ARTICLE II
LOANS AND ALLOCATIONS
2.01 Amounts and Terms of Commitment. Bank agrees to make available to the Borrowers, including the Parent, from the Effective Date until the fifth anniversary of the date hereof or until such earlier date on which the Bank terminates the Commitment pursuant to Section 8.02(a) or the Parent terminates the Commitment pursuant to Section 2.05(a) (the "Termination Date"), committed funds in an aggregate amount of $55,000,000 at any time outstanding (subject to reduction pursuant to Section 2.05(a)) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, as follows:
(a) Facility Advances. The Facility may be drawn upon by the Borrowers for Loans or Letters of Credit (collectively, "Advances") from the Effective Date until the Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $55,000,000 (subject to reduction pursuant to Section 2.05(a)) at any time outstanding.
(b) Facility Allocations
(i) The initial allocations of the Commitment among the Covered Subsidiaries on Schedule B-1 attached hereto in the amounts set forth thereon. The allocation of a portion of the Commitment to a Covered Subsidiary shall not affect the availability to the Borrowers of any unused and unallocated portion of the Commitment.
(ii) As of the Effective Date, those Subsidiaries of BAX and Brink's listed on Schedule B-1 have been designated by the Parent and accepted by the Bank as Covered Subsidiaries with such allocations of the unused Commitment as are specified on such Schedule B-1. At any time and from time to time after the Effective Date, the Parent, may by written notice to the Bank request that any other Subsidiary of BAX or
Brink's (other than Pittston Minerals Group, Inc., Pittston Coal Company and any of their respective Subsidiaries) be designated as a Covered Subsidiary and/or that the allocation of the Commitment among the Borrowers and the Covered Subsidiaries be modified. Any such request shall state the name and address of, as applicable, the Covered Subsidiary or the Subsidiary of BAX or Brink's proposed to be designated as an additional Covered Subsidiary and the country in which a credit extension is contemplated. The Bank, after consultation with the relevant branch or Affiliate, shall notify the Parent as soon as reasonably practicable whether it accepts such additional designation and/or re-allocation and shall advise the Parent in writing of the acceptance of such designation and/or such re-allocation. Any Subsidiary of BAX or Brink's so accepted by the Bank as an additional Covered Subsidiary in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a Covered Subsidiary for all purposes under this Agreement, including Schedule B-1 effective on the date of such acceptance. Upon request of the Parent at any time and from time to time, the Bank shall furnish revised versions of Schedule A-1, Schedule A-2 and Schedule B-1, as amended or supplemented, listing all Covered Subsidiaries and specifying the allocated portion of the unused Commitment applicable to such Covered Subsidiaries. The Bank shall not be obligated in any way to accept any such additional designation of a Covered Subsidiary or any such re-allocation. The determination by the Bank of the Dollar Equivalent with respect to any credit extensions in a currency other than US Dollars shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parent; the Bank may readjust the Dollar Equivalent periodically as provided in Section 2.04 (b) and Section 2.06(b)(provided it agrees not to make any such readjustment unless the Dollar Equivalent of Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and allocations exceeds the Commitment by 3% or more and the Bank agrees to give the Parent prompt written notice of any such readjustment). The Bank's relevant branch or Affiliate and the relevant Covered Subsidiary shall be free to structure each individual credit transaction in accordance with all relevant law, local custom and practice, including pricing and collateral, provided the guaranties of the relevant Guarantors under Article IX shall apply to all such extensions of credit. Any portions of the Commitment allocated as hereinabove provided shall be unavailable for use by any of the Borrowers and for further allocation until such time as the Bank notifies the Parent of reinstated availability. The Bank shall be entitled to demand cash collateral from the relevant Guarantors with respect to the principal of any obligations of any Covered Subsidiaries (but not with respect to interest, fees and the like with respect to any such obligations) incurred in respect to credit extensions contemplated by this Agreement which the Bank reasonably determines may be outstanding beyond the Termination Date or outstanding after any such Covered Subsidiary ceases to qualify as a Subsidiary (in the latter case, the providing of cash collateral shall not be required until 30 days after the Bank so requests). Cash collateral shall be by means of a deposit of immediately available funds in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of any such obligations in a non-interest bearing account with the Bank. Any failure to provide cash collateral in accordance with this Section 2.01(b)(ii) shall, upon written notice from the Bank to the Parent, be an Event of Default hereunder.
(c) Documentation for Loans. Each Loan may be evidenced by (a) one or more master promissory notes in form and substance acceptable to the relevant Lending Office or (b) by loan accounts maintained by such Lending Office. The records attached as grids to the promissory notes and the loan account and account records shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the amount of the Loans and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, increase, limit or otherwise affect the obligation hereunder of any Borrower to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans.
2.02 Procedure for Incurring Loans. Each Loan shall be made in Dollars upon the request of a Borrower to the relevant Lending Office (which request must be received by such Lending Office not later than 11:00 a.m. (local time), unless otherwise agreed by such Lending Office, (a) on the requested borrowing date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (b) three Business Days prior to the requested borrowing date, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, specifying (i) the principal amount of the Loan, (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day; (iii) whether the Loan is to be a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan; and (iv) if the requested Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan, the duration of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan. If the notice of borrowing shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Interest Period shall be one month.
2.03 Conversion and Continuation Elections with Respect to Outstanding Loans.
(a) Any Borrower may upon irrevocable written notice to the applicable Lending Office in accordance with Section 2.03(b):
(i) elect to convert, on any Business Day, any Base Rate Loan made to such Borrower into a LIBOR Rate Loan; or
(ii) elect to convert, on the last day of any Interest Period therefor, any LIBOR Rate Loan made to such Borrower into a Base Rate Loan; or
(iii) elect, on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan made to such Person, to continue such Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in the same currency for an additional Interest Period.
(b) Any Borrower wishing to convert or continue a Loan as described in Section 2.03(a) shall deliver by fax, a notice of conversion or continuation (which notice must be received by the applicable Lending Office not later than 11:00 a.m. (local time), unless otherwise agreed by such Lending Office) (i) on the date of conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, (ii) four Business Days prior to the date of conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan; and (iii) four Business Days prior to the date of continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan, specifying:
(A) the proposed date of conversion or continuation;
(B) the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or continued;
(C) the nature of the proposed conversion or continuation; and
(D) the duration of any requested Interest Period. If the notice of conversion or continuation shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Interest Period shall be one month.
(c) During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, the Bank may demand that any or all of the then-outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans be converted upon their expiration into Base Rate Loans. Such conversion shall continue to be in effect so long as such Default or Event of Default continues to exist.
2.04 Termination or Reduction of the Commitment.
(a) The Parent may, upon not less than three Business Days' prior notice to the Bank (i) terminate the Commitment upon full prepayment of all outstanding Advances and upon the termination of all allocations theretofore accepted by the Bank or the providing of cash collateral in all respects satisfactory to the Bank in order to fully collateralize the obligations of the Guarantors under Article IX or (ii) permanently reduce the Commitment to an amount not less than the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount of all Advances outstanding on the reduction date and all allocations of Commitment not theretofore terminated. If the Commitment is terminated in its entirety under this Section 2.04(a), all accrued and unpaid facility fees to, but not including, the effective date of such termination shall be payable on the effective date of such termination without any premium or penalty.
(b) For the purpose of ensuring compliance with the maximum amount available under the Commitment, the Bank shall on each date of a voluntary reduction of the Commitment under Section 2.04(a) and on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, determine the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount of all existing allocations and then-outstanding Advances.
2.05 Optional Prepayments. Subject to Section 4.04, any Borrower may, at any time or from time to time, upon at least three Business Days' notice to the applicable Lending Office, prepay Loans made to it in whole or in part. Such notice of prepayment shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and whether such prepayment is of Base Rate Loans, LIBOR Rate Loans or any combination thereof. No such notice shall be revocable by any Borrower after being given. Once such notice is given by any Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein, together (only in the case of prepayments of LIBOR Rate Loans) with accrued interest to each such date on the amount prepaid and the amounts, if any, required pursuant to Section 4.04.
2.06 Repayment of Principal.
(a) Each Borrower shall repay on the Termination Date the principal amount of the Loans made to it.
