Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the
other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section

Loans. A telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must

one month.
(b)Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice from the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro

continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify

to the other and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be
more than ten Interest Periods in effect.
(f)The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of the
Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any,
hereunder to make its Loan the Closing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other
Lender on the Closing Date.

amount of such prepayment and the Type of Loans to be prepaid. The

Maturity Date
Remaining outstanding principal amount of Loans

provided, however, that (i) the final principal repayment installment of the
Loans shall be repaid on the Maturity Date and in any event shall be in an
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding on such
date and (ii) (A) if any principal repayment installment to be made by the
Borrower (other than principal repayment installments on Eurodollar Rate Loans)
shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, such principal repayment
installment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension
of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be and
(B) if any principal repayment installment to be made by the Borrower on a
Eurodollar Rate Loan shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, such
principal repayment installment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such
principal repayment installment into another calendar month, in which event such
principal repayment installment shall be due on the immediately preceding
Business Day.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.08    Interest.

(a)Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each
Interest Period at a rate per annum equal the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest
Period plus the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) each Base
Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from
the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus
the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans. To the extent that any calculation of
interest or any fee required to be paid under this Agreement shall be based on
(or result in) a calculation that is less than zero, such calculation shall be
deemed zero for purposes of this Agreement.
(b)If any amount of principal, interest or fees payable under Section 2.09 are
not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear
interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the
Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Furthermore,
upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the
Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding
Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due
interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c)Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified
herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms
hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.09    Fees.

(a)The Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers, for their own respective accounts,
fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the KeyBank Fee Letter and the
Wells Fargo Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not
be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
(b)The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as shall have
been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so
specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable
for any reason whatsoever.

2.10    Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable
Rate.

All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans
determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate) shall be made on the basis of a
year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other
computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year
and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable,
being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall
accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue
on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion
is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is
made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.11    Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a)The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more
accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in
the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error
of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and
the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in
doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the
Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In
the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any
Lender and the accounts and

29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest
error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the
Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such
accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse
thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect
thereto.
(b)[Reserved]
(c)Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register
pursuant to Section 2.11(b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts
pursuant to Section 2.11(a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount
of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such
account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an
entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit
or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.

2.12    Payments Generally.

(a)Except as provided in Section 3.01 and Section 11.15, all payments to be made
by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or
deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower with respect
to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Loans shall be made
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which
such payment is owed, at the Payment Office in Dollars and in immediately
available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The
Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share
(or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as
received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received
by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next
succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to
accrue.
(b)If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than
a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and
such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the
case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of
interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made in the next
succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately
preceding Business Day.
(c)Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent,
prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative
Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not
make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such
Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not
be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount
to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not
in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:
(i)if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on
demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment
that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together
with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such
amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date
such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds
at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and
(ii)if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on
demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately
available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date
such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to
the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation
Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time
in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then
such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable
Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount

30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative
Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay
such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the
Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable
to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any
Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights
which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a
result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect
to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.
(d)If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan
to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this
Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the
Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension
set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms
hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as
received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(e)The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments
pursuant to Section 11.05(b) are several and not joint. The failure of any
Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment
under Section 11.05(b) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any
other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its
Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section
11.05(b).
(f)Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for
any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by
any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any
particular place or manner.
(g)Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all
amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in
respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment
shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in
Section 9.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the
Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under
circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which
such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in
accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of the Outstanding
Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time.

2.13    Sharing of Payments.

If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain
on account of the Loans made by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary,
through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its
ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall
immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase
from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be
necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect
of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of
them; provided, however, that (x) if all or any portion of such excess payment
is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the
circumstances described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to
that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing
Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such
paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of
such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered
from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by
the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without
further interest thereon and (y) the provisions of this Section shall not be
construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower
pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B)
any payment obtained by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 or as consideration
for any assignment or participation pursuant to Section 11.07. The Borrower
agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from

31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its
rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 11.09)
with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative
Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of
manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in
each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each
Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from
and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands,
directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the
portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing
Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

2.14    [Reserved].

2.15    [Reserved].

