AMOUNT AND TERMS OF LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT ----------------------------------------------- Section 2.1 Revolving Credit Loans Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally (and not jointly) agrees to make revolving credit loans (each a "Revolving Credit Loan" and, as the context may require, collectively with all other Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender and with the Revolving Credit Loans of all other Lenders, the "Revolving Credit Loans") to the Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period, provided that immediately after giving effect thereto (i) such Lender's Revolving Credit Exposure would not exceed such Lender's Commitment Amount, and (ii) the Aggregate Credit Exposure would not exceed the Aggregate Commitment Amount. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may borrow, prepay in whole or in part and reborrow under the Commitments, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.3 and 3.3, at the option of the Borrower, Revolving Credit Loans may be made as one or more (i) ABR Advances, (ii) Eurodollar Advances or (iii) any combination thereof. Section 2.2 Revolving Credit Notes The Revolving Credit Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with appropriate insertions therein as to date and principal amount (each, as indorsed or modified from time to time, a "Revolving Credit Note" and, collectively with the Revolving Credit Notes of all other Lenders, the "Revolving Credit Notes"), payable to the order of such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, dated the Restatement Date. The outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. Section 2.3 Procedure for Borrowing Revolving Credit Loans (a) The Borrower may borrow under the Commitments on any Business Day during the Commitment Period, provided that the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by the delivery of a Borrowing Request, which shall be sent by telecopy and shall be irrevocable (confirmed promptly, and in any event within five Business Days, by the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Request manually signed by the Borrower), no later than: 1:30 p.m., three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Advances and 1:30 p.m., on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Advances, specifying (A) the aggregate principal amount to be borrowed under the Commitments, (B) the requested Borrowing Date, (C) whether such borrowing is to consist of one or more Eurodollar Advances, ABR Advances, or a combination thereof and (D) if the borrowing is to consist of one or more Eurodollar Advances, the length of the Interest Period for each such Eurodollar Advance. Each (i) Eurodollar Advance to be made on a Borrowing Date, when aggregated with all amounts to be converted to a Eurodollar Advance on such date and having the same Interest Period as such first Eurodollar Advance, shall equal no less than $2,500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) each ABR Advance made on each Borrowing Date shall equal no less than $1,000,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $200,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment Amount. (b) Upon receipt of each Borrowing Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Subject to its receipt of the notice referred to in the preceding sentence, each Lender will make the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Credit Loans available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent set forth in Section 11.2 not later than 3:30 p.m. on the relevant Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower, in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at such office. The amounts so made available to the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date will then, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, be made available on such date to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 11.2 by wire transfer to the bank account specified by the Borrower in the Account Designation Letter on file with the Administrative Agent, it being understood that for all purposes under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may rely and shall be fully protected in relying on an Account Designation Letter until it receives written instructions from an Authorized Signatory of the Borrower to the contrary. (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received prior notice from a Lender (by telephone or otherwise, such notice to be promptly confirmed by telecopy or other writing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the Borrowing Date in accordance with this Section, provided that such Lender received notice of the requested Revolving Credit Loans from the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on the Borrowing Date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Credit Loans available to the Administrative Agent and such Lender shall not have provided such prior notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the previous sentence, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount (to the extent not previously paid by the other), together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to, in the case of the Borrower, the applicable interest rate set forth in Section 3.1 for ABR Advances, and, in the case of such Lender, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for the first three days after the due date of such and the Federal Funds Rate plus 2% thereafter payment until the date such payment is received by the Administrative Agent. Such payment by the Borrower, however, shall be without prejudice to its rights against such Lender. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Revolving Credit Loan as part of the Revolving Credit Loans for purposes of this Agreement, which Revolving Credit Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender on the Borrowing Date applicable to such Revolving Credit Loans, it being understood that the Borrower shall have no obligation to pay interest to such Lender on such corresponding amount to the extent that it shall have paid interest thereon to the Administrative Agent for the period during which such amount was made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent. (d) If a Lender makes a new Revolving Credit Loan on a Borrowing Date on which the Borrower is to repay a Loan from such Lender, such Lender shall apply the proceeds of such new Revolving Credit Loan to make such repayment, and only the excess of the proceeds of such new Revolving Credit Loan over the Loan being repaid need be made available to the Administrative Agent. Section 2.4 Competitive Bid Loans; Procedure (a) The Borrower may, provided no Default or Event of Default shall then exist or be continuing, make a request for a Competitive Bid Loan by delivering a Competitive Bid Request to the Administrative Agent as set forth below by 1:30 p.m. at least one Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date. Each Competitive Bid Request given to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly on the same day give notice thereof to each Lender by telecopy transmission of an Invitation to Bid if the Competitive Bid Request is not rejected pursuant to this Section) shall be given in writing by telecopy transmission (confirmed promptly, and in any event within five Business Days, by the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Competitive Bid Request manually signed by the Borrower), and shall specify (i) the proposed Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Competitive Bid Loans (the "Maximum Request"), which shall be in a principal amount equal to $2,500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Competitive Interest Period(s) therefor and the last day of each such Competitive Interest Period, and (iv) if more than one Competitive Interest Period is so specified, the principal amount allocable to each such Competitive Interest Period (which amount shall not be less than $2,500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof); provided, however, that immediately after giving effect to the requested Competitive Bid Loan, the Aggregate Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment Amount. A Competitive Bid Request that does not conform substantially to the form of Exhibit I shall be rejected, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of such rejection. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) not more than three Competitive Interest Periods may be requested pursuant to any Competitive Bid Request, and (ii) not more than eight Competitive Bid Loans may be outstanding in the aggregate at any one time, provided, however, that at no time shall the number of the Competitive Interest Periods in respect of outstanding Competitive Bid Loans and Eurodollar Interest Periods in respect of outstanding Eurodollar Advances exceed ten. (b) Each Lender in its sole discretion may (but is not obligated to) submit one or more Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon on the proposed Borrowing Date specified in such Competitive Bid Request (such time being herein called the "Submission Deadline"), by telecopy or other writing, and thereby irrevocably offer to make all or any part (any such part referred to as a "Portion") of any Competitive Bid Loan described in the relevant Competitive Bid Request at a rate of interest per annum (each a "Bid Rate") specified therein in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $2,500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, provided that Competitive Bids submitted by BNY may only be submitted if BNY notifies the Borrower of the terms of its Competitive Bid not later than thirty minutes prior to the Submission Deadline. Multiple Competitive Bids may be delivered to the Administrative Agent by a Lender. The aggregate Portions of Competitive Bid Loans for any or all Competitive Interest Periods offered by each Lender in its Competitive Bid may exceed the Maximum Request contained in the relevant Competitive Bid Request, provided that each Competitive Bid shall set forth the maximum aggregate amount of the Competitive Bid Loans offered thereby which the Borrower may accept (the "Maximum Offer"), which Maximum Offer shall not exceed the Maximum Request. If the Administrative Agent has not received a Competitive Bid from any Lender by the Submission Deadline, such Lender shall be deemed not to have made a Competitive Bid and shall not be permitted or obligated to make a Competitive Bid Loan on the proposed Borrowing Date. (c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice by telephone (promptly confirmed by telecopy or other writing) to the Borrower of all Competitive Bids received by the Administrative Agent prior to the Submission Deadline which comply in all material respects with this Section. The Borrower, shall, in its sole discretion, but subject to Section 2.4(d), irrevocably accept or reject any such Competitive Bid (or any Portion thereof) not later than 12:30 p.m. on the day of the Submission Deadline by notice to the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or other writing in the form of a Competitive Bid Accept/Reject Letter promptly the same day). Promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such a Competitive Bid Accept/Reject Letter, the Administrative Agent will give notice to each Lender that submitted a Competitive Bid as to the extent, if any, that such Lender's Competitive Bid shall have been accepted. If the Administrative Agent fails to receive notice from the Borrower of its acceptance or rejection of any Competitive Bids at or prior to 1:00 p.m. on the day of the Submission Deadline, all such Competitive Bids shall be deemed to have been rejected by the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent will give to each Lender that submitted a Competitive Bid notice of such rejection by telephone on such day. In due course following the acceptance of any Competitive Bid, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender which submitted a Competitive Bid, in the form of a Competitive Bid Loan Confirmation, of the amount, maturity date and Bid Rate for each Competitive Bid Loan. (d) If the Borrower accepts a Portion of a proposed Competitive Bid Loan for a single Competitive Interest Period at the Bid Rate provided therefor in a Lender's