Pursuant to the Merger Agreement (such term and each other capitalized term used

Company will acquire (the “Acquisition”) all the Capital Stock of Biomet. In

therefor, the Company has entered into this Agreement and the 364-Day Credit
Agreement.

The Borrowers have requested that the Lenders, on the terms and subject to the
conditions herein set forth, (i) extend credit to the Borrowers in the form of
(a) Revolving Loans at any time and from time to time prior to the Revolving
Maturity Date in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $1,350,000,000
at any time outstanding and (b) Term Loans on the Term Loan Funding Date in an
aggregate principal amount not in excess of $3,000,000,000 and (ii) provide a

requested the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit in an aggregate face
amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $50,000,000 to support payment
obligations incurred for general corporate purposes of the Company and the
Subsidiaries.

The proceeds of the Term Loans made on the Term Loan Funding Date are to be used

accordance with the Merger Agreement, (ii) to refinance Debt of the Company and
Biomet and their respective subsidiaries (the “Refinancing”) and (iii) to pay
fees and expenses related to the Transactions and the Acquisition. The proceeds
of the Revolving Loans made to the Borrowers shall be used for general corporate
purposes. The Lenders are willing to extend such credit on the terms and subject

with applicable laws and regulations and without being subject to any
unreimbursed or unindemnified Tax or other expense. Upon the receipt by the
General Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by
such a Wholly Owned Subsidiary and the Company, such Wholly Owned Subsidiary
shall be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement. A Subsidiary
shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary hereunder at such time as no Loans,
fees or any other amounts due in connection therewith pursuant to the terms
hereof shall be outstanding to such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary and the
Company shall have executed and delivered to the General Administrative Agent a
Borrowing Subsidiary Termination; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, no Borrowing Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing
Subsidiary solely because it no longer is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the
Company

 

34

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

so long as such Borrowing Subsidiary and the Company shall not have executed and
delivered to the General Administrative Agent a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination
and the Company’s guarantee of the Borrower Obligations of such Borrowing
Subsidiary pursuant to Section 13.16 has not been released; provided further
that in the event that (a) a Borrowing Subsidiary ceases to be a Wholly Owned
Subsidiary of the Company, such Borrowing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to
request new Loans hereunder, and (b) a Borrowing Subsidiary ceases to be a
Subsidiary, all outstanding Loans owed by such Borrowing Subsidiary shall become

SECTION 2.05. Extension of Revolving Maturity Date. The Company may, by delivery
of a Revolving Maturity Date Extension Request to the General Administrative
Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) not less than
45 days and not more than 85 days prior to any anniversary of the Effective
Date, request that the Revolving Lenders extend the Revolving Maturity Date for
an additional period of one year; provided that there shall be no more than two
extensions of the Revolving Maturity Date pursuant to this Section. Each
Revolving Lender shall, by notice to the Company and the General Administrative
Agent given not later than the 20th day after the date of the General
Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Company’s Revolving Maturity Date
Extension Request, advise the Company whether or not it agrees to the requested
extension (each Revolving Lender agreeing to a requested extension being called
a “Consenting Lender”, and each Revolving Lender declining to agree to a
requested extension being called a “Declining Lender”). Any Defaulting Lender
and any Revolving Lender that has not so advised the Company and the General
Administrative Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to
such extension and shall be a Declining Lender; provided that a Declining Lender
(other than a Defaulting Lender) may, with the written consent of the Company,
elect to become a Consenting Lender by providing written notice of such election
to the Company and the General Administrative Agent at any time prior to the
Existing Maturity Date. If Revolving Lenders constituting the Required Lenders
shall have agreed to a Revolving Maturity Date Extension Request within the
20-day period described above, then the Revolving Maturity Date shall, as to the
Consenting Lenders, be extended to the first anniversary of the Revolving
Maturity Date theretofore in effect (such Revolving Maturity Date being called
the “Existing Maturity Date”). The decision to agree or withhold agreement to
any Revolving Maturity Date Extension Request shall be at the sole discretion of
each Revolving Lender. The Revolving Commitment of any Declining Lender shall
terminate on the Existing Maturity Date. The principal amount of any outstanding
Revolving Loans made by Declining Lenders, together with any accrued interest
thereon and any accrued fees and other amounts payable to or for the account of
such Declining Lenders hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Existing
Maturity Date, and on the Existing Maturity Date the Borrowers shall also make
such other prepayments of their Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 6.06 as
shall be required in order that, after giving effect to the termination of the
Revolving Commitments of, and all payments to, Declining Lenders pursuant to
this sentence, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures plus the Competitive
Loan Exposure would not exceed the total Revolving Commitments. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Company shall have the right,
pursuant to Section 6.14(b), at any time on or prior to the Existing Maturity
Date, to replace a Declining Lender with one or more Revolving Lenders or other
financial institutions that will agree to the applicable Revolving Maturity Date
Extension Request, and each such replacement Revolving Lender or financial
institution shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Lender.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of the Revolving Maturity

 

35

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

Date pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective unless on the anniversary
of the Effective Date that immediately follows the date on which the Company
delivers the applicable Revolving Maturity Date Extension Request, the
conditions set forth in Sections 8.03(c) and (d) shall be satisfied and the
General Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect
dated on such anniversary of the Effective Date and executed by a Financial
Officer of the Company.

not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Consenting Lenders. To

other Borrower) shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Advance Agent a duly

Competitive Borrowing, not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, three

proposed Competitive Borrowing, and in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not
later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of the
Competitive Borrowing; provided that (i) the failure of such Borrower to give
such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of each Competitive Bid, (ii) such
Borrower shall not accept a Competitive Bid made at a particular Competitive Bid
Rate if the Company rejects a Competitive Bid made at a lower Competitive Bid
Rate, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by such
Borrower shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the requested Competitive
Borrowing specified in the related Competitive Bid Request, (iv) to the extent
necessary to comply with clause (iii) above, such Borrower may accept
Competitive Bids at the same Competitive Bid Rate in part, which acceptance, in
the case of multiple Competitive Bids at such Competitive Bid Rate, shall be
made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Competitive Bid and
(v) except pursuant to clause (iv) above, no Competitive Bid shall be accepted
for a Competitive Loan unless such Competitive Loan is in a minimum principal
amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided further
that if a Competitive Loan must be in an amount less than $5,000,000 because of

whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and, if so, the amount and
Competitive Bid Rate so accepted), and each successful bidder will thereupon
become bound, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to make the
Competitive Loan in respect of which its Competitive Bid has been accepted.

(f) If the Advance Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity
as a Revolving Lender, it shall submit such Competitive Bid directly to the
Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) at least one
quarter of an hour earlier than the time by which the other Revolving Lenders
are required to submit their Competitive Bids to the Advance Agent pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section 3.01.

and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement
submitted by the Company (on behalf of any Borrowing Subsidiary) to, or entered
into by the Company (on behalf of itself or any Borrowing Subsidiary) with, the
Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of
this Agreement shall control. At the request of the Company (on behalf of itself
or any Borrowing Subsidiary), any Letter of Credit may be issued for the joint
and several account of such Borrower and another Borrower. The Existing Letters
of Credit are deemed to have been issued under this Agreement and will, for all
purposes of this Agreement, constitute Letters of Credit.

(b) Notice of Issuance; Amendment; Renewal; Extension; Certain Conditions. To
request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or
extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Company (on behalf of itself
or any Borrowing Subsidiary) shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by
electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the
Issuing Lender) to the Issuing Lender and the General Administrative Agent
(reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or
identifying the

 

38

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

Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to
expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section 4.01), the amount
of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and
such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend
such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Lender, the Company (on
behalf of itself or any Borrowing Subsidiary) also shall submit a letter of
credit application on the Issuing Lender’s standard form in connection with any
request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended,
renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension
of each Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant
that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension
(i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000, (ii) the sum of the total U.S.
Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total U.S. Revolving
Commitments, (iii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures plus the
total Competitive Loan Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving
Commitments and (iv) in the event the Revolving Maturity Date shall have been
extended as provided in Section 2.05, the sum of the LC Exposures attributable
to Letters of Credit expiring after any Existing Maturity Date and the
Competitive Loans maturing after such Existing Maturity Date shall not exceed
the total Revolving Commitments of the Consenting Lenders.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close
of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the
issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension
thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is
five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a
Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof), and effective upon the date of
such issuance (or, in the case of any Existing Letter of Credit, on the
Effective Date), and without any further action on the part of the Issuing
Lender or the U.S. Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Lender hereby grants to each
U.S. Revolving Lender, and each U.S. Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the
Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such U.S.
Revolving Lender’s U.S. Revolving Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in
furtherance of the foregoing, each U.S. Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to the General Administrative Agent, for the
account of the Issuing Lender, such U.S. Revolving Lender’s U.S. Revolving
Commitment Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender and not
reimbursed on or before the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this
Section 4.01, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the
Borrowers for any reason. Each U.S. Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees
that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in
respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default
or reduction or termination of the U.S. Revolving Commitments, and that each
such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or
reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in
respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC
Disbursement by paying to the General Administrative Agent an amount equal to
such LC Disbursement not

 

