applied first to the installments of principal due under the Term A Loan
ratably, to be applied to future installment payments in inverse order

outstanding principal due under the Term B Loan ratably until paid in full.
Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments
shall be applied to Eurocurrency Rate Loans in direct order of Interest
Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section 2.05(b) shall be

the date of prepayment. Application of repayments of the Obligations after

will be applied to prepay such Eurocurrency Rate Loans; any interest earned
on such Cash Equivalents will be for the account of the Borrowers and the

interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be
specified herein; provided, however, that interest due and payable pursuant to
clause (a) above shall be paid by Borrowers when due by adding such amounts to
the then outstanding principal balance of the applicable Term Loan and interest
will accrue on such capitalized interest at the applicable interest rates set
forth herein. The aggregate amount of capitalized interest (together with
interest thereon) shall be due and payable in full in one lump sum on the
earliest to occur of the following events: (i) the Maturity Date, or (ii) the
date that the Obligations hereunder are otherwise paid in full and the Loan
Documents are terminated, or (iii) the acceleration of all of the Obligations.
Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof
before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
2.09 Fees.
The Borrowers shall pay to the Term A Lenders for their own respective
accounts, an amendment fee in the amount of $400,000, which fee shall be paid on
the Closing Date by adding the amount thereof to the outstanding principal
balance of the Term A Loan. Accordingly, Borrowers agree and acknowledge that,
on the Closing Date and after giving effect to the payment of the Amendment Fee,
the outstanding aggregate principal balance of the Term A Loan is $15,400,000.
Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any
reason whatsoever. All Fees payable hereunder or pursuant to any Loan Document
or the Fee Letter (as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement) shall be payable
in Dollars.
2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees.
All computations of interest for Loans and all other computations of fees
and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days
elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is
made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on
which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on
the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear
interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an
interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.
2.11 Evidence of Debt.
The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or
records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the
ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error
of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest
and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall
not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers
hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event
of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and
the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters,
the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrowers made
through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to
such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a promissory note, which shall
evidence such Lender's Loans to the Borrowers in addition to such accounts or
records. Each such promissory note shall be in the form of Exhibit 2.11(a) (a
"Note"). Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the
date, amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect
thereto.
29
2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent's Clawback.
(a) Reserved
(b) Loan Account. To the extent any payment is not made, Borrowers hereby
authorize Administrative Agent, from time to time, without prior notice to
Borrowers, to charge all interest and fees (when due and payable), all expenses
(as and when incurred), all charges, commissions, fees, and costs provided for
in Section 2.18(e) (as and when accrued or incurred), all fees and costs
provided for in Section 2.09 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other
payments as and when due and payable under any Loan Document (including the
amounts due and payable with respect to the Term Loan) to Borrowers' Loan
Account, which amounts shall be added to the then outstanding principal balance
of the Term Loan and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Term
Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(c) Reserved
(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders
hereunder to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not
joint. The failure of any Lender to fund any such participation or to make any
payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve
any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its
Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section
11.04(c).
(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender
to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to
constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain
the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.
If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
the Loans made by it, resulting in such Lender's receiving payment of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued
interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein,
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Loans, or make such other adjustments as shall be
equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them,
provided that:
(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and
all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to
(x) any payment made by Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the
express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of
its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any
Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall
apply).
30
Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such
Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the
amount of such participation.
2.14 Appointment of Borrower Representative.
(a) The Borrowers maintain an integrated cash management system reflecting
their interdependence on one another and the mutual benefits shared among them
as a result of their respective operations. In order to efficiently fund and
operate their respective businesses and minimize the number of borrowings which
they will make under this Agreement and thereby reduce the administrative costs
and record keeping required in connection therewith, including the necessity to
enter into and maintain separately identified and monitored borrowing
facilities, the Borrowers have requested, and the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders have agreed that, subject to Section 11.18 hereof, all Loans will be
advanced to and for the account of the Borrowers on a joint and several basis
pursuant to the wire transfer instructions specified herein Borrower
Representative. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that it will be receiving a
direct benefit from the Term Loan made pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Each Borrower hereby designates, appoints, authorizes and empowers TRM
as the "Borrower Representative" for all purposes under this Agreement, as its
agent to act as specified in this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents
and the Borrower Representative hereby acknowledges such designation,
authorization and empowerment, and accepts such appointment. Each Borrower
hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Borrower Representative to take
such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, and any other instruments, documents and agreements referred to
herein or therein, and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties
hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the
Borrower Representative by the respective terms and provisions hereof and
thereof, and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including,
without limitation, to take the following actions for and on such Borrower's
behalf:
(i) to submit on behalf of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan Notices of
Continuations to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement;
(ii) to receive on behalf of each Borrower the proceeds of the Loans
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such proceeds to be
disbursed to or for the account of the applicable Borrower as soon as
practicable after its receipt thereof; and
(iii) to submit on behalf of each Borrower, Compliance Certificates,
Excess Cash Flow Certificates and all other certificates, notices and other
communications given or required to be given hereunder.
The Borrower Representative is further authorized and directed by each
Borrower to take all such actions on behalf of such Borrower necessary to
exercise the specific power granted in clauses (i) through (iii) above and to
perform such other duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and
deliver such documents as delegated to or required of the Borrower
Representative by the terms hereof or thereof. The administration by the
Administrative Agent and Lenders of the credit facility under this Agreement as
a co-borrowing facility with a borrower agent or representative in the manner
set forth herein is solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers and at their
request and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any
liability to any Borrowers or the Borrower Representative as a result thereof.
(c) If and to the extent the Borrower Representative is a party to any
merger, consolidation or other transaction permitted under this Agreement such
that the Borrower Representative is not the
31
surviving entity, the Borrowers shall appoint a replacement Borrower
Representative from among the remaining Borrowers, such replacement Borrower
Representative to be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. Nothing in
this subsection 2.14(c) shall constitute Administrative Agent's or any Lender's
consent to, or waiver of any Event of Default arising from, any merger,
consolidation or other transaction involving the Borrower Representative that
violates any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
2.15 Crediting Payments.
The receipt of any payment item by Administrative Agent shall not be
considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of
immediately available federal funds made to the Administrative Agent's Account
or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment.
Should any such payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then
Borrowers shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be
calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein
notwithstanding, any such payment item shall be deemed received by
Administrative Agent only if it is received into the Administrative Agent's
Account on a Business Day on or before 2:00 p.m. If any payment item is received
into the Administrative Agent's Account on a non-Business Day or after 2:00 p.m.
on a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have been received by Administrative
Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.
All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or
deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. The
Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable
Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in
like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender's Lending Office. Subject
to the definition of "Interest Period", if any payment to be made by a Borrower
shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the
next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in
computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
2.16 Reserved.
2.17 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations.
Administrative Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of
Borrowers (the "Loan Account") on which Borrowers will be charged with the Term
Loan and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents, including, accrued interest, fees and expenses. In accordance with
Section 2.15, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by
Administrative Agent from Borrowers or for Borrowers' account. Administrative
Agent shall render statements regarding the Loan Account to Borrower
Representative, including principal, interest, fees, and including an
itemization of all charges and expenses owing, and such statements, absent
manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and
constitute an account stated between Borrowers and the Lender Group unless,
within 30 days after receipt thereof by Borrower Representative, Borrower
Representative shall deliver to Administrative Agent written objection thereto
describing the error or errors contained in any such statements.
ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of the respective Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall be made free and clear of and
32
without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes,
provided that if the applicable Loan Party shall be required by applicable law
to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments,
