Financing Commitments An executed commitment letter from Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank of America"), Banc of America Bridge LLC ("Banc of America Bridge") and Banc of America Securities LLC dated as of December 20, 2000 (the "Bank Commitment Letter"), is included in Section 2.2(c) of the Holdings Disclosure Schedule. Pursuant to the Bank Commitment Letter and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, (i) Bank of America has committed to provide senior debt financing to Merger Sub in the amount of $470,000,000, consisting of a $370,000,000 term loan and a $100,000,000 revolving credit facility and Banc of America Bridge has committed to purchase unsecured senior subordinated debt securities of the Company in the aggregate amount of $200,000,000. The Company has also received a copy of a commitment letter, a true and correct copy of which is included in Section 2.2(b) of the Holdings Disclosure Schedule (the "Vestar Commitment Letter"), dated December 20, 2000 from Vestar Capital Partners IV, L.P. ("Vestar") pursuant to which Vestar has committed, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, to purchase equity securities of Investors for an aggregate purchase price of $133,900,405. The Company has also received a copy of a commitment letter, a true and correct copy of which is included in Section 2.2(c) of the Holdings Disclosure Schedule (the "Marathon Fund Commitment Letter" and, together with the Bank Commitment Letter and the Vestar Commitment Letter, the "Commitment Letters" and the financing to be provided thereunder, the "Financing"), dated December 20, 2000 from Marathon Fund Limited Partnership IV ("Marathon") pursuant to which Marathon has committed, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, to purchase equity securities of Investors for an aggregate purchase price of $35,000,000. The obligations to fund the commitments under the Commitment Letters are not subject to any condition other than set forth in the Commitment Letters. Holdings and Merger Sub have no actual knowledge of any fact or occurrence existing on the date of this Agreement which in their good faith judgment would reasonably be expected to (i) make the material assumptions or statements set forth in the Bank Commitment Letter inaccurate, (ii) cause the Bank Commitment Letter to be ineffective or (iii) preclude in any material respect the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Bank Commitment Letter. As of the date hereof, the Commitment Letters are in full force and effect and have not been amended in any material respect. To the knowledge of Holdings and Merger Sub, assuming all of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth herein are true, the funds contemplated to be received pursuant to the Commitment Letters together with the roll over contributions to be made as set forth in the Management Equity Agreements and the Other Equity Agreements will be sufficient to consummate the Merger and to pay all related fees and expenses. The financing and other fees that are due and payable under the Commitment Letters have been paid in full. Holdings and Merger Sub believe that, upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Financing, (i) the Surviving Corporation will not be insolvent, (ii) the Surviving Corporation will not be left with unreasonably small capital, (iii) the Surviving Corporation will not have incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature and (iv) the capital of the Surviving Corporation will not be impaired.
Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments If the maturity date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the maturity date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.03(d)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.17. If, for any reason, such Cash Collateral is not provided or the reallocation does not occur, the Revolving Credit Lenders under the maturing tranche shall continue to be responsible for their participating interests in the Letters of Credit. Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) of the second preceding sentence, the occurrence of a maturity date with respect to a given tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Revolving Credit Lenders in any Letter of Credit issued before such maturity date. Commencing with the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed with the Lenders under the extended tranches.
Revolving Commitment Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrowers from time to time from the Effective Date until the Termination Date, or such earlier date as the Revolving Commitments shall have been terminated as provided herein for the purposes hereinafter set forth (provided, that, all Revolving Loans made prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall be made to Speedway Funding); provided, however, that (x) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans at any time shall not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount and (y) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans on the Effective Date shall not exceed $20,000,000 (which outstanding amount shall result only from borrowings of Revolving Loans the proceeds of which are used to finance the Offer (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and for fees and expenses related to the Merger); provided, further, (i) with regard to each Revolving Lender individually, such Lender’s share of outstanding Revolving Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount and (ii) with regard to the Revolving Lenders collectively, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Obligations shall not exceed ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000) (as such aggregate maximum amount may from time to time be increased pursuant to Section 2.6 or reduced as provided in Section 3.3). Revolving Loans may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Borrowers may request and may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided, however, that no more than six Eurodollar Loans shall be outstanding hereunder at any time with respect to Revolving Loans. For purposes hereof, Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans, even if they begin on the same date and have the same duration, although borrowings, extensions and conversions may, in accordance with the provisions hereof, be combined at the end of existing Interest Periods to constitute a new Eurodollar Loan with a single Interest Period.
