(b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank's ratable share of such Borrowing and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower. (c) Not later than 1:30 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of each Borrowing, each Bank shall (except as provided in subsection (d) of this Section) make available its ratable share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01. Unless the Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied, the Agent will make the funds so received from the Banks available to the Borrower at the Agent's aforesaid address. (d) If any Bank makes a new Loan hereunder on a day on which the Borrower is to repay all or any part of an outstanding Loan from such Bank, such Bank shall apply the proceeds of its new Loan to make such repayment and only an amount equal to the difference (if any) between the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be made available by such Bank to the Agent as provided in subsection (c) of this Section, or remitted by the Borrower to the Agent as provided in Section 2.12, as the case may be. (e) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date of any borrowing (or, in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, prior to noon (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing) that such Bank will not make available to the Agent such Bank's share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsections (c) and (d) of this Section 2.02 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the 24 interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.05 and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank's Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. (f) The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject in each case to the provisions of Article VIII), as follows: (i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Euro-Dollar Loans as of any Euro-Dollar Business Day; and (ii) if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or elect to continue such Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, in each case effective on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loans. Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a "Notice of Interest Rate Election") to the Agent at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group and (ii) the portion to which such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each $500,000 or any larger multiple thereof. (g) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify: (i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies; (ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of subsection (f) above; (iii) if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new type of Loans and, if such new Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto; and (iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period. 25 Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period. (h) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Election to the Agent for any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans, such Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto.

(New York City time) on any Domestic Business Day, prepay on such Domestic Business Day the Group of Base Rate Loans in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $100,000 or any larger multiple thereof, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks included in such Borrowing. 30 (b) Subject to Section 2.13, the Borrower may, upon notice to the Agent not later than 11:30 A.M. (New York City time) on any Euro-Dollar Business Day, prepay on such Euro-Dollar Business Day the Loans comprising a Group of Euro-Dollar Loans in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $100,000 or any larger multiple thereof, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks included in such Group. (c) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank's ratable share of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower. SECTION 2.12. General Provisions as to Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees hereunder, not later than 1:30 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the Agent for the account of the Banks. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time. (b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. 31 SECTION 2.13. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan or any Euro-Dollar Loan is converted to a Base Rate Loan (pursuant to Article II, Section VI or VIII or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or the last day of an applicable period fixed pursuant to Section 2.05(c), or if the Borrower fails to borrow or prepay any Euro-Dollar Loans after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.02(b) or 2.11(c), the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank on demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by any existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or conversion or failure to borrow, provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. SECTION 2.14. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). SECTION 2.15. Maximum Interest Rate. (a) Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Notes shall require the Borrower to pay interest at a rate exceeding the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Neither this Section 2.15 nor Section 9.08 is intended to limit the rate of interest payable for the account of any Bank to the maximum rate permitted by the laws of the State of New York if a higher rate is permitted with respect to such Bank by supervening provisions of U.S. federal law. (b) If the amount of interest payable for the account of any Bank on any interest payment date in respect of the immediately preceding interest computation period, computed pursuant to Section 2.05, would exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Bank, the amount of interest payable for its account on such interest payment date shall be automatically reduced to such maximum permissible amount. (c) If the amount of interest payable for the account of any Bank in respect of any interest computation period is reduced pursuant to Section 2.15(b) and the amount of interest payable for its account in respect of any subsequent interest computation period, computed pursuant to Section 2.05, would be less than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Bank, then the amount of interest payable for its account in respect of such subsequent interest 32 computation period shall be automatically increased to such maximum permissible amount; provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount by which interest paid for the account of any Bank has been increased pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) exceed the aggregate amount by which interest paid for its account has theretofore been reduced pursuant to Section 2.15(b). SECTION 2.16. Letters of Credit. (a) Prior to the Effective Date, upon the request of the Borrower, the LC Bank has issued "Letters of Credit" pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement and "Bridge Letters of Credit" pursuant to the Bridge Credit Agreement. On the Effective Date, all of such "Letters of Credit" and "Bridge Letters of Credit" shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit hereunder. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the LC Bank agrees to issue letters of credit hereunder from time to time before the Termination Date upon the request of the Borrower (such letters of credit issued, collectively with the "Letters of Credit" issued pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement and the "Bridge Letters of Credit" issued pursuant to the Bridge Credit Agreement, the "Letters of Credit"); provided that, immediately after each such Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities for all Letters of Credit shall not exceed the Available LC Amount and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities for all Performance Letters of Credit shall not exceed the greater of (x) $5,000,000 and (y) the sum of $3,000,000 plus the amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities (not to exceed $4,650,000) in respect of the Harrah's LC. Upon the date of issuance by the LC Bank of a Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 2.16, the LC Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Bank, and each Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from the LC Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit and the related Letter of Credit Liabilities in proportion to its Tranche A Commitment Percentage. (b) The Borrower shall give the LC Bank at least three Domestic Business Days' prior notice (effective upon receipt) specifying the date each Letter of Credit is to be issued, and describing the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby. Upon receipt of such notice the LC Bank shall promptly notify the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank, of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Bank's participation in such proposed Letter of Credit. The issuance by the LC Bank of any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article III (the satisfaction of which the LC Bank shall have no duty to ascertain), be subject to the conditions precedent that such Letter of Credit shall be satisfactory to the LC Bank and that the Borrower shall have executed and delivered such other instruments and agreements relating to such Letter of Credit as the LC Bank shall have reasonably requested. Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date not later than one year after its date of issue; provided that no Letter of Credit shall have a term extending 33 beyond the Termination Date; and provided further that any such Letter of Credit may include an evergreen or renewal option, pursuant to which the expiry date of such Letter of Credit will be automatically extended unless notice of non-renewal is given by the LC Bank (provided that such Letter of Credit has an absolute expiry date not later than the Termination Date); and provided further that the LC Bank shall deliver notice of non-renewal at the time such notice is required to be given unless requested not to by the Borrower, which request will be treated in the same manner as a request for issuance of a new Letter of Credit on the same terms (any such Letter of Credit, an "Evergreen Letter of Credit"). (c) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent a letter of credit fee at a rate equal to 2.75% per annum on the aggregate amount available for drawings under each Letter of Credit issued from time to time, any such fee to be payable for the account of the Banks ratably in proportion to their Tranche A Commitment Percentages. Such fee shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower for so long as such Letter of Credit is outstanding and on the date of termination thereof. The Borrower shall pay to the LC Bank additional fees and expenses in the amounts and at the times as agreed between the Borrower and the LC Bank. (d) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any demand for payment or other drawing under such Letter of Credit, the LC Bank shall notify the Agent and the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each other Bank as to the amount to be paid as a result of such demand or drawing and the respective payment date. The responsibility of the LC Bank to the Borrower and each Bank shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment or other drawing) delivered under each Letter of Credit issued by it in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Letter of Credit. The LC Bank shall endeavor to exercise the same care in the issuance and administration of the Letters of Credit as it does with respect to letters of credit in which no participations are granted, it being understood that in the absence of any gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Bank, each Bank severally agrees that it shall be unconditionally and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, pro rata to the extent of such Bank's Tranche A Commitment Percentage, to reimburse the LC Bank on demand for the amount of each payment made by the LC Bank under each Letter of Credit issued by the LC Bank to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to clause (e) below together with interest on such amount for each day from the date of the LC Bank's demand for such payment (or, if such demand is made after 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such date, from the next succeeding Domestic Business Day) to the date of payment by such Bank of such amount at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day. 34 (e) The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated forthwith to reimburse the LC Bank for any amounts paid by the LC Bank upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; provided that neither the Borrower nor any Bank shall hereby be precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by the Borrower or such Bank to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Bank in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) such Bank's failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. All such amounts paid by the LC Bank and remaining unpaid by the Borrower shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to Tranche A Base Rate Loans for such day. The LC Bank will pay to each Bank, ratably in accordance with its Tranche A Commitment Percentage, all amounts received from the Borrower for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit, but only to the extent such Bank has made payment to the LC Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.16(d). (f) If after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued hereunder or participations therein, and the result shall be to increase the cost to any Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or any participation therein, or reduce any amount receivable by any Bank hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit (which increase in cost, or reduction in amount receivable, shall be the result of such Bank's reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such increases or reductions resulting from such event), then, upon demand by such Bank (which demand shall not be unreasonably delayed, provided that a demand within six months of the accrual of such increased cost or reduction in amount receivable will not be deemed to be unreasonably delayed), the Borrower agrees to pay to such Bank, from time to time as specified by such Bank, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased costs or reductions in amount incurred by such Bank. A certificate of such Bank submitted by such Bank to the Borrower shall be conclusive as to the amount thereof in the absence of manifest error. (g) The Borrower's obligations under this Section 2.16 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had 35 against the LC Bank, any Bank or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. The Borrower further agrees with the LC Bank and the Banks that the LC Bank and the Banks shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower's Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any financing institution or other party to whom any Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The LC Bank shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued, extended or renewed by it. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the LC Bank or any Bank under or in connection with each Letter of Credit and the related drafts and documents, if done in good faith and without gross negligence, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not put the LC Bank or any Bank under any liability to the Borrower. (h) To the extent not inconsistent with clause (g) above, the LC Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the LC Bank. The LC Bank shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Banks as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.16, the LC Bank shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Banks, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Banks and all future holders of participations in any Letters of Credit. (i) The Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless each Bank and the Agent from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which such Bank or the Agent may incur (or which may be claimed against such Bank or the Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which the LC Bank may incur by reason of or in 36 connection with the failure of any other Bank to fulfill or comply with its obligations to the LC Bank hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights the Borrower may have against such defaulting Bank); provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Bank or the Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Bank in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) the LC Bank's failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. Nothing in this Section 2.16(i) is intended to limit the obligations of the Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement. (j) Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Tranche A Commitment Percentage, indemnify the LC Bank, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees' gross negligence or willful misconduct or the LC Bank's failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 2.16 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder. (k) In its capacity as a Bank the LC Bank shall have the same rights and obligations as any other Bank. SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) For purposes of this Section, the following terms have the following meanings: "Taxes" means any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings with respect to any payment by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or under any Note, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Bank and the Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by a jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or in which its principal executive office is located or, in the case of each Bank, in which its Applicable Lending Office is located and (ii) in the case of each Bank, any United States withholding tax imposed on such payments but only to the extent that such Bank is subject to United States withholding tax at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement. 37 "Other Taxes" means any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or similar charges or levies, which arise from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note. (b) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Bank or the Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made without deduction for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from any such payments, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.17) paid by such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be paid within 15 days after such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor. (d) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Agent with Internal Revenue Service form 1001 or 4224, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Bank is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which exempts the Bank from United States withholding tax or reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest for the account of such Bank or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. If the form provided by a Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from "Taxes" as defined in subsection (a) of this Section. 38 (e) For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Borrower or the Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 2.17(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which such form originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.17(b) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that if a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes. (f) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 2.17, then such Bank will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if, in the judgment of such Bank, such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

SECTION 4.02. Corporate and Governmental Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of the Financing Documents to which it is a party are within its corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of such Obligor or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon such Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, except Liens created by the Collateral Documents, on any asset of such Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries. SECTION 4.03. Binding Effect; Liens of Collateral Documents. (a) Each of the Financing Documents (other than the Notes and the Warrants) to which the Borrower is a party constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Borrower and the Notes and the Warrants, when executed and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, in each case enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. Each of the Financing Documents to which any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party, when executed and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding agreements of each Subsidiary Guarantor party thereto, in each case enforceable against each such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with their respective terms. (b) The Borrower has reserved and will keep available for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants the total number of shares of common stock of the 45 Borrower that shall be deliverable upon exercise of all Warrants from time to time outstanding.