2.16    Defaulting Lender.

(a)Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as
that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law:
(i)Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall
be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section
11.01.
(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to
Article IX or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.09 shall be applied at such time or
times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the
payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or
Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such
Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this
Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, so long as no
Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the
Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fourth,
to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal
amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully
funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the
conditions set forth in Section 5.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment
shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro
rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting
Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in
accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section
2.16(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a
Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting
Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and
redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents
hereto.
(iii)Certain Fees.
(A)The Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive or accrue any fees
payable under Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a
Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee
that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting
Lender).
(B)With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.09(a) not required to be paid
to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall
not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

32

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in
writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent
will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified
in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender
will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of
the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may
determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by
the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share (without giving effect to
Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting
Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to
fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender
was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent
otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from
Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of
any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01    Taxes.

(a)Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free
and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes,
duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar
charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, (1) taxes imposed on or measured by its
overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income
taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the
Laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is
organized or maintains a Lending Office, or to which the Administrative Agent or
such Lender has a present or former connection (other than connections arising
from such recipient having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its
obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security
interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any
Loan Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Loan Document) and
(2) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA (all such
non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees,
withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to
as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes
from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be
increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), each
of the Administrative Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum
it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Administrative
Agent or the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Administrative Agent
or the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) the
Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same
to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) the original or
a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a
receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(b)In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp,
court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or
similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from
the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or
otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other
Taxes”).
(c)The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for
(i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section
3.01) paid by, or required to be deducted or withheld from a payment to, the
Administrative Agent and such Lender and (ii) any liability (including additions
to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto. Payment under this Section 3.01(d) shall be made within 30 days after
the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the
Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the

33

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on
behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.02    Illegality.

If any Lender reasonably determines that the introduction of or Change in Law
has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is
unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or
fund Loans in Dollars whose interest is determined by reference to the
Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through
the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue
Eurodollar Rate Loans in Dollars or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar
Rate Loans in Dollars shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the
illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest
rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the
Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if
necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent
without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each
case, until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that
the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon
receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all
such Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender and/or Base Rate Loans as to which the
interest rate is determined with reference to clause (b) of the definition of
“Eurodollar Rate”, as applicable, to Base Rate Loans as to which the rate of
interest is not determined with reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or, if
requested by such Lender, cause all Loans of such Lender to be converted into a
Base Rate Loan as to which the rate of interest is not determined with reference
to the Eurodollar Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor,
if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to
such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain
such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such
Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate,
the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the
Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate
component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such
Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge
interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Each Lender agrees to notify the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing promptly upon becoming aware
that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest
rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing and despite
the illegality for such a Lender to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans
or Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to
the Eurodollar Rate, that Lender shall remain committed to make Base Rate Loans
and shall be entitled to recover interest at the Base Rate (without giving
effect to clause (c) thereof). Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the
Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted,
but without liability under Section 3.05(a). Each Lender agrees to designate a
different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice
and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially
disadvantageous to such Lender.

3.03    Inability to Determine Rates.

(a)If the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that for any reason in
connection with any request for a Loan or a conversion to or continuation
thereof that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London
interbank eurocurrency market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of
such Loan, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the
Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with a Base Rate Loan, or (iii) the
Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with a Eurodollar Rate Loan does not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the
Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.
Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate
Loans or Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined with
reference to the Eurodollar Rate, as applicable, shall be suspended until the
Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such
notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request
for a conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar

34

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into
a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and
shall be entitled to recover interest at the Base Rate (without giving effect to
clause (c) thereof).
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify
the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to
Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined,
that:
(i)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any
requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR
Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such
circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(ii)the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority
having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement
identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no
longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans
(such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”),
then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent
or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice , as applicable, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR
with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other
adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due
consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S.
dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks
(any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed
LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment shall become
effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the
Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders
and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required
Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such
Required Lenders do not accept such amendment. If no LIBOR Successor Rate has
been determined and the circumstances under clause (b)(i) above exist or the
Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative
Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the
obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be
suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest
Periods), and (y) the Eurodollar Rate component shall no longer be utilized in
determining the Base Rate.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke
any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or
Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such
request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to
the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein. Notwithstanding
anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that
in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of
this Agreement.

3.04    Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on
Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a)If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any
Change in Law or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase
in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
any Loan, the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar
Rate, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in
connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section
3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes
or Other Taxes (as to which Section 3.01 shall govern), (ii) taxes excluded from
the definition of “Taxes” set forth in Section 3.01, and (iii) reserve
requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c)), then from time to time upon
demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent),
the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such increased cost or reduction; provided, that such Lender
shall be generally seeking, or intending generally to seek, comparable
compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities
(to the extent such Lender has the right under such credit facilities to do so)
in similar circumstances.