39

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

later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement
is made, if such Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement
prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has
not been received by such Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not
later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that such
Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the day of receipt or (ii) the Business Day immediately
following the day that such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not
received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Company (on
behalf of itself or the applicable Borrowing Subsidiary) may, subject to the
conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with
Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with a U.S. Revolving Loan or
Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such
Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by
the resulting U.S. Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan. If such Borrower fails to
make such payment when due, the General Administrative Agent shall notify each
U.S. Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due
from such Borrower in respect thereof and such U.S. Revolving Lender’s U.S.
Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such
notice, each U.S. Revolving Lender shall pay to the General Administrative Agent
its U.S. Revolving Commitment Percentage of the payment then due from such
Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 6.01 with respect to U.S.
Revolving Loans made by such U.S. Revolving Lender (and Section 6.01 shall
apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the U.S. Revolving
Lenders), and the General Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing
Lender the amounts so received by it from the U.S. Revolving Lenders. Promptly
following receipt by the General Administrative Agent of any payment from such
Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the General Administrative Agent shall
distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that U.S.
Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the
Issuing Lender, then to such U.S. Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Lender as
their interests may appear. Any payment made by a U.S. Revolving Lender pursuant
to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement (other
than the funding of U.S. Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not
constitute a Loan and shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to
reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. Each applicable Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 4.01 shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances
whatsoever and irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this
Agreement, or any term or provision therein;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of
the provisions of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement;

(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that any
Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, any
Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at
any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing
Lender, the General Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person,
whether in connection with this Agreement or any other related or unrelated
agreement or transaction;

 

40

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

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to
be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being
untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation
of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter
of Credit; and

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuing
Lender, the Lenders, the General Administrative Agent or any other Person or any
other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 4.01, constitute a
legal or equitable discharge of such Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Neither the General Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Lender nor
any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, shall have
any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance
or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any
payment thereunder, including any of the circumstances specified in clauses (i)
through (vi) above, as well as any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay
in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or
relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a
drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any
consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender;
provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Lender
from liability to such Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed
to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the
Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower
that are caused by the Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise the agreed standard
of care (as set forth below) in determining whether drafts and other documents
presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties
hereto expressly agree that the Issuing Lender shall have exercised the agreed
standard of care in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the
part of the Issuing Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it
is understood that the Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their
face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit,
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents
that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have the right, in its
sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if
such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of
Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender shall, promptly following its
receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for
payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the
General Administrative Agent and such Borrower for whose account such Letter of
Credit was issued by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for
payment and whether the Issuing Lender has made or will make an

 

41

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

LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving
such notice shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the
Issuing Lender and the U.S. Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC
Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement,
unless the Borrowers shall reimburse (including with the proceeds of Loans as
provided in Section 4.01(e)) such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC
Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each
day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding
the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement at the rate per annum
specified in Section 6.08(a); provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse
(including with the proceeds of Loans as provided in Section 4.01(e)) such LC,
Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 4.01, then
Section 6.08(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall
be for the account of the Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and
after the date of payment by any U.S. Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e)
of this Section 4.01 to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be for the account of
such U.S. Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender may resign
at any time by giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the General
Administrative Agent and the Company, and may be removed at any time by the
Company by notice to the Issuing Lender and the General Administrative Agent.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Lender hereunder by a
Lender that shall agree to serve as successor Issuing Lender, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and
obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender and the retiring Issuing Lender shall
be discharged from its obligations to issue additional Letters of Credit
hereunder. At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the
Company shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 6.07(c)(ii).
The acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Lender hereunder by a successor
Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a
form satisfactory to the Company and the General Administrative Agent, and, from
and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall
have all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Lender under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the
other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to
such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all
previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the resignation or
removal of the Issuing Lender hereunder, the retiring Issuing Lender shall
remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations
of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with
respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal,
but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of
a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related
thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount
thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit
after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated
amount is in effect at the time of determination.

ARTICLE V

Swingline Loans

SECTION 5.01. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans under the U.S.
Revolving Commitments to the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary from time to
time during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount
at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $50,000,000, (ii) the sum of the
total U.S. Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total U.S. Revolving
Commitments or (iii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures plus the
total Competitive Loan Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Commitments;
provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline
Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company or any
Borrowing Subsidiary may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. Swingline
Loans shall be in an aggregate amount that is not less than $100,000. Swingline
Loans shall be ABR Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Company (on behalf of itself or any
Borrowing Subsidiary) shall notify the General Administrative Agent of such
request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 3:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day)
and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The General Administrative Agent
will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the
Company (on behalf of itself or any Borrowing Subsidiary). The Swingline Lender
shall make each Swingline Loan available to such Borrower by means of a credit
to the general deposit account of such Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or,
in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC
Disbursement as provided in Section 4.01, by remittance to the Issuing Lender)
by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the General
Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any
Business Day require the U.S. Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on
such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such
notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which U.S.
Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the
General Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each U.S. Revolving
Lender, specifying in such notice such U.S. Revolving Lender’s U.S. Revolving
Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each U.S. Revolving
Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as
provided above, to pay to the General Administrative Agent, for the account of
the Swingline Lender, such U.S. Revolving Lender’s U.S. Revolving Commitment
Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each U.S. Revolving Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in
Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence
and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving
Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each U.S. Revolving Lender shall

 

43

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

comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 6.01 with respect to
U.S. Revolving Loans made by such U.S. Revolving Lender (and Section 6.01 shall
apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the U.S. Revolving
Lenders), and the General Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the
Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the U.S. Revolving Lenders.
The General Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of any participations
in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter
payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the General
Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by
the Swingline Lender from a Borrower (or other party on behalf of such Borrower)
in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the
proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the
General Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the General
Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the General Administrative
Agent to the U.S. Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant
to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear.
The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph
shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

ARTICLE VI

General Provisions Applicable to Loans

SECTION 6.01. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be
made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds in the applicable Currency to the account of the
Applicable Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof, most recently
designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, by 2:00 p.m., Local
Time or, in the case of any Loan in Japanese Yen under the Japanese Commitments
by 12:00 noon, Local Time. The Applicable Administrative Agent will make Loans
available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so
received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower maintained with the
Applicable Administrative Agent (or such other account as may be designated by
such Borrower) in (i) New York City with respect to Loans made in Dollars to the
U.S. Borrower, (ii) London with respect to Loans made to the European Borrower
and Loans made in an Alternate Currency to the U.S. Borrower and (iii) Tokyo
with respect to Loans made to the Japanese Borrower, as the case may be. If a
Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein
specified shall not have been met, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall
return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(b) Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing (or in the case of an ABR
Borrowing, the proposed time that such Lender’s share of such ABR Borrowing must
be made available to the Applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 6.01(a)) that such Lender will not make available to the Applicable
Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Applicable
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available
on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 6.01 and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to such Borrower a corresponding
amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Borrowing available to the Applicable Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to

 

44

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

pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the
date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of
payment to the Applicable Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such
Lender, (A) in the case of Borrowings denominated in Dollars, the greater of the
Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Applicable
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation and (B) in the case of Borrowings denominated in any Alternate
Currency, the interest rate reasonably determined by the Applicable
Administrative Agent to reflect its cost of funds for the amount advanced by
such Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender, or (ii) in the case of such
Borrower, the interest rate on the applicable Borrowing; provided that no
repayment by such Borrower pursuant to this sentence shall be deemed to be a
prepayment for purposes of Section 6.11. If such Lender pays such amount to the
Applicable Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s
Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 6.02. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the
Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a
Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in
such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower or the Company (on
its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) may elect to convert such
Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of
a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided
in this Section. The applicable Borrower or the Company (on its own behalf or on
behalf of any other Borrower) may elect different options with respect to
different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion
shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such
Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a
separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Competitive Borrowings,
which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower or the
Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) shall notify the
Applicable Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a
Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the applicable
Borrower or the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower)
were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made
on the effective date of such election.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the
following information in compliance with Section 2.03:

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

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

 

45

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

(iii) in the case of Borrowings denominated in Dollars, whether the resulting
Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

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

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower or the Company (on
its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

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

(e) If the Company or the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest
Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as
provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be
(i) converted to an ABR Borrowing if it is denominated in Dollars or
(ii) continued as such with an Interest Period of one month if it is denominated
in an Alternate Currency.

SECTION 6.03. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously
terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity
Date and the Term Loan Commitments (other than any Incremental Term Loan
Commitments, which shall terminate as provided for in the applicable Incremental
Assumption Agreement) shall terminate upon the making of the Term Loans on the
Term Loan Funding Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Term Loan Commitments
shall terminate immediately and without further action upon the earlier to occur
of (i) 5:00 P.M. (Local Time) on the Outside Date and (ii) the date on which the
Merger Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms. Any Incremental Term
Loan Commitment shall terminate as provided in the applicable Incremental
Assumption Agreement.

(b) The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the
Commitments of a Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of a
Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not
less than $3,000,000 and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the
Revolving Commitments of such Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent
prepayment of the Revolving Loans of such Class, (i) the outstanding Revolving
Credit Exposure of such Class would exceed the Revolving Commitment of such
Class or (ii) the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures plus the Competitive
Loan Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

(c) The Company shall notify the General Administrative Agent, of any election
to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at
least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or
reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly
following receipt of any notice, the General Administrative Agent or an
affiliate thereof shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents

 

46

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

thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be
irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of any Commitments delivered
by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness
of other financing arrangements, in which case such notice may be revoked by the
Company (by notice to the General Administrative Agent on or prior to the
specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or
reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of any
Commitments shall be made ratably among the applicable Lenders in accordance
with their respective applicable Commitments of the applicable Class.

