The proceeds of borrowings hereunder are to be used to repay amounts outstanding, if any, under the Existing Credit Agreement and for working capital and general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, to backstop commercial paper.

The Lenders are willing to extend such credit to the Borrowers on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

If for any reason the Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Base CD Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate or both for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms thereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (b) or (c), or both, of the first sentence of this definition, as appropriate, until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Three-Month Secondary CD Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Three-Month Secondary CD Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, respectively.

Each Borrowing under this Section shall be in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to the Borrowing Minimum and an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and shall be made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments. Within the foregoing limits, any Borrower may borrow, repay or, to the extent permitted by Section 2.11, prepay Loans and reborrow at any time during the Revolving Credit Period.

SECTION 2.02. Notice of Borrowing. To request a Borrowing, the applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the applicable Borrowing Subsidiary, shall give the Agent notice (a “Notice of Borrowing”) (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (b) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, not later than 9:00 a.m., London time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, or (c) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing, specifying:

(a) the Borrower requesting such Borrowing (or on which Borrowing Subsidiary’s behalf the Company is requesting such Borrowing),

(b) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day,

(d) whether the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans,

(e) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period, and

(f) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.03.

SECTION 2.03. Notice to Lenders; Funding of Loans.

(a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s share (if any) of such Borrowing and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the relevant Borrower.

(b) Not later than 1:00 pm New York City time (or, if the Notice of Borrowing is delivered or telecopied to the Agent in London (in the case of Eurocurrency Loans

in Designated Foreign Currencies only), 11:00 a.m., London time) on the date of each Borrowing, each Lender participating therein shall (except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section) make available its share of such Borrowing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the account of the Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Unless the Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article IV has not been satisfied, the Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the relevant Borrower at the Agent’s aforesaid address or such other location as may be specified by the Company and consented to by the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and designated by the Borrower or the Company on behalf of the relevant Borrowing Subsidiary in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

(c) If any Lender makes a new Loan hereunder on a day on which a Borrower is to repay all or any part of an outstanding Loan from such Lender, such Lender 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 Lender to the Agent as provided in subsection (b), or remitted by such Borrower to the Agent as provided in Section 2.12, as the case may be.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 2.03 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such share available to the Agent, such Lender and such 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 such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of such Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.06 and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (x)(A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate, in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars and (B) the rate reasonably determined by the Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, in the case of Loans denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, and (y) a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount (prior to such Borrower’s having done so), such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, interest paid by any Lender under this Section 2.03(d) shall not be included in such Lender’s Loan or be otherwise considered a Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby agrees that the outstanding principal balance of each Loan shall be payable on the Maturity Date and as provided in Section 2.05. Each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal balance thereof as set forth in Section 2.06.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid such lending office of such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 2.04(e), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount and currency of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of each Loan made and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) and (c) of this Section 2.04 shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable law, prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with their terms.

(e) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of each Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Absent manifest error the entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of any Loan Document, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.06) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.05. Maturity of Loans. Each Loan included in any Borrowing shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.06. Interest Rates. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate for such day. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day.

(b) Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate plus the applicable Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate. Such interest shall

be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof.

The “Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate” applicable to any Interest Period means a rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) equal to (i) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate multiplied by (ii) the Statutory Reserve Rate; provided that, with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to any Interest Period means a rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) equal to the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate.

“Statutory Reserve Rate” means, with respect to any currency, a fraction (expressed as a decimal), the numerator of which is the number one and the denominator of which is the number one minus the aggregate of the maximum reserve, liquid asset or similar percentages (including any marginal, special, emergency or supplemental reserves) expressed as a decimal established by any Governmental Authority of the United States or of the jurisdiction of such currency or any jurisdiction in which Loans in such currency are made to which banks in such jurisdiction are subject for any category of deposits or liabilities customarily used to fund loans in such currency or by reference to which interest rates applicable to Loans in such currency are determined. Such reserve, liquid asset or similar percentages shall include those imposed pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successors). Eurocurrency Loans shall be deemed to be subject to such reserve requirements without benefit of or credit for proration, exemptions or offsets that may be available from time to time to any Lender under Regulation D or any other applicable law, rule or regulation. The Statutory Reserve Rate shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in any reserve percentage.

(c) Any overdue principal of or interest on any Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to Eurocurrency Loans for such day.

(d) The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the relevant Borrowers and the participating Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type indicated in the applicable Notice of Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency

Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the relevant Borrower may elect to convert any such Borrowing denominated in US Dollars to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue any such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. A Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Company or the Borrowing Subsidiary (or the Company on its behalf) shall notify the Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Notice of Borrowing would be required under Section 2.02 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Agent and signed by the relevant Borrower, or by the Company on its behalf.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the relevant Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be (i) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, converted to an ABR Borrowing and (ii) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, repaid at the end of such Interest Period. Notwithstanding any

contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Company, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in US Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in US Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08. Fees.