35

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)If any Lender reasonably determines that the introduction of any Change in
Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or any change therein or in the
interpretation thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office)
therewith, has 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 (taking into consideration its policies with
respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then
from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional
amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction; provided, that such
Lender shall be generally seeking, or intending generally to seek, comparable
compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities
(to the extent such Lender has the right under such credit facilities to do so)
in similar circumstances.
(c)The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be
required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting
of or including eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each
Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to
such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which
determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date
on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have
received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give
notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional
interest shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.

3.05    Funding Losses.

(a)Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time
to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such
Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(i)any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a
Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such
Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or
otherwise);
(ii)any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such
Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other
than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or
(iii)any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day
of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 11.16;

excluding any loss of anticipated profits but including any loss or expense
arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain
such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds
were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees
charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.
(b)In addition to the rights of the Lenders set forth in Section 3.05(a), at any
time on or prior to the 180th day following the Closing Date, upon demand of the
Administrative Agent, from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate
the Administrative Agent for and hold the Administrative Agent harmless from any
loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of any assignment of a
Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
therefor as a result of the syndication of the Credit Facility.
(c)For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders or
the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to
have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such
Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank
Eurocurrency market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether
or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

36

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.06    Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.

(a)A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation
under this Article III and setting forth a statement of reasons for such demand
and the calculation of such additional amount or amounts to be paid to it
hereunder in reasonable detail, and shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent and Lenders may
not seek compensation under this Article III more than 60 days after the
Administrative Agent or such Lender had actual knowledge that such amount or
amounts were payable under this Article III. In determining such amount, the
Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods.
(b)Upon any Lender’s making a claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or 3.04,
the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.16.

3.07    Survival.

All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive the
termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)promptly following any request therefor, provide information and
documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for
purposes of compliance with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money
laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the PATRIOT Act
and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation; and
(d)promptly, such additional information regarding the business, financial or
corporate affairs of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, or compliance with the
terms of the Loan Documents, as the Administrative Agent or any Lender may from
time to time reasonably request.

In lieu of furnishing to the Administrative Agent paper or electronic copies of
the documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.02(b), to the
extent such documents are filed with the SEC or posted on the Borrower’s

such Person’s securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower
Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and
conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, means that the word “PUBLIC”
shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower
Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the
Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders to treat such Borrower
Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although the
parties acknowledge that such information may still be sensitive and/or
proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of
United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the
extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as
set forth in Section 11.08); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are
permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as

designated as “Public Side Information.” For purposes of clarification, (i) any
materials not marked “PUBLIC” shall be deemed to be material non-public
information and (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be under
no obligation to mark any particular Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.”

ARTICLE X

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.01    Appointment and Authority.

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints KeyBank to act on its behalf as
the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to
exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms
hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other
Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such
provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein
or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) 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 as a matter of market custom, and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting
parties.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same
rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term
“Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the
context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative
Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial
advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind
of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as
if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty
to account therefor to the Lenders.

10.03    Exculpatory Provisions.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and their duties
hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(a)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent
is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for
herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent
shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of
its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is
contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and
(c)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to
disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates
that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative
Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken
by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice in
writing describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower or a Lender.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.04    Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the
proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to
it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper
Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its
terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative
Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender
prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with
legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants
and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken
or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel,
accountants or experts.

10.05    Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its
rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any
one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise
its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The
exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to
the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and
shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of
the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the
Administrative Agent.

10.06    Removal and Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a)The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to
the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation,
the Required Lenders shall have the right (with, so long as no Default or Event
of Default exists, the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an
office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in
the United States or another entity a material business of which is or will be
providing administrative agency services. If no such successor shall have been
so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative
Agent may on behalf of the Lenders (with, so long as no Default or Event of
Default exists, the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed,
such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the
Resignation Effective Date.
(b)If at any time the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting
Lender, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by
notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as the
Administrative Agent and appoint (with, so long as no Default or Event of
Default exists, the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) a successor. If no such successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment,
within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders)
(the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become
effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date
(as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed
to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications
and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative
Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender, until such

55

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent
as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the
Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or
removed) Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or
other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the
Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and
the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its
duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not
already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees
payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as
those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower
and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s
resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the
provisions of this Article and Sections 11.04 and 11.05 shall continue in effect
for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents
and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent
was acting as the Administrative Agent.

