2.3(a)) received by
the Second Priority Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent or any other Second
Priority Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off)
relating to the Collateral in contravention of this Agreement or any distribution received on
account of or by virtue of any Lien on the Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding (including any
distribution on account of or otherwise by virtue of any Lien on the Collateral under any Plan of
Reorganization) shall, be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the First
Priority Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties in the same form as
received, with any necessary endorsement, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise
direct. The First Priority Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsement as
agent for the Second Priority Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent or any
other Second Priority Secured Party. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Second Priority Claims shall not be reduced or satisfied by any amounts or distributions
required to be paid over to the First Priority Administrative Agent pursuant hereto.
Section 5. Other Agreements.
5.1 Releases.
(a) If, in connection with (i) the exercise of any remedies by the First Priority Collateral
Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party in respect of the Collateral provided for in
Section 3.1, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any such
16
Collateral or (ii) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral
(other than to another Obligor) permitted under the terms of the First Priority Documents and the
Second Priority Documents (in each case, as in effect on the date hereof), the First Priority
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other First Priority Secured Parties, releases any of
its Liens on any part of the Collateral, the Lien of the Second Priority Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Second Priority Secured Parties on such Collateral (but not on any proceeds of such
Collateral not required to be paid to the First Priority Secured Parties for application to the
First Priority Claims) shall be automatically and unconditionally released with no further consent
or action of any Person, and each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent the Second Priority
Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, shall
promptly execute and deliver, at the joint and several expense of the Obligors, to the First
Priority Collateral Agent and the First Priority Administrative Agent and the Obligors such
termination statements, releases and other documents as the First Priority Collateral Agent, the
First Priority Administrative Agent and the Obligors (in the case of the Obligors, to the extent
permitted by the First Priority Documents) may reasonably request to effectively confirm such
release at the joint and several expense of the Obligors.
(b) Until the Discharge of First Priority Claims occurs, each of the Second Priority
Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other
Second Priority Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the First Priority
Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the First Priority Collateral Agent, with full power
of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority
in the place and stead of such Person or in the First Priority Collateral Agents own name, from
time to time in the First Priority Collateral Agents discretion (as directed by the First Priority
Administrative Agent in writing), for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section
5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all releases, documents and
instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1,
including any financing statements, mortgage releases, intellectual property releases, endorsements
or other instruments of transfer or release.
5.2 Insurance.
(a) Unless and until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, the First Priority
Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent and the other holders of First Priority
Claims shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Obligors under the
First Priority Documents, to adjust settlement for any award under any insurance policy relating to
an insured loss in respect of Collateral and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or
similar proceeding affecting the Collateral. Following the Discharge of First Priority Claims and
until such time that the Discharge of Second Priority Claims has occurred, the Second Priority
Collateral Agent, the Second Priority Administrative Agent and the other holders of Second Priority
Claims shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Obligors under the
Second Priority Documents, to adjust settlement for any award under any insurance policy relating
to an insured loss relating to the Collateral and to approve any award granted in any condemnation
or similar proceeding affecting the Collateral.
17
(b) Unless and until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, all proceeds of any
such insurance policy and any such award if in respect to the Collateral shall, after payment of
all outstanding fees, expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), disbursements
and indemnities of the First Priority Collateral Agent, be delivered by the First Priority
Collateral Agent to the First Priority Administrative Agent for benefit of the First Priority
Secured Parties to the extent required under the First Priority Credit Agreement and pursuant to
the terms of the First Priority Documents; and thereafter, following the Discharge of First
Priority Claims and until the Discharge of Second Priority Claims has occurred, and after payment
of all outstanding fees, expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel),
disbursements and indemnities of the Second Priority Collateral Agent, be delivered by the Second
Priority Collateral Agent to the Second Priority Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Second
Priority Secured Parties to the extent required under the applicable Second Priority Documents; and
finally, to the owner of the subject property or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise
direct.
(c) Unless the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, if the Second Priority
Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent or any other Second Priority Secured
Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or
payment thereunder in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds, award or payment
over to the First Priority Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 4.2.
5.3 Amendments to Second Priority Documents, etc.
(a) Unless and until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, without the prior
written consent of the First Priority Administrative Agent (and the First Priority Collateral
Agent, to the extent an amendment, supplement or modification would affect its respective rights,
protections or obligations), no Second Priority Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the
terms of any new Second Priority Collateral Document, would be inconsistent with any of the terms
of this Agreement or the First Priority Documents.
(b) Each of the Second Priority Administrative Agent and the Second Priority Collateral Agent
agrees that each Second Priority Collateral Document granting a Lien on any Collateral shall
include the following language (or similar language satisfactory to the First Priority
Administrative Agent):
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest
granted to the Second Priority Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the
exercise of any right or remedy by the Second Priority Collateral Agent hereunder are
subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of September 30,
2011 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to
time, the Intercreditor Agreement), among UBS AG, Stamford Branch, in its
capacity as First Priority Collateral Agent, UBS AG, Stamford Branch, in its capacity
as First Priority Administrative Agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in its
capacity as Second Priority
18
Collateral Agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in its capacity as Second
Priority Administrative Agent, and the other parties thereto. In the event of any
conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms
of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.
