Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, C. 46 as the same may be amended, replaced or re-enacted from time to time) payable under this Agreement in respect of Canadian Loans exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in such

Section 347) under this Agreement in respect of such Loans lawfully permitted under such Section 347 and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement in respect of “interest” (as defined in such Section 347) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of such Section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of the applicable Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Lender and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded to the applicable Canadian Borrower; for purposes of this Agreement, the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term of the applicable credit advanced on the basis of annual compounding of the lawfully permitted rate of interest and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Canadian Lender will be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

5.01 EMU Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each EMU Lender agrees that it will make loans (each an “EMU Loan” and collectively the “EMU Loans”), in the Available Currencies and to the EMU Borrowers agreed to by such EMU Lender pursuant hereto, during the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date in a Dollar Equivalent amount at any time outstanding not to exceed (i) in the case of EMU Borrowers organized under the laws of Germany, the EMU German Sublimit, (ii) in the case of EMU Borrowers organized under the laws of Luxembourg, the EMU Lux Sublimit and (iii) in the case of an EMU Borrower organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than Germany or Luxembourg, its EMU Member State Sublimit; provided that the Total Outstandings shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each EMU Borrower may borrow under this Section 5.01, prepay under Section 5.05 and reborrow under this Section 5.01 from time to time.

(a) Each EMU Loan shall be made upon irrevocable written notice from the applicable EMU Borrower to the applicable EMU Lender and the Administrative Agent, which notice must be received not later than 11:00 A.M. (Frankfurt time) at least four Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date (or such later time as such EMU Lender may approve in its sole discretion). Each such notice shall specify (i) the Available Currency of such Loan, (ii) the amount of such EMU Loan, which shall be the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of US$1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of 500,000 units of the applicable Available Currency; (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day; and (iii) the duration of the initial Interest Period for such Loan.

(b) Unless the applicable EMU Lender has received (i) written notice from the Administrative Agent prior to 9:00 A.M. (Frankfurt time) on the proposed Borrowing Date of any EMU Loan directing such EMU Lender not to make such EMU Loan because such EMU Loan is not permitted under Section 5.01 or (ii) written notice of the type and by the time described in subsection 9.10(b) from any Committed Lender, such EMU Lender may make any requested EMU Loan on the proposed Borrowing Date.

5.03 Continuation Elections for EMU Loans. Any EMU Borrower may elect to continue any of its outstanding EMU Loans for a new Interest Period in the same Applicable Currency by giving irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent and the applicable EMU Lender not later than 11:00 A.M. (Frankfurt time) at least three Business Days prior to the first day of such new Interest Period. Each such notice shall specify the duration of such new Interest Period (or, if such EMU Loan is to be divided into two or more EMU Loans which have different Interest Periods, each such new Interest Period, provided that each such Loan shall be the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of US$1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of 500,000 units of the applicable Available Currency). If upon the expiration of any Interest Period for an EMU Loan, any EMU Borrower has failed to timely select a new Interest Period for such EMU Loan (and has not given a timely notice of prepayment of such EMU Loan), such EMU Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such EMU Loan for a one-month Interest Period. After giving effect to any continuation of an EMU Loan, there may not be more than 10 different Interest Periods for all EMU Loans.

5.04 Interest on EMU Loans. Each EMU Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each EMU Loan made to such EMU Borrower, from the date such EMU Loan is made to the date such EMU Loan is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for each applicable Interest Period plus the applicable Mandatory Cost on the first day of such Interest Period plus the Fronting Margin.

(a) If on any date the aggregate outstanding Dollar Equivalent principal amount of all EMU Loans made to EMU Borrowers organized under the laws of Germany exceeds the EMU German Sublimit, one or more of such EMU Borrowers shall promptly make a prepayment of EMU Loans (in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsection (d) below) in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than such excess.

(b) If on any date the aggregate outstanding Dollar Equivalent principal amount of all EMU Loans made to EMU Borrowers organized under the laws of Luxembourg exceeds the EMU Lux Sublimit, one or more of such EMU Borrowers shall promptly make a prepayment of EMU Loans (in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsection (d) below) in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than such excess.

(c) If on any date the aggregate outstanding Dollar Equivalent principal amount of all EMU Loans made to any EMU Borrowers organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than Germany or Luxembourg exceeds its EMU Member State Sublimit, such EMU Borrower shall promptly make a prepayment of EMU Loans to it (in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsection (d) below) in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than such excess.

(d) Any EMU Borrower may from time to time prepay EMU Loans in whole or in part, in a principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of US$1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of 500,000 units of the applicable Available Currency. Any such EMU

Borrower prepaying EMU Loans will deliver a notice of prepayment to be received by the applicable EMU Lender not later than 11:00 A.M. (Frankfurt time) four Business Days in advance of the prepayment date, specifying the Loans to be prepaid and the date and amount of such prepayment. Any prepayment of an EMU Loan shall include accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid and, unless made on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.04.

(a) Each Committed Lender agrees that it shall at all times have a participation in, and acknowledges that it is irrevocably and unconditionally obligated, upon receipt of notice that the Administrative Agent has received an EMU Participation Funding Notice from an EMU Lender, to fund (or to cause an Affiliate to fund) its participation in each outstanding EMU Loan made by such EMU Lender in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such EMU Loan.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Committed Lender of its receipt of an EMU Participation Funding Notice and the identity of the EMU Lender giving such notice. Promptly (and in any event within four Business Days) upon receipt of such notice, each Committed Lender shall (or shall cause an Affiliate to) make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable EMU Lender an amount in the Applicable Currency and in Same Day Funds equal to its Pro Rata Share of all outstanding EMU Loans made by such EMU Lender (it being understood that no Committed Lender which is an Affiliate of such EMU Lender shall be obligated to make any amount available to such EMU Lender unless otherwise required by such EMU Lender). If any Committed Lender so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such EMU Lender the full amount of such Committed Lender’s participations in all EMU Loans made by such EMU Lender by the date which is four Business Days after its receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent, then interest shall accrue on such Committed Lender’s obligations to fund such participations, from such date to the date such Committed Lender pays such obligations in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Foreign Overnight Rate in effect from time to time during such period.

(c) From and after the date on which any EMU Lender has delivered to the Administrative Agent an EMU Participation Funding Notice, all funds received by such EMU Lender in payment of EMU Loans made by such EMU Lender, interest accrued thereon after the third Business Day following delivery of such notice and other amounts payable in respect thereof shall be delivered by such EMU Lender to the Administrative Agent, in the same funds as those received by such EMU Lender, to be distributed to all Committed Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (i.e., giving effect to the funding of participations pursuant to this Section 5.06), except that the Pro Rata Share of such funds of any Committed Lender that has not funded its participations as provided herein (and of any Committed Lender which is an Affiliate of such EMU Lender) shall be retained by such EMU Lender.

(d) If the Administrative Agent or any EMU Lender is required at any time to return to any EMU Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator or custodian, or any official in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, any portion of any payment made by any EMU Borrower to the Administrative Agent or such EMU Lender in respect of any EMU Loan made by such

EMU Lender or any interest or fee thereon, each Committed Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such EMU Lender the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the amount so returned by the Administrative Agent or such EMU Lender plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amount is returned by such Committed Lender to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Foreign Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

(e) The Required Lenders, any EMU Lender and the Administrative Agent may agree on any other reasonable method (such as making assignments of EMU Loans) for sharing the risks of EMU Loans made by such EMU Lender ratably among all Committed Lenders according to their Pro Rata Shares so long as such method does not materially disadvantage any Committed Lender.

6.01 Swing Line Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make Loans to the Company (each a “Swing Line Loan” and collectively the “Swing Line Loans”) in US Dollars from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed US$50,000,000; provided that the Total Outstandings shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section 6.01, prepay under Section 6.04 and reborrow under this Section 6.01 from time to time.

(a) Each Swing Line Loan shall be made upon irrevocable written notice from the Company to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which notice must be received not later than 12:00 noon (Minneapolis time) on the requested Borrowing Date (or such later time as the Swing Line Lender may approve in its sole discretion). Each such notice shall specify (i) the amount of such Swing Line Loan, which shall be an integral multiple of US$100,000 and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day.

(b) Unless the Swing Line Lender has received (i) written notice from the Administrative Agent prior to 8:00 A.M. (Minneapolis time) on the proposed Borrowing Date of any Swing Line Loan directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan because such Swing Line Loan is not permitted under Section 6.01 or (ii) written notice of the type and by the time described in subsection 9.10(b) from any Committed Lender, the Swing Line Lender may make any requested Swing Line Loan on the proposed Borrowing Date.

