MACQUARIE INFRASTRUCTURE COMPANY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Description of Business
Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, was formed on April 13, 2004. Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC (the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, was also formed on April 13, 2004. Prior to December 21, 2004, the Trust was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc., (“MIMUSA”). MIMUSA is a subsidiary of the Macquarie Group of companies, which is comprised of Macquarie Bank Limited and its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide. Macquarie Bank Limited is headquartered in Australia and is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.
The Trust and the Company were formed to own, operate and invest in a diversified group of infrastructure businesses in the United States and other developed countries. In accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Trust is the sole holder of 100% of the LLC interests of the Company and, pursuant to the LLC Agreement, the Company will have outstanding the identical number of LLC interests as the number of outstanding shares of trust stock. The Company is the operating entity with a Board of Directors and other corporate governance responsibilities generally consistent with that of a Delaware corporation.
On December 21, 2004, the Trust and the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”), and concurrent private placement, issuing a total of 26,610,000 shares of trust stock at a price of $25.00 per share. Total gross proceeds were $665.3 million, before offering costs and underwriting fees at June 30, 2005 of $51.6 million. MIMUSA purchased two million shares ($50 million) of the total shares issued, through the private placement offering. The majority of the proceeds were used to acquire the Company’s initial infrastructure businesses and investments.
In December 2004, subsequent to the IPO, the Company purchased the following companies:
  1)   North America Capital Holding Company (“NACH”) — an airport service business that is an operator of 12 fixed-based operations or FBOs (10 FBOs at acquisition date) which provide fuel, de-icing, aircraft parking, hangar and other services. The FBOs are located in various locations in the United States and the corporate headquarters are in Plano, Texas.
 
  2)   Macquarie Airports North America, Inc. (“MANA”) — an airport service business that is an operator of 5 FBOs and 1 heliport which provides fuel, de-icing, aircraft parking and hangar services, airport management, and other aviation services. The FBOs are located in the northeast and southern regions of the United States, and the corporate headquarters are in Baltimore, Maryland.
 
  3)   Macquarie Americas Parking Corporation (“MAPC”) — an airport parking business that provides off-airport parking services as well as ground transportation to and from the parking facilities and the airport terminals. MAPC operates 24 off-airport parking facilities located at 15 major airports throughout the United States and maintains its headquarters in Downey, California.
 
  4)   Macquarie District Energy Holdings, LLC (“MDEH”) — a business that provides district cooling to 98 customers in Chicago, Illinois and provides district heating and cooling to a single customer outside of downtown Chicago and to the Aladdin Resort & Casino located in Las Vegas, Nevada. MDEH maintains its headquarters in Chicago, Illinois.
 
  5)   Macquarie Yorkshire Limited (“MYL”) — an entity that owns a 50% interest in a shadow toll road located in the United Kingdom, pursuant to a concession agreement with the U.K. government.
In December 2004, the Company also purchased an interest in Macquarie Communications Infrastructure Group (“MCG”), an investment vehicle managed by a member of the Macquarie Group that operates an Australian broadcast transmission provider and a provider of broadcast transmission and site leasing infrastructure operated in the U.K. and Republic of Ireland. The Company also purchased an indirect interest in South East Water (“SEW”), a utility company that provides water to households and industrial customers in south-eastern England.

Table of Contents

On January 14, 2005, NACH acquired all of the membership interests in General Aviation Holdings, LLC (“GAH”), an entity that operates two FBOs in California.
The airport services, airport parking and district energy businesses are owned by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Macquarie Infrastructure Company Inc. (“MIC Inc.”), a Delaware corporation that was formed on April 13, 2004. The investments and the business that operates a toll road are owned by the Company through separate Delaware limited liability companies.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004 has been derived from audited financial statements but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.
The interim financial information contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
3. Earnings Per Share
Following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted number of shares used in computing earnings per share:
                         
            Period From        
            April 13, 2004        
    Quarter Ended     (inception) –     Six Months Ended  
    June 30, 2005     June 30, 2004     June 30, 2005  
Weighted average number of shares of trust stock outstanding: basic
    26,960,560       100       26,786,298  
Dilutive effect of stock grants
    23,600             11,865  
 
                 
Weighted average number of shares of trust stock outstanding: diluted
    26,984,160       100       26,798,163  
 
                 
The effect of potentially dilutive shares is calculated by assuming that the stock grants issued to our independent directors on May 25, 2005 had been fully converted to shares on that date.
4. Acquisitions
          General Aviation Holdings, LLC
On January 14, 2005, NACH acquired all of the membership interests in General Aviation Holdings, LLC (“GAH”), which, through its subsidiaries, operates two FBOs in California, for $50.3 million (including transaction costs and working capital adjustments). The acquisition was paid for in cash through additional long-term debt borrowings of $32.0 million under NACH’s existing debt facility with the remainder funded by proceeds from the IPO.
NACH paid fees to the Macquarie Group for advisory services of $1.1 million, debt arranging services of $160,000 and equity and debt underwriting services of $913,000 provided in connection with the acquisition. The advisory fees have been capitalized and are included as part of the purchase price of the acquisition. The debt arranging fees have been deferred and amortized over the life of the relevant debt facility. The equity and debt underwriting fees have been expensed.
The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations of GAH are included in the accompanying consolidated condensed statement of operations since January 15, 2005.

The Company paid more than the fair value of the underlying net assets as a result of the expectation of its ability to earn a higher rate of return from the acquired business than would be expected if those net assets had to be acquired or developed separately. The value of the acquired intangible assets was determined by taking into account risks related to the characteristics and applications of the assets, existing and future markets and analyses of expected future cash flows to be generated by the business. The airport contract rights are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 20 to 30 years.
The Company allocated $1.1 million of the purchase price to customer relationships in accordance with EITF 02-17, “Recognition of Customer Relationship Intangible Assets Acquired in a Business Combination.” The Company will amortize the amount allocated to customer relationships over a 9 year period.
The pro forma impact of GAH on the consolidated results is not significant and, therefore, this pro forma impact has not been presented.
          Las Vegas Executive
On May 26, 2005, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Mr Gene H. Yamagata to acquire 100% of the membership interests in Eagle Aviation Resources, Ltd., a Nevada limited liability company doing business as Las Vegas Executive Air Terminal (“LVE”) for a total cash purchase price of $58 million (subject to working capital adjustments) with no assumed debt. In addition to the purchase price, it is anticipated that a further $2.3 million will be paid to cover transaction costs and to pre-fund capital expenditures for the facility.
The membership interest purchase agreement contains various provisions customary for transactions of this size and type, including representations, warranties and covenants with respect to the business that are subject to customary limitations. The agreement provides for a one-year escrow of $500,000 to cover working capital adjustments or for indemnities. The amount of indemnification payable under the agreement is limited to 25% of the purchase price, with some exceptions.
All approvals, including approval of the relevant airport authority, have been obtained and the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Act has terminated. Various other customary closing conditions would be received at or prior to closing, which is expected to occur by the end of August.
Macquarie Securities (USA) Inc. is acting as financial advisor to the Company on the transaction.

8. Comprehensive Income
The Company follows the requirements of FASB Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. FASB Statement No. 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s available for sale securities, foreign currency translation adjustments and change in fair value of interest rate swaps to be included in other comprehensive income (loss).
Total comprehensive income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2005 included $6.0 million and $7.7 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The difference between net income of $5.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and comprehensive income is primarily attributable to an unrealized gain on marketable securities of $8.1 million, offset by both foreign currency translation adjustments of $6.7 million and the change in fair value of interest rate swaps of $1.0 million. The difference between net income of $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and comprehensive income is primarily attributable to an unrealized gain on marketable securities of $9.8 million and an increase in fair value of interest rate swaps of $1.8 million, offset in part by foreign currency translation adjustments of $9.4 million.
9. Stockholders’ Equity

Advisory and Other Services from the Macquarie Group
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Macquarie Group, through its wholly-owned group company, Macquarie Securities (USA) Inc., provided various advisory services and incurred expenses in connection with the acquisition of GAH and the associated debt required for this acquisition. Details on the amounts paid to the Macquarie Group in connection with these services are disclosed in Note 4. During the six months ended June 30, 2005 Macquarie Securities (USA) Inc. also provided various advisory services in connection with the acquisition of Las Vegas Executive Air Terminal (“LVE”), see Note 4. Macquarie Securities (USA) Inc. has also been engaged by the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with various on-going transactions for which no fees had been paid as of June 30, 2005.
Related Party Loans
Macquarie Bank Limited has extended a loan to a subsidiary within our group. Details on this loan are disclosed in Note 7.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company, through its limited liability subsidiaries, has entered into foreign-exchange related derivative instruments with Macquarie Bank Limited to manage its exchange rate exposure on its future cash flows from its non-US investments.
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, South East Water LLC paid £1.4 million to Macquarie Bank Limited and received $2.7 million which closed out a forward contract between the parties.
During the same period, Macquarie Yorkshire LLC paid £1.5 million to Macquarie Bank Limited and received $2.8 million which closed out a forward contract between the parties.
12. Income Taxes
Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust is classified as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and therefore is not subject to income taxes. Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is also not subject to income taxes. MIC Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are subject to income taxes.
Consolidated pre-tax income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $6.5 million. Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC accounted for $6.0 million of total pre-tax income. As a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, this income is not subject to income taxes.
The remaining $0.5 million of pre-tax income was generated at MIC Inc. and is subject to income taxes. The Company records its income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.”
The Company expects to incur a net operating loss for federal consolidated return purposes, as well as certain states that provide for consolidated returns, for the year ended December 31, 2005. Due to the uncertainty of being able to utilize the projected federal and state consolidated 2005 losses, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against all net operating losses. However, the Company has two subsidiaries that expect to generate taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2005, on a separate company basis. As such, a state tax provision of approximately $0.6 million has been recorded for separate company state taxes, on separate company pre-tax income of $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The Company’s net effective rate of 8.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 is primarily due to the benefit of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC’s pre-tax income of $6.0 million not being subject to income taxes less the state tax provision on separate company book income of certain separate entities within MIC Inc.

NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
North America Capital Holding Company is the predecessor company to Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust and is the successor to Executive Air Support, Inc. In accordance with SEC disclosure requirements we have included a consolidated condensed statement of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2004, and a consolidated condensed statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004. We have omitted all financial notes relating to these accompanying statements, as such information can be found in the previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere herein. This discussion contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and are made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. Our actual results and timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Unless required by law, we can undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements. Readers should also carefully review the risk factors set forth in other reports and documents filed from time to time with the SEC.
Except as otherwise specified, “Macquarie Infrastructure Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to both the Trust and the Company and its subsidiaries together. Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc., which we refer to as our Manager or MIMUSA, is part of the Macquarie group of companies, which we refer to as the Macquarie Group, which comprises Macquarie Bank Limited and its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide. Macquarie Bank Limited is headquartered in Australia and is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.
GENERAL
Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, was formed on April 13, 2004. Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC (the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, was also formed on April 13, 2004. The Trust is the sole holder of 100% of the LLC interests of the Company. Prior to December 21, 2004, the Trust was a wholly-owned subsidiary of MIMUSA.
We own, operate and invest in a diversified group of infrastructure businesses, which are businesses that provide basic, everyday services, such as parking, roads and water, through long-life physical assets. These infrastructure businesses operate in sectors with limited competition and high barriers to entry. As a result, they have sustainable and growing long-term cash flows. We operate and finance our businesses in a manner that maximizes these cash flows.
On December 21, 2004, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) and concurrent private placement, issuing a total of 26,610,000 shares of trust stock at a price of $25.00 per share. Total gross proceeds were $665.3 million before offering costs and underwriting fees at June 30, 2005 of $51.6 million. MIMUSA purchased two million shares ($50 million) of the total shares outstanding, through a private placement. The majority of the proceeds were used to acquire our initial infrastructure businesses and investment.
We acquired the Atlantic, AvPorts, Thermal Chicago, Northwind Aladdin and Macquarie Yorkshire businesses and made our investments in South East Water (“SEW”) and Macquarie Communications Infrastructure Group (“MCG”) on December 22, 2004 and acquired our interest in Macquarie Parking on December 23, 2004. These acquisitions were effected by purchasing the shares of North America Capital Holding Company (“NACH”), Macquarie Airports North America, Inc. (“MANA”), Macquarie District Energy Holdings, LLC (“MDEH”), Macquarie Americas Parking Corporation (“MAPC”), Macquarie Yorkshire Limited (“MYL”), stapled securities in MCG and ordinary shares and Preferred Equity Certificates, or PECs, in Macquarie Luxembourg. On January 14, 2005 we acquired General Aviation Holdings, LLC (“GAH”), which became a subsidiary of NACH. Consequently, the results of GAH from the date of its acquisition are reflected in NACH’s results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005.
The purchases of Atlantic, AvPorts, Thermal Chicago, Northwind Aladdin, Macquarie Parking and GAH were recorded by us using the purchase method of accounting, due to our ability to control each business. MCG is accounted for as an available for sale investment and SEW is recorded under the cost method of accounting. Macquarie Yorkshire, through its 50% ownership of Connect M1-A1 Holdings Limited, or CHL, effectively owns 50% of Connect M1-A1 Limited. Our investment in CHL is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