(c) All real property in which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has an interest, directly or indirectly (whether through an interest in a joint venture or partnership or otherwise) as of the date hereof is listed in Part I of Schedule 4.03(c) hereto. The list of personal property of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries set forth in Part II of Schedule 4.03(c), security interests in which are governed by Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in the relevant jurisdictions, is complete in all material respects. The location, ownership status and lien information provided in Schedule 4.03(c) for each item of real property and each type of personal property are complete and correct. (d) The Collateral Documents create valid security interests in, and first mortgage Liens on, the Collateral purported to be covered thereby, which security interests and mortgage Liens are and will remain perfected (except in the case of inventory located at construction sites) security interests and duly recorded mortgage Liens, prior to all other Liens except Liens permitted by the Collateral Documents. SECTION 4.04. Financial Information. (a) The consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, reported on by Arthur Andersen LLP and set forth in the Borrower's 1995 Form 10-K, a copy of which has been delivered to each of the Banks, fairly present, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such fiscal year.

(c) Since June 30, 1996 there has been no material adverse change in the business, financial position, results of operations or prospects of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole. SECTION 4.05. Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Borrower's 1995 Form 10-K and the Form 10-Q referred to in Section 4.04(b) above, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened against or affecting, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could materially adversely affect the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries or which in any manner draws into question the validity of any Financing Document. SECTION 4.06. Compliance with ERISA. Each member of the ERISA Group has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan. No member of the ERISA Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to make any contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or in respect of any Benefit Arrangement, or made any amendment to any Plan or Benefit Arrangement, which has resulted or could result in the imposition of a Lien or the posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code or (iii) incurred any liability to the PBGC or any other Person under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA. SECTION 4.07. Environmental Matters. (a) In the ordinary course of its business, the Borrower conducts periodic reviews of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and compliance therewith. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries also attempt, whenever possible, to negotiate specific provisions in contracts for construction services that allocate to the contracting governmental agency or private owner, the entire risk and responsibility for Hazardous Substances encountered during the course of construction. On the basis of such reviews and contract provisions and procedures, the Borrower has reasonably concluded that the costs and associated liabilities of compliance with Environmental Laws are unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial 47 condition, results of operations or prospects of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole. (b) Without limiting the foregoing, as of the Effective Date: (i) no notice, notification, demand, request for information, citation, summons, complaint or order has been issued, no complaint has been filed, no penalty has been assessed and no investigation or review is pending or, to the knowledge of the Obligors, threatened by any governmental or other entity with respect to any (A) alleged violation by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Environmental Law involving any Mortgaged Facility, (B) alleged failure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to have any environmental permit, certificate, license, approval, registration or authorization required in connection with the conduct of its business at any Mortgaged Facility, (C) Regulated Activity conducted at any Mortgaged Facility or (D) Release of Hazardous Substances at or in connection with any Mortgaged Facility; (ii) other than generation of Hazardous Substances in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, no Regulated Activity has occurred at or on any Mortgaged Facility; (iii) no polychlorinated biphenyls, radioactive material, urea formaldehyde, lead, asbestos, asbestos-containing material or underground storage tank (active or abandoned) is or has been present at any Mortgaged Facility; (iv) no Hazardous Substance has been Released (and no written notification of such Release has been filed) or is present (whether or not in a reportable or threshold planning quantity) at, on or under any Mortgaged Facility; (v) no Mortgaged Facility is listed or, to the knowledge of the Obligors, proposed for listing, on the National Priorities List promulgated pursuant to CERCLA, on CERCLIS (as defined in CERCLA) or on any similar federal, state or foreign list of sites requiring investigation or clean-up; and (vi) there are no Liens under Environmental Laws on any Mortgaged Facility, no government actions have been taken or are in process which could subject any Mortgaged Property to such Liens and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries would be required to place any notice or restriction relating to Hazardous Substances in any deed to any Mortgaged Facility. 48 (c) No environmental investigation, study, audit, test, review or other analysis has been conducted of which the Obligors have knowledge in relation to any Mortgaged Facility which has not been delivered to the Banks. SECTION 4.08. Taxes. United States Federal income tax returns of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have been examined and closed through the fiscal year ended December 31, 1989. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower or any Subsidiary. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate. SECTION 4.09.

