Commitments being a “Competitive Bid Reduction”); and provided, further,
that the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances plus the

          (b) Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, (i) an aggregate amount equal to
the amount by which the aggregate amount of a proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing requested by the

and accepted by the Company in respect of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, if such Competitive Bid
Borrowing is made on the same date as such Revolving Credit Borrowing or (ii) the aggregate amount
of the unused Commitments, after giving effect to any Competitive Bid Reductions then in effect)
and shall consist of Revolving Credit Advances of the same Type made on the same day by the Lenders
ratably according to their respective Commitments.

          (c) Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment and the limitation set forth in Section

          (a) (i) Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 11:00

Credit Borrowing in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate

Advance and (v) name of the relevant Borrower (which shall be the Company or a Borrowing
Subsidiary).

          (ii) Each Lender shall, before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time), in the case of a Revolving
Credit Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time),
in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, on the date of such
Revolving Credit Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the
Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Revolving
Credit Borrowing.

          (iii) After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable
conditions set forth in Article III, the Agent will make such same day funds available to the
relevant Borrower at such Borrower’s account at the Agent’s address referred to in Section 8.02,
provided, however, that the Agent shall first apply such funds, to the extent
required, to reimburse any L/C Payment that has not theretofore been reimbursed.

          (b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Company may not
select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such
Revolving Credit Borrowing is less than $10,000,000 or if the obligation of the Lenders to make
Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.10 and (ii) the Eurodollar
Rate Advances may not be outstanding as part of more than six separate Revolving Credit Borrowings.

          (c) Each Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the
relevant Borrower. In the case of any Revolving Credit Borrowing that the related Notice of
Revolving Credit Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Company
shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result
of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Revolving Credit
Borrowing for such Revolving Credit Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III,
including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Revolving Credit
Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Revolving Credit Borrowing when such Revolving
Credit Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

          (d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any
Revolving Credit Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s
ratable portion of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made
such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance
with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the relevant Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that
such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Lender and
such Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such
Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of a Borrower, the
interest rate applicable at the time to Revolving Credit Advances comprising such Revolving Credit
Borrowing and (ii) in the case of

such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such
corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Advance
as part of such Revolving Credit Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement and shall be made
available in same day funds to the relevant Borrower’s account at the Agent’s address referred to
in Section 8.02.

          (e) The failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it as part
of any Revolving Credit Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any,
hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Advance on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, but
no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Credit
Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing.

     SECTION 2.03. The Competitive Bid Advances.

          (a) Each Lender severally agrees that each Borrower may make Competitive Bid Borrowings under

provided that, following the making of each Competitive Bid Borrowing, the aggregate amount
of the Advances then outstanding plus the Aggregate L/C Exposure shall not exceed the
aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders (computed without regard to any Competitive Bid
Reduction).

          (b) The Company (on its own behalf and on behalf of any Borrowing Subsidiary) may request a
Competitive Bid Borrowing under this Section 2.03 by delivering to the Agent, by telecopier or
email, confirmed promptly by hard copy, a notice of a Competitive Bid Borrowing (a “Notice of
Competitive Bid Borrowing”), in substantially the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto, specifying
therein (i) the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, (ii) the aggregate amount of such

of the Borrower, and (vi) any other terms to be applicable to such Competitive Bid Borrowing, not

Competitive Bid Borrowing, if the Company shall instead specify in the Notice of Competitive Bid
Borrowing another basis to be used by the Lenders in determining the rates of interest to be
offered by them (the Advances comprising such Competitive Bid Borrowing being referred to herein as

and reborrow under this Section 2.03, provided that a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not
be made within three Business Days of the date of any other Competitive Bid Borrowing.

          (i) Each Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the account of each Lender that has made a
Competitive Bid Advance to such Borrower, on the maturity date of such Competitive Bid Advance
(such maturity date being that specified by the Company for repayment of such Competitive Bid
Advance in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to paragraph (b)
above and provided in the promissory note, if

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-19-

any, evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance), the then unpaid principal amount of such
Competitive Bid Advance. No Borrower shall have any right to prepay any principal amount of any
Competitive Bid Advance unless (x) such Borrower obtains the prior written consent of the Lender
which made such Competitive Bid Advance, or (y), such prepayment is made on the terms, specified by
the Company for such Competitive Bid Advance in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing
delivered pursuant to paragraph (b) above and set forth in the promissory note, if any, evidencing
such Competitive Bid Advance.

          (j) Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Bid
Advance to such Borrower from the date of such Competitive Bid Advance to the date the principal
amount of such Competitive Bid Advance is repaid in full, at the rate of interest for such
Competitive Bid Advance specified by the Lender making such Competitive Bid Advance in its notice
with respect thereto delivered pursuant to paragraph (c) above, payable on the interest payment
date or dates specified by such Borrower for such Competitive Bid Advance in the related Notice of
Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to paragraph (b) above, as provided in the promissory
note, if any, evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance.

          (k) At its option, the Company (on its own behalf and on behalf of any Borrower) may request
a Competitive Bid Borrowing directly from the Lenders; provided that it follows the
procedures set forth in this Section 2.03 and promptly delivers, by telecopier or telex, a copy of
the Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing and notice in writing of the results of such request to the
Agent.

          (l) The indebtedness of each Borrower resulting from each Competitive Bid Advance made to
such Borrower as part of a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall, if requested by the applicable Lender,
be evidenced by a separate promissory note of such Borrower payable to the order of the Lender
making such Competitive Bid Advance.

     SECTION 2.04. Issuance of Letters of Credit.

          (a) Each Issuing Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue
one or more letters of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”) for the account of the Company
or any Borrowing Subsidiary from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
Effective Date until the date 10 Business Days before the Termination Date, provided that
the Aggregate L/C Exposure shall not at any time exceed the Letter of Credit Facility Amount.
Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability
to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly any Borrower may, during the
foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that
have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

          (b) (i) Each Letter of Credit shall (x) be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
relevant Issuing Lender, (y) be denominated in U.S. dollars, and (z) have a stated
expiration date that is no later than the earlier of (1) one year after its date of issuance
and (2) five Business Days prior to the Termination Date, provided that any Letter
of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year
periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (2) above).

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-20-

     (ii) No Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(x) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall
by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such
Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority
with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such
Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such
Letter of Credit in particular; or

(y) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing
Lender generally applicable to account parties.

          (c) (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than 11:00
A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to date of the proposed issuance
of such Letter of Credit by the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Borrowing
Subsidiary) to the relevant Issuing Lender (or such shorter notice as shall be acceptable to
such Lender), with a copy to the Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice
thereof by telecopier or email. Each such notice (a “Notice of L/C Issuance”) shall
be by telecopier or email, confirmed promptly by hard copy specifying therein the requested
date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day) of such Letter of Credit and its face
amount and expiration date and the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, and shall
attach the proposed form thereof (or such other information as shall be necessary to prepare
such Letter of Credit). If requested by the applicable Issuing Lender, the Company shall
supply such application and agreement for letter of credit as the relevant Issuing Lender
may require in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (“L/C Related
Documents”).

          (ii) If the proposed Letter of Credit complies with the requirements of this Section
2.04, such Issuing Lender will, subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Article
III, make such Letter of Credit available to the Company or the relevant Borrowing
Subsidiary as agreed with the Company (on its own behalf and on behalf of any Borrower) in
connection with such issuance. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any
L/C Related Documents shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement
shall govern.

          (iii) Each Issuing Lender shall furnish (A) to the Agent on the first Business Day of
each week a written report summarizing the issuance and expiration dates of Letters of
Credit issued by it during the previous week and drawings during such week under all Letters
of Credit issued by it, (B) to each Lender and the Company on the first Business Day of each
month a written report summarizing the issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit
issued by it during the preceding month and drawings during such
month under all Letters of Credit issued by it and (C) to the Agent, the Company and
each Lender on the first Business Day of each fiscal quarter a written report setting forth

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-21-

          the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding fiscal quarter of all
Letters of Credit issued by it.

     SECTION 2.05. L/C Payments.

     (a) (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of
drawing under such Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall notify the relevant
Borrower and the Agent thereof. Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of any L/C Payment by
an Issuing Lender if any Borrower receives notice thereof by 9:00 a.m. on such date, and
otherwise on the next Business Day (the “Honor Date”), such Borrower agrees to
reimburse such Issuing Lender directly in an amount equal to the amount of such L/C Payment.

     (ii) If any Borrower fails to so reimburse such Issuing Lender by such time, such
Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Agent and the Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of the Honor Date, the unreimbursed amount of such L/C Payment (the “Unreimbursed
Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share thereof. In
such event, such Borrower shall be irrevocably deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit
Borrowing of Base Rate Advances to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an aggregate amount
equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in
Section 2.01(b). Any notice given by an Issuing Lender or the Agent pursuant to this Section
2.05(a)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided
that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or
binding effect of such notice.

     (iii) Each Lender (including any Lender acting as an Issuing Lender) shall upon any
notice pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) make funds available to the Agent for the account of
the relevant Issuing Lender at the Agent’s Account in an amount equal to its Applicable
Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified
in such notice by the Agent, whereupon each Lender that so makes funds available shall be
deemed to have made a Base Rate Advance to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The
Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant Issuing Lender.

     (iv) The Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unreimbursed amount of any L/C Payment
to the relevant Issuing Lender, for each day from the date of such L/C Payment until such
L/C Payment is reimbursed or refinanced in full as herein provided, at the Base Rate from
time to time, payable on demand.

     (v) Each Lender’s obligation to make the payments provided in clause (iii) above to
reimburse an Issuing Lender for any L/C Payment shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against an
Issuing Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the
occurrence or continuance of a Default or termination of the Commitments or any of

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-22-

them, or
(C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing.

     (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Agent for the account of an Issuing
Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Section 2.05(a) by the time specified in Section 2.05(a)(iii), such Issuing Lender
shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Agent), on demand, such
amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the
date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender at a rate per
annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect (without duplication of
amounts paid by the Borrower under clause (iv) above). A certificate of such Issuing Lender
submitted to any Lender (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          (b) At any time after an Issuing Lender has made an L/C Payment and has received funds from a
Lender in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.05(a)(iii), if the Agent receives
for the account of such Issuing Lender any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or
interest thereon (whether directly from any Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash
collateral applied thereto by the Agent), the Agent will distribute to such Lender its pro
rata share thereof in the same funds as those received by the Agent.

          (c) The obligation of each Borrower to reimburse each Issuing Lender for each L/C Payment
under each Letter of Credit issued for account of such Borrower shall be absolute, unconditional
and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under
all circumstances, including the following:

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or
any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

     (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that
such Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter
of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be
acting), such Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement,
the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or
instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

     (iii) any sight draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or
any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make an L/C Payment under
such Letter of Credit;

     (iv) any payment by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against
presentation of a sight draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of
such Letter of Credit or any payment made by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-23-

Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for
the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to
any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in
connection with any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar
law; or

     (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower.

          (d) Each Lender and each Borrower agrees that, in making any L/C Payment under a Letter of
Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other
than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to
ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the
Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing Lenders, nor the Agent, nor
any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuing Lender shall be
liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or
with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or
omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution,
effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of
Credit or L/C Related Document. None of the Issuing Lenders, nor the Agent, nor any of the
respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lenders, shall be liable or
responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.05(c);
provided, however, that anything in such clauses or elsewhere in this Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding, each Borrower may have a claim against an Issuing Lender, and such
Issuing Lender may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct
(as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive) damages suffered by a Borrower which
were caused by such Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. In furtherance and not
in limitation of the foregoing, each Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face
to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary.