(c) Unless and until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, in the event the
First Priority Collateral Agent or the First Priority Administrative Agent enters into any
amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any First Priority Collateral Document for the purpose
of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departure from any provision of,
any First Priority Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Priority
Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent, the other First Priority Secured Parties
or the Obligors thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any
comparable provision of each Comparable Collateral Document without the consent of the Second
Priority Collateral Agent, the Second Priority Administrative Agent or the Second Priority Secured
Parties and without any action by any of them or any Obligor; provided that (i) no such
amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (A) removing assets subject to the Lien of
the Second Priority Collateral Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is
permitted by Section 5.1 and provided there is a corresponding release of the Lien securing
the First Priority Claims, (B) imposing duties or adding liabilities on the Second Priority
Collateral Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party without its consent or (C) permitting
other Liens on the Collateral which are prohibited under the terms of the Second Priority Documents
or Section 6, (ii) any such amendment, waiver or consent that materially and adversely
affects the rights of the Second Priority Collateral Agent or any other Second Priority Secured
Party (and not the First Priority Secured Parties in a like or similar manner) shall not apply to
the Second Priority Collateral Documents without the consent of the Second Priority Collateral
Agent (acting at the written direction of the Second Priority Administrative Agent (itself acting
at the written direction of the requisite Second Priority Secured Parties in accordance with the
Second Priority Credit Agreement)), and (iii) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall
have been given by the First Priority Administrative Agent to the Second Priority Collateral Agent
(unless it is the same Person as the First Priority Collateral Agent), within 10 Business Days
after the effective date thereof; provided, further, that (x) nothing contained in
this clause (c) shall impair the rights of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First
Priority Administrative Agent and the holders of First Priority Claims, or the obligations and
agreements of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the other Second Priority Secured Parties,
under Sections 3 and 5.1 and (y) the First Priority Collateral Documents and the
Second Priority Collateral Documents may, without the consent of any Second Priority Secured Party,
be amended or modified pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) to secure additional extensions of
credit and add additional secured creditors as long as such amendments or modifications do not
violate the express provisions of any Second Priority Document.
(d) The First Priority Documents may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in
accordance with their terms and the First Priority Credit Agreement may be refinanced, in each
case, without notice to, or the consent of, the Second Priority Collateral Agent or the other
Second Priority Secured Parties, and in each case subject to the terms hereof, all without
affecting the lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement.
19
(e) Without the written consent of the First Priority Administrative Agent, none of the
Second Priority Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent or any other Second
Priority Secured Party will be entitled to agree (and none of them will agree) to any amendment to,
or modification of, or consent to any waiver of departure from, the Second Priority Documents,
whether in a refinancing or otherwise, that is prohibited by or in contravention of the First
Priority Documents as in effect on the date hereof or this Agreement.
(f) Unless and until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, the Second Priority
Secured Parties shall not consent to the release of any Second Priority Lien on any Collateral
without the written consent of the First Priority Administrative Agent, except for releases in
connection with the Discharge of Second Priority Claims (or a refinancing thereof) to the extent
permitted under the First Priority Credit Agreement or with respect to such Collateral for which
the First Priority Lien is also released.
5.4 Rights as Unsecured Creditors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, the Second Priority Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured
creditors against the Obligors in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Documents and
applicable law only to the extent set forth in the proviso of Section 3.1(a) hereof.
Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Second Priority Secured Party of any
payment of interest and principal on the Second Priority Claims, together with any reimbursable
fees and expenses and other amounts due in respect thereof, so long as such receipt is not (a) the
direct or indirect result of the exercise by any Second Priority Secured Party of rights and
remedies as a secured creditor in respect of the Second Priority Claims or enforcement of any
Second Priority Lien, in either case in contravention of this Agreement, or (b) a distribution in
any Insolvency Proceeding on account of or otherwise by virtue of any Second Priority Lien
(including any distribution on account of or otherwise by virtue of any Lien on the Collateral
under any Plan of Reorganization), other than as permitted by Section 6.8 hereof. In the event that
any Second Priority Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a
result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of the Second Priority
Claims, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement (including in relation
to the First Priority Liens and the First Priority Claims and including in relation to the Second
Priority Liens and Second Priority Claims) to the same extent as the other Liens securing the
Second Priority Claims (created pursuant to the Second Priority Collateral Documents) are subject
to the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement modifies any right or remedy the holders
of First Priority Claims or, after the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, the holders
of Second Priority Claims may have with respect to the Collateral.
