(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing, or prior to the time of any required payment by such Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit Disbursement, that such Bank will not make available (which can only be refused if there exists an Event of Default identified by such Bank) to the Administrative Agent such Bank's share of such Borrowing or payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing or payment in accordance with subsection (b) or (c), as applicable, of this Section 2.04 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available by the Administrative Agent until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.07 or Section 2.15(g), as applicable, and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate. In the case of a Borrowing, if such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank's Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. Section 2.05. Notes. (a) The Loans of each Bank to the Borrower shall be evidenced by a single Note of the Borrower payable to the order of such Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office. (b) Upon receipt of each Bank's Note pursuant to Section 3.01(b), the Administrative Agent shall forward such Note to such Bank. Each Bank shall record the date, amount, Type and maturity of each Loan made by it to the Borrower and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto and may, in connection with any transfer of any of its Notes, endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan of the Borrower then outstanding; provided that (and the Borrower understands and agrees that) the failure of any Bank to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Each Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Note and to attach to and make a part of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required. Section 2.06. Interest Rate Elections. (a) The initial Type of Loans comprising each Borrowing, and the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto if they are initially LIBOR Loans, shall be as specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the Type of, or the duration of the Interest Period applicable to, the Loans (other than Swingline Loans) included in any Borrowing (excluding overdue Loans and subject in each case to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period and Article VIII), as follows: SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 30 (i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans (other than a Swingline Loan), the Borrower may elect to designate such Loans as LIBOR Loans, may elect to continue such Loans as Base Rate Loans or may elect to designate such Loans as any combination of Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans; and (ii) if such Loans are LIBOR Loans, the Borrower may elect to designate such Loans as Base Rate Loans, may elect to continue such Loans as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period, or may elect to designate such Loans as any combination of Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may not elect an Interest Period for LIBOR Loans unless the aggregate outstanding principal amount of each Bank's Applicable Percentage of the LIBOR Loans (including any such LIBOR Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01 on the date that such Interest Period is to begin) to which such Interest Period will apply is at least $500,000 or any larger multiple of $100,000 provided, however, at no time shall there be more than six (6) different Interest Periods outstanding. (b) Any election permitted by subsection (a) of this Section may become effective on any LIBOR Business Day specified by the Borrower (the "Election Date"); provided that, with respect to any outstanding LIBOR Loan, the Borrower may not specify an Election Date that is other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor. Each such election shall be made by the Borrower by delivering a notice (a "Notice of Interest Rate Election") to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on (x) the Election Date, if all the resulting Loans will be Base Rate Loans and (y) the date three (3) LIBOR Business Days before the Election Date, if the resulting Loans will include LIBOR Loans. Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify with respect to the outstanding Loans to which such notice applies: (i) the Election Date; (ii) if the Type of Loan is to be changed, the new Type of Loan and, if such new Type is a LIBOR Loan, the duration of the new Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) if such Loans are LIBOR Loans and the Type of such Loans is to be continued for an additional or different Interest Period, the duration of such additional or different Interest Period; and (iv) if such Loans are to be designated as a combination of Base Rate Loans, or LIBOR Loans, the information specified in clauses (i) through (iii) above as to each resulting Borrowing and the aggregate amount of each such Borrowing. Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period and the last sentence of subsection (a) of this Section. (c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank's share of such Borrowing and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the applicable Borrower. (d) If a Borrower (i) fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Election to the Administrative Agent electing to continue or change the Type of, or the duration of the Interest Period applicable to, the Loans included in any Borrowing as provided in this Section and (ii) has not theretofore delivered a notice of prepayment relating to such Loans, then such Borrower shall be deemed to have given the Administrative Agent a Notice of SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 31 Interest Rate Election electing to change the Type of such Loans to (or continue the Type thereof as) Base Rate Loans, commencing on the last day of the then current Interest Period. Section 2.07. Interest Rates. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due or is converted to a Loan of another Type, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin. Such interest shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first Domestic Business Day of each month and, with respect to the principal amount of any Base Rate Loan converted to a LIBOR Loan, on the date such Base Rate Loan is so converted. (b) Each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof. (c) Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day each Swingline Loan is outstanding, at such rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such day. Such interest shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first Domestic Business Day of each month. (d) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder pursuant to the terms hereof. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the applicable Borrower and the Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, all Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. Section 2.08. Fees. (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks based on their Applicable Percentage a commitment fee at the applicable per annum Commitment Fee Rate. Such commitment fee shall accrue from and including the Effective Date to, but excluding, the date on which the Commitments expire or terminate, on the daily average unused portion of the Total Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall determine the Commitment Fee Rate applicable from time to time hereunder. (b) Payments. Accrued fees under this Section shall be payable quarterly in arrears on (i) the third Domestic Business Day following the last day of March, June, September and December in each year, commencing on the first such date that occurs after the Effective Date and (ii) the date on which the Commitments expire or terminate. The Administrative Agent shall determine the amount of accrued fees payable hereunder on each payment date and notify the Borrower thereof. (c) For purposes of determining the applicable Commitment Fee payable to the Swingline Lender, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Swingline Loans shall be considered outstanding for purposes of the Borrower and the Swingline Lender, only. SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 32 Section 2.09. Voluntary Reduction or Termination of Commitments. (a) On December 24, 2003, or, if such day is not a Domestic Business Day, the next succeeding Domestic Business Day, the Borrower may, upon at least five Domestic Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Total Commitment at any time, or proportionately reduce from time to time each Bank's Commitment by an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, provided, however that any reduction in the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be expressly conditioned upon the Borrower demonstrating projected Borrowing Availability (acceptable