10.07    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and
based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

10.08    No Other Duties; Etc.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners,
arrangers, syndication agents, documentation agents or co-agents shall have any
powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or
a Lender hereunder.

10.09    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any
other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan 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 the 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 and all other Obligations 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 under Section 2.09, 11.04 and 11.05) 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, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative

56

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09, 11.04 and 11.05.
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 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.

10.10    Guaranty Matters.

At any time following the Springing Guaranty Date, if any Guarantor ceases to be
a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, such Person shall
be automatically released from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty
Agreement, pursuant to this Section 10.10. The Administrative Agent will, at the
Borrower’s reasonable expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party
such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to release such
Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.10.

powers and privileges herein provided, and as provided under each other Loan
Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided by law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the

exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such
enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.01 for the benefit of all the

Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies
that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the Administrative Agent)

preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent
of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as
authorized by the Required Lenders.

any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated), and (ii) all out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender), in connection with the
enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in
connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out‑of‑pocket
expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect
of such Loans.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11.05    Indemnification by the Borrower.

(a)The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent
thereof), each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons
(each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (limited to one counsel for all
Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, a single local
counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant jurisdiction and,
solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each
relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated
taken as a whole)), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any
Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrower or any other Loan Party) other
than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with,
or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the
performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or
thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,
or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its
Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom,
(iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or
from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
giving rise to any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) a material breach of the
obligations of such Indemnitee under this Agreement and (z) any proceeding that
does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and
that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than an
Arranger, the Administrative Agent or any other agent hereunder, in each case,
in its capacity as such). Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01, this
Section 11.05(a) shall not apply with respect to taxes other than any taxes that
represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-tax claim.
(b)Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason
fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) of this
Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof)
or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting the
obligation of any of them), each Lender severally agrees to pay to
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case
may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the
applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid
amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim,
damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such subagent) or against any
Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or
any such sub-agent). The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (b)
are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(e).
(c)Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, the Borrower and each Indemnitee shall not assert, and hereby
waive, and acknowledge that no other Person shall have, any claim against (x)
any Indemnitee or (y) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates
(other than in respect to any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to
a third party), as applicable, on any theory of liability, for special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual
damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds
thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for
any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or
other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee
through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems
in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than for direct or actual
damages resulting from the gross negligence,

62

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(d)Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than
ten Business Days after demand therefor.
(e)Survival. The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provisions of
Section 11.02(e) shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the
replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

11.06    Payments Set Aside..
To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender
exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff
or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of
such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender
severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable
share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the
date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from
time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the
preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

11.07    Successors and Assigns.

(a)Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby, except that (1) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of
its rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and (2) no Lender may assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to
an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this
Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (d) of this Section, (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section
or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of subsection (h) of this
Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto
shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall
be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent
provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.
(b)Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such
assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)Minimum Amounts.
(A)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous
assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such
assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of
this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned;
and
(B)in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the
principal outstanding balance of the Loans of

63

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date
the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to
the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and
Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each
of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(ii)Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment
assigned;
(iii)Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except
to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A)the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender,
an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall
be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object
thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business
Days after having received notice thereof; and
(B)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any
Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a
Commitment in respect of the Commitment subject to such assignment, an Affiliate
of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.
(iv)Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with
a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however,
that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such
processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if
it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire.
(v)No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the
Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any
Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a
Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in
this clause (B), or (C) to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment
vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural
Person).
(vi)Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and
obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be
effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set
forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments
to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution
thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee
of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including
funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the
applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the
Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby
irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities
then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender
hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire its full pro rata share
of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of
rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective
under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph,
then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for
all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to
this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case

64

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party
hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01,
3.04, 3.05, 11.04 and 11.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring
prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the
extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a
Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party
hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon
request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the
assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations
under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated
for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in
such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.
(c)Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall
maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register
information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any
Lender as a Defaulting Lender which it has received notice. The Register shall
be available for inspection the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any
Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.
(d)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice
to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person
(other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust
for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, a
Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or
Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For
the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under
Section 11.05(b) without regard to the existence of any participation.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso of
Section 11.01(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of
this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of
this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 11.09 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a
Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this
purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which
it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts
(and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other
obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided,
however, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion
of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any
Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any
Commitments, Loans or its other Obligations under the Loan Documents) except to
the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment,
Loan or other Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the
United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error,