(b) In the event that the Bank determines, based on its computation made in accordance with Section 2.04(b) or at any other time that the Dollar Equivalent of the then-outstanding Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and allocations exceeds the Commitment, the Bank shall give notice to the Parent of such fact and of the amount of such excess (provided that the Bank agrees that no such notice shall be given unless the Dollar Equivalent of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and allocations exceeds the Commitment by 3% or more). Within 30 days after the date on which the Parent receives such notice, the Borrower shall prepay Loans or collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations or allocations with cash (as set forth below), in the aggregate amount of such excess. Any such prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made together with interest on the principal amount thereof and any amount required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 4.04. Any prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be applied, first, to any Base Rate Loans then outstanding, second, to LIBOR Rate Loans having Interest Periods ending on the date of such prepayment, and third, to the extent that the amounts referred to in clauses "first" and "second" are not sufficient to satisfy the entire prepayment requirement under this Section 2.06(b) or there are no such Loans outstanding on the date such prepayment would be required, then the remaining amount that would be required to be prepaid under this Section 2.06(b) shall be deposited in a cash collateral account maintained by the Bank, to be held as security for the Obligations hereunder pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Bank and the Borrowers, and to be applied to the prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans at the end of the respective Interest Periods therefor and to the payment of Reimbursement Obligations as the same become due.
2.07 Interest.
(a) Subject to Sections 2.07(c) and (e), each Loan made by the Bank shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made until it becomes due at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for the LIBOR Rate Loans or the Base Rate Loans per annum.
(b) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be payable on the date of any prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.05 for the portion of such Loans so prepaid and upon payment (including prepayment) in full of LIBOR Rate Loans; provided, however, that interest payable pursuant to Section 2.07(c) shall be payable on demand.
(c) While there shall be any default hereunder in the payment of principal, interest, fees or any other amount owing hereunder or after acceleration, each Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent
permitted by law) on the principal amount of all Obligations of such Person that are due and unpaid, at a rate per annum determined by adding 2% per annum to the interest rate then in effect for the applicable type of Loan and in the case of Obligations other than Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2%; provided, however, that, on and after the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loan outstanding on the date of occurrence of such Event of Default or acceleration, the principal amount of such Loan shall, during the continuation of such Event of Default or after acceleration, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2%.
(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the relevant Lending Office would be contrary to the provisions of any applicable law limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by the relevant Lending Office, and in such event the Borrowers shall pay the relevant Lending Office interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
(e) In the case of all Loans, on each day that Utilization is greater than 50%, the otherwise applicable interest rate shall be increased by the Applicable Percentage for utilization fee.

(b) The Letter of Credit Obligations set forth on Schedule B-2 hereto are outstanding under the 2002 Facility. All such Letter of Credit Obligations shall be deemed outstanding hereunder upon the Effective Date.

clauses (i) through (iv), (a) if any Covered Subsidiary of Brink's becomes a Subsidiary of BAX, BAX shall become, and Brink’s shall cease to be, jointly and severally liable for such Letter of Credit Obligations owing by such Covered Subsidiary and (b) if any Covered Subsidiary of BAX becomes a Subsidiary of Brink’s, Brink’s shall become, and BAX shall cease to be, jointly and severally liable for such Letter of Credit Obligations owing by such Covered Subsidiary.
3.02 Terms of the Letters of Credit.
(a) Performance Letters of Credit issued after the Effective Date shall not have a term exceeding one year.
(b) No Letter of Credit may expire (including all rights of renewal) later than the Termination Date, provided, however, that the Bank in its discretion may elect to, issue Letters of Credit that expire after the Termination Date, upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Bank, including without limitation, cash collateral provisions, it being understood and agreed that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all such Letters of Credit until they have expired and all related Letter of Credit Obligations have been paid in full. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the applicable Borrower will cash collateralize each Letter of Credit that remains outstanding and undrawn as of the Termination Date by deposit of immediately available funds in an amount equal to the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit in a non-interest-bearing account maintained with the Bank; provided, however, that subject to the proviso in Section 8.02, the obligation to so cash collateralize any Letter of Credit having a stated expiry date occurring after the Termination Date shall arise only upon the Bank's request to the applicable Borrower. If any Letter of Credit that is to be cash collateralized is denominated in an Approved Currency other than Dollars, the amount so deposited shall, if requested by the Bank, be the Dollar Equivalent of the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit as of the Termination Date. The Bank may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of cash collateral, require that additional cash collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations.