to the Administrative Agent) for the next twelve (12) months of at least $35,000,000 and, on any date, the Total Commitment may not be reduced to less than an amount equal to the greater of: (i) the Swingline Limit and (ii) the Committed Exposure as of such date. (b) The Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date. Section 2.10. Maturity of Loans. The Loans shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon, on the Termination Date; provided that each Swingline Loan shall also be due and payable as set forth in Section 2.03. Section 2.11. Prepayments. (a) Voluntary Prepayments. Subject to Section 2.13, the Borrower may, upon at least one Domestic Business Day's notice (or, if such prepayment is made prior to noon, on the same day or in the case of a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, two LIBOR Business Days' notice) to the Administrative Agent, prepay any Borrowing of the Borrower in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $2,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks included in such Borrowing. (b) Mandatory Prepayments. (i) If at any time the Committed Exposure exceeds the Total Availability, the Borrower shall immediately upon notice from the Administrative Agent: (i) repay, by payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks, to be applied to the Loans, the amount of such excess, and/or (ii) furnish Collateral and/or repay the Swingline Loan and/or Letter of Credit Exposure, in an amount equal to such excess; (ii) The Borrower shall make a prepayment/repayment of the Loans in the amount of 100 % of Net Proceeds from the issuance of equity or debt to the extent that such equity or debt proceeds are not used to repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire the Seller Preferred, the Senior Notes, the Senior Secured Notes or the Borrower's 8.5% Junior Subordinated Debenture Due 2004 dated September 17, 2002 in the principal amount of $4,333,333.34; and (iii) The Borrower shall make a prepayment of the Loans in the amount of 100% of the Net Proceeds from the sale of assets permitted under Section 5.11(b). The mandatory repayments set forth in this Section 2.11 shall be applied first to reduce all outstanding principal, interest and fees on Swingline Loans, second to reduce all outstanding principal, interest and fees on other Loans and third to cash collateralize the principal amount and any fees of the Letter of Credit Exposure. SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 33 (c) Swingline Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of prepayment (which shall be a Domestic Business Day), prepay any Swingline Loan of the Borrower in whole at any time, or from time to time in part, by paying the Swingline Lender the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. (d) Notice of Prepayments. Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) of the contents thereof and of such Bank's ratable share of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower. (e) Control of Cash and Application to Obligations. Prepayment will also be made on the Loans as a result of the Administrative Agent's control of collections on Collateral as described in Section 2.16. Section 2.12. General Provisions as to Payments. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks. (b) Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on the LIBOR Loans shall be due on a day which is not a LIBOR Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding LIBOR Business Day, unless such LIBOR Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding LIBOR Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time. (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Bank or Borrower (the "Payor") prior to the date on which such Bank is to make payment to the Administrative Agent hereunder or Borrower is to make a payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of one or more of the Banks, as the case may be (such payment being herein called the "Required Payment"), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, (i) the recipient of such payment shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to it together with interest thereon in respect of the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such period and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to offset against any and all sums to be paid to such recipient, the amount calculated in accordance with the foregoing clause (i). Section 2.13. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan (pursuant to Article II or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 34 applicable thereto, or the end of any applicable period fixed pursuant to the terms hereto, or if the Borrower fails to borrow any LIBOR Loans after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.04(a) or to change or continue the Type of, or the duration of the Interest Period applicable to, any LIBOR Loans after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.06(c), the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within fifteen (15) days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan) including (without limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or failure to borrow; provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Section 2.14. Computation of Interest and Fees. All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Section 2.15. Letters of Credit. (a) The Borrower may request the issuance of letters of credit by JPMorgan Chase Bank, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, appropriately completed, for the account of the Borrower or one or more of its Subsidiaries, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Period; provided that any Letter of Credit shall be issued only if, and each request by the Borrower for the issuance of any Letter of Credit shall be deemed a representation and warranty of the Borrower that, immediately following the issuance of any such Letter of Credit the Committed Exposure shall not exceed the amount of Total Availability. (b) Each issuance of any Letter of Credit shall be made on such prior notice from the Borrower to JPMorgan Chase Bank as shall be acceptable to such Issuing Bank specifying the date of issuance, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall not be later than the earlier of (i) the date that is one Domestic Business Day prior to the Termination Date, and (ii) subject to renewal, the date one year after the date of such Letter of Credit, or, if such Letter of Credit is issued to a beneficiary outside the United States, the date that is five Domestic Business Days prior to the Termination Date), the amount and currency of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit is a documentary or stand-by Letter of Credit, the purpose of such Letter of Credit, and such other information as may be necessary or desirable to complete such Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank will give the Administrative Agent prompt notice of the issuance and amount of each Letter of Credit issued by it, the currency thereof and the expiration of such Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank will give the Administrative Agent and the Borrower daily notice of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it a quarterly summary indicating, on a daily basis during such quarter, the issuance of any Letter of Credit issued by it and the amount thereof, the expiration of any such Letter of Credit and any payment on drafts presented under such Letters of Credit. (c) Each Issuing Bank that issues a Letter of Credit, by the issuance of such Letter of Credit and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Bank or the Banks in respect thereof, hereby grants to each Bank, and each Bank hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Bank's Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Issuing Bank, in accordance with Section 2.04(b), such Bank's Applicable Percentage of each Letter of Credit Disbursement SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 35 made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower when due in accordance with subsection (f) of this Section; provided that the Banks shall not be obligated to make any such payment with respect to any wrongful Letter of Credit Disbursement made as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank. (d) Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to subsection (c) above in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any circumstance described in Section 2.03(d), any amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever (subject only to the proviso in subsection (c) above). (e) Upon each issuance of a Letter of Credit, Borrower agrees to pay the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee to the Banks, and a fronting fee to be determined by the Issuing Bank. Fees under this subsection shall be calculated by the applicable Issuing Bank and shall be payable quarterly in advance on the third Domestic Business Day following the last day of March, June, September and December in each year and on the Termination Date (or any earlier date on which the Commitments are terminated). The applicable Issuing Bank will notify the Borrower of the amount of accrued fees payable hereunder on each payment date. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay directly to each Issuing Bank, for its account, such Issuing Bank's customary processing and documentation fees in connection with the issuance or amendment of or payment on any Letter of Credit, payable within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor by such Issuing Bank. (f) If an Issuing Bank shall pay any draft presented under a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay directly to such Issuing Bank an amount equal to the amount of such draft before 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the day on which such Issuing Bank shall have notified the Borrower (as provided in subsection (j) below) that payment of such draft will be made; provided that, if the Borrower shall not have received notice of such draft before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date that payment of such draft is made, then such payment may be made by the Borrower to such Issuing Bank on the Domestic Business Day immediately following the date of receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment, together with interest (at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans at the time plus the rate determined by such Issuing Bank to be equal to the rate per annum at which deposits in the same currency as such draft are then being offered to such Issuing Bank in the London interbank market for a period of one month) on the amount of such draft from and including the date such draft was paid by such Issuing Bank to but excluding such next Domestic Business Day. If the Borrower shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it under this subsection when due, such unpaid amount shall bear interest, for each day from and including the due date to but excluding the date of payment, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to overdue Base Rate Loans. (g) The Borrower's obligation to reimburse Letter of Credit Disbursements as provided in subsection (f) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document; (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Bank or any other Person SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 36 in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction; (iii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, subject to subsection (i) below; and (v) any other act or omission or delay of any kind or any other circumstance or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing and whether or not foreseeable, that might, but for the provisions of this subsection (g), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower's obligations hereunder. (h) None of the Banks (including any Issuing Bank) nor the Administrative Agent nor any of their officers or directors or employees or agent shall be liable or responsible by reason of or in connection with (and the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Banks, the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent and their officers, directors, employees and agent from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, arising by reason of or in connection with) the execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit, including without limitation any of the circumstances enumerated in subsection (g) above, as well as (i) any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, (ii) any error in interpretation of technical terms, (iii) any loss or delay in the transmission of any document required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit, or (iv) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank, including, without limitation, any government acts, or any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Issuing Bank for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses, and the Borrower shall have a claim for direct (but not consequential) damage suffered by it, to the extent found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of an Issuing Bank in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit issued by it complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (y) an Issuing Bank's failure to pay under any Letter of Credit issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. Nothing in this subsection (h) is intended to limit the obligations of the Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement. To the extent the Borrower does not indemnify an Issuing Bank as required by this subsection, the Banks agree to do so in accordance with their Applicable Percentage. It is expressly understood and agreed that, for purposes of determining whether a wrongful payment under a Letter of Credit resulted from an Issuing Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct, such Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit (A) an Issuing Bank's exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any material respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 37 or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (B) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Issuing Bank. (i) Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Such Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by telex or telecopy, to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make a Letter of Credit Disbursement thereunder, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse any such Letter of Credit Disbursement in accordance with this Section. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Bank notice thereof. (j) If at any time the Committed Exposure exceeds the Total Availability, then the Borrower shall provide cash collateral in respect of the Letter of Credit Exposure as provided below in an amount equal to such excess; provided that, solely for purposes of determining whether the Borrower is in compliance with the foregoing requirements of this subsection (j), the Total Availability shall be increased by the amount of any cash collateral then held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection (j). In the event that the Borrower is required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to provide cash collateral in respect of the Letter of Credit Exposure, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Banks (including the Issuing Banks), an amount in cash equal to (x) in the case of a deposit required pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (j), the amount specified therein, or (y) in the case of a deposit required as a result of an Event of Default, the entire Letter of Credit Exposure. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (j), the Administrative Agent shall return such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) to the Borrower, from time to time, to the extent that doing so would not give rise to an obligation on the part of the Borrower to provide additional cash collateral pursuant to such sentence. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Domestic Business days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived, and if prior to such return the amount of the Letter of Credit Exposure is reduced, any excess of the amount deposited (to the extent not applied as aforesaid and disregarding interest or profits on investments) over the reduced amount of the Letter of Credit Exposure shall be returned to the Borrower promptly after such reduction gives rise to such excess. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Obligation payable by the Borrower hereunder is due and payable but remains unpaid at the time that the Administrative Agent would otherwise be required to return any amount of cash collateral to the Borrower hereunder, the Administrative Agent may retain such cash collateral and apply the amounts retained to the payment of such unpaid Obligation. Section 2.16. Application of Payments and Collateral. Notwithstanding anything in the Security Agreement to the contrary, at all times during this Agreement after February 1, 2003 the Borrower will instruct all customers and other Persons making payment on Accounts and other Collateral to make all payments thereon to a Lockbox Account. In the event the Borrower (or any Affiliate of the Borrower or any Person acting for or in concert with the Borrower) at any time during the term of this Agreement (both before and after February 1, 2003) shall receive any monies, checks, drafts or other similar negotiable items of payments made with respect to Accounts and other Collateral, the Borrower or such Persons shall receive the same in trust and shall promptly deposit the same into a Lockbox Account.