(a) Facility Fees. The Company shall pay or cause the Borrowing Subsidiaries to pay to the Agent in US Dollars, for the accounts of the Lenders, facility fees at the relevant Facility Fee Rate specified in the definition of Applicable Rate.

(b) Utilization Fees. The Company shall pay or cause the Borrowing Subsidiaries to pay to the Agent in US Dollars, for the accounts of the Lenders, utilization fees at the relevant Utilization Fee Rate specified in the definition of Applicable Rate, on the amounts of the outstanding Loans of the Lenders for each day on which the aggregate amount of the US Dollar Equivalents of the outstanding principal amounts of the Loans shall be greater than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments. Accrued utilization fees, if any, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, on the date on which the Commitments terminate and, if later, on the date the Loans shall be repaid in their entirety.

Any termination or reduction of the Commitments under this Section 2.09 shall be permanent.

SECTION 2.10. Mandatory Termination of Commitments. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. Loans outstanding on the Maturity Date (together with accrued interest thereon) shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

Minimum that are multiples of the Borrowing Multiple, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.

(b) In the event and on each occasion that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds 105% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments, the Borrowers shall promptly prepay Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the amount in excess of such aggregate amount of the Commitments. The Agent shall promptly notify (a) the Company in the event it determines that any prepayment is required under this paragraph and (b) each Lender of such Lender’s ratable share (if any) of such prepayment. If, on any Reset Date, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures shall exceed 105% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments, then the Borrowers shall prepay Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the amount in excess of such aggregate amount of the Commitments not later than the next Business Day following receipt by the Company of a notification from the Agent of the amount payable hereunder.

(c) If prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan occurs other than at the end of an applicable Interest Period, then the prepayment will be subject to compensation in respect to redeployment costs as provided in Section 2.13. Each prepayment under this Section 2.11 shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Lenders included in such prepaid Borrowings.

(d) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to paragraph (a), the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by such Borrower.

SECTION 2.12. General Provisions as to Payments.

(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees hereunder or under any other Loan Document, not later than 12:00 noon New York City time (or, if such payment relates to a Borrowing in a Designated Foreign Currency, 11:00 a.m., London time) on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim, to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.01 (or, if such payment relates to a Borrowing in a Designated Foreign Currency, to the Agent’s London address referred to in Section 10.01) or at such other offices as the Agent shall from time to time specify in a notice delivered to the Company. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share of each such payment received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders. 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 Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Eurocurrency Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding 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. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of any Loan) shall be made in the currency of such Loan; all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in US Dollars, except as otherwise expressly provided.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the relevant Borrower, or from the Company on behalf of the relevant Borrower, prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Document that such Borrower will not

make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that such 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 Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that such Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Lender agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the greater of (i)(A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate, in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars and (B) the rate reasonably determined by the Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, in the case of Loans denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, and (ii) a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(c) Any payment required to be made to any Borrower by the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Agent to make such payment.

SECTION 2.13. Funding Losses. In the event of the payment of any amount of principal with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan (pursuant to Article VI or VIII or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or if any Borrower fails to borrow any Eurocurrency Loans after notice has been given to any Lender in accordance with Section 2.03(a), the relevant Borrower shall reimburse each Lender within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an 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 failure to borrow, provided that such Lender shall have delivered to such Borrower, or to the Company on its behalf, a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense and accompanied by a certificate of such Lender explaining in reasonable detail the method by which such amount shall have been determined, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.14. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest hereunder computed by reference to the Alternative Base Rate at times when the Alternative Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (except in the case of Loans denominated in Sterling, for which a year of 365 or 366 days will be used for purposes of computing interest) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

SECTION 2.15. Borrowing Subsidiaries. On or after the date hereof, the Company may designate any Subsidiary as a Borrowing Subsidiary by delivery to the Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and the Company, and upon such delivery such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of each Loan Document be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement until the Company shall have executed and delivered to the Agent a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to such Subsidiary, whereupon such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to any Borrowing Subsidiary at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Borrowing Subsidiary shall be outstanding hereunder, provided that such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination shall be effective to terminate such Borrowing Subsidiary’s right to make

further Borrowings under this Agreement. Promptly following receipt of any Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement or any Borrowing Subsidiary Termination, the Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Lender.