5.5 Bailee and Agent for Perfection. The First Priority Collateral Agent hereby
acknowledges that, to the extent that it holds, or a third party holds on its behalf, physical
possession over Collateral pursuant to any of the First Priority Collateral Documents (any such
Collateral, as updated from time to time in accordance with the relevant Collateral Document, the
Bailment Collateral), such possession or control is also held as a bailee and agent for
perfection for, on behalf of and for the benefit of, the Second Priority Collateral Agent (as
collateral agent for the Second Priority Secured Parties), such bailment and agency for perfection
being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3),
8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC, and in each case solely to the extent required to perfect and
20
enforce their security interests in such Bailment Collateral. Nothing in the preceding sentence
shall be construed to impose any duty on the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority
Administrative Agent or any First Priority Secured Party (or any third party acting on their
behalf) with respect to such Bailment Collateral or provide the Second Priority Administrative
Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party with any
rights with respect to such Bailment Collateral beyond those specified in this Agreement or the
Second Priority Collateral Documents (it being understood that the First Priority Collateral
Agents duty under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding any such Collateral
as bailee and agent for perfection); provided that promptly following the Discharge of
First Priority Claims, the First Priority Collateral Agent (upon the written direction of the First
Priority Administrative Agent) shall deliver to the Second Priority Collateral Agent, at the
Obligors joint and several cost and expense, such Bailment Collateral in its possession together
with any necessary endorsements or direct and deliver such Collateral as a court of competent
jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
Section 6. Insolvency Proceedings.
6.1 Finance and Sale Issues.
(a) Until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, if any Obligor shall be subject
to any Insolvency Proceeding and the First Priority Administrative Agent shall desire to permit the
use of cash collateral (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) under
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (Use of Cash Collateral) or to permit an Obligor to
obtain financing, whether from the First Priority Secured Parties, any other Person, or any
combination thereof, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (DIP Financing), then each
of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of
itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that (i) it shall not be entitled to
raise (and will not raise), but instead shall be deemed to have otherwise irrevocably, absolutely,
and unconditionally waived any right to raise, any objection to such Use of Cash Collateral or DIP
Financing (and instead will be deemed to have consented to such Use of Cash Collateral or DIP
Financing), (ii) it shall not be entitled to request (and will not request) adequate protection or
any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly agreed by the First Priority
Administrative Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.2), and (iii) to the extent
the First Priority Liens are junior in priority to or pari passu with Liens granted in
connection with such Use of Cash Collateral or such DIP Financing (including adequate protection
Liens), the Second Priority Liens in the Collateral shall be maintained as junior in priority to
the First Priority Liens as contemplated hereunder and to such Liens granted in connection with
such Use of Cash Collateral or such DIP Financing on the same basis as the Second Priority Liens
are junior in priority to First Priority Liens under this Agreement. Without limiting the other
provisions of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 6.1(a) is intended to limit the ability of
the First Priority Secured Parties or the Second Priority Secured Parties to participate in,
support, or object to any Use of Cash Collateral or DIP Financing that does not involve the
Collateral. Each of the Lenders (as defined in the Second Priority Credit Agreement) agrees that
none of them shall offer to provide, administer or syndicate any DIP Financing to any Obligor
unless (i) the
21
application of the proceeds of such DIP Financing would result in the Discharge of the First
Priority Claims or (ii) consented to by the First Priority Administrative Agent.
(b) Until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, the Second Priority Secured
Parties, in any Insolvency Proceeding, shall not be entitled to oppose (and shall not oppose) (1)
any sale or disposition of any assets of any of the Obligors, or (2) any procedure governing sale
or disposition of any assets of any of the Obligors, in each case that is supported by the First
Priority Administrative Agent, and the Second Priority Secured Parties will be deemed to have
consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code to any sale, and any procedure for sale (and in
each case any motion in support hereof), supported by such First Priority Secured Parties and to
have released (and to have consented to the release of) their Liens in such assets so long as and
to the extent that (i) the First Priority Secured Parties shall have likewise released their Liens
and (ii) the First Priority Liens and the Second Priority Liens shall attach to the proceeds of any
Collateral sold or disposed of in the priorities set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, and
without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, in any Insolvency Proceeding, the Second
Priority Secured Parties irrevocably waive any right to object to any sale, or any procedure for
sale, or any motion for sale or for bid procedures regarding the sale, of any Collateral under
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code on the grounds of inadequate time for marketing of such asset,
inopportune time for sale of such asset (based on market conditions or otherwise), inadequate
purchase price/value to be received for such asset, or any expense reimbursement, break-up fee or
other condition or covenant contained in any stalking horse bid for such asset.
6.2 Adequate Protection. If and only if directed to do so by Second Priority Secured
Parties holding at least a majority of the principal amount of the Second Priority Claims, the
Second Priority Administrative Agent or the Second Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself
and the Second Priority Secured Parties, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a
Lien on any additional collateral as to which the First Priority Secured Parties have received
adequate protection in the form of a Lien (including by way of objecting to any DIP Financing that
does not provide for such Lien), which Lien will be junior in priority to the First Priority Liens
(including any adequate protection Lien in favor of the First Priority Secured Parties) and any
Lien securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the
other Liens securing the Second Priority Claims are junior in priority to the First Priority Liens
under this Agreement and subject in all respects to the release obligations set forth in this
Agreement, including in Section 5.1 and Section 6.1 hereof. If the Second Priority
Secured Parties are granted post-petition interest and/or adequate protection payments in an
Insolvency Proceeding (Junior Priority Bankruptcy Payments), such amounts shall
be deemed Collateral, shall be turned over to the First Priority Collateral Agent in accordance
with Section 4.2 hereof (or, following the Discharge of First Priority Claims and prior to
the Discharge of Second Priority Claims, to the Second Priority Collateral Agent) and shall be
applied according to the terms thereof (regardless of whether or not any order of a bankruptcy
court authorizing and/or directing any Junior Priority Bankruptcy Payments shall expressly provide
for such direct payment to the First Priority Collateral Agent or the Second Priority Collateral
Agent, as applicable).