then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan
Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the
provisions of subsection (a) above, each Loan Party shall timely pay any Other
Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. Each Loan Party shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent, each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for
the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any
penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Loan
Party by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority,
such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a
certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption
from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which
a Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In
addition, any Lender, if requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable
such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such
Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Lender shall
deliver to a Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as
shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but
only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the
following is applicable:
(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
United States is a party,
33
(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the
exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a
certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a "bank"
within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a "10 percent
shareholder" of the applicable Borrower within the meaning of section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation"
described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies
of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or
(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for
claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding
tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit such Borrower to determine the
withholding or deduction required to be made.
Without limiting the obligations of the Lenders set forth above regarding
delivery of certain forms and documents to establish each Lender's status for
U.S. withholding tax purposes, each Lender agrees promptly to deliver to the
Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, as the Administrative Agent or the
Borrowers shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a
timely fashion thereafter, such other documents and forms required by any
relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any other jurisdiction, duly
executed and completed by such Lender, as are required under such Laws to
confirm such Lender's entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction
of, applicable withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such
Lender outside of the U.S. by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise to establish such Lender's status for withholding tax purposes in such
other jurisdiction. Each Lender shall promptly (i) notify the Administrative
Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any
such claimed exemption or reduction, and (ii) take such steps as shall not be
materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and
as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending
Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any such jurisdiction
that any Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts
payable to such Lender. Additionally, each Borrower shall promptly deliver to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the Administrative Agent or such
Lender shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a
timely fashion thereafter, such documents and forms required by any relevant
taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed and
completed by such Borrower, as are required to be furnished by such Lender or
the Administrative Agent under such Laws in connection with any payment by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender of Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in
connection with the Loan Documents, with respect to such jurisdiction.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender
determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes
or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with
respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but
only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by
such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the
Administrative Agent, such Lender, and without interest (other than any interest
paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund),
provided that each Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent,
such Lender agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the
Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any
other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any
Borrower or any other Person.
34
3.02 Illegality.
If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its
applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or
to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any
Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of
such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the
applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the
Borrower Representative through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such
Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or
currencies or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until
such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative
that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all such
Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last
day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to
maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such
Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon
any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay
accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.
If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with
any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation
thereof that (a) deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable
offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and
Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested
Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (c) the
Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of funding such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will
promptly so notify Borrower Representative and each Lender. Thereafter, the
obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the
affected currency or currencies shall be suspended until the Administrative
Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon
receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower may revoke any pending request
for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in
the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have
converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the
amount specified therein.
3.04 Increased Costs.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in
by, any Lender;
(ii) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect
to this Agreement or any Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it, or change the
basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition
of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender);
or
35
(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate
Loans made by such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to
such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loan (or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount
of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal,
interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the
Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender, for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law
affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender's
holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital
of such Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement,
the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, such Lender, to a level
below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's
policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to
capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this
Section and delivered to Borrower Representative shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on
any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation, provided
that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or
reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender
notifies Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred
to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
3.05 Compensation for Losses.
Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from
time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold
such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result
of:
(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan
other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by
reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(b) any failure by Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of
such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow or continue any Loan on the
date or in the amount notified by such Borrower; or
36
(c) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the
last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by
Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 11.13;
including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from
the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan.
The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such
Lender in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrowers to the Lenders
under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each
Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Base Rate used in
determining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other
borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable
amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan
was in fact so funded.
3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or a Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section
3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different
Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section
3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the
notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not
subject such Lender to any un-reimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise
be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all
reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Lender in connection
with any such designation or assignment.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01, the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section
11.13.
3.07 Survival.
All of the Borrowers' obligations under this Article III shall survive
termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
ARTICLE IV
GUARANTY
4.01 The Guaranty.
(a) Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to the
Administrative Agent and each of the holders of the Obligations as hereinafter
provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the
Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory
prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory Cash Collateralization or otherwise)
strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further
agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at
stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory Cash
37
Collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally,
promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the
case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations,
the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity,
as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory Cash
Collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension
or renewal.
(b) Reserved.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in
any other of the Loan Documents, Swap Contracts, the obligations of each
Guarantor (in its capacity as such) under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount
that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor
Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable Law.
4.02 Obligations Unconditional.
(a) The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and
several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness,
validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or other
documents relating to the Obligations, or any substitution, compromise, release,
impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the
Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law,
irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor,
it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the obligations of the Guarantors
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances.
Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation,
indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against any Borrower or any other
Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article IV until such time as the
Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full.
(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it is aware of the Existing Events of
Default, has received copies of this Agreement and each other amendment