SECTION 2.16. Foreign Subsidiary Costs. (a) If the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Loan to a Borrowing Subsidiary is increased (or the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) is reduced) by an amount deemed in good faith by such Lender to be material, by reason of the fact that such Borrowing Subsidiary is incorporated in, or conducts business in, a jurisdiction outside the United States, such Borrowing Subsidiary shall indemnify such Lender for such increased cost or reduction within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Agent). A certificate of such Lender claiming compensation under this paragraph and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder (and the basis for the calculation of such amount or amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(b) Each Lender will promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge that will entitle such Lender to additional interest or payments pursuant to paragraph (a) above, but in any event within 45 days after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that (i) if any Lender fails to give such notice within 45 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 2.16 for costs incurred from and after the date 45 days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice and (ii) each Lender will, promptly after obtaining such actual knowledge, designate a different applicable lending office, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 2.17. Additional Reserve Costs. (a) If and so long as any Lender is required to make special deposits with the Bank of England, to maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans, such Lender may require the relevant Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loans at a rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Costs Rate calculated in accordance with the formula and in the manner set forth in Exhibit C hereto.

(b) If and so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in the Statutory Reserve Rate or the Mandatory Costs Rate) in respect of any of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans, such Lender may require the relevant Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Loans at a rate per annum specified by such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such Loans.

(c) Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be determined by the relevant Lender, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and notified to the Company, or, if the relevant Borrower is a Borrowing Subsidiary, the Company on behalf of such Borrowing Subsidiary, accompanied by a certificate of such Lender explaining in reasonable detail the method by which such amount shall have been determined (with a copy to the Agent), at least five Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the relevant Loan, and such additional interest so notified to the Company (either in

its own capacity or on behalf of the relevant Borrowing Subsidiary) by such Lender shall be payable to the Agent for the account of such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loan. Any Lender which notifies the Company (either in its own capacity or on behalf of the relevant Borrowing Subsidiary) and the Agent under this paragraph (c) shall promptly withdraw such notice (by written certificate of withdrawal given to the Company and the Agent) in the event such Lender shall become aware that the circumstances giving rise to such additional interest have ceased to exist. Any Lender claiming any indemnity payment or additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Company or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 2.18. Increase in Commitments. The Company may, by written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to the Lenders), executed by the Company and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this Section being called an “Increasing Lender”), which may include any Lender, cause Commitments to be made available by the Increasing Lenders (or cause the Commitments of the Increasing Lenders to be increased, as the case may be) in an amount not less than $10,000,000 and in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 for each Increasing Lender set forth in such notice, provided, however, that (a) the aggregate amount of all new Commitments and increases in existing Commitments pursuant to this paragraph during the term of this Agreement shall in no event exceed $500,000,000, (b) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (c) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall become a party to this Agreement by completing and delivering to the Agent a duly executed accession agreement substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit G (an “Accession Agreement”). New Commitments and increases in Commitments pursuant to this Section shall become effective on the date specified in the applicable notices delivered pursuant to this Section. Upon the effectiveness of any Accession Agreement to which any Increasing Lender is a party, (i) such Increasing Lender shall thereafter be deemed to be a party to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges accorded a Lender hereunder and subject to all obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the Commitment of such Increasing Lender as provided in such Accession Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of any increase pursuant to this Section in the Commitment of a Lender already a party hereto, Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the increased Commitment of such Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the aggregate Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this Section unless, on the date of such increase, the Agent shall have received a certificate, dated as of the effective date of such increase and executed by the chief financial officer or the chief accounting officer of the Company, to the effect that the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such paragraphs to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to such increase). Following any extension of a new Commitment or increase of a Lender’s Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.18, any Loans outstanding prior to the effectiveness of such extension or increase shall remain outstanding until the ends of the respective Interest Periods applicable thereto, and shall then be repaid or refinanced with new Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01 ratably in accordance with the respective Commitments of the Lenders.

SECTION 2.19. No Double Payment. The provisions of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 8.03 shall apply without duplication and no Lender shall be compensated more than once for a single loss, cost or expense of the sort referred to in such Sections.

SECTION 2.20. Special Arrangements in Respect of Designated Foreign Currency Borrowings. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (a) North Fork shall not make a Loan as part of any Borrowing denominated in any Designated Foreign Currency, and any such Borrowing shall consist of Loans made by the Lenders other than North Fork ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments and may be prepaid as provided in 2.11(a) ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof; (b) at any time when one or more Borrowings denominated in Designated Foreign Currencies are outstanding, the Borrowers may borrow Alternate US Dollar Loans from North Fork (in accordance with the provisions of this Article II, but without simultaneously borrowing on a ratable basis from the other Lenders) in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not in excess of the DFC Percentage of North Fork’s Commitment, and may prepay such Alternate US Dollar Loans as provided in Section 2.11(a) without any simultaneous prepayment of the Loans of other Lenders; and (c) if any Borrowing denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency shall be prepaid at a time when Alternate US Dollar Loans are outstanding, the Borrowers will simultaneously prepay Alternate US Dollar Loans in such amount (if any) as shall be necessary in order that the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Alternate US Dollar Loans will not exceed the DFC Percentage of North Fork’s Commitment.

