Section 2.02. Making the Advances.(a) Initial Borrowings. The initial Borrowings hereunder shall be made on the Closing Date and shall be made on notice received by the Agent from the Borrower (pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing) not later than 12:00 noon (Dallas, Texas time) (or such later time as the Agent may agree) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing 23 Date. Such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable upon receipt by the Agent. Each Lender shall, before 12:00 noon (Dallas, Texas time) on the Closing Date, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent such Lender's ratable share of such Borrowings by depositing same day funds in the Agent's Account. (b) Subsequent Revolving Borrowings. Each Revolving Borrowing occurring after the Closing Date shall be made on notice received by the Agent from the Borrower (pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing) not later than 12:00 noon. (Dallas, Texas time) (a) on the Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing if such Borrowing consists of Base Rate Advances, and (b) on the third Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing if such Borrowing consists of Eurodollar Rate Advances. Each such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable upon receipt by the Agent and, in the case of any Notice of Borrowing for Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified by such Notice of Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2.02 or Article IV, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as a part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. (c) Swing Line Borrowings. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made on notice received by the Agent from the Borrower (pursuant to a Notice of Swing Line Borrowing) not later than 1:30 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on the date of such Borrowing. Each such Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall be irrevocable upon receipt by the Agent. (d) Advances by Lenders. If the Agent receives a Notice of Borrowing, or a Notice of Swing Line Borrowing (or if the Agent gives a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(f)) the Agent shall promptly on the Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing or, if such Borrowing consists of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the third Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing) give each Lender notice of such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Swing Line Borrowing. Each Lender shall (i) before 12:00 noon (Dallas, Texas time) on the date of such Borrowing in the case of any Revolving Borrowing to be made on such date, or (ii) before 4:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on the date of such Borrowing in the case of a Swing Line Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent such Lender's ratable portion of such Borrowing by depositing same day funds in the Agent's Account. Unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Revolving Lender prior to the date of any Revolving Borrowing hereunder that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender's ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such ratable portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with the terms hereof and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, but shall not be required to, make available to or for the account of the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Agent and the Agent makes such ratable portion available to the Borrower, such Lender and the Borrower, without prejudice to any rights or remedies that the Borrower may have against such Lender, severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount 24 together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to or for the account of the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (A) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing, and (B) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Agent such amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Advance as part of the relevant Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement and, to the extent that the Borrower previously paid such amount to the Agent, the Agent will refund to the Borrower such amount so paid, but without interest. (e) Disbursement of Advances. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV (which fulfillment the Agent may assume in the absence of actual knowledge, or notice received from the Borrower or the Required Lenders, to the contrary), the Agent will make funds for any Borrowing available to the Borrower by crediting the Borrower's Account (or to such other accounts as may be designated from time to time in writing by the Borrower to the Agent and approved by the Agent in writing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld)), subject to the Agent's receipt of funds from the Lenders, and provided that the Agent shall first make a portion of such funds equal to any outstanding L/C Advance under any Letter of Credit, and any interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such date, available to the applicable Issuing Bank for reimbursement of such L/C Advance and payment of such interest. (f) Settlement of Swing Line Advances. (i) The Agent may, and upon request by the Swing Line Lender the Agent shall, at any time and from time to time, give to the Revolving Lenders and the Borrower a Notice of Borrowing for a Borrowing of Revolving Advances which are Base Rate Advances on behalf of the Borrower, in each case in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Swing Line Advances then owing by the Borrower (or such lesser amount as the Agent or the Swing Line Lender shall specify), and the proceeds of which are to be used to prepay such Swing Line Advances on the date of such Borrowing. Upon receipt of any such Notice of Borrowing, each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) shall (subject to Section 2.02(f)(iv)), on or before the time specified by the Agent (which in no event shall be earlier than 11:00 a.m. nor later than 4:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on the Business Day following the date on which such Notice of Borrowing is given), make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing by depositing same day funds in the Agent's Account. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, (A) the proceeds of any such Borrowing shall be distributed by the Agent to the Swing Line Lender (subject to Section 2.02(f)(iv)) as a prepayment of all or a portion of the then outstanding Swing Line Advances, and (B) the outstanding Swing Line Advances of the Swing Line Lender, in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Advances to be prepaid on such date, shall be deemed to be prepaid with the proceeds of a Revolving Advance made by the Swing Line Lender and such portion of the Swing Line Advances deemed to be so prepaid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Advances but shall be outstanding as Revolving Advances made by the Swing Line Lender. 