or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any
Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described
above:
(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor,
the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations
shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the
Loan Documents, or other documents relating to the Obligations or any other
agreement or instrument referred to therein shall be done or omitted;
(iii) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or
any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any
respect, or any right under any of the Loan Documents or any other
documents relating to the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument
referred to therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the
Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or
exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
38
(iv) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or
any holder of the Obligations as security for any of the Obligations shall
fail to attach or be perfected; or

subordinated to the claims of any Person (including any creditor of any
Guarantor).
(d) With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby
expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of
acceptance of the guaranty given hereby and of extensions of credit that may
constitute obligations guaranteed hereby, notices of amendments, waivers,
consents and supplements to the Loan Documents and other documents relating to
the Obligations, or the compromise, release or exchange of collateral or
security, and all other notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the
Administrative Agent or any holder of the Obligations exhaust any right, power
or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents or any
other documents relating to the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument
referred to therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of,
or security for, any of the Obligations.
4.03 Reinstatement.
Neither the Guarantors' obligations hereunder nor any remedy for the
enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any
manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation
of the liability of the Borrowers, by reason of any Borrower's bankruptcy or
insolvency or by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of all or any
portion of the Obligations. In addition, the obligations of each Guarantor under
this Article IV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for
any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the
Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of
the Obligations, whether as a result of any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, and
each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each
holder of the Obligations on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses
(including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the
Administrative Agent or such holder of the Obligations in connection with such
rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in
defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference,
fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any Debtor Relief Law.
4.04 Certain Waivers.
Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the guaranty given hereby
may be enforced without the necessity of resorting to or otherwise exhausting
remedies in respect of any other security or collateral interests, and without
the necessity at any time of having to take recourse against the Borrowers
hereunder or against any collateral securing the Obligations or otherwise, and
(b) it will not assert any right to require that action first be taken against
the Borrowers or any other Person (including any co-guarantor) or pursuit of any
other remedy or enforcement any other right, and (c) nothing contained herein
shall prevent or limit action being taken against the Borrowers hereunder, under
the other Loan Documents or the other documents and agreements relating to the
Obligations or, foreclosure on any security or collateral interests relating
hereto or thereto, or the exercise of any other rights or remedies available in
respect thereof, if neither the Borrowers nor the Guarantors shall timely
perform their obligations, and the exercise of any such rights and completion of
any such foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of the
Guarantors' obligations hereunder unless as a result thereof, the Obligations
shall have been paid in full, it being the purpose and intent that the
Guarantors' obligations hereunder be absolute, irrevocable, independent and
unconditional under all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor
shall have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations, except
39
through the exercise of rights of subrogation in accordance with to Section 4.02
and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.06.
4.05 Remedies.
The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, as
between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and holders of the Obligations, on the
other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as
provided in Section 9.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due
and payable in the circumstances specified in Section 9.02) for purposes of
Section 4.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming
automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the
event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become
automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable
by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors
for purposes of Section 4.01. The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their
obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral
Documents and that the holders of the Obligations may exercise their remedies
thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.
4.06 Rights of Contribution.
The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, in connection with
payments made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from
each other Guarantor in accordance with applicable Law. Such contribution rights
shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until
such time as the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full, and none of the
Guarantors shall exercise any such contribution rights until the Obligations
have been irrevocably paid in full.
4.07 Guaranty of Payment; Continuing Guarantee.
(a) The guarantee given by the Guarantors in this Article IV is a guaranty
of payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to
all Obligations whenever arising.
(b) Reserved.
(c) If, for any reason, notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations and
agreements of a Guarantor herein cease to be a continuing security, the
liability of such Guarantor hereunder at the date of such cessation shall remain

Borrower in respect of the Obligations. To the extent (if at all) relevant,
this perpetuity period for the rights herein contained is 80 years from the date

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
The Loan Parties represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders as follows:
42
6.01 Existence, Qualification and Power.
Each Loan Party (a) is duly organized, incorporated or formed, validly
existing and (to the extent the concept of good standing exists in such
jurisdiction) in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation or organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority and all
requisite governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals to (i)
own its assets and carry on its business and (ii) execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and (c) is duly
qualified and is licensed and (to the extent the concept of good standing exists
in such jurisdiction) in good standing under the Laws of each jurisdiction where
its ownership, lease or operation of properties or the conduct of its business
requires such qualification or license; except in each case referred to in
clause (b)(i) or (c), to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
6.02 Authorization; No Contravention.
The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan
Document to which such Person is party, including TRM's obligation to issue the
Warrants, the reservation for issuance and the issuance of the Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise thereof, have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate or other organizational action, and do not (a) contravene the terms of
any of such Person's Organization Documents; (b) conflict with or result in any
breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, or require any
payment to be made under (i) any Contractual Obligation to which such Person is
a party or affecting such Person or the properties of such Person or any of its
Subsidiaries or (ii) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental
Authority or any arbitral award to which such Person or its property is subject;
or (c) violate any Law (including, without limitation, Regulation U or
Regulation X issued by the FRB) or any applicable Law or regulation in any
relevant jurisdiction concerning the giving of financial assistance by any Loan
Party for the acquisition or subscription of shares in it or concerning the
protection of the shareholders' capital of such Loan Party. Each Loan Party is
in compliance with all Contractual Obligations referred to in clause (b)(i),
except to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Except for the filing of a proxy statement with
the SEC as would be required if TRM seeks shareholder approval pursuant to the
rules of the NASDAQ National Market for the issuance of an aggregate number of
Warrant Shares greater than 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date, the filings and listings
contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, and the filing of instruments
to perfect security interests, none of TRM and its Subsidiaries is required to
obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or

obligations under or contemplated by the Loan Documents in accordance with the
terms hereof or thereof. All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and
registrations that TRM or any of its Subsidiaries is required to obtain as
described in the preceding sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior
to the date of this Agreement. To the Knowledge (as defined below) of TRM, there
are no facts or circumstances that might give rise to any of the foregoing. TRM

thereunder. The "Knowledge" of TRM means, for purposes of this Section 6.02, the
actual knowledge of any "officer" (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under
the 0000 Xxx) of TRM or of the principal financial officer of any Subsidiary.
6.03 Governmental Authorization; Other Consents.
No approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or

this Agreement or any other Loan Document other than (i) those that have already
been obtained and are in full force and effect and (ii) filings to perfect the
Liens created by the Collateral Documents.
6.04 Binding Effect.
Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party
that is party thereto. Each Loan Document constitutes a legal, valid and binding

limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws or by equitable principals relating to
enforceability.