SECTION 6.04. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Company and each
Borrowing Subsidiary hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the General
Administrative Agent for the account of each U.S. Lender (i) on the Revolving
Maturity Date, the then unpaid principal amount of the U.S. Revolving Loans of
such Lender, (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Loan made
by such U.S. Lender to such Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable to such Loan and (iii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Term
Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 6.16.

(b) Each of the Borrowers hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Japanese
Administrative Agent for the account of each Japanese Lender (i) on the
Revolving Maturity Date, the then unpaid principal amount of its Japanese
Revolving Loans and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Competitive
Loan made by such Japanese Lender to such Borrower on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable to such Loan.

(c) Each of the Borrowers hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the European
Administrative Agent for the account of each Multicurrency Lender (i) on the
Revolving Maturity Date, the then unpaid principal amount of its Multicurrency
Revolving Loans and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Competitive
Loan made by such Multicurrency Lender to such Borrower on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable to such Loan.

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

(e) Each Administrative Agent shall maintain a Register pursuant to
subsection 13.04(d) and an account for each applicable Lender in which it shall
record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any promissory note
evidencing such Loan, the Class and Type thereof (and, in the case of an
Alternate Currency Loan, the Currency) and the Interest Period applicable
thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the
amount of any sum received by such Administrative Agent hereunder for the
account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(f) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained
pursuant to paragraphs (d) and (e) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence
of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that
the failure of any

 

47

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

Lender or any Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error
therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay
the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(g) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a
promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute
and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and in a
form approved by the General Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans
evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times
(including after assignment pursuant to Section 13.04) be represented by one or
more promissory notes in such form payable to such payee and its assigns.

SECTION 6.05. Incremental Commitments. (a) The Company may, by written notice to
the General Administrative Agent, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments,
additional U.S. Revolving Commitments, additional Multicurrency Commitments
and/or additional Japanese Commitments, as applicable, in an aggregate amount
not to exceed the Incremental Facility Amount at such time, from one or more
Incremental Term Lenders or Persons who will become U.S. Revolving Lenders,
Multicurrency Lenders and/or Japanese Lenders (which may include any existing
Lender willing to provide the same, in their own discretion); provided that each
such Person, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval
of the General Administrative Agent and, if assuming a U.S. Revolving
Commitment, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender (which approvals shall
not be unreasonably withheld). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the
Incremental Term Loan Commitments, additional U.S. Revolving Commitments,
additional Multicurrency Commitments and/or additional Japanese Commitments
being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a
minimum amount of $10,000,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental Facility
Amount), the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments, additional
U.S. Revolving Commitments, additional Multicurrency Commitments and/or
additional Japanese Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall
not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such
notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the General Administrative Agent) and
(iii) in the case of Incremental Term Loan Commitments, whether such Incremental
Term Loan Commitments are to be Term Loan Commitments or commitments to make
term loans with terms different from the Term Loans (“Other Term Loans”).

(b) The Company and each Incremental Term Lender, additional U.S. Revolving
Lender, additional Multicurrency Lender and/or additional Japanese Lender shall
execute and deliver to the General Administrative Agent an Incremental
Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the General Administrative
Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Commitment of such Lender. Each
Incremental Assumption Agreement in respect of Incremental Term Loan Commitments
shall specify the terms of the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agents may
take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after
giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Commitments of any Class pursuant
to Section 6.05(a), the outstanding Revolving Loans (if any) of such Class are
held by the Lenders in accordance with their new Applicable Percentages of such
Class. This may be accomplished at the discretion of

 

48

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

the General Administrative Agent by (i) requiring the outstanding Revolving
Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Revolving Borrowing of such
Class, (ii) causing non-increasing Lenders to assign (at par, with accrued
interest and fees) portions of their outstanding Revolving Loans of the affected
Class to Persons who are becoming Lenders (or increasing their Commitments of
the applicable Class), or (iii) any combination of the foregoing. Any prepayment
or assignment described in this paragraph (b) shall be subject to Section 6.11,
but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. In addition, to the extent
any Incremental Term Loans are not Other Term Loans, the scheduled amortization
payments under Section 6.15 required to be made after the making of such
Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal
amount of such Incremental Term Loans.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment or
increase in any Revolving Commitment shall become effective under this
Section 6.05 unless, (i) on the date thereof, the conditions set forth in
paragraphs (c) and (d) of Section 8.03 shall be satisfied and the General
Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such
date and executed by the President, a Vice President or a Financial Officer of
the Company, and (ii) the General Administrative Agent shall have received (with
sufficient copies for each of the Lenders) legal opinions, board resolutions and
certificates consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date under
paragraphs (b) and (e) of Section 8.01.

SECTION 6.06. Prepayment of Loans. (a) A Borrower shall have the right at any
time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject
to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that
no Borrower shall have the right to prepay any Competitive Loan without the
prior consent of the Lender thereof.

(b) A Borrower shall notify the General Administrative Agent and the Applicable
Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment
hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later
than 12:00 noon, Local Time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment,
and (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than
12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment.
Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and
the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in
the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the
amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in
connection with a conditional notice of termination of any Commitments as
contemplated by Section 6.03, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if
such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 6.03. Promptly
following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Applicable
Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents
thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that
would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same
Commitment and Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply
fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a
Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid
Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent
required by Section 6.08.

 

49

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

(c) So long as no commitments or loans shall be outstanding under the 364-Day
Credit Agreement, on each occasion that the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary
receives any Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Company
shall promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) apply 100% of the
Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Term
Loans. Each prepayment of outstanding Term Loans required to be made pursuant to
this paragraph shall be allocated pro rata between the Term Loans and (unless
the applicable Assumption Agreement does not so require) the Other Term Loans
(if any) and applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal
due in respect of the Term Loans and (unless otherwise specified in the
applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement) the Other Term Loans (if any) as
directed by the Company.

(d) If on the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company for any reason the
sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures plus the total Competitive Loan
Exposures exceeds the total Revolving Commitments then in effect by more than
5%, the Borrowers shall, as soon as practicable but in no event later than three
Business Days after learning thereof, or, as soon as practicable but in no event
later than three Business Days after the request of the General Administrative
Agent, prepay Revolving Loans and cancel or reduce Letters of Credit, in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of the excess over the total
Revolving Commitments.

(e) If on the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company for any reason the
sum of the total Japanese Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the total Japanese
Commitments then in effect by more than 5%, the Borrowers shall, as soon as
practicable but in no event later than three Business Days after learning
thereof, or, as soon as practicable but in no event later than three Business
Days after the request of the General Administrative Agent, prepay Japanese
Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of the
excess over the Japanese Commitments.

(f) If on the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company for any reason the
sum of the total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the total
Multicurrency Commitments then in effect by more than 5%, the Borrowers shall,
as soon as practicable but in no event later than three Business Days after
learning thereof, or as soon as practicable but in no event later than three
Business Days after the request of the General Administrative Agent, prepay
Multicurrency Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
amount of the excess over the Multicurrency Commitments.

(g) The Company and the other Borrowers will use reasonable efforts to implement
and maintain internal controls to monitor the Borrowings and repayments, with
the object of preventing any request for a Borrowing that would cause conditions
specified in the first sentence of each of Sections 2.01(b), (c) and (d) not to
be satisfied.

(h) The Administrative Agents shall not be obligated to calculate the Dollar
Equivalent of any Alternate Currency but may do so from time to time in their
sole discretion.

SECTION 6.07. Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the General Administrative
Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a facility fee, which shall
accrue at the facility fee rate set forth in the Pricing Grid from time to time
on the daily amount of the Revolving Commitments of such Revolving Lender
(whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Effective Date
to but excluding the date on which such Revolving

 

50

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

Commitments terminate; provided that, if such Revolving Lender continues to have
any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Revolving Commitments terminate, then
such facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure from and including the date on which its
Revolving Commitments terminate to but excluding the date on which such
Revolving Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure. Accrued facility
fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and
December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments
terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date;
provided that any facility fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving
Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All facility fees shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agents, for their own
account, the administrative, auction and other fees separately agreed upon
between the Company and the Administrative Agents (collectively, the
“Administrative Fees”).

(c) The Company agrees to pay (i) to the General Administrative Agent for the
account of each U.S. Revolving Lender (including the Issuing Lender) a
participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which
shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin applicable to
interest on Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such
U.S. Revolving Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable
to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such U.S. Revolving Lender
ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to the Issuing Lender a fronting fee,
which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount
of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed
LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but
excluding the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the
Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.
Participation fees and fronting fees shall be payable on the last day of March,
June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to
occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on
the date on which the U.S. Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees
accruing after the date on which the U.S. Revolving Commitments terminate shall
be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Lender pursuant to
this paragraph shall be payable promptly after demand. All participation fees
and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall
be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).

(d) The Company agrees to pay to the General Administrative Agent for the
account of each Term Lender a ticking fee, which shall accrue at the ticking fee
rate set forth in the Pricing Grid from time to time on the daily amount of the
Term Loan Commitment (excluding any Incremental Term Loan Commitments) of such
Term Lender during the period from and including July 23, 2014, to but excluding
the earlier of the Term Loan Funding Date and the date on which such Term Loan
Commitments terminate. Accrued ticking fees shall be payable in arrears on the
last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on
which the Term Loan Commitments terminate, commencing on September 30, 2014. All
ticking fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).