Competitive Bid, such Portion shall be in a principal amount of $2,500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (subject to such lesser allocation as may be made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.4(d)). The aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans accepted by the Borrower following Competitive Bids responding to a Competitive Bid Request shall not exceed the Maximum Request. The aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans accepted by the Borrower pursuant to a Lender's Competitive Bid shall not exceed the Maximum Offer therein contained. If the Borrower accepts any Competitive Bid Loans or Portion offered in any Competitive Bid, the Borrower must accept Competitive Bids (and Competitive Bid Loans and Portions thereby offered) based exclusively upon the successively lowest Bid Rates within each Competitive Interest Period and no other criteria. If two or more Lenders submit Competitive Bids with identical Bid Rates for the same Competitive Interest Period and the Borrower accepts any thereof, the Borrower shall, subject to the first three sentences of this Section 2.4(d), accept all such Competitive Bids as nearly as possible in proportion to the amounts of such Lender's respective Competitive Bids with identical Bid Rates for such Competitive Interest Period, provided, that if the amount of Competitive Bid Loans to be so allocated is not sufficient to enable each such Lender to make such Competitive Bid Loan (or Portions thereof) in an aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, the Borrower shall round the Competitive Bid Loans (or Portions thereof) allocated to such Lender or Lenders as the Borrower shall select as necessary to a minimum of $2,500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. (e) Not later than 2:30 p.m. on the relevant Borrowing Date, each Lender whose Competitive Bid was accepted by the Borrower shall make available to the Administrative Agent at its office set forth in Section 11.2, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of such Lender's Competitive Bid Loan(s). The amounts so made available to the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date will then, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, be made available by the Administrative Agent in like funds as received on such Borrowing Date to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent at the office of the Administrative Agent set forth in Section 11.2 by wire transfer to the bank account specified by the Borrower in the Account Designation Letter on file with the Administrative Agent. (f) All notices required by this Section 2.4 shall be given in accordance with Section 11.2. (g) The Competitive Bid Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 (each, as indorsed or modified from time to time, a "Competitive Bid Note" and, collectively with the Competitive Bid Notes of all other Lenders, the "Competitive Bid Notes"), payable to the order of such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, and dated the Restatement Date. Each Competitive Bid Loan shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the last day of the Competitive Interest Period applicable thereto and (ii) the Maturity Date. Competitive Bid Loans may not be prepaid. Section 2.5 Termination, Reduction or Increase of Commitments (a) Voluntary Reductions. The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) at any time when the Aggregate Credit Exposure shall be zero (and no Borrowing Request, Letter of Credit Request or Competitive Bid Request shall be pending), to terminate the Commitments of all of the Lenders, and (ii) at any time and from time to time when the Aggregate Commitment Amount shall exceed the Aggregate Credit Exposure, to permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment Amount by a sum not greater than the amount of such excess, provided, however, that any partial reduction shall be in the amount of $2,500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. (b) Mandatory Reductions Relating to Dispositions. The Aggregate Commitment Amount shall be permanently reduced by the amounts, at the times and to the extent required by Section 8.4(c). (c) In General. Each reduction of the Aggregate Commitment Amount shall be made by reducing each Lender's Commitment Amount by an amount equal to such Lender's Commitment Percentage of such reduction. Simultaneously with each reduction of the Aggregate Commitment Amount under this Section, the Borrower shall pay the Facility Fee accrued on the amount by which the Aggregate Commitment Amount has been reduced. (d) Increases. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time, at its sole cost, expense and effort, request any one or more of the Lenders to increase its Commitment Amount (the decision to increase the Commitment Amount of a Lender to be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender), or any other Person reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank to provide a new Commitment, by submitting an Increase Supplement duly executed by the Borrower and each such Lender or other Person, as the case may be. If such Increase Supplement is in the form of Exhibit G and properly completed and executed, the Administrative Agent shall execute such Increase Supplement and deliver a copy thereof to the Borrower and each such Lender or other Person, as the case may be. Upon execution and delivery of such Increase Supplement by the Administrative Agent, (i) in the case of each such Lender, such Lender's Commitment Amount shall be increased to the amount set forth in such Increase Supplement, (ii) in the case of each such other Person, such other Person shall become a party hereto and shall for all purposes of the Loan Documents be deemed a "Lender" as set forth in such Increase Supplement, and (iii) in each case, the Commitment Amount of such Lender or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be as set forth in the applicable Increase Supplement; provided, however, that: (A) immediately after giving effect thereto, the sum of all increases in the Aggregate Commitment Amount shall not exceed $190,000,000 (B) each such increase shall be in an amount not less than $25,000,000; (C) if Revolving Credit Loans would be outstanding immediately after giving effect to each such increase, then simultaneously with such increase (1) each such Lender, each such other Person and each other Lender shall be deemed to have entered into a master assignment and acceptance agreement, in form and substance substantially similar to Exhibit H, pursuant to which each such other Lender shall have assigned to each such Lender and each such other Person a portion of its Revolving Credit Loans necessary to reflect proportionately the Commitment Amounts as adjusted in accordance with this subsection (d), and (2) in connection with such assignment, each such Lender and each such other Person shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the other Lenders, such amount as shall be necessary to appropriately reflect the assignment to it of Revolving Credit Loans, and in connection with such master assignment each such other Lender may treat the assignment of Eurodollar Advances as a prepayment of such Eurodollar Advances for purposes of Section 3.5; (D) each such other Person shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower all forms, if any, that are required to be delivered by such other Person pursuant to Section 3.10; and (E) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a certificate of a Financial Officer demonstrating pro-forma compliance with the terms of this Agreement through the Maturity Date and the Administrative Agent shall have received such certificates, legal opinions and other items as it shall reasonably request in connection with such increase. Section 2.6 Prepayments of the Loans (a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Revolving Credit Loans without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 3.5), in full at any time or in part from time to time by notifying the Administrative Agent in writing no later than 1:00 p.m. on the proposed prepayment date, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans consisting of ABR Advances and at least three Business Days prior to the proposed prepayment date, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans consisting of Eurodollar Advances, specifying whether the Revolving Credit Loans to be prepaid consist of ABR Advances, Eurodollar Advances, or a combination thereof, the amount to be prepaid and the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and the amount specified in each such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified, together with accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Each partial prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this subsection shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, or, if less, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans. After giving effect to any partial prepayment with respect to Eurodollar Advances which were made (whether as the result of a borrowing or a conversion) on the same date and which had the same Interest Period, the outstanding principal balance of such Eurodollar Advances shall exceed (subject to Section 3.3) $2,500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Competitive Bid Loans may not be prepaid. (b) Mandatory Prepayments of Loans Relating to Termination of the Commitments and Reductions of the Aggregate Commitment Amount. Upon any termination of the Commitments of all of the Lenders, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans and deposit into the Cash Collateral Account an amount which would cause the balance on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account to equal or exceed an amount equal to (i) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Competitive Bid Loans, plus (ii) the Letter of Credit Exposure of all Lenders. Upon each reduction of the Aggregate Commitment Amount, if the Aggregate Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Commitment Amount as so reduced, the Borrower shall either (A) prepay the Revolving Credit Loans, or (B) make a deposit into the Cash Collateral Account, or both, so that Aggregate Commitment Amount as so reduced plus the balance on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account would exceed the Aggregate Credit Exposure. (c) In General. Simultaneously with each prepayment of a Loan, the Borrower shall prepay all accrued interest on the amount prepaid through the date of prepayment. Each prepayment under subsection (b) above, shall be applied (i) first, to the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, and (ii) second, to the outstanding principal amount of the Competitive Bid Loans, ratably among the Lenders holding Competitive Bid Loans in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans held by each. Unless otherwise specified by the Borrower, each prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans shall first be applied to ABR Advances. If any prepayment is made in respect of any Eurodollar Advance, in whole or in part, prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.5. Section 2.7 Use of Proceeds The Borrower agrees that the proceeds of the Loans shall be used solely, directly or indirectly, to (i) pay all of the Fees due hereunder, (ii) pay the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Borrower in connection with the Loan Documents and (iii) for the Borrower's general corporate purposes not inconsistent with the provisions hereof, including the repurchase of the Capital Stock of the Borrower, the repayment of amounts due in respect of the Senior Notes or the prepayment thereof and, in connection with the consummation of the Anchor Merger, to make an equity contribution to Anchor to enable Anchor to repay the Anchor Bank Debt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the Borrower agrees that no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, directly or indirectly, for a purpose which violates any law, including, without limitation, the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended. Section 2.8 Letter of Credit Sub-Facility (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance on the agreement of the other Lenders set forth in Section 2.9, to issue Documentary Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit (collectively, the "Letters of Credit"; each, individually, a "Letter of Credit") during the Commitment Period for the account of the Borrower, provided that immediately after the issuance of each Letter of Credit (i) the Letter of Credit Exposure of all Lenders (whether or not the conditions for drawing under any Letter of Credit have or may be satisfied) would not exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment Amount and (ii) the Aggregate Credit Exposure would not exceed the Aggregate Commitment Amount. Each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Section shall have an expiration date which shall be not later than the earlier of (i) twelve months after the date of issuance thereof or (ii) ten Business Days before the Maturity Date. No Letter of Credit shall be issued if the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender by notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, shall have determined that any condition set forth in Article 5 or 6 has not been satisfied. (b) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued for the account of the Borrower in support of an obligation of the Borrower in favor of a beneficiary who has requested the issuance of such Letter of Credit as a condition to a transaction entered into in connection with the Borrower's ordinary course of business. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit Request for the issuance of each Letter of Credit by 1:00 p.m., three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be accompanied by the Issuing Bank's standard Application and Agreement for Standby Letter of Credit or Application and Agreement for Commercial Letter of Credit, as applicable (each, a "Reimbursement Agreement"), executed by an Authorized Signatory of the Borrower, and shall specify (i) whether the requested Letter of Credit is a Documentary Letter of Credit or a Standby Letter of Credit, (ii) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrower in respect of which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, (iii) the Borrower's proposal as to the conditions under which a drawing may be made under such Letter of Credit and the documentation to be required in respect thereof, (iv) the maximum amount to be available under such Letter of Credit, and (v) the requested dates of issuance and expiration. Upon receipt of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Issuing Bank and each other Lender thereof. Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, with such provisions with respect to the conditions under which a drawing may be made thereunder and the documentation required in respect of such drawing as the Issuing Bank shall reasonably require. Each Letter of Credit shall be used solely for the purposes described therein. The Issuing Bank shall, on the proposed date of issuance and subject to the terms and conditions of the Reimbursement Agreement and to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit. (c) Each payment by the Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under a Letter of Credit shall give rise to an obligation on the part of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank immediately for the amount thereof. Section 2.9 Letter of Credit Participation and Funding Commitments (a) Each Lender hereby unconditionally, irrevocably and severally (and not jointly) for itself only, without any notice to or the taking of any action by such Lender, takes upon the date of issuance with respect to each Letter of Credit, an undivided participating interest in the obligations of the Issuing Bank under and in connection with each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to such Lender's Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Lender shall be liable to the Issuing Bank for its Commitment Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any draft drawn and honored under each Letter of Credit. Each Lender shall also be liable for an amount equal to the product of its Commitment Percentage and any amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8(c) and 2.10 that are subsequently rescinded or avoided, or must otherwise be restored or returned. Such liabilities shall be unconditional and without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or the compliance by the Borrower with any of its obligations under the Loan Documents. (b) The Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender (which notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing) of the date and the amount of any draft presented under any Letter of Credit with respect to which full reimbursement of payment is not made by the Borrower as provided in Section 2.8(c), and forthwith upon receipt of such notice, such Lender (other than the Issuing Bank in its capacity as a Lender in the case of an unreimbursed drawing under a Letter of Credit) shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such unreimbursed draft at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 11.2, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds, before 4:00 p.m., on the day such notice was given by the Administrative Agent, if the relevant notice was given by the Administrative Agent at or prior to 1:00 p.m. on such day, and before 12:00 noon, on the next Business Day, if the relevant notice was given by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. on such day. The Administrative Agent shall distribute the payments made by each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank in its capacity as a Lender in the case of an unreimbursed drawing under a Letter of Credit) pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to the Issuing Bank promptly upon receipt thereof in like funds as received. Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank from and against any and all losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses payable to the Issuing Bank as the issuer of the relevant Letter of Credit) resulting from any failure on the part of such Lender to provide, or from any delay in providing, the Administrative Agent with such Lender's Commitment Percentage of the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit in accordance with this subsection (b) (except in respect of losses, liabilities or other obligations suffered by the Issuing Bank resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct). If a Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent when due such Lender's Commitment Percentage of any unreimbursed payment made by the Issuing Bank, under a Letter of Credit (other than payments made by the Issuing Bank by reason of its gross negligence or willful misconduct), such Lender shall be required to pay interest to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank on such Lender's Commitment Percentage of such amount at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for the first three days after the due date of such payment, and the Federal Funds Rate plus 2% thereafter, until the date such payment is received by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such interest payments to the Issuing Bank upon receipt thereof in like funds as received. (c) Whenever the Administrative Agent is reimbursed by the Borrower, for the account of the Issuing Bank for any payment under a Letter of Credit and such payment relates to an amount previously paid by a Lender in respect of its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment under such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent (or the Issuing Bank to the extent that the Administrative Agent has paid the same to it) will pay over such payment to such Lender (i) before 4:00 p.m. on the Business Day such payment from the Borrower is received, if such payment is received at or prior to 1:00 p.m. on such day, or (ii) before 1:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day, if such payment from the Borrower is received after 1:00 p.m. on such day. Section 2.10 Absolute Obligation With Respect to Letter of Credit Payments The Borrower's obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit for each payment made under or in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be absolute and unconditional and joint and several under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent, or the Issuing Bank, as issuer of such Letter of Credit, any Lender or any other Person, including, without limitation, any defense based on the failure of any drawing to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit, any drawing document proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid, or the legality, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit, the foregoing shall not relieve the Issuing Bank of any liability it may have to the Borrower for any actual damages sustained by the Borrower arising from a wrongful payment under such Letter of Credit made as a result of the Issuing Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Section 2.11 Payments (a) Each payment, including each prepayment, of principal and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans, of the Facility Fee, the Utilization Fee, the Letter of Credit Commissions and of all of the other fees to be paid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement (the Facility Fee, the Utilization Fee and the Letter of Credit Commissions, together with all of such other fees, being sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Fees") shall be made by the Borrower prior to 4:00 p.m. on the date such payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders at the Administrative Agent's office specified in Section 11.2, in each case in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds and without set-off or counterclaim. As between the Borrower and the Lenders, any payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders shall be deemed to be payment by the Borrower to the Lenders. The failure of the Borrower to make any such payment by such time shall not constitute a Default, provided that such payment is made on such due date, but any such payment made after 4:00 p.m. on such due date shall be deemed to have been made on the next Business Day for the purpose of calculating interest on amounts outstanding on the Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to Section 9.2(b), promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each payment, including each prepayment, pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall remit such payment in like funds as received as follows: (i) in the case of the Facility Fee and the Letter of Credit Commissions to each Lender according to its Commitment Percentage, and (ii) in the case of principal and interest on the Loans, to each Lender pro rata according to its Outstanding Percentage of the amount of principal or interest, as the case may be, which is then due and payable to the Lenders. (b) If any payment hereunder, under the Notes or under any Reimbursement Agreement shall be due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof (except as otherwise provided in the definition of Eurodollar Interest Period) shall be extended to the next Business Day and (except with respect to payments in respect of the Fees) interest shall be payable at the applicable rate specified herein during such extension, provided, however, that if such next Business Day is after the Maturity Date, any such payment shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. (c) If the Lenders make Revolving Credit Loans on a Borrowing Date on which the Borrower is to repay a Competitive Bid Loan, if so requested in writing by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall apply the specified portion proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans to make such repayment, and only the excess of the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans over the Competitive Bid Loan being repaid need be made available to the Borrower. Section 2.12 Cash Collateral Account At, or at any time before, the time the Borrower shall be required to make a deposit into the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Section 2.6(b), the Administrative Agent shall establish and maintain at its offices at One Wall Street, New York, New York in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, a cash collateral account designated as "International Game Technology/Cash Collateral Account" (the "Cash Collateral Account"). The Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent for its benefit, the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the pro rata benefit of the Lenders, a Lien on and security interest in the Cash Collateral Account and all sums at any time and from time to time on deposit therein (the Cash Collateral Account, together with all sums on deposit therein, being sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Cash Collateral"), as collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (the "Obligations"). The Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent any further instruments and documents, and take any further actions, that may be necessary or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Cash Collateral. The Borrower agrees that it will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Cash Collateral, or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon any of the Cash Collateral, except for Permitted Liens. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, promptly after each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall become due and payable, to apply any and all cash on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account towards the reimbursement of the Issuing Bank for all sums paid in respect of such drawing, and all other Obligations which shall then be due and owing. ARTICLE 3. INTEREST, FEES, YIELD PROTECTIONS, ETC. --------------------------------------- Section 3.1 Interest Rate and Payment Dates (a) Prior to Maturity. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.1(b) and 3.1(c), prior to maturity, the Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal balance thereof at the applicable interest rate or rates per annum set forth below: ============================== ============================================= ADVANCES/LOANS RATE ------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- Each ABR Advance Alternate Base Rate ------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- Each Eurodollar Advance Eurodollar Rate applicable thereto plus the Applicable Margin ------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- Each Competitive Bid Loan Competitive Bid Rate applicable thereto ============================== ============================================= (b) Late Charges. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Sections 9.1(a) or (b), the unpaid principal balance of the Loans shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum (whether before or after the entry of a judgment thereon) equal to (i) in the case of each Competitive Bid Loan, 2% plus the Alternate Base Rate and (ii) in all other cases, 2% plus the rate which would otherwise be applicable under Section 3.1(a), and any overdue Reimbursement Obligation, interest or other amount payable under the Loan Documents shall bear interest (whether before or after the entry of a judgment thereon) payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the Alternate Base Rate. (c) Highest Lawful Rate. At no time shall the interest rate payable on the Loans of any Lender, together with the Fees and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents to such Lender, to the extent the same are construed to constitute interest, exceed the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender. If with respect to any Lender for any period during the term of this Agreement, any amount paid to such Lender under the Loan Documents, to the extent the same shall (but for the provisions of this Section) constitute or be deemed to constitute interest, would exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender during such period (such amount being hereinafter referred to as an "Unqualified Amount"), then (i) such Unqualified Amount shall be applied or shall be deemed to have been applied as a prepayment of the Loans of such Lender, and (ii) if in any subsequent period during the term of this Agreement, all amounts payable under the Loan Documents to such Lender in respect of such period which constitute or shall be deemed to constitute interest shall be less than the maximum amount of interest permitted by the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender during such period, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender in respect of such period an amount (each a "Compensatory Interest Payment") equal to the lesser of (x) a sum which, when added to all such amounts, would equal the maximum amount of interest permitted by the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender during such period, and (y) an amount equal to the Unqualified Amount less all other Compensatory Interest Payments made in respect thereof. (d) In General. Interest on (i) ABR Advances to the extent based on the BNY Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366-day year (as the case may be), and (ii) ABR Advances to the extent based on the Federal Funds Rate, on Eurodollar Advances and on Competitive Bid Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case, for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.1(b), interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and upon each payment (including prepayment) of the Loans. Any change in the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Loans resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate or reserve requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change shall become effective. The Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable, notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in the BNY Rate, but any failure to so notify shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay interest on the Loans in the amounts and on the dates required. Each determination of the Alternate Base Rate or a Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto absent manifest error. The Borrower acknowledges that to the extent interest payable on ABR Advances is based on the BNY Rate, such rate is only one of the bases for computing interest on loans made by the Lenders, and by basing interest payable on ABR Advances on the BNY Rate, the Lenders have not committed to charge, and the Borrower has not in any way bargained for, interest based on a lower or the lowest rate at which the Lenders may now or in the future make loans to other borrowers. Section 3.2 Fees (a) Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with each Lender's Commitment Percentage, a fee (the "Facility Fee"), during the period from the Restatement Date through the Maturity Date, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Fee Percentage on the average daily Aggregate Commitment Amount, regardless of usage. The Facility Fee shall be payable (i) quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such period commencing on the first such day following the Restatement Date, (ii) on the date of any reduction in the Aggregate Commitment Amount (to the extent of such reduction) and (iii) on the Maturity Date. The Facility Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall bill the Borrower for the amount due at least two days prior to the date on which such Facility Fees are due, provided that any failure of the Administrative Agent to render such bill shall in no way affect the Borrower's obligation to pay such Facility Fees at such specified times. (b) Letter of Credit Commissions. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with each Lender's Commitment Percentage, commissions (the "Letter of Credit Commissions") in connection with the Letters of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit to and including the expiration date thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin in effect on the date of issuance thereof on the average daily maximum amount available under any contingency to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit Commissions shall be (i) calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and (ii) payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December of each year and on the date that the Commitments shall expire. In addition to the Letter of Credit Commissions, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank, for its own account, its standard fees and charges customarily charged to customers similar to the Borrower with respect to any Letter of Credit. (c) Administrative Agent's and Issuing Bank's Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, for their own respective accounts, such other fees as have been agreed to in writing by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank. (d) Utilization Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of (i) in respect of Revolving Credit Loans and Letter of Credit Exposure, the Lenders in accordance with each Lender's Commitment Percentage, and (ii) in respect of Competitive Bid Loans, each Lender making a Competitive Bid Loan during such period pro rata among all such Lenders, a fee (the "Utilization Fee"), during the period from the Restatement Date through the Maturity Date, at a rate per annum equal to 0.125% on the average daily amount during any period when the Total Facility Usage Percentage is greater than 50%. The Utilization Fee shall be payable (A) quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such period commencing on the first such day following the Restatement Date, and (B) on the Maturity Date. The Utilization Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall bill the Borrower for the amount due at least two days prior to the date on which such Utilization Fees are due, provided that any failure of the Administrative Agent to render such bill shall in no way affect the Borrower's obligation to pay such Utilization Fees at such specified times. Section 3.3 Conversions (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert one or more Eurodollar Advances to ABR Advances by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day's prior irrevocable notice of such election, specifying the amount to be converted, provided, that any such conversion of Eurodollar Advances shall only be made on the last day of the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto. In addition, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert (i) ABR Advances to Eurodollar Advances and (ii) Eurodollar Advances to new Eurodollar Advances by selecting a new Eurodollar Interest Period therefor, in each case by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such election, in the case of a conversion to Eurodollar Advances specifying the amount to be so converted and the initial Eurodollar Interest Period relating thereto, provided that any such conversion of ABR Advances to Eurodollar Advances shall only be made on a Business Day and any such conversion of Eurodollar Advances to new Eurodollar Advances shall only be made on the last day of the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable to the Eurodollar Advances which are to be converted to such new Eurodollar Advances. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall be given by the delivery by telecopy of a Notice of Conversion (confirmed promptly, and in any event within five Business Days, by the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Conversion manually signed by the Borrower). The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide the Lenders with notice of each such election. Advances may be converted pursuant to this Section in whole or in part, provided that the amount to be converted to each Eurodollar Advance, when aggregated with any Eurodollar Advance to be made on such date in accordance with Section 2.3 and having the same Eurodollar Interest Period as such first Eurodollar Advance, shall equal no less than $2,500,000 or such amount plus a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, the Borrower shall have no right to elect to convert any existing ABR Advance to a new Eurodollar Advance or to convert any existing Eurodollar Advance to a new Eurodollar Advance. In such event, all ABR Advances shall be automatically continued as ABR Advances and all Eurodollar Advances shall be automatically converted to ABR Advances on the last day of the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Advance. (c) Each conversion shall be effected by each Lender by applying the proceeds of its new ABR Advance or Eurodollar Advance, as the case may be, to its Advances (or portion thereof) being converted (it being understood that any such conversion shall not constitute a borrowing for purposes of Articles 4, 5 or 6). (d) Competitive Bid Loans may not be converted. Section 3.4 Concerning Eurodollar Interest Periods Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document: (a) If the Borrower shall have failed to elect a Eurodollar Advance under Section 2.3 or 3.3, as the case may be, in connection with any borrowing of new Revolving Credit Loans or expiration of an Eurodollar Interest Period with respect to any existing Eurodollar Advance, the amount of the Revolving Credit Loans subject to such borrowing or such existing Eurodollar Advance shall thereafter be an ABR Advance until such time, if any, as the Borrower shall elect a new Eurodollar Advance pursuant to Section 3.3. (b) No Eurodollar Interest Period selected in respect of the conversion of any Eurodollar Advance comprising a Revolving Credit Loan shall end after the Maturity Date. (c) The Borrower shall not be permitted to have more than ten Eurodollar Advances outstanding at any one time, it being agreed that each borrowing of a Eurodollar Advance pursuant to a single Borrowing Request shall constitute the making of one Eurodollar Advance for the purpose of calculating such limitation. Section 3.5 Break Funding Payments In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment (voluntary or otherwise) of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan or Competitive Bid Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan or Competitive Bid Loan on the date specified in any Borrowing Request, Notice of Conversion or Competitive Bid Accept/Reject Letter delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan or or Competitive Bid Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period or maturity date applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.12, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the reasonable loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurodollar Rate that would have been applicable to such Eurodollar Loan for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A statement setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by a Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to the Borrower shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall only be obligated to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent for any amount under this Section arising or occurring during the period commencing not more than 90 days prior to the date on which the officer of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, requests such compensation. Section 3.6 Capital Adequacy If the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Person directly or indirectly owning or controlling such Lender or the Issuing Bank (each a "Control Person"), shall be affected by the occurrence of a Regulatory Change and such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have determined that such Regulatory Change shall have had or will thereafter have the effect of reducing (i) the rate of return on such Lender's or such Control Person's capital, or (ii) the asset value to such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Control Person of the Loans made or maintained by such Lender, or of the Reimbursement Obligations or any participation therein, in any case to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Control Person could have achieved or would thereafter be able to achieve but for such Regulatory Change (after taking into account such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's or such Control Person's policies regarding capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Issuing Bank to be material to such Lender or the Issuing Bank or Control Person, then, within ten days after demand by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Control Person such additional amount or amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Control Person, as the case may be, for such reduction. A statement setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by a Lender or the Issuing Bank to the Borrower shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error. No failure by any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand, and no delay in demanding, compensation under this Section shall constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation at any time, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for any amount under this Section arising or occurring during the period commencing not more than 90 days prior to the date on which the officer of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, primarily responsible for the administration of this Agreement obtains actual knowledge that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, is entitled to such compensation. Section 3.7 Reimbursement for Increased Costs If any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank shall determine that a Regulatory Change: (a) does or shall subject it to any increased Taxes of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Eurodollar Advances or its obligations under this Agreement to make Eurodollar Advances, or change the basis of taxation of payments to it of principal, interest or any other amount payable hereunder in respect of its Eurodollar Advances, or impose on the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender any other condition regarding the Letters of Credit including any Taxes required to be withheld from any amounts payable under the Loan Documents (except for imposition of, or change in the rate of, Tax on the Income of such Lender); or (b) imposes, modifies or makes applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, assessment, increased cost or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender in respect of its Eurodollar Advances which is not otherwise included in the determination of a Eurodollar Rate or against any Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank or participated in by any Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, renewing, converting or maintaining its Eurodollar Advances or its commitment to make such Eurodollar Advances, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect of its Eurodollar Advances, or to increase the cost to the Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining the Letters of Credit or the cost to any Lender of participating therein or the cost to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank of performing its respective functions hereunder with respect to the Letters of Credit, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall pay such Lender, the Administrative Agent, or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, within ten days after demand therefor, such additional amounts as is sufficient to compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, for such additional cost or reduction in such amount receivable which such Lender deems to be material as determined by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall require the Borrower to indemnify the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, with respect to withholding Taxes for which the Borrower has no obligation under Section 3.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall only be obligated to compensate the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender for any amount under this Section arising or occurring during the period commencing not more than 90 days prior to the date on which the officer of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender primarily responsible for the administration of this Agreement obtains actual knowledge that such Lender is entitled to such compensation. A statement setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by a Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to the Borrower shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error. Section 3.8 Illegality of Funding Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Lender shall reasonably determine that any law, regulation, treaty or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Advance as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof, and (i) the commitment of such Lender to make such Eurodollar Advances or convert ABR Advances to Eurodollar Advances shall forthwith be suspended, (ii) such Lender shall fund its portion of each requested Eurodollar Advance as an ABR Advance and (iii) such Lender's Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding as such Eurodollar Advances, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Advances on the last day of the then current Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto or at such earlier time as may be required by law. If the commitment of any Lender with respect to Eurodollar Advances is suspended pursuant to this Section and such Lender shall have obtained actual knowledge that it is once again legal for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Advances, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower thereof and, upon receipt of such notice by each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, such Lender's commitment to make or maintain Eurodollar Advances shall be reinstated. Section 3.9 Substituted Interest Rate In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market either adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate applicable pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to any portion of the Revolving Credit Loans that the Borrower has requested be made as Eurodollar Advances or Eurodollar Advances that will result from the requested conversion of any portion of the Advances into or of Eurodollar Advances (each, an "Affected Advance"), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders (by telephone or otherwise, to be promptly confirmed in writing) of such determination, on or, to the extent practicable, prior to the requested Borrowing Date or Conversion Date for such Affected Advances. If the Administrative Agent shall give such notice, (a) any Affected Advances shall be made as ABR Advances, (b) the Advances (or any portion thereof) that were to have been converted to Affected Advances shall be converted to ABR Advances and (c) any outstanding Affected Advances shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Eurodollar Interest Period with respect thereto, to ABR Advances. Until any notice under this Section has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (by notice to the Borrower promptly upon the Administrative Agent having determined that such circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market no longer exist and that adequate and reasonable means do exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate pursuant to Section 3.1, no further Eurodollar Advances shall be required to be made by the Lenders, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Loans to or as Eurodollar Advances. Section 3.10 Taxes (a) Payments to be Free and Clear. All payments by the Borrower under the Loan Documents to or for the account of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender (each, an "Indemnified Tax Person") shall be made free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments, deductions, withholdings, or other charges of whatever nature, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld, or assessed by any jurisdiction, or by any department, agency, state or other political subdivision thereof or therein (collectively, "Taxes"), excluding as to any Indemnified Tax Person, (i) a Tax on the Income imposed on such Indemnified Tax Person and (ii) any interest, fees, additions to tax or penalties for late payment thereof (each such nonexcluded Tax, an "Indemnified Tax"). For purposes hereof, "Tax on the Income" shall mean, as to any Person, a Tax imposed by one of the following jurisdictions or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof: (i) the United States, (ii) the jurisdiction in which such Person is organized, (iii) the jurisdiction in which such Person's principal office is located, or (iv) in the case of each Lender, any jurisdiction in which such Lender's Applicable Lending Office is located; which Tax is an income tax or franchise tax imposed on all or part of the net income or net profits of such Person or which Tax represents interest, fees, or penalties