Each Loan Party has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or
valid leasehold interests in, all real property necessary or used in the

(either of the applicable Borrower only or of TRM and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis) subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 or Section 8.05 or

other information
47
furnished (whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf of any Loan Party to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder
or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified or supplemented by
other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or
omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in

Schedule 6.15 with the delivery of each Compliance Certificate pursuant to
Section 7.02(b) hereof.
6.16 Compliance with Laws.
Each Loan Party is in compliance with the requirements of all Laws and all
orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties,
except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ,
injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Administrative Agent and Lenders
have been advised by Borrowers that with respect to its quarterly report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, Borrowers will either make a

reporting requirements of the 1934 Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to the
date this representation is made (including all exhibits included therein and
financial statements and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by
reference therein) being hereinafter referred to as the "SEC Documents"). TRM
has made available to the Lenders or their respective representatives true and
complete copies of the SEC Documents. Except for the Non Compliant 10-Q Filing
or the Delayed 10-Q Filing, each of the SEC Documents was filed with the SEC
within the time frames prescribed by the SEC for the filing of such SEC
Documents (including any extensions of such time frames permitted by Rule 12b-25
under the 0000 Xxx) such that each filing was timely filed (or deemed timely
filed pursuant to Rule 12b-25 under the 0000 Xxx) with the SEC. Except for the

dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects
49
with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC
promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents. None of the SEC
Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except for the Non
Compliant 10-Q Filing or the Delayed 10-Q Filing, as of their respective dates,
the consolidated financial statements of TRM and its Subsidiaries included in

respect thereto. Such consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied,
during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such
financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of un-audited
interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed
or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial
position of TRM and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the results of
their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case
of un-audited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). None of TRM and
its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors or Affiliates
or, to TRM's Knowledge, any shareholder of TRM has made any other filing with
the SEC, issued any press release or made any other public statement or
communication on behalf of TRM or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise relating
to TRM or any of its subsidiaries that contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits any statement of material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are
or were made, not misleading or has provided any other information to the
Lenders, that, considered in the aggregate, contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are or
were made, not misleading. TRM is not required to file and will not be required
to file any agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other instrument entered
into prior to the date this representation is made and in effect on the date
this representation is made and to which TRM or any Subsidiary is a party or by
which TRM or any Subsidiary is bound that has not been previously filed as an
exhibit (including by way of incorporation by reference) to its reports filed or
made with the SEC under the 1934 Act. The accounting firm that has expressed its
opinion with respect to the consolidated financial statements included in TRM's
most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K (the "Audit Opinion") is
independent of TRM pursuant to the standards set forth in Rule 2-01 of
Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC, and such firm was otherwise qualified to
render the Audit Opinion under applicable law and the rules and regulations of
the SEC. There is no transaction, arrangement or other relationship between the
Company and an unconsolidated or other off-balance-sheet entity that is required
to be disclosed by the Company in its reports pursuant to the 1934 Act that has
not been so disclosed in the SEC Documents.
6.24 Acknowledgment Regarding Lenders' Purchase of Warrants.
TRM and the other Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that each of the
Lenders is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length purchaser with
respect to TRM in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. Each of the Loan Parties further acknowledges
that each Lender is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of TRM (or in
any similar capacity) with respect to the Loan Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, and any advice given by any of the Lenders or
any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Loan
Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely
incidental to such Lender's purchase of the Warrants. The Loan Parties further
represent to each Lender that the Loan Parties' decisions to enter into the Loan
Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Loan
Parties and their respective representatives.
6.25 No General Solicitation.
50
Neither TRM, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or
their behalf, has engaged or will engage in any form of general solicitation or
general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the 0000 Xxx) in
connection with the offer or sale of the Warrants.
6.26 No Integrated Offering.
Neither TRM, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or
their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any
security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that
would require registration of any of the Warrants under the 1933 Act or cause
this offering of the Warrants to be integrated with prior offerings by TRM for
purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable shareholder approval provisions of
the Principal Market or any other authority, nor will TRM or any of its
Subsidiaries take any action or steps that would require registration of the
issuance of any of the Warrants under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the
Warrants to be integrated with other offerings for purposes of the 1933 Act or
any applicable shareholder provision of the Principal Market or any other
authority.
6.26 Dilutive Effect.
TRM understands and acknowledges that the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants will increase in certain circumstances. TRM
further acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon
exercise of the Warrants in accordance with this Agreement and the Warrants is,
in each case, absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that
such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of TRM.

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints WFF to act on its behalf as
the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to
exercise such powers as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by
the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the

nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any
of such provisions (other than Section 10.06).
10.02 Rights as a Lender.
The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the
same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term
"Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the
context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative
Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any
other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with
any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person
were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account
therefor to the Lenders.
10.03 Exculpatory Provisions.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the
Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as
shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents),
provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any
action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the
Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document
or applicable law; and
(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other
Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of
its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as
the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
71
circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice
describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower, a
Lender.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.
10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not
incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the
proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to
it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper
Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its
terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative
Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender
prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with
legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants
and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken
or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel,
accountants or experts.
10.05 Delegation of Duties.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise
its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through
any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such
sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities
as Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to
the Lenders and Borrower Representative. Upon receipt of any such notice of
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with
Borrower Representative, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an
office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in
the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within two (2)
Business Days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a
72
successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above;
provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower Representative
and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then
such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such
notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all
payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender
directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance
of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom
as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a
successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor.
After the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its
sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent
was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related
Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their
Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from
time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or
not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
10.08 No Other Duties; Etc.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners,
arrangers, syndication agents, documentation agents or co-agents shall have any
powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a
Lender hereunder.
10.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable
as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether
the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the applicable Borrower)
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal
and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other
Obligations (other than obligations under Swap Contracts to which the
Administrative Agent is not a party) that are owing and unpaid and to file
such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for
the reasonable compensation, expenses,
73
disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and
their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders
and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.09 and