 

51

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

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately
available funds, to the General Administrative Agent for distribution, in the
case of facility fees, ticking fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees
paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 6.08. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear
interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest (i) in
the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Loan or Eurocurrency Term Loan, at the
Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing
plus the Applicable Margin or (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Competitive
Loan, at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in effect for
such Borrowing plus (or minus, as applicable) the Competitive Loan Margin
applicable to such Loan.

(c) Each Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest at the Fixed Rate applicable to
such Loan.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan
or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when
due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue
amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per
annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.0% plus the
rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs
of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.0% plus the rate
applicable to ABR Term Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination
of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to
paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of
any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR
Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued
interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date
of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any
Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor,
accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such
conversion.

(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days,
except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at time
when the Alternate Base Rate is based on clause (a) of the first sentence of the
definition of Alternate Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of
365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the
actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Eurocurrency Rate shall be
determined by the General Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

 

52

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

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Japanese
Revolving Loans to be made on the Effective Date in Japanese Yen may bear
interest at the Yen Overnight Rate (computed on the basis of the actual number
of days elapsed (including the first day and excluding the last) in a 365 day
year) until such Japanese Revolving Loans are converted into one or more
Eurocurrency Borrowings with Interest Periods commencing on the second Business
Day after the Effective Date. Such Interest Periods shall be specified in an
Interest Election Request delivered not later than 12:00 p.m. noon, Local Time,
on the Effective Date. Interest accrued on such Japanese Revolving Loans prior
to the commencement of such Interest Period shall be payable on the second
Business Day after the Effective Date. The Japanese Borrower shall notify the
Japanese Administrative Agent and the General Administrative Agent of its
borrowing request (by telephone, with such telephonic borrowing request
confirmed promptly in writing substantially in the form of Exhibit A-5) for such
Japanese Revolving Loans not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the Effective
Date.

SECTION 6.09. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(a) the General Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination
shall be made in good faith and shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency
Rate for the relevant Currency for such Interest Period; or

(b) the General Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or, in
the case of a Eurocurrency Competitive Loan, the Lender that is required to make
such Loan) that the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or
maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such
Interest Period;

then the General Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company
(on its own behalf or on behalf of the applicable Borrower) and the Lenders by
telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the
General Administrative Agent notifies the Company (on its own behalf or on
behalf of the applicable Borrower) and the Lenders that the circumstances giving
rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that
requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing
as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, (ii) if any Borrowing Request
requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing, if denominated in Dollars,
shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and, if denominated in any Alternate Currency,
shall be made as a Borrowing bearing interest at an interest rate reasonably
determined by the General Administrative Agent to compensate the applicable
Lenders for such Borrowing in such Currency for the applicable period and
(iii) any request by the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other
Borrower) or any other Borrower for a Eurocurrency Competitive Borrowing shall
be ineffective; provided that (x) if the circumstances giving rise to such
notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the Company for
Eurocurrency Competitive Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected
thereby and (y) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one
Type of Borrowing, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

 

53

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

SECTION 6.10. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, any Lender (except for any such reserve requirement which is
reflected in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate);

(ii) impose on any Lender, Issuing Lender, the London interbank market, the
Tokyo interbank market or any other interbank market relevant to the funding of
Loans in Alternate Currencies any other condition affecting this Agreement or
Eurocurrency Loans or Fixed Rate Loans made by such Lender; or

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes,
(B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of the term
“Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal,
letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves,
other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender or other Recipient of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or
Fixed Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or
issuing or participating in Letters of Credit by an amount deemed by such Lender
or other Recipient to be material or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or other Recipient to
be material, then the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or other
Recipient such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
other Recipient for such additional costs actually incurred or reduction
actually suffered.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting
such Lender or Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such
Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or
liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such
Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement or the Loans or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans
held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to
a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or
Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s policies and the
policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to
capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing
Lender to be material, then from time to time the applicable Borrower will pay
to such Lender or Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or its holding
company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and setting forth
in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been
determined, shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender
or Issuing Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days
after receipt thereof.

 

54

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

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that
the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender
pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more
than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender notifies such
Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions
and of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to
above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a Lender shall not
be entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section in respect of any
Competitive Loan if the Change in Law that would otherwise entitle it to such
compensation shall have been publicly announced prior to submission of the
Competitive Bid pursuant to which such Loan was made. The obligations of the
Borrowers under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 6.11. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or
prepayment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan other
than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a
result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the
failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in
any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be
revoked under Section 6.06(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (d) the
failure to borrow any Competitive Loan after accepting the Competitive Bid to
make such Loan or (e) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result
of a request by any Borrower pursuant to Section 6.14, then, in any such event,
the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the out-of-pocket loss,
cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan,
such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount
determined by such Lender to be the present value of the excess, if any, of
(i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, refinanced
or not borrowed (assumed to be the Eurocurrency Rate applicable thereto) for the
period from the date of such payment, prepayment, refinancing or failure to
borrow or refinance to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in
the case of a failure to borrow or refinance the Interest Period for such Loan
which would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (ii) the amount of
interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by
such Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid or not borrowed or
refinanced for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. A certificate
of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled
to receive pursuant to this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail the
manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined shall be
delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Such Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. The obligations of the
Borrowers under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

55

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

SECTION 6.12. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments to the Lenders or the
Administrative Agents hereunder by a Borrower or on behalf of any Borrower shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or
future Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If under any applicable law
the relevant Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Tax from or in
respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Recipient, (i) the sum payable shall
be increased by the amount (an “Additional Amount”) necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to Additional
Amounts payable under this Section 6.12) such Recipient shall receive an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the relevant Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the relevant
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the relevant Borrower (or the Company, as applicable) shall pay
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any
Other Taxes.

(c) The relevant Borrower (or the Company, as applicable) shall indemnify each
Lender (or Participant) and each Administrative Agent for the full amount of
Indemnified Taxes paid by such Lender (or Participant) or such Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses)) arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or
legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability prepared by a Lender, or by an
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, and setting
forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount shall have been
determined, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for
all purposes. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date
such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand
therefor, which written demand shall be made within 60 days of the date such
Lender or Administrative Agent receives written demand for payment of such
Indemnified Taxes from the relevant Governmental Authority.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify each Administrative Agent, within 30
days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such
Lender (but only to the extent that no Borrower has already indemnified the
Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such
Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.04(g) relating to
the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes
attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by such
Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered
to any Lender by any Administrative Agent, absent manifest error, shall be
final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Each Lender hereby authorizes
each Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time
owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by such
Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due
to such Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

 

56

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

(e) If a Lender (or Participant) or an Administrative Agent receives a refund,
which in its reasonable judgment is in respect of any Indemnified Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by the relevant Borrower or with respect to which
the relevant Borrower has paid Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 6.12,
it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over such refund to
the relevant Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or
Additional Amounts paid, by the relevant Borrower under this Section 6.12 with
respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender (or Participant) or such Administrative
Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the
relevant Borrower, upon the request of such Lender (or Participant) or such
Administrative Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the relevant
Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender (or
Participant) or such Administrative Agent in the event such Lender (or
Participant) or such Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to
such Governmental Authority.

(f) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes by
the relevant Borrower to the relevant Governmental Authority, the relevant
Borrower will deliver to the Applicable Administrative Agent at its address
referred to in Section 13.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt
issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein,
the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 6.12 shall survive the
payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans made hereunder.

(h) Each Lender (or Participant) that is not a United States person as defined
in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the
Company and the Applicable Administrative Agent two copies of either (i) an IRS
Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI or any subsequent or substitute versions thereof
or successors thereto or (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming
exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of
the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a IRS Form W-8BEN or
W-8BEN-E, or any subsequent or substitute versions thereof or successors thereto
(and, if such Non-U.S. Lender delivers a IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E pursuant to
this clause (ii), a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a
bank for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a 10 percent
shareholder (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code) of the
Company and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to any Borrower
(within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code)), in each case properly
completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption
from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments by the
Company under this Agreement. Each Lender (or Participant) that is a U.S. person
as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Company and
the Applicable Administrative Agent two copies of IRS Form W-9, or any
subsequent or substitute versions thereof or successors thereto, certifying that
such Lender (or Participant) is entitled to a complete exemption from U.S.
Federal backup withholding tax on payments made pursuant to this Agreement. Such
forms shall be delivered

 

57

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

by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or,
in the case of a Participant, on or before the date such Participant becomes a
Participant hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Lender changes
its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New
Lending Office”), unless each of the applicable lending office prior to such
designation and the New Lending Office are located within the United States. In
addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or
invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 6.12(h), a Lender shall not be required to
deliver any form pursuant to this Section 6.12(h) that such Lender is not
legally able to deliver.

(i) A Lender (or Participant) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction
of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a
Borrower (other than the Company) is located, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement, shall
deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Applicable Administrative Agent),
at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by
such Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by
applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at
a reduced rate, provided that such Lender (or Participant) is legally entitled
to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s
reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not
materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender (or Participant).

