Employer incorporation or organization) File Number) Identification No.) 222 W.

Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. On March 21, 2002, Flowserve Corporation (the "Company") entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement") with Invensys plc (the "Seller") pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire the Flow Control Division of the Seller ("IFC"). On May 2, 2002, the acquisition of IFC by the Company was completed. On that date, the Seller transferred to the Company and its subsidiaries all of the ownership interests in the entities and the assets comprising IFC and entered into a non-competition agreement with the Company for an aggregate purchase price of US$535,000,000 in cash. This purchase price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments and reimbursements that will be determined in accordance with the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. A copy of the press release dated May 2, 2002 issued by Flowserve Corporation announcing the completion of the acquisition of IFC is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. Also on May 2, 2002, the Company amended its existing bank senior credit facility with Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, as Syndication Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Swingline Lender, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for the lenders, and certain lenders from time to time party thereto (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"), to, among other things, increase the loan commitments under the facility. Specifically, the Company borrowed approximately $700 million under a new Tranche C term loan and approximately $95 million under a new Tranche A term loan (the "Incremental Tranche A Term Loan") and repaid approximately $11 million of the existing Tranche A term loan and the outstanding balance of approximately $469 million of the existing Tranche B term loan. The new Tranche C term loan has terms that are substantially different from the Tranche B term loan including an extension of the final maturity date from 2008 to 2009, a lower interest rate and modified covenants. The net proceeds after these repayments were used to finance a portion of the purchase price and transaction costs associated with the purchase of IFC. The balance of the purchase price and transaction costs associated with the purchase of IFC was financed through the Company's issuance of 9.2 million of its common shares. A copy of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of a Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be entitled to request any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. (f) If, with respect to any L/C Disbursement made under a Standby Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Company the payment required to be made by Section 2.23(e) within the time specified in such Section, such Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such L/C Disbursement, the Dollar Equivalent thereof (if denominated in an Alternative Currency) and its Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available dollars to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., Dallas time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 11:00 a.m., Dallas time, on any day, not later than 1:00 p.m., Dallas time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (or the Dollar 33 Equivalent thereof, if such L/C Disbursement was denominated in an Alternative Currency) (it being understood that such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Revolving Loan of such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the Standby L/C Exposure), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Company pursuant to Section 2.23(e) prior to the time that any Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f); any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the applicable Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and the Company severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Company, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate. SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan or a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(f), as to which this Section 2.03 shall not apply), a Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Borrowing Request (a) in the case of a Euro Rate Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Dallas time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., Dallas time, one Business Day before a proposed Borrowing. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, shall be signed by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower and shall specify the following information: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be an Incremental Tranche A Term Borrowing, a Tranche C Term Borrowing or a Revolving Credit Borrowing, and whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing (provided that until the Syndication Agent shall have notified the Company and the Administrative Agent that the primary syndication of the Tranche C Commitments has been completed (which notice shall be given as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within 30 days after the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Closing Date), the Company shall only request, at its option, Tranche C Borrowings as either (x) ABR Borrowings or (y) Eurocurrency Borrowings with one-month Interest Periods all ending on the same date); (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed (which shall be an account that complies with the requirements of Section 2.02(c); (iv) the amount of such Borrowing and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Euro Rate Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Euro Rate Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant 34 to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender's portion of the requested Borrowing. SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) The Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (i) the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender made to Company as provided in Section 2.11 and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Company hereby promises to pay the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the last day of a calendar month and is at least fifteen days after such Swingline Loan is made. The Subsidiary Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender made to the Subsidiary Borrower as provided in Section 2.11. (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Borrower in respect thereof, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the applicable Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from a Borrower or any Guarantor and each Lender's share thereof. (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. In the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender's records, the recordations of the Register shall govern. (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, each applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns. SECTION 2.05. Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to each Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December, in each year and on each date on which any Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a "Commitment Fee") equal to 0.50% per annum on the average daily unused amount (treating Standby L/C Exposure as usage of the Revolving Credit Commitments) of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender (other than the Swingline Commitment) during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender shall expire or be terminated). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the date hereof and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein. For purposes of calculating Commitment Fees only, no portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed utilized as a result of outstanding Swingline Loans or Trade Letters of Credit. (b) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative fees set forth in the Administrative Agent's Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the "Administrative Agent Fees"). (c) The Company agrees to pay to Agents (as defined in the Fee Letter), for their own account (and/or the account of the Lenders, if the Agents so elect), the Underwriting and Arrangement Fee set forth in the Fee Letter. (d) The Company agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Credit Lender, in dollars, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December, of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an "L/C Participation Fee") calculated on such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the daily aggregate Standby L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders shall have been terminated) at a rate equal to (x) in the case of Financial Letters of Credit and, during any time the Company has not obtained and maintained Investment Grade Ratings, Performance Letters of Credit, the Applicable Percentage from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Revolving Credit Borrowings comprised of Eurocurrency Loans pursuant to Section 2.06 (the "Financial L/C Rate") and (y) in the case of Performance Letters of Credit at any time that the Company has obtained and maintained Investment Grade Ratings, 65% of the Financial L/C Rate, and (ii) to the applicable Issuing Bank with respect to each Standby Letter of Credit a fronting fee equal to 1/8 of 1% per annum (or such other amount as may be agreed upon by the Company and the applicable Issuing Bank) on the aggregate face amount of such Letter of Credit plus the amount of any other issuance and drawing costs specified from time to time by such Issuing Bank with regard to a Letter of Credit (the "Issuing Bank Fees"). All L/C Participation Fees and, except as otherwise agreed by the Company and the applicable Issuing Bank, Issuing Bank Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. For purposes of determining the amount of the L/C Participation Fees with respect to any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the Standby L/C Exposure shall be determined by the Administrative Agent using the Exchange Rates in effect at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date that is two Business Days before the payment of the L/C Participation Fee. 36 (e) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances. SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, including each Swingline Loan, shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time. (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each EURIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the EURIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time. (d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or EURIBOR Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If a Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, or under any other Loan Document, such Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount to but excluding the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) (a) in the case of overdue principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Revolving Loan plus 2.00%. SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined that deposits in the currency of the applicable Loans in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the applicable interbank market, or that the rates at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its Euro Rate Loan during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or EURIBOR Rate, as applicable for the applicable 37 Loan, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telecopy notice of such determination to the Company and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (a) any request by a Borrower for a Eurocurrency Borrowing in dollars, pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing and (b) if the applicable Loan is denominated in an Alternate Currency, such Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to a rate determined by Administrative Agent as approximating the Lenders' cost of funds for such Alternate Currency plus the Applicable Percentage. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Original Term Loan Commitments terminated on the Original Closing Date. The Incremental Tranche A Commitments and the Tranche C Commitments shall automatically terminate at 7:00 p.m., Dallas time, on the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Closing Date. The Revolving Credit Commitments, the Swingline Commitment and the L/C Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all the Incremental Tranche A Commitments and the Tranche C Commitments shall automatically terminate at 7:00 p.m., Dallas time, on July 31, 2002, if the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Closing Date shall not have occurred by such time. (b) Upon at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable written or telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) the Company may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Tranche C Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the Subsidiary Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Incremental Tranche A Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at the time. (c) Each reduction in the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, the Commitment Fees on the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction. SECTION 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. A Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 12:00 noon, Dallas time, one Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any Eurocurrency Borrowing in dollars into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 12:00 noon, Dallas time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurocurrency Borrowing, to continue any Eurocurrency Borrowing as a Eurocurrency Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, or to continue any EURIBOR Borrowing as a EURIBOR Borrowing for an additional Interest Period and (c) not later than 12:00 noon, Dallas time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any 38 Euro Rate Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following: (i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing; (ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type; (iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Euro Rate Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the applicable Borrower at the time of conversion; (iv) if any Euro Rate Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16; (v) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Euro Rate Borrowing and Term Loans made in one currency may in no event be converted into a Loan in another currency; (vi) any portion of a Euro Rate Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a Euro Rate Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing; (vii) no Interest Period may be selected for any Euro Rate Term Borrowing that would end later than a Term Loan Repayment Date occurring on or after the first day of such Interest Period if, after giving effect to such selection, the aggregate outstanding amount of (A) the Euro Rate Term Borrowings comprised of Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche C Term Loans, as applicable, with Interest Periods ending on or prior to such Term Loan Repayment Date and (B) the ABR Term Borrowings comprised of Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche C Term Loans, as applicable would not be at least equal to the principal amount of Term Borrowings to be paid on such Term Loan Repayment Date; (viii) upon notice to the Company from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Euro Rate Loan; and (ix) until the Syndication Agent shall have notified the Company and the Administrative Agent that the primary syndication of the Tranche C Commitments has been completed (which notice shall be given by the Syndication Agent as promptly as practicable and, 39 in any event, within 30 days after the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Closing Date), no Tranche C ABR Borrowing may be converted into a Eurocurrency Borrowing (other than a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of not more than one-month's duration and which does not end on a date different from any other outstanding Tranche C Eurocurrency Borrowing). Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the applicable Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto.

The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender's portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If a Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), if in dollars, automatically be continued into a new Interest Period as an ABR Borrowing or, if in an Alternative Currency, automatically be continued into a new Interest Period of one month's duration as a Euro Rate Borrowing.

If (i) at any time as a result of any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, or (ii) on any Calculation Date as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect thereto, then the Company shall, on the date of such reduction or termination or on such Calculation Date, as the case may be, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings or Swingline Loans (or a combination thereof) and/or replace or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. In addition, if on any date the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and the Pari Passu Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, then on such date the Company shall either (i) repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings or Swingline Loans (or a combination thereof) and replace or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit and/or (ii) reduce the Pari Passu Exposure, in either case in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. (b) Not later than the tenth Business Day following the completion of any Asset Sale, the Company shall apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(h). (c) Subject to paragraph (k) below, in the event and on each occasion that an Equity Issuance occurs, the Borrowers shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the fifth Business Day next following) the occurrence of each Equity Issuance, prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(h) in an aggregate amount equal to 75% of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom ; provided, however, that in the event the Leverage Ratio on the date of such Equity Issuance (and after giving effect thereto and to the use of the 43 proceeds thereof) is less than 3.0 to 1.0, such amount shall be reduced to 50%; provided further that with respect to the Spring 2002 Equity Issuance, substantially concurrently with the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Closing Date, (A) the Company may apply up to $200,000,000 of the gross proceeds therefrom to finance the Acquisition and costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, (B) to the extent such gross proceeds exceed $200,000,000, the amount of such excess less the amount of the underwriters' discount on such gross proceeds in excess of $200,000,000 shall be applied by the Company to repay Revolving Loans (without reducing the Revolving Credit Commitments) outstanding on the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Closing Date up to $40,000,000 and (C) to the extent such gross proceeds exceed an amount equal to $200,000,000 less the amount of the underwriters' discount on such gross proceeds in excess of $200,000,000 plus the lesser of the amount of Revolving Loans outstanding on the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Closing Date and $40,000,000, an amount equal to 24.59474% of such excess (which excess is $45,750,020) shall be applied by the Company to prepay Original Tranche A Term Loans and the remainder may be applied to finance the Acquisition and the costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. (d) Subject to paragraph (k) below, no later than the earlier of (i) 100 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2001, and (ii) the date on which the financial statements with respect to such period are delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(a), the Borrowers shall prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(h) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 75% of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year then ended; provided, however, that in the event the Leverage Ratio at the end of such fiscal year was less than 3.0 to 1.0, but greater than 2.5 to 1.0, such amount shall be reduced to 50% of such Excess Cash Flow, and if the Leverage Ratio at the end of such fiscal year was less than 2.5 to 1.0, such amount shall be reduced to 0% of such Excess Cash Flow. (e) Subject to paragraph (k) below, in the event that any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from (i) the issuance or other disposition of Indebtedness for money borrowed of any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party including any New Subordinated Debt (other than Indebtedness for money borrowed permitted pursuant to Section 6.01 other than any New Subordinated Debt) or (ii) the establishment of the Receivables Program or any subsequent increase thereto, the Borrowers shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the fifth Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by a Loan Party or a subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(h). (f) Subject to paragraph (k) below, in the event that there shall occur any Casualty or Condemnation and, pursuant to the applicable Mortgage, the Casualty Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, as the case may be, are required to be used to prepay the Term Loans, then the Borrowers shall apply an amount up to 100% (as determined pursuant to the applicable Mortgage) of such Casualty Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, as the case may be, to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(h). (g) In the event that the Company or any of its subsidiaries receives a refund of any portion of the purchase price paid for in connection with the Acquisition including pursuant to Article IV of the Invensys Purchase Agreement, the Borrowers shall, simultaneously with (and in any event no later than the fifth Business Day next following) the receipt of such refund, apply 44 an amount equal to 100% of such refund to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(g). (h) Mandatory prepayments of outstanding Term Loans under this Agreement shall be allocated pro rata between the then-outstanding Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche C Term Loans, and, subject to paragraph (j) below, applied pro rata against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche C Term Loans under Sections 2.11(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), respectively (with amounts paid in respect of the Incremental Tranche A Term Loans being applied first to Incremental Tranche A Term Loans to the Company until the same are paid in full and then to Incremental Tranche A Term Loans to the Subsidiary Borrower unless the Lenders having outstanding Incremental Tranche A Term Loans and the Company otherwise agree). (i) The Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.13, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three days prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. (j) Until the payment in full of the Tranche A Term Loans, any Lender with Tranche C Term Loans outstanding may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing (or by telephone or telecopy promptly confirmed in writing) at least two Business Days prior to any prepayment of Tranche C Term Loans required to be made by the Company for the account of such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13, to cause all or a portion of such prepayment to be allocated instead to the then-outstanding Tranche A Term Loans to be applied pro rata against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect thereof under Section 2.11(a)(i) and (iii) (with amounts paid in