On May 26, 2005, we entered into, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, a membership interest purchase agreement with Mr Gene H. Yamagata to acquire 100% of the membership interests in Eagle Aviation Resources, Ltd., a Nevada limited liability company doing business as Las Vegas Executive Air Terminal (“LVE”) for a total cash purchase price of $58 million (subject to working capital adjustments) with no assumed debt. In addition to the purchase price, it is anticipated that a further $2.3 million will be paid to cover transaction costs and to pre-fund capital expenditures for the facility.
The membership interest purchase agreement contains various provisions customary for transactions of this size and type, including representations, warranties and covenants with respect to the business that are subject to customary limitations. The agreement provides for a one-year escrow of $500,000 to cover working capital adjustments or for indemnities. The amount of indemnification payable under the agreement is limited to 25% of the purchase price, with some exceptions.
All approvals, including approval of the relevant airport authority, have been obtained and the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Act has terminated. Various other customary closing conditions would be received at or prior to closing, which is expected to occur by the end of August.
The results of LVE would be included in results of operations of our airport services segment from the date of our acquisition. We expect that the transaction would be immediately yield accretive. Other than capital required for continued operation of the business, we expect that substantially all of LVE’s cash flow from operations would be available for distribution to our shareholders. We are continuing to evaluate debt refinancing for up to 75% of the purchase price of LVE, when appropriate additional opportunities for deployment of those resources exist, in order to optimize shareholder returns.
We are dependent upon cash distributions from our businesses and investments to meet our corporate overhead and management fee expenses and to pay dividends. We expect to receive dividends from our airport services business, airport parking business and district energy business through our directly owned holding company Macquarie Infrastructure Company Inc. (“MIC Inc.”) for all of our businesses based in the United States. We will receive interest and principal on our subordinated loans to, and dividends from, our toll road business and dividends from our investments in MCG and SEW through directly owned holding companies that we have formed to hold our interest in each business and investment.
Distributions received from our businesses and investments by the above-mentioned directly owned subsidiaries of the Company, net of any tax payable by these subsidiaries, are available first to meet management fees and corporate overhead expenses of these subsidiaries, the Company and the Trust and then to fund dividend payments by the Company to the Trust for payment to holders of Trust stock. Base and performance management fees payable to our Manager are allocated between the Company and the directly owned subsidiaries based on the Company’s internal allocation policy.
On May 14, 2005 our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.50 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, and an additional dividend of $0.0877 per share for the period ended December 31, 2004. The dividend payments were made on June 7, 2005 to holders of record on June 2, 2005. Additionally, on August 8, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.50 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, payable on September 9, 2005 to holders of record on September 6, 2005.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Because we acquired all of our businesses and investments in December, 2004 and thereafter, we cannot provide a comparison between our consolidated results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 with any prior period. We have provided a comparison of the results of our operations by business segment for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 with the results of those businesses and investments (unconsolidated) for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2004.

We recognized net income of $5.6 million in both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005. Our airport services business contributed $1.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of net income. We recorded a net loss of $1.1 million and $513,000 net income for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, from our 50% equity investment in CHL, net of amortization of $1.2 million and $2.4 million for the same periods.
Our district energy business earned net income in the quarter of $409,000 due to strong increases in consumption revenue. Year to date District Energy has a net loss of $353,000 due to higher depreciation and amortization expense.
Our airport parking business had net losses of approximately $43,000 and $455,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. These results were primarily due to increased direct expenses in the airport parking business associated with the new locations opening during the second quarter of 2004. We also recorded $2.2 million in base management fees earned by our Manager for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
We have included EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, on both a consolidated basis as well as for each segment as we consider it to be an important measure of our overall performance. We believe EBITDA provides additional insight into the performance of our operating companies and our ability to service our obligations and support our ongoing dividend policy.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
Key factors affecting the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 were as follows:
    Contribution of positive operating results from two new California FBOs acquired in January 2005
 
    Total fuel volumes (including into-plane volumes as described below) at existing locations increased by 5.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and decreased by 0.8% for the six month period ended June 30, 2005
 
    Conversion of two key customers to into-plane fueling contracts
Quarter Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2004
          Fuel Revenue and Fuel Gross Profit
We generated $24.8 million in fuel revenue during the second quarter of 2005, a $6.5 million, or 35.7%, increase over the second quarter of 2004. This increase was due to a significant increase in average jet fuel prices and a 11.7% increase in jet fuel volumes. GAH contributed $4.9 million to fuel revenue.

21


Table of Contents

Excluding GAH, jet fuel volumes decreased 10.0%. This decline is primarily due to the conversion of two large customers to into-plane contracts in the last quarter of 2004, as described below. Total jet fuel and into-plane volumes, excluding GAH, increased 5.0% in the second quarter 2005 over the second quarter 2004.
During the fourth quarter of 2004, NACH renegotiated certain fuel supply contracts with two large customers. These customers converted from regular fuel sales to contracts under which Atlantic delivers customer-owned fuel to the customers for a specified fee. These arrangements are known as “into-plane” fueling. For accounting purposes revenue and gross profit from into-plane fueling are classified in our results as non-fuel revenue and non-fuel gross profit, respectively, reflecting the lack of price risk with respect to fuel. The differing accounting treatment of revenue and gross profit derived from these large customers from fuel to non-fuel affects the comparison of the 2005 second quarter results with the 2004 second quarter results. Revenue in particular is not comparable as it includes only the fee in 2005, but includes both the cost of fuel and a mark-up in 2004.
We earned $10.6 million in fuel gross profit during the second quarter of 2005, a $1.7 million, or 18.4%, increase over the second quarter of 2004. This was due in part to an increase in average dollar fuel margins and in part to an overall increase in jet fuel volumes as discussed above. Excluding GAH, which contributed $2.0 million to fuel gross profit, fuel gross profit decreased by $344,000 due primarily to the decrease in fuel volumes from the conversion to into-plane contracts as discussed above. However, increases in volumes sold to other customers positively impacted fuel gross profit, offset by slightly lower margins. We generally pursue a strategy of keeping dollar margins relatively steady, thereby passing any increase in fuel prices to the customer. As a result, while rising fuel prices may increase our dollar profit margin, our percentage profit margin will decrease.
          Non-Fuel Revenue and Non-Fuel Gross Profit
During the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same 2004 quarter, non-fuel revenue increased by $2.4 million, or 38.7%, to $8.6 million, and non-fuel gross profit increased by $2.3 million, or 40.6%, to $7.8 million. These increases were due primarily to the acquisition of GAH, which contributed $1.3 million of non-fuel revenue and $1.2 million of non-fuel gross profit, and the conversion to into-plane revenue discussed above, which contributed $739,000 of revenue and gross profit. Excluding GAH and the into-plane conversions, into-plane volumes and margins increased contributing to the increase in gross profit. The balance of the increases in both revenue and gross profit was largely due to increased hangar rentals, mostly due to a new hangar addition completed at the end of 2004.
          Gross Profit
Our gross profit, comprised of our fuel gross profit and non-fuel gross profit, was $18.5 million for the second quarter of 2005, a 26.9% increase over the second quarter of 2004. GAH contributed $3.2 million to this increase. Excluding GAH, gross profit increased by 5.0%.
          Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10.6 million for the second quarter of 2005, an increase of $1.7 million, or 19.5%, over the same 2004 period. GAH contributed $1.8 million to selling, general and administrative expenses. Excluding GAH, expenses declined slightly by 0.3% from the second quarter of 2004. The decrease was largely attributable to lower head office labor expenses.
          Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.9 million, or 186.6%, in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same 2004 period, reflecting the increase in carrying value of Atlantic’s net assets to fair value upon the acquisition of Atlantic by NACH.
          Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense increased by $1.5 million, or 146%, from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005 due to the increase in the level of debt incurred after NACH’s acquisition of Atlantic and the acquisition of GAH in the first quarter of 2005. NACH’s current debt balance is $160.5 million, compared to a debt balance at June 30, 2004 of $33.7 million. Of the current outstanding balance, 75% is hedged until October 2009 through interest rate swaps. On 61% of the current debt the hedges fix the floating component of the interest rate at 3.35% for 3 years, then 4.57% for 2 years, and on 14% of the current debt the hedges fix the floating component of the interest rate at 3.73% for 3 years, then at 4.53% for 2 years.

          Income From Continuing Operations
Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2005 was $1.4 million, a decrease of $744,000 or 35.2% from the second quarter of 2004 largely as a result of higher depreciation, amortization and interest expense due to the Atlantic acquisition, partially offset by higher gross profit due primarily to GAH.

NACH earned $7.8 million in EBITDA in the second quarter of 2005, an increase of $2.2 million, or 40.1%, over the same 2004 period. Excluding GAH, which contributed $1.4 million, EBITDA would have increased by 15.8% or $882,000, largely due to an increase in gross profit and lower head office expenses.
          Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2004
          Fuel Revenue and Fuel Gross Profit
We generated $47.6 million in fuel revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2005, an $11.6 million, or 32.1%, increase over the first six months of 2004. The increase was attributable to a significant increase in average fuel prices and a 12.0% increase in fuel volume. GAH contributed $10.1 million to fuel revenue.
Excluding GAH, fuel volumes decreased 11.4%. This decline is primarily due to the conversion of two large customers to into-plane contracts in the last quarter of 2004, as described above. Total fuel and into-plane volumes, excluding GAH, decreased 0.8% for the six month period ending June 30, 2005 compared to the same 2004 period.
We generated $20.9 million in fuel gross profit during the six months ended June 30, 2005, a $3.2 million, or 18.0%, increase over the first six months of 2004. This was due in part to an increase in average dollar fuel margins and in part to an increase in jet fuel volumes. Excluding GAH, which contributed $4.4 million, fuel gross profit decreased by $1.2 million. This was largely due to the decrease in fuel volumes from the conversion to into-plane contracts as discussed above. However, fuel gross profit was positively impacted by increases in fuel volumes sold to other customers offset by slightly lower average dollar margins.
          Non-Fuel Revenue and Non-Fuel Gross Profit
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same 2004 period, non-fuel revenue increased by $4.5 million, or 35.1%, to $17.4 million, and non-fuel gross profit increased by $4.2 million, or 36.5%, to $15.8 million. These increases were primarily due to GAH, which contributed $2.5 million of non-fuel revenue and $2.3 million of non-fuel gross profit, and the conversion to into-plane contracts discussed above, which contributed $930,000 of revenue and gross profits. The balance of the increases in both revenue and gross profit was primarily due to higher into-plane margins and volumes, increased hangar rentals, mostly due to a new hangar addition completed at the end of 2004 and higher de-icing revenue and profits, partly offset by lower concession fees.
          Gross Profit
Our combined fuel and non-fuel gross profit, was $36.7 million for the first six months of 2005, a 25.3% increase over the first six months of 2004. GAH contributed $6.7 million to the increase. Excluding GAH, gross profit increased 2.3%.
          Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $21.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $3.0 million, or 16.7%, over the same 2004 period. GAH contributed $3.3 million to selling, general and administrative expenses. Excluding GAH, expenses declined by $231,000, or 1.3%, from the first six months of 2004. The decrease was largely attributable to lower corporate center labor expenses.
          Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $3.7 million, or 193%, in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same 2004 period, reflecting the increase in carrying value of Atlantic’s net assets to fair value upon the acquisition of Atlantic by NACH.
          Other Expense
Other expense decreased $4.4 million or 82.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 due to inclusion in 2004 of a non-recurring $5.2 million expense attributable to then outstanding warrants. The warrants were subsequently

Table of Contents

cancelled in connection with the acquisition of Atlantic by NACH. Other expense in the first quarter of 2005 also included $913,000 in underwriting fees incurred in relation to the acquisition of GAH (funded with offering proceeds).
          Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense increased by $3.1 million, or 144% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same 2004 period, due to the increase in the level of debt incurred after NACH’s acquisition of Atlantic and the acquisition of GAH in the first quarter of 2005.
          Income From Continuing Operations
Income from continuing operations for the six months period ended June 30, 2005 was $2.1 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 102.3%, over the same 2004 period largely as a result of higher operating income offset by higher provision for income taxes.
          EBITDA
NACH earned $14.5 million in EBITDA in the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $8.7 million, or 152.0%, over the same 2004 period. Excluding GAH, which contributed $3.3 million, EBITDA would have increased by 95.4% or $5.4 million, largely due to the $5.2 million non-recurring expense for warrants that were subsequently cancelled. The remainder of the change was due to an increase in gross profit and lower head office labor expenses.

          Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
Key factors affecting the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 were as follows:
    Jet fuel volumes increased 6.7% and 6.3% over the prior quarter and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively
 
    Significant increase in de-icing revenue increased six month results
 
    Amortization decreased due mainly to the expiration in November 2004 of a non-compete agreement
 
    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased largely due to the establishment of a stock appreciation rights plan and higher professional fees
          Quarter Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2004
          Fuel Revenue and Fuel Gross Profit
MANA generated $9.4 million in fuel revenue during the second quarter of 2005, an increase of $1.9 million, or 24.8%, over the comparable 2004 period. This was due primarily to an increase of 6.7% in jet fuel volumes and rising fuel costs, which are generally passed through to our customers.
Fuel gross profit increased by $302,000 or 8.4% in the second quarter of 2005, versus the second quarter of 2004. This was due primarily to the aforementioned jet fuel volume increase, as well as a slight increase in dollar margin per gallon.
          Non-Fuel Revenue and Non-Fuel Gross Profit
MANA earned $3.9 million in non-fuel revenue during the second quarter of 2005, an increase of $273,000, or 7.4%, over the

25


Table of Contents

comparable 2004 period. This was due primarily to a 3.4% increase in de-icing revenue, into-plane fuel volumes and an increase in into-plane fees per gallon, as well as an increase in pass-through fees charged to customers on the behalf of respective airport authorities. MANA retains a portion of the pass-through fees.
          Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $369,000, or 8.6%, from the second quarter of 2004 to the same 2005 period. Part of this increase was due to the implementation in the second quarter 2005 of a stock appreciation rights plan for senior employees designed to align their interests with MIC’s interests and to reward employees for outstanding performance. There was a $265,000 accrual related to the establishment of the plan incurred in the second quarter of 2005.
          Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $817,000, or 51.1%, during the second quarter of 2005 versus the same 2004 period, due primarily to the expiration in November 2004 of a two year $7.5 million non-compete agreement. This decrease was partially offset by higher amortization expense due to the recording of MANA’s net assets at fair value upon acquisition.
          Interest Expense, Net
MANA’s interest expense decreased by $170,000, or 18.6%, during the second quarter of 2005 versus the same 2004 period. Interest expense included non-cash amortization of debt issuance costs of $169,000 in the second quarter of 2004, which was eliminated as part of our acquisition of MANA. MANA’s current debt balance is $36.0 million, of which 75% is hedged until November 2007 through interest rate swaps. These swaps effectively fix the floating component of the interest rate on 75% of the debt at 3.55%. Interest expense in the second quarter of 2005 included $284,000 on fixed rate intercompany debt. The intercompany debt balance of $12.0 million was converted to equity on June 27, 2005.
          Net Income (Loss)
MANA’s net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $348,000, an increase of $875,000 over the second quarter of 2004, largely due to lower amortization expense and higher gross profit, offset by higher income tax expense due to the increase in operating income.
          EBITDA
MANA earned $2.1 million in EBITDA in the second quarter of 2005, an increase of $144,000, or 7.3%, over the second quarter of 2004. This was due primarily to higher fuel volumes and increased into-plane volumes and margins leading to stronger gross profits. These increases were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily the result of establishing the stock appreciation rights plan discussed above.
          Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2004
          Fuel Revenue and Fuel Gross Profit
MANA generated $17.0 million in fuel revenue during the first six months of 2005, an increase of $3.2 million, or 22.9%, over the comparable 2004 period. This was due primarily to an increase of 6.3% in jet fuel volumes and rising fuel costs, which are generally passed through to our customers.
Fuel gross profit increased by $153,000, or 2.3%, in the first six months of 2005, versus the comparable 2004 period. This was due primarily to the aforementioned volume increase, partially offset by a decrease in dollar margin per gallon.
          Non-Fuel Revenue and Non-Fuel Gross Profit
MANA’s $1.2 million, or 13.6%, increase in non-fuel revenue to $9.7 million in the first six months of 2005 from the comparable 2004 period, resulted largely from an $814,000 increase in commercial de-icing revenue at our northeast locations due to colder weather conditions. MANA also had increases in into-plane fuel revenue due to a 4% increase in volumes, and rental revenue due to expanded hangar capacity. The increases were partially offset by a decline in FBO service revenue. Non-fuel gross profit increased $925,000, or 14.9% on the strength of higher revenue offset by higher costs of $237,000.

          Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $825,000, or 9.8%, in the first six months of 2005 compared to the comparable 2004 period. This increase was largely due to higher professional fees and the implementation of a stock appreciation rights plan.
          Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $1.6 million, or 51.3%, in the first six months of 2005 from the comparable 2004 period, due primarily to the expiration in November 2004 of a two year $7.5 million non-compete agreement. This decrease was partially offset by higher amortization expense due to recording MANA’s net assets at fair value upon acquisition.
          Interest Expense, Net
MANA’s interest expense decreased by $302,000, or 16.5%, during the first six months 2005 versus the same 2004 period. Interest expense included non-cash amortization of debt issuance costs of $338,000 in the first half of 2004, which was eliminated as part of our acquisition of MANA.
          Net Income (Loss)
MANA’s net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $1.0 million, an increase of $1.6 million over the six months ended 2004, largely as a result of higher gross profit and lower amortization expense, offset by higher income tax expense due to the increase in operating income.
          EBITDA
MANA earned $4.9 million of EBITDA in the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $271,000, or 5.9%, over the first half of 2004. This was due mainly to increased de-icing activity, fuel volumes and increased into-plane volumes and margins, leading to stronger gross profits. These increases were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses primarily the result of establishing the stock appreciation rights plan discussed above and higher professional fees.

          Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
Key factors affecting the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 were as follows:
    Customers using our pre-existing parking facilities increased by 5.1% and 6.0% for the quarter and six months, respectively, compared to the same period in 2004
 
    Internet marketing initiatives and increased air passenger traffic generated higher volumes of customers which increased overall revenue, but we believe shorter lengths of stay put downward pressure on revenue per car out
 
    Higher EBITDA for the quarter primarily reflects reduced operating losses at our new facilities. Lower EBITDA for the six months reflects operating losses at the new facilities for the full six months in 2005
 
    Operating margins at our pre-existing facilities improved
          Quarter Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2004
          Revenue
MAPC revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 of $14.3 million was $1.2 million or 9.3% higher than in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 due to additional revenue of $905,000 from new facilities and an increase of $563,000 in revenue from pre-existing facilities. We consider pre-existing facilities to be facilities that were in operation at the beginning of the second quarter 2004, in contrast to new facilities. Revenue from pre-existing facilities increased due to an overall increase in air passenger traffic at our locations and the results of internet marketing initiatives. Two of our new facilities commenced operations in the second quarter of 2004, one of which did not generate significant revenue until September 2004 and the other is being used as an overflow lot pending conversion to a stand alone facility. The increase in revenue in 2005 was partially offset by non-recurring revenue of $251,000 from the cash settlement of

Table of Contents

an early contract termination in 2004. As illustrated in the following table, our airport parking business benefited from an increase in customer volume during the June quarter versus the same quarter in 2004.
                         
    June 30, 2005     June 30, 2004     Percentage Change  
Overnight Occupancy
    15,751       14,712       7.1 %
Total Cars Out
    389,416       343,013       13.5 %
Cars Out at Pre-existing Facilities
    360,619       343,013       5.1 %
Overnight occupancy represents the occupancy at the lowest point of the day and does not reflect turnover and intra-day activity. Cars out represents the number of customers who depart within the quarter.
While cars out at new and pre-existing facilities increased 13.5%, revenue increased just 9.3%. We believe this is due to the average revenue per car out having declined as a result of an increase in customers with shorter lengths of stay.
Although the number of cars using our facilities has generally increased over 2004, our airport parking business has capacity to accommodate further growth. At facilities where we are operating at peak capacity intra day, we are currently utilizing overflow lots. We are also exploring opportunities for additional overflow facilities and the use of car lifts.
Throughout second quarter and the beginning of third quarter 2005, we selectively increased rates and reduced discounts. The second quarter 2005 does not fully reflect the effect of these changes. We continuously monitor and seek to rationalize our pricing policies in our parking business.
          Direct Expenses
Direct expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 increased by $740,000, or 7.8% to $10.2 million. This primarily resulted from an increase in direct costs at new locations of $564,000. Direct costs at pre-existing locations increased by $174,000 as a result of an additional $345,000 in non-cash deferred rent expenses from securing our 30 year lease at our Hartford facilities offset by a reduction in operating costs and depreciation.
          Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2005 increased by $187,000, or 17.1%, over the second quarter of 2004 primarily due to payroll and consulting fees in connection with the creation of a national operations team. The national operations team is an integral part of our strategy to increase cash flow at existing sites as well as integrate new sites effectively.
          Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization decreased largely as a result of accelerated amortization of customer contracts that terminated early in 2004, partially offset by an increase in the carrying value to fair value of the assets acquired when MAPC was purchased by us on December 23, 2004.
          Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense in the second quarter 2005 increased by $294,000, or 14.7%, compared to the same 2004 period, as the LIBOR rates increased to 3.09% in June 2005 compared to 1.12% in June 2004. The current rate is still below the LIBOR interest rate cap of 4.5%. Interest expense was partially offset by the elimination of deferred finance cost amortization resulting from our acquisition.
          Net Loss
Our parking business recorded a net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 of $43,000 compared to a net loss of $372,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The improvement was primarily due to reduced operating losses at new facilities, improved operating income efficiencies at pre-existing facilities and reduced amortization of intangibles. Overall improvements were partially offset by increases in selling, general and administration expenses, non-recurring revenue from cash settlement of the early contract termination in 2004, additional rental expense associated with securing a 30 year lease at our Hartford facilities and higher debt service costs.
          EBITDA
EBITDA in the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $3.4 million, a $133,000, or 4.1%, increase from the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The increase was primarily due to a reduction in operating losses at our new facilities and an increase in operating income at pre-existing facilities. This increase was offset by higher selling, general and administration expenses and non-recurring revenue from

cash settlement of the early contract termination in 2004.
          Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2004
          Revenue
MAPC revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2005 of $27.6 million was 9.4% higher than in the six months ended June 30, 2004 due to additional revenue of $1.7 million from new facilities and an increase of $1.1 million in revenue from pre-existing facilities. Revenue from pre-existing facilities increased due to an overall increase in air passenger traffic at our locations and the results of internet marketing initiatives. The increase in revenue was partially offset by a non-recurring revenue of $502,000 from the cash settlement of an early contract termination in 2004.
As illustrated in the following table, our airport parking business benefited from an increase in customer volume during the first half of 2005 versus the same period in 2004.
                         
    Six Months Ended     Six Months Ended        
    June 30, 2005     June 30, 2004     Percentage Change  
Overnight Occupancy
    15,201       14,087       8.0 %
Total Cars Out
    745,898       654,294       14.0 %
Cars Out at Pre-existing Facilities
    693,382       654,294       6.0 %
Overnight occupancy represents the occupancy at the lowest point of the day and does not reflect turnover and intra-day activity. Cars out represents the number of customers who depart within the quarter.
While cars out increased 14.0% at new and pre-existing facilities, revenue increased just 9.4%. This is a function of the average rate per car out having declined as a result an increase in customers with shorter lengths of stay including intra-day airport employee customers.
          Direct Expenses
Direct expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased in the first half of 2005 by $2.4 million, or 13%, to $20.3 million. This resulted from increased costs at our new facilities of $1.8 million. Direct costs at our pre-existing facilities increased by $588,000 as a result of increased rent expense in the amount of $673,000 from securing our 30 year lease in Hartford locations. Of this increased rent expense $600,000 is classified as rent in excess of lease and is a non-cash item. Total non-cash rental expense for all locations was $1.0 million and $446,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively.
          Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the first half of 2005 by $227,000, or 11.2%, compared to the first half of 2004 as a result of higher professional and consulting fees, and payroll costs associated with the creation of a national operations team.
          Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization decreased largely as a result of accelerated amortization of customer contracts that terminated early in 2004, partially offset by an increase in the carrying value to fair value of the assets acquired when MAPC was purchased by us on December 23, 2004.
          Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense in the first six months of 2005 increased by $437,000, or 11.0%, over the first six months of 2004 as the LIBOR rate increased to 3.09% as at June 2005 compared to 1.12% in June 2004. The current rate is still below the LIBOR interest rate cap of 4.5%in the parking business’s credit facility. Interest expense was partially offset by the elimination of deferred finance cost amortization resulting from our acquisition.
          Net Loss
Our parking business recorded a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 of $455,000 compared to a net loss of $360,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This was primarily due to increased interest expense and selling, general, and administration expense offset by a reduction in amortization of intangibles. The decrease in gross profit reflects the cash settlement of an early contract termination in 2004 and additional rental expense associated with securing a 30 year lease at our Hartford facilities. Operating

losses at new facilities were recorded in both quarters of the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to only one quarter of the comparable period in 2004.
          EBITDA
EBITDA in the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $6.2 million, a $376,000, or 5.7%, decrease from the six months ended June 30, 2004. This was primarily due to a full six months of operating losses at new facilities and increased selling, general, and administration expense. The decrease in gross profit reflects the cash settlement of an early contract termination in 2004 and additional rental expense associated with securing a 30 year lease at our Hartford facilities. Operating losses at new facilities were recorded in both quarters of the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to only one quarter of the comparable period in 2004.