          (e) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an Issuing
Lender and the Company when a Letter of Credit is issued, either the “International Standby
Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later
version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) or, at the option of the Company, the
Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (“UCP”), as most recently published by
the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance shall apply to
each Letter of Credit.

     SECTION 2.06. Fees.

          (a) Facility Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each
Lender a facility fee on the amount of such Lender’s Commitment, irrespective of usage, from the
Effective Date in the case of each Initial Lender and from the effective date specified in the
Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-24-

Lender
until the Termination Date (on a daily basis), at the Applicable Facility Fee Rate, payable in
arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the
Termination Date, commencing on March 31, 2006.

          (b) Agent’s Fees. The Company shall pay to the Agent for its own account such fees
as may from time to time be agreed between the Company and the Agent.

          (c) Utilization Fee. The Company shall pay to the Agent for the account of each
Lender a utilization fee on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s Advances
for each day on which the aggregate outstanding amount of the Advances plus the Aggregate
L/C Exposure exceeds 50% of the aggregate Commitments, from the Effective Date in the case of each
Initial Lender and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to
which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date (on a daily
basis), at the Applicable Utilization Fee rate, payable on each day on which interest is payable
under Section 2.09, and on the Termination Date.

          (d) Letter of Credit Fees.

          (i) The Company agrees to pay to the Agent, for the pro rata account of each
Lender based on the respective Commitments of the Lenders, a commission on the average daily
Available Amount of each Letter of Credit outstanding from time to time, at a rate per annum equal
to the Letter of Credit Commission Rate, payable in arrears quarterly on each Quarterly Date and on
the Termination Date, commencing on the first Quarterly Date after the date hereof.

          (ii) The Company agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, (x) a fronting
fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in
arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the Termination Date, in an amount equal to 0.10% per annum
of the average daily Available Amount of such Letter of Credit and (y) such customary fees and
charges in connection with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit issued by such
Issuing Lender as may be agreed in writing between the Company and such Issuing Lender from time to
time.

     SECTION 2.07. Termination, Reduction or Increase of the Commitments.

          (a) The Company shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Agent,
to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments
of the Lenders, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of
$5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and provided
further that (x) the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall not be
reduced to an amount that is less than the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Advances
then outstanding, plus the Aggregate L/C Exposure, and (y) once terminated, a portion of a
Commitment shall not be reinstated except pursuant to Section 2.07(c).

          (b) If any Lender shall make a demand under Section 2.13 or 2.16 or if the obligation of any
Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall have been suspended pursuant to Section 2.14, the
Company shall have the right, upon at least ten Business Days’ notice, to

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-25-

terminate in full the
Commitment of such Lender or to demand that such Lender assign to one or more Eligible Assignees
all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.07. If the
Company shall elect to terminate in full the Commitment of any Lender pursuant to this Section
2.07(b), the Company shall pay to such Lender, on the effective date of such Commitment
termination, an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to
such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount
and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, whereupon such Lender shall
cease to be a party hereto.

          (c) (i) Not more than once in any calendar year, the Company may propose to increase the
aggregate amount of the Commitments by an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (a “Proposed Aggregate Commitment Increase”) in the manner
set forth below, provided that:

     (1) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing either as of the date on which
the Company shall notify the Agent of its request to increase the aggregate amount of the
Commitments or as of the related Increase Date (as hereinafter defined); and

     (2) after giving effect to any such increase, the aggregate amount of the Commitments
shall not exceed $800,000,000 (and no increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments
hereunder shall result in a change in the Letter of Credit Facility Amount).

          (ii) The Company may request an increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments by
delivering to the Agent a notice (an “Increase Notice”; the date of delivery thereof to the
Agent being the “Increase Notice Date”) specifying (1) the Proposed Aggregate Commitment
Increase, (2) the proposed date (the “Increase Date”) on which the Commitments would be so
increased (which Increase Date may not be fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days after the Increase
Notice Date) and (3) the New Lenders, if any, to whom the Company desires to offer the opportunity
to commit to all or a portion of the Proposed Aggregate Commitment Increase. The Agent shall in
turn promptly notify each Lender of the Company’s request by sending each Lender a copy of such
notice.

          (iii) Not later than the date five days after the Increase Notice Date, the Agent shall
notify each New Lender, if any, identified in the related Increase Notice of the opportunity to
commit to all or any portion of the Proposed Aggregate Commitment Increase. Each such New Lender
may irrevocably commit to all or a portion of the Proposed Aggregate Commitment Increase (such New
Lender’s “Proposed New Commitment”) by notifying the Agent (which shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Company) before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date that is 10 days after
the Increase Notice Date; provided that:

     (1) the Proposed New Commitment of each New Lender shall be in an amount of
$25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and

     (2) each New Lender that submits a Proposed New Commitment shall enter into an
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Agent pursuant to which
such New Lender shall undertake a Commitment (and, if any such New Lender

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-26-

is already a
Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such
date), and shall pay to the Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.

          (iv) If the aggregate Proposed New Commitments of all of the New Lenders shall be less than
the Proposed Aggregate Commitment Increase, then (unless the Company otherwise requests) the Agent
shall, on or prior to the date that is 15 days after the Increase Notice Date, notify each Lender
of the opportunity to so commit to all or any portion of the Proposed Aggregate Commitment Increase
not committed to by New Lenders pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(iii). Each Lender may, if, in its sole
discretion, it elects to do so, irrevocably offer to commit to all or a portion of such remainder
(such Lender’s “Proposed Increased Commitment”) by notifying the Agent (which shall give
prompt notice thereof to the Company) no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date
five days before the Increase Date.

          (v) If the aggregate amount of Proposed New Commitments and Proposed Increased Commitments
(such aggregate amount, the “Total Committed Increase”) equals or exceeds $25,000,000,
then, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.07(c)(i):

     (1) effective on and as of the Increase Date, the aggregate amount of the Commitments
shall be increased by the lesser of the proposed aggregate Committed Increase and the Total
Committed Increase and shall be allocated among the New Lenders and the Lenders as provided
in Section 2.07(c)(vi); and

     (2) on the Increase Date, if any Revolving Loans are then outstanding, the Company
shall borrow Revolving Loans from all or certain of the Lenders and/or (subject to
compliance by the Company with Section 8.04(d)) prepay Revolving Loans of all or certain of
the Lenders such that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loans (including, without
limitation, the Types and Interest Periods thereof) shall be held by the Lenders (including
for such purposes New Lenders) ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments.

If the Total Committed Increase is less than $25,000,000, then the aggregate amount of the
Commitments shall not be changed pursuant to this Section 2.07(c).

          (vi) The Total Committed Increase shall be allocated among New Lenders having Proposed New
Commitments and Lenders having Proposed Increased Commitments as follows:

     (1) If the Total Committed Increase shall be at least $25,000,000 and less than or
equal to the Proposed Aggregate Commitment Increase, then (x) the initial Commitment of each
New Lender shall be such New Lender’s Proposed New Commitment and (y) the Commitment of each
Lender shall be increased by such Lender’s Proposed Increased Commitment.

     (2) If the Total Committed Increase shall be greater than the Proposed Aggregate
Commitment Increase, then the Total Committed Increase shall be allocated:

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-27-

     (x) first to New Lenders (to the extent of their respective
Proposed New Commitments) in such a manner as the Company shall agree; and

     (y) then to Lenders on a pro rata basis based on the ratio of
each Lender’s Proposed Increased Commitment (if any) to the aggregate amount
of the Proposed Increased Commitments of all of the Lenders.

          (vii) No increase in the Commitments contemplated hereby shall become effective until the
Agent shall have received (x) promissory notes in respect of the Revolving Loans payable to each
New Lender and each other Lender whose Commitment is being increased that, in either case, shall
have requested such promissory notes at least two Business Days prior to the Increase Date, and (y)
evidence satisfactory to the Agent (including an update of the opinion of counsel provided pursuant
to Section 3.01(g)(v)) that such increases in the Commitments, and borrowings thereunder, have been
duly authorized.

     SECTION 2.08. Repayment of Revolving Credit Advances; Evidence of Indebtedness;
Extension of Termination Date.

          (a) The Company and each Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the
Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances
then outstanding.

          (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by
such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from
time to time hereunder. The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount
of each Advance made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period, if any, applicable
thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable
from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent
hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. The entries made in the
accounts maintained pursuant to this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the
existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any
Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect
the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Any Lender may request that Advances 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 the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its
registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Agent. Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by
such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant
to Section 8.07) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order
of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its
registered assigns).

          (c) The Company may by written notice to the Agent, not more than 90 nor less than 60 days
prior to the Termination Date then in effect, request that the Termination Date then in effect be
extended for a further period of one year. Such request shall be irrevocable and

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-28-

binding upon the
Company. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request. If a Lender agrees, in its
individual and sole discretion, to so extend its Commitment (an “Extending Lender”), it
will notify the Agent, in writing, of its decision to do so not more than 30 nor less than 20 days
before said date. The Commitment of any Lender that fails to accept (or fails to respond to) the
Company’s request for extension of the Termination Date (a “Declining Lender”) shall be
terminated on the Termination Date theretofore in effect (without regard to extension by other
Lenders). The Extending Lenders, or any of them, shall then have the right to increase their
respective Commitments by an aggregate amount up to the amount of all Declining Lenders’
Commitments, and, to the extent of any shortfall, the Company shall have the right to require any
Declining Lender to assign in full its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible
Assignee designated by the Company that agrees to accept all of such rights and obligations (a
“Replacement Lender”), provided that (i) such increase and/or such assignment is
otherwise in compliance with Section 8.07, (ii) such Declining Lender receives payment in full of
an amount equal to the principal amount of all Advances owing to such Declining Lender, together
with accrued interest thereon to the date of such assignment and all other amounts payable to such
Declining Lender under this Agreement and (iii) any such increase shall be effective on the
Termination Date theretofore in effect and any such assignment shall be effective on the date
specified by the Company and agreed to by the Replacement Lender and the Agent. If (i) Extending
Lenders and/or Replacement Lenders provide Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to 51% of the
aggregate amount of the Commitments outstanding immediately prior to the Termination Date in effect
at the time the Company requests such extension, and (ii) no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing immediately prior to said Termination Date, the Termination Date shall be extended by
one year (the “New Termination Date”) (except that, if the date on which the Termination
Date is to be extended is not a Business Day, such Termination Date as so extended shall be the
next preceding Business Day) from the effective date set forth in an Extension Agreement, in
substantially the form in Exhibit A-3 hereto, which has been duly completed and signed by the
Company, the Agent and the Extending Lenders and Replacement Lenders party thereto; and (iii) the
Agent shall notify the Issuing Lenders of the New Termination Date and the Lenders whose
Termination Dates are the New Termination Date and each Issuing Lender shall determine whether or
not, acting in its sole discretion, it shall elect to extend its Termination Date to the New
Termination Date and shall so notify the Agent, at which time such Issuing Lender’s obligation to
issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.04 and 2.05 shall be extended to the date 10
Business Days before the New Termination Date. Such Extension Agreement shall be executed and
delivered no earlier than 30 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect and the effective
date shall be no earlier than 29 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect. No extension
of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) shall be legally binding on any party hereto
unless and until such party executes and delivers a counterpart of such Extension Agreement.