22
6.3 No Waiver. Subject to Section 3.1(a), nothing contained herein shall
prohibit or in any way limit the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative
Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or
otherwise to any action taken by any Second Priority Secured Party, including the seeking by any
Second Priority Secured Party of adequate protection or the asserting by any Second Priority
Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Priority Documents or otherwise.
Subject to Section 3.1(a), following the Discharge of First Priority Claims, nothing
contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Second Priority Administrative Agent, the
Second Priority Collateral Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party from objecting in any
Insolvency Proceeding.
6.4 Reinstatement. If, in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, all or part of any
payment with respect to the First Priority Claims previously made shall be rescinded for any reason
whatsoever (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under the Bankruptcy
Code, or any similar law) (a Recovery), then the First Priority Claims shall be
reinstated to the extent of such Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to
such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior
termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of
the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. If any Second Priority Secured Party is
required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over any Recovery, then the Second
Priority Claims shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery. If this Agreement shall have
been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and
effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise
affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.
6.5 Post-Petition Interest. No Second Priority Secured Party shall oppose or seek to
challenge any claim by the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent
or any other First Priority Secured Party for allowance or payment in any Insolvency Proceeding of
the First Priority Claims consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of
the value of any First Priority Lien on the Collateral, without regard to the existence of the
Second Priority Liens on the Collateral, such value to be determined without regard to the
existence of the Second Priority Liens on the Collateral.
6.6 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each of the First
Priority Collateral Agent and the First Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the
other First Priority Secured Parties, and each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the
Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured
Parties, acknowledge and agree that:
(a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Priority Collateral Documents and the Second
Priority Collateral Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens; and
(b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the First
Priority Claims and the Second Priority Claims are fundamentally different from one another and
23
must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed or confirmed in an
Insolvency Proceeding.
To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence,
if it is held that, contrary to the intention of the parties, the claims of the First Priority
Secured Parties and/or the Second Priority Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute
only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of first priority and second priority secured
claims), then (i) each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to
Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate
classes of first priority and second priority secured claims against the Obligors in respect of the
Collateral and (ii) the First Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to
amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all
amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, including any additional interest payable
pursuant to the First Priority Documents, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed
as a claim in any Insolvency Proceeding, and reimbursement of all fees and expenses of the First
Priority Collateral Agents and the First Priority Administrative Agents respective attorneys,
financial consultants, and other agents) before any distribution is made in respect of or by virtue
of the Second Priority Liens, with each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second
Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties,
hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Priority Collateral Agent amounts
otherwise received or receivable by them in respect of or by virtue of the Second Priority Liens to
the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the
effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Secured Parties.
6.7 Voting for Plan of Reorganization. The First Priority Secured Parties and the
Second Priority Secured Parties, in each case in such capacity, shall be entitled to vote to accept
or reject any Plan of Reorganization in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding so long as such
Plan of Reorganization is a Conforming Plan of Reorganization and shall be entitled to vote to
reject any such Plan of Reorganization that is a Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization;
provided that each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority
Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees
that none of the Second Priority Secured Parties, in such capacity, shall be entitled to take any
action or vote in any way that supports any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization or to object to a
Plan of Reorganization to which the requisite holders of First Priority Claims have consented on
the grounds that any sale of Collateral thereunder or pursuant thereto is for inadequate
consideration, or that the sale process in respect thereof was inadequate. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing or of the other provisions of this Agreement, any vote to accept, and
any other act to support the confirmation or approval of, any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization
by any Second Priority Secured Party, in such capacity, shall be inconsistent with and accordingly,
a violation of the terms of this Agreement, and the First Priority Administrative Agent shall be
entitled (and hereby authorized by the Second Priority Secured Parties) to have any such vote to
accept a Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization changed and any such support of any such
Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization withdrawn.
6.8 X Clause. Notwithstanding Section 4.2 hereof or any other provision of
this Agreement, regardless of whether a Discharge of First Priority Claims shall occur in
connection
24
with a confirmed Plan of Reorganization, the Second Priority Secured Parties shall be permitted to
receive or retain any debt or equity securities or other obligations of the Obligors to be
distributed to them under any such confirmed Plan of Reorganization on account of or otherwise by
virtue of the Second Priority Liens on the Collateral (collectively, a Plan
Distribution), so long as (i) any lien granted on the Collateral (or any other assets of an
Obligor) to secure such Plan Distributions shall be junior in priority to any liens granted to
secure any Plan Distribution to the First Priority Secured Parties under any such Plan of
Reorganization on account of the First Priority Liens to the same extent as the Second Priority
Liens are junior in priority to the First Priority Liens on the Collateral hereunder and such liens
shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (or an analogous
agreement), and (ii) any Plan Distribution received by a Second Priority Secured Party shall not be
entitled to receive cash interest (but may accrue interest or contain pay-in-kind interest), any
Plan Distribution may not be subject to amortization, redemption or other principal or preference
paydown, in each case prior to the Discharge of First Priority Claims (including by way of full
payment of any Plan Distribution received by the First Priority Secured Parties); provided,
however, that, absent a Discharge of the First Priority Claims, any Plan Distribution received by a
Second Priority Secured Party under a Plan of Reorganization which the class of First Priority
Claims has voted to reject (and which was implemented despite such rejection), or which does not
satisfy the criteria set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, shall be turned over to the First
Priority Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 4.2.