The majority of revenue generated by our District Energy business is fixed capacity payments and variable usage payments. Capacity revenue is generated regardless of the actual volume of cooling used. Consumption revenue varies based on the actual volume of cooling. The business generates finance lease revenue from equipment leasing agreements with certain customers.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
Key factors affecting the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2004 were as follows:
    Capacity revenue generally increased in-line with inflation
 
    Excluding ETT Nevada, consumption ton-hours sold were higher mostly due to above average temperature in Chicago in June 2005
 
    EBITDA was higher largely due to the inclusion of ETT Nevada
 
    Excluding ETT Nevada and non-recurring financial restructuring gain in 2004 of $1.3 million, EBITDA increased by 19.8%

      in the three months ended June 30, 2005
          Quarter Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2004
          Revenue
Revenue increased by approximately $2.6 million, or 29.6%, in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the second quarter of 2004. ETT Nevada contributed $1.8 million of the increase, including $566,000 in cooling consumption revenue, $1.0 million in finance lease revenue, and $238,000 in other revenue.
Excluding ETT Nevada, revenue increased at Thermal Chicago by approximately $802,000, or 9.1%, from the second quarter 2004. This included an increase in cooling consumption revenue of $747,000 primarily due to an increase in consumption ton-hours sold of 12.8% mostly due to above average temperature in Chicago in June 2005, and annual scheduled increases in contract consumption rates. The remainder was primarily due to annual inflation-related increases of contract capacity rates in accordance with the terms of existing customer contracts. Contracted capacity increased during the second quarter with a new customer expected to be on-line in mid 2006.
          Direct Expenses — Electricity
Direct expenses for electricity increased approximately $801,000, or 32.6%, in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the second quarter of 2004, of which $433,000 relates to ETT Nevada.
Excluding ETT Nevada, direct expense for electricity increased by approximately $368,000, or 15.0%, from the second quarter of 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher consumption ton-hours sold, which led to incremental electricity expense of $319,000. The balance of the increase relates to new transmission charges passed on to us beginning in May 2004 by the one electricity supplier that provides power under a retail energy supply contract. These charges will not vary significantly with consumption levels.
          Other Direct Expenses
Other direct expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 44.6%, in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the second quarter of 2004, of which $323,000 relates to ETT Nevada.
Excluding ETT Nevada, other direct expenses increased by $1.1 million, or 34.2%, from the second quarter of 2004. The primary causes were $720,000 of additional depreciation resulting from recording the acquisition of Thermal Chicago by MDEH at fair value, $270,000 related to the timing of operations and maintenance expense for reliability and required corrective maintenance issues, and additional direct labor costs from scheduled increases in wages and benefits for union workers. We expect the timing difference in operations and maintenance expense to reverse over the remainder of the year.
          Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $398,000, or 31.7%, in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the second quarter of 2004. Excluding ETT Nevada’s expense of $71,000, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $470,000, or 37.4%, from the second quarter of 2004 due to the absence of expenses related to the sale of Thermal Chicago by Exelon in 2004.
          Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization of intangibles increased by $313,000 in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the second quarter of 2004 as a result of the increase in the carrying value of intangible assets to fair value resulting from the acquisition of Thermal Chicago by MDEH on June 30, 2004.
          Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense decreased by approximately $9.5 million, or 82.6%, in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the second quarter of 2004. This substantial decrease was due to a one time make-whole payment to redeem outstanding bonds prior to the acquisition of Thermal Chicago by MDEH. The $2.0 million of net interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 primarily relates to the interest expense associated with long term debt of $120 million outstanding at June 30, 2005. Of the $11.5 million of net interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, $10.3 million relates to the make-whole payment, $339,000 relates to the termination of

33


Table of Contents

an interest rate swap that was used to hedge MDE’s long term interest rate risk pending issuance of notes in the private placement, with the remainder relating to the average outstanding debt balance at June 30, 2004.
          Other Income
Other income for the second quarter of 2005 was $1.1 million, or 80.3%, lower than for the second quarter of 2004. This decrease was largely due to a non-recurring gain of $1.3 million from financial restructuring undertaken by Exelon prior to the sale of Thermal Chicago to MDEH in June 2004. The balance relates to a minority investor’s share of a $925,000 settlement providing for the early release of escrow on the Aladdin bankruptcy. Our majority share of this amount is recorded as a purchase price adjustment.
          Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
No income tax expense was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to an income tax benefit of $2.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The tax benefit for 2004 relates directly to losses at Thermal Chicago prior to the MDEH acquisition on June 30, 2004.
          Net Income (Loss)
Net income was $409,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to a net loss of $5.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The improvement in net income from the second quarter of 2004 was largely due to the inclusion of ETT Nevada combined with acquisition-related 2004 selling, general and administrative expenses and the make–whole payment on debt in 2004. The increase was partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization charges, the 2004 non-recurring tax benefit and other income from a financial restructuring.
          EBITDA
EBITDA was $4.2 million, including $868,000 from ETT Nevada for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, approximately $121,000, or 3.0%, higher than in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. EBITDA, excluding ETT Nevada, was $747,000, or 18.3%, lower in the second quarter 2005 due to a $1.3 million non-recurring financial restructuring gain in 2004. Exclusive of the one-time gain, EBITDA, excluding ETT Nevada, would have been $553,000, or 19.8% higher than the quarter ended June 30, 2004.
          Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2004
          Revenue
Revenue increased by approximately $4.2 million, or 28.2%, for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2004. ETT Nevada contributed $3.5 million of the increase, including $1.0 million in cooling consumption revenue, $2.0 million in finance lease revenue, and $496,000 in other revenue.
Excluding ETT Nevada, revenue at Thermal Chicago increased by approximately $699,000, or 4.7%, from the six month period ended June 30, 2004. This included an increase in cooling consumption revenue of $616,000 primarily due to an increase in consumption ton-hours sold of 8.0% mostly due to above average temperature in Chicago in June 2005, and annual scheduled increases in contract consumption rates. The remainder was primarily due to annual inflation-related increases of contract capacity rates in accordance with the terms of existing customer contracts offset by a one-time credit to a customer.
          Direct Expenses – Electricity
Direct expenses for electricity increased approximately $1.2 million, or 38.1%, for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004, of which $649,000 relates to ETT Nevada.
Excluding ETT Nevada, direct expense for electricity increased by approximately $532,000, or 17.2%, from the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher consumption ton-hours sold, which led to incremental electricity expense of $270,000. The balance of the increase relates to new transmission charges passed on to us beginning in May 2004 by the one electricity supplier that provides power under a retail energy supply contract. These charges will not vary significantly with consumption levels.
          Other Direct Expenses
Other direct expenses increased by $2.4 million, or 40.8%, in the six month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six month

period ended June 30, 2004, of which $655,000 relates to ETT Nevada.
Excluding ETT Nevada, other direct expenses increased by $1.8 million, or 29.7%, from the six months ended June 30, 2004. The primary causes were $1.4 million of additional depreciation as a result of increase in the carrying value of assets to fair value resulting from the acquisition of Thermal Chicago by MDEH on June 30, 2004, $239,000 relates to the timing of operations and maintenance expense for reliability and required corrective maintenance issues, and the remainder consisted of additional direct labor costs from scheduled increases in wages and benefits for union workers. We expect the timing difference in operations and maintenance expense to reverse over the remainder of the year.
          Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $417,000, or 19.6%, in the six month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2004. Excluding ETT Nevada’s expense of $172,000 selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $589,000, or 27.6%, from the first six months of 2004 due to 2004 expenses related to the sale of Thermal Chicago by Exelon in 2004.
          Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization of intangibles increased by $622,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004 as a result of the increase in the carrying value of intangible assets to fair value resulting from the acquisition of Thermal Chicago by MDEH on June 30, 2004.
          Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense decreased by approximately $8.5 million, or 67.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. This substantial decrease was due to a one-time make-whole payment to redeem outstanding bonds prior to the acquisition of Thermal Chicago by MDEH on June 30, 2004. The $4.2 million of net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 primarily relates to the interest expense associated with long term debt of $120 million outstanding at June 30, 2005. Of the $12.6 million of net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004, $10.3 million relates to the make-whole payment, $339,000 relates to the termination of an interest rate swap that was used to hedge MDE’s long term interest rate risk pending issuance of notes in the private placement, with the remainder relating to the average outstanding debt balance at June 30, 2004.
          Other Income
Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $1.1 million, or 78.7% lower than for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This decrease was largely due to a non-recurring gain of $1.3 million from financial restructuring undertaken by Exelon prior to the sale of Thermal Chicago to MDEH in June 2004. The balance relates to a minority investor’s share of a $925,000 settlement providing for the early release of escrow on the Aladdin bankruptcy. Our majority share of this amount is recorded as a purchase price adjustment.
          Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
No income tax expense was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to income tax benefit of $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The tax benefit for 2004 was generated by the net loss incurred by Thermal Chicago prior to its sale to MDEH in June 2004.
          Net Income ( Loss)
Net loss was $353,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to a net loss of $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The improvement was largely due to the inclusion of ETT Nevada combined with acquisition-related 2004 selling, general and administrative expenses, and the make-whole payment on debt in 2004. This increase was partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization charges, the 2004 non-recurring tax benefit and other income from a financial restructuring.
          EBITDA
EBITDA was $7.3 million, including $1.8 million from ETT Nevada for the six months ended June 30, 2005, approximately $837,000, or 12.9% higher than in the six months ended June 30, 2004. EBITDA, excluding ETT Nevada, was $1.0 million, or

15.4%, lower for the six months ended June 30, 2004 due to a $1.3 million non-recurring financial restructuring gain in 2004. Exclusive of the one-time gain, EBITDA would have been $337,000 or 6.5% higher than the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Toll Road Business
Our consolidated results related to the toll road business consist of three components:
    Our equity in the earnings of CHL, which we hold through MYL, plus amortization charges, which reflect the amortization expense resulting from the increase to fair value of our investment upon our acquisition of 100% of MYL,
 
    Net interest income resulting from loans between us and a subsidiary of CHL, and
 
    Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses of MYL.
          Quarter Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2004
For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, our share of the earnings of CHL plus amortization was $1.1 million, consisting of amortization expense of $1.2 million partially offset by our share of earnings of CHL of $36,000. CHL recorded a decline in earnings in second quarter primarily due to a decrease in the value of interest rate swaps as discussed below.
Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $198,000, consisting of interest income of $457,000 partially offset by interest expense of $259,000. MYL’s selling, general and administrative expense totalled $118,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
CHL’s revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was £12.3 million, 4.2% higher than for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. This was due to a 1.9% increase in vehicle kilometers for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to the quarter ended June 20, 2004 and a scheduled increase in toll bands and rates permitted under concession agreement.
Direct expenses were £2.8 million, including £2.5 million of depreciation expense. Expenses for the quarter were 6.7% lower than the quarter ended June 30, 2004 due to the elimination of the technical services fee. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was £0.1 million. This included a £4.7 million decrease in the value of the interest rate swaps held by CHL during the quarter due to lower interest rates.
          Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2004
          Net Income
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, our share of the earnings of CHL plus amortization was $513,000, consisting of our share of earnings of CHL of $3.0 million partially offset by amortization expense of $2.4 million.
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $415,000, consisting of interest income of $933,000 partially offset by interest expense of $519,000. MYL’s selling, general and administrative expense totalled $572,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
CHL’s revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was £23.9 million, 3.9% higher than for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This was due to a 0.9% increase in vehicle kilometers for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 20, 2004 and a scheduled increase in toll bands and rates permitted under concession agreement.
Direct expenses were £5.5 million, including £4.7 million of depreciation expense. Expenses for the six months to June 30, 2005 were 9.8% lower than the quarter ended June 30, 2004 due to the elimination of the technical services fee. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was £2.9 million. This included a £4.1 million decrease in the value of the interest rate swaps held by CHL during the six month period due to lower interest rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We do not intend to retain significant cash balances in excess of what is required as prudent reserves and currently do not have in place any credit facilities at the holding company level. We believe that we will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our future liquidity requirements and make regular distributions to our shareholders. Specifically, we believe that our cash from operations and investments, plus $14.4 million of cash in our acquired businesses (net of reserves), will be sufficient to meet our expected dividend payments in 2005. Included in cash in acquired businesses is a working capital adjustment of $3.8 million to the Atlantic purchase price. The section below discusses the consolidated sources and uses of cash.
Our Consolidated Cash Flow
Our financial statements include a consolidated condensed statement of cash flows from operating, financing and investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Since we acquired our businesses and investments in late December 2004 and January 2005, our consolidated cash flows would not be comparable to any prior period.

On a consolidated basis, cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $20.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This is primarily comprised of the operating income of our business segments and income earned from our investments. Cash provided by operating activities is significantly higher than net income primarily due to non-cash expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense of $13.5 million, and deferred rent expense of $1.2 million, and receipts of equipment lease receivables from our district energy business of $789,000. These increases were offset in part by net changes in operating assets and liabilities, which primarily consists of an increase in accounts receivable of $4.5 million, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3.2 million, offset by reduction of prepaid expenses and current assets of $2.6 million and an increase in due to Manager of $2.0 million.
Cash flow used in investing activities totaled $51.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, which primarily reflects our acquisition of GAH of $49.6 million, capital expenditures of $3.4 million, offset in part by payments received from our shareholder loan to Connect M1-A1 Limited of $686,000. We received a bankruptcy settlement pertaining to our district energy business of $925,000, of which $694,000 was recorded as a purchase accounting adjustment to goodwill and the remaining $231,000 recorded as other income which was wholly allocated to minority interests. The terms of the settlement require the proceeds to be applied to debt reduction. As we are holders of the debt we are entitled to the entire settlement.
Cash flow provided by financing activities totaled $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, which reflects debt proceeds of $32.0 million to fund our acquisition of GAH and establish related debt reserves of $1.1 million and proceeds of $542,000 from an existing line of credit facility to fund capital expenditures of Thermal Chicago. These increases were reduced in part by our initial distribution paid to shareholders on June 7, 2005 of $15.9 million.
For further discussion of the debt and capital expenditures at our businesses, our liquidity and capital resources, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results on Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Cash Flows Provided from (Used in) Financing Activities by our Consolidated Businesses” and “– Capital Expenditures” in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, which is incorporated by reference into this report except as noted below.
With respect to our airport services business – Atlantic, we are required to maintain a Debt to EBITDA ratio of 6.00 or less in the first