(a) Each Letter of Credit to be issued after the Effective Date shall be issued upon the request of a Borrower received by the Bank and any other relevant Lending Office not later than 12:00 noon (local time), three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance.
(b) Each request for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be made in writing by fax and confirmed by delivery of the original executed letter of credit application and Agreement, in the Bank's standard form or a similar form if the relevant Lending Office uses a different form (each, an "L/C Application"), not later than one (1) Business Day thereafter. Each request for issuance of a Letter of Credit and each L/C Application shall specify, among other things: (i) the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business
Day); (ii) the face amount of the Letter of Credit; (iii) the date of expiration of the Letter of Credit; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (vii) whether the Letter of Credit is to be a Financial Letter of Credit or a Performance Letter of Credit.
(c) Any request for an amendment to any previously-issued Letter of Credit shall be received by the Lending Office which issued the Letter of Credit not later than 12:00 noon (local time), unless otherwise agreed by the Lending Office, two (2) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed amendment in writing by fax. Each written request for an amendment to a previously-issued Letter of Credit made by fax shall be in the form of the relevant L/C Application signed by the relevant Borrower and, unless otherwise agreed by the Lending Office which issued the Letter of Credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02(b), shall not request an extension beyond the relevant Termination Date described in said Section. Amendments and extensions shall be at the sole discretion of the Lending Office which issued the Letter of Credit.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of any L/C Application to the contrary, in the event of any conflict between the terms of any such L/C Application and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to payment obligations, events of default, representations and warranties, and covenants, except that such L/C Application may provide for further warranties relating specifically to the transaction or affairs underlying such Letter of Credit.
3.04 Drawings and Reimbursements. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to reimburse the relevant Lending Office for each payment made by such Lending Office under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower; such reimbursement shall be due and payable on the date the relevant Lending Office makes such payment under such Letter of Credit. If such reimbursement payment is not made when due, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely made a request to the Bank for a Base Rate Loan on such date in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such draft paid, together with any fees owing to the Bank pursuant to Section 2.08(b) (to the extent such drawn amount and fees, when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Advances then outstanding and allocations then existing, do not exceed the Commitment) and, regardless of whether or not the conditions precedent specified in Article V (except 5.02(c)) have been satisfied, the Bank shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be deemed to have satisfied the related Reimbursement Obligations. Interest shall be payable on any such Base Rate Loan at the Base Rate.
3.05 Reimbursement Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrowers to reimburse the Lending Office for payments made by such Lending Office under any Letter of Credit honoring a demand for payment by the beneficiary thereunder shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances, including the following circumstances:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any L/C Application or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (collectively, the "L/C Related Documents");
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of any Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to or departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents;
(c) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Bank, any Lending Office or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;
(d) any draft, certificate, statement or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect other than if such payment resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant Lending Office;
(e) payment by the relevant Lending Office under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit other than if such payment resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant Lending Office;

(g) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any account party other than a circumstance constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the relevant Lending Office.
ARTICLE IV
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
4.01 Taxes.
(a) Payments made hereunder and under any instrument executed hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholding and similar charges ("Taxes") excluding,
in the case of the Bank, each Lending Office and each Assignee, Taxes (including franchise or receipts taxes) imposed on or in respect of its net income, capital, or receipts, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which the Bank or such Lending Office or Assignee (as the case may be) (A) is organized, (B) has its principal place of business, or (C) is, through an office or other fixed place of business, deemed to be doing business or maintaining a permanent establishment under any applicable income tax treaty (such non-excluded Taxes being "Withholding Taxes"). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Withholding Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any instrument executed hereunder, such Borrower:
(i) shall pay to the Bank, Lending Office or Assignee an additional amount so that the net amount received and retained by the Bank, Lending Office or Assignee after taking into account such Withholding Taxes (and any additional Withholding Taxes payable on account of any additional payment called for by this sentence) will equal the full amount which would have been received and retained by the Bank, Lending Office or Assignee as if no such Withholding Taxes been paid, deducted, or withheld;
(ii) shall make such deductions; and
(iii) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) Each Borrower will furnish the Bank, Lending Office or Assignee original Withholding Tax receipts, notarized copies of Withholding Tax receipts or such other appropriate documentation as will prove payment of tax in a court of law applying U.S. Federal Rules of Evidence for all Taxes paid by such Borrower pursuant to Section 4.01(a). The relevant Borrower will deliver such receipts within a reasonable period after payment of any Withholding Taxes, but in no event later than 60 days after the due date for the related Withholding Tax.