Term Commitment Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, (i) the Fronting Bank severally agrees, to the extent, in each case, that the Administrative Agent has received corresponding payments from other Lenders pursuant to clause (ii) below, to make available to the Borrower up to seven (7) advances of term loans in Dollars ("Delayed-Draw Term Loans") from time to time from the Closing Date until the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date and (ii) each Lender severally agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to purchase from the Fronting Bank such Lender's Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitment Percentage of each such Delayed-Draw Term Loan advanced by the Fronting Bank; provided, however, that (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Delayed-Draw Term Loans shall not exceed SEVENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($75,000,000) (as such aggregate maximum amount may be reduced from time to time as provided in Section 3.4, the "Delayed-Draw Term Loan Committed Amount") and (ii) with regard to each Lender individually, such Lender shall not be required to purchase outstanding Delayed-Draw Term Loans in an aggregate amount exceeding such Lender's Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Committed Amount. Delayed-Draw Term Loans may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Borrower may request (subject to the terms of this Section 2.3); provided, however, that no more than ten (10) Eurodollar Loans which are Delayed-Draw Term Loans shall be outstanding hereunder at any time (it being understood that, for purposes hereof, Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans, even if they begin on the same date, although borrowings, extensions and conversions may, in accordance with the provisions hereof, be combined at the end of existing Interest Periods to constitute a new Eurodollar Loan with a single Interest Period). Amounts repaid or prepaid on the Delayed-Draw Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
Non-Funding Lenders The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Term Loan or any payment required by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such Term Loan, but neither any Other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Term Loan or make any other payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Debt Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lender” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Debt Document. At Borrower’s request, Agent or a person reasonably acceptable to Agent shall have the right with Agent’s consent and in Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from any Non-Funding Lender, and each Non-Funding Lender agrees that it shall, at Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent or such person, all of the Commitments and all of the outstanding Term Loans of that Non-Funding Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Term Loans held by such Non-Funding Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement (as defined below).
L/C Commitment (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue Letters of Credit upon the request and for the account of the Borrower (and for the benefit of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower) on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that no Issuing Lender shall issue any Letter of Credit if, (i) after giving effect to such issuance, (A) the L/C Exposure would exceed the L/C Commitment or (B) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero or (C) unless otherwise agreed to by such Issuing Lender, the L/C Exposure with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed such Issuing Lender’s Specified L/C Commitment or (ii) such Issuing Lender shall have received written notice from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 5.2 shall not have been satisfied.

Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (as it may be extended, so long as the Available Revolving Commitments of all Continuing Lenders would equal or exceed zero following such extension); provided, however, that any Letter of Credit, whether newly requested or an existing Letter of Credit that is extended or automatically renewed, may have an expiration date after the Revolving Termination Date (so long as such expiration date remains in compliance with clause (x) above) so long as the Borrower cash collateralizes such Letter of Credit at 101% of the available face amount of such Letter of Credit on or prior to the date which is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date and the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Lender providing such Letter of Credit agree to such expiration date at the time such Letter of Credit or extension is requested or at the time such existing Letter of Credit is to be automatically renewed, as applicable; provided further that any Letter of Credit (other than a Letter of Credit to which Section 2.18(c)(ii) applies) with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall only extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above if the condition described in the first proviso of this sentence is satisfied).
Revolving Loan Commitment Each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment agrees to make loans on a revolving basis (“Revolving Loans”) from time to time until the Termination Date in such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such aggregate amounts as the Company may request from all Lenders; provided that the Revolving Outstandings will not at any time exceed Revolving Loan Availability.