65

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this
Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(e)Limitations on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a
greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant
acquired the applicable participation. A Participant that would be a Foreign
Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01
unless such Participant complies with Section 11.15 as though it were a Lender.
(f)Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including
under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided
that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto.
(g)[Reserved]
(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a
“Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as
such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any
Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to
this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment
by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such
option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting
Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each
party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the
exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or
otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be
liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for
which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all
purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification
of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder.
The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the
Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such
Granting Lender. 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 debt of any SPC, it will not
institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding
under the Laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but
without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the
payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to
receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii)
disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its
funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of
any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

11.08    Confidentiality.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a)
to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including
accountants, legal counsel and other advisors who need to know such Information
(and provided that such Information is only used by such Affiliates’ directors,
officers, employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel and other advisors in
connection with the services for which such Information is necessary) (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of
the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any
regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its
Related Parties; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or
by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this
Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any
suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of
rights hereunder; (f) to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant

66

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or
indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such
contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor)
to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Loan
Parties; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such
Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Section 11.08 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; (i) to
any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization)
regulating, or any self-regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate
or oversee, any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender; or (j) to any rating agency
when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure,
such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any
Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender). In
addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of
this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors,
similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and
management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the
Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section 11.08, “Information” means
all information received from any Loan Party from time to time provided during
the term of this Agreement (including, without limitation at bank meetings)
relating to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that
is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential
basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.08 shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is the Borrower’s intent
that this Section 11.08 comply with the requirements of Regulation FD
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Rule 100(b)(2)
thereunder.
Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the
Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower
or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (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
United States Federal and state securities Laws.

11.09    Setoff.

In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and
each of their respective Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to
time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such
notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each
Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any
time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or any
such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan
Parties against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under
any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or
not the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations
may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that
of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any
Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so
set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further
application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 and, pending such
payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and
deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the
Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations
owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that
such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees promptly
to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and
application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The
rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective
Affiliates under this Section 11.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) that the Administrative
Agent, such Lender and their respective Affiliates may have.

67

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11.10    Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the
interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the
maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum
Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an
amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to
the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to
the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or
received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such
Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any
payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than
interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c)
amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total
amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations
hereunder.

11.11    Counterparts.

This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier of
an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other
Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart
of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent may
also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier be
confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided that the failure to
request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or
signature delivered by telecopier.

11.12    Integration.

This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete
and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof
and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In
the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of
any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control;
provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be
deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the
joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed
neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the
fair meaning thereof.

11.13    Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document
or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith
or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full
force and effect until such time as the Obligations have been Fully Satisfied.

11.14    Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability
of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall
not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good
faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions
with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to
that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the
foregoing provisions of this Section 11.14, if and to the extent that the
enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating

to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in
good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to
be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

11.15    Tax Forms.

(a)(i) Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Foreign Lender”) shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to
withholding under the Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest
herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E,
as applicable, or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and
entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all
payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments
to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or
such other evidence satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of U.S.
withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code.
Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly
submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed
copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from
time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be
available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or
such evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of
any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in
respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement, (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any
change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed
exemption or reduction, and (C) take such steps as shall not be materially
disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be
reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to
avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that the Borrower make any deduction or
withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Lender.
(i)Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its
own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such
Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account
with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and from time to
time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent (A) two
duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided
by such Lender as set forth above, to establish that the portion of any such
sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account
is not subject to, or is subject to a reduced rate of, U.S. withholding tax, and
(B) two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor
thereto), together with any information such Lender chooses to transmit with
such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under
the Code, to establish that (x) such Lender is not acting for its own account
with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Lender and (y) such
portion of the sums payable to such Lender is not subject to, or is subject to a
reduced rate of, U.S. withholding tax.
(b)Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender that is a U.S.
Person shall deliver to the Administrative Agent two duly signed completed
copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal
backup withholding. If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the
Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an
amount equivalent to the applicable backup withholding tax imposed by the Code,
without reduction.
(c)Each Lender that is entitled to any exemption or reduction of non-U.S.
withholding tax with respect to any payment under this Agreement shall, at the
time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such certificates,
documents or other evidence reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, establishing that such payment is not subject to, or is
subject to a reduced rate of, withholding.
(d)The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
under Section 3.01 if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the requirements
of Sections 11.15(a), (b) and (c); provided that if such Lender shall have
satisfied the requirements of Sections 11.15(a), (b) and (c) on the date such
Lender became a Lender under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this Section
11.15(d) shall relieve the Borrower