     SECTION 2.09. Interest on Revolving Credit Advances and Letters of Credit Advances. Each
Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance
made to such Borrower from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance until such principal amount
shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

          (a) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Revolving Credit Advance is a
Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the Base Rate in effect from time

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-29-

to time, payable in arrears quarterly on each Quarterly Date during such periods and on the date such
Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

          (b) Eurodollar Rate Advances. During such periods as such Revolving Credit Advance
is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for
such Revolving Credit Advance to the sum of (x) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for
such Revolving Credit Advance plus (y) the Applicable Margin, payable in arrears on the
last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three
months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day
of such Interest Period and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in
full.

     SECTION 2.10. Interest Rate Determination.

          (a) If the Eurodollar Rate does not appear on Page 3750 of the Telerate Service (or any
successor page), each Reference Bank agrees to furnish to the Agent timely information for the
purpose of determining each Eurodollar Rate. If the Eurodollar Rate does not appear on said Page
3750 (or any successor page), and if any one or more of the Reference Banks shall not furnish such
timely information to the Agent for the purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Agent
shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining
Reference Banks. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Company and the Lenders of the
applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.09, and the rate, if
any, furnished by each Reference Bank for the purpose of determining the interest rate under
Section 2.09(b).

          (b) If, due to a major disruption in the interbank funding market with respect to any
Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any
Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of
making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period,
the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each Eurodollar
Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor,
Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert
Revolving Credit Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall
notify the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

          (c) If the Company shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any
Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest
Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Company and the Lenders and the
Company will be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month.

          (d) If the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any
Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $10,000,000, such
Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto.

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-30-

          (e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each
Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period
therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to
Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.

          (f) If the Eurodollar Rate does not appear on Page 3750 of the Telerate Service (or any
successor page) and fewer than two Reference Banks furnish timely information to the Agent for
determining the Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Rate Advances,

     (i) the Agent shall forthwith notify the Company and the Lenders that the interest
rate cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Rate Advances,

     (ii) each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing
Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a
Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and

     (iii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances
into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Company
and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

     SECTION 2.11. Optional Conversion of Revolving Credit Advances. The Company may on any
Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the
third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of
Sections 2.10 and 2.14, Convert all Revolving Credit Advances of one Type comprising the same
Borrowing into Revolving Credit Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that
any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last
day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances
into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in
Section 2.02(b) and no Conversion of any Revolving Credit Advances shall result in more separate
Revolving Credit Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). Each such notice of a Conversion
shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the
Revolving Credit Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate
Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of
Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Company.

     SECTION 2.12. Optional Prepayments of Revolving Credit Advances. The
Company may, upon notice not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such
payment, in the case of Base Rate Advances, and two Business Days’ notice, in the case of
Eurodollar Rate Advances, to the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of
the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Company shall, prepay the outstanding principal
amount of the Revolving Credit Advances comprising part of the same Revolving Credit Borrowing in
whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the
principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-31-

an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof
and (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Company shall be
obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to
Section 8.04(d).

     SECTION 2.13. Increased Costs.

          (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation or in
the interpretation or administration of any law or regulation by any governmental authority charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or
request from any central bank or other governmental authority that would be complied with generally
by similarly situated banks acting reasonably (whether or not having the force of law), there shall
be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
Eurodollar Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material,
then the Company shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to
the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to
compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased
cost, submitted to the Company and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be entitled to
request compensation under this paragraph with respect to any Competitive Bid Advance if the change
giving rise to such request was applicable to such Lender at the time of submission of such
Lender’s offer to make such Competitive Bid Advance.

          (b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of
any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or
other governmental or regulatory authority which becomes effective after the date hereof, there
shall be any increase in the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender
(including any Issuing Lender) or any corporation controlling such Lender and the amount of such
capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s Advances or participation in
Letters of Credit or commitment to lend or, in the case of an Issuing Lender, issue Letters of
Credit hereunder and other commitments of this type by an amount deemed by such Lender to be
material, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Company
shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such
Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of
such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital
to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s Advances or participation in Letters of Credit or
commitment to lend or issue Letters of Credit hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts
submitted to the Company and the Agent by such Lender shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes as to the calculations therein, absent manifest error.
Such certificate shall be in reasonable detail and shall certify that the claim for additional
amounts referred to therein is generally consistent with such Lender’s treatment of similarly
situated customers of such Lender whose transactions with such Lender are similarly affected by the
change in circumstances giving rise to such payment, but such Lender shall not be required to
disclose any confidential or proprietary information therein.

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-32-

     SECTION 2.14. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any
Lender (including any Issuing Lender) shall notify the Agent (and provide to the Company an opinion
of counsel to the effect) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any
law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts
that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations
hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar
Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances hereunder, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance or LIBO Rate
Advance, as the case may be, of such Lender will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a
Base Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.09(a), as
the case may be, and (ii) the obligation of such Lender to make, or to Convert Revolving Credit
Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Company
and such Lender that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and such Lender
shall make the Base Rate Advances in the amount and on the dates that it would have been requested
to make Eurodollar Rate Advances had no such suspension been in effect.

     SECTION 2.15. Payments and Computations.

          (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City
time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Agent at the Agent’s Account in same day funds.
The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of
principal or interest or facility fees or utilization fees ratably (other than amounts payable
pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.05, 2.06(b), 2.07(b), 2.13, 2.16 or 8.04(d) to be distributed to the
respective parties entitled thereto) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable
Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender
to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance
and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(d),
from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make
all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee
thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate
adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

          (b) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate and of facility fees, letter of
credit fees under Section 2.06(d) and of utilization fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis
of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the
Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year
of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding
the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or facility fees or usage fees are
payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

          (c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business
Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time
shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-33-

or facility fee, letter of
credit fees under Section 2.06(d) or utilization fee, as the case may be; provided,
however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of
Eurodollar Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month,
such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

          (d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which
any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that a Borrower will not make such payment in full, the
Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the
Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due
date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent such Borrower shall
not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith
on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from
the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to
the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

     SECTION 2.16. Taxes.

          (a) Each Lender is exempt from any withholding imposed under the laws of the United States in
respect of any fees, interest or other payments to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement
or any promissory notes issued hereunder (the “Income”) because (i) the Lender is organized
under the laws of the United States; (ii) the Income is effectively connected with the conduct of a
trade or business within the United States within the meaning of Section 871 of the Internal
Revenue Code; or (iii) the Income is eligible for an exemption by reason of a tax treaty. The
Agent is exempt from any withholding tax imposed under the laws of the United States in respect of
the Income because the Agent is organized under the laws of the United States.

          (b) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (each, a
“Foreign Lender”) shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this
Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance
pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Foreign Lender and from time to time
thereafter if requested in writing by the Company or the Agent, provide the Agent and the relevant
Borrower with Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or
other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Foreign Lender is
exempt or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on any Income that is the
subject of such forms. If the form provided by a Foreign Lender at the time such Foreign Lender
first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in
excess of zero, or in excess of the rate applicable to the Foreign Lender assignor on the date of
the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Foreign Lender, in the case of each other Foreign Lender,
withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes as defined in Section 2.16(c).

          (c) Based on Section 2.16(a) and (b), any and all payments by any Borrower hereunder or under
any promissory notes issued hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
present United States federal income withholding taxes imposed on a

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-34-

Foreign Lender under the
Internal Revenue Code (such withholding taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).

          (d) If, as a result of the enactment, promulgation, execution or ratification of, or any
change in or amendment to, any United States law or any tax treaty (or in the application or
official interpretation of any law or any tax treaty) that occurs on or after the date a Foreign
Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement (a “Change in Law”), a Foreign Lender cannot
comply with Section 2.16(b) or, if despite such compliance, any Borrower shall be required to
deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any Income, then: (i) the sum payable to such Foreign Lender
shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions for such Taxes
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) such Foreign
Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Borrower shall be entitled to pay any Taxes in any lawful
manner so as to reduce any deductions and such Foreign Lender shall to the extent it is reasonably
able provide any documentation or file any forms as may be required by the Internal Revenue Service
or any other foreign governmental agency. In addition, if any Foreign Lender or the Agent (in lieu
of such Foreign Lender), as the case may be, is required to pay directly any Taxes as a result of a
Change in Law because a Borrower cannot or does not legally or timely do so, the Company shall
indemnify such Foreign Lender or Agent for payment of such Taxes, without duplication of, or
increase in, the amount of Taxes otherwise due to the Foreign Lender.

          (e) In addition, the Company agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes
or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (excluding any income or franchise
taxes, business taxes or capital taxes of any nature) that arise from the execution, delivery or
registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as
“Other Taxes”). If a Lender is required to pay directly Other Taxes because a Borrower
cannot or does not legally or timely do so, the Company shall indemnify such Lender for such
payment of Other Taxes.

          (f) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or foreign withholding taxes, the
Company shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a
certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. Prior to making any payment hereunder by
or on behalf of any Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or on behalf of
any Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person (a “Foreign Payment”), such
Borrower shall determine that no foreign withholding taxes are payable in respect thereof, and at
its expense, shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the
Agent, at such address, a certificate from each appropriate taxing authority, or an opinion of
counsel acceptable to the Agent, in either case stating that such Foreign Payment is exempt from or
not subject to foreign withholding taxes. Each Lender shall cooperate with each Borrower’s efforts
described in this subsection by providing to the extent reasonably within its means any forms
requested by such Borrower substantiating an exemption from foreign withholding taxes required by
any governmental agency. For purposes of this subsection (f), the terms “United States” and
“United States person” shall have the meaning specified in Section 7701 of the

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-35-

Internal Revenue
Code. If, as a result of the enactment, promulgation, execution or ratification of, or any change
in or amendment to, any applicable foreign law or any tax treaty (or in the application or official
interpretation of any law or any tax treaty) that occurs on or after the date a tax opinion is
rendered pursuant to the terms of this subsection, and which renders such tax opinion incorrect as
to the absence of any foreign withholding tax (a “Foreign Change in Law”), any Borrower
shall be required to deduct any foreign withholding taxes from or in respect of any Income, then:
(i) the sum payable to the applicable Lender shall be increased as may be necessary so that after
making all required deductions for foreign withholding taxes (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions
and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or
other authority in accordance with applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Borrower
shall be entitled to pay any foreign withholding taxes in any lawful manner so as to reduce any
deductions and such Lender shall to the extent it is reasonably able provide any documentation or
file any forms as may be required by the Internal Revenue Service or any other foreign governmental
agency. In addition, if any Lender is required to pay directly any foreign withholding tax in
respect of any Foreign Payments made pursuant to this Agreement because a Borrower cannot or does
not legally or timely do so, the Company shall indemnify such Lender for payment of such tax.

          (g) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to comply with the requirements
of subsection (b) or (f) relating to certain forms intended to reduce withholding taxes (other than
if such failure is due to a Change in Law or a Foreign Change in Law), such Lender shall not be
entitled to indemnification under subsection (d) or (f).

          (h) Upon a Change in Law or the imposition of any foreign withholding tax in respect of
Foreign Payments, a Lender shall, upon the written request of and at the expense of the Company,
use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of
such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such taxes that may thereafter
accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause the imposition on such
Lender of any material legal or regulatory burdens.

          (i) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Borrower hereunder, the
agreements and obligations of the Company contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the payment
in full of principal and interest hereunder until the applicable statute of limitations relating to
the payment of any Taxes under Section 2.16(d) has expired.

          (j) Any request by any Lender for payment of any amount under this Section 2.16 shall be
accompanied by a certification that such Lender’s claim for said amount is generally
consistent with such Lender’s treatment of similarly situated customers of such Lender whose
transactions with such Lender are similarly affected by the change in circumstances giving rise to
such payment, but such Lender shall not be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary
information therein.