year. At December 31, 2004 the Debt to EBITDA ratio was 5.98. As of June 30, 2005, the Debt to EBITDA ratio improved to 5.74.
With respect to our airport services business – AvPorts, we are required to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of 1.625. At December 31, 2004 the debt service coverage ratio was 4.92. As of June 30, 2005, the debt service coverage ratio improved to 5.58.
With respect to our airport parking business – we are required to maintain various debt services reserves totaling $5.7 million. These reserves are currently, and as of June 30, 2005 were, fully funded.
With respect to our district energy business, the terms of the notes provide that if, nine months after the closing date of the Northwind Aladdin acquisition, Macquarie District Energy, Inc. (the wholly-owned subsidiary of MDEH and parent company of Thermal Chicago and Northwind Aladdin), or MDE, and its subsidiaries are unable to confirm that they are not subject to regulation by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada or are unable to obtain a certificate of public convenience and necessity, the debt service coverage ratio calculation would be adjusted to exclude from cash flow the revenue, but not the operating, maintenance and capital expenditure costs, derived from Northwind Aladdin’s operations unless an indemnity is obtained from the direct or indirect parent of MDE that satisfies certain creditworthiness requirements. On April 27, 2005, the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada issued a declaratory order stating that the Northwind Aladdin facility and its related services are beyond the scope of regulation anticipated by state statute. The order also stated that Northwind Aladdin operates outside of the Commission’s jurisdiction and does not require a certificate of public convenience and necessity. Therefore, MDE is not required to adjust its debt service coverage ratio calculation under the notes. MDE is required to maintain a debt service ratio of 1.25:1. As of June 30, 2005 the debt service coverage ratio was 2.26:1.
Capital Expenditures
On a consolidated basis, we expect to incur $6.2 million of ongoing capital expenditures and $5.6 million of specific capital expenditure expansion projects in fiscal year 2005. Of these amounts, $5.4 million is to be financed with proceeds from our initial public offering with the balance funded from cash acquired with the acquisitions of our businesses, cash from operations and available debt facilities. All of the ongoing and specific capital expenditures will be incurred at the operating segment level. As of June 30, 2005, we had incurred $4.8 million in capital expenditures in the aggregate.
We have detailed our capital expenditures on a segment-by-segment basis, which we believe is a more appropriate approach to explaining our capital expenditure requirements on a consolidated basis.
          Airport Services Business
          Ongoing Capital Expenditure
Atlantic expects to spend approximately $2.4 million, or $200,000 per FBO, per year on ongoing capital expenditure. This amount is spent on items such as repainting, replacing equipment as necessary and any ongoing environmental or required regulatory expenditure, such as installing safety equipment. This expenditure is funded from cash flow from operations. Through the first six months of 2005 Atlantic has spent $860,000 on such capital expenditures.
AvPorts expects to spend approximately $500,000 to $600,000 per year on ongoing capital expenditure. This expenditure is expected to be funded from cash flows from operations. Through the first six months of 2005 AvPorts has spent $324,000 on such capital expenditures.
          Specific Capital Expenditure
We intend to incur a total of approximately $8.7 million of specific capital expenditure in fiscal years 2005 and 2006, primarily related to facility upgrades and new construction. We intend to fund these capital expenditures either from the proceeds of our initial public offering or from the cash that we acquired with our acquisitions of NACH and MANA. As of June 30, 2005 Atlantic and AvPorts have spent $728,000 and $466,000, respectively, on specific projects.
          Airport Parking Business
          Ongoing Capital Expenditure
Macquarie Parking expects to spend approximately $2.2 million per year on ongoing capital expenditure, including lease payments for its operating leases on shuttle buses and other equipment. Macquarie Parking intends to finance the majority of this cost expenditure using capital leases. As of June 30, 2005, Macquarie Parking has spent $966,000 related to ongoing capital expenditures and has

currently committed to spending at least $1.2 million during fiscal 2005.
          Specific Capital Expenditure
Macquarie Parking does not expect to spend a material amount on specific capital expenditures in 2005. However, there are a number of revenue enhancing opportunities currently being assessed, which may require capital expenditure, include adding a vehicle lift system to manage additional demand at a specific location.
          District Energy Business
          Ongoing Capital Expenditure
Thermal Chicago expects to spend approximately $1.0 million per year on capital expenditures relating to the replacement of parts and minor system modifications. We have made modifications that have increased capacity by 3,000 tons over last year’s capacity. Ongoing capital expenditures will be funded from available debt facilities through 2007 and thereafter are expected to be funded from cash flow from operations.
          Specific Capital Expenditure
We anticipate that Thermal Chicago will spend up to approximately $7.0 million over two years starting in 2007 which, in conjunction with their operational strategy, will add approximately 13,000 tons of additional saleable capacity to the Chicago downtown cooling system. Previously, this $7.0 million expansion was contemplated to start in 2006, however, due to timing of new customer building completions, this expenditure can be delayed at least until 2007. A portion of this increased capacity (6,700 tons) will be used to accommodate four customers who will convert from interruptible to continuous service in 2006, with the balance sold to new or existing customers. We anticipate that the expanded capacity sold to new or existing customers will be under contract or subject to letters of intent prior to Thermal Chicago committing to the capital expenditure. A permit revision from environmental agencies will be required in order to undertake this expansion and potentially from the City of Chicago if expansion of the existing distribution system is required beyond a certain limit. Based on recent contract experience, we anticipate that each ton sold under contract will add approximately $375 to annual revenue with approximately 50% of this increased revenue in the form of cooling capacity revenue and the balance as cooling consumption revenue.
Thermal Chicago expects to fund this capital expenditure by drawing on available debt facilities.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Class A Lender severally agrees to make term loans (each a "Class A Loan" and collectively the "Class A Loans") to the Borrower during the Term Loan Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount of such Term Loan Lender's Class A Commitment, and each Class B Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (each a "Class B Loan" and collectively the "Class B Loans", and together with the Class A Loans, the "Term Loans") to the Borrower during the Term Loan Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount of such Term Loan Lender's Class B Commitment. Each Class A Loan and Class B Loan shall be made as part of a Term Loan Borrowing consisting of Class A Loans and Class B Loans (ratably in accordance with the respective Class A Commitments and Class B Commitments) made by the Class A Lenders and the Class B Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Term Loans shall be available in not more than two Borrowings: one Borrowing in an amount not exceeding $130,000,000 for the purposes specified in Section 2.6(a); and another Borrowing in an amount not exceeding $32,000,000 for the purposes specified in Section 2.6(b). (b) Term Loan Borrowing Procedures. (i) To request a Term Loan Borrowing, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Term Loan Borrowing Request in the form of Exhibit A, appropriately completed, which Borrowing Request specifies: (A) the aggregate amount of the requested Term Loan Borrowing (which shall be not less than $1,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000); (B) the respective portions of such Term Loan Borrowing consisting of Class A Loans and Class B Loans, respectively; (C) the proposed date of such Term Loan Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; (D) the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto; and (E) the proposed use of the proceeds thereof. Each Term Loan Borrowing Request must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Term Loan Borrowing and not earlier than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, ten (10) Business Days before the date of the proposed Term Loan Borrowing. (ii) Promptly following receipt of a Term Loan Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.1, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Term Loan Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Term Loan Lender's Loan to be made as part of the requested Term Loan Borrowing. Each Term Loan Lender shall make each Term Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Term Loan Lenders. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the Administrative Agent will make such Term Loans available to the Borrower by 2:00 p.m. by wire transfer of such funds, in accordance with instructions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent provided by the Borrower. (iii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Term Loan Lender prior to the proposed date of any Term Loan Borrowing that such Term Loan Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Term Loan Lender's share of such Term Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Term Loan Lender will make such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.1(b)(ii) and may, in 2 reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If a Term Loan Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Term Loan Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Term Loan Lender shall forthwith pay to the Administrative Agent on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Term Loan Lender does not pay such amount within three (3) Business Days after the date of such Term Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor from the Borrower, and the Borrower shall, without limitation of the Borrower's rights against the defaulting Lender, pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon from the date such amount was made available to the Borrower at the interest rate per annum applicable to the Term Loans advanced on the date of such Term Loan Borrowing. A notice of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Term Loan Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. (iv) The failure of any Term Loan Lender to make any Term Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Term Loan Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Term Loan Commitments of the Term Loan Lenders are several and no Term Loan Lender shall be responsible for any other Term Loan Lender's failure to make Term Loans as required herein. (c) Limitation on Term Loan Commitments. The Borrower acknowledges that, as of the Closing Date, there are no Term Loan Commitments with respect to the second Borrowing of Term Loans, and that such Term Loan Commitments shall only become available at such time as one or more Eligible Assignees become Term Lenders party hereto in accordance with Section 10.17. The Borrower further acknowledges that neither the Lead Arranger nor the Administrative Agent has made any representation or warranty as to the availability of or prospects for any such Eligible Assignee becoming a Term Loan Lender. Neither the Lead Arranger nor the Administrative Agent has any duty or responsibility to solicit any such Eligible Assignee. Section 2.2 Revolving Loan Facility. (a) Revolving Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Revolving Loan Lender agrees to make loans (each, a "Revolving Loan") to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Loan Commitment Period in such amounts as the Borrower may request under this Section 2.2 (and thereafter to make additional Revolving Loans to reimburse the Issuing Bank for Drawings under Letters of Credit as provided in Section 2.13); provided that the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount outstanding of all Revolving Loans made by the Revolving Loan Lender after giving effect to all prepayment and repayments thereof and (B) the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Usage shall not exceed (1) the Revolving Loan Commitment at any given time or (2) the Borrowing Base as determined on the basis of the most recent monthly operating report of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower 3 may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans until the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date. (b) Revolving Loan Borrowing Procedures. (i) To request a Revolving Loan Borrowing (other than a Borrowing to reimburse the Issuing Bank in respect of a Drawing), the Borrower shall deliver to the Revolving Loan Lender (with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent) an irrevocable Revolving Loan Borrowing Request in the form of Exhibit B-1, appropriately completed and duly signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, which Revolving Loan Borrowing Request shall specify: (A) the aggregate amount of the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing (which shall be not less than $100,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $50,000); (B) the proposed date of such Revolving Loan Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; and (C) whether the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing is to consist of Base Rate Revolving Loans or LIBOR Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Loan Borrowing Request for a Revolving Loan Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Revolving Loans must be received by the Revolving Loan Lender (with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent) not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of such proposed Revolving Loan Borrowing, and each Revolving Loan Borrowing Request for a Revolving Loan Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Revolving Loans must be received by the Revolving Loan Lender (with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent) not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of (or, if agreed to in writing by the Revolving Loan Lender, on the date of) such proposed Revolving Loan Borrowing. If no election as to the Type of Revolving Loan Borrowing is specified in the applicable Revolving Loan Borrowing Request, then the requested Revolving Loan Borrowing shall consist of Base Rate Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Loan Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Revolving Loans or LIBOR Revolving Loans, as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. The procedures specified in this paragraph shall not apply to any Revolving Loan Borrowing with respect to a Drawing under a Letter of Credit. (ii) Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.3, the Revolving Loan Lender shall, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the borrowing date specified in such Revolving Loan Borrowing Request, make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to the Borrower by wire transfer of such funds in accordance with instructions reasonably acceptable to the Revolving Loan Lender provided by the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at the time of the Borrowing of such Revolving Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Revolving Loan Lender in writing, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that 4 Revolving Loans may not be made while such Default or Event of Default is continuing (which notice will be given at the request of the Required Lenders), the Revolving Loan Lender shall not advance such Revolving Loans. The Revolving Loan Lender shall make the sole determination as to whether the applicable conditions to the obligation of the Revolving Loan Lender to make Revolving Loans set forth in Section 4.3 have been satisfied. (c) Conversion of Revolving Loans. Subject to Section 3.5, the Borrower may convert any Revolving Loan Borrowing from one Type of Revolving Loan Borrowing to the other Type; provided that no Base Rate Revolving Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Revolving Loan after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; provided, further, that any conversion of a LIBOR Revolving Loan on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor shall be subject to the payments required under Section 3.5. To request a conversion of a Revolving Loan Borrowing, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Revolving Loan Conversion in the form of Exhibit B-2, appropriately completed and duly executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, which Notice of Revolving Loan Conversion shall specify: (i) the Revolving Loan Borrowing which is to be converted; (ii) the Type of Revolving Loan Borrowing into which such Revolving Loan Borrowing is to be converted; and (iii) the proposed date of the requested conversion, which shall be a Business Day. Each Notice of Revolving Loan Conversion must be received by the Revolving Loan Lender (with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent) not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the requested conversion (one (1) Business Day before the date of conversion, in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Revolving Loan). (d) Interest for Account of Revolving Loan Lender. Each Revolving Loan shall bear interest in accordance with Section 2.3. The Revolving Loan Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Revolving Loans. Interest on each Revolving Loan shall be solely for the account of the Revolving Loan Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Revolving Loans directly to the Revolving Loan Lender. (e) Extension of Revolving Loan Commitment. The Borrower may, by written notice to the Revolving Loan Lender no later than 90 days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date then in effect (the "Existing Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date"), request that the Revolving Loan Lender extend the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date to the date proposed by the Borrower in such notice. If the Revolving Loan Lender so agrees in writing, which shall be in its sole and absolute discretion, the Existing Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date shall be extended (effective as of the Existing Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date) to the date specified in such notice 5 as confirmed by the Revolving Loan Lender in its written confirmation. The Revolving Loan Lender will notify the Borrower in writing of its decision no later than 60 days prior to the Existing Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date. If any such extension of the Existing Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date shall not become effective, then the Revolving Loan Commitment shall reduce to zero on the Existing Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, and the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date shall remain the Existing Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date. If the Revolving Loan Lender shall not have provided notice of its extension of the Existing Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date 60 days prior thereto, the Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to have declined to extend the Existing Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date. Section 2.3 Interest. (a) Each Term Loan shall bear interest during each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. Each LIBOR Revolving Loan shall bear interest at the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus the Applicable Margin, and each Base Rate Revolving Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. (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, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the above paragraph (a) of this Section, or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the Base Rate. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts shall be due and payable on demand. (c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and at such other times as may be specified herein. (d) All interest under this Section 2.3 shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Base Rate or LIBOR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent; provided that the applicable Base Rate or LIBOR with respect to any Revolving Loan shall be determined by the Revolving Loan Lender, and each such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Section 2.4 Interest Periods. (a) Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) below, the Borrower shall select the initial Interest Period for a Term Loan in the relevant Borrowing Request and shall select each subsequent Interest Period for such Loan in an irrevocable notice received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the start of that Interest Period. 6 (b) The Term Loans shall at any given time be subject to a single Interest Period; provided that (i) the initial Interest Period with respect to the second Borrowing of the Term Loans will commence on the date of such Borrowing and end on the same day as the current Interest Period for the Term Loans previously advanced and (ii) if the Borrower elects an Interest Period for the Term Loans that ends after the next succeeding Repayment Date or Cash Sweep Date, the Borrower may elect a separate Interest Period ending on such Repayment Date or Cash Sweep Date for any portion of the Term Loans to be repaid or projected to be repaid on such date. (c) No Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date. (d) If the Borrower fails to select an Interest Period for a Term Loan Borrowing or an outstanding Term Loan under paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. (e) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the day on which interest is due and payable for any LIBOR Revolving Loan, then unless repaid, such Loan(s) shall automatically convert to Base Rate Revolving Loan(s) on such day. (f) Promptly following receipt of a notice from the Borrower selecting an Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Term Loan Lender of the details thereof, and if no timely notice is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Term Loan Lender of the details of the applicable Interest Period. Section 2.5 Repayment of Loans. (a) Term Loans. (i) Subject to paragraph (ii) below, so long as any portion of the Class A Loans remains outstanding, the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Class A Lenders on each Repayment Date a portion of the Class A Loans equal in amount to the Required Class A Loan Repayment Amount. (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the funds on deposit in the Accounts and available for the repayment of Class A Loans are insufficient as of any Repayment Date to pay the Required Class A Loan Repayment Amount, the Borrower may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of such Repayment Date, defer repayment of a portion thereof equal to the lesser of (i) such deficiency or (ii) the Accelerated Class A Loan Amortization Amount. (iii) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Term Loan Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding on such date. (iv) Principal amounts of Term Loans repaid may not be reborrowed. 7 (b) Revolving Loans.