(j) 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 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 applicable Borrower and the Applicable Administrative Agent
at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably
requested by such Borrower or such 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 such Borrower or such Administrative Agent as may be
necessary for such Borrower and such 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 paragraph (j), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

(k) The relevant Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender (or
Participant), or to pay any Additional Amounts to any Lender (or Participant),
in respect of any withholding Tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above to the
extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to such
withholding tax was in effect and would apply to amounts payable to such Lender
on the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a
Participant, on the date such Participant became a Participant hereunder) or,
with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Lender
designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan or, with respect to
payments by a Borrower pursuant to a Competitive Loan, as of the date the
Company accepts a Competitive Bid pursuant to Section 3.01(d); provided,
however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to any Lender (or Participant) if
the assignment, participation, transfer or designation of a New Lending Office
was made at the

 

58

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

request of the relevant Borrower; and provided further, however, that this
clause (i) shall not apply (x) to the extent the indemnity payment or Additional
Amounts any Lender (or Participant) would be entitled to receive (without regard
to this clause (i)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or Additional Amounts
that the Lender (or Participant) making the assignment, participation, transfer
or designation of such New Lending Office would have been entitled to receive in
the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation or (y) to
the extent the obligation to withhold such amounts is an obligation of, or an
obligation in respect of payments made by, a Borrowing Subsidiary that becomes a
Borrowing Subsidiary after the Effective Date or any Affiliate of the Company
other than the relevant Borrower, or (ii) the obligation to pay such Additional
Amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender (or Participant)
to comply with the provisions of paragraph (h), (i) or (j) of this Section 6.12.

(l) Any Lender (or Participant) claiming any indemnity payment or Additional
Amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6.12 shall use reasonable efforts
(consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or
document reasonably requested in writing by the relevant Borrower or to change
the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing
or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity
payment or Additional Amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the
sole determination of such Lender (or Participant), be otherwise disadvantageous
to such Lender (or Participant).

(m) Nothing contained in this Section 6.12 shall require any Lender (or
Participant) or any Administrative Agent to make available any of its Tax
returns (or any other information that it deems to be confidential or
proprietary).

(n) For the purposes of this Section 6.12, the term “Lender” shall include any
Issuing Lender.

SECTION 6.13. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.
(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder
(whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 6.10,
6.11 or 6.12, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m., Local Time or, in the case of
any Revolving Loan in Japanese Yen under the Japanese Commitment, by 12:00 noon
Local Time at the place of payment, on the date when due, in immediately
available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such
time on any date may, in the discretion of the Applicable Administrative Agent,
be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes
of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the
Applicable Administrative Agent at its offices referred to in Section 13.01, or
such other location as such Administrative Agent shall designate from time to
time, except that payments pursuant to Sections 6.10, 6.11 or 6.12 and 13.05
shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Applicable
Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the
account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following
receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a
Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest
thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments
hereunder shall be made in the Currency in which the applicable payment
obligation is due.

 

59

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

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Applicable Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest
and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards
payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to
such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal (including
reimbursement of LC Disbursements) then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such
parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
its Revolving Loans or Term Loans or in respect of its interest in any Letters
of Credit resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of
the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans and accrued interest
thereon or its interest in Letters of Credit than the proportion received by any
other Lender participating in such Loan or Letters of Credit, then the Lender
receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and Letters of Credit of such
other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by such Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount
of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans, Term
Loans and Letters of Credit; provided that (i) if any such participations are
purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made
by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or
participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof
(as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower
consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the
foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Applicable
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower
will not make such payment, the Applicable Administrative Agent may assume that
such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In
such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the
Applicable Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Applicable Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lenders with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable
Administrative Agent, (i) if the relevant amount is denominated in Dollars, at
the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation and (ii) if the relevant amount is denominated in any
other Currency, at the interest rate reasonably determined by the Applicable
Administrative Agent to reflect the cost of funds for the amount paid by such
Administrative Agent on behalf of such Borrower.

 

60

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

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it
pursuant to Section 6.01(b), 6.12(d) or 6.12(e), then the Applicable
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by such Administrative
Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under
such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 6.14. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 6.10, or if any Borrower is required to pay
any Additional Amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 6.12, then such Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to file any certificate or document requested by the
applicable Borrower (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions), to
designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder
or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such filing,
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant
to Section 6.10 or 6.12, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 6.10, (ii) any
Borrower is required to pay any Additional Amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 6.12,
(iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender becomes a
Declining Lender, (v) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or
other modification of this Agreement requested by the Company that requires the
consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and
such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required
Lenders or (vi) any Lender provides notice of the type described in the proviso
to the first sentence of Section 2.04, then, in each case, the Company may, upon
notice to such Lender and the applicable Administrative Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject
to the restrictions contained in Section 13.04), all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement (other than any outstanding Competitive Loans
held by it and any and all rights and interests related thereto) to an Eligible
Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and, in the case of clause
(v) above, provides its consent to such requested amendment, waiver, or other
modification of this Agreement); provided that (1) the Company shall have
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agents which consent
shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (2) such Lender shall have
received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans
(other than Competitive Loans), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all
other amounts payable to it hereunder (including any amounts under
Section 6.11), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal
and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all
other amounts), (3) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim
for compensation under Section 6.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 6.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments and (4) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender
being a Declining Lender, the assignee shall have agreed to the applicable
Revolving Maturity Date Extension Request.

 

61

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

SECTION 6.15. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the
following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting
Lender:

(a) facility fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving
Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 6.07(a), and ticking
fees shall cease to accrue on the Term Loan Commitments of such Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 6.07(d);

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall
not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other
requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other
Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other
modification pursuant to Section 13.07); provided that any amendment, waiver or
other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected
thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 13.07, require the
consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof;

(c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time any U.S. Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender (such Defaulting Lender, a “U.S. Defaulting
Lender”), then:

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure (other than any portion thereof
with respect to which such U.S. Defaulting Lender shall have funded its
participation as contemplated by Section 5.01(c)) and LC Exposure (other than
any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect
to which such U.S. Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as
contemplated by Sections 4.01(e) and 4.01(f)) of such U.S. Defaulting Lender
shall be reallocated among the U.S. non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with
their respective U.S. Revolving Commitment Percentages but only to the extent
that the sum of all U.S. non-Defaulting Lenders’ U.S. Revolving Credit Exposures
plus such U.S. Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not
exceed the sum of all U.S. non-Defaulting Lenders’ U.S. Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the Company shall within one Business Day following
notice by the General Administrative Agent (A) first, prepay the portion of such
U.S. Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure that has not been reallocated and
(B) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender the portion
of such U.S. Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that has not been reallocated for
so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Company cash collateralizes any portion of such U.S. Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be
required to pay participation fees to such U.S. Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 6.07(c) with respect to such portion of such U.S. Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure for so long as such U.S. Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash
collateralized;

 

62

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

(iv) if any portion of the LC Exposure of such U.S. Defaulting Lender is
reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders
pursuant to Sections 6.07(a) and 6.07(c) shall be adjusted to give effect to
such reallocation; and

(v) if all or any portion of such U.S. Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is
neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or
(ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing
Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all participation fees payable under
Section 6.07(c) with respect to such U.S. Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall
be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such LC Exposure
is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a U.S. Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender
shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall
not be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless,
in each case, it is satisfied that the related exposure and the U.S. Defaulting
Lender’s then outstanding Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure, as applicable, will
be fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the U.S. non-Defaulting Lenders
and/or cash collateral provided by the Borrower in accordance with
Section 6.16(c), and participating interests in any such funded Swingline Loan
or in any such issued, amended, renewed or extended Letter of Credit will be
allocated among the U.S. non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with
Section 6.15(c)(i) (and such U.S. Defaulting Lender shall not participate
therein).

In the event that (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Lender Parent shall
occur following the date hereof and for so long as such Bankruptcy Event shall
continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender has a good faith
belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or
more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the
Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the
Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter
of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender, as applicable,
shall have entered into arrangements with the Company or the applicable Lender,
satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, to
defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the General Administrative Agent, the Company, the Swingline
Lender and the Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has
adequately remedied all matters that caused the applicable Lender to be a
Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders
shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s U.S. Revolving
Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the U.S.
Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans of the other Lenders as the General
Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender
to hold such Loans in accordance with its U.S. Revolving Commitment Percentage.

SECTION 6.16. Amortization of Term Loans. (a) The Company shall repay on the
last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year (beginning
with the first such date occurring at least three months after the Term Loan
Funding Date) (each, a “Term Loan Repayment Date”), through and including the
Term Loan Maturity Date, an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to
the product of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding on
the Term Loan Funding Date and (y) the percentage set forth below for each
applicable Term Loan Repayment Date, with the balance of the Term Loans due in
full on the Term Loan Maturity Date:

 

Term Loan Repayment Date

   Percentage  

For each of the first 12 Term Loan Repayment Dates

     2.5 % 

For each of the next four Term Loan Repayment Dates

     3.75 % 

For each Term Loan Repayment Date thereafter

     13.75 % 

 

63

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

(b) To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable
on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(c) Any prepayment of a Term Loan shall be applied to reduce the subsequent
scheduled repayments of the Term Loans to be made pursuant to this Section as
directed by the Company.

(d) Repayments of Term Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the
amount repaid.

ARTICLE VII

Representations and Warranties

The Company represents and warrants to each of the Lenders and each of the
Administrative Agents that:

SECTION 7.01. Organization; Powers. Each Borrower (a) is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (b) has all requisite corporate power and authority to own its
property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted and (c) is qualified to do business in every
jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure so
to qualify would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Borrower has the
corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement (or, in the
case of the Borrowing Subsidiaries, the Borrowing Subsidiary Agreements), to
perform its obligations under this Agreement and to borrow hereunder.

