Date (i) each CP Lender shall make an assignment to its related Committed
Lenders of its Advances Outstanding in respect of Revolver Loans at such time
and (ii) each Committed Lender shall make an advance (each, a “Revolver Loan
Funding”) in an amount equal to such Committed Lender’s ratable share of
the aggregate outstanding unfunded commitments under the Revolver Loans (collectively,
the “Revolver Loan Funding Amount”). 
Upon receipt of the proceeds of such Revolver Loan Funding, the
Administrative Agent shall deposit such funds into segregated accounts (each, a
“Revolver Loan Funding Account”), in its name, referencing the name of
such Committed Lender, and maintained at a Qualified Institution.  Each Committed Lender hereby grants to the
Administrative Agent full power and authority, on its behalf, to withdraw funds
from the applicable Revolver Loan Funding Account at the time of, and in
connection with, the funding of any Post-Termination Revolver Loan Fundings to 

 

5

 

be
made by the Borrower, and to deposit to the related Revolver Loan Funding
Account any funds received in respect of each relevant Committed Lender’s
ratable share of principal payments under Section 2.8 hereof, all in
accordance with the terms of and for the purposes set forth in this
Agreement.  The deposit of monies in such
Revolver Loan Funding Account by any Committed Lender shall not constitute an
Advance (and such Committed Lender shall not be entitled to interest on such
monies except as provided in clause (d) below) unless and until (and then only
to the extent that) such monies are used to make Post-Termination Revolver Loan
Fundings pursuant to the first sentence of clause (b) below).  On each Payment Date, the Borrower shall pay
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Committed Lenders, a fee (the “Revolver
Loan Funding Fee”) equal to 0.30%, multiplied by the weighted average
amount on deposit in the Revolver Loan Funding Accounts during the applicable
Settlement Period, calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual
number of days elapsed.

 

(b)           From and after
the establishment of a Revolver Loan Funding Account with respect to any Committed
Lender, and until the earlier of (i) the reduction to zero of all outstanding
commitments in respect of Revolver Loans and (ii) one year following the Revolver
Loan Funding Date, all Post-Termination Revolver Loan Fundings to be made by
such Committed Lender hereunder shall be made by withdrawing funds from the
applicable Revolver Loan Funding Account. 
On each Business Day during such time, the Administrative Agent shall,
(i) if a Revolver Loan Funding Account Shortfall exists, deposit the lesser of
(A) the amount allocable to the repayment of principal to the Committed Lenders
and (B) the Revolver Loan Funding Account Shortfall and (ii) if a Revolver Loan
Funding Account Surplus exists, pay to the applicable Managing Agent, on behalf
of each Committed Lender, such Committed Lender’s ratable share of the Revolver
Loan Funding Account Surplus.  Until the
earlier of (i) the reduction to zero of all outstanding commitments in respect
of Revolver Loans and (ii) one year following the Revolver Loan Funding Date,
all remaining funds then held in such Revolver Loan Funding Account (after
giving effect to any Post-Termination Revolver Loan Fundings to be made on such
date) shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Managing
Agent, on behalf of such Committed Lender, and thereafter all payments made in
respect of the 

 

6

 

Loans
(whether or not originally funded from such Committed Lender’s Revolver Loan
Funding Account) shall be paid directly to the applicable Managing Agent, on
behalf of such Committed Lender, in accordance with the terms of Section 2.8.

 

(c)           The Program
Agent may, its sole discretion, advance funds withdrawn from the Revolver Loan
Funding Accounts to (i) the Borrower or (ii) the applicable Obligor directly,
on behalf of the Borrower, and in either case, such funds shall be used solely
for the purpose of funding advances requested by an Obligor under a Revolver
Loan.

 

(d)           Proceeds in a Revolver
Loan Funding Account shall be invested, at the written direction of the
applicable Committed Lender (or the applicable Managing Agent on its behalf) to
the applicable Revolver Loan Funding Account bank, only in investments which
constitute Permitted Investments.  The
investment earnings with respect to a Revolver Loan Funding Account shall
accrue as the Committed Lender and Revolver Loan Funding Account bank shall
agree.  The Administrative Agent shall
direct the Revolver Loan Funding Account bank to pay all such investment
earnings from the relevant account directly to the applicable Managing Agent,
for the account of the applicable Committed Lender.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, none of the Administrative Agent, the other
Managing Agents, the other Purchasers nor the Revolver Loan Funding Account
bank shall have any liability for any loss arising from any investment or
reinvestment made by it with respect to a Revolver Loan Funding Account in
accordance with, and pursuant to, the provisions hereof.

 

(xv)         to delete “Section
5.2   Hedging Agreement” in its entirety
and substitute the section set forth in Annex II therefor;

 

(xvi)        to amend “Section
12.1 Amendments and Waivers” to delete the following language in its entirety:

 

(x)
 written notice to Concord delivered two

Summary of
Officers’ Incentive Plan for Fiscal Year 2006

 

Purpose

 

The purpose of this plan is to provide
executive officers with a financial incentive to encourage them to perform in a
manner that is aligned with the Company’s objectives and performance goals, and
to contribute to the Company’s ability to hire and retain quality executives.

 

Eligibility and Participation

 

Eligible employees in this plan include all
corporate officers recommended for participation by the Chief Executive Officer
and approved by the Compensation Committee. 
Participants include the following positions:

 

President and Chief Executive Officer

Executive Vice President and President,
International Division

Senior Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer

Senior Vice President, Business Development
and General Counsel

Senior Vice President and President, N.A.
Division

Senior Vice President, Marketing

 

New officers hired during the fiscal year are
eligible to participate during that fiscal year on a prorated basis if participation
is recommended by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Compensation
Committee.  To receive a bonus award, the
participant must be actively employed at the time the awards are paid unless
otherwise recommended by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the
Compensation Committee.  Participation in
the plan does not confer a right on the participant to participate in any
subsequent year or the right to continue in the Company’s employment.

 

Bonus Target Percentages

 

The target percentage used to calculate the
bonus is expressed as a percentage of base salary.  The target percentage varies from 50% to 100%
based on the officer’s position.  The
target award represents the level of bonus payment the participant may earn if
the plan performance is achieved at target and acceptable organizational
standards are met.  Participants may
receive bonus awards above or below the target based on performance levels that
exceed or fall below expectations.

 

Bonus Calculation

 

The bonus payment is based on three measures:
Financial Performance, Operational Performance and Individual Performance.  Financial Performance is based upon earnings
per share of the Company and earnings before taxes for the applicable division
of the Company.  Operational Performance
is based upon the incident rate of recordable injuries and lost time
accidents.  Individual Performance is
determined based upon the participant’s individual contribution to the Company’s
performance.

 

Under the plan, each officer’s bonus amount
is first calculated based on an objective analysis of our Financial Performance
and Operational Performance, with approximately 90% of this amount based on the
Financial Performance and 10% based on the Operational Performance.  An Individual Performance multiplier, which
can range from 0 to 1.25 times, is then applied to the bonus to account for
each executive officer’s individual performance.  The bonuses are calculated after the end of
the fiscal year for the Compensation Committee’s review and approval.  Under the plan, determination of actual
performance awards is the responsibility of the Compensation Committee, which
reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to increase or decrease awards to
participants.