Any reduction of the Term Loan Commitments shall be made ratably among the Term Loan Lenders 8 in accordance with their respective Class A Commitments and Class B Commitments. All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. (b) If the initial Borrowing of Term Loans have not been borrowed on or before December 31, 2004, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may, by written notice to the Borrower, terminate the Commitments of the Lenders with respect to each of the Loans, which termination shall become effective immediately. (c) Any termination or reduction of any of the Commitments shall be permanent. Section 2.8 Prepayments. (a) Terms of All Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.8(b) for optional prepayments and Sections 2.8(c)(v) and 2.8(c)(vi) for mandatory prepayments required to be paid from Excess Cash Flow and as otherwise provided in Section 3.3 for any mandatory prepayment resulting from illegality, all partial prepayments of any of the Term Loans shall be allocated to prepay, on a pro rata basis, the applicable Term Loans outstanding.

(b) Optional Prepayments. (i) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty on any Interest Payment Date (subject to Section 3.5(ii)); provided that the Borrower shall deliver notice to the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of prepayment of a Revolving Loan, to the Revolving Loan Lender with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent) of any prepayment hereunder, which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lender, as the case may be (A) not later than 11:00 a.m. five (5) Business Days prior to any proposed date of prepayment of Term Loans or LIBOR Revolving Loans, and (B) not later than 11:00 a.m. on the proposed date of prepayment of Base Rate Revolving Loans.

(v) If on or before September 30, 2005, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio as of the end of a fiscal quarter of the Borrower is 1.30 to 1.00 or lower for at least two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters, the monies then on deposit in the Special Reserve Account (inclusive of monies transferred to the Special Reserve Account in respect of the 11 last such fiscal quarter) shall be applied to prepay the Loans. All prepayments of the Loans then outstanding pursuant to this paragraph (v) shall be applied, first, to prepay Class A Loans in inverse order of maturity until the Class A Loans are prepaid in full, second, to prepay Class B Loans until the Class B Loans are prepaid in full, and thereafter, to prepay Revolving Loans until the Revolving Loans are prepaid in full. (vi) On each Cash Sweep Date (or such later date not exceeding 30 days thereafter as the Applicable Cash Sweep Percentage as of such Cash Sweep Date has been determined), the Applicable Cash Sweep Percentage of Excess Cash Flow as of such Cash Sweep Date shall be applied to prepay the Loans. All prepayments of the Loans then outstanding pursuant to this paragraph (vi) shall be applied, first, to prepay Class A Loans in inverse order of maturity until the Class A Loans are prepaid in full, second, to prepay Class B Loans until the Class B Loans are prepaid in full, and thereafter, to prepay Revolving Loans until the Revolving Loans are prepaid in full. (vii) If, as a result of the making of any prepayment required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section 2.8(c), the Borrower would incur Hedging Termination Obligations or costs pursuant to Section 3.5, upon the request of the Borrower made prior to the due date thereof, the amount of such prepayment may be held in the Concentration Account until the end of the applicable Interest Period, at which time such prepayment shall be made. Section 2.9 Fees. (a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender a commitment fee equal to 0.50% per annum on the daily amount of the Available Term Loan Commitment of such Term Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the last day of the Term Loan Commitment Period, and (ii) to the Revolving Lender for its own account a commitment fee equal to 0.50% per annum on the daily amount of the Available Revolving Loan Commitment during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the last day of the Revolving Loan Commitment Period.

The Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Loan Lender a letter of credit fee for each Letter of Credit at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Revolving Loans multiplied by the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day), for the period from date of issuance 12 of such Letter of Credit until the expiry or termination thereof. Such fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the issuance of a Letter of Credit, and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date.

The Loans 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. 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 its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. Section 2.11 Payments Generally. (a) Each payment by the Borrower hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or any other amount) shall be made prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in Dollars in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent or, with respect to Revolving Loans, the Revolving Loan Lender, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All payments shall be made to the account of the 13 Administrative Agent (account number 400949687) at JP Morgan Chase Bank (ABA number 0210000210) or such other account as may hereafter be designated by the Administrative Agent in writing, except that payments in respect of the Revolving Loans and the Letters of Credit (including any fees relating thereto) shall be made to the Revolving Loan Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly upon receipt thereof, in like funds as received. (b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower under any Loan Document becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees. (c) 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, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. (d) The Revolving Loan Lender agrees that it will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Revolving Loan Lender for its own account pursuant to this Agreement. Section 2.12 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on its Class A Loans, Class B Loans or Revolving Loans or participation in the Letter of Credit Facility, resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or such participation in the Letter of Credit Facility and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Class A Loans, Class B Loans, Revolving Loans and participations in the Letter of Credit Facility of the other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Class A Loans, Class B Loans, Revolving Loans and participations in the Letter of Credit Facility; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so 14 under applicable Legal Requirement, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. Section 2.13 Letter of Credit Facility. (a) Letter of Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Issuing Bank agrees to issue standby Letters of Credit under the Letter of Credit Facility for the account of the Borrower from time to time prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date or, at any time when the Revolving Loan facility is in effect, during the Revolving Loan Commitment Period; provided that (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued prior to the Borrowing of the Term Loans (except as provided in the last sentence of this clause (a)), (ii) the face amount of any requested Letter of Credit shall not, at the time of issuance, exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment at any time when the Revolving Loan facility is in effect; (iii) the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Usage shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit at any time; and (iv) no Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. The obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit shall expire on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date or, if the Revolving Loan facility is in effect, the last day of the Revolving Loan Commitment Period. Each Letter of Credit shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank and the Borrower hereby agree that the existing letters of credit described under the subheading "Letters of Credit" on Schedule 6.2(a) shall for purposes of this Agreement be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit Facility, and further, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to the Revolving Loan Lender a 100% participation in each such Letter of Credit in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 2.13. (b) Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall deliver to the Issuing Bank (with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent) (which request must be received by the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) an irrevocable written request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (a) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank's standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. (c) Revolving Loan Lender Participation. Immediately upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 2.13, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to the Revolving Loan Lender, and the Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to have purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, in each case irrevocably and 15 without any further action by any party, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit, each Drawing and other Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower in respect thereof in an amount equal to the applicable Outstanding Amount then in effect. The Issuing Bank shall promptly advise the Revolving Loan Lender of the changes in the applicable Outstanding Amount or Letter of Credit Expiration Date and any Drawing therefrom; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not limit or impair the rights of the Issuing Bank hereunder and under the Loan Documents. (d) Payment of Drawing. Upon a Drawing, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Issuing Bank a Reimbursement Obligation in the amount of the Drawing not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the same Business Day that the Drawing is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such Drawing prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice was received by the Borrower after such time, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time on the immediately following Business Day unless the reimbursement is made by a Revolving Loan (and in the latter case such payment shall include interest on the Reimbursement Obligation from the date of the Drawing to such payment date). Unless the Borrower shall notify the Issuing Bank, the Revolving Loan Lender, and the Administrative Agent that such Reimbursement Obligation will be paid by the Borrower without using a Revolving Loan, the payment by the Issuing Bank of such Drawing shall be deemed automatically to be a request for the making by the Revolving Loan Lender of a Revolving Loan to the Borrower in the amount of such Drawing on the date of such Drawing, and the Issuing Bank shall promptly so notify the Revolving Loan Lender. The Revolving Loan Lender shall, on the Business Day of the Drawing, make a Revolving Loan for the account of the Borrower in an amount equal to the Drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank. The obligation of the Revolving Loan Lender to so reimburse the Issuing Bank by making a Revolving Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of an Event of Default or any other occurrence or event. In the event that the Revolving Loan Lender fails to make available for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Revolving Loan, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Rate. (e) Conditions to Issuance of Letters of Credit. The obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.13 is subject to the satisfaction, on the proposed issuance date, of the following conditions precedent: (i) all representations and warranties of each Loan Party contained in the Loan Documents shall be true, correct and accurate in all respects on and as of such issuance date (except to the extent such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date), and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing. (f) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Loan Lender, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank, and upon replacement of any outstanding Letters of Credit with replacements issued by the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.9. From and after the 16 effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. ARTICLE III TAXES AND YIELD PROTECTION Section 3.1 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) 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 been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (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 Borrower 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. 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 a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (e) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the IRC (or upon accepting an assignment of an 17 interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the IRC. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, and (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. (f) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. (g) If a Lender assigns a Loan to a United States Person that is not an "exempt recipient" as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1) (ii), such assignee shall provide two duly signed and completed copies of IRS form W-9 (or any successor form thereto) to the Administrative Agent. Section 3.2 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period or the borrowing of any LIBOR Revolving Loan, (a) the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lender, as applicable, determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period or, in the case of a LIBOR Revolving Loan, the LIBOR Market Index Rate, or (b)(i)the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that LIBOR determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, or (ii) the Revolving Loan Lender determines that the LIBOR Market Index Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Revolving Loan Lender of making or maintaining such Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lender, as applicable, shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and, if applicable, the Required Lenders, by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lender, as applicable, notifies the Borrower and, if 18 applicable, such Required Lenders, that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lender, as applicable, shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Borrower and, if applicable, such Required Lenders. If such notice is given with respect to Term Loans, the rate of interest on each applicable Lender's Loans for each Interest Period thereafter will be the average cost of funds for the Required Lenders, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, plus the Applicable Margin. If such notice is given with respect to Revolving Loans, all LIBOR Revolving Loans shall be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Revolving Loans effective upon the giving of such notice, and LIBOR Revolving Loans shall thereafter not be available until the Revolving Loan Lender advises the Borrower that that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist. Section 3.3 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Legal Requirement has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent, in the case of any Term Loans), any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Revolving Loans to LIBOR Revolving Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender is the Revolving Loan Lender and/or such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans; provided that (i) in the case of Term Loans, if prior to such prepayment date the affected Lender and the Borrower can agree upon an alternative mutually acceptable basis for determining the interest rate from time to time applicable to the Term Loans owing to such Lender that will avoid such illegality (it being understood and agreed that the Base Rate shall be an acceptable substitute rate if the Borrower so elects and it shall be legal for such Lender to maintain its Loans as Base Rate Loans), such interest rate shall take effect from the date of such agreement and lieu of such required prepayment; and (ii) in the case of LIBOR Revolving Loans, if conversion of such Revolving Loans into Base Rate Loans will avoid such illegality, all LIBOR Revolving Loans shall be converted to Base Rate Revolving Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Section 3.4 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (including any reserve established by the Federal Reserve Board); or 19 (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Loan or Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered. (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 20 Section 3.5 Funding Losses. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the wrongful failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to borrow or prepay any Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower, or (ii) any payment or prepayment of any Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), including the amount (if any) determined by the relevant Lender by which (x) the interest at the LIBOR which such Lender would have received for the period from the date of receipt of funds to repay or prepay a Loan to the last day of the applicable Interest Period for such Loan if the principal received had been paid on the last day of such Interest Period exceeds (y) the amount which such Lender would be able to obtain by placing an amount equal to the amount received by it on deposit with a leading bank in the appropriate interbank market for a period starting on the Business Day following receipt and ending on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Any Lender demanding indemnification for any loss or expense sustained or incurred by it pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall, at the time of such demand, deliver to the Borrower a certificate specifying in reasonable detail the additional amount to be paid to it for any such loss or expense. Each determination by a Lender of the amounts owing to it pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. Section 3.6 Duty to Mitigate; Replacement of Lenders. (a) 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 3.1, or if any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.4, or if the Borrower would be required to prepay the Loans of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.3, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.4 or avoid the prepayment under Section 3.3), as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. (b) If 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 3.1, or if any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.4, or if the Borrower would be required to prepay the Loans of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.3, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative 21 Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.1 or a claim for compensation under Section 3.4, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Section 3.7 Survival. All of the Borrower's obligations under this Article 3 shall survive termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of all Obligations.