     SECTION 2.17. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether
voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-36-

otherwise) on account of
the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.07(b), 2.13, 2.16 or
8.04(d)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Revolving Credit Advances
obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such
participations in the Revolving Credit Advances or the owing to them as shall be necessary to
cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them;
provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter
recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such
Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery
together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i)
the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in
respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a
participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect
to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the
amount of such participation.

     SECTION 2.18. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances and the Letters of Credit
shall be available (and the Company agrees that such proceeds shall be used) for general corporate
purposes of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including commercial paper backstop.

     SECTION 2.19. Borrowings by Borrowing Subsidiaries; Substitution of Borrower.

      (a) The Company may, at any time or from time to time, designate one or more Subsidiaries
(including the Guarantor) as Borrowers hereunder by furnishing to the Agent a letter (a
“Designation Letter”) in duplicate, in substantially the form of Exhibit D, duly
completed and executed by the Company and such Subsidiary. Upon any such designation of a
Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a Borrower entitled to borrow
Revolving Credit Advances and Competitive Bid Advances and to request the issuance of Letters of
Credit on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

      (b) If all principal of and interest on all Advances made to any Borrowing Subsidiary have
been paid in full, the Company may terminate the status of such Borrowing Subsidiary as a
Borrower hereunder by furnishing to the Agent a letter (a “Termination Letter”) in
substantially the form of Exhibit F, duly completed and executed by the
Company. Any Termination Letter furnished hereunder shall be effective upon receipt by the
Agent, which shall promptly notify the Lenders, whereupon the Lenders shall, upon payment in
full of all amounts owing by such Borrower hereunder, promptly deliver to the Company (through
the Agent) the promissory notes, if any, of such former Borrower. If at the time of such
termination any Letter of Credit is outstanding for account of such Borrowing Subsidiary, the
Company shall, automatically upon the effectiveness of such termination, be deemed to have
assumed, and to have agreed to pay and perform, as primary obligor, all of the obligations of
such Borrowing Subsidiary hereunder and under any L/C Related

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-37-

Documents relating to such Letter
of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a Termination Letter with respect to
any Borrower shall not terminate (i) any obligation of such Borrower that remains unpaid at the
time of such delivery (including without limitation any obligation arising thereafter in respect
of such Borrower under Section 2.13 or 2.16) or (ii) the obligations of the Company under
Article IX with respect to any such unpaid obligations; provided, that if the status of
such Borrowing Subsidiary has been terminated as aforesaid because the Company has sold or
transferred its interest in such Subsidiary, and the Company so certifies to the Agent at the
time of delivery of such Termination Letter, and subject to payment of said principal and
interest, (i) such Subsidiary shall, automatically upon the effectiveness of the delivery of
such Termination Letter and certification, cease to have any obligation under this Agreement and
(ii) the Company shall automatically be deemed to have unconditionally assumed, as primary
obligor, and hereby agrees to pay and perform, all of such obligations.

      (c) In addition to the foregoing, the Company may, at any time when there are no Advances
outstanding hereunder and upon not less than 10 Business Days’ notice, irrevocably elect to
terminate its right to be a Borrower hereunder as of the date (which shall be a Business Day)
specified in such Substitution Letter (the “Substitution Date”) and designate the
Guarantor as a Borrower hereunder by furnishing to the Agent (x) a letter (a “Substitution
Letter”), in substantially the form of Exhibit E duly completed and executed by the Company
and the Guarantor, (y) a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company, and a
certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Guarantor, each dated the Substitution
Date, stating that:

     (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 (except the
representations set forth in the last sentence of subsection (e) thereof and in subsection
(f) thereof (other than clause (ii) thereof)) are correct in all material respects on and as
of the Substitution Date, as though made on and as of such date, and

     (ii) no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such designation,
that constitutes a Default;

and (z) the Agent shall have received such other corporate documents, resolutions and legal
opinions relating to the foregoing as it, or any Lender through the Agent, may reasonably request.
If at the time of such termination any Letter of Credit is outstanding for the account of the
Company, the Guarantor shall, automatically upon the effectiveness of such termination, be deemed
to have assumed, and to have agreed to pay and perform, as primary obligor, all of the
obligations of the Company hereunder and under all L/C Related Documents relating to such Letter of
Credit.

     SECTION 2.20. Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
2.13, or if the obligation of any Lender to make or continue Advances as, or Convert Advances into,
Eurodollar Rate Advances is suspended pursuant to Section 2.14, then, upon the written request of
the Company, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-38-

Lender, such
designations or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13
or would cause such Lender not to be subject to such suspension, as the case may be, in the future
and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause imposition on such Lender of any material legal or
regulatory burdens or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to
pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.

ARTICLE III

CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVENESS AND ARTICLE II

     SECTION 3.01. Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness of Sections 2.01, 2.03 and 2.04.

not more than 25 percent of the value of the assets (either of any Borrower only or of the Company

and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements
referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each
Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or

Agreement, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting
the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share
of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery,
administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this

Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right

appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after
the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the
retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the

acceptable to the Company, and shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United
States of America or of any State thereof and having total assets of at least $1,000,000,000. Upon
the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the
provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY,

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-53-

     SECTION 8.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Agent to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

     SECTION 8.04. Costs and Expenses.

          (a) The Company agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent as set forth in

negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement and the other documents to be
delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the
Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 8.04(a).

          (b) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Lender and each of
their Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an
“Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be
incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in
connection with or by reason of, or in connection with the preparation for a defense of, any
investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with this
Agreement, any promissory note issued hereunder, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the
actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances, whether or not such investigation,
litigation or proceeding is brought by any Borrower, the Guarantor, their directors, shareholders
or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a
party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, except to
the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall any party hereto be liable on any
theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including,
without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).

          (c) To the extent that the Company fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the
Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8.04, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that
the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the
case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent in its capacity as such.

          (d) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance or LIBO
Rate Advance is made by any Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day
of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion

2.10(d) or (e), 2.12 or 2.14, acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01

to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate
such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result
of such payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by
reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund
or maintain such Advance.

          (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Borrower hereunder, the
agreements and obligations of the Company contained in Sections 2.13, 2.16 and 8.04 shall survive
the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder.

     SECTION 8.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by
Section 6.01 to authorize the Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the
provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender and each of its Affiliates 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 or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account
of any Loan Party or any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of such Loan Party or such
Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, 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 after any such set-off and application, provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The
rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender and its
Affiliates may have.

     SECTION 8.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective (other than Sections 2.01, 2.03 and 2.04, which shall only
become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.01) when it
shall have been executed by the Loan Parties and the Agent and when the Agent shall have been
notified by each Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Loan Parties, each Subsidiary Borrower (if any), the
Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower shall
have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written
consent of the Lenders.

     SECTION 8.07. Assignments and Participations.

Section 2.14) upon at least ten days’ notice to such Lender and the Agent, will assign to one or
more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Revolving Credit Advances owing to
it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and
not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than any right
to make Competitive Bid Advances or Competitive Bid Advances owing to it), (ii) except in the case
of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an
assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the
Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as
of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be
less than the lesser of (x) $25,000,000 (and, if greater, shall be in an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof) and (y) the smallest initial Commitment of any Initial Lender, (iii)
each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) each such assignment made as a result
of a demand by the Company pursuant to this Section 8.07(a) shall be arranged by the Company after
consultation with the Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations
of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and
obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together
cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (v) no Lender
shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Company pursuant to
this Section 8.07(a) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from
either the Company or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances owing to such Lender,
together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all
other amounts (other than Competitive Bid Advances) payable to such Lender under this Agreement and
(vi) the parties to each such assignment (other than any Borrower) shall execute and deliver to the
Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined in clause (d) below), an
Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. Upon such
execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent
that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor
thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it
pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (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).

          (b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder
and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as
follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, 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; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-56-

respect to the financial condition of
any Borrower or the performance or observance by any Borrower of any of its obligations under this
Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee
confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial
statements referred to in Section 4.01 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; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the 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; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such
assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to
exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms
hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii)
such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations
that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

          (c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an
assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and
Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, (i) accept such
Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii)
give prompt notice thereof to the Company.

          (d) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.02 a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the
names and addresses of the Lenders and, with respect to Lenders, the Commitment of, and principal
amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error,
and each Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Loan Parties or any Lender at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPC”), identified as such
in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Agent and the Company, the option to
provide to the Company all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be
obligated to make to the Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing
herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Advance, (ii) if an SPC elects not to
exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Advance, the Granting
Lender shall be obligated to make such Advance pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of an
Advance by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent,
and as if, such Advance were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto agrees that no SPC
shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability
for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party
hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior
to the date that is one year and one day after the

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-57-

payment in full of all outstanding commercial
paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other
person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.07(e), any SPC may (i) with
notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Company and the Agent and without paying
any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Advances to the
Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Company and the Agent)
providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of any SPC to support the funding
or maintenance of Advances and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information
relating to its Advances to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety,
guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

          (f) Each Lender may, upon notice to the Agent and the Company, sell participations to one or
more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances owing
to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, its Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any promissory note issued or assigned to
it hereunder, (iv) the Borrowers, the Guarantor, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to
approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure
by any Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce
the principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in
each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment
of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in
each case to the extent subject to such participation.

          (g) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment
or participation pursuant to this Section 8.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed
assignee or participant any information relating to any Loan Party or any Borrower furnished to
such Lender by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any Borrower; provided that, prior to any
such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to
preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Loan Parties or the
Borrowers received by it from such Lender.

          (h) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any
time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement or any
promissory note issued to such Lender hereunder (including, without limitation, the Advances owing
to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

     SECTION 8.08. Confidentiality. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall disclose any
Confidential Information to any Person without the consent of the Company, other than (a)

5-Year Credit Agreement

 

-58-

to the
Agent’s or such Lender’s Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors
and to actual or prospective assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential basis, (b)
as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, (c) to any rating agency when
required by it and (d) as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or
examiner regulating banks or banking.

     SECTION 8.09. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

     SECTION 8.10. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and
the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by
telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.11. Jurisdiction, Etc.

          (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and
its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the
United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in
any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal
court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any
party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement in the courts
of any jurisdiction.

          (b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent
it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that 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 in any New
York State or federal court sitting in New York City. 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.

     SECTION 8.12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH BORROWER, THE AGENT, EACH ISSUING LENDER AND
EACH OF THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING

ARTICLE IX

COMPANY GUARANTEE

     SECTION 9.01. Company Guarantee. Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, the
Company unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Lender and the Agent and their
respective successors and assigns, that: (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Advances to and all L/C Reimbursement Obligations of each Borrowing Subsidiary and, following
the Substitution Date, the Guarantor (each a “Guaranteed Party”) and any promissory notes
issued by any Guaranteed Party hereunder will be duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether
at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and interest on overdue principal, and
premium, if any, and (to the extent permitted by law) interest on any interest, if any, on the
Advances and all L/C Reimbursement Obligations and all other obligations of the Guaranteed Parties
to the Lenders or the Agent hereunder (including fees and expenses) will be promptly paid in full,
all in accordance with the terms hereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal
of any of the Advances to any Guaranteed Party or any of such other obligations, the same will be
promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or
renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any
amount so guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligation of the Guaranteed Parties to
the Lenders or the Agent, for whatever reason, the Company will be obligated to pay, or to perform
or to cause the performance of, the same immediately. An Event of Default under this Agreement
shall constitute an event of default under this Guarantee, and shall entitle the Lenders to
accelerate the obligations of the Company under this Guarantee in the same manner and to the same
extent as the obligations of the Guaranteed Parties.