25 (ii) In addition to the right of the Swing Line Lender to require a Borrowing under Section 2.02(f)(i), the Swing Line Lender may at any time and from time to time request (by notice to the Agent and the Borrower) the Agent to, and upon receipt of such request the Agent shall, make demand on each Lender for payment of its participation in each Swing Line Advance then outstanding, and upon receipt of any such demand each Lender shall (subject to Section 2.02(f)(iv)) promptly fund such participation by paying to the Agent, for the ratable account of the Swing Line Lender (subject to Section 2.02(f)(iv)), the amount of such participation in same day funds. With respect to each such participation in the Swing Line Advance which is funded by any Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall promptly pay to the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender, in lawful money of the United States and in the kind of funds so received, an amount equal to such Lender's ratable share of all payments received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of (A) the principal of such Swing Line Advance, and (B) interest on such Swing Line Advance for the period from and after the date on which such participation was funded. If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender on account of the Swing Line Advance and distributed to any Lender as a participant under the preceding sentence is thereafter recovered from the Swing Line Lender in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding relating to the Borrower or otherwise, each Lender which received such distribution shall, upon demand by the Swing Line Lender through the Agent, repay to the Swing Line Lender such Lender's ratable share of the amount so recovered together with such Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (1) the amount of such Lender's required prepayment to (2) the total amount so recovered) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Swing Line Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation in the Swing Line Advance from the Swing Line Lender hereunder may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. (iii) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding (but subject to Section 2.02(f)(iv) below), the obligation of each Lender to make any Revolving Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(f)(i) or to fund its participation in any Swing Line Advances pursuant to Section 2.02(f)(ii) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to any conditions set forth in Article IV hereof or otherwise affected by any circumstance including, without limitation, (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender or any Loan Party; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any Loan Party; (D) any breach of any Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Lender Party; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. (iv) Notwithstanding Section 2.02(f)(iii) above, if at the time that any Lender is required to make any Revolving Advance or fund any participation pursuant to Section 2.02(f)(i) or (ii) above, the Borrower would not otherwise be entitled to obtain a Borrowing as a result of the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Article IV hereof, the obligation of each Lender to make any such Revolving Advance or to fund any such participation with respect to any 26 Swing Line Advance owing to the Swing Line Lender shall be subject to the condition that at least one of the following is true: (A) the Swing Line Lender shall have believed in good faith that all conditions under Article IV to the making of such Swing Line Advance were satisfied at the time such Swing Line Advance was made, or (B) such Lender shall have had actual knowledge, by receipt of the statements required pursuant to Section 6.03 or otherwise, that any such condition had not been satisfied and failed to notify the Swing Line Lender and the Agent in writing that it had no obligation to make Revolving Advances until such condition was satisfied (which notice shall be effective as of the date of receipt by the Swing Line Lender and the Agent), or (C) the satisfaction of any such condition not satisfied shall have been waived by the Required Lenders prior to or at the time such Swing Line Advance was made. Anything contained in this Section 2.02(f) to the contrary notwithstanding, the amount to be distributed by the Agent to the Swing Line Lender under this Section 2.02(f) shall be reduced to the extent that any Lender shall refuse to fund its portion of any Revolving Advance or participation with respect to the Swing Line Lender as a result of the failure of the conditions set forth above. (v) The Borrower irrevocably authorizes (A) the Agent to give any Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(f)(i) (with a copy to the Borrower), (B) the Lenders to make the Revolving Advances pursuant to such Notice of Borrowing, and (C) the Agent to distribute the proceeds thereof as provided herein. (g) Nature of Lenders' Obligations. The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

(c) Interest on Eurodollar Rate Advances. The Borrower may from time to time, on the condition that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.06(b) and 2.06(e), elect to pay interest on all or any portion of any Advances during any Interest Period therefor at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Advances plus the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Advances in effect from time to time, by notice, specifying the amount of the Advances as to which such election is made (which amount shall aggregate at least $5,000,000 or any multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) and the first day and duration of such Interest Period, received by the Agent before 12:00 noon (Dallas, Texas time) three Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance made by such Lender will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of such Lender to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended (and such Lender shall make its portion of any Borrowing available as a Base Rate Advance) until the Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. (ii) Other Circumstances. If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, (A) the Administrative Agent shall determine in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive) that the Eurodollar Rate cannot be determined in accordance with the definition thereof, or (B) the Required Lenders notify the Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. (iii) Suspension on Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended. Section 2.07. Fees. (a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent a commitment fee on the average daily amount of each Lender's Revolving 32 Commitment less the sum of (i) Revolving Advances made by such Lender and outstanding from time to time, (ii) such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding from time to time, and (iii) in the case of the Swing Line Lender only, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Advances, for the account of such Lender, from the Closing Date in the case of each Initial Lender and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, at the rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing June 30, 1998 and, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. (b) Agent's Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for its own account, (i) the fees in the amounts and at the times set forth in the letter dated February 10, 1998 from NationsBank and the Arranger, to the Borrower, and agreed to and accepted by the Borrower on February 10, 1998, and (ii) such other fees as may from time to time be agreed between the Borrower and the Agent. (c) Absolute Obligation. The Borrower's obligation hereunder to pay the fees referred to in this Section 2.07 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall survive the making and repayment of Advances, the termination of all Letter of Credit Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. All fees which are due or become due pursuant to this Section 2.07 are nonrefundable. Section 2.08. Increased Costs, Etc. (a) Increased Costs. If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation 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), in any case occurring on or after the Closing Date, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender Party of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining Letters of Credit (or of agreeing to purchase or purchasing participations therein) or of agreeing to make or of making or maintaining L/C Advances (or of agreeing to purchase or purchasing participations therein), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, each Lender Party agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 33 (b) Capital Requirements. If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation 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), in any case occurring on or after the Closing Date, there shall be any increase in the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party as a result of or based upon the existence of such Lender Party's commitment to lend or to issue or purchase participations in Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or the issuance or maintenance of the Letters of Credit (or similar contingent obligations), then, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party's commitment to lend or to issue Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of any Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (c) Limitations on Borrower's Compensation Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be obligated to make any payment to any Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.08 in respect of any amounts or costs accruing in or allocable to any period prior to the 90th day preceding written demand by such Lender Party for payment therefor (unless such amounts or costs prior to such 90th day period result from the retroactive effect of any of the events described in the foregoing Sections 2.08(a) or 2.08(b) giving rise to such written demand and which occurred during such 90 day period). Section 2.09. Payments and Computations. (a) Payments by Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under any other Loan Document to which it is a party, irrespective of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff, in lawful money of the United States and in same day funds delivered to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on the day when due by deposit of such funds to the Agent's Account. Any payment so delivered to the Agent after 1:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on any Business Day, or on any day which is not a Business Day, shall be deemed received by the Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. The Agent will promptly after receipt of each payment cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest, commitment fees or letter of credit fees ratably to each Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender or any Issuing Bank (including payments with respect to Letters of Credit and payments for the account of any Lender under Sections 2.08, 2.10 or 9.04(c)) to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office or to such Issuing Bank, in each case to be applied in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Agreement, including Section 2.09(e) below. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register 34 pursuant to Section 9.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. (b) Computations. All computations of interest in respect of Base Rate Advances (and in respect of any other amount payable hereunder other than interest in respect of Eurodollar Rate Advances and Letter of Credit fees and commissions) and all computations in respect of commitment fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as applicable, and all computations of interest in respect of Eurodollar Rate Advances and all computations in respect of Letter of Credit fees and commissions shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable; provided that if any Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day's interest shall be paid on such Advance. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate, fee, commission or discount rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (c) Payments Assumed. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders or any Issuing Bank 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, but shall not be required to, cause to be distributed to each Lender or such Issuing Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due to such Lender or such Issuing Bank. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender and Issuing Bank shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank until the date such Lender or Issuing Bank repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. (d) Application of Payments Specified by the Borrower. Except as otherwise specified herein, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments shall be applied as instructed by the Borrower (except that, unless the Agent otherwise consents, outstanding Swing Line Advances shall be prepaid before prepayment of any Revolving Advances) if such instructions are received by the Agent prior to or contemporaneously with receipt of funds therefor. (e) Application of Payments Not Otherwise Specified. If the Agent receives funds for application to the Advances or any Letter of Credit Obligations or other Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Advances or the Facility or the Obligations to which, or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the Agent may elect to distribute such funds first, to the Issuing Banks ratably in payment of the principal of and interest on any outstanding L/C Advances, second, to the payment of the outstanding Swing Line Advances and 35 interest thereon, third, to each Lender ratably in accordance with such Lender's proportionate share of all Advances (other than Swing Line Advances) then outstanding, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Advances (other than Swing Line Advances), and for application to such principal installments, as the Agent may direct, and thereafter ratably to the Lenders in repayment or prepayment of any other Obligations of the Borrower then outstanding under the Loan Documents as the Agent shall direct, provided that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders and the Swing Line Commitment of the Swing Line Lender have been terminated in full, the Agent shall distribute any payments and any proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization or liquidation of any Collateral first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of the Agent under the Loan Documents, second, to the Issuing Banks ratably in payment of the principal of and interest on any outstanding L/C Advances, third, to the payment of the outstanding Swing Line Advances and interest thereon, and fourth, to each Lender ratably in accordance with such Lender's proportionate share of the principal amount of all Advances (other than Swing Line Advances) and Letter of Credit Obligations then outstanding, in payment or prepayment of such Obligations owed to such Lender under the Loan Documents, and for application to such principal installments (if applicable) as the Agent shall direct. (f) Payments on Business Days. Whenever any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest and commitment and other fees; provided, however, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurodollar Rate Advance to be made in the next following month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. (g) Certain Terms. The terms "pay", "paid" or "payment" under this Agreement shall include prepay, prepaid or prepayment, respectively, under this Agreement, and the term "due" under this Agreement shall include due by reason of a mandatory prepayment (including upon an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower or any Guarantor under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or upon acceleration). Section 2.10. Taxes. (a) Withholding Taxes. Subject to Section 2.10(f), any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.09, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender Party and the Agent, net income taxes that are imposed by the United States and franchise taxes and net income taxes that are imposed on such Lender Party or the Agent by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender Party or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender Party, franchise taxes and net income taxes that are imposed on such Lender Party by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender Party's Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, 36 deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender Party or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.10) such Lender Party 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 and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. (b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes"). (c) Indemnification. Subject to Section 2.10(f), the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender Party and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.10, paid by such Lender Party or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender Party or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. (d) Evidence of Payment. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original receipt of payment thereof or a certified copy of such receipt. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes by the Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or on behalf of the Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if the Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms "United States" and "United States person" shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. (e) Foreign Lenders and Issuing Banks. Each Lender Party organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request in writing by the Borrower or the Agent (but only so long thereafter as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), provide the Agent and the Borrower with Internal Revenue Service form 1001 or 4224, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from or is entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments under this Agreement or the Notes. If the form provided by a Lender Party at the time 37 such Lender Party 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 unless and until such Lender Party provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided, however, that, if at the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender Party assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender Party assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent and only to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender Party assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this Section 2.10(e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form 1001 or 4224, that the Lender Party reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender Party shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information. (f) Failure to Provide Forms. For any period with respect to which a Lender Party has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in Section 2.10(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided or if such form otherwise is not required under Section 2.10(e)), such Lender Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Lender Party become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender Party shall reasonably request to assist such Lender Party to recover such Taxes. (g) Change of Applicable Lending Office. Any Lender Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party. (h) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.10 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder and under the Notes. Section 2.11. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender Party shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the 38 Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all the Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all the Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender Parties such participations in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party, such purchase from each other Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such other Lender Party's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender Party's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender Party's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender Party so purchasing a participation from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.11 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. Section 2.12. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) to repay in full all amounts outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement, to redeem the Existing Senior Notes, to provide working capital for, and finance capital expenditures by, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Section 2.13. Evidence of Debt. (a) Maintenance of Accounts by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. (b) Maintenance of Accounts by Agent. The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender Party, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Interest Type of the Advances comprising such Borrowing and any Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered 39 to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender Party hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender Party's share thereof. The entries made in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. ARTICLE III. AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF LETTERS OF CREDIT Section 3.01. The Letter of Credit Subfacility. The Borrower may request any Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to Issue, and any such Lender may, if in its sole discretion it elects to do so, and the L/C Bank shall, if no other Lender elects to do so, Issue standby Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period after the Closing Date until 30 days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date (a) in an aggregate Available Amount for all Letters of Credit (including the Existing Letters of Credit) not to exceed at any time $25,000,000 (the "Letter of Credit Subfacility"), and (b) in an Available Amount for each such Letter of Credit not to exceed the Unused Revolving Commitments of the Lenders on such Business Day. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of the Borrower or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than 30 days before the Termination Date and one year after the date of issuance thereof (but a Letter of Credit may, by its terms, be renewable annually with the consent of the Issuing Bank). As of the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder and shall, for purposes of Section 3.05, be deemed to be Issued hereunder on the Closing Date. Within the limits of the Letter of Credit Subfacility, and subject to the limits referred to above, the Borrower may request the Issuance of one or more Letters of Credit under this Section 3.01, repay amounts due resulting from L/C Advances thereunder pursuant to Section 3.03, and request the Issuance of one or more additional Letters of Credit under this Section 3.01. Section 3.02. Issuance of Letters of Credit. (a) Notice of Issuance. Each Letter of Credit shall be Issued pursuant to a Notice of Issuance, which must be received by the Agent and the Issuing Bank not later than 12:00 noon (Dallas, Texas time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Issuance of such Letter of Credit (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank). Each such Notice of Issuance shall specify the requested (i) date of such Issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (iii) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (iv) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, and (v) form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such customary application and agreement for letter of credit of the Issuing Bank (a "Letter of Credit Agreement") as the Issuing Bank may specify to the Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit. 40 (b) Conditions to Issuance. If (i) the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to the Agent and the Issuing Bank in the reasonable discretion of each, (ii) in the case of any Issuing Bank other than the L/C Bank, such Issuing Bank elects in its sole discretion to Issue the requested Letter of Credit, and (iii) such Issuing Bank has not received notice from the Agent or the Required Lenders that the Issuance of such Letter of Credit is not authorized because such Issuance would not comply with the requirements of clause (a) or (b) of Section 3.01 or one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 has not been satisfied, then such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (which fulfillment such Issuing Bank may assume in the absence of actual knowledge, or notice received from the Borrower, the Agent or the Required Lenders, to the contrary) and subject to the provisions of this Article III, make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at its office referred to in Section 9.02 or as otherwise agreed upon with the Borrower in connection with such Issuance. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. (c) Reports by Issuing Banks. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish to the Agent (i) on the fifth Business Day of each month a written report summarizing Issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit Issued by such Issuing Bank during the preceding month and L/C Advances during such month under all Letters of Credit Issued by such Issuing Bank, and (ii) two Business Days prior to the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit Issued by such Issuing Bank. Section 3.03. Drawing and Reimbursement. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit, within one Business Day after it has notice of any L/C Advance by such Issuing Bank thereunder, for the principal amount of such L/C Advance, and shall pay to such Issuing Bank, on demand, interest on the unreimbursed principal of such L/C Advance at a rate per annum equal to (a) from the date of such L/C Advance to the first Business Day after notice thereof has been given to the Borrower, the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances in effect from time to time, and (b) from and after such first Business Day, the Default Rate. If the Borrower shall fail to so reimburse the Issuing Bank within one Business Day after the Borrower receives notice that any such L/C Advance has been made, then upon demand by the Issuing Bank, and whether or not a Default has occurred and is continuing or any conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied, each Revolving Lender shall purchase from such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall sell and assign to each Revolving Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such outstanding L/C Advance as of the date of such purchase, by making available for the account of such Issuing Bank, by deposit to the Agent's Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such L/C Advance to be purchased by such Lender. Each Revolving Lender agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding L/C Advance on (A) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the Issuing Bank which made such L/C Advance, provided notice of such demand is given not later than 12:00 noon (Dallas, Texas time) on such Business Day, or (B) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. Upon any such assignment by an Issuing Bank to any Lender of a portion of an L/C Advance, such Issuing Bank represents and 41 warrants to such Lender that such Issuing Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such L/C Advance, the Loan Documents or any Loan Party. Section 3.04. Obligations Absolute.

(a) Each Lender Party may and, if demanded by the Borrower (which demand may only be made within 30 days after a demand by such Lender Party pursuant to Section 2.08(a), 2.08(b) or 2.10 upon at least 10 Business Days' notice to such Lender Party and the Agent), will assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of all of the Facilities, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender Party or an assignment of all 76 of a Lender Party's rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender Party being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.07(a) shall be arranged by the Borrower after consultation with the Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender Party under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender Party under this Agreement, (v) no Lender Party shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.07(a) unless and until such Lender Party shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrower or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Lender Party, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender Party under this Agreement, and (vi) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender Party hereunder and (y) the Lender Party assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender Party's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender Party shall cease to be a party hereto). (b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender Party assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and 77 without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender Party or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be. (c) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender Parties and the Commitment under each Facility of, and principal amount of the Advances owing under each Facility to, each Lender Party from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lender Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender Party and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under a Facility pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender Party has retained a Commitment hereunder under such Facility, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender Party in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit D-1 or D-2 hereto, as applicable. (e) Each Lender Party may sell participations in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender Party's obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender Party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender Party shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lender 78 Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender Party in connection with such Lender Party's rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, release all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than pursuant to Section 9.01(b)) or release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty. (f) Any Lender Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender Party by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it from such Lender Party. (g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender Party may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Section 9.08. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. Section 9.09. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Section 9.10. No Liability of the Issuing Bank. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither the Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by the Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter 79 of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower shall have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower that the Borrower proves were caused by (i) the Issuing Bank's willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) the Issuing Bank's willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary. Section 9.11. Confidentiality. Except as may be required to enforce the rights and duties established hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including establishing and maintaining the perfection and priority of the security interests in the Collateral), neither the Agent nor any Lender Party shall disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the consent of the Borrower, other than (a) to the Agent's or such Lender Party's Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors and to actual or prospective Eligible Assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process and (c) as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking. Section 9.12. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE ADVANCES, ANY LETTER OF CREDIT OR THE ACTIONS OF THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF. 80 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first above written.