(b) Without limiting the rights of the Administrative Agent set forth in paragraph (a) above or elsewhere in this Agreement, if any Event of Default or Revolver Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Revolving Loan Lender (with respect to the Revolving Loans only and irrespective of any action or inaction taken with respect to the Term Loans) may, by notice to the Borrower (in the case of a Revolver Event of Default which is not otherwise an Event of Default, given not later than fifteen (15) days of the Revolving Loan Lender receiving written notice of the occurrence of such Revolver Event of Default), (i) declare the Revolving Loan Commitments to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate (except that any such termination shall not affect the obligation of the Revolving Loan Lender to reimburse the 63 Issuing Bank in respect of any Drawing under a Letter of Credit issued prior to such termination); and/or (ii) declare the entire unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans (together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amount then due under the Loan Documents) and all other Obligations owing to the Revolving Loan Lender to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. Any such acceleration of the Obligations owed to the Revolving Loan Lender shall not alter or affect the limitations on remedies specified in paragraph (c) below. (c) Subject to paragraph (d) below, no Financing Party may, except with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (i) enforce any security interest created or evidenced by any Security Document or require the Administrative Agent to enforce any such security interest (provided that the foregoing shall not limit any right of setoff by a Lender permitted hereunder); (ii) sue for or institute any creditor's process (including an injunction, garnishment, execution or levy, whether before or after judgment) in respect of any Obligation (whether or not for the payment of money) owing to it under or in respect of any Loan Document; (iii) take any step for the winding-up, administration of or dissolution of, or any insolvency proceeding in relation to, the Borrower, or for a voluntary arrangement, scheme of arrangement or other analogous step in relation to the Borrower, or (iv) apply for any order for an injunction or specific performance in respect of the Borrower in relation to any of the Loan Documents. (d) If the Revolving Loans and interest thereon are not repaid in full on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, the Revolving Loan Lender may bring any action or proceeding (i) for collection of such unpaid amounts and other amounts due and owing to the Revolving Loan Lender with respect thereto and (ii) for the recognition or enforcement of any judgment with respect to such unpaid amounts and such other amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as any real property is included in the Collateral, the Revolving Loan Lender shall not exercise any rights or remedies that could reasonably be expected to result in the loss of the Collateral Agent's Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the California "one action" rule or any similar rule of any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Revolving Loans shall at all times be secured by the Lien pursuant to the Security Documents, subject to the direction of the Required Lenders. 64 Section 7.3 Waiver of Event of Default. Any Event of Default may be waived as provided in Section 10.1. No waiver of any Event of Default shall constitute a waiver of any other or any succeeding Event of Default except to the extent specifically provided in such waiver. ARTICLE VIII ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT Section 8.1 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each Financing Party hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Financing Party or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Legal Requirement. 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. Section 8.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative 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 such duties. The Administrative 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 8.3 Liability of Administrative Agent. None of the Administrative Agent, its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact and Affiliates 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), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Financing Party or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any 65 certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of the Administrative Agent and any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact and Affiliates shall be under any obligation to any Financing Party or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof. Section 8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Financing Parties 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 Administrative 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. Section 8.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Financing Parties, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Financing Party or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." The Administrative Agent will notify the Financing Parties of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.1; provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Financing Parties. 66 Section 8.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information. Each Financing Party acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates to any Financing Party as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Financing Party represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Financing Party also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Financing Parties by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Financing Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. Section 8.7 Indemnification. To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any Indemnitee, each Financing Party severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or such Indemnitee such Financing Party's Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. Section 8.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties 67 and their respective Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Financing Parties. The Financing Parties acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans or other Credit Exposure, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Financing Party and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent. Section 8.9 Collateral Agency Agreement. Each Financing Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the Collateral Agency Agreement on behalf of such Financing Party and agrees that, upon such execution and delivery, such Financing Party shall be bound by the terms and provisions thereof as if such Financing Party was a signatory thereto. Each Financing Party further authorizes the Administrative Agent to exercise such powers and discretion under each such agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to matters not expressly provided for in the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes it to personal liability or that is contrary to the Loan Documents or applicable Legal Requirements. Section 8.10 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days' notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor administrative agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.3 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring 68 Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Section 8.11 Lead Arrangers. The Lead Arrangers shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, to the extent it is a Lender or the Administrative Agent, those applicable to all Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, as such. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Lead Arrangers in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. ARTICLE IX HEDGING ARRANGEMENTS Section 9.1 Hedging Payments. Each Hedging Bank agrees that it shall not (i) demand (other than as may be necessary in order to exercise any right to terminate any Hedging Transaction pursuant to a Lender Hedging Agreement as permitted under Section 9.2 or required under Section 9.3) or receive payment, prepayment or repayment of, or any distribution in respect of, or on account of, any of the Hedging Obligations in cash or in kind, or apply any money or property in or towards the discharge of any Hedging Obligations except for scheduled payments arising under the terms of the Lender Hedging Agreements, or (ii) permit to exist or receive any security interest or any financial support (including the giving of any guarantee or the making of any deposit or payment) for or in respect of any of the Hedging Obligations other than under the Loan Documents. Section 9.2 Voluntary Termination. Each Hedging Bank agrees that it may terminate a Hedging Transaction pursuant to a Lender Hedging Agreement only upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the Administrative Agent has declared that all of the amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents are immediately due and payable or such acceleration has occurred without notice from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.2(a), (ii) the Required Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent to seek a lifting of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Bankruptcy Proceeding so as to permit an acceleration of all of the amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents pursuant to Section 7.2(a), (iii) early termination is permitted in accordance with the terms of such Lender Hedging Agreement by the Hedging Bank in the event it becomes unlawful for such Hedging Bank to perform any absolute or contingent obligation under such Lender Hedging Agreement, (iv) early termination is permitted in accordance with the terms of such Lender Hedging Agreement upon the occurrence of a tax event or tax event upon merger, (v) the Administrative Agent has requested such termination in accordance with Section 9.3, or (vi) the Loans are repaid in full. 69 Section 9.3 Involuntary Termination or Reduction. (a) If the Administrative Agent has declared that all of the amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents are immediately due and payable or such acceleration has occurred without notice from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.2(a), each Hedging Bank agrees that, at the written request of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), such Hedging Bank shall exercise its rights to terminate all hedging transactions under each Lender Hedging Agreement to which it is a party. (b) If the aggregate notional amounts hedged under the Lender Hedging Agreements exceed by more than ten percent (10%) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans for a period of more than sixty days, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) may, by notice to the Hedging Banks and the Borrower, require that the amounts hedged under the Lender Hedging Agreements be reduced (allocated ratably among the Lender Hedging Agreements according to the respective amounts hedged thereunder) to a level equal to no more than 110% and no less than 100% of the Loans outstanding. Section 9.4 Agreement to be Bound by Loan Documents; Benefit of Lien of Security Documents. By entering into a Lender Hedging Agreement entitling it to the benefits of the Loan Documents, each Hedging Bank shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the provisions set forth in this Agreement and the Collateral Agency Agreement applicable to Hedging Banks and Financing Parties. So long as the terms thereof are in compliance with this Agreement, each Lender Hedging Agreement shall be secured by the Liens created by the Security Documents on a pari passu basis. ARTICLE X MISCELLANEOUS Section 10.1 Amendments; Waivers. (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent; provided that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall: (i) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender; (ii) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them), or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (iii) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or change any financial ratio or the manner of calculation of any financial ratio (including any change in any applicable defined term) used in determining the amount of any mandatory 70 prepayment that would result in a reduction of any such prepayment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (iv) change Section 2.12 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender; (v) change any provision of this Section or the definition of "Required Lenders" or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; (vi) release any Guarantor from its Guaranty, or (vii) release all or any material part of the Collateral without the written consent of each Lender and Hedging Bank (except that (A) any release in connection with a sale or other disposition of Collateral authorized by Section 6.2(c) shall not require the approval of any Lender or Hedging Bank) and (B) any amendment, waiver or consent which modifies the terms of Section 6.2(c) (including any modification relating to the prepayment of proceeds from any such sale or other disposition) shall require the consent of the Required Lenders); and provided, further, that (A) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, without the written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, without the written consent of the Issuing Bank in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (C) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, without the written consent of each Hedging Bank directly affected thereby in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of such Hedging Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (D) any separate fee agreement between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such or between the Borrower and the Lead Arrangers in their capacities as such may be amended or modified by such parties; and provided, further, that any waiver of conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.1(f) or Section 4.2(g) which relate to the perfection of a security interest in Collateral can be waived by the Administrative Agent in its discretion, provided that such condition shall instead be satisfied after the Initial Disbursement Date or Second Disbursement Date, as applicable, and within time periods established by the Administrative Agent in its discretion; and provided, further, that (A) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, without the written consent of the Revolving Loan Lender, in addition to the Lenders required above, be effective for purposes of determining the obligation of the Revolving Loan Lender to make Revolving Loans or the existence or non-existence of a Revolver Event of Default, or the rights of the Revolving Loan Lender specified in Section 7.2(b), and (B) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, without the written consent of the Issuing Bank, in addition to the Lenders required above, be effective for purposes of determining the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit.

The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (a) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and 71 for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

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 paragraph (c) of this Section) 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) (i) Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees approved by the Administrative Agent and (so long as no Event of Default is continuing) the Borrower (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) 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 (A) no approval of the Administrative Agent shall be required for any assignment to an assignee that is a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, (B) each assignee Lender shall provide appropriate assurances and indemnities to the Issuing Bank as it may reasonably require with respect to any continuing obligation to purchase participation interests in any Drawing or other Reimbursement Obligation, (C) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Loans and Commitment, the amount of the Loans and Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents; (D) 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; (E) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and any required tax 75 forms; and (F) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. (ii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 3.1, 3.3, 3.4 and 10.3). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.4 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. (iii) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (iv) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption and required tax forms executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee, the assignee's completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)(i) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (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 the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation 76 shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.1(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.3 and 3.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1, 3.4 or 3.5 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. Without limitation of the preceding sentence, (i) a Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.1 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.1(e) as though it were a Lender and (ii) a Participant that is a United States resident individual shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.1 as if it were a Lender unless the Participant agrees to comply with Section 3.1(g) as though it were a Lender. (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. Section 10.5 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or its advisers, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section. For the purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information received from the Borrower relating to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to the 77 Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is not prohibited from transmitting the information to the Administrative Agent or such Lender by a contractual or legal obligation. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Section 10.6 Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest and fees paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Legal Requirement (the "Maximum Rate"). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest or a fee in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excessive interest or fee shall be applied to the principal of the outstanding Obligations or, if it exceeds the unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest or a fee 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 Legal Requirement, (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. Section 10.7 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that if any such set off is effected prior to acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.2 and all Events of Default are cured prior to any such acceleration, such set off (other than any portion thereof that has been applied against matured Obligations) shall be rescinded and the deposits and other amounts so set off (other than such portion) shall be restored to the Borrower, without interest, not later than three (3) Business Days after the Administrative Agent has notified the Lenders in writing that no Event of Default is continuing or, if the benefit of such set off has been shared by the Lenders in accordance with Section 2.12, promptly after such Lender receives the corresponding payments from other Lenders. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Section 10.8 Nonliability of Lenders. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: 78 (a) Any inspections of any property of the Borrower made by or through the Administrative Agent or Lenders are for purposes of administration of the Loan Documents only, and the Borrower is not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of Borrower); (b) The relationship between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrowers and lenders; neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of any Loan Party or its Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with any Loan Party or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to any Loan Party or its Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to any Loan Party or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform any such Person of any matter in connection with the operations of such Person; each Loan Party and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Administrative Agent and each Lenders and neither any Loan Party nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon; and Section 10.9 Limitation of Recourse. There shall be full recourse to the Borrower and all of its assets and properties for the liabilities of the Borrower under this Agreement, any Notes and the other Loan Documents, subject to clauses (i) and (iv) of the following sentence, in no event shall the Investors or any of their Affiliates (other than any Loan Party) (collectively, the "Non-Recourse Parties"), or any officer, director of the Borrower, be personally liable or obligated for such liabilities and obligations of the Borrower, except as may be specifically provided in any other Loan Document to which such Non-Recourse Party is a party. Nothing herein contained shall limit or be construed to (i) release any Non-Recourse Party from liability for its fraudulent actions or misappropriation of funds by it or willful misconduct or for reimbursement of any Distribution made to it in violation of Section 6.2(f), or from any of its obligations or liabilities under any agreement executed by such Non-Recourse Party in its individual capacity in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) limit or impair the exercise of remedies with respect to any Collateral, (iii) limit the liability of any Person who is a party to a Loan Document with respect to such liability as may arise by reason of the terms and conditions of such Loan Document (but subject to any limitation of liability contained in such Loan Document), or (iv) require the Financing Parties to indemnify the Non-Recourse Parties for liabilities or claims that may be independently asserted against them. The provisions of this Section 10.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Section 10.10 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between 79 the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. Section 10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any Notes.

