thereof in its entirety and by inserting in place thereof the following:
SECTION 10.13. BANK ASSIGNMENTS/PARTICIPATIONS.
(a) Any Bank may, in the ordinary course of its commercial
banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time
sell to one or more financial institutions ("Participants")
participating interests in any Note held by such Bank, any Commitment
of such Bank or any other interest of such Bank hereunder and under the
Related Writings; provided that, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, each of the Banks hereunder shall retain the lesser of
(i) such Bank's Commitment hereunder and the aggregate amount of such
Bank's Notes issued hereunder or (ii) an undivided ten percent (10%) of
the original Commitment of the Banks (unless the original Commitment of
the Banks hereunder shall be permanently reduced and then each Bank
shall retain ten percent (10%) of the amount as so reduced) and of the
aggregate amount of the Notes issued hereunder. In the event of any
such sale by a Bank of participating interests to a Participant, such
Bank's obligations under this credit agreement to the other parties to
this credit agreement shall remain unchanged; such Bank shall remain
solely responsible for the performance thereof; such Bank shall remain
the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this credit
agreement and the Related Writings; 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 credit agreement and
the Related Writings. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding
under this credit agreement and the Notes are due or unpaid, or shall
have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to
have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in
amounts owing under this credit agreement and any Note to the same
extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing
directly to it as a Bank under this credit agreement or any Note,
provided that such Participant shall only be entitled to such right of
set-off if it shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it
shall have acquired its participating
2
3
interest to share with the Banks the proceeds thereof as provided in
Section 8.5. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Article III and Sections 10.7, 10.8 and
10.9 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the loans
outstanding from time to time.
(b) With the written consent of the Agent, any Bank may
(subject to the proviso set forth below), in the ordinary course of its
commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at
any time sell to one or more financial institutions ("Purchasing
Banks") a part of its rights and obligations under this credit
agreement and the Notes, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance
executed by such Purchasing Bank, such transferor Bank and the Agent)
and delivered to the Agent for its acceptance and recording in the
Register; provided that, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, each of the Banks hereunder shall retain the lesser of
(i) such Bank's Commitment hereunder and the aggregate amount of such
Bank's Notes issued hereunder or (ii) an undivided ten percent (10%) of
the original Commitment of the Banks (unless the original Commitment of
the Banks hereunder shall be permanently reduced and then each Bank
shall retain ten percent (10%) of the amount as so reduced) and of the
aggregate amount of the Notes issued hereunder, and FURTHER PROVIDED
that, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, no Bank shall
sell its interest hereunder pursuant to an assignment without the
written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and
recording, from and after the Transfer Effective Date determined
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Purchasing Bank
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank
hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the
transferor Bank thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such
Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
credit agreement. Such Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to
amend this credit agreement to the extent, and only to the extent,
necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Bank and the
resulting adjustment of the appropriate Commitments arising from the
purchase by such Purchasing Bank of all or a portion of the rights and
obligations of such transferor Bank under this credit agreement and the
Notes. On or prior to the Transfer Effective Date determined pursuant
to such Assignment and Acceptance, the Borrower shall execute and
deliver to the Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Note, a new
Revolving Credit Note and/or Term Note, as the case may be, to the
order of such Purchasing Bank in an amount equal to the Revolving
Credit Commitment and/or the Term Loan Commitment assumed by it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and new Notes to the order
of the transferor Bank in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by
it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall
otherwise be in the form of the Notes replaced thereby. The Notes
surrendered by the transferor Bank shall be returned by the Agent to
the Borrower marked "cancelled".
(c) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in
Section 10.6 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it
and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Banks and the Commitment of, and principal amount of
the loans owing to, each Bank from time to time. The entries in the
Register shall
3
4
be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the
Agent and the Banks may treat each financial institution whose name is
recorded in the Register as the owner of the loan recorded therein for
all purposes of this credit agreement. The Register shall be available
for inspection by the Borrower or any Bank at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed
by a transferor Bank, a Purchasing Bank and the Agent, together with
payment by the transferor Bank and/or the Purchasing Bank of a
registration and processing fee of Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($2,500), to be retained by the Agent for its own account, the Agent
shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance, and (ii) on
the Transfer Effective Date determined pursuant thereto, record the
information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such
acceptance and recordation to the Banks and the Borrower.
(e) The Borrower authorizes each Bank to disclose to any
Participant or Purchasing Bank (each, a "Transferee") and any
prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Bank's
possession concerning the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which has been
delivered to such Bank by or on behalf of the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries pursuant to this credit agreement or which has been
delivered to such Bank by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection
with such Bank's credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
prior to becoming a party to this credit agreement.
(f) If, pursuant to this section, any interest in this credit
agreement or any Note is transferred to any Transferee which is
organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United
States or any state thereof, the transferor Bank shall cause such
Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i)
to represent to the transferor Bank (for the benefit of the transferor
Bank, the Agent and the Borrower) that under applicable law and
treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Agent, the
Borrower or the transferor Bank with respect to any payments to be made
to such Transferee in respect of the loans hereunder, (ii) to furnish
to the transferor Bank (and, in the case of any Purchasing Bank
registered in the Register, the Agent and the Borrower) either (A) U.S.
Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or U.S. Internal Revenue Service
Form 1001 or (B) United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or
W-9, as applicable (wherein such Transferee claims entitlement to
complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all interest
payments hereunder), and (iii) to agree (for the benefit of the
transferor Bank, the Agent and the Borrower) to provide the transferor
Bank (and, in the case of any Purchasing Bank registered in the
Register, the Agent and the Borrower) a new Form 4224 or Form 1001 or
Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable, upon the expiration or obsolescence of
any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance
with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed
and completed by such Transferee, and to comply from time to time with
all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such
withholding tax exemption.
(g) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Bank from pledging or
assigning any Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with
applicable law.

that (a) Borrower has the legal power and authority to execute and deliver this
First Amendment Agreement; (b) officials executing this First Amendment
Agreement have been duly authorized to execute and deliver the same and bind
Borrower with respect to the provisions hereof; (c) the execution and delivery

of Borrower or any law applicable to Borrower or result in a breach of any
provision of or constitute a default under any other agreement, instrument or
document binding upon or enforceable against Borrower; (d) no Possible Default
exists under the Credit Agreement, nor will any occur immediately after the

counterclaims of which Borrower and any Subsidiary is aware, such waiver and
release being with full knowledge and understanding of the circumstances and
effect thereof and after having consulted legal counsel with respect thereto,
and (f) this First Amendment Agreement constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of Borrower in every respect, enforceable in accordance with its
terms.