other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event
that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative
Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent
to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that
such notice is a "notice of default." Administrative Agent promptly will notify
the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of
which Administrative Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual
knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other
Lenders and Administrative Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be
solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject
to 11.02(d), Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in
accordance with Section 9; provided, however, that if an event occurs or a
circumstance exists that materially and imminently threatens the ability of
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to realize upon any material part of the
Collateral, such as, without limitation, fraudulent removal, concealment or
abscondment thereof, destruction (other than to the extent covered by insurance)
or material waste thereof, or failure of Borrowers after reasonable demand to
maintain or reinstate adequate casualty insurance coverage with respect thereto,
Administrative Agent may take such action, or refrain from taking such action,
with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in
its commercially reasonable discretion.
11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no
delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or
privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges
provided by law.
11.04 Expenses; Indemnity; and Damage Waiver.
(a) Costs and Expenses. The Loan Parties shall pay (i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates
(including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the
Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution,
delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or
any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender) in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection
with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under
this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit
issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any
workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. For avoidance
of doubt, the Loan Parties' obligation to pay the amounts described in the
preceding clause (iii) to any Lender (as opposed to the Administrative Agent)
shall be subject to the existence of an Event of Default at the time such
amounts were incurred by such Lender.
(b) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and each Lender, and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
"Indemnitee") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any
third party or by any Borrower or any other
78
Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the
parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan
or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or
alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned
or operated by a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental
Liability related in any way to a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv)
any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other
theory, whether brought by a third party or by a Borrower or any other Loan
Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by a Borrower or any other
Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee's
obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower or such
other Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on
such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Loan Parties for any
reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b)
of this Section to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent
thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such
Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender's Applicable Percentage
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense
or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case
may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any
such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of
the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in
connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this
subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).
(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of
the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be
liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any
information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby.
(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later
than ten Business Days after demand therefor.
(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation
of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of
the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other
Obligations.
79
11.05 Payments Set Aside.
To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any
Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such
setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its
discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then
(a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect
as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b)
each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its
applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid
by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand
to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
Defaulting Lender Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency
of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of
the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and
the termination of this Agreement.
11.06 Successors and Assigns.
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby, except that a Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an
Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this
Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section
(and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be
null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be
construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent
provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.
(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or
more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b);
provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender's Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of
an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with
respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the principal outstanding balance
of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined
as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the
Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than
$1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) each partial
assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender's Loans and Commitments, and rights and obligations with
respect thereto, assigned; and (iii) 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 the Eligible
Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
an loan administrative questionnaire in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to Administrative Agent. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the
Administrative Agent
80
pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder
shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment). Upon request, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and
deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
subsection (d) of this Section.
(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as
an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent's Office a
copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the principal amounts
of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to
time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by each of the
Borrowers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or
substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to
consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from
the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural person or a Borrower or any of TRM's Affiliates or
Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's
rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such
Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section
11.01(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this
Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of
this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a
Lender.
(e) Limitation on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable
Lender 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 Borrowers' prior written consent. A Participant that
would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the
benefits of Section 3.01 unless Borrower Representative is notified of
81
the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the
benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a
Lender.
(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including
under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided
that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto.
(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words "execution," "signed,"
"signature," and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be
deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic
form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based
recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in
any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act,
or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act
11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates' respective
partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives,
to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty (or such contractual
counterparty's professional advisor) under any Swap Contract relating to Loans
outstanding under this Agreement (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction
over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to
a Loan Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrowers or (h)
to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a
non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers and who is not in
breach of any duties of confidentiality.
For purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information received
from a Loan Party or any Subsidiary relating to the Loan Parties or any
Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a
non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any Subsidiary,
provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any
Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the
time of delivery as confidential. For purposes of this Agreement, any
information delivered or obtained by Lenders pursuant to Sections 7.01(b), 7.02
or 7.10 which is not otherwise publicly available shall be deemed confidential
without the identification required by the previous sentence. 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
82
degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information.
11.08 Set-off.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender
and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and
from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in
whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or
for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against
any and all of the obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such
Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of
such Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a
branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such
deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their
respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective
Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrower Representative and
the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such setoff and application.
11.09 Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document,
the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed
the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the
"Maximum Rate"). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive
interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall
be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid
principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest
contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender
exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable
Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or
premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects
thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal
parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the
Obligations hereunder.
11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original,
but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when
the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when
taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of
this Agreement.
11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties.
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan
Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection
herewith or therewith shall survive the
83
execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties
have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender,
regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Loan,
and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other
Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
11.12 Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to
be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
11.13 Replacement of Lenders.
(a) By Borrower. If (A) any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, (B) a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section
3.01, or (C) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their
sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative
Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents
required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume
such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment), provided that:
(i) The Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the
assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b);
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees
and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to
the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or
the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such
compensation or payments thereafter; and
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
Upon the consummation of such sale and assignment, the applicable
amendment, modification, forbearance and/or waiver giving rise to the option to
acquire such Non-Consenting Lender's interests hereunder shall become effective
upon giving effect to such assignment (and any related assignments required to
be effected in connection therewith in accordance with this Section 11.13).
(b) By Lenders. If any Lender refuses to consent (such Lender a
"Non-Consenting Lender") to an amendment, modification, forbearance and/or
waiver of or under this Agreement, and such Non-Consenting Lender's consent is
otherwise necessary to achieve Required Lender consent hereunder and
84
but for such failure to consent, such amendment, modification, forbearance or
waiver would have been effected pursuant to the terms hereof, then any one or
more of the other Lenders may, but shall not be required to purchase and assume
(if more than one, then on a pro rata basis), or to designate some other Person
to purchase, assume and acquire the interests and obligations of the
Non-Consenting Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents and such
Non-Consenting Lender shall promptly assign, sell and transfer to such other
Lenders, or to any such other Person as designated by such Lenders (such
Lender(s) or other purchaser, an "Assignee") all of its rights, interest and
Obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents.
Upon the date of such purchase and sale, the Assignee shall pay to the
Non-Consenting Lender as the purchase price for its pro rata share of the
Obligations, the full amount of all Loans and other Obligations then outstanding
and unpaid (including principal, interest, fees and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses) held by or owing to such
Non-Consenting Lender and furnish cash collateral or agree to indemnify such Non
Consenting Lender in respect of indemnification obligations of Borrowers under
the Loan Documents (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses)
which are identified by the Non-Consenting Lender as being then due and owing or
which have been asserted and are liquidated or are otherwise ascertainable in
amount, but only to the extent not previously indemnified and reimbursed by the
Borrowers and without releasing, or affecting the indemnification obligations of
Borrowers under the Loan Documents or the survival of such provisions in favor
of the Non-Consenting Lender, provided that, in no event will any Lenders or the
Assignee have any liability for amounts described herein in excess of proceeds
of Collateral received by the Lenders. The foregoing purchase price payments
shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account as the
Non-Consenting Lender may designate in writing to the Assignee for such purpose.
Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the business day on which such
purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by Assignee to the bank
account designated by the Non-Consenting Lender are received in such bank
account prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time and interest shall be calculated
to and including such business day if the amounts so paid by the Assignee to the
bank account designated by the Non-Consenting Lender are received in such bank
account later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time. If the Non Consenting Lender
also serves as Administrative Agent hereunder, then notwithstanding any transfer
and sale pursuant to this Section 11.13, such Non-Consenting Lender shall
continue to serve as Administrative Agent unless and until the Required Lenders
shall otherwise determine in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Such purchase and sale shall be expressly made without representation or
warranty of any kind by the Non-Consenting Lender as to the Loans so purchased
or otherwise and without recourse to the Non-Consenting Lender, except that the
Non-Consenting Lender shall represent and warrant to the Assignee and to each
other Lender: (i) the amount of the Loans and other Obligations being purchased
from it, (ii) that such Non-Consenting Lender owns its portion of the Loans and
other Obligations so purchased free and clear of any Liens or encumbrances and
(iii) such Non-Consenting Lender has the right to assign such Loans and other
Obligations and the assignment is duly authorized by such Non-Consenting Lender.
Upon any such assignment and payment and compliance with the other
provisions hereunder, such Non-Consenting Lender shall no longer constitute a
"Lender" for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Non-Consenting Lender
to indemnification hereunder shall survive.
(c) A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or
delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply.

PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT AND
86
THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
11.16 USA PATRIOT Act Notice.
Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby
notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act
(Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act"), it
is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each
Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and
other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act.
11.17 Judgment Currency.
If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to
convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into
another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance
with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first
currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which
final judgment is given. The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of any
such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency
(the "Judgment Currency") other than that in which such sum is denominated in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the "Agreement
Currency"), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following
receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the
Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal
banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.
If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum
originally due to the Administrative Agent from any Loan Party in the Agreement
Currency, such Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding
any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom
such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement
Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the
Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return
the amount of any excess to such Loan Party (or to any other Person who may be
entitled thereto under applicable law).
11.18 Matters Relating to Borrowers' Joint and Several Liability.
(a) Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers. Each of the Borrowers
shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder and under each of the other Loan
Documents with respect to all Obligations, regardless of which of the Borrowers
actually receives the proceeds of the Loan or the benefit of any other
extensions of credit hereunder, or the manner in which the Borrower
Representative, the Borrowers, the Lenders account therefor in their respective
books and records. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, (i)
each Borrower's obligations and liabilities with respect to proceeds of Loans
which it receives and (ii) each Borrower's obligations and liabilities arising
as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder with
respect to proceeds of the Loans received by or for the account of, any of the
other Borrowers, together with the related fees, costs and expenses, shall be
separate and distinct obligations, both of which are primary obligations of such
Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing in any manner, all
representations and warranties of Borrowers' contained herein are made jointly
and severally. For purposes of the agreements, representations, warranties and
covenants contained in this Agreement and in the other Financing Documents, the
knowledge of one Borrower shall be imputed to all Borrowers (including, without
limitation, the Borrower Representative, and any consent by one Borrower
(including, without limitation, the Borrower Representative) shall
87
constitute the consent of and shall bind all Borrowers. Neither the joint and
several liability of, nor the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent under
the Collateral Documents by, any of the Borrowers shall be impaired or released
by
(i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any
successors or assigns thereof, or any holder of any Note or any of the
Obligations to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any
right, power or remedy against the Borrower Representative, any Borrower,
any Subsidiary of any Borrower, any other Person, the Collateral or
otherwise;
(ii) any extension or renewal for any period (whether or not longer
than the original period) or exchange of any of the Obligations or the
release or compromise of any obligation of any nature of any Person with
respect thereto;
(iii) the surrender, release or exchange of all or any part of any
property (including without limitation the Collateral) securing payment,
performance and/or observance of any of the Obligations or the compromise
or extension or renewal for any period (whether or not longer than the
original period) of any obligations of any nature of any Person with
respect to any such property, or the existence, value or condition of, or
failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Obligations or
any action, or the absence of any action, by the Administrative Agent and
Lenders in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);
(iv) any action or inaction on the part of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender, or any other event or condition with respect to any other
Borrower, including any such action or inaction or other event or
condition, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, such Borrower, or a guarantor or surety of or for any or all
of the Obligations;
(v) any other act, matter or thing (other than payment or performance
of the Obligations) which would or might, in the absence of this provision,
operate to release, discharge or otherwise prejudicially affect the
obligations of such or any other Borrower.
(vi) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any
future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document
or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Borrower is or
may become a party; or
(vii) the insolvency of any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any
Borrower.
(b) Rights of Contribution. The Borrowers hereby agree as among themselves
that, if any Borrower shall make an Excess Payment (as defined below), such
Borrower shall have a right of contribution from each other Borrower in an
amount equal to such other Borrower's Contribution Share (as defined below) of
such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any Borrower under this Section
11.18 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations
until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full in cash and all
Commitments have terminated, and none of the Borrowers shall exercise any right
or remedy under this Section 11.18 against any other Borrower until such time as
all Obligations have been paid in full in cash and all Commitments have been
terminated. For purposes of this Section 11.18, (a) "Excess Payment" shall mean
the amount paid by any Borrower in excess of its Pro Rata Share of any
Obligations; (b) "Pro Rata Share" shall mean, for purposes of this Section 11.18
and for any Borrower in respect of any payment of the Obligations, the ratio
(expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such payment of Obligations of (i)
the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its
assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such
Borrower (including contingent, subordinated, un-matured, and un-liquidated
liabilities, but excluding the Obligations of such Borrower hereunder) to (ii)
the amount by which the aggregate present
88
fair salable value of its assets and other properties of all Borrowers exceeds
the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent,
subordinated, un-matured, and un-liquidated liabilities, but excluding the
Obligations of all Borrowers hereunder) of the Borrowers; and (c) "Contribution
Share" shall mean, for any Borrower in respect of any Excess Payment made by any
other Borrower, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such
Excess Payment of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable
value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and
liabilities of such Borrower (including contingent, subordinated, un-matured,
and un-liquidated liabilities, but excluding the Obligations of such Borrower
hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value
of all assets and other properties of the Borrowers other than the maker of such
Excess Payment exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including
contingent, subordinated, un-matured, and un-liquidated liabilities, but
excluding the Obligations of the Borrowers) of the Borrowers other than the
maker of such Excess Payment. Nothing in this Section 11.18 shall require any
Borrower to pay its Contribution Share of any Excess Payment in the absence of a
demand therefor by the Borrower that has made the Excess Payment. Without
limiting the foregoing in any manner, it is the intent of the parties hereto
that as of any date of determination, no Contribution Amount of any Borrower
shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered
from such Borrower under this Section 11.18 without rendering such claim
voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or
under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.
(c) Waivers by Borrowers. Each Borrower expressly waives all rights it may
