If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. It is understood and agreed that any recharacterization of an accounting entry or term shall be permitted hereunder so long as the action relating to or underlying the entry or item as so recharacterized would have been permitted if it had originally been characterized in such manner.
1.04    Times of Day; Time for Payment and Performance. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable). When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on (or before) a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of “Interest Period”) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

1.05    Resolution of Drafting Ambiguities. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it was represented by counsel in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, that it and its counsel reviewed and participated in the preparation and negotiation of the Loan Documents and that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Loan Documents.
1.06    Currency Equivalents Generally. Any amount specified in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be in Dollars shall also include the equivalent of such amount in any currency other than Dollars, such equivalent amount thereof in the applicable currency to be determined by the Administrative Agent at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate (as defined below) for the purchase of such currency with Dollars. For purposes of this Section 1.06, the “Spot Rate” for a currency means the rate determined by the Administrative Agent to be the rate quoted by the Person acting in such capacity as the spot rate for the purchase by such Person of such currency with another currency through its principal foreign exchange trading office at approximately 11:00 a.m. on the date two Business Days prior to the date of such determination; provided that the Administrative Agent may obtain such spot rate from another financial institution designated by the Administrative Agent if the Person acting in such capacity does not have as of the date of determination a spot buying rate for any such currency.
1.07    Certifications; Provision of Information. All provisions of information, presentations, statements and certifications to be made hereunder by a director, officer or other representative of a Loan Party or other Subsidiary shall be made by such a Person in his or her capacity solely as an officer or a representative of such Loan Party or other Subsidiary, on such Loan Party’s or such Subsidiary’s behalf and not in such Person’s individual capacity, and without personal liability. Certifications; Compliance with Article VII In the event that any Lien, Investment, Indebtedness (whether at the time of incurrence or upon application of all or a portion of the proceeds thereof), Asset Sale, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction, restrictive agreement or prepayment of Indebtedness meets the criteria of one or more than one of the categories of transactions then permitted pursuant to the applicable Section in Article VII, such transaction (or portion thereof) at any time shall be permitted under one or more of such clauses as determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion at such time.
THE COMMITMENTS AND BORROWING OF LOANS
2.01    Commitment to Lend Loans.
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Bankruptcy Court Order, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make, on the applicable Credit Date, loans to the Borrowers in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment. The Borrowers may request up to three (3) advances under the Commitments, of which (i) the first shall be made on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000 (the “Initial Loan”) and (ii) the second shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 or any multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Loans advanced hereunder exceed $450,000,000. Upon the making of the third Loan hereunder,

-32-



all remaining Commitments shall immediately and automatically terminate. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
(b)    Each Initial Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Prepetition Term B-4 Lender shall be entitled to participate in the Term Facility in an amount equal to such Prepetition Term B-4 Lender’s pro rata share of the aggregate Commitments (determined on the basis of the principal amount of Prepetition B-4 Term Obligations held by such Prepetition Term B-4 Lender as of a date to be determined by the Administrative Agent as compared to the principal amount of Prepetition B-4 Term Obligations held by all Prepetition Term B-4 Lenders as of such date). The Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Initial Lenders agree to reasonably cooperate to effectuate such participation promptly following the Closing Date, including by facilitating the assignment by the Initial Lenders and assumption by electing Prepetition Term B-4 Lenders, pursuant to a master Assignment and Assumption substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of ratable portions of (i) the Initial Loan, for a purchase price equal to par less the ratable portion of the Upfront Fee, and (ii) the remaining, unfunded Commitments. For the avoidance of doubt, the Prepetition Term B-4 Lenders shall not be entitled to share in the Backstop/Structuring Fee and shall not be entitled to purchase any portion of the Initial Loan unless they shall assume a ratable portion of the remaining, unfunded Commitments. Interest and Commitment Fees accrued on the Initial Loan and the undrawn Commitments from the Closing Date through and including the date of any assignment to a Prepetition Term B-4 Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account and benefit of the applicable assigning Initial Lender.
2.02    Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.
(a)    The borrowing of Loans, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent. Such notices may be provided by a Borrowing or Conversion Notice; provided that each such notice (x) in respect of a Borrowing must be received by no later than 3:00 p.m. on the date that is five (5) (or, in the case of the Initial Loans, the same Business Day of the requested date of such Borrowing and (y) in respect of a continuation or conversion of Loans, must be received by no later than 3:00 p.m. on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of such conversion or continuation. Each Borrowing or Conversion shall specify (i) in the case of a conversion or continuation, whether the Borrower is requesting a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other or a continuation of Eurodollar 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 of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued and (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Borrowing or Conversion Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base

