(B) while the Second LIBOR Method is applicable, the Borrower may not request that Advances be LIBOR Advances if, after giving effect to such Advances, there would be more than three different Interest Periods then in effect; (iv) if such Loan is a Tranche Y Loan, whether the proceeds of such Loan will be used to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Tranche Y Advances; (v) the requested aggregate principal amount of such Loan; and (vi) the account to which the proceeds of such Loan shall be paid. Each Draw Request: (A) with respect to a Tranche X Loan shall be accompanied by a Tranche X Borrowing Base Certificate that, among other things, shows the Tranche X Borrowing Base as of the date of such Draw Request; (B) with respect to a Tranche X Loan or a Tranche Y Loan shall be accompanied by a certificate that shows the Tranche X Maximum Commitment or the Tranche Y Maximum Commitment, as applicable, as of the date of such Draw Request and sets forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount thereof; and (C) shall be accompanied such additional documents as may be required by Article IX.

(b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower may not select LIBOR Advances for any Tranche X Loan if the aggregate amount of such Loan is less than $5,000,000 or if the obligation of the Tranche X Lenders to make LIBOR Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to (S)2.05 or 4.01 and (ii) there shall be no more than three Interest Periods for LIBOR Advances at any one time in effect. (c) Each Draw Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Tranche X Loan that the related Draw Request specifies is to be comprised of LIBOR Advances and while the Second LIBOR Method is applicable, the Borrower shall indemnify each Applicable Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Applicable Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Draw Request for such Loan the applicable conditions set forth in Articles VIII and IX, including any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Applicable Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Applicable Lender as part of such Loan when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from an Applicable Lender prior to the date of any Loan that such Applicable Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's ratable portion of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Loan in accordance with subsection (a) of this (S)2.02 and the Administrative 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 Applicable Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Loan and (ii) in the case of such Applicable Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Applicable Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Applicable Lender's Advance as part of such Loan for purposes of this Agreement. (e) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Loan shall not relieve any other Applicable Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Loan, 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 Loan.

The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this (S)2.08 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 were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Such Lender will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for any suspension or Conversions described in the preceding sentence and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. Section 4.02. Additional Costs and Capital Adequacy. (a) If any present ------------------------------------- or future applicable law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court having jurisdiction with respect thereto or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Administrative Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (i) impose or increase or render applicable (other than to the extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) any special-deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or 63

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Administrative Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender's Commitments, or any class of loans, or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Lender's Commitments form a part, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Advances or such Lender's Commitment (taking into account such Lender's then-existing policies with respect to maintaining capital), then the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, within 15 days after demand from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, for such increased costs. (b) If any law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) or the interpretation thereof by a court or governmental authority with appropriate jurisdiction, that in any case becomes effective after the date hereof, affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and such Lender determines that the amount of capital required to be maintained by it is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender's commitment with respect to any Advances, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, within 15 days after demand from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender's commitment to lend hereunder. (c) Each demand by a Lender pursuant to this (S)4.02 shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand and the computation of such amount, including any method by which such cost was allocated to the Borrower. In determining the amount of any compensation, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods set forth in such demand, and any such methods so used shall be binding on the Borrower. The amount specified in any such demand shall be conclusive evidence of the amount owing, absent manifest error. Such Lender will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any compensation under this (S)4.02 and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. By making any payment under this (S)4.02, the Borrower is not waiving its right to contest that the amounts set forth in the certificates are based on manifest error. Section 4.03. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower ----- hereunder or under the Notes shall be made 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 64

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 or the Administrative 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 (S)4.03) such Lender or the Administrative 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) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar 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) The Borrower will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this (S)4.03) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in (S)12.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes by or on behalf of 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 65

If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender 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 (S)4.03(a). If any form or document referred to in this subsection (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 reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information. (f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in (S)4.03(e) (other than if such ----- ---- failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided, or if such form otherwise is not required under the first sentence of subsection (e) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under (S)4.03(a) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that should a Lender become subject to -------- Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request and at such Lender's expense to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes. (g) If the Borrower is required to pay any amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this (S)4.03, such Lender will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such payment and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