          The Company hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guarantee shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Designation
Letter or the Substitution Letter, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or
consent by any Lender or the Agent of this Agreement any Designation Letter or the Substitution
Letter, with respect to any thereof, the entry of any judgment against any Guaranteed Party, any
action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge or defense of the Company. The Company hereby waives and relinquishes: (a)
any right to require the Agent, the Lenders or any

Guaranteed Party (each, a “Benefitted
Party”) to proceed against any Guaranteed Party or any other Person or to proceed against or
exhaust any security held by a Benefitted Party at any time or to pursue any other remedy in any
secured party’s power before proceeding against the Company; (b) any defense that may arise by
reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other Person or Persons or
the failure of a Benefitted Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration,
bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other Person or Persons; (c) demand, protest and notice
of any kind (except as expressly required by this Agreement), including but not limited to notice
of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional Debt or obligation or of any
action or non-action on the part of the Company, any Benefitted Party, any creditor of the Company
or any Guaranteed Party or on the part of any other Person whomsoever in connection with any
obligations the performance of which are guaranteed under this Guarantee; (d) any defense based
upon an election of remedies by a Benefitted Party, including but not limited to an election to
proceed against the Company or any other Guaranteed Party for reimbursement; (e) any defense based
upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither
larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (f) any defense
arising because of a Benefitted Party’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy
Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (g) any defense based on
any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code. The
Company hereby covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by payment in full of
all principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Advances made to each Guaranteed Party and all
other costs provided for under this Agreement in respect thereof. This is a Guarantee of payment
and not of collectibility.

          If any Lender or the Agent is required by any court or otherwise to return to either the
Company or any Guaranteed Party, or any trustee or similar official acting in relation to either
the Company or any Guaranteed Party, any amount paid by the Company or any
Guaranteed Party to the Agent or such Lender, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. The Company agrees that it will not be
entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Lenders or the Agent in respect of any
obligations guaranteed under this Guarantee until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed
hereby. The Company agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Agent, on
the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed under this Guarantee may be
accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the purposes hereof, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in
Article VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and
payable by such Company for the purpose of this Guarantee.

law) interest on any interest, if any, on the Advances, and all L/C Reimbursement Obligations and
any promissory note issued hereunder and all other obligations of the Company to the Lenders or

with the terms hereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of
the Advances or any of such other obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or

performance of any other obligation of the Company to the Lenders or the Agent, for whatever
reason, the Guarantor will be obligated to pay, or to perform or to cause the performance of, the
same immediately. An Event of Default under this Agreement shall constitute an event of default
under this Guarantee, and shall entitle the Lenders to accelerate the obligations of the Guarantor
under this Guarantee in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Company.

          The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guarantee shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, the absence of any
action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Lender or the Agent of this Agreement with
respect to any thereof, the entry of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the
same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes: (a) any right to require
the Agent, the Lenders or the Company (each, a “Benefitted Person”) to proceed against the
Company or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security
held by a Benefitted Person at any time or to pursue any other remedy in any secured party’s
power before proceeding against the Guarantor; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the
incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other Person or Persons or the failure of
a Benefitted Person to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or
any other proceeding) of any other Person or Persons; (c) demand, protest and notice of any kind
(except as expressly required by this Agreement), including but not limited to notice of the
existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional Debt or obligation or of any action or
non-action on the part of the Guarantor, the Company, any Benefitted Person, any creditor of the
Guarantor, the Company or on the part of any other Person whomsoever in connection with any
obligations the performance of which are guaranteed under this Guarantee; (d) any defense based
upon an election of remedies by a Benefitted Person, including but not limited to an election to
proceed against the Guarantor for reimbursement; (e) any defense based upon any statute or rule of
law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other
respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (f) any defense arising because of a
Benefitted Person’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the
application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (g) any defense based on any
borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Guarantor
hereby covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by payment in full of all
principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Advances and all other costs provided for under
this Agreement. This is a Guarantee of payment and not of collectibility.

     If any Lender or the Agent is required by any court or otherwise to return to either the
Company or the Guarantor, or any trustee or similar official acting in relation to either the
Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or the Guarantor to the Agent or such
Lender, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and
effect. The Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation
to the Lenders or the Agent in respect of any obligations guaranteed under this Guarantee until
payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. The Guarantor agrees that, as between it, on
the one hand, and the Lenders and the Agent, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations
guaranteed under this Guarantee may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the
purposes hereof, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any
acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not
due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purpose of this

irrevocably agree that the obligations of the Guarantor under this Article X shall be limited to
the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of
the Guarantor, result in the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a

[FORM OF OPINION OF SPECIAL NEW YORK COUNSEL OF THE COMPANY AND THE GUARANTOR]

March 17, 2006

The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc.

Bottling Group, LLC

Credit Agreement dated as of March [•], 2006

(212) 474-1682

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as special New York counsel to The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Borrower”), and Bottling Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(the “Guarantor” and, together with the Borrower, the “Companies”), in connection
with the Credit Agreement dated as of March [•], 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the
Borrower, the Guarantor, the lending institutions party thereto (the “Lenders”) and
Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”). This opinion is
being delivered to you pursuant to paragraph (g)(v) of Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit
Agreement.

     In that connection, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to
our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion, including:

	 	i.	 	the Credit Agreement,
	 
	 	ii.	 	the articles of incorporation of the Borrower, as amended,
	 
	 	iii.	 	the by-laws of the Borrower, as amended,
	 
	 	iv.	 	the limited liability company agreement of the Guarantor, as amended, and
	 
	 	v.	 	the certificate of formation of the Guarantor, as amended.

We have also relied, with respect to certain factual matters, on the representations and warranties
of the Companies contained in the Credit Agreement and have assumed compliance by the Companies
with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

     In rendering our opinion, we have assumed (a) the due authorization, execution and delivery of
the Credit Agreement by all parties thereto (including the Companies), (b) the genuineness of all
signatures, (c) that, except as addressed in our opinions set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 below,
each of the Companies has all necessary power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the
Credit Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder, (d) the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, (e) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted
to us as copies and (f) that the execution and delivery by each of the

Form of Opinion of Special New York Counsel of the Company and the Guarantor

 

 

-2-

Companies of the Credit Agreement and the performance by each of the Companies of its
obligations thereunder (i) do not violate any law, rule or regulation, other than those addressed
in our opinion set forth in paragraph 3 below, (ii) do not require any authorization, approval or
other action by, or notice to or filing with, any governmental authority, other than those
addressed in our opinion set forth in paragraph 5 below, and (iii) do not result in a breach of or
constitute a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon either Company
or its assets.

     Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications hereinafter set forth, we are of
opinion as follows:

          1. Based solely on a certificate from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the
Borrower is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware. The Borrower has all necessary corporate power to execute and deliver the Credit
Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder.

          2. Based solely on a certificate from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the
Guarantor is a limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the State of Delaware. The Guarantor has all necessary limited liability company power to execute
and deliver the Credit Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder.

          3. The execution and delivery by each Company of the Credit Agreement and the performance by
such Company of its obligations thereunder do not violate (i) the articles of incorporation or the
by-laws of the Company or the limited liability company agreement or certificate of formation of
the Guarantor, or (ii) any law, rule or regulation of the United States of America or the State of
New York or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

          4. The Credit Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each Company,
enforceable against such Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws relating to or
affecting creditor’s rights generally from time to time in effect and to general principles of
equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair
dealing), regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. The foregoing
opinion is subject to the following qualifications: (i) insofar as provisions contained in the
Credit Agreement provide for indemnification or limitations on liability, the enforceability
thereof may be limited by public policy considerations, (ii) the availability of a decree for
specific performance or an injunction is subject to the discretion of the court requested to issue
any such decree or injunction and (iii) we express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of New York where any Lender may be located or where enforcement
of the Credit Agreement may be sought that limits the rates of interest legally chargeable or
collectible.

          5. No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any United
States Federal or New York governmental authority is required to be made or obtained by either
Company in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by such Company of the Credit
Agreement, other than (i) such reports to United States governmental authorities regarding
international capital and foreign currency transactions as may be required

Form of Opinion of Special New York Counsel of the Company and the Guarantor

 

 

-3-

pursuant to 31 C.F.R. Part 128, (ii) those that have been made or obtained and are in full
force and effect or as to which the failure to be made or obtained or to be in full force and
effect would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect on the
Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and (iii) such registrations, filings and
approvals that may be required because of the legal or regulatory status of any Lender or because
of any other facts specifically pertaining to any Lender.

     We express no opinion herein as to any provision in the Credit Agreement that (a) relates to
the subject matter jurisdiction of any Federal court of the United States of America, or any
Federal appellate court, to adjudicate any controversy related to the Credit Agreement (such as the
provision found in Section 8.11(a) of the Credit Agreement), (b) contains a waiver of an
inconvenient forum (such as the provision found in Section 8.11(b) of the Credit Agreement), (c)
relates to a right of setoff in respect of purchases of interests in loans (such as the provision
found in Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement) or with respect to parties that may not hold mutual
debts (such as the provision found in Section 8.05 of the Credit Agreement), (d) provides for
liquidated damages, (e) relates to the waiver of rights to jury trial (such as the provision found
in Section 8.12 of the Credit Agreement) or (f) relates to any arrangement or similar fee payable
to any arranger (including the Agent) of the commitments or loans under the Credit Agreement or any
fee not set forth in the Credit Agreement.

     We understand that you are satisfying yourselves as to the status under Section 548 of the
Bankruptcy Code and applicable state fraudulent conveyance laws of the obligations of the Borrower
and the Guarantor under the Credit Agreement and we express no opinion thereon.

     We are admitted to practice only in the State of New York, and we express no opinion as to
matters governed by any laws other than the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware and the Federal law of the United States of America.

     This opinion is rendered only to the Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and is
solely for their benefit in connection with the above transactions. In addition, we hereby consent
to reliance on this opinion by a permitted assign of a Lender’s interest in the Credit Agreement,
provided that such permitted assign becomes a Lender on or prior to the 30th day after the
date of this opinion. We are opining as to the matters herein only as of the date hereof, and,
while you are authorized to deliver copies of this opinion to such permitted assigns and they are
permitted to rely on this opinion, the rights to do so do not imply any obligation on our part to
update this opinion. This opinion may not be relied upon by any other person or for any other
purpose or used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose.

The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.01(g)(v) of the 5-Year Credit
Agreement, dated as of March 22, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”), among The Pepsi Bottling

examined:

          (4) The by-laws of the Company and all amendments thereto (the “By-laws”).

          (10) Resolutions of the Managing Directors of the Guarantor adopted on                     .

          In addition, I have examined the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to my
satisfaction, of such other corporate records of the Company and the Guarantor, certificates of
public officials and of officers of the Company and the Guarantor, and agreements, instruments and
other documents, as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. I have
assumed the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of the Credit Agreement by
the Initial Lenders and the Agent.

          The opinions expressed below are limited to the law of the State of New York, the Delaware

Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Company.

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications:

          (1) I express no opinion as to the effect (if any) of the law of any jurisdiction (other than
the State of New York) wherein any Lender may be located or wherein enforcement of the Credit

is given solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and may not be relied upon by any
other person or entity without my prior written consent.