(b) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is party to any Derivatives Obligation except the Rincon Swap. 49 (c) All agreements to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound (other than the Financing Documents) containing a negative pledge or limitations on its incurrence of Debt or sale of assets are listed on Schedule 4.11 hereto.

The Borrower has disclosed to the Banks in writing any and all facts which materially and adversely affect or may reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (to the extent the Borrower can now reasonably foresee), the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations under this Agreement. SECTION 4.13. Ownership of Property; Liens. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to and are in lawful possession of, or have valid leasehold interests in, or have the right to use pursuant to valid and enforceable agreements or arrangements, all of their respective properties and other assets (real or personal, tangible, intangible or mixed), except where the failure to have or possess the same with respect to such properties or other assets could not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole. None of such properties or other assets is subject to any Lien except Permitted Liens. SECTION 4.14. Representations and Warranties Incorporated from Other Financing Documents.

If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Dollar Loan: (a) the Agent is advised by the Reference Banks that deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to the Reference Banks in the relevant market for such Interest Period, or (b) Banks having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of the Commitments advise the Agent that the Adjusted Euro-Dollar Rate, as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding their Euro-Dollar Loans for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Dollar Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Euro-Dollars Loans shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Euro-Dollar Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the Agent at least two Domestic Business Days before the date of any Euro-Dollar Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing. SECTION 8.02. Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it 71 unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans and such Bank shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to convert outstanding Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, each Euro-Dollar Loan of such Bank then outstanding shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan (and the Borrower shall contemporaneously pay accrued interest on such Euro-Dollar Loan to the date of conversion) either (a) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Euro-Dollar Loan if such Bank may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day or (b) immediately if such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day. SECTION 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: (i) shall subject any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Euro-Dollar Loans, its Note or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on its Euro-Dollar Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Euro-Dollar Loans or its obligation to make Euro- Dollar Loans (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Bank or its Applicable Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Bank's principal executive office or Applicable Lending Office is located); or (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve 72 Percentage), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Euro-Dollar Loans, its Note or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Euro-Dollar Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction. (b) If any Bank shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank's obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction. (c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 73 SECTION 8.04. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro- Dollar Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make or maintain Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03(a) and the Borrower shall, by at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days' prior notice to such Bank through the Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist: (a) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as (or continued as or converted into) Euro-Dollar Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks), and (b) after each of its Euro-Dollar Loans has been repaid (or converted to a Base Rate Loan), all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Euro-Dollar Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead. ARTICLE IX MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 9.01. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telex, facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party: (x) in the case of the Borrower or the Agent, at its address or telex or facsimile number set forth on the signature pages hereof, (y) in the case of any Bank, at its address or telex or facsimile number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or (z) in the case of any party, such other address or telex or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Agent and the Borrower. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telex, when such telex is transmitted to the telex number specified in this Section and the appropriate answerback is received, (ii) if given by facsimile transmission, when such facsimile is transmitted to the facsimile number specified in this Section and receipt of such facsimile is confirmed, either orally or in writing, by the party receiving such transmission, (iii) if given by certified mail, 72 hours after such communication is deposited in the mails with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid or (iv) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in this Section; provided that notices to the Agent under Article II shall not be effective until received. 74 SECTION 9.