(c) If the Bank, Lending Office or Assignee is entitled to a refund or credit of Withholding Tax, it shall use reasonable efforts to pursue such refund (and interest with respect thereto), and if it receives such refund or credit, shall pay to the relevant Borrower the amount of the refund or credit (and interest with respect thereto) actually received.
(d) The Bank, Lending Office or Assignee shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies, and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its relevant Lending Office if such change would avoid or reduce any Withholding Tax; provided that no such change of jurisdiction shall be made if, in the reasonable judgment of the Bank, such Lending Office or such Assignee, such change would be disadvantageous to the Bank, such Lending Office or such Assignee, as the case may be.
(e) The Bank agrees that it will deliver to the Borrowers, within 30 days after the execution of this Agreement (unless theretofore so delivered) and as may be reasonably required from time to time by applicable law or regulation, United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN and/or W-8EC1 (or successor Forms) or such other form, if any, as from time to time may permit the Borrowers to demonstrate that payments made by the Borrowers to the Bank under this Agreement either are exempt from United States Federal Withholding Taxes or are payable at a reduced rate (if any) specified in any applicable tax treaty or convention.
4.02 Illegality.
(a) If the Bank shall determine that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Bank or any other relevant Lending Office to make LIBOR Rate Loans or to issue Letters of Credit, then, on notice thereof by the Bank to the Parent, the obligation of the Bank to make LIBOR Rate Loans or to issue Letters of Credit, as the case may be, shall be suspended until the Bank shall have notified the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.
(b) If the Bank shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, the affected Borrowers shall prepay in full all LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if the Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans, together with any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 4.04.
(c) The Bank shall immediately notify the Parent of any event described in (a) or (b) above.
4.03 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return; Additional Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans.
(a) If the Bank shall determine that, due to either (i) the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to the Bank or any Lending Office of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loans, then the relevant Borrowers shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon written request therefor by the Bank, pay to the Bank additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate the Bank or such Lending Office for such increased costs.
(b) If the Bank shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by the Bank (or other relevant Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Bank, with any Capital Adequacy Regulation affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Bank, any Lending Office or any corporation controlling the Bank and (taking into consideration the Bank's and such controlling corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy and the Bank's desired return on capital) and determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of Advances under this Agreement, then, upon written request of the Bank, the Borrowers shall immediately pay to the Bank or the relevant Lending Office, from time to time as specified by the Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank or such Lending Office for such increase.
(c) Each Borrower shall pay to the Bank, as long as the Bank shall be required under Federal Reserve Board regulations to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as "Eurocurrency liabilities"), additional costs on the unpaid principal amount of all LIBOR Rate Loans made by the Bank to such Borrower equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to each such Loan by the Bank (as determined by the Bank in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), payable on each Interest Payment Date with respect to each such Loan, provided that the Parent shall have received at least 15 days' prior written notice of such additional costs from the Bank. If the Bank fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall accrue and be payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.
(d) The Bank will notify the Parent of any event occurring after the date hereof which will entitle the Bank or any Lending Office to compensation from such Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.03 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, and will designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation. If the Bank requests compensation under this Section 4.03, the Parent may, by notice to the Bank, require that: (x) the Bank furnish to the Parent a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof or (y) the Loans of the type with respect to which such compensation is requested be either prepaid or converted into another type.