for late payment of such an income tax or franchise tax. (b) Grossing Up of Payments. If the Borrower or any other Person is required by any law, rule, regulation, order, directive, treaty or guideline to make any deduction or withholding (which deduction or withholding would constitute an Indemnified Tax) from any amount required to be paid by the Borrower to or on behalf of an Indemnified Tax Person under any Loan Document (i) the Borrower shall pay such Indemnified Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made for its own account (if the liability to pay is imposed on the Borrower) or on behalf of and in the name of such Indemnified Tax Person (if the liability is imposed on such Indemnified Tax Person), and (ii) the sum payable to such Indemnified Tax Person shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such Indemnified Tax Person receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no additional amount shall be required to be paid to any Indemnified Tax Person under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence except to the extent that the requirement to deduct or withhold or the amount thereof is attributable to (i) the introduction after the Relevant Date of any law, rule or regulation requiring any Person to withhold or deduct any amount from any payment under the Loan Documents in respect of an Indemnified Tax or (ii) any increase after the Relevant Date in the rate of any such withholding or deduction. (c) Other Taxes. The Borrower agrees to pay any current 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 from the execution, delivery or registration of, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, the Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to, the Loan Documents (collectively, the "Other Taxes"). (d) Evidence of Payment. Within 30 days after the reasonable request therefor by the Administrative Agent in connection with any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of an official receipt from the jurisdiction to which payment is made evidencing payment thereof or, if unavailable, a certificate from a Financial Officer that states that such payment has been made and that sets forth the date and amount of such payment. (e) U.S. Tax Certificates. Each Indemnified Tax Person that is not a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrower, on or prior to the Relevant Date and at such other times as the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W8-BEN or Form W8-ECI, or successor applicable form, certifying to the Lender's legal entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to all payments to be made to such Lender under the Loan Documents. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any such Indemnified Tax Person under subsection (b) above if such Indemnified Tax Person shall have failed to satisfy the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence; provided that if such Indemnified Tax Person shall have satisfied such requirements on the Relevant Date, nothing in this subsection shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to subsection (b) in the event that, as a result of any change in applicable law or treaty, such Indemnified Tax Person is no longer properly entitled to deliver certificates, documents or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Indemnified Tax Person is no longer entitled to such exemption or reduced rate. Section 3.11 Option to Fund Each Lender has indicated that, if the Borrower requests a Eurodollar Advance or such Lender makes a Competitive Bid Loan to the Borrower, as the case may be, such Lender may wish to purchase one or more deposits in order to fund or maintain its funding of its Commitment Percentage of such Eurodollar Advance or its Competitive Bid Loan, as the case may be, during the Interest Period applicable thereto; it being understood that the provisions of this Agreement relating to such funding are included only for the purpose of determining the rate of interest to be paid in respect of such Eurodollar Advance or Competitive Bid Loan, as the case may be, and any amounts owing under Sections 3.5 and 3.7. Each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of each Eurodollar Advance and each Competitive Bid Loan, as the case may be, in any manner it sees fit, but all such determinations under Sections 3.5 and 3.7 shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained its Commitment Percentage of each such Eurodollar Advance or the amount of its Competitive Bid Loan, as the case may be, during the applicable Interest Period through the purchase of deposits in an amount equal to the amount of its Commitment Percentage of such Eurodollar Advance or the amount of its Competitive Bid Loan, as the case may be, having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period. Any Lender may fund its Commitment Percentage of each Eurodollar Advance or its Competitive Bid Loan, as the case may be, from or for the account of any branch or office of such Lender as such Lender may choose from time to time. Section 3.12 Substitution of a Lender Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Lender shall request compensation pursuant to Sections 3.6, 3.7 or 3.10 in an aggregate amount in excess of $25,000, then, in each such case, the Borrower may require that such Lender transfer all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement and such Lender's Notes to one or more of the other Lenders or any other lender identified by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (a "Proposed Lender"), if such Proposed Lender agrees to assume all of the obligations of such Lender for consideration equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender's Loans, together with interest thereon to the date of such transfer and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents to such Lender on or prior to the date of such transfer (including, without limitation, any fees accrued hereunder and any amounts which would be payable under Section 3.5 as if all of such Lender's Loans were being prepaid in full on such date). Subject to the execution and delivery of new Notes, an instrument of assignment and assumption, and such other documents as such Lender may reasonably require, such Proposed Lender shall be a "Lender" for all purposes hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements of the Borrower contained in Sections 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 11.5 and 11.8 (without duplication of any payments made to such Lender by the Borrower or the Proposed Lender) shall survive for the benefit of any Lender replaced under this Section 3.12 with respect to the time prior to such replacement.

Section 4.2 Existence and Power The Borrower is duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. Each of the Borrower's Subsidiaries is duly organized or formed and, except to the extent that such Subsidiary has been dissolved in accordance with Section 7.3, validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, has all requisite power and authority to own its Property and to carry on its business as now conducted, and is in good standing and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted therein or the Property owned by it therein makes such qualification necessary, except where such failure to qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Section 4.3 Authority and Execution Each Loan Party has full corporate or other analogous power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform the terms of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary corporate or other analogous action and is in full compliance with its Organizational Documents. Each Loan Party has duly executed and delivered the Loan Documents to which it is a party. Section 4.4 Binding Agreement The Loan Documents (other than the Notes) constitute, and the Notes, when issued and delivered pursuant hereto for value received, will constitute, the valid and legally binding obligations of each Loan Party, to the extent it is a party thereto, enforceable against each Loan Party in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally. Section 4.5 Litigation Except as set forth on Schedule 4.5, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any Governmental Authority (whether purportedly on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or maintained by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or which may affect the Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Properties or rights, which (i) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) call into question the validity or enforceability of, or otherwise seek to invalidate, any Loan Document. Section 4.6 Required Consents Except for consents, authorizations, approvals, filings and exemptions set forth on Schedule 4.6, all of which have been obtained, made or waived (other than for the filing of the Loan Documents with various Gaming Authorities, which filings are for informational purposes only and with respect to which the failure to file the same would not affect the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents), no consent, authorization or approval of, filing with, notice to, or exemption by, stockholders or holders of any other equity interest, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by any Loan Party or is required as a condition to the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents.

The execution, delivery or carrying out of the terms of the Loan Documents will not violate any statute, law or regulation applicable to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, except to the extent any such violations would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery or carrying out of the terms of the Loan Documents will not constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of, or obligation to create, any Lien upon any Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or result in a breach of or require the mandatory repayment of or other acceleration of payment under or pursuant to the terms of any such mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement or any Gaming License. (b) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default with respect to any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or decision of any Governmental Authority which default would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Section 4.8 Compliance with Applicable Laws The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is complying with all statutes, regulations, rules and orders of all Governmental Authorities, including, without limitation, all Gaming Laws, which are applicable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary, a violation of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Section 4.9 Taxes The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns required to be filed and has paid, or has made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or in any assessments made against it (other than those being contested as required under Section 7.4) which would be material to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and no tax Liens have been filed with respect thereto. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries with respect to all taxes are, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, adequate for the payment of such taxes, and the Borrower knows of no unpaid assessment which is due and payable against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any claims being asserted which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except such thereof as are being contested as required under Section 7.4, and for which adequate reserves have been set aside in accordance with GAAP. Section 4.10 Governmental Regulations Neither the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries nor any Person controlled by, controlling, or under common control with, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, the Federal Power Act, as amended, or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or is subject to any statute or regulation which prohibits or restricts the incurrence of Indebtedness, including, without limitation, statutes or regulations relative to common or contract carriers or to the sale of electricity, gas, steam, water, telephone, telegraph or other public utility services, other than Gaming Laws.