6.03 Interest on Swing Line Loans. The Company shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan, from the date such Swing Line Loan is made to the date such Swing Line Loan is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Swing Line Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin; provided that (a) at any time that the Committed Lenders have funded their participations in Swing Line Loans, the interest rate

applicable to Swing Line Loans shall not be less than the US Base Rate; and (b) upon the request of the Swing Line Lender (or, if the Committed Lenders have funded their participations in Swing Line Loans, the Required Lenders) at any time (and for so long as) an Event of Default exists, the interest rate applicable to each Swing Line Loan shall be increased by 2% per annum.

6.04 Prepayments of Swing Line Loans. The Company may from time to time prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part, in a principal amount equal to US$100,000 or a higher integral multiple of US$100,000. The Company will deliver a notice of prepayment to be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than noon (Minneapolis time) on the Business Days of such prepayment, specifying the Swing Line Loans to be prepaid and the date and amount of such prepayment.

6.05 Participations in Swing Line Loans. Each Committed Lender agrees that it shall at all times have a participation in, and acknowledges that it is irrevocably and unconditionally obligated, as more fully set forth in Section 6.07, to fund its participation in, each outstanding Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

6.06 Refunding of Swing Line Loans. The Swing Line Lender may, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf), request each Committed Lender through the Administrative Agent to make a Committed Loan in an amount equal to such Committed Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of all Swing Line Loans outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless any of the events described in subsection 14.01(f) or 14.01(g) shall have occurred and be continuing (in which event the procedures of Section 6.07 shall apply), and regardless of whether the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to the making of a Committed Loan are then satisfied or the aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans is not in the minimum or integral amount otherwise required hereunder, each Committed Lender shall make the proceeds of its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender at its Payment Office, as directed by the Swing Line Lender, prior to noon (Minneapolis time) in Same Day Funds on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given. The proceeds of such Committed Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the outstanding Swing Line Loans. All Committed Loans made pursuant to this Section 6.06 shall be US Base Rate Loans (but, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, may be converted to US Dollar Eurocurrency Loans).

(a) If an event described in subsection 14.01(f) or (g) exists (or for any reason the Committed Lenders may not make Committed Loans pursuant to Article II), each Committed Lender will, upon notice from the Administrative Agent, purchase from the Swing Line Lender (and the Swing Line Lender will sell to each Committed Lender) an undivided participation interest in all outstanding Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loans (and each Committed Lender will immediately transfer to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation).

(b) If the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender is required at any time to return to the Company, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator or custodian, or any official in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, any portion of any payment made by the Company to the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender in respect of any Swing Line Loan or any interest or fee thereon, each Committed Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the amount so returned by the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amount is returned by such Committed Lender to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

(a) On the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) the Issuing Bank agrees, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Company, and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 7.02, and (B) to honor properly drawn drafts under Letters of Credit; and (ii) each Committed Lender severally agrees to participate in Letters of Credit Issued for the account of the Company; provided that the Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to Issue, and no Committed Lender shall be obligated to participate in, any Letter of Credit if as of the date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit (the “Issuance Date”):

Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and, accordingly, the Company may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit which have expired or which have been drawn upon and reimbursed. By their execution of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that on the Closing Date (without any further action by any Person), each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued as a Letter of Credit under this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the issuer and account party thereunder shall be subject to the terms hereof. The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount of the L/C Obligations with respect to any Letter of Credit when issued, when drawn upon and as of the first Business Day of each month.

(b) The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from Issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain

from, the Issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it;

(ii) the Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Committed Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Borrower, on or prior to the Business Day prior to the requested date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit, that one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Article XI is not then satisfied;

(iii) the expiry date of any requested Letter of Credit is (A) more than 366 days after the date of such Issuance, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date in writing, or (B) after the scheduled Termination Date, unless all Committed Lenders have approved such expiry date in writing;

(iv) any requested Letter of Credit does not provide for drafts, or is not otherwise in form and substance acceptable to the Issuing Bank, or the Issuance of a Letter of Credit shall violate any applicable policies of the Issuing Bank; or

(v) such Letter of Credit is denominated in a currency other than US Dollars, an Available Currency or another currency that is freely transferable and approved by the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent.

(a) Each Letter of Credit shall be Issued upon the irrevocable written request of the Company received by the Issuing Bank (with a copy sent by the Company to the Administrative Agent) at least three Business Days (or such shorter time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of Issuance. Each such request for Issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be by facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing, in the form of an L/C Application and shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (i) the proposed date of Issuance of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the face amount of the Letter of Credit; (iii) the expiry date of the Letter of Credit; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (vii) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may require.

(b) At least two Business Days prior to the Issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of the L/C Application or L/C Amendment Application from the Company and, if not, the Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Bank has received, on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the date the Issuing Bank is to issue a requested Letter of Credit, (A) notice from the Administrative Agent directing the Issuing Bank not to issue such Letter of

Credit because such issuance is not then permitted hereunder or (B) a notice described in Section 9.10(b), then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Company in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices.

(c) From time to time while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the Termination Date, the Issuing Bank will, upon the written request of the Company received by the Issuing Bank (with a copy sent by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent) at least three Business Days (or such shorter time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of amendment, amend any Letter of Credit issued by it. Each such request for amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be made by facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing, made in the form of an L/C Amendment Application and shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (iv) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require. The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if: (A) the Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms of this Agreement; or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Committed Lenders of the receipt by it of any L/C Application or L/C Amendment Application.

(d) The Issuing Bank and the Committed Lenders agree that, while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the Termination Date, at the option of the Company and upon the written request of the Company received by the Issuing Bank (with a copy sent by the Company to the Administrative Agent) at least three Business Days (or such shorter time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of notification of renewal, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to authorize the renewal of any Letter of Credit issued by it. Each such request for renewal of a Letter of Credit shall be made by facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing, in the form of an L/C Amendment Application, and shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (i) the Letter of Credit to be renewed; (ii) the proposed date of notification of renewal of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the revised expiry date of the Letter of Credit; and (iv) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require. The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to renew any Letter of Credit if: (A) the Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue or amend such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms of this Agreement; or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed renewal of such Letter of Credit. If any outstanding Letter of Credit shall provide that it shall be automatically renewed unless the beneficiary thereof receives notice from the Issuing Bank that such Letter of Credit shall not be renewed, and if at the time of renewal the Issuing Bank would be entitled to authorize the automatic renewal of such Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 7.02 upon the request of the Company but the Issuing Bank shall not have received any L/C Amendment Application from the Company with respect to such renewal or other written direction by the Company with respect thereto, the Issuing Bank shall nonetheless be permitted to allow such Letter of Credit to renew, and the Company, the Committed Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby authorize such renewal, and, accordingly, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have received an L/C Amendment Application from the Company requesting such renewal.

(e) The Issuing Bank may, at its election (or as required by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders), deliver any notice of termination or other communication to any Letter of Credit beneficiary or transferee, and take any other action as necessary or appropriate, at any time and from time to time, in order to cause the expiry date of such Letter of Credit to be a date not later than the scheduled Termination Date.

(f) This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict with any L/C-Related Document (other than any Letter of Credit).

(g) The Issuing Bank will deliver to the Administrative Agent, concurrently or promptly following its delivery of a Letter of Credit, or an amendment to or renewal of a Letter of Credit, to an advising bank or a beneficiary, a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or such amendment or renewal.

(a) Immediately upon the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Committed Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Committed Lender’s Pro Rata Share times (ii) the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

(b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or a transferee thereof, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Issuing Bank prior to 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time), on each date that any amount is paid by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Issuing Bank. If the Company fails to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on the Honor Date, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Committed Lender thereof, and the Company shall be deemed to have requested that US Base Rate Loans be made by the Committed Lenders to be disbursed on the Honor Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Commitments and subject to the conditions set forth in subsections 11.02(b) and (c). Any notice given by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection 7.03(b) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing (including by facsimile); provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(c) Each Committed Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to subsection 7.03(b) make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank an amount in US Dollars and in Same Day Funds equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the applicable drawing (as determined by the Administrative Agent), whereupon such Committed Lender shall be deemed to have made a US Base Rate Loan to the Company in such

amount. If any Committed Lender so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Committed Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of the drawing by no later than noon (Chicago Time) on the Honor Date, then interest shall accrue on such Committed Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Honor Date to the date such Committed Lender makes such payment, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time during such period. The Administrative Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Honor Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent to give any such notice on the Honor Date or in sufficient time to enable any Committed Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Committed Lender of its obligations under this subsection 7.03(c).