4.04 Funding Losses. Each Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank and to hold the Bank and any relevant Lending Office harmless from any loss or expense which the Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of:
(a) the failure by such Borrower to make any payment or prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan when due (including payments made after any acceleration thereof);
(b) the failure by such Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after such Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a notice of borrowing or a notice of conversion or continuation;
(c) the failure by such Borrower to make any prepayment after such Borrower has given a notice in accordance with Section 2.05;
(d) the prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; or
(e) the conversion pursuant to Section 2.03 of any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect to the LIBOR Rate Loan;
including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by any Lending Office to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
4.05 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Bank shall have determined that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan or that the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect thereto does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Bank or any relevant Lending Office of funding such Loan, the Bank will forthwith give notice of such determination to the Parent. Thereafter, the obligation of the Bank or any relevant Lending Office to make or continue LIBOR Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder, as the case may be, shall be suspended until the Bank revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice by the Parent, the relevant Borrower may revoke any notice of borrowing or notice of conversion or continuation then submitted by it. If the relevant Borrower does not revoke such notice with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Bank shall make, convert or continue the Loan, as proposed by such Borrower, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by such Borrower, but such Loan shall be made, converted or continued as a Base Rate Loan instead of a LIBOR Rate Loan.
4.06 Certificate of the Bank. If claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article IV, the Bank shall deliver to each relevant Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the Bank or any relevant Lending Office hereunder, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on each recipient Borrower in the absence of manifest error.
4.07 Survival. The agreements and obligations of the Borrowers in this Article IV shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.

No Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Plan, except for Reportable Events previously disclosed in writing to the Bank that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No accumulated funding deficiency within the meaning of Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code (whether or not waived) exists with respect to any Plan, nor does any lien under Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code exist with respect to any Plan.

Neither the Parent nor any ERISA Affiliate has failed to make any contribution to a Multiemployer Plan which is required under ERISA or an applicable collective bargaining agreement in an amount which is material in the aggregate (except to the extent there is a good faith dispute as to whether any contribution is owed, the amount owed or the existence of facts that would give rise to a withdrawal).
6.11 No Default. No Default and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
6.12 Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock.
(b) No part of the proceeds of any Advances will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose which entails a violation of, or which is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board, including, without limitation, Regulations G, U or X.
6.13 Investment Company Act. None of the Credit Parties is an "investment company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.
6.14 Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the Parent conducts an ongoing review of the effect of Environmental Laws and laws relating to occupational safety and health on the business, operations and properties of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure or restoration of properties presently or previously owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection and occupational health and safety standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contact, any related constraints on operating activities, including any periodic or permanent shutdown of any facility or reduction in the level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including employees, and any related costs and expenses). On the basis of this review, the Parent represents and warrants that applicable Environmental Laws and laws relating to occupational health and safety do not and would not have a Material Adverse Effect and it and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has obtained and holds all material permits, licenses and approvals required under Environmental Laws which are necessary for the conduct of its business and the operation of its facilities, and it has not received any written notice of any failure to be in compliance with the terms and conditions of such permits, licenses and approvals, which failure would have a Material Adverse Effect.
6.15 Priority of Debt. Each Credit Party hereby represents and warrants that all Debt created under this Agreement for which it is or may be liable ranks pari passu with all other Debt for borrowed money which such person owes or may be liable for to any Person other than the Bank.

Any Borrower or any Guarantor fails to perform or observe any other term or covenant contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and such default shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the earlier of (i) the date upon which a Responsible Officer gives written notice of such failure to the Bank or (ii) the date upon which written notice thereof is given to the Parent by the Bank;
(d) Insolvency; Voluntary Proceedings. Any Guarantor or any Borrower (i) ceases or fails to be solvent, or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due, subject to applicable grace periods, if any, whether at stated maturity or otherwise; (ii) voluntarily ceases operations as a going concern; (iii) commences any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to itself; or (iv) takes any action to effectuate or authorize any of the foregoing;
(e) Involuntary Proceedings.

One or more final (non-interlocutory) and nonappealable judgments, orders or decrees shall be entered against any Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries involving in the aggregate a liability (not fully covered by insurance) as to any single or related series of transactions, incidents or conditions that have a reasonable likelihood of having a Material Adverse Effect (which, solely for the purposes hereof, shall be deemed to mean at least $25,000,000) and the same shall remain undischarged, unvacated and unstayed pending appeal for a period of 30 days after the entry thereof;
(g) Guarantor Defaults.