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege under any Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies therein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Documentary Taxes; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, including fees and disbursements of special counsel for the Agent, any firm of independent public accountants, financial advisors and other experts retained by the Agent in connection with the preparation of the Financing Documents, any waiver or consent under any Financing Document, any amendment of any Financing Document or any Default or alleged Default or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Documents (provided that, except in the case of fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the preparation of the Financing Documents, any waiver or consent under any Financing Document, any amendment of any Financing Document or any Default or alleged Default, all of which shall be paid by the Borrower, the Borrower shall not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of any firm of independent public accounts, financial advisors and other experts retained by the Agent (other than special counsel for the Agent, whose fees and expenses shall not be limited by this parenthetical) to the extent such fees and disbursements exceed, in the aggregate: (i) $60,000 during the period from the Effective Date until the first anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) $50,000 during any period of twelve consecutive calendar months after the first anniversary of the Effective Date); and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and each Bank, including fees and disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel and disbursements of internal counsel), in connection with such Event of Default and any collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom. The Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against any transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any governmental authority by reason of the execution and delivery of any Financing Document. (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Bank, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an "Indemnitee") and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel and disbursements of internal counsel), which may be incurred by any Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of any 75 Financing Document or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for such Indemnitee's own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind (including without limitation reasonable expenses of investigation by engineers, environmental consultants and similar technical personnel and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel including allocated costs of internal counsel and disbursements of internal counsel) of any Indemnitee arising out of, in respect of or in connection with any and all Environmental Liabilities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby waives all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses arising under or related to Environmental Laws that it might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. SECTION 9.04. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount due with respect to any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation owed to it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate amount due with respect to any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation owed to such other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owed to the other Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments with respect to the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owed to the Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; provided that (i) nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of setoff or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness hereunder and (ii) nothing in any Financing Documents shall require any Bank to share any payments and distributions received by such Bank if such payments and distributions were made in respect of any obligations (including without limitation Other Reimbursement Obligations and Other Mortgage/Lease Obligations) not constituting Loans or Reimbursement Obligations. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 76 SECTION 9.05. Amendments and Waivers. (a) Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Agent or the LC Bank are affected thereby, by the Agent or the LC Bank, as the case may be); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all the Banks, (i) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks), (ii) amend Section 2.10 or 5.12(b)(iii), (iii) subject any Bank to any additional obligation, (iv) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, (v) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan, any Reimbursement Obligation or any fees hereunder or for termination or reduction of any Commitment, (vi) reinstate the Commitments or cause the Notes to be no longer immediately due and payable after the Commitments shall have been terminated and the Notes shall have become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 6.01, (vii) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes, or change the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section 9.05 or any other provision of any Financing Documents, (viii) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, (ix) amend Section 9.04, 9.05 or 9.06 hereof or (x) notwithstanding any provision of any Collateral Document to the contrary, modify any definition of Collateral in any Financing Document or release any item of Collateral from any Lien provided by any Collateral Document except for the sale or other disposition of such item by the Agent in the exercise of its rights as provided therein as in effect on the Effective Date (provided that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or the Agent has received written notice from the Borrower or any Bank of the existence of any Default, the Agent may release any item of Collateral at the request of the Borrower, without the consent of any Banks if (A) such release is required in connection with any Disposition of such Collateral, (B) such Collateral is listed on the Asset Sale Letter and the consideration therefor is cash in an amount at least equal to the minimum cash price shown on the Asset Sale Letter and (C) such Disposition is in accordance with and permitted by the terms hereof (including without limitation Sections 2.10(c) and 5.12(b)). (b) Without limiting the effect of Section 9.05(a), the