69

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 in the event that,
as a result of any Change in Law, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to
deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing
the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender
receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to
withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate. The Administrative
Agent may, without reduction, withhold any taxes required to be deducted and
withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to which
the Borrower is not required to pay additional amounts under this Section
11.15(d).
(e)If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender (or the beneficial
owners of such payment) were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting
requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b)
of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or
times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such
documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section
1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under
FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s
obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from
such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (e), “FATCA” shall include any
amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(f)If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not
properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other
amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and
interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the
Administrative Agent under this Section 11.15, and costs and expenses (including
Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under
this Section 11.15 shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment
of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative
Agent.

11.16    Replacement of Lenders.

(a)If the Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of
Section 3.06, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting
Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to
such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.07), all of its interests,
rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and
3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an
Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be
another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(b)the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee
(if any) specified in Section 11.07(b);
(c)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including
any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the
case of all other amounts);
(d)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01,
such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments
thereafter;
(e)such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and
(f)in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a
Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the
applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.

FORM OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT

THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty”) dated as of [________ __,
20__] is given by the Material Subsidiaries of The Timken Company, an Ohio
corporation (the “Borrower”), from time to time party hereto (each a “Guarantor”
and collectively, the “Guarantors”), in favor of KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,
in its capacity as administrative agent under the Credit Agreement (as defined
below) (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), the Lenders and the
holders of the Obligations.

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of September 11,
2018 (as amended, amended and restated, modified, supplemented, increased,
extended, restated, renewed, refinanced or replaced from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, the Lenders identified therein and the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders have agreed to make Loans upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth therein; and
WHEREAS, this Guaranty is required pursuant to Section 7.12 of the Credit
Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1.    Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings provided to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

2.    Guaranty. Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees
to each Lender, each Swap Bank, each Treasury Management Bank, and the
Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided, the prompt payment of the
Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby
further agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the Guarantors will,
jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice
whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal
of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due
(whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with
the terms of such extension or renewal.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other
of the Loan Documents, Swap Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements, the
obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents
shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would
not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws or
any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.
3.    Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under this
Guaranty are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the
value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan
Documents, Swap Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements or any other
agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release,
impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the
Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law,
irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor,
it being the intent of this Section 3 that the obligations of the Guarantors
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances.
Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation,
indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any other
Guarantor for amounts paid under this Guaranty until such time as the
Obligations have been Fully Satisfied. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the
liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall remain absolute and
unconditional as described above:

92

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a)    at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the
time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be
extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(b)    any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan
Documents, any Swap Contract between any Loan Party and any Swap Bank, or any
Treasury Management Agreement between any Loan Party and any Treasury Management
Bank, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents,
such Swap Contracts or such Treasury Management Agreements shall be done or
omitted;
(c)    the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of
the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or
any right under any of the Loan Documents, any Swap Contract between any Loan
Party and any Swap Bank or any Treasury Management Agreement between any Loan
Party and any Treasury Management Bank, or any other agreement or instrument
referred to in the Loan Documents, such Swap Contracts or such Treasury
Management Agreements shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the
Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in
whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(d)    any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any
Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or
be perfected; or
(e)    any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable
(including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any
Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including,
without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor).
With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices
whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender
exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of
the Loan Documents, any Swap Contract between any Loan Party and any Swap Bank
or any Treasury Management Agreement between any Loan Party and any Treasury
Management Bank, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan
Documents, such Swap Contracts or such Treasury Management Agreements, or
against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of
the Obligations.
4.    Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty shall
be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment
by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must
be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a
result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each
Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender
on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or
such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any
such reasonable costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim
alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or
similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
5.    Certain Additional Waivers. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor
shall have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations, except through
the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 3 and through the
exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 7.

6.    Remedies. The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be
forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement
(and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the
circumstances provided in said Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement) for
purposes of Section 2 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming
automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the
event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become
automatically due and payable), the

93

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith
become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 2.

7.    Rights of Contribution. The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves
that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have a
right of contribution from each other Guarantor in accordance with applicable
Law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of
payment to the Obligations until such time as the Obligations have been Fully
Satisfied, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any such contribution
rights until the Obligations have been Fully Satisfied.