(d) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Committed Loans in whole or in part, because of the Company’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in subsections 11.02(b) and (c) or for any other reason, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Bank an L/C Borrowing in the amount of such drawing, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the US Base Rate plus 2% per annum, and each Committed Lender’s payment to the Issuing Bank pursuant to subsection 7.03(c) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Committed Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation in respect of the applicable Letter of Credit.

(e) Each Committed Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make US Base Rate Loans or L/C Advances, as contemplated by this Section 7.03, as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute and unconditional and without recourse to the Issuing Bank and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Committed Lender may have against the Issuing Bank, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, an Unmatured Event of Default or a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Committed Lender’s obligation to make US Base Rate Loans under this Section 7.03 is subject to the conditions set forth in subsections 11.02(b) and (c).

(a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank of Same Day Funds from the Company (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit with respect to which any Committed Lender has paid the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank for such Committed Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 7.03 or (ii) in payment of interest thereon, the Administrative Agent will pay to each Committed Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, the amount of such Committed Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such funds, and the Issuing Bank shall receive the amount of the pro rata share of such funds of any Committed Lender that did not so pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank.

(b) If the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank is required at any time to return to the Company, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator or custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of any payment made by the Company to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank pursuant to subsection (a) above in reimbursement of a payment made under any Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Committed Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank the amount of its pro rata share of any amount so returned by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amount is returned by such Committed Lender to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate (in the case of amounts in US Dollars) or the Foreign Overnight Rate (in the case of other amounts), in each case as in effect from time to time.

(a) The Lenders and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft and certificates or other documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.

(b) Neither the Issuing Bank nor any of its correspondents, participants or assignees shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Committed Lenders (including the Required Lenders), as applicable); (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any L/C-Related Document.

(c) The Company hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Company’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit at law or under any other agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; and (ii) the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

7.06 Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement and any L/C-Related Document to reimburse the Issuing Bank for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and to repay any L/C Borrowing of such Borrower and any drawing under a Letter of Credit converted into US Base Rate Loans, shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each such L/C-Related Document under all circumstances, including any of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any L/C-Related Document;

(c) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any 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; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit;

(d) any payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of any Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit;

(f) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a guarantor; provided that after paying in full its reimbursement obligation hereunder, nothing herein shall adversely affect the right of the Company to commence any proceeding against the Issuing Bank for any wrongful disbursement made by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank.

(a) The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Committed Lenders a letter of credit fee with respect to the Letters of Credit at a rate per annum equal to the L/C Fee Rate (as in effect from time to time) on the daily maximum Dollar Equivalent amount available to be drawn under the outstanding Letters of Credit, computed on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date (or such later date on which all Letters of Credit have been terminated) based upon Letters of Credit outstanding for the applicable period as calculated by the Administrative Agent; provided that, upon the request of the Required Lenders at any time (and for so long as) an Event of Default exists, the L/C Fee Rate shall be increased by 2% per annum.

(b) The Company shall pay to the Issuing Bank a letter of credit fronting fee for each Letter of Credit Issued by the Issuing Bank at the rate per annum separately agreed to by the Company and the Issuing Bank on the daily maximum Dollar Equivalent amount available to be drawn under the outstanding Letters of Credit, computed on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date (or such later date on which all Letters of Credit have been terminated) based upon the Letters of Credit outstanding for the applicable period as calculated by the Issuing Bank.

(c) The letter of credit fees payable under subsection (a) and the fronting fees payable under subsection (b) shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter during which Letters of Credit are outstanding and on the Termination Date (or such later date upon which all outstanding Letters of Credit shall have been terminated).

8.01 Competitive Bid Loans. Each Lender agrees that the Company may from time to time prior to the Termination Date request the Committed Lenders to submit offers to make Bid Loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed US$250,000,000. Each Committed Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, submit such offers and the Company may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers; provided that at no time shall the Total Outstandings exceed the Total Commitments.

(a) The Company may request the Committed Lenders to submit offers to make Bid Loans by sending the Administrative Agent by facsimile a written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit D (a “Competitive Bid Request”) so as to be received no later than 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) one Business Day prior to the date of a proposed Bid Borrowing, specifying:

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Bid Borrowing, which shall be a minimum amount of US$5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of US$1,000,000; and

The Company may not request the Administrative Agent to solicit offers for Competitive Bids for more than three Interest Periods in a single Competitive Bid Request and may not request Competitive Bids more than once in any period of five Business Days.

(b) Upon receipt of a Competitive Bid Request, the Administrative Agent will promptly send to the Committed Lenders by facsimile transmission an Invitation for Competitive Bids, which shall constitute an invitation by the Company to each Committed Lender to submit Competitive Bids offering to make the Bid Loans to which such Competitive Bid Request relates in accordance with this Section 8.02.

(c) (i) Each Committed Lender may in its discretion submit a Competitive Bid containing an offer or offers to make Bid Loans in response to any Invitation for Competitive Bids. Each Competitive Bid must comply with the requirements of this subsection 8.02(c) and must be submitted to the Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission at its office specified pursuant to Section 16.01 not later than 8:45 A.M. (Chicago time) on the proposed Borrowing Date; provided that Competitive Bids submitted by the Administrative Agent (in its individual capacity) or any Affiliate thereof may only be submitted if such entity notifies the Company of the terms of the offer or offers contained therein not later than 8:30 A.M. (Chicago time) on the proposed Borrowing Date.

(ii) Each Competitive Bid shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F, specifying therein:

(B) the principal amount of each Bid Loan for which such Competitive Bid is being made, which principal amount (x) may be equal to, greater than or less than the Commitment of the quoting Committed Lender, (y) must be $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000 and (z) may not exceed the principal amount of Bid Loans for which Competitive Bids were requested;

(C) the rate of interest per annum expressed in multiples of 1/100th of one basis point (the “Absolute Rate”) offered for each such Bid Loan and the Interest Period applicable thereto; and

A Competitive Bid may contain up to three separate offers by the quoting Committed Lender with respect to each Interest Period specified in the related Invitation for Competitive Bids.

(A) is not substantially in conformity with Exhibit F or does not specify all of the information required by subsection 8.02(c)(ii);

(d) Promptly on receipt and not later than 9:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on the proposed Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent will notify the Company of the terms (i) of any Competitive Bid submitted by a Committed Lender that is in accordance with subsection 8.02(c) and (ii) of any Competitive Bid that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Competitive Bid submitted by such Committed Lender with respect to the same Competitive Bid Request. Any such subsequent Competitive Bid shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Competitive Bid is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Competitive Bid and only if received within the times set forth in subsection 8.02(c). The Administrative Agent’s notice to the Company shall specify (1) the aggregate principal amount of Bid Loans for which offers have been received for each Interest Period specified in the related Competitive Bid Request; (2) the respective principal amounts and Absolute Rates offered for each Interest Period and (3) any other information regarding such Competitive Bid reasonably requested by the Company. Subject only to the provisions of Article XI and the provisions of this subsection (d), any Competitive Bid shall be irrevocable except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent given on the written instructions of the Company.

(e) Not later than 9:15 A.M. on the proposed Borrowing Date, the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent, in writing and in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, of its acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers notified to it pursuant to subsection 8.02(d). The Company shall be under no obligation to accept any offer and may choose to accept or reject some or all of such offers. In the case of acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that is accepted. The Company may accept any Competitive Bid in whole or in part; provided that:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Competitive Bid Request;

(ii) the principal amount of each Bid Borrowing must be US$5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of US$1,000,000;

(iii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending Absolute Rates within each Interest Period; and

(iv) the Company may not accept any offer that is described in subsection 8.02(c)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement.

(f) If offers are made by two or more Committed Lenders with the same Absolute Rates for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Bid Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such

Committed Lenders (in such multiples, not less than US$1,000,000, as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate) as nearly as practicable in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers. Determination by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Bid Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

(g) (i) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Committed Lender having submitted a Competitive Bid if its offer has been accepted and, if its offer has been accepted, of the amount of the Bid Loan or Bid Loans to be made by it on the date of the Bid Borrowing.

(ii) Each Committed Lender which has received notice pursuant to subsection 8.02(g)(i) that its Competitive Bid has been accepted with respect to any Bid Loan shall make the amount of such Bid Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the Company at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office, by noon (Chicago time) on the applicable Borrowing Date.

(iii) Promptly following each Bid Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Committed Lender of the range of bids submitted and the highest and lowest bids accepted for each Interest Period requested by the Company and the aggregate amount borrowed pursuant to such Bid Borrowing.

9.01 Repayment. All Loans and all other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall be due and payable in full on March 4, 2010 (or such earlier date as shall be required pursuant hereto).