SECTION 3.05. Litigation. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of the Company threatened against or affecting, the Company 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 Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries considered as a whole or which in any manner draws into question the validity of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 3.06. Compliance with ERISA. Except to the extent that failure to so fulfill its obligations or be in compliance could not materially adversely affect the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, 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 required 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, solely as a result of the passage of time, could result in the imposition of a Lien or the posting of a bond or other security under Sections 302(f) or 307 of ERISA or Sections 412(n) or 401(a)(29) of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor provisions thereto) or (iii) incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA if such action, failure or incurrence could materially adversely affect the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

SECTION 3.07. Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the Company reviews, or causes its Subsidiaries to review, the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which they seek to identify and evaluate, in accordance with GAAP, associated liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of their properties, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, any periodic or permanent shutdown of any facility or reduction in the level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat, any costs or liabilities in connection with off-site disposal of wastes or Hazardous Substances, and any liabilities to third parties, including employees, and any related costs and expenses). On the basis of this review, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated liabilities and costs, including the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, are unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Company, adequate.

SECTION 3.09. Subsidiaries. Each of the Company’s corporate Material Subsidiaries is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and has all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted.

SECTION 5.06. Inspection of Property, Books and Records. The Company will keep, and will cause each Subsidiary to keep, proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries shall be made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities; and will permit representatives of any Lender at such Lender’s expense, and will cause each Subsidiary to permit representatives of the Agent at the Agent’s expense, to visit and inspect any of their respective properties, to examine and make abstracts from any of their respective books and records and to discuss their respective affairs, finances and accounts with their respective officers, employees and independent public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may reasonably be desired.

(g) Liens arising in the ordinary course of its business which (i) do not secure Debt, (ii) do not secure any obligation in an amount exceeding the US Dollar Equivalent of US$50,000,000 and (iii) do not in the aggregate materially detract from the value of its assets or materially impair the use thereof in the operation of its business; and

None of such proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U.

ARTICLE VIII

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

SECTION 8.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any currency the Required Lenders advise the Agent that the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Eurocurrency Loans in such currency for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders, whereupon until the Agent notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which the Agent agrees to do promptly upon becoming aware that such circumstances no longer exist), the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Loans in such currency shall be suspended.

SECTION 8.02. Illegality. If, on or 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 Lender (or its Eurocurrency 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 unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Eurocurrency Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Eurocurrency Loans in any currency and such Lender shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Company, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Company and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon becoming aware that such circumstances no longer exist), the obligation of such Lender to make Eurocurrency Loans in such currency shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section, such Lender shall designate a different Eurocurrency Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Eurocurrency Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the applicable Borrowers shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each such Eurocurrency Loans, together with accrued interest thereon. Concurrently with prepaying each such Eurocurrency Loan denominated in US Dollars, each such Borrower shall borrow a Base Rate Loan in an equal principal amount from such Lender (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Eurocurrency Loans of the other Lenders), and such Lender shall make such a Base Rate Loan.

SECTION 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If on or 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 Lender (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 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 Eurocurrency Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Statutory Reserve Rate), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Lender (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 Eurocurrency Loans or its obligation to make Eurocurrency Loans and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under any Loan Document with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender accompanied by a certificate of such Lender explaining in reasonable detail the method by which such amount shall have been determined (with a copy to the Agent), the relevant Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender 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 Lender (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (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 Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender accompanied by a certificate of such Lender explaining in reasonable detail the method by which such amount shall have been determined (with a copy to the Agent), the relevant Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or its Parent) for such reduction. It is acknowledged that this Agreement is being entered into by the Lenders on the understanding that the Lenders will not be required to maintain capital against their Commitments under currently applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidelines. In the event the Lenders shall be advised by any governmental authority or shall otherwise determine on the basis of pronouncements of any government authority that such understanding is incorrect, it is agreed that the Lenders will be entitled to make claims under this paragraph (b) based upon market requirements prevailing on the date hereof for commitments under comparable credit facilities against which capital is required to be maintained.

(c) Each Lender will promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender 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 judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender 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 Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any such certificate shall contain a statement as to the calculation of such amount, provided that such Lender shall not be required to disclose any information it considers, in its sole discretion, to be confidential.