have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in
equity, or otherwise, to compel the Administrative Agent to marshal assets or to
proceed in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other
Borrower or guarantor of the Obligations, any other party or against any
security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding
against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower. It is agreed
among each Borrower and the Lenders that the foregoing waivers are of the
essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section and such waivers and
the Lenders would decline to enter into this Agreement.
(d) Subordination of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set
forth in subsection (E) below, each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably
subordinates to payment of the Obligations any and all rights at law or in
equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification
or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or
accommodation co-obligor until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in
cash. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended
to benefit the Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower's
liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 11.18, and that each
Lender and the Administrative Agent (on their behalf) and their respective
successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and
agreements set forth herein.
(e) Miscellaneous. This Section is intended only to define the relative
rights of the Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section is intended to or
shall impair the obligations of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any
amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Nothing contained in this
Section shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans made directly
or indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, Fees and expenses with
respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable. The parties
hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder
shall constitute assets of the Borrowers to which such contribution and
indemnification is owing. The rights of any indemnified Borrower against the
other Borrowers under this Section shall be exercisable upon the full and
indefeasible payment of the Obligations.
89
11.19 Oral Agreements.
UNDER OREGON LAW, MOST AGREEMENTS, PROMISES AND COMMITMENTS MADE BY THE
LENDERS AFTER OCTOBER 3, 1989, CONCERNING LOANS AND OTHER CREDIT EXTENSION WHICH
ARE NOT FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES OR SECURED SOLELY BY THE
BORROWER'S RESIDENCE MUST BE IN WRITING, EXPRESS CONSIDERATION, AND BE SIGNED BY
THE LENDERS TO BE ENFORCEABLE.
11.20 No Novation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
this Agreement is not intended to and does not serve to effect a novation of the
Obligations under the Existing Loan Agreement. Instead, it is the express
intention of the parties hereto to reaffirm the indebtedness created under the
Existing Loan Agreement which is evidenced by the amended and restated notes
provided for herein and secured by the Collateral. Borrowers, and each other
Loan Party hereby acknowledges and confirms that the liens and security
interests granted pursuant to the Loan Documents secure the indebtedness,
liabilities and obligations of such Persons to Administrative Agent and Lenders
under the Existing Loan Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, and that the
term "Obligations" as used in the Loan Documents (or any other term used therein
to describe or refer to the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of
Borrowers to Administrative Agent and Lenders) includes, without limitation, the
indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of Borrowers under the Notes to be
delivered under this Agreement, as the same may be further amended, modified,
supplemented or restated from time to time. The Loan Documents and all
agreements, instruments and documents executed or delivered in connection with
any of the foregoing shall each be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary
to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement. Cross-references in the Loan
Documents to particular section numbers in the Existing Loan Agreement shall be
deemed to be cross-references to the corresponding sections, as applicable, of
this Agreement.
11.21 Waiver of Existing Events of Default. Upon satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Section __ hereof and in reliance upon the representations,
warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, Administrative Agent and
Lenders hereby waive the Existing Events of Default. This is a limited, one time
waiver and, except as expressly set forth herein, shall not be deemed to: (a)
constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default or any breach of the Existing
Loan Agreement, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, whether now
existing or hereafter arising, (b) constitute a waiver of any of the other
rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders under the Loan
Documents (all such rights and remedies being expressly reserved by
Administrative Agent and the Lenders) or (c) establish a custom or course of
dealing or conduct between Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Borrower or any
other Loan Party. The foregoing waiver shall not be deemed to constitute a
consent to any act, omission or any breach of this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with any term or condition
contained in this Agreement (other than in connection with the Existing Events
of Default) or any of the other Loan Documents or constitute a course of conduct
or dealing among the parties.
ARTICLE XII
INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS
12.01 General Assignments. Administrative Agent, Borrowers and each Lender each
hereby acknowledges and agrees that:
90
(a) the Obligations include any interest that accrues after the
commencement of any Proceeding or other action relating to the bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar proceeding of any Credit
Party at the rate provided for in the applicable Loan Documents governing the
same, and all indemnities, fees, costs and expenses, whether or not a claim for
post petition interest or for such indemnities, fees, costs and expenses is
allowed or allowable in any such case, proceeding or other action; and
(b) to further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in Sections
2.05(b)(viii) and 9.03 hereof, each Term B Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees
that, with respect to any proceeds realized from the exercise of any remedies
against the Collateral or otherwise in connection with any Collateral, the Term
A Lenders shall be entitled to receive payment in full, in cash of the
Obligations owing to the Term A Lenders, including all principal, pre-petition
interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post petition
interest at the relevant contract rate (and including, without limitation, all
post petition indemnities, fees, costs and expenses), even though such claims
may or may not be allowed in whole or in part in the respective Proceeding,
before any distribution of such Collateral proceeds is made in respect of the
claims held by the Term B Lenders, and the Term B Lenders shall turn over any
distribution received by any of them with respect to any Collateral to
Administrative Agent for application against the Obligations owing to the Term A
Lenders until such obligations are paid in full in cash.
12.02 Agreements Regarding Bankruptcy.
(a) In the event of the filing of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief
Laws, including without limitation, any case or proceeding of the type described
in subsection 9.01(f) of this Agreement, by or against any Credit Party,
Required Lenders may not vote for or approve any plan, the effect of which is to
increase the amount of the aggregate Obligations owing to the Term A Lenders or
any other obligations that are ahead of the Obligations owing to the Term B
Lenders or which would alter the relative priorities of the application of
payments set forth in Sections 2.05(b)(viii) and 9.03 hereof;
(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to
file proofs of claim and other pleadings and motions with respect to any Term
Loans or the Collateral in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws. If a
proper proof of claim has not been filed in the form required in such Proceeding
at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the time for filing thereof,
Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the duty) to file an
appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Term B Lenders with respect to any of
the Obligations owing to the Term B Lenders. In furtherance of the foregoing,
the Term B Lenders hereby appoint Administrative Agent as their attorney in
fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Term B Lenders and full
power of substitution and in the name of the Term B Lenders or otherwise, to
execute, fill and deliver any document or instrument that such Administrative