Section 4.12 Plans (a) With respect to each Pension Plan: (i) such Pension Plan complies in all material respects with ERISA and any other applicable laws to the extent that noncompliance would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) such Pension Plan has not incurred any "accumulated funding deficiency" (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) no "reportable event" (as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA) has occurred that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (iv) neither the Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has engaged in any nonexempt "prohibited transactions" (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code) that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. (b) Neither the Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred or expects to incur any withdrawal liability to any Multiemployer Plan that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Section 4.13 Financial Statements The Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders copies of its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2000 containing the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, and the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Cash Flows and Changes in Stockholder's Equity for the periods then ended, and its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2001, containing the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such fiscal quarter, together with the related Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows for the fiscal quarter then ended (with the applicable related notes and schedules, the "Financial Statements"). The Financial Statements fairly present the Consolidated financial condition and results of the operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods indicated therein and have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. Except as reflected in the Financial Statements or in the footnotes thereto, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligation or liability of any kind (whether fixed, accrued, Contingent, unmatured or otherwise) which, in accordance with GAAP, should have been shown in the Financial Statements and was not. Since September 30, 2000, the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have conducted its business only in the ordinary course and there has been no Material Adverse Change. Section 4.14 Property Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all of its Real Property, and is the owner of, or has a valid lease of, all personal property, in each case which is material to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, subject to no Liens, except Permitted Liens. All leases of Property to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are in full force and effect, the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, enjoys quiet and undisturbed possession under all leases of real property and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default beyond any applicable grace period of any provision thereof, the effect of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Section 4.15 Authorizations The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries possesses or has the right to use all franchises, licenses (other than Gaming Licenses) and other rights as are material and necessary for the conduct of its business, and with respect to which it is in compliance, with no known conflict with the valid rights of others except to the extent such non-compliance or conflict would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No event has occurred which permits or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, after notice or the lapse of time or both, or any other condition, would reasonably be expected to permit, the revocation or termination of any such franchise, license or other right which revocation or termination would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Section 4.16 Gaming Laws Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has duly and timely filed all filings which are required to be filed by it under all applicable Gaming Laws, the failure to file of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) is in all material respects in compliance with all applicable Gaming Laws, the failure to be in compliance with which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Section 4.17 Environmental Matters (a) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.17, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, no Hazardous Substances have been generated or manufactured on, transported to or from, treated at, stored at or discharged from any Real Property in violation of any Environmental Laws; no Hazardous Substances have been discharged into subsurface waters under any Real Property in violation of any Environmental Laws; no Hazardous Substances have been discharged from any Real Property on or into Property or waters (including subsurface waters) adjacent to any Real Property in violation of any Environmental Laws; and there are not now, nor ever have been, on any Real Property any underground or above ground storage tanks regulated under any Environmental Laws.

Section 4.18 Absence of Certain Restrictions No indenture, certificate of designation for preferred stock, agreement or instrument to which the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary is a party (other than, (i) this Agreement, (ii) on and after the Anchor Merger Date, the Anchor Indenture and (iii) any agreement governing Indebtedness permitted under Section 8.1(h)), and no provision of any law or regulation, including, without limitation, any Gaming Law, applicable to the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary, prohibits or limits in any way, directly or indirectly the ability of any such Significant Subsidiary, to make Restricted Payments or repay any Indebtedness to the Borrower or any other Subsidiary. Section 4.19 No Misrepresentation No representation or warranty contained in any Loan Document and no certificate or report from time to time furnished by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, contains or will contain a misstatement of material fact, or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, omits or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated in order to make the statements therein contained not misleading in light of the circumstances under which made, provided that any projections or pro forma financial information contained therein are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts, and that actual results during the period or periods covered thereby may differ from the projected results. Section 4.20 Domestic Subsidiaries (a) As of the Restatement Date, the Borrower does not own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the Capital Stock of the Spin for Cash Joint Venture.

ARTICLE 10. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ------------------------ Section 10.1 Appointment Each of the Issuing Bank and each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints BNY as the Administrative Agent of the Issuing Bank and such Lender under the Loan Documents and each of the Issuing Bank and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature, and, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in any Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth therein, or any fiduciary relationship with, or fiduciary duty to, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into the Loan Documents or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Section 10.2 Delegation of Duties The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in, and shall not be under any liability for, relying upon, the advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Section 10.3 Exculpatory Provisions Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with the Loan Documents (except the Administrative Agent for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to the Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any officer thereof contained in the Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, the Loan Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, perfection, enforceability or sufficiency of any of the Loan Documents or for any failure of the Borrower or any other Person to perform its obligations thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to the Issuing Bank or any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, the Loan Documents, or to inspect the Property, books or records of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The Issuing Bank and the Lenders acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall not be under any duty to take any discretionary action permitted under the Loan Documents unless the Administrative Agent shall be instructed in writing to do so by the Issuing Bank and Required Lenders and such instructions shall be binding on the Issuing Bank and all Lenders and all holders of the Notes; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or is contrary to law or any provision of the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any liability or responsibility whatsoever, as Administrative Agent, to the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person as a consequence of any failure or delay in performance, or any breach, by the Issuing Bank or any Lender of any of its obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Section 10.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, opinion, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may treat the Issuing Bank or each Lender, as the case may be, or the Person designated in the last notice filed with it under this Section, as the holder of all of the interests of the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, in its Loans, Notes, the Letters of Credit and the Reimbursement Obligations, as applicable, until written notice of transfer, signed by the Issuing Bank or such Lender (or the Person designated in the last notice filed with the Administrative Agent) and by the Person designated in such written notice of transfer, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any duty to examine or pass upon the validity, effectiveness, enforceability or genuineness of the Loan Documents or any instrument, document or communication furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine, have been signed or sent by the proper parties and are what they purport to be. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under the Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under the Loan Documents in accordance with a request or direction of the Required Lenders, and such request or direction and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Issuing Bank, all the Lenders and all future holders of the Notes and the Reimbursement Obligations. Section 10.5 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 unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice thereof from the Issuing Bank, a Lender or the Borrower. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders, provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, 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 to be in the best interests of the Lenders. Section 10.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders Each of the Issuing Bank and each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each of the Issuing Bank and each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate made its own evaluation of and investigation into the business, operations, Property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the value and Lien status of any collateral security and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of the Issuing Bank and each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, evaluations and decisions in taking or not taking action under any Loan Document, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, Property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the value and Lien status of any collateral security. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Issuing Bank and/or the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide the Issuing Bank or any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, Property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower which at any time may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. Section 10.7 Indemnification Each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata according to the aggregate of the outstanding principal balance of the Loans and any unpaid Reimbursement Obligations (or at any time when no Loans are outstanding and there are no unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, according to its Commitment Percentage), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever including, without limitation, any amounts paid to the Lenders (through the Administrative Agent) by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, that are subsequently rescinded or avoided, or must otherwise be restored or returned) which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans, the Notes and the Reimbursement Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other documents contemplated by or referred to therein or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting solely from the finally adjudicated gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its pro rata share of any unpaid fees owing to the Administrative Agent, and any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 11.5, to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not been paid such fees or has not been reimbursed for such costs and expenses, by the Borrower. The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its pro rata share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent as provided in this Section shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its pro rata share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of such other Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such other Lender's pro rata share of such amount. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments of all of the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Commitment, and the payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents. Section 10.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity BNY and its affiliates may make secured or unsecured loans to, accept deposits from, issue letters of credit for the account of, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower as though BNY were not Administrative Agent hereunder and BNY Capital Markets did not arrange the transactions contemplated hereby. With respect to the Commitments made or renewed by BNY and the Notes issued to, and the Reimbursement Obligations owing to, BNY, BNY shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall in each case include BNY. Section 10.9 Successor Administrative Agent If at any time the Administrative Agent deems it advisable, in its sole discretion, it may submit to the Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders a written notice of its resignation as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, such resignation to be effective upon the earlier of (i) the written acceptance of the duties of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by a successor Administrative Agent and (ii) on the 30th day after the date of such notice. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and accepted such appointment in writing within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof and having a combined capital, surplus, and undivided profits of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent's rights, powers, privileges and duties as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall be terminated. Each of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to effect such appointment. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of the Loan Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it, and any amounts owing to it, while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. If at any time there shall not be a duly appointed and acting Administrative Agent, the Borrower agrees to make each payment due under the Loan Documents directly to the Issuing Bank and the Lenders entitled thereto during such time. Section 10.10 Documentation Agents; Syndication Agents Neither the Documentation Agents nor the Syndication Agents shall have any duties or obligations under the Loan Documents in such capacities. Each Documentation Agent and each Syndication Agent in such capacities shall be entitled to the same protections, indemnities and rights, and subject to the same standards with respect to their actions, inactions and duties, as the Administrative Agent.