SECTION 8.04. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by any Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions (including such deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.04) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount of Taxes so deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) such Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt (or such other satisfactory evidence as may be available to the Company) evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes, and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies, which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender 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 8.04) paid by such Lender 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 made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

(d) Each Lender 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 Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Company (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), deliver to the Company a properly executed Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest (and specifying such reduced rate of withholding) or that the income receivable pursuant to each Loan Document is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. If the form provided (or

which should have been provided) by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates (or should have indicated) 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 Section 8.04(a).

(e) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Company with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.04(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.04(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes solely because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrowers shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(f) If a Lender has knowledge that any Borrower would otherwise become required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 8.04, then such Lender will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(g) If any Lender has knowledge of the imposition of any Taxes for which any Borrower is required to indemnify such Lender under this Section 8.04, such Lender shall notify such Borrower within 30 Business Days of obtaining such knowledge of such imposition. If the Lender has failed to notify the Company as required pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Company or the relevant Borrower does not otherwise have knowledge of the imposition of such Taxes, such Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify such Lender for any Taxes which accrued prior to the Company’s or such Borrower’s obtaining such knowledge.

(h) If any Lender shall receive any net tax benefit by reason of payments of additional amounts by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.04 which, in the sole judgment of such Lender, it would not otherwise have been able to obtain, such Lender shall pay to such Borrower the amount of such net benefit, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion. Nothing herein shall be construed to require any Lender to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs.

SECTION 8.05. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Eurocurrency Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make Eurocurrency Loans denominated in US Dollars has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04 with respect to its Eurocurrency Loans denominated in US Dollars and the relevant Borrower shall, by at least five Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies such Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon becoming aware that such circumstances no longer exist):

(a) all Loans denominated in US Dollars which would otherwise be made by such Lender as Eurocurrency Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Eurocurrency Loans of the other Lenders), and

(b) after each of its Eurocurrency Loans denominated in US Dollars has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Eurocurrency Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead.

SECTION 8.06. Substitution of Lender. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make Eurocurrency Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04, the relevant Borrower shall have the right to cause such Lender to transfer its Commitment and outstanding Loans to a financial institution or financial institutions (which may be one or more of the Lenders) which is reasonably acceptable to such Borrower and the Agent; provided that such Lender shall receive as consideration for such transfer an amount equal to the principal of and interest accrued on the transferred Loans, if any, and all fees and other amounts accrued for its account or otherwise owed to it hereunder as of the date of transfer.

ARTICLE IX

GUARANTEE

In order to induce the Lenders to extend credit to the Borrowing Subsidiaries hereunder, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the Obligations of the Borrowing Subsidiaries. The Company further agrees that the due and punctual payment of the Obligations of the Borrowing Subsidiaries may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any Obligation.

The Company waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrowing Subsidiary of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Company under this Article IX shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrowing Subsidiary under the provisions of this Agreement, any Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or release of any Borrowing Subsidiary from, any of the terms or provisions applicable to any Borrowing Subsidiary of this Agreement, any Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) the failure or delay of any Lender to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary; (e) the failure of any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument; (f) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary; or (g) any other act (other than payment or performance of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary), omission or delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Company or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Company as Guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of the Company to subrogation.

The Company further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a promise of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding of any Borrowing Subsidiary shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations of such Borrowing Subsidiary or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives any right

to require that any resort be had by any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Lender in favor of any Borrower or Subsidiary or any other Person.

The obligations of the Company under this Article IX shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary, any impossibility in the performance of the Obligations of any Borrowing Subsidiary or otherwise.

The Company further agrees that its obligations under this Article IX shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation of any Borrowing Subsidiary is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Lender may have at law or in equity against the Company by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrowing Subsidiary to pay any Obligation of such Borrowing Subsidiary when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Company hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Agent for distribution to the Lenders in cash an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligation. The Company further agrees that if payment in respect of any such Obligation shall be due in a currency other than US Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York and if, by reason of any legal prohibition, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or other event, payment of such Obligation in such currency or at such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the reasonable judgment of any Lender, not consistent with the protection of its rights or interests, then, at the election of such Lender, the Company shall make payment of such Obligation in US Dollars (based upon the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on the date of payment) and/or in New York, and shall indemnify such Lender against any losses or expenses (including losses or expenses resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates) that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.

Upon payment in full by the Company of any Obligation of any Borrowing Subsidiary, each Lender shall, in a reasonable manner, assign to the Company the amount of such Obligation owed to such Lender and so paid, such assignment to be pro tanto to the extent to which the Obligation in question was discharged by the Company, or, if requested by the Company, make such disposition thereof as the Company shall direct (all without recourse to any Lender and without any representation or warranty by any Lender). Upon payment by the Company of any sums as provided above, all rights of the Company against any Borrowing Subsidiary arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations owed by such Borrowing Subsidiary to the Lenders.

Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective when received.

SECTION 10.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan 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 herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

SECTION 10.03. Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Agent, in connection with the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents, any waiver or consent under any Loan Document or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default under any Loan Document and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and each Lender, including fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender, 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, which may be incurred by such 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 Loan 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 any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred (i) as the result of any such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) by a Lender, its affiliates or the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing in connection with a proceeding with any other Lender or any Assignee or Participant that (x) arises in connection with an assignment, participation or other transfer pursuant to Section 10.06, (y) does not relate to any action taken or failed to be taken by any Borrower and (z) does not relate to any right or obligation of any Borrower.

SECTION 10.04. Sharing of Set-Offs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan held by such other Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans

held by the other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loans held by the Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Lender to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of any Borrower other than its indebtedness under the Loans. Each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Loan, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 10.05. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or any Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Company and the Required Lenders (and, if the rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby, by the Agent) (and, in the case of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, the applicable Borrowing Subsidiary); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all the Lenders, (i) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Lender (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Lenders) or subject any Lender to any additional obligation, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, (iii) extend the Maturity Date or postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or for any reduction or termination of any Commitment, (iv) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number of Lenders, which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this section or any other provision of this Agreement, (v) amend the definitions of “Designated Foreign Currencies”, “Exchange Rate”, Section 10.04 or this Section 10.05, (vi) change the provisions of Article IX of this Agreement or (vii) change Section 2.12 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby.

SECTION 10.06. 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 no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Lenders.

(b) Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Company and the Agent, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the relevant Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers 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 Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (vii) of Section 10.05 without the consent of the Participant. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (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 Lender may at any time assign to one or more banks or other institutions (each an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part of all (such proportionate part to include a Commitment of not less than $5,000,000), of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (an “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”) executed by such Assignee and such transferor Lender, with (and subject to) the subscribed consent of the Company (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Agent (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that if an Assignee is an affiliate of such transferor Lender, no such consent shall be required. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. If the Assignee is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the Company and the Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 8.04.

(d) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank without the consent of any other party. No such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Lender’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or 8.04 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Company’s prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 requiring such Lender to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances.

SECTION 10.07. Collateral. Each of the Lenders represents to the Agent and each of the other Lenders 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.

SECTION 10.08. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Each 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. Each 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 10.09. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 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. This Agreement shall become effective on the date which is the later of (i) November 9, 2007, and (ii) the date on which the Agent has received counterparts hereof signed by each of the parties hereto (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been received, telegraphic or other written confirmation from such party in form satisfactory to the Agent of the execution of a counterpart hereof by such party), provided that the obligation of the Lenders hereunder are subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01.

SECTION 10.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS 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 10.11. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto (including any Borrowing Subsidiary) agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b)The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency which may be so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 10.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 10.12. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with

interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 10.13. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Company and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act.

SECTION 10.14. Confidentiality. Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process and promptly after receipt thereof notify the Borrower of the receipt of such subpoena or other legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, and upon prior notice to the Company, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrowers or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 10.15. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrowers agree that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Lenders or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

ADDITIONAL RESERVE COSTS

Reference is made to the Five-Year Credit Agreement dated as of November [•], 2007 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Five-Year Credit Agreement”), among Dover Corporation (the “Company”), the Borrowing Subsidiaries from time to time party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Five-Year Credit Agreement.

1.		Definitions

		In this Exhibit:

		“Act” means the Bank of England Act of 1998.

		The terms “Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings ascribed to them under or pursuant to the Act or by the Bank of England (as may be appropriate), on the day of the application of the formula.

		“Fee Base” has the meaning ascribed to it for the purposes of, and shall be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Regulations.

		“Fees Regulations” means, as appropriate, either:

		(a)the Banking Supervision (Fees) Regulations 1998; or

		(b)such regulations as from time to time may be in force, relating to the payment of fees for banking supervision in respect of periods subsequent to January 1, 2000.

		“FSA” means the Financial Services Authority.

		Any reference to a provision of any statute, directive, order or regulation herein is a reference to that provision as amended or re-enacted from time to time.

2.		Calculation of the Mandatory Costs Rate

		The Mandatory Costs Rate is an addition to the interest rate on each Eurocurrency Loan or any other sum on which interest is to be calculated to compensate the Lenders for the cost attributable to such Eurocurrency Loan or such sum resulting from the imposition from time to time under or pursuant to the Act and/or by the Bank of England and/or the FSA (or other United Kingdom governmental authorities or agencies) of a requirement to place non-interest bearing or Special Deposits (whether interest bearing or not) with the Bank of England and/or pay

		fees to the FSA calculated by reference to the liabilities used to fund the relevant Eurocurrency Loan or such sum.