respect of the Incremental Tranche A Term Loans being applied first to Incremental Tranche A Term Loans to the Company until the same are paid in full and then to Incremental Tranche A Term Loans to the Subsidiary Borrower unless the Lenders having outstanding Incremental Tranche A Term Loans and the Company otherwise agree). (k) The provisions of paragraphs (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 2.13 shall cease to be effective upon the Company's obtaining, and so long as the Company maintains, Investment Grade Ratings. SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or such Issuing Bank or the London interbank market (or other relevant interbank market) any other condition affecting this Agreement or Euro Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Euro Rate 45 Loan or increase the cost to any Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, then the Company will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participations in Letters of Credit purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time the Company shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered. (c) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same. (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender or Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 90 days prior to such request if such Lender or Issuing Bank knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 90-day period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender and Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, agreement, guideline or other change or condition that shall have occurred or been imposed. (e) This Section 2.14 shall not apply to any Change in Law with respect to Taxes, including, but not limited to, changes in the rate of Taxes pertaining to any particular Lender. 46 SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if (i) any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Euro Rate Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Euro Rate Loan, or shall make it unlawful for any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit or make or maintain Incremental Tranche A Term Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, or (ii) there shall have occurred any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions (including the imposition of or any change in exchange controls) or currency exchange rates which would make it impracticable for any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit denominated in such Alternative Currency, then, by written notice to the Company and to the Administrative Agent: (i) such Lender may declare that Eurocurrency Loans in dollars will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurocurrency Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurocurrency Borrowing or to continue a Eurocurrency Borrowing, as the case may be, for an additional Interest Period) in dollars shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Euro currency Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; (ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurocurrency Loans in dollars made by it be converted to ABR Loans in which event all such Eurocurrency Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below; (iii) in the case of any such change affecting an Issuing Bank's ability to issue Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Issuing Bank may declare that Letters of Credit will not thereafter be issued in the affected Alternative Currency or Currencies, whereupon the affected Alternative Currency or Currencies shall be deemed (for the duration of such unlawfulness and with respect to such Issuing Bank only) not to constitute an Alternative Currency; and (iv) such Lender may require that all of its outstanding Eurocurrency Loans made in Sterling and its outstanding EURIBOR Loans bear interest at a rate, determined by such Lender as approximates such Lender's cost of funds plus the Applicable Percentage from and after the effective date of such notice. In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurocurrency Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurocurrency Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurocurrency Loans. (b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to a Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Euro Rate Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the 47 Interest Period currently applicable to such Euro Rate Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the applicable Borrower. SECTION 2.16. Indemnity. Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Euro Rate Loan made to such Borrower prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Euro Rate Loan to an ABR Loan made to such Borrower, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Euro Rate Loan made to such Borrower, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Euro Rate Loan to be made by such Lender to such Borrower (including any Euro Rate Loan to be made to such Borrower pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by such Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a "Breakage Event") or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment by such Borrower required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Euro Rate Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as provided below in this Section 2.17 with respect to Swingline Loans and as required under Sections 2.13(j) and 2.15, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). For purposes of determining the available Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Swingline Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders which shall not have made Swingline Loans) pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender's portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender's percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount. SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim against a Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans or L/C 48 Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans and L/C Exposure of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and L/C Exposure and participations in Loans and L/C Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans and L/C Exposure prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. Each Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by such Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to such Borrower in the amount of such participation. SECTION 2.19. Payments. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees or other amounts) required to be made by it hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 12:00 noon, Dallas time, on the date when due in immediately available funds, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment (other than (i) Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank, (ii) principal of and interest on Swingline Loans, which shall be paid directly to the Swingline Lender except as otherwise provided in Section 2.21(e) and (iii) principal and interest on Incremental Tranche A Term Loans made to the Subsidiary Borrower, which shall be made to Administrative Agent or its Affiliate for distribution to the Lenders making the Incremental Tranche A Term Loans in a manner separately agreed by the Company, Administrative Agent and such Lenders) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the address specified for payments in Section 9.01. Each such payment (other than L/C Disbursements and Incremental Tranche A Term Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency and Issuing Bank Fees with respect to Letters of Credit dominated in an Alternative Currency, for which payments of principal and interest shall be made in the applicable Alternative Currency) shall be made in dollars. (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable. SECTION 2.20. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of a Borrower or any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if a Borrower or any Loan Party shall 49 be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (b) In addition, the applicable Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (c) The applicable Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment on account of any obligation of such Borrower or any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document on such Borrower's behalf (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (e) Any Foreign Lender (or any participating bank or other entity that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (or, in the case of a participating bank or other entity, the Foreign Lender from which the related participation was purchased), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. In addition, each Foreign Lender (or participating bank or other entity that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender) shall deliver substitute forms upon becoming aware of the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender (or participating bank or other entity) or upon the reasonable request of a Borrower. 50 SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender or Issuing Bank delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20, the Company may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender or Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or Issuing Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, of the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (z) the applicable Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or Issuing Bank in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans or L/C Disbursements of such Lender or Issuing Bank, respectively, plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (including any amounts under Section 2.14 and Section 2.16); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender's or Issuing Bank's claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender or Issuing Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender or Issuing Bank shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event, as the case may be, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. (b) If (i) any Lender or Issuing Bank shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or Issuing Bank, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender or Issuing Bank to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by a Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer. SECTION 2.22. Swingline Loans. (a) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Swingline Lender agrees to make loans to the Company, in dollars, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans (other than Swingline Loans made pursuant to Section 2.22(c)) exceeding $25,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the Pari Passu Exposure and the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. Except for Swingline Loans made pursuant to Section 2.22(c), each Swingline Loan shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000. The Swingline Commitment may be terminated or reduced from time to time as provided herein. Within the foregoing limits, the Company may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein. (b) Making of Swingline Loans. Except with respect to Swingline Loans made pursuant to Section 2.22(c) (as to which this Section 2.22(b) shall not apply), the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent by telecopy, or by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 12:00 noon, Dallas time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Such notice shall be delivered on a Business Day, shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any notice received from the Company pursuant to this paragraph (b). The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Company by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Company with the Swingline Lender by 5:00 p.m., Dallas time, on the date such Swingline Loan is so requested. (c) Trade L/C Disbursements. If the Issuing Bank of any Trade Letters of Credit shall not have received from the Company the payment required to be made by Section 2.23(e) with respect to such Trade Letters of Credit within the time specified in such Section, such Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender of the L/C Disbursement. The amount of such L/C Disbursement (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, if denominated in an Alternative Currency) shall be deemed to constitute a Swingline Loan of the Swingline Lender made to the Company on the date of such L/C Disbursement and shall be deemed to have reduced the Trade L/C Exposure. (d) Prepayment. The Company shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written, or telecopy notice) to the Swingline Lender and to the Administrative Agent before 2:00 p.m., Dallas time, on the date of prepayment at the Swingline Lender's address for notices specified on Schedule 2.01. All principal payments of Swingline Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid to the date of payment. 