Agent is required or permitted to file or deliver pursuant to this subsection
13.2(b), such appointment being coupled with an interest and irrevocable.
(c) The Obligations owing to the Term A Lenders shall continue to be
treated as Obligations owing to the Term A Lenders and the provisions of
Sections 2.05(b)(viii) and 9.03 of this Agreement shall continue to govern the
relative rights and priorities of the Term A Lenders and the Term B Lenders with
respect to the application of proceeds realized from any Collateral even if all
or part of the Obligations owing to the Term A Lenders or the Liens securing
same are subordinated, set aside, avoided, invalidated or disallowed in
connection with any Proceeding.
91
(d) To the extent that any Term A Lender receives payments (whether in
cash, property or securities) on the Obligations owing to the Term A Lenders or
proceeds of the Collateral which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential transfers, set aside and/or required to be repaid to
a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or
federal law, common law or equitable cause (and whether as a result of any
demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise), then, to the extent of such
payment or proceeds received, the Obligations owing to the Term A Lenders, or
part thereof, intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full
force and effect as if such payments or proceeds had not been received by such
Term A Lender.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12, but subject to
subsection 12.02(a): (i) the Term B Lenders shall be entitled to file any
necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim,
adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or
otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Term B Lenders,
including without limitation any claims secured by the Collateral, if any, (ii)
the Term B Lenders shall be entitled to file any pleadings, objections, motions
or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors
of any Credit Party arising under either the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non
bankruptcy law, and (iii) the Term B Lenders shall be entitled to file any proof
of claim and other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each
case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and necessary to preserve their rights, in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, with respect to the Obligations owing to the Term B Lenders
and the Collateral; provided that notice of intent to take any such action shall
be given by the Term B Lenders to Administrative Agent not less than the earlier
of: (x) five (5) Business Days prior to the taking of such action and (y) two
(2) Business Days less than the number of days available by order of any
applicable bankruptcy code in which to file a claim.
12.03 Agreements Regarding Specific Enforcement Actions.
(a) Prior to the payment in full, in cash of all Obligations owing to the
Term A Lenders, and except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement,
Term Loan A Lenders shall have the exclusive right to direct Administrative
Agent to enforce the Collateral Documents: (i) by judicial proceedings for the
enforcement of the security interests created under the Collateral Documents;
(ii) by the sale of the Collateral or any part thereof; (iii) otherwise by the
exercise of the power of entry or sale herein conferred or conferred by the
Collateral Documents; or (iv) by taking any other enforcement action against, or
exercising any other remedies with respect to, the Collateral. Upon payment in
full, in cash of all Obligations owing to the Term A Lenders and thereafter, and
at any time following 180 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default that
has not been otherwise waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Term B
Lenders shall have the exclusive right to direct Administrative Agent with
respect to the powers specified in this Section 12.03.
(b) Each Term B Lender agrees that it will not take any action that would
hinder, delay, limit or prohibit any exercise of remedies under the Loan
Documents to the extent permitted thereunder, including any collection, sale,
lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral, whether by
foreclosure or otherwise.
12.04 Term A Lenders and Term B Lenders; Administrative Agent.
(a) Each Term B Lender agrees that no Term A Lender shall have any
liability to such Term B Lender, and such Term B Lender hereby waives any claims
against any Term A Lender, arising out of any and all actions which any Term A
Lender may take or permit or omit to take with respect to: (i) the Loan
Documents, (ii) the foreclosure upon, or sale, liquidation or other disposition
or realization of, any Collateral or (iii) the collection of the Obligations
owing to the Term A Lenders.
92
(b) Each Term B Lender agrees that no Term A Lender shall have any duty,
express or implied, fiduciary or otherwise, to it in respect of the maintenance
or preservation of any Collateral, any Obligations or otherwise. Except as
expressly provided hereunder, no Term A Lender nor any of its respective
directors, officers, employees or agents will be liable for failure to demand,
collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, or
will be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon
the request of any Credit Party, any Term B Lender or any other Person or to
take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part
thereof.
(c) Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees not to, directly or
indirectly, whether in connection with a Proceeding or otherwise, take any
action or vote in any way that would be in violation of, or inconsistent with,
or result in a breach of, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or
challenge or contest: (i) the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability
of any Obligations or the Lien held by Administrative Agent to secure the
payment, performance or observance of all or any part of the Obligations owing
to the Term A Lenders or the Obligations owing to the Term B Lenders, (ii) the
rights of Administrative Agent and Lenders, as the case may be, set forth in any
of the Loan Documents with respect to any such Lien, or (iii) the validity or
enforceability of any of the Loan Documents; provided that nothing in this
Section 12.04 is intended or shall be deemed or construed to limit in any way
the ability of the parties hereto to enforce all of the terms and provisions of
Section 12 or any terms of subordination among any of them.
(d) In the event that any proceeds of Collateral are received by any Term B
Lender at a time when such payment is not expressly permitted by the terms of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any such proceeds shall not be
commingled with any of the assets of such Term B Lender, shall be received and
held in trust for the benefit of the Term A Lenders and shall be promptly paid
over to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Term A Lenders, or
delivered in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or
assignments or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to the
extent necessary to pay in full in cash all Obligations owing to the Term A
Lenders in accordance with their terms. After the payment in full, in cash, of
all Obligations owing to the Term A Lenders, any remaining proceeds of
Collateral shall be delivered to Administrative Agent for application to the
Obligations owing to the Term B Lenders in accordance with the Loan Documents,
except as otherwise required pursuant to applicable law.
(e) The Term B Lenders hereby authorize Administrative Agent, or any of its
officers or employees, to make any endorsements or assignment (which
authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable) in the event the
Term B Lenders fail to provide any endorsement or assignment of the type
contemplated by clause (d) above.
(f) Each Term B Lender hereby waives any right to demand, request, plead or
otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of any appraisal, valuation or
other similar rights that may otherwise be available under applicable law with
respect to the Collateral or any other similar rights it may have under
applicable law.
(g) The Term B Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that, until the payment
in full, in cash, of all Obligations owing to the Term A Lenders, Administrative
Agent, acting on behalf of and at the direction or the Term A Lenders, shall
have the sole and exclusive right to adjust settlement of insurance claims in
the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of such Collateral.
12.05 No New Liens. Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agrees that no
Loan Party shall grant or permit its Subsidiaries to grant or permit, any Lien,
or take any action to perfect a Lien, on any asset or property to secure any
Obligation unless such Lien is granted to the Administrative Agent for the
93
benefit of the Lenders; providing nothing in this Section 12.05 shall limit the
rights of a Lender from exercising customary rights to setoff against accounts
maintained with such Person.