[Form of Opinion of Special New York Counsel for the Agent]

March 22, 2006

To each of the Banks

      and the Agent party

      to the Credit Agreement referred to below

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We have acted as special New York counsel to Citibank, N.A, as administrative agent (in such
capacity, the “Agent”) in connection with the 5-Year Credit Agreement dated as of March 22,
2006 (the “Credit Agreement”), among The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. (the
“Borrower”), Bottling Group, LLC (the “Guarantor” and, together with the Borrower,
the “Credit Parties”), the banks and other financial institutions from time to time parties
thereto (the “Banks”) and the Agent.

          This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.01(g)(vi) of the Credit Agreement.
Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein
defined.

          In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined and relied on the Credit
Agreement and we have made such investigations of law as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of
this opinion.

          In our examination, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as
copies. When relevant facts were not independently established, we have relied upon
representations made in or pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

          In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed, with respect to the Credit
Agreement, that:

          (i) the Credit Agreement has been duly authorized by, has been duly executed and delivered
by, and (except to the extent set forth in the opinions below as to the Credit

Form of Opinion of Special New York Counsel for the Agent

 

 

-2-

Parties) constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of, all of the parties
thereto;

          (ii) all signatories to the Credit Agreement have been duly authorized;

          (iii) all of the parties to the Credit Agreement are duly organized and validly existing
under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of incorporation and have the power and authority
(corporate or other) to execute, deliver and perform the Credit Agreement.

          Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject also to the comments and qualifications
set forth below, and having considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary as a basis
for the opinions expressed below, we are of the opinion that the Credit Agreement constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Credit Parties party thereto, enforceable
against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or other similar laws
relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and except as the enforceability thereof
is subject to the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law), including, without limitation, (a) the possible unavailability
of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (b) concepts of
materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

          The foregoing opinions are subject to the following comments and qualifications:

          (A) The enforceability of Section 8.04(b) of the Credit Agreement may be limited by (i) laws
rendering unenforceable indemnification contrary to Federal or state securities laws and the public
policy underlying such laws and (ii) laws limiting the enforceability of provisions releasing,
exculpating or exempting a party, or requiring indemnification of a party for, liability for its
own action or inaction, to the extent the action or inaction involves gross negligence,
recklessness, wilful misconduct or unlawful conduct.

          (B) The enforceability of provisions in the Credit Agreement to the effect that terms may not
be waived or modified except in writing may be limited under certain circumstances.

          (C) We express no opinion as to (i) the effect of the laws of any jurisdiction in which any
Bank is located (other than the State of New York) that limit the interest, fees or other charges
such Bank may impose, (ii) Section 8.05 of the Credit Agreement to the extent it purports to grant
a right of set-off, (iii) Section 8.12(a) of the Credit Agreement, insofar as it relates to the
subject matter jurisdiction of any court of the United States of America sitting in New York City
to adjudicate any controversy related to the Credit Agreement, (iv) Section 8.12(b) of the Credit
Agreement insofar as it relates to inconvenient forum with respect to any Federal court and (v)
Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.

          (D) We express no opinion as to the applicability to the obligations of the Guarantor under
Article X of the Credit Agreement (or the enforceability of such obligations under) Section 548 of
the Bankruptcy Code, Article 10 of the New York Debtor and Creditor

Form of Opinion of Special New York Counsel for the Agent

 

 

-3-

Law or any other provision of law relating to fraudulent conveyances, transfers or
obligations, or the provisions of the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Guarantor
restricting dividends, loans or other distributions by a corporation for the benefit of its
stockholders.

          The foregoing opinions are limited to matters involving the Federal laws of the United States
of America and the law of the State of New York, and we do not express any opinion as to the laws
of any other jurisdiction.

          This opinion letter is, pursuant to Section 3.01(g)(vi) of the Credit Agreement, provided to
you by us in our capacity as special New York counsel to the Agent and may not be relied upon by
any Person for any purpose other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by the

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We make reference to the 5-Year Credit Agreement (as amended, supplemented and otherwise

2006 by and among The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. (the “Company”), Bottling Group, LLC (the

Exhibit 10.1

MERCK & CO., INC.

2007 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

(Effective May 1, 2006)

 

 

MERCK & CO., INC.

2007 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

(Effective May 1, 2006)

1. Purpose

     The 2007 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”), effective May 1, 2006, is established to
encourage employees of Merck & Co., Inc. (the “Company”), its subsidiaries, its affiliates and its
joint ventures to acquire Common Stock in the Company (“Common Stock”). It is believed that the
Plan will serve the interests of the Company and its stockholders because it allows employees to
have a greater personal financial interest in the Company through ownership of, or the right to
acquire its Common Stock, which in turn will stimulate employees’ efforts on the Company’s behalf,
and maintain and strengthen their desire to remain with the Company. It is believed that the Plan
also will assist in the recruitment of employees.

2. Administration

     The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Committee”). A Director of the Company may serve on the Committee
only if he or she (i) is a “Non-Employee Director” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and (ii) satisfies the requirements of an
“outside director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). The
Committee shall be responsible for the administration of the Plan including, without limitation,
determining which Eligible Employees receive Incentives, the types of Incentives they receive under
the Plan, the number of shares covered by Incentives granted under the Plan, and the other terms
and conditions of such Incentives. Determinations by the Committee under the Plan including,
without limitation, determinations of the Eligible Employees, the form, amount and timing of
Incentives, the terms and provisions of Incentives and the writings evidencing Incentives, need not
be uniform and may be made selectively among Eligible Employees who receive, or are eligible to
receive, Incentives hereunder, whether or not such Eligible Employees are similarly situated.

     The Committee shall have the responsibility of construing and interpreting the Plan,
including the right to construe disputed or doubtful Plan provisions, and of establishing, amending
and construing such rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or desirable for the proper
administration of the Plan. Any decision or action taken or to be taken by the Committee, arising
out of or in connection with the construction, administration, interpretation and effect of the
Plan and of its rules and regulations, shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be
within its absolute discretion (except as otherwise specifically provided herein) and shall be
final, binding and conclusive upon the Company, all Eligible Employees and any person claiming
under or through any Eligible Employee.

     The Committee, as permitted by applicable state law, may delegate any or all of its power
and authority hereunder to the Chief Executive Officer or such other senior member of management as
the Committee deems appropriate; provided, however, that the Committee may not delegate its
authority with regard to any matter or action affecting an “officer” as such term is defined in
Rule 16(a)-1(f) of the Exchange Act (a “Section 16 Officer”) and that no such delegation shall be
made in the case of Incentives intended to be qualified under Section 162(m) of the Code.

     For the purpose of this section and all subsequent sections, the Plan shall be deemed to
include this Plan and any comparable sub-plans established by subsidiaries which, in the aggregate,
shall constitute one Plan governed by the terms set forth herein.

3. Eligibility

     (a) Employees. Regular full-time and part-time employees employed by the Company,
its parent, if any, or its subsidiaries, its affiliates and its joint ventures, including
officers, whether or not directors of the
Company, and employees of a joint venture partner or affiliate of the Company who provide
services to the joint venture with such partner or affiliate (each such person, an
“Employee”), shall be eligible to participate in the Plan if designated by the Committee
(“Eligible Employees”).

1

 

     (b) Non-employees. The term “Employee” shall not include any of the following
(collectively, “Excluded Persons”): a director who is not an employee or an officer; a person
who is an independent contractor, or agrees or has agreed that he/she is an independent
contractor; a person who has any agreement or understanding with the Company, or any of its
affiliates or joint venture partners that he/she is not an employee or an Eligible Employee,
even if he/she previously had been an employee or Eligible Employee; a person who is employed
by a temporary or other employment agency, regardless of the amount of control, supervision or
training provided by the Company or its affiliates; or a “leased employee” as defined under
Section 414 (n) of the Code. An Excluded Person is not an Eligible Employee and cannot receive
Incentives even if a court, agency or other authority rules that he/she is a common-law
employee of the Company or its affiliates.

     (c) No Right To Continued Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or
limit in any way the right of the Company, its parent, its subsidiaries, its affiliates or its
joint ventures to terminate the employment of any participant at any time, nor confer upon any
participant the right to continue in the employ of the Company, its parent, its subsidiaries,
its affiliates or its joint ventures. No Eligible Employee shall have a right to receive an
Incentive or any other benefit under this Plan or having been granted an Incentive or other
benefit, to receive any additional Incentive or other benefit. Neither the award of an
Incentive nor any benefits arising under such Incentives shall constitute an employment
contract with the Company, its parent, its subsidiaries, its affiliates or its joint ventures,
and accordingly, this Plan and the benefits hereunder may be terminated at any time in the
sole and exclusive discretion of the Company without giving rise to liability on the part of
the Company, its parent, its subsidiaries, its affiliates or its joint ventures for severance.
Except as may be otherwise specifically stated in any other employee benefit plan, policy or
program, neither any Incentive under this Plan nor any amount realized from any such Incentive
shall be treated as compensation for any purposes of calculating an employee’s benefit under
any such plan, policy or program.

4. Term of the Plan

     This Plan shall be effective as of May 1, 2006, subject to the approval of the Plan by a
majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting of stockholders of the Company on or about April
25, 2006. No Incentive shall be granted under the Plan after April 30, 2011 (or such earlier date
that the Plan may be terminated by the Board), but the term and exercise of Incentives granted
theretofore may extend beyond that date.

5. Incentives

     Incentives under the Plan may be granted in any one or a combination of (a) Incentive
Stock Options (“ISOs”), (b) Nonqualified Options (together with ISOs, “Stock Options”), (c) Stock
Appreciation Rights, (d) Restricted Stock Grants, (e) Performance Awards, (f) Share Awards and (g)
Phantom Stock Awards (collectively, “Incentives”). All Incentives shall be subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein and to such other terms and conditions as may be established by the
Committee. In general, Incentives may not vest, and Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
may not be exercisable, earlier than one year from their grant date except in case of an
intervening event, such as for example, a change in control of the Company, or the grantee’s death,
retirement, termination of the employment caused by the Company, or other event as established by
the Committee, or as required by applicable law.

6. Shares Available for Incentives

     (a) Shares Available. Subject to the provisions of Section 6(c), the maximum number
of shares of Common Stock of the Company that may be issued under the Plan is 155 million.

          (i) A Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be counted as one share for purposes
of the limit set forth in Section 6(a) at the time of grant. A combination of Tandem SAR and
Stock Option, where the exercise of the Tandem SAR or Stock Option results in the
cancellation of the other, shall be counted as one share for purposes of the limit set forth
in Section 6(a) at the time of grant.

          (ii) A Restricted Stock Grant, Performance Share, Share Award or Phantom Stock Award
shall be counted as four shares for purposes of the limit set forth in Section 6(a) at the
time of grant.

2

 

          (iii) Any shares under this Plan or under the 1991, 1996, 2001 or 2004 Incentive Stock
Plans that are not purchased or awarded under an Incentive because such Incentive has lapsed,
expired, terminated or been canceled may be used for the further grant of Incentives under the
Plan.

          (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary: (a) shares tendered in payment of the
exercise price of a Stock Option shall not be added to the maximum share limitations described
above; (b) shares withheld by the Company to satisfy the tax withholding obligation shall not
be added to the maximum share limitations described above; and (c) all shares covered by a
Stock Appreciation Right, to the extent that it is exercised and whether or not shares of
Common Stock are actually upon exercise of the right, shall be considered issued or
transferred pursuant to the Plan.

          (v) Incentives and similar awards issued by an entity that is merged into or with the
Company, acquired by the Company or otherwise involved in a similar corporate transaction with
the Company are not considered issued under this Plan. Shares under this Plan may be delivered
by the Company from its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or from issued and
reacquired Common Stock held as treasury stock, or both. In no event shall fractional shares
of Common Stock be issued under the Plan.