6.9 Determination of Distributions on Account of Lien on Collateral. For the purposes
of this Agreement, including for the purposes of
Sections 4.2, 5.4, and 6.8 hereof,
there shall be a presumption that any distribution to or for the benefit of the Second Priority
Secured Parties under any Plan of Reorganization for any Obligor shall be on account of or by
virtue of the Second Priority Liens on the Collateral. Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent
and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority
Secured Parties, shall have the burden of rebutting that presumption, and of proving the portion
(if any) of any distribution under any Plan of Reorganization to, or for the benefit of, the Second
Priority Secured Parties that does not consist of proceeds of (or is not otherwise on account of or
by virtue of) such Lien on the Collateral, in each case by clear and convincing evidence.
6.10 Plan of Reorganization. Neither the Second Priority Administrative Agent nor any
other Second Priority Secured Party will sponsor, fund or otherwise facilitate, or support or vote
in favor of in an Insolvency Proceeding, any Plan of Reorganization that does not contemplate the
payment in full, in cash of the First Priority Claims upon the effective date of such Plan of
Reorganization unless the First Lien Administrative Agent shall have otherwise consented. Neither
the Second Priority Administrative Agent nor any other Second Priority Secured Party will raise or
support any objection to any Plan of Reorganization on the basis that the rate of interest payable
on any Plan Distribution to the First Priority Secured Parties is excessive or over-compensatory.
6.11 Turnover Provisions. If, in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding, a First
Lien Deficiency Claim exists and any Second Priority Secured Party receives a distribution (whether
in cash or in-kind) solely on account of its Second Lien Deficiency Claim out of property not
constituting Collateral or otherwise not subject to Section 4.2, Section 6.2 or Section 6.8 of the
Intercreditor Agreement (such amount, the Turnover Proceeds), then such
25
Second Priority Secured Partys interest in such Turnover Proceeds shall be subject and subordinate
to the First Lien Deficiency Claim until such First Lien Deficiency Claim shall have been paid in
full, and, subject to the immediately following proviso, such Second Priority Secured Party shall
segregate and hold in trust such Turnover Proceeds for the benefit of the First Priority Secured
Parties and shall forthwith pay over such Turnover Proceeds in the form received to the First
Priority Administrative Agent for application to the First Lien Deficiency Claim until the First
Lien Deficiency Claim shall have been paid in full; provided that, to the extent, and only to the
extent, required by the last paragraph of Section 4.09 of the Senior Note Documents, each Second
Priority Secured Party hereby agrees that (i) its Second Lien Deficiency Claim shall be subject and
subordinate to the Senior Note Obligations to the extent and in the same manner as its Second Lien
Deficiency Claim is subject and subordinate to the First Lien Deficiency Claim under this
paragraph, (ii) it shall, subject to the preceding provisions of this paragraph, segregate and hold
in trust Turnover Proceeds for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Note Obligations and (iii)
it shall, subject to the preceding provisions of this paragraph, forthwith pay over Turnover
Proceeds in the form received to the trustee(s) under the Senior Note Documents. The First Lien
Secured Parties and the Second Lien Secured Parties agree that the foregoing shall not be deemed to
restrict the Second Priority Secured Parties from acquiring or repaying and discharging in full
(other than out of Turnover Proceeds) the First Lien Deficiency Claim. For the avoidance of doubt,
nothing in this paragraph shall otherwise impact the rights of the First Priority Secured Parties
or the Second Priority Secured Parties to the Collateral, the proceeds of Collateral or any
property or distribution contemplated by Section 4.2, Section 6.2 or Section 6.8 above.
Section 7. Reliance; Waivers; etc.
7.1 Reliance. Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority
Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured Parties, acknowledges
that the Second Priority Secured Parties have, independently and without reliance on the First
Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or any other First Priority
Secured Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own
credit analysis and decision to enter into the Second Priority Credit Agreement, any other
applicable Second Priority Document, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby and they will continue to make their own credit decisions in taking or not taking any
action under the Second Priority Credit Agreement, any such other Second Priority Document or this
Agreement.
7.2 No Warranties or Liability. Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the
Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured Parties,
acknowledges and agrees that each of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority
Administrative Agent and the other holders of First Priority Claims have made no express or implied
representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality,
completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the First Priority Documents or the
ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Lien thereon. The holders of First
Priority Claims will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of
credit to the Obligors in accordance with applicable law and as they may otherwise, in their sole
discretion, deem appropriate, and the holders of First Priority Claims may manage
26
their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any right or interest that any Second
Priority Secured Party may have in the Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement. None of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative
Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party shall have any duty to any Second Priority Secured
Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or
continuance of an event of default or default under any agreement with any Obligor (including the
Second Priority Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged
with.