(h) Guarantor Cross-Acceleration. There shall be any default under any agreement or instrument evidencing or securing Debt of any Borrower or any Guarantor (including, without limitation, Debt incurred under the Brinks' Credit Agreement), if the effect of such default is to permit the holder or holders of such Debt (or a trustee on its or their behalf) to cause, and such holder or holders (or trustee) do cause, such Debt to become due prior to its stated maturity, and the aggregate amount of such Debt so accelerated equals or exceeds $25,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof).

Any Borrower or Guarantor shall default in the payment when due, after giving effect to any grace period permitted from time to time, of any Debt (including, without limitation, Debt incurred under the JPM Credit Agreement) and the aggregate amount of such Debt is at least $25,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof).
(j) Cross Default to Subsidiary Obligations. Any Subsidiary shall default in any payment obligation to the Bank or any branch or Affiliate thereof and any such default shall continue beyond any period of grace applicable thereto and the aggregate of all such defaulted payment obligations shall be equal to or greater than $5,000,000, or any such Subsidiary shall be in material breach of any agreement between any such Subsidiary and the Bank or any branch or Affiliate thereof; and, in either event, either such condition shall continue to exist 30 days after written notice thereof is given by the Bank to the Parent.
10.02 Remedies. If any Event of Default occurs, the Bank may:
(a) declare the Commitment to be terminated, whereupon the Commitment shall forthwith be terminated;
(b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder (including all Reimbursement Obligations) or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable; without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers;
(c) exercise all rights and remedies available to it under the Loan Documents or applicable law;
(d) require the Borrowers to pay to the Bank in immediately available funds, in the respective currencies of the applicable Letter of Credit Obligations, an amount equal to the maximum amount then available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit then outstanding, for deposit in a cash collateral account maintained by the Bank, as security for the Letters of Credit then outstanding, and
(e) require the relevant Guarantors to deposit in cash collateral accounts maintained by the Bank amounts equal to any outstanding Obligations then guaranteed by such Guarantors and remaining outstanding and unterminated in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(ii).
provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 10.01(d) or Section 10.01(e) (in the case of Section 10.01(e)(i), upon the expiration of the 60-day period mentioned therein), the Commitment shall automatically terminate and the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable without further act of the Bank.

ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS
11.01 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which any Borrower or any Guarantor is party, and no consent with respect to any departure by any Borrower or any Guarantor therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Bank, the Borrowers party thereto and the Guarantors, and then such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
11.02 Notices.
(a) All notices, requests and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including, unless the context expressly otherwise provides fax) and mailed, sent by overnight delivery service or faxed, to the address or number specified for notices to the applicable party set forth on Schedule 11.02; or to such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties.
(b) All such notices, requests and other communications shall, when transmitted by overnight delivery service or fax, be effective the day after delivered to the overnight delivery service, when transmitted by fax with machine transmittal confirmation or, if transmitted by mail, upon delivery, except that notices pursuant to Article II or Article III shall not be effective until actually received by the Bank.
(c) The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Bank's agreement to receive notices, requests and other communications by fax is solely for the convenience and at the request of the Borrowers. The Bank shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to be a Person authorized by the applicable Borrower to give such communications and the Bank shall not have any liability to any Borrower or other
Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the Bank in reliance upon such fax communication. The obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Obligations shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure by the Bank to receive written confirmation of any fax communication or by the receipt by the Bank of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the Bank to be contained in the fax communication.
11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Bank, 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.
11.04 Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers shall, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated:
(a) pay or reimburse the Bank within five Business Days after demand (or on the Effective Date to the extent provided in Section 5.01(e)) for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with the development, preparation, delivery, administration and execution of, and any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to, this Agreement, any other Loan Document and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by the Bank with respect thereto; and
(b) pay or reimburse the Bank within five Business Days after demand for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies (including in connection with any "workout" or restructuring regarding the Obligations) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including reasonable counsel fees (including the allocated cost of staff counsel) incurred by the Bank.
11.05 Indemnities. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated:
(a) The Borrowers shall pay, indemnify, and hold the Bank and each of its officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each, an "Indemnified Person") harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable counsel fees, including the allocated cost of staff counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and with respect to any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement, the Loans or the Letters of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a
party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided, no Borrower shall have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the or gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person, and, provided, further, no Borrower shall have any indemnity obligation to the Bank under this Section 11.05(a) with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Bank to make an Advance notwithstanding the full satisfaction of the conditions precedent contained in Section 5.02.