52 (e) Interest. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.06(a). Interest on each Swingline Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date with respect thereto. (f) Participations. If the Company does not fully repay a Swingline Loan on or prior to the due date therefor (whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise), the Swingline Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof (by telecopy or by telephone, confirmed in writing), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender thereof (by telecopy or by telephone, confirmed in writing) and of its Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan. Upon such notice but without any further action, the Swingline Lender hereby agrees to grant to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees to acquire from the Swingline Lender, a participation in such defaulted Swingline Loan equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of such defaulted Swingline Loan. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of each Swingline Loan that is not repaid when due in accordance with Section 2.04(a) or Article VII. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Company (or other party on behalf of the Company) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Company (or other party liable for obligations of the Company) of any default in the payment thereof. SECTION 2.23. Letters of Credit. (a) General. The Company may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit for its own account or the account of any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (in which case the Company and such wholly owned subsidiary of the Company shall be co-applicants with respect to such Letter of Credit) in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time while the Revolving Credit Commitments remain in effect. This Section shall not be construed to 53 impose an obligation upon any Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of Credit), the Company shall hand deliver, telecopy or send electronically to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (two Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying whether such Letter of Credit is to be a Financial Letter of Credit, a Performance Letter of Credit or a Trade Letter of Credit (such designation to be subject to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably), the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated (which shall be dollars or, subject to Section 2.15, an Alternative Currency), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Company shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the sum of the L/C Exposure and the Pari Passu Exposure shall not exceed $200,000,000, (ii) the Trade L/C Exposure shall not exceed $10,000,000 and (iii) the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and the Pari Passu Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. (c) Expiration Date. Each Trade Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of the date that is 360 days after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date. Each Financial Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date. Each Performance Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of the date that is three years after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) one or more Performance Letters of Credit in an aggregate face amount not to exceed $40,000,000 at any time outstanding may expire on a date that is more than three years after the date of issuance thereof (but not later than five business days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date) and (ii) one or more Financial Letters of Credit and/or Performance Letters of Credit may, upon the request of the Company, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of 12 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed. (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Standby Letter of Credit and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank 54 hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from the applicable Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank in respect of a Standby Letter of Credit and not reimbursed by the Company (or, if applicable, another party pursuant to its obligations under any other Loan Document) forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.02(f), in dollars, notwithstanding that such L/C Disbursement may be denominated in an Alternative Currency. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Standby Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. (e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than two hours after the Company shall have received notice from such Issuing Bank that payment of such draft will be made, or, if the Company shall have received such notice later than 12:00 noon, Dallas time, on any Business Day, not later than 12:00 noon, Dallas time, on the immediately following Business Day. (f) Obligations Absolute. The Company's obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein; (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document; (iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Company, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Company, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction; (iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 55 (v) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of any Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Company's obligations hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Company hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Issuing Bank. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Company that are caused by such Issuing Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof; it is understood that each Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit (i) an Issuing Bank's exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of an Issuing Bank. (g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by telecopy, to the Administrative Agent and the Company of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Revolving Credit Lender notice thereof. (h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Standby Letter of Credit, then, unless the Company shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of such Issuing Bank, for each day from and including the date of such L/C Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of the date of payment by the Company or the date on which interest shall commence to 56 accrue thereon as provided in Section 2.02(f), at the rate per annum that would apply to such amount if such amount were an ABR Revolving Loan. If such amount is denominated in an Alternative Currency, then the interest rate applicable thereto shall be determined by such Issuing Bank to be the average rate (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) at which overnight deposits in such Alternative Currency are obtainable by such Issuing Bank on such date in the relevant interbank market plus the Applicable Percentage for Eurocurrency Loans at the time. (i) Resignation or Removal of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 180 days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Company, and may be removed at any time by the Company by notice to the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Subject to the next succeeding paragraph, upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to serve as successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank and the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its obligations to issue additional Letters of Credit hereunder. At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Company shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii). The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or removal of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Company shall, on the Business Day it receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Standby Letters of Credit) thereof and of the amount to be deposited, deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the L/C Exposure as of such date. Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits in Permitted Investments, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for L/C Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed, (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Company for the L/C Exposure at such time and (iii) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Standby Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Standby Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the Obligations. If the Company is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. (k) Additional Issuing Banks. The Company may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of the Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (k) shall be deemed to be an "Issuing Bank" (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Banks and such Lender. SECTION 2.24. Company as Subsidiary Borrower's Agent. Company is hereby appointed as the Subsidiary Borrower's agent hereunder by the Subsidiary Borrower. Subsidiary Borrower hereby authorizes, directs and empowers Company to act for and in the name of such Borrower and as its agent hereunder and under the other instruments and agreements referred to herein. Company hereby accepts such appointment. Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Company to take such action on such Borrower's behalf and to exercise such powers hereunder, under the other Loan Documents, and under the other agreements and instruments referred to herein or therein as may be contemplated being taken or exercised by such Borrower by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be incidental thereto, including, without limitation, to borrow hereunder and deliver Borrowing Requests, notices of conversion or continuation, to elect to convert, continue, repay or prepay Loans made hereunder, to reduce the Commitments, to pay interest, fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Loans, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the other agreements and instruments referred to herein or therein, to receive from or deliver to Administrative Agent any notices, statements, reports, certificates or other documents or instruments contemplated herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any other agreement or instrument referred to herein and to receive from or transmit to Administrative Agent any Loan proceeds or payments. Each Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely on the appointment and authorization of Company with respect to all matters related to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other agreements or instruments referred to herein or therein whether or not any particular provision hereof or thereof specifies that such matters may or shall be undertaken by Subsidiary Borrower's agent. In reliance hereon, each Agent and each Lender may deal only with Company with the same effect as if such Agent or such Lender had dealt with Subsidiary Borrower separately and individually.