     (b) Limit on an Individual’s Incentives. In any calendar year, no Eligible Employee
may receive (i) with respect to Incentives denominated with respect to shares of Common Stock,
Incentives covering more than 3 million shares of the
Company’s Common Stock (such number of shares shall be counted as provided in Section 6(a) and shall be adjusted in accordance with
Section 6(c)), or (ii) with respect to Incentives denominated in cash, Incentives with a fair
market value exceeding that of 3 million shares of Common Stock determined as of the date such
Incentive is granted.

     (c) Adjustment of Shares. In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock
split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, combination of shares, merger,
consolidation, rights offering, spin off, split off, split up or other event identified by the
Committee, the Committee shall make such adjustments, if any, as it may deem appropriate in
(i) the number and kind of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the number and
kind of shares subject to outstanding Incentives, (iii) the option price of Stock Options and
(iv) the grant value of Stock Appreciation Rights. Any such determination shall be final,
binding and conclusive on all parties.

7. Stock Options

     The Committee may grant options qualifying as ISOs as defined in Section 422 of the Code,
and options other than ISOs (“Nonqualified Options”). Such Stock Options shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe:

     (a) Stock Option Price. The option price per share with respect to each Stock
Option shall be determined by the Committee, but shall not be less than 100 percent of the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the Stock Option is granted, as determined
by the Committee.

     (b) Period of Stock Option. The period of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the
Committee, provided that the period for all Stock Options shall not exceed ten years from the
grant, provided further, however, that, in the event of the death of an Optionee prior to the
expiration of a Nonqualified Option, such Nonqualified Option may, if the Committee so
determines, be exercisable for up to eleven years from the date
of the grant. The Committee may, subsequent to the granting of any Stock Option, extend
the term thereof, but in no event shall the extended term exceed ten years from the original
grant date.

     (c) Exercise of Stock Option and Payment Therefore. No shares shall be issued until
full payment of the option price has been made. The option price may be paid in cash or, if
the Committee determines, in shares of Common Stock, a combination of cash and shares of
Common Stock, or through a cashless exercise procedure that allows grantees to sell
immediately some or all of the shares underlying the exercised portion of the Option in order
to generate sufficient cash to pay the option price. If the Committee
approves the use of shares of Common Stock as a payment method, the Committee shall establish such conditions as
it deems appropriate for the use of Common Stock to exercise a Stock Option. Stock Options
awarded under the Plan shall be exercised through such procedure or program as the Committee
may establish or define from time to time, which may include a designated broker that must be
used in exercising such Stock Options. The

3

 

Committee may establish rules and procedures to
permit an optionholder to defer recognition of gain upon the exercise of a Stock Option.

     (d) First Exercisable Date. The Committee shall determine how and when shares
covered by a Stock Option may be purchased. The Committee may establish waiting periods, the
dates on which Stock Options become exercisable or “vested” and, subject to paragraph (b) of
this section, exercise periods. The Committee may accelerate the exercisability of any Stock
Option or portion thereof.

     (e) Termination of Employment. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee, upon
the termination of a Stock Option grantee’s employment (for any reason other than gross
misconduct), Stock Option privileges shall be limited to the shares that were immediately
exercisable at the date of such termination. The Committee, however, in its discretion, may
provide that any Stock Options outstanding but not yet exercisable upon the termination of a
Stock Option grantee’s employment may become exercisable in accordance with a schedule
determined by the Committee. Such Stock Option privileges shall expire unless exercised within
such period of time after the date of termination of employment as may be established by the
Committee, but in no event later than the expiration date of the Stock Option.

     (f) Termination Due to Misconduct. If a Stock Option grantee’s employment is
terminated for gross misconduct, as determined by the Company, all rights under the Stock
Option shall expire upon the date of such termination.

     (g) Limits on ISOs. Except as may otherwise be permitted by the Code, an Eligible
Employee may not receive a grant of ISOs for stock that would have an aggregate fair market
value in excess of $100,000 (or such other amount as the Internal Revenue Service may decide
from time to time), determined as of the time that the ISO is granted, that would be
exercisable for the first time by such person during any calendar year. If any grant is made
in excess of the limits provided in the Code, such grant shall automatically become a
Nonqualified Option.

     (h) No dividend equivalents. Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no
dividends or dividend equivalents may be paid on Stock Options.

8. Stock Appreciation Rights

     The Committee may, in its discretion, grant a right to receive the appreciation in the
fair market value of shares of Common Stock (“Stock Appreciation Right”) either singly or in
combination with an underlying Stock Option granted hereunder. Such Stock Appreciation Right shall
be subject to the following terms and conditions and such other terms and conditions as the
Committee may prescribe:

     (a) Time and Period of Grant. If a Stock Appreciation Right is granted with respect
to an underlying Stock Option (a “Tandem SAR”), it may be granted at the time of the Stock
Option grant or at any time thereafter but prior to the expiration of the Stock Option grant.
At the time the Tandem SAR is granted the Committee may limit the exercise period for such
Stock Appreciation Right, before and after which period no
Stock Appreciation Right shall attach to the underlying Stock Option. In no event shall
the exercise period for a Tandem SAR exceed the exercise period for such Stock Option. If a
Stock Appreciation Right is granted without an underlying Stock Option (a “Stand Alone SAR”),
the period for exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right shall be set by the Committee.

     (b) Value of Stock Appreciation Right. The grantee of a Tandem SAR will be entitled
to surrender the Stock Option which is then exercisable and receive in exchange therefor an
amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the
election to surrender is received by the Company in accordance with exercise procedures
established by the Company over the Stock Option price (the “Spread”) multiplied by the number
of shares covered by the Stock Option which is surrendered. The grantee of a Stand Alone SAR
will receive upon exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right an amount equal to the excess of
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the election to surrender such Stand
Alone SAR is received by the Company in accordance with exercise procedures established by the
Company over the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant multiplied by the
number of shares covered by the grant of the Stand Alone SAR. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in its sole discretion the Committee at the

4

 

time it grants a Stock Appreciation Right may
provide that the Spread covered by such Stock Appreciation Right may not exceed a specified
amount.

     (c) Payment of Stock Appreciation Right. Payment of a Stock Appreciation Right
shall be in the form of shares of Common Stock, cash or any combination of shares and cash.
The form of payment upon exercise of such a right shall be determined by the Committee either
at the time of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right or at the time of exercise of the Stock
Appreciation Right.

     (d) No dividend equivalents. Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no
dividends or dividend equivalents may be paid on Stock Appreciation Rights.

9. Performance Awards

     The Committee may grant awards denominated in shares of Common Stock (“Performance
Shares”), or denominated in dollars(“Performance Units”) if the performance of the Company or its
parent or any subsidiary, division, affiliate or joint venture of the Company selected by the
Committee during the Award Period meets certain goals established by the Committee (“Performance
Awards”). Performance Awards shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and such other
terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe:

     (a) Award Period and Performance Goals. The Committee shall determine and include
in a Performance Share Award grant the period of time for which a Performance Share Award is
made (“Award Period”). The Committee also shall establish performance objectives (“Performance
Goals”) to be met by the Company, its parent, subsidiary, division, affiliate or joint venture
of the Company during the Award Period as a condition to payment of the Performance Award. The
Performance Goals may include share price, pre-tax profits, earnings per share, return on
stockholders’ equity, return on assets, sales, net income, total shareholder return or any
combination of the foregoing or, solely for an Award not intended to constitute
“performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, any other financial or
other measurement established by the Committee. The Performance Goals may include minimum and
optimum objectives or a single set of objectives.

     (b) Payment of Performance Awards. The Committee shall establish the method of
calculating the amount of payment to be made under a Performance Award if the Performance
Goals are met, including the fixing of a maximum payment. After the completion of an Award
Period, the performance of the Company, its parent, subsidiary, division, affiliate or joint
venture of the Company shall be measured against the Performance Goals, and the Committee
shall determine, in accordance with the terms of such Performance Award, whether all, none or
any portion of a Performance Award shall be paid. The Committee, in its discretion, may elect
to make payment in shares of Common Stock, cash or a combination of shares and cash. Any cash
payment shall be based on the fair market value of shares of Common Stock on, or as soon as
practicable prior to, the date of payment. The Committee may establish rules and procedures to
permit a grantee to defer recognition of income upon the attainment of a Performance Award.

     (c) Revision of Performance Goals. As to any Award not intended to constitute
“performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, at any time prior to the
end of an Award Period, the Committee may revise the Performance Goals and the computation of
payment if unforeseen events occur which have a substantial effect on the performance of the
Company, its parent, subsidiary, division, affiliate or joint venture of the Company and
which, in the judgment of the Committee, make the application of the Performance Goals unfair
unless a revision is made.

     (d) Requirement of Employment. A grantee of a Performance Award must remain in the
employ of the Company, its parent, subsidiary, affiliate or joint venture until the completion
of the Award Period in order to be entitled to payment under the Performance Award; provided
that the Committee may, in its discretion, provide for a full or partial payment where such an
exception is deemed equitable.

     (e) Dividends. The Committee may, in its discretion, at the time of the granting of
a Performance Award, provide that any dividends declared on the Common Stock during the Award
Period, and which would have been paid with respect to Performance Shares had they been owned
by a grantee, be (i) paid to the grantee, or (ii) accumulated for the benefit of the grantee
and used to increase the number of Performance Shares of the grantee or (iii) not paid or
accumulated.

5

 

10. Restricted Stock Grants

     The Committee may award actual shares of Common Stock (“Restricted Stock”) or phantom
shares of Common Stock (“Restricted Stock Units”) to an Eligible Employee, which shares shall be
subject to the following terms and conditions and such other terms and conditions as the Committee
may prescribe (“Restricted Stock Grants”).

     (a) Requirement of Employment. A grantee of a Restricted Stock Grant must remain in
the employment of the Company during a period designated by the Committee (“Restricted
Period”) in order to receive the shares, cash or combination thereof under the Restricted
Stock Grant. If the grantee leaves the employment of the Company prior to the end of the
Restricted Period, the Restricted Stock Grant shall terminate and any shares of Common Stock
shall be returned immediately to the Company, provided that the Committee may, at the time of
the grant, provide for the employment restriction to lapse with respect to a portion or
portions of the Restricted Stock Grant at different times during the Restricted Period. The
Committee may, in its discretion, also provide for such complete or partial exceptions to the
employment restriction as it deems equitable.

     (b) Restrictions on Transfer and Legend on Stock Certificates. During the
Restricted Period, the grantee may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of
the Restricted Stock Grant, including but not limited to any shares of Common Stock. Any
certificate for shares of Common Stock issued hereunder shall contain a legend giving
appropriate notice of the restrictions in the grant.

     (c) Escrow Agreement. The Committee may require the grantee to enter into an escrow
agreement providing that any certificates representing the Restricted Stock Grant will remain
in the physical custody of an escrow holder until all restrictions are removed or expire.

     (d) Lapse of Restrictions. All restrictions imposed under the Restricted Stock
Grant shall lapse upon the expiration of the Restricted Period if the conditions as to
employment set forth above have been met. The grantee shall then be entitled to have the
legend removed from any certificates for Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock Units may be paid
in the form of shares of Common Stock, cash or any combination of shares and cash as
determined by the Committee. The Committee may establish rules and procedures to permit a
grantee to defer recognition of income upon the expiration of the Restricted Period.