-33-



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 Eurodollar Rate Loans.
(b)    Following receipt of a Borrowing or Conversion Notice with respect to the initial borrowing of any Loan, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of such Loan. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available (net, in the case of the Initial Loan, of fees owing pursuant to Section 2.07) to the Administrative Agent in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Borrowing or Conversion Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.
(c)    Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless the Borrower pays breakage costs incurred in connection with such conversion and required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.05 of which it has been notified. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.
(d)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the applicable Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
2.03    Prepayments.
(a)    Optional. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to Section 2.03(g), voluntarily prepay the Loans in whole or in part (and such prepayment shall be applied to any Type of Loan as directed by the Borrower) at any time without premium or penalty (other than payment by the Borrower of a prepayment premium equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of Loans prepaid); provided that (A) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1.0 million or a whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; (B) 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, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall be in the form of Exhibit A-2, shall be given in accordance with Section 2.03(g) and shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid; and (C) no prepayment premium shall be due in connection with a repayment of the Loans as a result of the occurrence of the Maturity Date (as defined in clauses (i)-(iv), but not clauses (v) or (vi), thereof). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such

-34-



prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall be committed to 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 Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
(b)    Asset Sales. Following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale after the Closing Date, (x) at the option of the Borrower pursuant to a written notice of reinvestment delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for its business within 90 days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that (1) if the assets subject to such Asset Sale constituted Term Priority Collateral, such reinvestment may not be made in assets other than non-current assets constituting Term Priority Collateral (2) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be permitted to make any such reinvestments (other than pursuant to a legally binding commitment that the Borrower entered into at a time when no Event of Default existed or was continuing), and (3) if the assets subject to such Asset Sale constituted Geoffrey Collateral, such reinvestment may only be in assets constituting Geoffrey Collateral and ((y) other than the Net Cash Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral, to the extent applied as required by the ABL Credit Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement, or to repay obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement (provided that Net Cash Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral other than Inventory shall be subject to this clause (y) to the extent not prohibited under the ABL Credit Agreement), (A) any Net Cash Proceeds not reinvested shall be applied to the prepayment of the Loans on a ratable basis within five (5) Business Days, and (B) any remaining Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale on the last day of such 90-day period specified in clause (x) shall be applied to the prepayment of the Loans on a ratable basis.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such prepayment shall be required under this Section 2.03(b) with respect to (A) Extraordinary Receipts; and (B) Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale by (1) a Foreign Subsidiary of the Borrower except to the extent that any such proceeds are repatriated to the United States (such amount to be net of an amount equal to the additional taxes of Holdings, the Borrower or its Subsidiaries that would be payable or reserved against as a result of such repatriation, as reasonably determined by the Borrower in consultation with the Administrative Agent), which the Loan Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to occur as soon as possible without causing adverse tax consequences or (2) Geoffrey International LLC unless and to the extent that such proceeds are dividended, loaned or otherwise transferred to a Loan Party.
(c)    Debt Issuance or Disqualified Capital Stock Issuance. Promptly following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of any Debt Issuance after the Closing Date or any issuance by any Loan Party of Disqualified Capital Stock after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall apply 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to the ratable repayment of Loans.
(d)    Extraordinary Receipts. Promptly following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Extraordinary Receipts, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to repair, replace, refurbish or restore any property in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid or to reinvest in other fixed or capital assets (provided that (1) if such Extraordinary Receipts are in respect of Real Property, such reinvestment may not be made in assets other than Real Property; and (2) if such Extraordinary Receipts are in respect of Term Priority Collateral, such reinvestment may not be made in assets other than assets will, upon such reinvestment become Term Priority Collateral within (x) six (6) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if the Borrower enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within six (6)

-35-



months following receipt thereof, within 90 days of the date of such legally binding commitment; provided that (i) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be permitted to make any such reinvestments (other than pursuant to a legally binding commitment that the Borrower entered into at a time when no Event of Default existed or was continuing) and (ii) if any Net Cash Proceeds cannot be so reinvested during the periods described above, an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on the last day of such period to the ratable prepayment of the Loans.
(e)    On the date of receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of cash proceeds from a capital contribution to, or the issuance of any Equity Interests of, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than issuances of Equity Interests by a Subsidiary to the Borrower and capital contributions by the Borrower to a Subsidiary), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Loans equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom no later than five Business Days following receipt thereof by such Person.
(f)    [Reserved].
(g)    Notice of Prepayment. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by written notice of any voluntary prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, two Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be in the form of Exhibit A-2 and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice of voluntary prepayment shall be revocable; provided that, within 5 Business Days of receiving a written demand for such reimbursement which sets forth the calculation of breakage costs incurred and payable pursuant to Section 3.05 in reasonable detail, the Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders for such breakage costs associated with the revocation of any notice of prepayment. Each mandatory prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing and otherwise in accordance with this Section 2.03. Each optional prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied among the Types of Borrowings as directed by the Borrower and otherwise in accordance with this Section 2.03. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.06.
2.04    Termination of Commitments. The Commitments of each Lender shall automatically be reduced on each Credit Date (to the extent of the borrowing of the Loans on such date) and shall otherwise expire in full on the earlier to occur of (I) the date the third Loan is made hereunder (after giving effect to the funding thereof) and (II) 30 days prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to clause (i) of the definition thereof.
2.05    Repayment of Loans. Upon the Maturity Date or earlier, if otherwise required by the terms hereof, (i) the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon (together with any fees and expenses earned, due and payable therewith, including without limitation, any such fees or expenses earned, due and payable under Section 2.07, Section 10.04 and Section 10.05), and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall apply such funds to repay each Lender in the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of the remaining amount (based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share in respect of the Term Facility.

-36-



2.06    Interest.
(a)    Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, each Loan that is a (i) Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal or interest on any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Section 2.06(a) or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans as provided in Section 2.06(a) (in either case, the “Default Rate”).
(c)    Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.06(b) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. Interest 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.
2.07    Fees.
(a)    Administrative Agent Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee Letter.
(b)    Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders an undrawn line fee in an amount equal to 2.0% per annum of the aggregate amount of the undrawn Commitments, as in effect from time to time. Such fee shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.
(c)    Upfront Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Initial Lender an upfront fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the Commitment of such Lender immediately prior to the making of the Initial Loans on the Closing Date (the “Upfront Fee”). The Borrower and each Lender agree that on the Closing Date, the Lenders shall fund the Initial Loan in the principal amount of $350,000,000 net of (i) the entirety of such fee and (ii) the Backstop/Structuring Fee, notwithstanding that the full amount of the Commitment shall not have been drawn as of the Closing Date. Such fees shall be earned, due and payable on the Closing Date.
(d)    Backstop/Structuring Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Initial Lender, in consideration of arranging and committing to

-37-



fund its portion of the entirety of the Term Facility, a backstop/structuring fee in an amount equal to 3.25% of the Commitment of such Lender immediately prior to the making of the Initial Loans on the Closing Date (the “Backstop/Structuring Fee”). Such fee shall be earned, due and payable on the Closing Date.
2.08    Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans including Base Rate Loans (determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made or continued or converted from a Loan of another Type, 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 2.10(a), bear interest for one day. Any change in the interest rate in a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
2.09    Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a)    The Loans, and the principal and interest due with respect thereto, made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans 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.
(b)    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, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

-38-



2.10    Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
(a)    General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. 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 Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 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.
(b)    (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then each of the applicable Lender and the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by 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 and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans of the Type comprising such Borrowing. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(i)    Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at

-39-



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 notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(c)    Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. 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 Section 2.10, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the Loans 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.
(d)    Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) 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 or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).
(e)    Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
(f)    Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of Loans then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of Loans then due to such parties.
2.11    Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its Pro Rata Share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share; provided that:
(i)    if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest;
(ii)    the provisions of this section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant,

-40-



other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which, subject to clause (iii) below, the provisions of this section shall apply); and
(iii)    the provisions of this section shall not apply to any assignment made pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 10.06(b).
Subject to the provisions of Section 10.06(d), each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.
2.12    [Reserved].
2.13    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    Waivers and Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided, however, that if the applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable Law to deduct, or an Agent or a Lender shall be required to remit, any Taxes from such payments, then (i) in the case of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or remittances for such Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) have been made, the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or remittances been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
(c)    Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Subject to and without limiting the preceding sentence, if the Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, each Lender will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such taxes so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to it; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.01 for any amounts incurred in any fiscal year for which such Lender is claiming compensation if such Lender does not furnish notice of such claim within six months from the end of such fiscal year; provided, further, that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect (e.g., in connection with the audit of a prior tax year), then the beginning of such six-month period shall be extended to include such period of retroactive effect. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-42-



(d)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e)    Status of Lenders. (i) Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by Law, or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, certifying as to any applicable entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, any withholding Tax (including backup withholding) or with respect to information reporting requirements with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under the Loan Documents. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation expired, obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable withholding agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to do so.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A)    Each Lender that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.
(B)    Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when required by Law or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)    two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms),
(2)    two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),
(3)    in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit G (any such certificate a

-43-



United States Tax Compliance Certificate”), or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent, to the effect that such Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments in connection with the Loan Documents are effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (y) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms),
(4)    to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership, or is a Lender that has granted a participation), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W‑8BEN-E, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY (or other successor forms) or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate shall be provided by such Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner(s)), or
(5)    any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made (including, in the case of any Lender claiming exemption from withholding under FATCA, any documentation required to comply with such exemption); provided that, the completion, execution and submission of such form or documentation (other than in the case of a Lender claiming exemption from withholding under FATCA) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.
(f)    Should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder (including any documentation necessary to prevent withholding under FATCA), the Loan Parties shall, at such Lender’s expense, take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.
(g)    If any Loan Party shall be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Agent or Lender to the extent that such Agent or Lender becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if applicable, subsequent to the date such Person becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of any change in the

-44-



circumstances of such Agent or Lender (other than a change in Applicable Law), including without limitation a change in the residence, place of incorporation, principal place of business of such Agent or Lender or a change in the branch or Lending Office of such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, such Agent or Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section 3.01; provided, however, that such efforts shall not include the taking of any actions by such Agent or Lender that would result in any tax, costs or other expense to such Agent or Lender (other than a tax, cost or other expense for which such Agent or Lender shall have been reimbursed or indemnified by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) or any action which would or might in the reasonable opinion of such Agent or Lender have an adverse effect upon its business, operations or financial condition or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Agent or Lender.
(h)    If any Lender or Agent reasonably determines that it has actually and finally realized, by reason of a refund, deduction or credit of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been paid or reimbursed by the Loan Parties pursuant to subsection (a) or (c) above in respect of payments under the Loan Documents, a current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have obtained and that would result in the total payments under this Section 3.01 exceeding the amount needed to make such Lender or Agent whole, such Lender or Agent shall pay to the Borrower, with reasonable promptness following the date upon which it actually realizes such benefit, an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such benefit or the amount of such excess, in each case net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred in securing such refund, deduction or credit and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund net of any Taxes payable by any Lender or Agent on such interest).
(i)    If a payment made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding under FATCA if such Administrative Agent or Lender were to fail to comply with the information reporting requirements of FATCA, such Administrative Agent or Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by FATCA and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine Lenders’ compliance under FATCA (or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment). Solely for purposes of this paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(j)    The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.
3.02    Change in Legality.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if any Change in Law occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a Eurodollar Rate Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower, such Lender may (x) declare that Eurodollar Rate Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Rate Loan

-45-



shall, unless withdrawn, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and (y) require that all outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender be converted to Base Rate Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in Section 2.02. In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights hereunder, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Rate Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Base Rate Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Rate Loans.
(b)    For purposes of this Section 3.02, a notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.02(a) above shall be effective, if lawful, and if any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall then be outstanding, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period; and otherwise such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.
3.03    Alternate Rate of Interest for Loans. If, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent:
(a)    reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate (in accordance with the terms of the definitions thereof) for such Interest Period; or
(b)    is advised by the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent shall deliver promptly upon obtaining knowledge of the same), (i) any Borrowing or Conversion Notice that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Rate Loan, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans unless withdrawn by the Borrower.
3.04    Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.
(a)    Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate); or

-46-



(ii)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost in any material amount in excess of that incurred by similarly situated lenders to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to reduce the amount in any material respect of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 3.04 and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04, or Section 3.02 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04, or Section 3.02 for any increased costs or reductions (or other compensation provided in such Sections) incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law or other applicable circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefore and provided, further, that if the Change in Law or other applicable circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
3.05    Compensation for Losses. The Borrower shall promptly reimburse any Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it in the reemployment of funds resulting from:
(a)    any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

-47-



(b)    any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan or the failure of the Lender to deliver any notice pursuant to Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower.
Such loss shall be the amount as reasonably determined by such Lender as the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on the amount so paid, not prepaid or not borrowed at a rate of interest equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan (but specifically excluding any Applicable Rate) for the period from the date of such payment or failure to borrow or failure to prepay to the last day (x) in the case of a payment or refinancing of a Eurodollar Rate Loan with Base Rate Loans other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan or the failure to prepay a Eurodollar Rate Loan, of the then current Interest Period for such Loan or (y) in the case of such failure to borrow, of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, over (B) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the London interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.05 and the manner in which such amount was determined shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent). The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.
3.06    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    Designation of Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 or cannot make Loans under Section 3.02, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be liable for such costs and expenses of a Lender requesting compensation if (i) such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement on a date after the Closing Date and (ii) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto.
(b)    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.
3.07    Survival. Each Party’s obligations under this Article III shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the

-48-



replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations hereunder.

5.14    Labor Matters. There are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Loan Party pending or, to the actual knowledge of any Responsible Officer of any Loan Party, threatened, except to the extent that strikes, lockouts or slowdowns would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

-55-



recognition which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Loan Party is bound to the extent that such would be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

To the knowledge of each Loan Party, no claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor to the knowledge of each Loan Party does the use of such Intellectual Property by each Loan Party infringe the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements disclosed on Schedule 5.06(a) or that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)    shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and
(c)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.02 and 10.01) or (ii) except to the extent of any liability imposed by law by reason of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. An Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document (except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or under the Loan Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to

the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral 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 as used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
9.05    Reliance by the Administrative Agent.
(a)    Each Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents an Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the requesting Agent shall be absolutely entitled as between itself and the Lenders to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Lender for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of an Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other applicable portion of the Lenders), an Agent shall have no obligation to any Lender to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action would violate Applicable Law or exposes an Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.4(c).
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
9.06    Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of their duties and exercise their rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative

-90-



Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities of the Administrative Agent.
9.07    Resignation of the Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States, which appointment shall be subject to approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) by the Borrower. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment and shall have been approved by the Borrower (where such approval is required) within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent (which shall also be a Lender) meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance and approval (if applicable) of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security Documents such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.07). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 9.07 and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.
9.08    Non-Reliance on the Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Agents nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Lender. Each Lender further represents and warrants to the Agents that it has had the opportunity to review each document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof. Each Lender represents to the Agents that, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or

-91-



any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will make, its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, it has made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement and it will make its own decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. Each Lender represents to the Agents that (i) it is a bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings institution, insurance company, investment fund or company or other financial or investment institution which makes or acquires commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it is participating hereunder as a Lender for such commercial purposes and (ii) it has the knowledge and experience to be and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of being a Lender hereunder. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(c) applicable to the Lenders hereunder. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Agents may use an outside service provider for the tracking of all UCC financing statements required to be filed pursuant to the Loan Documents and notification to the Agents of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that any such service provider will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider.
9.09    No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Agent shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or a Lender hereunder, as applicable, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, 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 Agents.
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 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 any Loan Party) 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 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 Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Sections 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,

-92-



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 Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(g), 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.
9.11    Collateral and Guarantee Matters.
(a)    Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into (x) the Security Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties and (y) any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to the Security Documents in accordance with the terms hereof or such Security Document. Each Lender hereby agrees, except as otherwise set forth herein, that any action taken by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents and the exercise by the Agents or the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected security interests in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or to realize upon any Collateral for the Loans unless instructed to do so by the Collateral Agent, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders).
(b)    The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
(i)    to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by an Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to unasserted claims), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to a Person that is not a Loan Party, (iii) in accordance with the requirements of the Intercreditor Agreements, (iv) to the extent constituting Excluded Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) or (v) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

-93-



(ii)    to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by an Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(h);
(iii)    to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary of a Loan Party as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; provided that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of any other Indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Loan Party unless and until such Guarantor is (or is being simultaneously) released from its guarantee with respect to such other Indebtedness; and
(iv)    subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, to take such actions, including making filings and entering into agreements and any amendments or supplements to any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement, as may be necessary or desirable to reflect the intent of this Agreement and the refinancing of any Indebtedness permitted hereunder; provided that upon request by the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to enter into such agreements, amendments or supplements.
(c)    No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to any Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agents in this Section 9.11 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, each Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given such Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as Lender (if any) and that no Agent shall have any duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(d)    The Collateral Agent may, and hereby does, appoint the Administrative Agent as its agent for the purposes of holding any Collateral and/or perfecting the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein and for the purpose of taking such other action with respect to the Collateral as such Agents may from time to time agree.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 9.11.
9.12    Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may deduct or withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not

-94-



properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by Borrower pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04 and without limiting any obligation of Borrower to do so pursuant to such Sections) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise (including any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, and interest), together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.12. The agreements in this Section 9.12 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement

The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Agent and each Lender (solely in their capacity as such pursuant to this Agreement and not in their capacity as Prepetition Term Agent or Prepetition Term Lender) and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all actual out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (in the case of counsel and advisors limited to the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of (i) one primary U.S. counsel for the Administrative Agent and one Canadian counsel, (ii) Wachtell, in its capacity as U.S. counsel for certain of the Lenders and one counsel in each of Virginia and Canada for such Lenders and (iii) Houlihan Lokey and BRG as financial advisors, incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid by, or asserted against, any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Material on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, (iv) the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the Security Agreement, (v) any documentary taxes, assessments or similar charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (vi) otherwise related to the Chapter 11 Cases and the Restructuring, and (vii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (w) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Agent or such Indemnitee or any Affiliate of such Indemnitee (or any officer, director, employee, advisor or agent of such Indemnitee or any such Indemnitee’s Affiliates), (x) are related to disputes among Indemnitees or (y) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction to have resulted from a breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations to a Loan Party. In connection with any indemnified claim hereunder, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to select its own counsel if a potential or actual conflict exists and the Loan Parties shall promptly pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel to the extent required hereunder.
(c)    Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Loan Parties for any reason fail to pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 10.04 to be paid by them to each Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-

-100-



agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought or, if the applicable unreimbursed expense of indemnity payment is sought after the date upon which the loans have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with each such Lender’s Pro Rata Share immediately prior to such date) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or against any Related Party thereof acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(d). All amounts due under this Section 10.04(c) shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor. This Section 10.04(c) shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(d)    Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto shall not assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto or Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby and thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof except, in the case of a Loan Party, to the extent otherwise required to be indemnified by a Loan Party pursuant to Section 10.04(b). No party hereto or person referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such waiver shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be effective to the extent that such damages (w) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Person or any Affiliate of such Person (or any officer, director, employee, advisor or agent of such Person or any such Person’s Affiliates) or are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction to have resulted from a breach by such Person of its obligations to another party hereto.
(e)    Payments. After the Closing Date, all amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be payable not later than fifteen Business Days after receipt of an invoice therefor setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail; provided that in the event the Borrower has a bona fide dispute with any such expenses, payment of such disputed amounts shall not be required until the earlier of the date such dispute is resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower or thirty (30) days after receipt of any such invoice (and any such disputed amount which is so paid shall be subject to a reservation of the Borrower’s rights with respect thereto).
(f)    Survival. The agreements in Sections 10.04(b), (c) and (d) 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.

-101-



10.05    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 and is required to be repaid to a trustee or receiver in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law 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 each Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by such 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 Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under subsection (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
10.06    Successors and Assigns.
(a)    Successors and Assigns Generally. 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 no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and any such attempted assignment of transfer without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section 10.06(a) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent not to be unreasonably withheld and except in the case of any assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that:
(i)    each assignment (except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment or the principal outstanding balance of the 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 or, if “trade date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the trade date) shall not be less than $1.0 million with respect to Commitments and Loans unless the Administrative Agent and the Borrower otherwise consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee

-102-



and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;
(ii)    each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;
(iii)    the parties of each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire;
(iv)    no such assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or any Disqualified Lender; and
(v)    in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance by the Administrative Agent and obtaining of required consents and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, 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 Lender’s 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 and 10.04 with respect to facts and

-103-



circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver the applicable 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 subsection shall be null and void.
(c)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent 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. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any prospective assignee is a Disqualified Lender or an Affiliated Lender.
(d)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Loan Parties or any other Person, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it), subject to the following:
(i)    such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged;
(ii)    such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations;
(iii)    the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;
(iv)    any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells a participation in the Commitments and the Loans shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 10.01(b), (c), (f) or (g) that affects such Participant;
(v)    subject to clause (vii) of this Section 10.06(d), the Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 and Section 3.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations of those Sections, including

-104-



Section 3.01(e)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b);
(vi)    to the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender so long as such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender;
(vii)    each Lender, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at its offices a record of each agreement or instrument effecting any participation and a register (each a “Participation Register”) meeting the requirements of 26 CFR § 5f.l03-l(c) for the recordation of the names and addresses of its Participants and their rights with respect to principal amounts and related interest amounts and other Obligations from time to time. The entries in each Participation Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error) and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in a Participation Register as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of entitlement to benefits under Sections 3.01, 10.07 and 10.08) notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The Participation Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; and
(viii)    a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or Section 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent
(e)    Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including (i) any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and (ii) any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender as collateral security for such obligations or securities, or to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders; 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.
(f)    Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

-105-



(g)    Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. 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 or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.10(b)(i). Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) an SPC shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 3.01 and 3.04 (subject to the requirements and the limitations of such Sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b), but an SPC shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to such grant, (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. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. 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 $2,500, 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 in accordance with Section 10.07 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.
10.07    Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and agree to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or any subpoena or similar legal process (the Agents and/or the Lenders agreeing to furnish the Borrower with notice of such process and an opportunity to contest such disclosure as long as furnishing such notice and opportunity would not result in the Agents’ and/or the Lenders’ violation of Applicable Law), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement

-106-



of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and any actual or prospective counterparty or advisors to any swap or derivative transactions relating to the Loan Parties and the Obligations so long as such Person or any of their Affiliates does not compete in the retail toy and/or infant products industry, (g) with the prior consent of the Loan Parties or (h) to the extent such Information (I) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or to the knowledge of such Agent or Lender, the breach of any other Person’s obligation to keep the information confidential or (II) becomes available any Agent or Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including conference calls or meetings with the Borrower to review its earnings and other information, may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.
Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has identified a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.
10.08    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Agent, Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law but subject to the terms of the Bankruptcy Court Order, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Carve-Out, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding Designated Accounts (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement), payroll, trust, escrow, gift card and tax withholding accounts) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Agent, Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such

-107-



Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its respective Affiliates may have but subject to the terms of the Bankruptcy Court Order, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Carve-Out. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. No Agent or Lender will or will permit its Participant to exercise its rights under this Section 10.08 without the consent of the Agents or the Required Lenders. In no event shall the provisions of this paragraph be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or, any payment obtained by a Lender or consideration for the assignment of sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).
10.09    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 the Administrative 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 the Administrative 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.
10.10    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

-108-



10.11    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 the Agents and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Agents or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Agents or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any borrowing of Loans, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to unasserted claims) hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
10.12    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
10.13    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or as provided in Section 10.01, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, (i) terminate the commitment of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower due and owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date or (ii) upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
(a)    the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);
(b)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of and premium (if any) on its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

-109-



(c)    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 thereafter; and
(d)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
10.14    Governing Law, Jurisdiction; Etc.
(a)    GOVERNING LAW. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUPERSEDED BY THE BANKRUPTCY CODE, THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL ACTIONS ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(b)    JURISDICTION; PROCESS. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT AND IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE BORROWER AGENT AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES AS SET FORTH HEREIN. THE LOAN PARTIES AGREE 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.