		The “Mandatory Costs Rate” will be the rate determined by the Agent to be equal to the rate (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/16 of 1%) resulting from the application of the following formula:

		For Sterling:

		XL + S(L-D) + F x 0.01 100-(X+S)

		For other Designated Foreign Currencies:

		F x 0.01 300

		where on the day of application of the formula

X		is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (in excess of any stated minimum) by reference to which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) is required under or pursuant to the Act to maintain cash ratio deposits with the Bank of England;

L		is the rate of interest (exclusive of Applicable Rate, the effect of the Statutory Reserve Rate and Mandatory Costs Rate) payable on that day on the related Eurocurrency Loan or unpaid sum pursuant to this Agreement;

F		is the rate of charge payable by JPMCB to the FSA pursuant to the Fees Regulations and expressed in pounds per £1 million of the Fee Base of JPMCB;

S		is the level of interest-bearing Special Deposits, expressed as a percentage of Eligible Liabilities, which JPMCB is required to maintain by the Bank of England (or other United Kingdom governmental authorities or agencies); and

D		is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to JPMCB on Special Deposits.

		(X, L, S and D are to be expressed in the formula as numbers and not as percentages. A negative result obtained from subtracting D from L shall be counted as zero.)

		The Mandatory Costs Rate attributable to a Eurocurrency Loan or other sum for any period shall be calculated at or about 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the first day of such period for the duration of such period.

Re: Five-Year Credit Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am General Counsel of Dover Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the Five-Year Credit Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2007 (the “Five-Year Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the Borrowing Subsidiaries from time to time party thereto, the Lenders listed on the signature pages thereof and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. This opinion is being rendered to you pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(i) of the Five-Year Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings attributed to them in the Five-Year Credit Agreement.

The Company conducts substantially all of its business through its Segments. I am not the General Counsel of any of the Segments, but the Segments report to me quarterly on material litigation and/or contingencies and review other legal matters with me from time to time.

I have examined the Five-Year Credit Agreement and the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as I have deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinions set forth below.

In such examination, I have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified, photostatic or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

As to various questions of fact material to the opinions rendered herein, I have relied upon the statements and representations in the documents which I have examined. I have assumed the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of the documents that I have examined by each party thereto other than the Company, that each such party has the full power, authority and legal right to enter into and perform its obligations under each such document to which it is a party, that each such document

constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of each such other party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, and that each such party has satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make such documents enforceable against it.

Based upon my examination, as described above, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications stated, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and in good standing and has a legal corporate existence under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is duly qualified and in good standing in each other jurisdiction in the United States where the failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole. The Company has all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted, except for any such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, the failure to have which would not have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Five-Year Credit Agreement are within the Company’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. The Five-Year Credit Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Five-Year Credit Agreement will not (a) require the consent, approval or authorization of, or any registration, declaration or filing with, the State of New York or the United States of America, or any of their respective agencies, other than filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (b) violate any statute or regulation of the State of New York or the United States of America applicable to the Company.

4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Five-Year Credit Agreement will not contravene, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries listed on Annex 1 hereto under the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument actually known to me and binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries listed on Annex 1 hereto. Based on factual information provided by the Company, the Subsidiaries listed on Annex 1 hereto are all the Company’s Subsidiaries incorporated in any jurisdiction within the United States which fall within the definition of a “significant subsidiary” contained as of the date hereof in Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

5. The Five-Year Credit Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

6. To my knowledge, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending against or threatened against or affecting the Company 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 have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, or which in any manner draws into question the validity of the Five-Year Credit Agreement.

7. Each of the Company’s corporate Subsidiaries listed on Annex 1 hereto is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and has all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted, except for any such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, the failure to have which would not have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

8. The Company is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

In giving the opinions expressed above, I express no opinion as to the enforceability of provisions indemnifying a party for its own wrongful or negligent acts or where the indemnification is contrary to public policy. I also wish to point out that the enforceability of provisions in the Five-Year Credit Agreement to the effect that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited under certain circumstances.