SECTION 7.02. Authorization. The Transactions (a) are within each Borrower’s
corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action
and (b) do not (i) violate (A) any provision of any law, statute, rule or
regulation (including, without limitation, the Margin Regulations), (B) any
provision of the certificate of incorporation or other constitutive documents or
by-laws of the Company or any Borrower, (C) any order of any Governmental
Authority or (D) any provision of any indenture, agreement or other instrument
to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of its
property is or may be bound, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or
constitute (alone or with notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any
such indenture, agreement or other instrument or (iii) result in the creation or
imposition of any lien upon any property or assets of the Company or any
Subsidiary other than, in the case of clauses (i)(A), (i)(C), (i)(D), (ii) and
(iii), any such violations, conflicts, breaches, defaults or liens that,
individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

64

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

SECTION 7.03. Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by each of the Borrowers and constitutes, and each other Loan Document
constitutes or, when executed and delivered, will constitute, a legal, valid and
binding obligation of each Borrower hereto or thereto, enforceable in accordance
with its terms (subject, as to enforceability, to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of
whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity)).

SECTION 7.04. Governmental Approvals. No action, consent or approval of,
registration or filing with or other action by any Governmental Authority is
required in connection with the Transactions except such as have, or on or prior
to the Effective Date will have, been obtained or made and are in full force and
effect or except for the failure of which to obtain could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 7.05. Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Effect. (a) The Company
has heretofore furnished to the Administrative Agents and the Lenders its
consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders’ equity and
cash flows as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, reported on by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants. Such financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and
results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP.

(b) The Company has heretofore delivered to the Administrative Agents and the
Lenders its unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and statements of
income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as of and for the 12-month period
ended March 31, 2014, prepared giving effect to the Transactions and the
Acquisition as if they had occurred, with respect to such balance sheet, on such
date and, with respect to such other financial statements, on the first day of
the 12-month period ending on such date. Such pro forma financial statements
have been prepared in good faith by the Company, based on assumptions believed
by the Company on the date thereof to be reasonable, accurately reflect, in all
material respects, all adjustments required to be made to give effect to the
Transactions and the Acquisition and present fairly, in all material respects,
on a pro forma basis the estimated consolidated financial position of the
Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and for such period,
assuming that the Transactions and the Acquisition had actually occurred at such
date or at the beginning of such period, as the case may be.

(c) Since December 31, 2013, there has been no material adverse effect on the
business, operations, properties or financial condition of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

SECTION 7.06. Litigation, Compliance with Laws. (a) There are no actions,
proceedings or investigations filed or (to the knowledge of the Company)
threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary in any court or before any
Governmental Authority or arbitration board or tribunal which question the
validity or legality of this Agreement, the Transactions or

 

65

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

any action taken or to be taken pursuant to this Agreement and no order or
judgment has been issued or entered restraining or enjoining the Company from
the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement nor is there any other
action, proceeding or investigation filed or (to the knowledge of the Company)
threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary in any court or before any
Governmental Authority or arbitration board or tribunal as to which there is a
reasonable likelihood of an adverse determination and that, if adversely
determined, would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation of any law, rule or
regulation, or in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction or
decree of any Governmental Authority, where such violation or default would be
reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 7.07. Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loan
will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately,
incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose which entails a violation of, or
which is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Margin Regulations.

SECTION 7.08. Taxes. The Company and the Subsidiaries have filed or caused to be
filed all Federal and material state, local and foreign Tax returns which are
required to be filed by them, and have paid or caused to be paid all material
Taxes required to have been paid by them, other than (i) any Taxes or
assessments the validity of which is being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings, and with respect to which appropriate accounting
reserves have, to the extent required by GAAP, been set aside or (ii) where such
failure to file or pay could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

SECTION 7.09. Employee Benefit Plans. The present aggregate value of accumulated
benefit obligations of each Plan and each foreign employee pension benefit plan
required to be funded (based on those assumptions used for disclosure of such
obligations in corporate financial statements in accordance with GAAP) did not,
as of the most recent statements available, exceed the aggregate value of the
assets for each plan by an amount in the aggregate for all such plans that would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not
individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, (a) no ERISA Termination Event has occurred and (b) each Plan
has been established and administered in accordance with its terms and in
compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other
applicable laws, rules and regulations.

SECTION 7.10. Environmental and Safety Matters. Other than exceptions to any of
the following that would not in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect:
(a) the Company and the Subsidiaries comply and have complied with all
applicable Environmental and Safety Laws; (b) there are and have been no
Hazardous Substances at any property owned, leased or operated by the Company
now or in the past, or at any other location, that could reasonably be expected
to result in liability of the Company or any Subsidiary under any Environmental
and Safety Law or result in costs to any of them arising out of any
Environmental and Safety Law; (c) there are no past, present, or, to the
knowledge of the Company and the Subsidiaries, anticipated future events,
conditions, circumstances, practices, plans, or legal requirements that could
reasonably be expected to prevent the Company or any of the

 

66

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

Subsidiaries from, or increase the costs to the Company or any of the

Agent and at the U.S. Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear
interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in
such account. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully
drawn upon, all reimbursement obligations shall have been satisfied and all
other obligations of the U.S. Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash
collateral account shall be returned to the U.S. Borrower (or such other Person
as may be lawfully entitled thereto).

designate any of its branches or Affiliates as the Person to receive any or all
notices (including Borrowing Requests and Interest Election Requests) to be
delivered to such Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agents shall be under no
duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by them pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement unless they shall be requested in writing to do
so by the Required Lenders.

84

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

With respect to the Loans made by, or Letters of Credit issued by or
participated in by, them hereunder, each Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity and not as Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers
as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an
Administrative Agent, and such Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business
with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not
an Administrative Agent.

Each Lender agrees (i) to reimburse the Administrative Agents, on demand, in the
amount of its a pro rata share of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the
Lenders by the Administrative Agents, including counsel fees and compensation of
agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, which
shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrowers and (ii) to indemnify and hold
harmless the Administrative Agents and any of their respective directors,
officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share,
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by or asserted against
either of them in its capacity as an Administrative Agent in any way relating to
or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by either of
them under this Agreement to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed
by the Borrowers; provided that no Lender shall be liable to any Administrative
Agent for any portion of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such
Administrative Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents. For
purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its
share of the sum of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, outstanding Term
Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

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

SECTION 13.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties made by any Borrower herein and in the certificates or other
instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this
Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall
survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans regardless of any investigation
made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and
effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any
fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid
or the Commitments have not been terminated.

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

SECTION 13.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it
shall have been executed by the Company, the Luxembourg Borrower, the Japanese
Borrower and the Administrative Agents and when the Administrative Agents shall
have received copies hereof (by electronic “pdf” or otherwise) which, when taken
together, bear the signatures of each Lender, and thereafter shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the Lenders and their
respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower shall have the right
to assign any rights hereunder or any interest herein, except in accordance with
Section 10.01, without the prior consent of all the Lenders.

SECTION 13.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the
parties is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors
and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on
behalf of any party that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to
the benefit of its successors and assigns (including any Affiliate of the
Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit).

(b) Each Lender other than any Conduit Lender may assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the
time owing to it); provided, however, that, except in the case of an assignment
of a Revolving Commitment or a Term Loan to another Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund, (i) each of the Company (so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and the General Administrative
Agent must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent in
each case shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (ii) the
amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such
assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect
to such assignment is delivered to the General Administrative Agent) shall not
be less than $5,000,000 unless it shall be the entire amount of such Lender’s
Commitments or Loans, as applicable, or unless such assignment is an assignment
by a Declining Lender to an assignee which is or will become a Consenting
Lender, and (iii) an assignment by a Lender of any of its U.S. Revolving
Commitments shall include an assignment by such Lender of its proportionate
interest in LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure; provided further that the
Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall
object thereto by written notice to the General Administrative Agent within
fifteen Business Days after having received notice thereof. The parties to each
assignment shall execute and deliver to the General Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Acceptance, and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;
provided, however, that such processing and recordation fee shall not be payable
in the case of assignments made by or to Arrangers or their Affiliates. Upon
acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 13.04, from
and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which
effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof,
(x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (y) the assigning Lender
thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender
shall cease to be a party hereto (but shall (i) continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 6.10, 6.11, 6.12 and 13.05, as well as to any fees accrued
for its account hereunder and not yet paid and (ii) continue to be subject to
the confidentiality

 

88

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

provisions hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender assigning its
rights and obligations under this Agreement may retain any Competitive Loans
made by it outstanding at such time, and in such case shall retain its rights
hereunder in respect of any Loans so retained until such Loans have been repaid
in full in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
Conduit Lender may assign at any time to its designating Lender hereunder
without the consent of the Company or the General Administrative Agent any or
all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder and pursuant to its designation
agreement and without regard to the limitations set forth in the first sentence
of this Section 13.04(b).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning
Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and
agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such
assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the
interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim; (ii) except
as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or
the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or
value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
hereto or the financial condition of the Borrowers or the performance or
observance by the Borrowers of any obligations under this Agreement or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents
and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee and is legally authorized to enter
into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has
received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent
financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 9.03 and such other documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will
independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent, such assigning
Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints
and authorizes the General Administrative Agent, the Japanese Administrative
Agent and the European Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its
behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the
Administrative Agents by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will
perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of
this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) Each of the Administrative Agents shall maintain at its office referred to
in Section 13.01 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitments of, and the principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and
LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to
time and any promissory notes evidencing such Loans (the “Register”). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error and
the Company, the other Borrowers, the Administrative Agents and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms
hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. No assignment
or transfer of any Loan (or portion thereof) or any Note evidencing such Loan
shall be effected unless and until it has been recorded in the Register as
provided in this subsection 13.04(d). Notwithstanding any other provision of

 

89

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

this Agreement, any assignment or transfer of all or part of a promissory note
shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of
assignment or transfer of the promissory note (and each promissory note shall
expressly so provide), accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance,
and thereupon one or more new promissory notes in the same aggregate principal
amount shall be issued to the designated assignee and the old promissory notes
shall be returned by the applicable Administrative Agent to the Company marked
“cancelled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by each party
hereto, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by
an assigning Lender and an assignee together with an Administrative
Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall
already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to
in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and, if required, the written consent of
the Company to such assignment, the relevant Administrative Agent shall
(i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information
contained therein in the Register.