7.3 No Waiver of Lien Priorities.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, no right of the First Priority
Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent, the other First Priority Secured Parties
or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Obligor or by any act or
failure to act by any First Priority Secured Party, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the
terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement or any of the First Priority Documents or the
Second Priority Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the First Priority Collateral
Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or the other First Priority Secured Parties, or any
of them, may have or be otherwise charged with. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable
law, no right of the Second Priority Collateral Agent, the Second Priority Administrative Agent,
the other Second Priority Secured Parties or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement
shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of
any Obligor or by any act or failure to act by any Second Priority Secured Party, or by any
noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement or any of
the Second Priority Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Second Priority
Collateral Agent, the Second Priority Administrative Agent or the other Second Priority Secured
Parties, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.
(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the
rights of the Obligors under the First Priority Documents), the First Priority Secured Parties and
any of them may, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, at any time and from time to
time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Second Priority Secured Party, without incurring
any liability to any Second Priority Secured Party and without impairing or releasing the lien
priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other
right or remedy of any Second Priority Secured Party is affected, impaired or extinguished
thereby), do any one or more of the following:
(i) make loans and advances to any Obligor or issue, guaranty or obtain letters of
credit for account of any Obligor or otherwise extend credit to any Obligor, in any amount
and on any terms, whether pursuant to a commitment or as a discretionary advance and whether
or not any default or event of default or failure of condition is then continuing;
27
(ii) change the manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of
payment of, or renew, exchange, amend, increase or alter, the terms of any of the First
Priority Claims or any First Priority Lien or guaranty thereof or any liability of the
Obligors, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any
increase in or extension of the First Priority Claims), without any restriction as to the
amount, tenor or terms of any such increase or extension or otherwise amend, renew, exchange,
extend, modify or supplement in any manner any Liens held by the holders of First Priority
Claims, the First Priority Claims or any of the First Priority Documents;
(iii) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in
any manner and in any order any part of the Collateral or any liability of any Obligor to the
First Priority Secured Parties, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect
thereof;
(iv) settle or compromise any First Priority Claim or any other liability of any Obligor
or any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof
and apply any sum by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability (including the
First Priority Claims) in any manner or order; and
(v) exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy against any
Obligor or any security or any other Person, elect any remedy and otherwise deal freely with
the Obligors and the Collateral and any security or any liability of any Obligor to the
holders of First Priority Claims or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect
thereof.
(c) Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority
Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, also
agrees, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, that no First Priority Secured Party
shall have any liability to any of them, and each of them, to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable law, hereby waives any claim against any First Priority Secured Party, arising out of
any action which such holders of First Priority Claims may take or permit or omit to take with
respect to the foreclosure upon, or sale, liquidation or other disposition of, the Collateral. Each
of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of
itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that none of the First Priority
Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party
shall have any duty to them, express or implied, fiduciary or otherwise, in respect of the
maintenance or preservation of the Collateral, the First Priority Claims or otherwise.
(d) Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority
Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees not
to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request,
plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshaling, appraisal,
28
valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law or any other
similar right a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.
7.4 Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of
the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties hereunder shall remain
in full force and effect irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any First Priority Document or Second Priority
Document or any setting aside or avoidance of any First Priority Lien or Second Priority Lien;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, any First
Priority Claim or Second Priority Claim, or any amendment or waiver or other modification,
including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the
terms of the First Priority Documents or the Second Priority Documents;
(c) any exchange of any security interest in any Collateral or any other collateral, or any
amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise,
of any First Priority Claim or Second Priority Claim or any guarantee thereof;
(d) the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any Obligor; or
(e) any other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, any Obligor in respect of the First Priority Claims or Second Priority Claims or of
any First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party in respect of this Agreement.
Section 8. Miscellaneous.
8.1 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the
provisions of the First Priority Documents and the Second Priority Documents, the provisions of
this Agreement shall govern and control.
8.2 Continuing Nature of this Agreement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective
until the Discharge of First Priority Claims shall have occurred. This is a continuing agreement of
lien priority. Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative
Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably,
absolutely, and unconditionally waives any right it may have under applicable law to revoke this
Agreement or any provisions hereof.
8.3 Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed by the First
Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral
Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent and, subject to the immediately
29
following sentence, each Obligor and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to
the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such
waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other
time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Obligor shall have any right to consent to or approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent its
rights are directly affected (which includes any amendment to such Obligors ability to cause
additional obligations to constitute First Priority Claims or Second Priority Claims as such
Obligor may designate).
8.4 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Obligors and their
Subsidiaries.
(a) Each of the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties, as
separate groups of secured creditors, shall be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (i)
the financial condition of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries and all endorsers and/or guarantors
of the First Priority Claims or the Second Priority Claims and (ii) all other circumstances bearing
upon the risk of nonpayment of the First Priority Claims or the Second Priority Claims.