SECTION 3.16. Employee Benefit Plans. Each of the Company and its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder, except where such non-compliance, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(m) any of the Obligations shall cease to constitute "Senior Indebtedness" under and as defined in either the Dollar Subordinated Note Indenture or the Euro Subordinated Note Indenture; or (n) there shall have occurred a Change in Control;

ARTICLE VIII The Agents SECTION 8.01. Appointment. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 8.03) appoints Bank of America, N.A. to act as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and Credit Suisse First Boston to act as Syndication Agent. Each of the Lenders and each assignee of any such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agents to take such actions on behalf of such Lender or assignee or 88 Issuing Bank and to exercise such powers as are specifically delegated to the Agents by the terms and provisions hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, without hereby limiting any implied authority, (i) to receive on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans, all payments in respect of L/C Disbursements and all other amounts due to the Lenders hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Lender or Issuing Bank its proper share of each payment so received; (ii) to give notice on behalf of each of the Lenders to the Company of any Event of Default specified in this Agreement of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its agency hereunder; and (iii) to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by the Company or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as received by the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the First Amended and Restated Security Documents. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. (b) The Issuing Banks shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by them and the documents associated therewith until such time and except for so long as the Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Required Lenders to act for such Issuing Bank with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Issuing Banks shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agents in this Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by an Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Agent" as used in this Article VIII included Issuing Banks with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to Issuing Banks. SECTION 8.02. Liability of Agents. Neither the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by any of them except for its or his own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in any Loan Document. The Agents shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the due execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or 89 effectiveness of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, instruments or agreements. The Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders. Each Agent shall, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Neither the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any responsibility to any Borrower or any other Loan Party on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any Lender or Issuing Bank of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender or Issuing Bank on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or Issuing Bank or a Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of their respective obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith. Each of the Agents may execute any and all duties hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by it with respect to all matters arising hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel. SECTION 8.03. Resignation and Replacement. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, any Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor acceptable to the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that the consent of the Company shall not be required to any such appointment during the continuance of any Event of Default. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. SECTION 8.04. Agent in Individual Capacity. With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, each Agent in its individual capacity and not as Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the Agents and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent. SECTION 8.05. Indemnification of Agents. Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse the Agents, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on the aggregate amount of its outstanding Term Loans and its Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder) of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Agents, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, the allocated cost of internal legal services, all disbursements of internal counsel 90 and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, that shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrowers and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as Agent or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent or any such other indemnified person for any portion of such liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents. Each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to reimburse each Issuing Bank and its directors, employees and agents, in each case, to the same extent and subject to the same limitations as provided above for the Agents. In addition, each Lender shall promptly return to Administrative Agent the amount of any payment made to such Lender in anticipation of reciept of amounts due from a Borrower in the event such payment is not made by such Borrower as and when due (which amounts shall be returned to Administrative Agent with interest at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks). SECTION 8.06. No Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. SECTION 8.07. Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except, in the case of the Administrative Agent, with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless such Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." An Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. 91 ARTICLE IX Miscellaneous SECTION 9.01.

SECTION 9.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and the conditions set forth in Section 6 of the Second Amendment have been satisfied, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party, which shall include, in the case of a Lender, any entity resulting from a merger or consolidation; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns. (b) Each Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender, (x) the Company and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender) must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that the consent of the Company shall not be required to any such assignment during the continuance of any Event of Default, and (y) the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 (or, if 93 less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender's Commitment), (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, however, that such processing and recordation fee shall not apply to any Assignment and Acceptances delivered to the Administrative Agent on or before the second Business Day following the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Closing Date (or, in the case of any Assignment and Acceptances by a Lender to an Affiliate or Related Fund thereof, on or before the tenth Business Day following such date) and shall not apply to assignments at any time by Administrative Agent or CSFB or their respective Affiliates and (iii) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid). (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Term Loan Commitment and Revolving Credit Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Term Loans and Revolving Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrowers or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other 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 this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, 94 by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. (d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance 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"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Collateral 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 this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above (if applicable) and, if required, the written consent of the Company, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e). Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment or outstanding Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as the Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans. (f) Each Lender may, without the consent of the Company, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 to the same extent as if they were Lenders provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to reimburse the participating banks or other entities pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.16 or 2.20 in an amount in excess of the amount that would have been payable thereunder to such Lender had such Lender not sold such participation (provided that the foregoing proviso is not intended to apply to initial participations in the Incremental Tranche A Term Loans made to the Subsidiary Borrower purchased by Lenders having Incremental Tranche A Commitments pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.01), (iv) a participating bank or other entity that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless the applicable Borrower is notified of the 95 participation sold to such participating bank or other entity and such participating bank or other entity agrees, for the benefit of such Borrower, to comply with Section 2.20(e) (provided that the foregoing notice requirement is not intended to apply to initial participations in the Incremental Tranche A Term Loans made to the Subsidiary Borrower purchased by Lenders having Incremental Tranche A Commitments pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.01), and (v) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers relating to the Loans or L/C Disbursements and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans, increasing or extending the Commitments or releasing any Guarantor or all or any substantial part of the Collateral). (g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Company or the Subsidiaries furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Company or the Subsidiaries; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by a Company as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.17. (h) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender without the consent of either of the Company or the Administrative Agent; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a "Granting Lender") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an "SPC"), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Company, the option to provide to a Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, 96 arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Company and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Company and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. (j) The Borrower (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. (k) The Subsidiary Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its respective rights or duties thereunder except to the Company without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender that holds any Incremental Tranche A Term Loans made to the Subsidiary Borrower, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Company agrees to pay all out-of-pocket expenses, the allocated cost of internal legal services and disbursements of internal counsel incurred by the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein and the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Agents