(f) Each Lender other than any Conduit Lender may sell participations to one or
more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto or thereto
for the performance of such obligations, (iii) each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections
6.10, 6.11 and 6.12 to the same extent as if it was the selling Lender (subject
to the requirements therein, including the requirements under Sections 6.12(h),
6.12(i) and 6.12(j) (it being understood that the documentation required under
such Sections shall be delivered to the participating Lender) and limited to the
amount that could have been claimed by the selling Lender had it continued to
hold the interest of such participating bank or other entity, 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, and
it being further agreed that the participating Lender will not be permitted to
make claims against the Borrowers under Section 6.10(b) for costs or reductions
resulting from the sale of a participation), except that all claims made
pursuant to such Sections shall be made through such participating Lender and
(iv) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agents and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such participating Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and
such participating Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations
of the Borrowers relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than
amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder or
thereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is
payable on the Loans, extending the final scheduled maturity of the Loans or any
date scheduled for the payment of interest on the Loans or extending the
Commitments or releasing the Company from its Guarantee obligations hereunder).

(g) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose
as an agent of the Borrowers, 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

 

90

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

Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the
“Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to
disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity
of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in
any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that
such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of
Credit 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, 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. For the avoidance of doubt, no Administrative Agent (in its
capacity as an Administrative Agent) shall have any responsibility for
maintaining a Participant Register.

(h) Any Lender or Participant may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this
Section 13.04, disclose to the assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or
Participant any information relating to the Company or the other Borrowers
furnished to such Lender; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, each such
assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or Participant shall be subject to
the confidentiality provisions contained herein.

(i) The Borrowers shall not assign or delegate any rights and duties hereunder,
except in accordance with Section 10.01, without the prior written consent of
all Lenders.

(j) Any Lender may at any time pledge or otherwise assign all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central
banking authority; provided that no such pledge shall release any Lender from
its obligations hereunder. In order to facilitate such an assignment to a
Federal Reserve Bank, the relevant Borrower shall, at the request of the
assigning Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning Lender a promissory
note or notes evidencing the Loans made by the assigning Lender hereunder.

(k) Each party hereto hereby confirms that it will not institute against a
Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day
after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by
such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit
Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party
hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to
institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of
forbearance.

SECTION 13.05. Expenses, Indemnity. (a) The Company agrees to pay all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by (i) the Administrative Agents and the
Arrangers in connection with entering into this Agreement or in connection with
any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof
(including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of a single
counsel), (ii) the Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment
thereunder or (iii) the Administrative Agents, the Arrangers, the Issuing Lender
or any

 

91

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

Lender in connection with the enforcement of their rights in connection with
this Agreement and any other Loan Document or in connection with the Loans made
or Letters of Credit issued hereunder or thereunder, including the fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agents, the Arrangers and the
Issuing Lender and, in the case of enforcement, each Lender.

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify each Administrative Agent, the Arrangers,
the Issuing Lender, each Lender, each of their Affiliates and the directors,
officers, employees and agents of the foregoing (each such Person being called
an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable
counsel fees, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of
(i) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(including the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein),
(ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom or
(iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other
theory and whether initiated against or by any party to this Agreement, any
Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any third party (and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto); provided that (x) such indemnity shall not,
as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses result from the gross negligence or
wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee and (y) such indemnity shall not apply to
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses that result from
disputes solely between Lenders.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert,
or permit any of their respective Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and
each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising
from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems
(including the Internet) or (ii) 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 or
thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds thereof.

(d) The provisions of this Section 13.05 shall remain operative and in full
force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of
the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this
Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative
Agents, the Syndication Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this
Section 13.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

SECTION 13.06. Applicable Law. This Agreement 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 Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
law of the State of New York.

SECTION 13.07. Waivers, Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of any Administrative
Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
power, or any

 

92

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

abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power. Subject to Section 8.05, the rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agents and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver
of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom shall
in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b)
below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Company
or any other Borrower in any case shall entitle such party to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or
modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into
by the Borrowers, the General Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders;
provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal
amount of, or extend the maturity of, any scheduled principal payment date or
date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or reimbursement obligation
with respect to an LC Disbursement (other than any extension of the Revolving
Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.05), or waive or excuse any such payment or
any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, or amend or
modify Section 13.16, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the availability of the Commitments or
decrease or extend the date for payment of the facility fees, ticking fees or
fees in respect of Letters of Credit of any Lender (with the exception of
fronting fees payable to the Issuing Lender, which shall require the consent of
the Issuing Lender) without the prior written consent of such Lender,
(iii) amend or modify the provisions of Section 6.13 or Section 13.04(i), the
provisions of this Section 13.07 or the definition of the “Required Lenders”, or
release the Company from its obligations under Section 13.16 hereof, without the
prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) change the provisions of any Loan
Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect
of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the
rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior written
consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and
unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class or (v) change the
requirement that disbursements made by any Lender be made ratably with respect
to its applicable Commitment without the prior written consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby; provided further, however, that no such agreement
shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of (w) any
Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of such
Administrative Agent, (x) any Issuing Lender without the prior written consent
of such Issuing Lender, (y) the Swingline Lender without the prior written
consent of the Swingline Lender or (z) an Arranger under Section 13.04(b)
without the prior written consent of such Arranger. Each Lender shall be bound
by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 13.07 and
any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 13.07 shall bind any assignee
of its rights and interests hereunder. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an
agreement in writing entered into by the Company and the General Administrative
Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long
as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days
prior written notice thereof and the General Administrative Agent shall not have
received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a
written notice from (A) the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders
object to such amendment or (B) if affected by such amendment, the Swingline
Lender or the Issuing Lender stating that it objects to such amendment.

 

93

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

SECTION 13.08. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and
any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agents or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute
the entire contract among the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any
previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
is superseded by this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto any
rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this
Agreement.

SECTION 13.09. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic
effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 13.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when
taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as
provided in Section 13.03.

SECTION 13.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents
used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 13.12. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to
time, 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 and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the
credit or obligations of each Borrower now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall
have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be
unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company and the General
Administrative Agent after such setoff and application made by such Lender, but
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and
application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 13.12 are in addition
to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of
setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 13.13. Jurisdiction: Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Borrower
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action,
litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity,
whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agents,
any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing in
any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of
the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States
District Court of the Southern

 

94

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

District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the
parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in
respect of any action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in
such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
in such Federal court. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any
such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in
other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by
law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative
Agents, any Lender or any Issuing Lender may otherwise have to bring any action,
litigation or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
against any Borrower or any of its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to
the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section. Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in
the manner provided for notices in Section 13.01. Nothing in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to
serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(d) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for the
service of process in any action referred to in Section 13.13(a) and agrees that
service of process in any such proceeding may be made by mailing or delivering a
copy thereof to it care of the Company at its address for notice set forth in
Section 13.01.

SECTION 13.14. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN
INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 13.14.

SECTION 13.15. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining
judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one
currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent
that it may effectively do so, that

 

95

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

the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be
purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the
day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party
hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable
Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment
Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due
hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on
the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum
adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in
accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase
the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the
Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the
Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the
Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers
contained in this Section 13.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 13.16. Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to make Loans to the
other Borrowers, the Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees
as a primary obligor the Borrower Obligations of all the Borrowers. The Company
further agrees that such Borrower Obligations may be extended and renewed, in
whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will
remain bound upon its agreement hereunder notwithstanding any extension or
renewal of any Borrower Obligation.

The Company waives promptness, diligence, presentment to, demand of payment from
and protest to the Borrowers of any Borrower Obligations, and also waives notice
of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The
obligations of the Company hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and not
be affected by, and the Company waives any defense it may now or hereafter have
arising out of (a) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agents to
assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any
Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents or otherwise; (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of
any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents or
any other agreement; (c) the failure of any Lender to exercise any right or
remedy against any Borrower; (d) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Loan
Document; (e) the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement or any
Loan or Letter of Credit or any document or instrument relating thereto or given
in connection therewith; or (f) any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a defense available to or discharge of a Borrower or a guarantor
(other than indefeasible payment).

The Company further agrees that its agreements hereunder constitute a promise of
payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any
resort be had by any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on
the books of any Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other Person.

 

96

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

The obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction,
limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject
to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by
reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Borrower
Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agents or any Lender to
assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement or
under any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or
modification in respect of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, wilful
or otherwise, in the performance of the Borrower Obligations, or by any other
act or omission which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk
of the Company or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Company as a matter of
law or equity.