(b) The obligations in this Section 11.05 shall survive payment of all other Obligations. At the election of the Borrowers, one or more Borrowers shall defend such Indemnified Person using legal counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such Person's sole discretion, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrowers, provided that no conflict between the interests of the Bank and such Borrowers exists with respect to the Indemnified Liabilities, and provided, further that no Borrower may settle any Indemnified Liability without the Bank's consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). All amounts owing under this Section 11.05 shall be paid within 30 days after demand.
(c) If any sum due from a Credit Party under this Agreement or another Loan Document or under any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto or thereto has to be converted from the currency (the "first currency") in which the same is payable hereunder or thereunder or under such order or judgment into another currency (the "second currency") for the purpose of (i) making or filing a claim or proof against such Credit Party with any Governmental Authority or in any court or tribunal or (ii) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto, such Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Persons to whom such sum is due from and against any loss actually suffered as a result of any discrepancy between (a) the rate of exchange used to convert the amount in question from the first currency into the second currency and (b) the rate or rates of exchange at which such Person, acting in good faith in a commercially reasonable manner, purchased the first currency with the second currency after receipt of a sum paid to it in the second currency in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate obligation of each Credit Party distinct from its other obligations hereunder and shall survive the giving or making of any judgment or order in relation to all or any of such other obligations.
11.06 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower nor any Guarantor may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Bank and any assignment by the Bank must be in compliance with Section 11.07.
11.07 Assignments. The Bank, with the prior written consent of the Parent, may at any time assign and delegate to one or more Persons (each an "Assignee") all, or any ratable part of all, of the Advances, the Commitment and the other rights and obligations of the Bank
hereunder; provided, however, that the Borrowers may continue to deal solely and directly with the Bank in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrowers by the Bank and the Assignee.
11.08 Confidentiality. The Bank agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information provided to it by any Guarantor, any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information for any purpose or in any manner other than pursuant to the terms contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Bank, or (ii) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Guarantor or a Borrower, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with such Guarantor or such Borrower to the knowledge of the Bank; provided further, however that the Bank may disclose such information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which the Bank is subject or in connection with an examination of the Bank by any such authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; and (D) to the Bank's independent auditors and other professional advisors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers and the Guarantors authorize the Bank to disclose to any Assignee, and to any prospective Assignee, such financial and other information in the Bank's possession concerning the Guarantors, the Borrowers or their respective Subsidiaries which has been delivered to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to the Bank by a Guarantor, a Borrower, or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Bank's credit evaluation of the Guarantors and the Borrowers prior to entering into, or upon review or renewal of, this Agreement; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Guarantors and the Borrowers, such Assignee or prospective Assignee agrees in writing to the Bank to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Bank hereunder.
11.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument.
11.10 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.
11.11 Governing Law and Jurisdiction.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE IN PERSONAM JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY NEW YORK LAW OR BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL TO SUCH PARTY'S ADDRESS FOR NOTICES PURSUANT TO SECTION 11.02.
11.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY ARE WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION 11.12 AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
11.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Borrowers, the Guarantors and the Bank, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, except that (i) the 2002 Facility shall continue in effect pursuant to its terms until the Effective Date, and (ii) that certain $20,000,000 uncommitted credit facility extended by the Bank to various subsidiaries of the Parent is hereby acknowledged to be separate and apart and shall not be affected in any way by this Agreement.
11.14 USA Patriot Act. The Bank hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26,
2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow the Bank to identify each Borrower in accordance with said Act.
11.15 Termination of Commitments under 2002 Facility. Each of the signatories hereto that is also a party to the 2002 Facility hereby agrees that, as of the Effective Date, the commitment to extend credit under the 2002 Facility will be terminated automatically. The provisions of Section 9.05 under the 2002 Facility shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the 2002 Facility or any provision hereof. This Agreement constitutes notice thereof and pursuant hereto the requirement contained in Section 2.04(a) of the 2002 Facility that three Business Days’ (as defined therein) notice of the termination of such commitments be given to the Bank is waived.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered in New York by their proper and duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