or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of O'Melveny & Myers LLP, counsel for the Agents, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel (including the allocated costs of internal counsel) for the Agents or any Lender. (b) The Company agrees to indemnify the Agents, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, each Affiliate of any of the foregoing persons and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees and investment advisors (each such person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements and the allocated cost of internal legal services and disbursements of internal counsel, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the 97 foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. (c) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor. SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of a Borrower against any of and all the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement (including, in the case of the Company, Article X hereof) and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS (1993 REVISION), INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, PUBLICATION NO. 500 (THE "UNIFORM CUSTOMS") AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on a Borrower in any case shall entitle such Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or any date for reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of the Fees due to any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.17, the provisions of Section 9.04(j), the provisions of this Section, the definition of the term "Required Lenders" or release any Guarantor or all or any substantial part of the Collateral (except, in each case, any release expressly permitted by the Loan Documents), without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) change the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class, (v) change the rights of the Lenders holding Tranche C Term Loans to reject prepayments under Section 2.13(j) without the prior written consent of the Lenders holding a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Tranche C Term Loans or modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(i) without the written consent of such SPC; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender. SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or participation in any L/C Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or participation in such L/C Disbursement 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 or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation 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 or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such 99 Lender in respect of other Loans or participations 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 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Administrative Agent's Fee Letter, the Fee Letter and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11. SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties 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 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. SECTION 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 100 SECTION 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. (b) Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. (c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. SECTION 9.16. Judgment Currency. (a) The obligations of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in dollars or in any Alternative Currency (the "Obligation Currency") shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or a Lender or an Issuing Bank of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against a Borrower or any other Loan Party or in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the "Judgment Currency") an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made at the Alternative Currency Equivalent or Dollar Equivalent, in the case of any Alternative Currency or dollars, and, in the case of other currencies, the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the date immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the "Judgment Currency Conversion Date"). 101 (b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any judgment, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date. (c) For purposes of determining the Alternative Currency Equivalent or Dollar Equivalent or rate of exchange for this Section, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency. SECTION 9.17. Confidentiality. The Agents, each Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders agrees to keep confidential (and to use its best efforts to cause its respective agents and representatives to keep confidential) the Information (as defined below) and all copies thereof, extracts therefrom and analyses or other materials based thereon, except that any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be permitted to disclose Information (a) to such of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates and representatives as need to know such Information, (b) to a potential assignee or participant of such Lender or any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap agreement relating to the Loans or such potential assignee's or participant's or counterparty's advisors who need to know such Information (provided that any such potential assignee or participant or counterparty shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its advisors to, keep confidential all such Information on the terms set forth in this Section 9.17), (c) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), (d) to the extent otherwise required by applicable laws and regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (e) in connection with any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.17 or (ii) becomes available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, "Information" shall mean all financial statements, certificates, reports, agreements and information (including all analyses, compilations and studies prepared by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender based on any of the foregoing) that are received from any Borrower and related to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any shareholder of the Company or any employee, customer or supplier of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than any of the foregoing that were available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure thereto by any Borrower, and which are in the case of Information provided after the date hereof, clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. The provisions of this Section 9.17 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration and term of this Agreement. SECTION 9.18. European Monetary Union. If, as a result of the further implementation of European monetary union, (a) any Alternative Currency (other than the euro) ceases to be lawful currency of the nation issuing the same and is replaced by the euro, then any 102 amount payable hereunder by any party hereto in such currency shall instead be payable in euro and the amount so payable shall be determined by translating the amount payable in such currency to euro at the exchange rate recognized by the European Central Bank for the purpose of replacing such currency by the euro, or (b) any such Alternative Currency and the euro are at the same time recognized by the central bank or comparable authority of the nation issuing such currency as lawful currency of such nation, then (i) any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit issued at such time that would otherwise be denominated in such currency shall be denominated in euro and (ii) any other amount payable by any party hereto in such currency shall be payable in such currency or in euro (in an amount determined as set forth in clause (a)), at the election of the obligor. SECTION 9.19. Release of Collateral. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Security Document, all Collateral held under any Security Document shall be released from the Liens created thereunder, in each case without representation, warranty or recourse of any nature, on a Business Day specified by the Company (the "Release Date"), and the provisions of Section 5.09 of this Agreement insofar as they relate to Collateral shall cease to be of any force or effect, upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent: (i) the Company shall have given written notice to the Agents at least 30 days prior to the Release Date, specifying the proposed Release Date; (ii) as of the Release Date, the Company shall have obtained, and for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days, maintained Investment Grade Ratings; (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the Release Date; and (iv) on the Release Date, the Collateral Agent shall have received a certificate, dated the Release Date and executed on behalf of the Company by the President, a Vice President or a Financial Officer of the Company, confirming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) above. (b) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraph (a) above, on or after the Release Date, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Collateral Agent to, and the Collateral Agent hereby agrees to, deliver the Pledged Securities (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) to the Company and to execute and deliver to the Company all such instruments and documents as the Company may reasonably request to effectuate, evidence or confirm the releases of Collateral provided for in this Section 9.19. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 9.19 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent. (c) Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.05, the Company shall reimburse the Agents and the Lenders upon demand for all costs and expenses, including attorneys fees and disbursements and the allocated costs and disbursements of internal legal counsel, incurred by any of them in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 9.19. 103 ARTICLE X Company Guaranty SECTION 10.01. Guarantee. The Company unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, (a) the due and punctual payment of (i) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the Incremental Tranche A Term Loans made to the Subsidiary Borrower, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, and (ii) all other monetary Obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary Obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of the Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) the due and punctual payment and performance of all covenants, agreements, Obligations and liabilities of the Subsidiary Borrower under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (c) unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the applicable Lender party thereto, all Obligations of the Subsidiary Borrower, monetary or otherwise, under each Interest Rate Protection Agreement entered into with a counterparty that was a Lender at the time such Interest Rate Protection Agreement was entered into (all the monetary and other Obligations referred to in the preceding clauses (a) through (c) being collectively called the "Guarantied Obligations"). The Company further agrees that the Guarantied Obligations 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 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guarantied Obligation. SECTION 10.02. Guarantied Obligations Not Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by any applicable law, the Company waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Subsidiary Borrower of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantied Obligations of Company hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against the Subsidiary Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations, under any other Loan Document or otherwise, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any guarantee or any other agreement, or (c) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the security held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. SECTION 10.03. Security. The Company authorizes the Collateral Agent and each of the other Secured Parties, to (a) take and hold security for the payment of the Guarantied Obligations pursuant to this Article X and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (b) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as they in their sole discretion may determine and (c) release or substitute any one or more endorsees, other guarantors of other obligors. 104 SECTION 10.04. Guarantee of Payment. Company further agrees that its guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any of the security held for payment of the Guarantied Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Subsidiary Borrower or any other person. SECTION 10.05. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. The Guarantied Obligations shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guarantied Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Guarantied Obligations, 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 Guarantied Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantied Obligations hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guarantied Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Company or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Company as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guarantied Obligations). SECTION 10.06. Defenses of Borrower Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Subsidiary Borrower or the unenforceability of the Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Subsidiary Borrower, other than the final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guarantied Obligations. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Guarantied Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Subsidiary Borrower or any other guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Subsidiary Borrower or any other guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Company under this Article X except to the extent the Guarantied Obligations have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash. Pursuant to applicable law, the Company waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Company against the Subsidiary Borrower or any other guarantor, as the case may be, or any security. SECTION 10.07. Agreement to Pay; Subordination. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against the Company under this Article X, upon the failure of the Subsidiary Borrower to pay any Guarantied Obligation 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 forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party 105 as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Guarantied Obligations. Upon payment by the Company of any sums to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party as provided above, all rights of the Company against the Subsidiary Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guarantied Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of the Subsidiary Borrower now or hereafter held by Company is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to the Company on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of the Subsidiary Borrower, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent to be credited against the payment of the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. SECTION 10.08. Information. The Company assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Subsidiary Borrower's financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that the Company assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise the Company of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks. SECTION 10.09. Termination. The guarantees made hereunder (a) shall terminate when all the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and (b) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time, payment, or any part thereof, of any Guarantied Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Collateral Agent, any Secured Party or Company upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Subsidiary Borrower, Company or otherwise. SECTION 10.10. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall be binding upon the Company, the Collateral Agent and their successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns. The Company shall not assign this Guaranty or any of the rights or obligations of the Company hereunder without the prior written consent of all Lenders. Subject to Section 9.04(b), any Secured Party may, without notice of consent, assign its interest in this Article X in whole or in part. The terms and provisions of this Article X shall inure to the benefit of any assignee or transferee of any rights and obligations under this Agreement, and in the event of such transfer or assignment the rights and privileges herein conferred upon Collateral Agent and Secured Parties shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

Conley (972) 443-6557 Media Contact: Sean S. Clancy (972) 443-6546 Flowserve Completes Acquisition of IFC DALLAS - May 2, 2002 - Flowserve Corp. (NYSE: FLS) today announced the completion of its acquisition of Invensys plc's Flow Control Division (IFC). The $535 million acquisition creates the world's second largest valve company serving a wide range of industries, including petroleum, chemical, power, water and general industry. "We couldn't be more enthusiastic about our acquisition of IFC," said C. Scott Greer, Flowserve's chairman, president and chief executive officer. "This is truly a transforming acquisition catapulting Flowserve to a market leader in the global valve industry. This is also a complementary acquisition and significantly broadens Flowserve's product offerings. The addition of IFC enables our combined customer base to take advantage of the benefits of a `one-stop shopping' supplier. "The integration of IFC into Flowserve will begin immediately," Greer said. "We have already identified opportunities for synergies and cost savings that should positively impact the combined businesses and should have increasing benefits in future periods. Moreover, we expect this acquisition to be neutral or mildly accretive to 2002 earnings, excluding one-time charges, even without these synergies." To help finance the acquisition of IFC, Flowserve issued 9.2 million shares of common stock, resulting in net proceeds of about $277 million. The company financed the remainder of the purchase price through its senior credit facilities. "We are pleased by the positive investor response to our common stock offering, which we view as a vote of confidence in Flowserve's business model," Greer said. "Also, we appreciate the support of our lenders, who refinanced a significant portion of our existing debt and lent us additional funds, both at a lower effective rate, to finance this growth. This financing package improves our pro forma net debt-to-capital ratio to 64.4 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2002, compared with 71.3 percent at year end 2001 and 78.1 percent at year end 2000. We are extremely excited about the significant opportunities this acquisition creates for Flowserve, our customers, and our shareholders," Greer said. More information about Flowserve Corp. can be obtained by visiting the company's website at www.flowserve.com.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT: This news release contains various forward-looking statements and includes assumptions about Flowserve's future market conditions, operations and results. These statements are based on current expectations and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. They are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Among the many factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements are: material adverse events in the national financial markets; changes in the already competitive environment for the company's products or competitors' responses to Flowserve's strategies; the company's ability to integrate past and future acquisitions into its management operations; political risks, military actions or trade embargoes affecting important country markets; the health of the company's various customer industries, including the petroleum, chemical, power and water industries; 2 economic turmoil in areas outside the United States; global economic growth; unanticipated difficulties or costs associated with new systems, including software; and the recognition of significant expenses associated with adjustments to realign the company's facilities and other capabilities with its strategies and business conditions, including, without limitation, expenses incurred in restructuring the company's operations and the cost of financing, including increases in interest costs. # # # EX-99.2 5 ex99-2.txt FINANCIAL STATEMENTS EXHIBIT 99.2 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on Flowserve Corporation's (the "Company") consolidated financial statements and the historical combined financial statements of the Flow Control Division of Invensys plc ("IFC"), adjusted to give effect to the acquisition of IFC (the "Acquisition"), the financing for the Acquisition described in the Current Report on Form 8-K to which this Exhibit relates (the "Financing"), the refinancing of the Company's existing tranche B term loan facility described in the Current Report on Form 8-K to which this Exhibit relates (the "Refinancing") and the application of the net proceeds of the Financing and the Refinancing, including the repayment of a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Company's existing senior credit facilities (collectively, with the Acquisition, the Financing and the Refinancing, the "Transactions"). The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 gives effect to the Transactions, as if each had occurred on January 1, 2001. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 gives effect to the Transactions as if each had occurred on December 31, 2001. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect pro forma adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes and are based on available information. In the Company's opinion, all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma information have been made. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not purport to represent what the Company's results of operations or financial position would actually have been if the Transactions had occurred on such dates or to project the Company's results of operations or financial position for any future date or period. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements reflect the Company's preliminary estimates of the allocation of the purchase price for the Acquisition and are subject to change. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not reflect any operating efficiencies and cost savings that the Company may achieve with respect to the combined entities nor any expense associated with achieving these benefits. The historical combined financial statements of IFC in the pro forma consolidated financial information are based on IFC's combined financial statements after conversion to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and U.S. dollars. The Company derived IFC's combined financial statements as of and for the twelve months ended December 29, 2001 based on IFC's unaudited combined financial statements for the nine months ended December 29, 2001 and December 30, 2000, and audited combined financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001. IFC's historical combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 29, 2001 was prepared in pounds sterling, and has been converted into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate for the year ended December 31, 2001 of (pound)1.00 = $1.4438. IFC's historical combined balance sheet as of December 29, 2001 was prepared in pounds sterling, and has been converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at December 31, 2001 of (pound)1.00 = $1.4560.

3 Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements (a) Reflects the change in IFC's depreciation and amortization expense due to (i) depreciation of the step-up in its property, plant and equipment to fair value over estimated average useful lives ranging from 7 to 25 years, (ii) amortization of the identifiable intangible assets with definite lives at estimated fair value over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 15 years and (iii) elimination of its historical goodwill amortization which is included in selling, general and administrative expense (see Note (i)). This adjustment is based on the Company's estimated allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition of IFC. The Company will base the final allocation on appraisals that have not yet been completed. (b) Reflects the following interest on the borrowings necessary to finance a portion of the acquisition of IFC:
in thousands) Interest on the Incremental Tranche A Term Loan ($95,227 at 4.75%).............................................. $ 4,523 Interest on New Tranche C Term Loan ($696,552 at 5.25%).......................................................... 36,569 Elimination of historical interest expense on the Company's existing tranche B term loan facility........................... (32,552) Elimination of historical interest expense for the repaid portion of the Company's revolving credit facility.............. (2,295) Elimination of historical interest expense for the repaid portion of the Company's existing tranche A term loan facility.. (724) ---------- Cash interest expense adjustment................................ 5,521 Amortization of estimated financing and amendment fees totaling $4,953............................................ 708 Elimination of amortization of prepaid financing fees for existing tranche B term loan facility....................... (1,572) ---------- Total adjustment................................................ $ 4,657 ==========
For purposes of determining the adjustment to interest expense in the pro forma statement of operations, the current LIBOR rate was used with a credit spread of 2.75% for loans made under the additional $95.2 million aggregate principal amount of loans made available under the Company's Tranche A term loan facility by the amendment to the Company's bank senior credit facility (the "Incremental Tranche A Term Loan"), which is similar to the credit spread that is applicable to the Company's existing tranche A term loan, and a credit spread of 3.25% for loans made under the the Company's new tranche C term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $696.6 million (the "New Tranche C Term Loan"), which is the credit spread applicable under the terms of the amended senior credit facilities. Each 0.125% change in the interest rates payable on the Incremental Tranche A Term Loan and the New Tranche C Term Loan would change annual interest expense by $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively. (c) Reflects the elimination of interest expense incurred by IFC on long-term debt that will not be assumed by the Company in the acquisition of IFC. (d) Reflects the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments at the combined effective income tax rate for Flowserve and IFC of 40.5%. (e) Reflects the proceeds from the Company's equity sale of 9.2 million of its common shares at $31.50 per share, net of offering costs totaling approximately $14.0 million. (f) Reflects the elimination of assets and liabilities the Company did not acquire under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, including cash balances, non-trade intercompany balances with Invensys and its subsidiaries (excluding IFC), current and deferred income tax balances, long-term debt and certain other balances. 4 (g) Reflects the estimated purchase accounting adjustment for capitalization of estimated manufacturing profit in inventory acquired with IFC. The pro forma statement of operations does not reflect the impact of the one-time adjustment on cost of sales during the period this inventory is sold. (h) Reflects the estimated purchase accounting adjustment to IFC's property, plant and equipment to step-up the basis to estimated fair value net of a reduction for a capital lease not being assumed in the purchase. This adjustment is based on the Company's estimated allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition of IFC. The Company will base the final allocation on appraisals that have not yet been completed. (i) Reflects the estimated net fair value adjustment to IFC's goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of the following estimated purchase price allocation:
(in thousands) Cash paid at closing.......................................... $ 535,000 Cash to be paid for estimated direct acquisition costs, including financial advisory, legal, accounting and other costs 8,000 ---------- Aggregate purchase price...................................... 543,000 Book value of IFC's net assets................................ (474,220) Elimination of net balances not being acquired (see Note (f))................................................... (54,474) Capitalized estimated manufacturing profit in inventory acquired.......................................... (4,713) Step-up in property, plant and equipment to fair value....................................................... (32,555) ---------- Net adjustment to goodwill and other intangible assets...................................................... $ (22,962) ==========
This reflects the Company's estimates of the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of IFC, which may change upon completion of appraisals. Further, the Company may identify other assets and liabilities to which a portion of the purchase price will be allocated. The purchase price allocation also does not include an accrual for the Company's anticipated restructuring activities in connection with the acquisition of IFC. The Company has not yet performed a detailed analysis to identify and measure any adjustments that may be necessary to conform IFC's accounting policies under US GAAP with the Company's accounting policies. 5 The adjusted pro forma balance of IFC's goodwill and other intangible assets is estimated to be comprised of the following:
(in thousands) Goodwill...................................................... $ 156,354 Trademarks and trade names, indefinite lives.................. 30,700 Patents, to be amortized over 8 to 15 years................... 30,000 Unpatented technology, to be amortized over 15 years.................................................... 27,000 Noncompetition agreement, to be amortized over 3 years..................................................... 3,800 ---------- Total pro forma goodwill and other intangible assets for IFC..................................................... $ 247,854 ==========
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for using the purchase method. Additionally, SFAS No. 141 establishes specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 primarily addresses the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition and became effective on January 1, 2002. The most significant changes made by SFAS No. 142 require that goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets no longer be amortized and be tested for impairment at least on an annual basis. This provision of SFAS No. 142 applies to business combinations with acquisition dates after June 30, 2001. Additionally, the amortization period for intangible assets is no longer limited to 40 years. The pro forma income statement does not include amortization for goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives acquired with IFC since the business combination was consummated after June 30, 2001. The Company has not eliminated amortization, totaling approximately $19 million, of the Company's goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives from its historical financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001. The purchase price payable by the Company in the acquisition of IFC is subject to upward or downward adjustment based on the net amount of intercompany payables and receivables owed by or to IFC as of April 30, 2002. In addition, the purchase price is subject to potential downward adjustment after the closing based on the amount by which IFC's EBITDA for the period from April 1, 2001 to March 31, 2002, as calculated in the manner set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, is less than $81.0 million. The purchase price is also subject to downward adjustment after the closing based on the amount, if any, by which the net book value of IFC as of March 31, 2002, as calculated in the manner set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, is less than $262.5 million. Finally, the purchase price is subject to potential upward or downward adjustment after the closing based on the net cash position of IFC as of the date of closing, as calculated in the manner set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement. (j) Reflects financing fees and a portion of the amendment fees and other costs that were incurred to amend the Company's existing senior credit facilities and to enter into the New Tranche C Term Loan. These prepaid financing and amendment fees will be amortized over the term of the amended senior credit facilities of approximately seven years. 6 (k) Reflects the write-off of the unamortized balance of existing tranche B term loan facility prepaid financing fees as a result of refinancing the Company's existing tranche B term loan facility with a portion of the New Tranche C Term Loan (such portion, the "Refinancing Loan"). (l) Reflects the extraordinary loss of $10.4 million arising from the refinancing of the Company's existing tranche B term loan facility with the Refinancing Loan and a portion of the fees to amend the Company's existing senior credit facilities, net of $4.2 million of income taxes. The estimated income tax effects are based on the combined effective income tax rate for Flowserve and IFC of 40.5%. (m) Reflects issuance of the Incremental Tranche A Term Loan and the portion of the New Tranche C Term Loan Facility used to finance the acquisition of IFC, as detailed in Note (b), to finance the acquisition of IFC, net of repayment of a portion of the borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the Company's existing tranche A term loan facility. Transaction costs and expenses not covered by the Company's additional borrowings under the amended senior credit facilities will be paid through additional borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. (n) Reflects the elimination of IFC's historical combined equity. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