My opinion with respect to the enforceability of the Five-Year Credit Agreement may be limited or otherwise affected by (a) applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws which relate to or affect creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity, including (1) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (2) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

I am a member of the Bar of the State of New York and the foregoing opinions are limited to the laws of the State of New York, the federal laws of the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

[Form of Borrowing Subsidiary Opinion]

[Letterhead of Counsel]

[ ], 20[ ]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] counsel to each corporation listed on Schedule I attached hereto (each, a “New Borrowing Subsidiary”) in connection with the following documents:

(a) Five-Year Credit Agreement dated as of November 9, 2007 (the “Five-Year Credit Agreement”), among Dover Corporation, the Borrowing Subsidiaries from time to time party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent; and

(b) the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements dated as of [ ], 20[ ] (the “Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements”), among Dover Corporation, the Agent and each New Borrowing Subsidiary.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Five-Year Credit Agreement.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements and such other documents as we have deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion.

In such examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, photostatic or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

As to various questions of fact material to the opinions rendered herein, we have relied upon the statements and representations in the documents which we have examined. We have assumed the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of the documents that we have examined by each party thereto other than the New Borrowing Subsidiaries, that each such party has the full power, authority and legal right to enter into, and perform its obligations under, each such document to which it is a party, that each such document constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of each such other party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, and

that such party has satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make such documents enforceable against it.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions and qualifications stated herein, it is our opinion that:

1. Each New Borrowing Subsidiary is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] and has the corporate powers, and has been authorized by all necessary corporate action, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement to which it is a party. Each Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each New Borrowing Subsidiary that is party thereto.

2. The execution, delivery and performance of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements by the New Borrowing Subsidiaries will not violate any law, statute, rule or regulation of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] or any order of any governmental authority of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION].

3. No action, consent or approval of, registration or filing with or other action by any governmental authority of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] is or will be required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the New Borrowing Subsidiaries of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements.

4. It is not necessary under the laws of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] that the Agent, any Agent Designee or any Lender be licensed, qualified or entitled to do business in [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] (a) by reason of the execution or performance of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements or (b) in order to enable any of them to enforce their respective rights under any Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements, and none of them is or will be deemed to be resident, domiciled, carrying on business or subject to taxation in [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] solely by reason of the execution, performance or enforcement of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements.]*

5. The New York governing law clauses set forth in such Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements are valid and binding under the laws of [SPECIFY JURISDICTION].

6. Any judgment or award by the New York Courts in an action, suit or proceeding against any New Borrowing Subsidiary arising out of any of the Loan Documents to which it is party would be recognized and enforced in [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] and any political subdivision thereof and it would not be necessary to commence new proceedings in [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] other than a proceeding in which proof of such judgment or award is submitted.]*

7. No [SPECIFY JURISDICTION] ad valorem stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax or other tax, fee or charge is payable on the execution of the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements.

[FORM OF ACCESSION AGREEMENT]

ACCESSION AGREEMENT dated as of [ ], 20[ ], among [ ] (the “Acceding Lender”), DOVER CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”) for the Lenders (as defined in the Five-Year Credit Agreement referred to below).

A. Reference is made to the Five-Year Credit Agreement dated as of November 9, 2007 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Five-Year Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the Borrowing Subsidiaries from time to time party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent.

B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Five-Year Credit Agreement.

C. The Company has invited, and the Acceding Lender desires, to become a party to the Five-Year Credit Agreement and to assume the obligations of a Lender thereunder. The Acceding Lender is entering into this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Five-Year Credit Agreement in order to become a Lender thereunder.

Accordingly, the Acceding Lender, the Company and the Agent agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Accession to the Five-Year Credit Agreement. (a) The Acceding Lender, as of the Effective Date, hereby accedes to the Five-Year Credit Agreement and shall thereafter have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Lender.

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties, Agreements of Acceding Lender, etc. The Acceding Lender (a) represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into this Agreement; (b) confirms that it has received a copy of the Five-Year Credit Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Five-Year Credit Agreement and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement; (c) confirms that it will independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any Lender, 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 the Five-Year Credit Agreement; (d) appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the

Five-Year Credit Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (e) agrees that it will perform, in accordance with the terms of the Five-Year Credit Agreement, all the obligations that by the terms of the Five-Year Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

SECTION 3. Effectiveness. (a) This Agreement shall become effective as of the date set forth above on the date (the “Effective Date”) that the Agent shall have received counterparts of this Agreement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the Agent, the Company and the Acceding Lender.

(b) Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Agent shall (i) record the information contained herein in the Register and (ii) promptly deliver a copy of this Agreement to the Lenders.

SECTION 6. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, none of the parties hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Five-Year Credit Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 7. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.01 of the Five-Year Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the Acceding Lender shall be given to it at the address set forth under its signature hereto, which information, together with the amount of the Acceding Lender’s Commitment, supplements Schedule 2.01 to the Five-Year Credit Agreement.