The Company further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any
part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Borrower Obligation is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agents or any
Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which
the Administrative Agents or any Lender may have at law or in equity against the
Company by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrower to pay any Borrower
Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Company hereby
promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the General
Administrative Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash the amount of
such unpaid Borrower Obligation. In the event that, by reason of the bankruptcy
of any Borrower (i) acceleration of Loans made to such Borrower is prevented and
(ii) the Company shall not have prepaid the outstanding Loans and other amounts
due hereunder owed by such Borrower, the Company will forthwith purchase such
Loans and other amounts at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus
accrued interest thereon and any other amounts due hereunder with respect
thereto. The Company further agrees that if payment in respect of any Borrower
Obligation shall be due in a currency other than Dollars and/or at a place of
payment other than New York and if, by reason of any Change in Law, disruption
of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or similar
event, payment of such Borrower Obligations in such currency or such place of
payment shall be impossible or, in the judgment of any applicable Lender, not
consistent with the protection of its rights or interests, then, at the election
of any applicable Lender, the Company shall make payment of such Borrower
Obligation in Dollars (based upon the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on the
date of payment) and/or in New York, and shall indemnify such Lender against any
losses or expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative
payment.

Following indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Borrower Obligations and
the termination of the Commitments hereunder, upon payment by the Company of any
Borrower Obligations of another Borrower, each Lender shall, in a reasonable
manner, assign the amount of such Borrower Obligations owed to it and paid by
the Company pursuant to this guarantee to the Company, or make such disposition
thereof as the Company shall direct (all without recourse to any Lender and
without any representation or warranty by any Lender except with respect to the
amount of the Borrower Obligations so assigned).

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

Upon payment by the Company of any sums as provided above, all rights of the
Company against any Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of
subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in
right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all the Borrower
Obligations to the Lenders and termination of the Commitments.

SECTION 13.17. CAM Exchange. (a) On the CAM Exchange Date, to the extent not
prohibited by applicable law, all Loans outstanding in any currency other than
Dollars shall be converted to Dollars (calculated on the basis of the relevant
Exchange Rates as of the Business Day immediately preceding the CAM Exchange
Date) and shall be ABR Loans, and (ii) the Lenders shall automatically and
without further act be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Classes (other
than Competitive Loans) such that, in lieu of the interests of each Lender in
each Class in which it shall participate as of such date (including such
Lender’s interest in the Designated Obligations of each Borrower in respect of
each such Class), such Lender shall hold an interest in every one of the Classes
(including the Designated Obligations of each Borrower in respect of each such
Class but excluding Competitive Loans and participations in undrawn Letters of
Credit), whether or not such Lender shall previously have participated therein,
equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage thereof. Each Lender, the Company and each
other Borrower hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender
hereby agrees that the CAM Exchange shall be binding upon its successors and
assigns and any Person that acquires a participation in its interests in any
Class. The Company and each other Borrower and each Lender agrees from time to
time to execute and deliver to the General Administrative Agent all such
promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the General
Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the
respective interests and obligations of the Lenders after giving effect to the
CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes
originally received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the General
Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes so executed and
delivered; provided that the failure of the Company or any other Borrower to
execute or deliver or of any Lender to accept any such promissory note,
instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM
Exchange. In the event that on the CAM Exchange Date any Swingline Loan shall be
outstanding (other than any Swingline Loan in respect of which U.S. Revolving
Lenders have funded their purchase of participations pursuant to Section 5.01),
then each U.S. Revolving Lender (determined immediately prior to the CAM
Exchange) shall, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.01, promptly
purchase from the Swingline Lender a participation in such Swingline Loan in the
amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan
(determined immediately prior to the CAM Exchange).

(b) As a result of the CAM Exchange, on and after the CAM Exchange Date,
(i) each payment received by an Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan
Document in respect of the Designated Obligations shall be distributed to the
Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages (to be
redetermined as of each such date of payment or distribution to the extent
required by Section 13.18), it being understood that nothing herein shall be
construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all of an
assigning Lender’s

 

98

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

rights and obligations in respect of a single Class of Commitments, and
(ii) Sections 6.12(h), 6.12(i), 6.12(j) and 6.12(k) shall not apply with respect
to any Taxes required to be withheld or deducted by a Borrower from or in
respect of payments hereunder to any Lender or Administrative Agent that exceed
the Taxes such Borrower would have otherwise been required to withhold or deduct
from or in respect of payments to such Lender or Administrative Agent had such
CAM Exchange not occurred; provided, however, that this Section 13.17(b)(ii)
shall not limit the obligations set forth in Section 6.12(l) hereof.

SECTION 13.18. Letters of Credit. In the event that, on or after the CAM
Exchange Date, the aggregate amount of the Designated Obligations shall change
as a result of the making of an LC Disbursement by the Issuing Lender that is
not reimbursed by a Borrower, then (a) each U.S. Revolving Lender (determined
without giving effect to the CAM Exchange) shall, in accordance with
Section 4.01(d), promptly purchase from the Issuing Lender a participation in
such LC Disbursement in the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of
such LC Disbursement (without giving effect to the CAM Exchange) and (b) the
General Administrative Agent shall redetermine the CAM Percentages after giving
effect to such LC Disbursement and the purchase of participations therein by the
U.S. Revolving Lenders. Each such redetermination shall be binding on each of
the Lenders and their successors and assigns and shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.

SECTION 13.19. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agents and the
Lenders expressly agrees, for the benefit of the Company and the Subsidiaries,
to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information (as defined
below), except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its
Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants,
legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (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) subject to an express agreement for the benefit of the Company and the
Subsidiaries containing provisions substantially the same as those of this
Section, to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or to any
direct or indirect counterparty to a Hedge Agreement or to any credit insurance
provider relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries and their obligations,
(g) with the consent of the Company and the Subsidiaries, (h) to the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any
nationally recognized ratings agency, or (i) to the extent such Confidential
Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Section or (ii) becomes available to any Administrative Agent or any Lender
on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company and the
Subsidiaries. For the purposes of this Section, “Confidential Information” shall
mean all information, including material nonpublic information within the
meaning of Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC (“Regulation FD”), received from
the Company and the Subsidiaries relating to such entities or their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to any
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by such entities; provided that, such information is clearly
identified at the time of delivery as

 

99

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

confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of
Confidential Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have
complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same
degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person customarily accords to its own confidential information; provided,
however, that with respect to disclosures pursuant to clause (b) (other than any
such disclosure in connection with any routine compliance examination or
examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such regulatory
authority) and clause (c) of this Section, unless prohibited by law or
applicable court order, each Lender and each Administrative Agent shall attempt
to notify the Company and the Subsidiaries of any request by any governmental
agency or representative thereof or other Person for disclosure of Confidential
Information after receipt of such request, and if reasonable, practicable and
permissible, before disclosure of such Confidential Information. It is
understood and agreed that the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective
Affiliates may rely upon this Section 13.19 for any purpose, including without
limitation to comply with Regulation FD. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, any Party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative or other
agent of such Party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of
any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax
analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax
structure. The preceding sentence is intended to cause the transactions
contemplated hereby not to be treated as having been offered under conditions of
confidentiality for purposes of Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) and 301.6111-2(a)(2)(ii)
(or any successor provisions) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under the
Code, and shall be construed in a manner consistent with such purpose.

SECTION 13.20. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the General
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby
notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act,
it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each of
the Borrowers, which information includes the names and addresses of each of the
Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender or the General
Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each of the Borrowers in
accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, and each Borrower agrees to provide such
information from time to time to such Lender and the General Administrative
Agent, as applicable.

SECTION 13.21. No Fiduciary Relationship. Each Borrower, on behalf of itself and
its Affiliates, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions
contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the
Borrowers and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties and
their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does
not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the
Credit Parties or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have
arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. The Credit
Parties and their Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the
accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests
that differ from those of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and none of the
Credit Parties or their Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such
interests to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, each of the Borrowers hereby waives and releases any claims
that it or any of its Affiliates may have against the Credit Parties and their
Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary
duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

The ratings to be utilized for purposes of this Annex I are the public corporate
rating and public corporate family rating of the Company assigned by the Rating
Agencies (the “Ratings”). The Rating in effect at any date is that in effect at
the close of business on such date. The Company hereby agrees that at all times
it shall maintain a Rating from either S&P or Moody’s. If a Rating is supplied
by only one of S&P and Moody’s, then that single Rating shall be determinative.
In the case of split Ratings from S&P and Moody’s, the Rating to be used to
determine which pricing category applies is the higher of the two Ratings;
provided that (x) if the split is more than one full category, one Rating above
the lower Rating shall be used (e.g. BBB+/Baa3 results in Category 5 and A-/Baa3
in Category 5) and (y) a Rating from S&P or Moody’s of BB+ or Ba1 or lower
results in Category 7.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Annex I have the
meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement to which this Annex I is
attached.

For purposes of the Credit Agreement, the following terms have the meanings
specified below:

“Investment Grade Standing” shall exist at any time when the actual Rating from
S&P is at or above BBB- (or if S&P shall change its system, the new Rating which
most closely corresponds to BBB-) and the actual Rating from Moody’s is at or
above Baa3 (or if Moody’s shall change its system, the new Rating which most
closely corresponds to Baa3).

“Rating Agencies” shall mean Moody’s and S&P.