9.02 Payment of Interest. Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date; provided that any interest on UK Loans which, absent this proviso, would be payable prior to the UK Deferral Date shall be payable on the UK Deferral Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of Loans (other than US Base Rate Loans and Prime Rate Loans) for the portion of the Loans so prepaid. In addition, during the existence of any Event of Default, interest on all Loans shall be paid on demand of the Administrative Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders.

9.03 Payments. (a) All payments by the Borrowers hereunder in respect of UK Loans, Canadian Loans, EMU Loans and Swing Line Loans shall be made to the UK Lender, the Canadian Lender, the applicable EMU Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, at its Payment Office. All payments by the Borrowers hereunder in respect of any amount payable under Article X shall be made directly to the Lender entitled to receive such payment. All other payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its Payment Office. All such payments shall be made prior to noon (local time at the place of payment) on the date due, and funds received after that time shall be deemed received on the following Business Day. All such payments shall be made in the currency required herein and without setoff or counterclaim.

(b) If any payment hereunder falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day (unless, in the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such immediately following Business Day is the first Business Day of a calendar month, in which case such due date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day).

9.04 Adjustment of Sublimits. So long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists, the Company may from time to time change the amount of each of the UK Sublimit, the Canadian Sublimit, the EMU German Sublimit, the EMU Lux Sublimit and any EMU Member State Sublimit by giving notice of such change to the Administrative Agent and the UK Lender, the Canadian Lender or the applicable EMU Lender, as applicable (which notice shall specify the effective date of such change, which shall not be less than three Business Days after such notice is received); provided that (a) the aggregate amount available under all such Sublimits shall not exceed the lesser of US$450,000,000 or the Total Commitment; (b) the Canadian Sublimit shall not exceed the lesser of US$75,000,000 or the Total Commitment; and (c) the UK Lender, the Canadian Lender or the applicable EMU Lender, respectively, must consent to any increase in the UK Sublimit, the Canadian Sublimit, the EMU German Sublimit, the EMU Lux Sublimit or any EMU Member State Sublimit, as the case may be.

9.05 Loan Accounts. The Loans and the L/C Obligations shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent, each Committed Lender, the UK Lender, the Canadian Lender, the applicable EMU Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records so maintained shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the amount of the Loans and the L/C Obligations outstanding by each applicable Lender to each applicable Borrower. Any failure to record or any error in recording any such amount shall, not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to any Loan or any other obligation hereunder, including the L/C Obligations.

9.06 Notes. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Loans made by such Lender to any Borrower may be evidenced by one or more Notes issued by such Borrower, instead of loan accounts. Each such Lender may endorse on the schedule annexed to the applicable Note the date, amount and maturity of each applicable Loan made by it and the amount of each payment of principal made by the applicable Borrower with respect thereto. Each such Lender is irrevocably authorized by each Borrower to endorse the applicable Note and each such Lender’s record shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the amount of the Loans made by such Lender to such Borrower; provided that the failure of a Lender to make, or an error in making, a notation on any Note with respect to any Loan shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the applicable Borrower hereunder or under such Note.

(a) Arrangement, Agency Fees. The Company shall pay arrangement fees to the Lead Arranger for the Lead Arranger’s own account, and shall pay agency and other fees to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s own account, as mutually agreed to in writing from time to time by the Company, the Lead Arranger and the Administrative Agent.

(b) Facility Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Committed Lender a facility fee computed at a rate per annum equal to the Facility Fee Rate on the amount of such Lender’s Commitment, regardless of usage. Such facility fee shall accrue from the date of this Agreement to the Termination Date, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date.

(c) Usage Fee. Each UK Borrower and EMU Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Committed Lender a usage fee computed at a rate per annum equal to the Usage Fee Rate (plus, upon request of the Required Lenders at any time (and for so long as) an Event of Default exists, 2% per annum) on the principal amount of each UK Loan or EMU Loan, as the case may be, outstanding from time to time. Such usage fee shall be payable with respect to each UK Loan and EMU Loan on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan.

9.08 Computation of Fees and Interest. (a) All computations of interest for US Base Rate Loans when the interest rate is determined by the “reference rate” of Bank of America and for Prime Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All computations of interest on UK Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days and actual days elapsed. All other computations of interest and fees shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest and fees being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate or a Dollar Equivalent amount by the Administrative Agent, the UK Lender, the Canadian Lender, any EMU Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent (or, if applicable, the UK Lender, the Canadian Lender, any EMU Lender or the Swing Line Lender) will, at the request of the applicable Borrower or any Committed Lender, deliver to such Borrower or such Committed Lender, as the case may be, a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent (or such Lender) in determining any interest rate or Dollar Equivalent amount.

9.09 Currency Exchange Fluctuations. If on any Computation Date the Administrative Agent shall have determined that the then outstanding Dollar Equivalent principal amount of the Total Outstanding exceeds the Total Commitment due to a change in applicable rates of exchange between US Dollars, on the one hand, and any Applicable Currency, on the other hand, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Company that a prepayment is required under this Section, and the Borrowers agree thereupon to make prepayments of Loans such that, after giving effect to such prepayment, the Total Outstandings will not exceed the Total Commitment.

(a) Each Committed Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to Section 6.06 to refund Swing Line Loans and/or to purchase participation interests in UK Loans, Canadian

Loans, EMU Loans and/or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 3.06, 4.06, 5.06 and/or 6.07, as applicable, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Committed Lender may have against any other Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, an Unmatured Event of Default or a Material Adverse Effect; (c) any breach of this Agreement by any Borrower or any other Lender; (d) any inability of any Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement on the date upon which any Swing Line Loan is to be refunded or any participation interest in any Loan is to be purchased; or (e) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, no Committed Lender shall be required to make any Loan to a Borrower to refund a Swing Line Loan pursuant to Section 6.06 or to purchase a participation interest in a UK Loan, Canadian Loan, EMU Loan and/or Swing Line Loan pursuant to Section 3.06, 4.06, 5.06 or 6.07, as applicable, if, at least two Business Days prior to the making of such UK Loan, Canadian Loan, EMU Loan and/or Swing Line Loan, the Administrative Agent and the UK Lender, the Canadian Lender, the applicable EMU Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, received written notice from such Committed Lender specifying that such Committed Lender believed in good faith that one or more of the conditions precedent to the making of such Loan were not satisfied (and detailing its basis for such good faith belief) and, in fact, such conditions precedent to the making of such Loan were not satisfied at the time of the making of such Loan; provided that the obligation of such Committed Lender to make such Loan and/or to purchase such participation interest shall be reinstated upon the earlier of (i) the date on which such Committed Lender notifies the Swing Line Lender that its prior notice has been withdrawn or (ii) the date on which all conditions precedent to the making of such UK Loan, Canadian Loan, EMU Loan and/or Swing Line Loan have been satisfied (or waived by the Required Lenders or all Committed Lenders, as applicable).

(a) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the Company hereunder is insufficient to pay in full the amounts then due and payable by the Company hereunder and the Administrative Agent has not received a Payment Sharing Notice, such payment shall be distributed to the Lenders (and for purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been applied by the Lenders, notwithstanding the fact that any Lender may have made a different application in its books and records) in the following order: first, to the payment of the principal amount of the Committed Loans, Bid Loans and Swing Line Loans which are then due and payable and to the reimbursement obligations of the Company then due in respect of any Letter of Credit, ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of such Loans and reimbursement obligations owed to each Lender; second, to the payment of interest then due and payable on the Committed Loans, Bid Loans and Swing Line Loans and on the reimbursement obligations of the Company in respect of Letters of Credit, ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate amount of interest owed to each Lender; third, to the payment of the fees then due and payable by the Company hereunder, ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate amount of such fees owed to each Lender; and fourth, to the payment of any other amounts payable by the Company under this Agreement, ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate amount of such payments owed to each Lender.

(b) After the Administrative Agent has received a Payment Sharing Notice, all payments received by the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the Company to be distributed to Lenders shall be distributed to the Lenders (and for purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been applied by the Lenders, notwithstanding the fact that any Lender may have made a different application in its books and records) in the following order: first, to the payment of amounts payable by the Company under Section 16.03, ratably among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate amount of such payments owed to the Administrative Agent and each Lender; second, to the payment of fees payable by the Company under Sections 7.07 and 9.07, ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate amount of such fees owed to each Lender; third, to the payment of the principal amount of and interest accrued on the Loans to the Company, the reimbursement obligations of the Company in respect of Letters of Credit (including contingent obligations in respect of undrawn Letters of Credit) and the obligations of the Company under Article XVII, regardless of whether any such amount is then due and payable, ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate amount of such Loans and other obligations owed to such Lenders; and fourth, to the payment of any other amount payable by the Company under this Agreement, ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the amount owed to each Lender. Any amount to be distributed pursuant to clause third of the first sentence of this subsection (b) for application to contingent obligations in respect of undrawn Letters of Credit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as cash collateral hereunder. If any Letter of Credit is thereafter drawn upon, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to the Issuing Bank an amount equal to the lesser of the Dollar Equivalent amount of such draw and the amount of the cash collateral held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence. If any Letter of Credit expires or terminates or the amount available for drawing thereunder is reduced and, after giving effect to such expiration, termination or reduction, the amount of cash collateral held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the second preceding sentence exceeds the aggregate undrawn Dollar Equivalent amount of all then-outstanding Letters of Credit, such excess shall promptly be applied by the Administrative Agent in the manner and priority set forth in clauses first, second, third and fourth of the first sentence of this subsection (b).

(c) If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Committed Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset, enforcement of security or otherwise) on account of principal of or interest on any Loan (including any Bid Loan) or any participation therein, any participation in any Letter of Credit or any fees in excess of the share of payments and other recoveries (exclusive of payments or recoveries under Article X) such Committed Lender would have received if such payment or recovery had been distributed pursuant to the provisions of subsection 9.11(a) or (b) (whichever is applicable at the time of such payment or other recovery), such Committed Lender shall purchase from the other Committed Lenders, in a manner to be reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent, such participations in the Loans held by them (and, if applicable, such sub-participations in the participations in Loans and L/C Obligations held by them) as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Committed Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them in accordance with the order of payments set forth in subsection 9.11(a) or (b), as applicable; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment

or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Committed Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(d) The Dollar Equivalent amount of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on each obligation of the Company denominated in a currency other than US Dollars shall be determined by the Administrative Agent as of (i) in the case of any distribution pursuant to subsection 9.11(a) or (b), the date of such distribution, and (ii) in the case of receipt by any Committed Lender of any payment or other recovery which may be subject to subsection 9.11(c) (or any disgorgement by any Committed Lender pursuant to the proviso to such subsection), as of the date of such receipt (or such disgorgement).

9.12 Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from a Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of any amount relating to a UK Loan, a Canadian Loan or an EMU Loan, the UK Lender, the Canadian Lender or the applicable EMU Lender, respectively) could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s (or such Lender’s) Payment Office on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of any Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the applicable Borrower shall, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds the total of (a) the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amount shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under subsection 9.11(c), such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the applicable Borrower.

9.13 Designation of Lenders as the Canadian Lender, the UK Lender or an EMU Lender; Designation of Additional EMU Lenders.

(a) The Company may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1, designate any Lender as the Canadian Lender or the UK Lender. Any such designation shall be permitted only if such designation is consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Lender being designated as the new Canadian Lender or UK Lender, as applicable. Upon the effectiveness of any such designation, the applicable Borrower shall repay all Canadian Loans or UK Loans and all interest thereon and all other amounts

payable hereunder in respect thereof to the Lender that previously was designated as the Canadian Lender or the UK Lender, as applicable, such prior Canadian Lender or UK Lender, as applicable, shall cease to have such designation hereunder and all references herein to the Canadian Lender or the UK Lender, as applicable, shall be deemed to be references to the newly designated Canadian Lender or UK Lender, respectively.

(b) The Company may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1, remove the designation of any Lender as an EMU Lender with respect to any particular jurisdiction. Any such removal shall become effective on the later of (i) the date of such notice and (ii) the date on which such Lender has received payment in full of all applicable EMU Loans made by such Lender, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable to such Lender in its capacity as EMU Lender in the applicable jurisdiction.

(c) The Company may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2, designate any Lender as an additional EMU Lender hereunder with respect to any permitted jurisdiction. Any such notice shall identify the EMU Borrowers with respect to which such Lender is to be the applicable EMU Lender. Any such designation shall be permitted only if (i) after giving effect to such designation, there will not be more than two EMU Lenders and (ii) such designation is consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Lender being designated as an additional EMU Lender.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.13 to the contrary, in no event shall any designation made (or any notice given) pursuant to this Section 9.13 affect the rights or obligations of any Lender as a Committed Lender, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder.

(a) If, after the date hereof, any change in, the adoption of any new applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i) shall subject such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Loans, any Note or its obligation to make or to participate in Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of any amount payable to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or any Note in respect of any Loans (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Applicable Lending Office);

(ii) shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, compulsory advance, or similar requirement (other than the Reserve Requirement utilized in the determination of the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or the Mandatory Cost) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or the applicable offshore interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any Loan;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining or participating in any Loan or to reduce any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or any Note with respect to any Loan, then the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender on demand such amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If, after the date hereof, any Lender shall have determined that any change in, the adoption of any new, applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request, or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(c) Any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 10.01 shall furnish to the Company and the Administrative Agent a statement setting forth the basis for, and a calculation in reasonable detail of, the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, any Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

10.02 Limitation on Types of Loan. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Loan:

(a) the Administrative Agent (in the case of a Committed Loan) or the applicable Lender (in the case of any other Eurocurrency Loan) determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate in the Applicable Currency, or

(b) the Required Lenders (in the case of Committed Loans) notify the Administrative Agent that they have determined, or the applicable Lender (in the case of any other Eurocurrency Loan) determines (which determination shall, in each case, be conclusive), that the applicable Eurocurrency Rate (or, in the case of Committed Loans, the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate) will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders or Lender of funding such Loans or Loan in the applicable currency for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, shall give the applicable Borrower (and, if such notice is given by a Lender, the Administrative Agent) prompt notice thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, (i) the Committed Lenders or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, shall be under no obligation to make Eurocurrency Loans in the Applicable Currency and (ii) on the last day of the then current Interest Period for each outstanding Eurocurrency Loan in the Applicable Currency to such Borrower, such Borrower shall repay such Loans or, in the case of the Company or a Canadian Borrower, convert such Loans into the other Type of Loan available to such Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

10.03 Changes in Law Rendering Eurocurrency Loans Unlawful. If any change in any, or the adoption of any new, applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency or other regulatory body charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, should make it (or in the good faith judgment of any Lender cause a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurocurrency Loan in any Applicable Currency, then such Lender shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (a) such Lender shall have no obligation to make or convert into any Eurocurrency Loan in the Applicable Currency (but, in the case of a Committed Lender, shall make a US Base Rate Loan concurrently with the making of or conversion into Eurocurrency Loans in the Applicable Currency by the Lenders which are not so affected, in each case in a Dollar Equivalent amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Committed Borrowing) and (b) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each Eurocurrency Loan of such Lender in the Applicable Currency (or, in any event, on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation), such Eurocurrency Loan shall be paid in full (or, in the case of a Committed Loan (unless the Committed Borrowing of which such Committed Loan is a part is paid in full), shall automatically convert to a US Base Rate Loan in US Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Eurocurrency Loan). Each US Base Rate Loan made by a Committed Lender which, but for the circumstances described in the foregoing sentence, would be a Eurocurrency Loan (an “Affected Loan”) shall remain outstanding for the same period as the Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans of which such Affected Loan would be a part absent such circumstances.

10.04 Funding Losses. The applicable Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

(a) the failure of such Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Loan into a Eurocurrency Loan after such Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a notice of such borrowing, continuation or conversions;

(b) the failure of such Borrower to make any prepayment of any Loan in accordance with any notice delivered pursuant hereto;

(c) the prepayment (including pursuant to Section 10.03) or other payment (including after acceleration thereof) of the principal of any Loan by such Borrower on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period; or

(d) the automatic conversion under subsection 2.03(a) or 4.03(a) of any Eurocurrency Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period;

including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by such Lender to maintain the applicable Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by a Borrower to any Lender under this Section, (i) each Eurocurrency Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the Eurocurrency Rate used in determining the interest rate for the applicable (including any proposed) Interest Period by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank eurocurrency market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period and in the same Applicable Currency, whether or not such Eurocurrency Loan is in fact so funded.

(a) Any and all payments by any Borrower to any Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes. In addition, each Borrower shall pay all Other Taxes.

(b) If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, then:

(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 10.05), such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives and retains an amount equal to the sum it would have received and retained had no such deductions or withholdings been made;

(iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes in the amount that such Lender or the Administrative Agent specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such

Lender or the Administrative Agent would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed, and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the applicable Borrower of Taxes or Other Taxes, such Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Lender and the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to such Lender or Administrative Agent.

(e) Each Committed Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Committed Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Committed Lender in the case of any other such Committed Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Company (but only so long as such Committed Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Company and the Administrative Agent with (i) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Committed Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, (ii) IRS Form W-8 or W-9, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, and (iii) any other form or certificate required by any taxing authority (including any certificate required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code), certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from or a reduced rate of tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) Each Committed Lender that will not be funding its participation in UK Loans out of, or will not be booking its portion of usage fees payable by UK Borrowers in, an office in the United Kingdom (or another jurisdiction having an exemption from United Kingdom income tax by treaty) shall submit a duly completed Form FD13 double tax treaty form to the IRS (or the comparable form for its jurisdiction to its jurisdiction’s tax authorities) no later than March 18, 2005, seeking exemption from United Kingdom income tax on interest and fees payable under this Agreement by UK Borrowers.

(g) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable discretion that it has received a refund or credit of Taxes or Other Taxes (or of any liability, including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses, arising therefrom or with respect thereto) paid by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has made any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 10.05, or any other tax benefit as a result of any payment by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.05, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall promptly repay the applicable Borrower to the extent of such refund, credit or benefit; provided that if, due to any adjustment of such Taxes or Other Taxes (or of any liability, including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses, arising therefrom or with respect thereto), or of such other tax benefit, such Lender or the Administrative Agent loses the benefit of all or any portion of such refund, credit or benefit, the applicable Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless such Lender or the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 10.05.

Nothing in this subsection (g) shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to utilize any such credits ahead of other credits that may be available to the Administrative Agent or such Lender from other sources. Moreover, nothing shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make its books and records available for inspection by any Borrower.

(h) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of each Borrower contained in this Section 10.05 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers hereunder.

10.06 Right of Lenders to Fund through Other Offices. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any Eurocurrency Loan by causing a foreign branch or affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan, provided that in such event for the purposes of this Agreement such Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender and the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender and shall be deemed held by it, to the extent of such Loan, for the account of such branch or affiliate.

10.07 Discretion of Lenders as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained each Eurocurrency Loan during each Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period.

(a) Each Lender shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Lender’s good faith judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation of a Borrower to pay any amount pursuant to Section 10.01 or 10.05 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstances of the nature described in Section 10.02 or 10.03, and, if any Lender has given notice of any such event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Lender shall promptly so notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to the applicable Borrower of) any event described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence and such designation will not, in such Lender’s sole judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b) At any time any Committed Lender is an Affected Lender, the Company may replace such Affected Lender as a party to this Agreement with one or more other bank(s) or financial institution(s) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the UK Lender, the Canadian Lender, each EMU Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Bank (and upon notice from the Company such Affected Lender shall assign pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, and without recourse or warranty, its Commitment, its Loans and all of its other rights and obligations hereunder to such replacement bank(s) or other financial institution(s) for

a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the Loans so assigned, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, its ratable share of all accrued and unpaid facility fees, usage fees and Letter of Credit fees, any amounts payable under Section 10.04 as a result of such Lender receiving payment of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of an Interest Period therefor and all other obligations owed to such Affected Lender hereunder).

(a) Without prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by the EMU Legislation and without prejudice to the liabilities for indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Lenders under or pursuant to this Agreement, each reference in this Agreement to a fixed amount or fixed amounts (or an integral multiple thereof) in a national currency of a Subsequent Participant to be paid to or by the Administrative Agent shall be replaced by a reference to such reasonably comparable and convenient fixed amount or fixed amounts (or an integral multiple thereof) in Euro as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify.

(b) Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of the Borrowers to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrowers under or pursuant to this Agreement each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Company may from time to time specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to the Euro in Participating Member States.

10.10 Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions. Determinations and statements of any Lender pursuant to Section 10.01, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04 or 10.05 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Lenders may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 10.01, 10.04 and 10.05, and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Loans and any termination of this Agreement.

(1) in the case of any Event of Default specified in subsection (f) or (g) above, without any notice to the Borrowers or any other act by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans and all other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers; and

Such payment shall be in Same Day Funds which shall be held by such Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account until all outstanding Letters of Credit are terminated without payment or are paid. In the event the Company defaults in the payment of any L/C Obligations, the proceeds of the cash collateral account shall be applied to the payment thereof.

15.01 Appointment and Authorization. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 15.09) appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative 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 Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit Issued by it 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 the Issuing Bank with respect thereto; provided that the Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article XV with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit Issued by it or proposed to be Issued by it and the L/C Related Documents as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent,” as used in this Article XV, included the Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to the Issuing Bank.

(c) Each of the UK Lender, the Canadian Lender, the EMU Lenders and the Swing Line Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article XV with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Person in connection with UK Loans, Canadian Loans, EMU Loans and Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, made or proposed to be made by it as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent,” as used in this Article XV, included the UK Lender, the Canadian Lender, the applicable EMU Lender and the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to the UK Lender, the Canadian Lender, the EMU Lenders and the Swing Line Lender.

15.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

15.03 Liability of Administrative Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Note, or for any failure of the Company, any other Borrower or any other Person to perform its obligations hereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

(i) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

(ii) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article XI, each Lender that has executed this Agreement and funded its initial Loans on the Closing Date shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by the Administrative Agent to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required hereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender.

15.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, except 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 the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of its receipt thereof. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article XIV; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such request, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

15.06 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Company and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Company and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrowers which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

15.07 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Committed Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrowers and

without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided that no Committed Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of the Indemnified Liabilities to the extent resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Committed Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and changes of counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers. The undertakings in this Section shall survive the termination hereof and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

15.08 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, in each case without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Company or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company or an Affiliate) and acknowledge that Bank of America and its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America (and any of its Affiliates which is or may become a Lender) shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, an EMU Lender or the Issuing Bank.

15.09 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, resign as the Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders; provided that any such resignation by Bank of America shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Committed Lenders a successor Administrative Agent, which successor agent shall, so long as no Event of Default exists, be subject to the approval of the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Company, a successor Administrative Agent from among the Committed Lenders and the Company. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the applicable retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XV and Section 16.03 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a

retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, such retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Bank of America may not be removed as the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders unless Bank of America or any Affiliate of Bank of America shall also simultaneously be replaced as an EMU Lender and as Issuing Bank pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank of America and, if applicable, such Affiliate.

(a) If any Committed Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W-8BEN (or any applicable successor form) to the Administrative Agent and such Committed Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in or otherwise transfers all or part of the obligations of the Company to such Committed Lender, such Committed Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of the obligations of the Company to such Committed Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, the Administrative Agent will treat such Committed Lender’s IRS Form W-8BEN (or such successor form) as no longer valid, and such Committed Lender agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

(b) If any Committed Lender claiming exemption from United States withholding tax by filing IRS Form W-8ECI (or any applicable successor form) with the Administrative Agent sells, assigns, grants a participation in or otherwise transfers all or part of the obligations of the Company to such Committed Lender, such Committed Lender agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

(c) If any Committed Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Committed Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If any forms or other documentation required by subsection 10.05(e) are not delivered to the Administrative Agent by any Committed Lender, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Committed Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

15.11 Funding Reliance. (a) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from a Committed Lender by noon, Chicago time, on the day of a proposed Committed Borrowing that such Committed Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Committed Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Committed Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make a corresponding amount available to the Company. If and to the extent such Committed Lender has not made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Committed Lender and the Company jointly and severally agree to repay such amount to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon at the

interest rate applicable to Loans included in such Committed Borrowing or, in the case of any Committed Lender which repays such amount within three Business Days, (i) in the case of a Loan in US Dollars, the Federal Funds Rate, or (ii) in the case of a Loan in any Available Currency, the Foreign Overnight Rate (together with, in each case, such other compensatory amounts as may be required to be paid by such Committed Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Rules for Interbank Compensation of the Council on International Banking or the Clearinghouse Compensation Committee, as applicable, as in effect from time to time). Nothing set forth in this clause (a) shall relieve any Committed Lender of any obligation it may have to make any Loan hereunder.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from any Borrower prior to the due date for any payment hereunder payable by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Committed Lenders that such Borrower does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Committed Lender its share of such payment. If and to the extent that such Borrower has not made any such payment to the Administrative Agent, each Committed Lender which received a share of such payment shall repay such share (or the relevant portion thereof) to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon at (i) in the case of any amount denominated in US Dollars, the Federal Funds Rate, or (ii) in the case of any amount denominated in any Available Currency, the Foreign Overnight Rate. Nothing set forth in this clause (b) shall relieve any Borrower of any obligation it may have to make any payment hereunder.

15.12 Other Agents. No Person identified herein as a “Co-Documentation Agent,” a “Managing Agent” or a “Co-Agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, no Person so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Person hereunder or pursuant hereto. Each Person acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any Person so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

15.13 Subsidiary Guaranty. (a) Subject to the proviso contained in clause (b) below, the Administrative Agent shall, and the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to, release any Person which is a Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty, if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to a transaction that does not result in a default of any provision hereof (including Section 13.12). Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Subsidiary from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to this Section 15.13.

(b) The Administrative Agent agrees to promptly execute and deliver to the Company all documents reasonably required to evidence any release permitted under this Agreement; provided that the Company certifies that such release also is permitted under any other agreement governing indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company which is entitled to the benefits of the Subsidiary Guaranty.

15.14 Administrative Agent may file Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other obligations hereunder that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereunder, including under Sections 7.07, 9.07 and 15.07) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 9.07 and 15.07.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations hereunder or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

16.01 Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or similar writing), except where specifically permitted to be given orally, and shall be given to such party at its address or facsimile number set forth on Schedule 16.01 or such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to (i) in the case of any Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (ii) in the case of any Lender, the Administrative Agent and (iii) in the case of the Administrative Agent, the other parties hereto. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile, when such facsimile is transmitted to the facsimile number specified in this Section and the appropriate confirmation is received, (ii) if given by mail, four Business Days after such communication is

deposited in the mails with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid or (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in this Section; provided that notices to Administrative Agent, the UK Lender, the Canadian Lender, any EMU Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Bank shall not be effective until received. Any agreement of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders herein to receive certain notices by telephone or facsimile is solely for the convenience and at the request of the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to be a Person authorized by the applicable Borrower to give such notice, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not have any liability to such Borrower or any other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such telephonic or facsimile notice. The obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans and L/C Obligations shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to receive written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile notice or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to be contained in any telephonic or facsimile notice.

16.02 No Waiver. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any respective right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

16.03 Expenses; Documentary Taxes; Indemnification. (a) The Borrowers shall pay upon demand (i) all reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger, including the reasonable fees and charges of a single joint counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger, in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof and any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default by any Borrower hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and each Lender (who may be employees of the Administrative Agent or such Lender), in connection with such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default and collection and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom. The respective Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any governmental authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any Note.

(b) Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Agent-Related Persons and each Lender and their respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorney’s fees and charges) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Loans and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or the replacement of any Lender) arise out of or result from an action, suit, proceeding (including any insolvency or appellate proceeding) or claim asserted against any such Indemnified Person directly relating to this Agreement or any

document contemplated by or referred to herein, the transactions contemplated hereby or the use of the proceeds of any Credit Extension, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Company shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person for any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event this indemnity is unenforceable as a matter of law as to a particular matter or consequence referred to herein, it shall be enforceable to the full extent permitted by law. The agreements in this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of all other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder.

16.04 Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or any Note may be amended, modified or waived if, but only if, such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Company and the Required Lenders and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent; provided that no such amendment, modification or waiver shall, unless signed by all Committed Lenders and delivered to the Administrative Agent:

(a) increase the Commitment of any Lender (except pursuant to Section 2.07) or subject any Lender to any additional obligations;

(b) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fee hereunder;

(d) change the definition of “Required Lenders” or the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this Agreement;

(f) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty (other than with respect to a Person which ceases to be a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to a transaction that does not result in a default of any provision hereof (including Section 13.12)); or

and provided, further, that no provision hereof affecting the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, the UK Lender, the Canadian Lender, any EMU Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Bank, in its capacity as such, may be amended, modified or waived without the written consent of such Person.

16.05 Collateral. Each of the Lenders represents that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U of the FRB) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights under this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may, with the written consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent, the UK Lender, the Canadian Lender, each EMU Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Bank, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (and provided that (i) no written consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default then exists and (ii) no such written consents shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to a bank or other financial institution that is an Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender (so long as such assignment will not result in any increased costs to any Borrower)), at any time assign and delegate to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each an “Assignee”) all or any ratable part of all of the Committed Loans, its Commitment and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder; provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment by a Committed Lender of all of its Committed Loans, its Commitment and the other rights and obligations of such Committed Lender hereunder, the sum of the amount of the Commitment so assigned shall not be less than US$5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Company and the Administrative Agent in their sole discretion); (ii) the other parties hereto may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (x) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (y) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance together with any Note subject to such assignment and (z) the assignor Lender or Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent a processing fee in the amount of US$3,500; and (iii) none of the UK Lender, the Canadian Lender, any EMU Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Bank may assign its rights and obligations hereunder in such capacity unless arrangements satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent have been made for another Lender or an affiliate of a Lender to act as UK Lender, Canadian Lender, EMU Lender, Swing Line Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

(c) From and after the date that the Administrative Agent notifies the assignor Lender that it has received (and, to the extent required, provided its consent and received the consents of the Company, the UK Lender, the Canadian Lender, each EMU Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Bank with respect to) an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights hereunder have been assigned to it and obligations hereunder have been assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement.

(d) Within five Business Days after the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that it has received (and to the extent required, provided its consent and any other consents with

respect to) an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, the applicable Borrower shall, if requested by the Assignee and/or the assignor Lender, as applicable, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a new Note evidencing such Assignee’s assigned Loans and, if the assignor Lender has retained a portion of its Loans and its Commitment, a replacement Note evidencing the Loans retained by the assignor Lender (such Note to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Note held by such assignor Lender). The Company designates the Administrative Agent as its agent for maintaining a book entry record of ownership identifying the Lenders, their respective addresses and the amount of the respective Loans and Notes which they own. The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the registration requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1 so that the Loans and Notes are considered to be in “registered form” pursuant to such regulation. The entries in such book entry record shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error, regarding ownership of the Loans and Notes.

(e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons not Affiliates of the Company (a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan, the Commitment of such Lender and the other interests of such Lender (the “originating Lender”) hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Lender in connection with the originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement, except to the extent such amendment, consent or waiver would require unanimous consent of the Lenders. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall be entitled to the benefit of Article X, as though it were also a Lender hereunder (provided that no Borrower shall be obligated to pay any amount under Article X to any Participant which is greater than such Borrower would have been required to pay to the originating Lender if no such participation had been sold), and if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation will maintain a book entry record of ownership identifying each of its Participants and the amount of the participation owned by each such Participant. Such book entry record of ownership shall be maintained by the Lender as agent for the Company and the Administrative Agent. This provision is intended to comply with the registration requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1 so that the Loans and Notes are considered to be in “registered form” pursuant to such regulation. The entries in such book entry record shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error, regarding ownership of such participations.

(f) Any Committed Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by such Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Company, the option to provide all or any part of any Committed Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a

commitment by any SPV to make any Committed Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of any Committed Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Committed Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Committed Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Committed Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV 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 SPV, it will not institute, or join any other Person in instituting, against such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof with respect to any claim arising out of this Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 16.06(f), any SPV 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 Committed Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institution providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Committed Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Committed Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, (i) any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement and any Note held by it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law; provided that any foreclosure or similar action by such holders, trustee or representative shall be subject to the provisions of this Section concerning assignments.

16.07 Governing Law. This Agreement and each Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the State of Illinois without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof.

16.08 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute a single agreement, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof signed by all of the parties hereto, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the other parties hereto of such effectiveness.

16.09 Borrowers’ Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Company to take such action and deliver and receive notices hereunder as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as delegated to it by the terms hereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, for administrative convenience of the parties hereto, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall send all notices and communications to be sent to any Borrower solely to

the Company and may rely solely upon the Company to receive all such notices and other communications for and on behalf of each Borrower. Neither the Company nor any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any other Borrower for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (ii) with the consent or at the request of such Borrower or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Person other than the Company (and its authorized officers and employees) may act as agent for the Borrowers hereunder without the written consent of the Administrative Agent.

16.10 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to take, and to cause its Affiliates to take, normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information provided to it by the Company or any Subsidiary, or by the Administrative Agent on the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s behalf, under this Agreement, and neither such Lender nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this Agreement or in connection with other business now or hereafter existing or contemplated with the Company or any Subsidiary; except to the extent such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such Lender or (ii) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company and its Subsidiaries, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary known to such Lender; provided, however, that any Lender may disclose such information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which such Lender is subject or in connection with an examination of such Lender by any such authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (D) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder; (F) to such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors; (G) to any Participant or Assignee, actual or potential (or their respective professional advisors), or to any counterparty (or its professional advisors) to any swap, securitization or derivative transaction referencing or involving any of its rights or obligations as a Lender under this Agreement, actual or potential, provided that such Person agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Lenders hereunder; (H) as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement to which the Company or any Subsidiary is party with such Lender or such Affiliate; and (I) to its Affiliates. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender acknowledges that (a) the information provided hereunder may include material non-public information concerning the Company or a Subsidiary, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

16.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE AND ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY BANKING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

16.12 Consent to Jurisdiction. EACH BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH BORROWER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH LITIGATION BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY BORROWER HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, SUCH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

17.01 Guaranty. The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on each Loan made to each other Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts payable by each other Borrower hereunder. Upon failure by any such Borrower to pay punctually any such amount, the Company shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in this Agreement.

17.02 Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Company under this Article XVII shall be irrevocable, unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of any Borrower (other than the Company) under this Agreement or any Note, by operation of law or otherwise;

(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any Note;

(c) any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any obligation of any Borrower (other than the Company) under this Agreement or any Note;

(d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Borrower or such Borrower’s assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Borrower (other than the Company) contained in this Agreement or any Note;

(e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Company may have at any time against any other Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Borrower (other than the Company) for any reason of this Agreement or any Note, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Borrower (other than the Company) of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by any other Borrower under this Agreement; or

(g) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any other Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Company’s obligations as guarantor hereunder.

17.03 Discharge only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. The Company’s obligations as guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments shall have terminated and the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by any Borrower (other than the Company) under this Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Borrower or otherwise, the Company’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

17.04 Waiver by Company. The Company irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Borrower or any other Person.

17.05 Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by or for the account of any other Borrower pursuant to this Article XVII, the Company shall not be subrogated to any right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender until such time as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received final payment in cash of the full amount of all principal of and interest on the Loans, all fees, all L/C Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.

17.06 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Borrower (other than the Company) under this Agreement or any Note is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Company hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders.

18.01 Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends, restates and replaces in its entirety the Existing Agreement. All rights, benefits, indebtedness, interest, liabilities and obligations of the parties to the Existing Agreement are hereby amended, restated, replaced and superseded in their entirety according to the terms and provisions set forth herein (except that any provision of the Existing Agreement that by its terms survives termination of the Existing Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the applicable parties to the Existing Agreement). All indebtedness, liabilities and obligations under the Existing Agreement, including all promissory notes, if any, executed by the Borrowers pursuant thereto, are hereby renewed by this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents executed by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and shall, from and after the Closing Date, be governed by this Agreement and such other documents. The Borrowers represent and warrant that as of the date hereof there are no claims or offsets against, or defenses or counterclaims to, its obligations under this Agreement, the Existing Agreement or any of the other agreements, documents or instruments executed in connection herewith or therewith. To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, the Borrowers waive any and all such claims, offsets, defenses and counterclaims, whether known or unknown, arising prior to the Closing Date and relating to the Existing Agreement or this Agreement.

18.02 Existing Agreement. Lenders which are parties to the Existing Agreement (and which constitute “Required Lenders” under and as defined in the Existing Agreement) hereby waive the three business days’ notice requirement set forth in Section 2.06 of the Existing Agreement for terminating the commitments under the Existing Agreement, and such Lenders and the Company agree that, subject to the Company’s payment of all amounts then payable under the Existing Agreement (whether or not then due), the commitments under the Existing Agreement shall be terminated on the Closing Date and replaced by the Commitments hereunder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

The Applicable Margin, the Facility Fee Rate, the L/C Fee Rate, the Usage Fee Rate and the Fronting Margin shall be determined as follows:

1. The Applicable Margin, the Facility Fee Rate, the L/C Fee Rate, the Usage Fee Rate and the Fronting Margin are collectively referred to herein as the “Pricing.”

2. (A) The Pricing shall be as set forth in Table A below and shall be calculated based on (a) the credit ratings assigned by Moody’s and S&P to the Company’s debt obligations under this Agreement (each a “Bank Debt Rating”), if Moody’s and S&P have issued such ratings, or (b) if either Moody’s or S&P has not issued a Bank Debt Rating, the general corporate rating assigned by Moody’s and S&P to the Company (each a “Corporate Rating”), or (c) if either Moody’s or S&P has issued neither a Bank Debt Rating nor a Corporate Rating, the credit ratings assigned by Moody’s and S&P to the Company’s long term senior unsecured non-credit-enhanced public Debt (each a “Senior Debt Rating”).

(B) If one Bank Debt Rating, Corporate Rating or Senior Debt Rating is higher than the other (i.e., the Moody’s rating is higher than the S&P rating, or vice versa), the higher of such ratings shall determine the Pricing.

(C) The Pricing shall be adjusted two Business Days after any applicable change in the Bank Debt Rating, Corporate Rating or Senior Debt Rating by either Moody’s or S&P.

3. If at any time either Moody’s or S&P does not have in effect a Bank Debt Rating, a Corporate Rating or a Senior Debt Rating (including any time when neither Moody’s nor S&P has in effect any such rating), the Pricing shall be as set forth in Table B below and shall be calculated based on the Leverage Ratio.

Each Reference Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

All opinions should be addressed to each financial institution and each agent party to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 4, 2005. Customary qualifications, assumptions and limitations will be permitted.

Twenty-eight separate lawsuits involving 29 primary plaintiffs, a class action, and claims for indemnity by Celebrity Cruise Lines, Inc. (Celebrity) were brought against Essef Corporation (Essef) and certain of its subsidiaries prior to our acquisition of Essef in August 1999. Celebrity has alleged that it had sustained economic damages due to loss of use of the M/V Horizon while it was dry-docked.

The claims against Essef and its involved subsidiaries were based upon the allegation that Essef designed, manufactured, and marketed two sand swimming pool filters that were installed as a part of the spa system on the Horizon, and allegations that the spa and filters contained Legionnaire’s disease bacteria that infected certain passengers on cruises from December 1993 through July 1994.

The individual and class claims by passengers were tried and resulted in an adverse jury verdict finding liability on the part of the Essef defendants (70%) and Celebrity and its sister company, Fantasia (together 30%).

After exhaustion of post-trial appeals, Pentair paid all outstanding punitive damage awards of $7.0 million in the Horizon cases, plus interest of approximately $1.6 million in January 2004. Pentair had reserved for the amount of punitive damages awarded at the time of the Essef acquisition. A reserve for the $1.6 million interest cost was recorded in 2003.

All of the personal injury cases have now been resolved through either settlement or trial. The only remaining unresolved case is that brought by Celebrity for interruption of its business. Celebrity has filed an amended complaint seeking attorney fees and costs for prior litigation and damages for out-of-pocket losses, lost profits, and loss of business enterprise value. Discovery commenced late in 2004. Pentair believes its reserves for any liability to Celebrity are adequate and intend to vigorously defend against these claims.

Since 1987, Pentair’s McNeil (Ohio) Company subsidiary (“McNeil”) has been named as a codefendant in asbestos litigation involving claims by a total of approximately 9,000 tireworkers seeking damages for personal injuries allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos or talc in various tire plants. A former division of McNeil’s predecessor supplied tire curing presses to tire makers for which asbestos may have been used as an insulating material. Of these claims, approximately 1,500 were dismissed without payment, approximately 5,000 have been settled for an average settlement of less than approximately $2,000, and approximately 2,500 claims remain outstanding. There is no indication that future settlements would be significantly higher than the historical average. Ninety percent of the cost of defending and settling these claims has been paid by insurance carriers of McNeil’s predecessor, with the balance being paid by McNeil, pursuant to an agreement in force among the insurers and McNeil.

In addition, over the past few years, Pentair or its subsidiaries have been named as codefendants in additional cases. The majority of the cases relate to products manufactured and sold by third parties, for which Pentair has indemnification agreements in place which were negotiated in connection with various acquisitions over the years, e. g. General Signal Pump and Plymouth Products. Other miscellaneous claims, which number fewer than 100, have also been made with respect to products of continuing Pentair businesses or those for which Pentair has retained some liability.

Pentair believes that, given the factual and legal defenses to the pending claims and the applicable insurance and indemnification coverage, these asbestos claims are unlikely to result in material liability to the Company.

In connection with the bankruptcy in 2002 of Transrack, S. A., all of the employees (approximately 150 workers and management) of Transrack were terminated by the bankruptcy trustee. The employees have asserted claims for wrongful termination against, among others, Transrack’s shareholder, the Company’s affiliate in France, on the theory that these employees were actually employed by the affiliate and not by Transrack. This series of claims has been pending over the past two years. No judicial activity on these claims has taken place, as counsel for the employees has not submitted the required claim information for each employee. The next hearings are scheduled for May, 2005 but it appears likely that the hearings will be postponed again until December.

The Company has monitored the progress of these claims since they were filed and has reviewed the potential bases for liability under French law. Pentair believes that, given the factual and legal defenses to the pending claims and the reserves it has accrued therefor, these claims are unlikely to result in material liability to the Company.