(b) None of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or
any other First Priority Secured Party shall have any duty to advise the Second Priority Collateral

information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstance or otherwise. In
the event the First Priority Collateral Agent or the First Priority Administrative Agent or any
other First Priority Secured Party undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such
information to any Second Priority Secured Party, it or they shall be under no obligation (i) to
provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion,
(ii) to undertake any investigation or (iii) to disclose any information which, pursuant to
accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential.
8.5 Certain Successors. Each successor First Priority Collateral Agent and Second
Priority Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver a counterpart of and become a party to this
Agreement (but the failure to execute such counterpart shall not diminish such Persons obligations
under this Agreement).
8.6 Application of Payments. All payments received by the holders of First Priority
Claims may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the First
Priority Claims as the holders of First Priority Claims, in their sole discretion, deem
appropriate. Following the Discharge of First Priority Claims and until the Discharge of Second
Priority Claims has occurred, all payments received by the holders of Second Priority Claims may be
applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the Second Priority Claims as
the holders of Second Priority Claims, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate.
8.7 Marshalling of Assets. Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second
Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured
30
Parties, hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waives any and all rights or powers
any Second Priority Secured Party may have at any time under applicable law or otherwise to have
the Collateral, or any part thereof, marshaled upon any foreclosure or other enforcement of the
First Priority Liens or the Second Priority Liens.
8.8 No Purchase Option in Favor of Second Priority Secured Parties. Without in any
manner limiting the other provisions of this Agreement (including as to the enforcement of the
rights, powers and/or remedies of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority
Administrative Agent or the other First Priority Secured Parties in and to the Collateral), nothing
herein is intended to grant the Second Priority Secured Parties the option to purchase the
aggregate amount (or any other portion) of the outstanding First Priority Claims, whether at par or
at any other price or under any other terms or conditions.
8.9 Notices. (a) All notices to the First Priority Secured Parties permitted or
required under this Agreement may be sent to the First Priority Administrative Agent (with a copy
to the First Priority Collateral Agent). All notices to the Second Priority Secured Parties
permitted or required under this Agreement may be sent to the Second Priority Administrative Agent
(with a copy to the Second Priority Collateral Agent). All notices to the Obligors permitted or
required under this Agreement may be sent to the Borrower. Unless otherwise expressly provided
herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including
by facsimile transmission or other electronic means). All such written notices shall be mailed,
faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or electronic mail address as set
forth below each partys name on the signature pages hereto, or, as to each party, at such other
address as may be designated by such party in a written notice to all of the other parties. All
such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to occur
of (i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by courier,
when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, four (4)
Business Days after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent
and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; and (D) if delivered by electronic mail, when

confirmation hereunder.
8.10 Further Assurances. Each of the First Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of
itself and the other First Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on
behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, and each Obligor, agrees that each
of them shall take such further action and shall execute and deliver such additional documents and
instruments (in recordable form, if requested) as any other party may reasonably request to effect
the terms of this Agreement (including, in the case of the First Priority Administrative Agent and
the Second Priority Administrative Agent, to direct the First Priority Collateral Agent and the
Second Priority Collateral Agent to do the same). Each of Holdings and the Borrower shall cause
each of its Subsidiaries that becomes an Obligor to execute and deliver a counterpart of and become
a party to this Agreement.
8.11 Governing Law. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
31
8.12 Binding on Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the First Priority Collateral Agent,
the First Priority Administrative Agent, the other First Priority Secured Parties (including to the
benefit of any successors to the First Priority Secured Parties by virtue of any refinancing), the
Second Priority Collateral Agent, the Second Priority Administrative Agent, the other Second
Priority Secured Parties (including to the benefit of any successors to the Second Priority Secured
Parties by virtue of any refinancing), and their respective successors and assigns. No other Person
shall have or be entitled to assert rights or benefits hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding
upon the Obligors and their successors and assigns; provided that no Obligor or any successor or
assign thereof shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement (other than any
provision hereof expressly preserving any right of any Obligor under any First Priority Document or
Second Priority Document).
8.13 Specific Performance. Each of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First
Priority Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority
Administrative Agent may demand specific performance of this Agreement. Each of the Second Priority
Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other
Second Priority Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a
remedy at law and any other defense which might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific
performance in any action which may be brought by the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First
Priority Administrative Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party (other than the defense
that the obligation for which specific performance is being sought has been performed in accordance
with this Agreement). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of the other provisions
of this Agreement, in seeking specific performance in any Insolvency Proceeding, the First Priority
Collateral Agent and the First Priority Administrative Agent may seek such relief as if it were the
holder of the claims of the Second Priority Secured Parties under Section 1126(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code or otherwise had been granted an irrevocable power of attorney by the Second
Priority Secured Parties.
8.14 Section Titles; Time Periods. The section titles contained in this Agreement are
and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of
this Agreement.
8.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement
shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.
8.16 Authorization. By its signature, each Person executing this Agreement on behalf
of a party hereto represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that it is duly authorized to
execute this Agreement.
8.17 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered
by the parties listed below. This Agreement shall be effective both before and after the
commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding. Consistent with, but not in limitation of, the preceding
sentence, each of the First Priority Collateral Agent and the First Priority Administrative Agent,
on behalf of itself and the other First Priority Secured Parties, and each of
32
the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of
itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, irrevocably acknowledges that this Agreement
constitutes a subordination agreement within the meaning of both New York law and Section 510(a)
of the Bankruptcy Code. All references to any Obligor shall include any Obligor as debtor and
debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Obligor (as the case may be) in any
Insolvency Proceeding.
8.18 Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are
and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the First Priority
Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties as separate groups of secured creditors.
Neither the Borrower nor any other Obligor (including any Guarantor) or any other creditor thereof
shall have any right hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the
obligations of the Borrower or any other Obligor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the
First Priority Claims and the Second Priority Claims as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with their terms. Each provision hereunder applicable to the First Priority
Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties shall be applicable to, and binding upon
them, solely in their respective capacities as such.
8.19 Exclusive Means of Exercising Rights under this Agreement. The First Priority
Secured Parties shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the First Priority Administrative
Agent as their exclusive agent hereunder. The Second Priority Secured Parties shall be deemed to
have irrevocably appointed the Second Priority Administrative Agent as their exclusive agent
hereunder. Consistent with such appointment, (a) the First Priority Secured Parties further shall
be deemed to have agreed that only the First Priority Administrative Agent (and not any individual
claimholder or group of claimholders) as agent for the First Priority Secured Parties, or any of
the First Priority Administrative Agents agents (including the First Priority Collateral Agent)
shall have the right on their behalf to exercise any rights, powers, and/or remedies under or in
connection with this Agreement (including bringing any action to interpret or otherwise enforce the
provisions of this Agreement); provided that (i) First Priority Secured Parties holding obligations
in respect to obligations in respect of hedging agreements may exercise customary netting rights
with respect thereto, (ii) cash collateral may be held pursuant to the terms of the First Priority
Documents (including any relating to hedging agreements) and any such individual First Priority
Secured Party may act against such cash collateral, and (iii) First Priority Secured Parties may
exercise customary rights of setoff against depository or other accounts maintained with them; and
(b) the Second Priority Secured Parties further shall be deemed to have agreed that only the Second
Priority Administrative Agent (and not any individual claimholder or group of claimholders), as the
agent of the Second Priority Secured Parties, or any of the Second Priority Administrative Agents
agents (including the Second Priority Collateral Agent) shall have the right on their behalf to
exercise any rights, powers, and/or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement (including
bringing any action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement).
Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each First Priority Secured
Party or group of First Priority Secured Parties and each Second Priority Secured Party or group of
Second Priority Secured Parties shall not be entitled to take or file, but instead shall be
precluded from taking or filing (whether in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise), any action,
judicial or otherwise, to enforce any right or power or pursue any remedy under this Agreement
(including any declaratory judgment or other action to
33
interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement), except solely as provided in the
proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.
8.20 Right of First Priority Collateral Agent to Continue. Any Person serving as First
Priority Collateral Agent shall be entitled to continue, including to continue to perform his, her
or its rights, obligations and duties, as the First Priority Collateral Agent, notwithstanding
whether any such Person has served or is serving as the Second Priority Collateral Agent. Without
limiting the generality of the preceding sentence of this Section 8.20, any Person serving
as First Priority Collateral Agent shall be entitled to continue to so serve in such capacity
(including to continue to perform any of such First Priority Collateral Agents rights,
obligations, and/or duties) even if any such Person has resigned as the Second Priority Collateral
Agent, but such resignation has not become effective for any reason, including because a successor
Second Priority Collateral Agent has not been appointed or has accepted such appointment, without
any liability to any of the Second Priority Secured Parties by virtue of any such resignation and
any of the circumstances relating in any manner whatsoever to such resignation.
8.21 Interpretation. This Agreement is a product of negotiations among representatives
of, and has been reviewed by counsel to, each of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the Second
Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent, the Second Priority
Administrative Agent and each Obligor and is the product of those Persons on behalf of themselves
and the First Priority Secured Parties (in the case of the First Priority Administrative Agent) and
the Second Priority Secured Parties (in the case of the Second Priority Administrative Agent).
Accordingly, this Agreements provisions shall not be construed against, or in favor of, any party
or other Person merely by virtue of the extent of that party or other Persons involvement, or lack
of involvement, in the preparation of this Agreement and of any of its specific provisions.
8.22 Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING
ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS
OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED
THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF
SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF
AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH PARTY
HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON
THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED
THERETO.
8.23 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL
34
TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE
TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER
FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH
CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT
ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 8.23
WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
8.24 Bond Conversion Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
on and after the Consummation Date, (i) any references to the Second Priority Credit Agreement
shall be replaced by the trust indenture entered into by the Borrower on the Consummation Date and
(ii) this Agreement shall be automatically amended mutatis mutandis to reflect the continuation or
replacement of the second priority liens of the lenders under the Second Priority Credit Agreement
with the second priority liens of the trustee on behalf of the bondholders under the trust
indenture entered into by the Borrower on the Consummation Date.
8.25 No Contest. Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority
Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees
that none of them shall contest, in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, the enforceability of
any provision of this Agreement.