Borrower may, at any time prior to commencement of a voluntary Bankruptcy Proceeding by Perini Land and Development or any Subsidiary of Perini Land and Development (an "Affected Subsidiary"), request from the Banks a waiver of any resulting Event of Default. Such request shall be by written notice accompanied by such relevant information as shall enable the Banks and the Agent to evaluate such request. Upon receipt of such request and such information, the Banks and the Agent will promptly evaluate the potential consequences of such Bankruptcy Proceeding. If, based on their evaluation, the Required Banks and the Agent conclude that commencement and continuation of such voluntary Bankruptcy Proceeding will not have an adverse impact 77 on the Banks' interests, the Banks shall promptly so notify the Borrower in writing. Upon receipt of such notification, the Event of Default which would otherwise result from the commencement of such voluntary Bankruptcy Proceeding by such Affected Subsidiary shall be deemed waived, provided that such voluntary Bankruptcy Proceeding has not been commenced prior to such notification and is commenced within 30 days after such notification. If for any reason such voluntary Bankruptcy Proceeding is not commenced with respect to such Affected Subsidiary during such 30-day period, the Borrower may thereafter at any time again request from the Banks a waiver with respect to such Affected Subsidiary or any other Affected Subsidiary pursuant to the foregoing procedures. The effect of delivery by the Banks of any such notification shall be limited as set forth above and shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right, remedy or event of default under any Financing Documents. The Borrower will reimburse the Banks and the Agent for any out-of-pocket expenses they may incur in connection with conducting any evaluation referred to above (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and financial professionals) and will, at its own expense, provide to the Banks and the Agent such information as the Agent may request in order to facilitate such evaluation (including, without limitation, satisfactory opinions of counsel to the Borrower). SECTION 9.06. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Banks. (b) Any Bank may at any time grant to one bank or other institution (a "Participant") a participating interest in its Commitment and its Loans in the full amount of its Commitment. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 9.05 without the consent of the Participant. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection 78 (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b). (c) Any Bank may assign to one or more banks, financial institutions or "accredited investors" (as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended as of the Effective Date) (each an "Assignee") all or any part (subject to the proviso below) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit M, executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank with the subscribed consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that (i) if an Assignee is an affiliate of such transferor Bank or another Bank, no such consent shall be required, (ii) unless the Assignee is an affiliate of such transferor Bank, the Assignee is another Bank or the assignment shall be for all of the transferor Bank's rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement, the assignment must be of at least an aggregate $5,000,000 of the transferor Bank's Commitments and (iii) any assignment of part of any Bank's rights and obligations shall include equally proportionate parts of such Bank's Tranche A Commitment and Tranche B Commitment. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Bank, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required or requested by the Assignee, a new Note is issued to the Assignee. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Bank or the Assignee, as agreed between them, shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $2,500. (d) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank (i.e., an agency of the Federal government known as a "Federal Reserve Bank"). No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder. SECTION 9.07. Certain Collateral. Each of the Banks represents to the Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any "margin stock" (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement. 79 SECTION 9.08. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. The Borrower hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. SECTION 9.09. Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE OBLIGORS, THE AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. SECTION 9.11. Other Reimbursement Obligations. The execution of this Agreement and any other documents, agreements or instruments in connection herewith does not constitute a waiver or amendment of any term or condition of any documents, agreements or instruments evidencing or otherwise delivered in connection with the Other Reimbursement Obligations or the Other Mortgage/Lease Obligations. No Bank shall have any rights or obligations under any such documents, agreements or instruments unless party thereto and as set forth therein. Nothing in any Financing Documents requires any Bank to obtain any consent from any other Bank in taking actions permitted to be taken in accordance with the terms and conditions of any documents, agreements or instruments evidencing or otherwise delivered in connection with the Other Reimbursement Obligations or Other Mortgage/Lease Obligations to which it is a party, or in omitting to take any such actions. SECTION 9.12. Consent to Subordinate Mortgage. Harris Trust and Savings Bank hereby consents to the execution, delivery and recordation of the Mortgage Amendment relating to the Mortgaged Facility described as Item 12 in Part I of Schedule 4.03(c). 80 SECTION 9.13. Consent to Execution and Delivery of Certain Financing Documents. Each of the Banks consents to, and authorizes the Agent to execute and deliver, the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, the Borrower Pledge Agreement, the Borrower Security Agreement, the Subsidiary Pledge Agreement, the Subsidiary Security Agreement and the Mortgage Amendments. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