     (e) Dividends. The Committee may, in its discretion, at the time of the Restricted
Stock Grant, provide that any dividends declared on Common Stock during the Restricted Period
or dividend equivalents be (i)
paid to the grantee, or (ii) accumulated for the benefit of the grantee and paid to the
grantee only after the expiration of the Restricted Period or (iii) not paid or accumulated.

     (f) Performance Goals. The Committee may designate whether any Restricted Stock
Grant is intended to be “performance-based compensation” as that term is used in Section
162(m) of the Code. Any such Restricted Stock Grant designated to be “performance-based
compensation” shall be conditioned on the achievement of one or more Performance Goals (as
defined in Section 9(a)), to the extent required by Section 162(m).

11. Other Share-Based Awards

     The Committee may grant an award of actual shares of common stock (a “Share Award”) or
phantom shares of common stock (a “Phantom Stock Award”) to any Eligible Employee on such terms and
conditions as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion. Share Awards may be made as
additional compensation for services rendered by the Eligible Employee or may be in lieu of cash or
other compensation to which the Eligible Employee is entitled from the Company.

12. Transferability

     Each ISO granted under the Plan shall not be transferable other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution; each other Incentive granted under the Plan will not be transferable
or assignable by the recipient, and may not be made subject to execution, attachment or similar
procedures, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or as determined by the
Committee in accordance with the Exchange Act or any other applicable

6

 

law or regulation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its discretion, may adopt rules permitting the
transfer, solely as gifts during the grantee’s lifetime, of Stock Options (other than ISOs) to
members of a grantee’s immediate family or to trusts, family partnerships or similar entities for
the benefit of such immediate family members. For this purpose, immediate family member means the
grantee’s spouse, parent, child, stepchild, grandchild and the spouses of such family members. The
terms of a Stock Option shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the beneficiaries, executors,
administrators, heirs and successors of the grantee.

13. Discontinuance or Amendment of the Plan

     The Board of Directors may discontinue the Plan at any time and may from time to time
amend or revise the terms of the Plan as permitted by applicable statutes, except that it may not,
without the consent of the grantees affected, revoke or alter, in a manner unfavorable to the
grantees of any Incentives hereunder, any Incentives then outstanding, nor may the Board amend the
Plan without stockholder approval where the absence of such approval would cause the Plan to fail
to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, or any other requirement of applicable law or
regulation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without consent of affected grantees, Incentives may be
amended, revised or revoked when necessary to avoid penalties under Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Unless approved by the Company’s stockholders or as otherwise
specifically provided under this Plan, no adjustments or reduction of the exercise price of any
outstanding Incentives shall be made in the event of a decline in stock price, either by reducing
the exercise price of outstanding Incentives or through cancellation of outstanding Incentives in
connection with regranting of Incentives at a lower price to the same individual.

14. No Limitation on Compensation

     Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company to establish
other plans or to pay compensation to its employees, in cash or property, in a manner which is not
expressly authorized under the Plan.

15. No Constraint on Corporate Action

     Nothing in the Plan shall be construed (i) to limit, impair or otherwise affect the
Company’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its
capital or business structure, or to merge or
consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or
assets, or (ii) except as provided in Section 13, to limit the right or power of the Company, its
parent, or any subsidiary, affiliate or joint venture to take any action which such entity deems to
be necessary or appropriate.

16. Withholding Taxes

     The Company shall be entitled to deduct from any payment under the Plan, regardless of
the form of such payment, the amount of all applicable income and employment taxes required by law
to be withheld with respect to such payment or may require the Eligible Employee to pay to it such
tax prior to and as a condition of the making of such payment. In accordance with any applicable
administrative guidelines it establishes, the Committee may allow an Eligible Employee to pay the
amount of taxes required by law to be withheld from an Incentive by withholding from any payment of
Common Stock due as a result of such Incentive, or by permitting the Eligible Employee to deliver
to the Company, shares of Common Stock having a fair market value, as determined by the Committee,
equal to the amount of such required withholding taxes.

17. Compliance with Section 16

     With respect to Eligible Employees who are Section 16 Officers, transactions under the
Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successor under the
Exchange Act. To the extent that compliance with any Plan provision applicable solely to the
Section 16 Officers is not required in order to bring a transaction by such Section 16 Officer into
compliance with Rule 16b-3, it shall be deemed null and void as to such transaction, to the extent
permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee and its delegees. To the extent any
provision of the Plan or action by the Plan administrators involving such Section 16 Officers is
deemed not to comply with an applicable condition of Rule 16b-3, it shall be deemed null and void
as to such Section 16 Officers, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Plan
administrators.

18. Use of Proceeds

     Any proceeds received by the Company under the Plan shall be added to the general funds
of the Company and shall be used for such corporate purposes as the Board of Directors shall
direct.

19. Governing Law

     The Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey without giving effect to the principles of
conflicts of laws.

20. Offset and Suspension of Exercise

     Anything to the contrary in the Plan notwithstanding, the Plan administrators may (i)
offset any Incentive by amounts reasonably believed to be owed to the Company by the grantee and
(ii) disallow an Incentive to be exercised or otherwise payable during a time when the Company is
investigating reasonably reliable allegations of gross misconduct by the grantee.

21. Effect of a Change in Control.

     (a) Options.

1. Vesting of Options Other Than Key R&D Options. Upon the occurrence of a Change in
Control, each Stock Option which is outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control,
other than the Key R&D Options, shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable.

     2. Vesting of Key R&D Options.

(i) Subject to Section 21(a)(2)(ii), upon the occurrence of a Change in
Control, each Key R&D Option shall continue to be subject to the performance-based
vesting schedule applicable thereto immediately prior to the Change in Control.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 21(a)(2)(i), if the Stock Options do not continue
to be outstanding following the Change in Control or are not exchanged for or
converted into options to purchase securities of a successor entity (“Successor
Options”), then, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, all or a portion of
each Key R&D Option shall immediately vest and become exercisable in the following
percentages: (A) if such Key R&D Option’s first milestone has not been reached
before the date of the Change in Control, 14% of the then-unvested portion of the
Key R&D Option shall vest and become exercisable and the remainder shall be
forfeited; (B) if only such Key R&D Option’s first milestone has been reached before
the date of the Change in Control, 42% of the then-unvested portion of the Key R&D
Option shall vest and become exercisable and the remainder shall be forfeited; and
(C) if such Key R&D Option’s first and second milestones have been reached before
the date of the Change in Control, 100% of the then-unvested portion of the Key R&D
Option shall vest and become exercisable.

3. Post-Termination Exercise Period. If Stock Options continue to be outstanding following
the Change in Control or are exchanged for or converted into Successor Options, then the
portion of such Stock Options or such Successor Options, as applicable, that is vested and
exercisable immediately following the termination of employment of the holder thereof after
the Change in Control shall remain exercisable following such termination for five years
from the date of such termination (but not beyond the remainder of the term thereof)
(provided, however, that, if such termination is by reason of gross misconduct, death or
retirement (as these terms are applied to awards granted under the Plan), then those
provisions of the Plan that are applicable to a termination by reason of gross misconduct,
death or retirement shall apply to such termination).

4. Cashout of Stock Options. If the Stock Options do not continue to be outstanding
following the Change in Control and are not exchanged for or converted into Successor
Options, each holder of a vested and
exercisable option shall be entitled to receive, as soon as practicable following the Change
in Control, for each share of Common Stock subject to a vested and exercisable option, an
amount of cash determined by the Committee prior to the Change in Control but in no event
less than the excess of the Change in Control

8

 

Price over the exercise price thereof (subject
to any existing deferral elections then in effect). If the consideration to be paid in a
Change in Control is not entirely shares of common stock of an acquiring or resulting
corporation, then the Committee may, prior to the Change in Control, provide for the
cancellation of outstanding Stock Options at the time of the Change in Control in whole or
in part for cash pursuant to this Section 21(a)(4) or may provide for the exchange or
conversion of outstanding Stock Options at the time of the Change in Control in whole or in
part, and, in connection with any such provision, may (but shall not be obligated to) permit
holders of Stock Options to make such elections related thereto as it determines are
appropriate.

(b) Restricted Stock Grants and Performance Share Awards.

1. Vesting of Restricted Stock Grants. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each
unvested Restricted Stock Grant which is outstanding immediately prior to the Change in
Control under the Plan shall immediately become fully vested.

2. Vesting of Performance Award. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each unvested
Performance Award which is outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control under the
Plan shall immediately become vested in an amount equal to the PSU Pro Rata Amount.

3. Settlement of Restricted Stock Grants and Performance Awards.

(i) If the Common Stock continues to be widely held and freely tradeable
following the Change in Control or is exchanged for or converted into securities of
a successor entity that are widely held and freely tradeable, then the vested
Incentives shall be paid in shares of Common Stock or such other securities as soon
as practicable after the date of the Change in Control, or in the form of cash with
respect to Performance Units (subject to any existing deferral elections then in
effect).

(ii) If the Common Stock does not continue to be widely held and freely
tradeable following the Change in Control and is not exchanged for or converted into
securities of a successor entity that are widely held and freely tradeable, then the
vested Incentives shall be paid in cash as soon as practicable after the date of the
Change in Control (subject to any existing deferral elections then in effect).

(c) Other Provisions.

1. Except to the extent required by applicable law, for the entirety of the Protection
Period, the material terms of the Plan shall not be modified in any manner that is
materially adverse to the Qualifying Participants (it being understood that this Section
21(c) shall not require that any specific type or levels of equity awards be granted to
Qualifying Participants following the Change in Control).

2. During the Protection Period, the Plan may not be amended or modified to reduce or
eliminate the protections set forth in Section 21(c)(1) and may not be terminated.

3. The Company shall pay all legal fees and related expenses (including the costs of
experts, evidence and counsel) reasonably and in good faith incurred by a Qualifying
Participant if the Qualifying Participant prevails on his or her claim for relief in an
action (x) by the Qualifying Participant claiming that the provisions of Section 21(c)(1) or
21(c)(2) of the Plan have been violated (but, for avoidance of doubt, excluding claims for
plan benefits in the ordinary course) and (y) if applicable, by the Company or the
Qualifying Participant’s employer to enforce post-termination covenants against the
Qualifying Participant.

(d) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 21, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:

1. “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Company’s Change in Control
Separation Benefits Plan; provided, however, that, as to any award under the Plan that
consists of deferred
compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the definition of “Change in Control”
shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

9

 

2. “Change in Control Price” shall mean, with respect to a share of Common Stock, the higher
of (A) the highest reported sales price, regular way, of such share in any transaction
reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape or other national exchange on which
such shares are listed or on the NASDAQ National Market during the ten-day period prior to
and including the date of a Change in Control and (B) if the Change in Control is the result
of a tender or exchange offer, merger, or other, similar corporate transaction, the highest
price per such share paid in such tender or exchange offer, merger or other, similar
corporate transaction; provided that, to the extent all or part of the consideration paid in
any such transaction consists of securities or other noncash consideration, the value of
such securities or other noncash consideration shall be determined by the Committee.

3. “Key R&D Options” shall mean those performance-based options granted to employees under
the Key Research and Development Program described in the applicable Schedule to the Rules
and Regulations for the Plan.

4. “Protection Period” shall mean the period beginning on the date of the Change in Control
and ending on the second anniversary of the date of the Change in Control.

5. “PSU Pro Rata Amount” shall mean for each Performance Award, the amount determined by the
Committee when it grants Performance Awards.

6. “Qualifying Participants” shall mean those individuals who participate in the Plan
(whether as current or former employees) as of immediately prior to the Change in Control.