8.    Guaranty of Payment: Continuing Guaranty. The guarantee in this Guaranty
is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and
shall apply to the Obligations whenever arising.

9.    Keepwell. Each Loan Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor (as defined
below) at the time this Guaranty becomes effective with respect to any Swap
Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to any Loan Party
that is not then an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange
Act (each such Loan Party, a “Specified Loan Party”) with respect to such Swap
Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to
honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of such Swap
Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability
that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s
obligations and undertakings under this Guaranty voidable under applicable
Debtor Relief Laws, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and
undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 9 shall remain
in full force and effect until the Obligations (other than contingent
obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full. Each
Loan Party intends this Section 9 to constitute, and this Section 9 shall be
deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit
of each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

For the purposes of this Guaranty, “Qualified ECP Guarantor” means at any time
each Loan Party with total assets exceeding $10,000,000 or that qualifies at
such time as an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act
and can cause another Person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” at
such time under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

10.    Costs and Expenses. The terms of Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement
with respect to costs and expenses are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis
mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms. The obligations of the
Guarantors under the preceding sentence shall survive termination of this
Guaranty.

11.    Representations and Warrantees. Each Guarantor hereby represents and
warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that each of the
representations and warranties set forth in Article VI (other than Sections
6.05(c), 6.06 and 6.09) of the Credit Agreement that are applicable to such
Guarantor are true and correct in all material respects (or, if such
representation or warranty is qualified by materiality or material adverse
effect, it shall be true and correct in all respects as drafted) as of the date
hereof and as of the date of each Credit Extension under the Credit Agreement.

12.    Covenants. So long as (i) any Lender shall have any Commitment under the
Credit Agreement, or (ii) any Loan or other Obligation under the Credit
Agreement shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied, each Guarantor hereby agrees that
it shall comply with the agreements and covenants set forth in the Credit
Agreement (including Articles VII and VIII of the Credit Agreement) that are
applicable to such Guarantor.

13.    Term of Guaranty. This Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect
until the Obligations are paid in full (other than contingent indemnification
obligations). This Guaranty covers the Obligations whether presently outstanding
or arising subsequent to the date hereof including all amounts advanced by the
Lenders in stages or installments.

14.    Further Agreements. The Guarantors agree that neither the Administrative
Agent nor any other holder of the Obligations will have any obligation to
investigate the financial condition or affairs of the Borrower for the benefit
of the Guarantors nor to advise the Guarantors of any fact respecting, or any
change in, the financial condition

94

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or affairs of the Borrower which might come to the knowledge of the
Administrative Agent or any holder of the Obligations at any time, whether or
not the Administrative Agent or such holder of the Obligations knows or believes
or has reason to know or believe that any such fact or change is unknown to the
Guarantors or might (or does) materially increase the risk of such Guarantor as
Guarantor or might (or would) affect the willingness of such Guarantor to
continue as the guarantor with respect to the Obligations.

15.    Additional Liability of Guarantors. If any Guarantor is or becomes liable
for any indebtedness owing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any
holder of the Obligations by endorsement or otherwise other than under this
Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or reduced hereby
but shall have all and the same force and effect it would have had if this
Guaranty had not existed and such Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not be
in any manner impaired or reduced thereby.

16.    Cumulative Rights. All rights of the Administrative Agent and the holders
of the Obligations hereunder are separate and cumulative and may be pursued
separately, successively or concurrently, or not pursued, without affecting or
limiting any other right of the Administrative Agent and without affecting or
impairing the liability of the Guarantors.

17.    Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding on and enforceable
against the Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns; provided
that the Guarantors may not assign or transfer any of its obligations hereunder
except to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement. This Guaranty is
intended for and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and each
holder of the Obligations, and each and every reference herein to
“Administrative Agent” shall include and refer to each and every successor or
permitted assignee of the Administrative Agent at any time holding or owning any
part of or interest in any part of the Obligations. Each Guarantor expressly
waives notice of transfer or assignment of all or any part of the Obligations or
of the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder.

18.    Application of Payments. Payments received pursuant to this Guaranty
shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 9.03 of
the Credit Agreement.

19.    Modifications. Subject to Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement, this
Guaranty and the provisions hereof may be amended, modified, waived, discharged
or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the Guarantors and the
Administrative Agent.

20.    Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under this
Guaranty shall be in conformance with Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement.

21.     Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Trial by
Jury.

(a)    THIS GUARANTY and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action
(whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or
relating to this GUARANTY and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of NEW YORK.

(b)     EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT
