The interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall change on the date of any change in the applicable Base Rate without any prior notice thereof being provided to the Borrower. (ii) Interest on each LIBOR Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of the LIBOR Period applicable to such Loan and, if such LIBOR Period exceeds three (3) months, every three (3) months after the beginning thereof, until and at maturity, whether by reason of acceleration, prepayment, payment or otherwise. (f) Effect of Defaults, Etc. (i) During the existence of any Event of Default, the outstanding principal under the Notes and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall bear interest, from and including the date such Event of Default occurred until such Event 6 of Default is waived in writing as provided herein, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year) equal to two percent (2.00%) above (1) the interest rate or rates then applicable to Base Rate Loans and overdue interest, fees and other expenses or (2) with respect to any LIBOR Loans then in effect (and only until the end of the LIBOR Period applicable to such LIBOR Loans) the interest rate or rates then applicable to such LIBOR Loans. (ii) Nothing in this Section 1.05(f) shall affect the rights of the Agent or the Lenders to exercise any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or applicable law arising upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Section 1.06. Type of Loan. (a) Conversion to a Different Type of Loan. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any outstanding Loans to Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, as the case may be, provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans, the Borrower shall provide the appropriate Interest Rate Option Notice by 11:00 A.M.

The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such Interest Rate Option Notice and the information contained therein. (b) Continuance of an Interest Rate Option. The Borrower may continue any LIBOR Loans as such upon the expiration of the related LIBOR Period by providing to the Agent an Interest Rate Option Notice in compliance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 1.06(a); provided that no LIBOR Loans may be continued when any Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of the first applicable LIBOR Period which ends during the continuance of such Default. Base Rate Loans shall be deemed to continue as such until receipt of an Interest Rate Option Notice requesting conversion thereof to LIBOR Loans. (c) Form of Notice.

(ii) [Intentionally Omitted.] (e) Application of Reductions and Prepayments; Cash Collateral, Etc.

(iv) All voluntary and mandatory prepayments of the Notes under this Section 1.09 (A) shall be made without set-off, deduction or counterclaim and (B) shall be applied first, to overdue interest, fees and expenses hereunder, second, to pay principal of the Notes as provided above, and third, to the extent of any excess remaining after application as provided above, to pay any outstanding Reimbursement Obligations and, thereafter, to cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Exposure as provided in Section 1.02(g), provided, in each case, that (1) payments of principal of the Notes shall be applied to the Lenders' respective Notes pro rata as provided in Section 1.17, unless otherwise agreed to by the Lenders and (2) applications of prepayments to principal shall be made first to Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Loans.

All such amounts shall constitute Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 18 Section 1.10. [Intentionally Omitted]. Section 1.11. Requirements of Law. (a) In the event that any Regulatory Change shall: (i) change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to any Lender under this Agreement or any Notes in respect of any Loans, including without limitation LIBOR Loans made by it (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender in its jurisdiction of organization or in the jurisdiction where its lending office is located); (ii) impose or modify any reserve, compulsory loan assessment, special deposit or similar requirement relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, any office of such Lender (including any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBOR Base Rate" in Article XIV); or (iii) impose any other conditions affecting this Agreement in respect of Loans, including without limitation LIBOR Loans (or any of such extensions of credit, assets, deposits or liabilities); and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase such Lender's costs of making or maintaining any Loans, including without limitation LIBOR Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of its Loans, in each case only to the extent that such additional amounts are not included in the LIBOR Base Rate or Base Rate applicable to such Loans, then the Borrower shall pay on demand to such Lender, through the Agent, and from time to time as specified by such Lender, such additional amounts as such Lender shall reasonably determine are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. (b) If at any time after the date of this Agreement any Lender shall have determined that the applicability of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Lending Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards", or the adoption or implementation of any Regulatory Change regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law), has or will 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 the existence of its obligations hereunder (whether with respect to the Loans or any other Obligation) to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be 19 material, then from time to time following written notice by such Lender to the Borrower as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, through the Agent, such additional amount or amounts as such Lender shall reasonably determine will compensate such Lender or such holding company, as the case may be, for such reduction, provided that to the extent that any or all of the Borrower's liability under this Section arises following the date of the adoption of any such Regulatory Change (the "Effective Date"), such compensation shall be payable only with respect to that portion of such liability arising after notice of such Regulatory Change is given by such Lender to the Borrower (unless such notice is given within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, in which case such compensation shall be payable in respect of all periods before and after the Effective Date). (c) If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender to the Borrower shall be delivered to the Borrower and the other Lenders promptly after the initial incurrence of such additional amounts and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The covenants contained in this Section shall survive for six months following the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Notes. No failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) above on any one occasion shall constitute a waiver of its rights to demand compensation on any other occasion. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of any law, regulation or other condition which shall give rise to any demand by such Lender for compensation thereunder. Section 1.12. Limitations on LIBOR Loans; Illegality. (a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of an interest rate for any LIBOR Loans for any applicable LIBOR Period, the Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that: (i) by reason of any event affecting United States money markets or the London interbank market, quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the rate of interest for such Loans under this Agreement; or (ii) the rates of interest referred to in the definition of "LIBOR Base Rate" in Article XIV, on the basis of which the rate of interest on any LIBOR Loans for such period is determined, do not accurately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such LIBOR Loans for such period; then the Agent shall give the Borrower prompt notice thereof (and shall thereafter give the Borrower prompt notice of the cessation, if any, of such condition), and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current LIBOR Period(s) for any outstanding LIBOR Loans, either prepay such LIBOR Loans in accordance with Section 1.08 or convert such Loans into Base Rate Loans in accordance with Section 1.06. 20 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if for any reason a Lender shall be unable to make or maintain LIBOR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall provide prompt written notice to the Borrower and (i) such Lender's commitment hereunder to make LIBOR Loans, continue LIBOR Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall thereupon terminate and (ii) such Lender's Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current LIBOR Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current LIBOR Period with respect thereto, and if the reason for such Lender's inability to make or maintain LIBOR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement is a Regulatory Change, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 1.14. Section 1.13. Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (all such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings being hereinafter called "Taxes"); provided, however, that the term "Taxes" shall not include net income taxes, franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) and general intangibles taxes (such as those imposed by the State of Florida) imposed on the Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, as a result of a present or former connection or nexus between the jurisdiction of the government or taxing authority imposing such tax (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) and the Agent or such Lender other than that arising solely from the Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement, the Notes or any of the Security Documents. If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the Notes, the amounts so payable to the Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the Notes, as the case may be. Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Borrower in respect of this Agreement or the Notes, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. If, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower under this Section, any part of any Tax paid by the Agent or any Lender is subsequently recovered by the Agent or such Lender, the Agent or such Lender shall reimburse the Borrower 21 to the extent of the amount so recovered. A certificate of an officer of the Agent or such Lender setting forth the amount of such recovery and the basis therefor shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive. The Agent and the Lenders shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of their attempts, if any, to obtain abatements of any such Taxes and the receipt by the Agent or the Lenders of any funds in connection therewith. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. (b) Each Lender, if any, that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state thereof agrees that prior to the date any payment is required to be made to it hereunder it will deliver to the Borrower and the Agent either (i) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, and an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 or successor applicable form or (ii) in the case of a Lender that is not legally entitled to deliver either form listed in clause (b), (A) a certificate of such Lender to the effect that such Lender is not (1) a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (such certificate, an "Exemption Certificate") and (B) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or applicable successor form. Each such Lender also agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent two further copies of the said Form 1001 or 4224 and Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable forms or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Agent, unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and the Agent. Such Lender shall certify (x) in the case of a Form 1001 or 4224, that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (y) in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Section 1.14. Indemnification. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender delivered to the Agent and thereafter delivered by the Agent to the Borrower, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender (as reasonably determined by such Lender) as a result of: (a) any payment or prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Loan held by such Lender on a date other than the last day of the LIBOR Period for such LIBOR Loan (including without limitation any such payment, prepayment or conversion required under Section 1.03, 1.04, 1.04A, 1.06, 1.08, 1.09 or 1.09A); or 22 (b) any failure by the Borrower to borrow, convert into or continue a LIBOR Loan on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant Interest Rate Option Notice under Section 1.06 or otherwise. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such LIBOR Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the LIBOR Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) 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 interbank eurodollar market. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. The determination by each such Lender of the amount of any such loss or expense, when set forth in a written notice delivered to the Agent (and thereafter delivered by the Agent to the Borrower), containing such Lender's calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Section 1.15. Payments Under the Notes. (a) All payments and prepayments made by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Notes and other sums and charges payable under this Agreement and, with respect to fees payable to the Agent and its affiliates, the Fee Agreements, including without limitation any payments under Sections 1.11, 1.13 and 1.14, shall be made in immediately available funds to the Agent (as specified in Section 13.03) for the accounts of the Lenders as provided in Section 1.17 and otherwise herein not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York Time), on the date on which such payment shall become due. The failure by the Borrower to make any such payment by such hour shall not constitute a Default hereunder so long as payment is received later that day, provided that any such payment made after 2:00 P.M. (New York Time), on such due date shall be deemed to have been made on the next Business Day for the purpose of calculating interest on amounts outstanding on the Notes. The Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or the Notes, specify to the Agent the Notes or amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that it fails to so specify, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent may distribute such payments in such manner as the Required Lenders may direct or, absent such direction, as it determines to be appropriate, subject to the provisions of Section 1.17). (b) Except as otherwise provided in the definition of "LIBOR Period" with respect to LIBOR Loans, if any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed due on the next following Business Day and interest shall be payable at the applicable rate specified herein through such extension period. The Agent, or any Lender for whose account any such payment is made, may (but shall not be obligated to) debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by such time to any deposit account of the Borrower with the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be. Each payment received by the Agent under this Agreement or any Note for the account of a Lender shall be paid promptly to such Lender, in immediately available funds, for the account of such Lender for the Note in respect to which such payment is made. 23 Section 1.16. Set-Off, Etc. The Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set-off, bankers' lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have and in addition to the debit right afforded in Section 1.15, each Lender (and each subsequent holder of any Note) shall be entitled, at its option, to offset balances held by it, or by any of its respective branches or agencies, for the account of the Borrower at any of its or their offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on the Notes held by such Lender (or subsequent noteholder) or other fees or charges owed to such Lender (or subsequent noteholder) hereunder which are not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Borrower and regardless of whether the Lenders are otherwise fully secured), in which case it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent thereof, provided that such Lender's (or subsequent noteholder's) failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof and (as security for any Indebtedness hereunder) the Borrower hereby grants to the Agent and the Lenders a continuing security interest in any and all balances, credit, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower maintained with the Agent and any Lender now or hereafter. If a Lender (or subsequent noteholder) shall obtain payment of any principal, interest or other amounts payable under this Agreement through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker's lien or counterclaim or otherwise or pursuant to the debit right provided in Section 1.15, it shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Note(s) held by the other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata based upon the unpaid principal amounts of and interest on the Note(s) held by each of them. To such end, the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender or any other Person which purchases a participation (or direct interest) in the Note(s) held by any or all of the Lenders (each being hereinafter referred to as a "Participant") may exercise all rights of set-off, bankers' lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct holder of Notes in the amount of such participation, provided that the Borrower was notified of such purchase. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require any Participant to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Participant to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower, other than the Borrower's indebtedness and obligations under this Agreement. Section 1.17. Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing; Payments after Default. (a) Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement and, with respect to fees payable to the Agent, the Resigning Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent and their affiliates, the Fee Agreements, and except as otherwise agreed by the Lenders: (i) the principal amount of LIBOR Loans made by each Lender shall be determined on a pro rata basis in accordance 24 with the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loans owed to such Lender (in the case of conversions to or continuations of Loans as LIBOR Loans); (ii) each payment and prepayment of principal of any Notes shall be allocated to the Lenders holding such Notes pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal amounts of the respective Notes held by such Lenders; (iii) each payment of interest on the Notes shall be allocated to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal amounts of their respective Loans evidenced by such Notes; (iv) each payment of any other sums and charges payable for the Lenders' account under this Agreement (except for the fees payable under the Fee Agreements, and the amounts payable pursuant to Section 1.21, which are payable solely in accordance therewith) shall be allocated to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the aggregate Loans made by each of them; (v) each payment under Section 1.11, 1.13 or 1.14 shall be made to each Lender in the amount required to be paid to such Lender to adequately indemnify or compensate such Lender for losses suffered or costs incurred by such Lender as provided in such Section; and (vi) notwithstanding the foregoing, after and during the continuance of a Default, each payment or distribution of cash, property, securities or other value received by the Agent or any Lender, directly or indirectly, in respect of the Borrower's Indebtedness hereunder, whether pursuant to this Article I or any attachment, garnishment, execution or other proceedings for the collection thereof or pursuant to any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or other similar proceeding or otherwise, after payment of collection and other expenses as provided herein and in the Security Documents, shall be apportioned among the Lenders pro rata based upon the respective aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans owed to each of them. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lender (a "Recovering Party") shall receive any such distribution referred to in Section 1.17(a)(vi) above (a "Recovery") in respect thereof, such Recovering Party shall pay to the Agent for distribution to the Lenders as set forth herein their respective pro rata shares of such Recovery, based on the Lenders' pro rata shares of all Loans outstanding at such time, unless the Recovering Party is legally required to return any Recovery, in which case each party receiving a portion of such Recovery shall return to the Recovering Party its pro rata share of the sum required to be returned without interest. For purposes of this Agreement, calculations of the amount of the pro rata share of each Lender shall be rounded to the nearest whole dollar. (c) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, if any Recovering Party shall be obligated to pay to the other Lenders a portion of any Recovery pursuant to Section 1.17(b) and shall make such recovery payment, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations in respect of Indebtedness held by such Recovering Party only to the extent of the Recovery actually retained by such Recovering Party after giving effect to the pro rata payments by such Recovering Party to the other Lenders. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of Indebtedness held by each other Lender shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent of the amount of the Recovery distributed to each such other Lender by the Recovering Party. Section 1.18. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent. Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender or the Borrower prior to the date on which such Lender or the Borrower is scheduled to make payment to the Agent of (in the case of a Lender) the proceeds of a Loan to 25 be made by it hereunder or (in the case of the Borrower) a payment to the Agent for the account of any or all of the Lenders hereunder (such payment being herein referred to as a "Required Payment"), which notice shall be effective upon actual receipt, that it does not intend to make such Required Payment to the Agent, the Agent may (but shall not be required to) assume that the Required Payment has been made and may (but shall not be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient(s) on such date and, if such Lender or the Borrower (as the case may be) has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, or with respect to payment received by the Borrower, within three (3) Business Days after such receipt repay to the Agent for the Agent's own account the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, with respect to interest paid by such Lender, or (b) the applicable rate provided under Section 1.05, with respect to interest paid by the Borrower. Section 1.19. Replacement of Notes. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note and (a) in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower (provided, however, that if the holder of such Note is the original holder of such Note or a financial institution with net capital, capital surplus and undivided profits in excess of $50,000,000 its own agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or (b) in the case of any such mutilation, upon the surrender of such Note for cancellation, the Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated Note, a new Note of like tenor. Section 1.20. Replaced Lenders. (a) Upon the occurrence of any event requiring the payment of additional sums by the Borrower pursuant to Section 1.11, 1.13 or 1.14 with respect to any Lender, such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for any Loans. (b) Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.11, 1.13 or 1.14 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs materially in excess of those being charged generally by the other Lenders, or upon the occurrence of a Lender Default which is not addressed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days, the Borrower shall have the right, so long as no Event of Default then exists, to replace such Lender (the "Replaced Lender") with one or more new lenders (each, a "New Lender") reasonably acceptable to the Agent, provided that: (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this paragraph, the New Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Acceptances pursuant to paragraph (b) of Article XII (with all fees payable pursuant to such paragraph (b) to be paid by the New Lender), pursuant to which the New Lender shall acquire all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, and in connection therewith shall pay to the Replaced Lender an amount equal to the principal amount of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender; and 26 (ii) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Lender under the Loan Documents (other than those expressly described in the preceding subparagraph (i) in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender by the Borrower concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Acceptance, the payment of the amounts referred to in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above and delivery to the New Lender of the appropriate replacement Notes executed by the Borrower, the New Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions applicable to the Replaced Lender under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. Section 1.21. Change of Control Put. (a) Upon the occurrence of a "Change of Control" (as defined in the PCC 1998 Indenture) or in the event that any holder of PSC Notes or PCC Preferred Stock shall exercise the right to require PSC to repurchase all or any part of such holder's PSC Notes or PCC Preferred Stock, as applicable, upon the occurrence of a "Change of Control" under, and as defined in any applicable PSC Indenture or the PCC Preferred Stock Designation, as applicable (unless all PSC Notes and/or PCC Preferred Stock tendered by holders thereof in consequence of such "Change of Control" are purchased by a Person(s) not an Affiliate of PSC in lieu of PSC repurchasing such tendered PSC Notes and/or PCC Preferred Stock) (each a "Put Change of Control"), each Lender shall, unless the Tranche D Term Loans shall have been accelerated in accordance with Article IX, have the right to require that the Borrower prepay such Lender's Tranche D Term Loans in full at a prepayment price equal to the greater of (i) 101% and (ii) the then applicable Fixed Early Payment Amount, in either case, of the principal amount of the Tranche D Term Loans then outstanding (such amount, the "Change of Control Put Amount"), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of prepayment and all other Obligations due to such Tranche D Term Loan Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in accordance with the terms contemplated in paragraph (b) below. (b) At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the occurrence of any Put Change of Control, the Borrower shall mail a notice to each Tranche D Term Loan Lender (the "Put Offer"), with a copy to the Agent, stating: (i) that a Put Change of Control will occur and that such Tranche D Term Loan Lender has the right to require the Borrower to prepay such Lender's Tranche D Term Loans in full at a prepayment price equal to the Change of Control Put Amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of prepayment, and showing the calculation of the prepayment price (exclusive of other Obligations due to such Tranche D Term Loan Lender hereunder); 27 (ii) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Put Change of Control (including the information with respect to pro forma historical income, cash flow and capitalization, each after giving effect to such Put Change of Control; (iii) the prepayment date (which shall be the date of the occurrence of such Put Change of Control); and (iv) the reasonable instructions determined by the Borrower and Agent, consistent with this section, that a Lender must follow in order to accept the Put Offer, which must allow each Tranche D Term Loan Lender at least ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such Put Offer by each Tranche D Term Loan Lender to accept such Put Offer. (c) Lenders electing to have their Tranche D Term Loans prepaid will be required to surrender their Tranche D Term Notes to the Agent at the address specified in Section 13.03 on the prepayment date. (d) On the prepayment date, all Tranche D Term Notes evidencing any Tranche D Term Loans prepaid by the Borrower under this section shall be cancelled by the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay the Change of Control Put Amount to the Agent, for the account of the Tranche D Term Loan Lenders electing to receive such prepayment, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and all other Obligations due to such Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Lenders entitled thereto. (e) For the purposes of this Section 1.21 (i) "PSC Notes" means a collective reference to the PCC 1997 Senior Notes, the PCC 1998 Senior Notes, the PSC 2001 Senior Notes, the PCC Exchange Notes, the PSC Subordinated Notes and the Golden Sky Exchange Notes; and (ii) "PSC Indentures" means a collective reference to the PCC 1997 Indenture, the PCC 1998 Indenture, the PSC 2001 Indenture, the PSC Subordinated Indenture, the PCC Exchange Indenture and the Golden Sky Exchange Indentures.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VIII, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under paragraph (u) of this Article VIII, the Notes and any and all other Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders shall immediately become due and payable as set forth in Section 1.09(i). IX. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC. In case any one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Agent and the Lenders may proceed to protect and enforce their rights by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained in this Agreement, any Security Document or the Notes, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof or in and of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law, all subject to the provisions of Article XI. IN THE EVENT THAT THE AGENT SHALL APPLY FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF, OR TAKING POSSESSION BY, A TRUSTEE, RECEIVER OR LIQUIDATOR OF THE BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR OF ANY OTHER SIMILAR OFFICIAL, TO HOLD OR LIQUIDATE ALL OR ANY SUBSTANTIAL PART OF THE PROPERTIES OR ASSETS OF THE BORROWER OR SUCH 81 SUBSIDIARY FOLLOWING THE OCCURRENCE OF A DEFAULT IN PAYMENT OF ANY AMOUNT OWED TO THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER HEREUNDER, THE BORROWER, FOR ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES (WITH ALL DUE AND PROPER AUTHORIZATION OF THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS, PARTNERS OR MEMBERS, AS THE CASE MAY BE, OF EACH OF THE SUBSIDIARIES), HEREBY JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY CONSENT TO SUCH APPOINTMENT AND TAKING OF POSSESSION AND AGREE TO EXECUTE AND DELIVER ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTS REQUESTED BY THE AGENT RELATING THERETO (WHETHER BY JOINING IN A PETITION FOR THE VOLUNTARY APPOINTMENT OF, OR ENTERING NO CONTEST TO A PETITION FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF, SUCH AN OFFICIAL OR OTHERWISE, AS APPROPRIATE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW). No right conferred upon the Agent or the Lenders hereby or by any Security Document or the Notes shall be exclusive of any other right referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Tranche D Term Loans are accelerated in connection with an Event of Default resulting from a Put Change of Control, then the principal balance of the Tranche D Term Loans shall be payable at par (together with accrued interest, including any applicable default rate of interest) plus a premium in an amount such that the sum of such principal balance and such premium shall be equal to the greater of (i) 101% of such principal balance and (ii) the then applicable Fixed Early Payment Amount, in either case, of the principal amount of the Tranche D Term Loans then outstanding, plus all other Obligations due to such Tranche D Term Loan Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at the time of the occurrence of an Event of Default resulting from a Put Change of Control there are Initial Term Loans and/or Incremental Term Loans outstanding, only Lenders holding in the aggregate more than 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Initial Term Loans and/or Incremental Term Loans shall have the right to direct the Agent as to the exercise or non-exercise of remedies with respect to such Loans and the related Notes. X. THE AGENT. Section 10.01. Appointment and Authorization of Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 82 Section 10.02. Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to make (or give any notice with respect thereto) any voluntary, optional or other non-scheduled payment, prepayment, redemption, acquisition for value (including without limitation, by way of depositing money or securities with the trustee with respect thereto before due for the purpose of paying when due), refund, refinance or exchange of any Indebtedness of any Company (other than Indebtedness under the Loan Documents) (in each case, whether or not mandatory) such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. Section 10.03 Liability of Agent. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), (b) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any predecessor or former Agent or Agent-Related Person or (c) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Parent or any Company or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any the Parent, and Company or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Parent or any Company or any Affiliate thereof. Section 10.04. Reliance by Agent. (a) The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Parent or any Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under 83 any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article III, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto. Section 10.05. Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." The Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Articles VIII and IX; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent has received any such direction, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. Section 10.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by the Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Parent, the Companies and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own 84 credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent and the other Companies. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent herein, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Parent, the Borrower or any other Company or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person. Section 10.07. Indemnification of Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Agent. Section 10.08. Agent in its Individual Capacity. Bank of America, N.A. and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Parent and the Companies and their respective Affiliates as though Bank of America, N.A. were not the Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America, N.A. or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Parent or any Company or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, if any, Bank of America, N.A. shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Agent, and, if applicable, the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" include Bank of America, N.A. in its individual capacity. 85 Section 10.09. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days' notice to the Lenders. If the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent, and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor administrative agent, and the retiring Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of any other Lender. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article X and Section 13.02 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Section 10.10. Documentation Agent, Syndication Agent and Co-Arrangers. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the Fee Agreements, the Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Arrangers shall not have any rights or obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents other than in their respective capacities as Lenders hereunder and thereunder. Section 10.11. 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 the Borrower, the Parent or any Company, the 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 Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans 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 Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agent under Sections 1.02, 1.05 and 13.02) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 86 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Sections 1.10 and 13.02. Section 10.12. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Security Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Article XI hereof if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; (b) to subordinate any Lien on any property or asset granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such Property that is permitted by Section 7.02; (c) to release any Company party to the Subsidiary Agreement from its obligations thereunder if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; (d) to release any Lien on any property or assets granted to or held by the Agent under the Parent Pledge Agreement upon termination of the Parent Term Loan Agreement and payment in full of all obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) of the Parent thereunder; (e) to enter into an intercreditor agreement with the agent and/or lenders under the New Revolving Credit Facility so long as such facility is permitted by the terms of this Agreement; and (f) enter into any amendments to any Security Document as the Agent shall deem reasonably necessary to give effect to the transfer of agency from the Resigning Agent to the Successor Agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Resignation and Assignment Agreement. 87 Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent's authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property or assets, to release any Subsidiary from its obligations under the Subsidiary Agreement, or to release the Parent from its obligations under the Parent Pledge Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.12. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the 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 Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. XI. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS; SEPARATE ACTIONS BY THE LENDERS. (a) This Agreement (including the Schedules hereto) and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement of the parties herein and supersede any and all prior agreements, written or oral, as to the matters contained herein, and no modification or waiver of any provision hereof or of the Notes or any other Loan Document, nor consent to the departure by any Company therefrom, shall be effective unless the same is in writing, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as hereafter provided, the consent of the Required Lenders shall be required and sufficient (i) to amend, with the consent of the Borrower, any term of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document or to waive the observance of any such term (either generally or in a particular instance or either retroactively or prospectively); (ii) to take or refrain from taking any action under this Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Document or applicable law, including, without limitation, (A) the acceleration of the payment of the Notes, (B) the termination of the Commitments, (C) the exercise of the Agent's and the Lenders' remedies hereunder and under the Security Documents and (D) the giving of any approvals, consents, directions or instructions required under this Agreement or the Security Documents; provided that no such amendment, waiver, consent or other action shall, without the prior written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender and, with respect to matters addressed in clause (1) below, only such Lenders holding Obligations directly affected thereby), (1) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or extend the stated maturity of any Letter of Credit beyond the Expiration Date (it being understood that no waiver or modification of any condition precedent, covenant or Default shall constitute any such extension), or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof; (2) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the Security Documents)under the Security Documents; 88 (3) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 1.09(e) or this Article XI; (4) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments are included on the Closing Date); or (5) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; and provided, further, that no such amendment, waiver, consent or other action shall (x) increase the Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that (aa) no waiver or modification of any condition precedent, covenant or Default or of any mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall constitute an increase in the respective Commitment of any Lender and (bb) an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase in the respective Commitment of such Lender); (y) without the consent of the Issuing Bank or the DTS Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 1.02 applicable thereto or alter its respective rights or obligations with respect to the Letters of Credit or the DTS Letters of Credit, respectively; or (z) without the consent of the Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Article X as same applies to the Agent or any other provision of any Loan Document as same relates to the rights or obligations of the Agent. (b) If, in connection with any such proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other action under any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (1) through (5), of subsection (a) above, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right (so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (i) or (ii) below), to either (i) replace such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders, so long as at the time of such replacement each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other action or (ii) terminate such non-consenting Lender's Commitment (if such Lender's consent is required as a result of its Commitment) and repay all outstanding Loans of such Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender's consent and/or cash collateralize its Letter of Credit Exposure, in accordance with Sections 1.02(g) and 1.09(e), provided that, unless the Commitments which are terminated and the Loans which are repaid pursuant the preceding clause (ii) are immediately replaced in full 89 at such time through the addition of one or more new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (which in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii), the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto, and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitments or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender's rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to subsection (a) of this Article XI. (c) Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Article XI shall be binding upon each holder of any Note at the time outstanding, each future holder of any Note and the Borrower. The Lenders' failure to insist (directly or through the Agent) upon the strict performance of any term, condition or other provision of this Agreement, any Note, or any of the Security Documents or other Loan Documents, or to exercise any right or remedy hereunder or thereunder, shall not constitute a waiver by the Lenders of any such term, condition or other provision or Default in connection therewith, nor shall a single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or future exercise, or the exercise of any other right or remedy; and any waiver of any such term condition or other provision or of any such Default shall not affect or alter this Agreement, any Note or any of the Security Documents or other Loan Documents, and each and every term, condition and other provision of this Agreement, the Notes and the Security Documents or other Loan Documents shall, in such event, continue in full force and effect and shall be operative with respect to any other then existing or subsequent Default in connection therewith. An Event of Default hereunder and under any Note or Security Document shall be deemed to be continuing unless and until cured or waived in writing by the applicable Lenders, as provided in subsection (a) above. XII. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and all subsequent holders of any of the Notes or any portion thereof. (b) Each Lender may assign its rights and interests under this Agreement, the Notes and the Security Documents and/or delegate its obligations hereunder and thereunder, in whole or in part, and sell participations in the Notes and the Security Documents as security therefor, provided as follows: (i) Any such assignment, other than an assignment in whole, made other than to (A) another Lender, (B) a separately organized branch of a Lender or (C) a Related Lender Party, shall reflect an assignment of such assigning Lender's Notes and Commitments which is in an aggregate principal amount of at least $500,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consents to a lesser amount. (ii) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (A) each Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, 90 including without limitation its Loans and the Notes held by such Lender, to a Federal Reserve Bank (or equivalent thereof in the case of Lenders chartered outside of the United States) in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and (B) any Lender that is a fund or similar investment vehicle that invests in or makes commercial loans may, without the consent of the Agent or the Borrower, pledge all or any portion of its Notes or Loans to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Person, as security for such obligations or securities, or to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders; provided that any foreclosure or similar action by such trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section concerning assignments. No pledge pursuant to this subsection (ii) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents. (iii) Any assignments and/or delegations made hereunder shall be pursuant to an instrument of assignment and acceptance (the "Assignment and Acceptance") substantially in the form of Schedule 12 and the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent for its acceptance the Assignment and Acceptance together with any Note or Notes subject thereto. Upon such execution and delivery, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five (5) Business Days after the execution thereof unless otherwise permitted by the Agent, (A) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with applicable Loans as set forth therein and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such assignment, be released from its obligations under this Agreement as to that portion of its obligation being so assigned and delegated. The Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the assignee as a Lender and the resulting adjustment of Loans arising from the purchase by and delegation to such assignee of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such assigning Lender under this Agreement. (iv) The Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain at the address of the Agent referred to in Section 13.03 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance 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 amounts of the Loans owing to, and any Notes evidencing the Loans owned by, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register; provided that in the case of an assignment by a Lender to any Related Lender Party that is not reflected on the Register, the assigning Lender shall maintain a comparable register on behalf of the Agent. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 91 (v) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and the assignee together with the Note or Notes, if any, subject to such assignment (or a standard indemnity letter from the respective assigning Lender in respect of any lost Note or Notes) and payment by the assigning Lender or the assignee to the Agent of registration and processing fees of $3,500 in the aggregate (except with respect to assignments (A) to any Related Lender Party or another Lender or (B) by the Agent, the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent, in their capacities as Lenders), the Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Such Assignment and Acceptance and the assignment evidenced thereby shall only be effective upon appropriate entries with respect to the information contained therein being made in the Register pursuant to subparagraph (iv) above. (vi) Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, if requested by the assignee Lender, execute and deliver to the Agent in exchange for evidence of the delivery to the Agent of a copy of each such surrendered Note, marked "Superseded", one or more new Notes payable to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the portion of the applicable Commitment assumed and/or Loans purchased by such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and a new Note payable to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the portion of the applicable Commitment(s) and/or Loans retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form provided in Sections 1.01, 1.03, 1.04 or 1.04A as applicable. Copies of the superseded Notes shall be delivered to the Borrower upon execution and delivery of such new Notes and the original superseded Notes shall be returned to the assignors thereof. (vii) Each Lender may sell participations in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of the Notes held by it); provided, however, that, no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant's participation over the amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant's participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that no waiver or modification of any condition precedent, covenant or Default or of any mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall constitute a change in the terms of such participation, that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant's participation is not increased as a result thereof and that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (A)), (B) consent to the assignment or 92 transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Security Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating or (D) eliminate the rights set forth in Section 1.21. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (the participant's rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. (viii) Except for an assignment made to (i) another Lender, (ii) a separately organized branch of a Lender, (iii) a Related Lender Party or (iv) a Qualified Institutional Lender, and except during the existence of a Default, no assignment referred to above shall be permitted without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (ix) The Borrower may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties or obligations hereunder. (x) To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender's Commitment and outstanding Loans pursuant to subsection (b) of Article XI or this Article XII would, due to circumstances existing at the time of such assignment, result in costs under Sections 1.11, 1.13 or 1.14 which are increased from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment). (xi) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation pursuant to this Section, disclose to the assignee or participant any information relating to the Companies and the Parent Affiliates furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and such assignee or participant shall treat such information as confidential. XIII. MISCELLANEOUS. Section 13.01. Survival.