SUBORDINATION OF PERMITTED SUBORDINATED DEBT General. Notwithstanding any provision of this agreement to the contrary, the Borrower and the holder of the Permitted Subordinated Debt, for themselves and for all present and future holders of such Permitted Subordinated Debt, hereby covenant and agree that the Permitted Subordinated Debt shall be and are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment (in cash or cash equivalents) and performance in full of all Obligations to the extent and in the manner provided below.

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert the Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until such Event of Default is cured or waived. 21 (i) If applicable, if fewer than two Reference Banks furnish timely information to the Administrative Agent for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Rate Advances, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, (iii) each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and (iv) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 2.07 Optional Conversion of Advances. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.06 and 2.10, Convert all Advances from one Type into Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances and any Conversion of a Base Rate Advance into a Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be in an aggregate amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.06(d). Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, and (ii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for such Advances. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. 2.08 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments. (a) The Borrower may, without penalty, upon at least five Business Days' written notice to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the Advances in whole or in part; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of US$5,000,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000,000 in excess thereof. (b) If as of the SDSCR Determination Date, the Historic Semi-Annual SDSCR is equal to or less than 1.625 to 1.0, the Borrower shall prepay the Advances within seven (7) Business Days of the SDSCR Determination Date by an amount equal to the Excess Cash Flow for the three month period immediately preceding such SDSCR Determination Date. (c) To the extent any Insurance Proceeds are allocated pursuant to Section 3.07 of the Security Agreement to make any prepayments hereunder, on the Interest Payment Date applicable to this Agreement immediately succeeding the date on which such amounts become available, the Borrower shall prepay the Advances by an amount equal to any amounts so allocated. 22 (d) Upon execution by the Seller of the Direction Letter pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Escrow Agreement the Borrower shall prepay the Advances within the following 3 business days after such execution in an amount equal to that portion of the Purchase Price allocable to the Airport or Airports whose Aviation Assets are not purchased by the Purchaser Subsidiaries so that the Lender's Percentage, after giving effect to such prepayment, shall equal the Lender's Percentage effective as of the date of the Advances. (e) In the event of the existence, creation or imposition of a Material Contract Lien, the Borrower shall prepay the Advances by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount secured or intended to be secured by such Material Contract Lien and (ii) the Material Contract Value of such Material Contract, if any such Material Contract Lien shall not be removed or bonded within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of the creation or imposition of such Material Contract Lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 2.08(e) shall not be applicable with respect to each Airport for which a consent is received in accordance with Section 5.01(r). (f) In the event that any representation and warranty required to be made by Borrower on any Subsequent Closing pursuant to the terms of Section 5.01(s) shall not be true and correct before and after giving effect to such Subsequent Closing, and in the case of any representation and warranty made pursuant to Section 4.01(r) with respect to Aviation Assets having an aggregate value not in excess of 10% of the Purchase Price allocable to the applicable Airport such failure shall remain uncured for sixty (60) days following such Subsequent Closing, the Borrower shall prepay the Advances by an amount equal to that portion of the Purchase Price allocable to the Airport or Airports with respect to which such representation and warranty is not true and correct so that the Lender's Percentage, after giving effect to such prepayment, shall equal the Lender's Percentage effective as of the date of the Advances. (g) Each prepayment of Advances shall be (i) allocated among the Lenders pro rata based on their respective portion of the Advances, (ii) accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the amount prepaid to the date of prepayment and (iii) in the event of a prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, accompanied by any amount payable pursuant to Section 8.04(c). 2.09 Increased Costs. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the date hereof or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) after the date hereof, there shall be any increase in the actual cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.09 any such increased costs resulting from (x) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.12 shall govern) and (y) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income (or franchise tax in lieu of such taxes) by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or by state or local Governmental Authority under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for 23 the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such actual increased cost. (b) If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender's commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender's commitment to lend hereunder. (c) Each Lender shall notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement entitling such Lender to the compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.09 as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 120 days, after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof, provided that if any Lender fails to give such notice within 120 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 2.09 in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 2.09 for costs incurred from and after the date 120 days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice. Each Lender will furnish to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each such request by such Lender for compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.09. Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 2.09 of the effect of any event pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent error in the calculation of such amount. 2.10 Illegality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or maintain a Eurodollar Rate Advance hereunder, (i) the Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, upon such notice, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert such Advance into, a Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. (b) Each of the Lenders hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence of any circumstances entitling such Lender to additional compensation or to cease making, participating in or renewing, or funding or maintaining, Eurodollar Rate Advances under any of the foregoing provisions of Section 2.09 or this Section 2.10, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its existing internal policy applied on a nondiscriminatory basis and with 24 applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different applicable Lending Office for any Advances affected by such circumstances and/or to take any other reasonable actions requested by the Borrowers if the making of such designation or the taking of such actions, in the case of Section 2.09, would avoid the need for such additional compensation or, in the case of Section 2.10, would allow such Lender to continue to perform its obligations to make, to participate in or renew, or to fund or maintain, Eurodollar Rate Advances, and, in any such case, would not, in the reasonable judgment of such lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 2.11 Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in US Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Account in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or facility fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.09, 2.12 or 8.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. (b) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (c) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each 25 Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. 2.12 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.11, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on overall net income or overall gross income and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of such taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the jurisdiction in which the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, is organized or is a resident or has a fixed place of business or a permanent establishment or any political subdivision of the foregoing or where the Lender's Applicable Lending Office is located or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (1) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender or Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as "OTHER TAXES"). (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or paid by such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and reasonable out of-pocket expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor. If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Taxes as to which additional amounts are payable under Section 2.12(a) or (c) or for which indemnification has been demanded under Section 2.12(a) or (c), each Lender and each Administrative Agent shall (to the extent such party determines in good faith that it shall not suffer any material adverse consequences as a result thereof) cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such Taxes at the expense of the Borrower if so requested by the Borrower in writing. 26 (d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes by or on behalf of the Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of the Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if the Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms "United States" and "United States person" shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. (e) If a Lender is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement (or at such later time as such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement), and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), such Lender shall provide the Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service form W-8BENs certifying that (i) it is entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments receivable under this Agreement or the Note in accordance with an applicable tax treaty or (ii) it is not a United States person (in the second case accompanied by a certificate representing that it is not a "bank" for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, is not a 10 percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Loan Party and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Loan Party (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code)), or two original Internal Revenue Service form W-8ECIs certifying that payments receivable by it under this Agreement or the Note are effectively connected to a United States trade or business, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. If the form provided by the Lender at the time the Lender becomes a party to this Agreement indicates (or if correctly completed, would indicate) a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until the Lender provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form. If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required by Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor forms) that the Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information. (f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in Section 2.12(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided or if such form otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.12(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should such Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the 27 Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes. (g) If a Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has actually and finally realized in a year in which a payment under the Loan Documents is made or in any subsequent year, by reason of a refund, deduction or credit of any Taxes or Other Taxes paid or reimbursed by the Borrower 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 2.12 exceeding the amount needed to make such Lender whole, such Lender shall pay to the Borrower, with reasonable promptness following the date on 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 in securing such refund, deduction or credit. (h) If a Lender claims any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12, it shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document requested by Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office and take any other reasonable actions requested by Borrower if the making of such a filing or change or the taking of such actions would avoid the need or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 2.13 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advance owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.09, 2.12 or 8.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 2.14 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) only to partially fund either directly or through one of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries (a) the purchase of all of those certain aviation assets of AMPORTS as described in the Purchase Agreement, (b) the Non-compete Payment, (c) other payments under Purchase Agreement, (d) to pay all transaction costs in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Purchase Agreement, (e) to provide for cash on 28 hand, (f) to find the Senior Debt Service Reserve Account, (g) to fund the obligations under the Escrow Agreement and (h) the payment under the Transitional Services Agreement. 2.15 Fees. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its account the fees in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Agreement. (b) The Borrower shall pay to the Collateral Agent for its account the fees in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Collateral Agent Fee Agreement. (c) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee on the aggregate amount of the Commitments at a rate equal to 0.375% per annum, which fee shall be allocated among the Lenders pro rata according to their Commitments. Such commitment fee shall be payable for the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date of the Advances. (d) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an underwriting fee equal to 0.375% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments. Such underwriting fee shall be payable on the date of the Advances. ARTICLE III CONDITIONS TO MAKING ADVANCES 3.01 Conditions Precedent to the Making of the Advances. The obligation of each Lender to make any Advance shall be subject to the fulfillment of the following conditions precedent: (a) There shall exist no material action, suit, investigation, litigation or proceeding affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Loan Party pending or threatened before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator that (i) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Note or any other Loan Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.

Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Party promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by such Indemnified Party 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 and the other Loan Documents, to the extent that such Indemnified Party is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or a third party. The costs and expenses incurred in enforcing this right of indemnification shall be paid by the Lenders. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for special, punitive, indirect, consequential or incidental loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, even if the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage. The obligations of the Lenders contained in this Section 7.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the earlier resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent. 7.06 Successor Agents. Each Agent may resign from its role as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the other Agent and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders' removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Person organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least US$250,000,000.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). (b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administration Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as Administrative Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the 57 Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the "REGISTER"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, each Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. 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.

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall disclose any Confidential Information to any other Person without the consent of the Borrower, other than (a) to the Administrative Agent's, the Collateral Agent's or such Lender's Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors and, as contemplated by Section 8.07(g), to actual or prospective assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process and (c) as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking. 8.09 Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, excluding (to the fullest extent a New York court would permit) any rule of law that would cause application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. 8.10 Execution in Counterparts.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Notes in the courts of any jurisdiction.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. (c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Corporation Services Company (the "Process Agent," which has consented thereto) with offices on the date hereof at 1177 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036, as Process Agent to receive for and on behalf of the Borrower service of process in the County of New York relating to this Agreement.

Borrower agrees that it will at all times maintain a process agent to receive service of process in the County of New York on its behalf with respect to this Agreement. If for any reason the Process Agent or any successor thereto shall no longer serve as such process agent or shall have changed its address without notification thereof to the Agents, the Borrower, immediately after gaining knowledge thereof, irrevocably shall appoint a substitute process agent acceptable to the Agents in the County of New York and advise the Agents thereof. Nothing contained in this Section shall preclude any Secured Party from bringing any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in the courts of any place where Borrower or any of its assets may be found or located. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF ANY SUCH JURISDICTION, BORROWER HEREBY 60 IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES, IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, THE JURISDICTION OF ANY OTHER COURT OR COURTS THAT NOW OR HEREAFTER, BY REASON OF SUCH PARTY'S PRESENT OR FUTURE DOMICILE, OR OTHERWISE, MAY BE AVAILABLE TO IT. 8.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Note or any other Loan Document or the actions of such Lender in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof. 8.13 Non-Recourse.

The foregoing acknowledgement, waiver and agreement shall be enforceable by the Borrower, its Affiliates and Equity Investors. 8.14 Capacity of Trustees. (a) Lenders, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent acknowledge and agree that (i) Macquarie Specialised Asset Management Limited has agreed to provide security for the Senior Debt only in its capacity as Trustee of Macquarie Global Infrastructure Fund A and (ii) Macquarie Specialised Asset Management 2 Limited has agreed to provide security for the Senior Debt only in its capacity as Trustee of Macquarie Global Infrastructure Fund B and in no other capacities. The Lenders, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent acknowledge and agree that any liability arising under or in connection with the Senior Debt and/or the Loan Documents is limited to and can be enforced against Macquarie Specialised Asset Management Limited and Macquarie Specialised Asset Management 2 Limited (collectively, the "Trustees") only to the extent to which it can be satisfied out of the property of Macquarie Global 61 Infrastructure Fund A and Macquarie Global Infrastructure Fund B (collectively, the "Trusts"), respectively, out of which the Trustees are actually indemnified for their liability. Lenders, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent acknowledge and agree that this limitation of the Trustees' liability applies despite any other provision of any of the Loan Documents and extends to all liabilities and obligations of the Trustees in any way connected with any representation, warranty, conduct, omission, agreement or transaction related to the Senior Debt. (b) Lenders, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent acknowledge and agree that it may not sue the Trustees in any capacity other than as Trustees of the respective Trusts, including seeking the appointment of a receiver (except in relation to property of the respective Trusts), a liquidator, an administrator or any similar person to the Trustees or prove in any liquidation, administration or arrangement of or affecting the Trustees (except in relation to property of the respective Trusts). (c) The Lenders, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 8.14 shall not apply to any obligation or liability of the Trustees to the extent that it is not satisfied because under the trust deeds establishing the respective Trusts or by operation of law there is a reduction in the extent of the Trustees' indemnification out of the assets of the respective Trusts, as a result of the respective Trustees' fraud, negligence or breach of trust. 62 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first above written.