This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the obligations of the Borrower to the Agents and the Banks under this Agreement and the Notes are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated. (ii) The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Banks, without notice to or consent of the Borrower but acting only at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, (A) may make demand on, sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, or compromise or settle for cash, credit or otherwise upon such terms as shall be determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, any of the Accounts or any securities, instruments or insurance SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 59 applicable thereto and/or release the obligor thereon; and (B) is authorized and empowered to accept the return of the goods represented by any of the Accounts.

(d) If any of the Accounts include a charge for any tax payable to any governmental tax authority, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized (but in no event obligated) to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the Borrower's account and to charge Borrower's account therefor. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent if any Accounts include any tax due to any such taxing authority and, in the absence of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to retain the full proceeds of such Accounts and shall not be liable for any taxes that may be due from the Borrower by reason of the sale and delivery creating such Accounts.

JPMorgan Chase Bank and Fleet National Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (as applicable), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, Fleet National Bank and their respective affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not an Agent hereunder. Section 7.03. Action by Agent. The obligations of either Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents are only those expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Agent shall be required to take any action with respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article VI. Section 7.04. Consultation with Experts. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Section 7.05. Liability of Agent.

If a Bank makes any indemnification payment to an indemnified party pursuant to this Section and thereafter such party receives payment from the Borrower in respect of the same indemnified amount, such indemnified party shall reimburse such Bank to the extent of its ratable share of such payment received by such party. Section 7.07. Credit Decision.

Section 7.08. Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 15 days prior written notice thereof to the Banks, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent approved by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that no approval of the Borrower shall be necessary if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and, if required, approved by the Borrower and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.

The provisions of this Article VII shall inure to the benefit of any sub-agent of any Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender in the same manner and to the same extent as they inure to the benefit of the such Agent. SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 64 Section 7.11. Perfection by Possession and Control; Deposit Accounts. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby appoint each of the other Banks to serve as bailee to perfect Collateral Agent's Liens in any Collateral in the possession of any such other Bank. Each Bank possessing any Collateral agrees to so act as bailee for the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. In furtherance of the forgoing, each Bank acknowledges that the Borrower and certain of the Guarantors maintain deposit accounts at one or more of the Banks (all such accounts the "Loan Party Accounts"). Each Bank agrees to hold its Loan Party Accounts as bailee for the Collateral Agent to perfect the Collateral Agent's Liens in the proceeds of Collateral held therein. Each Bank who holds a Lockbox Account agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent on a daily basis by automated clearinghouse debit for credit to the Concentration Account or by wire transfer all collected funds on deposit in its Lockbox Accounts. The Administrative Agent shall be the only party entitled to make withdrawals from or otherwise give any direction with respect to the Lockbox Accounts. Prior to the receipt by a Bank of a written notice of an Event of Default from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Guarantors are entitled to make withdrawals from the Loan Party Accounts which are not Lockbox Accounts and make deposits into all the Loan Party Accounts. When a Bank has received a written notice of an Event of Default from the Administrative Agent, (a) the Administrative Agent shall be the only party entitled to make withdrawals from or otherwise give any direction with respect to the Loan Party Accounts, and (b) each Bank shall transfer, in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent, the amount of the collected funds credited to the Loan Party Accounts it holds (to the extent not already doing so with respect to Lockbox Accounts) and deliver to the Administrative Agent all moneys or instruments relating thereto or held therein and any other Collateral at any time the Administrative Agent demands payment or delivery thereof by such written notice to such Bank. The Borrower and each Guarantor agrees that each Bank is authorized to immediately deliver all the Collateral to the Administrative Agent upon the Bank's receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent. No Bank (other than the Administrative Agent acting for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall exercise any right of set-off or banker's lien against any Loan Party Account for any obligations other than the Obligations; provided that a Bank shall be entitled to charge, or set-off against a Loan Party Account and retain for its own account, any customary fees, costs, charges and expenses owed to it in connection with the opening, operating and maintaining such Loan Party Account and for the amount of any item credited to such Loan Party Account that is subsequently returned for any reason. Section 7.12. Powers and Immunities of Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender. Neither the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender nor any of their respective Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them hereunder or otherwise in connection with any Loan Document except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, neither the Issuing Bank nor the Swingline Lender: (i) shall have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of any Loan Document be a trustee or fiduciary for any Bank or for either Agent, (ii) shall be required to initiate any litigation or collection proceedings under any Loan Document, (iii) shall be responsible to any Bank or either Agent for any recitals, statements, representations, or warranties contained in any Loan Document, or any certificate or other documentation referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, any Loan Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, enforceability, or sufficiency of any Loan Document or any other documentation referred to or provided for therein or for any failure by any Person to perform any of its obligations thereunder, (iv) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants, or experts, and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate, or other instrument or writing believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. As to any matters not SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 65 expressly provided for by any Loan Document, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Banks, and such instructions of the Required Banks and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on the Agents and all of the other Banks; provided, however, that neither the Issuing Bank nor the Swingline Lender shall be required to take any action which exposes it to personal liability or which is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law. ARTICLE VIII. Change in Circumstances ----------------------- Section 8.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Borrowing Required Banks advise the Administrative Agent that the LIBOR Rate, as determined by the Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding their LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Banks to make LIBOR Loans or to convert outstanding Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, (ii) each outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, and (iii) unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least two Domestic Business Days before the date of any LIBOR Rate Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing. Section 8.02. Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its LIBOR Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its LIBOR Loans and such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make LIBOR Loans to the Borrower shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different LIBOR Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding LIBOR Loans to the Borrower to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Loan, together with accrued interest thereon. Concurrently with prepaying each such LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall borrow a Base Rate Loan in an equal principal amount from such Bank (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related LIBOR Loans of the other Banks), and such Bank shall make such a Base Rate Loan. Section 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If on or after the date hereof, in the case of any Loan or any obligation to make Loans, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 66 authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting its LIBOR Loans or Letters of Credit or its obligation to make such LIBOR Loans or issue Letters of Credit and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan to the Borrower or issuing or maintaining any letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Notes with respect thereto, by an amount reasonably deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank setting forth the circumstances giving rise to such demand and a calculation of the amount or amounts demanded (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction. (b) If any Bank shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank's obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction. (c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. (d) Failure or delay on the part of a Bank or an Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank's or such Issuing Bank's, as the case may be, right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reduced returns incurred more than 270 days prior to the date such Bank notifies the Borrower thereof and of such Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the change in law or in the application of law giving rise to such increased costs or reduced returns is retroactive, than the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 67 (e) The provisions of this Section also shall inure to the benefit of each Issuing Bank in its capacity as such. Section 8.04. Taxes. (a) For purposes of this Section 8.04(a), the following terms have the following meanings: "Taxes" means any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings with respect to any payment by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or under any Note, and all liabilities with respect thereto, including any taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings with respect to any payment by the Borrower that would not have been imposed on a payment by the Borrower, but excluding (i) in the case of each Bank and each Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by a jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or Agent (as the case may be), is organized or in which its principal executive office is located or, in the case of each Bank, in which its Applicable Lending Office is located, (ii) in the case of each Bank and each Agent, taxes imposed solely by reason of such Bank or Agent (as the case may be) doing business in the jurisdiction imposing such tax, other than as a result of this Agreement or any Note or any transaction contemplated hereby (including the negotiation of any of the foregoing) and (iii) in the case of each Bank, any withholding tax imposed on such payments but only at a rate equal to the United States withholding tax that such Bank is (or would be) subject to on such payments by the Borrower at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement. "Other Taxes" means any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or similar charges or levies, which arise from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement or under any Notes or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note. (b) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Bank or either Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made without deduction for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from any such payments, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Bank or Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and each Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Bank or the applicable Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be paid within 15 days after such Bank or Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor. After any Bank or Agent (as the case may be) learns of the imposition of Taxes or Other Taxes, such Bank or Agent (as the case may be) will act in good faith promptly to notify the relevant Borrower of its obligations hereunder. SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 68 (d) Each Foreign Bank, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the appropriate form or forms (including any forms required to replace forms previously provided because of a change in a Bank's place of organization, principal office or Applicable Lending Office, or in the event that any forms are no longer valid because of their expiration or a change in law or regulations, other appropriate evidence of exemption or reduction as reasonably requested by the Borrower), certifying that such Bank is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which exempts the Bank from withholding tax imposed by the United States or reduces the rate of withholding tax (if any) on payments of interest for the account of such Bank or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is otherwise not subject to such withholding tax. (e) For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Borrower or the Administrative Agent with the appropriate form as required by Section 8.04(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which such form originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.04(b) or (c) with respect to the withholding taxes that would not have been imposed if such form had been provided; provided that if a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes. (f) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section, then such Bank will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) in the judgment of such Bank, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. (g) If a Bank or an Agent shall receive a refund (including any offset or credit) from a taxation authority (as a result of any error in the imposition of Taxes or Other Taxes by such taxation authority) of any Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.04(b) or (c), such Bank or Agent (as the case may be) shall promptly pay to the Borrower the amount so received, with interest received from the taxation authority with respect to such refund. Section 8.05. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected LIBOR Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make LIBOR Loans to the Borrower has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation from the Borrower under Section 8.03 or 8.04 with respect to its LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, by at least five LIBOR Business Days' prior notice to such Bank through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer apply: (a) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as LIBOR Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related LIBOR Loans of the other Banks), and (b) after each of its LIBOR Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such LIBOR Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead. SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 69 Section 8.06. Substitution of Bank. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make or maintain LIBOR Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or is receiving increased payments or indemnification payments under Section 8.04, the Borrower shall have the right to seek a bank or banks ("Substitute Banks"), which may be one or more of the Banks or one or more other banks satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to purchase all (but not less than all) the Notes and the participations in the Letter of Credit Exposure and Swingline Loans of such Bank (the "Affected Bank") and, if the Borrower locates a Substitute Bank, the Affected Bank shall, upon payment to it of the purchase price agreed between it and the Substitute Bank (or, failing such agreement, a purchase price in the amount of the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon to the date of payment plus the Affected Bank's Applicable Percentage of all unreimbursed Letter of Credit Disbursements) plus any amount (other than principal and interest) then due to it or accrued for its account hereunder, assign all its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes to the Substitute Bank, and the Substitute Bank shall assume such rights and obligations, whereupon the Substitute Bank shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank. Any assignment by an Affected Bank pursuant to this Section shall be treated as a prepayment of the Affected Bank's LIBOR Loans for purposes of Section 2.12. ARTICLE IX.. Miscellaneous ------------- Section 9.01. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party: (x) in the case of the Borrower, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or either Agent, at its address or its telecopy number set forth on the signature pages hereof, (y) in the case of any Bank, at its address or its telecopy number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire, or (z) in the case of any party, such other address or other telecopy or telex number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telecopy, when such telecopy is transmitted to the telecopy number specified in this Section and the appropriate confirmation of receipt or answerback is received, (ii) if given by mail, 72 hours after such communication is deposited in the mails with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid or (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in this Section; provided that notices to the Administrative Agent under Article II or Article VIII shall not be effective until received. Section 9.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. Section 9.03. Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Subject to the limitations in Section 5.06 with respect to the obligations to pay for field examinations and inventory appraisals, the Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and (in the case of expenses relating to any Letter of Credit) each Issuing Bank, including reasonable fees and disbursements of special counsel for each Agent in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any waiver or consent hereunder or thereunder or any amendment hereof or thereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder; any fees and expenses incurred in SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 70 connection with field examinations of the Collateral (if payment is required by the Borrower) and inventory appraisals; provided that when no Default exists, neither Agent shall incur more than $10,000 in fees or expenses (relating to a single expense or a series of expenses) without prior written consent from the Borrower, provided further that the forgoing limitation does not apply to (A) reasonable fees and expenses of each Agent's legal counsel or (B) any other expenditure which has been previously approved by the Borrower, and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by either Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Bank, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom. (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Bank, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agent and employees of the foregoing (each an "Indemnitee") and hold each such Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind (including any of the foregoing with respect to Environmental Laws applicable to the Borrower or any Subsidiary), including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be actually incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Section 9.04. Setoffs. (a) Subject to the obligations under Section 7.11, each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its claims in respect of Letter of Credit Disbursements and principal and interest due with respect to any Note held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate amount of claims in respect of Letter of Credit Disbursements and principal and interest due with respect to any Note held by such other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the claims in respect of Letter of Credit Disbursements and Notes held by the other Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of claims in respect of Letter of Credit Disbursements and of principal and interest with respect to the Notes held by the Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro rata. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a claim in respect of a Letter of Credit Disbursement or in a Note, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Banks provided by law but subject to the obligations under Section 7.11, each Bank shall have the right, without prior notice the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any such notice being expressly waived to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) or under any of the other Loan Documents, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Bank or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 71 any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and whether or not such Bank is otherwise fully secured. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Agents after any such setoff and application made by such Bank, provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO DIRECT THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY THE BANKS OF THEIR RIGHT OF SET-OFF UNDER THIS SECTION ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. Section 9.05. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by, or approved in writing by, the Borrower and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by, or approved in writing by, all the Banks affected thereby (i) increase or decrease the Total Commitment from that in effect on the Closing Date or the Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks) or subject any Bank to any additional obligation, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate or amount of interest on any Loan or any claim for reimbursement of a Letter of Credit Disbursement or any fees hereunder, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal (but not a mandatory prepayment) of or interest on any Loan or for any reimbursement of a Letter of Credit Disbursement or for payment of any fees hereunder or for any reduction or termination of any Commitment, (iv) change the respective Applicable Commitments or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, (v) change the ratable treatment of the Banks under any provision of this Agreement that provides for such ratable treatment, (vi) release any Guarantor that is a Material Subsidiary from its Guarantee under the Guarantee Agreements, (vii) increase the advance rates under the Borrowing Base in excess of the advance rates in effect on the Effective Date, (viii) direct the Collateral Agent to release any portion of the Collateral greater than five percent (5%) of the aggregate amount of the Collateral or (ix) release or discharge any of the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents. If the Borrower is successful in raising additional equity, the Net Proceeds contributed to the Borrower in connection therewith equals or exceeds $50,000,000, no Default exists and the Borrower requests amendments to the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement in connection with such additional equity contribution in light of the improved financial position of the Borrower as a result thereof, the Agents and the Banks agree that they will not charge an amendment fee in connection with any resulting amendment entered into in connection therewith. The forgoing sentence shall not obligate either Agent or any of the Banks to enter into any such amendment. Section 9.06. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Bank (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 72 the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Banks) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Bank may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of: (A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Bank, an affiliate of a Bank, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under clauses (a), (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and (B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Bank with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment. (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank's Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under clauses (a), (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 has occurred and is continuing; (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement; (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and (D) the assignee, if it is not a Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. For the purposes of this Section 9.06(b), the term "Approved Fund" means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Bank, (b) an affiliate of such Bank or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Bank. (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 73 Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 8.03 and 8.04). Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.06 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and Letter of Credit Disbursements owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Bank and an assignee, the assignee's completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Bank hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. (c) (i) Any Bank may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Bank's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.05 that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of clauses (a), (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.04(b) as though it were a Bank, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.04(a) as though it were a Bank. (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 8.03 or 8.04 than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Bank if it were a Bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.04 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 8.04 as though it were a Bank. SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 74 (d) Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto. Section 9.07. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement, each Note and each other Loan Document shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (other than those conflict of law provisions that would defer to the substantive laws of another jurisdiction). Without in any way limiting the preceding choice of law, the parties elect to be governed by New York law in accordance with, and are relying (at least in part) on, Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York. The Borrower hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Section 9.08. Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts and on telecopy counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including, without limitation, the Original Credit Agreement. Section 9.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. Section 9.10. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agent, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential) for purposes of evaluating Loans, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent otherwise required by applicable laws and regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent any Issuing Bank or any Bank on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary. For the purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information received in writing from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or their businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Bank on a SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 75 nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of non-financial information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Section 9.11. Replacement Note. Upon receipt of an appropriate and reasonably acceptable affidavit of an officer of the affected Bank as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note or of any other Loan Document which is not of public record and, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other Loan Document, the Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other Loan Document in the same principal amount (as to any Note) and in any event of like tenor. Section 9.12. Usury. All agreements between the Borrower (on the one hand) and the Administrative Agent or any of the Banks (on the other hand) relating to the Financing Transactions are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the Notes or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid for the use or the forbearance of the Indebtedness represented by any Note exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law. In this regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the intent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks, in the execution, delivery and acceptance of the Notes, to contract in strict compliance with the laws of the State of New York. If, under any circumstances whatsoever, performance or fulfillment of any provision of any of the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents at the time such provision is to be performed or fulfilled shall involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation so to be performed or fulfilled shall be reduced automatically to the limits of such validity, and if under any circumstances whatsoever the Administrative Agent or any Bank should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced by the Notes and not to the payment of interest. The provisions of this Section 9.12 shall control every other provision of this Agreement and of each Note. Section 9.13. Independence of Covenants. All covenants under the Loan Documents shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default if such action is taken. Section 9.14. Replacement/Restatement of Original Credit Agreement; Contribution; Intercompany Subordination. (a) Amendment, Restatement and Ratification. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Original Credit Agreement. The execution of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith does not extinguish the indebtedness outstanding in connection with the Original Credit Agreement nor does it constitute a novation with respect to such indebtedness. The Borrower, the Agents and the Banks ratify and confirm each of the Loan Documents entered into prior to the Effective Date (but excluding the Original Credit Agreement) and agree that such Loan Documents continue to be legal, valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. However, for all matters arising prior to the Effective Date (including, without limitation, the accrual and payment of interest and fees, and matters relating to indemnification), the terms of the Original Credit Agreement (as unmodified by this Agreement) shall control and are hereby ratified and confirmed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything in any SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 76 Loan Document to the contrary, the Borrower, the Agents and the Banks agree and acknowledge that: (i) the term "Credit Agreement" as used in each Loan Document means this Agreement and any reference in any description of the Original Agreement to the Agent shall mean both Agents; (ii) the term "Administrative Agent" as used in the Security Agreement means Fleet National Bank, as Collateral Agent; (iii) the term "Agent", as used in the definition of the term "Borrower Obligations" that is contained in the Security Agreement, means either or both Agents; (iv) the term "Lender", as used in the Security Agreement, includes the Administrative Agent; (v) Any reference to FFI International, Inc. in any Loan Document means Elizabeth Arden International Holding, Inc. (formerly FFI International, Inc.) and (vi) the term "Agent" as used in the following places in the Guarantee Agreement: (a) the first sentence of clause (a) of Section 1 means both Agents; (b) the second sentence of clause (a) of Section 1 and the first and second usage in the first sentence of Section 6 means the Administrative Agent; (c) the first usage in the first sentence of clause (b) of Section 1 means the Collateral Agent; (d) the second usage in the first sentence of clause (b) of Section 1 means either Agent; (e) all other usages means either or both Agents as the context requires; (vii) references to any specific section or article of the Uniform Commercial Code in any Loan Document shall mean a reference to the corresponding section of the Uniform Commercial Code as amended; and (viii) The term "Obligations" as defined in the Guarantee Agreement and the term "Borrower Obligations" as defined in the Security Agreement include, without limitation, all obligations, indebtedness, and liability of the Borrower to the Agents and the Banks, or any one of them, arising under this Agreement and the Notes executed pursuant hereto. (b) Release. THE BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT AS OF THE DATE HEREOF THERE ARE NO CLAIMS OR OFFSETS AGAINST, OR DEFENSES OR COUNTERCLAIMS TO, ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE ORIGINAL CREDIT AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED AND RESTATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, or under THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. TO INDUCE THE AGENTS AND THE BANKS TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER AND (by its execution of this Agreement below) EACH GUARANTOR WAIVES ANY AND ALL SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 77 SUCH CLAIMS, OFFSETS, DEFENSES, OR COUNTERCLAIMS, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, ARISING PRIOR TO THE DATE HEREOF AND RELATING TO THE ORIGINAL CREDIT AGREEMENT OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. (c) Contribution. The Borrower and the Guarantors, together desire to allocate among themselves (the "Contributing Obligors"), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under the Loan Documents. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made by the Borrower or a Guarantor under the Loan Documents (a "Funding Obligor") that exceeds its Fair Share (as defined below), that Funding Obligor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Obligors in the amount of such other Contributing Obligor's Fair Share Shortfall (as defined below), with the result that all such contributions will cause each Contributing Obligor's Aggregate Payments (as defined below) to equal its Fair Share. "Fair Share" means, with respect to a Contributing Obligor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of (x) the Adjusted Maximum Amount (as defined below) with respect to such Contributing Obligor to (y) the aggregate of the Adjusted Maximum Amounts with respect to all Contributing Obligors, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Obligors under this Agreement in respect of the Obligations. "Fair Share Shortfall" means, with respect to a Contributing Obligor as of any date of determination, the excess, if any, of the Fair Share of such Contributing Obligor over the Aggregate Payments of such Contributing Obligor. "Adjusted Maximum Amount" means, with respect to a Contributing Obligor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Obligor under the Loan Documents to which it is a party determined in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the "Adjusted Maximum Amount" with respect to any Contributing Obligor for purposes of this Section 9.14(c), the assets or liabilities arising by virtue of any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Obligor. "Aggregate Payments" means, with respect to a Contributing Obligor as of any date of determination, the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Obligor in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, in respect of this Section 9.14(c). The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Obligor. The allocation among Contributing Obligors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 9.14(c) shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Obligor under any Loan Document. In the event a payment is made by Borrower or a Guarantor in excess of its Fair Share, then such party shall be subrogated to the rights then held by Agents and the Banks with respect to the Obligations to the extent to which the Obligations were discharged by such party and, in addition, upon payment by such party of any sums to an Agent or any Bank in excess of its Fair Share, all rights of such party against Borrower or the other Guarantors or against any Collateral arising as a result therefrom by way of right of subrogation, reimbursement, or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations. By becoming a party to the Guarantee Agreement, each Subsidiary who becomes a Guarantor after the date hereof shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.14(c) and Section 9.14(d). (d) Intercompany Subordination. Borrower and each Guarantor agrees that the Intercompany Subordinated Indebtedness (as defined below) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Obligated Party Obligations (as defined below) as herein provided. The Intercompany Subordinated Indebtedness shall not be payable, and no payment of principal, interest or other amounts on account thereof, and no property or guarantee of any nature to secure or pay the Intercompany Subordinated Indebtedness shall be made or given, directly or indirectly by or on behalf of any Subordination Party (hereafter defined) or received, accepted, retained or SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 78 applied by any Guarantor unless and until the Obligated Party Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash; except that prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Default, a Guarantor shall have the right to receive, accept, retain and apply payments on the Intercompany Subordinated Indebtedness made in the ordinary course of business. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, no payments may be made or given, directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of any Subordination Party or received, accepted, retained or applied by any Guarantor unless and until the Obligated Party Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If any sums shall be paid to a Guarantor by any Subordination Party or any other Person on account of the Intercompany Subordinated Indebtedness when such payment is not permitted hereunder, such sums shall be held in trust by such party for the benefit of the Agents and the Banks and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent without affecting the liability of any Guarantor under the Loan Documents and may be applied by the Administrative Agent against the Obligated Party Obligations in accordance with this Agreement as if such payments were Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Guarantor shall execute, deliver, and endorse to the Administrative Agent such documentation as the Administrative Agent may request to perfect, preserve, and enforce its rights hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Intercompany Subordinated Indebtedness" means, with respect to each Guarantor, all indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations of any other Guarantor and of Borrower (herein a "Subordination Party") to such Guarantor, whether such indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or are direct, indirect, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such indebtedness, liabilities, or obligations are evidenced by a note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such indebtedness, obligations, or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by such party. The term "Obligated Party Obligations" means, with respect to any Subordination Party, all obligations, indebtedness and liability of such Subordination Party to the Agents and the Banks or any one of them under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any and all post-petition interest and expenses whether or not allowed under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law). Each Guarantor agrees that any and all Liens (including any judgment liens) upon any Subordination Party's assets securing payment of any Intercompany Subordinated Indebtedness shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any and all Liens upon any Subordination Party's assets securing payment of the Obligated Party Obligations or any part thereof, regardless of whether such Liens in favor of a Guarantor, an Agent or any Bank presently exist or are hereafter created or attached. Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no Guarantor shall (i) file suit against any Subordination Party or exercise or enforce any other creditor's right it may have against any Subordination Party, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester, or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor's relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any obligations of any Subordination Party to such party or any Liens held by such party on assets of any Subordination Party. In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, rearrangement, debtor's relief, or other insolvency proceeding involving any Subordination Party as debtor, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to prove and vote any claim under the Intercompany Subordinated Indebtedness and to receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian all dividends, distributions, and payments made in respect of the Intercompany SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 79 Subordinated Indebtedness until the Obligated Party Obligations have been paid in full in cash. The Administrative Agent may apply any such dividends, distributions, and other payments against the Obligated Party Obligations in accordance with this Agreement as if such payments were Collateral. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written. ELIZABETH ARDEN, INC.