The Loan Documents may not be amended orally or by any course of conduct.

Section 11.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

(b) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to any increased cost or indemnity under Sections 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.10 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.10. Section 11.7 Assignments and Participations (a) The Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Notes and the Reimbursement Obligations, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign, delegate or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender. (b) Each Lender shall have the right at any time, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to do so, to sell, assign, transfer or negotiate all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to one or more of its affiliates, to one or more of the other Lenders (or to affiliates of such other Lenders) or, with the prior written consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld and, in the case of the Borrower, shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), to sell, assign, transfer or negotiate all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to any Eligible Assignee, provided that (i) each such sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation (other than sales, assignments, transfers or negotiations (x) to its affiliates or (y) of its entire interest) shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and whole multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) in the case of each Lender other than BNY, it shall pay a fee to the Administrative Agent in the amount of $3,500. For each assignment, the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and the recording thereof by the Administrative Agent, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, the assignor Lender thereunder shall be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents. The Borrower agrees upon written request of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower's expense to execute and deliver to such assignee, Notes, dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. Upon any such sale, assignment or other transfer, the Commitment Amounts set forth in Exhibit A shall be adjusted accordingly by the Administrative Agent and a new Exhibit A shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent. (c) Each Lender may grant participations in all or any part of its rights under the Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees, provided that (i) its obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) it shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to the Loan Documents for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as applicable, shall continue to deal solely and directly with it in connection with its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, (iv) no sub-participations shall be permitted and (v) the voting rights of any holder of any participation shall be limited to the matters described in Section 11.1(a). The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any such participant shall for purposes of Sections 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11, be deemed to be a "Lender"; provided, however, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to pay any participant in any interest of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder any sum in excess of the sum which the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, in respect of such interest had the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, not sold such participation. (d) If any (i) assignment is made pursuant to subsection (b) above or (ii) any participation is granted pursuant to subsection (c) above, to any Person that is not a U.S. Person, such Person shall furnish such certificates, documents or other evidence to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in the case of clause (i), and to the Borrower and the Issuing Bank or the Lender which sold such participation, as the case may be, in the case of clause (ii), as shall be required by Section 3.10(e). (e) No Lender shall, as between and among the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and such Lender, as the case may be, be relieved of any of its obligations under the Loan Documents as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of participations in, all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, except that it shall be relieved of its obligations to the extent of any such sale, assignment, transfer, or negotiation of all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to subsection (b) above. (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may at any time or from time to time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank, provided that any such assignment shall not release such assignor from its obligations thereunder. Section 11.8 Indemnity The Borrower agrees to defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, BNY Capital Markets, the Issuing Bank and each and all of the Lenders, each of their respective Affiliates and each of the respective officers, directors, employees and agents of each of the foregoing (each an "Indemnified Person" and, collectively, the "Indemnified Persons") from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to such Indemnified Persons in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal or state laws or other statutory regulations, including, without limitation, securities and commercial laws and regulations, under common law or at equitable cause, or on contract or otherwise, including any liabilities and costs under Environmental Laws, Federal, state or local health or safety laws, regulations, or common law principles, arising from or in connection with the past, present or future operations of the Borrower or its predecessors in interest, or the past, present or future environmental condition of the Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the presence of asbestos-containing materials at any such Property, or the release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substance into the environment from any such Property) in any manner relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any commitment letter or fee letter executed and delivered by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Issuing Bank and/or the Administrative Agent, the capitalization of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Commitments, the Letter of Credit Commitment, the making of, issuance of, management of and participation in the Revolving Credit Loans or the Letters of Credit, or the use or intended use of the Letters of Credit and the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation under this Section to an Indemnified Person with respect to any of the foregoing to the extent found in a final judgment of a court having jurisdiction to have resulted primarily out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or arising solely from claims between one such Indemnified Person and another such Indemnified Person. The indemnity set forth herein shall be in addition to any other obligations or liabilities of the Borrower to each Indemnified Person under the Loan Documents or at common law or otherwise, and shall survive any termination of the Loan Documents, the expiration of the Commitments of all of the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Commitment and the payment of all Indebtedness of the Borrower under the Loan Documents. Section 11.9 Limitation of Liability No claim may be made by the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, any Lender or other Person against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any directors, officers, employees, or agents of any of them for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by any Loan Document, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, any such Lender or other Person hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. Section 11.10 Counterparts Each Loan Document (other than the Notes) may be executed by one or more of the parties thereto on any number of separate counterparts and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same document. It shall not be necessary in making proof of any Loan Document to produce or account for more than one counterpart signed by the party to be charged. A counterpart of any Loan Document or to any document evidencing, and of any amendment, modification, consent or waiver to or of any Loan Document transmitted by telecopy shall be deemed to be an originally executed counterpart. A set of the copies of the Loan Documents signed by all the parties thereto shall be deposited with each of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent. Any party to a Loan Document may rely upon the signatures of any other party thereto which are transmitted by telecopy or other electronic means to the same extent as if originally signed. Section 11.11 Adjustments; Set-off (a) If any Lender (a "Benefited Lender"), shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of its Loans, its Notes or the Reimbursement Obligations in excess of its Outstanding Percentage of payments then due and payable on account of the Loans, the Notes and the Reimbursement Obligations received by all the Lenders, then such Benefited Lender shall forthwith purchase, without recourse, for cash, from the other Lenders such participations in their Loans and Notes as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share such excess payment with each of them according to their Outstanding Percentages, provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase from such other Lenders shall be rescinded, and each such other Lender shall repay to such Benefited Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such other Lender's pro rata share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from such Benefited Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by such Benefited Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that such Benefited Lender so purchasing a participation from such other Lenders pursuant to this subsection (a) may exercise such rights to payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as such Benefited Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the obligations owing in connection with the Loan Documents, or at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, under Sections 9.1(a) or (b), each of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, to set-off and apply against any indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured, of the Borrower to the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, any amount owing from the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, to the Borrower at, or at any time after, the happening of any of the above mentioned events. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, against the Borrower or against any trustee in bankruptcy, custodian, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Borrower or against anyone else claiming through or against the Borrower or such trustee in bankruptcy, custodian, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, prior to the making, filing or issuance, or service upon the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, of, or of notice of, any such petition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver, or issuance of execution, subpoena, order or warrant. Each of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and each Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. Section 11.12 Construction Each party to a Loan Document represents that it has been represented by counsel in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and that the principle that agreements are to be construed against the party drafting the same shall be inapplicable. Section 11.13 Governing Law The Loan Documents and the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, but including Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law.

The Borrower hereby agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court, after all appropriate appeals, shall be conclusive and binding upon it.
